I just bought a new gtablet thats running the stock 3588 software. All seems to be fine except when I surf the web. While doing so, most of the time the gtablet will switch back to the home screen resulting with me having to go back to the web again, it does the same thing using a different browser also.
I really don't want to try one of the different mods yet, but if that is what it takes, I might have to.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem.
Sounds like there could be some sort of app interaction/interference going on. You may have something running in the background that is doing it. Its a place to start. Have you installed flash?
May sound silly, but are you inadvertantly hitting the "Home" button while swiping?

Glad you said it, lol! Actually that was my first thought but didn't want so sound rude I remember getting used to the sensitivity of the buttons when I got my tab. That was the reason I ended up using button remapper and button saver. The button remapper let me map the soft buttons to be up, down, left, right. It helps a lot when surfing the net, I no longer have to zoom in to select a link. Button saver makes a small on-screen tab that when pressed brings up search, home, menu and back buttons on the screen. It works awesome and I have not accidentally hit the home button in the middle of doing anything since setting this up. This is also a great setup for night use.

This was happening to me too. I got my gtablet 2 weeks ago and got the update (it was unusable until the update) and it seemed a lot more stable. However, when I surfed the web after a while it dropped back to the home page. Ended up flashing to TNT 5 and its been totally stable ever since (I was nervous about doing it as I'm a noob at all this but it was painless if you follow instructions).
I was wondering if it had something to do with the content of the page (flash or something) but decided to just go with the much better ROM. Not looked back since.
It continues to do it even if I have it laying flat on a table and making sure that I don't hit any of the side buttons.
Yes, I do have "Flash" installed.
Probably the Flash 10.1 causing this... Get 10.2. If you don't have access to the android market you can also get it from freewarelovers

Hi,
Is this using the default browser? That (crashing to homescreen) was a fairly common problem, but I assumed that it might have been fixed by now. Anyway, if you are using the default browser, I suggest you try Xscope or Dolphin. I've been using the former since last Dec, and rarely see that crashing. You should be able to get them on market, or the Xscope dev has a download on his website. Been using both with Flash.
mine has been doing that with the 10.1 flash. Since I cant access android market, I cant download 10.2 straight to the tablet. The market keeps saying I dont have an android device linked to the account
using freewarelovers to DL 10.2. will see if this fixes it
works
If you can use other browsers on the stock firmware I highly suggest Opera Mobile. It has hardware acceleration so it scrolls and zooms smoother than the others, too. I'ts my favorite so far. Makes the web experience on the tab a lot better.
Well, I uninstalled Flash 10.1 and I think that it has fixed my browser problems. Thanks for all your help.

Awesome! If you still want flash just hop over to freewarelovers [dot] com, and flash 10.2 is right on the homepage. It's pretty flawlessly, especially compared to 10.1.
Hello. Excellent work you are doing here.
I received my Woot Viewsonic gtab yesterday and have been rooting and modding and doing a lot of side loading.
I didn't care all that much for the stock OS just as everyone else has said and I decided to go with TNT lite 4.3.
Everything works great. I didn't even have to patch MarketPlace.
I did notice that after the mod, my hard button HOME key no longer responds. The soft button key HOME works fine. If you are in a app that covers up the soft key, you cannot go straight to home. I almost got stuck in Angry Birds, but just backed out.
If I boot up into ClockWork mod, the hard home key works fine. Did I miss a patch for that issue?
Flash seems to work fine also. Are there any other mods to apply?
Thanks for your help and all of the info you provided in the threads.
Steve.
Known issue mentioned in the ROM's thread. One of the supplements fixes it.
After searching most of the morning I did find a screen calibration tool, but it did not resolve the issue.
I guess I need to spend the afternoon looking for button remapper and/or button savior?
Minor problem, nice day outside, may live with it, unless you can point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
-Steve.
Have you applied the supplements for TnTLite 4.3?

