Dude really nice. Love the Rom. Two questions, any way to get 360 degree rotation unless I'm missing something. And also any tips on getting the tap n tap keyboard working. Stock keyboard buttons are a little to narrow/short in landscape. Love the Roman though any tips for this rom.

Also any one know how to mod the standard keyboard buttons maybe. Just make them taller in lanscape? Cuz there are some things I do like abolition the stock keyboard
[G Tablet Android Development] danielsjam:
I just installed beta4 - tablet in landscape mode. Gapps installed. To cancel the setup, start in the upper left corner and work clockwise. Make sure you touch on the black background. If it fail the first time, try again.

Also for some reason my external memory card is not showing up at all? I did flash Clem's kernel but not sure if that matters. Really curious why mine isn't showing it, and computer doesn't see it either.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
I can install the apps using the market, but none of my apps showing up.
[G Tablet Android Development] gksmith:
I can't get the ethernet connection in my dock to work. I added the following to /system/etc/dhcpd.conf because it was missing but it didn't make a difference. There already was a wlan0 listed which I had assumed was the same as eth0 for VegaN.

interface eth0

# dhcpcd-run-hooks uses these options.

option subnet_mask, routers, domain_name_servers

pinch zoom broken beta 4

pinch zoom broken dose seem to work in beta 4 has any one else noted this?

good job to the team nice rom, thank you
[G Tablet Android Development] bigwewe:
Pinch zoom works fine for me. Great rom though, love the speediness of things. Used Vegan 5.1 before and have been using beta 4 for a day or so.

But here are some of the problems I have:

-Random shutdowns

-Only Android keyboard works, TnT and Thumb keyboards FCs

-Videos cannot be played with any player.

-"The Process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly..." just popped up today and wont go away.

-Auto brightness doesnt seem to be working. It just dims and stays at the level.
[G Tablet Android Development] catttman:
Well to add

Quadrant = 2079 ( Runs bad... black and white and no texture and patterns)

Also Dungen defender acts funny ... locks up and wont play the introduction (grass and trees growing etc. )

But... the map is the fastest and the coolest i ever seen!
[G Tablet Android Development] bittrix:
Beta 05 is now live

Link on first post.

Changed in beta05:

fixed mount points ('twas bittrix and the slythy .vold did...)

changed framebuffer timing from 50Hz to 70Hz (thanks to Dexter_nlb and gojimi)

screen no longer shows cell signal strength indicator

bunch more "phone" changed to "tablet". Left some elements in anticipation of exploring 3G/VOIP possibilities

added "never" to screen timeout options

enabled separate settings while docked (can't test, I don't have one, YMMV)

additional todo:

keep USB connected screen "connected" (it's still connected and available, just flips back)

try bringing forward the enhanced nvidia froyo video driver

ootb support for cifs(smb), video playing/streaming

fix auto-brightness

ignoring:

keyboards / software written for previous versions. This is gingerbread - some of the previous versions ain't gonna work.

dock issues. not going to mess with those until I get one / start the car integration project.
[G Tablet Android Development] gksmith:
A minor issue. In betas 1 and 3 I was unable to disable the startup/shutdown annimations. Even though they are unchecked, both happen. I'd love to see how fast the GTab could boot if those were disabled.

Also, if this is an unoffical release. Who's doing the offical one? GoJimi or someone else?
[G Tablet Android Development] copperdawgnc:
Thanks will download and test in a moment, what are your plans for the mouse USB GPS?
[G Tablet Android Development] catttman:
Bv5

Quadrant just starts then back to the start

Same

Also Dungen defender acts funny ... locks up and wont play the introduction (grass and trees growing etc. )

Some movies play that means I can get to my sdcardex :)

Keep up the great work !! you have it 100% soon Very good work!
[G Tablet Android Development] bittrix:
I suspect quadrant is using system hooks that don't work under gingerbread. It doesn't do dual-core either. Same of games & system applications that hook deeper into the OS stack. I'm looking into the graphics/display subsystems next - could easily all be my fault as well :D
[G Tablet Android Development] copperdawgnc:
Installed beta5 seems great so far

Except:

Google apps required the touch each corner trick to get passed the android.

