[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
All ROMs will come with its own kernel, so if you install a new ROM, you will get the kernel that comes with it. You can, of course, upgrade just the kernel later on if you wish.

Bugs get fixed, features are added, stability/performance may be improved. Need I say more?

More technically, if the kernel developer has a website where he posts his kernel releases, you can go there and see what has changed in each version.

Even more technically, you can look at the kernel source code and really see what's changed between each version.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BowTieDaniels:
Here's a problem that I hope someone can help me out with. I've searched google for days and have looked through the forums, but I have yet to find an answer that solves my problem.

What I am trying to do is connect my tablet to a university wireless network. I need to install a CA certificate to my tablet to gain access, and the IT department pretty much admitted to being useless when it comes to non-Apple tablets. The most common answer I find is to use RealmB's Android Certificate Installer, as described in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=579854, but this doesn't work for me because I can't save the certificate to upload it and the certificate is housed on an internal network so I can't use the URL to upload it either.

I have a rooted tablet and currently run TnT Lite v4.4.0 with the 2.6.32.36-cyanogenmod kernel.

Is there any other way to get the certificate installed on the tablet?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
What do you mean by "upload the certificate"?

The certificate issued by your university has to be present on your gTab; it doesn't need to be uploaded anywhere by you.

Just ask your IT guys to copy the certificate they wish you to use onto your gTab (or USB pen drive, SD card, whatever). Then install it like it says in post #4 in the link you gave above.

What is the best OS MOD TODAY 10/05/2011

I see that there are all kinds of mods and OS systems for the Viewsonic Gtab. My questions is: Which current mod is the best to use which allows the user to keep their Camera capabilities, speed, apps and I guess basically everything else. I see that there are many choices to chose from regarding both branches. I just want someone who knows and has the intelligence to make this decision. I am not all that savvy when it comes to these things but I can follow directions and I am not going to pretend that I know things I don't. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

hi all. i'm new to this forum. i've read the first 5 pages of this thread and since its 3AM in morning, i can't read more.

I found about this site on engadgets since i'm searching for a tablet for the past 1 week. And on engadgets, it was mentioned that there is a fix for the software of g-tab, but when i've seen this thread, i'm now confused as hell. there are so many things, i guess these are different kinds/types of updates that one can do and each has his own developer?

i would be thankful if someone could please guide me if this is the case? as i would be requesting one of my colleagues who's going to canada to bring this for me as its not available here in Pakistan.

Flashback /Camera

First a thank you to the Flashback team. :) 10.3 is the first ROM with which I actually use my G-Tablet.

Why is it so hard to get the camera working on the gTablet? Seems most ROMs sacrifice the camera, and even among those that don't I haven't found one a bar code reader app will work with.

I haven't found a barcode reader that would work well if at all with a camera under 3Mp. That doesn't mean it can't work, that's just my personal experience. I even had trouble with my old 3.2Mp Ally reading barcodes, my current phones work every time.

I had the same problem with my charging port. If your Gtab is still under warranty contact them. They replaced my mother board. I 'm not sure what you mean about blocks. They had to order my motherboard maybe they can tell you where to order one. As a last result contact your loczl computer repair shops they may have tech experienced with tblets.

Mother Board and charge port

I just got my Gtab back from repair... I found out it is a common thing because of the design of the charger pin that it tends to break down... Luckily it was under warranty so I got it replaced it took a full 10 business days :rolleyes:... It is a bit expensive to replace the motherboard but maybe the local reasonable repair guys can fix the connection port for the charger rather than have to replace the whole motherboard... I'll ask my local motherboard repair friend what to do...

Smoother Bean 1/5/13 Contacts & Calendar Issue

I just installed the most recent Smoother Bean ROM and it seems to be working pretty well.

I noticed that it did not come with the Google Calendar as part of the ROM. When I installed it from the Play Store, it won't sync because the Account settings list only the Browser, Chrome, Gmail and Google Play Music as items that can be synced.

Also, the People (or Contacts) app doesn't sync to my Gmail Contacts either.

Is there a way to enable this or do I want to avoid having these apps on the Gtablet for some reason?

Any help would be appreciated!

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

So far I've discovered the following apps don't function properly in Smoother Bean, based on a fresh install of the 1/5/13 ROM as instructed in the original post.

- Gas Buddy (starts to load and then says "Unfortunetly, GasBuddy has stopped.")

- Weather Bug Elite (actually caused a reboot of my tablet)

Anybody want to add to the list ... I'll update it here as I have time.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikedbq:
Ooops ... chalk this one up to not searching something out well enough. The 2nd post of the OP has a "SystemApps.zip" download that you install after the ROM is installed. I wish that the OP was edited for that to avoid the confusion, but in reality, this is my fault for not reading past the OP. Calendar and Contacts are now syncing and working.

SmoOther Bean laggy on first boot and after wakeup?

Installed SmoOther Bean a while back and performance is rather laggy when I first boot up and when I wake it up after putting it to sleep via the power button.

It wakes up normally, but the screen and input are rather slow to respond. I have tried the settings suggested in the Developers Options - set background processes to none, etc. and after a bit of use it seems to respond normally.

I've also wiped cache and Dalvik, but no change. Considering installing something else or reverting back to Vegan - any suggestions before I get that extreme?

Thanks!

First band to have an album on a CD. Lead guitarist mark knopfler is in the list of top guitarists and even has a dinosaur named after him.

He has a very unique style of playing and its awesome.

Just about everyone knows his song money for nothing.

There are a lot of his live performances that are just awesome. Brothers in arms is one of them.

