Something Very Strange....

At the time I had Vegan Ginger Experimental running and the VT Launcher Beta. Everything was working just fine (or as fine as an exp. could run), then I thought to check Vegan-Tab's site http://vegantab.gojimi.com/2011/02/24/new-boot-animation/ just to see if any updates had been posted, and noticed a newer version of the VT Launcher (Beta 1.3) had been uploaded (or Im just an idiot and it was the same version) , so I decided to install the newer? version... this is where the strangeness incurs.

Instead of just installing the newer launcher over the one I had, for some reason I uninstalled the one I had then installed the other. Please note that at this time I had VT Launcher set as my default launcher (not sure if that would matter). After the install, I hit the Home button and all Hell broke out.

- It seemed like my touch capabilities (atleast on the screen, 4 side buttons still worked) just stopped working

- The window that pop ups from a long press on the Home page (wallpaper, shortcuts, etc..) kept popping up on its own, and everytime I would hit the Home side button (all I could do), the window would go away but would come back after bout a second... everytime.

Initially I thought no big deal, I made multiple backups for different ROMs and thought just re-flasing a ROM or using a backup to restore a previous ROM would fix the issue, no dice...

I tried:

- Re-flashing VTab Ginger Exp. (yes, with proper kernel)

- Flashing other ROMs (TnT 4.25, Vegan 5.1.1, even the Stock 3588)

- Restoring previous backups (all ROMs listed above)

- All the while changing the kernel used depending on the ROM (Ginger/Froyo)

- I used all the steps Ive read about in installing a ROM on each flash/restore

(Wipe Factory/Reset & Cache, Mount System/Data/Cache, Format S/D/C)

- Even tried clearing Delvik and resetting Battery Stats

Everything I tried resulted in the same symptoms:

- My Touch capabilities not working (or atleast ~98% not working, very strange)

- The long press on Home Screen window constantly popping up

I dont understand how uninstalling a default launcher and reinstalling the same launcher could cause this across multiple flashes/restores but that is when this began. I have the touch calibration zip used in cwm somewhere on my laptop and will be trying this next, just not sure if it will make any difference.

Sorry for the long post, just thought if I listed all the symptoms I observed, this would hopefully ring a bell for someone who experienced the same thing, or atleast would know what I could try next. Thanks for any help!!
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Well... you tried everything I would have (with exception of an nvflash). However, before you do that, how about running the calibration fix?

Create a blank file called calibration.ini on your sdcard and sdcard2. Then, reboot, don't touch the screen during the boot and see what happens. Hopefully you just knocked out your calibration.
[G Tablet Android Development] Dueces99:
Id have to boot back into recovery to make sure, but I'm pretty sure I have the calibration.ini file already there. I coincidentally stumbled on that little trick couple days ago. Only reason why Im' not 100% positive its still there is all of the formatting/wiping I tried today but I don't think that would affect that ini file. Will check back though

Also, how would a simple launcher uninstall/install affect my calibration? Issues like this are almost more annoying to me because I don't know what caused the problem versus the actual repercussions... ugh

Edit: The TouchRecalibrate mod I mentioned initially didnt make a difference when flashed in cwm

Edit Edit: Just checked sdcard and sdcard2, calibration.ini file is present. Looks like my next stop is nvflash. I wanted a reason to do a full format, guess i just found it
[G Tablet Android Development] nitefallz:
My sd card (sdcard2) is extremely slow to do anything with while mounted in the tablet. I saw this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010767) on a different board and wondered if there's the same option we can manage on this build to possibly increase performance?
[G Tablet Android Development] drummr8:
Hey sorry if this is a redundant question... tried searching and couldn't find much.

Has anyone tried this ROM with pershoot's newest kernel revision (2.6.32.36)?

