Kernal Bluetooth GPS

BTW, anyone here in the US willing to lend me a USB GPS? I would really like to get this working. I don't need one right away since I have to return this Gtab in a couple of days. I'm hoping he will lend this to me next week. I prefer a chipset of PL2303 since I got this build in the kernel but I guess any would do. Please let me know.

Bluetooth GPS does work with my Ambicom SIRF chip-set match with Bluetooth GPS provider apk Google maps accurate to 2 meters

How are you making calls? Through Google Voice? You didn't need to install something like Sipdroid?
[G Tablet Android Development] imdaman99:
I tried this method, and while it did change once I had my old settings menu up, it reverted back to unclickable once I rollbacked to the original menu settings :(

And devlop, I tried your method too. I placed the thumb keyboard apk into my system/app folder and rebooted, but it didn't do anything. Not that $2 is a lot, but I really wanted to make this keyboard work.
[G Tablet Android Development] bso44:
Now do a search in the Market and just long press in the text box. A prompt for input method should pop up and then you select Thumb Keyboard.

Clem- I have a USB/BT GPS that you can use, check your email.

Can I also ask,

what is the target objective of this ROM

? For example, is the main objective operating faster .. or operating more stable .. than current options, such as VEGAn?

I'll start testing if it's intended to be more stable. However, if you had created it for performance or some other primary objective that wasn't in other releases, I suppose I'll stick with VEGAn.

At this point, we're focused entirely on stability -- the performance is absolutely sufficient with the current VEGAn + Clemsyn, from our perspective.

Thank you in advance!

Does anyone else find that this download site doesn't allow you to scroll the webpage, and that the link is off the visible viewport so you can't get to it? Is it just me? Tried stock and Dolphin browsers.

Edit: downloaded Opera Mini and now I can scroll the page but the countdown timer to get a download link craps out at 98 seconds.

Is it just me?

Sent from my Viewsonic G-tablet
[G Tablet Android Development] devlop:
Yeah, now that you've moved the apk to the system/app folder, it will show up as a system app. There will not be a box you can check.
[G Tablet Android Development] devlop:
I was having that problem too with Xscope and Dolphin mini on my gtab, and the stock browser on my Incredible. I just ended up going to my computer and downloading it. I couldn't even see the slow download button.
[G Tablet Android Development] 1Brite1:
Well, I always try all of the roms and the ones that have left the phone functions in, I try to see if the phone will even dial or make a dial tone. With this combo, I tried it and it automatically opened up Skype. I do have an account with them but have never used it. So, I logged in and dialed my cell phone number and voila.....it worked. It works with Fring and Yahoo Video Messenger also. I haven't tried QIK yet. It is working for me by wirelessly hooking it up to my EVO. This is the first time that a rom....any of them...even for my EVO have worked like this without using and configuring SIP or one of the other sometimes complicated to configure phone software programs.....So...I am happy...pretty kewl using video chat on that big gTab screen!

USB Sound?

I have a usb sound card (usb on one side, headphone and mic on the other) that I use with my laptop. Is there any hope of using this on my gtablet running this ROM? How might it be done?

Many thanks!

Stability issues

I've noticed problems with worsening stability with each subsequent version of Clem + Calkulin. I originally had Calk v1.1 with the Clem v8 kernel installed manually which worked great. I moved to the Clem/Calk v3, which was OK (not noticeably better) but then started having freezes (white/blue/green/red screen of death), usually when taxing the system with Flash or video.

Clem/Calk v5 was worse, freezing at unpredictable times (even for something as simple as opening a new tab in Dolphin). After a couple of freezes, I couldn't even get past the animation screen on boot.

I then had a brief fling with Vegan GE RC1 (then it froze and wouldn't get past the splash screen after the birds on reboot).

I finally went back to the Calk v1.1/Clem v8 combo and haven't had issues (yet, though I've only been back a short while - crossing my fingers).

