Now that you have ClockworkMod Recovery 8 installed, you are almost there. \u00a0There are many ways to install ROM’s on Android devices, but I find this one is the one that will work well with many of them on your device. \u00a0Other methods don’t work well with particular ROM’s. \u00a0And I think this one doesn’t work particularly well with earlier versions of TNT Lite. \u00a0But for the most part it is pretty standard.<\/p>\n
I have CyanogenMod 7 currently installed on my G Tablet. \u00a0I started with Vegan 5. \u00a0Why? \u00a0Because that’s what my co-worker used on his tablet. \u00a0And since it was working fine on his I figured I would start there. \u00a0 Whichever you use just make sure you have the proper zip files. \u00a0For Vegan 5 you will want the\u00a0gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.1.user.final.zip file. \u00a0You can download it from\u00a0http:\/\/vegantab.gojimi.com\/downloads\/<\/a>. \u00a0Also make sure you get the supplement file\u00a0gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.11.suppl.zip. \u00a0It has some additional fixes for the ROM. \u00a0It can be downloaded at\u00a0http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/?jhq1cnu5wgkg3j5<\/a>. \u00a0There are lesser CyanogenMod files than 7, but they really aren’t worth the effort IMO. \u00a0Just go ahead and get the 7 Final release from the cyanogen.mod site. \u00a0If you go to the Wiki link at the top it will take you to a great step by step download page and instructions for installing this rom. \u00a0Get the Final release zip and get the accompanying Google apps install file. \u00a0You will need that as well. \u00a0Once you have all of your zip files downloaded, place them on your microsd card for use in the install process. \u00a0You can leave the ClockworkMod Recovery files on as well in case you need to re-install the file. \u00a0 It will happen sometimes that the first flash of any of these ROM’s won’t take. \u00a0So you may need to install a second time. \u00a0No worries on that front. \u00a0If life and installs were always perfect it would be boring, yes? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n A quick note which you have probably already figured out at this point…how to get files onto your microSD. \u00a0Either you can power up and connect the tablet via usb to your pc for copying of files to it, or if your usb connection shows the internal SD of the tablet and not the card, copy the zip files there and then use File Manager on the tablet to copy them to the root of the card. \u00a0And in general I keep all of my install zips at root level for ease seeing them in Clockwork Recovery.<\/p>\n Okay, now that you have the install files good to go on the SD (internal and\/or external), power off the unit then boot into Recovery mode via the Volume + and Power buttons. \u00a0Again you will see the notice recovery key detected. \u00a0Let go and wait for the menu options to appear. \u00a0Once they do, use the volume button to scroll through your options and the Home icon to select the option you want. \u00a0Before any system install peform a wipe data\/factory reset, then perform a wipe cache partition. \u00a0Additionally you may want to select advanced and perform a wipe Dalvik cache. \u00a0The reason why is because you want to make sure that no cached files from another ROM will interfere with your install. \u00a0Once you have done all of your wipes, select\u00a0install zip from sdcard from the main menu. \u00a0Then select choose zip from sdcard. \u00a0This will then show you your options that you downloaded to the tablet. \u00a0If you are installing Vegan first install the main zip file then the supplemental. \u00a0If you are installing CynanogenMod 7 install the main zip file then the Google apps file after. \u00a0 Once installs are complete select reboot system now and you should be on your way to happiness (I hope).<\/p>\n How will you know you were successful? \u00a0As your unit reboots you will probably still see the Viewsonic birds. \u00a0But from there the view will probably be different. \u00a0You may or may not see the G Tablet logo. \u00a0More often than not you will see the word ANDROID on your screen and then a new boot animation. \u00a0After the boot animation you will have to through the steps to log into your Google account. \u00a0This will allow for syncing of accounts and access to the Market. \u00a0In some instances you might be caught in a bootloop when your unit reboots. \u00a0If so, don’t worry. \u00a0Just press the appropriate buttons to get back into Clockwork recovery and flash the appropriate zip files again. \u00a0It may take a couple of times to correctly install. \u00a0If it doesn’t correct the bootloop, boot back into recovery, perform the wipes again, then restore your backup from the menu. \u00a0This will at least take you back to square one so you can do some reading on how to proceed from a bootloop error.<\/p>\n Remember, no matter what happens it is almost impossible to completely jack up your tablet. \u00a0So have no fear. Now that you have ClockworkMod Recovery 8 installed, you are almost there. \u00a0There are many ways to install ROM’s on Android devices, but I find this one is the one that will work well with many of them on your device. \u00a0Other methods don’t work well with particular ROM’s. \u00a0And I think this one doesn’t … [Read more…]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,27,31],"tags":[25,26,35,37,29,30,36],"class_list":{"0":"entry","1":"post","2":"publish","3":"author-admin","4":"post-129","6":"format-standard","7":"category-android","8":"category-android-rooting","9":"category-android-toys","10":"post_tag-android-2","11":"post_tag-android-market","12":"post_tag-clockworkmod","13":"post_tag-cyanogenmod-rom","14":"post_tag-g-tablet","15":"post_tag-root","16":"post_tag-vegan-rom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kevware.com\/geek\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kevware.com\/geek\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kevware.com\/geek\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kevware.com\/geek\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kevware.com\/geek\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.kevware.com\/geek\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":131,"href":"https:\/\/www.kevware.com\/geek\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129\/revisions\/131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kevware.com\/geek\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kevware.com\/geek\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kevware.com\/geek\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
