(Q) trying to install vegan tab gingeredition experimental and gapps - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downloaded the files from the thread in the development forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951822. I tried doing the steps listed in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245 and could not get it to work. When I rebooted the Gtab, it would just hang at the Viewsonic bird screen for about 15-20 minutes. I tried a few times and the same thing happens each time. I then used the stock 3588.zip to go back to the stock rom and the Gtab booted fine. I have since followed the online video to install tnt lite 4.2 and I substituted in 4.4 but I was successful in making this work and the Gtab booted just fine into TNT lite 4.4. Can anyone explain to me why I am having problems with Vegan tab? Or at least maybe someone could walk me through the steps..
Thanks!

Yup same thing happened to me. Vegan 5.1x works and none of the gingerbread ones.
I repartitioned 2048/0
Reformat tool
reinstalled stock
Did above without reinstalling stock
My original tab works great for the gingerbread roms, while the woot batch does not. (have had 2 cross my desk so far, we bought a lot of them for work purposes)
It's not horrible because vegan 5.1.1 works and that is fine.
Asop (both variants) don't work
vegan gingerbread experimental doesn't work
CM7 RC 3 + RC4
they all hang during the viewsonic birds screen.
The only thing I have not tried, is not using the update method for installing CW .8 bekit, but trying the old nvflash method instead.
So I may break that out and give it a whirl in a bit... But this one has me baffled. Prolly need someone with higher android IQ

Thanks for the response. I talked with my brother who also bought from the woot sale just like myself and you and he successfully put the vegan gingeredition experimental on his. He was walking me through it the way he did it and it hung for me at the viewsonic screen but his works just fine... Kind of weird I think. Anyone have any options or instructions for us?

I just installed Vegan-Tab 5.1 beta with the supplement and it worked fine. I am up and running with zero problems. I am still stumped on why the Vegan Tab ginger edition experimental will not work. It just sits at the Viewsonic screen. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Well here is another one to add to the mystery.
Networking guy came in just now cause stock was FC on installation screen. So I used the sd card cw install.
Partitioned to get rid of FC
mounted as USB in CW
added rom + kernel + gapps
flashed all 3 of them
Bingo - tablet booted up...
now I am really scratching my head.
Tried gingerbread asop + gapps + pershot booted the first try.....
So 2 tablets no gingerbread love 3rd tablet installed perfectly the first time.

I got one of the woot batch and am running the vegan experimental without an issue.

Actually, one issue I've found is that once i activated airplane mode it greys out the option so you can't turn it off. I can go into settings and enable the wireless, but the airplane icon becomes a permanent fixture in the notification bar.

Im pretty sure its the bootloader at this point. Need to update to 3588 (first before putting on CW .8) I'm thinking that the gingerbread roms just don't run on 33xx though they work perfectly on the original bootloader.
Will see if I can find a volunteer today to test this on (been just pushing 5.1.1 since it worked on all the tablets).
I think Roebeet has a package that updates to 3588s bootloader so will give that a whirl today.

What kernel are you using?

I have had the same issue. Got my GTab from woot installed Vegan 5.1.1 and it is running great. I've tried just about every gingerbread rom and it always hangs up on the viewsonic screen.
I did find this post but haven't tried it yet. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015286&page=2

after much experimentation, It's the internal cw package. If you use the sd card method or use NV flash gingerbread installs just fine.
*shrug*
No I have no Idea why either....

I highly recommend calkulin's rom. Market comes fully fixed for you.

Does updating WebOS affect ability to install Android?

Forgive me if missed this, but I'm finally getting mine from HP tomorrow, and I think I'll hold off on CM until some of the major bugs are worked out, but I still want to play with WebOS.

You can still install the cyanogen mod alpha with the update, it doesn't change anything as far as that goes. If you have the alpha installed already, you'll have to rerun the command to install it again, but it still works with the update.
You will have to install only moboot not everything.
Update first and then install CM7. I did this and can confirm that it works.

+1 ... Just did a co-workers TouchPad today and CM7 installed smoothly.
Side note: 3.0.4 is in fact really "snappy", I like the updated camera app and no lag on the stock kernal.

