Very strange. I have downloaded it from the market and it works perfectly.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jaes45:
i know and it is very annoying

However i have got it now and thank you all for your help
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jaes45:
APK? I cannot find this app at all in the market
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chile1010:
h t t p://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/downloads/detail?name=MarketEnabler_v3.1.1.2.apk

You need root access to use the app. Good luck!

[G Tablet General] beepoo83:
Hey guys,

I got my g tablet yesterday at sears.

I really interested to get the vegan mod it looks very cool. I'm new on these stuffs.

as you know VS just released a new update and I did update my device.

my questions are:

1-if I flash my g tablet with vegan or TnT 2.2 mods am I able to re flash my g tablet to the stock UI again? for example if VC release new update am I able to go back to the stock mod and update my device with this update?

2- after flashing g tablet with vegan or TnT 2.2 do I need to root the device to be able to access to full system file of it will be already rooted after flash it with any of vegan or TnT 2.2?

Thank you
[G Tablet General] The Ringmaster:
if you install a new rom:

1. you will not want to go back to stock TapNTap provided by ViewSonic

2. You will not need to root your device, as the custom roms are already rooted
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Actually, you can go back to stock Tap N Tap, using nvflash. See this post from Roebeet: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950

However, the updates from Viewsonic will always get torn down by Roebeet, Rothnic and other developers here and will be repackaged as a TNT Lite build within 24 hours of Viewsonic's release, so there's not much of a reason to go back to stock, especially when TNT Lite is basically superior in every way (at least, most of us find it so).
[G Tablet General] beepoo83:
Thank you for reply. so if I use the custom rom will be able to get VS updates without re flash it to stock?
[G Tablet General] manikin13:
No you will not be able to get the VS updates as that is some of the removed sections in the Lite version. The reason was posted. The update manager sends your MAC address to the update servers very frequently in the clear.

However if you do keep the stock ROM you can always re-flash the device if you find the OEM ROM better. I will be shocked if you were to find that as the TNT Lite, and the Vegan are superior in every way to the the STOCK ROM.:D
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's fairly easy to go back, if needed. We also post all the latest firmware updates from TnT (even if they don't - still don't know why they don't offer them). See the FAQ in my sig for the vanilla ROM locations, and instructions on how to use them.

I made the decision to pull the over-the-air updater from TnT Lite, with the first release. From a security standpoint, phoning home in the clear with my mac address is a terrible idea. If Apple or MS did this, for example, the tech blogs would eat them alive. We usually grab the firmware updates pretty fast and post them. ie. the latest one is already posted.
[G Tablet General] festivus:
Sorry for the newb question, but a search came up empty. Should I choose Vegan over TNT lite, is the install procedure the same? I see the step-by-step install guide for TNT lite, but wonder if Vegan requires different steps.

Thanks in advance!!!
[G Tablet General] JoeMofknDot:
If you install clockwork recovery you can easily try all the roms I have been using the vegan b3 release I like it but I use dolphin HD and skyfire browsers I don't like the native browser. Also I have used the tnt roms they are good too but as of lately really like vegan rom also if you back up your rom after you install you can compare stock vs custom. vegan roms download to PC drag to SD card rename update (at least on my vista PC) boot into recovery select apply update.zip and your good to go
[G Tablet General] Narvarr:
What size SD card is required to fash with. I just picked up a GTablet for my wife for Christmas and want it running as flawless as possible before giving it to her.
[G Tablet General] necromonger89:
Any as long as it can fit the 100MB+ Rom. The micro SD is used incase you screw up an need to reflash to stock. This happened to me, the external memory helped me fix it.

Oh and thank you Roebeet for your hardworking on the roms you and everyone/anyone that helped you make this device incredible!
[G Tablet General] Narvarr:
So the TnT lite rom is 100mb?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus1000:
I just picked up my gtablet yesterday and have been spending my time installing tnt lite and installing several apps. I bought it because when I go on trips I wanted something that could browse the net, and play videos. I installed RockPlayer and put a 720p mkv file onto the machine, however playback is very choppy and its almost like the device cannot handle it. I know that several people have gotten 1080p to work good, and I am wondering if there is a setting that needs to be enabled to make 720p work better? I did some digging and saw that someone said to edit a line in the build.prop file (set the media.stagefright.enable from true to false), but I cannot edit my build.prop file. And I am not entirely sure that this will fix the problem. Are 720p videos playable on this machine?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanglx:
What profile did you render the movies in? Try changing the MKV extension to AVI... Sometimes some renderers treat containers differently even though they are using the same codecs.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus1000:
just tried to rename the extension from .mkv to .avi and still same choppiness and eventually the videos stops playing all together. I am not sure what rendering is, but the file is encoded AAC 2.0 H264
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
h264 is not the issue, it's what profile its encoded in

I have this in my FAQ section (in my sig). h264 is supported, but the Tegra 2 cannot handle h264 encoded in high profile. It can handle main profile.