If so, how does it run? Any problems?
[G Tablet Android Development] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Runs just fine for me.
[G Tablet Android Development] Dueces99:
So I was finally able to fix my no touch capabilities from my initial post found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12629839&postcount=553

I thought I had tried flashing back to the stock ROM 3588 but guess not, cuz it did get rid of my issues. On first boot, the touch was still extremely finicky (having to press hard and long to show response) and the home widget screen thing? kept popping up constantly. But once I powered down and back on, all issues finally went away... yay!

For others, I am in no way saying that VTLauncher or Vegan Tab Ginger are to blame for this, it was just when I started showing these symptoms. I have pm-ed gojimi so he is aware of this now.

Also, what sparked me to try the 3588 stock rom was a post by butchconnor that I found extremely helpful (in general, not just for this) regarding trying to get a true format-all setup and him suggesting the stock rom being the closest (for the most part) to get your tab to this state.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12625107&postcount=6

Hope this is helpful to others, if anyone ever experiences this.
[G Tablet Android Development] tenshino:
Awesome work as always, Gojimi!
[G Tablet Android Development] sverbanic:
I'm pretty sure if a custom rom is built using pershoot's kernel then you can only update to newer pershoot's, not clemsyn's. Likewise if the rom was built using clemsyn's kernel, you need to stick with his and not try to use pershoot's.

It appears, from my testing, that if you're using a rom built on the stock kernel, you can go down either path, but that's with limited tesing.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Not exactly. Some kernels just refuse to play friendly with some ROMS and visa-versa. For instance, Chevyno1's kernel works better on CM7 for my DROID than sholes. However, chevyno1 ulv kernel crashed my my phone, I had to use the lv version of chevy's kernel. For my tablet running VegAn-TAB 5.11 Beta, it liked Clemsyn's kernel better than pershoots. Less FC's and less accidental power option menus when turning on the tablet.

Plus, it all depends on how you use it everyday. Every kernel has a pro and con to some degree. Backup your ROM, flash a new kernel and try it. If it doesn't work or you don't like it, flash back.

The new googly maps is working for me, go get it.
[G Tablet Android Development] setsudaj:
How do you go about changing the build.prop? I've tried changing it, but I can't get it to save the changes. Is there a particular program or file manager, or are you actually changing something in the ROM?
[G Tablet Android Development] debh945:
Root Explorer. Worth every penny IMO.
[G Tablet Android Development] diazkyubi:
doesnt matter what file explorer u use, uu have to go into the settings of the explorer and change it from non writeable to writable. thats what my issue was too. after that u can change whatever u need to in the build prop, just make sure u bookmark what u change in case u typo.

[G Tablet Android Development] drummr8:
download Rockplayer Lite

It played the movies that I've tried with it.
[G Tablet Android Development] diazkyubi:
already tried that....rockplayer pro
[G Tablet Android Development] drummr8:
No, try Rockplayer Lite. I tried both Lite and Pro and for some reason Pro would not play my videos. I downloaded Rockplayer Lite from the market and it plays them fine.

Market acting gay

anyone have a problem with their market all a sudden not working? mine was working til yesterday...the market launches but in the white area where apps should show up it says no matching content in Android Market...y would it just be blank like that out of nowhere? help please...geez this ginger rom is so flawed right now...or maybe i did something subconsciously to disable it, but highly unlikely...i love this rom but its got some bugs for me...any help is appreciated. link to a new market version or something...
[G Tablet Android Development] diazkyubi:
UPDATE: ok if i search for apps they come up, but if i click on apps or games it says no matchng content...wtf???
[G Tablet Android Development] diazkyubi:
UPDATE 2: ok it seems only paid apps wont load...but free apps will...again wtf???
[G Tablet Android Development] diazkyubi:
UPDATE FREAKIN 3: ok so i click to download a free app and i had an update for an existing app, well the free app just keeps saying download and theres no progress, i clicked updat comix...it doesnt show up in the status bar...again WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF >_<
[G Tablet Android Development] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Umm, There are over 100 posts in this thread alone dealing with market problems. I'd also guess that 25% of the threads on all the G-tab forums deal with market problems.

