The Viewsonic is basicly a rebadged Malata Zpad, anyone know if the custom roms for the gTablet will work with the Malata Zpad?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
They should be interchangable on the 512MB RAM v1 Malata devices. But I heard that the v2 (1GB RAM) has a different partition structure and might have issues.

The zPad firmware, for example, works without modification on the Gtablet as it's the exact same hardware. Rothnic cleans it up and removes some unneeded things in his zPad Clean mod, so its more palatable for those of us in the States.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eviltuna:
I hope thats not the case with the 1GB Zpad as I've been able to get a deal on it $420US shipped. Might have to cancel the order.

Would repartitioning work?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rothnic:
I've been told that it does work, however you will only have access to 512MB of ram. One thing I would like to try is modifying the boot.img of TnT to support the extra 512MB. I know some of the zpad guys are interested in this.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fromnewyork:
Yes, I just recently recieved my Malata Zpad T2 with the 1gig ram.

I flashed mine using the Viewsonic Gtablet instruction. Firstly Clockworkmod V 08

and TNT lite 4.1.0 released today Jan 13th / 11 and It works flawlessly. Everything works perfect. I been tinkering with it for like 8 hours now, and cant find anything wrong. Extremely stable. And for the record, yes, the whole 1gig of Ram is used, not just the 512mb in above questioning. It is extremely fast, and solid.. If your wonderering whether to do it or not on your Zpad,... I would say yes do it.

This is where i got all the files and instruction i needed.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~BAM~:
i wonder if that means we could theoretically open up the gtab and upgrade the ram to 1Gb?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fromnewyork:
good question, I bet you could...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpowr82:
In the teardown thread it was said that the ram is actually soldered onto the board so don't think it would be as simple as popping out a memory module and seating another like on a PC. I have no idea for sure because I'm not a hardware saavy cat, but if someone does figure it out there is no doubt in my mind that'll it'll be someone from this board
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamtutu:
Hi.

Congrat on new tab. How about the screen? Its view angle look bad like gtab?

Thanks
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Old One:
I am a hardware guy and I can tell you that the ram is soldered onto the board but there are solder point for more chips so it would be possible but not something most people would be able to do.

Edit: Looking at the Malata ZPad I'd bet it's the same board with the missing things form the G-tab included
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamtutu:
It missing bluetooth module.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fromnewyork:
I noticed with mine (zpad) that its viewed best when viewed up and down. (meaning, buttons are on bottom, zpad logo is to left, webcam on it is to right). However you can view it at any rotation of course. If I'm viewing it with the zpad logo on the bottom, and the buttons are on the right, it seems I pretty much have to look at it straight on. I believe that must be simular to what you mean or have experienced with the gtablet.

Nevertheless, its still very very good, and quite viewable. Based on the few other tablets I bought previous, this one really is bar none the best. Market is full and working, flash works, 3-d games work, movies are crisp, pictures are crisp. And did I mention the sound? WOW!

Does Malata Zpad T2 come with 3g module as an option?

Some places I find it for sale with no 3g and some other state with 3g.

GingerBread on Malata Zpad T2

Dear guys

I'm in trouble installing Gingerbread on my Malata Zpad T2 :(

All Froyo ROM's I'm able to flash but I'm unlucky installing Gingerbread on this device.

I tried

- Cyanogenmod (bittrix-beta-06.43f-gb.zip)

- Vanilla GB ROM (gtab_full_vanilla_system_2010_11_09.zip / update-aosp-Beta2-Harmony-signed.zip)

I'm using CWM V 0.8 and CWM V3.0.0.6 always with same results.

First I wiped Data/Factory Reset / Cache Partition / dalvik Cache

installed the FW via install zip from sdcard

everything works well.

It's flashing all files and indicates FW successfully installed ;)

Please reboot

Rebooting this device it starts and I can see the malata sign with Tegra II or Nvidia Tegra 2 logo.

Thats all?? :confused:

I also tried to install other Gingerbread kernel's but with the same result.

Did anybody has an idea what's going wrong and how to install Gingerbread to this Malata Zpad T2

Thanx in advance :cool:
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vo2ka:
Yes it's same for me ! The last rom's working on my tab is vegan tab rom 5.11 !

If you find a solution, thanks to tell us ;)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRobert:
any updates here :-)?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] operatorx59:
yes i have installed the gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.1.user.final.zip and works on zpad BUT with exception of 3G modem ( if you have it ).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanegd01:
Any idea why it doesn't work. It would be annoying not to have 3G
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakin.ro:
The Malata Z-Pad T2 needs a Kernel with support for it, otherwise you can use the same ROMs.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] ZduneX25:
UPDATE:

OLD ONE:

New features:

- CPU clock 600Mz is fixed what means no problems with low productivity since now.

- Улучшена стабильность разгона. - don't understand ;p

- Available frequencies: 729, 748, 768, 806, 825, 864, 880, 892, 900.

Users with kernel 0.2.2, don't have to put Update.zip.

PS. it won't work on 2.2, will be ported soon.

Installation:

1st: flash with boot.img in fastboot mode

2nd: apply update.zip via recovery

3th: download SetCPU from Market

Done

GT540 Kernel 2.6.29 v0.3

Changes from 0.2.2 is not much, but they are:

- Fixed 600MHz, now lost productivity, no:)

- Improved stability of the overclock.

- Changed the table of frequencies: 729, 748, 768, 806, 825, 864, 880, 892, 900.

For those who have been found 0.2.2, Update.zip not necessarily put.

