Use your favorite file manager to rename a file
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
I placed .nomedia in two places this time - one in the root, the other in the video folder itself. I loaded two videos (.avi). Played them both in mvideoplayer as well as videos -> movies. One had no sound, the other did (both orginal files have sound).

Powered off/then on (rather than a reboot) and they are gone (third time).
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
One of the devs will need to respond to that. I am already rolling on reasonable assumptions- but they are STILL assumptions.

[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Clearing data and cache prior to updating is always prudent, but in this case, does not explain vanishing media files. Seems root cause of the issues are the storage conflicts with Advent Vega (one location) and Gtablet (two locations). This has been the constant weakness of the CM roms as well.

The holy grail seems to be accessing the UI and driver code that manages Gtablet specific hardware and then use a vanilla rom as the core package. Problems will likely continue in one form or other unless this combination is possible. added: Having the UI and driver "layers" could also provide a cleaner path for 2.3 upgrades :)

It seems apparent that the OEM dev was clueless, considering all the issues:

1. Lack of "relative" accelerator orientation for apps to work (Appreciate the "It is not broke perspective" but it functionally IS, considering most apps do not work with it- ZERO field testing of common apps prior to launch, based on talks with CS).

2. Initial FW status out of box (borked).

3. Sleep state and lag issues likely due to some funky and erroneous polling of hardware in the kernel.

4. Inability to chose other keyboards and inputs, due to the OEM not complying to Android 2.2 specifications for interface layers.

It is a near miracle that the Fab Four and others were able to bake well functioning roms with TnT and Vegan, though with caveats inherent to the resources available.

I have this same issue...
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
To be honest, I really am not sure what you are saying. I "think" you are saying you are sharing the root of a hard drive and want to be able to see that with CIFS.

I also use SageTV. Have since Version 1.4. I never have my recordings folders as the root of the drive. For that matter, I never share the root of any drive. My Sage recordings go into a folder created on the drive. Mine are like this... F:/SageTV, G:/SageTV2, etc. Sharing the root of a drive for me is something I don't like to do. If I wanted to see my Sage stuff I would share my SageTV folders, and then set them up like any other folder with CIFS.

BTW, Just in case you forgot. Sage can do conversions. I have a Converted folder I created and tell Sage to put conversions there. I find it to be way faster than Handbrake, and you can choose a bunch of different outputs types. You can have it automatically convert, or only convert what you want..
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
Tried this and now the .txt shows up on the file when I go to delete it (.txt) I get an error "You must type a file name."

I uninstalled and reinstalled my mvideoplayer (thinking a possible error with my backup file). Loaded two files, they played fine, powered off, then on. No files again.

Don't really know what more to try.

Problem with posting a nandroid backup is the persons Google info is there as well. Not really needing someone with the ability to buy apps for me with my account.

With all the issues you sound like you are having... Me, I would just wipe everything and start over. I have never had, or heard of anyone else having the issues you are having. You could have already loaded 20 new roms in the time you have used asking for someone to post a backup for you...

if you have adfree you must revert because ads are needed

change you browser to view as desktop...to enable in default browser type about:debug in address bar then go to settings and click UA Strings...

using it now with Vegan B5.1
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
What do you mean by adfree? Is this an app to circumvent Flash adds? Is it default on TnT, or something you add? How does a person know if they have it? Adds pop up in some Flash vids for me.

Too many questions- I agree.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
It is in the market. You install, run the app, let it do all its updates. Then push revert.
[G Tablet Android Development] thebadfrog:
Or not install AdFree at all. I don't have it installed so I skipped that step and hulu works

The tablet shutting down thing is strange - I've found that this never happens anymore for me with the newer lagfixed kernels. Try tapping quickly on the power button, waiting a few seconds, tapping again. Should wake up.

[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
Your right.. I forget sometimes that we have lots of people reading this stuff:o
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
I know exactly how to make a backup with no personal data. But I don't know why you think that is the only solution. No, I have not heard of anyone else with the problem. Have you tried to partition your sdcard in clockwork back to 2048, and 0 swap? Having it anything different has caused lots of market problems. Have you done an Nvflash restore as a last resort to ensure your tablet is back to stock and started from there? You don't need someones backup, you need to think a little more out of the box...

