[G Tablet Android Development] MrRulas!:
I am experiencing a lot of freezes. I just went from scratch, nvflashed TnT with 1.2 bootloader, then CWM 3028, wiped cache, dalvik's, formatted data, system and cache, and then installed Clemsyn_Caulkinver8final2.

It boots, I can go over the setup stuff, but after a couple of minutes it chrashes. The screen freezes, and nothing happens. Also I disabled the swype up an swype down settings in VTL

I tried factory reset, wipe cache but keeps freezing. Any ideas?

Also tried the Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL before installing, but CWM reports its not compatible anymore.

Did you go to settings and enable video for skype. It is not enabled by default so you need to go to settings.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
What ROM were you on before the C+C V8? Are you OverClocking? If so, to what (high and low)?

There are a lot of little things that can cause your issues. An excessive OC can cause weird things to happen. A bad app can wreak havoc in a ROM. I have had to delete the LatinIME.apk (android keyboard) from every install after v6. Not sure why that is exactly, but it keeps FCing on me. I dumped both the native keyboards for the Thumb Keyboard anyway.

You may have to NVflash back to stock, and do a fresh reinstall-- or --reinstall right on top of your existing install. You may even have to repartition the internal SD card (depending on the ROM you came from). I came from a GB build-- NVflash back to stock 4349, installed CWM 2028 (via NVflash then upgraded to v3), partition SD card, install ROM, wipe user data, boot in and setup from there.

I ditched the VTL launcher for the HC launcher from syndicate apps. Its a nice addition to the HC bootscreen that Clemsyn includes. That kid knows his s**t! The HC launcher is really nice on these tabs.

I think your post may have been skipped over accidentally. Your drive may not show up if it is not formatted to FAT32. It should work after that.
[G Tablet Android Development] MrRulas!:
Hello, thanks for the replay!

:confused:.

I am coming from VeganTab 7.1.0 Bl 1.2

I didnt touch anything about OC just the defaults that came in this ROM

I always do an nvflash before switching roms.

My procedure is:

nvflash gtab.nvflash.1.2.branch.20110617

Install gtab.cwm.3028.1.2.branch.rev5 via update.zip

partition sdcard 2048 - 0

mount sd card

copy this ROM zip file

install via CWM

factory wipe

and boot.

I am very confused, its the same procedure I have done all the time for different ROMS .
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
That's more like a nuke than a fresh install. LOL.

You may just want to install right over top of the existing. Don't bother cleaning the tablet any further. No more wiping data. Fire it up and let me know if its good.

The only time(s) I've used your method is when I'm changing to GB or HC --or-- back down to Froyo from GB or HC. I now refuse to flash a GB or HC until the new kernal is done with full HW acceleration. There is no point in using HC or GB w/o HW accel.
[G Tablet Android Development] MrRulas!:
I'll try it tonight. Iĺl keep you posted. Actually I never tried to reinstall any rom without cleaning everithing before XD. Tnx for your help!

I don't know how you did it but THANKS! I haven't had SOD at all! I left it on and went to work last nite, came home and it fired up! Plus it is fast! U have made this tablet so much better. Thanks for all the hard work.

No mouse/keyboard on 7

Haven't tried 8 yet but I installed 7 on the wife's (the day before 8 got posted) & still no USB mouse or keyboard support.

From the changes listed in the OP for 8 there is nothing to suggest that it changed.
[G Tablet Android Development] tsukaza:
I am running V9 and I just plugged in my USB wired keyboard and it works.

But I tried the logitech usb wifi mouse and no go.
[G Tablet Android Development] aabbondanza:
Maybe the kernel is device specific. I tried a Gyration wireless keyboard (didn't work) and a wired Dell mouse (didn't work). Both work on stock & GTabComb.
[G Tablet Android Development] tsukaza:
Yes the stock ROM probably have the proper driver and kernel to support them.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
Uhhh, no, mouse and keyboard work. On 8 and 7. Using a USB keyboard to type this.

@tsukaza, We're on version 8, not 9.
[G Tablet Android Development] tsukaza:
I think he is having issue with WIFI USB devices.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
I guess... I have yet to have had issues with any of the devices I use with my tab. I use a bluetooth mouse and a USB keyboard. I had a USB/wireless mouse before that worked fine.
[G Tablet Android Development] markmac:
Clem, any chance we will see the final Froyo kernel in a standalone installer?
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
I know the kernal for version 7 is available (see Slatedroid SOD thread post #90). I too would like to have version 8 kernal as stand alone (very similar, but a few extra tweaks). I switched to Brilliant Corners. I'm modding the ROM to semi-emulate HoneyComb. I am going to submit a build to UOT Kitchen and have them build me a HC style flashable zip.
[G Tablet Android Development] markmac:
I am actually running BC too. Have tried Honeycomb a number of times, just doesn't seem as snappy as I like. I would also like to see the 5274 libs added to BC. Tried this a couple of times myself but keep getting bootloops or force closes.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
You may want to check Roebeets OP. He updated BC (version 1.3.1) a while back and added the hardware accel stuff and such that makes this ROM really nice.
[G Tablet Android Development] aabbondanza:
Works with SOME, NOT with others

