Maybe an update with Rom Manager? Weird! Oh it wont stick I had to manually flash through Terminal to flash back to 3.xx. it still give me the "recovery error" flash! Drew's way was soooo easy Lol!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 3mperor:
The same happened to me i couldn't get back to cm7 from ice glacier.try reflashing clockwork 3.x through cm6.

glad my phone isnt the only one doing this. It used to always work on your method before last night, but now refuses to work correctly. Good luck on a fix, and thanks again for the BEST way to flash between gingerbread and froyo sense around :)

Hi all,

The title says it all. Any response would be appreciated b4 I decide to buy this unit.

Thanks.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Hard to say but probably.

I wouldn't buy anything based on what it may be able to do . Buy it because it does what you want now. There is no guarantee it will ever be any better than it is now..
[G Tablet General] geeter:
Maybe, but Sprdtyf350 has it exactly right. Buy it if you like what it does today. TnT Lite and the other custom roms have some pretty cool functionality already and for me that is half the fun of having an android tablet. If that wasn't my interest, I would probably get an ipad.
[G Tablet General] GameDoctor:
This G-tablet has an amazing amount of support from the Android community here and elsewhere.

I think it is a safe bet it will be supported, at least as a custom ROM from the community here, the hardware is quite advanced.
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
There's no way to tell for sure 'officially'. I don't believe in promises and I don't believe in updates until they're hitting my device. As others have mentioned I'm sure it will get strong support from the devs here on XDA.

Personally, I think VS will also support it pretty far into 2011 - they would be stupid not to. If you take a look at all the stuff coming in Q1 2011, they are all based on very similar 'guts' as the G Tablet, in other words there's really no reason the G Tablet can't stay 100% competitive with/against all the new stuff coming, if VS keeps the software current and as bug free as possible.

The good news for us is, even if VS doesn't....we'll still have all these ROMs based on the plethora of tablets running on similar guts as the G Tablet coming out. Sort of a win-win and exactly why I decided to keep mine. The only thing you really have to worry about is shoddy/faulty hardware which it doesn't look like the device suffers from in excess.

android 3.0 on gtablet??

Hey Guys,

it's almost a month that I haven't heard from you about the chance to get android 3.0 installed on gtablet.

Any news about it?

Thanks in advance

[G Tablet General] default42:
No as can been seen by the general lack of honeycomb issues thread.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
When honeycomb is released the GTab will get honeycomb. At this time no one has honeycomb. And yes I'm including the sdk emulator port on the Nook. That is not a working version of honeycomb just the emulator running on an sdcard. The GTab has all the same hardware as every other Honeycomb tab being released so it will probably get a port of honeycomb
[G Tablet General] Pazzu510:
today is the prerelease of the xoom and in a week it is its release. lets see how much it takes to have the honeycomb.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
No pressure, no pressure.....

Someone get us a Xoom nvflash dump and I bet we'll see a GTAB port. :D
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
What will be the name of the honeycomb port? Gcomb? :D

[G Tablet General] cmlaney:
Anything...?

Just checkin back in....has there been any progress porting Honeycomb from the Xoom to the GTab? I'm very excited to try it as soon as it comes out! :)
[G Tablet General] David Silva:
I believe the devs need the final sdk before they can work their magic - can't just rip the Xoom and install on the G Tab
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
They need source and nvidia libs
[G Tablet General] cjackxiii:
I think the interest in honeycomb is a bit overrated. Everything that I want out of a tablet I am already able to achieve, thanks to the devs on this forum. The only thing I'm jealous of is Honeycombs music app. In my opinion, other than the music app, honeycomb doesn't offer anything to me other than a little bit of eye candy.

Don't get me wrong I very much want Honeycomb on my tablet, but not the extent that I'm going to piss off fellow forum members/devs asking about it.
[G Tablet General] Kayak83:
I think we'll first see the apps ported and then the full OS. The music app will come first, of course. Honeycomb has more or less the same functionality of the other Android brethren but is designed specifically for tablets without physical buttons.
[G Tablet General] lcyn:
Impressions

I had an opportunity to try the xoom out today, and having a G Tablet, I was able to compare. The Xoom is slightly lighter than the G, but not by much. The form is very nice, with pleasantly beveled edges.

