Flashed back to stock and the flashed the fix and rotation worked. Are you willing to do some testing, or give me some info about your system? PM if so.

Thanks
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
Just flashed it and I can now rotate to the 3d view in maps on VEGAn 5.1 beta. I have to hold my fingers pretty far apart but it works.

Awesome. Thanks!

[G Tablet General] WillieBH:
Worked great for me on vegan5 and pershoot's kernel. Thanks
[G Tablet General] catttman:
Worked! for Adam 2nd edit <nice>
[G Tablet General] atakapa:
Works with TnT Lite 4.2.1 with clemsyn's kernel, didn't try it with default kernel or pershoot's.

Thanks.

To all,

This replaces build.prop in /system with what looks like the one from vega, so back it up before you flash.
[G Tablet General] jwischka:
Correct. The smarter thing to do would have been to patch the file with the one line that is needed:

ro.opengles.version=131072

For those of you who would like to do that, as well as pushing the correct multitouch file into system/etc/permissions, feel free.

If someone wants to incorporate the patch correctly, I'll be happy to edit the OP.
[G Tablet General] atakapa:
Just need to flash the .zip then edit your back-up build.prop with the above line and save/replace the Vega one.

This is what I did and it works perfectly.;)

/edit/ -- .zip for tnt_lite in next post (#11)
[G Tablet General] atakapa:
Here's the .zip with the corrected build.prop for Tnt_lite_4.2.1

Big Thanks to jwischka for finding this for the vegan rom. I just changed the build.prop to the one from tnt lite.

This would be installed like any supplement *.zip, no wiping data needed. It just adds an xml to the permissions folder and one line at the end of the build.prop to reference correct opengles version.

As always, you are responsible for your equipment and what you do to it.
[G Tablet General] palagai:
It worked fine, thanks.
[G Tablet General] debh945:
I'm using Vegan with stock kernel but using a modified build.prop to enable swype. I added the opengles line to the bottom of the build.prop and pushed the .xml to system/etc/permissions folder but still no joy. Funny, I had flashed the zip in recovery but when I went to make these edits later after reading the comments, my build.prop was unchanged and the new xml file not in the permissions folder, like the script didn't "take". I've rebooted several times but still no rotation. I can zoom just fine using multitouch but can't rotate. However, the little round dot on the top right does change to look like a compass when tap it. I don't think it did that before. ?? I'll be happy to test any other suggestions!

Thanks!
[G Tablet General] deep_powder2012:
I found that if you flash the file provided in the original post (THANKS SO MUCH, BTW!), and then go re-edit your build.prop with Root Explorer the same way the original directions said to initially enable Swype, it all works! (I've got full-on Swype and Maps 5.0 rotation going right now on Vegan b5.1). This tablet just gets better and better!

Swyped from my VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1
[G Tablet General] deep_powder2012:
Btw, I'm using Clemsyn's latest kernel.

Swyped from my VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1
[G Tablet General] jwischka:
If you want to send me your build.prop i'll integrate it into a zip and stick it in the OP.
[G Tablet General] tekrhino:
Thanks for the Fix

Map Fix worked with VEGAn,

Thank you!

Edit:

I finally got swype to work on my Gtab, so this with the maps fix is awesome!

Thank you Jwischka!

:cool:
[G Tablet General] deep_powder2012:
I'm booting up the tablet in order to extract my build.prop right now. Hopefully I can attach it to a PM and send it right to you.
[G Tablet General] deep_powder2012:
Ok, here we go. I put in a ZIP file so that I could upload it.
[G Tablet General] jwischka:
Updating first post.
[G Tablet General] 4rs fed:
worked great on vegan, now if i can just get earth on here Ill be one happy guy.
[G Tablet General] debh945:
Yay! Finally got it to work! For whatever reason flashing the zip did not work for me. I had to push the build.prop and permission xml files to their perspective locations and edit permissions for them but I'm thrilled to finally get it to work!

