[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkr123:
Those benchmarking programs really don't give you much of a picture of overall performance, and things like filesystem caching can have a HUGE effect on filesystem benchmarking. Don't read too much into benchmarks, ext4 is NOT going to give you any magical new telekinetic powers. Its performance is *very* similar to ext3 (which you already are using).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wayde187:
The cm7 gb roms are ext4. You have to upgrade cwm if you want to back up and restore them but you can't flash back to a froyo rom from a gingerbread rom unless you flash back to the old cwm recovery. So, yes there are ext4 roms for the g2 but they aren't making the phone perform marginally better than an ext3 rom.

I just got auto update from TNT. Anybody tried it so far? What are the changes?
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
First we've heard of it here. I bet they patched the kernel up with our lag fix though. :)
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
I'm not seeing an update on the notification either...

Jim
[G Tablet General] Skempo:
I am not seeing an update either.

This seems to work:

Not sure if we should get it yet though?

Can the OP check that with a "uname"?

Hi,

Sorry about that. I had tried two different links, but I guess I copied the one that didn't work. Try this?

Much better...that link is downloading

If anyone gets it installed, please check stock quadrant scores. Hopefully the performance pack is included.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Hard to say what this is. The notes on the TnT updater on my emulator haven't changed.
[G Tablet General] gujjulive:
How do I check stock quadrant scores? I just installed it.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Need the app called Quadrant from the market.
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
Supposedly there is no change in quadrant meaning it must have some other change in it.

Edit: I'd hold off on flashing the enhancement pack unless you are adventurous. It probably needs a little modification.
[G Tablet General] lsu205:
Install quadrant from the market. Stock wasabout 1800 mods/ROM 2400
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hey, unless somebody beats me to it, I'll be the guinea pig :)!!

I was already going to go back to 3053 stock, so what the heck....

I've already downloaded the update, so I'm moving the file over to my Gtab...

Jim
[G Tablet General] gujjulive:
After doing factory reset, it's 1750.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
My emulator is showing the update - so either they leaked another UAT (which is very possible) or this is a real official update.
[G Tablet General] gujjulive:
Second time it's 1831.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Since there are no notes on the Viewsonic website I think this is going to be like 3316. They make changes, throw it out for a little bit and use the Guinea Pigs, I mean us... to test it... Then a week later or so they will advertise a new update..
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
The notes in my TnT updater in the emulator still say the same stuff. I think it's another 3316..
[G Tablet General] lsu205:
Have you tried the enhancement pack?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
new kernel (svn 16). Several app and framework files were touched since 3389.

If this stays as official, we could be seeing TnT Lite 4.0.0 in the near future. However, given that the build.prop is showing 01/03/11, I doubt it's official.

Edit -- going back to old stock. assuming this still pops up, I'll make a screenshot.

If this ends up being UAT again, I'm going to make a stink - they shouldn't be sending these out to end users. What if a non-XDA user gets this and it has a major bug?
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
It may have been me but I tried twice to install clockwork after updating to this update and couldn't get clockwork to install until I rooted
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
Here is a generic performance pack with gapps, if anyone wants to use 3452. No modified boot.img(no adb remount), and no gsensor fix.

http://www.multiupload.com/6IFY1JDSJQ
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Next time maybe do the magic trick. Unzip the update. Start at Meta-inf and dig through the path until you come to updater-script. Then open it and remove the line that references recovery. Save, and zip it all back up. Install from clockwork, and clockwork will still be there.:)

Don't I sound smart? Well, I'm not:o I learned all that from Rothnic. If you use a cool free notepad replacement called Notepad ++ it makes this really easy. Rothnics recommendation again...
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
Haha, yeah do this...

If it is true that it won't update from the stock recovery, that means they specifically edited the default.prop in the recovery.img. That is kinda a strange for wanting to be open. Would need some more to verify it first before getting to jumpy about it though.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Thanks for reminding me :D

Never crossed my mind. Forgot about that completely. Got root, installed cwm and am back to vegan for now. Didn't see anything obviously new and I don't want the lag back.

[G Tablet General] roebeet:

[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
That is what I see and I don't see where they are listing anything different. Your right, they should not send this stuff out to everyone. Maybe we at XDA are under surveillance.. They have our number.. Oh no! A conspiracy.. I love it.....

