You might want to go investigate the custom firmware threads in the developer sub-forum... They all have a method for gaining near complete access to the market.

OTOH if you actually like the TapnTap UI, you can probably find the Nook and Google TV remote apks somewhere online, then read about using adb to install them from your computer, or how to enable installation from foreign source directly on the gTab(can't remember if it's on by default in stock or not since I gave up on TnT a LONG time ago and have pretty much settled on TnT lite ATM...)

[EDIT]

...just remembered... search this forum(and maybe the dev forum too) for info about applying some mods to stock firmware (root, Google market, etc.) if you REALLY want to stay stock... you're not going to learn a whole lot about Android in stock UI though as it's buried under the TapnTap UI... Vegan "ROM"(firmware) is closer to a vanilla Android 2.2 release...

[/EDIT]
[G Tablet General] MarkF001:
Installation from foreign source enabled by default, since there is no official Android Market, if it were disabled no software could be installed. If you find the '.apk' files download them to the device anf tap them then install.

3389 has a bad bug of slowing down when woken from sleep state. Only cure is to reboot. so you may want to look into one of the unofficial but from Viewsonic updated, if you want to keep that "stock' feel. If not there are many options for alternets that each have a loyal following.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] dgk:
Can I create a theme by just redesigning the original graphic files of one of the themes already included in the rom or this process is more complicated.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
yes you can.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] aznpr1de808:
its quite easy as long as you remember to edit files that wont effect the UI, use pngs with the same resolution, and dont mess with xml files lol if you dont have to... other than that its pretty much jus copy and pasting pngs from one theme to another... :D good luck btw sense based roms use the framework-res.apk and htc.resources.apk... and CM based roms use the framework-res.apk and the systemUI.apk if this helps ;)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Payaso1:
is there a program to custom themes already made.

I just read the posts and wanted to know if there was a program that can do what you guys are talking about. I would like to make my own themes with themes made by other people. If the is no program then where would one start. Thx in advanced.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I've been reading and reading on installing/flashing new ROMs. I'm truly hung up on 2 major areas.

1) I have downloaded all of the pertinent drivers, programs and ROMs I need. One thing I am having trouble understanding is where and how to save my existing setup. I have Titanium backup installed, however my backups are saved to the internal drive. This seems wrong due to the fact that ODIN wipes your system when installing a new ROM. I don't know if it works but I copied the file loaded in the internal drive and dragged to a folder on my computer. It is the Titanium backup folder from the phone. I have conflict with that because that's not a ROM.

2) Which of all the (2.2, 2.2.1, or 2.3 based) ROMs are THE MOST STABLE? I ask this because all of the ROMs I seem to look at have updates and many say Kernel ver etc. I kinda thought Phoenix ver 3.0 would be most stable due to it's time of existence but you can't find this any more, everything leeds you to ver. 3.5. This version show problems with different functions. This seems to be the norm with most ROMs out there. This is why I ask the poignant question.

I think, if I can solve these 2 problems, I will be ready to Flash away.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slifer315:
Installing a new ROM does not wipe your internal storage, it only wipes (usually) the /data, /dbdata, /system, and /cache partitions of your internal storage and not your personal files (/sdcard partition). Say you open the My Files app on your phone: everything you see there will not be deleted unless there is a line in the ROM install script to delete something, usually a lagfix folder or something that would cause complications with the installation of the ROM. The only thing that would wipe your personal internal storage is using master clear on odin (which deletes everything in the /sdcard partition), which is not a necessary step in installing any rom.

I'm currently using Serendipity with no problems, so it's pretty stable. Designgears' ROMs tend to be pretty stable, and even using the DocRambone's and Stefunel's romkitchen would produce a stable rom. I have not used any other roms recently, so I cannot speak to their stability.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMan94:
I'm trying to get ready to flash but have a problem. I've installed TiBu, rooted the phone and backed up. But, when I start TiBu it says it won't be able to restore due to phone configuration. Says to "Enable Unknown Sources" in Settings->Applications.

When I go there, that option doesn't exist. So I'm confused. Any help?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dungeon47:
If your ROM supports it, it will be under Settings>Applications.

I am running Stock 2.1 with JH7 OTA update.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crystalhand:
It does not exist in stock. Not a problem though if you are flashing a rom bc most roms have it enabled.

If you really want to do it from stock there are some guides out there. I think it is called sideloading but drawing a blank. Not really worth all the work though.

trying to go from COG to PER

and am trying to go to stock using ODIN 1 click from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDtxnH4lFuk to go to 2.1 stock...

i instaled the X64 drivers, the ODIN does work at first, and the adb comands work

first when i'm in debug mode and phone is one, i plug it, odin recognize it and is yellow.

then i do "adb reboot download" the phone goes to download mode, odin adds it then removes then adds again and removes

what to do?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dungeon47:
Layer 1 first. Try a different USB port, try a different USB cable.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iakovl:
switched cable switched port

now it "add remove" on normal connect but when in download mode it looks stable

worry that if i start the ODIN it will brick the phone it if"add remove" itself agin

and i was right... add remove again on ID 5 in download mode

the thing i dont get is that in storge mode it works fine... backuped right now 1.4G of data without problem
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
Has anyone ever worked on bringing this port to the Vibrant? I really love the Espresso rom, but haven't seen it for the Vibrant.

