I am a noob at this as well, but I did almost exactly what you are suggesting and it worked fine for me (minus flash which needed to be reinstalled). All my apps and settings seemed to still be there. Only difference is I used the update.zip option in clockwork instead of the update from sd. (edit: Since I am new to this I don't know if there are some potential negative ramifications to doing this instead of following the step by step instructions in the stickied install guide. If any advanced users see a problem with this please let me know.)

I had the same problem. I had done a backup with titanium backup before upgraded to Beta 5. I just restored the flash app and it started working again. If you didn't back it up I'm sure a reinstall would do the trick.
[G Tablet Android Development] Spectredroid:
Try This.

Just uninstall flash, and reinstall it. Should be good to go after that. Some browsers, ie Dophin HD(my fav) has a setting have flash plugin also, sometimes, or never on. You might check that too. Hope this helps.
[G Tablet Android Development] RuncaProfundus:
@Andronick - use titanium to backup your apps just in case. You dont need to flash anything after beta 5 as it includes the lag fix and g sensor fix. You dont need to rename the file just install zip from sd card and navigate to the folder you saved beta 5 in.

Location Services via Wifi?

Can anybody get Location Services to work in Beta 5 via Wifi? Like in Maps hit the location button and it goes to "Waiting for location" and then it goes to "Your Location is Unavailable".

For some weird reason, I now can't find ADW Launcher on Beta 5. Anything I'm doing wrong? I'm finding all the ADM Themes, etc, just not the actual Launcher.
[G Tablet Android Development] joedhimself:
Thank you for this wonderful update! I loaded beta 5 and I just saw that 5.1 dropped after I already got my tab set up with my apps, so is there a way to simply patch Beta 5.0 to 5.1 without flashing again?
[G Tablet Android Development] Andronick:
Ok I did it! Quite happy with the Vegan build. Looks more like my Milestone too! Did not clear user data or cache and everything looks fine. Reinstalled flash backup and it runs smooth. The setting icon still won't work though but accessible from elsewhere so no big deal.

Bravo again for the good job!

Thank you very much for VEGAn 1.00 beta 5.1. I installed it and was excited for the NTFS file support. I formatted my microSD card NTFS and put on a video and it doesn't see it. Does anyone know what size the sectors should be? Is there a trick to get it to see videos? Thanks for all the efforts.
[G Tablet Android Development] b0Ne83:
Just clear cache and flash over it. Always do a Nan backup first
[G Tablet Android Development] hailtothethief83:
Not sure... I just loaded and installed both Angry Birds with no issues. maybe do the market fix again

one tiny bug for the newly added "reboot" option in pop-up menu. Both the icon and the text are not aligned with others, kind of shifted to the right.
[G Tablet Android Development] elrafa_paez:
i'm going to try this beta 5.1 tomorrow, i hope in the release candidate or the final vegan, the dev team for our gtablets can fix the microSD card issues with files getting deleted from it, as far i'm using beta 4 with the kernel patch, g sensor fix and the calendar fix, and it's working perfectly including the games, so if this build does not have really good changes i'll probably stay on beta 4 (patched)....i will wait for everyone opinions on beta 5.1.....thank again for your good job doing all the ROMS...specially this one (THE BEST)....
[G Tablet Android Development] lapster44:
on beta 5

So far, it rocks...

Complete restore using Titanium - no issues yet.

Many, many thanks and Happy New Year!
[G Tablet Android Development] LMMT:
I had the same problem in the past, do the market fix and it should show up. At least, that's what worked for me.
[G Tablet Android Development] elrafa_paez:
can anyone explain me how does it work the titanium backup? i dont know if after i made a backup off all my applications and then do the data wipe and cache wipe do i have to install all applications again? or with the back up made with titanium i can restore them without reinstalling everything....

boot.img size increased to 16Meg in Beta5?

