Great Build!

Updated to VEGAn b5.1 from b4. I did not have any of the bigger issues that others mentioned with b4. Maybe a little sluggish after sleeps but not awful. b5 is much faster so far. Been running it for a couple of hours and am extremely happy. I did seem to have the speaker crack noise in b4 that some others mentioned so I will look to see if it happens in new beta.

Thank you for hard work developing these ROMs. I cannot believe how much more I enjoy my G-Tab. I would have returned it without the help of this forum.
[G Tablet Android Development] elrafa_paez:
Thanks !

Thanks for a good answer! That's all i was asking!

Issues Filed

I filed 3 issues up at the official Issues Tracker for VEGAn-TAB this morning:

1) Location Services via Wi-fi: Google Location Services fail to properly locate where you are via Wi-fi

2) Google Search Mobile Results instead of Full Results: Search results are in the mobile version of Google instead of full blown search results

3) VOIP apps do not work: SIPdroid and CSIPsimple fail to run I think because of missing Telephony modules

when I press the home button (soft or physical), nothing happens, is it related to this issue? Anyone knows the fix for it? The soft home or the physical home button do not work for me after I installed vegan b5.1. All other soft & physical buttons work fine.

Thanks

EDIT: After rebooting the tablet for a few times, the home buttons work now. No idea why, hopefully, next reboot will still work..

It keeps getting faster and more stable. I love the release been using it since it dropped. All my titanium apps install perfect like allways. Nice job guys! I love my gtablet..

Have you found a fix for the Facebook not syncing?
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
Crazy. I just installed 5.1 - I have no issues with sound, apps, etc.

My videos are GONE form my external SD card though. G-Tab couldn't find them so I pulled it out and checked with my PC - The folders were there but no video files!

If I put them back is this gonna happen again? I had planned to use this as a video player while travelling next week, I may have to revert until then.

It is recommended to wipe dalviks cache before inatalling a new Rom? Like going from beta4 to beta5.1.....
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
I usually do..
[G Tablet Android Development] jfholijr:
I could tell from your other post that you were being rebuked unfairly. English is not your native language is it?
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
I agree.. I have family in the Philippines and wouldn't want them treated like that just for asking a question:( I could tell what was meant when it was asked...
[G Tablet Android Development] mvaughn12:
Does anyone know the folder the default wallpapers in this rom are in? I'm just curious to know if like my evo 4g rooted if i can actually push down wallpapers to that default folder vs using an alternative wall paper method such as 3d gallery.
[G Tablet Android Development] elrafa_paez:
No, is not, i'm from venezuela and i think i'm one of the few who have this device in my country... i don't kmow why people has to be like that, but thanks for the support!
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
dalviks cache? I wiped in cwm, but what is this and where do I find it?
[G Tablet Android Development] jfholijr:
You're welcome.
[G Tablet Android Development] jacindc:
I went from b3 to b5.1 (nothing between) with only a cache wipe. All looks Fab so far, with the only app acting weird being AOL AIM. Cleared its data using Titanium, and all is fine there.

Does seem speedier, like others are reporting. Thanks to gojimi and all the vegan devs! You guys rule.
[G Tablet Android Development] elrafa_paez:
Thanks! I hope everyone can understand what i write! My english is not perfect!

[G Tablet Android Development] elrafa_paez:
I'm not sure yet if upgrade to beta 5.1...so can someone recommend wether or not to upgrade?
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
Simplest way to know is to make a backup with clockwork. Then make a backup of all your apps with Titanium. Then install 5.1 and see if you like it. If you do, then you can restore your apps with Titanium. If you don't like it then you can just restore the backup you made with clockwork and be back to what you have.

I like 5.1.. It has all the patches built in, has the CIFS stuff in it so I can see the stuff on my server. They get better and better with each Beta...
[G Tablet Android Development] elrafa_paez:
And the issues with angry birds? Do you have it? The no sound problem?
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
I don't have the sound problems, and Angry birds restored from my titanium backup just fine.