And no, I am not lecturing... Even if it sounds like it:)

I have not repartitioned my sd card so i think that might be the issue but right now i try to download apps from the market and either it gets paused partway through the download or after it downloads itdoesnt install and appears like it didnt even download. Would repartitioning fix this??
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
Really don't know. But if you have ever partitioned it before to some other size it very well could. Can't hurt. If you have anything important on there copy it to your pc first because a partition will wipe it out. You will also need to flash a new rom because it will be gone afterwards. If you make a backup with clockwork, which I wouldn't with the problems you are having, don't keep it on the sdcard or it will be gone too after the partition.

This tablet sometimes has a mind of it's own it seems. Sometimes for no real reason I have had bootloops, shutdowns, you name it. All in the fun of playing around. So I would just give that a shot and see if it doesn't help.
[G Tablet Android Development] SpinKix:
Sorry... double post, see below
[G Tablet Android Development] Diesel74:
All I can say is it "MAY" . . . I was having similar issies earlier but I re-did the whole gamut ( wipe data / factory reset , Dalvik wipe, confirmation / re partition of 2048/0) and aside from the several games that still don't work correctly for me yet... its been butter ever since . . . although I still havent played with the CIFS / NTFS stuff yet . . .

IMHO VEGAn is the ****...
[G Tablet Android Development] SpinKix:
Sorry for the confusion, let me clarify...

I'm not having a problem with CIFS on the root of c: drive. That's working great.

But that's just a test to see if I got CIFS working, and it has. (First attempt at Cifs Manager ever, or anything Android for that matter)

My problem happens when I attempt to mount another shared folder on H: drive.

Nothing but CIFS errors when I try different path statements like: "192.168.2.109/H:/video files"

How do you specify the path to your F:/SageTV folder in CIFS?

For me.... "192.168.2.109/H:/video files" is causing an error.

but "192.168.2.109/share" mounts the "share" folder on C: drive without error.

Yes, I have been using SageTV convert, but I am hoping to be able to transcode and stream the videos on the fly. I have been using a program on my iTouch called Air Video that works wonderfully, but there is no app like that for the gTablet. I tried VLC, but can't get the stream to play video, just the sound streams.
[G Tablet Android Development] jmdearras:
Timeout crashing?

Running beta 4, if I manually push the power button to put the tablet to sleep, all is well. But if I leave it alone with the screen on, when I come back, it has powered off. Is that normal? can I change it to just auto-sleep?

Thanks,

Jim
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
Just a guess, but I bet that if you take the space out of video files and make it video_files it will work.. And I would do it like this instead... 192.168.2.109/video_files

And have you looked at the program Fonceur on the Sage forum has built? It is called TaSage and it is made to work a lot like Sage Placeshifter except for Android. I have not messed with it any further than just goofing around but supposedly he has streaming working with it now also.
[G Tablet Android Development] bblackmoor:
This bug where the tablet arbitrarily deletes files on its own is a serious concern for me. The OS should not simply be deleting files (.nomedia notwithstanding). CIFS, etc., is great, but please focus on this "tablet deletes files" bug. It's just my opinion, of course, but in my opinion, no feature or bugfix is as important as that one. Nothing else I am aware of is even a close second.

Thank you for your time and hard work.

Does anyone have these two issues with keyboards?

No dictionary with the android keyboard. No auto correct or suggestuons.

No sound wirh the tnt keyboard.

If it is just me ill have to do a fresh install, but wanted to check before i did it.

Yeah i dont have any spelling sugestions with the android keyboard either. Really missin that right now
[G Tablet Android Development] PriTyan:
I did not notice a fix for this, but I'm getting,"Sorry there's not enough space to install this item." I have plenty of space available on all partitions.

Has a fix been posted for this.

Did the obligatory wipe data/cache. I had this same problem when I tried the updated market a few versions ago.

