I moved all of my videos into a .nomedia (hidden) directory and they're still intact after a couple reboots.

I did venture to make a copy of my mp3s outside of the hidden structure hoping that they aren't subjected to the same abuse. I really like having my music accessible via the media scanner.
[G Tablet Android Development] g0t0:
I did it and so far so good!

THEEENNN.... I installed Rockplayer and BAM!! all gone...:-(

Might be the player. I'll install a dif one and see whats up..

Weird Audio Lag issue.

Okay hoping that if I post here that I might be able to get a fix for the issue that I'm having. I'm running Vegan 5.1.1 and using pershoots latest, (but this happens with all kernels). With my tab sitting on my dock and streaming a movie via UpnPlay and Rockplayer Lite. Movie starts out with about a 2-3 sec audio lag, and as movie progress audio get further behind until Rockplayer just decides screw this and stops playing audio. Have tried many different players and tried Hardware/Software encoding through rockplayer with no adverse effects. Now have tried several different roms and most all froyo roms do this with the exception of CM6.2. No ginger roms have this issue, but no ginger roms support cursor as does Vegan after G-Sensor Fix is removed. Love Vegan 5.1 and would like to get this sorted out. Also while movie is playing and tab is taken off of dock video will speed up and come into sync with audio. Once placed back onto dock process starts over and start losing audio sync. Any help on this issue would be appreciated. Have also used clem's kernel with cifs support and mounted using cifs manager and problem still exists.
[G Tablet Android Development] pimpmaneaton:
The home dock I believe that you are talking about is the same thing that shows if you go into your app drawer and select clock correct. If so there was a fix mentioned earlier about this(quite some time ago,possible before vegan 5 like in vegan 4 thread that no longer exists). Only some tabs have this issue and I believe the only fix is to use an app like root explorer and do to /system/app and rename the clock.apk to something like clock.kvs or even possible delete/move the clock.apk. Just so the system is no longer using/seeing that .apk file. As far as auto brightness go to setting-display-birghtness and check auto brightness or manually adjust. Belive can also be set with the Power control Widget.
[G Tablet Android Development] tatoone:
Thanks for your reply,

but whn i press home key i want see the home page of launcher and not the dock scree.

For autobrightness, in my setup/display this option is not present,

but in original Olivetti rom this option was present.
[G Tablet Android Development] pimpmaneaton:
If by dock screen you mean this. Then what I talked about earlier will remidy that. Need to rename,move,or delete clock.apk. If that is not what you are refering to then please attach a screenshot so I can better understand. And as far as auto brightness if not in settings then try through the power control widget included with the rom. The last toggle has brightness control and one is for auto brightness. Hope this helps.

Hello, I just move from TnT and I notice a problem, maybe someone told before...

The battery drain too fast when the gtablet is in sleep mode. This is too high in Roms like TnT and here is almost twice, it's about 1,5%/h

More or less 16% every night... I think it could be a problem in the sleep process maybe not every service go to sleep. I switch off Wifi, Sync and set CPU to minimum possible speed... and nothing. Also I try to get a log with "Current Widget" and I could see it consumes twice than TnT (TnT as I said is also HIGH).

I ussually use the tablet in home and I want to keep it alive days... just like an iPad.

Anyone know have any idea about this? Maybe if it's not possible to fix this someone could develop a way to "Deep Sleep" the tablet getting the possibility to switch on in second!

Thanks for the work developing this ROM, for reading me and sorry for my english ;)
[G Tablet Android Development] tatoone:
Thanks so much.

I have solved.

Thanks again.
[G Tablet Android Development] tatoone:
Other question, the auto brightness in setup is not present.

It's possible enable it?

Thanks.

OK so I know the .nomedia discussion has happened in a couple of places, but my frustration just hit a ceiling so I need to ask again. I have several folders on my external SD card with .nomedia files in them. Vegan respects five videos in one folder, and one video in another folder. If I put anything other videos in either of those folders, wham - they're gone. But the originals are still there. The five videos were copied to the Tab about six weeks ago and the single file was copied last night. The five files are .m4v and the single is .avi. I don't know if that helps. Just now I tried to copy a completely different file to the root of the internal card. I restarted to see if it stuck, and it didn't. Here's the messed up part: it was a 2.2Gb file and now even though the file is gone, that space is still being taken up. That's right, I'm 2 gigs short and nothing to show for it.

