[Q] the best firmware?? - G Tablet General

I wanted to know what are the advantages and disadvantages between each "nonstock" firmware such as TNT Lite, VEGAn, I know there are more, but which one is the best, looks the best, more importantly run fastest? Thanks!

if there was one best there would only be one. What you mean is which is best for you. the best person to answer that is you. you can do a little reading or try out the mods yourself and write up you experience so that other can benefit.

TnTLite V2.4 has the least issues for daily use.

I worry that I will lose purchased data if I switch between ROMs

Purchases are tied to your gmail account, not your ROM or even device.

I have tried the stock,,tnt lite 2.2 and vegan b3. I actually did not found the stock too bad even without the latest update but nothing I could do with it except news and browsing. Tnt lite 2.2 was not bad and it was faster than the stock but there were a couple of things I didn't like such as the tnt settings and it hide some of the wifi options such enterprise which I was using while at work (I used a patch APk to workaround the issue). Vegan b3 is the one I am using, so far so good with a couple of annoying issues such as wake-up, wifi drop and reconnect. I like and dislike the notification bar but it is fair stable. Not yet updating to b4 as I heard many issues. One issue I am seeing is that vegan rom is consisted of tnt kernel, Vega addons, etc. It does require more works and testing. Which tnt lite is a light weight of the stock plus some good stuffs. To be honest, I am thinking to go back to tnt soon as it always gets updates very quick. You should all thank the hardworking by roebeet. I would suggest watching some of edge's YouTube videos as he always does something cool with different roms. Good luck.

Should I go from TNT Lite to Vegan???

I have been using TntLite 2.4 (waiting for 3.1) and like the way it's been working. However, it seems like the majority on this forum is currently using Vegan Rom.
Do you guys know something I don't ?
What is the main difference and why did you choose Vegan over Tnt lite?
I was under the impression that Vegan was more in the beta stage and Tnt was more stable.

TnT Lite still has the overhead of the TnT framework(settings application, status bar). I think people get a little better responsiveness from Vegan. It is just a little bit closer to stock android. Additionally there have been some nice visual tweaks to Vegan with the gingerbread animations. That is why we advocate for using clockwork...you can try it and go back to what you had in a matter of minutes.
I've used both. VEGAn seems faster, but I believe that is primarily due to the screen effects on that ROM. Both roms score ~2400 on quadrant.
TnTLite is more stable (based on my experience). Don't get me wrong; VEGAn is a great rom, but it is in beta, and it's still plagued by a bunch of nit-noid issues (slow downs, processes stopping, etc.).
TnTLite is based off of TnT, so its foundation is a bit stronger. I haven't had a single issue with any version of TnTLite. Some folks have hiccups with installing the rom (this applies to any rom), but once loaded, TnTLite can be used as a daily driver by your mother. All joking aside, that's why I moved back off VEGAn to TnTLite....I'm giving the tablet as a gift and there's no way my father could troubleshoot the problems VEGAn still has.
VEGAn still uses a dual-core capable kernel like TNT does, right?

Vegan is basically the Advent Vega ROM with the gut of TnT. It has the TnT kernel, and a good bit of the libraries, etc.
Why not try both? The both have their pros and cons, so if you use something like clockworkmod you can try both and back them up as you flip between the two.
I personally use VEGAn more than TnT Lite now, but everyone has their own requirements.
Yeah, I started with TNT, then when to Vegan Beta 1, then back to TNT, then to Vegan beta 3. Been on that for a couple of weeks and am really liking it. I am tossing around the idea of going to TNT lite 3 because I like the transparent task bar. Been trying to theme Vegan for it, but can't get the worked out. Anyway, it's all a matter of preference really. They both are very good and usable.
I switrched to VegaN from TNT Lite.
I like it a little more than TNT
One thing that bugs me about Vegan is the microsd can not be unmounted and is not visible in the system settings.
I appreciate that people may think that Vegan is less stable, but think Tap UI adds its own stability issues and is a root cause of issues- even with 3.0.
VS would be FAR better off simply adding a basic UI layer for hardware and chipset drivers and stick with a vanilla 2.2. Tap UI should be treated as a sunk cost and VS should just get away from it.
added:
This device would have been HUGE if released as mentioned. Then again, we would then have no Fantastic Four to mingle with..... Maybe the way things happened, forced a need for a quicker dev path and it is all for the better for modders? Selfish of me- I agree.
I tried both and vote for Vegan. Afaik, TnT doesn't support USB mice/keyboards so that was the icing on the cake for me.

