I updated to this ROM, I'm also seeing it as 1.3. It setup just fine, wifi was going just fine, then it started slowing down and turned off twice, but overall it was running ok for most of the afternoon/evening. After I rebooted, I tried to copy from files from my SD card to the internal SD card via ES Explorer, it was doing its thing, then it went to sleep and now it's on a loop at the "Illuminate" animation and the unlock screen will flash for a split second and then start all over again. HUH?

edit: after looping for about 5 times, it just turned off now.... :(
[G Tablet Android Development] vnbuddy2002:
Same behavior for me as well. It is stable for sometimes. Then start to reset. Later got stuck with "Illuminate". The only way to get it back is to wipe out data and cache which will reset everything.

on the subject of usb gps units didnt google add an api for alot of usb accessories in android 3.1 and 2.3.4?
[G Tablet Android Development] transitoyspace:
got some link or info on that.

thatd be awesome.

has anyone besides op uploaded a video of the tab running this rom.

usb gps

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.1.html

"Android 3.1 introduces powerful new APIs for integrating connected peripherals with applications running on the platform. The APIs are based on a USB (Universal Serial Bus) stack and services that are built into the platform, including support for both USB host and device interactions. Using the APIs, developers can create applications that are able to discover, communicate with, and manage a variety of device types connected over USB."
[G Tablet Android Development] ew1090:
Nvm on that I was mistaken I think that's just for interacting with usb devices.

I too am having the reboot problem. It reboots at random times. It sometimes will show the unlock screen for a second and then reboot. Other times it will let me use it for a while and then it will reboot.

edit: Updated to 1.5 and the boot animation loop and random reboots has gone away. The tablet has been running fairly stable for about 24 hours now and only reboot once at the very start of using it. I was downloading and installing apps from the market (about 6 or 7 at one time) and it reboot on me. Updating one or two at a time seems to be okay. Haven't tried more than that since the initial reboot.
[G Tablet Android Development] xkookkuix:
This is the exact same problem I have been having. I tried reflashing after doing a full wipe. It works great for like an hour or 2 then starts random rebooting again. Other then that it runs great.
[G Tablet Android Development] jlytle1234:
I am using 1.4 and having the same problem with the unlock screen showing up and then going back to the Illuminate boot screen. Manually turning it off and back on will sometimes allow it to boot up like it should.

I probably have not kept it on long enough to see it reboot while using it.

any ideas on how why my system partition is so small and out of space? do i need to nvflash and go through the whole process?

Have you enabled mock locations in the tablet settings? That could be why none of your GPS apps stay open. I tether the GPS from my Galaxy S to my G Tab all the time with no problems at all.
[G Tablet Android Development] transitoyspace:
what rom you using?

and yes i made sure. tried gps on and off. mock on and off.

all fc. google maps is the only one that doesnt fc.

WiFi Solution?

Has anyone had the WiFi issue and resolved it?

I have tried connecting via WiFi to routers configured as WPA PSK, WEP, and to a completely open network, and all of them give me "Obtaining IP Address".

I've tried setting it to static, and that fails (with no specific message) and then the SSID goes to a "disabled" status.

I tried using WiFi Advanced Configuration Editor, with no change.
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
I have run around like a little chicken for you as far as I could. I KNOW my results. I WAS taking your word that it WAS working until I did my tests. What I think the community needs is for YOU to post videos of YOU watching a 1080p media file on your Illuminate Gtablet, after showing that you chose "hardware decoding."

Like I said, I KNOW what happens, and for what it's worth, others will tend to believe ME, since LBS doesn't have that good a track record to begin with.

I'll end my portion of the conversation here. I didn't do everything I did today to have you try make me look like I'm lying.

I'd hate ot see what happens if LBS doesn't conform to Jerdog's request in a timely manner. LBS Website might end up being the last place to get illuminate.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
When did this end up becoming about LBS? I thought you were experimenting to test theories. But we have provided proof in screen shots, bench marks, gaming results yet you have not provided anything. We have no idea what you have been doing all day and did not tell you to do any of it. I was thinking you just like to experiment. But every great scientist takes notes and produces tangible evidence of his theories or his claims otherwise what would be the point?

