First off I want to say that MacRom is the most stable/speedy ROM I've used so far (thanks for all the hard work!).
Just a couple issues with the new MR8 update:
1. The new market seems to be really slow? (maybe just due to the older Eris' lack of speed?)
2. I don't know if this is a market related issue or not, but I can't install a couple apps I use. The market doesn't give me an option to even download them: Words with Friends and Google Books. I'm not sure if it's related to the new market or if the apps are somehow incompatible with the new MR8 update?
3. Is there a way to get rid of the blue line that appears whenever you tap the screen to make a selection? I've been searching but have yet to find a way. The line just kind of annoys me, personally.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I love this ROM! Thanks!
Dude the same thing has been happening the past two days for me on Deadly and Spicy ROMs. For instance I had not been able to get Titanium but I got my Pro key fine, and same thing with XDA, regular worked fine but couldn't download premium. I took a nap earlier and woke up and had premium I'm about to check Titanium so it may be a Market issue.

Good to know. Hopefully it's just a market issue then, but still no luck for me...
same here
i too am wondering why i can't download certain apps from the market, like facebook for example. it's not already installed and i get no download button for that app in the market...but i get download button for most other apps.
also wondering about how to get rid of blue bar on menu selections.

I've seen the same issues with MR8 and MR9... I'm looking into the issue, but haven't found a work-around yet. I'm thinking it may possibly be a result of the build revision bump to 2.3.5 that might be throwing the market off (showing the phone as incompatible with your device), but it's only a theory, no fact to that yet...
Glad to know I'm not the only one as I have been having trouble downloading my premium apps too. I flashed 2.3.5 yesterday. I'm a noob so I was wondering what I Fk'd up... LOL!

i just noticed that the "My Apps" button in the market now looks like a phone and says "sprint"
If i click on it it doesn't take me to my apps.
Anyone else having this problem?
That's normal for this build. If you click on your Menu, you'll find My Apps there.
Thanks you were right

I'm really enjoying this ROM. The speed of the machine is phenomenal.
Love the Rom ad well but can't seem to get the market updated or to show all apps. Any thoughts?
I've tried market enabled to no avail.
Issue with ROM or with G-Tab?
I've noticed that if I let the g-tab go to sleep, I'm having to reboot it get it to wake up.
Is anyone else having this issue? I've had my tablet since x-mas, but have nto used it much. It sat in a desk drawer for about 2 months, and I'm just now getting into using it.

Yeah, again it's just the build. There are a ton of hacks that will get you more of the market, but I doubt you'll ever get "everything". Considering that the GTab wasn't blessed by Google, we're lucky to have the devs here to get the market at all.

Another issue with this ROM. Some have fixed it by going to Clemsyn's kernel, others to Pershoot's and still others by using CPU Master Free. Personally, I just set my tab's Screen Timeout to Never. What can I say...I like simple.

