when i was running tnt lite 3.1 and i think 2.2, i had the new style market. i've switched to Vegan Beta, which i like more, but can't figure out how to get my market to update. i have all the market apps, i just want the new style theme. anybody know how to do this?

I'm running Vegan b3 too and it worked well for me. Follow the directions that were substituted in post #3 in that thread. It clarifies something that i had a question about while I was loading them up. Should work well.

i did exactly what these directions said, but still no new market. i should probably clarify that i do have the market working completely, but it's in the old style and not the revised new interface. that's what i would like to have. i don't have any issues with the market not working, i just want the new interface vs the old one. does the Vegan beta 3 just not support it? do i need to update to beta 4 for the new market.
does no one know how to do this? am i the only one that has this problem?

Hey all got my g tab 2 weeks ago and finally got the memory card for x mas. I want to flash my g tab from stock to tnt lite. I've prob read about a hundred threads and not sure I really understand how to get tnt's new version and get the access to the full market place. Was just wondering if someone could help me out or at least point me to the right posts, I'd greatly appreciate it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9670377#post9670377
That thread was what I used. Follow those instructions, using the files from that thread EXCEPT get the 3.10 file from the TnT thread. I followed those instructions, backed up, and then started to play around, and now I love my g Tablet.
just wanted to say thanks a million for pointing me in the right post. I finally got some time to flash my g tab, and it was easy to follow. Just have one question, I flashed it to tnt lite 2.2. How come I'm not getting a update notification? and since i'm not getting one, where can I go to get the updated version of tnt lite?
thanks in advace

Updates are turned off in the custom roms. Follow the ssame instructions you already did but install this file instead
TnTlite 3.1.0

Ok so I'm new to android! Thinking about purchasing the G tablet. I have read the following articles plus some

I don't understand the process first.
Do I setup ADB, root, then install clockworkmod, then custom rom vegantab, tnt or whatever?
I'm a total newbie to android and I just did all that last week.
I put clockwork and vegan on and then did the market fix, all following your second link. It works brilliantly.
I would ignore that first link you posted.

Exactly. I did this all last week too. Follow the second thread. Good luck and have fun
Much thanks.. The motorola xoom will be coming out soon with honeycomb. Samsung and LG are also producing honeycomb 3.0 android tablets. do you think i should just wait? I just wonder if the g tablet is upgradeable to 3.0
I followed the 2nd link you posted paying attention to all the details and had it running with Vegan 5.1.1 in less than an hour.
yes it seems hard at first but jsut reread everything and you will be fine.

I bet my money on it. Thats why I purchased it
I bought my g tablet in late November and as a newbie I managed to get it to the point that it ran flash, played angry birds and had the Google market from the great help I found on these threads. I ran out of free time to tweak it and muddle through the technical speak in the threads so now I am unsure if I can update the TnT version or if I should factory reset and follow one of the great newbie threads on this site to update since I can't remember exactly what I did to get where I am with it. Please be gentle- I know I'm a spaz and should have paid more attention to the steps I took originally.

Ok u r running the latest stock version. A new version 3991 is in testing now and may be out soon. A major change with many of the changes in roebeets enhancement pack. I would just wait a few days.
Ok- Thanks so much for your help!
brandyc,
I agree. If your time and memory are limited -- and your G-Tablet is working well -- leave well enough alone.
All the current ROMs have their unique features, but in the end there is getting to be less and less difference in the alternate ROMs and stock. It's fun to play, but not necessary!
I have two tablets -- one on TNT Lite 5.0.1 and one stock 3991. Both work great!

I just got my g tablet.
I want to root the device and later install a rom I was thinking on robeet`s tntlite
My question is, do I have to install first the 4.2.0. and later the 4.2.5 supplement?
Do I have to root it to attempt rom trials or can be done without rooting? anyway i was thinking to use z4 root.
any advice?
Thanx in advance Im absolutely new to android but Im an ios developer.
Would post a link if I had my tab with me but if you look in the development section there is a thread telling you exact steps to do what you want to. It has all the links for downloads you will need.
Oh this method involves mounting and unmounting partitions instead of using a rooting tool. Its worth doing this way. I felt it taught me more about my device. Good luck and have fun!

Thank you for replying, I was following this article:
How to unleash the power of your g tablet from android police( I cant post links yet)
I will search for the thread you are mentioning but if you can later please post it here I would really appreciate your help.
I recommend this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
HOWEVER... read about the available ROMS first. Check out the features and the caveats. See if Flash is already installed so you can skip a step in that instruction guide. Etc... Etc...
Most importantly... have fun and let us know how it goes ;-)
Edit: FYI... The current crop of custom ROM's come pre-rooted for your convenience. It's no longer a requirement to root the device first.
Thanx a lot bro, you helped me a lot with your reply, I will attempt all this at home since my office is 100% mac.
btw is this g tablet mac compatible? lol sorry for the noob questions
Quetions are good. They allow us to help and learn from each other.
Mac Compatible... Oh, yes. I'm typing this from my MacBook Pro which has a VirtualBox session running linux when necessary for nvflashing ;-) Your gTablet's internal memory can be mounted on your Mac desktop via USB or it can be shared via FTP or AFP using a few free apps from the market. Best of all worlds in my opinion.
Yep that's the thread I was thinking about. Glad someone found you the link.
Exactly what was said before, don't forget to have fun and let us know how it went for you and what rom you decided on.

As already referenced, this was the thread that I used, for my first upgrade.
I would recommend loading CWM as well, to redo your partitions to 2,0
Out of curiousity:
Did your new tablet boot up to a welcome screen with setup questions & an end user agreement or did it present you with a home screen ?
Thanx guys, Yap at the end I decided to went with tntlite 4.2.5
LGcubana
My gtab presented me with a home screen and since the beginning crash after crash! so dissapointing... inmediately picked up a new update and everything went smoothly after that, flash running, angry birds from factory presets and so on but I still wanted to moded the tab so that´s what I did.
Btw any of you guys know of a barscan app for the gtab so i can download apps faster from sites like appaware? I don´t know why but the android marketplace is not letting me install that app. Compatibility perhaps?
After hearing there will be another new 10K gtablet owners, some of them may want to install custom ROMs on it. There are plenty of instructions and help all over the gtablet forums. However, I am one of those people who do not like to read a lot... So.. here you go..
Good Luck and thanks Roebeet, ehunyadi, Zentath, evocre8r and pensacolacomps.

The step is very similar to install TNT lite. Instead of using the TNT lite.zip file, replace it with the vegan.5.1.zip file.
The key is make sure you get the correct version of clockworkmod.

there are updated version of clockworkmod but the one we recommend is ClockworkMod 0.8. please take a look at the first page of this thread and it includes the correct version of clockworkdmod.

I would suggest to read through the instructions and watch the how-to videos few times before flashing a new ROM. Good luck!
