You must've enabled Airplane Mode. VEGAn-Tab 7.1 has a bug in that setting: once activated, Airplane Mode is always set (internally). Reset it using the script attached.
Copy the script to the gTab; execute it as root; then reboot.
Code:
$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]sh [I]/some/path/[/I]reset_airplane_mode.sh[/B]
Thank you for your reply but your instruction is beyond my knowledge. I was able to download the zip file and extract the file but that's as far as I got.

After you've copied the script onto the gTablet somewhere, open a Terminal Emulator window and type those 2 command-lines in (w/o the prompt chars--ie. only the stuff in bold). Substitute the correct path in place of /some/path/.

For those of you who don't know exactly what the CRT animation is, it is the animation that Gingerbread uses when you press the power button and the screen gives a neat power off effect.
Well I wanted this. A lot. So I went out and did it. Just enabled it, and it looks gorgeous on my phone.
Please note, that you must be rooted in order to use this, and on Gingerbread.
It is a straightforward process.
PLEASE NOTE THIS REQUIRES ADB AND JAVA TO BE INSTALLED
A good idea to nandroid before this, as if something goes wrong it can screw up a lot of things.
Installation 1:
Download DX2-CRT-Animation.zip
Copy to sdcard
Flash in CWR
BIG THANKS TO p3droid FOR PACKAGING AS A ZIP
Installation 2 (the complicated, make you feel cooler, hardcore, original way):
This is modifying your framework-res so some themes may not work any longer.
Instructions:
[]Have phone plugged into computer, and in Charge Mode.
[]Download DX2-CRT-Animation.apk
[]Open Command Prompt (or Terminal) window in DX2-CRT-Animation.apk's location. (This can be accomplished by shift clicking on the folder where this resides, and clicking open command prompt here).
[]Push files onto the phone
Code:
adb push DX2-CRT-Animation.apk /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk
[]Get shell access
Code:
adb shell
su
---When you enter this, make sure your phone is awake, as a Super User access allow/deny will pop up. Allow it.
In command prompt, you should now have a #.
[]Remove and copy files to proper location, reboot
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
stop
rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
cp /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
rm /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk
reboot
Whats next:
-Reverse CRT animation (hopefully!!!)
Any input is appreciated.
I am new to this. Give me your input, and help me get better.
Works great! Thanks!
I think everything is working as it should with crt animation working.
Directions worked well, I just had to change how I got into adb.
Great job.
This is awesome, however I'm a little confused. I'm no beginner by any means, but this looks to be outside the realm of what I've done.
When I go into the terminal, am I doing this from my computer? Or my phone (via Terminal Emulator)?
Here is what I'm thinking, and please tell me if I'm wrong:
Download apk
Enter terminal emulator
Type in all of your commands
Voila?
Sorry for all the newbness on this, but I'm dying for some CRT.
Thanks man!
Nevermind, I'm a fail.
I'm downloading the Android and Java SDK now.
I downloaded the necessary files. I can't get the first part to work.
"Open Command Prompt (or Terminal) window in DX2-CRT Animation.apk's location.
Can you explain this step more? I tried right-clicking...
People set up there adb differently. Important thing is to copy file to the directory of where your adb tools are. In my case its
/sdk/platform-tools
Hope this helps

Couldn't get it to work. Even had the IT guy from my work try to get it going. We couldn't get the terminal to find swt.jar
Is it possible for me to do this through root explorer, all through my phone? Change permissions and push it into the correct folder?
That would be awesome.
I am out of town but when I get back I will try to package a zip to flash.
Are you on linux?
If I can elaborate for you here:
When you download the apk, copy it to your documents folder. The use the cd command to change the directory to your documents folder. This is assuming you have your path files set up correctly. Hope this helps!

Haha, it doesn't help. I'm clueless man. A zip file, or instructions on how to do it SOLELY from my phone (using root explorer) would be all I know.
Dying for this
I think you just need adb.
Nice work man! I'm on my way home to hook this up. This is a good excuse for me to get the Android SDK set up on my home machine.

I've spent all day trying to get it to work. No dice.
Would love a zip as well...
Well, I tried both download links in the original post and each time it would successfully boot up but no CRT animation. I finally got it figured out as I have the X2 spare parts installed and had to turn off fancy input animations and now it works. Thanks for posting this.
EDIT: I take that back. I had to put the speed of transition animations to normal and can have fancy input animations enabled. For some reason this won't work when "fast" is checked.

Do you have a pc?
I just put his file is /android-sdk-windows/tools
And followed his commands.
Just got this working. Thanks again to OP. I love this animation. Reverse would be cool. Or like a really old school crt that that has to warm up and slowly fades in. Haha.

Nope. I just have the android sdk installed. The adb is not included in the dl from google so you have to dl and extract that into the android-sdk-windows/tools
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RTEY0Q97
Then do the steps from beginning and test to confirm your device is recognized
Then proceed and follow the steps.

Why link to mega upload when all you need to do is launch the sdk manager and add the platform tools package? I'd rather get my software from the distro than some megaupload. No offense.

I would appreciate if somebody could tell me step by step on how to root my phone.
There are many different variants on the photon-torpedo method that you can find on these forums, the stickies, and through google search, but here is the step by step method I prefer. Credit goes to Edgan.
Photon Root Instructions
1. Create a folder in the C:/ drive on your Windows 7 machine called Photon root. (You can call it anything you want, but that’s what I called mine and will use for the purpose of this post).
2. Download and install the adb package from http://gititbit.ch/AFAS and install them into C:/Photon root.
3. Download photon-torpedo.tar from http://proton.cygnusx-1.org/~edgan/photon/photon-torpedo.tar and copy it to C:/Photon root in your windows machine. Do not unzip it.
4. On your phone, go to Settings > Applications > Development and select USB Debugging.
5. Plug your phone to your computer and on your phone, set it to USB Mass Storage.
6. Copy photon-torpedo.tar from C:/Photon Root to your phone’s internal storage using Windows 7. Don’t put it in any folder, and leave it zipped.
7. Install Superuser from the Market. (This is absolutely necessary to do before you get started or it won’t work)
8. Open the command prompt (Start >> run “cmd” >> enter)
9. Type the following commands – don’t worry about the errors, it will be all right
• cd C:/photon root • adb push photon-torpedo.tar /data/tmp • adb shell • cd /data/tmp • /bin/tar xf /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.tar • /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh • /data/tmp/install-su.sh
10. That's it. Reboot and enjoy.

I just verified the download, it has the adb.exe you seek, and also the photon-torpedo.tar file you'll need. It's all in a zip file, QBKing77 also includes a video on what to do.
Hope this helps.
Btw, drop a thanks on mof for the work. You might also seriously consider flashing mof's Slim ROM, it's great.

I got all the commands to work, but didn't drag the files from the Android Root file straight off my Prime to the directory where they were were supposed to go (I uploaded them to Drop box instead) So if I wanted to, could I redo the nvflash process again? Sorry for the confusing post.

If you have the AndroidRoot bootloader flashed, you can just to the "fastboot -i 0xb05 boot nvfblobgen.img" and the files will be regenerated. (Also, if you have them in dropbox, couldn't you just download them from there? )

I got it to work. Copy the build.prop file to your computer and make your changes there. Then reboot your phone into recovery (TWRP is what I used), mount System (in TWRP), ADB push the edited file back onto your phone, and then use the TWRP file manager to apply CHMOD 755 onto the file. Then reboot and enjoy.
That last step (CHMOD) may not be necessary. I never tried leaving that step out to confirm one way or the other.

I flashed the Jelly Bean update to my XT912 and used Voodoo Rootkeeper and all was fine for a week or so up until tonight when I noticed that Superuser wasn't working so I downloaded Root Check and it says "Sorry, This device does not have proper root access", then when I try to update the binary on superuser it fails on "Gaining root access" any ways to fix this?
Try this:
Extract to desktop
Make sure you have the drivers installed
Connect phone to PC
Enable USB Debugging
Enable installing unknown apps
Double click the FixRoot.bat file

oh sorry you need to make the file executable.
open a terminal window in the location of the RestoreRoot.sh file and type "chmod -x RestoreRoot.sh" without quotations.
Then you can double-click the file to run it.
