I'm looking for instructions on how to install the 'New' Android Market. I'm new to flashing ROMs but I have gotten Clockworkmod installed and used it to flash Vegan beta3 on my G-Tablet. I'm still uncomfortable with how to use clockwork (so many steps!), is there a place I can go to read instructions on how to get this installed? The only instructions I've seen are "Flash from recovery" which came from one of the Nexus threads.

I know how to get into recovery, but I do not know what steps to follow once I get there! Can someone please help! I'm learning....
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
I haven't seen anyone else report that issue. So it's not a common problem with the ROM itself - that leaves the only real possibilities are something screwy in your cache, something screwy in your user data, or that Clockwork Mod screwed up the initial flash.

I'd try reflashing the ROM and clearing cache first. Sometimes if you have a very random issue and nobody else has had it, it's just that clockwork mod screwed up in the flashing process. If that still doesn't fix it, then wipe data again.

Been running beta 3 since it was released and all is well and it is VERY quick. No fc as of yet and I'm putting it through the paces. :-)

Beta 3 has been working great for me so far- I have been using VEGAn as my ROM since Beta 1 and it just keeps getting better.

I have been intermittently having a problem with gradual slowdowns- it is particularly bothersome when trying to type something into a web field as it takes extremely long for whatever I am typing to show up on the form.

Thanks for all the great work!
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Frankie - I believe it has something to do with sleep/wake cycles, i.e. everything is fine until the tablet is asleep for a while then you wake it up. I have observed the same thing. However, it isn't consistently happening. I have woken up my G Tablet after several hours and found it to wake up without an issue and run just as fast as on a fresh boot. I have also had it wake up after several hours and be sluggish.

Since I stuck an overclock widget on one of my screens and set it to min clock speed of 528,000 and max of 1,000,000, the problem has also largely seemed to vanish again. This was my solution to the exact same problem with ZPad ROM. I suspect this is a kernel issue causing the CPU to get stuck at a throttled down speed when the tablet wakes up, though don't take my word on that.

Unfortunately, if it's a kernel issue there is no way to fix it until we get driver/kernel source and can build our own. As far as I know, this problem has been present in every ROM for the G Tablet so far.

I kept reading, "repartition your sdcard." I didn't believe that had anything to do with the new wallpaper not showing up. I didn't think that had anything to do with flash not working even though it was installed. I thought, "what the heck? I have nothing to lose." I went into CW recovery and repartitoned the sdcard to 2GB/256. It took a couple of minutes. I thought I'd just reboot without flashing to watch it fail. I rebooted and everything came up. I lost my data, but everything works that was previously broken. Weird. I have to read and find out more about the partitoning and internal sd/external sd... nice ROM, though. Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] gotwillk:
so...there's no way to mount or dismount the sdcard2 safely? i don't wanna just pop it out. seems unsafe. there's no indication anywhere in Storage to even indicate there's an sdcard2 plugged in. is this just a missing feature for vegan?
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Normally there should be no need to repartition. Seems like there is too much emphasis on that and I agree. In a bad situation, it can sometimes help, put the deivce would have to be hosed real bad before needing.
[G Tablet Android Development] ehunyadi:
Some questions answered:

Keyboard and Mouse Support

Yes, VEGAn-TAB supports an external keyboard and mouse, but it is picky. I have tested three keyboards; only one worked (MS Natural Keyboard). The MS Arc and an old Compaq keyboard did not. All mouses tested worked fine (both wireless and wired).

Problems with acore FC's

1. Wipe cache and reboot. If FC's persist;

2. Wipe data/factory reset and cache. If FC's persist;

3. Wipe data/factory reset and cache and reinstall.

Wallpaper blurry

Some have pointed to applications that can possibly fix this (Wallpaper Set & Save, MultiPicture Live Wallpaper) but I have had limited success with both of these. A bit of experimenting with different wallpapers will yield a satisfactory wallpaper image until this is cleared up at a later time.

Screen resolution in landscape (horizontal) mode

1024 x 600. Remember that if you're making wallpaper, when using the G-Tab in portrait mode (vertically) will make the wallpaper shrink and there will be black bars on top and below the image. Best image size: 1024 x 1024.

Is there a difference between the marketplace that comes with VEGAn-TAB or the new "improved" market?

The only difference is the appearance. In functionality, it is the same. The market hack is still required for the new improved marketplace (and reports are that it often takes more tries to make work than the standard market).

Why do I keep seeing repartitioning as a solution to install problems?

Because Viewsonic didn't partition the G-Tablets in a way that Android likes to live on. By repartitioning, Android feels happier and many issues/problems are resolved.

What is the recommended repartition ratio?

