framework does not seems to work with new Vending.apk app..
i tested it fine with old vending apk, and at last moment installed new Vending apk and now it crashes.
Cool, wait until you upload a revised version.
Hi Dexter,
Do yu think it's possible to use TitaniumBackup Backup(Program and system) from 1.2 to réinstall program and system on these 0.3?
Thanks
Stéph.
Ive installed the "crashing" version...
now I wait for the new release...
but...
it's possible to have some some more languages (i.e. Italian )
Ive force close with contact app...maybe a new market related issue...
I cant set my own wallpaper...ther is a way to do that please?
btw great rom! maybe better than foliomod! I really like the new interface!
ps. no screen lock. Ihave to set it somewhere?

apps yes, but generic settings for the specific edition no..
as this has other framework + different launcher, some settings differ.
but try and find out, you probably find some apps crashing, but then try uninstalling and reinstall.. never tried it.

thx!
First experience (except for my small marketapp problem)
is , that it download/install faster... and lagging seems less here?
Of course post experience compared to my Toshiba edition, so we know if its worth using or just maybe, the fact that our Toshiba edition is actually is quite good..
Seriously I love it, it's running perfectly great:
-notification bar and setting are just awesome..
-wifi working great for me
-memory usage is good
-battery and standby I'll check tomorrow after night testing
-SDCard works great even with toshiba file manager (used titanium backup to install back my apps)
-new home also great but less responsive
-launcherpro or adw.launcher both works great but "setting" doesn't work since it's using new setting app
-Browser and mail client looks great
Still some bugs:
-No 360° rotation - Sorry 360° works great but doesn't work with home default launcher
-Only english (us & uk), more local 2 don't change a lot
-Taskmanager doesn't work
well this is my feedback after few minutes testing
again Dexter a great work, thanks
PS/ Happy Holidays for all

you must be doing something wrong, i got like 15 languages selectable, and even more, when i type my national code as explained in readme.txt .
so check again.. many lang's works fine on this one, just using morelocale2
Hi all,
thanks for this new mod Dexter, but I've some questions :
- With morelocale2, I've change the langage to french, but I've always a QWERTY keyboard, any idea ?
- The mail app don't sync my email with hotmail in exchange, do you know why ?
I like this mod, you're doing a very good work, all my respect
Cheers

Linky: http://tapntap.http.internapcdn.net/tapntap/viewsonic/update-smb_a1002-3588-user.zip
Found this completely by chance (and via a little help from a ruby script). The /viewsonic portion tells me that this might, and I stress MIGHT, be a soon-to-be-released final. We shall see.
Anything great in it a 2.3 Maybe
Fat chance on that. I don't expect 2.3 from them for quite a while, unfortunately.
Gingerbread cm7 or TnT 3588 to test tonight.... hmmm.......
EDIT: Very few changes between 3452 and 3588 - the usually app apks touched, build.prop, and the framework files. I haven't checked the kernel version yet. Maybe they finally fixed the camera.
EDIT EDIT: Same kernel as 3452, so this would be a TNTL 4.2.0. Not sure what they changed over 3452 yet, maybe just some under-the-hood tweaks. No Flash in here, btw.
noticeably faster than 3452
really fast screen transitions
would like to know what was added/updated

(portrait mode) around 2350 FWIW
I'm going to watch this for a few days, to see if it gets finalized. Good to hear that it seems faster than 3452 - maybe they tweaked something in the framework.
it would be helpful for us neophyte tinkerers if someone could extract the 3588 system disc image file
TIA

Hi,
It's pretty simple to do (Windows):
- Google unyafss.exe and download it
- Unzip the file from VS
- Make a dir named system
- copy system.img to dir system
- cd system
- <path_to_unyaffs>\unyaffs system.img
That should extract it.
Jim
I did a diff betwen 3452 and 3588 already, and only the app apks and framework files have changed. Nothing else. My guess is that 3452 (which is the basis for TNTL 4.x.x) was an early UAT and 3588 is now either a RC or possible a future final version.

Scores 1800+. Stock 3588, no enhancements added.
2400+ with enhancement added.
Scores aside, is there a noticeable speed differnceby addingthe enhancement pack?

Ok. Here's the skinny.
First, I am running Vegan Beta 5, and this worked for me. It might work for you to. It might also screw your tablet up. Them's the breaks. The nature of the fix means it shouldn't cause serious issues, but hey, you never know. Make a backup.
You should choose the version for your ROM. If someone running another rom wants to send me your build.prop file, I'll incorporate it into another ROM-specific update.
Flash this file, and you should have working rotation and such on Google Maps 5.
Let me know if there are any problems.
Update (2/1): Added fix for TNT Lite 4.2.1 (thanks atakapa)
Update (2/1): Added fix for VEGAn with Swype included (thanks deep_powder2012)
I flashed this but it didn't work. Still no multitouch rotation for me in maps.

