[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
Nope. Roebeet is not changing the boot animation. It is the Android screen instead of the stock Viewsonic. There is a thread around here somewhere about this same subject. People not clearing data, factory reset, etc. Sparkle screen should not be there.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] MisterKrispy:
I have run several versions of tnt lite and that boot animation has been in every one of them. it's the animation from the nexus one. It's not exclusive to zpad.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
The Sparkle screen does not belong. If you are seeing the sparkle screen then you have stuff on your tablet that does not belong there. If you bought your tablet and it has the sparkle screen then it is not running what everyone else is running.

I run vegaN and have for a while. I remembered no sparkle screen in TnT anything. I just did a backup and loaded TnT 3.1, and then added TnT 3.1.4... Guess what? No sparkle screen. It starts up with the ugly green G Tablet picture with the white background, and then switches to a screen that says Android. Just like I have always seen TnT everything do.. Like I said, this was an issue a while back. It is not supposed to be a sparkle screen and if you see it you have residual crap from somewhere else.

I am not a Psychic so I have no idea how you got it.. Or where you got it. I just know you shouldn't...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] thebrain73:
I have run every version of tnt lite since 2.2 and they all have had the nexus one boot screen.when I boot my tablet I see the viewsonic birds then the gtablet logo, and finally the nexus one fireworks X.

ETA: roebeet's change log found on the development board states that "tnt boot screen replaced with standard boot screen"
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
That's real good.. You are now another member of the you have a screwed up tablet club...

That bootscreen is on the Nexus, Zpad, I'm sure lots of other places. Point I am making is it does not belong in TnTLite.. Or vegaN.

If you like it great. If you believe it is right, great.. If your tablet has other errors from remnant code.. Great..
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] thebrain73:
Ok maybe you could tone down your ego a bit and use your vastly superior knowledge to explain how my tablet got a boot screen that is supposedly not in any of the code I or viewsonic loaded on to it.

All I know at this point is that I bought the tablet on december 28 2010. I charged the device, booted it up for the first time and let it do an ota update.i then installed clock work .8, then installed tnt lite 2.2 at which time the nexus boot animation appeared and has been around ever since. With the initial rom change and each change after I have wiped all data. Was the nexus boot animation part of the ota update? And if so why is it not being wiped when I change roms?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] thebrain73:
Rushless,

To answer your question, when I use hardware decoding I see the lock up and reboot you describe. When I use software decoding everything works fine. I have only played MP4 videos.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
I don't have an ego issue so I don't know what I should be toning down. I responded to your post like that because it came across as another my tablet has it so it's right and yours is wrong post. If your tablet works, and you like the sparkles then great.. Doesn't really matter to me. My tablet works fine.

I don't have an answer for how you, and a few other people have ended up with the sparkle screen. My point is, and always has been that it does not belong in TnT, TnT Lite, or vegaN.

I have only seen that screen on a rom made for the G tab in one place and that is the original Zpad. Who knows what the OEM is loading on these things or how they are doing it. I have wondered if maybe some of these tablets may not have been destined to be Zpads, flashed with Zpad, and then ended up in a G tablet case and flashed with TnT at the factory or somewhere else later on to fill a shortage. If you don't clear data, dalvik, and do an Nvflash there is still stuff left over when I have done it. Who says the factory, or Viewsonic didn't shortcut?

My tablet came from the first batch of 1000 and it has never had the sparkle screen unless I put it there with the original Zpad rom. I don't have any idea if it really matter or not. But if folks are having issues it may be part of the cause and that was really the only purpose for me saying anything about it in the first place..
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
I can use hardware mode, in vegaN, using clemsons kernel, Without it locking up. It should work.

RockPlayer Universal v1.6.0

I am Testing it now ... RockPlayer Universal v1.6.0

Tested and Dont work as good as 1.55
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rushless:
I think the root cause may be Rockplayer 1.6. I am not the only person having the issue and different roms.

Wish I knew that before installing 4.1 now. I had a solid device with 3.14 and the Clem kernel, but now starting from scratch. Bleh. Even with Titanium, the 1gb of apps I have- it takes a while. Smallest violin time.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
I wonder what they changed? I have 1.6 right now, admittedly don't use it a lot, but I haven't noticed a difference. Maybe the files you guys want it to play are a lot higher quality than what I use it for? I just watch mp4's that I made with Handbrake and it plays those well.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rushless:
Prioir to 1.6, I could get higher def wmv files to play smooth with hardware decoding. Now it just kicks me out when trying to use it.

Same result with 4.1 and stock kernel as 3.14 with Clem. Only difference is Rockplayer 1.6 vs 1.55.