Sound did not work until headphones plugged in and removed

Cannot play videos

Thanks bittrix keep up the great work

btw will we ever be able to charge this device via USB?
[G Tablet Android Development] catttman:
Update just got 2020 quadrant ... running very sooooth I just backed it up :)
[G Tablet Android Development] catttman:
Run the sound apk and reboot then it will play fine

I just tested rockplayer ... works, just tested a bunch of movies

I am good :)
[G Tablet Android Development] Pazzu510:
yep, smooth and cool as always. Tnx BitTrix. XD

I just need to know how to th the Mac address spoof and i'am all set.

BTW: Any ideas on this??? i tried already

but it just breaks my wifi fuctionality and makes the device unable to connect.

This method worked on vegan b5.1 flawlessly. but now it gets stuck in authenticating with (wifi hotspot)

-Going to Clemsy kernel to see if that works. XD
[G Tablet Android Development] miphonematt:
I flashed it and flashed google apps. When I got the touch the android screen and touched the corners of the LCD as the OP instructed, nothing happened. I tried this process several times.

Are there and tricks or suggestions anyone can offer me?
[G Tablet Android Development] danielsjam:
Alternate Way to By-Pass The Android Icon

If you are stuck trying to get pass the Android Icon during Gapps setup, use the following:

Edit - /system/build.prop

I use ConTEXT editor - get it at http://www.contexteditor.org/

Option #1 -- PRIOR TO INSTALLING Gapps--------------------

adb pull /system/build.prop

Edit this file and locate the line "ro.setupwizard.mode=OPTIONAL"

Change it to "ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED"

To copy the file back to your tablet:

adb remount

adb push build.prop /system

adb reboot recovery

Install Gapps

---------------------------------------------------------

Option # 2 -- Already installed Gapps and can't by-pass the icon:

Boot into Clockwork recovery

Select - mounts and storage

Select - mount /system

adb pull /system/build.prop

Edit this file and change this line "ro.setupwizard.mode=OPTIONAL" to "ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED".

Copy the file back to the tablet

adb push build.prop /system

unmount /system

adb reboot

You should by-pass the setup wizard.

If this option does not work, reinstall CM7 and use option #1 above.

Are you holding the tablet portrait with power socket at the bottom and work clockwise starting top left?

accelerometer fix?

Hey great work on this rom , it works , for the most part great so far. But is there an accelerometer fix that works, or is that still need developed. Again thanks for the good work keep it up.
[G Tablet Android Development] Linuxslate:
Since I was stuck at the BitTrix Proudly Presents...

I wiped everything and installed Beta 5

It seems to work well with the things others have noted -- Audio, Stuck ad green dude, etc.

But I still feel that what is seen when the G-tablet is connected to a PC is wrong.

I see the internal storage, and the Ext3 partition. I cannot see my Removable SD.

Also, IMHO, the mountpoints have gotten more confusing --- /sd-ext, and /sdext ?! No wonder the unwashed masses buy locked-in iPads.
[G Tablet Android Development] catttman:
This Kind of reminds me of when I setup my Dreambox years ago

(If you know what that is .)
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
Like he said, it is his alpha attempt to do this. Imagine you can do this like cifs and vpn support in ipad? It will get better. If you want more refined, please try vegan or other rom.

"changed framebuffer timing to 70Hz"

Can you put this to 60Hz. This is more applicable to the US as all of our TV / Movies are rendered using 60 frames (of course unless interlaced)... Unfortunately it seems someone decided to link the refresh rate to the frame buffer (not the right approach)... With a 70Hz refresh rate you will have repeat frames manifesting in stuttering ever so many frames.... most will not notice this but it will depend on the movie..