Thank You!!
[G Tablet General] GaryHypnosis:
Is this a two finger pinch or Multi.

Not sure if I am asking this right or not, but, is this for a multi fingered pinch or a two fingered pinch? I.E. Can you rotate with your fingers in multiple locations or only two locations (3D or 2D)?
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
I could always rotate the map with two fingers....could never get it to rotate (tilt) to a 3d perspective.

Sent from my Viewsonic 10" GTab...
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
hmm will this still work with latest maps? there's an update today.
[G Tablet General] deep_powder2012:
Wondering the same thing... Not quite sure I want to update as finally having the rotation is AWESOME and I don't want to lose it. Hopefully we can update.

Swyped from my VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1
[G Tablet General] atakapa:
Works with latest update today, at least on TnT Lite. Should be the same on the other ROMs.

Sent by smokesignals from my Gtab
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
hmm this is weird. not seeing google maps at all on the market.
[G Tablet General] jwischka:
Will work with the latest update - the fix has nothing to do with Maps per se.
[G Tablet General] debh945:
Me either, but it updated on my phone.
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
nm, had to do the market fix to see it.
[G Tablet General] tekrhino:
I had a google maps update notification from the Android market shortly after I flashed the Vegan/Swype compatible fix.

Rotation still worked on the GTab.

=o)
[G Tablet General] deep_powder2012:
Thanks again, jwischka. I can confirm it works just fine with no problems at all. I just had to wait until Google's severs calmed down last night before the market would let me download Maps 5.1.

Swyped from my VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1
[G Tablet General] TeutonicWolf:
Thanks! That's the line I was missing (I already had the XML files in the permissions set...)

Added the OpenGL line, pushed back and a quick CHMOD == now working great.
[G Tablet General] smalis:
Beautiful! I am Vegan 5.1 with Swype, so I took the build.prop from your zip, replaced the first section with the Swype edit (not sure why the two differed), and flashed the zip.

Works perfectly! Thank you!
[Desire General] danielsf:
Hi, I have the desire, and well I'm board with it, I want to mess around with different roms like miui, gingerbread extra. But I don't understand, please could someone help me with some of my questions? Thank :) :

1) What are the chances of breaking it through rooting, and what could happen, and would should you do it it does happen?

2) what does bricked mean, and is there away of unbricking?

1) what do you do if a bad rom breaks?

1.5) what are the chances of things going wrong?

2) Can you have more than one rom installed at a time, and switch between them, a bit like you can with launchers, and uses the same apps and data on those roms?

2.5) Is unrevoked the best way to root?

3) I you can have more than one rom, can you have a gingerbread rom, side loaded with a froyo from?

4) How do you switch between the roms?

5)Does rooting affect battery life?

6) Using unrevoked, is there anyway to unroot?

7) where do you find roms, and does the rom manager in the market allow you to install them without flashing?

8)Is there a good htc sense hd or gingerbread rom that works well?

9) With different roms increase the speed of the device, like the n1 is faster than the desire, yet they have the same hardware?

I know that a lot of questions but i am really nervousness about this and I can't seem to find todate answerers to these questions. If someone could help me with these questions I would be very great full, as I want to get more our of my device. Thanks :) ( I know there are a lot of rooting threads, but I really need to find out as much as i can before I undergo this, I love my desire too much to allow it to break when there was something that i could have done)
[Desire General] Meaple:
There is a remote chance (0.00000001%) of anything going wrong as long as you follow the steps to the rooting process and S-Off. If you become bricked then there is a topic on how to unbrick.

Easiest and best way to root is to using unrevoked 3.32. Make sure you download the HBoot drivers from their website. After rooting, it is also good to make your device S-Off'd. Your able to flash HBoot templates to change partition sizes and also change the splash and remove system apps and so on.

You can only have 1 rom installed at a time. You have to flash roms as well, that's how you install them and other zip files through the recovery. If a rom breaks, you can just flash it again. Installing a rom takes 5 mins, if that really.

