I have had my Viewsonic GTab for about 4 days now, and have probably wiped and reinstalled a half dozen mods trying to get a fully functioning Android Market. The closest I have come has been able to come only has gotten me the Market icon. But it opens a white screen which rapidly closes itself. I installed Cyanogenmod7 back to back with gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
After installing GApps the whole system becomes extremely buggy in general, including the home button not working. I am not concerned with that though.
I have tried many walk throughs but the vast majority of them are related to the less broken Market that you can at least semi-access.
I scoured through this and other sites looking for guidance before resorting to posting, so I hope I didn't overlook a thread that was related to this exact problem.
Regards,

Im having the exact same problem. Gmarket not force closing and homebutton not working within cyanogen
Anyone find the solution? I have had may Gtablet for months working great until yesterday. I am running CM7 daily release 5/24/11 and everything was working fine, added netflix mod to build.prop and ran it for a about a week no issues but now market opens then closes. Any help?

You have some incredible timing buddy. After weeks of my gtab just sitting in my bag, today I decided to pop Gingerbread on it w/ a fully operational Market and it's running smoother than I have ever seen it. But, I did run into a skirmish with Netflix (MOD 2) that semibricked it for a half hour. Wound up playing many back to back games of beat the clock as it would reboot after making it to the home screen for a few seconds before I was able to make it to the app manager fast enough to uninstall it. I know there were probably simpler ways to go about it, but I'm running on only a few hours of sleep.

Hi,
I had tried the 'new' market awhile ago, when I was running 3389, but there were UI problems, with the buttons and with the stars, so I went back to the old Vending.apk. But w the old apk, I had annoying FCs.
Anyway, I upgraded to 3452 about a week ago, and kept getting the FCs, si I installed the new apk again.
Well, I just noticed that with the new market/Vending.apk, the buttons are now OK/no longer 'squished'. The stars are still truncated, but the buttons are good. Also the FCs seem to be mostly gone.
Just an FYI...

Strange? I am running 3389 along with the gapps enhancement update.zip, and I have zero issues at this point. Market works, etc and I might get a forced closed every few days or so with the browser (xscope), but that is it. This is one of the reasons I have not run the loopback and lag fixes, since I am a bit afraid to get my tablet into one of these states. I guess if it ain't broke, I am not going to break it.
For no reason, suddenly, the status bar FCs and then disappears. I cannot bring it back without a full restart. does any1 have an idea why? I'm running a relatively new gTab on CM7.0.3
Also, man, the boot up time is in minutes. Many games don't open or FC and everything is laggy. I really am sorta regretting getting this tablet. Any tips on speeding up would be greatly appreciated.
My GTab/CM7.03 setup does the same thing. At first everything was great but after several weeks it started doing just as you describe with the exception that if I don't reboot eventually the status bar comes back. I have yet to figure out what is causing it. I have been contemplating trying some honeycomb just to see if I can stay with one of those, if not, I may revert to a froyo version to see what the limitations are with that. I do know on my cell froyo seems faster with less slowdowns that the gingerbread though I have stayed with gingerbread there.

I have had ARHD 3.6 for a few weeks now. I did a complete factory reset before switching to it.. ARHD is a great rom, and thanks and kudos to all the people who have helped bring it to fruition.
But, here's the issue: For at least a week now, my tablet is running terribly. Constantly lagging or 5-10 seconds any time I ever make a move- closing/opening an app, going into settings, even moving from one homescreen window to the next. And typically I'll have to restart it, after freezing completely, 1-2 times a day on average.
Also, nearly every web browser is constantly lagging, or even freezing or force closing, with chrome being almost unuseable. Almost every single time I open up gmail app, it will work for 10-15 seconds before the tablet just straight up freezes and I have to restart it.
I was using the stock ARHD kernel at first, but I switched over to Harmony kernel a few days ago... no improvement.
Are there any suggestions for how to improve this, or any suggestions for a different rom to switch to?
I have a lot of free space on my tablet, I don't have many apps running in the background, and i've already tried wiping the cache in CW Recovery.This is seriously driving me crazy.
Thanks much for the help! And thanks to those who work on all of these roms.