Long Live Vegan Tab

For anyone using tnt or tnt lite I pity you... Vegan tab is so superior... No more slowdowns, lost data, random FCs... To anyone out there on the fence about gtablet, try vegan, you wont regret it...
I've done both, but there are thing I like about TnT Lite better. So I think it comes down to a personal preference. The only for sure answer though is to root the g Tablet and let this thing fly.
Yeah I've tried both and at the moment tnt lite is running better for me. Just a couple things I like better about tnt lite. I'm sure once Vegan Tab is out of beta it will be stronger than ever ;-)

It'd be interesting to have a features comparison of the main ROMs and a comparison of the things they add. I realize it's mostly personal preference, but it still would be a big help.
For me vegan tab rocks and thanks to the people here at this forum that have worked out the kinks and this thing is awsome.

I wouldn't go so much and say I "pity" people who have tnt or tnt lite. I like the Vegan ROM because it resembles more of stock android. Both ROMs are awesome.
I guess it's a matter of opinion what you think is a better ROM. I'm just glad we gtab owners have choices so early in the development.
I've used both as well. Started with TnT version 2.x, moved to VEGAn beta 3 and was very happy and stable there with only minor occasion screen noise issues - Moved to Beta4 and had nothing but problems so I decided to tried TnT again and now am on Ver 3.0.
Question if anyone knows the answer: Is there a "lock" function in TnT? Can't seem to find one... one more question, is there a way of accessing account sync for Google in TnT? Cant seem to find that either. One observation, VEGAn had superior settings options it seems. Thanks
I like the feel of VegaN better than tnt lite. I also like the ability to change the keyboard but beta 4 has some issues with performance so I moved the tnt 3.1.2 for now. I can say it has been performing flawlessly since installed, I just wish I could find an easy way to swap keyboards.
I'll tell you, TNT Lite 3.12 is fraught with peril IMO... I had the following issues all fixed with Vegan tab:
1. Could not side load apps (kept saying it was blocked and directing me to settings that were not available in TNT lite 3.12... The setting is there in Vegantab. Load apps from unknown sources something or other...)
2. Reboot loop after resetting user data / clearing cache..
3. Unexplained slowness after and hour or two of use... (That hour or two included sleep)
4. Unreliable video / audio playback. Sometimes it worked great other times static / choppy playback...
5. Wake from power button resulted in dialog to sleep, power off, etc... Vegan tab wakes to a nice lock screen. Slide to unlock LOVE IT!
6. Google apps provider FCs all the freakin time... (Never seen one FC on Vegan tab)
I don't mean to besmirch anyones hard work or good name, but Vegantab is the superior option.. I pity the foo that is using TNTLite 3.12
I tried Zpad, TnT Lite and Vegan 3. The only place I experienced slowdown after wake up was Vegan 4. I liked Vegan ROM better of course then TnT lite but this slowdown after wake up is deal breaker for me.
I've messed around with both over the past couple of days.. I can see pros and cons for each, but I do like the UI of VEGAn a little better.. more like my Droid
Can anyone point me to the installation directions? Thanks.
vegan + smartkeyboard pro!
+1 more for Vegan. For me it is more stable and just works better all around the main thing no aps disappear like in TNT. Don't get me wrong "Props" to all the ROM developers and please keep going!

What are you 12? To say that "you pity" someone who does not share your opinion is just juvenile. Then you post a second time just to say the same thing all over again:
"I don't mean to besmirch anyones hard work or good name, but Vegantab is the superior option.. I pity the foo that is using TNTLite 3.12"
The developers have all worked so hard on both of the roms to help the gtablet community while never asking for a thing in return. The things you listed above that make TnT lite "fraught with peril" have not been a problem with all users and do have fixes for those who have experienced one or more of the same issues as you.
I have both ROM's running, one on each tab in my house and each one serves a person differently. TnT lite is on my wifes machine because she is not as technically inclined as I am and does not want/need all of the features that VEGAn offers and it has been a rock solid ROM. I have VEGAn on my tab because of features that are available in that ROM. Each ROM offers a different experience based on user preference, wants and needs.
"IMO" is just that, it is an opinion and sometimes opinions are just better kept to yourself. What we don't need is a "fanboy" war, appreciate everything all of our developers have contributed and remember that without them the G Tablet would basically be a crippled bunch of electronic parts that none of us would be enjoying right now.

I tried both roms on my G Tab.. personally I like the feel and smoothness of Vegan right now.. but as each one is improved upon.. I am sure I may change back and forth.

[Q] New G-Tablet owner in love! ROM advice needed.

