We got quite some download on b2.1 for BL1.2 and nobody complain that it does not work for them. Usually we will shout if things do not work well for us and will be silent if things going well. So, "no news is good good news", and I will take the warning for BL1.2 out. Do let me know if anyone have any problem in BL1.2 version.
[G Tablet Android Development] xyrcncp:
So this is the first time I'm updating a HC ROM from one version to another, would it be just like any other ROM, just update on top without wipe or would you recommend wipe cache/data?
[G Tablet Android Development] PlayfulGod:
Ok, nvflashed back to stock, then nvflashed cwm, wipe data/factory rest, flashed 2.1, wipe data/factory reset, and still get no further than the bootanimation which loops til it shuts off.
[G Tablet Android Development] zyhong:
1. make sure you get the right bootloader version.

2. if you have not done the 2048/0 partition of sdcard. this might be the right time for you to do that.

3. flash the rom again and it should work. if not, unzip, and remove /system/etc/inandop.sh (this is the script for data2loop), zip it again. if it still do not work, then i guess you should stay on the rom that work for you before for a while.
[G Tablet Android Development] PlayfulGod:
is that for the internal sdcard or external? I'm guessing internal.

EDIT: NM the partitioning worked!!! Thanks :)
[G Tablet Android Development] aasoror:
Great work.

Is YT HD still a no go ?

TIA zyhong
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
Thanks for this ROM, zhyong.

I switched to this ROM from CM-7.0.3 for another project, and the ROM install was smooth and completely painless. All I did was, take a full system backup using CWM, and then do a wipe data/factory reset before flashing the beta 2.1 zip file.

Users wishing to install this ROM please note that after flashing the ROM, the first boot can take a pretty long time to get to the setup screen. On my gTablet, it was "stuck" at the ANDROID screen for about 5 mins and at the splash screen following that for 2 or 3 mins more. I would recommend new installers wait at least 15 mins before deciding that their install has failed.

Cheers!
[G Tablet Android Development] BenziT:
Thanks for the update ! working great on my 1.1

I had the 2.0 before this.

Choose "wipe cache partition".

Once it's done, go back out to root menu and choose "advanced".

Choose "Wipe Dalvik Cache".

Go back out and choose "install zip from sdcard".

And it works !

Did not have to format back to stock before applying the 2.1 :)

Thanks for a great ROM !
[G Tablet Android Development] sonkey:
All I can say is wow!. I really loved the 2.0 rom, but the 3.0 one is much more efficient and fast. Thanks, for all the hard work..

I must have read this wrong. I get a "video cannot be played" message when trying to play videos. Can someone please point out my oversight?
[G Tablet Android Development] MicroChip:
I dl'd your 3.0 that definitely says bl1.2 in the file name, but when you use cwm to install it says gtabcomb for bl1.1. Is that an oversight in editing your script? When I boot it, it gets stuck at Android right after the Viewsonic birds.

I'm going to NVFlash to 1.1 and try that version while you sort this out.

Thanks!

[G Tablet Android Development] schettj:
Is the pershoot kernel used the current (7/2) one?
[G Tablet Android Development] zyhong:
Thanks for pointing this out. forgot to change that in update-script. it is 3am in the morning and i have build 4 roms within 2 nights, and the only free time i got is after I put 2 kids to sleep. But that rom does mean for BL1.2. The initial boot take quite long (5-6 minites for me) but i boot very quick after that.
[G Tablet Android Development] MicroChip:
You're doing great work. I tried adding pershoot kernel to adamcomb for 1.2 and I got sleep of death so I prefer your bl 1.1 anyway. I've been running it all morning and no sleep of death.

Really great work, keep it up.

Thanks!

[G Tablet Android Development] sotssax:
I'm not trying to be a pain. I love everything about this rom so far. I am just confused about why today's update mentions HQ flash working and the only thing that will play video is YouTube. Does this not apply to other sites. My kids play on my tablet and they cannot watch the Disney and Nick Jr videos that they used to on the CM7 rom. Cannot anyone clear this up for me?

