Only reason I haven't tried BoS yet is the lack of PEAP network authentication, which we use at work (most annoyingly).

Has anyone tried Illuminate with a PEAP enabled wireless network? :confused:
[G Tablet Android Development] 1tytesc:
roebeet,

Glad to hear this. I have been utilizing your creations for some time and appreciate your work.

About to test this Rom.

Thanks linuxboxsolution!
[G Tablet Android Development] xkookkuix:
This looks awesome, downloading now. Very excited.
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
Not yet, but I am guessing it is the same as BoS. It is built off of BoS which comes from HC Adam and Vegacomb. None of those have PEAP.
[G Tablet Android Development] cgingermany:
Ho i didnt catch that is beyond me lol. Thank you guys.
[G Tablet Android Development] Zebwen:
I'm genuinely a little confused here... What has changed in this ROM from BoS exactly? BoS has partial HW acceleration, which is disabled in webview to make webview apps (such as browser and gmail/email) work. What exactly have you done to improve on this? You updated to the libnv*.so and bins from the G-Tabs current CM7 build? Have you fixed the camera?

I can't flash this, as I don't have a G-Tab, but I'm interested to see exactly what is new?

Also, in the first post it says that flash 10.3 doesn't work on Honeycomb... That isn't true, it works fine on the Iconia and the Transformer?

Can someone clear up my confusion?

I flashed this ROM from BoS and could not connect to WIFI. I see other people have this issue as well. I will be watching this thread for an update.
[G Tablet Android Development] familiarstranger:
Just wondering what BoS you were on? I've stayed on 2.4 because wifi is the most stable. Were you able to try the airplane mode trick? I've seen reports its pretty effective in the newer builds.

Basically turn on airplane mode and reboot and allow wifi to initialize before turning off airplane mode.
[G Tablet Android Development] althehokie:
Hey fellas, I posted a workaround with an app in the market a few months back that works perfectly. Perhaps this can be baked into this ROM or Roebeet's.

Get the free app "WiFi Advanced Configuration Editor". Make sure you've added your SSID through the regular settings in the ROM (you don't need to revert back to stock settings). It'll populate within the WiFi Advanced Configuration Editor app. Within the app, you can make the necessary wi-fi adjustments for EAP, etc.

[G Tablet Android Development] jlytle1234:
I am having the wifi issue too. It can see my wifi, but it never gets past trying to get an IP address.

I noticed that Wifi version is unknown in the About Tablet. Can anyone confirm what they have with working Wifi?

How do you activate USB in honeycomb. My computer is recognizing something is plugged in. But honeycomb isnt asking me to activate the USB so I can browse it on my PC.
[G Tablet Android Development] nunjabusiness:
You don't. You use Samba to share on a network. Or the mount option in CWM or use APX mode.

However, I am hoping for a fix for that here any minute now.
[G Tablet Android Development] linuxboxsolution:
I was able to get 1880 on my quadrant score. If you haven't wiped the cache and dalvik cahce this may be why your getting this But it may be for another reason also not a hundred percent sure.

Well BoS only had hardware acceleration for audio now hardware acceleration works for video, at the same time audio quality has improved, wifi should be fixed now with the new changes made but I have to wait for more updates on that.

Wifi is hopefully fixed everyone will let me know hopefully. But as for the USB I think I know what the problem is and I believe it's just trying to mount the device incorrectly but I also have noticed every usb mount app i have downloaded disappears after install and I do not know why this is. At least it kept happening to me.
[G Tablet Android Development] linuxboxsolution:
Going through the WPA supplicant files I don't believe I even saw anything to help with PEAP configuration at all. But If you can point me to a ROM that I can download that works for you and PEAP authentication I will do my best to help on this.
[G Tablet Android Development] goodintentions:
Advanced wifi manager will take care of this problem.
[G Tablet Android Development] linuxboxsolution:
I appreciate the words roebeet. At least the developers and most of the community (There is a few bad eggs :( ) can understand that it's about progression. It's not like either one of us are making money off this. We are doing this for the enjoyment of doing it. Plus I do it because well I just enjoy so so much breaking something and figuring out how to fix it without others. I mean guidance is key but there's nothing better then saying after 12 hours of head banging cussing and smoking cigarettes being able to say "I Finally Got IT":D
[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
HIJACK ALERT!!!!

Switch to electronic cigarettes...They are WONDERFUL. I started using them in January and haven't had an analog cigarette in my lips since January 10th. They are healthier, cheaper, taste better, and don't stink.

I get mine from Thedigitalcig.com right now I'm using a Joye 510 model with peach e-liquid. I'm still getting the nicotine equal of light cigarettes, without the harmful side effects.