Of course if you can fix the primary issue and remove the dependency of linking refresh rate to frame buffer then that is fine also with an option of VSYNC. Ideally to achieve VSYNC you must match frame buffer to refresh rate (not the other way around)
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
I am in favor of 70hz, and does improve the visual appeal of sub-par display which Viewsonic comes with it.

YOu can actually look at this post, and change it to your desired rate.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10604940&postcount=43
[G Tablet Android Development] bittrix:
I picked 70Hz for general display goodness. The buffer flipping routine is already asynchronous, so the only way I can think of to make everyone happy would be to write a small API that video players could use to set the rate according to whatever media they were playing. You may watch 60fps interlaced, I watch a lot of 24 and 30 fps progressive. If we could set it at 120Hz that would make the whole discussion moot. Could also make replacement files for 48,50,60,70Hz and pick them via settings menu.

You are free to replace the system file yourself. I suspect any of the ones linked in Dexter_nlb's post will work.
[G Tablet Android Development] stanglx:
It should not noticeably improve the visualization from 60Hz to 70Hz as the display has a frequency range of 48Hz to 75Hz (roughly)... The NTSC standard (which this display states as the optimal frequency) is 60Hz thus should have the best viewing quality. In addition, at 70Hz you will not be happy when you play movies and you get jerking (repeat frames - and will be far worse when the video is interlaced)... 50Hz is also not for for anyone in North America but is better for everyone else..

Again.. the issue is not with the frame buffer but the fact that driver links the refresh rate to the frame buffer to achieve VSYNC. It should be the other way around - Refresh is a constant and the framebuffer should be able to be changed..

But fair enough.. we can always revert to the proper refresh rate for our location.
[G Tablet Android Development] wnbowman:
LinuxSlate,

were you able to see the external SD before installing this ROM? I believe this is normal behavior, to see only internal storage.
[G Tablet Android Development] Linuxslate:
I don't believe that I have seen the removable SD via USB on any firmware on this device.

On Other android devices (phones) I typically see only the SD Card.

I'm pretty sure I see the removable SD (not the internal 2G SD) when I connect my Dell Streak to a PC. I don't have a a Dell Streak cable or my PDMI <> USB adapter with me to verify.

On the Augen Gentouch 78, the internal Storage is mounted via USB, and the Micro SD is (additionally) mounted if you first unmount it from the Augen in Settings >> Storage.

A few other notes about this ROM:

In "Storage Settings",

The values listed under "SD card" are for the internal emmc

The values listed for "Internal Storage /mnt/sdext" are for my 8 Gig Micro SD card in the slot.

I understand why this is, but to me, this is backwards of intuition.

It gets worse...

When I connect to a PC, and tun on USB, it unmounts both the "SD card" and "Internal Storage /mnt/sdext" from the tablet, as if it is preparing to allow them to be mounted in the host PC's filesystem. The 2G "Internal Storage" (the Ext3 partition) Remains mounted.

Thus, when connected to a Linux PC, it seems to me that the Ext3 partition is simultaneously mounted in both filesystems. To me, that seems Really Bad.

I'm not going to go on about this issue. It's a fantastic ROM, and I appreciate BitTrix and other's time and work. I'm just Beta testing, and reporting technical issues as I see them.

has anyone had luck with blue tooth gps with any cyanogen builds i havent tried beta 5 yet but with the rest i could not connect to my phone! with every other build i have no problem blue tooth tethering for gps!? anyone else try?? i use blue tooth gps output and share gps on my hd2 and blue tooth gps mouse with my g iv tried more apps but none would work thanks!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] bittrix:
Working on GPS now (starting with Bluetooth). Will be included in beta06.
[G Tablet Android Development] bittrix:
Internal and External cards

General question...