You find roms in the Android Dev section. You can use Rom Manager but you have to pay or something.

You can have a fast rom or a "slower" rom. It depends on how it's been built and stuff but also the kernel can help to speed things up. (Speed isn't always the answer). There is no best or crappiest rom either. It's best to test many out for yourself.

Battery life again depends on the rom and the kernel.

Things To Download

To root a device

To S-Off your device

Roms and alsort of other nice things

Hope this helps you out.
[Desire General] danielsf:
Thanks very much :), but do you need to install "S-Off" as I don't quite understand what it does, and which one to download and how to install it. Thanks :)
[Desire General] Meaple:
You don't need to install S-Off after a root. S-Off just allows you to do more things like uninstall system apps, change the splash screen, change the HBoot (not quite sure what else). If your not going to be doing them sort of things then stay away from it.

When you root, the unrevoked utility roots it and changes the recovery to ClockworkMod 2.5.1.8. That recovery allows you to boot into it and install roms through it. It has a menu and you use your optical tracker to navigate through them. That is how you install different roms.

With the roms, you need to see which one you like. I've been through almost all of them and I have one I stick to now. I can't say which is the best, that's for you to decide. The Gingerbread roms are Android 2.3 and I THINK, emphasis on the THINK, that the rest of the roms are Android 2.2.

I think at first your like, oh what if I mess things up and stuff but you won't if you follow instructions. When I first did it, I completely messed up and couldn't even boot into a rom at all and was wondering how to sort it out. I got there in the end but still. I also forgot to mention, if you want the stock rom back, you can install one of the RUU's. It will wipe everything and you will have to root again, but you will have stock.
[Desire General] danielsf:
Thanks very much :), when change roms will you lose all of your apps, and data?
[Desire General] Meaple:
Yes. When your changing roms, you have to erase all data. It is a must and everything will go, apps, user data including texts and contacts, EVERYTHING!!!.
[Desire General] danielsf:
Thanks so much for all your help, i'm going to do it now, and use cyanogen mod 7 or 6.x. Thanks again :)
[Desire General] Meaple:
No worries. If you get stuck, just message me or something.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Completely IGNORE S-OFF if you're a n00b, it shouldn't be recommended to anyone who:

1. Doesn't know what it is

2. Doesn't actually need it

Concentrate on rooting and running a custom ROM first
[Desire General] Meaple:
Not actually true. When I S-Off'd my Desire, I didn't have a bloody clue, other than it disables all security, what it was. You eventually learn things like I did and read a little more. S-Off is a great tool to have on your phone because it gives you all the more freedom to do what ever you want with your device. I will say for all the "n00bs" out there that if you are S-Off'ing then please read it all carefully, unlike me because I could have messed it all up.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You were lucky - better to learn first, do second
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I saw recently a wiped imei which made me cautious
[Desire General] danielsf:
Thanks for all you help, I have rooted and now have a custom rom (cm 6.1). Thanks :)
[Desire General] Nuntius:
I would add that if you're a n00b, don't even try to get your device rooted!
[Desire General] Meaple:
I would ask if that's even possbile. Apparently it is.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Delete the efs storage without a backup... doh
[Desire General] stringent:
I had a stock Desire and wouldn't move from it. Then the niggles in the current build just annoyed me enough to actually go down the root route (see what I did there? :) )

So I rooted and after a few mishaps along the way (make backups of everything, phone and SD card, especially if you partition it!) I am very happy with my Ginger Villain ROM. A few things still niggle (Me avatar in texts blank, phone reboots randomly to name a few), but its not as bad as it used to be. I can live without Sense as well surprisingly enough.

I also did the same for a friend, and stuck them on LeeDroid 2.3d and as they are technically challenged, it works for them sweet as.
[Desire General] Meaple:
Haha that made me laugh. As for your contact icon of yourself, you need to add yourself. Your own number and name and then you can add a picture. Yes it is annoying a little because Android natively doesn't have like a "contact card" for yourself.