I have had similar issues with my Transformer in the past. Then, I discovered the hard way (after deleting everything... I mean everything) that going back to stock, rooting again, and then flashing Team EOS that my Transformer became better than new. You may not want to go back to stock again, which is ok, so I would recommend the usual wipes and then flash Team EOS ROM and the Kat Kernel. I have found that Apex, Nova, or even Next Launcher to make a difference as well.
just a question about your latency: do you have it with power cable connected only or every times ?

I agree with the suggestion for Team EOS 4, I feel like my tab performs better than when I bought it two years ago.
Hi, CM 10.1. Out of the blue a lot of my apps seem to be crashing at random. this inckudes the stock browser packed into CM, Trebuchet, reddit and pretty much anything it seems. My phone has been 100% solid until recently with these crashes.
What usually happens is, i will notice black "slits" flash on the left and right corners/sides of my screen, about 1/2 my screen in total between the two slits, then my phone will freeze. It doesn't seem to want to knock out of this state unless I tilt my phone back to portrait (I'm always using it in landscape). None of the hardware buttons work during this, nor the lock button. Anyone have a clue as to what's up with this? I feel like something is wrong with the GPU. I haven't installed anything new lately other than game emulators; however it's not happening only when they are running.
Another thing to add, is that once it decides to be fixed, if I continue playing on say an emulator it will freeze again shortly after.
Fix permissions?
If that doesn't work, try un installing the emulators

Tried it. Actually installed a different kernel and updated the firmware as well. Still happened
For the past few months now my wife's Tab 2 has been misbehaving, it is consistently crashing with certain apps (mainstream ones, not random junk) most noticeably the stock browser (making that unusable) - the browser starts and displays the menu and tab bar, but does not display any webpage or url and then will crash within 5 seconds without doing anything, thus returning to the home screen. Similar behaviour is seen when using the Google search widget, I type in a word, press the magnifying glass to search it pauses a long time then closes and goes back to the home screen.
Lots of apps work absolutely fine but about 30% don't, and it is pretty consistent if the work they always work, if they don't work they usually crash at the same point. I did wonder if it was a certain function or driver that triggers the crash or possibly more likely there is a hardware failure.
The tablet is completely stock and up to date. I have tried doing a factory reset and restored everything, that didn't work. I tried a factory reset and restored nothing (setting up no accounts not even a Google one and installed nothing) but still I get the same behaviour. I have tried wiping the cache partition as recommended on many websites (http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-8015). I have also tried running the Internet in Safe Mode, all with the same result of the app closing and going back to the home screen.
Does anyone have any suggestions or even something different to try?
(Ideally I didn't want to root it or use a custom ROM, but I may have to try this if nothing else can be suggested, I have my doubts whether this would fix it.)
I reported this issue to Samsung 21 days out of warranty and they want me to send it to the repair centre to get a quote whilst re-iterating that it was out of warranty.
I can't remember how or where from but I followed some instructions to log what was happening, please find that attached. A quick search for "died" will show where the issue occurs.
Thanks for reading, I hope someone can help as my wife has all but given up on using the tablet.
Thanks
Craig

Anyone know if this is likely to be a hardware issue?
I'm currently charging it up ready to flash with CM12.1, always wanted to try it and it can't do much harm now and may even fix it!
Thanks for looking anyway.
Here's a tip, go with CM11 snapshot, cm12 is buggy and when you least expect it you get stuck with a bootloop. And drop the native browser and use Chrome.
This tab 2 isn't up to cm12, I was running CM11 for over a year with no issues whatsoever and speed and processor speed equal to my son's Nexus 10.
I t tried CM12 and after 2 weeks it went haywire, I'm not a flashaholic, I use my tab for Internet browsing, youtube and play one game Plants vs Zombies.
I get great battery life and everything works the way it's supposed to.
