Oh i've got a couple questions even though it's not getting a good review i'm probably still gonna get one. Can you get into usb debugging? Did you apply the patches? how did that affect the tablet? Can you download a terminal app? if so can "su" Whats the recovery look loke

Well that seems a little silly after reading this post.
Dear Augen Customers (GEN Nation),
Thank you for showing your support and interest in our GENTOUCH78 Tablet. We became aware of the technical difficulties over the past 24 hours, and we will be posting an update for a patch to the software at the following link: http://augen.helpserve.com/ under latest download files within the next 48 hours.

48 hour fix time? You only get that kind of a support from a custom rom dev.

Hopefully someone gets one with some dev skills or just is able to make a custom recovery. Once that happens it's on. I'm wondering if adw launcher can be installed on this thing

I also got one, there's a patch coming tomorrow for the market problem. I can't install apps with APK's in gmail either without a katcher.
It's a sweet device so far. it's resistive touch, I don't think you can turn up sensitivity but we'll see.
ES File Manager comes Pre Loaded.. you can add any app APK to the SD card. and use ES File Manager to install
Installing Quadrant, and some games right now.. I'll post back

I picked this up and I am going to be creating a dev thread on this. I am not an expert on this by any means but I did get it rooted, got Titanium Backup on it (had to install Download Crutch from my SD card than downloaded TB from an APK I found online), and got ADW on it. Runs OK, I don't like the resistive screen and I agree with others that this is a really rigged build on this device. Market issue for me too, can't wait for the update.
EDIT: Dev thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7409528#post7409528

How did you root? I'd love any info you can give. where's your thread
Edit: Quadrant got just below the Moto droid according to there results. it was around 300 or so if i remember right. it was just below the Droid. It got good and smooth FPS during the 3D tests. It has the Mali-200 GPU inside with a texture unit rate of 8 units.
Linpack it scored a 3.962 or something but then i closed it. It's charging right now.. Does anyone know why it says I have Edge service and Roaming? as well as Telelco Loco for the service where my phone says T-Mobile. hjaha

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I'm gonna shoot this damn phone

So, i noticed all my calls were dying and getting disconnected shortly after the screen goes into sleep mode
that was a major pain in the bullock, and it was very embarrassing talking to the customers and getting DC-ed every few seconds or minutes.
i had to constantly keep touch the screen to keep the phone from going into sleep mode.
so the only work around at the moment is set to phone to never sleep
and sleep only when i hit the power button.
it's a weird bug, not sure when it started, it wasn't doing this before.

Odd I've never had that problem. What are you running?

Never heard this one. It might be hard to track down so maybe a factory reset to start over might be a good option.

Can't really get mad when you're using a ROM that's currently in Beta, if you want stability then you should stick with Stock. Just sayin'

But where's the fun in that?

Maybe try asking over in the Bionix thread to let those dev's know you're having an issue.
That's a new one to me.

Love the title of this topic. I feel the same exact way so often about it, though I've never had your specific issue.
*Losing data connection constantly (and no, NoBars doesn't seem to help me with this)
*Rebooting during longer calls (though I don't have this issue as much as some seem to)
*Every SINGLE download, be it Market or Browser is always unsucessful on the first (or second, or third...) attempt
*The fact that Google hasn't fixed these and other issues
Yeah, I want to shoot my phone many times. But......for some reason, I still love it.

It's not Bionix fault.
it was something else, but can't find what was the cause
phone is back to normal, after a couple of reboots
some App, no clue which could cause this though...
maybe Fring, or Tango

this happens to me very often as well, but that's a separate issue
and i've traced it to be version specific of market
so the solution is to use an older version of market, or use a newer one, just avoid the versions that you are getting trouble with

Thanks for the tip. I assumed the Market version had something to do with it, but I wonder what the problem I'm having with Browser downloads is? I don't see a lot of people talk about it.
Also, sorry if I hijacked your thread.

Setcpu
Are you using setcpu? You can't make a profile where the phone sleeps below 800mhz bc it goes into a deep sleep

open titanium backup, press backup/restore, find download manager and downloads(right next to each other), press download manager, press wipe data, now do the same for downloads. now try downloading something, it should work.

Strange. I've had both Tango and Fring installed at some point but haven't had the issue you describe.
Good to hear that you've at least got things back to normal for the time being.

not using SetCPU
but i never had trouble even when i was using it
i stopped using SetCPU after finding out that i actually saved more battery without using SetCPU, than using it.
it also caused some minor lag, when switching between the different speed when set on demand

Yep, I'm experiencing every issue you've described here.
Hopefully we get a fix from google soon.

[Q] Can I Use Any ROM If I only Want Wifi?

I have a Verizon Tab and I dont care about being able to use it on Verizon. I am only using the wifi to connect to the internet.
Am I able to use any ROM seeing that I dont care about the internet working?

any ideas? i am interested in this as well

No, I see about 90 people have viewed this but there has been no answer.
I am not a Dev and lack a lot of skills needed to make a custom ROM.
Bit if I understand things right. All the Tabs are the same exept for the radio that is used to access the internet on a network.
But other than that all hardware is the same, so other ROMs should work just not allow you to use the internet.
I for one am using just using Wifi so I would like to be able to use some of the other ROMs.

Wow
There is still no real answering this?Up
I use my Evo and wife only for internet on my tab. It would be great if I could use any Rom out there .
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA Premium App

I was asking a developer this yesterday, he said if you take a Gsm rom and run it it will not run properly. As you are aware the radio will not work which you said is not a concern but other things will become an issue like your device being seen as a Cd drive. The frame work is totally different. If you are cool with Heidmall and have the stock Verizon image files go ahead and try it. doing major back ups of your current config. If its not working the worst thing is you will have to reapply the stock image and start over with your back ups.
CM7 for our tabs is in the works if you can wait it out a bit longer. Im not sure exactly what you expect to get from another rom??

Really I'm just looking for a little more speed and better battery life.
To me the Tab is still the best out there due to size and form factor.
But playing Anger Birds with wifi on seems to make my tab a little slower and lag.

Do you have Verizon or Sprint GT?

I can tell you there are differences. I tried to get the sprint tab running CwM using the verizon bootstrap method and my tab is borked. Completely unresponsive except for the BSOD the phone ! pc graphic. I am pretty sure I could fix with odin but I dont have a pc. I am on vacation with my macbook pro and I think I am really gonna be screwed when the battery dies.... Anyone have a solution to this?

I have nothing to support this, but I have "survived" the "phone ! pc" and I *suspect* that the "phone ! pc" has to do with low battery (or some minimal power needed, even for download mode.)
In my experience, I *had* a fully charged tab when I've seen this, so it may be some misreading, somehow. I've forced myself to take a deep breath, plug into a wall charger and walk away for ~hour. After this, I can get it to Download Mode, and reflash with stock image. Scary and random, but I think it's meant as a symbol/message to have the device *fully* charged for attempting flashing, etc.
Again, this is theory only, but I've seen that screen 2x on both a sprint & verizon tab, and patience has won the day. Good luck.

Stock VZW gingerbread 2.3.4 with root

So I just wanted to say that I flashed my vzw cdma tab with the rooted virgin stock gingerbread provided by Oldmacnut.
It works perfectly!! I had been running stock froyo with voodoo kernel...but what I have now works great.
Skype with video!
3g, gtalk with video installed using another thread here.
Adw launcher works fine...i just restored my apps with titanium.
I would have posted this on the development thread Oldmacnut started for this release but this is my very first post after following a few threads for the last couple of months.
Anyway this is what I was waiting for!
So thanks to Oldmacnut and the guys he got it from.
I'm keeping my eye on your gb rom Oldmacnut and spacemoose's honeycomb.
Thanks for all the silent help Ive gotten from XDA haha...

Does this have the screen density set tiny at 182 or standard (240)? I flashed the other de-bloated version but went back to Froyo because I got tired of squinting at everything.
If it looks the same as the de-bloated version, I'll just stick with Froyo.

Not at all...I read that about that version but like Oldmacnut said this official release looks almost exactly like froyo...except for the numbers (version, kernel, etc...)
Everything is the same size.
It's worth it.
On another note: I did try getting cwm recovery using the bootstrapper but it after wipe it stalled at the samsung logo so I put it back into download mode and reflashed the ginger stock...i don't really need cwm right but it would be nice (and a kernel i can oc)

Updated my Tab to Sprint 2.3.4, now some questions
I took my US Cellular/VZW tab and flashed using Heimdall using this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161033&highlight=sprint
It worked perfectly! I have full root (At least I think I do), all my apps were there and working, and I still had my Bluetooth devices there and working. My only issue is that in 2.2 on VZW, I could put the Tab into airplane mode and the wifi and BT would still work. I did that so I could save battery life as I only use the Tab wifi only. Now in 2.3.4, when I select airplane mode, I can get wifi but not BT. I have to disable airplane mode to get the BT to work. Does anyone know if this is a Sprint-ism or Gingerbread-ism? How about this, is it possible to turn off the radio altogether and not worry about airplane mode?

Would like to try also
I tried their download link and am unable to download the stock rom. Currently running the modified release and everything seems to work ok except a couple of items. Want to test the stock version to see if it fixes those issues, but can't seem to download the rom. The file doesn't show up when I click on the download link. Maybe just me???

I flashed this as well and it's awesome. Much prefer it to the molested version.
Bloated stuff I don't like I removed with SDX app remover.

If I remember correctly the link takes you to the Android Door website where you can download it there from Oldmacnut's blog. If there are issues with the rom I think its from how its being improved upon which I want to check out once its bug free or close enough. So the stock isn't going to have the same issues. But I can say that I haven't had any problems with it other than VZW Bootstrapper not working and not being able to find a modded kernel.

His rom is 182 but you can change it to 240 easily. I did not like the small icons I changed the setting in build.prop back to 240 and it is great.
I too have downloaded this and found it to be exceptional. Would love to post my comments on the dev site but I am too new. It is nice to have someone working on the future updates being that Verizon is focused on 10.1

I'm waiting for a kernel. But in the meanwhile I've decided to learn how to make one myself. I've been inspired by XDA and I've got a Linux machine ready. I'm in the middle of getting the neccesary packages. Never used Linux so I'll probably be done by the time they come out with Android version Jalepeno Cookies or whatever haha.

I think you can go into "Settings - Verizon Data Service" and uncheck the "Use mobile data service" and that turns off the 3G. At least least I don't have connection when I do that and have wifi off. You can also still enable bluetooth with the "mobile data service " unchecked.

Just an update...
I am still running this on my Tab with no problems.
Still keeping an eye for any custom GB kernels to pop up so I can oc and maybe use voodoo sound again or something similar. And a custom recovery.
Btw I'm putting my comments here so as not muck up the development threads.
Thanks xda!

No problems here, also, and I have to agree that this is far from "worthless". I'm a developer and closer to stock I can get, the less I have to care about whether or not some given app works on some given hacked system. Plus there's always something screwy with hacked systems. The camera doesn't work, the screen dpi is set to where I can't read it, "bloatware" is randomly removed without considering what it will alter or break by removing it, the unit simply refuses to boot after a point...it's always something. Always. I'm not slamming the hackers, lots of people use their systems and appreciate them, I'm simply citing years and years of personal experience. So yeah, the closer I am to stock, the happier I am which makes this very useful.

Where can I find the leaked stock ROM? I'm not sure I follow the suggestion to look in "dev"... link?

I've had no problems at all with 2.3.4 on the Tab, but after flashing I have had problems with the keyboard dock. It no longer automatically recognized it when docked and when I finally persuaded it to work some of the keys were remapped the pound symbol (#) became the pound sterling symbol and the " and @ exchanged places.
I use the dock quit a lot and so reverted to stock, but I do miss Skype with video!

Note 3 Keyboard

Is anyone else seeing a Note 3 Keyboard listed as installed AT THE BOTTOM of your "All" list in google play..... but not showing as installed in your "Installed" list? I am not able to find it anywhere on my device and Samsung on live chat said that they never issued a OTA with a note 3 Keyboard. This is spyware. I can not get rid of it. No matter what I do it comes back after a day or two.

Don't see that. Stock rooted mf9.

This crap won't go away. It keeps coming back. Rooted or not. I never see a notification. It just appears suddenly. I have appnotifier and it shows nothing being installed. I just appears magically. I hate this ****. Whatever it is is deeply embedded in my phone. I notice that when I do a wipe in recovery my data partition doesn't mount. Can you tell me if yours does please? You don't have to wipe anything just see if you can mount and unmount the data partition. Mine says unmounted and will not mount at all. I think this might be part of the problem. The data wipe doesn't really happen, and this Keyboard is in that part that isn't getting wiped. That is the only thing I can think on how it keeps coming back no matter what I do. PIT files and numerous firmwares, and nothing removes it permanently. If you could tell me if yours mounts...That would help me a lot. Thanks

I talked with Samsung. They said it is not a legit Samsung app and it was never rolled out to any S4 OTA or included in any OEM firmware. I think I know where it came from. Did you ever flash firmware from Galaxys4root.com? That is just a hunch of mine. May not be the source at all. But after I flashed that firmware I noticed lots of extra b.s. going on and found it. It shows on my phone, but not when I look at my play orders on my computer. Samsung said it's not really linked to Google play at all. That is why you can't leave a review or report the app. Try that and you'll see. The creator was cleaver enough to give it the appearance of a legit Google apps so that it will install on your phone without being blocked. Have you ever looked on your device for it? I can't find anything and my appnotifier and lookout never pick it up. It just magically appears once I root or allow install of apps from unknown sources.

Can anyone tell me if maybe my SIM card needs to be changed? Like is it possible that this Note 3 Keyboard keeps coming back because of the personal information or MEID contained on my phone? LIke, I did a full reflash with PIT files, and pulled the battery and did a factory reset from recovery before I let it boot. It still came back after about a day with no updates at all.
Would some of you more skilled people give me some ideas to try and maybe explain or suggest how this can be happening? Like is it possible that a new partition has been created that does not get rewritten with PIT file and firmware? Please... I want this **** off my phone! Any suggestions are gonna be appreciated and tested. I know somebody has an idea of what is happening here....Thanks for reading this.

Ever find the answer to this?

All I know is that I talked to Samsung via live chat and they said that it is not affiliated with Samsung in any way and a Note 3 keyboard should not be on any Galaxy S4. Go to live chat yourselves and ask questions. Sprint told me that I can get a new one on my warranty but there is a $50 surcharge. The Tech at sprint said it's not affiliated with Google play. It just has some of the API's to trick the phone into letting it install. I don't kow for sure where it came from. I've flashed so many ROM's and firmwares that it is impossible to pinpoint it. I got a feeling that a lot of people will find it if they look for it. At least the ones that are flashers will anyways.
I've tried deleting everything but when the new ROM loads and I look through the files, I'm still finding folders and files with week old dates on them. I'm not sure how that is happening. I'm dying to get to the bottom of this. Help me keep this thread bumped so more people will see it. Hopefully someone will give us the right info to get rid of it.

I see the same thing I'm on stock.

I would say they are full of it. That app is from Samsung. I have a friend with a Note 3 and it updated itself using that app. Now why it is showing on the S4 is probably just some glitch in there programming, or because they are working on a 4.3 update for the S4. I also have it on mine. Once the new update comes out for the S4 I suspect it will have the new keyboard and the app will then work.

Delete the Samsung keyboard lol. I did.

Well I went to the mall yesterday and a friend of mine has a note 3 and he has that keyboard as well, also the link on the playstore takes you to the korean or japanese samsung website. I am beggining to think is just a glitch. I also have the stock samsung keyboard removed and use swiftkey.

I'm certain that somebody has exploited the keyboard. It wasn't on my phone when it was stock unrooted right from the store. It only showed up after flashing back to "stock" firmware. In which one instance I was seeing lots of bogus crap going on. Apps where getting flashed right over the top of the little green android. In the applications manager you could see the little green Android behind numerous app icons. They all had a little something extra. My phone was doing all sorts of neat crap on it's own. Somebody had complete control of my device. That came from galaxys4root.com Flash that **** and you'll see for yourself. Everything was tainted. The play store, the play services It was like it was in a war, it would have two updates for the same thing showing in pull down notification window. One real, one bogus. The first time I flashed it, I just hit updtae on everything. When I noticed all the funny stuff, I re-flashed it and paid attention to all the updates. All of the Samsung apps were tainted, It would go back and forth updating and then updating back to the other. Thats what made me notice the differences. It kept updating the same apps over and over. That is when I noticed that they were different.

I did. It still shows as installed. I cut everything out. Even everything that had input devices in the name. It still shows as installed. When I factory reset it is not there for anywhere from 12 hours to 24 hours. My phone is fast as hell, scrolls like a champ and the battery lasts all day on one charge. Like 16 to 18 hours. As soon as that keyboard shows up it slows down, acts funny and gets laggy. The battery is disappearing like crazy. I have to charge it twice a day to make it till I get home. It might be a legit app for many, but I'm positive that someone has exploited the app and is using it in firmware as a information collector, and it does not go away no matter what I do. I'm wondering if it is in my efs partition... if that is even possible. What I know is that with Android, almost anything is possible. If you can think it, someone can code it.
