Rooting will still allow you to get all VS updates. Same with doing the Market install.

Flashing a ROM can be scary, especially if you have lots of stuff on your tablet. I found that investing in Titanium Backup (requires root) was a great idea. I do a full backup every time I flash my ROM and restore apps and data afterwards; I have never lost data nor settings.

If you decide to flash TnT Lite or VEGAn (which is coming along nicely and really brings the tablet to life IMO), there are not only many posts but many friendly folks who are here to help you out.

I am very happy with my G Tablet and this community has been immeasurably helpful in making it so useful.

Exactly we all start as newbies, and it's places like this that are great help.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Reggie777:
Good News, everyone. I used z4root, and was able to root my gTab. :D I also was able to install Launcher Pro, so that now when I turn it on, I get the option of going to the old familiar Android layout as on my Droid. Thanks for the encouragement from you'all. :cool: The sky did not fall. Yeah!

I do have some questions, though.

1. If I accidentally load in the TapnTap home screen, I cannot get back to the launcher pro. I cannot find it on the tablet to run it. I can find the apk and it offers to install it again. So, can anyone tell me where it is hidden?

2. I downloaded the vendors apk in an attempt to get the old android market place as on my phone. But it will not install. I am sure I am doing something wrong.

3. There are some icons to the right, the web, messages, and the phone. Is there a way to remove the ones that do not work? Only the web works. I understand that the phone would not, and even the messages. But how can I remove them?

Again, thanks for the moral support and encouragement. I still find the structure of the tablet confusing. Internal SD, external SD, root, etc. Anyone out there with the technical know how could make quite a few dollars by writing a book explaining the wonders, procedures, and pitfalls of our new tablet.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wasserkapf:
On my tablet, just hitting the Home icon in the upper-right corner will do that. It is the second one from the top, on the bezel of the screen.

That is the second thing on my list of tweaks. You need to download and install several files. Please follow the instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=827209

You should be able to drop a different icon, from the main screen 'Desktop' on top of it, essentially replacing it. To get different icons on the main screen, open the app drawer, and tap and hold an icon. To remove it from the main screen, tap and hold, and move it to the trash can on the right.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Reggie777:
I got as far as downloading the zip file, unzipping it. But I am not sure what "mount as R/W" means. I am also not up on the structure of the storage of the Gtablet, and my computer sees .android_secure, Android, Backgrounds, backups, DCIM, download, and Lost.Dir. As a result, I am not sure where to copy the new files to. I moved the unzipped file to the download folder on the tablet. But I am not sure where to go from here. Being a newbie bites. :confused:
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wasserkapf:
I thought that the instructions were as clear as anyone could make them.

That means to use a file manager that supports root browsing. The stock one doesn't, so you will need to install one. The link in the original post will get you the AndRootFile app, that should work. I purchased RootExplorer from the Android Market, so that is what I use. It has a "Mount R/W" button at the top, and I assume AndRootFile has something similar.

Oh, and root is to Unix/Linux/Android that Administrator is to Windows. You need root permissions to make system changes.

Once you have mounted it in R/W mode, copy the files to the folders that it says to. When done, don't forget to re-mount it in R/O mode before exiting.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Reggie777:
My bad. I had used z4root to do the rooting.:( I'll try it with the one you suggested. Thanks.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wasserkapf:
Actually z4root should work for rooting the tablet. But it isn't a file browser with root access. That is where the other apps come into play.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Reggie777:
OK. Here is my adventure so far. I got AndRootFile, and installed it. It is now working. But when I try to copy a file to another location, it does not want to copy the file. features.xml is an example of one that it shows the check box for copying, but when I get to the destination, there is nothing to paste. Frustrating. I also tried Rootexplorer, and have the same result. Now it looks as if the other new file in the new permissions folder copies, since it says it exists and do I want to overwrite. I said yes. But the second file, features does not show up even after I try to paste it. The good news is that I am figuring out the structure of the Beast, and so can move around much easier with AndRootFile, and RootExplorer. Thanks for your ongoing patience, and support.:o
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wasserkapf:
It doesn't sound as if you are first mounting the file system in R/W (Read/Write) mode. And when finished, make sure you mount it back into R/O (Read/Only) mode before exiting.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Reggie777:
You are right. I get the error message that file cannot be pasted because "file system is read only". However I did press the remount as R/W button, when I started RootExplorer, and the button now shows remount as R/O. So it looks as if I am in the read/write mode. But I would guess that the remounting as R/W did not "take". I will keep trying. I am using RootExplorer. When I try AndRootFile, I do not get any option to mount as R/W or R/O but maybe that is just due to my unfamiliarity with it. :rolleyes:
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Reggie777:
WHEW! Done. Thank you, Thank you, Wasserkapf! :cool: I am online with Market. Your instructions were correct. It was my inexperience that caused my problems. I have learned that the back arrow not only takes you to the previous screen, it also cancels out your actions on the screen you were coming from. So, when choosing a file to copy, you need to get to the destination folder using the Parent Folder button, and not the back button. Duh! Silly me.