What kernel are you running? I swapped over to Clemsyn's, but didn't think that would make a difference. I'll reflash and check it out.
Anyone else have problems (or try?)

Flashed back to stock and the flashed the fix and rotation worked. Are you willing to do some testing, or give me some info about your system? PM if so.
Thanks
Just flashed it and I can now rotate to the 3d view in maps on VEGAn 5.1 beta. I have to hold my fingers pretty far apart but it works.
Awesome. Thanks!
Sent from my Viewsonic 10" GTab...
Worked great for me on vegan5 and pershoot's kernel. Thanks
Worked! for Adam 2nd edit <nice>
Works with TnT Lite 4.2.1 with clemsyn's kernel, didn't try it with default kernel or pershoot's.
Thanks.
To all,
This replaces build.prop in /system with what looks like the one from vega, so back it up before you flash.

Correct. The smarter thing to do would have been to patch the file with the one line that is needed:
ro.opengles.version=131072
For those of you who would like to do that, as well as pushing the correct multitouch file into system/etc/permissions, feel free.
If someone wants to incorporate the patch correctly, I'll be happy to edit the OP.

Just need to flash the .zip then edit your back-up build.prop with the above line and save/replace the Vega one.
This is what I did and it works perfectly.
/edit/ -- .zip for tnt_lite in next post (#11)
Here's the .zip with the corrected build.prop for Tnt_lite_4.2.1
Big Thanks to jwischka for finding this for the vegan rom. I just changed the build.prop to the one from tnt lite.
This would be installed like any supplement *.zip, no wiping data needed. It just adds an xml to the permissions folder and one line at the end of the build.prop to reference correct opengles version.
As always, you are responsible for your equipment and what you do to it.
It worked fine, thanks.

I'm using Vegan with stock kernel but using a modified build.prop to enable swype. I added the opengles line to the bottom of the build.prop and pushed the .xml to system/etc/permissions folder but still no joy. Funny, I had flashed the zip in recovery but when I went to make these edits later after reading the comments, my build.prop was unchanged and the new xml file not in the permissions folder, like the script didn't "take". I've rebooted several times but still no rotation. I can zoom just fine using multitouch but can't rotate. However, the little round dot on the top right does change to look like a compass when tap it. I don't think it did that before. ?? I'll be happy to test any other suggestions!
Thanks!

I found that if you flash the file provided in the original post (THANKS SO MUCH, BTW!), and then go re-edit your build.prop with Root Explorer the same way the original directions said to initially enable Swype, it all works! (I've got full-on Swype and Maps 5.0 rotation going right now on Vegan b5.1). This tablet just gets better and better!

I thought it might be nice to get a thread going for discussion on the CM7 port for harmony for our gtablet device. There are nightly builds which are starting to incorporate some great things such as video acceleration and the new google release of 2.3.4 could be around the corner. In fact some 2.3.4 code made it into nightly#60.
I am in no way associated with CM7. If someone from CM7 or someone in some way associated with CM7 wants to run this thread or create a similar one please do so.

How-To Guide:
(slightly edited from Wiki http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Viewsonic_G_Tablet:_Full_Update_Guide)
Before you do anything — Make a backup
Don't forget to back up your data. If you have synced the device with a Google account, then the contacts, calendar, Gmail & select other Google-related data will not be lost and will come back after the next sync. However, you should backup anything you want to keep that is not stored on the SD card:
Bookmarks,
Applications; use Titanium Backup or the Astro File Manager, for example,
Any application data not on the SD card.
It would also be a good idea to backup everything stored on the SD card in the rare case the SD card must be formatted to resolve any major problems.
Backup for Root Users is a free application that can assist with backing up your data.
Installing ClockworkMod Recovery
For this guide, it is not necessary to root the Viewsonic G Tablet in order to flash CyanogenMod. You can simply install ClockworkMod Recovery & continue on.
Warning: Installing ClockworkMod Recovery on the Viewsonic G Tablet will void the warranty.
Download the ClockworkMod package: Download
Unzip the ClockworkMod package & copy the recovery folder & the update.zip to the root of the internal memory (NOT in any folders & NOT to the removable SD card).
Power off the Viewsonic G Tablet and reboot holding the Volume Up button and the Power button until the device is in the stock recovery.
While in the stock recovery, use the Volume buttons to navigate to the apply update.zip & press the Home button to select it.
Once the it the update.zip is applied the Viewsonic G Tablet will have ClockworkMod Recovery. Please continue to the next section.

Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card.
Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the SD card also.
Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
Select Install zip from sdcard.
Select Choose zip from sdcard.
Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
Optional: Install the Google Apps by performing steps 7 - 9 again and choosing the Google Apps update.zip.
Once the installation has finished, select +++++Go Back+++++ to get back to the main menu, and select the Reboot system now option. The Viewsonic G Tablet should now boot into CyanogenMod.