I could go on and on and write a Bio about them but I'm not. Lol

Listen to this. Absolutely beautiful. At the middle he mixes it up and jumps on his schecter. Take a look at his playing style. Best finger style guitarist ever

Trying to create Circle Batt (no other changes) through UOT Kitchen for the Assonance 5.0 ROM.

When it finishes with the loaded Framework-res.apk file, the finished screen shows SHTF, and has an error log as follows:

Anyone know if this file can be used? I am presuming not. But there really is no documentation on that site about this type of thing.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Reefermattness:
Is that ROM already themed? It has to be with a stock framework for that kitchen to work.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ewingr:
I'd say so. It says "Modified version of Gingerbread Theme".

I wonder what I need to do to get Circle Batt then. I'll ask in that thread, in the meantime if you have any thoughts, it is appreciated.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Reefermattness:
I say use a stock framework, get the pngs for the battery from the kitchen. Open up the kitchen apk with winrar/7zip (doesnt matter if you unzip to extract them) pull all the batt icons out and drop them into the ROM framework that you want to use (do not unzip the framework, explore apk contents using winrar/7zip).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ewingr:
Thanks for the suggestion.

I'd say if I had the stock framework, the UOT Kitchen would have worked. Problem is, I don't have the stock framework.

I have posted a query on the thread. One person there said the UOT worked for him. I don't know if he got that same error I did or not. I'm tempted to ask for his file...but then I want to be sure. I think I'll have to reload completely again if it borks my load (at least that's all I know to do when that happens).

Getting tired of flashing lately. Hoping to settle for a while ;)

When making my battery mod for the Gingerbread theme, this is what I did, and it worked perfectly.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ewingr:
Any suggestions on where I can get the stock file?

Oh, and did you apply that to the Assonance 5.0 ROM? I see from your SIG that you are on Perception Build 3, which was not Gingerbread.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Reefermattness:
ANY stock framework.... All you need is the pngs inside.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ewingr:
To be more precise, you are saying to 'replace the pngs inside', right?

My comfort zone is to use UOT Kitchen. I tried the replace once, and somehow screwed things up.

So it sounds like I can take any 2.2 framework-res.apk, and run it through the kitchen and use it.

But, then I've tried using one that worked, for example, from a Cognition 3, and use on a 4 (Maybe not those specific builds), and it didn't work.

Having been burned on this from a couple different angles, I'm just a bit skittish. :p
[Captivate Themes and Apps] avgjoegeek:
Couldn't you just get the *.png's from FightSpit's original thread for his Circle Batt Mod?

Then just put them into your framework-res.apk and re-apply using your favorite tool (ADB Push or Root File Manager).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ewingr:
Maybe. I was told I need the 'original' framework file. but maybe that's only if i want to use UOT, which was in fact my question. That is my preference, but I'm coming to see that it is impossible if you have a modified theme.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MikeyMike01:
Never, ever, use a framework-res.apk that was not part of the original rom in question.

PNG files are easily replaced using any zip file editor.

Sent from my Captivate.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mindbullet:
So just so I'm understanding correctly, if I want to customize the battery pngs manually (or any png for that matter?) I can:

Upload a stock 2.2 framework to UOT Kitchen, pull out the pngs, place them in say Perception 9's or Assonance 5's framework-res.apk? Can I also just create pngs using an image editor and drop those in?

How would I reapply using adb or Root File Manager? Do I need to use a tool of some sort to sign the apk after I change the pngs?

i know that in general p500 is way better (starting with 2.2 android) and so on, but this time i am only concerned in gaming.

is it possible that gt540 runs games BETTER than optimus one ?

check this vid for example

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8-NV8daN-E

everything works pretty dam smooth in there ,also hes claiming its 1,6, even if hes lying, it would be 2,1 so how can it run better than optimus one ? both have pretty much same specs, only screens differ and ram/rom.

any ideas ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
May be some will not agree with me, but I think that just for playing games this phone isn't too much good. It's fine, but it have one big problem - hi CPU consumation if you tuch your screen. Many games needs touching on screen and if they need power, than problems appear.

If you want play games, you will have to pay (ex. Samsung Galaxy S) or just go through some problems in playing (ex. P500).

Probably most better way is buying one of specialized device like PSP.

This is just my opinion.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] xilw3r:
i definately dont want to pay 3x more for galaxy s just to have better gaming possibility :P besides, its way uglier than p500 (love the rubber finish for some reason)

gaming is not the most important thing, its more like to have smth to do while waiting etc. and i aint asking for 50 fps on the highest end games lol ;D

just wonder if optimus one can do it atleast decently when jazzed up.

and another q, do u guys know if optmius gt540 also has the same bug with screen touching during games ? in vids i dont see that... maybe i should consider buying it instead >.< idk

Adobe's Acrobat Reader should work. It's available free at adobe.com (I'm running the new version X on my gTab, Vegan ß3 - Haven't tried PDF fields yet, but everything else works great).

You will need to "rights enable" your PDF in Acrobat Professional if you want to save your filled form or post your data online to a backend server. Acrobat Pro is also needed to create the fields in the first place. There may be other software available that can do that as well, but none for Android AFAIK.

Hi XDA,

I'm writing my first Android app, an open source webtext client for Irish mobile networks. The current version of the project can be found here: https://code.google.com/p/webtextr

There's one thing I'm having trouble with though. I'd like to implement a ‘recipient’ text box, where the user can start typing the name of a contact, and after each letter is pressed, it searches their contacts database and provides a drop-down list of suggestions. Then the user could click on a name and it would insert their number into the text box. This would be just like the way it works in the stock SMS app when you go to compose a new message.

Does anyone know how to implement this? I've been looking through the source code of the stock SMS app here https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Mms/tree/froyo/src/com/android/mms/ui. But... it's *very* complicated and not especially well commented.