Make sure you do the 3rd, and 4th items on the main menu of clockwork (the ones that say wipe) and you likely won't have the issues either.
[G Tablet Android Development] rickyt63:
My videos are gone too.

Put back 1 video + created a ".nomedia" file in sdcard2 = video file is gone also. :(

This issue has been with Vegan B4 also. TnT_Lite 3xx has no video deleted issue.
[G Tablet Android Development] fragilio:
battery at 100%?

Build is working pretty well. So far the only issue I've noticed is the battery stays at 100%.. happy to troubleshoot it with some guidance..

Regards thanks, great rom.

Mine spontainiously reboots. Not terribly often but enough to take notice.
[G Tablet Android Development] ronhoney:
5.1 wouldn't flash for me; indicated zip was "bad". Had to wipe, reflash B5.0, & restore apps from backup.
[G Tablet Android Development] thebadfrog:
Your download was probably corrupted
[G Tablet Android Development] jacindc:
I've been using my tab all night, getting concerned that the battery meter was now stuck on 100% as well...

... Until I just looked down and realized it's plugged in. :)

Happy New Year to all!

That's Funny! Happy New year!

It works

I just tried out your instructions, and it works on a share folder I set up on the root of the C drive.

Thank You!

Just one question...

I have my files on "H:\ video storage" folder, but after searching the web and trying every suggestion, I can't get the file path right.

Is there a way to mount the H: drive folder?
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
The way I got my stuff to work is like this..

First, in CIFS Manager I went into the settings menu and set my mount point prefix as /mnt/sdcard/cifs.. That lets me see my shares as a folder in the sdcard directory.

Then I setup my shares using the IP address of the shared pc followed by the share name like this for example... 192.168.0.109/videos...

The next line "Mount point" should fill in by itself. Add your username, and password. I do not have a domain so I left it blank.

Save the share and then tap the share you just created. The little x to the right should turn green, or whatever color your rom makes things.

From then on you can go into say ES file explorer and look in the sdcard folder. You should see a cifs folder that when opened will have your shared folder you just created.

I used the /mnt/sdcard/cifs mount prefix so programs that only see as far as the sdcard can have access to your shares. Poweramp is my music player and it now sees my shared folder.

Hope this helps...
[G Tablet Android Development] jacindc:
Having an issue with the Market. I seem to have a pretty complete market, but my My Apps list shows only my purchased apps. If I search for apps I've downloaded and installed, they correctly show that I have them installed, but they still aren't on my My Apps list. (I actually saw my My Apps list go from a complete list to purchased stuff only.)

I've done the market fix about five times (though I never have the option to clear cache for the market). Guess it's not a huge deal, but it is bugging me. Hoping to avoid a data wipe.

EDIT: And now they're back. Maybe it was a New Year's glitch.

Every time i come back to the tab it is off and have to restart what gives

Just flashed 5.1beta from 4 final .Everything works great !! Thanks again:D

Bluetooth works but after send files succeeded that will get FC :confused:

MATES...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] Frrrrrrunkis:
Well I Just switched to the vegan 5.1 from TNT lite 2.2. I just wanted to say thanks to the Devs for both ROMS, but Vegan is so much more responsive to me than tnt 2.2.

Can't wait til ya'll figure out how to make the mouse part work again!
[G Tablet Android Development] NMCBR600:
Any chance of getting nfs support for those of use who are Linux users? Happy new year to all and many thanks to those working on the roms.
[G Tablet Android Development] Andronick:
I get an "out of memory" error...

I used rootexplorer to add a shared folder at the end of mnt/cifs

Enabled that in cifsmgr

Tried with the box checked and unchecked in settings (4th line)

The session I used is unprotected, so pword field is empty...

Any ideas?
[G Tablet Android Development] ncc1701vash:
ok am i the only one with this issue. all apps worked on v4 then wiped data and catch installed v5 and half of my apps wont install. mostly games angry birds, angry birds sessions, labyrinth ect...

this has happened on a few of my android phones and the fix was to nandroid back to a working version and then re install the new version. the problem is i didn't create a nandroid backup.

anyone have a different fix or can upload a nandroid backup i can install to ?
[G Tablet Android Development] LRiley:
to get mouse support you have to remove g sensor patch...on the first page
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
Didnt try anything other than reloading them. I did avoid the stock video player and tried using mvideoplayer only. It didnt help - they stayed a white but are gone again.