And that bad frog is right. Use bekit's 0.8 GTab recovery and forget about Rom Manager. You'll just end up having to nvflash...

Search for the endless threads on hard bricked and soft bricked tabs from using rom manager on the gtab. And before all you fanbois jump in and tell me you had no problems understand this....there are at least 2 different partitioning setups on the Gtab from the factory. Sometimes you can't even boot after flashing Gingerbread roms without nvflash.

So who is using the latest nightly? I'm running 60 and seems stable. I occasionally get a stall on browser apps after a long sleep. But can't find any other issues.

Hardware Decoding?
So I installed AOSP the other day (the one in the Dev forum) because it was claiming hardware acceleration. It loaded up and was super laggy, but also didn't play the same video files that Vegan 5 played. I loaded up CM7 today and found the same thing. It's not nearly as laggy as the AOSP build, but still does not play video. I get volume, but no sound. Am I mistaken is thinking that we in fact have hardware acceleration now?

Progress is being made but we aren't there yet. Did you try mobo player? Engage software decoding and you'll be good to go.

I've been using RockPlayer and havent had any issues. Most notably for me though was YouTube HD videos now play with no lag.
I think Irs421 is right. Its progress but not complete hardware acceleration until Nvidia releases GB drivers I would guess.
I figured as much. Progress, even slow progress, is good. I'm liking CM7 so far any how.

THIS ROM MAKES THIS PAD ROCK NOW
For now its back to using IUW to do either one of the versions..
you will also need to have done a U-BOOT-NAND upgrade at some stage.. and need to be showing at least uboot - 0.6.1.5 (587) at bootup at the right hand bottom of our screen.. if you dont have this then you will need to do it..
1: Here's a new link by Smarkies that has a great pictural step by step flash guide

2: This is the new Flashable via SDcard 2.2 v2.1 thanks to vihtor

instructions.. thanks to Jiggity Janx
CONFIRMED #3925 2.2 v2.1 bootable sd install. One step process. Great job!
(for those wondering I have 6.1.5 (559) uboot so any at that or later should be allright)
EDIT: IF you have at least 6.1.5 (559[or higher]) showing on the Infotmic screen when booting you should be able to 1) download the .img file at the link above, 2) burn the .img file to an sd card using win32diskimager (or winhex), and 3) insert the sd card into slot between 2 usb ports while booting to update to 2.2 v2.1.
PS Not only does camera still work clearly for me on 559, camcorder records now.

3: Ramdisk work around
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13974529&postcount=58
read posts from about 55-58 on Smarkies, why it is a good idea to re-flash the ramdisk
other versions if you have no success with the one above....
here's a link to the files you need.. iuw1.1-english
http://www.fileserve.com/file/taD2UBA
plus instructions..
http://www.fileserve.com/file/6Hn9ytR
Use IUW to make a bootable sdcard.. this is first version.. still stable, it is posted for those that dont want to go straight in to flashing a unwrapped image file.. if you use the instructions you should be able to just dump/flash this to your usual bootable sdcard.. stick it in the top slot and it will upgrade to this version.. no usb needed.. (note.. you will still have needed to have upgraded your "u-boot" at some stage... read further down for this..
ROM 2.2 V1_8
http://www.b2cus.com/software/WWE10B_Android_2_2_V1_8_U0M_GT2005.rar
2ND VERSION -
Warning - be slow and sure about what you do here.. you can brick your pad if you burn the wrong files... you have been warned..read the other threads before you do anything.. and have the opened IUW instructions with the pictures if you are unsure...
1st use one of these...

Working and rooted.
I installed #3656 first and skipped the UO file when installing this and everything worked great. I installed the newest UO 0.6.1.5 () too and root seems to work after that too.
What I really like with this release is that swedish language is included (was missing in all updates after 1623) and ofcourse that it's Froyo!
To get Titanium Backup to work you will have to copy your old TitaniumBackup folder from the SD card to the new created when you installed TitaniumBackup, after that TitaniumBackup will find all your backuped apps.
It seems like both Flytouch2 and Flytouch3 are at version #3925, maybe the are compiling new versions for both pads at the same time now, so we can count on a new version when Flytouch3 gets one?