Ok, you can have your thread back. I just wanted to let you know that these things work (and no, I get nothing for advertising this at all, except the satisfaction that I may have helped somebody)
[G Tablet Android Development] CodeNinja:
The only one I know for sure worked was Vegan 5.1, not sure of CM worked since I played with it over the weekend. None of the TnT derivatives had PEAP.

Appreciate it :)
[G Tablet Android Development] transitoyspace:
do gps apps load up on this rom, on cm7 roms i always get fc's

also, is it possible to use usb gps on this rom.

thank you
[G Tablet Android Development] goodintentions:
Advanced wifi manager will help you with peap.
[G Tablet Android Development] linuxboxsolution:
Sorry But I if you read the top of the thread it specifically says it is to hard for me to be able to keep up with all the forums and that you can either receive support from the androidtablets.net forum where I ususally check up the most. (The mods may have removed this and if so I'm sorry about that)

You can also either PM me or you can goto LinuxBoxSolution.com and use the contact form. I used to be subscribed to the thread it self but it becomes to overwhelming to sit there and listen to my phone ding all day because of peoples small talk in the threads.

You can ask anyone who tries to personally contact me I do respond and I do try to help them with any problem they are having. But to keep up with each thread is crazy. I'm part of Five Forums, All Google Groups for Android, My Site, Youtube, and a couple other video sites. I promise I make sure I give as much support as possible with out neglecting my family and/or job.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Not true he does respond, if you use his contact form on his site he will responded. SlateDroid is a toxic wasteland of horrible negative posting regarding this rom based on personal issues alone and not specific to the rom.

To responded to the poster stating SlateDroid is a good source for information on this developer when it is not.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
There is no truth on SlateDroid just a personal vendetta against this developer.
[G Tablet Android Development] nunjabusiness:
You are half right. The lack of truth is only because the developer chooses not to answer questions. The threads there should be removed if he is not going to use them as they are intended to be used. He has said as much.

No "vendetta," just a concerted effort to get answers to what should be simple questions. Why would you make a pretense of becoming a part of a community when you have no intention of acting that way?

Hell if you remove the posts asking about exactly what changes were made along with the people agreeing with the questions and then remove the responses that ignore the questions completely and instead make desperately defensive statements - you would have probably half as many pages.
[G Tablet Android Development] macbroom:
Except for the posts of one particular poster it seems like more of a common consensus to me. People are smart enough to read it and decide for themselves.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
You are right about that and it is pure insanity. The way they are approaching it is all wrong. I would personally prefer the developers actually working on their roms then documenting steps. No two people work the same and questioning someone while they may be thinking out their process makes no sense.

If people are willing to provide a service you leave them alone and let them do it in their way not in the way you see fit. These developers owe us nothing and harassing them discourages them. The last time this sort of thing went on Roebeet walked away from this forum. You never know what will set a dev off or will drive them away.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
He is providing a free service it is not like someone owns him because he posts his rom on a forum. I recognize your screen name from reading the posts over there, you are one of the main one's bent on destroying him. You are the problem.

What is sad about this situation is people go through a lot trouble flashing their g tabs to load custom roms and when they get comfortable with one someone like you comes along and aggravates the developer and they end up walking away and going to another forum leaving everyone who is just wanting them to continue updating their rom looking all over the internet for them.

They did that with Roebeet here and he moved over to SlateDroid. What we would like is for people like you to leave the developers alone and let them work the way they want to work.
[G Tablet Android Development] couchmonkey:
loving this rom. anyway to not let the auto rotat to go upside down?
[G Tablet Android Development] nunjabusiness:
You apparently didn't actually read THAT thread either.

Roebeet's departure was due to arbitrary and capricious over-moderating. I can count on one hand the number of users who have criticized Roebeet.

And if anyone HAD actually read the posts here, they would see that I did in fact install this ROM - not once but three times. The large number of FCs and lack of reliable wi-fi made it a non-starter for me but I was willing to try later releases ... until he decided he couldn't be bothered to answer a few questions.

Anyway, I am pretty much done with this non-illuminated thread since there are few voices of reason here.

[G Tablet Android Development] edfernandez2:
I tried flashing this rom through both the 1.2 recovery and through nvflash and it wouldn't get past the splash screen and I've also tried wipe,
[G Tablet Android Development] mindwave:
Just an FYI, Ive been using the latest alpha since it was posted and actually have found I'm using my tablet a LOT more than I used to

thanks guys!

[G Tablet Android Development] mikebb00:
I ended up purchasing Puffin Web Browser, it supports true-flash content and plays everything with no issues. My iPad has Puffin on it and it has no problems with flash-support from any website including Zynga games on Facebook.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Which splash screen? Also, after you do your nvflash you said you are 1.2 did you let 4349 load all the way to the desktop then sideload the illuminate rom so when you power down and turn it on holding the power and the vol plus key you are using the stock cwm to install the rom from sdcard. You will experience a lag the first time when you hit the 3rd screen. If it is well beyond what you think is normal then turn it off and go to cwm and clear the dalvik cache from the advanced tab and do another data wipe. Hope this helps.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
I agree I am happy to have many choices of HC. We never thought we would get here but yet we are. I looked at each version to see which one would work, this was the only version that had everything all worked out openGL, Nvidia libs, hardware acceleration, usb, sdcard in & ext and flash. Stable is an understatement.