I agree. The only problems I see with it are no news and weather widget like on tnt, and the horrible photo album (I think it's from stock?)
Fireware
This may be a stupid question, so I am sorry if it is, but Calkulins v1.1 says it is "Based on rooted 2.2 / FRF91 - TnT 3991"...
so can you run it on the 1.1-3588 firmware, or will that brick?
Again, sorry for my ignorance...
Thanks!
ROM's and Firmware are the same thing. If you're asking whether you can use ClockworkMod or standard recovery, the answer is yes. Calkulin's ROM is a hybrid using the newer 3991 build for features but the older bootloader and recovery. It shouldn't cause you any trouble loading it over 3588.
Thanks! Sorry, I confused the firmware with bootloader, thanks for straightening that out!
No problem. Just want to make sure that I understand the question correctly. Happy modding!
All Done!
Woot!! I will say, I bought this on the woot! deal... and although I consider myself very computer savvy, I have never rooted/hijacked/whatever a device before...
Happily this was super easy! I wanted use the stock ROM for a bit to get familiar with it, but I just couldn't stand how slow/unresponsive/just crappy it was!!
So I jumped the gun and started in... luckily I did a lot of reading first!!
Loaded up Clockworkmod - and made a backup first!! lol
Used clockworkmod to install Calkulins ROM---OMG is it fast!!
The found that I was having the sleep-death issue... so I loaded up Clemsyns Kernel Too!!
Not a single hiccup! Even for a noob- this is super easy! Just follow all the great advice on the XDA forums (and don't skip steps!) and you can't screw it up.
Thanks to all the great people on here, for the hard work, and patience... I love seen good communities like this!
DeadEnd
Which version of Clemsyns is recommended?
Hi,
clakulins ROM is my prefered ROM so far
But, it needs some issues to be addressed to make it my daily driver.
1- sleep-to-death
I know we can use another kernel to fix this (so I keep this fix for later if everything else can work)
2- Settings/Family accounts/add member
This FC every single time. I definitly need this functionality. My Gtab being a family device....
3- Photos is horrible as previosuly pointed out in this thread. I want a centralized place for all my photos, or at least for local storage + picasa. With this gallery, we can only access picasa public albums. What about my own account !!!
4- Photos started to display pictures roatated one quarter to the left. It doesnt let me re-rotate them back to original. It does that for evey single picture, i cant fix this. Photos is now unusable
I tried a few Photos gallery apps from the market (6-7 so far). None of them works to my liking.
I just want somethings simple that get access to all my pics.
5- Cant play videos anymore. Not even the sample 'car' and 'king kong' that came with the Gtab.
If I can fix all of the above, calkulin will be my only and permanent ROM.
(ps items 4 and 5 were previously working ok in this ROM, this started yesterday)
Also, another things that is on my whish list:
- Have bluetooth HID
I have this blutooth keyboard collecting dust on the used parts shelve that I would like to use with the Gtab
thank you calkulin for all,
So, I decided to install clemsyn kernel to fix this sleep-death problem.
No problem installing, everything went well.
But now instead of comlaining that it cant play videos, it just FC on every videos I try to play.
I feel a complete reinstall will be necessary.

For me, just some of my apps show up under "My Apps". Most don't, and it changes at times. Like in the morning I may see 11 and in the night I may see 24 (although there are way more than that downloaded and installed).
Even after 2 days I only see my paid apps and I have close to 140 on my phone and at least 5 of them I installed after the market update and they aren't showing either.
Edit
When I search and find any of the apps that I have installed they show as being installed on the market link but just not showing up under my apps

For those of you experiencing bugs, check to see which version of the Market you have. The first leaked version was 3.0.26 but there is a slightly newer version 3.0.27 available here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7620746/com.android.vending-27.apk
I don't know if they fixed anything significant between these versions but it's worth trying it.

Market 3.0.27 is absolutely horrid. I switched back to the previous version but today I was forced to update. No way to revert.
1) It's ugly.
2) Reviews of apps are displaying out of order. We have reviews from 2010 being displayed at the top of the list, and recent reviews of the latest version nowhere to be found. There is no way to see how people are responding to a newly released version; meanwhile at the top of the list we have these outdated reviews complaining about issues that were already resolved.
3) Whenever updates for apps are released, the update notification displays, but there is no way of actually downloading the new version. Only "Open" and "Uninstall" are shown; it usually isn't until several hours later when we are actually given the option to download the new app.

That's the version I have and it still has the problem of not showing all of "My Apps". The only thing it fixed was the displaying of unsupported apps (e.g Flash Player 10.3, etc...).

Had to revert back to the last version because they brought back notifications, with a whole new list of things to announce in the notification area, but still with no way to disable them. I thought this was annoying enough, and emailed them about it, but then I tried downloading a 20+mb app without a wifi connection. The new downloading notification, which I like, stayed even after the Appstore ridiculously canceled my download, and persisted through two reboots, which I really didn't like, forcing me to switch back to the old version.
Anyone else having these issues? Even if you're not, please flood Amazon with requests to enable users to turn off notifications and remove the ridiculous 20mb cap for downloads off wifi.
Thanks.

Yeah, I've had the same issues, I just uninstalled and restored with titanium, the wifi issue is the most annoying too.
I'm actually having a very strange issue installing the new Appstore. In short, I can't. I get to the prompt to install or cancel (the one that displays the needed permissions) and I can not click on install. It's there, not grayed out, but I can't select it. Running CM7 and I've tried moving it to system/app and data/app and tried installing through adb. I'm stumped. Anyone else with this issue?
I'm running CM7.1 and it installed fine, unfortunately. Consider yourself fortunate for the time being. I won't be installing the new version until the notification issue is addressed.