Did I mention that I love this rom. It is sleek and fast. Much better than previous HC Rome I have tried in the past.
[G Tablet Android Development] dbhouston:
Brilliant, so close to perfect

Man, this is a beautiful, fast, and stable ROM. I'm so close to making the switch permanently. Only a couple of things are holding me up:

As with other HC roms, Microsoft Exchange seems to be pretty spotty. When I asked it to sync a full month, it hung up early. Oddly, if I set it to sync just 3 days, it works again. Unfortunately, with my work, that's not enough to meet my needs.

Also, because the external Micro SD card is mounted differently than other roms (it shows up as a USB somehow?), Google Music and Titanium Backup don't find things there. I expect there's a workaround on the music, but I hate the thought of having to replay all hose games of Angry Birds!

Thanks for the incredible work you and the others are doing. I find myself fondling slicker new tablets at the store and always coming back to the belief that y'all will make my gTab the beast it is capable of being.
[G Tablet Android Development] bekarhoo:
Thanks!!

Great ROM. Absolutely gorgeous. Only thing is trying to load cifs, CIFSMANAGER is not working, is the module already loaded in the kernel? Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] schettj:
Try using the Opera browser - flash from the marketplace should work with it (according to the video on the combo rom)
[G Tablet Android Development] pyro6128:
Sweet update. So far I can't find any issues (outside of what is known). I was getting a fc's on the "My Apps" section of the market after a fresh install and restore of my apps with titanium. But I flashed back to my backup of the previous version of this rom, then flashed 3.0 on top of it (without wiping) and now all my apps are there and I don't get any fc's with "My Apps".

Well, this finally got me off of vegantab ginger edition :)

Very smokin hot.

Thanks!

Of course, now I have to reinstall everything... sigh!
[G Tablet Android Development] PlayfulGod:
k my question is after installing the latest update 3.0b, could one restore the data.img only if they were on the previous version(s)?

I've done this with CM7 on the DX and Ascend with great results, not to mention time savings getting everything set back up lol.

Also, I opened up the bootanimation.zip from within winrar and edited the desc.txt so the resolution is 1024 600, looks much better ;)
[G Tablet Android Development] sonkey:
Would you mind posting up the fixed resolution bootanimation.zip or tell me how to fix mine? Any help would be great.
[G Tablet Android Development] ddarvish:
did a full wipe and nvflashed ---> download bl 1.1 rom and tablet gets stuck at green android text screen... any ideas? i let is sit for a full hour to make sure..reinstalled it twice.

Netflix support would be awesome

[G Tablet Android Development] spike378:
Nice updates. A few things I like to mention

Can you map hardware setting button directly to general settings?

Sound setting is force closing on me but Im having no issue with sound atm

Resizable widgets be nice

Youtube widget look so small like its 4x1

Flash doesnt work in stock browser and dolphin but works in youtube app.
[G Tablet Android Development] schettj:
So... mostly all good...

Tweetcaster, and anything else that trys to authenticate with twitter (except the native twitter client, oddly enough) seems to hang/fail.

Sound FCs on me sometimes too.

Netflix doesn't work, says device not authorized.

Overall not half bad though
[G Tablet Android Development] midnightslide:
It took between 5-10 minutes on my G-Tab for the android logo to go away, and for the rom to boot. If it continuously fails like that, just try the following:

- Delete the saved rom from your computer.

- Re-download the rom

- Mount storage from cwm

- delete the old rom from your G-Tab

- copy the fresh rom over

- wipe/factory reset

- clear cache partition

- advanced -> wipe dalvik cache

- install the rom

- reboot

- wait....

That should do the trick.
[G Tablet Android Development] PlayfulGod:
What I did is use winrar, navigated to system/media in the ROM, dbl click on the bootanimation.zip, dbl clicked on the desc.txt (it opens in notepad by default) and edited the first 2 set of numbers to read 1024 600, saved, click yes on prompt from winrar. Can do the same process in just a bootanimation.zip w/o the ROM too.

And heres a link to it edited already.

http://playfuldroidz.com/media/GTab-HC-bootanimation.zip - Just rename it to bootanimation.zip
[G Tablet Android Development] PlayfulGod:
try opera mobile.
[G Tablet Android Development] sonkey:
Thanks Man, it worked. Looks great.