We have an internal "drive" /sdcard

We have an external "drive" /sdext (will be renamed to avoid confusion with CM sd-ext)

the internal drive has a 2GB system folder and a 14GB data folder

When you plug in a USB cable to connect with your PC, and your tablet mounts as an external USB storage device... What drive do you want to see? Should it be a user-selectable setting? There are pros/cons either way. and linuxslate is correct about the possible dangers associated in mounting your (usually hidden) system partition. It's ext3 so will probably only show up on linux PCs...

This is not about option 1 or 2 from rothnic's poll (about drive naming), this is about external mount visibility. Let me know what you think.
[G Tablet Android Development] abstrusius:
If possible, I'd would like to see both: the entire external microsd card and the user partition of the internal card mounted on Windows/Linux.
[G Tablet Android Development] nieuport:
How did you copy movie file over to gTablet?

My players cannot open an .m4v file copied to gTablet from Mac (i could do so with 6.1 Cyanogen builds)
[G Tablet Android Development] copperdawgnc:
Thanks again bittrix. I am personally looking forward to serial USB GPS support, I know users have used their phones and Bluetooth GPS utility on other builds

As far as the SD cards we have internal, external and USB? The system 2gb I dont think should be accessible via USB except when using a boot loader. IMHO

Cannot get to excited about what we call them but sdcard, sdcard2 & usbdisk worked.

Just to clarify I think both the sdcard & sdcard2/ext should both mount via USB I have other devices that work this way say as e: & f:
[G Tablet Android Development] acooper:
Same issue here. Really need to view m4v video files but they will not play in any media player
[G Tablet Android Development] kampf:
I'd prefer to see the onboard, user-accessible storage. This is completely inaccessible otherwise. The microSD card is removable, so if someone needs to add to or copy from it, they can simply remove it from the device. This is not an option for the onboard storage.
[G Tablet Android Development] wnbowman:
Personally, I'd rather not have direct access to the system partition. We seem to have enough users with varying issues, let's not add to potential corruption of the system drive. If I had an SD card in the external slot, for the convenience factor, I would not mind having to fumble with removing from tablet, mounting in Windows (or Linux) PC, copying files, and then unmount/move to tablet.

Thanks for the great work on CM7 beta. I tried Beta 1, but could not mount storage to be seen by my PC, and have not had time to try more recent versions (yet).
[G Tablet Android Development] catttman:
I didnot copy ... rockplayer is set to see sdcardex

Bluetooth GPS Works

Beta05 works great with bluetooth GPS. From the market get the free "Bluetooth GPS Provider" by mobile-j.de. Enable mock locations in Settings | Applications | Development

I got a Globalsat BT359 today, and was running Google's maps and nav a few minutes after it arrived.
[G Tablet Android Development] palagai:

[G Tablet Android Development] dezufnoC:
Loaded up on beta5 and looks real good. Only problem so far for me is my inability to play movies off of sdext. Every player is unable to play the file. Some are having trouble with the location while others the format. Are the special codecs needed? I was able to play all of theses on TNT before moving over.

Thoughts?
[G Tablet Android Development] wnbowman:
Ok, have downloaded Beta5 ROM from the link in post #1. Followed instructions to wipe data, wipe cache, and install ROM.

After rebooting, CM7 did launch, and after waiting for 1-2 minutes, I had a desktop. I set my time, setup my wireless connection, and was able to browse internet.

I could not find the app to launch GApps Market Installer, nor did it run automatically.

I still had all of my files and folders intact on the internal SD card. When I ran one of my video files, I had no sound. I did not try to plug/unplug the headphone jack, but decided at that point to restore from last backup, back to Vegan 5.1...

What steps did I miss for having the Google Apps install for me?

