Need clarifications on Market install procedure:
1. Calls for using "AndRootFile." I go to site to DL and it asks what phone to get right apk. Got no stinkin' phone. What do I put in? Or where can I get the apk for G-Tablet?
2. Procedure call for mounting R/W and making sure to make R/O when finished. How?
3. Guide for ADB setup at the end. Does that have to be done manually or do the files above take care of the changes? Or does the DL usb file replace the stock file?
4. i have had Gmail for a long time. Is anything other than a Gmail signon needed to set up market and the other apps?
Thanks for any help.

I was hoping a couple of quick answers would save me some time and uncertainty or maybe a mistake.
Anyone help?

1. There won't be a version of androot specifically for the G tab. Just find an androot apk and install it.
2. Refers to read/write, and read only. Once androot is installed it will have a selection allowing for you to be a Superuser, and to set r/w, or ro.
3. ADB is setup manually. It is run from a command line. The USB driver gets installed by hooking up your G tab by usb, don't mount it from the G tab though. Then run the driver program in windows to install the driver.
4. Yes, once it is all installed your Gmail login will do it all. There is a market fix that will need to be done also as the market will be really incomplete. The fix is easy...
5. I know you didn't have a 5, and you will think I am beating a dead horse. If you were to just install TnTLite2.2 all the work is done, your G tab will scream, and you will be done...
Thanks for the quick clarifications. Now a comment for your (5) comment.
I have thought of going ahead and flashing -- and yes I know that solves some problems. But aside from being conservative hardware wise:
1. My biggest objection to flashing is that there is no real way back to stock. Vanilla is not factory if I understand right. And I'm not sure cwm lets you make a restorable factory image. If I knew I could restore a factory image, it would make playing a little easier for me.
2. I'm not new to computers or OSes, but I am new to Android. There is a certain learning advantage in doing the various procedures -- the negative being that that makes me have to ask people like you for the little details I need.
3. Screaming is relative. Compared to my PDA and my netbook, my G already screams. And none of them scream compared to my gaming machine which is probably in the top 10 per cent speed-wise. So screaming would only make a little difference for me.
4. And then there the projected Dec. 19 update. I realize that VS has missed the boat several times in all of this, but it would be tooooooooo sweet if they incorporated a lot of the fixes and ideas voiced here into the update and make a stock machine even better.
5. Since you quit at five I will too. I really would like to have a $279 G-Tablet to play with, but I like in the country and even the nearby large city doesn't have either enough Sears or tech enthusiasts for me to get that lucky. If I had a second one, I could play a little more since I wouldn't necessary have to keep it working so I could use it.
Anyhow, thanks again for the clarifications and your comments. There is no dead anything around here, BTW!!!

Well I do understand why you want to do things the way you do. And just in case you may have not seen it. You can go all the way back to original by using NVFlash and the original images made way back a whole month ago. (Seems longer than that). I have done it a couple times while messing around with things that didn't work. Here is a little something I wrote up about how to do it..
http://forum.tegratab.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8
I didn't know what to think when I read your #2 comment. I am not an expert by any means but is it really that bad to have to ask?
"2. I'm not new to computers or OSes, but I am new to Android. There is a certain learning advantage in doing the various procedures -- the negative being that that makes me have to ask people like you for the little details I need."
Anyway, hope it helped..
Number two is nothing except that I am pretty independent and usually I am the one doing the helping -- and I just dislike bothering other people for basic info.
One of my dislikes about the G-Tablet and Android is that there are not many really good "user" books available. Lots of Android programming books, but none that just tell how it works and what to do for common tasks, etc. And what can I say about the G-Tablet manual. It does a credible job of describing the hardware, but I wish they had a few chapters on basic operation.
Well, I guess some of this is just griping so I'll shut up.
Rev
P. S. -- Is there any particular version of "AndRootFile" that will work better than the others?

I think androot is the same. The supported list is likely just stuff they have tested it with. I usually use Root Explorer myself. Androot is free, Root Explorer costs a couple dollars but is easier to use, and more capable. I also use a file manager named Es File Explorer. It is free in the market and once you get the hang of how it works it can be used on the lan to move stuff between your pc and tablet, extract zip files, etc.
I don't know if there will ever be a good manual for Android. From what I can tell it is kind of a free for all out there. Does not seem there are very many real solid standards but there sure are a lot of variations.
I think most of the hardware for sale now is not really made by any of the companies with there name on it. The G tablet is sold by 3-4 different companies, just named differently. Seems they are at the mercy, and so are we of how well they can communicate what they want fixed to a company in another country. I wish there was a company that built a tablet in house that was open with the customers. Would sure make bug fixes, and feature changes easier. As it stands, they are happy to sell whatever they get.
Everyone.
You can close this thread as far as I am concerned. I worked with adapting a stock machine until I simply got tired of it. I have converted to TnT 2.20 at this time and am pleased so far. I will write more about the experience when I have time.

Hey guys , i took the plunge and bought a WIFI only Xoom a little under a week ago and so far i really like it . though i did question the purchase after seeing the lack of apps in the market that scale to the xoom's 10 inch screen .
I have been reading around the forum and trying to decide if i want to unlock and root my xoom .
I love flashing kernels and such to my HTC Desire but I was wanting some input as to whats really out there for the xoom and is it worth doing .
I think the xoom is rather speedy as it is stock , so is the tiamat kernel really worth doing ?
also , reading around the net i see that the Google Movies addon (when it comes to wifi only xooms) will not work with rooted devices .
this is a big negative to me and the family as we justified the purchase of the xoom on a lot of features including the movies in the android market .
so , please chime in if you dont mind and let me know what you think about the above .
At the moment the main kernel available is Tiamat's, or some other variations on more or less his work. These are great kernels, but are mainly useful for overclocking. If you do not intend to do a lot of intensive gaming and are happy with your current speed on the Xoom, then overclocking really isn't a big need for you.
Considering your situation, if I were you I would leave my Xoom as it is, unrooted for now. That way you can get the Google Movies when they arrive as you stated that was a very important feature for you. If after a while you decide you are not getting as much value out of that feature as you expected, or if Google changes its policy, there will always be time to root your device later. Also by that time there may be more kernel options or Ice Cream Sandwich hacks to flash.
You are not closing any doors by not rooting/flashing right out of the box. I just can't see any compelling reason for you to root at this point....and a couple good reasons why you shouldn't for now. The Xoom is a great device and has more then enough to hold your attention without flashing.
I haven't rooted my Xoom, nor have I rented out any flix. The tiamat kernel (from my understanding) enables SD card and allows you to overclock.
I don't ever 'rent' any content, and I'm willing to wait for an update that will enable the SD card. You can watch your own movies just fine on the Xoom, and watch TV shows from the network television sites.
Android Market tablet apps are still too few, but that should change quickly this summer as many more Honeycomb tablets are released (of course, we thought that would have happened already with the release of the Acer and Asus tablets).
That was my main thing the sdcard not working and is what keeps me on the fence about xoom or galaxy tab 10.1. So does rooting it get the sdcard working fully with little to no bugs? Cause that may help me decide

Once I rooted and flashed the Tiamat kernel I have had no problems at all with the external SD card.

As long as you are willing to take responsibility for your actions if your brick or otherwise roast your device I dont' care what you do with it. If I may rant for 5 seconds I'm becomming increasingly irritated with people who are coming in here... breaking their Xoom's and then crying for advice and the advice being given is "take it back to the store and swap it out". No, that's called theft.
I think rooting is probably 100x safer than overclocking though which is where most of these people seem to get in trouble.
Other than that, welcome to the Xoom and I hope you enjoy it. I really love mine and could probably go on for half an hour about what I use it for.
Here is a quick and dirty list of apps that I find myself using daily:
- Pulse
- Paradise Island (lol)
- PocketCloud (paid ver)
Entertainment I find myself dabbling with almost daily:
- Pinball HD
- Riptide GP (both paid, very fun)
- Splashtop (for remote WoW, lol... also paid)
Other stuff I use daily but isnt downloaded apps include the browser obviously, I also use Firefox to access intranet sites (like sbs2003/sbs2008). I use the heck out the mail client. I also switch back and forth between the facebook app and using the page in the browser.
There are probably more tablet oriented apps than you think by now, as I find that new ones are coming out every day and some of them are really good.
If there's anything particular you think you'd like to know about just ask

No it doesnt. The possibility of data corruption exists. ASUS and Acer have implimented Kernel hacks to enable SD support. My personal vote is to wait for Google to properly impliment SD support and be satisfied with the more than ample 32GB of on board storage.

About the availability of apps with coinciding tablet release.... some developers just aren't in a position to go out and buy tablets I guess which is why I'm very happy to see Google give 5000 units away at their I/O even if someone of them went to dip**** bloggers.
What about that tiny little charging plug was looking at that and looks to be easily broken. Has anyone had a problem with it?