This is confusing to people. So, what I would recommend is to download the excellent "mediainfo" tool (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en) and it will show you how your videos are encoded.

As for container support, I think MP4 plays a little better than MKV, but Rockplayer (in the Market) seems to be able to handle MKV and using hardware acceleration. Again, as long as it's h264 main profile.

This is not just an issue with the GTab - all the Tegra 2 devices will have this issue as its a limitation of the chipset, or so I've read. Vega, Folio, even the mysterious Adam will probably have this same limitation.

Reference on h264 and main / high profile: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus1000:
Thank you for clarifying. I am wondering can I convert the video to the main profile and then get it to work?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Yeah, that's the tricky part. I haven't been able to figure that out yet, although granted I haven't put much time into it. I think these "profiles" depend on how you encode and which tool you use.

If you try the Tron Legacy trailers, they are 1080p but main profile. A good example of how nice videos can look on it, when encoded the right way.

I have to play around more with something like ffmpeg to see if I can pin this down. Another reason for transcoding is to keep the sizes down, since we have the 4GB FAT32 file size limitation to deal with. Yuk.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elitepsycho:
I've incoded a 1080p high profile to main. sound was in and out then tryed a few things and lost sound. Video played great anyways:p.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japhule:
I guess it depends on the encode. I dl a 720p music video off of youtube, mp4 avc high@3.1L (according to mediainfo) and it plays just fine.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Could be a lower screen resolution that full 720p (not all 720p's are alike).

I also read today that Tegra 2 720p should work in high profile, but 1080p definitely does not. But, Android itself might be limiting even 720p, so it's a crap shoot.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sprdtyf350:
Just out of curiosity why do you guys want those big files on here anyway? Is it to output to a TV? I wouldn't think you would need such a high quality file to watch stuff on the G tab.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japhule:
It's not about storing large files on the gtab...its more about having video portability. I keep my movies and videos on a server that I stream from my living room and bedroom. It would be ideal if I can play files on any device without having to reencode the video.

I did test 1080p files from YouTube and they did not play (high profile).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sprdtyf350:
Ok, makes sense. I do the same thing using upnplay and my server. Thought you were wanting them on the tablet.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
A two hour 720p movie runs ~4GB, so it's close to the limit in FAT32. And you could easily go over the limit when encoding, which would require you to break the file up. Annoying.

The problem here is that none of the vendors want to agree on a replacement file system for portable devices (wow, no surprise there). MS wants exFAT, the open source community would prefer EXT3/4, and I assume Apple would prefer HFS+.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkhilo:
Can't speak for everybody else, but for me I'd want to just use the video files I broadcatch from the NNTP groups. Ideally, I wouldn't want to have to reencode video to watch it, just access it directly from my media server. Standard definition avis work okay, but eventually these will not be offered and of course the HD versions look way better. Over the years it's been harder to come by a regular source of SD resolution TV Series feeds. The 720P encoded files quality are noticeable versus SD even on this smaller screen. Ideally we would get high profile 720P MKV at least to work as it seems this is what the guys doing NNTP TV Series seem to be encoding in.

What I would see happening is that a video player on the GTablet will access the files off the media server and stream, not play files directly off the local Internal SD. Regardless of where the file resides, it looks like it needs to be refined to play these files more fluidly.

I'm not saying this will be the only nor primary method of viewing video files, but having the flexibility and option is always nice. Especially when all the tvs are watching something else. ;P

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob_z11:
Can you please share how you are thinking about doing that using movies/pictures/videos on Windows Media Center share or NFS mount.

I tried very same thing as some of my movies still in vob format or mpeg2 (home recordings of kids), tv recordings using microsoft format or streaming pics, and nothing seems to work. I was able to use upnpplay (android program in the market place) to browse my stuff on the shared drive, but can't play mpeg2, vob or other format.

does anyone know what's the best way to do this?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazuka:
G Tab supports H.264 1080p main and high profiles

Detailed specs on what Audio and Video formats G Tablet supports are listed in the manual downloadable from the Viewsonic web site.

