I stuck my in my PC and formatted. It worked fine. As far as Vegan - Beta 2 does fine and maintains the files so I'm not sure it is Vegan itself but more likely an issue with some of the new info there.

Continuous Reboot

bought a brand new machine, installed ClockworkMod and then installed latest version of Vegan. it booted up first go round perfect, then i tried to reboot and now all i get is a Continuous Reboot. I have tried whipping to factory and reinstalling and even installing other mods and same problem. I can seem to find anything on this topic. I did NOT unzip the mod file, i just put it directly in the root dir and installed it cleanly. any suggestions ? :confused:
[G Tablet Android Development] hailtothethief83:
Sounds like you have the same issue I had earlier this week. I repartitioned my SDcard in Clockwork and all has been well since then
[G Tablet Android Development] anlog:
Try doing a "wipe cache partition", "wipe dalvik cache", and "fix permissions" from clockwork. If that doesn't work, then you'll probably need to repartition the SD card (size 2048mb / 0 swap).

Hope this helps...

im having trouble with this rom it gives me unexpected errors when i go into settings about device tab and hit the status tab (process com .android settings)has stopped unexpectedly and for some reason the internal memory and sd card are switched it shows 12.98 gb available on the sd card 1.84 for internal device storage

i know i more than likely must have done something wrong can any one help me with this.....

apart from that this rom runs flawlessly and compared to the stock g tab firmware this is nothing
[G Tablet Android Development] japhule:
I believe the force close on status is normal for this rom. Vegan currently only displays the internal storage for the gTab and not the microsd storage. The gTab has 16gb of internal strorage and is split between ~2gb device storage and ~13gb internal.

Since applications does get as much traffic and I have this working well enough to be a full time Email replacement... Here is the Samsung Galaxy Tab email confirmed working on Vegan 5.1. Could use some log files from people with exchange accounts when they fail(only account I can't test). Gmail, yahoo, hotmail are all working just fine.

The force close on About Device - > Status happens on all Roms with cell capabilities removed. You can add back the apks but it will impact battery life. Everything sounds normal to me. Just dont click on about device. :) i think reworking the settings app to remove that option or remove the calls to phone.apk from there is on Gojimis low priority TODO list.....

Issue solved
[G Tablet Android Development] Diesel74:
static/sound issues???

so i'm in the kitchen making another pot of coffee and i hear static out of the blue. . . i discover that its my G-Tab which has been quietly sleeping on my desk for several hours i wake it up and try to adjust the sound setting on either the rocker switch and in system settings none of the adjustment make any difference in the volume whatsoever . . . then it stops ?

while i'm in the sound settings i go to a "notification sound" and select a different sound and the static returns, i then notice that i have an email notification for my g-mail acct.

so now for some reason all of my notifications are static ... rebooting to see if this corrects << It corrected with re-boot >>

is this a known issue? has this happened to anyone else? or is this a sign of inpending hardware failure... :eek: lol
[G Tablet Android Development] birchs:
I have the same issue. But I do not know of it is software or hardware related.
[G Tablet Android Development] computerwiz_222:
I had this issue as well, a couple of times. It seems that after sleeping for extended periods of time, it just gets extremely loud static.

I had this issue in Beta 4, I have yet to experience it in Beta 5.
[G Tablet Android Development] dougmod:
After upgrading to beta5, ny times app longer works. It opens and just says updating. Kik does not work either. It opens with a force close error.

Anyone notice widgets disappearing with Vegan 5.1? I had a last.fm widget on one my screens and I rebooted. Now its missing. The widget is missing from the list in both LauncherPro and Stock launcher although the app works fine. Any ideals??
[G Tablet Android Development] highcool2008:
Thanks for the response. I tried to get the latest version from the market, however, I cannot even find google voice. Does that mean I don't have a full market after I flashed the 5.1? Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] anlog:
You have to do the market fix EVERY TIME you flash a new build from scratch. Upgrades usually don't require it.
[G Tablet Android Development] Bad@ssGtab:
Anyway of getting the mouse back with Beta 5? A lot of folks are using a mouse and this has kept me from going forward...

yep, Its does help to read completely throught the postings! Huge thanks...
[G Tablet Android Development] LRiley:
I didn't have to do the market fix and I did a clean install but maybe it was reloaded from titanium backup:o
[G Tablet Android Development] thebadfrog:
The recommendation is to not restore system data when flashing new roms.