Seems to be the thing these days to have everyone be free Beta testers. I don't mind, but I bet non techie people might.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
What does "version 1.1" in the screenshot refer to?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
My point, exactly. I obviously don't mind getting them (and even prefer to get UAT updates, if they chose to do that). But there's no rhythm or reason here and it's very likely that other end-users are probably getting this update as well. If this is another UAT leak, it's really something they should fix in the future.
[G Tablet General] gujjulive:
Yup. I was playing with my gtab and thought put clean stock rom and use TNT enhancement pack. I was playing with ubuntu but it's not ready for prime time.

I agree. Viewsonice should be little careful putting update like this if it's not official update.

off topic but it would be nice to have dual boot rom. Want to play with 1 boot and other for ....
[G Tablet General] Alpha06:
On the plus side the units get updated faster. Considering the horrible state the G-Tablets came in last month (software wise), I can see why viewsonic is pushing for rollouts (assuming this was intentional). I also see the negative possibilities, it is a finnicky device (in my view...or perhaps that's just Android)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's an internal TnT version - you'll see it on their full TnT version number, in "About Tablet", in stock.

Btw, 3452 i still showing up, as of this moment. The last time they pushed a UAT version, i had it available for at least 24 hours before it was pulled - that's was on the 19th, as I recall.
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Yeah, I think this is a test release with some of the kernel patches we found here at XDA rolled in.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
nice! I've actually been testing media deletions and, so far, I have been good. I wonder if the lag fix is in there.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Seems to be working OK so far... better than 3389 at least :)!
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Everyone,

Did anyone else notice that the download for install has a /data directory in it that have don't think I have seen in the ROMs we usually install.

I has a couple of Angry Birds-related files in it.

Did any of you that installed 3452 wind up with a new Angry Birds and did it work right?

Rev
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
I installed last night, but AB looks the same. Maybe the VS development forgot to remove that from the update.zip.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Good News, I Think!

Has anyone besides me noticed that even with upgrades, installs, etc. -- I don't seem to have to do all the clearing and deleting, etc. we used to have to do to keep things stable.

I had 3316 on my stock test machine and took it to 3389 the other day. Haven't had a single glitch just using the software that already was on it. (Yes, I did have to run R4root and reinstall the SuperUser).

Just did 3452 earlier and so far so good with this one too.

The newer folks just don't know what they missed from back in November and early December!!!!

Rev
[G Tablet General] lsu205:
Quandrant score?
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
As reported earlier, about the same as stock, ~1800+/-.

Jim
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
The Angry Birds /data folder was in 3389, as well - it works with their recovery to add user apps when upgrading the firmware. We tried incorporating it with clockworkmod, but it didn't work, unfortunately.

Btw, I'm still seeing 3452 as an update option - I figured it would have been pulled by now, if it were UAT. hmmmmm.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Called CS today - seems that 3452 might actually be the final?

I still see the update, myself - is anyone else having an issue seeing the update, yet?

They don't know what they fixed yet, but they hope to get this information from TnT devs in the next day. I'm still hoping it's the SDCARD2 bug.

As for TnT Lite, I will continue to work on the prototype - mainly need to fix the framework.jar.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
When you say "They don't know what they fixed yet", by "They", do you mean VS? That'd be scary :)...

Also, based on what happened with 3316, it seems like the "real" OTA after the "fake" OTA would be some number higher than the "fake" OTA? In other words, since we're talking 3452, I'd kind of expect the next "real" OTA that shows up in Updater would be something >3452?

Jim
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Yeah, I meant VS (unfortunately). Customer Service hasn't been informed on what this update fixes, yet.

As for whether this 3452 is the "final" update, I have to go on what CS is telling me - and right now they are telling me it's a finalized version. I'm actually holding off on TnT Lite 4.0.0 on purpose, going on what happened with 3316 last month. I might actually still wait at least a day or two, as I don't want to get burned again.

help

hey guys slight problem... im new to android and withing the last month i have gotten this device as well as a Samsung fascinate and a droid x... all that is besides the point... i had vegan beta 3 installed on this device. i saw this post and decided to go back to TNT firmware with this 3452 update. after i fiddled with it for a bit i decided i wanted to try out TNT lite 3.1.0... tried to get back into clockwork and it acted like it wasn't there... tried re flashing clock work to no avail... i am trying to put clock work .08 back on as i have heard that that is the most reliable... can anyone help me to get clock work back on this beast?