[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
known issue, with no fix yet - affects anyone who changed their SD partition from the 2048 default to something like 4096. Also affects TnT Lite, and I assume any other builds using the new Market.

i thought the gingerbread keyboard was baked into this?? at least it was in version 3 - i'd love to see the stock gingerbread keyboard back into this build - or perhaps ADW.Launcher (which i can never access in the marketplace for some reason!)

great rom!!
[G Tablet Android Development] ssmithri:
just keeps getting better... is there a place into donate to support the devs?
[G Tablet Android Development] n2thecloud:
is there one more before Christmas?

Gojimi Roebeet,

I am still on beta3. I see some slight issues being reported for 4.

Should I wait for a beta 5 before Christmas or just flash beta 4 and then apply a supplement later. 3 is still pretty good for me.

And it is setup already the way I like it... suggestions please.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I actually had terrible issues in beta 3, and the earlier beta 4 prototypes. Would work, then after a few reboots it would FC over and over and you'd have to go through hoops to disable it. I actually asked that it be pulled, at least for now.

As for ADW, we prefer to keep the launcher as vanilla as possible as everyone is going to have their own requirements. Plus, adding user apks is a real pain in the butt, due to how our device is partitioned - it was actually a lot of work just getting Flash in there. :)

ADW is actually in the market, but it's just buried under all those themes.

In all honesty, if you want to donate please look up rothnic and gojimi's ID's and use their donate link. The community has been VERY generous to me, so for anyone else thinking of donating, please send it to those two geniuses instead. Thanks!

I like beta 4 myself, it's a major improvement over beta 3, imo. My suggestion is to do a nandroid backup in clockworkmod and then give beta 4 a whirl. If you don't like it, you can always restore beta 3.

Some of the issues might be related to not wiping data, especially slow performance. Beta 4 is very speedy for me.

After update.zip what do I need to do next?

First, THANKS! It looks great!!!

I installed update.zip.

Are there any additional steps I need to do to get stuff added or working?

I opened "market" and was able to install most of the apks that I wanted except for a couple of apps that I was able to in the past but couldn't this time, e.g., "Dolphin Browser HD".
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
You can give rothnic and shout.

Don't worry, bekit is still working on that, or so I've been told.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Yeah, this is nasty - never tested that. Could be a newer (or older) version from beta 3. A lot of the gapps were changed.

It's probably fixable - worst case, we can layer the beta3 version back on. EDIT: Confirmed that the beta 3 version works, I was able to layer it on and no more FC. I will make a note of it for beta 5 / rc1 / whatever is next. I could whip up a supplement to beta 4, would that work? The only issue is that gojimi is gone for the holidays so I can't post it to the first post, myself.

It does work on 5.1. Make sure you have the latest version from the market and you should be able to skip the Voicemail setup.

2) allowed the 3389 auto update

3 installed the 3389 perfomance pack with gapps

4) market fixed

5) reinstalled clockwork mod premium from market

6) downloaded vegan 5.1 directly to gtab from dev web site

7) booter onto clockwork

8) loaded rom from sd card (basically following steps 7-9) in the install guide on the sticky w (tnt/clockwrk/market fix)

I have pretty much no issues

...is it still deleting media files from the SDCard 2 directory?
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
deleted post....found it!
[G Tablet Android Development] anlog:
"H:" is not a valid share name. If you haven't directly shared out the folder with the files, you can map the root of a drive by using the administrative share name. For the H: drive it would be h$, and for G: it would be g$, etc... So your path would be "\\192.168.2.109\h$\video files". You will need to use the username and password of an administrator to use these share. ALSO, having spaces in a directory name can cause some unpredictable issues, so it is suggested that you name it something like "video-files" or "video_files", thereby making the full path \\192.168.2.109\h$\video_files.

Hope this helps...
[G Tablet Android Development] SpinKix:
The solution is so simple it hurts.

Your suggestions led me to try reducing the path.

Turns out it works with NO path at all. Just enter the name of the shared folder, no matter what drive it's on.

"192.168.2.109/video files" works like a charm even though it's on the H: drive!

Yea, I looked at that, but with all the steps and edits, I'm afraid I'll mess up the Sage server.

Thanks *click* again!
[G Tablet Android Development] SpinKix:
As my other post noted, it works with no path at all:

"192.168.2.109/video files"

Maybe it works because I never set up admin in Win XP.

I will change the folder names as you suggested.
