[G Tablet General] woneill1701:
In order to get a "fuller" set of apps in the market the "fingerprint" entry in the build.prop file (which lives in /system) is generally modified.

The TnT updater uses this fingerprint to decide whether to upgrade, and if it doesn't recognise the current version from the fingerprint as one of its official releases, it will not perform the update.

Similarly, the update is designed to use the stock updater mechanism. CWM replaces the stock updater and uses a slightly different mechanism - which is why the automatic update fails.

However, if the new ROM is in the sdcard, you can boot into CWM (power up with the volume-up button pressed), and install the file manually because the file format is compatible.
[G Tablet General] intech:
:confused:

So we have to flash back to remove CW so we can update?

I'm not running any enhancement package.

Bummer
[G Tablet General] woneill1701:
Nope - not necessary!

Every time a new ROM has been made available it has been posted to the board and can be downloaded manually.

Go back to the first post of this thread for an example... :)

The posted ROM can be installed either via the native installer or by CWM. There are plenty of instructions for both methods.

Alternatively, you can download Roebeet's excellent TNT Lite ROM that tracks official releases and adds the enhancements. With that, you get the best of everything.

The key is to do a little more reading and to not be afraid to try - soon it will all become natural!
[G Tablet General] TeamSpeed:
No, the enhancement pack doesn't stop OTA updates. As for the market fix, you have to do that manually, the enhancement pack doesn't do anything with this, unless the newest enhancement packs do. I am using the enhancement pack back when 3389 came out. I received the OTA upgrade notice, but am holding out for the other guinea pigs here. :)
[G Tablet General] intech:
I don't mean to sound ungrateful but instructions are vague on this forum even when they go on for a page or two. Where exactly would someone find the

current ROM

(it's not at the beginning of this thread). that we can not install because this clockwork app is um.... challenged? I don't want to install beta software, just have a better way of backing up but CW is not it if it can't load an update easily. The tablet was working fine before and now when I try and load the update I get an exclamation point.

My suggestion to anyone thinking about installing Clockwork on your GTablet: don't. IT WILL BRICK YOUR AUTO-UPDATES. If you are reading this thread (which is about OTA updates) do not install CW. DO NOT!!! Just forget about OTA updates. Period. Maybe it worked before but it's obvious it does not now.

I understand how to use CW but that does not solve the auto update issue.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
If you want the current official Viewsonic update then there is a link to the 3389 update here and at Viewsonic. Clockwork installs the updates quite easily. The update will replace clockwork with the stock recovery. Using the bekit 0.8 clockwork will NOT brick your updates. You can download the update and install it in Clockwork by selecting the correct zip file. IT WILL REPLACE CLOCKWORK RECOVERY WITH STOCK RECOVERY. It will however not allow you to "Auto Update" as the "Auto Update" is looking for the stock recovery.

CWM WILL NOT keep you from getting OTAs

CWM WILL install OTAs

CWM WILL be erased when installing OTAs

CWM WILL NOT allow "Auto Updating"

I wish to be clear for those who may believe that CWM will brick their tablet or their updates. It WILL NOT do either if you follow the directions.
[G Tablet General] intech:
thank you bad frog :cool: and here is the link to the stock updates on this forum

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842000

loaded fine from the link (rename the zip file to update.zip)

and yes this time CW worked perfectly.

OTA would not download even though it thought it did. That was a dead end.
[G Tablet General] DRSReaper:
Jim, your theory is very correct.
[G Tablet General] GaryHypnosis:
Please explain this.

Please explain this for me:

CWM WILL NOT keep you from getting OTAs????

CWM WILL NOT allow "Auto Updating"???

How do you get the OTA (Over the Air) update if CWM will not allow "Auto Updating"?

Once the CWM is replaced by stock recovery, will all future updates be installed?

Thank you!
[G Tablet General] woneill1701:
CWM will not interfere with the updater app that downloads the ROM update from over the air...

When the updater app tries to reboot and auto-update with the downloaded ROM, CWM will be triggered instead of the stock recovery console (installing CWM replaces the stock recovery console).

CWM uses a different mechanism (but based on the same ROM file), causing the auto-update to fail.

However, CWM can use the downloaded file to perform the update manually.

The newer ROMs will replace CWM itself with an updated recovery console - requiring CWM to be re-installed if you want its functionality.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
There is nothing in Clockwork recovery that will stop your tablet from receiving a notification of an update or will stop you from downloading the update.

As explained above, the OTA (Over The Air) update uses stock recovery to install and since clockwork replaces stock recovery your tab wont automatically install the update. You can install the update with clockwork at which point you will lose clockwork recovery

Clcockwork does not stop you from receiving or downloading OTAs (Over The Air) updates. It does stop the auto installing of OTAs (Over The Air). Once clockwork recovery is replaced by stock recovery then the future updates will or will not install as intended by viewsonic.
[G Tablet General] GaryHypnosis:
Thanks for the clarification

Thanks for the clarification, that makes more sense now.

Now I see that you can still get the OTA with clockworks installed it just won't do the auto install. That was the part I was not clear on from your first post. This followup explains it well.

Thank you.

[Droid Eris General] labnjab:
I just saw that people are arguing on different rom threads and saying oh yours is better since you made this first but I tweaked it. (I mean no disrepect in that comment.)

Point being here is a interesting thing I thought of just to see what anyone else thought of. We have four main froyo roms Tazz, Kaos, Sheds and Conaps.

If people are fighting over whos to choose I was thinking maybe the four of them should make a combined rom since everything they use to build them is a combined effort anyway. I just personally think it would be interesting to see what they all would contribute and it would be the best rom all around due to it has everyones input. Its nice how they all are unique by themselves but it would be awesome to have them all mashed together if that makes sense. It would be fast, stable, and could probably even be updated more due to whomever had more time would be able to work on it.