P.s with 2.2 is not compatible! For version 2.2 will be a little later.

It won't change anything beyond cpu frequency (if you will set new). And works good on Quarx's black ROM.

Just make a nandroid backup before.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] maxgreece:
Sorry - but where is it copied to? I cannot download from the Russian site and can't register there either as the confirmation code you need to type in is in Russian.

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] badpunk:
Hey, can anyone help me here, what does this mean:

1st: flash with boot.img in fastboot mode

2nd: apply update.zip via recovery

how do I go about doing the above?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] maxgreece:
In order to do this you must have fastboot and the clockwork mod installed on your phone.

You will also need to have the fastboot.exe command in the path on your computer - or in the same directory as you have the boot.img file.

The first step is to copy the file update.zip into the root directory of your SD card. Do not put it in sub-directory as recovery need to find it.

Once you have done that switch off your phone and boot it into fastboot mode (press the power and camera buttons together AND KEEP THEM PRESSED until the LG logo disappears and you have a blank screen.

Then connect the phone to the computer via usb and open up a command prompt. Change directory to the one where you have the boot.img file. For me, for example, I have mine in a directory android22 on the desktop. Therefore I type cd \desktop\android22

Once in that directory type directly at the command prompt:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

All being well that will update the boot file on the phone. Now disconnect the phone and remove the battery and replace the battery.

Now restart the phone in pressing power and home KEEPING THEM PRESSED AGAIN until you enter the recovery menu. Use the down volume button to move to the item you want (install update.zip) and select it. Apparently some people select with the call button. For some reason mine selects with the camera button. One of the 2 should work for you.

Once the update is confirmed choose the first item from the menu to reboot your device. All being well you now have the latest version of the Kernel installed.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Lacokako:
What Update.zip? :(
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] maxgreece:
If you are installing on 2.1 it is in the file you have downloaded from the first post of this thread. If you are installing on 2.2 there is no update.zip as it is included in the image.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] badpunk:
Thanks for your help! How do i go about installing the clockwork mod? Is this it?:

So to install the clockwork mod, I would need to reflash my phone with a new rom? Is it possible to use the stock rom by LG?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] maxgreece:
No you cannot use the stock ROM. You must use either the Russian modified one or the Black ROM.

Actually if your phone doesn't have the fastboot ROM you are going to have to flash it twice - or 3 times if you want the Black. Its a pain - but it should be something you only have to do once (I have done it twice - but it was much easier the second time around).

The good news is that the Black ROM is actually very stable.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] badpunk:
Wow, thanks for your help!

I've done everything else, install fastboot and the clockwork mod, but I can't seem to download Kernel_v0.3.1.7z from filesonic. No idea why, even though i've used filesonic before.

Could you upload the latest kernel somewhere else?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] :
Will this erase my system?

Joost
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] :
I have just updated to this Kernel and it doesn't erase any of the phone settings/ apps. Do a backup first though in clockwork.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] :
Setcpu settings

I have just insalled this updated Kernel from Quarx (thnks) ;)

Lost WiFi

After using update.zip then reboot, i lost WiFi. If i tries to turn on, Wifi currently unavailable message shows. After restored previous backup, WiFi works again.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] m1st3r1:
That's weird. It says that update.zip fix the wifi.it happened for me too when i installed kernel v0.2. After installation v0.2, everytime i turn on wifi, my phone restart itself. Update.zip fix this. And u dont need to apply another update.zip if u have applied it b4.

For oc, i use 787 max, 320 min with ondemand setting
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] kaszast:
Just to clean things up. I have modified (fastboot, clockwork recv.) ROM. I downloaded Kernel 0.3.1 for 2.1. and i use the update.zip method. Not the fastboot method because they are identical. Fastboot or update.zip, right? (Sry for bad english)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] m1st3r1:
update.zip . is a fix for wifi. apply it from recovery (clockwork or amonra)

when u're upgrading the kernel, use fastboot..

"fastboot flash boot boot.img" or something like that.

Thanks, it works now...

Which option should you select within ClockWorkMod for the recovery?

There isn't a GT540 listed, should we use other device?

EDIT:

Hello

after flashing the "Kenrel 1.2 (new) For 2.2.1" on the "LG GT540 - OpenSwift Project - (OS 2.2.1), by ankuch & Quarx" Rom I have Problem with the WiFi.

When I take the WiFi On the phone makes a reboot.

How can I fix this problem?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] namco:
I have the same problem. You can fix it by installing the "update.zip" file, found on the first post, through recovery mode.

My problem is that i cannot access recovery mode - Even though i can flash the partition, i cannot access it because when i press HOME+POWER from poweroff state, the phone just boots into a black screen not showing any options :(

Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the files inside UPDATE.ZIP through any other way without using recovery mode? Like FTP or SSH or something into the phone?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Upperdeluxe:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatle405:
So I'm getting the itch to get a new phone. I've currently got a Cliq that I've rooted and customized as I like it so I don't NEED a new phone. I just want one.

I'm with T-Mobile and my wife just recently got the Vibrant. In messing around with it, I think that without the Touch wiz, I'd be really happy with it. Which leads me to the Nexus S. The only reservation I have about the Nexus is the lack of SD card since I carry a ton of music with me for flights. It's not a deal breaker by any means, but it does make me pause.

Does anyone know of any new phones that may be coming out within the next 3-4 months that may be better than the Nexus S?

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pittphan:
There is always something better around the corner...

But the main advantage to getting a stock Google Phone is that you will get OS updates much faster then everyone else with android skinned devices.