Hello guys,

I will get my GTablet soon, is this Honey Comb rom stable and could it be a replacement for the stock froyo rom since I am in love with the HC style.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
High great choice! And if you need help we are here for you. lol
[G Tablet Android Development] codf4ther:
They aren't without some random crashes and reboots bit they are stable enough for daily use. The ability to replace froyo depends on if you need HD video or working camera (our Hc Roms do neither).
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Not true the HD video works and I will be uploading it soon. What is the quickest way to do so?

Sorry I was away from XDA I replied
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
Well, according to LBS, this rom does have HD video capabilities. I spent all day testing this, but without the proof that it doesn't work, we need to accept the opinion that it does (without proof, mind you)

So, flash this rom, and enjoy HD video, if you can get it to work

illuminate 2.0 Playing HD (high-end device only) YouTube Video

Ok,NCCU__eagles helped me out so I will work on the next ones after the Asus eee Pad Transformer vs Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 clip off YouTube running at 1280 x 720 on illuminate 2.0. Although I have both versions of illuminate I prefer 2.0 because of the HoneyComb theme.

So yes illuminate does play HD high quality video. Here is the original clip I used at the highest quality.

Here is my clip played on G Tab...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91tf2Vy-Hww

Well, until I figure out whether to embed or just insert the URL I you can just click on the link to watch the video...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91tf2Vy-Hww Also, excuse the audio this was truly a rush job and shot with my cell phone camera for convenience.

What video player are you using? I got it to play in Rockplayer...just want to see if I can replicate what you did.

oh, and the stats in Rockplayer for the vid are as follows:

Audio: aac [44100Hz@2ch]

Video: h264 [1280*720@1985Kbps]

File: mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 [239186KB]

nevermind, I should have figured it was QQplayer...

I got it to run to, on Flashback through QQplayer, but using software decode. I simply won't believe that your using hardwaredecoding until I see it in the setting on QQplayer. I have mine set ot Automatic, and it chooses software every time. Changing it to hardware makes it not run.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
TJEvans I never mess with any settings. I have no idea where they are. It just works.
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
then if it's the QQplayer default (automatic) it's using software decoding, not hardware.

When I switch mine to hardware decode, it won't open.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
You said you are using Flashback this is illuminate two different roms.
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
but it's hte same app. the app's default is the same no matter what rom you're running...that's why it's called a default...

check your settings, make sure that hardware decode is selected and try playing the video again.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
OK, the next video is the Nvidia HD Home Theater Blue-Ray quality 1080p someone uploaded earlier on the thread I will snatch the link and the name of the poster and add it to this post for all to see. It is unbelievable that G Tab can run blue-ray quality HD, but we have to give props to the dev LBS you hit out the park. Realistically this is an imbalanced test seeing that this is blue ray quality advanced HD. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36150173/Nvi...st_Full-HD.mp4 for the original video and the poster was aabbondanza. Somebody give me a non blue-ray quality I will be happy to run it. Also, this rom is capable of playing 1080p (minus the blue-ray advanced HD) movies. Of course, that won't be possible to showcase because of copyright infringement. The video below says its a test video. But you can see above where it played 1280 x 720 effortlessly.

I'm watching your's and the way it acts, WHILE watching it on my Gtablet with Flashback. They look identical on QQplayer, using SOFTWARE decoding. Yours is just as chopy as mine.

I'm telling you, man, you're using software decoding as defualt. Switch to hardware and see if it even plays...
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
First of all that video is blue ray quality that makes a big difference. You said you could play no videos earlier.
[G Tablet Android Development] nvanlaar:
I can't get the second link to play. The first link plays/streams fine, but that is using a flash player or something since the only player I have installed is Modo and the video was not playing in Modo...

Well, LBS also puts in his own custom kernel. We kept telling you guys he was on to something sweet with his HC rom. For all those looking to try a HC rom go with this one. The video playback is just a drop in the hat for what you can do. I'm not running the latest version and I'm not struggling to duplicate how to play HD videos or messing with settings. It just works.
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
I never said that...here's the quote from the other thread while posting the results of my Illuminate test:

as far as:

That would also have no effect on the default settings of any application installed on any rom.