Rooting and S-Off is the best thing I did by far :D
[Desire General] Lothaen:
bump creates a contact card for yourself...

right at the top of the phonebook called 'My Contact Card'
[Desire General] stringent:
Odd, I don't have that, I had it in the Sense UI, not on the stock Ginger Villain ROM, unless I am missing something ...
[Desire General] Lothaen:
mines official sense UI too! - just installed bump, launched it - it told me to create a contact card - filled in email/phone and exited and there it was in my people app :)
[Desire General] Zheiko:
Is there any chance of getting sense ui into gingerbread? I miss some features like hooking Google and Facebook contacts into one, or having nice widget for emails directly on screen.. any suggestions for that?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Yes...

...if HTC release an update ;)
[Desire General] Zheiko:
So, we just have to wait...:( anything official from HTC?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I want that too...

nothing from HTC - they won't budge on information at the moment.

I guess its not possible to have gingerbread - push on Froyo sense UI files and see what happens?
[Desire General] Zheiko:
I am actually surprised, that nobody took the sense ui and customized that to be working on 2.3
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Far too much work involved, plus most people don't like it. Better off using an HD ROM
[Desire General] wildcardspv:
It may not be quite what you're looking for, but maybe you could try Launcher pro?

I'm using it on a GB ROM and it has some nice sense style widgets built into it for Facebook/contacts etc.

I think there's a free version on the Market.

EDIT:

Here it is...

[Desire General] Zheiko:
Thanks, I actualy got that sorted now, tried few of DHD roms, and found one which is exactly what I was looking for(even though its still froyo, but with gingerbread keyboard)

Thanks anyway
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spx2000:
I am going to be traveling in Asia for a month. I don't need any of bells and whistles and I want a phone that is very stable, very energy efficient and GPS camera definitely has to works. Which rom/kernel will you recommend? any setting tricks? Thanks

I have tried Rod's MiuiMod, CM6.1.1, CM7 and many others.

I found that CM7 + WM 1/6/2011 kernel gives me the best battery life, but CM7 is still not in stable stage yet.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
I have had the most battery life with Enomthers Rom, currently he is away on personal responsibilities but his latest stable rom is very battery efficient!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phburks:
I have no recommendation as to kernel/rom combinations, but for long battery life I use this:

http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innocell-Battery-Google-Replacement/dp/B003FSTBP4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1296521084&sr=8-2

I got really tired of barely making through a day without having to recharge so I bought one of these. I got mine for $61 on Amazon and free shipping. It's 3200mah which is over twice the stock battery. My first full charge/discharge cycle I got over 34 hours of moderate usage and it's supposed to get better after a few charge cycles. It does make your phone about 30-40% thicker (comes with it's own custom battery cover), but for the battery life you get it's well worth the added thickness. I also find it's a little easier to hold on to.

Anyway, maybe not the solution you're looking for but for me it was well worth the money.

Just my 2 cents.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spx2000:
That's one big battery :) Thanks tho, but I want my N1 to stay small.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I second the recommendation for Enomther's. Rock-stable.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wang1404:
I have no combo recommendation cuz I haven't found a really good one yet. Right now I'm using cm6.1 and wild monks kernel. It's been decent for me. But I suggest using set cpu, put on power save mode when you don't use the phone. It'll be there forever. Turn off data connection and gps as well. Also using less like half the animation helps speed up the phone and saves battery too.

Ps I'm combining inexus theme too and their icons plus the animations are amazing! My phone looks colorful as hell!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phburks:
Lol yea it does add some bulk but it sure is reassuring to know I don't have worry about my battery dying before the day is over. I use my phone a lot and don't have time to really recharge it much and I don't like the idea of carrying extra batteries so this works very well for me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FC1032:
I haven't done too many Roms, but miui has given me the most battery life out of stock, cm and miui.