For those who know more about this than I do: could the instability (freezes primarily, though no real increase in FCs or other peccadillos) be due to OC or UV? I messed around with the Pimpmycpu settings a bit, but wasn't really sure what I was doing other than limiting the top end.

Anyone else with these problems or with any ideas?

Thanks.

Where is the GPS setting Page???

I'm on BL 1.1 and loving this extremely fast rom. I've paired my BT-308 Ext. GPS to my G-tab and used BlueGPS to get location service going like when I was on Vegan 5.1.1 However, I could not find the location setting in "System Setting". If I open Navigation on my G-tab it will ask if I want to go to Location Setting and If I say yes then it'll direct me to the Privacy setting page which has nothing to do with GPS. Can someone help???
[G Tablet Android Development] fre1102:
I just started investigating this ROM after deciding to bail on Brilliant Corners.

The phone works? What are you doing with the phone functions on a Gtab? I ask because I wanted to get Google Voice working on my GTab but couldn't--it keeps trying to confirm the cell number on the GTab...which of course it doesn't have.

Stuck on Nvdia Tegra 2 Peacock screen

Yesterday I installed Caulkins+clemsyn's combo 1.5. When i started it this morning the gtab kept getting stuck on the honeycombs screen and I could not access CWM only stock recovery. I reflashed the NVflash/CWM rom when it rebooted it went to 3 birds then gTablet then to "With TapNTap" screen and then to the peacock logo and went into a loop through those 2 screens "With TapNTap" screen and then to the peacock logo. So I went to CWM did the wipe/factory reset, wipe partition, wipe Dalvik. I then install the Caulkins+clemsyns mod (from the internal sd card "ROM")and then reboot from system. When rebooting it went to the 3 birds screen then to the NVIDIA Tegra 2 screen until I hold the power button for about 20 seconds and it then turns off. I can still boot to CWM.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
Did youvflash version 5 or 6? If you read the OP you may have flashed the wrong version. You should NVflash back to stock 4349 on 1.2 black and try version 6.
[G Tablet Android Development] fre1102:
Man, I love this ROM.

But what do you do for a keyboard? I can't install any third-party keyboards. Thumb Keyboard isn't working, like on the OEM TnT setup--it won't allow other keyboards to be used. Surely this ROM doesn't lock out other keyboards...right?
[G Tablet Android Development] Radon_22:
Your solution the the keyboard issue is found elsewhere in this thread. :)

Short answer:

Install the apk.

Using Root Explorer copy the apk from data/apps/ to system/apps/.

Reboot.

In something that has a textbox like Market, long-press and select "input method".

Select the keyboard you've installed.

Enjoy!

I agree with your assesment of this Rom: It's snappy as heck, supports hardware video acceleration, and keeps the best parts of Tap 'n Tap while removing the rest.
[G Tablet Android Development] fre1102:
I agree--the ROM keeps the best parts of TnT and is all kinds of speedy.

I tried your method--after I install the .apk, it's not showing up in data/app. In fact, data/app is empty. It's usually operator error on my end...any tips?
[G Tablet Android Development] fre1102:
That did it. Thanks.

[G Tablet Android Development] midirt:
Please help!

I've flashed from stock (bootloader 1.2) into gtabcomb - it worked OK but I didn't like the constant status bar. So I flashed this one (with same CWM, partitioning, formatting, clearing cache first). It worked OK for about 30 min. I got a couple of freezes, adjusted the script for lover overclock of 1.2. Then I installed thumb keyboard, started getting some FCs and now it's stuck on the white splashscreen with birds. Vol+ and power don't work, can't get into recovery mode...