If there arent any dependable fixes for this, im either gonna roll back to beta2 or change over to tnt lite. Is there a fix??
[G Tablet Android Development] rickyt63:
Is there a fix? not that I know of.

Going back to TnT-Lite V314 for now.
[G Tablet Android Development] Frrrrrrunkis:
Yeah I know, I meant having both together. I wish I knew more about how to program this stuff.
[G Tablet Android Development] elrafa_paez:
Why vegan erase all videos and images from the microsd and the tnt roms doesn't do that?
[G Tablet Android Development] mhart032:
did you use titanium to back up all your apps? it works great with everything. ive been using it since i got the gtab and someone posted it back a few months ago. like October. i keep a backup of the apk in my downloads its the first thing i do when i install a new rom. it backs up everything you want it to. though i dont reco restoring apps that are already insitalled in the vegan rom, you can how ever restore your data just dont restore the actual app.

Matt
[G Tablet Android Development] SpinKix:
Same here, but it seems to wake OK if I click the power button really quick and wait a bit. Hold the button too long and it reboots.
[G Tablet Android Development] SpinKix:
Thanks for the response Sprdtyf350,

Here's my dilemma...

I use a SageTV media server to record TV programs.

The video files are stored on drives G: and H:.

I set things up as a test on C: drive the way you and rcgabriel described:

Cifs Manager:

Settings / Mount point prefix: /mnt/cifs/shared (created folder named "shared" on gTab)

Share Path: 192.168.2.109/share (video file in folder named "share" on server C: drive)

Mount Point: /mnt/cifs/shared

Username: Username

Password: Password (Just to have something in there per rcgabriel's instructions)

Options: domain=android,rw

The folder mounts just fine, and video plays as if it were on the sdcard.

But no matter what I try, I can't get the path right, and G: and H: drives to mount.

I've been searching and trying various Linux, and Windows configurations for hours.

All the examples seem to be accessing folders on the C: drive.

Is it even possible to access other drives using CIFS?

BTW, my goal is to transcode high profile h.264 and stream over CIFS. Converting to MP4 is a pain.

VLC or Flash have not worked out for one reason or another.
[G Tablet Android Development] flashlight1:
5.1 seems much more responsive in every way, especially after sleeping. Hopefully we can get g sensor and working mouse at the same time some day. Other than that my only complaint is still the volume for headphone jack is outrageously loud still even at the first notch of volume bar.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Thats weird. Sounds like your apps to sd isnt working. Not sure why - it seems to be fine for other people. We had to fix it in the source code that Viewsonic sent us before it would work in our kernel builds but nobody has reported issues with it not working since we fixed it....
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
I'm gonna try this for the issue of the G-Tablet/VegaN deleting video files.

I know this is ignorant but...when you say

A

blank file - just any file type (notepad, jpg)? Does it have to be of a ceratin filetype?
[G Tablet Android Development] rickyt63:
Deleted video files on sdcards2

I've tried ".nomedia" method but video files still get deleted.
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
I saw that you had done it, so I wanted to make sure there was no other 'secret' to getting it done.

Does it matter WHERE you put the files on SDcard2? I have mine in sdcard2/media/video, where did you put yours? Do they also get deleted off of the internal SDcard?

I've thought about reloading in other locations around the external card and see how they fare in various locations. I use mVideoPlayer so I can go into preferences and list the various locations for it to find them.

No matter what though, I'm probably not gonna be brave enough to carry this on my week long trip with Beta5.1. I need my movies for long trips!

As a side note, I don't recall the app 'Videos' being on Beta2. Is there any chance this has anything to do with the deleting of files? Is the Videos app in TnT lite (which reportedly doesn't have an issue with this?)
[G Tablet Android Development] smileyscout:
I can confirm the video deletion strangeness. I updated to beta 5.1 from beta 4 by wiping cache only. I had video files in two different directories on the external sd card. They were *gone* :eek: when I checked this morning (no lag on wake though :D :) ;) ).