Uhhh, yes, maybe with your mouse & keyboard, but I have 4 gTabs, 3 running CCC (v6 & 7) that I tested this on & I can tell you the following: Gyration wireless keyboard does not work, HP wireles keyboard/mouse combo - keyboard works but mouse does not, Dell wired keyboard works, wired Dell usb mouse does not work, and HP wired mouse does not work on any of the 3 tablets.

I can also tell you that all these devices work with GTab Comb (Pershoot kernel) and with stock 4349.

All I'm saying is something in kernel, rom or one of the modules is causing theses devices to not work since they work on the other 2 gTab kernels.
[G Tablet Android Development] Kate6:
Just tried this out. Skype Video works perfectly for me, and it's pretty fun to use on the tablet! And boy is this ever screaming fast.

Thank you!

(I originally had a question posted here, but I've figured out the answer myself. Thank you again!)

[bug]

What can be done with the volume control in video players?

[YOUTUBE]RNDHlziSvSM[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]tynsH4Lm9HU[/YOUTUBE]

This problem occurs if the volume control built into the player (such as Mobo, MX).
[G Tablet Android Development] derspy:
In Rockplayer does not support video h/w+audio s/w playback
[G Tablet Android Development] aabbondanza:
Rockplayer supports h/w & software decode/playback

Rockplayer does support both hardware & software decoding/playback & works great with CCC. We use it on all 4 gTabs in the house (3 with CCC). Go into settings on Rockplayer. You can either have it prompt for the type of decode or select a default mode. On install the default mode is software decode.
[G Tablet Android Development] derspy:
Rockplayer:

video h/w+audio h/w

video s/w+audio s/w

MXplayer:

video h/w+audio h/w

video s/w+audio s/w

video h/w+audio s/w - the best option for dvd-rips from audio AC3
[G Tablet Android Development] aabbondanza:
Missed the audio s/w on your post...sorry.

Installed MXPlayer & tested. As long as you set the volume BEFORE playing the video it plays normal volume. Once you touch the either the vol rocker or swipe audio in the player it automatically reduces volume. Is that what you are getting? Obviously there is some incompatibility. It's very similar to the problem I had with Moboplayer.

While Rockplayer might not be the "best option", to me it's better than a crappy sound control option.

I use Rockplayer to play dvd conversions & they play & sound fine in Rockplayer.
[G Tablet Android Development] derspy:
This problem occurs if the volume control built into the player (such as Mobo, MX).

In theory :D, with hardware decoding of longer running battery and less heat.

How do we perform the market fix for this build?
[G Tablet Android Development] dony71:
browsing internet very slow to appear especially with flash content

I have CCC ver.7 and not find any browsing issue.

When I try CCC ver.8. website takes long time to show especially with flash content

For installation, I upgrade from CCC ver.7 with CWM and clear cache and dalvik

I try also fresh installed, clear all cache and reset factory default and flash

with CWM, but website issue still happens.

Anybody experience the same? Maybe interactive governor in ver.8 causing this issue?
[G Tablet Android Development] sixstrings78:
Everything on my end loads fast. I use opera browser with the latest flash player from the market.

Sent from my 800% better Gtab with C+C vers 8!!
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
This is why I use VLC media player. The volume control is done from Android not the app. IMHO Rock player is not very good at all. The only other halfway decent one is Mobo, but it has that volume issue.
[G Tablet Android Development] dony71:
Can you try maxthon browser which comes with the ROM with latest flash ver.11 ??

Wondering why I'm the only one who has this issue?
[G Tablet Android Development] luis250:
update adobe flash player

update adobe flash is your solution :)
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
Solution for what.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
IMHO the Maxthon browser has more issues than Playboy. I really don't like that browser. I've had really good luck with Firefox on all the ROMs I've used.

Upgrading VTL launcher

I'm not sure if this is a widespread problem, but the ROM cant install the newer versions of VTL Launcher. Every time I have tried the package installer has told me that it cannot be installed... Even from the market it won't install... I'm not sure if this was addressed before, but its definitely something worth looking into...

Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] aabbondanza:
VTL Launcher is installed as a system app. You can't change it out/upgrade while it is open/running. To upgrade, install another launcher (ADW Launcher, LauncherPro, etc), switch to the other launcher & then use either Root Explorer, System App Remover or something similar to uninstall VTL Launcher. After it's uninstalled you can then install the new version of VTL, start it & then set it as the default launcher.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
You can also delete it before you install and drop in one of your choice. It needs to be the same file name.
[G Tablet Android Development] dschach:
Thanks. I suspect gtablet a hardware problem with my gtablet.
[G Tablet Android Development] aharper:
I'm new to this gTablet but have played with different ROMs on my Incredible. I goofed when starting the gTab, though. Ugh. I put a version of ClockworkMod on my gTablet that isn't compatible with bootloader 1.2. I'd like to use this ROM, though, but can't boot into CWM (only into the stock Tap 'n Tap OS).

What steps are required to get rid of the CWM on my gTab and install a version that works with this ROM?

Thanks, appreciate the help as I'm noob to this device altogether.
[G Tablet Android Development] Cobey_S:
Use nvflash to get back to stock with BL 1.2 and CWM preinstalled, then do the ROM install.
[G Tablet Android Development] dschach:
If you need help with nvflash go to http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/

There are step by step instructions to fix your gtablet.
[G Tablet Android Development] aharper:
^^ you guys are awesome, totally why I love this place.

OK, so all is back to stock. If I boot (pwr, +) I get a menu that allows me to apply internal or external update.zip files. On my phone I'm used to seeing "install zip from folder" and browsing to the ROM that I want. I have a "ROM" folder on my sdcard with the rom sitting in it... how do I get to that location to do the install (after the wipes)?
[G Tablet Android Development] Cobey_S:
You do the wipes first, then copy the ROM to the gtablet from your PC and install it.
[G Tablet Android Development] aharper:
Logically that makes sense, but I'm thinking through my phone. I've got "Clemsyn_Caulkinver8final2.zip" on my SDcard in a folder called "ROM". Once my wipes are complete, how do I perform the install?

Thanks for the quick help!

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

^^ disregard, figured it out... installed and running. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] aabbondanza:
Sounds like stock recovery

Sounds like did nvflash to stock instead of nvflash to stock with cwm preinstalled...that would account for not having "install zip from sdcard" option. When you boot to recovery does it say ClockworkMod Recovery at the top? If not go back to the dummies site & follow the instructions for ClockworkMod.
[G Tablet Android Development] arveeee:
Hey Clemsyn, would the UltimateSkypeFix work on a Bl 1.1?

BC I wanna try and use it on Vegan Tab 5.1
[G Tablet Android Development] degree210:
What should the file name be...?

Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
Actually, I just realized. It doesn't matter what the file name is. You can just replace the apk in the zip file and flash it in. I've replaced quite a few files in these ROMs. You should be using some sort of Linux OS. I haven't been able to do it in Windoze because the zip has to be unpacked.
[G Tablet Android Development] aharper:
Did a quick search and didn't find this so hopefully (?) it hasn't yet been asked. Is there a way to use Google Chat and use the video function?
[G Tablet Android Development] JowBe:
I replaced VeganTab for this ROM because I would like to use Skype. I'm having a problem. When I want to change the keyboard input language I get a force close. I get the following message:

The application Android keyboard (process com.android.inputmethod.latin) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Is there any solution for this?

SOLUTION: This was a stupid question because the answer is on page 2 of this thread. Copy the desired keyboard apk into /system/app and reboot.

Too bad I'm not able to use the FINAL VERSION 8....I'm using Version 5 for BL 1.1 AND SKYPE IS AMAZINGLY GOOD! I might stick with this until Honeycomb works 100% on Gtab (ie video...)

If someone is knowledgeable nuff to provided a 1.1 for the final version, I would appreciate it.
[G Tablet Android Development] klaberte:
what?

I just received my gtablet back from service. It came back to me with Tap UI v1.1. I used nvflash to move to bootloader 1.2, and verified that, after rebooting, I was on Tap 1.2.

Then I flashed the latest Clemsyn_Caulkinver8final2.zip. When I reboot and go to "About tablet", I see Tap UI version read Calkulin's G-Tab ROM v1.1. Not 1.2, but 1.1.

The Kernel version is 2.6.32.9 clemsyn@clemsyn-MM061 #88.

Did somehow I revert to bootloader 1.1? How did it happen?

Or am I all good?
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
Nope, your all good. I'm on 1.2 bl as well, mine did the same thing. Kinda trippy.

skype video problem

Just loaded C&C v8Final. Installed skype first from the "uninstalled apps" folder. I sign in, enable video in the settings, and tried a video call. At first, I can see my own video for a brief second, but then it all goes black. The far end never sees me, and I never see them. I tried reinstalling the latest version from the market (ver .160), but same behavior.

Any ideas?

Why do just about all my apps force close after installing version 8 especially pulse? Any ideas on how to fix it?

[G Tablet Android Development] JowBe:
I am getting the sleep of death EVERYTIME with this ROM. I came to this ROM from VeganTab 7.0, and I did not get the sleep of death. The only things I changed were the bootloader and installed this ROM.