Hi everyone! I just picked up a "reconditioned" Viewsonic G-Tablet from Sears for $279. It looks brand new, but I can tell it's been removed from the box and then re-packed. The prior owner must have decided it wasn't right for him/her after just turning it on! Well, lucky for me.
I'm not liking the Tap N Tap UI much so I'm looking at other ROMs. I've read all the threads here about Vegan, TNT Lite, Harmony, Zpad and CM ROMs but I can't decide. I've ruled out the Zpad and CM ROMs because they don't seem to be as polished/finished and they don't seem to be actively developed. Of the remaining ROMs (Vegan, TNT Lite and Harmony) can anybody tell what the main differences or advantages/disadvantages are between them? I'd love to hear personal opinions about why you chose one ROM over another.
My main concerns are speed, smoothness, stability and app support. Good Flash support is essential. I know I can just install each ROM and try them all myself, but I'm worried that just playing with each ROM for a short time I may not notice/realize each ROMs key features and shortcomings. Any help is greatly appreciated!
The winner for android 2.2 is Vegan 5.11. People just love it and it is in my gtab for personal use.
The winner for android 2.3 seems to be vegan experimentals. Even if it is not fully functional it seems it has catched attention from people around.
Personally i would recomend vegan 5.11 until vegan(android 2.3) comes out or a good rom of Honeycomb(android 3.0) is usable[Maybe tomorrow-maybe in a month].
Vegan 5.11 because it is very stable and performs really fast. Almost no fc in common apps(maybe in some games like those of gameloft) but it is very stable, fast and usefull overall.
You will probably get lots of suggestions as the ROM of the week changes as the Devs make changes or add functionality. For today I think your best choice is Vegan Tab beta 5.1. Unless you have to have cutting edge, I suggest not adding supplement 5.1.1 as some users have had issues, Follow the directions carefully and you will have a tablet that you will be happy with.
You will certainly get quite a few recommendations and such for each of the ROMS, but in the end I think that actually installing each one and giving it a whirl is the best way to see what works for YOU personally. There are plusses and minuses for all the ROMS, but in the end I believe it comes down to what is pleasing and what works for the individual - plus, the more you flash the easier it is
Try vegan first it's my personal favorite.
I highly recommend TnT Lite 4.2.x
A quick read through the VegaN thread will show you that some users have issues, some don't. I woudlnt and didn't take the chance as I'm less about the tinkering and more about the functionality of the tablet.
I've never had issues with TnT Lite. I was on 3.x and I went back to stock for a while but went back to 4.2 and have been with it since.
I'll second the TnT lite. Only issue I've had is market fixes. May not be a fault on our end as it seems alot of folks, tablet and phone owners are having issues with the droid market web page.
I tried Vegan as my first rom and got bored w/ it. was gonna try cyanogen but did the TnT lite rom instead. Haven't look back since.
But Rom's are a personal choice. try all of them and make ur decision from there, as each one has it's pro's and con's.
Casting my vote for VEGAn 5.1 Beta (Without the 5.1.1 supplement)
It will be my daily driver until either the VEGAn/Cyanogen Merge has an RC or until someone puts out a Honeycomb Port since the full system dump was just put out in the wild!!
Thanks a LOT for the replies so far. Seems like Vegan has a slight edge over TNT Lite in the voting so far.
Just curious, for those who chose TNT Lite over Vegan (or vise versa) after trying both, what were your reasons? Is one faster or smoother or better looking? More stable? I'm probably going to stick with 2.2 until the 2.3 ROMs stabilize.
Some said they switched to TNT Lite after using Vegan because they got bored with Vegan... why?
I've used both and lean towards VEGAn over tnt-lite. My reasons...VEGAn is closer to stock android and tnt-lite had too much stock tapntap still there.
Both are great but I had more market issues with tnt-lite.

Running TnT Lite 4.23 here. Have used VegaN in the past as well as trying out CM7 and earlier versions of TnT. I'll agree with the other posters that you need to try them out for yourself, either VegaN or TnT should make you VERY happy. One of the biggest differences between the two is that TnT is a modified version of stock software, taking out most of the TnT UI. VegaN on the other hand appears to be based on the phone version of 2.2 but does open up the settings menus as well as other things associated with 2. that in TnT Lite might not be accessible, more of a "pure" 2.2.
Thanks for all the replies! I'm reading this forum even as I'm working to root my new GTab! But I've run into a problem. I hope I'm not thread-jacking my own thread, but I'm having trouble installing Clockwork Mod Recovery.
I'm following the sticky How To Guide and I've unzipped the "internal" version of the CWM to the root of the internal SDCARD. When I hold the power and volume + button to boot into recovery I get the Viewsonic splash screen with "Detect a recovery key pressed" and "Booting recovery kernal image" in the upper left corner. But then nothing. It just stays on this screen forever. I waited for 15-20 minutes just in case.
Any ideas?

How did you go back to stock, I was thinking of that to see the fixes that Viewsonic has put out there. I am using TnT lite as well and like it except that my browser keeps closing.

There's a CWM friendly official VS update, I can't remember which one it is now.
I'd really have to go back and look into it. I flashed that through CWM and got stock and it did not overwrite CWM or affect anything in a negative way. I updated through the OTAs and they did not overwrite CWM either. Some people remove a line from the script but there's 1 version that doesn't attempt to even touch CWM....it's either 3053, 3316 or 3389. I'm really sorry that I can't remember which one.
I haven't experienced any force closing, I use Dolphin HD.
Also, the dev. that author's TnT Lite (Roebeet) I believe bases it on the newest stock releases according to the info, so you're getting any fixes offered in the stock with TnT, plus extra ones that are tried and true created by other devs.
Wtang:
If I remember correctly, you have to have that update and also a recovery directory....so if you just have the update.zip maybe you're missing something.
This is from the How to install Clockwork, Mods etc. thread:
"Step 1.
Download ClockworkMod v08 (This version has been found to work best...the newer version causes some issues with some ROMs.) There are two versions available; one for installing ClockworkMod from the internal memory, one for installing it from external memory (microSD/microSDHC card).
Step 2.
Unzip the file you chose (cwmod_internal.zip OR cwmod_microsd.zip) to the root folder on the storage option of your choice.
So, for example, if the storage option you chose has the drive letter “F:” assigned to it when hooked up to your computer, you would want it to look something like this…
A folder located at “F:\recovery”
A file located at “F:\update.zip”
Note that it's probably best to unzip this to your desktop and then manually copy them over to the tablet. That way you know everything is there.
Also, regarding preferring TnT Lite, for me personally I didn't bother with VegaN at all because of the sheer number of issues and problems I've read occurring with it in the VegaN thread. As I mentioned, maybe some people are lucky and it's flawless or some are unlucky and have issues. I don't want to risk it. Since I never had ANY issues with TnT Lite, it's what I prefer. While "close to stock" is nice, we have to consider that 2.2 was never meant for tablets. There's the pro that you get to more settings (like accounts and sync, for eg), but the con that it's an interwoven framework where there are now extra files and processes running that aren't necessary for a tablet at all, but necessary for the OS in general. That's how software works, process A is unnecessary for anything else than for phone use, but process F may depend on it somehow, and the OS may need process K which requires F to run a program you DO use on the tablet.
Since I don't find TnT Lite lacking in any way, I stayed with it. VegaN may full well be 'better' in some way, I just decided to stick with what works and has worked for me.
machine73:
For some reason the market is flawless on my Tab and I did nothing special. I even successfully send installs to it from the market. It doesn't show up as compatible for some, that's understandable though.

I've always used the "external" version on a microSD and never had a problem so that might be worth a try.
Also for what it's worth, I've been using the G-Harmony ROM and loving it. It is very nice and peppy. Everything works like it seems it should. I would very highly recommend it. I had put it on a couple G-Tabs for people who have asked after they seen mine and they love it as well. And after just watching the review of the Xoom on Engadget with HoneyComb, I don't think I'm in a hurry to upgrade to HC just yet especially since Flash is working just fine on my G-Tab right with G-Harmony.
Got CWM installed... what a pain.
Thanks for all the replies and help! What a bunch of friendly and helpful people here!
I tried both the internal and external SD card versions of CWM with no luck. I also made sure I had both the update.zip file and the recovery folder with the command file. The problem was something totally different.
I finally fixed the CWM problem. I think whoever owned my GTab before did some hacking on it... I see that superuser.apk was installed. Anyway I think the previous owner must have deleted the recovery image by accident. There was no recovery at all on my GTab, so that's why I couldn't boot into recovery to flash CWM. I had to use nvflash to install CWM over an APX connection from my PC. Pain the *ss but it worked!
Now on to installing some ROMs!!!

Best stable ROM on GTablet

I have not seen any threads on this yet but thought I would post it. I am new to the GTablet but have an android cell so I am not new to ROMs. So lets see who has some great feedback about there favorite stable ROM.
TNT Lite is probably the most stable, since it's a fixed stock with Gapps added and TNTcrap removed. It's the one I go with because the tablet has become integral to my work, and I want it to work as much as possible.
I haven't tried Vegan, but I've heard with the supplements that it's a very fast, very stable ROM. I don't know about the Ginger variants (as the posts say, they're experimental), haven't tried gADAM, and the reports of market issues have kept me away from Bitrix's work.
+1 for TnT Lite.
I'm also new to the grab and have been experimenting with the different roms. Currently I'm using vegan, but I do miss some if the tablet customized elements of tnt lite. The reason I changed over was because I wasn't able to use a third party keyboard. Is there a work around for this? In terms of stability, they both seem very good.

