Nothing changed on the network, this was literally over a 2 hour period. I flashed 2 different kernels to the tab, reflashed the ROM, wiped dalvik, nothing.

I CAN connect to tethered Nexus One, so it connects to some things.

Any way to find out if somehow there is a mac address filter or how I'd go about fixing that?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Don't worry about MAC filtering. That is only an intentional security. You can't accidentally turn it on. If you did, nothing would connect to the router.

Have you tried reflashing your current ROM without wiping anything?
[G Tablet Android Development] JoeMofknDot:
i'm having the same issue but i can't connect to a Dinc on cm7 using barnacle but never had a problem using Dinc on 2.2 rom and wifi teather going to reflash phone to 2.2 rom and see what happens it works fine on my home network just not with the phone
[G Tablet Android Development] orangekid:
Yes, still not working.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Have you tried flashing Pershoot's latest kernel (released today)?

If you do and it does not work, you can manually push just the wifi module onto you device through ADB. However, you need to install his kernel first.

Let me know how that goes.

Just remember, do not wipe anything for Pershoot's kernels, just a simple flash. Also, make a backup first.
[G Tablet Android Development] orangekid:
thx for your continued help. I have flashed his 5/13 and clem's kernel, but didn't think to manually push the WiFi module for some reason.

When I get home I'll flash the latest kernel (today) and if no-go I'll ADB the wifi module and reboot, that should get it.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Fingers crossed, bud.

I am a noob I have only had the gtab for a week I tried VEGAn-TAB ROM BETA 5.1.1 and its great. But i flashed this one and its even better! However my question is since this does not have High Definition Video Hardware Decoding what exactly does that effect? Is it just videos I play on the tablet or is it also apps and streaming stuff? Thanks keep up the great work. :D
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
HD games will be missing textures and may crash. High quality videos will play natively on youtube mobile (try moboplayer and in the settings enable software decoding for videos you manually put on your tablet). HD videos will not play through youtube or other internet means. Some apps which are HD or 3d instense may crash. You will find out what through trial and error.
[G Tablet Android Development] xkookkuix:
Interesting, well that makes the decision really difficult. I guess I will just give both a good week test run see which I feel better using. Thanks for the info!

Battery meter innacurate

Hey guys,

I have literally read through 46 posts about battery that showed up in the "search this thread" and couldn't find anyone else with this problem so I figured I would ask. My gtab actually reads 100% at all times. I have used battery calibration app, cleared through cwm and nothing it always shows 100. I do get pretty good battery life with it so no complain on that aspect but I have either mid convo or checking email and next thing you know.....yes, shutdown without one notice. Does anyone know what else I can try? I haven't reflashed it and I been running this ROM for about month and a half now and didnt have an issue with it at first but it finally got on my nerves, because of wifey too lol. Any ideas? Thank you.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Did you charge until the light turns green and then boot into clockworkmod and clear battery stats? Also, some have tried letting the battery kill the tablet and then booting into clockworkmod with power connected and then reset stats and when the charge light turns green resetting the stats again.

Alternatively, you could just charge until the light turns green and then reflash the ROM you have now without clearing anything, just an overflash.

Regardless, make a backup and good luck!
[G Tablet Android Development] cgingermany:
Thank you brother.

So mote it be.
[G Tablet Android Development] chugger93:
See I was wondering this too. I'm on Vegan, but netflix doesn't work on Vegan 5.1, and I hear it does on CM7 or whatever? That's already pursauding me. However, I hear there is no HD acceleration under these ROMS, so what does that mean? Does that mean all my movies on my flash drive will not stream that I've encoded anymore? Does it mean, games like angry birds, riptide, majesty, or air attack won't work anymore?

It's such a hard decision...
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Netflix sets the standard as to what will play on what. Eventually, everyone should be encompassed. Until then, you have to modify your build.prop and even then it is only 50/50.

Movies will play from your flash drive, unless they are bluray rips and they will play like crap and possibly not render at all. Angry birds works and most games do. Tegra2 games like HD Backbreaker, Monster Madness, Dungeon Defense, etc... will be missing shaders and overlays and crash.