How about you try some of the 'standard' fixes (search for 'Market Fix') before you 'WTF' an experimental ROM for having market issues.
[G Tablet Android Development] diazkyubi:
Ok before u go assuming that I would post an issue without researching first, how bout u ask me if I've church coed the threads...then my answer would be yes...so to validate my wtf for an exp rom, I've tried multiple market fixes...to no avail ...and I'm not a noob so please reevaluate your approach to my post if u don't have an answer for my fix. Thx a bunch.

Kyubi
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Then stop acting like one.

If you read the thread -like you said you did- you would see that this is an experimental ROM and not even a Beta version. So, download at your own risk. Seriously guy, if you didn't want to be treated like a n00b, you know the deal. Post what you have tried and what hasn't worked. Don't start calling things "gay." Ask genuinely for help and don't fire off 4 posts in a row in less than 10 minutes crying "WTF" the entire time. If you want to write updates to your posts, edit them. No need to create new ones if you were the last post on a thread.
[G Tablet Android Development] diazkyubi:
wow i guess today is screw with Kyubi day...POST CLOSED
[G Tablet Android Development] djyellowperil:
I am kind of a noob still. only been tinkering around with android since november on just a handful of devices and i'm still learning.

That said I've learned enough to know that reading is fundamental which is why I read this at the begining of the first post:

*************EXPERIMENTAL INSTALLERS BE AWARE*******************

**************** ALSO As these are Experimental Builds if a new kernel comes out and you flash it and it doesn't work.... Do Not hound the kernel builder.... they do not and can't support these builds as of yet ***

**** FINAL EXPERIMENTAL Version Uploaded ****

**** I have been having to Format System, Data, and cache from the Mounts and storage menu of clockwork between flashes ****

There is no support yet for these, and feature requests are not being taken just yet as it is still in a state of flux. With that said I know alot of you are itching to try something new. Keep an eye on this page and the linked page below as I will be uploading as I build from here on out...

These are Experimental Builds.... what does that mean? Well it means it worked on my dev tablet and may be missing a feature or two and or include some code that is not quite finished.

These are BLEEDING EDGE!

*****Stop and reread from the beginning*****
[G Tablet Android Development] nitefallz:
Same here, very frustrating.
[G Tablet Android Development] Pazzu510:
Question: how do you uninstall clockmod 3?? i installed it and now i dont know how to get back to .8

I already tried to install .8 from from the zip inside 3 and it just says intallation aborted.
[G Tablet Android Development] thebadfrog:
Normally I dont recommend Rom Manager but you could install it and then flash the alternate recovery which should be bekit 0.8
[G Tablet Android Development] chpimentelpr:
Keep the good job!!! Downloading now! I have been waiting for this, thanks man!
[G Tablet Android Development] tekrhino:
Please keep in mind that flashing the experimental CWM 3.0.5 bricked my gtab immediately upon reboot.
[G Tablet Android Development] shredness:
i was able to install this rom using cwm 8 without issue. it's not quite a replacement yet for vegan 5.1.1, but it's getting there.
[G Tablet Android Development] thebadfrog:
I wouldn't recommend you install anything but bekit 0.8 unless you know how to nvflash your tab.
[G Tablet Android Development] Pazzu510:
any idea if the future honeycomb will use .8 or 3???
[G Tablet Android Development] thebadfrog:
It shouldn't matter. The 0.8 version should be fine. I have a version of 3.0.0.5 that works fine with cm7 but not at all with any other rom but 0.8 works with cm7 just fine.
[G Tablet Android Development] asteinac:
I'm quite confused. I flashed this with CWM .8, with a 2g sd card in the slot. The Rom refuses to acknowledge the internal sdcard, but sees the external 2g. However CWM sees the internal memory but refuses to see the external 2g card. When I take out the external card, the rom sees nothing at all (in filemanager). Everything else is working outstanding, I just think this is weird. Does anyone have any suggestions to be able to use the internal flash? Thanks.

