FYI- Android Market fix

LBS - Thanks for the great ROM, and thanks to all you guys for the support. I updated from iluminate 2.2 to 3.0 but had issues, the I NVflashed+clear all caches+Flashed Iluminate 3.0 and got it to work great however even when I ran 2 times the caches I had an issue with the Android market not being able to download apps and getting a "unsuccesful Download" error.

so I tried the following:

1.-Open Settings.

2.-Select Applications.

3.-Select Manage Applications.

4.-Select Market.

5.-Select Clear cache.

6.-Press the back button (takes you back to list of installed applications)

7.-Select Download Manager.

8.-Select Clear data.

You should now be able to download successfully from the Market.

Hope this helps anyone out there with the same issues.

I agree with most people on the blue color on the theme, and love the unlocking icon.

Currently issues in my GTAB are:

1.- Pulse not loading news, getting only white screen (re-flashed iluminate 3.0 2 times)

2.-Flash works on most pages with opera in Desktop agent

3.-Flash Video "ghost" in Standard Quality and lines on 480p and not working on 720 (I know flash still an issue)

4.- Stock Browser a little slower than Iluminate 2.2

5.- Touch sensitive "harder" than 2.2

6.- sometimes when putting to sleep tablet it goes all the way and shutdown

7.- Only "shutdown" option when power button is pressed.

8.-Gallery 3D force closes on startup in home screen.

I'm not complaining at all this is the best thing that happened to my GTAB, I just wan to contribute somehow.

Thanks the community for all your efforts and keep the great work.

There is some sort of issue with programs that display web pages. Out of curiosity, I switched to gtabcomb 3.3 and dolphin works fine with that ROM. I even installed without the stock browser with no issues. Also, sketchbook pro (for tablets) displays web pages in the help/info files and in Illuminate 3 I was getting blank pages just like with dolphin.

It is definitely slower than gtabcomb, but it has been rock solid so far with the only fc being the gallery upon boot (and not even all the time for that).

Keep up the good work LBS.

Anybody knows if Netflix works on this rom? Has anybody tried it or will it be supported in the future?
[G Tablet Android Development] nccu_eagles:
Yes Netflix works.
[G Tablet Android Development] Ronyx:
Ok, so i got it installed, and i noticed it uses it's own launcher. Is there a way to configure it? because i couldn't find how.
[G Tablet Android Development] nvanlaar:
???

Just login use your netflix account.
[G Tablet Android Development] DarkAngel:
I am at the same cross road as you. I will try as edirector stated to see if it works for me.
[G Tablet Android Development] Ronyx:
I had something similar, are you using CWM to install Illuminate 3.0? or are you using the stock recovery? I was using CWM .8 and it would get stuck in an endless loop, then i used the stock recovery and it worked fine after that. Also i had to wipe/cache data after illuminate 3.0 was installed to get past the endless boot loop. Hope it helps.
[G Tablet Android Development] Ronyx:
Anybody knows if there are any themes or any way to configure how many main screens and rows and so on. I can't find anything to configure the default Launcher.

Thanks.

Ok so I was having trouble with all Apps that use a webpage in their apps (Pulse, FriendMe, Etc) and emailed the dev of Reddita ( a Redditor reader) and this was his response:

And the modified apk works like a charm. But what is the problem?
[G Tablet Android Development] aasoror:
Can anyone running this rom check and report back ..

TIA
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Where is the apk link it is not showing?
[G Tablet Android Development] Ronyx:
lol 1fps. it says on the changelog that hardware acceleration should be working. maybe I'm missing something
[G Tablet Android Development] real0325:
Yes wipe data to get pass, then restore back up data to get everything back.
[G Tablet Android Development] macbroom:
8 FPS on Brilliant Corners, stock kernel and not overclocked.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
I would choose Bottle of Smoke over that one because it is based on HoneyComb. That rom reminds you of when you first got g tab. I tried it about 3 months ago. Did he fix the unmovable row of icons at the bottom? That's the only thing I didn't like about it. Have you tried this one?
[G Tablet Android Development] macbroom:
I tried it a few updates back, but my WiFi was borked and I was getting FCs.

