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Note: Rothnic has made a newer version of this, for the 12/23/10 3389 TnT firmware.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

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.