[G Tablet Android Development] aasoror:
Do you still need to reinstall all apps with every upgrade ?
[G Tablet Android Development] pyro6128:
not if you flash over a previous version, which is what I did. Everything seems to work fine. If you encounter issues though, then you'll have to wipe everything and do a fresh install. If you don't already have titanium backup, get it. Its an absolute necessity for anyone who changes roms
[G Tablet Android Development] aasoror:
Thanks buddy.

Do I need a factory reset and to repartition my SD card if coming from CM7 ?
[G Tablet Android Development] ddarvish:
i will do that now and report back on if it worked... thanks. i pretty much did eveything u mentioned except redownload the rom. here goes nothing
[G Tablet Android Development] :
ugh

love it except that flash won't work on default brwsr dolphin or opera mobile :(

update : nvm flash works but the bastards at hulu don't let mobile devices in
[G Tablet Android Development] luvduchovny:
Wow zyhong! I only just installed 3.0 an hour ago. I'm enjoying it and came over here to mention that to discover you've just put out 3.1. Do you never sleep? :-) Guess I'm installing it next. Thanks!
[G Tablet Android Development] zyhong:
hate to make you guys keep flashing rom. however, saw the adam guys put out a new version tonight and they fix the wifi location very well, which is a feature i kept looking to fix it but seems never fixing it all well. i only got enough free time at weekend so i update it and push it out anyway. i promise i won't make you guys flash so frequently in the future:)

enjoy the rom. it is stupid fast.
[G Tablet Android Development] pyro6128:
I don't know about the repartition, but yea you should probably do a factory reset. Is it absolutely necessary? I don't know, but its a general rule of thumb that when staying within the same rom, just flashing over the previous version is fine, but when coming from a different rom, you should wipe data, otherwise you can encounter issues.

But again, if you download titanium backup, you won't have to worry about factory resets because you can just restore all of your apps.
[G Tablet Android Development] zyhong:
you should do the 2048/0 partition if you never do it before.

you should always factory reset if you want to avoid potential problem.
[G Tablet Android Development] sonkey:
Is the 2048/0 partitioning something required for honeycomb roms? all works well for me but was just curious. I don't ever remember doing that since I got my Gtab..
[G Tablet Android Development] :
well it is reccomended that you partition it before flashing a rom, IF you have never done it before
[G Tablet Android Development] :
battery

hows the battery life on this? 6 - 7 hrs?
[G Tablet Android Development] sotssax:
Loved the rom but ended up reverting back to CM7 because I could not get flash to work with stock browser, dolphin HD, or opera mobile. It would not even play mp4 files that I saved on my sdcard. I'll switch back again when I can do this.

I'm not knocking the rom. I know that without source code we ill not have a fully functioning HC rom. I'll just have to wait for ICS. Hopefully nvidia will relax and provide us with proper drivers at that time.
[G Tablet Android Development] ZebTheCalvinist:
I'm on Beta 3.0. I haven't timed it, but the battery life is still not great, in my experience. It seems like it pulls quite a bit of battery when it is left on in standby. I had 75-80% battery yesterday evening, put the tablet in standby (screen off) and this morning it was at 40%. That seems really excessive.

Is there a way to use SetCPU or PimpMyCPU to fix that?

Other than that, so far Beta 3.0 is running great. I'll just have to remember to charge it more often, or turn it off when it won't be used for a while.
[G Tablet Android Development] aasoror:
lol .. funny my problems with CM7 (freezings) only started after re-partitioning 2048/0, I never knew how it was partitioned on stock.

Might be on head though because I used to flash nightlies. Perhaps at one time something was broken never to be fixed in any later release.
[G Tablet Android Development] chstephens5219:
I love this ROM (I think I said that before :))

This ROM works well and I have no problems with Flash in Opera Mobile. I have not tested other browsers....only need one!

If you are having problems with the ROM I suggest the following.

1. Do not reload Titanium Backup unless you are coming from a prior version of this Honeycomb ROM. I had problems until I started from scratch and reinstalled my apps from the market.