I was very impressed with Honeycomb, and found it to be a very nice and smooth ROM. It will take some getting used to, as it is different than standard android. I am currently using the gingerbread experimental, and honeycomb is only slightly faster. The xoom screen is nicer, with better viewing angles, although I remain satisfied with the g Tablet screen.

I do not think that the Xoom is so much better than the G to justify the price. When and if we get Honeycomb on the G we will be able to compare Apple's to Apple's, and I expect the G will fare well in the match up.
[G Tablet General] Hellburger:
No, (most of) the new apps use frameworks that only exist in Android 3.0 (Fragments, new animation APIs, etc), and therefore will not work without a ROM based on 3.0

Most of the apps .apk's have been available for a few weeks, but are of little use without 3.0
[G Tablet General] GTablet:
+4 HoneyTab!
[G Tablet General] ThinkerT:
Really? What is this "Honey-comb"? I don't think anyone here has heard of it, so I don't think there will be much interest...

Seriously, there's no need for anyone to keep asking. There's plenty of interest, so whenever someone makes any progress on it you'll see posts about it right away.
[G Tablet General] David Silva:
Hiya cjack

I would really enjoy the Marketplace formally recognizing tablets, I hope that will happen with Honeycomb. Looking forward to support for Tegra etc too.
[G Tablet General] cazwizzle:
Current state of marketplace support for Android 3.0 reminds me of the original TnT support for the same... abysmal. I'm glad to have an Android GTab that does everything I need (thanks to the devs here, of course)! Those of us running GTabs with mods likely have the best Android tablet period.
[G Tablet General] rogersranch:
Honeycomb will be available for the G-tab when it is availalable. For those of you anxoius about it, just keep watching the g-tab dev forums. When it becomes available, and I beleive it will, considering that devices currently running it have similar hardware; it will be announced there.
[G Tablet General] lostpilot28:
Interesting review. I've also got a GTab, currently running TNT Lite 4.2.4. I made a trip down to the local Best Buy today to check out the Xoom, as well. I can tell you that from my perspective it is NOT lighter. Actually, the specs support my perspective, with the Xoom weighing in at about 1.5 ounces heavier. Either way, it's not significant, but I did notice that it felt heavier (mostly because of the thin bezel, which I'll explain next).

Some other review also noted the thinner bezel on the Xoom and I thought that was a lame argument against the G-Tab, but I was really surprised at how much harder it is to hold a Xoom when you're working with less real-estate on each side. A little perspective here, but I have fat thumbs, and I had to hold the edge of the Xoom to keep my thumbs off the screen (I hold on to one side and navigate with the other hand). I don't have that problem with the G-Tab. I actually like the look of the smaller form factored Xoom better, but I found it was harder to hold, and I could feel the weight of it more because of this. Leverage was working against the Xoom...at least for me.

As for the screen, yes it is nicer. I instantly noticed the viewing angles being "all there". No washout, and I could adjust the brightness from all the way down to full bright. I was inside Best Buy so I don't know about outdoor viewing, but indoors it is very bright. I know the Xoom screen specs out a little higher than the G-Tab, but I don't notice any clarity lacking on either screen. The Xoom's touchscreen seemed to be more responsive to my touch, too. Aside from the viewing angles and sensitivity, there was nothing else immediately better about the Xoom screen.

Overall speed of the Xoom was fine. I've read a review that states the Xoom was bug ridden and slow, but I didn't see any of that. I also wouldn't say that it was any faster or slower than the G-Tab. They both seem to switch between screens fluidly and without stuttering. I'm hopeful that Honeycomb, err, Honey-cream, will be just as smooth on the G-Tab.

So, overall, from my subjective review, the Xoom's screen is better. But, the G-Tab screen has never really bothered me. I can't imagine paying $400 more dollars for a Xoom. I'd probably buy one over a G-Tab if the price were within $100, and that would have to be with no service contract (of course).

