[G Tablet Android Development] pqrs:
so whats the scoop with the market, seems to have gotten worse with this update? ive flashed the gingerbread gapps and its still crappy... i get an error every time i click an app and have to click "retry", nothing shows up as installed and maps force closes if i try to open it?

most of that stuff was better before the update.:confused: maps worked at least..

what gapps file should we be running?
[G Tablet Android Development] pqrs:
ok, so i see the new maps doesnt work, anyone have a link to the maps that does work?:o
[G Tablet Android Development] tom108:
anyone else stuck at gtab dev splash screen after flashing the gapps? rom ran fine but everytime i flash the gapps i get stuck. even after full wipes. :(

Anyone else having problems with the stock music player? It says the file type cant be played and all the files are mp3!!!! Anyone?
[G Tablet Android Development] webby_s:
Yes, and during one of the reboots, in CW, I deleted my internal memory. My fault completely but I thought I had to do something with the gapps thing with reformatting my external SD card and I accidently did the internal.

That being said... I was messing around with mounts and unmounts and got things going, now I am back to the g-tabdev screen again. I will try messing with the mounts and see if that does it.
[G Tablet Android Development] chief1978:
Why do people play with the mounts when flashing? The update script will mount/unmount as needed. You can even see that in the file if you open in text editor.

Different Portrait Layout

One thing I've noticed after a day with this new build is that some apps (maybe all not sure) are displaying in a window when in portrait mode. Previously they were stretched to the whole screen.

I don't really like this behavior personally as it just results in a lot of empty space on the tablet.

I've seen it so far in:

Weather Network App

SirusXM App

Latest Install Apps

.. and most likely many more..
[G Tablet Android Development] lordgodgeneral:
May want to go into spare parts and turn compatability off. This seemed to fix "MOST" of the issues with apps not displaying correctly.

If its still not displaying correctly, its probably a the app itself.

I know the old version of robo defense would only fill 2/3 of the screen, and there was no way to adjust, had to wait for the developer to put out an update for higher res displays.
[G Tablet Android Development] mikesal57:
Chief...When I first did my gtab , I looked at the sticky guide to install cwm and flash...I believe most people go to that for round one...maybe they should change it..just my opinion

I am having one problem with this rom that I should probably report, even though it's to be expected with an experimental rom. Every so often, when the screen is off, when I tap the power button to wake it up, nothing happens. I do it a few times, nothing. Eventually, it comes on but at the Viewsonic screen and reboots. Anybody else having issues waking from sleep?

Thanks!

Just to throw in, I'm having the same problem with getting stuck at the "GtabletDev" splash screen after flashing. I've done the whole process several times, including restoring my backup of 5.1.1 and everything came up fine.

I am doing full wipes of system/data/cache/davlik. I've even tried wiping them twice each (like I know you have to do on the Epic), just in case. I've also tried flashing with and without the gapps. Same problem every time. Anybody come up with anything helpful on this issue?

Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
really? I am going to try wiping dalvik and cache to see if it is causing any issues.

Still no go.. :(
[G Tablet Android Development] lordgodgeneral:
For those having issue's, what version of CM are you guys using? I don't know if that could be the problem or not. I didn't have any problem flashing it using the beckit 0.8 version.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I could get Gingerbread just fine, but Gapps kept breaking my tablet. Bootloops, frozen Gtab dev screen, you name it. Me thinks me will hold out until Ginger Edition has built in Gapps like 5.1 Beta.
[G Tablet Android Development] MicroChip:
I set it to auto and it dimmed a bit, so I'm assuming not only is brightness working, but auto brightness is working.

MC
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
I can't lower the brightness at all with or without Auto brightness.. I tried to change few things in Vegan Gingerbread in settings without any success.
[G Tablet Android Development] dlike:
Just an update, I reported a couple days ago I was having trouble with YouTube playing in the browser but all this required to fix was installing the version from the market, the version I had saved must have been an old one. I also reported a problem with accessing "delete mail from server" setting, the fix for this is to setup your mail accounts manually and select POP instead of the default IMAP :-)
[G Tablet Android Development] debh945:

format everything except boot

install this Rom from CM

Everything is great and smooth now, love it.
[G Tablet Android Development] rogersranch:
This has been mentioned in this thread before, but if you are getting stuck at the Gtabdevs screen after flashing this ROM, you will most likely need to repartition the sd-card. This will, of course, erase everything on the sd-card. If you have things backed up with Titanium Backup, you could use ADB to pull the titaniumbackup directory off of the sd-card before it gets wiped. If you are not using it, I highly recommend it.

From CWM .08 Select advanced, and then select Repartition SD Card. Select 2048 on the first screen and 0 for swap.

Once the format is complete, boot back into CWM .08 and go to mounts and partitions and mount the sd-card. From here you can use ADB and push the ROM and the GApps zip files back onto the g-tab sd-card and reflash.

This has been the only way I have been able to get past the stuck at Gtabdevs screen.
[G Tablet Android Development] jguy:
Where do you clear market data in TB? Sorry was supposed to be a attached to someone's post.
[G Tablet Android Development] adampdx:
I think this refers to clearing data in Titanium Backup (TB). Open Titanium, go to the 'Backup/Restore' tab, find your app and click on it, choose 'Wipe Data'. I had to do it twice because the first time TB asked for superuser permissions and the original wipe request was seemingly ignored.

But I think it's moot because this fix didn't work. It's probably the same 'data' that is cleared when clearing data in the Applications -> Manage Applications and that fix didn't work either. It's funny, I had all of my paid apps show up on the first boot after flashing, but then they went away. When I search for apps that I have installed they show up and are marked 'Installed', so at least there is that.

