First of all if you want to "jailbreak" something I would suggest you buy an iphone; g1' get rooted. Second of all if you post in the right section you have a better chance of not gettinh flamed. Thirdly if you spend some time reading current/old posts you can get other peoples opinions on each rom. Flash and see how each rom works for you.....not all g1's react to the same rom the same way. Put some effort into it and you will be suprised how much more you learn. Good luck

Start asking your questions in the right sub-forum (Q&A) (Theme) or even in (General), or simply search.......Final result will be a ban for you up too 3 days.
Thanks
Thread Trashed!!

finally getting ready to mod my g tab

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
http://www.mediafire.com/?b4hd4b5wa1fot7b
Check this link for current 3.1.0 rom and info
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004

just wanted to say thanks again for the direction to the right posts/websites. Everything went nice and smooth and am loving how much smoother my g tab is running and operating.

Two questions.

I installed swiftkey keyboard, and cant get it to work. How can I get it working?
Also, if I download titanium backup, can I remove some of the blot apps, like
Some of the google apps I'm not using, or say the grocery list app??
Thanks

Also I notice the new maps does not have the 3D feature, why is that?

anyone know/>?

Are you running stock tnt or a custom ROM?

You took the time to tell him to search, but it would've been decent to just give him a link.
I'm using the same Tom, I've searched, and haven't found the answer either

Hopefully someone can answer......

Already gave him links in another thread. As he kept asking questions I though that learning to search for his answers may be of benefit since each question in this thread has been answered many times.

I did see something about the keyboard, but not about the maps or deleting
apps that are considered blot, or that you don't use.

For use a non-stock keyboard on TNT/TNT lite, you have to do more than just installing the APK.
Search in the themes area for 'keyboard' or 'alternate keyboard', and you'll find several threads about doing that. You're going to need root for this (since you asked before ).
I'm not sure about removing apps.

I found the threads, but I do not understand what I need to use to move the keyboard apps or even how to....

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10567745&postcount=2
This is actually a post of Jim's in another thread. These are the instructions I followed and it worked great for me. (I need to thank-button him for that.)
I like Swiftkey for my phone, but for the tablet, I'm really liking Thumb Keyboard, so maybe check that out.
Two things...first, a real effort with search would have turned up your answer for you...second, "Two questions" is not a very good title for your thread--not descriptive at all. A lousy title is really going to cut down on the number of people who are going to read a post...that's why you will go a long time before getting a decent response.
I don't know about the extra apps. I wouldn't go ripping stuff out without a firm understanding about how different apps--especially system apps--relate to the running of the OS. I can't guide you on that except to say that there's plenty of room on the gTab. That little extra space isn't worth the risk of borking your tablet, in my opinion.

Think you're in the wrong forum. This one is for Viewsonic G tablet ..
Jim

sorry
ok i am new to this sorry about that

This 1.2-based release is probably the most important change to the GTablet

Not for the reasons you think, though. For users, it may not seem to be a big change. But for devs/modders here it is a MAJOR change. It is going to create a lot of problems and modders here will need to make some decisions, quickly.
I am not permitted to tell you my own plans, other than this:
1- TNT Lite is going to be retired and will not developed anymore. This is true EVERYWHERE, not just on XDA.
2- TwoTapsX is replacing TNT Lite as my active "mostly stock" ROM, after this weekend. I have been waiting for a month to make this decision, and now I finally can. I will NOT be hosting TwoTapsX here, other than a link (if permitted) - it was based on TNT Lite 5 and that mod was not welcomed here as it was felt to be "too risky". No matter what is being said, the fact of the matter is that TNT Lite 5 / TTx was ultimately pulled due to pressure from power users and one moderator here, because of soft-brickage. That it the truth. And then I left it down until VS showed us what path they would be taking. These same soft-bricks will now occur for 4349 users, which is why I have asked people to tread very carefully.
3- gADAM is going to be retired, as well (EVERYWHERE, not just here on XDA). I will re-do it as a "1.2" based mod, if I can, with a new name.
So, my "1.1" based mods aren't moving, they are actually being retired everywhere. Moderators, please make a note of this. I will be updating this information everywhere, today. That's the decision I've made as Viewsonic has shown us where they are headed and I will follow that path.

Hey Roebeet
Are you going to be working on a procedure for the folks that have tntlite 4.40 (me) to upgrade to TNTLite 5.0 now that the newer bootloader is out. I know that you will be doing this on a different site. Just now sure if this was coming anytime in the near future..
Also do you think it is still a big high risk to go with the TNTlite 5.0 or the risk has reduced dramatically.
thanks for all your help again.