Lastly, I do wish that the G-Tab had more readily available accessories like the Xoom. Obviously Motorola did the right thing by making sure this product was released with everything you could possibly want, accessory-wise (car charger, nifty folding carrying case, etc).
[G Tablet General] r2d2tek:
I spent a good part of the day handling several Xoom units and talking to reps and sales associates. Nobody knew much of anything about this new product!

I was not impressed by anything but the screen viewing angles. I run vegan5 on my gtab. I thought all of the Xoom units that I played with had slightly less responsive touch qualities, but not enough to complain about. My gtab is very fast and responsive. I run the gtab's screen density at 120 so all my icons and text appear the same as the higher resolution Xoom screen. The Xoom has just a tad better clarity due to it's native resolution being higher than the gtab.

The Xoom's build quality is very good. But the gtab is no slouch in this respect either. Mine has had a lot of use and still cannot be distinguished from new.

The extra 512meg of RAM was not apparent in the tasks I ran on the Xoom, but I'm sure it is a good thing to have.

I think that we are blessed to have our multiple flavors of froyo running nearly bug free on the gtab. Honey(cream)comb seems not quite ready for prime time.

The market on the Xoom is terrible!

And Motorola had their heads up their collective watchcalit when they used such a fragile power connector in the WRONG place (bottom of the unit). Try using the Xoom in your vehicle and the power connector is going to break. All in all, I agree that we have the best possible android tablet at this time.

I played with the Xoom camera and took many closeup pics of the $799 price tag so that the next customer who viewed the gallery would think twice about making a purchase. Motorola and Verizon need to get their price in line with reality. Or at least get flash working before insulting the tablet market with their over-inflated prices.

But no offense intended for those who laid down their cash for the Xoom. In time it will be better supported and it's going to do a lot of good work for everyone who owns one. You folks just have more disposable income than I do. :(

My feeling is that the new malata replacement for the zpad may be the tablet to drool over. Who is going to re-badge it and bring it into the U.S.? Maybe the xda forum members need to do a group buy from malata and the xda devs can have a field day creating a custom android 3.0 OS for it. How many would we have to buy at a time?

(I guess we'd have to see at least one first, but I thought I'd throw the idea out there because it is obvious that open source is only going to be successful in the greater consumer market if fickle corporate decision makers make way for genuine open source thinking, as seen right here in this forum. All that's necessary is that we have the requisite hardware . . . how about it, Malata?)

So I want to make an app but have NO experience...are there any tutorials? I want to make simple and advanced apps(maybe for some extra cash? Lol) any help?

Why don't you go to the official android developers page?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gahh Its Lee:
Not everyone knows how to find the pages they need. Perhaps provide a link? I assume he hasn't come across that yet since he's asking.

Thank you, I will start there. I knew about it but not exactly where it was..also if there are other tutorials out there I would be more than happy to have them thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tycoon177:
Are there any shorter guides or maybe easier way to go through I am overwhelmed with all of this info

Programming is always hard. I suggest starting with a simple app that has 3 screens and a couple of buttons for interaction and maybe some images.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tycoon177:
Do you have any suggestions for staring apps for this
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tycoon177:
Anyone?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jonathon Grigg:
First of all, do you know how to write in Java? Because none of the tutorials I have found include that part. You will find it very hard if you don't! Pick up a book on Java, and read all the way through it first. I found books better than online for some reason. It doesn't matter if the book is a few years old, many of the concepts will be the same.

Then find some beginning tutorials for developing Android apps. I've found a few, and I will update this if I find any more, but here are some:

http://hackaday.com/2010/07/12/android-development-101-–-a-tutorial-series/

http://www.vogella.de/articles/Android/article.html

http://androidwizard.net/ -- Make sure you have a look at the beginner ones first, because there are many tutorials here.