Hi gojimi:

I was able to load and install VEGAn Beta4 without any issue using CWM 0.8. However when I tried to upgrade to Beta5 I got the assert failed error pointing to the boot.img file. Later I examined the Beta5 zip file and realized that the boot.img size had increased to 16M big (when uncompressed), but in Beta4 the boot.img size was only 2.8M big when uncompressed. Do you know what the problem was?
[G Tablet Android Development] gotwillk:
so no one else is having volume issues?

also, calendar sync is not fixed yet i'm assuming. still getting gapps force closes every once in a while when i leave calendar sync on.

and is auto brightness going to be added in soon? really miss the auto brightness...
[G Tablet Android Development] bartonhen:
Just installed the latest beta and I too am having volume issues...I am getting no sound whatsoever from my gtab. Other than that everything looks to be running awesome! Thanks! Just fix the audio and it will be complete.

Facebook and phone.apk again

Sorry to post this again but I've had no replies.

I just received my new Zpad in the mail yesterday and have been playing with it ever since. I came across your software this morning and think it is absolutely amazing.

I've just got a couple of questions:

1. Is there a way to get the phone and 3g data working on this ROM? I have tried installing phone.Apk and telehony.apk with no luck. If this is all I need and if so can anyone suggest the best location to get them from.

2. Is it possible to link your Facebook contacts with your other google contacts?

Thanks in advance.

Possible Fix for Home = Clock Problem

On a lark, I decided to use Root Explorer to change the file extension on DeskClock.apk to DeskClock.bak. The file is located under /system/app. I re-booted the tablet, and both the hard Home button, and the soft Home button in the upper left hand corner now bring up my main ADW.Launcher page!

I'm hoping that this will be my first truly useful post! In any case, I haven't seen any weird issues crop up since making this change, so I'm calling it fixed.
[G Tablet Android Development] antoniouslj:
I would totally use this if it didn't have all the weird animations.

Is there any way to get the stock fade back or is this something Advent put in their VEGA?

For testing, I'll disable all animations, but it would be nice to have the fade back.
[G Tablet Android Development] laffer98:
I've been a lurker here, for a while, reading, learning, downloading and trying the different versions of TntLite and Vegan. Watching it grow into the something great you all hope it to be. So I finally had to say, "Hey great job" and "Thank you ,All! Without every ones effort here I would have never purchased the GTab, but you "ALL" made it a sweet machine and continually strive to make it better. It's amazing and your amazing....now back to my lurking....

[G Tablet Android Development] gojimi:
Thank you for CATCHING THAT! There was a compression issue. I am reuploading BETA 5.1 with a fixed boot image for everyone having troubles flashing. There is nothing new just boot.img. Look for the Title to change to updated 12/31/10.

Again sorry for the mess up.... everyone enjoy their holiday weekend.
[G Tablet Android Development] jmdearras:
I have.the same battery charge issue. Light goes green at 96%, and repeatedly removing and inserting the power plug can only nurse it to 98% Max.
[G Tablet Android Development] jfholijr:
I've quit worrying about the battery meter and just ignore it.
[G Tablet Android Development] thebadfrog:
It's a calibration issue. You can try resetting the battery stats in clockwork recovery. Let the battery die and plug in the AC power. Boot to clockwork and under the advanced menu you can reset battery stats. After the light turns green, wait about 30 minutes and boot into clockwork and reset the battery stats. I've seen people who have used one or the other or both methods and it has worked. None of them have worked on mine. It stops at 97% but the battery still lasts 8+ hours so I don't really care.
[G Tablet Android Development] Prof-KOS:
Hey guys love the updates for B5.1. I'm curious to know if there is a way to disable the capacitive buttons on the bezel. I'm constantly touching them by accident and without backlighting they're less than useful at night. I've gotten used to using the soft buttons and they work fine. For full screen apps I can use button saviour app.

Is it possible to do this?
[G Tablet Android Development] gotwillk:
my volume issue is that when i press the volume buttons, it only controls Media Volume. nothing else. so if i set the volume to lowest with the buttons, and i get a notification from my email or gtalk, it'll be super loud (which scared the heck outta me a few times btw) because Notification Volume is set to max in Volume Settings. the volume buttons are controlling Media volume only, which is annoying because i would rather that control the entire system's volume. i had to manually go into volume settings to lower my notification sounds.

it worked fine on b3, but ever since b4 i noticed this issue. now on b5 its the same.

and another thing is that the volume bars don't correspond to the actual volume level. if you move the bar to 50%, the volume is actually already at 100%. anything higher than 50% on the bar does nothing because the volume is already maxed out. so the notches on the volume bar, instead of going from 0-100 in 10 increments, is like 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100.

anyone else have this issue?
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
You can reduce the number of animations or disable entirely if you don't like them. I agree, it's a little over the top, but most people seem to like them. You can always go to Settings->Display->Animations and change to Some Animations instead of Show All Animations, I prefer that setting myself.

You can also rip them out from the theme jar file and put the stock fade back in. I don't think anybody has done that yet, though I thought about doing it myself. However, I've been too busy with real life and kernel hacking to worry much about it. :)

Beta 5.1 Rocks

I just updated to Beta 5.1 with no problems, things look great and everything seems to run perfectly. I'll be doing more testing in the next several days. I didn't have any issue (as far as I know) with the boot.img file, so I assume I don't need to move to the updated 5.1?

Thanks for all the work guys. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] jam40jeff:
The updates look great!

One question I have is for anyone that had the Home button starting the Clock app problem with Beta 4, does this issue still exist in Beta 5?
[G Tablet Android Development] mmracing:
Quick question on restoring with Titanium Back up and getting the market working after I move from v4 to b5 (I always do a wipe of data and cache). Should I do the market fix prior to using TB to restore my applications and settings or after I do the market fix? Or does it make a difference?
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
Are media files still being deleted form the external SD card w/ 5.1 or has this been fixed?

I recall seeing this as an issue and it has kept me at Vegan B2. I'm going on a week long trip starting Friday and have movies loaded on SD Card to entertain me on 4 flights, airport, etc.

The common sense side of me tells me not to upgrade until AFTER my trip, but the chronic upgrader sees that I'm 3 upgrades behind and I REALLY need to update!

Ridiculous, isn't it?
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
....also, how prevalent is the volume issue? Is everyone having it?
[G Tablet Android Development] festivus:
I posted a couple of pages back that this issue can be fixed by changing the extension on DeskClock.apk to .bak with Root Explorer. The file is found under /system/app. After making the change, just reboot and all Home buttons work normally. I noticed that a lock screen is introduced afterwards, and since I don't want a lock screen, I just installed No Lock from Market and that got rid of it. Not sure yet if after reboot whether I will need to run No Lock everytime.

Update: After rebooting, the lock screen initially appears, but if you just wait a moment as it continues to boot, it goes away on its own. It appears as if the No Lock settings are persistent, so long as you leave it in the Lock Disabled state.

With this Home button issue fixed, I couldn't be happier with the G Tab. Absolutely amazing work by the Devs!
[G Tablet Android Development] Rayan:
Volume problem here! :(

Edit: Correction, no problem here, the wife muted it hahaha..
[G Tablet Android Development] Allenfx:
Volume works for me.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Volume and sound is fine for me on beta 5. As with beta4, the volume rocker only controls media volume, so it's possible people may have other system volume settings set too low - just go into Settings->Sound->Volume to set system/notification volumes.
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
LOL,

What about the dropped external SD card files? Is that fixed?
[G Tablet Android Development] rickyt63:
Volume works fine.

sdcard2 video files retain. Reboot several times, still there. :)

G-sensor fixed works fine with asphalt5 (-90 degree before).

Soft home button works fine.

Thanks all gtab-devs for great rom
[G Tablet Android Development] hailtothethief83:
No volume issues to report here. V5.1 running rock solid so far for me!

....what about the Angry Birds install? I can't go w/o the Birds!
[G Tablet Android Development] DaMan:
Hi,

Is asphalt5 working for you in fullscreen?

I updated to beta 5 and got the android home screen too. I uninstalled clock 2.2 and now it's fine.
[G Tablet Android Development] hailtothethief83:
Angry Birds works here no issues
[G Tablet Android Development] birchs:
I restored my Angry Birds from my titanium backup and it works fine on 5.1. I believe the backup was from 5.0.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Angry Birds both installs and works fine on this beta. I installed beta5 over beta4+lagfix kernel with no issues.

*If* you have any issues with Angry Birds after this update, my suggestion is backup your Angry Birds data in Titanium Backup, uninstall then reinstall Angry Birds in Market, then restore just the data in Titanium Backup.

There may be some very subtle differences in how the loopback device on the SD card works vs. in the original Viewsonic kernel build because I had to reverse engineer their configuration settings for it (and I believe rothnic merged in my config changes to his kernel build).