SO, I got my 2nd gtab yesterday and updated to 3588 and then 4349. Are you saying I will have issues going to TwoTapsX when it is ready?

If you use stock recovery...
I think if you run fixrecovery.sh you get the stock boot loader and posts to other threads say that it will update to the new Viewsonic release. I'd expect that means you can also use it to upgrade to a new version of TwoTapsX from Roebeet.
BTW, thanks Roebeet for all your efforts. I use TNTL and love it and think TwoTapsX was fine for people who paid attention.

I'm going to be spending most of my day today doing my day job, and also testing scenarios to make sure gADAM 1.3.0+ and TNT Lite 4.3.0+ users have an upgrade path. I had started planning this last month because of UAT 3991, so I put in failsafes in both of those mods to reduce the risk. I just need to fully test all that out.
Rule of thumb if you are a 1.1-ROM user: As long as you use standard 3588 recovery, the risk is much lower. For mods I don't support, I built out the 3588 Recovery Pack specifically to prepare users for this jump. That's the reason why that pack exists: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005080

It should be a safe upgrade. I'd have a build for you today, but it's just a question of time - I want to test more scenarios first before I start building out 1.2-based mods. TwoTapsX will not be hosted here, as it was not welcome here. It will be hosted elsewhere and I will link to it, if I'm permitted to.
I wrote this elsewhere, but think of "1.1" and "1.2" as two cliffs, separated by a rickety bridge (standard recovery). Once you are on one side or the other, the risk is low as long as you stay in the same development branch.

Ok, I've been reading these threads and am a little confused... should only users who have ROMs based off of (or utilizing - is that a better term?) VS's releases the ones who need to care about this update?
I am on Vegan-TAB 5.1.1 ... does this use the VS release in anyway? Or am I not affected at all, and can just keep my ROM the way it is and be on my merry way..?
Thanks!

I would recommend just using your ROM. The concern here is if you want to upgade to something else later. All the soft-brickage is happening if you flash your device to another ROM.

what are your thoughts on the locked bootloader roebeet?

What's different in the new bootloader apart from incompatibility with legacy boot images? Does it require different boot image format? Do we know how to build boot images compatible with new bootloader? If we don't - it's a dead end and we should better find a downgrade path.

Marshmallow - puzzled

I'm new to the forum.
Used the search function on marshmallow and android 6 but nothing that made sense came up.
I joined the forum as my wife's TF101 is sluggish. Android 4.03. Kernel 2.6.39.4 [email protected] #1 Build IML74K.US_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615
I came across:-
android-rom.com/upgrade-update-asus-transformer-tf101
I came here to check the 'bone fide' of this as it seems pretty advanced as most posts here are talking about Android 5.x
The site for the split ROM's wants tons of information, full addreess, DOB, email etc. which I don't give out.
So is this for real ?
If it is, is there a site where I can download the ROM without giving out info for surveys and products.
If this thread is deened to be inappropriate, please request to have it deleted and PM me the answer, although, I am sure other 'newbies' will come here looking for the same answer so it might be worth leaving so they can find the answers, official or otherwise.
Thanks for all the info and advice you are all provided. I have had a good, but short, read of quite a few threads.

Don't do it! Definitely fake.
If you are comfortable with the whole process of getting a custom ROM onto your device, go with KatKiss here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/eee-pad-transformer/development/rom-t2942560
The other option is to wait, as timduru, the expert behind KatKiss, is reportedly working on Marshmallow for our old TF101.
Welcome to the forums!

Go with Tim, abandon Data-Leecher

Spare your data and give a f*ck about that site. Go with Timdurus ROMs. The fastest was 4.4.4, I just switched to 6.0.1, from Lollipop 5.1.1 since Marshmallow is faster than the Lollipop version.
You find the latest Marshmallow ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/eee-pad-transformer/development/rom-t3318496. You should go with that one. I tested 'em all, and Timdurus ROMs are far out the best. That simple.
If you need any further help in considering, you might want to consider having a look here: http://meandmykatkiss.blogspot.de/. There will be a performance comparison on later. I haven't come to make the Bench-Screens on Marshmallow yet.
@moderation: I don't know why, but the TO 1st post seems "odd". I might at least remove the link. Anyway, if it is real:
Cheers

Anyway, I tried searching again a couple of days ago, and found out about rooting etc. and KatKiss 6.0.1.