Scroll to the bottom of the first post.
I had a similar problem yesterday with Vegan 5.1.1. Doing a master reset on it solved the issue.
Home button also not working
I am using TNT Lite 4.4.0 and have the same problem. Has anyone found a resolve?
Thanks,
Ed
Found a resolution. Backup your apps first and then do a factory reset. This worked for me. Now working as fast as the day I installed 4.4.0.
Thanks...
Thanks K J Rad.
I downloaded each.
I guess I need to install both?
-Steve.
Supplements are cumulative. You only need to install the latest one.
Thank you. That is good to know and to remember.
I decided to upgrade to TNT Lite 4.4.0.
It fixed my home button and the sleep issue.
Works great now.
Thanks.

I flashed my first ROM last night, and tried to play music using Google Music Beta, which I downloaded from the market. When I try to play the music, the app keeps on force closing. I tried reinstalling the app, tried reflashing the rom, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated.
Did you perform a full wipe before flashing the rom? I'm running 2.1 (remix) as well using mr2.5 and the kernel that came packed with BAMF 2.1. Having no issues using google music beta. Don't have much in the way of advice, just chiming in to help you narrow down where your issue is coming from (namely that the rom itself shouldn't be the issue). Might want to verify the md5, never know when you might snag a bunk download.

Yes, I performed a full wipe before flashing the ROM, assuming that means data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats...did that three times. Not sure if I am supposed to do it more. Also checked the md5, downloaded and flashed it twice more after the first time, and still can't get it to work.
Hrm, afraid I don't have much else to suggest outside of verifying settings within the music app itself. As I said, was primarily just letting you know the rom itself shouldn't be the issue. Sorry I cant be of more assistance . Might try a different rom and see if the issue persists, but if you're liking the 2.1 thats far from an actual solution even if it does solve the problem.

Never mind, I thought I got it working, but after playing a song, it crashed. I might just go back to stock rom, not a really big issue.

I was having the same problem (just 20 minutes ago). The app would load, the albums and tracks would appear, and then when I went to play one of them it would force close. What I did to correct the problem was to to reflash 2.1 in recovery without wiping. I let in reboot and now its working fine.
I am running bamf 2.0 - 5 and it works for me.
Although it Sometimes makes my phones signal drop to 1x so maybe flash a new radio?

Tried this, then even flashed the new ROM RC1 and RC2, and still am unable to get it working. Any help is appreciated. I just keep on getting the same issue, Error playing requested track. And then when I go to check the app data, I see the numbers going in and out, flickering, and have to force stop and then uninstall.

ATM, I am using Lighting Rom 3.3.1, which is a Froyo ROM, but I might try one of the other Gingerbread ROM's available. But I really did love that DasBamf ROM, and the issue seems to be amongst just a few of us.
Bump.
Still having Google Music force close on Das BAMF RC3. Can anyone confirm that it works?
I can confirm I'm having the same issue with BAMF 2.1 stripped. I tried reloading the rom without wiping and fixing permissions and still getting a force close when I attempt to play anything from the cloud.

It is listed as a known issue in the RC3 thread, but they are having trouble reproducing it. I had the same problem with RC1, but after I wiped and loaded RC3, it appears to be working fine now. I only loaded it last night and tested a little this morning though, so problems could still develop. When I was having trouble with RC1, I tried the procedure of uninstalling Google Music, unmounting SD card, reinstalling Music, and then remounting SD card. It didn't work with RC1, but I did the same thing prior to testing Music on RC3. I have no idea if that made any difference either way, but it won't hurt to try.
Edit: The known issue could be referring to the HTC Music app, not the Google one, now that I look at it again.(Still reading through the entire RC3 thread)

It was indeed the HTC Music app that is the known issue. I posted in the thread, and I provided a logcat, so hopefully someone with more experience than me can understand it.
I'm having the same issue on DAS BAMF 2.1 on latest lean kernel.
I can get it working 99% of the time with wifi only. If i use 3g or 4g the app force closes. I've tried different kernels as well.
Anyone else able to confirm if this issue is wifi/3g/4g related? Im able to use the player only if I use wifi.
Maybe this can help the devs push out a patch in 2.2
I am using it right now on RC3

