[Q] Is alt rom still needed to make gtab better

Noobie here so please be kind.
I have been reading posts for only a couple of weeks and was wanting to try tnt lite 4.2 but what I can't understand is it really needed after the OTA update. Is there any real advantage? I get the handango market and play "angry birds" just fine. I guess what I am asking is it still worth it?
I have install cwm but just wanted some input before I pulled the trigger.

I have not done it
I am using their stock ROM without any issues for the past month now. Switched to the classic home and it has been working great. Yaa there is no android market, but there are lots of other places to get apps and you can easily side load apps and they have been working great for me! I don't think I will be changing the ROM on mine (maybe if someone gets honeycomb going on it then I might reconsider).
Hope this helps!

I use stock 3588 with the enhancement pack. Stablest I have seen yet. Ran both Vegan and TNT Lite and liked them, but little intricacies caused my to go back. Sounds like there is an OTA in the works that looks pretty sweet.

TnT seems to be cooking up an update that, if released, will add a LOT of the speed enhancements that TNT Lite has had for the last 2 months.
You'd still want a custom ROM for full market, root, adhoc and a few other things - but I agree that TnT is getting better with each update they make. I hope that continues.

I'm also using stock with enhancement pack. Market is still somewhat limited as compared to my Droid 1 but you can side load.

Problem with side loading is the malware. Even GAM has been getting some nasty bugs. TNTlite has been very stable and faster. I ran stock until a week ago.

I just ordered one of these. I didnt do my research until after I bought it. I didnt realize it doesnt have the android market. So, I'm guessing it doesnt have the google apps either??? Like no gmail, youtube, etc?
Can you just get the market apk and side load it and have the full android market?

Is it possible to get the market on here on the stock rom, or does it have to be a custom rom?

No need for that if all you want is market. Either install the enhancement pack, whuch gives you market plus more, or get the GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Vending.apk and put them in /system/app.

It seems like that next OTA might be the one that gives a reason to upgrade, assuming the update doesn't have the problem w the boot thing.

Not my experience: enhancement worked, but very limited, moving to tntlite gives probably 80% vs 1%

Thanks I did install the enhancement pack and got the market up and running.

WHERe do you bet enhancement pack. Thanks all

Listen to me very carefully. It takes about 30 seconds of your time to fix the market.

And it starts! LOL the non researching 10k+ crew are probably flooding the xda as we speak trying to figure out why this thing isn't what they expected
I like to think of it as a Pinto engine in a Ferrari lol, You just need to swap out the rom with tnt lite or another great rom and you will be juuuuuuust fine. Most of all roms come with market prebuilt in. If you want to stick with stock Viewsonic 2.2... well then IDK what your thinking lol

is there a way to get Gmail contacts and Google Calendar without flashing a different rom. I plan on keeping the stock rom most likley BUT really want gmail-contacts-calendar sync with google . ( dont care as much about market as I sideload)

Its faster, better and stronger. (Not to mention easier on the battery). You could even quite daft punk. But I installed this and I can say there is some significant improvements in all flash environments...

Netflix works on the Tab!!!

This post here.
Overcome 2.0 Beta 1. Not tested on anything else yet.
Enjoy

um, no...it does not. then, after edititing the build prop file, trying to fool netflix to think im htc vision (g2) still i get the same device error. this trick must have been patched already.
edit, apologies for the lack of details
cm7 2.3.4 gets detected by netflix and stops me at the device not supported pop up.

Are you trying with a stock rom or a custom rom?

It's working on my gTab... I am currently watching Battlestar Galactica.
I am running Overcome ROM Version 2.2.2 Beta 2. Some scenes were a bit grainy at first, but it seems to get progressively better with usage.

I didn't state nor did the link I linked to state that any prop editing needs to be done. Fresh Overcome GB ROM and the APK in the link and Netflix plays. I just finished watching Predators. Don't state it doesn't work when its just your device thats not working.

sorry i forgot to mention that im running techno's cm7 2.3.4 (perhaps thats the prob?) ill be trying overcome asap.
apologies for saying it didnt work for me...try and relax a bit fella, my tab is working just fine otherwise.
apparently the overcome guys are the only lucky ones?

On my Wifi only Tab I changed the lines in the build.prop to HTC and I can login and hear sound when I select a movie but no video.

I believe wifi tabs have different hardware then 3g ones. Build prop could be one fix but I think there might be a hardware check or something that is preventing video for some.

SO i take it, Netflix only works on GSM overcome Roms...Sprint tab rooted with original Rom does not work. The screen just disappears when you log in. SMH at Google. To many software/hardware versions for any company to make a app right.

i ment in like australia..

Works fine with the new Gingerbread ROM on Tmo US.

another +1 on overcome 2.0 (2.3.3) i havnt had much time to test but it loads and plays. ill see in the next couple days how it works without wifi. at home it seems to be all well.
comming from technomancer's cm7 port overcome is MUCH MUCH smoother, cleaner, faster and has none of the issues i used to have with cm...but thats what you get with ports that arent updated regularly. the older overcome worked well, but i chose cm7 because of the settings and such, and back a couple months ago there wasnt THAT big of a diff (and cm is whats on my g2...so i thought id prefer it) now after using the latest 2.0 i cant believe how well this tab functions now.
so, netflix made me switch roms, and it works!!...but i got a bonus surprise with how well overcome really is.
very good day for my tablet!

Works perfectly on my us tmobile tab with overcome beta 1 and 2.3.3! Picture quality is very crisp. Streams with no lag
Works so well that I was on the phone with netflix yesterday and was telling the guy on the phone about it, info on 2.3.3.
and the the netflix app in his email got me 6 free months of service via coupons.
Awsome!

Also I think its funny that one of my other devices is actually supported and it doesnt work on it! Rather watch it on the tab anyways.

does not work on att stock rom.

[Q]Embeded flash video

Im having problems playing embeded flash video. In opera, dolphin hd and maxthon i just get no display at all. In stock browser i get the preview image but after pressing play the flash video just goes black.
I am not rooted, everythig stock and up to date.
Has anyone experienced this and what might be the solution?

same problem here...

Flash 11 is not compatible with all the above. You need to download the previous version of flash and downgrade.

See here post #10.

Fantastic! Thanks a lot, really made my day.
But why would they upgrade and remove this function? Is it a mistake?

They didn't intend anything. And no it wasn't a mistake. They just made the upgrade. And it just happens that the upgrade isn't compatible with the said browsers. It's the devs of those browsers to have to update their browsers to be compatible with the new flash.
This is something that has annoyed me for a long time. Small time devs actually test their products out with many platforms to make sure they're compatible. Big companies like adobe just create their updates in a vacuum and then say "screw you if your stuff isn't compatible with our new stuff". Sometimes it seems to me like they don't even test out their updates first before they release them. It's like the bigger the company the less time and resources they spend on testing out their new stuff.

Hulu Plus New altered APP on Sky Rom

Hi People
I tried using the new posted Hulu Plus APP that has been posted on the general android forum and it did not worked even though some people are reporting that is working on stock Skyrocket. I have SKYSandwish Rom installed and think the intense ad blocking on the Rom is keeping Hulu Plus looping on the buffering screen while tring to play the ads. I am saying this because people with the sam eproblem are reporting that after removing adblocker it started working 100%. To the developer of this ROM can you make the necesary changes to make this modified HULU Plus APP work. It is so much more smother than doing it through the web page.
Thanks.
Richard

First of all you need to post this in his rom thread and second of all for rite now remove that ad blocking.

hey try installing this hulu. Let me know if it works or not.

Appdroid
Is this Hulu.apk the same as the one included by Sean on his Sky ICS rom or the one posted in the eneral android thread? I ask because I have the one included with Sean ICS working ok. The reason I am asking is because what I want to do is make the modified Hulu Plus app work. It is a much better solution because is so much smother and faster.

Ok tested the hulu apk you said but is the same that comes with Sky ICS rom. This is not the Hulu Plus apk I am talkin about. The one I am saying is the full official Hulu Plus app that was modified about 2 days ago and posted in the General Android section that has been made to work with every android device. It is the real Hulu Plus app just modified to work on every android device without even rooting.

OH snapp idk about that one. I thought you were talking about the one form ics rom. I never looked into it. So can't tell you what's wrong sry.

This is the tread I am talking about:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449110
Some people already confirmed working on Skyrocket with skyroketer Rom. The people saying that it did not work for them is because they either had adblocker or because the Rom they were using had some kind of adblocking that prevented it from displaying the ads needed for Hulu Plus to work.
Can you please help me and at least post this on the Sean Sky ICS thread until I have the clearence to post directly on the thread. I would apreciate your help with this.

Good Morning
Has anyone got this working yet?
