[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma0456:
I'm presently working on the answers to another question I asked recently regarding cifs. I got some great technical advice but it seems that I must do some work with the kernel in my vegan ginger tab to understand all the info I received. I was sent a link to Pershoot's kernel page http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/ and I went there but I do not understand what I am seeing. I see that there is a numbering system 2.6.32.39 and I can guess that UV means undervolted and that OC means overclocked. The rest ??? Which one works with gingerbread ??? Also, reading the posts in the kernel page on XDA, there seems to be a lot of experimentation going on with voltages and governors, etc to try and squeeze the max out of the g-tab. That's great but I'm not ready to play in that league yet. I want a basic, stable kernel that I can learn to load modules with. I don't want to be worrying about adjusting other things at the moment. How, can I determine which is the correct kernel for my vegan ginger? Actually the one that came with the ROM is working fine (2.6.32.36) but I need to have the zip file to look at the information inside to understand the answers to my original questions about loading cifs module. Any kernel wizards out there that can give me some basics on the labeling system?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roguey:
My guess would be the one with....(Gingerbread)........after it....

Its not that hard to read.......

ViewSonic Gtab/Malata Zpad (Gingerbread):

boot-cm_2632.39_gb-oc-uv-xtra-vfp_fp-043011.zip
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma0456:
Of course its not that hard to read if you know what you are reading!

"ViewSonic Gtab/Malata Zpad (Gingerbread):

boot-cm_2632.39_gb-oc-uv-xtra-vfp_fp-043011.zip

cm_2632.39 - kernel version (derived from cyanogen mod I presume)

gb - yup gingerbread

oc - overclocked - probably

uv - undervolted - another good guess

xtra - well he explains what is in that

vfp - no clue

fp - also no clue

043011 - yeah the date !!!

now there is all this reference to replacing the boot loader - which, based upon all the furor about the last viewsonic release might be a problem - or not. Do I need a new bootloader or is this just standard with kernels. I've flashed a few and never seen that before - but I was using clemsyn's. Will it mess up my clockworkmod?

Then it also looks like I have to install an app to manage the overclocking. Do I want to overclock? Should I overclock? Hmmm not working on that issue at the moment so I don't want to start a recursive thread in my mind investigating overclocking. Perhaps I shouldn't be using pershoot kernels at all if I want something less experimental. All I wanted really was to have cifs work. Clemsyn? Well cifs is built in but it didn't seem to work well with gingerbread rom. How to tell what works with what rom? Trying not to make a brick here. Anyway - I'm rambling but hopefully someone see the point. How do you find the information you need to make a decision? So far the only way I can see is to post questions like this, receive snarky answers and an occasional helping hand. Well if that's what it takes - bring it on because sooner or later I'm going to find out what I need to know to keep pushing forward with my g-tab.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
There is a learning curve to anything, and Linux kernels are no different. First, don't over think it! It is sufficient to get the right kernel for whatever you are running. For us gtab folks that would be gtab, then either froyo or gingerbread as the major version, then either the original 1.1 or the new 1.2 bootloader. Combine all that and you will know which pershoot ron will work for you.

As to the overclocking, by default if you do nothing, the pershoot kernel will slightly underclock, so it will always work on any hardware. You can follow the directions to start pushing the overclock speed and see hot it works for you. Try 1200 for a few days, and if all goes well push it up to 1400
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma0456:
Ha-ha-ha Sorry I'm an INTJ - I ALWAYS overthink. Learning curves are my curse! That said - identifying the kernel makes more sense. I'm not sure I know how to determine what bootloader it is for - I prefer to stick with the old one for now. Is it something obvious that I just haven't seen? For example:

boot-cm_2632.39_gb-oc-uv-xtra-vfp_fp-043011.zip which bootloader???

Then there is the question of "In order for UMS (USB mount) to work on Gingerbread, this must be reverted:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_harmony/commit/f51f9e2a1037b4e3fb1a" What does REVERTED mean?

Good news on the overclocking - I can just leave it alone and it will work and then when I'm ready I can try the overclocking. Is this usually true with kernels that have been undevolted or overclocked that the default settings are more or less normal and you have to actually tweak them to use the OC or UV? I know nothing is carved in stone but would that be "the norm" for most developers?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
You have to check out his blog page - it should clearly identify if a kernel is for the old or new boot loader. The vast majority are for the old boot loader, so if it's not mentioned at all, it's for the old one.

You can ignore the USB revert thing - that's not an instruction for you, it's what he did for gingerbread.

The way overclocking is implemented (at least in pershoot's case), you need to change something on your gtab to set the min/max clock. By default, on pershoot's kernel, the max will be just under 1Ghz, so doing nothing you get that. The undervolting is fixed in the kernel, you can't change it. Likewise the "steps" the cpu clock can take from min to max is fixed in the kernel and isn't changeable.

The other kernel (1.5ghz OC) I know nothing about, since I've never used it nor looked into it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
It's even easier than you are still trying to make it :)

There is only one bootloader for the Gtablet that supports "other" kernels and that is the one that is currently shipping and currently "officially the latest". There is a "newer" bootloader for the 1.2 system based stuff (3991 and above stock images...which were up for a day and then pulled for unknown reason) and there are zero replacement kernels for that bootloader.

If you read it says..

and no where does it mention new or old bootloader and Gtablet together.

So for Gingerbread based Viewsonic Gtablets you would want this one.

If you need extra filesystem or other support (CIFS, NTFS, etc..) you need the proper module from the lib file..

which you would open and extract the module you need and push it to your device however you want....ADB or Root Explorer, etc...

if you want to use overclocking, download SetCPU or use the CPU settings in VEGAN-Ginger.