Assumed translation: I set it for hardware decoding and it didn't work, so since it didn't, I'm giving up on testing so as to not be proven wrong.

now, get this straight, for the last time. I never said that Illuminate was a bad rom, AT ALL. I tried it, I really liked the cool lock screen, I truly, really, did, I'm serious about that. I didn't like the green, but I don't like the green on any rom that has green notificaitons or embedded icons.

Illuminate is most definitely a solid rom, and it plays video just as well as all other roms out there. It runs the same apps as well as most other roms out there. In fact, it may be superior in some ways, yet inferior in others, just like all other roms out there.

BUT, hardware acceleration is not working on this rom, just as it's not working on any other HC rom out there. And since this is LBS's rom, and he claimed that hardware acceleration is working, it's really up to him to explain how it's working, or remove the claim from his "features" list.

That's all...Illuminate is a very worthy candidate for a daily driver HC rom. You will get no argument from me on that point, at all.

If you are on G Tab trying to view it you would need to download it first then play it. Streaming there is a problem playing HD. I've been on my laptop uploading stuff I didn't catch what you were saying earlier.
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
It would if you had hardware acceleration. Just saying.
[G Tablet Android Development] nvanlaar:
I never thought it did anyway..., but I really don't give a rats rear end since I don't watch that many videos and ZERO HD videos. What's the point really? It's not like the screen is HD and if I'm going to watch it on TV, i'll just use my Win7 media center. As long as I can get a 1024 x 600 Max Res video to play nicely, I don't care, unless true hw accel would give much improved battery life (doubtful).

Oh, and I keep seeing it mentioned that LBS is using his own kernel... that might be why 2.2 is faster. LBS was still using a modified pershoots kernel. He switched completely to his own kernal in A3.

Edit:

My bad, it was a Clemsyn kernel.

Then we agree that hardware acceleration is overrated. I just wish that Edirector would see that he's not, in fact, watching HD video on his Gtablet. And that LBS would retract his claim that it is working so that new users to this site don't get confused...that's all I'm asking
[G Tablet Android Development] revision78:
It's futile unfortunately.
[G Tablet Android Development] jerdog:
FORUM RULES:

"Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited."

The issue here is that directing traffic elsewhere is against XDA rules, and while there is no requirement to actively support your development efforts here at XDA, saying it probably won't be supported at XDA and that they can get support on your forum is kind of low and has been removed after requesting LBS do so - to which he did not after 2 days.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Phone related sites what does he mean?
[G Tablet Android Development] jerdog:
LBS had statements in there requesting all support be directed to his own forum where he would provide support instead of other sites where he posted his ROM. That's against XDA rules - so it's been removed. End of story.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Oh, just trying to understand since we have tablets what phone support. Thought i missed something. It was his tag statement that was the issue.
[G Tablet Android Development] jerdog:
don't mince words. It's the same thing in this case. his forum supports his rom's on tablets which still fits into that rule though the wording hasn't been updated.
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
Oh, you'll find that Tashi is very good at that...
[G Tablet Android Development] jerdog:
Let me sum this up here:

No HC port (which this is) has HD

hardware decoding

.

Software decoding

is all that works on HC ports, including this one.

End of discussion. Move on or else other measures will have to be taken. No more off-topic.

OK, time to have some fun! Hope everyone is having a great day. Here is the next illuminate demo video playing 1920 X 1080 video. Yes that is Samsung Galaxy Tab/PC quality video. The fun is in the video, it is showing 45 free Android games. Since this is an illuminate rom demo video it is not shown in its entirety. Of course you can go to YouTube to see the full video. Also, the world wide web turned 20 years old on August 6, 2011 for a bit of trivia. What did we ever do before we had access to unlimited amounts of quality information? Happy Birthday world wide web!

[YOUTUBE]5v6xtT2HWBo[/YOUTUBE]

Ok, this was shot with my cellphone, and the video is your non-traditional type seeing they are showcasing as many games as they can fit into a limited time slot. I will try to find a more traditional video to showcase the 1920 X 1080 capability of G Tab running illuminate.
[G Tablet Android Development] aasoror:
One would think it makes more sense to sum this up on the first OP as well, this is where the HD HW decoding was first claimed.
[G Tablet Android Development] jerdog:
That is the responsibility of LBS to do so. If he does not, that's on him.