Bottom line, there is no huge advantage to having Gingerbread at this time. Just hold off until there is an RC or dare I say SR.
[G Tablet Android Development] chugger93:
Thanks for the feedback...
[G Tablet Android Development] skotter:
Has anyone had problems with the bluetooth on this rom? I can get them to pair but not connect...very strange. Any help would be appreciated.
[G Tablet Android Development] generosity21:
I have used the bluetooth to transfer files between gtab and my phone, didn't have any problems.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I can verify bluetooth through Astro and my netbook works along with my Moto Rokr S7-HD headphones. However, your problem sounds familiar. It will pair, but not connect if your device is currently connected to another device. Even if the device supports multiple pairing, I have seen this happen. Make sure the device you are trying to connect is not connected to anything else.
[G Tablet Android Development] skotter:
Ok I'll have to try it again I guess....must be missing something. I have another question as it pertains to this build and Clemsyn's updated kernel. Can I use the kernel built for Froyo, the one that allows the 1.5Ghz with this rom?

Thanks,

Skotter

Go to the bottom and you will see files for both Froyo and Ginger. Download your appropriate voltage for Ginger.
[G Tablet Android Development] Don Lettrich:
I had this problem too and did just what this post says...run it until it dies, plug it in and wipe battery stats in CW, then charge all the way up and reset again. Now my battery gage works as normal again. The key is letting run all the way down until it shuts off.
[G Tablet Android Development] ndno:
I remembered having a similar issue before. Try this, it may work for you:

1. Disable wifi

2. Use a file explorer (like root explorer) to delete /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf (or rename it so you can go back to it in case it doesn't work)

3. Re-enable wifi and let the scan find your network and re-enter your key
[G Tablet Android Development] sidwin:
couple of problems i've noticed...

sometime for no reason it turns completely off and i have to wait for it to reboot. the thing takes FOREVER to boot

i also notice that the sound goes away and sometime requires a reboot.

Other than that it's pretty nice.

Thanks,

Sid
[G Tablet Android Development] schettj:
If your sound goes away, usually pugging in and removing a wired headset fixes that.
[G Tablet Android Development] iamjakecali:
Re:Sound, Boot Time, Etc.

I have the same sound problems, but I spent a lot of time experimenting with the autostart settings on user and system apps to try to maximize my available memory (only because I want to, most things run fine with jsut 250 but I try to get it up to 360--the best I can get). Messing with Audiofix was definitely one of the culprits. Haven't nailed down any others.

Still have the problem that only the right speaker works (or the sound out of the left is so low that I cannot tell if it is working at all). The latter problem has nothing to do with the auto starts---nor does it have anything to do with my flash. I have thoroughly experimented with different levels of preparation to flash (NV Format, stock, flash ROM, CWMod, FormatAll.zip, erase all data before and/or after flash, clear dalvik cache, ADB, downloaded new copies of the ROM). I think it is hardware, and it isn't worth it to me to restore it to factory so I can send it to viewsonic for repair---I cannot be without it for that long and they will likely just send a refurb back instead of fixing and returning. I will disassemble it to check wires etc., once I get up the courage to do so (or I just get really bored messing with all the software and ROMS).

Boot time -- it seems that the system fights with me when I disable various things (maybe keeps trying to start them when booting and then gives up). If I don't mess with any auto start entries, boot is 30 or so seconds. Currently it is about 2 minutes.
[G Tablet Android Development] michaeljc70:
I want to load a different kernel so I can use SetCPU. Does anyone have more detailed instructions? Can it be done without the SDK?

Instructions:

Flash the .zip through recovery

To use one of the kernel modules:

Pull the one you want from lib-2632.41.tar.gz (winrar can open this),

adb remount

adb push MODULE.ko /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.41-cyanogenmod/

adb shell chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.41-cyanogenmod/MODULE.ko

adb shell insmod /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.41-cyanogenmod/MODULE.ko
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Yes.

1.) Boot the tab into recovery (hold volume + while powering up).

2.) Make a backup!

3.) Make sure you made a backup!

4.) Select install from SD

5.) Choose where to install from

6.) Select Kernel.zip

7.) Select Yes

9.) Press back button and reboot

***DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING UNLESS THE KERNEL DEVELOPER SAYS SO
[G Tablet Android Development] fordmanck:
Really no detail needed. Just flash it through recovery. I was using pershoots before I went to BOS.
[G Tablet Android Development] michaeljc70:
This may seem like a silly question, but where do I get kernel.zip? I went to Droid Basement for pershoots kernel and there are 2 files I see for Gingerbread: boot-cm_2632.41_gb-oc-uv-xtra-vfp_fp-052411 and lib-2632.41_gb.tar.