2GB/256MB or 2GB/512MB.

Why won't one of the devs answer my question/post?

Because they:

1. Have day jobs.

2. Are busy coding and fixing the next release of VEGAn-TAB.

3. Have seen your question 23 times already in this thread: the search function is your friend.

4. Are not being paid to read forums and go through 100's of posts, many of which ask the same question (although they do this out of the kindness of their hearts thankfully!!!).

I can't get X to work on my G-Tab. Can you fix it?

Maybe. Maybe not. Currently, VEGAn-TAB is in Beta which means that it's still in testing. While it may be stable and usable for most people, it doesn't mean that it will be completely stable for you. If you have problems, post them and be happy knowing that you're helping the community at-large. Some problems may not be reproducible, however. In that case, it may be a matter of a corrupt install, conflict with previous install, cache or data issue, etc.

Do the dev's accept donations for their work?

Some do; others don't. If you see a donate button on their profile, feel free. If not, they don't accept them.

How to get the stock VEGAn-TAB wallpaper without the letters?

See attached image in 1024 x 1024.
[G Tablet Android Development] gotwillk:
btw, that stock vegan wallpaper is one of the wallpapers from one of the ADW launcher themes, the Sticker theme. there's also a bunch of other colors for it too.

if i knew it was that i would've suggested it a long time ago lol.

also here a bunch of 1024x1024 wallpapers: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/downloads/date/apple_devices/ipad_1024x1024/

still didn't really work that well for me though with the sizing. and its the ipad size btw.

also, Wallpaper Set & Save doesn't work well for me. still get a zoomed in picture, also don't like the UI. MultiPicture Live Wallpaper is much better. works almost perfect.

Sorry for my newb question, but I just came over from tnt lite 2.2 and I wiped cache and factory reset, I installed Beta 3 of this Rom and the new Market, with no problems but I cant get flash to work on this Rom, I tried the Flash installer I used on tnt and no go, I can't seem to find a flash file to use and I see others posting that it works, so maybe I am doing something wrong, I will be greatful for any help that I can get. Thanks

Beats CM6.1 Beta 4 and TNT Lite 2.x Hands Down

I've found in this ROM everything I wanted from an Android tablet. The G-Tablet is a hit in my household. None of my kids want any iPad anymore... Great work guys and where can I donate? :-)
[G Tablet Android Development] Longsh0t:
Are external SD cards working for everyone to the point of connecting via USB and both internal and external memory is accessible through windows?

While I can access my external card via Astro File Manager, I don't see the card in Settings > SD Card and Phone Storage. I only see SD Card (which I assume is the internal storage and Internal Device Storage (which I guess is supposed to be the Application storage).
[G Tablet Android Development] Longsh0t:
Also my Market stopped working so I reapplied the fix. When I rebooted, I was back on the old Market.
[G Tablet Android Development] zerozed99:
If the devs refuse to take donations, perhaps they can suggest a charity seeing that it is the holiday season. Obviously a lot of people are wanting to show their appreciation for the hard work the devs have been putting in....just an idea.
[G Tablet Android Development] LRiley:
search for GLES optimized flash
[G Tablet Android Development] anlog:
You can partition the SD card at 4GB if you want, but you MUST have 256MB+ swap or you will get installation errors. 2GB/256MB is the optimal setting.
[G Tablet Android Development] revlis8989:
while install the new market and getting "not enough space" error!

Format your SD card. Format it at 2GB/256MB then I got full market could be download

thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I've also noticed slowdowns with Flash. I think it turns into a runaway process and just makes things run progressively slower. When I disable plugins with Dolphin (not "on demand", but completely disabled), things don't ever really slow down.

I have been using 0 for a swap from the beginning and do not have errors. I do not think Android uses the swap partition yet. At least that is what the smarter folks around here have said previously.

Battery meter

Does anyone have a true fix for the battery percentage issue? My tab ran out of battery last night showing 46% (it was stuck on 100% for a LONG time). It briefly popped up the "please connect your charger" message that normally comes up between 10-20%, then died. I had previously reset the battery stats with CW when the battery was fully charged, but apparently that didn't do the trick. So, I tried resetting the battery stats when the battery was totally dead, and will test again today.

Any suggestions???
[G Tablet Android Development] anlog:
Strange... Are you set to 2GB for the sys partition?
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
Yes. Back when Bekit first put out clockwork for the Gtab it wouldn't allow you to format any higher than 1gb. He later changed that so you could go all the way to 4gb. We were told back then that Android does not use the swap partition. I have not ever used anything but 2gb, and 0 for a swap since with no issues.