2. If you have never repartitioned to 2048/0 using CWM...do it

3. Use Calkulins format all ZIP via CWM before installing

4. Also wipe Dalvik cache using CWM

[G Tablet Android Development] whiplash13:
I have been using this ROM since 1.6. The latest BETA 3.1 is really snappy and this is now my daily driver. Great work on this, thanks to all that have made it happen.
[G Tablet Android Development] PlayfulGod:
for those who have had the camera working, what camera app are you using?
[G Tablet Android Development] schettj:
Oddly enough... can't install streetview for google maps, either.
[G Tablet Android Development] darag2358:
Loving this. Very quick.

Some issues with force close on yahoo mail, gallery, and sound in the settings menu.

Edit: Never mind on the issues. I did a clean reinstall and seems to be working a lot better.
[G Tablet Android Development] kosenn:
How is this rom for videos(xvid, divx, avi, wmv,etc)?
[G Tablet Android Development] thejoos:
Can you host 3.1 on dev-host.org?

Can you host 3.1 on dev-host.org? Your dev-host is fast and reliable.
[G Tablet Android Development] tutech:
I've got that same problem too. Do you have issues installing the Cordy update (it installs but isn't listed in My Apps in the Market), or other large apps - like Air Attack HD Part 1 won't install at all for me ?

I'm on 3.0, I'll update to 3.1 tonight.

By the way, I did a clean install by NVFlashing to stock 1.2 TnT BL, then NVFlash CWM rev 5, then partition SD card, wipe everything incl. Dalvik, and then Flash 3.0 ROM.
[G Tablet Android Development] MDMTahiti:
I get fc every 15 seconds or so android.vending
[G Tablet Android Development] zyhong:
for those that have problem on installing street.apk. try this: use whatever tools you have/you know to remove/rename street.app in /system/app. reinstall this app from the market. this app will be removed from the rom in next build.

for those that have fc problem in market, sound setting etc. the reason should be you do not wipe data when you install the rom. try wipe dalvik cache first and if it still did not work try wipe data/factory reset. this should work on most situation
[G Tablet Android Development] Turbo4V:
I'm having a problem with 3.1 and Google+. I'm guessing that this problem is related to some of the other "authentication" problems that were previously reported. I've installed 3.1 (used caulkulins format all script and wiped dalvik first), everything working fine. Installed Google+ from the market, launch it, it logs in and displays comments. When I go to add a new comment, it FC's. Anyone else have any luck with Google+?

Justin
[G Tablet Android Development] pyro6128:
Just tried out google+ and I'm not getting any issues. I'm using an inverted themed version of the app, but that wouldn't (shouldn't) effect functionality.
[G Tablet Android Development] schettj:
Will give both a try (although I did a full wipe + dalvic wipe before installing it the first time...)
[G Tablet Android Development] brianafischer:
I experienced the process.android.vending error every 1 seconds after using Titanium Backup to restore an application+data. This application had an active desktop widget when I did the restore process.

I fixed this problem by completely uninstalling from Titanium backup. Then manually installing through the Android market. Then restored data only.

The problem backup was from Vegan GingerEdition.
[G Tablet Android Development] nvanlaar:
I'm having problems with Google Books - I can see them but when I try to read one, it takes a really long time to load and then tells me there is was a problem trying to read the book (any book).

Also, I am having problems with G+ app - it keeps insisting I need an invite to use it, yet somehow G+ works fine through the browser...

Other than these two gripes - great work!
[G Tablet Android Development] schettj:
Installed battery monitor widget, and with wifi set to never sleep the tablet stays awake even when locked (yay!) and gets email updates as expected.

Power drain is *slightly* higher than under vegantab ginger edition. On that, I would run around 130-135ma on idle.

This runs 145-150ma. About 10% more drain on idle.

The 3650mAh battery is good for about 24 hours of standby (wifi never sleep) this way. Not bad, but daily charging needed.

Edit: 1.1 BL, pershoot kernel.
[G Tablet Android Development] schettj:
Worked a treat for getting streetview installed!

This is really quite nice all around, thanks for your efforts (and of course to the GtabComb gang too!)
[G Tablet Android Development] a14umbra:
I just installed 3.1 and was going to test tethering. I can't get bluetooth to turn on. I did wipe the dalvik cache with no success.

BL 1.1
[G Tablet Android Development] MDMTahiti:
Did wipe everything and dalvik' downloaded again wiped everything again and dalvik still get fc on android.vending. Swype beta 3 also fcs.
[G Tablet Android Development] snowzach:
Has anyone figured out how to make flash work or am I just an idiot and not figured this out?

