i thought the G5 was the n1 and the G7 the desire but that they are practically with the flex cable part being the exact same. identical, tbh i gave up with ebay and trying to be cheap and worrying if getting the right one so i ordered one off amazon for the G5.

if it doesnt fit atleast it should be returnable.

[G Tablet General] butchconner:
New Users and folks New to Android:

First let me say, "Been there. Still working on it!" :) But on to some practical suggestions and comments:

1. If you are new to all this, don't try to move too fast. Read these forums and you will find many messages saying "I don't know what I am doing, but I just finished doing it all and my tablet looks dead! Help?!" If you are new to all this, read these forums for a good while and make sure you understand before you leap. Definition: A "good while" is not minutes to an an hours -- how about a day for experienced Android people and a bunch more for the rest of us.

2. Learn the factory setup first. I can understand some of the early adopters moving too fast because the early gtabs had a mess for software and some of it worked really poorly. But whatever you buy now should flash to OTA (Over the Air Update) 3389 fairly quickly, and it is usable. You can use it to find out where all the settings, bells and whistles are to get what you want done.

3. Go a step at a time. When building computers or working with software, it is always better to work with and prove something before introducing complications. If you are burning a ROM (say CWM -- ClockWorkMod -- for example), don't just install it and move on. When you get it installed, learn it and test the functions and see what is there to be used -- before moving on. If it's not working right or you don't undestand it, don't move ahead -- look for answers or fixes.

4. Read the manual. Learn what you can from the paper and online manuals. There is a Vega site -- I have a thread posted in "Development Forum" which tells where the manual for the Vega tablet it and it does a fair job of introducing the Vegan ROM look and stock features. Viewsonic's G-Tablet site also has this kind of info. And the devs here have put together countless FAQs, guidelines, etc........

5. When things don't go right, take a breath and don't panic. I have had G-tabs for over a month now and I don't honestly know of any that were totally bricked. (I know many have been given up on and sold or returned or ???). I would say that by now most all the iterations of G-Tab failures that can happened have turned up in these Forums. Search and find answers. Ask questions about what you don't understand about the fixes. Then fix it.

6. REMEMBER WHAT THIS PLACE IS!!!! I have read any number of folks who have come here, messed up their tablet and then gotten angry with someone (or all of us) here about it. Remember that this is a place where private individuals are developing alternatives that are on the bleeding edge and sometimes even beyond!! If you are using anything except stock here, you have to assume the risk that all of us assume in trying to do something neat!

Don't fuss. Ask for help.

This post probably has been too long. But I have been developing hardware and software (not Android) since 1979 and I know a bunch about making mistakes!!! Also about preventing mistakes.

I hope the principles I suggest above will help you keep it together and accomplish something great!

[G Tablet General] Neudle:
Have you been spying on me?

;)

This describes my situation exactly and I appreciate your input and advice.

I've never used Android, don't even own a smart phone. I'm in the situation of not knowing what I don't know, if that makes sense.

I managed to accidentally add some icons to the home screen and it took me a day and a half to figure out how to remove them. :p

I've been hesitant to try to make any changes but I realized that I've only been using the tablet to play Angry Birds and do some light surfing. The gtab has so much potential and I have barely scratched the surface.

I will be taking the plunge this weekend with some of the mods that are available, but as you've suggested I need to keep reading. Lots of reading.

Thanks again for the tips,

Neudle
[G Tablet General] AltairDusk:
Another thing I would emphasize is when doing something like flashing recovery or loading a new ROM make sure you follow all the instructions. I've had more than one friend come to me asking for help with their phone because they skipped a few steps when flashing a ROM ("Oh, well that didn't seem important so I didn't do it"). I can so far say that with my Nexus One and my Gtab I have never had an issue when I followed the exact steps for flashing/installing.

Also, if something does go wrong, don't go into full out panic, quite often there is a way to recover and a bit of searching or asking nicely for help will have you back up and running. Don't forget, backups are your friend. Before doing anything substantial I always back up my apps and data with Titanium Backup then boot into recovery and do a Nandroid backup.

I am brand new to android, brand new to tablets.

Have had this a week.

Days 1-3 "yea ok this 3389 update works"

DAYS 4-5 "LOVE this peformance pack and fixed market"

DAY 6 "lets try vegan 5.1" followed by "I bricked it into a boot loop and none of the fixes worked. Can i take it back" followed by "nv flash is AWESOME, i can recover my gtab from ANY screw up!!!!!

DAY 7 VEGAN 5.1 INSTALLED (and invented my own modified way of flashing/recovery that is not exactly the same as the totorial why identifying which of the steps CANT BE skipped/Altered (WHAT i refer to as the "7-10"))

DAY 8 WHY wont vegan 5.1 acknowledge my new micro sdcard i bought today and do i need to format this or something?

By the way feel free to answer my day 8 issue before i start a new thread.
[G Tablet General] ThunderPuppy:
#8 MicroSd Card

The GTab calls internal storage sdcard and any microsd/microsdhc cards you install sdcard2. Look in your file directory under /sdcard2 or /mnt/sdcard2 and you will see your microsd card. You don't need to format the card first.

QVGA IDialer WP7 w/ Speeddial

Portrait and Landscape Dialers and Call Progress Screens​

I made this a while ago and have been using and keep seeing people ask about the continuation of Livvens skin. I made mine after seeing his. I didnt like that the speed dial was gone and contacts. I found a Iphone one and re-skinned it.

Portrait

Landscape

The only thing that I havent been able to figure out is on the Call progress screen there is a graphical error that shows dots on the speaker button, but it is non the graphic. If someone can let me know what it is I will see about fixing it.

Note

This is not just a skin it is also the dialer.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Panchiron:
Hi, 72ls1, and thank you for sharing your work. It´s nice.