NOTE: do not use the update software on the pad even through it says there is an update available.. it will take you back to firmware: 2.1-update1 V1.8#2752
kernel version : 2.6.32.9

reserved for more info
Bugs so far.. will update as the forum grows so that we have a reference page at the front.. saves a lot of reading later if this grows too much..
Please report your bugs and we can get people to work out fix's for you..
1: Ndrive does not work in this version
2: Small amount of people experience has Wifi connection/dropout problems - yet to find a fix..
Also no confirmed tests on Ethernet connections as yet - will confirm once we get some feed back - I am in Singapore airport and wasn't able to use the the Ethernet plugin for net.. so will check it out over the next few days as I will be in different Hotels so can test connections on the road
3: No apps2sd --- hope some one smarts finds a work around.. it would be killer if we could redirect some of the apps to see the SD1
A note on this...
in 2.2 V1.8 the file structure is sdcard local ram storage.... and ... SD1 - sdcard storage.. and SD2 -
in 2.2 V2.1 file structure is Local ram storage... and SDcard 1 and 2
both are locked in to using the local partitions for program storage and program data storage..
Which is a shame as things like ebooks and heavy graphic programs it would be nice to send the storage to SD1 or 2
This is fixed.. look at Smarkies thread for work around..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074251
4: Synchronization contacts and google calendar - Mixed bag on this one.. some get it some don't...might be a cache thing..
Fix once again provided by Barsuk .. check posts from Capeschae and Barsuk for fix.. they are from posts 121 pg13 - 126 pg 13
5: Paid Market apps - This is because of the China location block from Google more on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551929&page=3
there seems to be a fix thanks to Barsuk..
Problems with market. Not all applications are available. Workaround: clear data for Google Services Framwork then force stop it then reboot tablet.]

Yes..I had that problem too..as tried to set a cache Linux as well..had a God arwful time with it..I think it is something to do with how they have setup the drives for the internal ram on the pad..
Hopefully one of the guru's will grab this then work out how we can get real apps2sd..then we will be laughing..

I installed this official Froyo too. It's very, very fast, more than all the different firmware tested from here!
Some remarks/questions:
- The camera is not working anymore, the preview screen shows green or sometime other colors...
- A lot of apps are pre-installed, meaning that it is impossible to update them (Dolphin Browser, Skype, Facebook etc...)
- Is it possible to install Flash Player on it? Will it work? Does anybody tried?
- Is it possible to overclock the Flytouch2 with this rom? Is the kernel overclockable?
Thanks,
Tuc

Hi,

Thank you and a greeting.

Anyone else confirm it works before I flash it..
@patosoft
I am running Wifi with WPA/WPA2 PSK with Auto i.p.. no problems
been downloading and streaming with it..
@Asiaa -- use IUW to make a bootable SDcard for the 2.2 1_8 version
http://wwe10b_android_2_2_v1_8_u0m_gt2005.rar/
After installed 2.2 v2.1 #3925 I found two bugs
- The camera does not work properly. I fixed the camera by replacing u-boot-nand.bin. Currently I have version 0.6.1.2 (587)
- Failure to sync contacts and calendar.
Market and Google Maps in this version work properly.

not able to root
This verision is awesome, having problems rooting it, have tried z4root and universal android root also, anyone have a solution for this. also having problems with market, not showing alot of apps, mostly Chinese and no google navigation
I used UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5. The first time did not work the second time worked.
Hello,
Thank you for answering me. It is true that by dhcp works perfectly, but prefer to solve the problem and leave it in static. Anyway with this solution, I better to work with the epad and already ire sought a way to fix it.
A greeting and thank you
After trying a few flash websites, I noticed that Flash Player is ON BOARD in this Froyo ROM!
But colors are something between colored and black&white...and crash in fullscreen mode.
The colors issue has been fixed on the new Flytouch (512Mb RAM) - the following quotation from Androidtablets.net explains how to proceed:
Flash Player issues RESOLVED - new flash player .apk
I have tested this on my ft2v2 with TCH rom 0419, and it mostly worked! Flash now played with correct colours and almost no lag once buffered. It did however crash when I attempted to go full screen, so not perfect yet. Opera mini and Maxthon Browser use the youtube app for youtube website if you have it installed. This works excelently. Flash worked well on other flash websites, I tried an emag site and it loaded where it would not before.
Here is the new apk: Adobe flash for flytouch3.rar (Thanks koti)
Password: koti
Install:
1) use Root Explorer to rename file \system\app\install-flash-player.apk to .old
2) Reboot Flytouch
3) Install the above .apk
I tried youtube and also some eMag sites.
NOTE: This is now included in Tim's ROMS 3b and 3c.
NJoy!

I tried to find the file \system\app\install-flash-player.apk but it doesn't exist in our 256Mb Flytouch...so I directly installed the new Flash Player from the link above but nothing changed with the Flash videos colors, even after a restart.
Does anyone know how to properly install this new version of Flash Player???!!!

I rectified,
Still failing me the wifi. Automatically I hold a more function, but is still cutting. Before I had the firm 3245 and it worked fine. So I'm going to return to this firm.
"Confirmed that it is 2.2

That would be good - waiting patiently