Need to find 1.55 and install it to confirm.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
If you can't find 1.55 I have it here. Pm me if you want it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rushless:
For clarification, hardware decoding for higher res wmv files only recently started working and stopped working with 1.60. 1.52 also does not work. 1.55 seems the sweet spot (at least for my gtablet).
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
Yeah, I know whenever I used to select hardware decode it would either not play, or the checkmark would go away. The last couple versions since they had you update to the specific version for our processor I haven't had the problem. Have you tried going to there website and downloading the specific version for our stuff?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rushless:
Yeah, something went amuck and even 1.55 did not fix it. Weird how it worked with Clem kernel and 3.14 and then suddenly stopped working. Only thing that changed was Rockplayer.

On a positive note, the kernel with 4.1 seems just as stable as Clem's but no more waiting for apps like Angry Birds and Stumble Upon to show up after a reboot. They show up as soon as it reboots, rather than at least a minute later or more with Clem. Battery seems better too, but anecdotal (hence "seems" ) .

Also averaging 100 more margin on Quadrant (if that means anything at all).
[G Tablet General] chpimentelpr:
Does Someone has successfully attached an external usb disk to the gtab using Vegan Beta 5? Is not working for me, not even recognized. It is formatted on Fat32 and my Archos 101 see it. Any suggestions???
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Have you looked for the usb drive in a file manager? There is no popup when you plug it in.
[G Tablet General] New2Android:
Hi,

I have been using my external Western Digital usb 500gb disk with gtab. I am on Vegan 5.1.

The first time i hooked it up, it did not work. Gtab did not see the usb hdd and usbdisk did not show anything at all. I tried it couple of times in vain,

Then i powered down the gtab, unplugged the usb hdd and restarted the gtab. After gtab booted up i gave it some more time before touching the tab. Then i hooked up the usb hdd and allowed gtab to scan / read the usb hdd. I took a while ( maybe based on amount of data you have in usb hdd) and then i when to file manager, usbdisk and i could access all my files on usb hdd. it is fat32 formatted.

Try couple of time and allow gtabl to read through all the files . I will work.

Let me know if that helped.
[G Tablet General] chpimentelpr:
Nothing...
[G Tablet General] chpimentelpr:
Ok, will try that... I'm using a WD 750GB
[G Tablet General] chpimentelpr:

[G Tablet General] chpimentelpr:
That didn't work either... will try CM6 Rom to see if can detected the usb hdd.
[G Tablet General] anjenaire:
Hasn't worked for me either. I have a FAT32 USB hard drive that never shows up under usbdisk. I am running Vega-Tab b5.1 and the USB port is working; my evidence is a working USB keyboard, and a green light on the hard drive indicating it is connected. I will try again but so far nothing.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
For those of you for whom this doesn't work: I wonder if maybe there's more than just a single FAT32 partition on the hard drive? Maybe there's a hidden partition that might not be normally visible?

Jim
[G Tablet General] anjenaire:
How would one check for this? (Using WinXP)
[G Tablet General] justauser:
worked for me

I think you have to have a FAT32 format to get the drive recognized. I had a 100GB thin, portable drive and it worked just fine. It shows up as /usbdrive. This worked before the latest update of the base OS and still works for me.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
You can try to go to Computer Management==>Disk Management to see what shows up there for the USB drive, but, that might now show some weird partition types. It would show the unallocated space but not the unknown partition type.

Or, try to go here:

http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads-free-software.htm

and download "Partinfo" and run that, and see what that says. That dumps out a bunch of info on partitions on the drives that your machine sees.

Jim
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
As has been mentioned in other posts, for the drive to work, it appears that you'd need to have only a single FAT32-formatted partition on the drive. If either Disk Management or Partinfo show that there's more than that, then that may be why the Gtab can't see or mount the USB drive to /usbdisk.

Just guessing here...

Jim
[G Tablet General] chpimentelpr:
I just get rid of the hidden partition, and now is a single fat32 partition. Will check and write back with results.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
It sounds like you did find a hidden partition on your drive? If that's the case, was at the beginning of the drive, or somewhere else (at the end)?

I'm kind of assuming that the Gtab may only be able to see a FAT32 partition that starts at the beginning of the drive, but not 100% sure about that.

Jim
[G Tablet General] anjenaire:
This particular drive only has one partition and uses FAT32 format. It is an 80GB drive (and nearly full). My other portable drive uses NTFS. The FAT32 drive says it is "healthy, active, primary partition" under "Disk Management". The graphic (Windows 7 PC, I am at home now), shows only one partition where as my "C" drive shows three separate partitions: one 30MB, one 14.65 GB and one 916.83GB.

