Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum and just received my g tablet today. I followed the instructions for installing cwmod and tnt lite 4.40 and everything went great. However, I've run into a few issues. When trying to download angry birds it hangs at 15%. I have tried multiple times to kill the download and restart it with the same results.
I'm also new to Android. Is there a way to set things up so my gmail is not accessible to anyone who picks up my tablet? I could also use a recommendation for a good video player that plays .avi files. Another problem I'm having is that whenever I try to play a music file in either the native music player or winamp, the app crashes. Everyone told me how much better android is than apple but so far im not that impressed. Can anyone make some recommendations so I can see the full potential of this tablet? Thanks in advance!
I just upgraded from 4.2 to 4.4.0 and don't have any of the issues you are referring to. I was previously getting a couple of force closes that I don't have anymore with 4.4 which makes me happy. I just confirmed movies play, but I don't have any songs loaded to test that. Hopefully someone here with greater knowledge will chime in quickly. You made a good choice going with Android - don't give up hope. It does take a little more effort to get it setup the way you want it, but the beauty is that you HAVE a lot of choices which iOS does not allow. You'll get there, and then you will love it.

Have you tried clearing caches? Wiping data? Many times those two simple things (which are usually recommended procedure after flashing a new ROM0 will clear up all kinds of problems.
With the latest TNTL you should be able to activate the lock screen. You'll need to set up a shortcut through your launcher to a security settings screen that isn't shown by default. That will allow you to enter a password, pin or unlock pattern.
Update: Just realized camera isn't working either. As for the Angry Birds problem, I have downloaded and installed other apps with no problem but for some reason Angry Birds hangs at 15% - super frustrating! Also, is there a way to do a screen capture? Thanks in advance!
I had a similar problem
You really need to check the error code to verify. I was having a similar issue and I found an article to resolve my issue.
This worked for me but like I said you need to check if you are receiving an error when attempting to install.
I would only do what this little fixit instructs to fix

The caveat with the android over apple is the versatility and personal control over how you get to use your device. That said, it requires a little bit of effort, research, and frustration to get it all to work perfectly if you choose to use the latest builds. If you want the least amount of problems use the most stable build (which is usually not the most latest build) Once you get use to it, using the latest build with bugs won't be so intimidating and frustrating...maybe still frustrating

If the camera is not working, you definitely want to do a data wipe (this is a GTablet, correct? I ask because VEGA and Adam users have tried to use TNT Lite before, and their cameras would definitely break).
As for screen capture, I used ddms (in the Android SDK).
Curious about some of these since most of them don't seem to be documented on the main thread, so I'm not sure if it's something on my end or something not working with the ROM. Any workaround suggestions would be appreciated.
--Built-in video camera app doesn't work (documented).
--Video playback doesn't work correctly. Audio is fine, video lags. Eventually audio stops to resync with laggy video. Happens with video files recorded before installing the ROM, which used to play fine on stock GB, as well as tested with video files dumped from my PC. Tried Gallery's player, MX player, and Rock player.
--Chrome crashes frequently (most notably when hitting the tabs button).
--Twitch.tv app plays audio with a black screen (youtube and other things work fine).
--Hardware buttons don't light up.
--Voice Search doesn't work.
--Google Books crashes immediately (documented). (seems to be fixed as of 8-23B)
--Live wallpapers don't work (black background). (seems this magically fixed itself without any updates or workarounds)
--Battery % seems to act weird above 90%, lately it's been stopping charging at 95% (or so it says), and the battery info on the lock screen says "Charged" rather than "Charging" at 95%. Reboot, battery pull, wipe batt stats, re-flash ROM, etc. didn't fix. This didn't happen for the first few days after initial install. (seems to be an Atrix problem with 4.0+ rather than a ROM specific problem)
Edit: 8-23-12B
Live Wallpapers working just fine here on latest 0815
The only issue I have really found is that I cannot get my chrome to phone to work... but I can use phone to chrome.
Anyone else have this issue and come up with a solution?

Uh... Try searching.
Video camera does work on some apps, hardware buttons light up when you select "auto-brightness," Voice search works when you install the appropriate offline voice file, and battery % can be fixed with ravilov's battery app.

It works. Like anything else, you need to sign off/sign in to the service for it to recognize it again. Need to do that every time you flash a rom.

That doesn't work. I have logged in and out on phone and computer, I have installed fresh, I have tried clearing data, and reistalling with data from titanium. Any other ideas? I tried everything I can think of. And I can use the phone to chrome fine just not the chrome to phone...
Most things are running very well. I've tried about a half a dozen roms over the past week or so. One of the only problems I've found is issues with google now. It wont speak back to me, it's just shows the google results. Even on basic questions that it usually would speak an answer back to you, like scores of a baseball game or something like that. But that's not a big problem for me. Also, there's some issues with Chrome and some other browsers. Some browsers work better than others. To my surprise, I'm having the best luck with Firefox Beta and Boat Browser.

Google Voice Crashes
Great ROM. Thanks, epinter.
I'm getting regular messages for Google Voice stopping. I'm running the gapps v3 and the 2012-080-25 ROM but I was also getting the Google Voice crashes in 2012-08-23B.
I upgraded from CM9 without a user wipe (I did wipe cache) and went straight to gapps v3. Other than the Google Voice FCs, everything is running great. I haven't read about anyone else having this problem. Is it just me?
Much appreciated.

Update: I incorrectly assumed that Google Voice was part of the gapps package. A quick uninstall and reinstall of Google Voice through Play did the trick.
Now this ROM is running like butter!
Is anyone getting endless force closes after installing the new Google Play Music? I've tried using two different Touchwiz Roms and even CM 10.1 and all of them seem to have issues running the app. Thoughts?
+1 on that issue. I just uninstalled play music for the time being. It was ridiculous the number of times it fc'd on me

so it sounds like its an error with the app? I guess it makes sense because it's such a new service but it's also weird that some people are having no issues at all.
also having force closes
On my note running jedi rom, nexus 4 and my tablet. The radio feature works fine on PC but it won't start on the 4 or my tab. The music app itself closes constantly on my note though. I uninstalled the app and reloaded a previous version so I can atleast still listen to my purchased tunes.

It's a very strange problem that alot of folks are having, I did take the update and I've had zero problems although they did change alot in this update. Im running clean rom 4.5 with perseus kernel, no overclock or undervolt, idk if it matters what your running it should be stable either way I use it all the time but still getting used to the new look. .

Looks like the update doesn't like too many songs. Deleted a few hundred and it works.

I have over 1000. It worked with 400-something.
I have just over 7000 songs. I am on an S3 on T-Mobile. I tried the new Google play music on several roms, included stock rooted and the app was unusable because of the force closes. I reverted back to the old version of Google play music, unrooted, let my music sync, then upgraded to the new version through the play store, and it has been working for 3-4 days without any problems. I rerooted the phone to test and sure enough the force closes came back. I repeated the process stated above and it works perfect again. I am convinced "root" was causing the force closes... At least in my case. Hope this helps.

I was having the same problem and I just found a way to make it work for me.
1. Turn off phone.
2. Eject SD card
3. Reboot
4. Open Play Music and go through the setup making sure that it doesn't crash
5. Turn phone back off and insert SD card
6. Reboot
For me after those steps it is still working.
Edit: Until I put my music back on my sd card.

I thought the SD Card was the issue too. I've got a little over 3000 songs and I thought it was the loading process causing the FC's so I had done what you post above on 3 separate roms and all have FC'd. It has even FC'd before even launching the application. I have decided to just wait it out and hope that Google solves this issue soon. I have faith in them to get things fixed pretty soon like they usually do. Thanks for the tips though!

I forgot that I had taken all my music off of my SD card before I did those steps. Once I added it back to my card it started happening again after I refreshed. But it didn't start until near the end of the refresh. It looks like there are certain tracks that it doesn't like, or after a certain amount of music on your sd card it stops working.
+1 on this issue, hope they fix it soon, having to use the touchwiz music player and it sucks.

This time I'm pretty sure I have the fix. It is definitely working for me. There's a problem with the album art in the mp3's ID3 tags. I'm pretty sure it's only the art from a few of them but good luck finding which ones. If you delete all the album art from all mp3's you should be able to run the app without problems. You'll have to delete all the music from your phone and re copy it. You might have to delete everything you've uploaded to Google then re upload that too, but I'm not sure about the last part. Hope this helps.

I was thinking the same problem being with album art but I can install Google Music without ANYTHING on my SD card and external SD card and it will still crash. It's very odd so I guess I'm just going to wait until Google pushes next update that will hopefully fix it. I've seen quite a good amount of people complaining so I'm sure Google will look into it.

I have a Galaxy S Relay 4g (SGH-T699). I notice that sometimes, when I try launching an app, it takes the phone a brief pause to launch the program. Google Drive is an example, but something as simple as making a call reproduces a very noticeable pause which is annoying to say the least.
I don't have many programs running simultaneously, and I try to keep my phone clear of unnecessary apps. I'm running Android version 4.1.2.
Will rooting help with this?
Thanks.

Yes it would be faster when rooted. You could overclock your CPU. I have found that the ROM Kaos Droid increases performance. There are other ROMs that are built for speed, like Commotio. You could build your own ROM. too. Also, There are some things you can do to speed your phone up without rooting. Keep webpages closed when not using them, Task Manager by Rhythm Software helps a bit too, and you should reboot your phone about once a day also.

Yes root will help, you can then use tools to overclock your device also you can use mods and tweaks to increase performance. In case of overclocking you will need to have a kernel which supports changing of clock freq also some mods and tweaks will need int.d support which is not included in all the kernels.
Hey guys, thanks for the response, where can I go to get started with rooting? Do you have a link?

I am currently running SlimSaber Latest 4.4.4: 20150810 http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/rom-slimsaber-i9100-t2350201
But have also had this problem on ResurrectionRemix lolipop, dont remember the exact version i had installed at that time.
I have tried to change the TTS from Pico to Google text to speech and Ivona..no luck, the navigation voices will just stop working sooner or later for no apparent reason, i will hear a "ding" sound instead of any voice guidance.
If i "clear data" for Google Maps, sometimes, not all the time, the problem will get fixed temporarily..but will appear again in no time.
I have tried reinstalling Google Maps, reinstalling the TTS, changing the TTS...nothing works, and if something does work, it is only temporary, for 1-2 days at most.
Please, do you guys have any suggestions on what i can do to fix this ?

Thanks for the reply.
I am using the gapps located here slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1150-addons4-4 **Version** Slim_mini_gapps.4.4.4.build.8.x-385.
I am not sure where to look up the partition details but i have not repartitioned anything so i believe everything should be default.
Thankfully, i have found a strange and yet seemingly reliable fix for my problem after at the very least 2 weeks of trying to figure out why voice navigation stops working.
The fix i've found is very easy to do and i have no idea why it works but it seems to be working all the time, found it only a few hours ago but it passes the phone restart test & google maps restart (something which none of the other things i've tried did), i must first start the navigation and select vehicle / car as my method of transportation, after that, i switch back to what i normally use which is "on foot" and the navigation voice will work.
This is the issue of incomplete voice directions. The voice directions need to be downloaded when you are using the Google Maps and it depends on your internet speed. If there is no voice direction, you will hear "chime" sound instead of the voice direction.
Check out the help from google.