[ROM][DEV][CM10][Port][Linaro] SGT7 Jelly Bean Rom 0.1

Hi, I just installed this ROM [ROM][DEV][CM10][Port][Linaro] SGT7 Jelly Bean Rom 0.1 on m Nook Tablet 16gb.
Everything works great, except videos in Netflix won't play. It does have the 3.0 kernel. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this work? Thanks.

That is one of the known issues. No fix at this time.
Sent from my Nook Tablet using xda premium
I loaded the o.2 updated version. Random reboot to black screen in about 5 minutes then went to a B&N screen where it was loading new software, but failed. Endless reboots to the same. I flashed over stock unrooted 1.4.2
If I restore a nandroid backup the NT boot to the restored version from CWM and thereafter back to the trying to installing new software
Did you wipe data/cache/factory reset in CWM? My Nook is truely broken (can't even load an sdcard; I think bootloader is broken)
Oh and BTW, random reboots are kernel related.
Before you go back to stock, please flash stock recovery.
It is stock recovery. Even the B&N Tom wouldn't boot. It did without the SD card installed. I moved all the zip files off the root directory and now it boots regardless of ROM.
I'm safely back to CM7 April 24th build. It has been flawless. Wifi comes back after sleep and everything I use is stable.
CWM on a SD saved may Bacon many times. I assume you have one. If that won't boot I don't know what to suggest. Is it broken enough to get a warranty replacement?

Whatever you do to your bootloader you always be able to boot from ext-sdcard.
So try another one and have ready a bootloader img to flash back to yours
Major problems with [ROM][DEV][CM10][Linaro] SGT7 Jelly Bean Rom 0.1
Hi, I was able to root my Nook and go into recovery by formatting the SD card to do it using these directions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583. I then installed SGT7 Jelly Bean Rom 0.1. The issue is that Recovery doesn't work in this ROM, and internal storage doesn't mount. So, I really want to upgrade to SGT7 Jelly Bean Rom 0.3, which will hopefully resolve these issues that I'm having*The issue is that there is only 62MB left on the SD card after I format it to be a Recovery card, even though its a 16gb card. So, I can't put the SGT7 Jelly Bean Rom 0.3 zip on the card. I can't flash from the internal drive, even though the zip file is on there, because it won't mount.
So, I'm really, really stuck with a Nook that halfway works. I have banged my head against this for hours and I have made no progress. Someone please point me in the right direction here. Thanks so much.
SGT7 Install
Downloading all necessary files to try SGT7. Anyone get it working and have some feedback? I hear it is the best CM10 mod right now.
SGT7 Install
I installed it a few days ago and it is working fine for me for the most part. It does go to black screen on occasion but it seems to be when I leave the WIFI on. Also, since I do use it primarily as a reader with Moon+ Reader I have noticed that the CM10 is not as smooth as CM7 when doing page turns for instance. There seems to be more stuttering with this version than the nice, smooth flow of CM7.
I like the look and extras that come with Jelly Bean though so will continue to use it for now and wait on update and keep trying.

[Q] Having Many Issues With my Atrix

I have a Motorola Atrix on Bell (Canada), and for the past few months it's been running perfectly on a ICS version of Paranoid Android with no issues. I recieved a 32gb SD card for xmas, and I was reinstalling the ROM to move it to internal storage so that I can use my SD Card for music. I decided that since I was reinstalling the ROM I may as well get a new one, so I got the Paranoid Android JB ROM. I installed it to internal storage, with the tweaked body option, and it worked fine. Then I used the option chooser and installed some gapps like the play store, maps, youtube, as well as nova launcher and adobe flash, then rebooted. I first noticed that the wi-fi isn't working. It gets stuck at 'turning on wifi'. Also, none of the gapps were installed, just the launcher. The main issue, is that every couple minutes the phone will shut off. It also takes much longer than usual at the M screen (30-60 sec). It seems to turn off whenever I press the power button to wake it, whenever I plug in or unplug the device, and occasionally just randomly when the device is in use.
The phone is semi-operational right now besides having no Play store and the very frequent shut offs. Any help would be appreciated. I've tried a few different JB ROMs and they all have the shutting off issue, but Paranoid Android seems to be the only one with the Options chooser not working correctly.
Flashed back to the CM7 ROM Neutrino 2.9 . Works perfectly. Still though, is there any reason the JB Roms won't work for me? I know I've tried one in the past and it worked fine, but didn't want to keep is since is was still in Alpha at the time.

