Ok thanks thebadfrog ! this is just the instructions I was looking for. I have only installed the Vegan rom but plan to check out others in the future and wasn't completely sure the steps to take. Thanks a bunch!!
[G Tablet Android Development] DireMerlin:
installed vegan great rom so far - but i seem to have a glitch/problem:

no matter where on the home screen i swipe down it brings down the notification bar (happens on all 5 home screen) - but i have to swipe up on the bottom bar to "close" the notification bar...

any way to make it just so the notification bar gets pulled down when you swipe down the top bar (with all the status icons for battery/wifi ect - like normal)??
[G Tablet Android Development] thebadfrog:
Try running the calibration fix.

Make an empty file named "calibration.ini"

Place it on the root of the sdcard

Reboot your tab

Don't touch the screen until its done booting

Delete calibration file

The notification bar is working fine on my tab.

First timer here,,, Can I simply install CWM and then this updated VEGAn 5.1 ROM ?? I have read everything over and over as well as watched some of the videos. I am not afraid to try it, but never having done it before it almost seems too easy.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
For those who have had the clock/weather screen on home button issue (ehunyadi and others) - I've figured out what the issue is and (roughly) how to fix it properly (i.e. without tearing out APKs from your system directories).

The issue seems to be that the G Tablet gets stuck in "docked mode", and the Vegan software has this behavior when it detects that the tablet is docked. I assume this is a remnant from the Vega ROM software, and I'm not sure if TNT Lite or other ROMs have this behavior, which might be why we only observe this problem on this ROM.

The specific cause may be something (dust, solder residue, etc.) causing a short in the port itself. I suspect this because I was able to solve the problem very easily on my new G Tablet with my new ZPad/GTablet dock that luckily arrived yesterday as well - all I did was plug the tablet into the dock via the dock port and then unplug it - the dock wasn't powered on or connected or anything special - just the act of plugging and unplugging it seems to have cleared whatever was causing the stuck bit. That was it - all of a sudden the undesirable behavior disappeared, and the home soft and hard buttons went back to functioning normally.

EDIT: This fixes the behavior but the fix doesn't seem to be surviving reboots, or at least not consistently. The tablet reboots and it goes back to assuming it's docked instead of undocked. I have to re-fix after reboot currently. I'm sure there's something we can toggle somewhere to force the "docked" indicator to false. I'll poke around later.
[G Tablet Android Development] thebadfrog:
Thats all there is too it. Good luck and enjoy
[G Tablet Android Development] DireMerlin:
well the touch screen works for everything else (i hear some people who had problems with PULSE news reader - selecting 2 articles to the left) - and i dont have that problem...or anywhere else...

just that anywhere i swipe down it pulls down the notification bar...so still go with calibration?
[G Tablet Android Development] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
This is the default behavior for ADW Launcher. Not sure about the default launcher though.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Yeah, I think what you are describing is the gesture support for "swipe down". This makes "swipe down" a gesture for launcher that always pulls down notifications. That's a feature, not a bug, as they say, but it sounds like it really annoys you. :)

I use LauncherPro on my G Tablet, it definitely doesn't do this, at least by default (though you may be able to configure it to). And in ADW Launcher, I know you can change this behavior (and almost anything else, if you dig around through the menus). I haven't used the default Vegan launcher in quite some time so I don't really recall what the behavior is there, but the stock launchers are generally less configurable than ADW or LauncherPro. There's also Zeam, which I've heard some people recommend, and even some other options if you check around at the home screen image thread in the General forum.
[G Tablet Android Development] bl1nd:
When I download VEGAn from here, i get a file named "gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.1.user.final.zip" So, all I have to do is go into clockwork do my backup, cache, the such. then point clockwork to that file? Because, inside of it i do NOT see an update.zip.
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
yes. Clockwork will use it as a .zip.
[G Tablet Android Development] bl1nd:
So, i just put the file I downloaded straight onto the SD card and flash that then?

*Nevermind. answered my own question*

Any word on the replacement for this rom?

Hi All,

It has been a while now since the announcement that development on this rom has moved to Gingerbread... any word on when we will see a thread with what is going to be the replacement???

[G Tablet Android Development] snarful:
I've flashed VEGAn 5.1 on my tablet, and everything is working without issue, except that it does not see my NTFS formatted thumb drive. I thought I had read that VEGAn supports NTSF---was I mistaken? Help, please.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
My understanding from a few weeks back is that you still need to mount it manually - it's not automatic like FAT32 / VOLD. As I recall, you need a manually mount it with the following syntax: mount -o umask=000 -t ntfs <device> <mount point>

(sorry, I don't use NTFS so I didn't jot it all down - I think it's buried in this thread somewhere)
[G Tablet Android Development] snarful:
Thanks, roebeet. I'll see if I can do a search of this--and other--threads. Maybe I'll also find out how and what it means to "mount it manually"--total noob here!
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
You have to use a file explorer program of some sort (like iFile) to navigate to the thumb drive & its files. you can then copy/paste what you want into the locations on SDCard that you want them to be.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Well, I don't speak for Roebeet, Rothnic and Gojimi, but several people are actively working on ironing out the issues in CyanogenMod 7 currently. Those need a bit more work before a heavily themed/modded version of CM7 which will make up the new Vegan ROM gets released, in my opinion.

Also, Gojimi had a bunch of issues getting the initial CM7 build environment up and running on his PC, so that probably set things back by a week or so.

