If volume control isn't working, maybe you should try wiping and reflashing. Volume control works fine on mine. I used to have a similar issue with vegan 5.1.1 where i would have to toggle the volume on and off then reboot to get it to work properly.

Also to the other people, download wireless tether for root users. Then you can tether your android phone to this rom with no problem. I did it for hours last night and it worked perfectly without a single issue.

I am coming from VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1. I wiped the cache and did a full wipe/factory reset. After flashing this ROM and rebooting, I was stuck at a black screen. I went back into recovery, wiped again, flashed the ROM, then did another wipe. After rebooting, I'm now stuck at the notionink screen. It's been here for about 10 minutes now. What plan of action do you suggest?
[G Tablet Android Development] tenet420:
I just flashed this ROM and had the same problem.

Here's what I did and was able get past it. Afterwards, it took 4 mins to pass the notionink screen and another 2 mins to pass the adam boot-animation:

*Make sure you are on the 1.1bl and .8 CWM :)

1.Wipe/format data

Wipe cache

2.Wipe/format data

Wipe cache

3.Wipe/format data

Wipe cache

4. Install GtabComb from zip

5.Wipe/format data

Wipe cache

6.Wipe/format data

Wipe cache

7.Wipe/format data

Wipe cache

8.Partition SD card (not sd-ext) 2048, 0

9.Reboot System

10.Enjoy!

I know it may sound lame, but I use this formula to completley clean out my phones/tab any time I know that I followed procedures correctly and still have a problem. I have a Dinc1, OG-Droid, and the Gtab and this has worked for me on all three.

Now time to change the notionink AND adam animations to something a little more my style...

Hope you get it.

Ok, liking this ROM!

I see it is a Clemsyn kernel now which may explain why I can't mount my sd-card to PC.

Just for the heck of it, I downloaded Multi-Mount SD-card Lite and IT WORKS!

I can mount my SD-card to PC. It uses a widget in the free, automounts in paid, and it keeps the SD accessible from the tab at the same time.

Excellent

[G Tablet Android Development] residentorca:
Installed the beta on GF's gTab after trying last alpha. Liked the beta a bit better. 1.5 GHz was stable for the few hours I played with it; Quadrant scores pushing 4K with performance setting. The only FC was Gallery, which happened right at startup but app worked fine later. Some video and sound sync issues on both alpha and beta. If you are stuck w/1.1 bootloader and want to try HC, this seems to be the ROM for now.

Home buttons don't work. Kind of annoying. Otherwise a solid build.

update:

Changed my mind. Home buttons not working is VERY annoying.

update #2: wiped and reflashed per midnightslide's suggestion and home buttons are now working. back to loving it.
[G Tablet Android Development] midnightslide:
Home buttons work great for me. You may want to reflash and see if that fixes the problem.

On a separate note, the boot time is pretty ridiculous! (especially the first time around.) haha.

Pretty damn solid release. If it had full flash support, this would definitely be my go-to rom.

Regarding Tethering

BLUETOOTH: UPDATE - I was not able to get PAN (Bluetooth) tethering to work with Alpha1.6. After installing the Beta, PAN tethering is working just fine.

USB: I was able to get USB tethering to work fairly easily.

The market is acting a bit odd. Sometimes when I give the okay to install a new app, it launches the last app I installed.

Overall, it's a great rom. I anxiously await the next release.

Reset /Wipe

Check my post of a couple minutes ago. Because Zyhong did not previously recommend Reset/Wipe, I did not. But I have been having some problems so I DID go back and clear the whole shabang.

You can Wipe the cache (and the Dalvik) and not lose any data. But if you Reset to Factory, you WILL loose all user data and it will be like you just flashed the current rom (it does not overwrite the rom). It clears the INTERNAL SD Card so all data there is also lost. (Inquiring minds want to know.)
[G Tablet Android Development] raywaldo:
Permissions problem

Sounds to me like a permissions problem. Use CMR to "fix permissions." You will not lose data and it will often repair Force Close issues also.

