I was running 3588 with the Enhancement Pack every since I got my G Tablet. Didn't even play with the stock at all. Was fine for the 3 weeks I have had it. Today my market wasn't listing anything under My Apps, and I couldn't search and find a lot of the market items. I redid the market fix, and then I started getting force closing on almost all my apps.
I reset my tablet back to stock 3588 and I have decided to stay stock and just side load my apps in hopes the 3991 update really is going to make this better when it comes.
Got everything set back up, apps all loaded back up, but I can't figure out HOW to change the wallpaper on the classic TNT. There is no gallery to select from and the default picture app sucks and won't let you select images to be a background. I know this sounds dumb, but if you long press on the home screen no option except to pick the default ones that come from Viewsonic.
Any apps that will allow you to change the wallpaper?
Nevermind, saw a thread created aftermine that mentinoed using Muilti Picture Live Wallpaper from the Market. Transferred it over from my phone and it works well.

I'm using Fresh 1.0.1. I downloaded the Vanilla apps, and apparently there is no way to un-install them. I'm happy with vanilla lock screen and vanilla clock. But I do not like the new gallery. I wish I could go back to sense.
So my next best option is to just get a new photo gallery app from the market. But I can't really seem to find one.
Any suggestion?
flikie with 3d gallery add-on

I'm using Fresh as well. For me, I just freeze Launcher Pro using Titanium. (You must have full version) When it completes the "freeze" and you hit the home screen it should ask you what you want to use, ie. Sense, Launcher Pro, Android Mate. Select Sense with the "remember" option and you should be set. You can change back by un-freezing.
A word of warning- if you upgrade Launcher Pro or Flipz drops in a new version and you un-freeze a older version you may go into a FC loop.
EDIT: I posted in the wrong thread! sorry.
But since I did, i might as well be somewhat useful. I was linked here by this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729888
its a thread to find replacement apps for cyanogen vs sense. I very much dislike the "3d gallery" provided by cyanogen. I like a simple file viewer. problem is, if I use something else to browse my files, and click "set as wallpaper" it seems to be conflicted with the 3d gallery program. I then went in to system/apps and removed 3d gallery, but now i cannot set ANY wallpapers. any ideas?
EDIT: Ok.. I think i'm just on crack... everything is working as I want it to now... who knows. I usually screw up more than I care to admit
One of my buddies came down today with his new G Tablet for me to load TNT Lite, ADW Launcher, the Market, etc. after hearing me rave about mine.
I turned on his tablet and Shazam! his already had most of the goodies I have on TNT Lite 4.20! Where mine had (for instance) a launcher bar on the right with internet, apps and phone icons, his had 5 icons - internet, apps, settings, and two more I can't recall right now. Where mine allowed only 4 columns of icons on the desktop, his had six. i had to load ADW Launcher EX to get this stuff!
Obviously, in the latest updates, VS has changed a lot, and enabled a lot of things they didn't have when I got mine less than a month ago.
The troubling thing, though, is that I couldn't install Clockworkmod ... when I tried to start the tablet in recovery mode it just hung there and I had to manually turn it off to get off the screen. So CWM didn't install.
And the real biggie is that the Market isn't accessible. No icon and I couldn't find a way to load one. (Separate thread on this one.)
I'll bet a lot of people who returned theirs would be sad to know that VS has fixed so much and they acted too soon.

Which version of firmware did your friend have? (Settings->About Tablet)
There are 2 versions of Clockworkmod, one for the internal memory (/sdcard) and one for the microsd (/sdcard2). Make sure you pick the correct one depending on where you want to put it.

I have TNT Lite 4.4 and if I remember right, Market came with it.
You do have to do a Market fix, (and a build.prop change to olympus) to get to most of the apps.

I doubt if people many people these days rely on getting any software from Viewsonic for the tablet anymore.

I'm on stock 3588, those icons are (from top to bottom) internet, mail, apps, settings, and the TnT widget screen.

I installed the market, sorry I looked and I can't find the thread I used. After I installed the market, I used this thread to fix it.

I wouldn't go that far, but it's not the horrible lagging POS people make it out to be. It IS slower than custom ROMs, and honestly if I was stuck on TnT and (for example) it took me a full 20 seconds to switch from classic mode to TnT and then into settings just to remove an App I'd pull my friggin hair out.
And I'm bald, pulling my hair out hurts me more than it hurts most people.
The friend was probably running the 4349 firmware that Viewsonic pushed out a while back. It uses a 1.2 kernel that's incompatible with most versions of clockworkmod. There is a version of cwm that will work on this kernel branch, but will not work on 1.1 kernels. You can tell easily if it's the 4349 or 3588 stock firmware because the former has a lockscreen and the latter does not. If the friend has 3588 then the cwm problem was most likely an inept installation attempt rather than the version of the recovery.
You install market on this stock firmware the same way you install it on other stock firmware versions.

How to install the market on a stock tablet, from "Stock G-Tablet MOD Thread"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9536611#post9536611
Sorry if this is a double post.
Alright guys, I have to ask because this is driving me crazy. Is it new to honeycomb or is it an asus add-on that put an icon on the home screen for everything downloaded from the Android Market (Amazon Appstore doesn't do it). I have used ASUS, Launcher Pro, and ADW as my launchers, and they all do it. I keep my default launcher home clean only to be plagued with messages every time I install an app saying "No Room Available On Homescreen" because unwillingly, android is still adding them to each launcher's homescreen even when they're not running.
I've force-closed each while not in use and tested, and they still add. Its driving me crazy, how do I make it stop?
ALso, does anyone else find "Refresh failed" messaging popping up randomly?
In the Market navigate to "my apps" then hit the menu butto in the top right. There should be an option there to add shortcut for new apps, just uncheck it and presto no more annoying shortcuts. As for the refresh, yep I get it every once in a while when my weather tries to update. Haven't figured that one out yet, although I read a thread somewhere that had that fixed. Don't quote me on that as I have been busy with my Evo 3D the last few days and haven't kept up here.
Ohhh man thank you so much. I'd gone through the menu in Market before, but didn't think they'd change it up under my apps!
No worries, glad to help
I'm using Facebook for Android both on my phone and tablet.
Some time ago I applied for beta testers for Facebook Android app, and soon new version of Facebook app was out, with main difference that instead of three buttons in top bar there were now four, the left bar disappeared, and option to choose between top stories and most recent stories was gone. Also if I scrolled through news feed, and chose an external link, upon going back to Facebook, the app threw me at the top of the news feed.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, and saying that I wasn't pleased is an understatement.
So I got out of beta testers, uninstalled the app and via google play, I installed the standard app. The old layout and options were back UNTIL I turned off the app for a few hours. As soon as I opened it again, the new layout was back. Does ANYBODY have any idea why this happens? My girlfriend has the same app on SG4, with a screensize larger than on my phone, and with regular updates, she has the old layout from the begining?
Interestingly, if I force stop the app in app manager, the old layout returns, but only for a short time because if I leave the app, and open it again in a hour or so, the new layout returns.
Any help would be appreaciated. I would REALLY like the old layout back

So basically you know the wallpapers that are usually stock with the device when you select the "Magazine Unlock"? It changes the wallpaper everytime you open the device. I really like that feature don't get me wrong so I naturally tried my best to get the latest and best wallpapers from Huawei themselves.
However today, it seems that they've all disappeared and I have to possible ways this has happened. Either the stock wallpapers which were updated have been deleted within 3 months of getting them (I doubt this because they were relatively new) or I've manually deleted them from the gallery which I never did.
So UHHHHH if anyone has the stock wallpapers that usually update to the phone I'd really like to download that because it seems I have nothing to update.
