Hopefully some of those people will be supports of the Dev's so they get more out of there hard work. If we all donated a few bucks every major release it can add up to a lot.
Not being rich, with my last few devices that is my policy (Example, donate with a 2.2 release is stable, then when a 2.3 is stable) or when major fixes are done.
One guy said something about "if we all donate a nickel" sorta broke my heart. I guess some people don't know all the hard work put into making things available to us "hackers".

New guy here... one of the wagon jumpers from woot. I'm already running 2.2 on my rooted evo w/ cm6 and snap 7.
Looking forward to learning about my new tablet and contributing to the community.

Grabbed one in December for a buddy, rooted, custom rommed it, and went on my merry way. Just picked up one for myself today from woot now that the price is a little more user friendly.
I've always appreciated the XDA Devs, and I'm sorry for the NoobStorm you're about to be blessed with!

Was on woot all day answering questions. Had good day playing with my toddler and scanning woot forums for questions. Good times, good times. A very cool and unexpected bolstering of the Gtab ranks. Welcome one and all :-D

i didnt get mine on woot, but I am a little jealous cause I just got my used GTab for 320 on eBay, they got a new one for 40 bucks less. Mine arrived yesterday, and I cant complain, looks almost new, but they got a great price for a new GTab.
Anyway, I thought I'd post some links to help them out, as i'm sure anyone who finds their way here is going to want to root and install a ROM, and I just did this last night.
First off, rooting. My tablet was already rooted, with an app called z4root. this link should help you out with that
How To – Root Your ViewSonic G-Tablet
installing clockworkmod/roms:
this was the best thread I found, it had the clockworkmod v08 files i needed at the bottom of the main post and had great instructions, they used tnt lite rom as their example.
Install ClockworkMod, a ROM, Flash Player, and the Market Fix
i went with the Vegan GingerEdition ROM and I didnt install the market the same way, but instead used a market update file for my rom, not sure if it works with other roms too. it installs with clockworkmod, just the way the rom, and most other updates are installed. I also installed flash 10.2 through the market, so you can probably skip the 10.1 version found in that thread
heres a real helpful video that pretty much walks you through the same steps found in that thread. there were a few differences though, the walkthrough recommends wiping after installing the rom, the video does it before. i did both. neither mentions the dalvik wipe, but you can find it in the advanced settings if you want to wipe it, as is recommended everywhere. heres the video, and check out his channel for a ton of gtab videos
Installing Clockworkmod and TnT Lite 4.20 on Viewsonic gTablet
hope this helps you guys out or at least saves you some time on looking for files or good walkthroughs. on a side note, my gingeredition rom got stuck at one of the startup screens on my first reboot. i rebooted back into clockwork and partitioned the drive (2048/0) as instructed in the walkthrough and its working just fine now
edit: heres another good walkthrough, have fun and try not to brick your gtabs!
Flashing the Viewsonic GTablet with VEGAn ROM and fixing the Market

Just put my nook color on ebay to grab one of these

The thing I love about this Tab - I can use different ROMs. I've played with TnT, gADAM, Vanilla and (last stop) VEGan. LOVE tinkering with my Tablet!

I bought one of the first ones from Sears back in November, paid $379 for it. Sears originally only had 2 per store.
I wanted soo bad to try and put Linux on this thing. But I was one of the few that NEVER had any problems with the Tap'nTap GUI, not even the original version. As they say: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". But after using Linux for about 8 years, Android was disappointing as an operating system.
I've been scanning the Sears Outlet web site daily for one in my area. That one I would use for my Linux experimentation. Since these are the same price as one at Sears Outlet, I ordered me a second one.
It seems that it will take up to two weeks to receive these. After that, let the experimentation begin!!

New User From Woot!
I am looking forward to modding my Gtab. I have been lurking around here reading up on the things I will need to know.
Being an IT pro for over 12 years, the thought of rooting/modding this thing is exciting. I have been modding PCs and their components for years. I am very comfortable with nvflash and have recovered many a device or part (like a GPU) from a bricked status. I am also good with cell phones and other mobile devices.
To any other new members that are joining: Please do not forget to donate to the devs. For the love of all that is holy, these people dedicate time and effort into something they do not get paid for. If you use something and like it, then say thank you by shooting them a donation. If it wasn't for these guys, we'd be stuck using the crappy stock OS on these things.
Anyways, just wanted to say hello and I look forward to unlocking the full potential of this device.

[Q] Flash Captivate back to stock

Does anybody know how to flash my captivate back to the original att stock rom? I installed that new froyo update but too much of the stuff i like is now missing. I would like to flash it back to the stock rom eclair and wait until the official release from ATT, besides it's really not much faster then the original stock rom anyways

missing stuff? Everything is there if you flashed the stock 2.2...
yes missing stuff
The android market doesn't recognize this build so a lot of the apps that i had before i downloaded the 1 step 2.2 is no longer available to be me on the market. Not to mention still no dial from bluetooth headset support. Also I can connect to the att update software server anymore. So when there is an official update from android and att ota, i won't be able to get it. From what im hearing the official release will have bluetooth support so that i can use voice activated dialing. I don't understand how any cell phone company can make a phone now these days with out that already cooked into there stock rom. Most of all i can't believe i bought this phone knowing it did have voice acivated dialing...luckly im still within my 30 day return policy. I will be taking it back to best buy and trading it for the iphone 4. Reception might not be that great but that can be fixed with a case. At least it has voice activated dialing which is essential today. Not too happy with the captivate...but thats what i get for venturing out to try something new i guess...lol!!! i have learned my lesson...stick to apple....lol

Use Odin one click, if you can't find it with that much information you shouldn't be on the internet, much less flashing your phone...and really this isn't development at all, this doesn't even belong in general anymore due to the number of times this has been answered in dev, general, and the individual threads of the developers making the ROMs.
Wow...your pretty rude, but i have come to expect that from xda...anyways i'll be returning this piece of junk to ATT today...i was told this morning they are well aware of the froyo beta file out there and are telling folks that it's not the final release. They did offer to take the phone back even though i already flashed it. So that's cool Steve Jobs here i come!!!! im gettting a real phone...an iphone

I don't recall anyone expecting rudeness here at XDA, everyone treats people with the level of respect they are due. If you come on here basically slapping devs, the android OS and Samsung in the face with your comments, you can't honestly expect the friendliest of replies. Good luck with your iPhone and its developmental limitations. Our forum here is to share knowledge and developments in each respective phone and OS field, not to just bad mouth a phone and OS because you decided not to properly research their capabilities. The search function serves its purpose well as do the plethora of FAQs around the forum.

Here's how i see it first of all you don't know Apple that well to advise that they have developmental limitations...obviously the stock price compared to google Android tells the story...enough said there. Number two I was just asking a general question and one your drones decided to insult me by calling me a "troll." I honestly don't see why you people get so upset at the mention of the iphone and Apple, who's on the defensive here? Im pretty sure Apple doesn't see android as a threat and im sure they are not on the defensive about the samsung captivate. At the end of the day...apple has been doing it a lot longer then Android and that's that. Most of the apps on the android market are junk because the market is not regulated like the App store at Apple so the so-cal developers can put anything on the android marke regardless to the app doing what it's suppose to do. Apple on the other won't allow developers to put apps in the App store unless it does what it suppose to do...is that what you meant by "develpmental limitations?" Because Apple won't allow you so-cal developers to pass off junk onto the App store like they do for android? At the end of the day Apple will continue to be the leader and Android will continue to try and keep up. Enjoy you Captivate, lets see how long your captivated by it.

Over the whine-boys in the forum!!!

This may be a BS thread, and may get close, deleted or cause me to get banned, but something has to be said.
THIS PHONE HAS BEEN OUT FOR 3 FRIGGIN WEEKS!!!!!!! GET OVER NOT HAVE A TON OF DEVELOPMENT OUT THE BOX!!!!!
Lets get real people. Phones like the G1, myTouch 3G and Nexus One did NOT have a ton of development from the get go. They took months before multiple ROM's, custom Launcher's, custom App's, themes and so on were available. If you were a late bloomer to any of the phones (3+ months after release) then you would not know this and you would not know that ROM development does NOT happen overnight. So STOP whining. Guys like G8gorilla, persiansown and teamsilence (to name a few) are NOT here for YOUR benefit. They develop ROM's, MOD's, and changes because it is what THEY want to do to THEIR phone. They decide to share it with you because that is the type of people they are. Sometimes, some of us, donate to them to thank them for their time, BUT THAT IS IS, ITS A DONATION FOR A THANKS, NOT PAYMENT.
If you do not like the Development we have in just 3 weeks of release on this phone, then BUY A FRIGGIN NEXUS!!!!! And quit whining. If you bought this phone based solely on the development capabilities, then friggin learn how to develop, stop putting it on other members and again, QUIT WHINING!!!!
SHEESH!!!

