[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
His ROM is setup in a similar fashion as TNT Lite 4.4.0 - old bootloader, 1.1-based kernel, but a 3991 system image. So it's really 1.1-based, not 1.2-based. The critical part here is the bootloader/kernel.

For me, getting information out is more important than anything else going on right now - I'm not sure if you are reluctant to ask me anything right now, but I will tell everything I know about 1.2 and how I think we can mitigate issues. That takes precedence over everything else.
[G Tablet Android Development] Synman:

[G Tablet Android Development] dictionary:
Lol @ this effort to exact information and use it as evidence that roebeet is going the wrong route. Sad. I'll leave the drama to the hardcore fanbois though.

Just curious if there is going to be an update to this rom anytime soon. Definitely was the fastest I'd used (I got here after the twotapsx was pulled, sadly) so until it's back up at the site that shall not be named, I'm using this as the primary.
[G Tablet Android Development] S2W:
I have to agree... this rom is by far the fastest and stable for me IMHO besides the vegan-tab roms.

I am curious to know if there is an update in the works for this particular rom. Im definitely interested in knowing this question, Calkulin did a great job and hope to hear some news.
[G Tablet Android Development] collindv:
Agreed, I really would like to see a Calkulin update with the newest VS updates rolled in. My dream ROM would be running Calkulin 4389 based rom with Pershoot's Kernel overclocking to 1.6 Ghz.

Really the only thing I don't like about the ROM right now is lack of mouse support.
[G Tablet Android Development] collindv:
Maybe if we all kick him $5 each :-)
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
x3. I already mentioned that I don't plan to develop TNT Lite anymore (here or anywhere else - it's retired), so this would be a good option for those "mostly stock" users who want to stick with a 1.1-based. If that's what he chooses to do, of course.

video help

Just got a gtab, loving it. question video is not working for me. Tried like 5 diff players, on some I get sound but no video, some well play avi but not flv? Thanks for the help, this is deff the fastest rom of the 4 I have tried and stable.. Very impressed and Thank you for it. Some one mentioned to put the lines video/avi video/flv somewhere but I can't seem to fine where to put the text.
[G Tablet Android Development] kkiran:
Best ROM! Just go with this if you care about Hardware Video acceleration.
[G Tablet Android Development] Synman:
My favorite too, just as soon as you hack framework-res to get rid of the flower indeterminate that comes with tnt. Vanilla GB is a distant second and all the others still need too much work to be a daily driver.
[G Tablet Android Development] punchemcface:
Agreed.

I doubt we'll be getting an update to this though, I hope I'm wrong, but either way I don't mind.

Ridiculously fast and perfectly stable. As of right now, with all the options on xda, this rom makes the gtab what it was supposed to be/what people wanted when it launched.
[G Tablet Android Development] brown14you:
Hey Calkulin can you please reply

Calkulin's ROM are usually the best. I have followed his Mods from Windows Mobile days through HTC EVO 4G and now GTab. In fact, I convinced myself to buy the GTab (despite all the poor review, :cool:) after he released a ROM for it and I absolutely have enjoyed it! Very stable and very close to Stock as you can get.

Enough of my gloat. I am pretty sure he will be releasing an updated version of the ROM with the latest firmware. I will be waiting.:)

On a side note, Forum Mods, why is this thread not stickied like all the other ROMs?:confused:
[G Tablet Android Development] crutzulee:
I agree that this is far and away the best rom for the gtab. I think that the only reason this thrad isn't stickied is that it APPEARS as though the dev has abandoned it.

I would prefer to think that he is baking some gingerbread goodies for the gtab.

One can dream.

Anyone know if enterprise work with this?
[G Tablet Android Development] Synman:
Yup but you need to manually construct the wpa_supplicant.conf entry or use one of the market wifi assist utilities. It was easier for me to just copy an entry that I pulled from my phone.
[G Tablet Android Development] goodintentions:
The problem I had with tnt lite and my company's network is it didn't show up at all. No matter what I did, it just didn't show up as an available network. What wifi assist utility would you recommend?
[G Tablet Android Development] Synman:
Wifi advanced config

Your workplace network likely doesn't broadcast its ssid. You wont see it on ANY device that hasn't been configured to discover it explicitly.

For me it was much easier to just steal the conf entry from an android device I'd previously connected with. Wifi advanced config can be daunting if you don't know the ins and outs of the 802.x network you're trying to connect to.
[G Tablet Android Development] festivus:
Trying to isolate the cause of a weird problem. For some reason, I'm unable to access www.ebates.com on me GTab. Can others using this ROM access it?
[G Tablet Android Development] rover442:
I've been unable to access it on any ROM I've used.