But in a few words - it does support up to 1080p, both baseline, high, and main profiles for H.264 with certain limitations for each, and MPEG4 simple profile.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neoprimal:
My entire system is redundant. I have my windows 7 share as well as my htpc/nas running tversity, orb and audiogalaxy (music only). Everything is shared in every way. First I try just streaming the file through Windows 7 dlna, which generally works fine. I too use Upnplay. If something doesn't work (very rare) I move to looking for it through Tversity which attempts to detect the dlna device and scale it so it works. I've never needed to use Orb on the GTab since I really got everything up and running, Orb is for when I actually am on the road and want to watch sth. from my home network. PlayOn may actually work as well - it has a free mode which allows you to use it to share files on the local network using VLC codecs.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kampf:
Video Playback

I'd like to add to this conversation with, I hope, clarification of how to get higher definition video playback working on the GTab.

I've tried four video files that are 720P or 1080P. None of them works well in Movies, DoubleTwist, Rockplayer, or VitalPlayer.

G Tablet, TnT 4.21, OE kernel. Market fix. Various apps.

Videos all playing from /SDCARD

Here is some more information about those videos, using Mediainfo:

Touring Car race:

720P MPEG-4 50FPS AVC (High@L4.1) (CABAC / 3 ref frames)

AAC Stereo

Big Buck Bunny:

http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/download/

1080P OpenDML AVI 12Mbps 24FPS MPEG-4 Visual (Simple@L1)

AC-3 audio

Audi R8:

720P AVC Matroska 800Kbps 29.970FPS AVC (High@L4.1) (CABAC / 2 ref frames)

AC-3 audio

Donington LG demo:

1080P BDAV M2TS 35.5Mbps 29.970fps AVC (High@L4.0) (CABAC /3 ref frames)

AC-3 audio

Are all of these simply too much for me to get away with playing on the GTab? I've played most, if not all of these, using a Broadcom 70012 Crystal HD decoder card on a Dell Mini 9 (Atom N270) with few problems.

Thanks for the help.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpink84:
You should check out Subsonic. I had the same setup as you but Subsonic is great because its not streaming like Audiogalaxy but actually caches the MP3s to your phone/tablet and it uses a java player (jwplayer) to stream videos MUCH better than Orb over WAN. Much better quality/performance overall. Just a recommendation! :P
[Captivate General] shishir95:
Before you say SEARCH, or call a repost of something else, I did.

I was flashing Assonance a while ago on my spare Captivate. Everything went great. I flashed to stock jf6, rooted, installed CWM, pushed the update.zip to my phone and installed it. The installation process went smooth -- no error messages and no unusual waits. When I hit "reboot" in CWM, my phone turned black. I left it there booting up (or so i thought?) for fifteen minutes or so before i realized that it was dead. Not the battery, but I figured it should have hit the AT&T screen, or atleast the GT-i9000 screen -- but nothing. I switched batteries with my other captivate -- the one i rely on, and didn't boot up.

I searched for the issue and one guy fixed it by charging his captivate for about an hour or so. I left it plugged in for four hours and it didn't work. I obviously tried entering download mode several diffferent ways, and tried everything to get my beloved spare captivate to boot. its the one i watch videos on, the one i lend to my family if they need to look something up, the one that takes pictures and videos and the one that acts as a wifi router, etc. it's important!

as a final check, a guy fixed it by just trying LATER, like the next day (i.e. 24 hours) and i left it on my desk, plugged in for three days and i left it unplugged for six days. i tried it this morning like i usually did every morning and it's still dead.

I've considered the little usb dongle thing thats supposed to get the phone into download mode (its just a bunch of resistors i can't find the actual name) but someone told me that it wouldn't work since my phone isn't even getting to the at&t screen or the phone (!) computer screen.

so what do i do?
[Captivate General] norcal einstein:
You go build/buy that "usb dongle thing" called a JIG. It's basically 300kohms of resistance between pins 4&5.

Since I don't see many other options, I would say to give it a shot. I've gotten my phone into Download Mode with a black screen (no Phone (!) computer) using a JIG and button combos before. While the JIG isn't a surefire thing, it's a relatively cheap thing to try.
[Captivate General] oriongaby:
Just try it.
[HD2 General] nemer12:
Hi, what can I do if my phone won't start up ??

I want to open it but the display doesn't turn on, I've tried this thing , but it doesn't work ..

"To perform a hard reset

1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.

2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:

This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel.

3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.

4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset."