I used tnt and now vegan. Tnt ran fine..only problem i had was music and videos on sd card wouldn't be found by players. Switched to vegan and really haven't had any problems.
I have a gTab on the way. I want to be able to use a keyboard and mouse with it while at home. I take it Vegan would be the best option for this? I greatly appreciate any input. Thanks to everyone that develops for the gTab. I can't wait to get it.
In terms of stability, TnTlite and VEGAn are pretty much on par, no random FCs from just about anything I use, except for Colorize Widgets on TnTLite, so I use VEGAn 5.1.1 for now, also because I prefer the status bar of VEGAn.
All the gingerbread ROMs have a fubared market (No "My Apps", Can't purchase, Maps fails). And for me, I regularly get FCs on a bunch of things. But they do have teh snappys, scrolling is super smooth, and things load up really fast. In addition, the gingerbread ROMs are clearly marked as Experimental, so you kind of expect things to break in them.
Hope that helps
Have been using Vegan for a month after stock TnT started FCing.
Other than a flaky market, all has been OK

[Q] Which rom do you recommend?

I know, not another best rom thread. But I've been reading as many of these threads as I could and there still seems to be some disagreements among power users.
Right now, TnT lite vs Vegan 5.1. Am I missing something else here that is more stable?
I'm not sure there's THAT much difference in stability between these ROMs. Of course Vegan is heading toward a Gingerbread release which might be worth picking up soon.
A lot of it comes down to personal taste, as well as some particular things being a bit easier on one ROM or another.
I don't think you can go that wrong with either of them. That all said, I did vote for Vegan since "for me" it has worked best.
So someone actually picked the "idiot" option on the poll. Very classy. I will admit that the OP should not have even given the option to choose that since the "true idiots" will always show up and be true to their nature.
I enjoy Vegan 5.1 here.

To be fair, I was 1 of 2 who voted the idiot thing. Since I haven't got a g tab, not yet anyway. I'm still feeling the water before I decide to jump in. I am 70% sure I will get one. But once I get it, I want the most stable rom. You guys are nothing to me but guinea pigs.
Edit.
I'm the less techie between my boyfriend and I. I'm not going to be asking for his help at all, so I don't want to have to deal with apps crashing or infinite boot-up loops or such problems.
With vegan, do I still need to apply the fix for force closing?
Vegan has worked great for me with no additional "fixes". I use it to watch movies, surf the net, play games, and as an ereader. Probably 4 hours avg per day on it, and Vegan has given me no issues. I tried TnT lite as well, and while I saw no problems, I just preferred the feel of Vegan.
Vegan is a good Rom I used it for a while. I have been impressed with calkulins gtab rom. Very fast and nice tweaks.
I refuse to use Vegan simply because my serious disdain for Vegans in general. Petty? Sure. I don't care
So.. I use TnT Lite, and have for a while now. Quite stable, no major issues, the 5.0 upgrade was a bit of a pain but its been rock solid so far. Does everything I need it do. (To be fair, Vegan does too)
Though with the Gingerbread on Vegan soon, I may switch over to check it out..
May I ask what your disdain of vegan is about?
Ive run the gambit of roms on my gtab over the past two nights.
Vegan gingerbread + updated gb kernal rules them all.
And its experimental! This rom is headed in the right direction.

my g tab will get here tuesday, im in school and going to use it primarily to read textbooks on pdf and full screen jpeg scans of the books. it was either spend $400 this semester on books or get a gtab and magic wand scanner, figured id have more fun with the gtab than a book i wont have to buy books in future semesters plus i can use the internet for research and all that
so would you guys think the vegan gingerbread rom would be good enough for this, i know its still experimental. plus id like to be able to surf the net and view flash videos on a few different sites besides youtube.
There are a handful of little things holding back vegan GB but no show stoppers.
The gb keyboard has some issues (missing #s, no type ahead)
Market can be painful at times. There are a couple apps (like mvideoplayer pro) that I can't purchase and my apps comes up blank without a creative work around.
I believe the kernel is missing video hardware acceleration or there's something buggy with gfx/gl. Even with this issue it still scores a 2000 quadrant.
Latest version of Google maps FCs but 5.0.0 works fine.
For something that isn't even beta yet it is super nice and does an awesome job demonstrating the tablet capabilities of GB. Very tablet friendly.