Most of the market shows when you install the current roms but you sometimes have to do the "fix" a couple times to get more apps to show.

android.process.acore FC repeatedly

Installed Vegan-Tab 5.1b yesterday and all was well. Today I just turned the unit on and I am getting repeated FCs of android.process.acore

Perplexed. I tried to do a reboot from CWM and a Reboot Recovery but still having the issue. I am about to re-install the ROM unless someone has an easier fix.
[G Tablet Android Development] hailtothethief83:
Had the same issue yesterday coming from a clean install the night before wiped data/factory reset and wiped cache...

Only thing that worked for me was to reinstall the ROM again but this time I wiped data/factory reset and wiped cache x2 in Clockwork

Have not gotten that FC message since
[G Tablet Android Development] P0RT3R:
I think this is a result of restoring old system data, usually associated with contacts. Be careful as you restore app and system data not to restore the contacts. I think that others have relieved the problem by wiping the contact info. Hopefully you can find more info by searching acore and contacts.

[G Tablet Android Development] jasco13:
Been running 5.1 since release. I'm having random power offs. Sometimes it just powers off in the middle of an activity and sometimes it powers off while it sleeps. Seems like i get them 3 to 4 times per day.
[G Tablet Android Development] ncc1701vash:
Ok so I have posted a few times that I upgraded to 5.1 and lost the ability to install some apps ( not download install ) I tryed to install apk file from SD from market and applanet but no go.

I maneged to flash to a working cm6.1 and my apps can installagain. . But when I try to reflash back to 5.1vegan I can't install them. Anyoneknow why or how this might happen. I have re downloaded the rom and tryed with data wipe and without. Also tryed to partision my SD but it still wont give me angry birds using 5.1 . It worked on 5.

Any ideas?
[G Tablet Android Development] elrafa_paez:
I have no issues with power off, or any trouble with this release, unfortunally i'm going to return my g-tablet to sears, because of a dead pixel on the center of my screen, hoping they can give me a newone! But this release it,s great no issues at all!
[G Tablet Android Development] jdnyc:
I tired VEGAn and TNTLite the first day I got my tab weeks ago but have been using TNTLite ever since. Since so much has happened since then, I'm curious if anyone else has made the switch and what they think is better/worse...

Also, can I flash back and forth between the two without data loss using CWM/back up?

[G Tablet Android Development] mjforte:
Flash is no longer working for me after updating to the latest beta. Worked fine on beta 4. Anyone else having issues?
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
Did you try to uninstall, and then install it again? Sometimes helps.
[G Tablet Android Development] LRiley:
well vegan has more of a stock android feel and that is what people tend to like also vegan has more than one developer and they can put all their ideas into this rom while working together

you can flashback in forth I've done it but you'll get occasional force closes for a few things so you can back up everything in titanium backup do a clean install and just restore everything(titanium keeps all settings and memory of apps)
[G Tablet Android Development] bblackmoor:
I do. I tried TnT-Lite, but I prefer Vegan.

However, I still cannot find google voice on the market. What did I do wrong?

BTW, is there an apk for the latest google voice? If so, where I can find it? Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] festivus:
A little off topic, but when doing a restore from a previous backup with Titanium, I assume that you need to copy the Titanium folder to your PC, load your new rom, reload Titanium from Market, copy the Titanium folder back to the sdcard folder on the tablet, and then restore the backup? If this isn't correct, please let me know the correct procedure. Thanks!
[G Tablet Android Development] thebadfrog:
Unless your formatting your internal sdcard it is not necessary to move your backup to a pc and back. It's a good idea to have a copy of your backups just in case tho :D
[G Tablet Android Development] chief1978:
Why would you want too? There is no phone hardware to support it

5.1 Issues

I have read here where several have been having issues. Thought I would put my 50 cents in.

I notice first that 5.1 runs fast and snoothly. I noted several apps crashing requiring a "Force Closure". I fixed that issue by going into Titanium Backup, going to the crashing app under Backup / Restore and clearing data. Seems to have fixed that issue.

I noticed that a couple of GBs of photos were removed, but MP3's and FLV files remained. I took the card out and placed in pc, missing files still missing. Aaddedd an AVI file and about 3 GBS of photos (JPGs). Checked a short time ago and AVI as well as all JPG gone again. I had played the avi last night, had not looked at photos at all.

When I get time tomorrow, I will try the (.nomedia) and copy files once more.
[G Tablet Android Development] mcbooth:
First time I have experienced .avi files on sdcard2 being deleted.