After I do this I hear the start up sound and my keys flashes(lights)

What can I do please help !! Thx

I have literally spent hours and hours Googling "sd card disabled when on USB" and I've yet to find an answer.

I'm trying to just copy my database to the sd card and access. In my program, if I code to check the media state, it returns "not mounted" when I log:

if (android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(

android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED))

Log "mounted

else

Log "not mounted".

I've pulled down the notification window. It's set to USB storage and I DON'T HAVE A "MOUNT' button.

I'm using a Mac Book Pro, Eclipse Helios and everything is up-to-date as far as I know.

I've tried to push the database to /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard...get a "protected error".

I've formatted the card (FAT 32).

I need help, I'm going crazy...it SHOULD NOT be this hard to get a freakn' file on an external card and access it.

<edit> Powered down phone, removed battery, reseated card. Powered-up...now the device is not even recognized plugged in via USB...adb devices lists nothing, not able to adb shell....i'm getting really pissed with this droid x right now :)
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
BUMP for frustration factor LOL...

I have my application pretty much done; ready to deploy it. However, it's worthless if I can't get a 5 MB database on the SD card, let alone, instructing end-users to load the app via adb AND installing the databse.

I think I'll go get my domain and website setup while I wait (hopefully) for someone to reply..

[Droid X General] overfiendx2:
Can somebody please explain the difference between these two commands.

1) mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

2) mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

In adb I'm using the latter to mount my system dir as rw. I perform what I have to then issue the next command:

mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

But it tells me the device is busy and to try again later. Well it never lets me remount as ro so I just exit, perform a reboot of the phone, and it is back to ro. I can't help think this is not a good way of doing it though. So I was gonna try this other command but don't know what exactly either is or the difference between the two. Anyway some help would be greatly appreciated.

***EDIT***

OK I finally got it to work. Seems you can not enter adb, root, exit adb, then enter adb again, attempt to unroot. The unroot takes and all works until I try to remount as ro, then I get above problem. Now when I root, exit adb, reboot phone, re-enter adb, and attempt to unroot everthing goes as expected with remounting as ro.

So thanks for anybody that at least took a look at the thread. Seems I have it squashed though. If you are wondering I'm testing some things out that is why I'm rooting, and unrooting back to back.
[Droid X General] Str0ntium:
I don't even bother remounting. I just type #reboot. It will remount, by default, when the system starts up.
[Droid X General] overfiendx2:
Yeah that's what I had to resort to, but as I stated. I just can't help think that's not a good practice to get into.

Anyway I found what was causing my trouble and remounting as ro with the previous command works fine.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
To answer your question about the difference in the two commands... The yaffs2 or ext3 is the specifying the you're off file system you are mounting as.
[Droid X General] overfiendx2:
Thanks for the response. Could you explain in more detail. I don't understand what you mean. Again thank you for taking time with such a noob thing.
[Droid X General] Sleuth255:
mount command line options...

"-t <option>"

"t" stands for "type" and <option> = the linux filesystem type. Linux supports many. "yaffs" = "yet another flash file system" (lot's of tongue-in-cheek developers work on linux). "yaffs2" is v2 of this type of file system.

ext3 is a widely used linux file system.

essentially, the filesystem type tells linux how the data is actually organized on the disk.

the /dev/... that follows is the raw device to associate the filesystem type with.
[Droid X General] overfiendx2:
So I take it that the phone or more directly adb can handle either file system? What of the mtdblock4 and mmcblk1p21 entries? I guess i just don't understand how two so different commands can mount/unmount the same folder. Again thank you very much for your time.
[Droid X General] Sleuth255:
well, adb is just a way to open a terminal session on your phone. Think of it like opening a command prompt on windows. So it is the linux OS on your DX that is processing (handling) the command.

The two commands mount different raw devices (that actually are formatted with different filesystems) to the same "/system" mountpoint. In linux, a mountpoint is kind of like a drive letter would be in dos. What's cool about linux is that you can mount a raw device anywhere in the filesystem tree (where the root is specifiied as "/"). Windows provides that same functionality now with it's ability to map devices to folders.
[Droid X General] overfiendx2:
I believe I'm beginning to wrap my head around it. Been fool'n w/ computer for awhile. I really have no excuse to be so illiterate on linux. I really need to just dig in. Any suggested starting points? I really loved dos and miss it so. lol. So I'm thinking I will probably enjoy linux more.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
+5 to sleuth's response! I forgot to kinda expand on the rest of the command. Thnx sleuth for filling in the rest.