I've been travelling and I managed to get 4-5 days with minimal calls and very light usage. If you use it normally with wifi and regular calls, 2-3 days is usually the limit.

Both these numbers are with auto airplane mode during my sleep hours.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqzgkxokwa:
What i have heard is that CM7 is 20-30% more efficient with battery life than CM6
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xzr3b0rnzx:
Not true
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creativedevil:
That really is a personal opinion.

In my personal opinion, CM7 Nightlies are really stable. After a real heavy usage i.e. playing games, surfing, calls, messages, i get about 15 hours a day.

My phone is fully charged when I leave at 8 and by 8 pm battery will be somewhere between 40 and 45 % left.

Bugs are there with CM7 Nightlies but so far I haven't had any problems with it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikiksaz:
Recently I've been through about 3 roms, and of the three (rod's, micromod's own GB aosp, and leo's GB aosp, leo's gives me the best battery life.

It might be because he incorporated the battery driver, though.
[G Tablet General] rswindle:
So a little reading tells me that ext4 may prematurely kill your flash vs. yaffs2 which does something called 'hardware levelling' natively in the way it works, balancing the write accesses across the whole of the flash so you don't write too many times to the same places as this will cause those portions of your flash to die faster.

I would like to put ext4 on the gtablet, but given this I want to be certain we have hardware wear leveling built in, which is apparently not uncommon in modern flash medias.

So I found these two links after googling the chips in the hardware tear down thread, the hynix appears to be the flash controller and the samsung is the actual 16gb nand flash.

The way this reads to me, I think the flash itself has leveling built in, but I want to get someone elses opinion as it's a little vague..

[G Tablet General] babybacon:
it appears to be a problem similar to osx not having TRIM support for their ssd's
[G Tablet General] blackSwanBB:
Almost all flash media has wear leveling. The wear leveling happens completely behind the scene, specifically the flash controller will remap the physical flash blocks to different sectors. Triggering the agorithm is most likely an implementation choice, it most likely occurs on every write. As the flash controller performs this task behind the scenes, the OS / user has no insight into it. Ultimately you should not be worried about it, even if the flash controller has no wear leveling, it still must is able to remap the sectors if you do end up burning out some of the flash blocks by continually writing to the journalling sectors.
[G Tablet General] muqali:
You can make an ext4 filesystem and mount it without a journal.

mke2fs -O extent,flex_bg,^has_journal /dev/to/format

Add any other options you want, might want to check what the defaults are in mke2fs.conf for dir_index and stuff just in case.

Support was added for mounting ext3 filesystems without a journal as well, .29+ kernels iirc.

Alright, so I bought an Optimus One P500 off someone who claimed it it was unlocked (Original carrier Telus) but when I got home to test it out I found out it wasn't! What a shocker. So the guy I bought it off of is not replying and I can't get my money back. I read on some threads that it's possible to do a "USB Unlocking" (So I can use my phone with other carriers and not actually have to pay someone 20 bucks for a code) however through my search to find how to do this I couldn't find anything. Anyone have any tutorials they can give me? Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] denyboy:
From the first day i used android on my HD2 (had WM only 1 day) i always used Advanced Task Killer and i always have issue with freezing while playing games and on other occasions. Until today i havent realized those two are connected. I always tought freezing was becouse overheating.

Today i installed Automatic Task Killer just to test it for few days and i played NFS Shift for almoust 25 minutes. 10 minutes was impossible before. I tried some other demanding games and they worked great.

To prove the theory i installed Advanced Task Killer back and again i have freezing after some playing. Have to take out the battery or press reset hole.

Other thing i noticed is best described as jumping from 20FPS to 40FPS while playing NFS Shift and NOVA. It was good with Advanced Task Killer but with Automatic Task Killer it feels better, feels much smoother and more responsive. Everything seems a bit more resposive (this could be subjective perception).

I didnt know this could be the issue. I hope this will be helpfull to someone.

please make difference between Advanced Task Killer and Automatic Task Killer while reading this.