Files were copied directly to card via USB card reader in PC. Files were organised in folders, folders remain but no files. Files are not visible when putting card back into PC USB reader either. *Highly* unusual.

Copying files back now directly to microSD card via USB card reader in PC. Will try the .nomedia tip in root and all subsequent folders, hopefully they survive.

Glad I found it now, would have been very unhappy had I jumped on the train tomorrow with no movies!! :)

Proxy Support

Hi,

Just like to say thanks for the great effort the devs have put forward to make the GTab usable. One question. I'm behind a corporate proxy server. I know there is a long standing issue with proxy support and WiFi on the Android. I tries the Transproxy app, but it didn't work for this build. Has anyone gotten proxy support working with the Vegan build?

Thx

Was having a GUI reboot issue on 5.1, wiping data seems to have corrected it

I went from b4 to b5.1 without wiping, and I was having some GUI reboots for no apparent reason. Wiped data and so far so good. I also upgraded to one of the newer customized kernels: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895825
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
.nomedia does not work. I tried it multiple times and put it got in the root of the sdcard2 and in the video folderthen it tried both. Nothing works.

I never had this issue w beta2. What changed (and can it be fixed?)

Would love to go beta 5.1 but this is a big hinderance for me. I understand tnt lite has the same issue.
[G Tablet Android Development] rayw796:
You can create an empty file from a command window.

type in: >.Nomedia

windows use: echo . > .Nomedia

This gives a file with 3 characters in windows, a period and a carriage return, line feed combination
[G Tablet Android Development] bblackmoor:
I find this baffling, frankly. Why on earth would the OS ever just delete a file on its own? That's insane.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Windows user? You can see the extensions via a command prompt. You can also rename files that way, if there's a .txt extension.

I know that notepad does this, on new file - I actually tested a Windows 7 VM over the weekend to see if this "feature" still exists, and it does.

See above, if you are a Windows user. I just want to make sure that Windows users are creating the correct file - notepad tacks on a .txt extension and Explorer hides it.

I've had ".nomedia" on the root of my microSD for more than a week now, with no issues (yet). Prior to that, my card was wiped of all videos at least twice.
[G Tablet Android Development] cabbagewxc:
A tip to create ".nomedia" file:

If you use Aldiko and has imported the books to the device, you can go to folder "eBooks/<author name>/<book name>/" and find ".nomedia" file which has "0" size. Then you can copy it to external Micro SD card.

Hope it helps.
[G Tablet Android Development] jhoelz:
I have just been using ES File Explorer to create the .nomedia file right on my device. It's a free app and supports browsing my local network as well. Seems to be working great so far. I do wish this would get fixed instead of using a work around like this.
[G Tablet Android Development] aver2one:
Loving beta 5 and still have my movies

The ".nomedia" has been working for me too! Im pretty stoked about that, I still have my movies ! :D I am still having the clock on home screen issue on anything past vegan beta 3 (one two and three work fine then 4 and 5 give me the clock) and also past tnt 3.0 which leads me to believe it is something in the 3389 firmware. The tablet thinks it is on a dock after boot which is causing this clock screen to load, because when I hit the menu it says dock settings. The clock issue is easily fixed by just uninstalling the clock app, but im just wondering why the tab thinks its on a dock at startup. Other then that tiny issue vegan 5.1 is smoking fast and awesome ! (and I believe this issue is somewhere embedded in TNT 3389 not the rom because it happens on both roms that are based on the 3389 firmware)
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
Yep, I agree.
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
What is everone using for their media player - especially those where the .nomedia is working?

I've been using MVideoPLayer
[G Tablet Android Development] aaron19953:
When in notepad when you save the file name it ".nomedia" WITH THE QUOTES

Frankly, the ".nomedia" is overkill.. If you have a folder that you want hidden, just put a "." in front of it.. It has the same effect. ie ".mypron" haha
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
Thakns robeet. Making the file via the command line may be the fix. Movies have survived 2 reboots with the .nomedia file in the root of the SDCard2. We will see...

As a side - my video player scans but no longer picks them up. I can see them from any file manager though. I also put a folder shortcut on my desktop rather than the video player shortcut - it works great. All movies show up and I can play them.

SInce I am going on a long trip, I did chicken out a bit and place backups of some of the movies on the internal SDCard....just in case!

Thanks again robeet

hi guys...

just got my tablet yesterday here in Portugal. ehhee..

I flashed the vegan and installed all i wanted and it was working perfect... until this morning...

i just turned it on and started having endeless FC problems with Launcherpro, ROM manager and Titanium backup.. I cant do anything on it not... I close the apps and the FC just keep coming ...