Still scratching my head. No big deal as long as I have an internet connection and upnplay capabilities.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] saywhat4118:
Hey guys I need y'alls help. I have the Vibrant and a coworker has the mytouch 4G. He wants to trade with me but he is also asking for 75 extra bucks. Is it worth it? Which phone do you guys think is better in speed and development?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] legend221:
This is a direct copy paste from another forum, hopefully it will help you decide whether to go through with it or not:

"Re: vibrant or mytouch 4g??

Mytouch 4G, this is coming from an ex-Vibrant user.

The Super Amoled screen is great, but not as spectacular as people make it sound. It is VERY nice at full brightness, unfortunately that burns through the battery like a hot knife through butter.

The Vibrant has become synonymous with people telling you to root and lag fix. If that's for you - great. Go right ahead. If you want some thing that works out of the box, the MT4G rocks hard.

The comparisons like the processor is moot, because as I said, the Vibrant NEEDS a lag fix (and thus being rooted) to even approach what the MT4G gets out of the box (easily 2k+ without widgets/live wallpapers running). The Vibrant is faster, but not anywhere close to as 'fast' as the benchmarks claim.....the numbers are quite false and not representative.

The MT4G is fast, stable and feature packed. For the most part, I haven't found any part of the added mysense ui to detract from the phone, as Touchwiz detracts (for some people [the contact manager, for example]) from the Vibrant. Wifi Calling and Hotspot/USB tethering are also icing on the cake as they come built into the phone.

No phone is perfect. The Vibrant has downright awesome external speakers vs. the MT4Gs which are just horrible (very tinny sounding and sort of weak). The Vibrant ships with more internal storage. Granted, they both end up on the same grounds because both only allow users to install apps to ~1.5GB of the locked ROM. The MT4G however, since it's running Froyo, allows you to move some/many/most of your downloaded apps to the microSD card.

The Vibrant displays 1080p HD video. I'm not 100% this is useful for everyone, but it's nice to have. The MT4G allows 720p HD at 30fps, not sure if 1080p is supported at all. The Vibrant contains one of the best GPU (Graphics Processing Units) in the industry right now. The MT4G contains something very, very close. The sound inside the Vibrant is also top notch, dolby certified.

I just got the MT4G and can say without a doubt it's one of the best phone's i've experienced, even though it's fresh. However, I believe in testing for a week to see what bugs there are if any before I make any final judgement. I can say pretty early on though, that out of it's case it's faster and has more features that the Vibrant."

I think NFC has potential
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
only if it survives the launch time

it'll be a nice try,

since they failed at the same strategy with bluetooth, back then marketing people were also planning the same thing with bluetooth but in the end it failed

too much security hassle and issues with prevention, etc, etc

if NFC wants to survive, better make it clear to the people it's not used to suck data out of your phone, but just to pick up data from stuff
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
as always people are turned off by new things,

I think security with NFC is allot better than RFID, anyone with the right equipment and a lil cash can eavsdrop on people who have Bluetooth enabled on their cell phones, and with RFID its the same way.

I think the short range of NFC is a big security factor, I mean if you dont notice someone rubbing something on your ass you deserve to get money stolen from you
[Nexus S General] allen099:
The fact that you have to tap the pad to get it to work is good for security. That means it won't read through your pockets. +1 there.

Unfortunately because America is so slow to take on new technologies, I'm sure we'll all go through one or two new phones each before NFC is actually on the marketplace in public venues on a large scale.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
All it takes is one company to put NFC tags in their products, for example a movie poster or what have you, pretty sure its the same company that produces those cardboard cut outs for movies,
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
LMAO !!! :p:D

good one
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
yup, movies poster and magazines are the best way to launch NFC into full stream
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Its the truth :) Not going to lie, but if sat in a starbucks and peeled info from peoples bluetooth enabled cellphones, i never did anything with the data i got but it was a learning experience and once you get the process down its easy

Yup, I really wish I could find a place in CA that something with NFC tags just so i can test it
[Nexus S General] greenstuffs:
Are you trying to be funny? :confused: Do you realize a lot of people live in big cities and rely on public transportation and usually during rush hrs the buses, metro, trains are packed where people ride like canned sardines. I bet them deserve to have their money stolen too according to you. Or may be you just can't realize that the rest of the world don't or can't afford 1 car per person nor able to enjoy the space you have.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
IF you wanna put it like that then yes. but you are obviously missing my point.

credit cards, cell phones and other devices are much less secure than an NFC device would be when you compare the range
[Nexus S General] tomqman:
and a nfc on/off widget would solve that
[Nexus S General] allen099:
We can turn it on/off in the Wireless & Network Settings :-). i'm sure creating a widget is pretty easy for this. For now I've got mine off so it doesn't waste additional battery (I don't know the effects it has yet).