What do I do now??? Did I do anything wrong?
[G Tablet Android Development] tsukaza:
Do a complete NVflash to stock BL 1.2 latest stock ROM, and then install what ever ROM you like. Good luck.
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
LOL, Im back guys, I apologize for being away for awhile, but I was quite busy with the Asus kernel. I need to update this though :) and try to mix a few things with some stuff I learned from Asus :)

BTW, no way am I returning my Gtab :) Kids are having too much fun with it. Also I bought it here in the forums so no way in returning it :) Give me time though coz I need to learn back the 2.6.32 kernel and Froyo.
[G Tablet Android Development] viskon:
Nice to see you back. You might be interested in the kernel development efforts for the grab on slatedroid.com. The team is very near to having a working kernel for HC 3.2. Your expertise is very much appreciated.

First off let me say that this is my favorite rom on my tablet!! It's smooth and i love the intergration of the tap n tap interface along with vtl!! Thanks for all your hard work!

I do have a question, I put two facebook sync files in system/apps via root explorer and now it appears to sync the fb contacts but yet i cant get them to actually display with pics in my contacts list. Any ideas anyone on how to fix this?

These are the two files i put in and changed the permissions on both to rw-r--r--, then rebooted. Thanks

Thank you Clemsyn, love your kernel, dling and will flash and test it real soon.
[G Tablet Android Development] tsukaza:
Flashed my gtab and I am very happy, flash player 10.3.186.6 runs better then all the other ROM I have used using the default browser, no drop out when streaming movies :)

So far so good, will try market later. Thanks again.
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
I suggest you try the latest maxthon browser :) Also the flash player installed was for honeycomb so I suggest to uninstall it an install the latest from the market.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
Updated as you suggested for flash. The Maxthon Browser is nice. Is the kernal also different from your regular Froyo kernal? ROM is fast and smooth. Did your update include fixes from stock 5274 (like hardware accel being fixed and such)?
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
Version 7 Final is up ;)
[G Tablet Android Development] Abu-7abash:
This is froyo only right?

Am running the latest now, OC at 1.6Ghz, it is beautiful. Going to shake it down to see how it runs. Thanks.

[G Tablet Android Development] Cobey_S:
Bad day - it's listed as incompatible with my tablet and this rom :(

Wifi is outstanding. Signal is great. Speed is good too. It almost seems like the N speed is working.

*edit* 1080p plays, 720p mp4 plays, no mkv movie playback with sound. 1080p crashes rock player instantly. Deleted rock player and installed Mobo player.

Clemsyn, can you put up a link for the kernal alone (flashable zip style)? I would like to try it with other ROMs.
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
Sure, here is the link

You might want to undervolt using pimpmycpu. The kernel so far has given my gtab the best OC at 1600000 with 1.275 mv, way better than my transformer.

The VTL Launcher seems to hang for me. There is a newer version in the market but it won't install. Is it possible to update the launcher?
[G Tablet Android Development] tenet420:
@dschach

I'm pretty sure the new Vegan7.1 has the updated VTL. Download the ROM and unzip it; pull the launcher apk from system apps and sideload it using an installer like ES or Root Explorer.
[G Tablet Android Development] aabbondanza:
VTL Launcher has a bug that causes a blank notificatin that freezes the tablet. If this is what you are getting, go into vtl settings, choose none for swiping up and swiping down, and then also choose to never hide task bar. After this, the blank notification will never appear again.
[G Tablet Android Development] tsukaza:
Clemsyn , can you provide a break down of the under volt scheme you are using, thanks

[G Tablet Android Development] Cobey_S:
Perhaps a silly question, but does anyone else have issues with gif support in web browsers and this ROM? I looked around but didn't note anything that might be ad blocking or the like in it's makeup, and the same sites load just ducky on my Epic with the same browser and sites.
[G Tablet Android Development] tsukaza:
All the sites I visited looks fine.
[G Tablet Android Development] Cobey_S:
Thanks! Maybe it's just me having goofed something. The specific sites I can always see the issue is on Facebook (Dolphin HD, desktop mode), and some site another user with the same issue pointed out: http://indiantrailweather.com/ Lots of little question mark boxes on that last one.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
The native browser shows some missing images in your reference site above, Firefox is missing alot of pics, the Maxthon browser is the same as the native browser.
[G Tablet Android Development] Cobey_S:
Ok, it's not just me then. The only browser that doesn't have this issue that I've found is Opera, and I'm guessing because of it's proxy and compression setup.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
I've had more issues than Playboy with the Opera browser. I use Firefox and the native mostly. Firefox for work related things (must have IE7 or Firefox to play certain content).
[G Tablet Android Development] Cobey_S:
LOL I'm not a fan of it either. There is one site I need to use it, as it's the only browser that lets me interact with the forums there. Dolphin HD is my normal browser, but I try out every one of them I come across.
[G Tablet Android Development] tsukaza:
I tried http://indiantrailweather.com and it looks fine to me. Did you do a complete option 3 type install?

Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] Cobey_S:

Its only going to over clock if your battery is at or over 90%. The tegra2 is a beast. If you're worried about harming it, I think it is very safe to say at this point it won't happen via over clocking.

Gonna have to power up my gtab and flash this one. Thanks again for keeping the best rom for the GTAB alive!!! I think I'm currently using V5 (made sense to go back to it after I grew tired of the honeycomb alphas having moved to the 1.2 boot loader).

Just nuked mine out and finished a fresh install. Seems better now. I originally dropped it on top of a beaten and battered 5274 stocker (cooked over and tweaked). Website listed is still wonky (still missing photos), but tab is faster and smoother.
[G Tablet Android Development] tsukaza:
Option 3 as mentioned in a lot of ROM flash instruction is to use your PC/laptop and load a fresh BL1.2 factory ROM which will clean up everything allowing a fresh install of any custom ROM. It is highly recommended.
[G Tablet Android Development] Cobey_S:
Oh! Yes, that is the way I prefer to install, nuking everything that was there to make sure there is no interference. Thanks for explaining. I'm creating a backup of my V6 install and will see what happens once V7 is in.

I notice today that there is a v11 of Flash.

Do you advise installing this?

Thanks. Love this ROM. I tried Gtab-Comb and Flashback, but came back first to Beasty and now this. I love the HD-accel and the snappiness, without all the FC's.

Yep, really low I had to put on headphones and listen really hard to hear the sound. Most other file formats play fine. Not sure why .mkv is an issue (720p). I down converted the file and sound is fine. Had this issue before and after a nuke with fresh install.

I NVFlashed back to a 1.2 stock rom and installed Version & but it wont go past the NVidia Tegra II screen... Is there anything I can do to fix it? is it in a bootloop, or does it just take a while to start up?
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
Boot into CWM and perform a "wipe data/factory reset". This should allow you to boot successfully. This is a Froyo ROM, so there shouldn't be too much in the way when coming from an NVflashed 4329 (or something like that). Make sure that, of you boot successfully, that you get the Wifi setup, your Market account and reboot after that (just a safeguard to ensure that your ROM has properly installed). If the problem persists, then you may want to try a re-install and be sure to check that your download was clean. If you downloaded this ROM directly into your tablet, then you may want to try to download it from your PC and transfer the ROM in via USB to your internal SD card (reflash, of-course).

Hope this helps.

Does CWM soft-brick the tablet when on stock 4349 rom?
[G Tablet Android Development] degree210:
Man, I have been at this all night... It just doesn't want to install right... Is CWM needed to install this rom? Cause I am even having trouble installing CWM I try to load it and the tablet soft-bricks and wont go any further than "booting recovery kernel image"...

So:

1.Do I need CMW to install this correctly?

2.How do I get CMW to work right with the stock 4349 rom? (soft-bricks)

3. Can anyone direct me to a download, maybe of the stock 4329 rom?

Thanks so much, any help is greatly appreciated!
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
You are trying to install cwm for the wrong bootloader. You need to use one from 1.2 bootloader. It will soft brick if you flash it with the 1.1 bootloader.

[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
Dropped in version 8, yes, its really fast.... I did have some odd things going on in 7 that version 8 doesn't have.

Not sure as to why.