Well, I guess I'm glad that it's not just me. Anyone have any ideas on why this is happening?

[G Tablet Android Development] kampf:
My G Tab has been sitting, collecting dust, since I got my iPad2 a month or so ago, but this ROM has piqued my interest. I want this device to do video playback almost exclusively, something the last ROM I used, one of the BitTrix 2.3 versions, didn't do well at all.

I'm also sad to see Roebeet retiring TnT Lite, but glad to see his recommendation of this ROM.

Must say, upon the first five minutes of use this is incredibly fast compared to what I'm used to and it's playing DVD backups, H.264, very smooth.

I'm going to watch some F1, Chinese Grand Prix a bit later. Shouldn't be a problem.
[G Tablet Android Development] goodintentions:
I tried using wifi advanced config. I couldn't find an option to add a new ssid. Can you please do a quick run through for me? I know all the settings (leap, ttls, etc.) but the trick I couldn't figure out was to add a new network to wifi advanced config.
[G Tablet Android Development] Synman:
A good friend of mine was "shipped" over their to follow the circuit and do all of their ecm tuning. They take the sport pretty seriously over there.
[G Tablet Android Development] Synman:
Add the wifi network manually through regular config without any special settings. Then you can edit it through advanced to meet your specific needs.

Is there any benefit to using the wipe all .zip over formatting system, data and cache in mounts and storage, and wiping dalvik cache?
[G Tablet Android Development] dictionary:
That's very odd. I just checked again, and it's absolutely working for me. Do you have your browsers set to Desktop User Agent? Not sure if that is the cause, but again the site is definitely working for me.

Currently on Vegan rc1 using Dolphin HD, Stock Browser, and Maxthon
[G Tablet Android Development] festivus:
Yes, I set mine to Desktop agent yet it makes no difference. It's obviously some sort of quirk with this ROM and a few others. It appears as though Vegan and it's variants are unaffected. Don't think I'll switch just because of this in light of the fact that Calkulin just seems faster and more stable than the others I've tried. Just wondering if he or another Developer will take notice and come up with some sort of fix.
[G Tablet Android Development] dictionary:
Could be the built in ad blocking. I know ebates is reported as spam by some, so maybe that's it?
[G Tablet Android Development] festivus:
That sounds logical. Any idea how to turn it off? I wonder if that is why NetQFree and Flixster don't work anymore either.
[G Tablet Android Development] ItsDon:
I am running this rom on my GTab and my daughter just got hers. I rooted it and flashed TNT Lite 4.40 and did the Market fix. Hers gets nearly all apps and mine is severely hobbled. For instance she'll be able to get Launcher Pro and I can't.

I've done the exact same Market fix on mine (stop Google Services 2.2.1, stop Market, freeze Google Services 2.2.1 in Titanium, try Market, get error, reboot) but I still am missing a lot of apps. Is there another Market fix out there I can try? I love this rom otherwise.
[G Tablet Android Development] dschach:
Calkulin's format all script is just a convenience script to wipe the tablet. The advantage is you wipe your machine the same way as the rom developer. This guarantees your machine is wiped as expected prior to installing the rom.

Here are the commands in format all.

show_progress 0.1 0

format BOOT:

format CACHE:

format DATA:

format SYSTEM:

show_progress 0.1 10

Anyone not getting the power amp full screen widget in this rom to show up under the Widgets submenu?
[G Tablet Android Development] PhilosophyDan:
This is blocked by the hosts file. Change the name of /system/etc/hosts with root explorer to something else and reboot. Try it again. I'm using adfree to manage the hosts file.

I also posted about this in the general forum.
[G Tablet Android Development] dschach:
I use the dolphin hd browser and previously installed it from the market. There is an update but it is no longer visible to my gtablet in the market. Oddly, I can still see all of the dolphin browser add-ons. Reapplying the market fix didn't help.
[G Tablet Android Development] ZenInsight:
I PM'd Dev but he may be too busy for a pion like myself.

Two questions that our kind community may have insight into.

1. My EA games come up but won't download any data. Is this a lmhosts block built into this ROM or does anyone else have any issue playing NFS Shift or any other EA game (none of them seem to work).

2. I can't stand the keyboard. I have tried Swype, Slideit, Swiftkey, even just better keyboard (although I want a swype based keyboard)

Mouse and keyboard support via USB would be great too someday, but I think from what I can gather the ROM would have to be 1.2 version based for this too work.

