Aldiko

OK, so I have figured out my Aldiko problem. When i got it to install finally it installed itself to the SD card. when I powered of my device and hit the icon it said that is was not installed. I went to application management and found it un installed and re-installed and it worked. I powered of and noticed the same thing. So I just made it move itself to the main memory and Now it work like a charm.

Beta means that everything works but it's still buggy, Alpha means some components still don't work.

Until the Camera and OpenGL work you can't technically call this a Beta no matter how fast or smooth it goes.

I'm at BoS 2.4 very stable, even has the dolby sound settings, have never had a reboot or a wifi error. Can anyone tell me what's better about 4.1 that

would make me want to switch.

Bluetooth audio does not work on any of the BoS versions btw.
[G Tablet Android Development] dragonfly1113:
curious with these honeycomb roms that are out if you were to install the new google talk with the video chat thats on the xoom would it work the right way? is the camera the right angle it needs to be? or does it still not work?
[G Tablet Android Development] Swyzzlestickz:
Only one way to find out. On 3.1 i had the video option never took time to try it seeing as no one on my list had video capability. Didn't check 4.0 yet. Hit me up on gtalk and we can test it out
[G Tablet Android Development] dragonfly1113:
whats your gtalk user name?
[G Tablet Android Development] Swyzzlestickz:
Swyzzlestickz@gmail.com. whays odd is i dont have the gtalk app now. Time to search for it. It was pre-installed on 3.3 where the hell did it go?
[G Tablet Android Development] joshtb86:
how is this diff than bottle of smoke?
[G Tablet Android Development] Swyzzlestickz:
What do you mean? The numbers we are throwing aroind are different versions of BoS a.3 was a bit buggy for my daily usage, a4.0 is what im running now and it is very stable for me. A4.1 maybe better but, i didnt see anything in the change log that made me want to upgrade.
[G Tablet Android Development] philhyde:
Just installed on my new G Tablet. So far my only complaint is the fonts (and/or resolution). Looks fuzzy. Is this a result of the ROM?

Also, are their any good keyboards available? The built-in one doesn't seem to have spell checking.

Thanks for your hard work!
[G Tablet Android Development] Forge94:

[G Tablet Android Development] joshtb86:
Nope, just shows me that there is another ROM. That is separate from this one, correct?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
They are one in the same, just different release versions. The one in this thread is alpha 1. They are now up to Alpha 4.1

The link I sent you shows the different versions along with a changelog for the latest release. However, the boards are down, so you might have to wait a bit to check again.

a4.1 Hardware Acceleration

Does a4.1 has Hardware Acceleration?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Sorta. However, in the most basic of terms, no. Meaning no HD quality vids or complex tegra2 specific games will play/look right.

Alpha 4.1 is a night and day difference from Alpha 1.

Big thanks to Roebeet and others. Roebeet thought you'd given up on the G tablet after your disgust with Viewsonic support earlier this year. Will continue to follow your work. Would send you a beer if only I drank myself ;)
[G Tablet Android Development] pqrs:
so is anyone else having problems with their media players? poweramp wont work for me.. the files are on the external sd, but i can choose the folder, its scans and says it sees the files.. but it cant play anything? when i go to the library it says i need to add folders.. :mad: mobo player doesnt work right either, i cant add a library.. i can play a file if i navigate to it, but it wont create a library? my movies are on the internal card, not external.

its like theres some library issues, not just an external sd issue.
[G Tablet Android Development] nunjabusiness:
Known issue with external sdcards, currently you need to pop it out and reinsert and then browse the folders. Works for me on BoS 4.0 every time.
[G Tablet Android Development] nik2020:
I just got this new Tablet - couldnt resist to mod it and upgrade to this honeycomb.

Thank you so much guys - you are awesome and the instructions are very good, informative as well.

I had problems with wireless not coming up initially, I restarted the tab and everything is fine. Problems with FLASH exits though.

Some q's

1. How do i get the Youtube videos show as icons instead of list - the icons for images are very good with nice scrolling effect. Xoom has such icons - is it possible on Gtab?

2. Which honeycomb is better - is this one or

- Honeycomb Android Illuminate for The Gtablet

- Bottle of Smoke (Honeycomb port, currently is a mashup from the Adam and VEGA devs)

- Honeycomb for GTAB - Flashback

Is there a difference between these ?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Illuminate is BoS 3.X with some minor changes.

A lot of bugs have been fixed in the latest BoS 5.2 Alpha:

http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/17863-rom-12-bottle-of-smoke-honeycomb-for-gtab-g-tabletzpad-t2/

I would recommend BoS. I have no experience with flashback.
[G Tablet Android Development] nunjabusiness:
Flashback is, according to the poster: "a mix of many Honeycomb roms. Mostly HC14, Vega Rom, and BOS." It's claim to fame is that PC mounting works. However, the sdcard fix is not there yet. I personally prefer having my external sdcard available reliably.

Bottle of Smoke was the first HC port for G-Tablet and IMHO, is still hands-down the best, most documented and most reliable.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
The Flashback one is using a different kernel than BoS -- something from the early Adam development. This kernel allows USB mounting to work and I actually was able to port his kernel to BoS and it also worked (Wifi broke of course, but that's easy enough to fix). And the microSD still worked, at least from my testing.

I thought about this and, for now, left BoS as is as I think the OC'ing aspects are more important than the USB mounting. But if Clem or Pershoot could manage both in an updated HC kernel, that would definitely make it into a future BoS.

As for options, I think all the HC ROMs have their pros and cons - it's just a matter of picking what's best for your needs.

