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
Best ROM on XDA
+1
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.

I have this issue with every rom ive tried on my gtab. So now I pretty much just install clem's kernel everytime. Plus it gives me CIFS so I can stream media from my windows pc .

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.

Been getting over 2500 on quadrant consistently with a high of 2612. It's the fastest my tab has run so far.

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.
Are the mods of CM7 preferred over straight CM7? Also, just to get HW accel, should one stick with Vegan 5.1?
Just ordered my G Tab from Amazon and wondering what ROM I should jump to.
Thanks for your time.
Each ROM has it's fans but I've been running VEGAn 5.1.1 since it was posted and for me and my needs from a tablet it's rock solid without a bunch of force closes or other issues like I've read other people report about other roms or tweaks (like using different kernels) they've made to them after they've flashed a flavor of rom.
I use my gTAB for games, reading books/magazines/comics, accessing my work computers, watching ripped videos, watching flash videos on sites like HULU (needs hacked Flash) or Fox Television (doesn't need hacked Flash). And I've had access to the Market with almost every app I've needed or wanted show up without any tweaks.
In the end it's really up to the user and what the user wants out of their tablet.
I moved to the Vegan GB ROM mainly because, for some reason, Flash kept malfunctioning on any of the 2.2 ROMs I used. I miss watching videos, but hopefully a GB driver is forthcoming.
On the 2.2 side, I preferred Calkulin's ROM (with pershoot's Froyo kernel) because it was fast, and I also thought it was more tablet-oriented.
My advice is, while your tab is still new and you don't have it as customized as you will in the future, flash every ROM available and take them for a test spin. I'd run Calkulin's Format All zip before every ROM install just to be safe.

Considering how easy it is to do, I second this. It's pretty much what I did before settling on VEGAn 5.11, although I think I may try VEGAn Ginger again.
I am running CM7 on the Gtab without any issues. I chose CM7 rom since I am familiar with it because I am using that on my DInc.
Yeah I was considering VEGAn Ginger too. Let's see how much free time I have this weekend.
I am running cm7 on mine....since all the other versions are based off cm7 anyway. Cyanogenmod does an update and pushes it out...I don't have to wait for the others to update their source base from cm and merge in their rom edits.

Vanilla AOSP Gingerbread:
if you don't mind configuring it alot. I've found it to be faster than any of the Tnts and Vegans. It's supposed to be as close to Google's code as possible. I've also found it to have the most complete market out of all the other roms!
where can one download said hacked flash?

where can i get the hacked flash? i downloaded a 10.1 hacked from a link, but then hulu said i needed a newer flash,
I use CM7 with Pershoot's kernel and VTL Launcher. I've found it quite nice since they integrated in the tablet tweaks. I don't watch videos on it, though, so I haven't had to worry about hardware acceleration. Though, apparently, the last stable release and nightly gives some NVidia tuning, though not full hardware acceleration like Froyo, from what I gather.

I'm running Corwins CM7 build as it has the ad hoc script built in. I would like to use the original build of CM7 but I'm having trouble with getting it to ad hoc, any advice on how to add that functionality?

You can get the hacked libflashplayer.so file for flash 10.2 here. You need to install the standard flash 10.2 first, though. It's available on the market, but you can also get it here if it doesn't show up in the market for you. I've been running it on CM 7.0.2 and it works great; just make sure to set your browser to desktop (in stock browser, Menu>Settings>Select User Agent; I set mine to linux desktop) and configure the run at boot file transfer script (instructions are in the post).

I have been running CM7 on my gTab since day 1. Very happy with it!
Download the attached zip to mount the internal SD card as /sdcard instead of /emmc if you wish.
You can also Google "CM7GBMod3.zip" to remove all unnecessary CM7 apps to give you a cleaner feel.
I have done several searches on this site and the inter-googles in general, and can't seem to find the answer.
Is it possible to run Oxygen ROMS on the Aria. I am assuming they are like CM but I only see them for the Desire.
Any answers or help ?
From what I can gather from their website, Oxygen is only available for Desire and Nexus S.
Thanks, just was looking for an alternative to CM, but staying in the AOSP realm. Can't stand Sense

CM is the only AOSP option available for Aria, though I don't feel there is really any need for another one as it's quite good. Is there something in particular you don't like about CM? (Just curious)
No not really just kinda bored...like to try different things. I tried CM7 which was good, but I still find my self coming back to CM6.1 Final. I just really like the look and feel and OC'd its kinda snappy.
Personally, one of a handful of things keeping me on CM7 is that S2E only works with CM7. I tried DT A2SD at one point, but got confused with it all and scrapped it altogether. Another is the Eye-Candy Theme that uses ThemeChooser.
are you using a nightly or released build ie: RC ? never heard of eye candy....elaborate? also benefits to s2e vs DT a2sd

Eye Candy is just one of many downloadable themes for CM7. It's not included with the ROM.
Simple2Ext (S2E) basically does the same things that DT a2sd does, but it is very easy and straightforward to setup and configure. Simply install the application from the Market, run it, check a couple boxes, reboot, and it's ready to go. It only works with CM7.

+1 on CM 7 with S2E. IMHO it is the best solution for the limited storage issues on the Aria. With CM 7 and S2E, I had over 25 apps downloaded from the Market and still had over 100 MB free of program storage.

1.Can anyone give me reasons why I should do so?
If you think I should, what are the features in my current Android that would be missing in CyanogenMOD? Aside from SWYPE.
2. Does older versions of CyanogenMOD have SWYPE?
3. If I don't like it, would it be easy to switch back to Android and make it seem like it was never tampered with, Samsung settings and all
4. Is it really less expensive to have internet access via wifi tethering from mobile phone? How so?
...Don't carriers charge a lot for internet connection? I'm asking because I think CyanogenMod has wifi tether feature?
Please answer ALL questions.

1. Reasons:
> It's wicked fast. Even a non-barebones CyanogenMod is really smooth.
> No annoying Samsung Bloatware (although this applies to generally all custom ROMs now)
> Tons of options. Just scroll into Settings > CyanogenMod Settings or the Spare Parts application, and there's a ****load of stuff you can customize.
Unreasons:
> Miserable battery life. 2/3rds the life of a stock ROM
> Generally less stable.
> I don't know if this is just me, but if I enable Portable hotspot, the battery will get really hot. Around 65 degrees.
Features on the Galaxy Ace missing from CM7
> TouchWiz and TouchWiz apps (duh)
> Samsung Apps
> AllShare
> And, by default, official CM doesn't include Google Apps (like Market, Gmail), but the KANG (unofficial) builds here do, so that's not an issue.
2. Nope. No version on CM have had or will have Swype preloaded.
3. Short answer: absolutely. Long answer: Nandroid Backup. ClockwordMod Recovery. Look it up.
4. It depends on your carrier. I use a semi-unlimited data (500MB data cap) for Rp35,000 (which is around US$3) a month.

No..Its just related to cm7 based roms..btw MIUI is not yet available on sga
I would use the stock rom if it didn't keep rebooting any time I touched anything in the system folder.
The CM settings are cool too, like status bar brightness, long back to close, notification power widget tweaks etc.

Cyanogen is more about stability not features.(their site seems to say so)
For me, maps does not work very well in CM.
samsung stock ROM is not that bad. eg browser has some nice features. also CM also got some nice features that stock browser lacks
I personally think android ROM are not really for customization. LOL
compared to jailbroken iphone customization.
It's really sad to see those called android customization are more off linux tweak(governor, file system, ....)
I don't know what's preventing dev from customizing android. (go look around what jb iphone can customize)
I always have to stay shut off whenever I meet jailbroken iphone users!!!
Also there should be some kind of cyanogen stores (which will run in cyanogen ROM).
Sorry if this is off-topic.
Hi,
Good day
I'm looking for an android app which is basically a NOTIFIER that is always on top of any running applications
(like Floating Notification, GO Toucher etc) but what I am specifically looking for is a function that:
For example - I am playing games, when someone SMS/FB Chat/Email/IMO etc... me, it pops up on my current screen then what I want is I can directly reply WITHOUT closing or alt-tabbing the game. Hope it is clear enough.
I don't know what search tag should I use because typing "pop up notifier" seems too broad or it does not have what I am looking for.
Hope you can help me
Thanks!
I am using Galaxy S3 Omega ROM v45 if you must know.
Try installing a custom ROM such as Paranoid Android. It has halo which is exactly what you're looking for.

Hi heslo,
This is a very useful info.
Thanks mate but i think this will be my last resort because installing another ROM is a pain in a butt. hehe~
But you know, if its an APP pre-loaded in Paranoid ROM, I think I can extract that and install in mine?
Don't think it will work with stock type ROM. Installing another ROM is not hard to do Lol. Just remember to wipe data/system/cache/dalvik cache. Once you install a Paranoid Android or any other AOSP/AOKP ROM you will like it much more. Halo is a great app, plus all the other great features. Look it up on YouTube plenty of videos on it plus I'm sure a few tutorials on how to install custom ROMs for your device :good:
Sent from my One X
3rd party apps cant do this. That's why floating notifications doesn't do it. Requires lots of other framework and system ui changes. Only HALO does this