Thanks for saying what I was thinking!
I bought this phone for the hardware and how much my MyTouch3G lasted. I will be patient and wait for the development, everyone should as well. If your not gonna be patient go buy a subpar G2 or N1.

Hell yes, chill the f*ck out people.

Call it like it is...
Well said brother.
Just add my five cents)
This phone is not need to be in development. It always has all things. We got S-OFF and perma-root. We can delete crap stock apps, can modify system.
If will Android 2.3 released, we will get it, cause T-Mobile cares about customers last time (not all time, but release Android 2.2 for MT3G family - it's a great action)
What do you want whine-boys? SenseUI? MotoBlur? Samsung Home?

Just little "hear hear" from the perspective of a developer. Devs are not here as your servants. if you want something developed, do it yourself. People will help you out, if you ask for help, and give the info needed to answer it.
If you're here to hassle developers, and flame, don't do it here. Developers do this for fun, and are more than entitled to abandon the device and move to one where they're more appreciated.
So don't shoot yourselves in the feet here folks. look after your devs, and they'll look after you.

EDIT: 2-19-2011 I will be attempting to port this to Liberty 1.5... Will see how it goes
UPDATE: 12/24/2010 I have had one or two people request some update/files on this, so I have attached the framework and facebook .apk files. I started working on porting a Tron theme for the X, so since I didn't have a lot of feedback, I had sort temporarily given up on this theme.
See the bottom of this post for the files!
Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
UPDATE: 12/6/2010
Still working on updating this, I didn't have much time today =( Boot looped 2x today when trying to do more of the framework... Will give this another try tomorrow probably. Hope to have some more edits. Check back!
12/5/2010
So I'm working on porting over the black glass 24K theme I saw for the original droid using the ultimate droid rom/theme.
This will prob take me some time, as I'm brand new to the theme scene when it comes to creating my own. If you are interested let me know and I will post updates and post my work return I'm done.
Again, this may take some time as this is a just a hobby...
Thnx to.the orig creators of this! I need to find the names and update!
I take no credit for the originality of this theme, just wanted to try and make it available for the X.

The developer for this theme was a guy named Cuttalott, over on Droid Forums. He created this theme back in the Summer as a favor to myself and another member named StingRay. We both had fond memories of a similar theme done about a year ago for the Cyanogen rom by a guy named KrazyKrada (or something similar to that), who I contacted before Cuttalott released his take on the theme. KK indicated that he wasn't interested in moving to the froyo base for his theme, and gave his blessing to anyone who wished to do the gold & black theme.
Cuttalott released it and it was fairly popular for the froyo Droid 1 users. In late August, Cuttalott abruptly disappeared. I tried numerous times to contact him, as did StingRay, but neither of us had a home phone number for him. I tried contacting the administrators of Droid Forums, and they (who I presume had his home phone number or address) tried for several weeks. Cuttalott remains missing, and I personally fear the worst, because he was always such an attentive guy, who responded VERY quickly to any requests or reports of problems with his themes (he had several other themes, beside this one), and someone like that just doesn't decide abruptly "I've had enough of this, and I'm leaving now". He would have at least said good-bye to his friends. He disappeared without a trace, and no one over on DF has heard a word from him since. As I said earlier, I fear the worst, but there's no real way for me track him down.
In any event, Droid Forums essentially considers his work to be in the public domain, however a guy named xkape over there is doing his best to keep Cuttalott's work in the public eye, porting the various themes to new roms as they're released, and always crediting Cuttalott as the creator.
So now you know the history of this excellent theme and WHY you weren't able to get through to the developer - my friend Cuttalott.

