Has anyone else experience this with rooted G1 trying to play pac-man?

I have a rooted and unlocked g1 and pac-man does not show up for me on android market but I did find the apk on the net. However when I actually start a game the screen is constantly flashing, just wondering if this is because I have a rooted/unlocked g1 or if anyone else has experienced similar issues? Cheers

I get the flashing in the game, but it shows up in the market were iI downloaded it. I think it's because it's still only 1.1 sdk, once they update it to 1.5 it should be OK!

that's all you .. i would question the apk you are using .. if it's not on the market then don't use it .. i've had no problems with pac-man since fw1.0 and have upgraded to fw1.1 and still no problems .. so going to fw1.5 should have no affect .. root access does not hinder apps unless you are using ADP version which has some missing components from RC33

It's becuase pacman isn't fully compatible with the 1.5 builds yet. It flickers and the colors are off a bit. And by the way, pacman isn't downloadable in the u.s. on rooted phones right now even though it's free. We have to use an .apk.

Im running haykuro 1.5 Hr3 and see pac man in the market. If i remember reading correctly the market doesnt block apps on previous firmware versions, it does however hide apps built on a higher version. So a app build on 1.1 firmware is visible to phones running 1.5 firmware. But apps built on the 1.5 firmware is hidden on phones running 1.1

I don't think it shows up for me as my G1 is unlocked.

If you are using ADP without market fix you will not see pac-man in market.

yeh i experience the same problem on my rooted haykuro hr3 ADP rom, it only flashes in game play and it is very slow.

roote us phones
Not so fast guys I have a rooted phone and am in the us and have been able to download pacman through all ports. That seems to be a problem with your market app. I'm running jf 1.5 and it showed up fine.

OTA Update Today - Version 1.2-4349

Updating my friend's stock Tigerdirect G-Tab via OTA updater to what it says is:
Version 1.2-4349
This came up after the 3588 update when I opened the updater again.

So what is different?

The update notes are:
-Adobe Flash Support in the Browser
-Support for an external Docking station
-Support for USB keyboard and mouse
-Support Weather for international cities
-Support for Spanish and French languages
-Lock screen that optimizes power consumption when idle

Wondering if there's a clockworkmod style recovery in this like what was in the pulled 3991 update.
Volume up while powering on to check it.

interesting.
This is the first I've heard of this version. I wonder if it has all the changes from the previous (now pulled) version 3991

Anyone want to make a quick video of the new stock with the enhancements?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App

going back to stock to check this out

Everyone be VERY careful, please
I didn't get this earlier today - but it's showing up now on my 3588 stock device.
Let us test it first, as this is their first 1.2 release and we want to check that bootloader. Thanks!
I know what I'm doing, tonight.
Btw, the release notes:
- Flash
- Dock support
- USB KB AND mouse support
- Spanish / French language
- Lockscreen
This is the one we've been waiting for.

updated my gtablet:
very good lock screen
Native Adobe Flash player browser
added Spanish and French
Energy saving screen

I know what I'll be doing; patiently awaiting your verdict on this update. =]

Updating as we talk . let's see what it bring to us...

Important, please read
I just went back to 2967, and I'm only seeing 3588 as an update.
I think 3588 is a gateway ROM, which is what I suspected last month. If you update your stock device to 4349, please do NOT flash to any mods, after that (at least not yet). Please let us test this, first - give me about an hour to run a few scenarios.
I will explain the reasons for this, as I do my tests to confirm what's going on.
EDIT: 2967 stock to 4349 stock causes a soft-brick. I think we have the same bootloader issue. Still running tests.
Thanks!

Updateing now. Wonder how much this will be like two tap x?
roebeet: Love your work man.
This is my first post ever and I just wanted to say thanks to all the Dev's out there.
Made some spelling mistakes and couldn't edit this post for five min.

Thanks Roebeet!!! I feel like you made this happen.

hmm for some reason i can boot after i use nvflash to go to stock...its stuck on the tnt screen...any ideas how to get past that??? I am coming from the Vegan GB RC1 rom

Its not bad, my only issue at the moment is long holding on the desktop and trying to change the wallpaper gives me an error. The on screen keyboard is definitely faster though.

I never got much chance to play with the previous builds, so I can't give comparisons. I had an issue where everything came to a halt. I had to to a hard shutdown. When it rebooted, I had to reinstall everything I downloaded from the Amazon Appstore. Seems to be working fine now.

rbansal2,
It takes a long time to get past the Tnt screen. If being patient doesn't work, you will need to load or flash CWM and go in and do the repartition, wipe dalvic cache, fix permissions, wipe cache, wipe/reset factory data routine to clean the tablet up.
Then reflash stock again and see if you don't get a usable base to OTA up to 3588.
Rev
P. S. -- This was a quik note so if you don't remember, ask me.