Thanks to your kind help, I am now enjoying my tablet even more than before. ::D
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wasserkapf:
That's good to hear!

I was only relaying what I learned from others, and a little bit of my own experience.

I didn't know this. I guess I was just doing it correctly by accident, and that is also the way I do it in Linux. Thanks for the info.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Reggie777:
I noticed that some of the apps I have on my Droid are not in the marketplace. I don't mean to be greedy... but is there a way to get all the apps to be available to my tablet? Or are they missing because they are not compatible? I know, I know, I am being ungrateful. :o A few days ago I had no access to the Market. But hey, I'm just asking. :D
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wasserkapf:
Did you do the Market fix? #3 in my list of tweaks. That should cause more of the apps to show in market.

You really need to do ALL of the tweaks first, before asking for more assistance.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Over on the DZ side, there are quite a few different stock ROMs for different carriers/continents/etc.

We seem to be missing quite a few of the stock ROMs in PC10IMG or RUU form, unfortunately.

I was thinking that there must surely be a way to construct a PC10IMG file from a brand-new or reset-to-factory phone. I've done some searching but can't find anything relevant to the G2/DZ.

Looking at a PC10IMG it seems to contain the following :

android-info.txt (just a text file)

boot.img

dzdata.img

hboot.nb0

radio.img

rcdata.img (very small file)

recovery.img

splash1.nb0

splash2.nb0

system.img

tp_atmel224_20aa.img

tp_atmelc12_20aa.img

userdata.img

Now it's pretty obvious what a lot of these are. It's only really those two "tp" images that I can't guess.

Does anyone know if it's a simple job just to "dd" the appropriate partitions off a phone to make one of these PC10IMG files ? I've posted up on the DZ forums too on this, but wanted to reach a wider audience by posting here.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
rcdata.img is also text. I would guess that it controls some of the radio properties.

QCT_UMTS_RADIO_VER=1
DisH=2
AGPSNVSetting=1
EnDTM=0
MSCMode=10
HSDPACat=10
HSUPACat=6
QCT_UMTS_RADIO_END=1

The tp files seem like some sort of digital key to me. I bet they are different on the DZ stock roms.

I know the boot.img recovery.imgs get put together differently than the system. http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

unyaffs unpacks the system- that might be a hint on how to put it together. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4474956#post4474956 ... if only there were a way to make yaffs...???
[Continuum Android Development] Whoareyou:
So I was wondering, does anybody have the stock ROM, is it Odin, or in normal update.zip format, I'm wanting to port it, seeing as how it have an HVGA display (Right?)
[Continuum Android Development] Weudel:
So, all I can find is where Samsung released the source code. It's available at:

http://opensource.samsung.com/

Click on the Mobile tab and look for SCH-i400 vzw.

I'm not a dev myself, so I'm not sure how much that will help. It's a .zip, but I'm not sure if it would be flashable.
[Continuum Android Development] dfgged:
The Samsung Continuum doesn't have an HVGA screen. It has a WVGA screen, just like all the other Galaxy S phones.

I just checked the whole file over, and from what I know of ROM making, this is not a ROM. It looks more like a kit to start, but don't quote me on that. I only have a very very limited knowledge, and that was from when I had a Droid1.
[Continuum Android Development] Weudel:
That's what I thought, but it'll be the place to start for any devs who want to jump on this grenade.
[Continuum Android Development] Whoareyou:
I just figured since the screen was 3.4 inches that it was HVGA
[Continuum Android Development] Weudel:
Nope, same resolution as the Fascinate, but on a smaller screen... Looks fantastic btw.
[Continuum Android Development] rapidbeats:

Hello to all. I have got one question. Has anyone been able to root the continuum? I have tried using z4root temp option but no luck.

I do hope I'm in the right section. I figured this would be the best place since it's the developers who would most likely be able to assist me with my request.

I'm looking to play around with learning some basic ROM modding (for personal use, not to release anything publicly) and would like to start with a clean copy of JJ4. I can't find it anywhere. I searched for a solid half hour on XDA and google. The closest I've found is the optimized JJ4 ROM that has been released here on XDA. I was wondering if anyone might have a link to either an ODIN or Clockwork version of the ROM. Thanks!