The icons are still there but I use VLT Launcher. I love Brilliant Corners, everything works perfect even the camera. It also has full HW acceleration, not the imaginary kind like this ROM!
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Aren't you on the wrong thread? This one is for illuminate and users come here to discuss it not some older rom with an odd sized row of buttons at the bottom with the tap n tap functioning look and appeal. People are here because they want HC and mainly illuminate. You would be better off plugging the stock rom derivative on that thread, if that thread is still open. Last time you were on here plugging Flashback as being great so you went backwards from that to the one you are endorsing now. I can't see why anyone would take your advice.

Have you even used this from? Because if not we all, and many here have told you we don't want to discuss anything but this rom and we would appreciate it if you would respect that.
[G Tablet Android Development] macbroom:
You asked me two questions and I answered them. 1 FPS....I'm still laughing!

Why don't you comment on that?
[G Tablet Android Development] HD2FORNICK:
Speaking of this ROM. Does this have HW accelerators or not?
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Yes on the first page of the thread he outlines it as such. You can get the full listing from there of what's in it.
[G Tablet Android Development] HD2FORNICK:
Contrary to claims, this ROM behaves exactly as ALL the other HC ROMS. The default browser opens mobile versions of websites and not the full versions a la Brilliant Corners.

Downloaded flash and Opera from the market and while Opera plays the intro to a video fine, it does not play the man video. I think claims of HW acceleration in this rom are premature IMHO or I am doing something wrong.
[G Tablet Android Development] nvanlaar:
There is a setting in the browser that controls this. Brilliant Corners has "Desktop" set as the default for the browser. So what. You are free to choose the same for this or any other rom.

[G Tablet Android Development] HD2FORNICK:
Tries different settings in default browser and opera yet no website video. Am I doing something wrong?
[G Tablet Android Development] dan.expo:
I thought just for reference you might want to know:

my XOOM on HC 3.2 Stock only gets 5FPS on that mozilla test.
[G Tablet Android Development] tsukaza:
Quick question on the 3.0 Beta, is the camera working?

Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] nvanlaar:
?? Not sure. Flash in opera works fine for me... regardless of the client setting.

[G Tablet Android Development] nvanlaar:
No. It doesn't work in any HC from that I am aware of.

[G Tablet Android Development] macbroom:
Thanks for your post as it provides a baseline for hardware accelerated HC.

So where does that put this ROM at 1 FPS?
[G Tablet Android Development] tsukaza:
Thanks for the quick reply, I am going to try 3.0 and see how it runs verse Gtabcomb.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Try smart flash from market I can play HD in Opera browser. Give it time to set in and you must have adobe flash 10.3.25.1 or 10.3.25.2 on first and reboot in between each install.
[G Tablet Android Development] macbroom:
Ok, so I am going to comment on my own post, which is not out of the norm on this thread.

The cat is out of the bag....this Rom is NOT hardware accelerated, and we all know that all the roms offer 3d acceleration so that is no defense.

LBS you should offer up with a HW accelerated update or edit your OP if you don't want us to continue to badger you. This is in the interest of new gTab users who have not had the time to read the threads here and on other sites and may actually believe your BS about the most "stable" HC ROM and HW acceleration.
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
At the same time though, it does get a bit annoying that LBS continues ot make claims htat he can neither support, or demonstrate. How was he able ot get hardware accelearation on a Rom that has no drivers available for it to function properly? Many, MANY people have asked for confirmation and have received none.

i will be truthfully honest in saying that I have not flashed Illluminate. The reason that I haven't is becuase of the false claims that LBS continues to make, without being able to show that it's functioning accoridng to said claims.