I mean I can access music.google.com from the browser but that kind of defeats the purpose of the app/widget.
My friend who has the same rom isn't getting the issue.
So after limping along with Illuminate for a while, I finally bit the bullet and installed Gtabcomb 3.3, works fine, FC's the gallery app on boot but otherwise a pretty smooth experience. (oh occasionally I get an earsplitting white noise from the speakers for no reason, only way to stop is to reboot) But it seems to have stagnated, haven't seen an update or anything in a while, but I see that Flashback is getting a pretty constant stream of updates, and it interests me, what would the main differences be in the 2 roms?
Also I saw a post on Tabletroms saying that 3.2 had been ported to the Advent Vega, which I know is very similar to the Gtab, will it be heading to the Gtab soon?
Sorry for the rambling
I run Flashback as my daily.
Truthfully, flashing is so easy just back it all up and flash it for a try.
Rumor I heard over at slatedroid is 3+ maybe coming soon with possible H/W Accel? Dev of flashback is working with them for testing...
Might be a good time to try it out?

+1 for Flashback. Was my daily driver until I wanted to do more video stuff. Still miss it and some of the honeycomb specific apps.

I'll +1 Flashback as well. And I currently use Mountain Laurel for the same reasons nvanlaar stated above. I'm eagerly awaiting the ROM updates for Flashback which will allow me to get back to Flashback for my daily and I won't look back (pun intended).

One more vote for Flashback.
I was stuck on 1.1 forever, after lots of failed or half-ass attempts at flashing ROMs other than my original install of VeganGE. Today I meticulously went through the steps to go back to 1.1 stock, over to 1.2, then setting up Flashback. The only hitch I encountered was a broken market, which was fixed on my second attempt at the simple market fix method.
Flashback is just phenomenal. I'm running 8.1 and have found no Force Closes on any program. Fast, smooth and sexy. Just like me. /ducks
A big thank you to the developers of FB - in my opinion, the best ROM out there for our tablets.
FB is great for me except for the Sleep of Death. Never tried GTabComb.

I tried gtabcomb and I switched over to Flashback, top main reason gtabcomb thread has been locked since July, and for me with something as new and may have problems like a rom support is key.

I've been on gtabcomb for a while it's pretty solid although I do have an annoying issue where everytime I'm running an app or running the browser when I back out to the homescreen, when I press the triangle, it freezes up for a second then shows my blank homescreen then all the widgets and icons begin to load one by one very slowly. I hate this so much it makes me angry! It makes my tablet look cheap! I've tried reinstalling the roms several times but after a while it starts doing it again! It's not like I have toomany widgets or icons on my homescreen.. What gives? Is this normal? I thought the tegra 2 should handle widgets and icons!! Anyone else having this issue?

Do what I've been doing and see if it helps: halve the memory-related settings (which are for a tablet with 1GB of RAM) in /init.rc. Just flash the attached zip file using CWM.
It's been a while since I tested the script, so understand that you do this at your own risk. If there are any screwups, just reflash the ROM. That will restore your original /init.rc, and therefore, the original memory-related settings.
If the modifications worked, then attach the changed /init.rc file so I can take a look at it.

1. Flash the zip file using CWM anytime after GtabComb installation.
2. Install Root Explorer, or another file manager which lets you work on system files, and copy the /init.rc file to a micro SD card or USB stick, then transfer this to your PC and post the file here.
Not sure what causes it, anything other than Stock SBF causes my DX2 to switch the mapping of Home and Back Button... Its kind of pissing me off.
Any suggestions/ideas?
I tried ButtonRemapper but it doesn't work for our phone.
Currently on 2.3.4 with Eclipse 1.0 Rom.
Tried many flashes - Occurs on:
Stock 2.3.3 SBF
Rooted 2.3.3
Stock 2.3.2 + P3Droids' 2.3.3 Root
Stock 2.3.4 SBF
Occurs with or without Eclipse.
Occurs with Data/Cache/Dalvik wipes before installs after installs etc.
I found the keyboard layout folder but I don't really know what I am doing thought I would ask for some guidance for our specific phone. Maybe someone else has had this issue and solved easily?
Thanks, RC
It might just be the phone. I've never heard of this issue. You say you have it on all versions? That's odd.
DX2 Eclipse 1.0
the hardkeys on the X2 nearly sent me in another direction for a phone (yes, I hate the clicking THAT much!).
And I dunno if it'll do a damn thing, but have u tried anything like Button Savior or the like to by pass those keys?...i love that damn app X )

You also can try zmooth or zmooth light. Another option to button savior, and I find it is out of the way and easy to use.