In summary, Angry Birds and other apps that utilize SD card install work fine in beta 5, but if they were installed to SD card in an earlier ROM (Angry Birds is one app that generally does this that lots of people have), they may need to be re-installed as I described above if you're using a /data partition from an earlier Vegan ROM.
[G Tablet Android Development] DaMan:
BTW, now that we have ntfs support, my gtab still can't read USB ntfs drives only fat32.

Anyone know why?
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
If you check out rothnic's thread on his CIFS/NTFS kernel, I believe NTFS still requires a manual mount command to be issued. Unless he's fixed that issue since...
[G Tablet Android Development] DaMan:
Thanx for answering.

Uhmmm...yes i remember reading about mounting. I'll give that a try.
[G Tablet Android Development] rickyt63:
Yes it is. Full screen in landscape.
[G Tablet Android Development] vectorcharlie:
Nope, but I follow this site for a while now... And follow the rules. It is very clear that this is for developers and not tutorials... That is why I try to search before posting.
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
Thanks for all of the advice you guys are providing, I'm gonna go 5.1! Before I do, two of you have mentioned Titanium (I have the full/pro version) - I've not used it before outside of the Market Fix. When I do a backup, do I select "Backup all user apps"or "Backup all user apps + system data" ?

I'm not familiar with what system data would contain, but I would guess that might negaate the wipes I do when I install the new ROM??
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
That's correct. It's not plug and play - needs some manual command line syntax.

You can blame Google for that - VOLD is the tool used for mounting external devices, and it only supports FAT32. Yuk.
[G Tablet Android Development] Longsh0t:
My Asphalt only uses part of the screen (huge white space to the right and above). Also, button presses need to be made about an inch higher for it to register. I assume I'm missing a setting somewhere or is this how it is for everyone else?
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
I just do backup apps.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
I recommend just backing up user apps. Restoring system stuff that might come from an older ROM build is usually a bad idea so don't bother backing it up.
[G Tablet Android Development] jfholijr:
Good for you, so why are you moderating then?
[G Tablet Android Development] Rayan:
Files on external SD seems to be ok, however after about an hour of sleep, my Tab rebooted when I tried to wake it up. Bummer. :(
[G Tablet Android Development] DaMan:
Hi roebeet,

Tried your mounting commands as told in the cifs/ntfs thread but without results.

Do you have more suggestions?

Would be great to have ntfs support, it makes the vega beta even better.

Btw , new firmware on my archos 101 made it possible to read usb drives. Do not know how....
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Do not long press the power button.

If you short press it once, and it doesn't wake up, wait 2-3 seconds, and short press it again. Repeat once or twice if necessary.

For me, this always works - I haven't had a single incident of my G Tablet failing to wake up since the lag-on-wake fix.
[G Tablet Android Development] jhoelz:
Clean install of 5.1 and jpg files on sdcard2 are deleted on startup for me. Otherwise everything runs perfect. I did need to do the standard market fix twice before I could find ADW Launcher or ADW Launcher EX.

Volume does seem a little low for media.

[G Tablet Android Development] NCC1701-E:

[G Tablet Android Development] HorsexD:
Deleted Cache and factory reset then tried to install and No sound on 5.1 Beta
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Doesn't work for me, either. This kernel must have an issue - I'm getting "mount: No such file or directory", you seeing the same error?

Have you tried the headphone trick? (insert headphones, then remove) - there's another user with a similar issue. Not sure why this is not happening to everyone - I just installed 5.1 myself and so far no issues on my device.
[G Tablet Android Development] rickyt63:
Power off my GTab, removed sdcard2 and read in PC: all movie files (mkv, avi) are gone !!!! :(

Will add ".nomedia" file to sdcard2 to see if it fix.
[G Tablet Android Development] aaron19953:

I never ask for a tutorial about titanium backup, i just asked how does it work? Just that and if i can restore all my application after i backup them without reinstalling, never asked how can i use it or something like that! For how tu use it i can use i just use google and not people like you! But thanks!
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
Yes, you can make backups of all your apps and then when your new rom is installed you can restore them. It works pretty well and most things work like they should. I have occasionally had to fix a couple widgets or other little things but it definitely is a time saver. Just don't restore system data to a different rom.