Thanks for all of the time and effort everyone is putting into this ROM!
[G Tablet Android Development] dezufnoC:
I had the same problem and it wasn't until I loaded GApps separately that I was able to get market installed. You can find GApps further down on first page or

here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps

Beware that you will most likely encounter the green droid welcome hold and you will need to do the 4 corner touch to pass through.
[G Tablet Android Development] wnbowman:
I had downloaded the Google Apps earlier, and the last updated comment from Bittrix was the installed kicks off automatically, with no need to download separately. I'll give your solution a shot to see how it works out. Thanks!
[G Tablet Android Development] RichTJ99:
BTW, where is the gapps download link? Last night I was playing & downloaded gapps from Cyanogenmod itself & when I tried to boot in, I was unable to click on the android guy (he kept lighting up when I clicked him but it wouldnt go any further).

That's how the Droid Incredible does it. It also mounts an .iso file as a CDROM drive!:rolleyes:

My temp workaround for Market: restore Market data from before CM7 via Titanium and Market shows all my apps in My Apps and able to update, this is temporary and next time you login market you will need to do this process again to see your apps.
[G Tablet Android Development] abstrusius:
On the android screen touch each corner one time starting with the upper LEFT, clockwise. Do this one time and touch the android. Maybe you will have to repeat the same procedure twice or more times until you reach the next screen. Be careful with the lower corners, as they are occupied by buttons.

Keyboard and Green Monster

It took a little while but, I read through the entire thread. Now I'm ready to form my question and put down what worked for me for bypassing the "Green Monster".

First, I continually had problems with the install of CM7 (all versions) until I did a compete NVFLASH back to factory (or as close as that gets me). Then I rooted with CWM .8 and wiped data and cache. Applied the CM7 v5 Beta then the gapps from the wiki link. Booted the tablet up and sure enough there was the green monster. The 4 corner trick didn't seem to work for me and I kept fighting with it. I literally sat there for 4 or 5 minutes continually tapping the 4 corners. It eventually took. I noticed that it seemed to work when I didn't quite tap in the exact corner. I was tapping in the corner but more toward the center. Admittedly maybe I'm imagining that part.... maybe it will help someone.

My problem now is that I get the continual FC for the Tap N Tap western keyboard. I tried to read the entire thread looking for the answer but, didn't find anything.

Also, how do I change the blasted keyboard in Gingerbread? In the settings I see the two keyboards (Android and Tap N Tap) but, how do I select the Android keyboard over the Tap 'n TAp?

Thanks, JS

I must say, I think that this Viewsonic tablet is simply awesome. The possibilities with it seem many. Original software was terrible but, the hardware and the support/creativity of the people you find here is awesome.

I bought this tablet so that I would stop screwing with my phone (Galaxy S) and it's worked so far! I haven't reloaded my phone for almost 2 weeks! Some kind of record for me!
[G Tablet Android Development] kampf:
Just flashed beta05 from the latest build of VEGAn. Twice. No market or any Gapps.

Flashed the latest Tegra build from the wiki and that got me in a weird loop, then no response.

Repeated the wipe data, wipe cache, and even Dalvik.

Now, with a simple flash of Beta05 only, I get into a loop where it boots, tries to do the intro "Touch Andy", and restarts several times until I'm just stuck at a looping Cyanogenmod intro.

I suspect /emmc or /sdcard data that's causing issues, but before I proceed and read this whole thread (again), has anyone else seen this?

[G Tablet Android Development] druiid:
For the thumb keyboard users out there, they just updated the app to support gingerbread so give it a try with this rom. I personally won't be trying again until the apps show in the market, though.
[G Tablet Android Development] abstrusius:
Internal! I did use the settings recommended by everyone here: 2GB/0MB.

Good luck!
[G Tablet Android Development] kampf:
Thanks.

Tried that and formatted the Internal SD using CWM to 2048M, wiped Data and Cache. Flashed Beta05.

Works, no Andy, no Market. Hmmmmmm.

Flashed 20101020 CM Tegra Gapps. Looping again.

Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik, reboot - got Andy for longer than .75sec, but loop again.

What am I missing here folks?
[G Tablet Android Development] abstrusius:
You don't seem to be using the latest version of gapps! Did you check this on the CM site? Go to the Apps section of this forum and check for the correct link:
