I am one of those that stuck with bult 69XX (the leaked rom) instead of the official 8105 build.
I am however using the buil.prop from the official version and still have some apps still not showing up in my market.
The most prominent being Google Earth.
I've tried the usual: clear kalvik-cache, wait 24 hours, reboot with no luck.
Can anyone that updated their streak through the official channels that has not rooted it confirm they can actually see google earth in the market?
I'd like to know if I'm chasing ghost so I can give up seeing as I actually do have google earth installed through a direct APK link.
If you CAN see it, please state what build, any customisations and if you're rooted ot not

Im stuck between vegan and tnt lite. Which one should I get?
I asked the same question to myself a few days ago when I first started researching them. Hope you don't mind me using your thread since I didn't want to start a similar topic. I think after doing lots of reading & video watching I've settled on VEGAn 5.1.1. I've been writing down items I'd like to add right away once I receive the g-tab on Wednesday. So far, I have the following things I need/want to do for sure:
- setup Wi-Fi connection
- Check firmware version to make sure it isn't 3991 & update to 3588 if 3389 is received as expected
- install clockworkmod, VEGAn 5.1.1, flash & market fix
- install malware exploit patch
The other apps & what not I'm thinking of adding are:
- a kernel (possibly clemsyn's)
- Titanium Backup
- Dolphin Browser HD
- Launcher Pro
- Quadrant
- Google Cloud Print
- ES File Explorer
- DroidEmuLite
- ROM Gripper
- WiimoteController
- Kindle/Laputa
- EZ PDF
- Samurai II Vengeance, Pinball Deluxe, Angry Birds Rio, etc.
I don't really want to overwhelm myself so I'm going to take this slow. I know there are alternate apps/ROMs/etc to what I've posted above but those look good from what I've read or seen. Not sure what other must-haves I'm missing though. I've looked into NVflash & adb a little. There was an alternate keyboard I liked but will have to track that down again.

It depends on what you're after. For the first month after I got the device, I stuck with stock plus gapps, then the enhancement pack. Then I finally went ahead and went to TNTLite, which I dug for a long time. However, after going to TwoTapsX (following TNTLite 5) and successfully using NVflash to get out of it, I decided I was going to try out Vegan. I first went with Ginger, but as much as I loved it, the My Apps thing drove me crazy, and when I tried the workaround, it borked the install. I then wiped again and went with Vegan 5.1.1, and I have to say: this is the most I've enjoyed the tablet.
The reasons for this are simple. TNTLite is a great ROM, very quickly updated, and with all the refinements one could ask for. However, I was always looking for a way to get to the Android control functions (like lockscreen and the ability to set a password for cached credentials) that aren't included in the settings menu.
Some refinements made in the TNT system (the browser interface, etc) might be missing in Vegan, but getting access to all Android configuration options makes me like it better than TNTLite can currently offer. I look forward to GoJimi/etc's continued work on GingerEdition, as I'm sure it's going to kick ass very soon.
I am using calkulin rom + clemsyn kernel + chenglu loopback megapack and my gtab flying. It is faster than my laptop @ duo core 2Ghz. Thanks to all developers.
Thank you very much guys, this is a great thread... From what I have read other than the stock browser, Dolphin HD should also be able to handle Flash 10.2. Please keep reviews coming and what you use the gTablet/ROM mostly for.

That is about the exact same list of core apps I use. Lol! Wiimote controller works great. I love gameboid and other emu apps when paired with the wiimote.
Dolphin HD is the only browser I have gotten hulu to work on.
Launcher pro is the awesome on gtab. The new 3d transitions look awesome on it
Titanium backup is a must if you want to try new roms but hate hitting the market for an hour downloading your apps again
To stick with topic though, I use VEGAn Beta 5.1.1 as a daily. I love gADAM and TnT lite a lot and switch between them here and there. Currently waiting for official release of VEGAn and word if viewsonic is heading in the direction of 3991. If they do I'm planning on moving onto twotapsx for a daily. At thus point its to much of a pain in the bum to switch between twotaps and other roms.

Post link plz to chenglu loopback megapack
Question. If im going to load Vegan 5.1.1 do i really have to do the OTA update? Since I will be wipping the rom and loading another rom. That means no point doing th OTA update to get version 3588 no?
If you have an earlier version than 3588 you need to do OTA to get there. If you are thinking about VEGANtab, I would stick with 5.1 ( not 5.1.1) for my first flash. It is the most stable version and you can easily move to 5.1.1 later. I suggest a check list procedure so you don't forget something and be patient as reboots take longer after flashing.

No, because you will be using nothing from it.
You use Clockworkmod Recovery as the recovery, not the stock one from the OTA.
You use VEGAn system, not the one from the OTA.
Install Clockworkmod Recovery, install VEGAn5.1, install the 5.1.1 supplement and I would update to one of the newer kernels as well (pershoot or clemsyn).
What is the OTA update? And do I have to install vegan 5.1 and then install the supplement 5.1.1?
My gTablet got much better with regard to wireless and Market app installations when I went to 5.1.1 from 5.1.
Looking for the most concise changelog and howto info for installing clemsyn kernel into VEGAn 5.1.1. if anyone has a link to such a thing.
I'm using Two Taps X .092 and it is the best by far. Side note using Firefox for browsing.

OTA = Over The Air. It updates the official release of firmware loaded on your tablet from the factory. You don't need this if you're flashing a custom ROM.
Yes... 5.1 then 5.1.1 supplement. They must be done in that order since 5.1.1 is sort of like a service pack.

support for ICS only?
I've downloaded this app to my htc glacier running "creamed-glacier" rom and got an error message saying "Chrome is not supported for your version of Android. Version 4.0 (ICS) is the minimal supported version." However, since my phone isrunning the creamed glacier rom which is version 4.0.3, shouldn't I be able to run this app? Any ideas? Thanks.
I believe the build.prop file needs to be edited for this.
From:
ro.build.id=GWK74
TO
ro.build.id=IML74K
very interesting... i just received an update from the market for Chrome Beta, then after the update i'm now able to use this app. i guess i don't have to update the build.prop file after all. but thanks for the info

Its possible they received complaints from CM9 users and decided to remove the ro.build.id check.
Chrome for Android Beta has been updated to 0.16.4301.233 (Chrome 16.0.912.77). Primarily focused on bug fixes, this update addresses issues in the compatibility check which prevented Chrome from starting up on some versions of Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich.
Known issues:
112923 : No way to toggle between mobile/desktop UA
113140 : Youtube links do not prompt for which application to use
113132 : Chrome for Android beta doesn't support configured proxy in wi-fi settings

Hi,
I am looking for information on how to get the Gmail apk freely available without using Android market.
I have two custom android devices with no access to market - one running Android 2.1 and another running Android 4.1.
I would like to get 2 versions of the Gmail.apk -
1. Older one which is compatible with Android 2.1
2. Latest one
I am using my own build made from the AOSP code on these devices - android market is disabled in the build.
Also what is the procedure/licencing for packaging the Gmail.apk as part of your own build from the Android AOSP code ?
Thanks.