You don't need to worry about this statement

If you are on a ROM based off the CyanogenMod source tree which VEGAn-Ginger is.

So only two days after purchasing the Inspire I have a hair line crack on the glass. The rest of the phone has not been damaged nor dropped in anyway. It was in my pocket along with a coin/cashless wallet when I sat down and I guess that was enough pressure on the screen to fracture the glass. So now I'm kinda screwed and want to take it back to AT&T tomorrow and see what I can do.

I'm playing a couple old snes games and one point of Chrono Trigger, you have to "hold r and l and then press A". Well, I can't. For some reason, it won't register the 3rd key press. To test, I tried to sprint (d-pad + b button) and then I hit the A button and it stopped the sprinting.

I don't know what to do. You HAVE to do this in order proceed. I thought these screens supported at least a 3 point multitouch. I have a novatech screen (I know because my brightness settings don't work) and aren't those supposed to support 5 touch?

You guys think the 2.1 sense rom I'm running might have something to do with this as well?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
To test, I flashed back to mikFroyo 4.61. I can get at least 3 touch (I finally got passed that part that was frustrating me). I'm willing to bet that because 2.1 sense roms and 1.0 sense w/gingerbread don't play well with Novatech screens that it also screws with multi touch.

Hmm, I wonder how many I actually have? On 2.2 w/sense I have at least 3. On 2.1 Sense I only have 2.

Makes a ton of sense when there's probably 3 different versions of each Epson/novatec panels floating around. When htc ran low on supply they chose another touch panel to continue shipment of the evo. As stated above some phones have 2, 3 and even 5 point touch on their panels. Most phones will have 3, some from launch date will have 2, and some newer will have 5. I have a newer evo from this past Xmas and its 5 point.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
It could, since sense 2.1 and gingerbread w/sense 1.0 don't play nice with novatek screens, it seems to revert the Evo down to just 2 point touch. I have only tested using a custom rom and kernel so I don't know what it's capable of, but I know on Virus 2.1 I only get 2 point touch and on MikFroYo 4.61 I get 3 point touch. I may unroot to see if I can get 5...but not today lol.

Hi there,

Long time listener first time caller.

Have an HTC Desire.

rooted a long time ago,

running clockworkmod 2.5.0.7

was running a modaco rom with a2sd+.

Tried a new sense 2.3 rom recently but couldnt get the the data2sd working so tried to revert back to my old modaco rom.

repartitioned & formatted SD Card with a 3gig fat32, 512mb ext3 and 32mb swapspace.

can mount the SD card and SD-EXT in recovery and install zips from SD Card.

Can mount sd for usb in recovery and see/use it on the computer.

when booting into android, under storage it shows SD as unavailable.

but my internal memory has gone up indicating the ext3 partition is working with a2sd+

I have tried everything within my knowledge to fix.

Reformatted many times.

I read in a few places about enabling SD card in fastboot with this command "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0"

I am not sure how to enter/run this command in fastboot as there is nowhere to enter it or select it. have tried with adb with no luck

any advice please?

Moto Droid 1.. clockword mod / project elite v5.

Screen got wet and is fubared. LCD not working / only backlight, so I can't see what is going on.

Did vcf backup about a month ago, but in the meantime have quite a few unsynced (with google) contacts I would really like to get off of this phone. Phone seems to boot up fine, but USB connect is defaulted to charge only. So I am thinking the easiest hardware-key controlled way to get them off is to do a clockwork mod backup to sd, and recover from there (do contacts get backed up this way? what location in the android filesystem?).

If that makes sense, someone guiding me through the exact key presses to do a clockwork mod backup would be great.

Or if there is an easier way (terminal via usb?), suggestions are welcome. Really don't want to have to buy a new screen just to get contacts off if I can avoid it.

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] corellon:
I had to do this and it's a PAIN! I had the slider hinge break on my milestone (Same left side hinge as the droid (After taking it apart it's crappy cheap quality is all, 3 tiny spot welds to hold the screen on, and the welds are weak to begin with))

I used Androidlini recovery so can't comment on clockwork mod. Mine was on charge only as well.

Droid maybe be the same so post what I know.

What I had to do is get the update.zip on SD card, boot into the recovery taping down once and then camera to open the update.zip. from there it was blind tapping from memory to do a nandroid backup (did a full since it's a default option) and then took the sdcard out into a reader to open.

One thing that may work as it did on mine was to force the phone into bootloaded mode, can't remember if the recovery mode enabled it or not, but know the bootloader mode (same mode RSDlite uses to flash roms) enables USB access for ADB, from that you should be able to get at least the contacts from the filesystem, I couldn't do a nandroid that way since the scripts were off (plus the scripts had onscreen prompts that needed the hardware keyboard) but navigating the filesystem with PUSH and PULL should work
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] locarbdontmeannosugar:

Okay so I am looking to get the Trident Cyclops case for my wife. The Trident Cyclops has a PET screen protector. I just learned PET (polyethylene terephthalate) may or may not be safe for your health. (It is recommended that water bottles made out of PET not be used more than once [i.e. no reuse], because of chance of seepage of a carcinogenic.) Seeing as it is recommended not to use PET water bottles more than once, I am thinking it may not be safe to use PET screen protectors, seeing as the screen protector is always in contact with our hands. I am wondering if anyone has any facts/opinions on this issue?

I am interested in the Trident Cyclops because of the all-around protection it provides. If Otterbox Defender was available (for the Samsung Galaxy S 4G) I would get that instead, but it isn't. If it turns out PET screen protector is not safe, I will just have to go with the Otterbox Commuter, unless someone has a better alternative in mind.