STANDARD DISCLAIMER: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. By running this firmware mod, you agree that there is the possibility that you may brick your device and neither myself, Slatedroid nor Viewsonic are responsible for supporting you if that occurs. In this case, it is required that you learn and setup nvflash prior to running this mod.

(a6.0) Seems stable so far, adds USB mounting (thus cwm was removed from the ROM, no longer required).

Instructions

Hello,

sorry for the noob question. I noticed there's two different instructions on the OP.

Just want to know if I opt to follow instruction 2, does this mean I don't need to go back to original stock com, I.e. I just need to nvflash the bootloader to 1.2?

I'm currently running Vegan Gingerbread.

Thank you all for looking and couldn't be happier to finally see HC available for grab.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Option 2 is if you are already on 3588. However, you must be on 3588 for this to work. The first set of instructions is how to get to 3588 in preparation for installing the new 1.2 bootloader, plus, clockwork cannot be installed prior to the upgrade. If I were you, I would start with instruction one.
[G Tablet Android Development] gtabman:
Thank you very much! Basically we need to follow both instructions, correct?

Also, I've been following this thread and it seems there are many different alpha versions out there. Is this true? I would assume the link in the OP will be the latest version. Can somebody help confirm?

Thank you!
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Yes, follow both. Especially if you want top be safe.

That being said, no offense to Roe or Clem, but I would suggest Flashback. It appears to be the future of solid HC builds:

How do I install with stock bootloader?
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
I remember trying to port the kernel before and it was creating bad sectors in my nand and it won't boot. Might be the old bootloader causing it but I might attempt again. BTW, it is difficult.
[G Tablet Android Development] notsob2002:
Do not use cmw to install! Just copy the recovery and update.zip files to root and then start tab into recovery. It will install update. Wipe data and reboot. Initial startup will take a long time so be patient. I would also be on 4349 before update as it has new 1.2 bootloader not sure it will work with 3558

[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
Instructions updated. Please do not use CWM on 3588 because CWM on bootloader 1.1 won't flash the bootloader part. Also since you are using stock 3588, then you need to rename the combo to Update.zip

yes, I added it on.

Hello Clemsyn,

Roebeet released ver 2.3 http://www.mediafire.com/?xl87l7qhdxz77dd

Do we need to reflash your kernel https://rapidshare.com/files/596821934/1.5boot1.2HoneyComb.zip ?

Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] flipovich:
well, HC was originally released with .35 I believe, so odds are you need a more recent bootloader to be able to support the new kernel, so you're probably right...all I know is, if you were able to get a working .36 kernel going for us that a LOT of people would be giving you some love ;-)

One quick question on THIS kernel in your combo post...is it still the ver11 kernel kernel you posted for HC on the other site or is this even more custom? Thanks for everything, bro...ttyl

Before I nvflash and start down this road, I want to confirm that I can revert back to your calkulin-clemsyn ver 1.5 with the cwm that is installed with this rom without the need to revert back to the old bootloader.

[G Tablet Android Development] boltgd:
wow....

you guys are awesome....
[G Tablet Android Development] nunjabusiness:
Very important for upgrading to Honeycomb.

Everybody having trouble getting this installed - if it is the same as Roebeet's on Slatedroid.

How you do it depends on what Bootloader version you already have.

If you have bootloader 1.1, you have to first decide if you want to upgrade to 1.2. I recommend it just for future compatibility. I am partial to using latest versions on pretty much everything when possible. My instructions here are for changing UP to the new Bootloader for that reason. I am not going to put links here, there are enough already. These are the exact instructions I have followed a half dozen times, and it works EVERY SINGLE TIME.

If you skip a step - even one wipe or reset - it WILL fail.

That being said:

If you want to move to 1.2, you MUST use NVFlash to zap your tab to a build 4349-based ROM. The right 4349 Stock ROM includes the new bootloader and a new recovery. NVFlash requires a PC and putting the Tab in APK mode (Vol. Down + Power).

If you don't know what that means, learn it or else this path is not for you.

Once the flash is complete, before it boots up - turn the tablet off or you will bootloop. The reason for that is that you have done something pretty significant (replacing bootloader) and still have to format the data partition and wipe the cache.

So now, go ahead and boot into recovery mode (Vol. Up + Power) and choose Wipe Data/Factory Reset (use Vol. to move the selection and hit the Home hardware button to select). When that finishes, Wipe the Cache. Then Reboot.

When it comes up, the "Activate USB Transfer" dialog will be there. Activate USB, then choose Activate Now. Don't press the hide button, you will not be going into this ROM at all. Instead, back at your PC, if you haven't already done so, download the latest version of the HC ROM and extract it to your hard drive where you can find it easily. In Windows Explorer, copy the recovery folder and the update.zip file and paste into the root of the Removable Disk that is your G-tab, replacing if asked.

Now, right-click that Removable Disk and choose eject and go back to your Tablet and deactivate USB, then power it down. You can also go ahead and disconnect your USB cable since that part of these HC ports hasn't been fixed yet. Boot into recovery mode again. It should automatically update, but you may have to tell it to. If it comes up to the recovery menu, choose Apply Internal update.zip. It will begin to install the Honeycomb ROM. If you want to see the details, hit the hardware Home button. Watch carefully, because as soon as it finishes, it will reboot itself and you need to shut it down at this point. Then, boot into recovery mode for one more Wipe Data/Factory Reset. Then, another wipe of the cache partition and you are done.

Reboot and (after a while) you are ready for the creamy goodness of Honeycomb. Restore your apps and data from Titanium Backup and see what still works!