Just got my Transformer from Fry's yesterday. I've charged it, downloaded some apps and played around with it. However, I noticed I don't seem to have the most current build according to the XDA change log. Mine is showing up as:
8.2.3.9-20110423
I tried doing a System Update in the About Tablet section of the settings but it says there is no update for my device. I didn't receive any notification to download any sort of update either. How do I manually update?
Curious, did you buy it as open box?
just go to Asus website under support for the tf and download the newer firmware and the SOP document which has the instructions its really easy you need a micro SD card.
No, it was brand new, unopened. I was able to do the manual download after checking out the change log thread. Seems to be working fine.
Very impressed by the Transformer so far. Coming from the original iPad, I'm amazed by the speed both in transitioning to different apps and the web as well. For some reason, the iPad screen seems a little smoother. Is that because of the Gorilla glass on the Transformer?
I downloaded a couple of apps that weren't specifically tablet optimized, specifically Battleheart. Looks absolutely gorgeous; I was afraid of pixilization but it looks exactly the same as Battleheart on my Motorola Droid, just bigger and it runs much, much faster.

Actually, I didn't have a micro SD card handy. All I did was plug it via USB to my computer (Windows 7) and simply dumped the file I downloaded in there, not to a specific folder since I didn't know where it should go. As soon as I unplugged, there was a notification saying an update was found so I guess it worked that way too.
I have a transformer with a failed display (it still runs, but I can't access anything). Per ASUS' warranty instructions, HH Gregg will swap it for a new unit within 12 months. Based upon the posts I've read about the regularity with which these things crap the bed, I wish I could swap it for a different MFR..
Anyways, had a few questions:
Mine is about 40 days old, any chance the stock is better at this point?
I have a ton of personal data on there, any way to get it wiped without the ability to see the screen or have inputs? I have lastpass on it and multiple websites with my passwords cached, and the thing is synced with my gmail. I'd hate to have to reset everything.
Seems like all the tablets are currently the same exact HW. Any reasons for me to try and sell the new on on CL and get something else?
I had been fairly impressed with the thing before it crapped out, and then getting on here and reading the tons of problems people have had, I'm weary to just get the same thing again. I could always hold on to it, and return it later when there's a better tablet out there I guess.

1) What's your build number? (first 3 letters/number of your serial). Mine is B6O and its noticeably better than the B3O and B4O models I've had. Here's a good thread with real examples of build quality between the different batches.
2) Edit: didn't thoroughly read the question. Someone on here might have a solution via NV Flash? I'd recommend looking through the Dev thread. I think that would be your only method.
3) In my personal opinion, no. There are no other tablets out there that have the mixture of performance, design, and screen quality that can compare to the TF. That said, some people have had issues with all three of those and its been noticed, not only on the TF, but some other Honeycomb tablets like the Galaxy Tab.
Definitely take the opportunity to exchange it.
Correct me of i'm wrong but you can wipe by pressing both the power button and volume down for about 15ses. After that press volume up once and that's it

Oh, duh! Good point Yes you can do this method (assuming your device is not rooted with CWM). The big issue you run into though is you have no idea if it started and if it finished and no way to check. I guess the one way you could confirm that it worked is to wait a while and assume it restarted and try to unlock the device by guessing where the lock normally is. If the lock sound is enabled by default then you should hear it. Hopefully someone on here can confirm whether or not it is on by default.

I noticed a few of our local HHGregg have the latest B60 series transformers. I would always go for the latest series, but I am not yet aware of any improvements in the B60 transformer (dock is another story).
HHGregg also has discounts on transformer stuff. I got my new B60 dock for $143 USD.
If your device IS rooted, you can wipe with ADB by issuing this command

Damn.. I already have a B5O.. this does not bode well.
Let's try to keep all Q&A's for this tablet in one thread for now. Wonder if I should drop tips here too?
Autocreates junk files
ONE folder gets filled with junk files which renders the entire tablet almost unusable. I can't even delete the files.
All I can do is to shut down the tablet, connect the SD to a pc and backup all files, EXCEPT the backup folder as it's corrupted.
My tablet is running on Android 4.1.x (it DOES say "x" in the phone info) stock rom with root access.
It's ONLY folders called something with "Backup", like "Backups" and "TitaniumBackup" that have been affected so far.
It's also only the folder with that name on my EXTERNAL SD that's affected.
Several virus scans have been performed which came up clean.
I even wiped the entire unit including System/data/cache, also to no avail.
This issue happens MORE than once per day. The tablet gets very sluggish, and the files are there.
I found out that when I did NOT have a folder with "backup" in it, then it runs for days with no issues.
Note that I also have a phone (LG Optimus 2X) which have NO problems. The phone uses a rooted Android 4.2.2 custom rom.
I attached a dual screenshot showing a clean folder and one full of junk. Note dates for creation.
Anyone have any ideas as to what causes it?
Further testing shows that other folders are ALSO affected, but ONLY folders containing Titanium Backup Pro backup files.
Even more testing shows that even if I try to use a sub-sub folder, then it still happens.
I even tried using a folder name containing spaces and danish national letters:
"/mnt/external_sd/Titanium/Sikkerhedskopier/Håber at denne mappe virker/"
Still get the junk files, as seen on the screenshot.
Note the reported size and date of the files.
Dates seem very random, and although all file managers shows the SDCard is almost empty,
then the files put together adds up to much more than the 16GB the card is in size. So something is NOT right.
I have also noted that I can delete SOME of them with Root Explorer, but as soon as I do a refresh then new files are already made.
Logcat only shows files deleted, but not added.
I could REALLY use some help with this.
FURTHER testing shows the files are ONLY created when Titanium Backup Pro is set to do regular backups, so I am beginning to suspect it's a combination of my tablet AND Titanium that is the cause.
I have noticed my tablet kills the menu at what to ME is random intervals.
It doesn't matter if I even USE the tablet, just as long as it's on.
Anyone have an idea what might be the cause and maybe how to fix it?
I have attached an alogcat file, from a point where it happened.
I WANTED to attach it, but it seems like I am not allowed... can't even use smilies????
Managed to attach the logcat that failed the other day.
Must admit that I an beginning to wonder if I just write for my self, or somebody is actually READING this?
OFFICIAL FIRMWARE PACKAGE FROM ODYS:

The manual is in german though.
If someone can/want to translate that to english for me then I'll add it to the package.
Looks like I am the only one in the world who bought this tablet

Odd thing is that when I don't set Titanium Backup schedule then I don't get junk files.
But the tablet still write protect the SD card at random intervals. Even when Titanium Backup isn't installed.

TIP!
How to add GPS functionality to the tablet using an Android phone:
1. Download "Bluetooth GPS" from Google Play to the tablet.
2. Download "GPS over BT" from Google Play to the phone.
3. Pair the two devices.
4. Start up the programs and connect from the tablet to the phone.
This has been tested with a 4.2.3 phone and a 4.1.x tablet.

Thanks for the quick reply, but I believe we are talking/looking at 2 different versions of the same thing though. Probably same hardware with just a little bit different versions of firmware/software. Odys/Xelio. I don't have mine in hand yet, should have sometime next week and will defiantly let you know how it goes when I get it, still learning the Android OS, have had a Nexus 7 for a little over a year now, and a HTC Evo 4G LTE for some months now, so this tablet was purchased just for the 10" screen for reading and have sold my Nexus waiting for the 7-2 (STILL)..
I had links to both, but still can't post URL's yet, sorry
Eh what were you thinking about then, when talking about Google Play Store?
I want to help when I can

Well, I got it yesterday sideloaded the Play Store and several other apps & apk's with no issues, it seems to be a very light a sleek little tablet with no bloatware at all, I really want to like this tablet but the LCD screen is just awful. I really wish I could adjust contrast or something more then just brightness, the glossy face on it and the res just make it really hard to read or look at any sort of pictures, to just read text isn't bad but with pics it just has such a glare and brightness it's just weird to explain. I had already ordered some generic 10.1" tablet screen protectors and they should be here in a few days, so I am really hoping that they are a little bit matte and it'll help or fix the glare issue as I really want to like this tablet.
I know how you feel.
I generally have issues with the touch sensitivity, but have gotten used to it now.
I also noticed the reflection from the screen, which is pretty bad. Makes the tablet useless in sunlight. Hope you can give some good news on that when you get the cover.
It IS good as an ebook reader as long as your surroundings isn't too bright.
I also think it is quite powerful, considering the price.

I have been in contact with Odys support with a few questions.
They told me that they will NOT update the tablet. Not even to 4.2.2. They claim it requires too much of the hardware,
even though I told them I have a phone with only one fourth the memory of the tablet and a smaller CPU running 4.2.2 smoothly.
It seems like they have decided to solve all problems with a standard answer: reflash the stock firmware.
They even told me to do that AFTER I told them I already tried that.

I decided NOT to use my external SD card after the last two restores to factory default (including full flash of factory firmware).
First time after that restore, I installed Titanium Backup Pro, and set up a schedule as always.
This resulted in my INTERNAL SD card became read-only.
Only way to fix that was another firmware flash.
I then decided NOT to install Titanium Backup Pro again.
The tablet has been working perfectly ever since.

OFFICIAL FIRMWARE PACKAGE FROM ODYS:
The manual is in german though.
If someone can/want to translate that to english for me then I'll add it to the package.

First, thanks a lot for your monologue
And no, you're not the only person with this tablet. And this was the only place where I found firmware... thanks so much for uploading this, helped me a lot as I nearly bricked my tab while rooting it. Now after flashing it with the new FW, everything works smooth again And this without contacting Odys, and late on a saturday night, perfect, made my day!
Btw., I have the same issue with the huge Titanium Backup folder... :/
Now that I know that I am not alone, then I have this to say:
You are all welcome to post your experiences with this tablet (both good and bad)