Seems good to me! Of course I like the stock tnt setup
I didn't play with custom roms because they looked like my tab was a giant phone most even had a phone icon.

You'll probably need to repartition the sdcard. You can install clockworkmod using the microSD method or nvflash method and then use it to repartition to 2048 and 0. Remember that repartitioning will delete everything on the user partition (what's called "sdcard" in the rom). Back up your data before doing this.
I had this same problem a while ago after a nvflash and that's how I fixed it.

GTablet Experiences

I originally purchased a GTablet from the original Woot! sale based on reviews during that sale that this was a wonderful tablet once a new rom was installed. The first tablet I purchased as a gift for my wife. I received it on a Friday after I got off work. Within about an hour, I was up and running with TNT Lite, a fully functional app market and Adobe Flash Player.
I primarily followed this guide from these forums. I had zero problems and everything worked flawlessly following the guide.
I was so impressed with the tablet, when it came up on Woot! again, I decided to purchase another one. This tablet arrived quickly, and by all appearances was the same as the tablet for my wife. I checked the stock OS, installed the OTA update and verified I was on 1.1 3588. I proceeded to follow the guide again and ran into problems immediately with the app market.
I used the basic app market fix listed and no matter how many times I did it, I couldn't see the majority of apps. I then began looking around the forums and found this guide for the titanium backup method. I followed this exactly and still the market wouldn't work.
I found one more guide (can't find the link now) that instructed me to edit files on the tablet to known working configurations. I grabbed the files and they already had exactly what the guide was telling me to change to. So no luck there.
I then remembered reading that some Roms had a working app market out of the box. I figured I'd try VEGAn or Cyanogen Rom instead of TNT Lite to see if this fixed this problem. This is when I ran into another brick wall. I was completely unable to load these Roms on my tablet. After performing the install in ClockWork Mod and rebooting, the tablet would get the ViewSonic screen with Birds and never complete the boot. I left it on that screen for as long as an hour and still nothing worked.
I came back to the forums looking for more information. Buried deep in the VEGAn 7.0 thread I found a gem from someone who had a similar boot problem (they made no mention of market problems). This person said they were able to fix the boot problems by using NVFlash to restore the tablet to original settings and pointed towards this thread as a possible fix.
I followed the steps in there directly. I was hung up for about 20 minutes trying to figure out how to use NVFlash and ClockWork mod until it dawned on me that accessing for NVFlash was used with the Volume Minus button instead of the Volume Plus button. So if you are confused in that section, keep in mind they use different power up methods and don't conflict.
After using NVFlash and restoring back to the original settings I was able to get into the stock rom. I tried the OTA update immediately and it failed after the download. Restarting the tablet fixed the problem. After you are able to boot back into the stock rom, I recommend a restart just in case. Then do the OTA 1.1 3588 update.
I then followed the original guide again. This time, everything worked as expected. Using TNTLite and the Market Fix worked the first time. I formatted and installed VEGAn and it worked on the first time too.
I decided to make this post as a thank you to everyone out there who works on these ROMs and everyone who has posted fixes to their problems. Hopefully this will help anyone else that is having problems.
My wife and I absolutely love our tablets and this wouldn't be possible without the fine people here.
TLDR;
Market was broken and known Market Fix didn't work. Used NVFlash and it fixed it.
NVFlash uses Volume Minus not Volume Plus
Restart Stock OS after first boot before installing OTA update

Thanks for posting this. I plan on switching to vegan from tnt lite soon. This is good info to know ahead of time.

Thanks for the info from someone who is waiting to theirs in the mail.

Coby Kyros Tablet 7022 | 1125 | 1126 | 8127 Update ICS Android 4.0

It looks like Coby Germany has released an ICS update for the 7022 | 1125 | 1126 | 8127 Kyros tablets from Coby.
Video:
Apparently I can't post links yet, being new here so here is the youtube code (just do a google search for the following, it should be the first video link) :
rBWeo_rEdcU
Coby Germany Link:
Again, I can't post links so just go to the main cobygermany site, it should be on the front page.
Let me preface this post by stating that I'm a bit of an android newb, so take everything I say here for what that's worth.
The update requires a serial number for the device, mine did not work so I tried the serial number trick (stepping up from the one shown in the above video. The original in the video is 101110010351 if any one is interested.) It wouldn't install until I completed a factory reset in Android 2.3. but ICS is now installed on my Mid1126.
Ok, now for the nitty gritty, HDMI is not working, and WIF is a bit flakey. Also, I can't get the Market to install using this ( youtube s2oXEhqCgcU ) method at least. Also, none of the standard Google apps seem to work, Gmail, Google +, etc. Using any of these I get an error message "Unfortunately, Google Services Framework has stopped"
Anyways, I just thought I'd share this with you all. Looks like Coby has a way to go yet before this version is actually ready for prime time (at least on my mid1126).