Then if you require more detail, move on to the info at developer.android.com/ as it is more advanced (well its aimed at users who already know a bit).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] realhades:
I would also learn just some basics on how a program flows. It is essential since most programmers know several languages or are able to know how to read code without knowing the syntax. After you get the basics down, look through all the examples given with the SDK and see if you understand it. Hope that helps. Good luck!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tycoon177:
Do you have a suggestion for the type of java for the book? I am using eclipse
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tycoon177:
Anyone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] realhades:
I read "Sams Teach Yourself Android Application Development in 24 Hours". It was pretty cheap and they also have a java one. It was a nice start, pretty good explanation of code and space out each part so not overwhelmed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tycoon177:
Should I read the java one first? And where would I get this book? Im just wanting to learn this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] realhades:
I only read the android one. I would say read the android one and if you are lost after the second or third chapter, read it again (they are short) and if still not understanding then get the java one. It all depends on you're background and current knowledge...also remember Google is you're friend for words/statements that you don't recognize. Hope that helps, and.you can get book at barnes and noble or borders. It seems to be a common book.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
so i was in the process of doing a custom splash screen last night. i went through all the instructions on how to push the custom splash through terminal. everything went how the instructions said, but once i reboot it my phone turned off and never came back on. it doesnt power on, boot into recovery, nothing! i put the phone to charge and the red light comes on on the top left but when i take it off the charger it stays on.

i been rooted for about a month now and i was running cm7 build 8 when this happened. i just want to see if anybody has any idea on what going on. i tired everything i can think of. taking out the battery and normally powering on and nothing. taking off the battery and volume down and power to boot into recovery and nothing. taking off the battery, sd card, sim, putting back the battery and doing both normal power on and to boot into recovery and nothing.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackSHELF:
First of all you just hijacked the guys old dead thread and second it sound like you just bricked your phone. As there is boot animation and there is slash screen. Seems like you flashed wrong thing. If the screen don't even turn on its dead then.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VolcanicSkunk:
Don't flame the poor guy! He's got it bad enough as is! And he didn't flash the "wrong thing" there are several threads on flashing splash screens in this phone's forum. Cut the guy some slack. He knows it may be bricked, he's just hoping it's not. And he was hoping for someone to provide some possible help. Not be be given **** for not opening a new thread.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
i thread jacked because the thread was old and didnt want to clutter by starting a new one when im having some what the same problem. but no i pushed the splash image. i had already flashed a boot animation a few day back. i had call of android running on my phone as a boot animation. i just want to know is theres other methods of reaching hboot or recovery.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackSHELF:
First of all don't put words in my mouth as my post does not contain any flame, second when I said wrong thing I meant he may not have meet the requirement for the splash image if he did correctly then obviously he would have had it up and running. Best thing for him would be going back to the original thread where he downloaded the image and asking the OP and troubleshoot it but at this point its to late all he can do now is warn others.

But if his phone is not old lol he can social engineer and play the victim card and send it back to HTC but first would be trying TMo saying he didn't get the POST OTA as he had PRE OTA and when he try to install the OTA it went blank and act like he has no idea what is going on, as he simply just want the phone to work or he will cancel service and do acting best of his life.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
i already know i probably super bricked it. becuase ive bricked it before but not like this. i was able to fix it very quickly before. its like if the phone just doesnt have a battery. im just going to wait to see if anybody else has any more input. if not ill head to the tmo store see what they can do.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VolcanicSkunk:
I do apologize for using the word flame. It was too strong. But I get fired up when people criticize instead of offering insight. If you had posted the above paragraph first, I wouldn't have had any issues. This is good and viable option. Albeit a last resort, but much better than criticizing for thread jacking. And I am the OP of the thread that he's using and am doing EVERYTHING I can to help him figure out a way to get this resolved.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:
ok, I just got caught up on your issue. I am going to do a little research and see if I can come up with anything to maybe help. Do you have adb set up? What recovery are you running?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
thanx every one for trying to help. i tried everything i can think of and i could not get that phone to power on at all. it was completely dead. so i went to the tmo store by my pad and they gave me a brand new one. now i just need to gain s=off on this one which i cant do for some reason. i dont know why since it was fairly easy to gain s=off on my other mt4g. ill figure out though.