Does anyone else have this problem with the C&C ROM?

SOLVED: Although I did it when I installed the ROM, I went back into Clockwork Mod and fixed the permissions again. I don't know why, but that solved the problem.

Does anyone know how the C&C ROM identifies the G Tab in the Market? I wanted to install the Zeam Launcher or Go Launcher, but neither of these show up in the Android Market. I can't understand this because I have a Nook Color running CM7, and these launchers show up in the Market. I actually downloaded Zeam on my Nook and transfered the apk to the GTab and it works perfectly. Is there any way to stop the Market from precluding apps?
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
It all depends on what ROM you came from. If you came from a GingerBread or HoneyComb, make sure that the apps are not spacific to any particular run of Android (this has happened to me before). If you came from another Froyo, you may want to do a CWM "wipe data/factory reset" and try installing the apps again 1 by 1. The absolute first thing I would do though, is just a good ol' reboot. Let the tablet start up and check your apps again.
[G Tablet Android Development] JowBe:
I've been using this ROM pretty successfully for a while now, and I found one problem other than the Market problem I mentioned above. There is a volume problem with every video player that I have tried except Rockplayer. There is insufficient volume with the other players, and I've tried everything including setting the volume at maximum and increasing the volume within the media player itself. It seems to be half or less of the volume that I can get with Rockplayer.

I know that it is not a problem as long as I use Rockplayer, but it still bugs me.

EDIT: I have some insight into the volume problem. Take for example MX Player. If I increase the system volume all the way, the video will play very loudly in MX Player. If I touch the volume keys or the volume slider in the program, the volume will be cut in half and I cannot increase beyond it while I'm in the program. If I go to settings and check the system volume, I find that it is half of the maximum. If I increase the system volume and go back to MX Player, the video plays loud again. In short, neither the volume keys nor the volume settings of these players work correctly when inside the player program. This is very odd.
[G Tablet Android Development] aabbondanza:
Bug in the rom or kernel

If you search this thread you will find it mentioned several times. No one has suggested a fix. The problem has been there since atleast v6. It's either a problem with the rom or kernel since I can run MX Video Player without any sound problem on my gTab w/ GTabComb v3.3 (w/pershoot kernel). I would suspect that Clemsyn would have to be the one to fix this it.

[G Tablet Android Development] benagain:
Thank you very much for the ROM. I would like to install this on my Gtab, but I've got what could be a very stupid question.

In the posting of Version 5 of this rom instructions are given:

Directions are as follows

1. Download Calkulin's Format all zip and use CWM to install it.

2. Go to Advance, and Clear Dalvik-cache

3. Then install Clem_Caulkinver5.zip

4. If you want undervolting, install PimpmyGTAB at /sdcard/RemovedApps folder

5. Do the market fix procedure to enjoy all apps

Is the installation of Format All still necessary before installing your ROM, or can I just install the Clemsyn_Caulkinver8final2.zip via CWM after using NVflash back to stock? I wasn't sure if for some reason this instruction was only for V5.

Audio Hiss

I've been searching for help, but couldn't find an answer. I have a hissing sound whenever I try to play any audio from this ROM. The only link I could find was someone on YouTube with the same issue as me. Youtube Example

Fat32

All of mine work fine. Make sure it is formatted fat32.

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

Haven't experienced it and I've had CCC on all 4 of the family's gTabs. Does it do it out of the headphone jack too? Have you tried other roms to make sure it's not the hardware? Does it do it on all audio (video & music)? Have you tried different apps to play the audio? When you go into Settings, Sound & move the Volume slider it should place a short sound file. Does it hiss during tha toot?

Al
[G Tablet Android Development] TriangleIL:
It does make the same hissing out of the headphone jack.

I haven't tried other baked ROMS, it did not have a hissing issue wiht the stock ROM however.

So far, all audio has this problem (YouTube, music, Settings slider)

It is really pretty strange... I may try to flash a different ROM just for testing purposes, but I've heard this is the best ROM out there. (and I need camera support)
[G Tablet Android Development] aabbondanza:
You could try reflashing the rom. Wouldn't be the first time a bad flash occurred. If you installed apps you want to save, back them up with Titanium backup then boot into CWM, do a factory/data reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash the rom again then back go back to the CWM main menu, reboot system now & see if it makes a difference. If sound works fine, reinstall Titanium & restore your apps.

Al
[G Tablet Android Development] aabbondanza:
Just boot to CWM, do data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik, then install rom & you will be good to go.

Market recognizes gtab as a phone?

I was wondering if there was any way to get the market to stop recognizing this rom as a phone. I was wondering if maybe the problem in my case was that I just came from Beasty's Notionink Adam/froyo combo and didn't do the wipes, besides that the rom runs fine and is as snappy as ever. Just some apps can't be downloaded because the market doesn't recognize it as a tablet.

Thanks