[G Tablet Android Development] raywaldo:
Font Size

Some of the Browsers allow you to set a minimum font size.

In browsers and many other apps, you can pinch-and-squeeze or reverse

For extreme cases, a screen reader is available: Settings - accessiblity :eek:
[G Tablet Android Development] aasoror:
so you set the partitions to 2048/32 ?

Do you think a 32MB swap would make a significant impact on a 512MB RAM device ? back in the old days we used to set the swap partition at 2x the RAM, now the general advice is to use increments of .5 the RAM size (256MB) and increase if needed.

Bluetooth MAC address / PAN tethering

Hi. Great ROM.

Does anybody else's Bluetooth MAC address appear as 43:29:b0:00:00:00?

These threads make me suspect that this could be what's causing my BT PAN client to fail:

forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/18413-bluetooth-mac-address-incorrect/

code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=905

I haven't gotten into hacking the boot.img yet, so I haven't tried fixing it. Anyone else seeing the same thing?

-------------

Some more info:

I use wireless tether (in BT PAN mode) on my phone, and these commands on my gtab:

pand --connect <phone's BT MAC>

ifconfig bnep0 down

dhcpcd bnep0

setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8

This worked alright on VeganTab Ginger (and iirc I had a real BT MAC in that ROM).

Now (in GtabComb), dhcpcd appears to exit immediately, and does not output anything. And it is certainly not getting an IP address from wireless tether.
[G Tablet Android Development] ptgptg:
Thanks, but I was looking for a "system font" change. In looking for something to change, I found the screen reader, but thankfully, I am not yet at that stage, although I am currently typing this with my granny glasses on!

[G Tablet Android Development] dman918:
Thanks for the last reply. I have a new issue. I am having some force closes. One is whenever I try the facebook widget. The other is when I first turn on the tablet. It reads "The application gallery (process com.android.gallery3d) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". I went into Clockworkmod and fixed permissions. Still not working. Any advice?

Also, when you first load your gmail account, it asks if I want to load my previous settings and such. I did say yes. Could that be the problem?

Thanks for everyone's help!

[G Tablet Android Development] raywaldo:
Force Close

Some of those FCs are probably because the Wifi has not yet connected and therefore the app cannot reach the required data. Many of us get the Gallery FC upon first boot. Unless it does it regularly at other times, just ignore it.

Of course, if a single app gives a lot of FCs (not related to wifi), then open Settings- Applications - Find the app and clear the data.
[G Tablet Android Development] dman918:
Is there a way to avoid the gallery FC? I'd like to try to eliminate FCs (as I am sure everyone does).
[G Tablet Android Development] raywaldo:
Stuck at birds

This is called a "soft brick." It can be fixed.

You probably tried to use the wrong version of CMR or you flashed a ROM based on the version 1.1 bootloader onto your GTab which still has the version 1.2 bootloader.

I have a SIMPLE, step-by-step guide to clear it and get you going. Visit NVFlash for Dummies on my site.
[G Tablet Android Development] raywaldo:
Honeycomb

Vegan is getting pretty old and there are a lot of newer roms. If you want to flash 2.3 then I recommend CM7.0.3 - it is full-featured and stable.

However, THIS THREAD is all about Zyhong's EXCELLENT Honeycomb rom.:D It is HC v. 3.0.1. You can visit the 1st post in this thread for his guide to install.

I have built a SIMPLE set of instructions to install this (or almost any other compatible ROM) on the G-Tablet.

Visit New Guide for Rooting the ViewSonic G-Tablet to start. Or, see my review of Zyhong's ROM (with links to the install guide) here: HoneyComb on GTab!

Installed gtabcomb earlier this week, runs excellent, though i cant seem to access my external_sd (16gb microsd) card when it's in the tablet after i hook up the tablet to my computer with USB storage on.

I can save files to the internal sdcard from My Computer, but can't access the external_sd card.