Here is a video on video functionality in HoneyComb. I forgot to add having the right version of Flash for the version of HoneyComb you are running makes a difference.

[YOUTUBE]xiqoYZFMSDE[/YOUTUBE]
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
You're right, this is an Illuminate thread, I just don't want people to think that Their Illuminate Gtablet will produce the same results using hardware decoding as the 2 Xooms that were compared in the video. That video compares 2 different versions of Honeycomb, and the improvements in video from 3.0 to 3.1. It has nothing to do with Illuminate

And to begin with, it's LBS that confuses people, claiming the impossible. You try watching those high def videos of yours using hardware decoding yet?
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
TJEvans, again read the title it is about Flash not Xoom. This is general information for those using the roms since some are using different versions. My version of illuminate 2.0 is based of HC 3.0 while the newer version is based off HC 3.1.

The only thing that is confusing people is when the thread goes off topic. Before you came to the thread this would have been considered a normal general information posting warranting no debate. Some of us have been interacting amongst each other for months.
[G Tablet Android Development] jerdog:
Ok guys. Enough.

@edirector- you're comparing apples to oranges. The gTablet is NOT the Xoom. You cannot show videos showing HD videos being played via Flash on different versions of Honeycomb on DIFFERENT tablets - and claim that its' showing the experience someone would expect on this device. You are misleading those coming to this thread and read your (and the OP's) claims of this ROM doing something of which it cannot do - HARDWARE HD DECODING. The Xoom can. The gTablet cannot. You can't use that video to let people know what to expect on this.

The Xoom is a different HW platform than the gTablet. Bottom line. The gTablet will never get Hardware HD decoding - that's the bottom line too. Accept it. It will also never get OFFICIAL Honeycomb or newer OS support - which would bring Hardware HD decoding. Accept it. You can get SOFTWARE HD decoding though and that's the best you're going to get. Enjoy it.

@TJEvans- just leave it alone. He's not going to listen; he's going to support this ROM because he believes in it. Bottom line. And he can do that. You're jumping into another thread and it's just not going to work.

Move on or the next person (not just you two) involved in spouting stuff about Hardware HD Decoding or going off topic in this thread will get infracted. If you REALLY must discuss this - go to the General forum.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Wow, Jerdog that was quite a stretch. Most of these type videos we would be in shock to see them use G Tab as the test tablet. You know the high scrutiny of everything posted here and the suspicious overtone of the response postings is making it difficult for us to have any sense of community on this thread.

I for one am not fixated on hardware or software coding acceleration or any of that stuff it is a non issue for me. I am posting videos I am able to play on G Tab and some may just want to know how I did it. I thought the point of a thread was to share with other users our experiences or troubles using the roms. I not getting the tone of this at all. Actually the thread feels very unfriendly.
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
Apologies Jerdog, I just feel that I must make the point that LBS can not be trusted, and never could be. It was a conversation just like this that got him banned from <the other android forum that must not be named here>.

There is, in fact, a thread in the General section called "Froyo or Honeycomb." If Edirector would like to posts his videos showing the general advantages of Honeycomb, that could be a place to post them, I assume. Of course, with the disclaimer that software decoding is needed to watch them.

That was the thread that contained all of my (unsubstantiated as they may be) tests with both OS showing what is, and what isn't possible, including thorough testing with the Illuminate Rom, as well as Flashback.

I'll direct my comments there, if the need arises. But I still hold true to the principle that any developer posting a Rom, should be truthful in his claims of the abilities of the Rom. His Rom appearing here, could potentially effect the integrity of XDA as far as new user traffic is concerned. After all, this is the only open community site that is hosting a Honeycomb Rom that "has working hardware acceleration." The truth after the fact could dissapoint quite a few newbies.

Once again, my apologies, I'll cease, with the hopes that LBS actually comes here to explain himself on his own development thread.
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
<disclaimer: this is relevent to this thread directly>

I guess LBS won't be coming here...I just noticed that he edited his initial post in response to Jerdog's Mod edit:

Nice to know that he has respect for the rules.