Somebody pointing that out is not necessarily somebody that needs a "release." What we want is honesty. Viewsonic does enough lying and deception for us, we don't need any more.
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
I've also noticed that Edirector is a die hard LBS supporter, yet he can't even confirm if hardware accelearation is working. lbs was banned from slatedroid, not becuase if what other's were saying in his threads, but because he/they can never substantiate their own claims. He claimed to be the savior for web based flash working on Honeycomb, when in reality, using a browser that supports flash on HC is all that's needed. they are popping up in the market now. Look at the descriptions of some browser apps. Some will say "experimental flash for honeycomb.' I'll bet that those ones all have fla working on them...

From the history I've read in various forums regarding illuminate, LBS happens upon a trick, then claims that he fixed something. All he's doing is deceiving people. And anyone that questions it is immediately attacked by Edirector and other minions.

I'll bow out now, just wanted to make my observations, and agree that people need to confirm that hardware acceleration is working, and how, or else, LBS needs to explain how he can make that claim. Unless he works at Nvidea, he has no drivers to accomplish what he claims to have.
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
Edirector. This is the FIRST time I've ever posted on any of LBSs threads. I'm holding off on using honeycomb as a daily driver simply becuase of the lack of hardware acceleration. I have also never tried any gingerbread roms for the same reason. They are all incomplete roms, and will continue to be until Nvidea makes drivers available to either Viewsonic, or 3rd party developers.

When I read that hardware acceleration was working on this rom, I was curious, so started to read the thread. I got to the recent posts regarding the acceleration in question, and it's been requested that it be confirmed that it is, in fact working. Now, you being the most devoted follower of LBS and user of this wonderfully beautiful rom, should be the ideal person to be able to confirm that it IS actually working. Instead, you simply ended up belittling the people that question it, and offend the mentally handicapped by comparing them to me (trust me, they are a lot smarter)

So, I and many others still would like to know, DOES HARDWARE ACCELERATION ACTUALLY FUNCTION ON THIS ROM, OR IS LBS CONTINUING TO MAKE CLAIMS THAT HE CAN NOT SUPPORT?

If it can be confirmed, I may actually try out illuminate. But until I receive confirmation, I'll stick with the complete and fully functional Brilliant Corners.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
I didn't belittle you but you have to grow up and realize what matters to you does not matter to everyone else. The rom works for me and as with every rom i try and i am on my 6 or 7 one i first read the description and if I don't like it i reflash something else not badger the users who actually like the rom. Brilliant corners i tried and reflashed something else immediate for me only that gui was horrible. A lot worst than what g tab shipped with. But if you like it good. Did you find any comments of me posting on the brilliant corners thread like saying it is less than brilliant and the gui was horrible? No, why bother? That's because it may look good to someone other than myself and what I experienced doesn't apply to everyone else.

Why spoil it for those who actually like the rom. Stop posting the negative comments and if you can't read the description or actually flash the rom to see what's up then email the developer. Just because we use the rom we are not obligated to answer your questions, stop being lazy and discover it for yourself. Your opinion may differ from ours.
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
Edirector...all other devs that post on forums DO actually take the time to respond to question ON THOSE FORUMS. Likewise, in just about every rom thread tat exists, the people that use the rom answer questions proposed by those that are curious about it. do you see how many "thank yous" I have. That's because I answered peoples questions, both about hardware, roms I'm using, rom's I've used, or just general questions regarding the Gtablet. for some odd reason, though, it seems that a question can never get answered on an LBS thread. Whether it's his kernel, or his rom.

I'm not going to go through the trouble of backing up everything, flashing illuminate, restoring apps that I want to test, only to find out that hardware accelration was a lie. the reason it's questioned, is because it's pretty well known that the Gtablet can not have hardware acceleration in Honeycomb, or Gingerbread. Then, when I find out that his claim is fraud, I'll have to reflash, and re-store my previous setup, hoping that I don't muck it up in the process.

and when I do find out that it's not working as reported, and I DO come back here to report as such, will I get an apology for questioning the claim to begin with?