[G Tablet Android Development] dman918:
So would I be best off to just wipe and reinstall again, but this time not restore from my gmail backup? Could that lower my number of force closes and/or increase performance?
[G Tablet Android Development] zyhong:
If you do not mind that market could mess up a little bit, you could try increasing the lcd_density in /system/build.prop (e.g. from 120 to 140. 160 is the default before HC, which is for phone). It is easy enough to do it by yourself or you could find some app from the market to do it.

Thanks for the reply, I tried to flash "GtabComb b3.2 bl1.2.zip" is this the correct Rom?
[G Tablet Android Development] zyhong:
do you check the /external_sd or /mnt/external_sd folder? i have no problem to access a 4gb micro sdcard
[G Tablet Android Development] zyhong:
since your are in vegan and you do not know too much about the difference between bl1.1 and bl1.2, you should have a 1.1 bootloader and GtabComb b3.2 bl1.1.zip is the one you should use.
[G Tablet Android Development] billsan101:
I probably worded my question a bit confusingly, the microsd works fine in the tablet, i meant i simply can't access the microsd (external_sd) from my computer, when the tablet is plugged into my computer (via usb, with usb storage on). I can see the both storage drives in 'my computer' (sdcard/external_sd) but i can only access the sdcard.
[G Tablet Android Development] blacksea1:
My Gtab doesnt have the stock rom, according to you stock rom has a bootloader version 1.2, so i should have a 1.1, why i need to downgrade
[G Tablet Android Development] zyhong:
stock rom has both 1.1 and 1.2 depends on which version it is. both vegan 5.1 and vegan-ge-7.0 only works for 1.1. The only vegan-ge-7.0 works for 1.2 is the one I build, and I believe if you have flashed the vegan-ge-7.0 for BL1.2, you should know the difference between 1.1 and 1.2 quite well. I would suggest you read this post (and all other excellent post in xda for gtab, e.g. how to nvflash, etc) first before you flash this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1035983

And do NOT flash until you are super clear about which bootloader you are at right now, or you are very confident that you have no problem to use nvflash to solve soft brick problem in case it happens.

"Installation was unsuccessful" message when installing large apps

For those of you who are getting the "Installation was unsuccessful" message when trying to install apps that prefer installation to SD:

Try unmounting /mnt/sdcard (Settings -> Storage -> MicroSD -> Unmount shared storage) then go back to the market and try installing the app again.

I can't figure out why it can't put apps to SD (or "Move to USB storage" in Applications -> Manage applications -> Application Info). A first guess is that it might have something to do with data2loop (since both mount loop devices in /mnt/asec). Or are the permissions on /mnt/asec incorrect (0755)? Or maybe is it wanting to put apps to the physical microSD? I tried with a USB memory stick inserted and it didn't work.

Other things I tried:

1. I tried clearing cache and data from Market - no effect

2. I tried deleting my (empty) /mnt/sdcard/.android_secure directory - again, no effect, and it has not yet been recreated

So i got the Gtab a week or so ago and have been running 3.1 and loving it just wanting to know the best way to update to 3.2.

do i just need to do a factory reset and data wipe in CWM or should i go back to a stock rom and then update?
[G Tablet Android Development] aasoror:
Just update from CWM then clear the cache and dalvik cache.

Everything should remain intact after the upgrade.

If you notice problem then go back and do factory reset and data wipe.

There is no need to go to stock rom.