Never mind... im an idiot... i had the update.zip for clockwork on the SDCARD as well i had a different update.zip on SDCARD2... i assume this confused the boot sequence and error-ed me out... all fixed now...
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Try rooting with z4root first and then install clockwork. I had the same problem for some reason
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I haven't installed it but it does still show up on the emulator. Like I said about VS customer service. They only know what someone else behind the Wizards curtain tells them. The Mushroom thing applies. Keep them in the dark, and feed um S#^%
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
I hadn't had my tablet on for two days. So, early this morning, when I read about 3452, I checked.

Nothing showed up this morning, and still nothing shows up right now. It still says that I am up-to-date with 3389.
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
I can't stop laughing... This is funny stuff... in a scary sorta way...
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Strange. I just looked at my emulator again and it is there. You can still download it here

http://tapntap.http.internapcdn.net/tapntap/viewsonic/update-smb_a1002-3452-user.zip
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's funny, but not in a good way. :) I'm still not convinced that 3452 is a production release, yet. This is driving me bonkers that there's no way to know for certain.

I really can't blame CS here - I don't think they are being told and they have to make guesses, just like I've been doing. I know that they have 3452 on their devices, but of course that means nothing - perhaps they get the UAT releases. Maybe this only goes to the web farm on the East Coast because TapNTap Inc. are too cheap to have a real UAT environment. I don't know.

I am working on 3452 as the basis for TnT Lite 4.0.0 and I will probably release this in the next 24 to 48 hours. But I'm still in a holding pattern, at the moment.
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
Since no one really knows anything about this "update", I'll hold off. So far I've only did the ViewSonic updates offered through their app, and have had success doing that. Except I did do the openGL "update" earlier.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Totally understand. Just seems strange why some see it, some don't. That download link is the same place your app uses to download the update.

I just wish VS would put the updates on there site. Like Roebeet has said before. What if your tablet was screwed up and could not connect to the internet? How would you update it then?
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
I think you're thinking WAY too much about this :)...
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Gentlemen:

I have downloaded and gone ahead and installed 3452. But at the time I installed it last night my tablet still showed as "up to date" when checking the OTA mechanism.

I don't think everyone is seeing what you are seeing -- for whatever reason.

[G Tablet General] vurnt:
new update not showing on my g tab too...... it say I'm up to date ......... must be a trial run!
[G Tablet General] Skempo:
I just installed 3452 and I am not impressed with the speed, seems slower and more jagged movement. 3389 with the enhancement pack was great.

I think I will finally try Vegan, 3389 was running very well.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I think a few posts up there is a enhancement pack for 3452 that Rothnic did the other day.

Here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10310401&postcount=25
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Yeah, the 3452 speeds with the enhancement pack / TnT Lite seem OK - my bigger concern is whether or not this is a legit release or not.

It's my nature to question and troubleshoot - I'm a sysadmin. :D
[G Tablet General] Skempo:
Installed the enhancement pack and all seems to be running great.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
I went ahead and installed the enhancement pack since I already have 3452 and will have to go back an OTA update or two if it proves not to be a real update.

Quadrant ran at 2401 for me with a pretty much "stock" tablet with only the enhancement. Market seems to be running well though I don't know enough about it to speak with authority.

To whoever put together the enhancement -- I like this on much better than the original that I complained a little about a while back. The thing I like aside from the performance gains and additional software is that you can hardly tell the machine is not completely "stock." And the performance is there. That's great. Thanks!!!!!

I cannot believe the G-Tablet has been brought so far. I'm already hearing about new tablets from the computer show -- and in fact got an e-mail from ASUS asking if I want to reserve a place for their EP1201 with the Intel "5" processor. But mercy, it will be $1100-1200 (almost half again what I paid for both of my G-Tablets.)

I have a feeling a lot of the new tablets will offer a lot, but will be really pricey.

[G Tablet General] anlog:
Did Viewsonic fix the lag with this latest release, or are people still getting the slowdown after suspend/resume?
[G Tablet General] hammermedia:
Seems to be fixed. I installed it last night and I've done 20 resumes so far.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
3452 was pulled, at least as per my emulator

Just a heads up - this is typical of them. There's probably another UAT out there or they are getting ready for a final version.

This is exactly what happened, last month.

[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
This is so sad. I ran my Nook Color from last Friday - Monday evening with WiFi on as much as possible and the stupid thing still NEVER got pushed the B&N update, so I just sideloaded it... ...but the poor gTab seems to pick up on new updates almost instantaneously and even if it didn't they were smart and put a manual app to check/initiate a fw update unlike B&N...

Too bad that they can't get their system under control and only release actual updates, although it could be that they release w/o enough(any? compile test?) testing then realize that they whoopsed on something...