I still believe most of the issues people see are caused by not clearing data, and cache first. I have had to reformat my SD twice since I had this thing. Once way back in the beginning when flashing from TnT to Zpad. And once after using NVflash to restore back to stock.
[G Tablet Android Development] ehunyadi:
I also believe this to be the case. It has fixed errors for me more times than anything else.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
So far, so good. :)

Restored all my apps manually with Titanium Backup instead of restoring the whole user partition.

I noticed your new build signature in build.prop, which means after applying Market fix we immediately get all the good stuff, no editing build.prop needed.

Everything is as smooth as butter on this build so far. Quadrant score 2350 on first run.

Wifi connects faster than it did with ZPad 2.2, I notice. Not sure why that is, but it's nice.

My movies play nice and smooth. YouTube is nice and smooth, even watching Ducatis and Ferraris racing each other. :)

Default launcher configuration is very nice. Don't even need to install LauncherPro, everything is awesome as is.

Angry birds runs, which means games probabg

Contacts and calendar all syncing with Google, no issues there.

Soft buttons in top bar are really nice coming from ZPad. Especially for use in darker rooms when you can't see the unlit side buttons.

Question 1: Any way to customize the icons on the bottom of the launcher? For example, the Mail icon goes to the Mail app. For people like me who prefer K-9mail, no obvious way to re-direct it (nor for people who use the GMail app).

Issue 1: In addition to the SSL issue you noticed (force closes when it tries to load an https site on xScope, I'm guessing on Browser too), there seem to be a few other browser glitches. For example, using either Browser or xScope, if I browse to Amazon.com in Desktop User Agent mode (as opposed to Android/Mobile User Agent) the browser crashes just as it finishes rendering the page. That's just what I've found so far. These are obviously signs of some issues with the browser lib/binary files for this ROM. Maybe we can replace them with the versions from the ZPad ROM?

Issue 2: Camera application force closes on start. Not a big deal, since I don't really use it, but just reporting since I know some people do. Not sure if this is just a camera app issue or if the camera is not functioning at all, as with the earlier performance packs (I'm guessing the latter).

Very Minor Issue 3: I seemed to manage to get 1 hard-lockup of my G Tablet in TV.com. Video was playing, then just locked up totally. Had to force off and reboot. On a positive note, it only happened once, and everything was fine after reboot. So assuming it was just a one off application issue.
[G Tablet Android Development] LRiley:
downloading now!!
[G Tablet Android Development] mb2k:
Wow, just.... wow. Just installed and it looks great.

My observations (realizing this is beta, just trying to provide some feedback):

camera works fine here. Both still and video, course the video playback crashed when playing back using the stock player

lost Swype, not sure if I can reinstall. Haven't tried yet. The updated keyboard is sweet though.

Does indeed crash on SSL and sorta continues crashing after that. Had to restart browser a few times to get it to browse other pages.

had one instance of keyboard staying on screen even after the dialog box was no longer in focus.

Had a force close in setting when checking out the "G-sensor link"

Going thru other apps now, but so far so good. AB working fine.

Again, my only real complaint is that there ain't no "donate" button:D

BTW, I just used "install zip from sdcard" in CWM. I was currently running tnt lite 2.2.0
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
SDCARD2 doesn't work on reboot, either. You can either eject / reinsert or "vold", at a command prompt, as root.

I'm very close to using this as my day-to-day. If we can pin down VOLD and SSL, I'd say we have a beta1 versus an alpha. Btw, many MANY thanks to rothnic and gojimi who have been working heavily on this build!!
[G Tablet Android Development] LRiley:
good so far no problems yet

camera is fine

also using gingerbread keyboard

have yet to have any force closes

-g sensor settings does force close
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Hmmm, any ideas on why I am the only one with a camera app that is force closing? I've rebooted several times and still seems to be occurring. I did a data wipe before installing, of course, along with a cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe, and everything else matches up with others experiences.

I'm going to backup in Clockword Mod, wipe everything and reinstall again, but I have no reason right now to think the result will be any different the second time around...

EDIT: I re-wiped everything, re-flashed ROM, and now Camera app is running without force closing. I'll restore my other apps, and see if that continues to be the case. Looks like it was just a glitch with my first flash.

EDIT 2: Okay, I've identified the cause of the force close of Camera. Camera works fine at first, but after I run the Market Fix, camera starts Force Closing.... Weird, right?

EDIT 3: I reflashed ZIP in CWM without wiping user data, and now Camera is working again, and my Market is still fixed. So something from the Market fix (didn't use Titanium backup - just cleared cache on Market, force stopped, cleared data on Google Services, force stopped, errored out Market app, and rebooted) seemed to screw with the Camera app. But everything working fine for me now.
[G Tablet Android Development] ARM_IT:
Camera and video work fine.