Market Bug with Feature Apps

I have been experiencing an issue with the Google Market. The feature apps stopped working. The icon for each app displays the shaded out android. When I try to select an app nothing happens. All other areas of the market works with no issues. I reloaded the gapps fix 03/07 vers. the feature apps works but that is only temporary. Anyone else seeing this issue and if so do you know of a fix? I do understand this ROM is experimental .

[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I flashed Ginger Edition and gapps without a boot loop. However, there are no gapps?

Do I need to partition my sdcard or is it optional?

edit: I partitioned my card. However, even though I flashed Gapps, no Gapps are installed.

I used this version of Gapps:

http://goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/universal/

Is this right?

Plus, I don't have access to settings from the home screen. I tap on the icon and nothing. Plus, settings is not available from the app drawer...weird.

edit2: I just installed Vegan 7 and it was fine and I could access the settings. As soon as I flashed Gapps it lost the settings and no Gapps were installed. I am convinced I have the wrong gapps package (the one from the first post). Can someone provide me with a link?
[G Tablet Android Development] AltairDusk:
Just flashed this tonight and loving it! Huge thanks to the VEGAn team once again.

Only quirk I've run into so far is stuttering Youtube in HQ (Installed newest from market). Anyone know of a workaround yet?

Not quite the same thing but I use the full version of Thumb Keyboard: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=830772

For me at least it's by far the best keyboard I've found for larger screens, much more comfortable to type on when holding either side of the tab in landscape. I liked the TnT keyboard till I found this one so I'd recommend giving it a shot.
[G Tablet Android Development] rogersranch:
Yes, that is the correct gapps

My Google apps didn't show up until I signed in. Couldn't figure it out for the longest time until I was looking in TB and it said market was already installed. Ran it from there, signed in, and now it works great.

[G Tablet Android Development] fuzzy075:
Great Rom... I have been using it for a few days and it is really stable.
[G Tablet Android Development] jpjj225:
Yeah, what worked for me was side load or download titanium backup from their website. Open it and go to the backup and restore tab up top. Scroll down to the market, pick it and select run. That should allow you to sign in. Good luck.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I really appreciate your help. However, everytime I flash Gapps it removes the settings app from my tablet. That means no wireless and no installation of unknown sources. Seriously, I give up.

All works well when just installing Vegan-Tab (wireless, settings, sideloading), but after Gapps, bam!
[G Tablet Android Development] hallandnash:
Did you try backing up the settings app.... then flash gapps .... then restore settings app?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:

[G Tablet Android Development] dharr18:
I had to do a nvflash back to stock, then do the rom install. I am pretty sure some of my hacks left me in a bad state and had to do a complete wipe before getting ginger to run. Some how I had my tab in a state I couldn't format cache.

MyApps fixed temporarily...

I lost the MyApps list after a few hours of use. I got it back by performing the market fix found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=845175. I had to wipe data for the framework and the market.

Since I just did it I don't know if it will last but my apps are back for now.

Update: The fix did not hold. MyApps disappeared within an hour. I was able to bring them back again by wiping the market data but then they disappeared yet again.

[G Tablet Android Development] hallandnash:
I've had this too .. it's in a frozen state ..

If holding the button down for 20-30 secs won't turn it off .. then you need to do a nvflash access via USB/adb (windows: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902860 linux: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=919425)

nvflash info: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950

Once you have adb setup then hold the volume up key and power button for I think 10 secs and it will enter into adb access mode.

I never tried this as I didn't know it at the time, but you could try running a adb reboot command and see if it restarts.

But when I was frozen this allowed me to re-flash the base OS and then I just reflashed the Vegan. Do a search and you'll be sure to find more complete instructions.
[G Tablet Android Development] Luis4911:
Thank you for your help. I am really kind of lost. (newbie)

Holding the power button does not work.

How do I set ADB? the instructions in the links are not clear. They say make sure USB debugging is on. How can I do that if I have no access? I installed USBDEVIEW but cannot find the Gtablet.

And your "my apps" don't disappear?

I also start to get a pop up in the market every time I try to download an app. It says "ATTENTION A server error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to previous screen." But it still seems to download the app I was trying to download.

These two things are driving me crazy, especially the missing My apps.
[G Tablet Android Development] hallandnash:

I think I am making some headway on the My Apps issue.

Here is what I have found.

After initial install of system, you can see My Apps until market closes. This is due to market being updated.

After I reopen market, My Apps are empty.

I was able to, a couple times without any consistency, stop market and uninstall update. When I get the uninstall update I can now see my apps if I enter My Apps quickly after opening market.

The old hack to disable market updates is not working, or my notes are bad. But I have been able to randomly get My Apps to come up. I am missing a permission somewhere. Does anyone have any ideas?

IF I can get some consistency with this I will post better instructions.

any idea why benchmark is so low?

Benchmark of this rom for me goes from 2008 to 2117(if very very very lucky)

Any way to make it 2400 or so, i feel it very slow and choopy.

Do CWM version affects? Do you recomend CWM 3 instead of .8 for better benchmark?

Any other tweak i should or could know of?

Tnx for the rom, it is awesom!!

This is the only ROM so far that has allowed me to set the brightness setting all the way down to zero. All the other ROMS, the lowest possible brightness setting appears to be around 5-7. For night time use; like reading ebooks in bed, getting the brightness down to 2 or 3 is excellent and also extends battery life between recharges.