When I open them, there are a lot of files and I'm not sure what to use.
[G Tablet Android Development] fordmanck:
Download the .zip file. Then boot to recovery and choose apply zip from sdcard. The file should be in /download. Navigate to it, scroll down to yes and voila.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
The .tar is for loading modules. You just need the .zip, that is the kernel.
[G Tablet Android Development] jyams:
is dev on this ROM done?

Looks like things are slowing down with the Gtab. Guess that's inevitable.
[G Tablet Android Development] runngwlf:
That always seems to happen to me within a couple of months of me getting a new device. At least the stuff that is here has made my device so much more than I bought, and it has so much life left in it, hopefully more will come in time.
[G Tablet Android Development] tedlogan42:
Yeah, it is inevitable, but I don't think they're slowed down yet. I think Honeycomb is currently in a waiting period to see what drivers appear from Notion Ink. With some more, a fully functional version (or at least all but camera, since I think that's the other driver that's quite different) of Honeycomb should be possible.

CM7 is still updating. There wasn't a nightly over the holiday weekend, but that's probably to be expected. We'll probably see one pretty soon, I figure.

As far as GoJimi, has anyone heard from him? I know he updated VTL a bit back, but I haven't seen any posts about what he's doing with Vegan-tab Ginger, if anything.
[G Tablet Android Development] RobBrownNZ:
I think (hope) the Next Big Thing with the G-tab will be Gingerbread, whether CM or some other build, with NVIDIA libraries from the Notion Ink firmware release on 1 June (today!). If that doesn't give a good result, then hopefully we'll get something useful from the LG Optimus 2X release of Gingerbread which is rumoured for June (a pre-release is already in the wild, but no-one's done much with it).

Wouldn't it be nice for our own device's supplier to provide updates?!

Personally I'm not excited about Honeycomb because the source isn't available and I think that will always lead to some level of incompatibility, but obviously not everyone shares that view :)

video files getting erased and some not playing

Since installing Ginger RC1, video files are disappearing and some of them won t play anymore. Can someone help please.:confused:
[G Tablet Android Development] generosity21:
Put an empty file called .nomedia in your videos folder. There is a bug in the software that deletes video files from your SD card, and putting that file in the folder keeps the ROM from poking around in it and deleting video files. Then just use Mobo Player to play your files.

I have also noticed that video files larger than 2 GB will copy onto the SD card fine, but WILL NOT PLAY in any player I have tried. Just had to go back to the original file and re-compress smaller.

Good luck.

ROM issue.

VEGAn-Ginger is based off the CM7.0 source tree so it's not like you are looking at a major change, just many more updates to the source code (fixes, enhancements, additions) that have occurred since CM7.0 was out (stable is now CM7.03).

Robeet has posted a Netflix hack in the VEGAn 5.1.1 thread that works. I haven't tried it on the VEGAn Ginger though.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I doubt it would work here, as it's a Froyo hack - granted, I have not tried it.

I've heard that this mod is based on CM 7.0.0, so it could just be a question of someone figuring out what the CM devs did between 7.0.0 and 7.0.3 and inject those changes here. And no, I'm not offering - I have enough mods to deal with. :D

Is it possible to enable Vegan-Tab Ginger to read an sdcard formatted to ext2? I think I need to use a different kernel, but information on the topic is sketchy, and XDA's search function hasn't been working for me today.

If I do need a different kernel, which one is compatible with Vegan-Tab Ginger and can I install it without losing all files?

Wifi very unstable

Hello guys. You are my hope on that.

I really don´t understand what happens to my gtab. The wifi keeps disconecting and sometimes stays at Not in Range even with moden in front of the tablet.

Sometimes connects well and stays like this for some time and later it gest disconnected. Status is Scanning or obtaining ip address blabla...

I am using the version of this thread.

BL 1.1

Kernel - 2.6.32.36-cyanogenmod root@pershoot-ubuntu #1

Droid Version - 2.3.3

Wifi is set to never sleeps

Regulatory Domain - set to 11 (I am in Brazil and I already tried all options)

Security for the moden is Sharing WEP - also I have tried WPA2 PSK and none is stable.

Please any help will be great.

Renato
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Two things:

1.) That is an old kernel. Upgrade to Pershoot's latest (see my sig).

2.) Download softlocker from the market. It will kill your battery faster by not allowing the tablet to sleep, but it will give you better wifi stability.