I have a wireless keyboard and mouse that also work.

Have firefox installed, and use it as my browser. Works perfectly.

Flash

Is Flash working properly with this new build? How would you compare the speed to TnT build? Do the soft keys show when in a program, or are they only visible on demand?
[G Tablet Android Development] TheNinjaMan:
Hello - By Video working fine do you mean both HD and SD using the stock videoplayer?

Does your Firefox work 'perfectly' when browsing to SSL sites.

[G Tablet Android Development] realsol:
Everything works great. Except. For SSL. How do you change the app buttons on the bottom? Also, isthere away to have the home screen rotate? I like to have the tablet upsidedown when its on my lap since the viewing angle is better.
[G Tablet Android Development] gojimi:
ISSUES

Everyone who is flashing this ROM should make sure when they are restoring apps with Titanium or other apps that they are not restoring a stock Camera app nor a stock gallery app that may have been backed up from previous ROMS. The Camera app for this rom has been extensively hacked by myself to make it compatible with both the rom and our tablet.

The Gallery is the latest gallery from CM6.1 beta4 which fixes FC and Accel. issues.

EDIT: Also we just figured out that there are two camera.apks in system/app. Delete the one that is Capitalized "Camera.apk" not the lowercased one... this will be fixed in the next build.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
I'm not certain of much in life, but I know I didn't restore the Camera app in Titanium Backup - I was extremely careful to only restore user apps one at a time.

The only thing I can think of is that the Google Services reset from Market Fix caused something to get restored from my Google account that screwed up the camera app.
[G Tablet Android Development] Canadoc:
Some questions here.

What is the rock keyboard as I seem to have the same one as in the tntlite 2.2

where is the rock videoplayer? When I toto a site that has. Videofile to play that is not flash I get a crash referring to the YouTube app.

Can you modify what apps are on the dock and or the launchbar?
[G Tablet Android Development] markgolly:
No, you need to use clockworkmod to flash. However, robeet et. al. may change that in the next build (but don't hold your breath...).
[G Tablet Android Development] ARM_IT:
By video, I meant the video recorder. I don't have any hd videos on my tablet, do have sd which plays fine using ES video Player, or "Movies". If i try and run it under "Video Player" i get a FC.

I did some more testing and the only issue's I’ve found with Firefox, is that the current beta does not allow for Flash. There is a plug-in called phoney (under experimental) that can be used to change the type of device it is. By default it is registered as a mobile device.
[G Tablet Android Development] ehunyadi:
This is all very exciting to read. I wish I didn't have meetings all afternoon... I'm ready to install this release but can't just yet!!!

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

I'm interested in seeing if the Galaxy Tab email client will work on VEGAn.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
I doubt it will run, but once there is a stable release, that is something I plan on taking on. Specifically, that is why I wanted us to all work on a joint ROM, so we aren't splitting efforts so badly.

I have a deodexed Galaxy Tab build ready for me to start diving into.

Problems with market fix?

Strange, I can usually do the market fix without needing titanium back, just by working through the settings app. However, that is not working for me with this alpha build. And downloading titanium backup through the browser on the tablet is no go, when I follow a google search link to the web site in the browser, it crashes.

I'm not giving up, though, this is a great start and I love having my tablet with close to the "real" Froyo experience, full use of settings, etc. Keep up the good work, all!

While I love this Rom, I really need SSL. Once. Fixed I will give it another shot.
[G Tablet Android Development] anlog:
Yea it's hard to say what combination of factors is causing the Market issue. In my experience, reformatting to 2GB/256MB fixes it. Maybe it's just that the system wants a 2GB sys partition?

I thought you're supposed to reset battery stats when the battery is fully charged. I may be mistaken, but I thought I read that somewhere previously within this monster of a thread.
[G Tablet Android Development] anlog:
It was me that suggested resetting when the battery was fully charged because I had seen that elsewhere in a different thread (I think the TnT Lite thread). For me, that didn't fix the issue. So today I'm testing the meter after resetting while the battery is dead (or close to dead).
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
I have seen that also but it also said to reset after fully charged with the tablet "still" plugged in. Don't know if that really matters but it might..
[G Tablet Android Development] zerozed99:
For what it's worth, battery polling is often poorly implemented; the HTC Evo had notoriously bad problems reporting the battery drain. Although I'm hesitant to get into a discussion about battery issues in this thread, I'd suggest grabbing a program like Juice Plotter.

[G Tablet Android Development] anlog:
Yea that's the problem. It'll stay at 100% for a long time, then start to drop. Your battery will be completely dead and the device will shut off when the meter reads 40-50%.