The videos I just transfered to my external sd have persisted through a restart. I'm betting the bug is related to beta 5.1 somehow.

EDIT: When I upgrade video was deleted from:

/sdcard2/Anime

/sdcard2/VIDEO

...well suck a nut the two files I just stuck in VIDEO are gone again... How.I.Met.Your.Mother.S06E10.HDTV.XviD-LOL.[VTV].avi and Sanctuary.US.S03E01.HDTV.XviD-P0W4.avi have been auto-nommed. Good thing I don't really watch video (other then YouTube occasionally) on tablets. ^_^

wifi disabled on wake up

First of all thanks to the dev team,this ROM rocks

I updated to the latest Vegan 5.1 (beta), mywifi never gets connected after waking up from sleep , i have to manualy go into settings and connect.

I noticed this behavior in the stock ROM (TnT 3389) after loading the G sensor fix too.

Before doing the Gsensor removal patch,has anyone observed this behavior

thanks again
[G Tablet Android Development] mmracing:
Darn, I thought I was the lucky one. I rebooted several times yesterday after flashing b5.1 and my pictures and video files were all there. This morning I booted up and they gone. Looks like I have been hit with this bug now. /cough

But you know... I'll take a little bad with the greatest ROM ever. Thanks to all the Devs for their work.
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
mine is inconsistent, but if it does connect, it is definately slower to connect that Beta2 (which is what I upgraded from)
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
did you happen to retry the anime folder and/or do the .nomedia 'fix'?
[G Tablet Android Development] Myxomop27:
A blank file means that it is an empty text file. You can obviously rename any file to .nomedia if you choose. This solution is actually working for me when I put a .nomedia file in the two folders where I have the AVI files. It did not work with a file just in the root directory of the sdcard2.
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
Thanks for that. How long have yours retained? I will try this and report back. Since yours works- what is the filetype? I will try a .txt file from notepad.
[G Tablet Android Development] Myxomop27:
Yep, get a text file and rename to .nomedia. This solution survived two ROM flashes, from 4 to 5 and then 5.1
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Root cause (one way or another) would seem to be the Advent Vega rom, since it does not have two storage locations. Appears to be an apparent file conflict and how the system is managing them.

I asked these questions in another thread, but:

1. Are the files gone, even when pulling the card and reading directly with a computer?

2. Were the files transferred using the Gtablet, or directly with NO Gtablet interaction using a computer and reader?

Physical deletion of files if they were placed on the card with NO Gtablet interaction would be extremely odd and a tad dangerous.
[G Tablet Android Development] jhoelz:
gmail problems for anyone else?

Using two different Google apps accounts I have noticed that auto sync seems unreliable. Google accounts should sync when the tablet starts and it seems for me that I don't see new mail until I actually start Gmail. Shouldn't that service start automatically? I had also noticed some instances where it took quite a while for mail to show up even with the app running.

Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Running 5.1 on a clean install.
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
1. They are physicall abssent - even when pulling the card and viewing on a PC

2. No interaction required. I knew of the bug, so I would check on them occasionally. I updated to 5.1 at 5pm, put the files on at 7pm and they were missing a few hours later.
[G Tablet Android Development] Andronick:
sd2 absent from settings

Aha! So it is a known issue that sd2 does not appear in settings/storage... It appears in estrongs, astro and ifiles though. How do we safely unmount it or removal then? Is there an upcoming fix for this?

Noticed another issue this morning: when trying to access device info in settings, I get a force close of android services. Nothing major, but just so you know.

Last question, is there any point of doing the tscalibration fix posted in another thread with vegan 5.1? The calibration.ini file is absent from the sdcard.

As usual, keep up the good work and BTW, best wishes to everyone for 2011:)

VEGAn B5.1 issues i have encountered

These are issues i have encountered in VEGAn B5.1 and just for developments sake i wanted to note them before i do work arounds or re-flashes...

