That account is Google's Official Nexus One account, and seems to be hinting at something arriving. Gingerbread, maybe? The numbers are how you "call in" with a Nexus to check for an update.

So far no major slowdown after resume while running overclock widget. Going on 8 hours now. Pretty sure this solves the issue.

I'm still getting major lag. what are your settings?
[G Tablet Android Development] Bad@ssGtab:
Thanks! That got rid of the standard X boot and now I have the Vegan!, but still have the birds and the G Tablet screens.... Are we unable to change these?
[G Tablet Android Development] anlog:
Min and Max both set to 1000000 while on, and both at 128000 while screen is off. Autostart on boot.
[G Tablet Android Development] anlog:
Those need to be changed with nvflash and a custom boot image. Not worth the trouble IMO.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
The birds is a boot.bmp in the bootloader - that can be changed with nvflash. I actually have an nvflash template in the dev forum that can be used as a template - it has an Nvidia boot image that rothnic supplied. It does need to be a certain size and might be a little tricky to replace, other than the few canned ones we have. I happen to like the Nvidia one.

The GTablet one is in the ramdisk, I believe. I think it's a file called "initlogo.rle". This one is trickier to deal with as it's in in a special format that I have yet to alter. Do a search for "initlogo.rle" and you'll see what I mean.
[G Tablet Android Development] 3panther:
I found the instructions for converting the initlogo.rle to png in this thread:

Are there instructions on how to go from TNT lite 2.4 to Vega-n beta 3?
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:

the instructions are the same as tnt lite. just make sure you backup and do a full data/cache wipe.

no audio freezing on TnT Lite after one day of use

I've been trying to re-do the VEGAn build to be as close to a modular format as possible, and now I have another reason to do that if audio playback really does cause freezing. Might be some lib compatiblity issue that eludes me.

Problem is that, so far, getting BT and WiFi to work is problematic. It's just a question of finding the libs file(s) that are needed and changing them. Still working on it.
[G Tablet Android Development] Bad@ssGtab:
First off, thanks for the responses to the boot screens. I fixed 2 of them...

The advantages of this build over the std firmware are well worth the little bugs here and there... My concern would be giving this to someone with no computer skills and they get stuck on a frozen screen or a FC.

Overall I have not had a lot of issues with this OS....

Pretty Bad@ss

if you ask me... The team of folks on this forum are incredible.. Thank you..

I would say the 2 things that "bug" me the most is the tab shutting off all by itself and losing the WF signal.

Instead of going to "sleep" it completely shuts down.... Happens about 3 out of 5 times.
[G Tablet Android Development] anlog:
The "Wi-Fi Keep Alive" app should keep your wifi up, even when in sleep mode. You need to enable workarounds 3 and 4 in the app.

I've never had the shutdown problem you describe.

[G Tablet Android Development] acooper:
Suspend? Sleep?

Loving Vegan Beta 3. My only issue is that when I hold the power button and get the menu, I have no option to put the tablet to sleep. I assumed the "suspend" option was the same but it immediately takes me back to the home screen without putting tablet to sleep. If I just tap the power button it appears to go to sleep but upon waking up it seems battery power was used. Anybody else with similar issue or is there a thread on this I missed?

Thanks for all the help. Love my G-Tab thanks to this community.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:

Chinese Language support in VegaN?

Does the VegaN firmware support traditional or simplified Chinese?
[G Tablet Android Development] rkmFL:
Wow, just flashed VEGAn, overwriting my former CM install. VEGAn is *awesome*!

I not have USB storage back, and sound, not to mention it runs so amazingly quick!

Is there any way to switch to the

Android keyboard

in place of Tap-n-Tap (or remove Tap-n-Tap altogether), similar to the capability in CM?

I attempted to do this in Settings > Language & Keyboard -- the problem is that I could only find options for customizing each of these .. Nothing for choosing the default.

Also, I did a search to see if CIFS shares are supported under the Avant Vega kernel, but couldn't find a single result mentioning either way. Anyone have experience with this?

Thank you in advance! :-)

RKM
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
I thought that's how you change the keyboard, but that's not how it works. You have to bring the Tap-n-Tap keyboard while you are typing something like email or weburl, and then press down on empty space on keyboard which brings other menu for input method.

Select Android keyboard, and it will change it.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
Saw all the posts about Xfinity. So, I tried it. It is playing NCIS pretty well right now. I am using XScope for a browser but I am also using some of the Hulu tricks from this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9570804&postcount=3

I think the hanging may be due to the adfree part. I did not delete, or rename my host file I just installed adfree, let it update the host file, and then selected revert.

NCIS still playing.. Only issue is my screen timeout is 10 minutes but I just tapped the power button and it is still playing..
[G Tablet Android Development] lcyn:
Xfinity wroks well for me. But Xfinity is not yet set up to watch streaming TV on the tablet. You can access your email, view schedules, and set up to record on your DVR. You can also see On Demand schedules, and watch trailers of On Demand shows. In January they are supposed to release an app to watch streaming TV.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
I have done the same thing, and got it Hulu working, but can't get the Xfinity to work. I am going to try the xscope browser..

Finger crossed...only got it working one time, and it won't work again.

I was surprised it worked. I am watching full screen right now which Hulu doesn't like to do.

[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
I agree.. I have been trying to get ultra keyboard to display full width and can't figure it out. The Swipe feature in Ultra seems to work really well.
[G Tablet Android Development] n2thecloud:
I agree. The gingerbread keyboard is too small for the 10.1 screen. Also the TnT keyboard has the advantage in that it is split allowing easier access to two thumb typing while holding in landscape. I do miss the voice input on Gingerbread.