Launcher

This rom is running pretty well for me. Sometimes when you are playing with them so much you forget some of the obvious things you learned a month ago. I was a little frustrated because I couldn't do much with the launcher that comes with this rom. I upgraded from Vegan Ginger and restored my apps with Titanium Backup. At first I didn't bother with the launcher but then I realized I could restore that as well including all the settings. I restored my VTL launcher by gojimi and now I have the best of both worlds. Nothing major really but just a reminder that we can change the look a bit by changing the launcher. Sadly, my thumb keyboard doesn't seem to work on this rom. I wen searching though and found "hacker's Keyboard" which is quite interesting and works well. Like another writer, I wish there was an easy way to make the font bigger - I'll keep looking and if anything turns up I'll post it. Well we got our first wish - honeycomb now all we need are the video drivers - it could happen - these devs are pretty resourceful. Thanks for the great rom!:)
[G Tablet Android Development] zyhong:
in b3.2, the cpu might run on 216mhz speed for up to one minute after you try to wake up the device. this is one of the change i have made to save some power when machine on sleep state. so, after you push the power button, it could take a long while to response since it is running in quite low speed (depends on how many app the system needs to wake up, i have never had these problems maybe because i use them quite light) and you will feel like it is dead (SOD) or freeze. if this rom go somewhere, i might start to make these parameters configurable in UI. for now, you will have to be more patience when you wake the device up, or you could change this in the script (/system/etc/init.d/02cpufreq_screenstate_scaling). Just search "sleep 60" and change it to a value you want it to be (i suggest 5-10).

Bluetooth PAN tethering

I'm wondering if my BT PAN (tethering) problem is kernel related. Somebody in this thread said it worked on beta 2. I just loaded up b2.0 and my BT MAC address looks normal (not the generic one).

What would it take for me to try Clemsyn's kernel on b3.2 (bl 1.1)?
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
If this ROM uses an unmodified Pershoot kernel, then it will not support swap (see line 44, here). I would use that 32MB for something other than swap.
[G Tablet Android Development] zyhong:
i would NOT think changing to Clemsyn's kernel would help you fixing this. one place you could look at is /system/etc/bluetooth folder, especially the bdaddr file in it.
[G Tablet Android Development] akman:
I've looked at the /system/etc/bluetooth folder (the contents of bdaddr are 00:22:33:44:77:00 - not the generic 43:29:B0:00:00:00 MAC address). Permissions on bdaddr look alright (bluetooth:bluetooth I think).

I've also tried changing the MAC address in a terminal emulator using the bdaddr command. Whenever I change the MAC address, the UI is no longer able to interact with the device (ie for setting Discoverable or Pairing). And resetting the device with hci_config (or turning off bluetooth and turning it back on) always sets the MAC address back to the generic value.

I have b2.0 loaded right now, and I'll try BT PAN later. I'll also load up b2.1 later and see if BT PAN works. If it works on b2.0 but not on b2.1, and if the only difference between b2.0 and b2.1 is the kernel, then that would make me think this is a kernel issue.

Why do you think that Clemsyn's kernel won't help here?

Can't install on internal SD ? Here is a fix ...

You are sure not alone, for some unknown reason every single question raised about this issue is dodged !! perhaps because its not present under bl 1.2 ? (I had to go to another forum just to this confirmation).

Its a bug, there is a mismatch between the mount labels in vold.fstab and init.rc

So what I did is switching the devices mount labels in the vold.fstab (you can use root-explorer or similar to do it) from

dev_mount [B][COLOR="Red"]microsd [/COLOR][/B]/mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2
# todo: the secondary sdcard seems to confuse vold badly
dev_mount [B][COLOR="red"]sdreader [/COLOR][/B]/mnt/external_sd auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
dev_mount usbdisk1 /mnt/usbdisk auto /devices/platform/tegra-ehci

To

dev_mount [B][COLOR="SeaGreen"]sdreader [/COLOR][/B]/mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2
# todo: the secondary sdcard seems to confuse vold badly
dev_mount [B][COLOR="SeaGreen"]microsd [/COLOR][/B]/mnt/external_sd auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
dev_mount usbdisk1 /mnt/usbdisk auto /devices/platform/tegra-ehci

Now everything is working as expected, ofcourse using an externalSD seems to mess up whatever installed on the internal one (till its removed and the gtab reboots). Getting this fixed is beyond the scope of my interest as I am used to using the gtab with just the internal storage.

I will upload an update.zip to the thread whenever I have enough time.

Zyhong, would you consider incorporating this into your future releases ?