I can live with everything else, but dam I can't stand this keyboard. When I try to tick the choose new keyboard box I get a warning about data sharing and then...nothing. What am I doing wrong guys?
[G Tablet Android Development] irishrally:
You could try this keyboard: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1034547

I tried applying the market fix one more time. Now the missing apps show up.
[G Tablet Android Development] revned911:
Try Thumb Keyboard in the market - it's an oustanding keyboard. Has options to resize and optimize for a tablet sized screen. It's not free, but it's worth a couple bucks, definitely.
[G Tablet Android Development] devlop:
Has anybody had issues with constant syncing? It's only happened with this rom. Every couple of days, the syncing icon pops up in the status bar. I've tried fcing different apps, but the tab continues to sync. It wouldn't bother me except that it's a battery drain and keeps the tab awake when I try to put it sleep. Any advice is appreciated.
[G Tablet Android Development] NinjaMom:
Have to say this is my favorite keyboard alternative at the moment since I have not figured out how to get my swype beta on the tablet.
[G Tablet Android Development] NinjaMom:
Unfortunately the market fix didn't do it for me and dolphin still wasn't showing up. I had to side load it.

Also, is there away to move apps to the external SD with this ROM? The option to do so does not present itself in the same manner as it does on my Evo.

I knew I was going with this ROM when I got my tablet yesterday just because it was Cully's.... but I really want to use my external SD card for app storage and I know I have a ton of apps that are moveable.

Any help greatly appreciated.
[G Tablet Android Development] sumdumdude:
You need to install the keyboard like any other app and then use RootExplorer (paid app) to move the apk from Data/App to System/App. Reboot and when you go into the settings you won't have a checkbox for the keyboard but you can select it on a text entry location.

And I use the SlideIt keyboard. I have used Swype before and I think it is just as easy and nice to use. And I was glad to pay the few dollars to not have to deal with changing system files.
[G Tablet Android Development] ZenInsight:
AWESOME. Someone else tried to explain this to me...but I think I get it now. I have Root Explorer (paid..great app).

"you can select it on a text entry location"

How do I SELECT it though? Doesn't the normal keyboard just pop up automatically? Do I remove some apk for the old keyboard out of the System/App folder? I must still be missing something.

Edit: And thanks for caring enough to respond..driving me crazy..for real.
[G Tablet Android Development] NinjaMom:
Also try the flex T9 keyboard... $5 in market... much better than any keyboard including swype in my opinion. It does swype, dictation, and handwriting recognition and it does them all really well.
[G Tablet Android Development] ZenInsight:
Ok. I got it. It worked!!!!

You don't see the checkbox do anything. In fact I don't think the checkbox matters. You simply find a place that you would use the keyboard (after you have copied the .apk to the system/app folder) and long press, like renaming a folder for instance. When the menu pops up after the long press, "input selection method" is an option. Go in there and choose the new keyboard. My favorite so far is SlideIT 3.2. I like that you can slide the keyboard to the right and draw numbers in the box if you want to. It's full sized and made to work with tablets, while Swype is kinda weird.

Amyway.....SlideIT is SO much better than the original keyboard. My sanity has returned. Thank you!!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] jccrumpler:
for some odd reason; i turned on my G-Tab and everything was force closing. nothing worked; so i went back to factory and re-flashed it back to this ROM. i hope it fixed the issue

Calkulin are you there?

I am currently running your 1.1 rom with:

>bekit's 1.2-4349 bootloader

>clemsyn's kernel for 1.2 froyo bootloader 1.5 oc

>clockworkmod recovery v3.0.2.8 (gtablet 1.2 branch rev2)

i have yet to find a faster and more stable os for the gtablet.

however i do like to test and sample new releases when they come out, but i always find my way back to this rom.

problem is every time i want to go back i have to go through this annoying process.

>nvflash bekits 1.2-4349 bootloader

>nvflash clockworkmod recovery v3.0.2.8 (gtablet 1.2 branch rev2)

>update zip calkukin's g-tab v 1.1

>update zip clemsyn's kernel for 1.2 froyo bootloader 1.5 oc

>advanced nandroid restore data.