I'd rather save myself the trouble and just ask the people that ARE using it. Many people HAVE asked this one simple question, and yet, nobody has been answered yet. Does hardware acceleration actually work?
[G Tablet Android Development] nccu_eagles:
First off how hard is it to MAN up and simply flash a rom? Doing a backup takes no time at all so you have absolutely nothing to lose. Secondly as with most things in life the rom you choose is a matter of preference, what is awesome to me may not be so to you. To solve your problem/question I have no problem testing what ever app you want me to test and I will give you an honest result of whether or not I was able to successfully complete the task... which apps would you like me to test? don't give me 50 apps to test LOL I will do four...
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Yet you flashed that horrible rom BC. I didn't keep it 2 seconds after seeing the desktop, yuck. The icons at the bottom aren't even properly sized for the screen. Stop being lazy, if you can help other people out of a bad rom as you claim, then you can help yourself. Before you get started as for that dev of that rom I normally love his work and like him as a personality. That rom was not his best work and who goes from the HC gui to GB or a stock derivative? I love the HC gui and LBS has taken it steps further with the custom boot screens.

I use my g tab for watching youtube, 1920p x 1080p movies, podcasts, cruising the web and listening to music. So whatever features you are referring to I can not answer your question nor do I care to. This rom does everything I want it to do and if it didn't I would flash to something else in a heart beat.
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
Fair enough, of course, if it's a paid app that you do not have, then I don't expect you to buy it just for testing purposes...

first, please got to http://demos.hacks.mozilla.org/openweb/HWACCEL/ in your browser and run the test and post the results of the FPS hardware acceleration test.

Fieldrunners - every HC port I've tried so far has various errors with this game. Some will freeze, while others will allow play, but upon exiting I get a black screen freeze. I can select home, settings, etc. from both the capacitive and soft buttons, but the screen will never change.

riptide GP - HC roms seem to have slower running graphics, and a bit choppy, even when overclocked. Does the jetski motion seem smooth, as well as the reflections in the water?

Zombiebooth - you take a picture with the camera and process it to make yourself look like a zombie (Of course, I AM joking about this one...I know that the camera doesnt' work on ANY HC roms as of yet...just wanted to lighten the mood a bit)

I think that riptide and raging thunder 2 are my 2 most graphics intensive games, as far as speed is concerned...knowing that those run smoothly would be nice. I suggested riptide, because it doesn't require additional data to be downloaded prior ot startup...
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
E, first off, of the Hc roms I've tried, I actually didn't like the stock launcher (which is the ONLY HC launcher available right now) I use launcherpro for all of the roms I use, including HC roms. It's customizable, widgets can be resized, I can put 10x10 icons on any given screen. I can add or subtract screens, and not be stuck with 5. your problem isn't with the rom, it's with the launcher. BC runs VTL launcher as it's default launcher, but it can be changed (oh, and the bottom dock can also be turned off completely in VTL.

Secondly, BC wasn't really the work of JUST Roebeet. BC is a 1.2 bootloader port of Vegan 5.1.1, developed by the Vegantabdevs TEAM's a port of the Advent vega firmware.

I'm happy that you are so impressed with the GUI of Illuminate, but I guess I just realize that beauty is not skin deep. There is a lot more in a Rom than some pretty pictures. Windows Vista looked pretty too, but it didn't function worth a damn.

edit: OH, I forgot, you can also change the Gtablet's startup screens to pretty much whatever you want htem to be as well. This wasn't a major breakthrough for LBS, people have been doing it for a while
[G Tablet Android Development] nccu_eagles:
about to start now give me a few...
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
take your time...I'm staying awake to give my son medicine in a couple hours...he ended up getting a viral infection while at the hospital for a tonsillectomy...and to think, they said they needed ot keep him overnight afterward to PREVENT INFECTION!!!

If you need a download source for riptide, let me know...it's a cool game if you don't already have it
[G Tablet Android Development] nccu_eagles:
sorry to hear about your kid, I have a 12yr old and a 2yr old myself. As for the results here they are...

Fieldrunners I didn't try because I didn't want to buy LOL (my luck the 15 mins refund window would expire)

Riptide GP- I played the Demo and it was smooth the water looked great and the steering worked properly

Zombiebooth- Duh no camera

Raging Thunder 2- I played the Lite free version it was only half screen for some reason? but it also worked well and the steering (moving the tablet like a wheel) worked properly there was no lag or anything.