Is there a way to revert the device to the stock GB?

i have the same Q.
but there is one more problem, a bigger one. after installing ICS onto Kyros MID1125 I lost the possibility for 3g, for whom I have the hardware for. so how could i fix that, any possibility's for a downgrade via flashing with ODIN?
EDIT: to be more specific there is no option for APN or any kind of mobile network settings, just WiFi .

I install on MPMAN 827. It work very good.
I can give you files for this, I flash with CWM recovery.
I rooted and install Google Play.

Still waiting for an update...
Looks like Coby is dragging it's ass on the promised update... ready next week three weeks ago... Yet I still maintain hope. The current ICS is useable, but just barely.
The Coby German site says -
Tablets with Android 2.3 are now updated with the yet ready patches already included. If you updated your tablet earlier with an update file not containing the patches, you can downgrade to Android 2.3 and update to Android 4.0.3 again. Please contact our support for a description of the procedure. Alternatively the patches will be generally available in a few days.

This is a really confusing block of text... does this mean that 2.3 fixes somehow magically carry over into an ICS upgrade!!?? Would downgrading to 2.3 again and then upgrading to ICS fix everything..??!!

2.3
I reinstall 2.3 again
I don't like ICS, on my tablet is working good
Rooted and with Google Play is Ok.
I waiting the update from Coby Germany.....

Coby Updates
Ok, looks like somewhat good news... this is a Youtube comment response from the dude from Hotodi.tv (from the original 4.3 upgrade video on the Cobygermany.de site) Note: It's a German machine translation, he's not retarded.
----------------------------------------------
"Hello. Yes, even if it is "unfortunately" not currently looks from the outside, it moves very much at the moment. THe test images look very good out there will not be long that they can be published FINALLY. Video playback is WORLDS better, HDMI works, memory cards and internal memory are displayed on the PC / Mac right wifi much better performance, better on Tablet already 4 days, no freeze ..."

So you flashed ICS update fom a zip via recovery, or did you follow the installation process from Coby Germany ?
And to go back to 2.3 have you just restored your nandroid backup or is it an other process ?
Thanks for your help.
EDIT @pixelpump : I can't find update page on coby's website anymore, where did you see this message ?
EDIT2 : no probs anymore, update page came back

ICS Update (v1.1.0025) works fine
I have updated my sons MID7022 like it descripted on the german coby website.
The new Android 4.0.3 version (v1.1.0025) works really fine.
After updating the tablet I rooted it to install the gapps. Now my son is happy to use the play store, gmail etc.

Exclamation on Reboot
Does anyone know how to overcome the problem of the update stalling on reboot with the exclamation mark? I had read that it might be because of low disk space on the download but I did a factory reset and came up with the same problem...

How did you achieve this?
I googled a lot, but didn't find a good "how-to" or I was unable to download the necessary CWM. Do I really need to root to install gapps?
Thanks for your help!

Helpful for me was these thread at Android Tablets. Maybe you can use these description, the long way.
I'm using CWRM4, with version 5 it will not good work as you can read her.
Without root you can't install the gapps. Try these description.

Thank you very much, I'll try that.

And? Have you succes?

Unfortunately no.
CWM wouldn't work, although I have some experience with Android rooting (HTC Sensation). So I decided to return the tablet.
This was my second and last try on a cheapo tablet (first one was a Odys Vision, whos build qualitity was poor, would be a really long list ). I'm going to wait for the Google Nexus or perhaps the Windows 8 Tablets (as replacement for my Laptop).
But again thanks for your effort!

Shield Tablet Vulkan FINAL Update

Hi everyone
I am using Shield Tablet LTE-US and have been on the Vulkan Preview version for months now. So far it was OK but it still has the occasional lags when I go online (after being offline for a long time)
Just received this update notification:
ST8 - US LTE - Vulkan Preview - 67.35 Final
The update description says File not Found"
I tried download it but I always end up having errors while doing so.
Wonder if others have tried it. Pls let us know what this is all about. Thanks
To ADMINS, if this is a misplaced or redundant thread, pls let me know so I can correct it. Thanks!

No idea m8t but a have a k1 and was on the preview for a month but k1 update has been out for some time my advice is to go onto Nvidia website and download the image that way assuming ur unlocked bootloader but they do give instructions on how to?

I've finally downloaded and installed it. It seems it only updated the security patch. Antutu initially went from 91k+ to 88k+...
Will check if what else changed.
Hope others can share their experience as well.