TnT should update that. ;)
[G Tablet Android Development] jacindc:
I mentioned this somewhere else yesterday, but I'm using Thumb Keyboard ($1.99 in the Market). It's newish and still a little rough (only just now added autocorrect), but it's got a great split-screen keyboard for landscape mode. Makes for very comfortable typing with your thumbs when you're holding the tablet with both hands. Especially when you have small hands like me.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
my problem is that it worked for me once without authenticating my account, but when I login using my account, it did not work. figure that out?

Will keep trying. yes, I have set my agent to computer as I don't like those limited usability mobile website.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
Hmm.. I have Comcast for my TV but have never logged in to Xfinity. I didn't even know it existed until I saw you guys talking about it.

NCIS played the whole way. I did have issues with sync after watching about 2/3rds of it. Mouths moving but the voice was late. I chalk that up to being a beta version of flash. Maybe the official flash version will work better. Still, pretty neat..
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
Do you have Comcast for the internet as well? May be it knows the IP Range for the Comcast Internet Subcriber, so you don't need to authenticate except for the premium channel.

I was coming to xfinity from other provider, and still was able to play part of one program online. I have HBO, and wanted to see if I can play restricted content?

[G Tablet Android Development] mike0miller:
I don't know if the camera.apk worked, but I deleted Camera.apk. I had no way to start camera.apk at that point. I adb pulled camera.apk, renamed it to Camera.apk and adb installed the new Camera.apk. It works. It's probably not the way it was intended, but this is a playground, right?

[G Tablet Android Development] Canadoc:

[G Tablet Android Development] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
Haven't seen this yet

I have setup Exchange sync of contacts and calendar. Had to reboot in order to get the calendar to actually start syncing, but that's working now and the app hasn't vanished (so far.) Will keep looking for this one.

Camera works for me, I followed the earlier instructions to delete the Calendar.apk from system. The remaining one seems to work, although it's a little sluggish. But I only use the camera to test that feature on this tablet, not something I pay much attention to.

I'm liking this build alot, although from a overall "feel" I would say TNT lite 2.2 might have been a tiny bit more responsive.

[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:

[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
sdcard2 is "kinda" working in my own alpha2 prototype. There's a shuttled service that worked ok with no apps installed, but choked once I started loading it up.

At the moment, I put back the Vega 30 second sleep command and, so far, it seems to work. But it's definitely a dirty hack.
[G Tablet Android Development] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
setup process?

How did you go about setting your exchange account up? I waited until everything else on the tablet seemed to be working then added a corp account using the contact app. I customized my sync settings during this process to exclude email. (Email is already synced to my phone and I don't need another place to read it.) The contacts sync was slow but it seemed to start and run paimlessly. For me calendars took more effort.
[G Tablet Android Development] samielowe:

[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Alpha1? you can just run cwm against the original ZIP - that's what I did and it worked for me.
[G Tablet Android Development] samielowe:
Correct..... It loads Tnt 2.2 everytime....

I unzipped Alpha 1 to the Gtab...

I run CWM and select update.zip

It loads fine and says installing Tnt 2.20

Don't unzip Alpha 1 to the gtab, just copy it directly. Then:

2. choose zip from sdcard

Finish up as with the other flashes.

[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
You have to go into the settings menu in the browser and find something that looks similar to "User Agent". I think it gets named differently in some of the browsers. Set that to desktop, or computer and they will stop preferring mobile sites.

No native CIFS (=SMB =SaMBa =Windows network) that I can make work. Simple file moves can be done with ES File Manager or Astro with it's SMB addon module.

[G Tablet Android Development] amathophobia:
I remember this being said before. The stagefright media engine included in froyo has been known to cause bad streaming audio. If it is enabled in this build (you can check in build.prop) then it maybe the culprit. Just a thought.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
It is. No matter what settings you use with the widget, table has serious wake-up bug.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
That has been an issue with Zpad, stock and TnT roms as well. Just happened to me yesterday with TnT 2.4 (first time with that rom).
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
@anlog, rob_z11, etc.

Well, we all agree that there's a wake-up bug in the kernel where it gets stuck in slow motion, and that it appears to occur in every ROM we have, presumably because they are all using the same kernel. The only way to fix this issue properly is getting at the kernel source code or getting Viewsonic to fix the kernel for us (yeah right).

I'm not sure why, but I saw this problem basically every time ZPad ROM woke up, and I see it only occasionally on Vegan. I know you guys are both reporting that you are still seeing the problem even with Overclock Widget, but I haven't seen the problem a single time in the 3 or 4 days since I started forcing the CPU max to always stay at 1000000 via OC Widget, and I've been sleeping and waking my G Tab a lot. I'll report here if that changes. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Btw, I thought the overclock widget was doing some nasty things to my device, but it was the VEGAn build itself to blame. Or possibly my user data.

I currently have a "test" build that I'm running today -- it's still a hack, but less hacky that the image we have in that we know every file that's been altered from a vanilla Vega system.img. The reason why I wanted to get this working is that, like TnT Lite, all the changes are clearly laid out an we can just drop in new VEGA images as they are created. There's actually a 1.06.5 VEGA firmware right now.

Assuming this thing doesn't blow up on me, I'll talk to gojimi and rothnic to see how we can incorporate this. It really is a major change to the baseline image so there could be good things in it, but there could be some bad things that I haven't found yet.

I have the new Market working, so that's a good thing. But the GB keyboard is still crashing on me - happened in beta 3, too.

Is the sound very low on VEGAn? I'm noticing the sound is much louder on this build, but I'm not sure if its my imagination or not.
[G Tablet Android Development] NMCBR600:
Roebeet, would you like volunteers to help test your new image? I'm game to help test.:D