I've been using it for over a week now and still am discovering new things to like about it. Another user suggested I try another version of HC but realistically it would be like losing functionality. I always read the user comments before trying any rom and still do for tips and tweaks. What some are still trying to figure out on other roms is already work out on this one. I am waiting to see a flashback video to see the visual of the rom. The GUI on this one is professional.
[G Tablet Android Development] macbroom:
I have to agree with you there edirector, I think that the GUI is quite artistic.
[G Tablet Android Development] skorzo:
Hi, I wanted to post this in Q/A subforum but I get logout when I access that forum.... :-S

The question is, does anybody know how to create and sign a new update.zip for the viewsonic ?

Android Illuminate update.zip includes a recovery.img for CWM Recovery, but this recovery.img doesn't work on Hanspree Hanspad because of buttons mapping.

I have a valid recovery.img for Hanspad and I want to replace the recovery.img of Illuminate Alpha with Hanspad's recovery.img

Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] catman2005:
Impressive ROM

I want to thank everyone for the great work on this ROM.

Last ROM used was the Vegan and it is a huge improvement.

I tried a few time to flash with this ROM with no success.

Finally after reading more I decide it to use my mini SD card to flash it and worked great.

I would like to get back the GenieWidget for weather and news.

Can somebody point me to the right version I have to use?

Thank you for all the help!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] macbroom:
If you would like to thank him personally he is linuxboxsolution/edirector on this site and linuxboxsolution/artistic on the other popular forum.
[G Tablet Android Development] skorzo:
Please...anybody knows?

Thanks....
[G Tablet Android Development] apsawyer65:
Well, that was a heck of a ride but, I finally got Illuminate installed and running. All seems well with the exception that I can not connect to my gmail account. Wifi connects and I can browse the web without issue but, when I try to add my gmail account, it times out stating that I need to connect my wifi.

Anyone else run into this issue?
[G Tablet Android Development] tnap1979:
so far, my only issues with this rom, is the fact that, youtube app does not play ANY videos, i tried updating and re-installing the app, i installed latest flash, that didnt help, ive tried in firefox beta, firefox original, and dolphin browser, they all end up linking to the youtube app, and surprise, no videos,

then sometimes on random, it will lock up and freeze for a few minutes on me, i could be doing anything, its not specific, but it will lock up, and freeze, i leave it alone for 5 to 10 minutes, and its fine,

and of course, that lack of front facing camera use...

i hope thats fixed soon, if its possible,

otherwise... this rom is amazing, better then when i was running vegantab, and a few others ive tried,

saves me from going out to buy some of the more newer tab's just for HC rom usage
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Flash and youtube work in Opera browser just make sure it is enabled in settings. Also if you download TubeMate from amazon app store you can download and watch 1980p x 1080p videos. To fix your freeze problem get super box or some other program which will allow you to free up memory and wipe your cache from the desktop, periodically. Lastly download the kernal update that LBS posted a couple of days ago. Hope this helps...
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
No, but you can try going to cwm under settings advance and wipe dalvik cache and battery. Is your market working? Under settings from the desktop you can go to sync and see if it has been done correctly or delete the account and re-do the sync.
[G Tablet Android Development] edfernandez2:
The very first one that appears, the UN-animated one. I did let the 4349 load all the way then went into it's stock recovery with the blue fonts and tried to install update from internal zip. I've tried clearing dalvik cache, cleared data/factory reset and cleared cache.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
You might have to nvflash it again and follow the steps I outlined but do the wipes and cleaning again. Sometimes the 2nd time is the charm http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1121909&page=2. Also are you partitioned to 2048? And are you using the nvflash that takes you directly to 4349 rom or the regular one?
[G Tablet Android Development] apsawyer65:
I have cleared the Dalvik Cache. Checking sync will do me no good since I can't even complete the account creation, there is no account to delete and re-do.