There's been quite a bit of activity related to CM7 on IRC and if you look at all the CyanogenMod 7 builds floating around the forum now (by Rothnic, by bittrix, etc.).

So in short, I think a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff is going on right now. We can either be patient or chip in and help out. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] GTablet:
Hi rcgabriel,

Thank you for the update :D
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Agreed. I've been dealing mainly with TnT Lite as the Gingerbread stuff is heavy development work, which is definitely not my strong suit. I've always been better at packaging, troubleshooting and deployment.

I've also been lurking in the NIA forums, as I would love to get my hands on a dump of their Eve firmware. Maybe we'll get lucky this week, if it ships. :D

walkthrough

My tab should be here within the next hour. I want to put vegantab on it, but have one question: can someone please post a step by step with links for the clockworkmod download that actually works on this system (and HOW to root it?)? I have the VEGAntab file downloaded, and I know how to flash something once I have clockworkmod installed, but i CANNOT find which clockwork to use (i know its not the new orange text one), and i do not know how to root this device (rooted my Samsung Epic 4g with a .bat file that rooted and installed clockworkmod all in one click, so i dont know how to actually root).

thank you for any help!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] Prof-KOS:
Check here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245

It has links to the right CWM and a very good install guide.
[G Tablet Android Development] tcrews:
And you don't have to root your tab to put CWM on..... and with CWM, you can install VEGAn which already has root.

So install Clockworkmod, install VEGAn, done.

Adjust the spacing for the launcher that is used in Vegan 5.1

How can I adjust the spacing for the launcher that is used in Vegan 5.1. I’m able to place 16 icons on the screen by default but I would like to add more or change the spacing between icons so they are not so far apart.

Can you tell were to find the settings for the launcher?
[G Tablet Android Development] comhack:
I do not think you can do that with the default launcher on VEGAn. I personally use LauncherPro and it provides icon spacing and such.
[G Tablet Android Development] brocktice:
You can also use ADW launcher to adjust spacing.

Try clearing your cache in clockwork recovery. If that doesn't work try clearing data/cache. The second option will wipe your apps and data so make a backup first

Does anyone know how to get the option for Settings->Display->Screen Timeout->Never back? It seems to be missing with this ROM, the highest I can set it is to 30 minutes.

I can't get my unit to wake after being a sleep (sometimes for only 5-10 seconds, other times for 60 seconds but never longer than that) and need to be able to have it never go to sleep for now.

I've posted on the thread for this issue on the Gtab General forum called "G Tablet shuts down after going to sleep" with full system/data logs of what is happening when I hit the power button etc. I've tried to resolve this issue with every ROM as detailed on that thread, any help or assistance is much appreciated and I am willing to do whatever is necessary to try stuff here to correct the problem.

Thanks,

I think the never sleep setting is in application>development if I'm not mistaken

[G Tablet Android Development] babybacon:
You might try looking for an app or widget that does it.

i know extended controls allows toggling of "never turn screen off"

it costs money but is worth it. idk if there are any free apps that do this though.
[G Tablet Android Development] Luckymoi:
Yes that works but now angry birds does not instal!
[G Tablet Android Development] danielsjam:
Try - settings, wireless & networs, wi-fi settings, click on hard menu button, select advanced from bottom menu.
[G Tablet Android Development] stiphy:
I found a free app in the market called "Screen Timeout Widget" that works great to prevent the screen from turning off. So I can at least leave the Gtablet "on" all the time and not have to reboot. Of course this chews battery.

I really wish I could get to the bottom of the sleep of death issue. I wonder if there is a way to get some additional logging out of a custom kernel or something?

I may just return the unit and try another one as others have said this has worked for them...I think its likely that this isn't a "software" or "hardware" issue but one of tolerance where some hardware is behaving a little differently than others and the software isn't able to deal. Seeing as I have a unit in my hands that easily reproduces the problem if anyone wants to work with me on trying to find a solution I'd be willing to help in any way possible!

I saw that and I was happy and sad at the same time. With the Adam port, my life just got a little harder. ;)

[G Tablet Android Development] kampf:
I hope that it'll settle down to your TnT Lite as the "stable" ROM, CM7 as the more "experimental" ROM with VEGAn now sharing in that work, and the ADAM as a way-out-there option.

Now for Honeycomb :D

[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
Check the context (post #1116). The question was asked because it is an app specific interaction with this ROM but not others. with this ROM than with others (specifically mentioned as working with Cyanogen ROM). Since the question was based off of the fact that maps works with Cyanogen and does not with Vegan, the question was whether this was a known issue with VEGAN...which is a ROM question.

If he had asked the question in the APP forum about the interaction with VEGAN, he would have been ignored by the bulk of the forum participants as most run a different ROM.

Process acore

Hi,

I have avoided asking this question and working around the issue that I am having by reinstalling when it appears, but it seems that I need this tablet more and more for school and reinstalling is now becoming a pain.

I am using the Beta 5.1 release and from time to time, and it happens randomly from what I can tell, process.acore will crash and once it does, no amount of rebooting or wiping dalvik cache or anything will allow the ROM to recover.

The acore crash prevents me from reading any mail from the GMail app. It does allow the app to start, just not read emails.

I have found that I can only get rid of it doing a full reinstall. I am not sure if I am doing anything wrong, or if there's something for me to do to recover from the acore crash without reinstalling.

Also, I am using CM 0.8 and strangely I can't see the external SD card when I am recovery now. I was using 0.7 without any issues seeing my external SD card. Should I downgrade back to 0.7 or is there a fix?

Thanks