>update zip clemsyn's kernel for 1.2 froyo bootloader 1.5 oc again.

all the while clearing cache and davlik between each flash.

is there any chance you could bake an update zip with

your rom,1.2 bootloader ,1.2 cwm, and clems kernel?

thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
Clemsyn already did this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1024120

I would still agree this is the fastest most feature complete ROM out there. Just sad that it has to be Froyo because of the lack of new drivers from Nvidia/ViewSonic/whoever is in charge.
[G Tablet Android Development] xkwwwx:
Thanks ram. I just can't rip away from this rom. Its perfect.
[G Tablet Android Development] festivus:
This has been my daily driver for a long time as well. Assuming Flash was working on the new Honeycomb ROMs, what exactly would the benefit be to making the switch? What are the "must have" features of Honeycomb which would make it worth the hassle to switch? About the only thing I would like to see is a working Netflix app, but other than that, I'm hard-pressed to name a single thing that would make me want or need to change.
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
Honeycomb has a great UI. Basically, it is a new UI on top of Gingerbread. The main feature I miss (having recently gone back to this Froyo based ROM) is the handy little carrot type cursor to select text and move the cursor when typing. Also, the process of moving apps to SD card is a little easier on GB and HC.
[G Tablet Android Development] festivus:
As for the cursor thing, are you using Thumb Keyboard? The dedicated cursor arrows on that keyboard are pretty handy.

I'm not sure there is enough there for me to make the change. Seems to me I could probably go indefinitely with this ROM and Pershoot's kernel. It's still not perfect, but I typically don't even think twice about the slight problems I have from time to time.
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
I do use thumb keyboard, I love it. Also, I don't think this Rom does wifi based location.

Memory issue using Calkulin

I've using Calkulin's since I got issue.

I have a 32GB micro SD card - when I go settings/storage/table storage it say Total Tablet Storage: 14.94GB and Available Space 0.91GB and if I go to the SD card I get Total space: 31.24GB and available space: 27.94GB.

My problem is that even having +/- 28GB available when I try to install anything I get a SD card or device storage full message.

So, believing was just an internal memory issue using Titanium backup I ran the move user apps to the SD card batch but I still get the full memory issue

Any Ideas???

Stuck in Boot

I installed Calkulin + Clemsyn Combo yesterday and everything worked fine, today everything was fine for the first couple of hours but now when starting the GTab i get past the screen with the three birds but I get stuck on the next screen that resembles exploding blue/purple/white crystals.
[G Tablet Android Development] sumdumdude:
Anyone have an issue getting keyboards to work? I can install them but I'm not able to select it in the settings screen. When I try and select it I get the warning and hit "OK" the box goes away but the item doesn't get checked. I also can't select the keyboard in a text box.

Any suggestions?
[G Tablet Android Development] jpmi23:
You need RootExplorer. You have to move the apk for the keyboard to the system/app folder, then change the permissions to rw-r-r. I'm using Swype on this ROM by doing that.
[G Tablet Android Development] pagantek:
I was able to get about 5 minutes with this ROM, and it looked sweet, however, when it went to sleep it never awoke. would not power on, (seemingly), tried all the hardware tricks shy of cracking the case and disconnecting the battery. I connected up USB to my system and noticed that there was an item for the android debug in hardware manager, so i thought I'd attempt bekits nvflash tread, and sure enough it was powered on to black screen in APX mode. So I got it to boot to stock, had to start again. I loaded the rom again, using the tradition methods that i used with TnT-lite and this time it's stuck on the G-tablet screen, I waited 20 minutes, and it went nowhere. powered off, and the same - apx mode only. re-nvflash, and back to stock. I was able to load TnT-lite up to 4.2.5, but have yet to succeed in getting any further than the G-Tablet screen but would really like to test this one, does anyone have any ideas?

both data and system were mounted.

repartitioned 2048,0

I didn't do his full wipe, but i did a CWM wipe data/cache.

no errors during the install, although it did seem that the new file was a lot faster installing than the first.

[G Tablet Android Development] pagantek:
i had tried all but the battery stats. I would go into mounts after the factory reset, and /data was unmounted, so i mounted again. Other than that, the first load was by the numbers, after that.... nothing. i did try again after i had TnT 4.2.5 installed, and same thing, hung on the g-tablet screen. is there a way i can logcat that out and see whats sticking? im not super familiar with adb logcatting but if i can see... i might be able to figure it out.
[G Tablet Android Development] ItsDon:
I came from 4.2.5 to try this rom and so far am impressed - super fast. Quadrant shows the refresh rate at 77 :D

Only issue I'm currently having (after minimal testing) is Movies (Flixter) FC's on me. I initially restored it via TT Backup and after the FC incident I uninstalled it. I then went to CWM and cleared all caches and fixed permissions. I then went back into Market, redownloaded and installed, same issue - FC city. I'm running AdFree so I thought that might be an issue (never was before) and reverted it to stock, no changes. Is this an issue for anyone else?

Flash 10.1 from the market works fine. If I am not mistaken the problem with Hulu is that Android flash player identifies it as Android and Hulu doesn't allow you to play based on that. The work around is to install the modded APK that is floating around that runs on Android but identifies as something else.