I was reading the faqs and noticed this:

Is this what I have to do? Go in to recovery and delete that file???

I can't use it now..

BEFORE we create extra work for our devs i want to point out that the method for flashing and reinstalling back ups may be the issue for most of these problems . I did a 2048 partition followed by a CLEAN install and did not do any app restores and so far the ONLY issues i have are the previously mentioned keyboard (auto spell) and external micro sd card isues. NO video issues, no lag issues, no sound issues, no FC issues, no market issues. I do run app killer, so that could be saving me a few problems after leaving it on all day(not sure).
[G Tablet Android Development] gtabfish:
To begin with, this is my first post on this board. I've had my g-tab since December 14th and have tried virtually every rom - thanks to all devs for their dedication to making the g-tab the best it can be - and IMHO VEGAn 5.1 is the best yet.

The only issue I've had with this version is the inability of wi-fi to auto connect following wake. Interestingly wifi did auto connect until I began installing apps from the market. Has anyone been able to find a fix for this?
[G Tablet Android Development] bblackmoor:
I am still using beta 4, but I have not encountered this problem.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Yeah, I think auto spell issues and the external micro SD card file deletion issues are actual bugs in the beta 5/5.1 ROMs.

The other issues you mention are all not actual ROM issues. Lag-on-wake is fixed, don't know of any video issues with this ROM, the sound issues have been reported by a few people but clearly aren't universal (thus they sort of have to be something distinct to those peoples' data partitions, SD cards, or hardware).

The FC issues are fairly well understood now - with Vegan they are usually corrupted SQLite databases which Roebeet posted about how to fix, or an outright screwed up user data partition (that seems to be more likely with stock, I don't think that happens very much with Vegan).

And market is fine with Vegan, or at least fine in the sense that market fix works just as it has all along. :)

If you are still having issues with apps that try to install to the internal SD card (Angry Birds etc.) after changing kernels, you should be able to delete the .android-secure directory on your SD card (see this link: http://www.techcredo.com/android/how-to-fix-download-installation-unsuccessful-android-market-issues or http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/archive/index.php/t-2633.html for more detailed fix).

Or just re-partition the SD card like AllenFX suggested. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
Maybe it doesn't like your choice of movies:) Try movies that are more computer/robot oriented and they will probably stay....
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
Just a little info for those that have had trouble making a file with no extension, checking to see if the extension is there, or just changing the extension in general.

If you go into the file explorer on Windows 7, top left click on Organize, select folder and search options, then select the view tab. Look down the list for "Hide extensions for known file types" and then remove the check mark. Now your files will all show the .txt, .com, whatever extension.

To remove the extension just right click the file name, select rename, and remove the extension. Windows will ask if you really want to. Show windows your the boss and do it anyway.....
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
I totally agree with this point..

The source of lots of problems for many is basically trying to cut corners installing roms by using Titanium backup without knowing what they should be restoring. If anyone is restoring system data to a new rom install then you are giving your very own self headaches and making a perfectly good rom look like junk. Same goes for taking corners by not doing data wipes. You cannot know that you are running ALL of the new rom and not residual pieces of the old one if you don't clear it all out. This is Beta firmware folks.. It has changes made from what was probably on you tablet before. You should only be restoring apps, and the data for the apps from Titanium.. Not system data...

Titanium is a great app but it should really be used to backup a system that stays the same when restored.

I try every rom that comes out here as a lot of you likely do. To get the most stable system I can, or want to make a reliable clockwork backup from... I won't use Titanium at all for that. The most stable setups I have come from starting from scratch with Nvflash, building on top of that with the new rom, and then installing my apps, setting up screens, etc. manually.. No restored nothing... That setup will usually run really nice, and then if there is a bug there is no wondering why..

I like cars.. So I will use another car analogy.. You have an old car, it has awesome wheels and tires. You get a new car that looks the same. It has different size wheels and they have a different bolt pattern. You install the old cool wheels on the new car that wasn't made for them. First time you take it for a drive it runs off the road into a ditch.. Who do you blame? Must be the car manufacturers fault right? In reality it is your fault for trying to use old stuff that doesn't fit.... Same thing here. Old system data, new rom.... Run off the road into a ditch when your tablet force closes... Then blame it on the rom.. Had to be a piece of junk rom written by some guy in a dark little space intentionally trying to cause lots of little issues so he could look like a superhero fixing them..

Yeah, that must be it:rolleyes:
