Alternate GTab Firmware - TnT 1.0.1 (2967) stock, with extra functionality

Note: Rothnic has made a newer version of this, for the 12/23/10 3389 TnT firmware. See his post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885940
This is an alternate ROM, based on the original TnT release. As always -- USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Please read up on how to flash the device and also how to back out using the vanilla ROM, if needed. This ROM is not supported by VS customer support!
Note: This will also flash kernel/system, so be aware of this. I would also highly recommend that you wipe your user data AFTER you run the main update, as it tends to increase stability.
------------------------------------------------------------
Firmware based off TnT svn #13 kernel (TnT 1.0.1, build 2967):
Version 1.0.1a1 Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?wbr4spp1thzpys9
md5sum: eb6c4712c786bb856daaa62f81b65ad7
Updated on 12/5/2010
------------------------------------------------------------
Caveats and Issues - PLEASE READ AND BE AWARE
The same caveats apply to this, as with TnT Lite. Read that post for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004
So what is this, as how is it different than TnT Lite 2.2.0?
This is an alternate firmware based on the standard TnT release. It has the same features of TnT Lite 2.2.0, with the following differences:
- All the TnT apps are retained (including the homescreen)
- ADB is disabled and no adb remount, just like stock 1.0.1. (ADB can be turned on in Settings, if you need it)
- No adfree hosts file change
What I retained from TnT Lite 2.2.0 is the speed bump, the alternative launcher (if you want to use it), the xbin folder, the altered busybox for Titanium Backup, still rooted, and a few other things.
I had two reasons for building this. One, as a way for me to check on over-the-air updates for my own device, and also as an alternative for those of you who like the TnT homescreen / apps but wanted some of the advantages of the other mods. I don't plan on working on this mod too often, but it's here if you want it.
Instructions for use are the same as TnT Lite, please see that post for details.

Will this work on top of cwm 0.8 and will it get the ota updates using cwm?

Yes, it should work fine. I actually tested the install with cwm .08.

I'd like to try this (I really liked the TnT homepage). Can I go straight from 2.2.0 lite or do I need to go back to original first? Market, Flash and Gapps still available on this one?

I did the upgrade straight over 2.2.0. I got an error at first but a factory reset fixed that (as in 2.2.0). Now I'm seeing Market, but no other Gapps. Am I missing a step?
Also getting a pop-up error that the Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped.

I had the same error - run the Market fix (the link is in my TnT Lite thread) and it should correct that. At least it did for me.
Layering this on top of 2.2.0, or anything else, should work - this replaces the kernel/ramdisk/bootloader to close to TnT stock. It's basically 95% the same as a real 1.0.1 stock change , with the addition of root, Gapps, an alternative (but not replacement) launcher, and a few other things.
I think the TnT UI is faster than stock, but it could just be my imagination - I never really played with that homescreen all that much.

Thanks again roe. will give this a whirl just for kicks.

thanks, roebeet. I tried it. Quadrant score wasn't much lower (about 2350). Interface really is bad. The speed bump didn't help, but I wanted to give it a chance. It started dragging after about 30 minutes. I restored my backup to the latest tnt lite.

Any issues with any of these hacks 'dropping' previously downloaded programs?

They shouldn't, but I would also suggest backing stuff up before any mod change (just in case). I've seen Angry Birds disappear on me at least once, and I could never pin down why. But, also keep in mind that I'm backing up and restoring very frequently.

Weird, it was angry birds that disappeared on me too. As an angry birds addict, what are you using to back up? I HATE losing my place!

Thanks for this one.... I like it a lot. Do you think updates will break any of the extras?

Most definitely, going on their last update. They will erase /system and replace it, which are where all of these updates are.
I'm not worried -- if there's an update on the 19th, they're be a TnT Lite 3.0.0 shortly thereafter and this mod is not too difficult to recreate. To be honest, I'd have done it sooner except I wanted a relatively stable Lite version and I didn't know anyone really used the stock homescreen until recent posts, here.

Titanium Backup, which is something I tested in this particular mod. Angry Birds data backups are the reason why I started using it.

Thanks for this Roe. As a complete noob, I was a bit nervous doing this, but it's really easy and absolutely works like a charm. SO SO SO much better than the stock. Not only is it unbelievably faster, it doesn't crash as much as the stock rom does lol! I have to say I'm seriously disappointed with Viewsonic, as the crap they have layered over the awesome hardware pretty much guarantees that this will be an overall flop.
I will post a word of warning. About a day after I put tnt lite on the first time I suddenly couldn't boot. About halfway through the boot sequence it would just go dead. I tried reflashing but got nothing. Tried reflashing to vanilla stock and suddenly could barely get past the viewsonic splash screen. Tried rebooting again and couldn't even get that far, and started to panic that I had bricked my tablet. As my frustration mounted I started looking for the original box to pack it up in and suddenly something occurred to me and I plugged it in.
It booted up fine after that. Proving once again that user error is the greatest obstacle to any piece of hardware or software.
Seriously tnt lite has made this little unit my go-to when on the go. Thanks for all your hard work!

When I open contacts with this one, I get a 'Sorry! The application Contacts (process.com.tapntap.contacts) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Any advice?
BTW, Roebeet, thanks so much for your hard work!

I hadn't see that one. Did you try a user data wipe? Maybe there's some old mod setting remnant in there that it's looking for? Just a guess.

Tried to reinstall TnT first but it wouldn't start the process so I went back to 2.2.0 and then back again to 1.0.1 w/EF. I got the error again (that's when I first messaged).
I've done both a factory data reset and formatted (AFTER reflashing the entire thing). Just finished all of that and got it again! DANG!

Even tried treat is as the market and stop the service and wipe the data with Ttianium. I have not idea why that works with Market but it does not work with contacts!

nevermind...I'm an idiot!

I also have the contacts crash. Has anybody fixed this issue. Other than this, everything worked great Ben got a 2437 on Quadrant.

[Q] can't download anything from market

this just happened recently ... I can't download anything from market .... all I get it this message (error processing purchase) .....
can anyone help?? any ideas?? note that I have 3.1 rooted rom on iconia a500

This seems to happen a lot with the 3.2.0 version of the market. There are a few methods to fix it:
1) Remove your account from your tablet, and then reboot and re-add your account. This sometimes works with some people,
2) If that doesn't work, it could be an issue with the 3.2.0 version. You can try and remove it and install 3.1.6 - Here is a link with some instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284647

Thank you very much , but do you know how to uninstall the existing market ?? It wont let me

i had this problem, I installed the leaked ics market and all is now well.

The link provided tells you how too. You don't really uninstall the old one. You just replace the vending.apk file and reboot your tablet. Make sure you do a backup first though!

I had a problem due to my own stupidity. I updated Civato mix with a one of his newer roms. I screwed market and despite several tries with various advice found in these forums I wound up installing Vending.apk and Finsky.apk.
I followed the usual instructions for a normal vending replacement.
Worked fine.
I discovered Finsky.apk was also being removed when attempting to delete Market via Titanium backup.

[Q]Android Market issue with buying apps.

Hello!
It's my first post so I hope everything I write here is in correct place. I wanna add that I was searching for similar threads so I think I didn't miss anything. My problem is that:
I registred at Market with my old GMAIL account, and I can download any free apps but when I wanna buy something and I press to buy for example 0.69p button I see next page and instantly message appears that: "Error has occured, please try again." I tried through my PC, I went to market and buy something, I add card etc everything happen correctly I even have my application on phone without doing anything, but still after many reboots the problem isn't solved. I have to add that I live in UK and installed CM7 today so maybe I have to update something or so. (Tried restart.)
Thank you kindly,
Rec.

are you using the new market/ what lcd_density are you using?

Well I don't even know how to update Android Market, and I just use one provided with software after installation. I downloaded from Market LCD Density for Root app and when I run It I see that default is 240, so I think this is my density, otherwise I don't know how to check it if it's wrong.
Thanks.
Edit:
Sorry I am blind I didn't provide information of ROM, it's: TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.7.3[2.3.7][A2SD][tytung r12.4v3]

use market 3.1.5. I have also this issue after using market 3.2

Can I ask how to do it ? Since I found 3.1.5 apk file but it is impossible to overwrite it or even remove higher version of market. I don't know if it matters but when I try to install for example themes etc through clockwork I also have this issue:
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

Hope it is also important.
Thank you!

Bump.
Any possibility for getting any tutorial how to do it ? I was trying a lot of methods and nothing. I would be very thankfull for any help.

I'm assuming that many people do have market working on the Typhoon build, and therefore there must be something wrong with my set up....
if everyone had to downgrade market surely the typhoon thread would be loaded with comments on it!
So I'm tempted to just go for a full blank and reinstall...task 29, reinstall CWM clear out caches and dalvik cache from CWM, reinstalled Typhoon and see....
trouble is I'm not sure if that really clears everything, and might make it work....so some advice on getting it right would be appreciated.....as it takes time to get it all set up again, as I'd assume best not to use any backed up info/data/settings from Nandroid or titaniam in case what ever is causing the problem gets restored......
Cheers again for any advice
K

So I have tried clearing caches from ROM manager, CWM, rebooting....
I can see this question asked in the Typhoon thread, at least twice with no answer (I can't yet post there).
BTW I can buy Apps from Market on the PC and it sucesfully installs on the HD2...so I think my accounts stuff is all fine.
So I guess the info I'm looking for if a specific fix is not known is "how to do a real and total wipe" - I'm confused by what Task29 does, and what I need to do to "blank" the SD card.....which I assume I should also do?
Any hints/steps?
or even any idea of if a total blank will help?

I wrote this on another thread I created.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20370071#post20370071
Hello all okay so I have another issue I ran into with Tytung's ICS ROM for the HD2.
When I go into the Marketplace I am able to download free apps and/or apps I have previously purchased but when I go to purchase a new app I get the error: "An error occurred. Please try again". I am able to purchase it online and it will send to the phone and download, I am able to purchase apps on my Motorola Defy running CM7, I have even tried wiping the the phone data & cache and wiping dalvic and re-installing but this still didn't work. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Hope you can help.

I had this same issue with Tytungs Nexus ROM, but I also had other issues where software switches would be changed e.g. mobile data etc.
When the latest update arrived I decided to do a fresh install, task29, radio, MAGLDR, format SD, the works.
Now the market purchase works perfectly, it was probably one crummy corrupt bit somewhere in the phone but couldn't find it.

Hi,
first of all thanks a lot for getting this gem available for us Mi2s users.
Testing with true dual boot, BUT installing LP on "/system" i.e system1 from CWM.
Everything good with naked Android, but now I want to install the gapps, and here it fails.
I tested gapps-lp-20141107-signed.zip and gapps-lp-20141107-small.zip (you can find it there https://yadi.sk/d/HMFRTJarcjLZq)
I first wiped /cache, /system from CWM, flashed aosp-aries-4.11.11-android-5.0.0.ivan.zip within "install from zip" in CWM.
Booted it to see how it works: fine. Rebooted to CWM and then flashed gapps.
With big gapps : no google play available, i can add a google account from the settings > accounts > add Google Account,
but then I got from Hangout, Gmail messages like "Google Play Services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance."
So framework services got a problem apparently.
with small gapps : I got a Google Play icon in the application menu, but as soon as it starts, it just closes making the screen flicker for a microsecond. And it's not possible to add google account in the Setting > Account.
Guys, any hint about that problem with gapps ?
EDIT: I will investigate the size problem of /system mentionned here http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/...-problem-wcm-11-20140608-snapshot-m7-epicmtd/ and go again for the gapps-small version.
EDIT2: even with disabling TDB the "Google Play Service" problem persists
Cheers

there is an update
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=2248477701&uk=3926100596

yeah Bucci, well actually in-between there was an update, that worked without a problem with the Gapps : 4.11.28.
Now this update (4.12.5, http://en.miui.com/thread-67452-1-1.html, better to give the real forum post, than DL link IMHO) removes built-in GMS and after manually flashing different GAPPS, it never works and Play forces closes.
I don't know what Ivan did with the integration of GMS in 4.11.28, but it worked fine :-/
PS: well okay, after wiping everything and flashing againg 4.12.5 + gapps-lp-small, that's indeed working. Forget about it.

[Q] Play store problem

Hi all, mainly Blefish,
I have problem with play store. I tried many versions of Gapps, but every single one with android 4.4.4 od 5 (from legacyhuawei) had given me same problem. I wipe everything excepr ext SDcard, flash rom, flash gapps, run phone, add wifi, add account, skip CM account and when I try to look for some apps on play store, it fails.
play store tells me "no connection" and i can "try again".
I checked hosts file, it's fine (only localhost to 127.0.0.1)
I checked date and time, it is synced with network.
I tried to clear cache, to disable play store, reboot, enable...
Nothing worked.
What can I do?
Blefish's roms seems to be fine, but without gapps I can'T do anything.
If Gapps has gmail, it synces, get mails, but sometimes tells that sync fails.
I really don't know.
Thanks for help.
Bottomline:
it's U8800.
I will really love to see @Blefish if he can find anything usable. Maybe I am just using bad gapps, because gapps source thread mentioned in his rom thread is abandoned and wiped.

Thanks.
I tried exactly that gapps you provided now, but with same issues. Account logged, play store cant connect.