The developer for this theme was a guy named Cuttalott, over on Droid Forums. He created this theme back in the Summer as a favor to myself and another member named StingRay. We both had fond memories of a similar theme done about a year ago for the Cyanogen rom by a guy named KrazyKrada (or something similar to that), who I contacted before Cuttalott released his take on the theme. KK indicated that he wasn't interested in moving to the froyo base for his theme, and gave his blessing to anyone who wished to do the gold & black theme.
Cuttalott released it and it was fairly popular for the froyo Droid 1 users. In late August, Cuttalott abruptly disappeared. I tried numerous times to contact him, as did StingRay, but neither of us had a home phone number for him. I tried contacting the administrators of Droid Forums, and they (who I presume had his home phone number or address) tried for several weeks. Cuttalott remains missing, and I personally fear the worst, because he was always such an attentive guy, who responded VERY quickly to any requests or reports of problems with his themes (he had several other themes, beside this one), and someone like that just doesn't decide abruptly "I've had enough of this, and I'm leaving now". He would have at least said good-bye to his friends. He disappeared without a trace, and no one over on DF has heard a word from him since. As I said earlier, I fear the worst, but there's no real way for me track him down.

Ultra, thanks for the info. I will see if I can find some time to work on this in the near future. TO all others who may watch/check this thread.
i'm die hard for android, but not the way some of the devs/themers here are. I kinda took a break from it because I have a lot going on outside of android (work, girlfriend, travel for work, etc). I will try and set some time aside to pick this back up. I will have to start over from scratch since I updated and was doing this on the 2.3.15 OTA.
What ROM do most people use? I will try to make it for something most people use like LIberty 1.5, but it may take some time, as I don't have as much free time as I would like to spend porting this, and am still learning to theme myself.
Wish me luck, and I will see what I can do in the near future =)
PS sorry for the delay on this.
Started trying to port this to Liberty 1.5 today, but got some other stuff I need to take care of. Will try to do some more work tonight and test it out. Please let me know if you are interested.
Thanks
Framework came out so so... Need to work on settings.apk and a few others. Will also need to make some xml edits... Will try some more later.
is this still coming to liberty 1.5 or no

Hopefully if I can get some more time. I have been REALLY busy with work, which is what pays the bills... so unfortunately I haven't had the time I want to do it.

Thats cool was just checking I think this theme would be a very good one especially since blue red and green are totally over done and this would add a knew look to things.
Hey sysadmin, if ya don't mind I will port this to apex 1.4.x, I found the other gold themes and will he adding touches of all them as well. I just wanted to let ya know its a great color combo. I am tired of ginger/honey themes. I've done orange for apex and ported nextheme to it as well but gold and black looks awesome.

Many Thanks To Roebeet

Like the dumb NOOB that i am i bricked my G-Tab less than 6 hours of owning it. And with the help of Roebeet I was able not only to un-brick but I rooted and installed TNT LITE and this thing is amazing. R.I.F (reading is fundamental) I learned the hard way ........TNT LITE 5.0 is evil stick with 4.0 series.
TNT lite is not evil. It needs to be taken seriously just like any rom. This isn't tea and crumpets with your grandma. It's bleading edge, break your sh!t if you don't read and follow instructions, alfa firmware.
Glad you got it fixed but it seems a lot of people are learning the hard way lately.
Id like to say thanks for all the great support he gives this community

100% agree. Without his write-ups, I would have bricked my tab in the first hour. Thanks for doing the awesome stuff that you do, and don't let the whiners get to ya.
Thanks Roebeet..I used tnt light 5.01 no problem....only changed roms because he declared 5.01 dead....I thank you for your contribution but anyone who bricks their device needs to blame themselves not 5.01 or Roebeet...by the way I have owned my gtab for less then a week
Thanks for all roebeet s work

I think if it wasn't for the development community here, viewsonic's tablet division would probably be filing for chapter 12 right about now.
I'd like to bump this to show how much he and fellow ROM/kernel builders mean to the community. Without your stuff we'd be bored and tablet-les.

Yes, thank you so much, Roebeet! I didn't brick my tablet, and it runs perfectly on VegaN-tab. Would never have been able to do this without all your help. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
and remember, he's got a "donate" button
Thanks Roebeet and XDA community, quite impressive!
Bought My Gtab Dec 28th, 2010. Immediately installed CW and then went thru almost all ROMS (TTlite, Cyanogen, Vegan). Liked Vegan. But, throughout I have been impressed how easy and doable (even for a novice) to do these flashes.
My power cord adapter internal plug died, sent to Viewsonic they returned it after 1 week. I had Vegan on there. But I asked them to flash back to Vanilla TNT and they did! Anyhoo, after trying to do videochat I realized Vanilla was udder junk.
And tried putting CW on again, it got corrupted. But then I saw the de-brick NVFLASH method, and now Vegan ginger is loading for the 1st time. Thanks for all your help, its truly impressive.
Much alohas