Edit : I found the internal storage in /mnt/emmc

See this post for information about that specific thing in android 2.3. XD

BTW: It is only for you to notice that gingerbread does that and there might be a fox, but i dont really know if that file also fixes the thing for vegan experimentals.

I would suppose yes because they both are based on what cyanogenmod had as gingerbread.
[G Tablet Android Development] asteinac:
Thank you for the reply and the resulting read. :) I'm going to get a bigger SD.
[G Tablet Android Development] chpimentelpr:
Did someone is facing authentication problem with Google? I'm unable to connect to my account throw the tablet...
[G Tablet Android Development] thebadfrog:
You need to side load Market Enabler.
[G Tablet Android Development] Pazzu510:
I wouldnt recommend to do that.

I think it installs the gapps zip in SD and that makes the previews gapps on the emmc to be erased. I had that problem that made me had problems getting the rom manager from the previews problem.
[G Tablet Android Development] chpimentelpr:
Sorry for the ignorance, how I do that?
[G Tablet Android Development] thebadfrog:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=954666

And I recommend no one use Rom Manager for installing roms on the GTab
[G Tablet Android Development] chpimentelpr:
thanks, that do the trick.
[G Tablet Android Development] mcampbe:
Been running since the 12th. This is stable enough for me. Once nvidia gives us GB hardware accel this rom will burn up my gtab.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
I am aware of the thread which discuss what people prefer, and overwhelming majority wants internal sdcard to be mapped as /sdcard which is Option #1.

But this ROM has internal sdcard mapped to /emmc, and I don't have any external card to plug in sdcard slot, and can't save any apps.

Is there a way to change the mappings in settings for the preferred location for your download?
[G Tablet Android Development] Pazzu510:
That post not just discuses the characteristic, it is also supposed to have a package that can be installed and that changes the way of working of SD SDext and emmc

Known issue... once you go into flight mode you can't get out of it.

Moral of the story? Don't go into flights mode.... ever :)
[G Tablet Android Development] lordgodgeneral:
I actually found a way out of flight mode. Had this happen to me a couple of weeks ago. Tried wiping and reflashing the rom, that didn't work, tried flashing a new kernal, that didn't work.

What I saw was happening is when you hit the button in wireless, it starts, but never gets airplane mode actually on (exit wireless settings and go back in and airplane mode is unchecked). So it seemed like some flag was getting set and couldn't reset it.

I have beautiful widgets installed on my tablet, so I put the airplane mode widget on my desktop, and when i turned it on, the airplane mode icon dissappeared. rebooting the tablet, the widget showed airplane mode off, and the icon on the status bar was still gone. Wifi connected like it should.

Hope this works for those of you having issues with it.

Edit: Just redid this to make sure it works, and it does. Had to tap the beautiful widgets airplane widgets twice this time, once to get it showing airplane mode on, then again to turn off, which removed the airplane icon in the status bar.
[G Tablet Android Development] gksmith:
Is this ROM dead? I really like it but I think it still needs a set of bug fixes and we're now almost 30 days without any updates.
[G Tablet Android Development] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
GoJimi was on vacation earlier, so that slowed down some development.

Lately he's been doing a lot of work on VTL Launcher (which is very cool BTW).

He had mentioned being pretty close to a release a week or two ago, but haven't heard anything since.

There has been a lot of movement in the CM7 camp, so maybe he's working on some of that?
[G Tablet Android Development] nitefallz:
Great fix man, worked for me.
[G Tablet Android Development] Gyaq:
I was running this as my daily until I screwed up the install trying out a new kernel. I'm trying tnt lite 4.4 right now but I am really missing this rom. IMO, even in its current state (pre beta) its one of the best out there.