* Sleep *

Tab shuts down after extended sleep time (2 - 4 Hours +) never did that before

* Smart Keyboard Pro *

System will not let me load any other keyboard other than the Android, i'm a user of Smartkeyboard Pro and typically after any settings change it asks you if you want to re-start SKP currently it does not do this and does not load the keyboard.

* Android Market *

EVERYTHING i have tried to download from the market has required atleast 3 - 5 attempts, granted eventually the apps D/L but its a bit of a PITA

thats a start... but i just want to see if its something simple like a wipe and re-flash

i just wanted to let the devs know ... because the way i see it as they get closer to an RC the things that have become second nature to us as early adopters are not necessarily as cut and dry to new people...

hell i've just been reading everything incase i encounter something so i can work around it and i get just as flustered but im not scared cuz im confident i know i can fix my mistakes or find out where i could .... others are not so confident / bold...

G-TabDevs - - - your awesome keep up the good work :D
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
I have reloaded my movies back onto SDCard2->media->video along with a .nomedia file from notepad (.txt). They are showing up, but I just discovered that I have no sound from several files (the only one that I'm getting sound from are .mp4's, others are silent - even with headphones). I have checked all volume settings and they are fine (presence of sound form .mp4 confirms as well)

Let's see how long they stay!
[G Tablet Android Development] rickyt63:
- With TnT-Lite ,when I put ".nomedia" in root dir of sdcard2, all video files, mp3 files cannot be seen from video player as well as music player. Remove it and they are all show up in video/music player. May be ".nomedia" work in root dir only for TnT-Lite?

- Anyway, will flash back to Vegan B51 ;) and use your suggestion.

Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
one reboot, and they are all gone.
[G Tablet Android Development] sincerity:
Nice tip...i was not being patient enough
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
".nomedia" is not a fix, it's a band-aid. It basically breaks the ability for the device to scan the microSD.

I use it because I'd prefer this over losing all my media files. I can run videos off File Manager, and music from a directory-aware app like Andless or Rockbox. Plus, with CIFS, I find myself using directory browsing even more.

The three you just mentioned do not install in /data/app - two go into /sdcard, and the third I have no clue (was trying to figure that out, yesterday). The kernel in beta 5.1 might have that old AB install issue, since VS gave us an older source. Try the old trick of mounting /sdcard to your PC and then installing AB.

I've had this for over a week and nothing's been deleted (yet). Did you make sure it's ".nomedia" and not ".nomedia.txt"? Notepad has a tendency to do that, from past experience.

Correct, it's absent - it would need to be added in a future build. For now, the only "clean" way to remove the card is to shutdown the device.

Calibration is only recommended if you have dead zones - you'd need to create the INI file yourself to activate the calibration (on the next reboot)

A data wipe is always recommended between betas - especially this one given that the framework was updated.
[G Tablet Android Development] short/y:
FWIW, I didn't wipe /data but I wiped cache and dalvik-cache. Was on Vegan-B4 and,have been on 5.1 for a few days. No problems here and Angry Birds works just fine.
[G Tablet Android Development] Diesel74:
I understand that and did so prior to the initial install of vb5 & vb5.1 but i also relize that for whatever reason ~sometimes~ it may even take several attempts to get things to "take" . . . is it right no... is it neccessary... sometimes ;) but its my bad for not stating that i did do a FULL wipe, I'm currently piecing my tab back together as i typical do after completely wiping it out and i'll see if i have any of the issues again. . . Soon i'll be able to to this while sleeping :D
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
the filename is cetainly .nomedia but it is definitley a .txt. I assume you mean fliename specifically here because I have no idea how to remove the designation of .txt.

To confirm: I pull out my memory card and the video folder is cleaned out - except for the .nomedia file which is apparently off the video's gremlin's diet.
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
where is this found? I wipe only w cwm, am I missing a step? Everything runs fine except for the media issues.
[G Tablet Android Development] thebadfrog:
dalvik cache is wiped in clockwork under the advanced tab