All ICS/JB ROMs are in early beta still. They're stable, just lacking hardware acceleration.
Did you do proper wipes and format /system partition before installing? Did you re-downloading the ROM and installing again? Did you try CM10 build from EPinter's? Sounds like your using Aroma installer, try flashing normal zip files for gapps, never had issues.
A lot of people are running CM10 as daily without issues, so retrace your steps to see if you overlooked anything.

Having a lot of trouble with CM12

I am currently running CM11 and dealing with a lot of the problems that cm10 had. So tried CM12. Basically dead in the water. Never got past registration.
Very sluggish and the keyboard keeps disappearing. The installation of CM11 went pretty smoothly following the install instructions. Not so with CM12.
Maybe there is something I am missing. The instructions say that repartitioning is not necessary !?!??!
Anyway followed the instructions to the letter. Got the suggested recovery and flashed it just like on cm11. The correct gapps to use is always a crap shoot so I tried several. I even installed without gapps still had problems.
So any help here would be appreciated.
thanks
I have been testing CM12 for a few weeks and have a few of the same problems. It seemed like at first it was pretty snappy, but now it's sluggish, keyboard disappears constantly, and my biggest pet peeve is that quite a few of my apps are now unavailable for this device. They worked before, so it's a bug in CM or one of the newer Android versions. I'm just going back to an older ROM for now.
Hi cosmic_kid
I'm asking these same questions in the cm12 QA and dev pages and not getting anywhere. They all tell me to go read some more or stop being rude !?!??!?!
I am currently running cm11 and only have the usual problems just like cm10 had. i.e. battery, black out, losing wallpaper.
So I thought cm12 should be a piece of cake !!! NOT SO !!
There must be something different with the install that is screwing something up.
I tried the recommended eng recovery and the latest TWRP and CWM. Same results. After gapps is installed things go to heck.
I did try running cm12 before installing gapps and it ran smooth. After gapps sluggish and never got past registration. Keyboard never came up !?!?!?
I don't know what to do so I will download the latest nightly and try again.
I Feel Your Pain!
Guys, I know exactly how you feel. I merged the partitions according to the other posts, formatted cache and userdata to f2fs and tried all the nightlies that came out, but keyboard problems, superuser problems and setup crashes just made it impossible to get anything going on my trusty 8gb Nook (BNTV250A). The closest I got to getting anywhere with CM 12 on it was when I updated the CM 12 March 26th nightly on CM 11-M12 and added pa_gapps-modular-nano-5.0.1-20150315-signed. Play store worked, I was able to get into developer options and enable root access and it looked hopeful, but alas it was so slow and lagging that I have given up for now. I used repart.img to go back to stock, (touch pad didn't work on stock since I had upgraded to 10 touch!) booted off SD and installed CMW recovery to restore my CM 11 -M12 configuration. I'm staying in touch through all the threads and hopefully we will one day have a smooth CM12 on our beloved Nooks!
CM12 is now working very smoothly on my 16gb nook. I didn't have to repartition anything. I just about got rid of my 16gb nook because it's older and slower than the newer 8gb nook. Glad I didn't.
So until there is a "how to" thread on how to get it to work on the 8gb nooks I will be using the older one.
The devs said that they didn't have a 8gb model to test their nightlys on. I'm wondering if they test them at all ???
What did you do to get it to run smoothly? I have the 16GB and it slows down all the time with CM12. I read gapps causes a lot of head-aches so I've been tempted to run without it and just side-load all my apps... :/

pico gapps and Demetris' 16GB CM12 with the Tricker Mod stuff = faster than they day I bought it.
Now I just need 8GB working the same, since I have two of those!