Also for those still having issues, a couple versions back when I would wipe and go through the initial setup I told it to restore from my google account which seemed to jibber things up. When wiping this time I add my account and restore nothing and use Titanium Backup instead with better results.
[G Tablet Android Development] zyhong:
I confirm this is broken and will try to fix it in next build.
[G Tablet Android Development] zyhong:
use opera mobile or search xda to download a mod version of flash to install.
[G Tablet Android Development] a14umbra:
On beta 2 both bluetooth and usb tethering worked. I haven't checked with 3 yet. I will tomorrow and post the results.
[G Tablet Android Development] fdeutsch:
This is by far the fastest and more stable HC rom I have tried. The only issue I have is the web browser freezes the whole OS after navigating to a second page, this on both stock and Dolphin.

Besides this, a great rom for being a beta, thanks.

Sent from my GtabComb
[G Tablet Android Development] deathcipris:
I updated my ROM from 1.6.2 to 3.1 today...and....

This is the absolute best of the best when it comes to HC builds. Cross-compatability with the 1.1 BL (Really, who needs 1.2 anyways unless you shipped with it. :D) and 1.2 BL in the new versions. My personal experience is one of instant love. The UI is beyond words and I can never go back to these hacked "Phone" OS's.

Pros:

Great support (This thing updates frequently! A VERY big plus coming from the red-headed stepchild known as Vegan-Ginger edition. BTW totally didn't see the pun with the ginger/ginger comparison.)

Stable (for the most part...see cons)

Pretty fast for a FrankenROM (No offense intended)

The UI and accompanying default apps (Just look at it...)

ITS FREAKING HONEYCOMB ON 1.1BL! (Nuff' said)

Makes the iPad/Nook peeps jealous.

Cons:

I get the odd Force Close every so often, related to Music.apk/3dGalley.apk. Those are really the only two that are random. I have assume it to be processor related, AFAIK. If I have had the tablet on a while without flushing my running processes or I was browsing a big site, I noticed the FC's start happening. I ran a catlog with adb and saw the ROM constantly clearing memory and performing reclamations, so who knows there...

A really weird and repeatable FC in Google+ app, where if I try to update my status, it will FC immediately. Probably app related, but I dunno.

No hardware acceleration. :(

HD YouTube is choppy (BUT it works now so...YAY!)

Flash is iffy, even in Opera (but then again, isn't it always?)

No hardware acceleration...this seriously makes me want to punch whoever at Viewsonic or nVidia is responsible for it lacking the proper ASOP driver support.

That's pretty much it in a nutshell here...great ROM and I highly suggest it!

Thank you, XDA, zyhong, beta/alpha bug testers, and all the other peeps responsible for this ROM!

I did a TB on my contacts in my phone, and a few other things like sms messages etc. When I updated to the 4.5.3 cognition from 4.3.1 it says it restores the app, but when I go to it...it did nothing. No restoration of any data. What gives?

Also im getting used to all this flashing and stuff, but the modem thing is new to me. Since the search feature isnt working I wanted to ask a question. My phone usually has about 3 bars and I used to get excellent internet speeds. NOW all I get max is 552 kbit/sec. Its so slow its irritating. Will flashing the modem help?

So you used TiBu to restore and nothing showed up? Did you try to restart. I've noticed when you restore the green items in Restore system/user apps, (the only things you should restore from that selection, using restore user apps is just fine), you need to restart the phone to have things like txt messages show up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Those things are considered system data and should not be restored from TiBu when switching ROMs. Only app data from apps you installed are considered safe to restore with TiBu.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjkpkg:
When I do a restore between roms I have found that sometimes I need to reinstall TIBU from the market and then run the recovery.

A couple times the TIBU that came with the rom didnt work. Reinstalling TIBU has given me consistent results anyways.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] accordztech:
THat super sucks. Why give the option to back it up, when it wont back up?

If its just apps then I really dont need it. Cause I know the main apps I use.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allockse:
I've had a lot of success using Google contacts in backing up all my numbers/addresses, ect. You just sign into your reflashed phone, sync, done. Importing contacts any other way never really worked consistently for me.