Good luck!

Not sure If i did something wrong. Now it is stuck on the powered by gtabdeves

Flashed with Clockworkmod recovery tool v 08. It finishes and asked to reboot.

any idea?
[G Tablet Android Development] shah123:
I had Vegan Ginger Edition running and it was working great. I decided to Factory Reset the tablet. I used Settings|Privacy|Factory Reset.

But it went into endless reboots, I think. What it was doing is that the screen that says Vegan Tab Ginger Edition comes and it does the animation (shocking and flashing), and it does this like 3 times and then the screen goes blank for a second or so and then the animation starts again, and so on, and it keeps on repeating forever and then it would turn off automatically.

I booted into recovery Clockwork Recovery, and tried to do wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, etc, but nothing helped.

I eventually ended up in doing Wipe Dalvik Cache. It then started getting stuck at "Powered by G-TABDEVS" screen. It did not even get to VEGANTAB screen.

I then reflashed VEGAN again. It made it go pass the G-TABDEVS screen, but it is back to the original problem. Continuous VEGANTAB screens, back to back, until it shuts itself down.

Any suggestions? Do I need to re-install? If so I guess I will have to copy the zip to SDCARD and then install it, since I can't boot at all. Is there any other option?
[G Tablet Android Development] nccu_eagles:
after doing a full wipe of data plus dalvik you should be able to simple flash the rom? which version of cwm are you using?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I would not wipe anything and try to reflash the same ROM over itself. Try that first. If it bootloops, then go into recovery and clear data/factory reset.

Useability vs. bleeding edge

I bought my first g-tab in February and instead of just an experiment it became my daily tool! So, I bought a second one to experiment with. I've loaded lots of roms on it and gone from 1.1 BL to 1.2 and back and I still think it is a great device. Fortunately I have learned how to back things up with clockwork mod so I can try an experiment and then roll back to where I was if it doesn't work well. (Not as easy when you change bootloaders) Still, over and over I come back to Vegan Ginger because it looks good and it works good. I sure wish we would hear something from gojimi about future development but even if it stays right here, this rom makes my gtab a great device and everyone comments on how handy it is. So... gojimi - wherever you are....GREAT JOB!
[G Tablet Android Development] jpfulton248:
Love it. Thanks for your work. Question: I was really partial to Vegan5.1.1's theme... I like the location of all the softbuttons (home, back, context menu), I liked that the status bar was at the top rather than at the bottom. What's my best bet for getting back to that theme, should I just reflash Vegan5.1.1 or do I stick with VeganGingerEdition figure out a way to move stuff around? If option b then how? Thanks guys!

EDIT: The only reason i flashed this rom in the first place is because I had to send my gtab into the US Merch for repair... when I got it back I decided to go with the latest 'n greatest
[G Tablet Android Development] generosity21:
Agreed that it is a fantastic ROM as far as usability, but we really need hardware acceleration - no way around it. Playing standard def videos from the device is fine, but YouTube lags and stutters terribly unless you turn off HQ, and then it looks like crap, and HD videos are too much for software acceleration only.

The difficult thing is, Gojimi may be working on it, or the ROM may be abandoned, and we would never know. He suggested the next version might be coming out a month+ ago, and it never happened. I've seen this happen with half a dozen ROMs - the updates and information slows to a halt, and then suddenly, it's announced that the ROM is no longer being developed.

Inevitable when they are developing just for the fun of it, and their efforts are hugely appreciated, I just wish we had more information about what's going on.

NETFLIX!!

If you're like me and think that Vegan GE is perfect with one glaring exception (Netflix), then take a look at the thread below at post #13. You'll need to have an app like Root Explorer (or be comfortable with your linux skills in Terminal Emulator), but it works perfectly and now I'm enjoying Netflix on my favorite ROM. You just need to download the latest stable zip of cyanogenmod (7.0.3), unzip it and extract the .so files he mentions from /system/lib. Then follow his instructions for copying them into /system/lib on your GTablet. Again, you'll need to mount your system directory as R/W and change the file permissions using something like Root Explorer or Terminal Emulator to accomplish this.

Also, for any of you who are experienced with building patches to ROMs and would be willing to help user -okthr- with preparing a patch to Vegan Ginger for these libraries, I think that would go a long way in helping the masses to get this to work on Vegan GE. He was trying to create one himself, but if you check out post #9 in the thread above he was having trouble creating it and is looking for some help.