Please be kind enough to let me know if there is the Espresso port running out in the wild or at least why it hasn't been done? Is there a lack of demand for it or is it a very hard port to do?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe.kerwin:
It's the same concept as porting HTC sense. Yes it's hard. And technically, illegal to a degree.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] battlekry:
Check out the vibrant dev section.... There is in fact a Sense port being developed at this time... In that thread there are youtube videos which the developer barakinflorida has posted showcasing the progress he has made... unfortunately, he seems to be working solo at this point in time but I have a feeling Eugene will jump in at any time... My feeling is Vibrant owners are closer than ever to having a full Sense port..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
But when you say sense port are you talking about mytouch 4g or stock HTC Sense? Thanks to both of you for the quick response. I ask because it seems like the Nexus One its the only phone with that port. I tried it before on my N1 and it was almost good enough to be a daily driver.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] battlekry:
Dude like I said all the answers you need are in that post, in addition I do not believe it is the mytouh4g sense port but the Desire rom version of sense, which I have heard is superior...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:
pffftt...id almost trade my vibrant for a mytouch 4g at this point :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] battlekry:
Lol! Thank goodness for all the projects with potential going on....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
No offense to you, but I clearly stated that I am looking for the myTouch 4g port not HTC Sense. Thanks anyways. I guess we do not have a Dev working on bringing Espresso Sense to our Vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] battlekry:
Lol, and I clearly stated all the answers including what version of sense is being ported can be found in that thread. Also, this may be considered wishful thinking but perhaps once that sense port is fully working this may open the doors to other versions of sense being ported, however this is not an easy task hence the wishful thinking...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
Ok, well hopefully we get a stable port. Until then I'll just stick with Nero.

Hi everyone :):):)

I was wondering what is the best rom available for my milestone?

according to these points

-better battery life

-fast

please i need your answers

thanks in advance;););)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Patrol0019:
Hi, now i use

Fast & Light Rom

and i'm happy with it. It's very fast looks like stock rom and doesn't drain battery i use it over 2 months ! :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] The Solutor:
If you don't care about froyo the best rom on the battery life side is surely the stock rom 2.38 (released for italian and spain market) and the derivatives custom roms.

With a bit of overclock and the jit dalvik it is also damn fast.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] hearts king101:
thanks for the fast feedback

what about CM6 , ice & fire , HO NO rom.......
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] naresh9876:
they are also fast and stable. but some people still argues about it having a 'better battery life' (no oofence to kabaldan, iceandfire and HO!NO!)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] The Solutor:
They are all nice, and full of features but the battery life is still a lot of shorter than eclair 2.38, and this becouse the control on the involved part of sw is still in the hands of motorola.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] hearts king101:
ok thanks

lets ignore the matter of battery life

in general which one is the best ?

sorry for bothering u

many regards;););)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] The Solutor:
You should try yourself because is a matter of personal needs and preferences, I'm usually use froyomod or cm6 they are both nice and packed with useful options
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Backdraft11:
Telus v5. It may still be based on 2.1 but its damn stable and plenty fast, battery can last long if u downclock it slightly. Non of the quirks you read about from unofficial 2.2 ROMs.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] alijs:
I've tested Ice&Fire and its really great, fast & bettary is v. good. (best visual)

I'm using now CM 6.1.2 latest eddition as its using the latest leaked Kernal; peformance is great with no problem at all.

I liked more the FroyoMod 2.3 (also using latest leaked kernal), great one with the new Google goodies.

I switched between FroyoMod & CM 6.1.2 due to Arabic lang. testing

Good Luck

I can't seem to find a definite answer to this: Has anyone had an Apple bluetooth keyboard work with their g tablet?

I tried my friends ipad keyboard case but couldn't get it to connect to the g tab. Wish I knew how
[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
Same here. I have an iPad (company issued) with the keyboard but I can't make it pair with the gTab. It sees the keyboard and asks for a code and I've tried 0000 and the classic 1234 and neither seems to allow a connection.

A while back when I was looking for something similar and found this.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Slim-Bluetooth-Wireless-Keyboard-iPad-iPhone-PS3-/170578966478?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27b74c77ce

At the time the seller claimed it would work on any bluetooth enabled device including Android devices even though he doesn't list it in his description.
[G Tablet General] dpappyp:
I read that you can pick any code you want, then type it on the keyboard and hit "enter".
[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
I tried that just to check but no dice. In order for me to type it on the keyboard it needs to be paired with the device. It doesn't pair so that didn't work. It was worth a shot though.
[G Tablet General] hadley.43:
I tried using a seperate device and that didnt work either. Maybe some hack????

I tried typing on keyboard too and that didnt work... thought about it but no go.

[G Tablet General] Mrwoodchuck:
Hi all,

Sorry your having problems, what you need to do is get blueinput

its on the apps store, it works kind of.

Its been a few weeks since i set it up and used it,

From what I remember you have to install the apk into the system apk section on your tablet then just load the app and select the blueinput keyboard then it works.

it is limited and I lost connection a lot but as far as I could see it was the only way to get it to work.

Yes i used this with the mac keyboard, there is a topic on it somewhere in the g tab forums, and I believe it was a tutorial how to get it fully working.

If you guys cant find it I will do some digging or reinstall it and tell you all how to do it.
[G Tablet General] gunsjoe:
Yeah blueinput is what others are using, with that said most bluetooth things require a different program to get connected which sucks. They should have at least gotten bluetooth mouse and keyboard working in the Android OS by now...
[G Tablet General] Mrwoodchuck:
actualy i found the post where all of the info is at.

My screen timeouts etc are normal. Does this only happen when your MicroSD is inserted?

yes, this problem only takes place when I put the Class 10 card into the phone.