Since I am famous for telling touching stories, here is another one.
So, years ago when I lived in another city with my girl friend (yes, back when I had an honest to god real girl friend), one time I fell terribly ill. I couldn't stop coffing and was bed-bound for a week. My girl friend was very sweet and took care of me. For my coughing, she made this special tea for me. Being an asshole that I was, after I tried the tea I started telling her how it didn't help at all and all that crap.
The roms provided to us by the devs here are like the special tea that my ex-girl friend made for me. And all those who complain about the roms are like the old me who was ungrateful.
Amy, if by some remote possibility you're reading this I'm sorry.
For all those who complain because you bricked your tab by not following the instructions right, I highly suggest you sell your gtab and buy an ipad. Don't be an a-hole like I was.

Actually, if you tell him how much you donated, he'll give you back the money. I told him I donated 1,000 big ones and holy cow I just recieved 1,000 in my paypal account. It was in Somali Shilling, though.

[maybe a new rom?] WebOS 3.0 port?

I know i have did a little joke about the CDMA Hero and webOS but it was in fact harmless, and since i will be getting a hold of the 3.0 WebOS rom, I am going to work on "Porting" via emulation on the EVO 4G. (So no one can ban me, and everyone can use it, even without ROOT.)
If anyone wants to help, or has ideas, drop me a PM or even just reply on here.
I will be doing this LEGITIMATELY and LEGALLY of course, and also, i will be updating this thread almost everyday.. ALMOST everyday. NOT everyday.
Thank you in advance for any help.
im down to be a tester

I also don't think "coming soon" threads are allowed (see here). Hit the triangle in the top right of the OP's post and mod alert ask to stop this now before it's too late.
Seriously, a little joke? You think the few who got bricks were laughing?

Bro, you're gonna get nothing but bad graces.
Next rom you post better be attached with a video step by step of you flashing and booting it.
Oh, and make sure that cameras focused.

me to!!!!! i wanna test it!!!! I think the combo of evo size and webOS is a great idea. that was my second thought when i saw something some iphone dual boot android, not fully functional but it booted. and i figure it would be webOS 2.0 or later since it has the on screen keyboard.
if there is anything i can help with, I am at your service.
Damn.... Guess I wont be checking this thread anymore, LOL
And honestly speaking... If I want Web OS I'd buy a Palm phone...
Why would you even want webOS on your Evo? It seems to be just Sense, but more palm-y. If you're interested in this, just flash MikFroyo or something.

i think i flashed mikfroyo as one of my first roms, alooong time ago don't really recall, i miss webOS, and would like to see it on the evo, 9 hshalf of it is due to screen size and possible better performance on better hardware. but i am still happily waiting for the new hp phone.

I had the palm pre before I got the Hero and then the Evo... I only got the Palm because I switched from T-Mo and the G1 to Sprint and there were no Android choices on Sprint yet... The Palm Pre was a decent phone.. better than that iPhone I had way back when on AT&T.... but.. It doesnt hold a candle to where Android is at today.... WebOS has been stagnant compared to Android development and I don't expect that to change any time soon.
Ahhh I remember you I was following that thread man when I had my heroc shame on you for that. You made alot of people upset so your respect as a dev is nonexistent until you provide dude. You even went all out to photoshop pics smh. In blankstare news.....is it 4/1/11?

HA! Your right, I remember somebody found the same pic on google! I forgot about that, lmao. I agree with the second part of your post. I remember mrinehart or something close to that was the main Dev for that project. He went away for some break at school for 2 weeks. In the mean time this cat (OP) started saying he got it to boot and started posting files. The first brick was blamed on the flasher not following directions or something. Then it was he posted the wrong ROM files. Then he loads up more files, claiming these were the ones. By that the mods got wind and locked the thread down. Same should be done here before some n00b gets a brick from this clown!
Yea that was me that found the picture and duplicated it, don't forget 2 weeks later when he posted it again after that boot from sd card thing came out and nobody took him seriously

Good find! I do recall the dual boot script and him trying to re-release his bricks/files, lol. Kinda sad because he sent mrinehart into hiding. I ran into him on Android central not to long ago though. We were both working on building a AOSP for the Optimus S, didnt get to far. SD mounted, sound worked, then Beezy got the radio working, right after that Zefie released a CM7 rom
