[OLD VERSION][ROM] Vanilla AOSP Gingerbread (updated 20110329)

---

Vanilla Flavored AOSP

Gtablet AOSP is a project for pure vanilla Android with the Gtablet. It aims to be barebones and as true to the AOSP code as possible. The Google AOSP code is modified as little as possible to provide functionality, and the ability to boot. It is stripped down for modification by the end user.

Using CyanogenMod device files, Pershoot's latest kernel (20110328, 2.6.32.36), and some cherry picked cyanogenmod/nv-tegra files, a functional 'rom' and a github repo for this project has been created. As functionality has been added since inception, more pieces from Cyanogen are making there way in (browser fix and tweaks, some under the hood stuff, internal storage fixes, etc) to improve overall experience. All variances from original AOSP code is visible via the public git.

Huge props to the Gtablet and the Cyanogen development community. Without your work, this wouldn't be possible.

Huge thanks to EJHart for his direct assistance with this project. Also, thanks to Bekit, Pershoot, GoJimi, Cyanogenmod team, Google... and I am probably missing others... This project would not be where it is without all of their work.

To use this rom, you will use ClockwordMod to flash the zip file as you would any other rom. I have only used ClockworkMod .8 in my testing.

DISCLAIMER: I cannot be held liable for anything you do to your GTablet. Make sure you are comfortable with recovery tools, such as nvflash, before proceeding. Though the rom is quite functional and stable in basic testing, this project is in early beta stages.

BUILD YOUR OWN:

GitHub -- https://github.com/aosp-gtablet

Use this project from github to create your own image:
repo init -u git://github.com/aosp-gtablet/gtablet-aosp.git

The process for CM7 will work. Run extract-files.sh, run envsetup.sh, lunch, make -j[X] bacon. Anything more is outside the scope of this post.

** Additional notes -- GoJimi's Soft Buttons are available in the source code, but are disabled in this release.

I am a minimalist, and I know there are others. I hope others enjoy, and help make this a better project
Please let me know what bugs you find so I can work on them! Thanks.

Sold! Will give this a try and report back. Nice writeup too. Is it true, development only available on linux?

Thanks.
I have done all my work in Linux, so I wouldn't know of any other way to create an image. Sorry.

Holy crap! This rom is whip fast! Have you installed gapps or monitored battery life on it yet?

I have installed GAPPS, they work with the exception of the same Market/My Apps bug found in the CyanogenMod rom. I think it's fast too. I have not run battery test, or benchmarked it thoroughly. Someone has already recommended a possible fix for the 3d textures, that might help Quadrant run successfully. Without textures and all, I did get one run of Quadrant to complete (after numerous tries) and received a ~2100 score. Not the best, I know, but it still seems very snappy.

Not a quadrant user myself. Just the feel of it is impressive. I will report back with battery stats tomorrow.

Solid work getting this to the masses. Thanks.

What's with the weird Japanese keyboard and application that's included?

I assume you're asking about the Input Method options? I did not customize those, it's built with the full build of AOSP.

Please confirm what app you are talking about.

Has anyone tried MarketEnabler to see if it fixes the market issue?

just an FYI not sure what reports are coming in about it not working with 3.0.0.5 of CWM, but I was able to install it running 3.0.0.5.