Lol just kidding. But seriously I hate Amazon Market. I only use it for the free app, other than that I can't stand it. Notifications for everything. I sometimes get the "X new apps" notification several times a day. "Download Started" notification gets repeated on my tablet so I can't see other notifications, the clock, or easily access settings until it finishes. Forced wifi, even though at my parents' place it's 10x faster to use 3g. Can't get the free app without it automatically starting the download. Can't cancel the downloads once they have been started... Complete POS if you ask me. If they didn't have a free app every day I would never use it.
Anyone else having issues with the new Google Play Market? Literally every app I open up reads as incompatible with my device. Is this the case for anyone else? I'm currently on Vegan Froyo... is this just an issue for this ROM, or is it with all roms? Personally its becoming incredibly frustrating; many of my existing apps don't update, I'm forced to scour the dark ends of the internet for apks of paid apps I already own.
I tried the Market fix.. but that seems to have made issues worse. Any hope??

What is "ro.product.device=" in your /system/build.prop ?
A bad value/corruption there can cause incompatible messages.
I am on TNT Lite, which a Froyo distribution, and Google Play
works without any problems.
This is when an old CWM backup might have helped. Do you have any around?
My latest magic bullet for Froyo is "Fix Permissions" from CWM.
Give it a shot if all else fails.

I also am having a ton of issues with the new and "improved" google experience... the playstore will not load at all on my gtablet. I am running gtabcombover and really like the ROM... it was flawless until the market went stupid on us.
as soon as i try to open the app, i get the "accept" button but before I can even push it, the thing FC's and no matter what I cant make it even initialize. I am really hoping there is a painless and simple fix for this mess. And even more hoping that google hasnt completely cut all rooted devices out of the loop!
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
I'm having the same problem as the OP, except I'm using Roebeet's TnT Lite Froyo ROM. I've also tried the Market fix with no luck. Any ideas for solving the problem would be appreciated.
Every app that needs to be updated comes back with a "incompatible with your device" error. Market fix didn't make things worse for me, just didn't help much. I'll have more time for experimenting over the weekend, and, will post if I find an answer. Hopefully it's not due to Google Play seeing it as being a rooted device.
It's probably not because the device is rooted. I am running G-harmony and play works fine for me.
Google Market updated itself to the Google Play store without any problem on both VEGAn-TAB 7.1 and GtabCombOver 3.4.2. I was also able to update all of my apps as usual.
I'm using cm7 rc1 and market is hosed. I have tons of paid apps that are "incompatible" and wont update. I tried build.prop edits but nothing is working. If VeganTAB 7 is working I may switch back to it. Was using beastys rom and Google play made it so half my apps wouldn't update that's why I tried cm7.
Update:
VeganTAB 7 works great with Google play and all my apps updated.

If you know how to edit the build.prop you could try to edit the line for the manufacturer replace what's there with Samsung just remember to make a note of what was there to start. It worked for me but I'm on the DRH ice rom you you may not see it in the overall search but in you put in the name of the app you want it should come up and allow you to download n install. REMEMBER IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE DONT DO IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE COULD CAUSE YOU TO NVFLASH AND REBUILD FROM START HAVE BACKUP. TRY THE ONE IN THE CWM ROM.

Yes! This is driving me nuts as well. I first observed it on my Atrix running CM 7.2.0, and see the same thing on another Atrix which is 100% stock, never been rooted or flashed, just the OTA updates.
Funny enough, it seems to only affect tracks from the Play store and All Access. It also doesn't matter if I stream them or pin them first. But, it has no problem with random mp3s that didn't come from Google, including the ones bought from the Amazon MP3 app! Haha.
Google didn't want to help me based on the "unauthorized" software of course, nevermind that the Moto crap they recommend makes the phone completely unusable. Anyway, maybe I can get them to take another look now that I have the stock rom doing the same thing...
edit: tried factory reset on the stock Moto phone, and wipe /data through ClockworkMod on the CM7 phone. Neither helped.
I'm having the same problems as you guys but I'm on the Motorola Photon. However, my All Access plays only starts skipping after the screen is turned off. I also thought that the problem was due to custom rom installation but reverting back to stock did not help. Wondering if it's inherent to Motorola Tegra2 devices...