(Not that I use stock any longer ATM, however you never know... might just grow up into something decent someday providing their funding doesn't run out...)

New tablets: All I can say was that I was underwhelmed from all the pre-CES hypemachine...

TnT: good luck. They'll need it along with a miracle ATM.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
I'm not bothered by what's going on.

Look at it from their viewpoint. They put out a "preview" of whatever they are going to release. A whole pile of folks who either are devs or power users or who have the ability to side-load it then run the software. If nothing breaks or nothing gets reported, they have just gotten very valuable field testing which will make the OTA smoother and better for the folks who can't do what we do.

I don't know much about the company or people doing the software, but since this is one of if not the first functional (insert irony here!) Android tablets, where else would they find testers with devices to do beta testing?

If the system was closed, I wouldn't do it. But since I can run something -- and if it doesn't work I can restore in just a few minutes -- hey, it's OK with me.

A question I often wonder about -- how many folks from TNT (??), VS, and even the Chinese companies which make the unit -- are mixed in here working with us or learning from us -- and we don't even know it? They'd be silly not to be paying attention!?!?

I have to believe this forum has had a huge impact on all of these entities which we likely won't know about until second-generation, really good tablets start appearing.

Selfishly, I'm just glad we have the opportunity for acquantances, friendships, fun projects, learning and all the other benefits we have realized from our G-Tablets and these forums.

Rev
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
I've been thinking about this UAT thing...

Thus far, as far as I've seen from posts, the only ones who've seen the unofficial updates via OTA are those who setup emulator with the VS software, right?

I'm thinking that maybe that's because that's how VS themselves test, I.e., they never expected anyone outside of themselves to setup emulator w the software...

Jim
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
jimcpl,

That's an interesting point!!!

I have downloaded all the stuff to set up the kit and emulator, but it's so complicated I just haven't jumped into it yet.

Rev
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
This is very possible - I may have inadvertently stumbled on their testing mechanism. Admittedly, I haven't used a physical device to check, since I have my mods on them.

On the emulator, I altered the build.prop to look like a GTab, but maybe they are checking a few things on their end for UAT. Like maybe the device model needs to be "generic" AND the keys need to be a certain way. Good point!

3452 was / is on the devices in Customer Service - they had mentioned that to me the other day.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Maybe putting on the "pre" UAT (emulator w/VS) is their "alpha" test, and then getting it on their CS devices is their "beta" test, or vice-versa.

[G Tablet General] guitar geek:
After I had reloaded the 3054 update last month I believe I have gotten all of the updates OTA. I do not have any emulators running. I have not updated the soft ware manually. I do have v2 enhancements. Basically I am running stock with root, flash, market, and enhancement.

The system says I have mahimahi:2.2/FRF91/43546:user/release-keys

Quadrant score 2388 before letting it sleep for 1 hour. 592 after being reawakened. I may be wrong but I believe this is a newer version than we have been discussing. I have not checked my updates this week. I only checked it this morning because of this thread. Hope this helps. :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brandito:
So i just noticed my 4g mac address is blank in hardware information and 4g refuses to stay enabled.

all i've done with the phone was root using unrevoked 3.3 (was actually the beta rc2) i installed a couple different kernels, 2 from netarchy, and one from ms (sbc guy)

i also switched from clockwork recovery to amon ra 1.8 and then to amon ra 2.1.1

i have a nandroid from just after i started flashing kernels using clockwork. can't seem to get clockwork reflashed and working now. it flashes in rom manager but can't get into recovery at all, goes right to the bootloader.

i also flashed a couple things from calkulin, mms compression fix, and 4 in 1 boot menu.

oh and after i first flashed ms's kernel and saw my camera stopped working i downloaded the stock kernel and flashed thgat, which didn't work and eventually nandroided back to my original nandroid backup.

what, if any of those things could have lost my mac address?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brandito:
little update, was able to restore my oldest nandroid from clockwork finally.

after some digging the xml file with my mac address is present in data/misc/wimax.

with my original nandroid i was able to keep the 4g radio enabled, however it wouldn't hold a connection. i don't usually get really good 4g at my house anyhow but usually if i stand near the front door i can get a weak connection, not the case now.

restored my most recent backup, xml file is there but when i turn on 4g it scans for a bit then shuts off. doesn't even keep the radio on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuggyunlimited:
I would go back to that nandroid and then try reflashing the setup with your 4g not working to see if that's messing up your 4g