Oh, Vegan 7. When will you support video? Does anyone know how to solve this problem with Vegan 5? I mean, selective file deleting? Is that a bug or a feature?

Edit: OK, I thought it was too weird to be true with the missing 2 gigs crap. I guess the system just needed a second to recognize that it had stolen Blazing Saddles in glorious 720p from me. By the end of this little experiment that little green guy is going to have an extensive movie collection. :)

Edit Edit: OK all is good. I don't know how, but its ok now. I recopied the videos directly from the computer to the micro SD in a card reader and deleted the .nomedia files from the subdirectories, keeping only the .nomedia in the root Videos file. Huh.

Noob want to verify steps to load VEGAN

Hey guys,

So im getting my Gtab today and im super excited. I just wanted to make sure i have the steps right to load VEGAn 5.1.1.

Based on the forms people are getting the woot GTAB with firmware 3389. Once i get the gtab im going to turn it on and verify the firmware is below 3991 .

What do i do if its version 3991?

Where do i go to verify the firmware version?

If its 3588 im going to leave it and not update it anymore. If it is 3389. Im going to turn wifi on and wait for the over the air update.

Is that correct? Will the OTA update upgrade it to 3588 ? My worry is the OTA will get it past the 3588.

Once the OTA happens reboot and verify the firmware again to make sure its 3588. Then load clockworkmod 0.8 via internal sd card.

Reboot then place the zip file for vegan 5.0 and supplement 5.1.1 on internal sd card then reboot into clockworkmod again and then do a back up of my stock version via clockworkmod. Go into clockworkmod and load VEGAn 5.0.

Make sure to clear data and cache via clockworkmod before rebooting.

Once it loads reboot and load 5.1.1 via clockworkmod and again clear data and cache via clockworkmod before rebooting.

Then wait for it to load and install the market fix and load flash 10.2 from the market.

Please let me know if im missing any steps.

Do i have to install anything else that is needed or can i get everything from the market?

Which Kernel works best with VEGAn 5.1.1? I read some where clemsyn's kernels works best. Can someone please link me to the correct kernel.

I also read some where to install malware exploit patch? Is this necessary?

Thanks in advance. :):):):)

Gemni69,

The blog post I made over at my blog site may help with some of the basic questions. I am waiting to here from the mods if they think I should repost the steps here on XDA as many people have found it useful.

Flashing the Viewsonic GTablet with VEGAn ROM and fixing the Market

Note that I renamed the files in my tutorial with numbers at the beginning of the filename to make things more foolproof. In doing this though I had to copy the binaries to my server. If you do not trust me etc. you can always just download the files directly from XDA devs instead and just use the instructions I posted.

[G Tablet Android Development] Gemni69:
Hey stiphy, Thanks for the steps. It does make it much easier. Question i had is it doesnt have info on the firmware piece.

What do i do if its version 3991?

Where do i go to verify the firmware version?

If its 3588 im going to leave it and not update it anymore. If it is 3389. Im going to turn wifi on and wait for the over the air update.

Is that correct? Will the OTA update upgrade it to 3588 ? My worry is the OTA will get it past the 3588.

Also can i do a back up copy of the current stock rom after i do the Repartitioning on GTablet?
[G Tablet Android Development] stiphy:
Gemni,

If you are installing Vegan I'm not sure why the OTA update would matter. Vegan is wiping out the stock ROM so it would be replaced anyway.

Sean
[G Tablet Android Development] Gemni69:
Im going based on their warning on the post.