Now the Acceleration tests were funny! The stock browser wouldn't show the "start" button for the test no matter what I tried! I tweaked every possible setting so I just gave up. I then tried Opera Browser and it allowed me to do the test but took forever to finish I received a 1FPS which made me curious as to what my phone would get (HTC SENSATION) and my phone got a 12FPS so it's safe to assume that my phone is better than my tablet LMBO

HTC SENSATION 4G

Well, I hope this helps and we can some how stop all the flaming!!! :D
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
I guess you glossed over the part where I said this rom does everything I need it to do and I stated specifically what I use my g tab for. I can access my c-panel, check my web posts, proof-read my articles after creation, surf the web, watch 1980p x 1080p (samsung galaxy tab HD quality youtube videos & movies), watch streaming netflix movies, podcasts (audio & video HD) and I can audio stream the podcast while surfing the web. Check multiple pop email accounts without opening a web browser all from a glance at my desktop and analyze my wifi signal. I think function is pretty much on point don't know how it could get any better and GUI is the icing on the cake.

I had bought LauncherPro back when I was running stock so I still have a paid copy but I don't need it the GUI on this one is so sweet no add-ons needed. Very little customization required with this rom and I have been driving it for 45 days or more with no inclination to change and I am prone to changing roms that's the fun of g tab.

I am so past that stock rom look and functioning in a rom and I really like HC it takes less steps to do what I need to do and I have more time to actually enjoy the tablet. But to each his own.

I do very little gaming so the things that appeal to you doesn't matter to me. If you read the comments of the majority of posters on this thread most are pleased with the rom it is pretty incredible. There are a lot of tablets on the market and this rom by GUI and functioning puts it in the league of some of the best and all have their shortcomings. I was considering buying another tab before illuminate for HC and the features that come with it. No need to now, I have saved $500 or more.
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
Thanks NCCU. I don't blame you for not downloading fieldrunners. I actually got it for free from Amazon a few weeks abck, and now I'm addicted to it.

Raging thunder, yeah, it's a tricky beast...if you liked the game, just do a google search for "raging thunder 2 tegra apk." The market version will, more than likely, not work at all. It doesn't even work on Froyo versions. I found one that does work, though.

and yeah, I threw zombiebooth in there as a joke, knowing that camera doesn't function. In fact, even with the camera functioning, I think I may have used it....let's see...once, I took a picture, then said "blech, what horrible quality." Believe it or not, our 1.3 mp camera is actually better than BOTH cameras on the iPad 2.

Now, for the hardware acceleration test. that test proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt that hardware acceleration does NOT work on this rom. On BC, OCed at 1400, my result is 10FPS.

And I do apologize to both you and Edirector. I didn't mean to flame, troll, or spam. I, like others, merely wanted confirmation of a claim made by the OP, LBS, that mardware acceleration was, in fact working as stated. Now that we can all confirm that it is not working, that matter can be put to rest. We just need the OP to post that it isn't working, and remove it from the rom description.

I truely have no issues with you, nor Edirector. It's LBS. He needs to substantiate his claims or new users will flash this rom under false pretences. This is the third time I can remember that he's made a claim that has either been misleading, or false.

During these times where we are trying to get Viewsonic to actually do something, we can't have 3rd party developers, who have given so much, to start acting like them. I understand that you and Edirector endorse this rom. It's not a "my rom is better than your rom" argument for me...Each Rom has it's limitations and quirks, none of which are as extreme as stock could be <shivers>.

We just can not have developers making these false claims at this point in time. Imagine if Viewsonic were to actually be working on getting Nvidea drivers for us (I know, unlikely, but that's why it's a hypothetical) they might see this rom and stop making the attempt because LBS figured it out, so they don't need to. We DO need them to attempt it, if they will. They've relied on 3rd parties for so long, that it's now their turn to do some of the dirty work.