I am not posting this to make people mad or to say one rom is better than the other I just think it would be rather neat to have one huge awesome rom to choose from. I know it would probably never happen but its a interesting thought.

I do not mean any disrespect or harm in this post either. I just figured maybe it would cause less arguments.

I just wanted to share an idea I had. What do you all think? Negative or positive.
[Droid Eris General] ILikeBubbles:
sounds cool :) they all do seem to work together enough, lending each other things and being really quite friendly to each other on their posts. to have them together on a test ROM would be cool but i think they all have their individual ideas that keep them just different enough to make everyone happy no matter what their style :) i'm using Nonsensikal 16.1 now but i'm about to switch to Tazz... i'm not sure Vanilla or Gingerbread... overall though lol yeah i think that would be a great idea!! sorry i rant >< xD!
[Droid Eris General] bftb0:
Having things in public view surely makes "who did what first" a non-argument - because one merely needs to look at the commits to find out who did what when.

As a reminder, devs who work on AOSP ROMs are under a GPL obligation to release their sources.

Without a doubt though, asking that cooks/devs publicly document their trickery increases their workload (in addition to build & test, add some "documentation" tasks) - so, the trade off might be better documentation - but fewer ROM updates per developer.

It is possible that having more information available about methods which are Eris hardware specific might encourage more people to participate in ROM "porting" activities, e.g. hacking of backlights, notification delivery, gps/sensor, and "pre-built" library requirements.

It is my impression that devs have shared some of this informally in private communications/IRC, but you would be hard-pressed to find explanations or mini-tutorials on most of these topics here on XDA (Eris) forums. That makes it more challenging for any would-be "ROM porting developer" - because they must re-invent those same wheels from scratch, or go begging to devs that have worked through those issues before. The latter certainly won't happen if they view the devs as combative or secretive.

I would suggest that if you can gain any traction with the devs on this, the baseline ROM should be AOSP - that way the GPL disclosure requirements align well with the benefit of making information readily available. (Perhaps never in the form of tutorials, but at least in the form of public source code).

[Droid Eris General] CPCookieMan:
Well a lot of people don't like Sense UI so... But I think it could be a good idea. It's just hard to have to download the latest and greatest version anytime a dev wants to make a change, and two could never change it at the same time unless they were like teamviewing or something.
[Droid Eris General] labnjab:
Yes it is hard having to switch versions everytime they make improvements & I didnt mean the sense ui. I meant i hoped the sentence made sense. Meaning all the newer froyo non sense roms rolled into one. Sorry for any confusion.
[Droid Eris General] Stonent:
I think Tenzo and Tazz have slowed down some of their development until they can get some common problems worked out.

Wow. This looks awesome. I'm very tempted to try it out. Now, if there was a way to get this lockscreen style to also apply to answering calls, I'd definitely go for it. I have like OCD when it comes to sliding left/right to unlock the screen but up and down to answer/decline calls.

Very nice work though and I definitely like the music controls being added.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Stoney 666:
Damn, I wish I had the skills! Good thing myns warm for Dinc is 100% 3.70 evo framework... so far works perfect... just can't get the gestures to work or get rid of the locks completly for pure gestures....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
As mentioned in the OP, gestures require the presence of a read/write file in the /data/misc/ folder, named lockscreen_gestures.

The flashable zip should create this file for you automatically. Did you use the zip to apply? Do you see the file on your phone?

If not, you can adb in and create the file and change its mode, which should get the gestures working:

adb remount
adb shell
touch /data/misc/lockscreen_gestures
chmod 777 /data/misc/lockscreen_gestures
reboot
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Stoney 666:

Back to the original question, did you apply by flashing the file linked in the OP?

Regardless, it appears to not be there, for some reason, so use the instructions above to manually create it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] myMUSICveins:
Ever since I updated the clock for the gallery with the patch, the music controls havnt been working properly or at all. Even if i go into setting and turn off that feature, they still come up. Also if there is music paused, instead of there being a play button, the pause and track forward and backward come up instead. So ill hit pause, and nothing changes, then I hit play again and then it starts playing again. Just seems buggy.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Works fine for me. Think you've got something un-related going on.

My best guess is you have multiple music players installed. The lock screen controls, from what I can see, can only control one music player, whichever is defined as the default for the MUSIC_PLAYER intent.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TMartin:
Hey JsChiSurf,

Any thought of a port of this?

Link
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I saw that. It would be nice, but it might be tough to pull off, as there are a lot of configuration settings that I can see that are dependent upon CM.

For fun, I relatively easily got it to install, with some modifications, but force closes all over the place. I'm thinking the best approach would be to not try an port the whole app, but rather, try an pull and integrate the methods used for binding the various buttons to actions directly into HTCCamera instead.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TMartin:
Sounds like a great idea....I thought it would be much easier for you since there is a source to work from.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
That is true. I'll definitely load it up in eclipse when (if) I get a chance. Either way, the CM dependencies are still going to exist that may be problematic. We'll see...

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
What EXACTLY are you having a problem with? You simply flash the mod via recovery and use it. All instructions are provided in the OP. If you are not familiar with that first process, you need to educate yourself on rooting, flashing ROMs, then go from there...

There's no file to "delete" per se, and haptic behavior seems much different than in the past, at least to me. It used to be "constant", but now it seems to taper off / disappear when used frequently. Anyone else see that?

At any rate, back in the day (I haven't looked at it recently), haptic was controlled in the framework.jar file for the slidingtab/rotary widgets. This is where I'd go looking again.