As one of the members that asked for the continuation of Livven project (really fantastic one!), and missing the Contacts shortcut in that design, I have installed your dialer but I don´t have the main screen totally skinned.

Hard to explain, but I think it´s related to the speed dial. Just up of the "1,2,3" row, appears part of the screen belonging to the old Windows dialer, that is "behind" your dialer (the screen that appears partially is the one that displays last calls and contacts).

Well, not sure if you have understood me :eek:.

Thank you.

Greetings!
[Windows Mobile Themes] sattar1363:

[Windows Mobile Themes] pmvyas:
No WQVGA is not same as WVGA.

WQVGA is 432 x 240 resolution & WVGA is 800 x 480 ( "Google " is your best friend !!! )

Only skins / themes in same resolution as your phone will display properly on the phone.

I'm sorry for my mistake and thank you for your help, but i hope will have wvga version coming soon.
[Windows Mobile Themes] fxdadbrowser:
I am well aware of that, simly responding to : 72ls1 & Almond Fudge.

why all this is so far no VGA res released and trying various other vres to chech how they look.

qvga version occupies quarter of the vga area....( I tried):D
[Windows Mobile Themes] fantom3x:
great work on the QVGA version, works better than the minimal dialer. One small thing I've noticed, there is some residual colour on the speaker button while on a call. It looks like the button only has some of the main colour. If you click on the speaker button to turn it on, it disappears, so I'm guessing just the one picture/icon needs updating.

Otherwise great job!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Note2Frat:
Yes, I have tried to fix. Graphic is clean as seen on post 1. I also noted on post 1 about this.

Thanks Again. If I find a solution or anyone is can find it I will update it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] fantom3x:
oh I'm sorry mate, I didn't read that fully, I read the dots part but not the rest which is accurate. It doesn't really look like dots to me, it looks like the eraser function of a paint program was used to reproduce the right colour:

With error

Without

I used MyMobiler to get the screenshot so it doesn't really give a good indication but using paint to have a look at the cohesion and it was all one colour, a colour picker and bucket fill eliminated the wrong colour.

Apologies if you had tried all of this, I'm not a programmer but more a problem solver, hope that didn't offend you. I really do love your dialer, it has redial from call status functionality which even the minimal didn't have :)

EDIT: I should mention the graphic IS clean when the speaker button is pressed like this:

When speaker button is pressed

[Droid 2 General] red-penguin:
I LOVE Fission 2.4.3 on my Droid 2 (regular Droid 2, not R2D2 or global).

I was running third-eye theme that I downloaded from full Fission ROM Manager. The theme is superb! Great-looking.

But I noticed my GPS wasn't connecting. I discovered this while using Google Sky Map and could tell what was on the screen was different than the sky. GPS wasn't engaging so the app was generically using my town. :(

I searched and searched in google and forums and found one other person with this issue, but no answer.

So since my Fission was an upgrade from an earlier version, I bit the bullet and completely wiped the phone, data, cache, dalvic, factory reset, the works! Then I installed Fission and the GPS worked!!! Yeay. So I installed Third Eye via Fission Rom Manager, and the GPS broke again! Ugh! So I installed regular black Fission theme over it hoping it would fix it but it didn't.

Can anyone help? Why would a theme affect GPS? Any patch? I'd be happy to provide whatever log files or debug info is helpful.

Thank you! I love the D2 ROM community!
[Droid 2 General] Angdroid:
I thought the creator of the theme fixed that problem. For now you can install the upgrade ROM without wiping and then reapply the black theme and you should be good with gps.

I am looking into the issue with that theme now.

Sorry!

Are you sure you went into settings and enabled gps statelites?
[Droid 2 General] tgwaste:
Hi,

Did you check the setting?

Settings -> Location & Security -> Use GPS satellites (should be checked)
[Droid 2 General] red-penguin:
Yes, that is checked.

I'm going to try the suggestion to reapply Fission upgrade and black theme. I do really like the" Third Eye" but I like GPS better.
[Droid 2 General] red-penguin:
Okay, so I installed the Fission 4.2.3 Update (no wipe required) via the Rom Manager. When phone rebooted, I was back to default theme. I tested the GPS and it's still bad. :(

Is there a patch or a dll or something that can be applied?

I am technical (though not an Android Developer.) I work on Linux systems at work and am comfortable using debug tools if anyone wants me to generate a log or a core file or whatever might be helpful.

I wonder if there is a /var/admin/messages on Android. Maybe I'll poke around with the command shell.

I would ultimately love to have Fission, third eye, and the GPS.

Also, might one of the other addons I installed through Fission ROM Manager had broken the GPS? I think I installed the tether app and patch, some black-themed items, like swype, market, google search, weather, and I installed the moto multimedia pack and moto alarm.

Speaking of which, any plans to make R2D2 bootup available via Fission ROM Manager? Maybe I'm expecting too much. :)

Happy New Year everyone!

Try deleting the Maps.apk in your /system/apps folder then re downloading the app from the market.

GPS Broken with theme

Yeah, I am having the same issue, just stopped using it, and seemed to be fine. Guess I will just wait to see if it gets fit.
[Droid 2 General] red-penguin:
I'm sorry I didn't post the results. It's been a tad crazy around here and I haven't had much chance to post an update.

The following worked for me:

1) in root explorer, cd /data/app, mount r/w, rename com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk to com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk.bak

2) lauch maps just for a fun FC ;)

3) uninstall maps from settings:applications:manage applications

4) reinstall maps via market

Now I have the latest Fission and the latest third eye theme - I LOVE that theme! :)

I wish I could get paste from clipboard back though. Oh, and Gingerbread of course! :)

I'll quit while I'm ahead. The D2 development community is amazing. Kudos to you guys!!!!

Gratefully,