***ATTENTION IF YOU ARE COMING FROM A STOCK ROM PLEASE CHECK YOUR VERSION NUMBER. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT A LEAKED UPDATE FROM VIEWSONIC MAY BE IN THE WILD THAT WILL CAUSE ISSUES. IF YOUR FIRMWARE ENDS IN 3991 OR HIGHER DO NOT FLASH THIS ROM UNLESS YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH NVFLASH AS IT MAY SOFT BRICK YOUR DEVICE. AGAIN THIS ONLY PERTAINS TO 3991 or HIGHER TO OUR KNOWLEDGE AND MAY NOT EVEN BE IN THE WILD. BUT JUST INCASE I WANTED TO WARN YOU. IF IT IS CONFIRMED TO BE A RELEASE FROM VIEWSONIC I WILL LOOK INTO HOW TO MAKE THE INSTALLATION SOFT BRICK PROOF. ALL OTHER ROMS OR VERSIONS IGNORE THIS WARNING****

Every where i have read everyone says to get to firmware 3588 . humm...

Can anyone confirm that I dont have to do OTA update to get it to version 3588 if im going to VEGAN 5.1.1. Again this is based on if it has a version less than 3991.

Thanks in advance.
[G Tablet Android Development] stiphy:
Gemni69,

Sorry I had not seen that warning and none of the GTablet's I've worked on had that unconfirmed/leaked firmware. I'd say cross that bridge when you come to it!

Can we flash this rom with standard recovery ore only CWM?
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I've been recommending that new Woot! users go to stock 3588 first, just to get them to a stable baseline. The key thing is that 3588 gives you 3588 recovery, which might be a "gateway" recovery to future updates. It's one of those "better safe than sorry" things.

I know I don't poke my head in too often anymore, and I apologize -- just too many other threads and mods to deal with (I mentioned a few weeks back that I'd be stepping back from VEGAn).

gojimi built the ROM with clockworkmod in mind. So that's the recommendation.

Correct. So far, it's only been an unreleased UAT, to our knowledge. Still, users (especially the new Woot and TD users coming on board) should keep it in the back of their mind. There's a rumor (and it's just a rumor) of a new firmware update coming next week, but I'll believe it when I see it.
[G Tablet Android Development] tcrews:
3991 is an unreleased, unofficial firmware that was "found" and grabbed (but has since been removed so it can no longer be "found").

No known gtablet has been shipped with or has been OTA updated to 3991.

You only need 3558 if you are going to one of the ROMs based off the "found" 3991 firmware.

Whatever you are on now....as long as it is NOT 3991, you can go to VEGAn 5.1.
[G Tablet Android Development] stiphy:
Thanks guys for the clarification.

FWIW, I think I may have an old copy of 3588 somewhere so if it is hard to find then I can probably dig it up and post it.

[G Tablet Android Development] absorbers:
After flashing CWM 0.8 and Vegan OTA won't function?
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Correct. OTA is broken in all the mods, tmk. Even in TNT Lite.

Generally, if a new OTA comes out, someone with stock will report it in General and then we'll rip it open.

Is there a full firmware upgrade for 5.1.1 or do I have to install 5.1 and do the incremental 5.1.1 upgrade after that?
[G Tablet Android Development] BoulderGeek:
I did mine incrementally as printed above, yesterday.

EDIT:

I removed my previous question on finding the most accurate installation procedure for the custom kernels into VEGAn and other custom ROM installation.

As seen below, Sean (stiphy ) tells me that it is on his blog, but he doesn't include a link.

Here is the procedure that I followed to install Clemsyn's v7 kernel on VEGAn 5.1.1: http://www.blendblog.net/Blendblognet/tabid/36/EntryID/67/Default.aspx

Thanks for the excellent guide, Sean. And, thanks to all of the devs for taking recently less expensive hardware and bringing out its potential!
[G Tablet Android Development] stiphy:
You flash Kernel's the saw way you flash ROM's, using CWM. The post on my blog site breaks down flashing the kernel too (my procedure is using pershoot's).

Sean
[G Tablet Android Development] :
Ah, I was hoping for a 5.1.1 full version so I can be up to date all in one shot. Oh well, its better than running the stock rom. :) Thanks for your quick response.