Slowly dieing inside

I am slowly dieing inside as I wait for the beta release of this. Is it sad when I check this site 2-3 times a day to see if this has been updated every day for a month?
[G Tablet Android Development] adampdx:
Yes it is sad. But I'm right there with you. It'll come and it'll be great!
[G Tablet Android Development] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Yes, It's been painful to wait. I've really liked the combination of Gingerbread along with the Vegan tweaks for status bar etc.

I've just recently started playing around this this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002000

It's got some pretty nifty tablet tweaks, and it's on more recent CM7 code. You might want to try it out.
[G Tablet Android Development] nitefallz:
Installed this and it seems more responsive, I've had so far better results. Would be nice to have a lock screen on here.

Ran into some more problems though. The internal memory is mounted as /emmc, and the external sdcard as /sdcard.

Problem is that neither of my music players can see /emmc, nor can Wikipock. I cannot have both my music files and Wikipedia library on my sdcard due to size limitations. Kind of disappointing.
[G Tablet Android Development] nitefallz:
Rebooting fixed the problem, somehow.

awesome.
[G Tablet Android Development] phispher:
I'm having an odd issue. I wiped cache/data, installed the ROM, and installed GAPPS provided in the OP. When I rebooted, everything was going smoothly, sync'd tab to my google account and noticed that I didn't have gmail installed. I had gapps installed, so not sure why that was the case, so I started over, wiped cache/data, installed ROM, and gapps JUST to make sure i did everything right. Still, no gmail icon. No worries I thought, I'll find it on the market. So I logged in to the market and before I installed gmail, I went to my apps to make sure the market recognized my account correctly. Sure enough, there were my paid apps. So, I searched for gmail and installed it. What was odd is as just as I got the notification in the toolbar that gmail finished installing then I was kicked out of the market suddenly. I opened gmail and it was working fine, pulled down my emails. Then I opened the market to continue installing my paid apps. However, when I went to 'My Apps' in the market, I saw the following message:

'No downloads from Android Market'

I attempted to duplicate this, so I reflashedthe ROM and resynced my google account. Market was working fine again, pulling up my apps. I installed 'Root Explorer' first, closed the market, went back in, my apps were there. Installed gmail and just like the last time installed it, just as it finished installing, I get kicked out of the market and when I went back in, 'My apps' was blank again with the same message. Has anyone seen this occur before. Seems to be linked with installing gmail from the market.
[G Tablet Android Development] :
Missing "my apps" is a known problem. A fix is to change the LCD density parameter on /system/build.prop to 161, which breaks some apps.

This project looks like it is dead; no update in a month. Any new projects out there moving along?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Reread the last two pages of this thread and visit this website:

http://vegantab.gojimi.com/

It is not fair for you to call this project dead. A lot of man-hours have gone into making this work for all of us.
[G Tablet Android Development] flipper9:
It's just an opinion. There are plenty of other builds with more frequent releases, and the tablet version of Android looming nearer. If a project can't deliver, others will take it's place. Things move on, just a fact. I'd like to see more, but nothing new has come out in a month. In the time frame of rapid development, that's an eternity. Let's make room in the forum for new stuff.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I think you missed my point. If you went back and read a couple of pages you would see that the developer was on a vacation with his wife. In the meantime he has delivered a new launcher that is much more tablet friendly. Remember, this is not like cyanogenmod where there is a team of people releasing nightlies.

I agree that there are plenty other builds with more frequent releases. However, none come close to how stable vegan tab 5.11 Beta is. Personally, I would rather wait an entire month until a stable version is released than an "oops" version that makes me have to nvflash my unit.

You are most definitely entitled to your opinion, but I think it is harsh to step in and call his project dead.
[G Tablet Android Development] pqrs:
yeah... i couldnt wait so i started trying other roms. i liked ginger edition, but the other cm builds are better at this point. im sure when we get the new vegan itll be sweet! im a big fan, ill be back when theres something new to play with..:D