[Nexus One General] Fresh & Minty:
I've had my Nexus One since April, and right now after seeing the new Nexus S (which is some-what disappointing in terms of upgraded hardware) I've decided it's time to move on. I'd like to sell before the Nexus S comes out since I believe the price of the Nexus One will decrease. I'm currently considering the following: G2, Nexus S, Captivate, Galaxy S i9000, and Mytouch 4G. The problem I'm having is deciding, see I would really love to have a front facing camera which would come in handy for me but, the phones that offer it don't work with AT&T 3G (except the i9000). So, I would like to get a captivate or i9000, but I'm not really fond of the i9000's design nor either's Touchwiz & Samsung's updates. I would really love a G2, since I could easily sell my Nexus and buy one with money to spare in some occasions and it's a very attractive device with great build quality (except for that hinge issue), but again, no AT&T 3G and no FFC. The Mytouch has the FFC, and is a nice phone and all but probably the ugliest thing EVER in my opinion. The Nexus S has everything I want (except for AT&T 3g) but, I would probably have to shell out $100-$200 to get it. So, what I need is advice. If you were in my situation, which would you choose? Thanks! :D

[Nexus One General] rault18:
if i was in your situation i would not sell for a couple reasons

u will get STRESSED going back to edge. i mean its ridiculously slow coming for a 3g one

In a couple months they will be releasing some kick ass phones..wait patiently ..regardless the n1 is already depreciated

You will be trading one of the most customizables phones for some that you are not sure if it ll get the same support

IF you sign up for tmobile you buy one g2 and get 1 free (just got an email about that)

[Nexus One General] stfwayne:
Went from a Nexus to a G2 then back to a Nexus to make some extra cash to get rid of the keyboard.

Currently I traded my Nexus for a new Mytouch 4G.

It is a very fast phone, solid build, decent camera, and its 4G, not to mention it has some nice novelties like front facing camera and a hard button for the camera and 720p recording out of the box.

Alot of people complain about the UI but i havent seen much slowdown or problems with it. It's a pleasure to use and i have yet to remove the battery bc it froze.
[Nexus One General] tameracingdriver:
I went from a Galaxy S to the N1.

The screen is definitely a BIG step up from the N1, both in responsiveness and quality.

The phone itself though, frustrating. Good hardware potentially but crippled by bad implementation. Out of the box they are laggy and unstable. The GPS is basically useless for anything other than telling you where you are at that point. Start moving about, and its gone. Then its the going into a coma for no apparent reason.

The N1 is probably just about a more dependable device. Not sure I'd go for the SGS over an N1.
[Nexus One General] worker1:
I would try to get a dual core phone with vanilla android. So I recommend that you wait.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
my advice is it sucks but you have to just wait for an ATT 3G version to come out. just wait for a nexus S with att 3g is your only choice. the nexus one is still awesome enough to ride it out for a bit longer.
[Nexus One General] Fresh & Minty:
Well, see im stuck in a dilemma. I can either a. sell my nexus one on eBay right now for $450 (offer I just got) and add $for a Nexus S OR b. wait it out. The only thing i'm afraid of is that the nexus's value goes down and when NS comes out everyones gonna be selling and their gonna be a dime a dozen....

SO, what do you guys think I should do? I have until tomorrow to decide to sell...
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Personal finances are different for everyone. If U need the bread now for an upgrade, then sell at the best price.
[Nexus One General] Kiserai:
I say wait it out. The Nexus one is going to get Gingerbread soon and the value wont depreciate as fast as you're afraid it will. In a couple of months it will be on a very small list of phones running Gingerbread and people will be willing to pay top dollar for it.

I'm in the same boat. I can upgrade right now but there's nothing on AT&T compelling enough to make me switch. Hopefully CES will give me something to look forward to. That LG Star is actually looking surprisingly good, as is the Olympus, and I definitely want Tegra2 on my next phone.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Mammon88:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

..::Start-Up script Explanation::..

# Remount all partitions with noatime

atime is a setting where the filesystem updates the access time of a file. This creates a write-after-every-read which slows things down. By default all partitions are mounted with relatime, which is an optimized version of atime. noatime is the fastest, and afaik we don't need atime.

# Tweak cfq io scheduler

Tweaked settings of the disk io scheduler more for flash memory. Defaults are optimized for spinning harddisks. Lowered the idle wait, re-enable the low latency mode of cfq, removed the penalty for back-seeks and explicitly tell the kernel the storage is not a spinning disk.

# Tweak kernel VM management

Set tendency of kernel to swap to minimum, since we don't use swap anyway.

Lower the amount of unwritten write cache to reduce lags when a huge write is required.

Increase tendency of kernel to keep block-cache to help with slower RFS filesystem.

Increase minimum free memory, in theory this should make the kernel less likely to suddenly run out of memory.

# Tweak kernel scheduler

Make the task scheduler more 'fair' when multiple tasks are running. This has a huge effect on UI and App responsiveness. These values (less aggressive settings) are 20% of the Linux defaults, and about half of the Android defaults.