Noobish questions

Alright so I should be recieving my G-tablet tomorrow. I am one of the

"WOOT!ers". So my question is if it comes out of the box with the "3991" firmware do I have to get it back to the "3588" firmware? and if so, before anything else install cwm? then firmware "3558" then the rom? and do these roms already come with the market fix? and if it doesnt come with the 3991 or 3588 are there any other safe ones? now question about the rom. do I flash this 5.1.1 vegan build then the supplement or this come with the supplement already? again sorry for the noobish questions. and thanks to all the people that make all these things happen
[G Tablet Android Development] stiphy:
I'd cross the 3991 bridge when you come to it, from what I hear it's very unlikely you will have a build with that firmware.

As I recommended earlier if you check out my very detailed step by step instructions on how I got my tablet's flashed at blendblog.net I think your questions will be answered!

[G Tablet Android Development] pgonza02:
Yes, that's what mine shipped with also. Just do an over-the-air update and it'll get you a newer one. 3588 I think, which seems to be what's recommended for most mods.
[G Tablet Android Development] michaeljc70:
I just got my G tab and loaded Vegan. I am really happy with it overall (have had an Android phone for almost 2 years) . I have a few things I can't figure out:

1) Why is there a phone icon in the 3 launcher buttons since this doesn't have a phone? Can I replace that with something else or do I need a custom launcher?

2) The soft buttons are hard to use in the dark. Is there any way to add icon buttons for menu and back next to the Home icon on the status bar?

3) I know this doesn't have GPS. But with GPS disabled and Use Wifi networks enabled under location, I thought it would find my location. It doesn't, and I am sure where I live there is data for that (And lot's of APs).

4) Are we stuck with the way widgets fit the screen until Honeycomb? My screen is pretty sparsely populated, but I cannot add anything else due to the way the they scale/Froyo works.

Thanks

Has anyone gotten Google Voice to successfully complete setup on this? I was trying out TnT Lite and it installed perfectly, but on this one it hangs at the voicemail setup part. Obviously it's not a cell phone, but I do get texts and voicemails on that number, would be nice to have them handy.
[G Tablet Android Development] hungarianhc:
+1 to all of these points. I just got my Woot tab today, and I quickly loaded up VeganTab on it. I have pretty much the exact same questions.
[G Tablet Android Development] toiday:
Anyone is using MicroSD card? I have a couple issues with sdcard2. When connecting the gTab to PC via USB card, I can only see the internal SD card from my PC. I can't see sdcard2 from my PC. I would have to full my MicroSD card out to copy files. I created a folder, Video, on sdcard2 and put some mp4 files in there. Every time I reboot my gTab, the content of /sdcard2/video got wiped out. There folder is still there.
[G Tablet Android Development] tcrews:
You need a replacement launcher to change the icons. LauncherPro is a good choice, others also use ADWLauncher.

On VEGAn, look at the top right of the screen. That is where the "on-screen" buttons for Menu and Return are while the Home button is on the top left.

This feature does not work in VEGAn 5.1.1.

The paid version of LauncherPro will allow you to resize widgets, I think the paid version of ADWLauncher does too. Both (free versions) will allow you to set the number of icons per row and column on the home screens so you can fit more than 4 x 4 icons.
[G Tablet Android Development] Rumbleweed:
Go to the market and get ADW launcher it allows much denser app/widget usage.
[G Tablet Android Development] Rumbleweed:
add an empty file in root of sdcard2 named . nomedia This should fix problem. Also question should be in general section.:o
[G Tablet Android Development] shimbob:
Is it me or is the ADW Launcher missing from the Market? I'm searching for both ADWLauncher and adw launcher but the only hits I get are themes.

Probably related, neither the Facebook app or DolphinHD browser show up.

Boot Animation

Love this ROM.

Just wondering if there is a way to change the Boot Animation.

I downloaded the custom one for Ginger Edition and edited it to make it shorter (so it only flashes up Vegan) but when I save it all as the zip and place it in system/media and reboot, no boot animation shows. Just a black screen.

The tablet still boots, but neither the original Vegan boot nor the custom one shows.

Anyone any ideas???

I would recommend posting your question in the boot animation thread. You'll probably get more help there.