Maybe I will try a re-install. I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] jph8tr:
Having an issue. I moved to 1.2 tree and installed Illuminate via update.zip. The install goes fine till the end when I get this

Illuminate Process Complete

E:unknown command [bootloader]

E:unknown command [/temp/bootloader.bin]

Inxtall from sdcard complete

When I reboot, it hangs on the Illuminate splash screen. I've waited in excess of 30 minutes for boot, so somethings wrong here. I've wiped cache, dalvik and done factory resets and tried to re install several times to no avail. I am able to access recovery, so I'm not bricked. I also cannot mount sdcard via recovery, so I have no way apparent to re copy the files. Any idea what I've done wrong? Help is greatly appreciated!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] mindwave:
I hate to sound silly, but did you perform code red?

j
[G Tablet Android Development] jph8tr:
Thanks, unfortunately not it. I was able to access the internal mem via my netbook (laptop has flaky usb?). I can flash stock 4349 and the appropriate CWM flashes fine too. When I attempt to install this rom, I get the bootloader error and it hangs on the splash page. I've tried re partitioning and wiped everything several times. Still the error exists. I'm far from a newbie at this and have flashed the tablet more than a dozen times. Most were way more involved than flashing an update zip. What else is there? What am I missing??? This is really starting to bug me.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Did you do a wipe cache partition? Also, you might have to patrician your sd card under advanced in cwm remember to set it to 2048 if you do. G tabs differ so much and some try dozens of roms while others only a few. I was on a 1.2 baseline before trying this one. So my migration was easier.

This one is well worth the effort of figuring out. That's why I say we protect our devs once we find a rom we like because for some of us it is quite a challenge getting the rom on. I hope you can get it worked out because this rom is awesome. This is the only HC dev that works on both the kernel and the rom and you can definitely tell during everyday usage it is stable.
[G Tablet Android Development] mindwave:
only thing I could suggest (because its ALWAYS the last thing I try)

is do a fresh download

I cant tell you how often I beat my head against the wall only to have a corrupt file, either from the download or one of the copies.

just an idea.

j
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Thanks, never entertained the thought the initial file could have been corrupted.
[G Tablet Android Development] jph8tr:
Yeah, I tried that ...4 times in fact. I really tried to get this rom to install but it has something against my specific gtab. No matter what I do, it stalls out on the Illuminate splash screen and never boots. After all the flashing, wiping, downloading and flashing again, I tried Flashback. Though it popped the same bootloader message as this rom, it installed without a hitch. Now why I didn't try another rom before the hours of fighting in vain to get this rom installed is another (sad) thing. Flashback's looking pretty cool, so I'll hang with it for a while and try again with this rom after it's updated (hopefully making it compatable with my gtab). Thanks to everyone who tried to help!
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Hey it happens to the best of us I am on my 2nd g tab so I know what you mean. Bottom-line is guess what? You had a HC option is what most of us want right? So whatever dev we support is good because it keeps everybody in the mix. Have fun with your rom.
[G Tablet Android Development] temporalwar:
1.1

Any plans for 1.1 support?
[G Tablet Android Development] usarmyaircav:
Installed 2.1 today, then saw you had updated to 2.2. Installed that, seems to be running great!!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Thanks I am downloading it now!
[G Tablet Android Development] linuxboxsolution:
This is normal. Don't know specifically why it does it but it is normal and nothing is wrong I promise. ;)
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Oh, that was for another poster. I am working with the rom just fine. I just downloaded and installed 2.2 and am checking it out. Will report back my findings but it is quick. I at first did an install on top of what I had with no wipes. Then I backed up my tweaked out version and did about 3 to 4 wipes just to check it out from a clean install but I didn't need to partitician. Thanks for responding anyway.
[G Tablet Android Development] edirector:
Pros

Over-clocked is an understatement this thing hits the desktop fast. I'm impressed by the quickness. You just touch something and it responds immediately. Everything synced market, gmail, contacts, books etc. Market works every time. Youtube videos work in the default browser now full screen HQ clearly.

Cons

I was able to get the articles to load in 360 news a couple of times but not consistent still needs some work with that, but not pulse yet. I also get one 3D gallery fc when I hit the desktop.

Pros

The advancements out weigh the smaller issues. I picked up my "n" wireless network on my router. All my music showed up even the wma but would not play I have software I can use to convert it to mp3. The default browser is lightening fast even though I prefer Opera. The memory management has definitely been tweaked. Unbelievable the way it processes multimedia files with no lag time. The HD files play like a TV. It downloads HD 27 - 45mb podcasts like it is nothing and they are crystal clear. This is great because when I take g tab on the road I can download 8 to 10 podcasts in less then 10 minutes to watch later. Some of the podcasts are very large files and takes no time to download.

Cons

The rom streams in browser at best 360 in Opera, but, normally I don't waste my time streaming at 720 or below not when I can download and watch at 1920 x 1080p. This rom plays youtube in the browser mostly but it does pick up Youtube movie rentals for those who care about downloading and watching movies rentals from google if you have your browser set to desktop. Expect some ghosting it is far from being clear enough to watch pay per view movies for me, but it will stream them. For others might not be a big deal.

All in all, it is stable and the speed of it is, wow. Haven't benchmarked it yet though. Nice job LBS, I'm loving the no lag time.
