Hi,
I've purchased one of these tablets - i've tried searching for info on how to root, etc and possibly put another rom on so i can access all my apps that previously installed through marketplace but unlike normal rooting of an android phone the procedure for tablets seems to be all over the place
or would it be easier to just put my mobile sim into an android phone - redownload all the apps and then back them up and restore them on a tablet
thanks
Slatedroid.com have section on their forum for the Hannspree, with details on rooting, google market and a custom rom to get rid of Tap n Tap UI.
My 2 cents:
Follow the rooting and gapps guide on slatedroid at
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/20232-guide-hannspad-rooting/
Install market and take it from there. You can also side-load apps from another phone, but that doesnt work quite as well for some (albeit few) apps.
I changed the launcher from the TnT (yuk) to VTL Launcher and it has made a WORLD of difference.
Also, look in the other G Tablet forums for stuff coming over from the Notion Ink camp (Adam).
For the price the Hannspads are going for, they're a steal....

thanks for the replies, but i'm looking at returning (unless someone can say if rooting, etc will resolve laggyness, etc) this product due to the number of issues i've experienced with it in less than 48 hours
I've had to reset it 20 times because of it freezing and being unresponsive - even at power on it was hanging at one time for 15 mins on the tap'n'tap logo - had to reset the go into recovery to sort it out - it also kept freezing when finally got to the lockscreen so couldn't actually unlock the device - in the basic menus it kept freezing and the same when running apps - overall very disappointed especially as my lg optimus 2x performed better.

I didnt had the issues you had. iam using flashback hc on this tab and it worls like a charm. i wish we had a dedicated forum
Sent from my Flashback 6.0 using Tapatalk
i ended up installing tntlite from slatedroid link and the tablet is a lot more responsive - only prob is with the recent apps every now and then appearing
i've now got access to all my market apps i had previously on my phones so at the moment a lot happier with it
since doing it, a couple of people i know want their's doing after seeing the difference it makes
also found there is a 1653 version as well which has better screen display and doesnt crash as much on stock rom than the 1633
It seems that many, if not all, of the apps I try to 'update' in the Android market generates an error on the Prime that says 'Application already exists' in the menu bar with an ! icon. This is annoying... I can uninstall / reinstall the app to get an update, but whenever I just click update in the Market, I get this error a lot.
Of course the application already exists! I'm updating it. Stupid Prime.
Does anyone have a fix for this? I searched the forum and didn't see anyone mention this annoying problem.
Are you getting system reboots?
Rumour has it the system reboots are a result of a failure while optimizing apps for ICS during the upgrade process.
Sounds like perhaps your OSs view of your apps is a little messed up...

No. Actually, I seem to have the least amount of problems with the Prime compared to most on the forum. Really, this issue and the weak GPS signal are the only ones I've had. Well, and the decreased wifi bandwidth when streaming bluetooth. But everything else generally runs smooth.
Two apps for example that I had this issue with... updating Google Voice and eTrade. Both of those for sure gave me the error that the app already existed. Uninstalling and reinstalling worked fine to grab the latest version.
Actually, I take that back. Sometimes when I do an uninstall / reinstall, it still says there is an update available.

Unfortunately I have the same issue. I haven't found a good way to work around it yet. As you have found sometimes uninstalling works and sometimes not.
Sometimes uninstalling it, rebooting the Prime, then reinstalling it works. Although, that's still sometimes as far as I can tell.
I've just started getting this issue when trying to update Officesuite Pro, first time it's happened.
Oddly enough when first typing this reply my Prime locked up and rebooted itself, which it's not done before.
Never had a reboot under ICS, at least not yet. But quite frequently have this problem. So I guess there is no correlation between the two.
The only anomalies that I experience are Skype or Talk video calls that suddenly die. No FC or any other message, Skype or Talk just exit.
I bet these types of problems will go away with a root and a custom rom in the future. Wish Asus would release the bootloader unlocking tool already!
Try clearing the dalvik cache?

Can you do that on a non-rooted Prime? I'm just waiting for the official unlock tool to go through that process.
This has happened to me on select apps too. Particularly xe app and officesuite pro. Can't seam to update them to the current version no matter what I do. Unistall/reinstall, clear delvik, and clear market data hasn't worked for me

I have the same problem, and i tried everything but it didn't work
Yeah... right now for me, it's Google Voice. And the worst part is, you can't get it to stop saying it's updating the market app even though it stops almost immediately. Annoying.
I get this sometimes, but I press update again and it updates fine

Random reboot is a normal way of life with android. A reboot here or there is nothing to worry about. Most of the time its from a bad app you installed. Now if you rebooting several times a day, then that's a problem. Its actually good to reboot or at least power down n then back on device every once in a while. It'll give device a fresh start on RAM and clear any mishaps that may have or could occur. Same deal with Ipad. They recommend rebooting every now n then for a fresh start and to have more ram available for use.
I haven't had this happen on my Prime, but I was having this same issue today on my Sprint GSII.
Not sure if this is a work around, but it just worked for me. Instead of updating the app from the 'my apps' section of the market, I went to the page in the market with the full app description. I clicked the update link there and it installed fine. I'll have to test this theory out more.
i too am facing similar probs. while updating WhatsApp and Skype too it shows that the application is already existing.
pls. note. both WhatsApp and Skype are under different Accounts
can this cause a prob that previously i would have installed it by 1 account and later on by another account when i changed the phone ?
pls. guide.
Hi,
My s5 has been randomly rebooting. Sometimes, it has happening when I am on the call, or in the mid night. Is any one has the same issue? Is the phone defective or hardware problem? My phone is never rooted.

I have been having the same issue. I have had the phone since release and haven't had any problem, until about a month ago. It has rebooted a few times randomly. I am completely stock non-rooted.
I got one time today when I opened the YouTube app. I uninstall the update for the YouTube, and see what is going on
So I've noticed this happening for a few weeks now. Thought something was wrong with the phone and did a warranty replacement. New phone (not referb) does the same thing, just not as often. I think maybe it's an app running in the background now that had a bad update. I'm in the process of removing apps to see if it still happens.

It has happened last mid night again. In today moring, I found my phone restart one time, because I saw the popup notice for reminding the back cover that means the phone restart already. Please tell us what happen after you remove the apps. I think it is the software problem rather than the hardware problem. I don't want to get replacement phone because it is refurbished phone.

Well I'm still trying to determine which app is causing it. For all I know, it could be the firmware T-mo pushed out prior to the latest one. T-mo says they haven't had reports on this issue so I don't want to blame the FW right off the bat. I have ruled out about 70% of my apps and right now have about 5 uninstalled and phone hasn't restarted in 3 days. Below is are the apps I have yet to try and the ones currently removed.
Current Removed:
Code:
'Disable Increasing Ring'
'netflix'
'uber'
'hbo go'
'battery widget'
'2x rdp client'
'pandora'
Yet to try:
Code:
Google Maps
Facebook
Chrome
chromecast
hangouts
tinder
lookout security
Touchpal Keyboard

Might help if you let me know which ones you have in common above. FYI, I also tried removing my sd card like I saw in a few forums. Also, Tmobile says they don't give you referb phones. They give new phones that were returned to the store within a few days. So openbox, mine looked perfect.

I just do some research online. Many articles are talking about that the android 4.4.2 has randomly reboot bug. I think this the common bug for the 4.4.2. Hopefully, the 5.0 is rolling out for international version. I think t-mobile will update the s5 to 5.0 soon.
Its the 4.4.2 firmware. Its because of all the apps updating to the new lollipop 5.0 but where still on kit Kat. Remember now these apps are set to run on art now so i believe there conflict between the dalvik thats the norm. On 4.4.2. I noticed if i run my SM-G900T 4.4.2 in art mode the rebooting stops. So at the end of the day this means when 5.0 is released to our S5 the reboots should stop. If your bothered by the reboots just run the 4.4.2 in art mode. Good day☺

I just turn off the VoLTE, and the phone runs for 10 days without any reboots. Do you think it is the problem of the VoLTE?

Could be.? I'm just making an educated guess that it's the fact that when our apps like YouTube, Gmail ,ect.. updated it seems that's when my reboots started. Volte could be a cause to. Your guess is as good as mine. But I truly believe it's the fact that the updated app where modified to art and 4.4.2 is dalvik. ?? I'm sure when the 5 update comes this will be resolved ☺

1.) Go into Settings, and About Device. Where it says: Build number press on this over and over again until it gives you the Toast message: Developer Options Turned On (something to that effect).
2.) Go back into Settings, and just below Security and above About device, you will see Developer options. Open this.
3.) 4th Item down is: Select runtime system. It should say: Use Dalvik. Change this option to: Use ART. It should work for a little bit, then Reboot your phone.
4.) All done!
Note: If you plan to Root your phone, and use Xposed, it is NOT compatible with ART runtime. If you plan to stay unrooted, or not use Xposed if you do root, then you are fine. You can always switch back if you decide to do this.
Hi Guys!,
So I recently updated to the new 5.0.1 update (I'm sure most of you did) on my LG G Watch and I've been getting lag issues that I've never gotten on the Kitkat version.
So I did a factory reset and still were getting issues. Most of the lag has to do with getting around the watch as well as the "Android System not responding" popup message. I think
the lag has to do with memory, like if I use a bunch of apps at once it would slow down but I could never prove that. I'm not rooted or anything. Anyways,
[Q] I would like to see if you guys were also noticing lag or performance weakening after the 5.0.1 update? Let me know!
Thanks,
Your buddy Andrew!
(this is my first thread, if I did this wrong or if this is in the wrong place let me know)
I'm seeing the same... Probably another update coming soon
Try uninstalling some Wear apps it could very be that some apps are not ready for Android 5.0
On mine it works actually A LOT MORE fluid too!
I had this same problem after taking the update. So I reset the watch, cleared the data on the phone's wear app, and resync'd all the apps.
One of those things fixed the problem.

its work , thank you
Any stuttering or lag issues I had were gone after flashing the arter kernel, if that helps
I've noticed at first it was working great. I'm noticing wear aware is damn near useless. That alone tells me it isn't communicating as often or been trimmed back on cpu wakelocks or something
I'm on TMO version converted to intl.
How do I update to latest image?
I'm still on DE2117_11_c.15.
I'm rooted.
I have not tried this, just throwing it out there. There is a app called Oxygen Updater on the play store. Might be worth checking out.
UPDATE: so it looks like this app supports both full and incremental updates on the n200. If you are rooted, however, the incremental updates wont work. As far as supporting one of these frankenstein n200's, uncharted waters my friend.
Yes, I can't do the incremental update. What a pain in the asss...
I removed root and updated. Will reroot later.

I always post the latest DE2117 masgisk patched boot.img file in this thread. To take partial updates, you do have to be unrooted/clean os to get to C_18 now.
I decided to install lineage. Want to see how it does on this phone.
Lineage actually runs worlds away better than the vanilla 12 rom. It does have a couple of issues currently that I couldnt find a work around for, so went back to stock. Many thanks to scanman0 for the stock\patched boot images; hes saving many people countless hours dealing with getting these images how he is.

What kinds of issues are u having with lineage?
Ok well this is going to probably sound petty, and would not have an effect on most users I believe, but yeah I can't get a couple of games to load. Heres the thing: the games are Netflix android games... And something tells me its a DRM\Webkit\etc issue and not really Lineages fault. I DID have magisk installed, however that never had any effect on Netflix for me; It just always worked without issue.
There were a couple of other little annoyances, but no show stopper errors or crashes and it ran buttery smooth without any of the hiccups it seems like stock roms had\have.

Only issue I had was (mostly) with a game. While playing Pokemon GO the display would just go all black for a couple seconds as if it were disconnected, then come back. It would happen randomly and several times in a row in quick succession. Never figured out what was causing it so went back to stock.

do you use magisk?
if yes, go to magisk app, then press uninstall, then press restore images.
if you get the message "stock image backup not found", then you can't do it this way.
do not reboot.
go to oxygen updater then download the incremental
after that, go to the oneplus software update app which lets you do local upgrade and then press install on the .zip file
do not reboot yet, go to magisk and press install, then install to inactive slot
after that, press the reboot button in magisk.
