Anyone had luck with VPN on this ROM? I've been searching here and "the other forum" but didn't find anything.
[G Tablet Android Development] luigic81:
I followed the instructions in the OP, coming from beast rom on bl 1.2 using cwm 3.0.2.8 and now I am stuck in recovery, I select reboot system now, but it just goes black and then reboots into cwm recovery again, even tried restoring nandroid of beast rom, same deal
[G Tablet Android Development] tlbardelljr:
I suspect you may have accidently deleted the reboot to recovery instead of reboot system in cwm.

You would need to nvflash to correct

This is a great HC rom so far but my main issues with it are Facebook and radar now. They both force close constantly. Facebook will run for a minute ur so but radar now won't even open. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing a few times. Alto the Facebook widget brings constant force closes when on my home screen.

Other than those 2 minor problems this rom works great. I can use the weather channel for radar and browser based Facebook is better than the app any way. Thanks for all the hard work dev. Without you guys this tablet would be a hunk of junk. Just can't wait for some HC 3.2 integration. Having an option to resize widgets would be really awesome.

Ethernet on Malata dock?

Has anyone had any luck getting the Ethernet port on the Malata dock working with the G Tablet on Flashback? I'm running 8.0 Alpha, and the lights on the port light up, but I get no network connection.
[G Tablet Android Development] AlexFG:
I installed 8.0 last night coming from CM7 nightlies, Vegan and a few other ROMs and this one so far has been the most stable and it looks great. It's not as fast as CM but at least I don't have to deal with the crappy wifi reception and did i mention that it looks ten times better.

I was hesitating to install this ROM initially because its supposed to be an alpha build but judging by what i have seen so far this ROM is more stable and functional than a lot of the "stable" builds out there; so should be considered at least a Beta.

This ROM's developer has done a great job and I think we should all donate and compensate him for his time and dedication.

any fix for Screebl yet? it installs done but doesn't recognize the accelerometer

How long should it sit on the Honeycomb 3.0 screen after the first boot after install? I ran this at lunch hoping i'd have time to get it up and running and had to leave before it was complete.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
About 8 min. If it hangs more than 20, I think you may have flashed the wrong 4349 ROM. Meaning your system partition is probably too small.
[G Tablet Android Development] skotter:
OK it's def. stuck on the boot screen, i've restarted it several times. I used the link above for the 1.1 version. My partition size is 2048. I had Gtabcom 3.3 on there before and the install was very straight forward.

What are my options now:-)?

I followed these instructions

have any of you guys had any problems using team viewer on this rom? i got it to run the first time i restored my apps but it crashed and it never ran again after that. i uninstalled the app and then tried to reinstall it again but i wont even install from the market.

Market Broken

Flashback A8.0 runs great, but when I try to download a free app in Market, I get an error message saying that the purchase was denied and the download fails. Any ideas?

Also, any thought as to the camera and when it might work?

Thanks for the great ROM!
[G Tablet Android Development] AlexFG:
if your market downloads fail close the market ,open google talk, let it sign you in and then try to download the app from the market again. if that doesnt work either you can try to wipe your dalvik cache and fix your prmissions.
[G Tablet Android Development] mydave1:
Hi there,

Firstly, I would strongly suggest that you adapt 1.2 bootloader version. Most rom's are, and future rom's, on 1.2 bootloader. I would refer you to Roebeet's comment which was posted somewhere that 1.1 bootloader is dead.

Indeed there are many users still have their tablets on 1.1 bootloader, and may not be comfortable with nvflashing. But progress requires changes.

If you are fine with the above, then proceed with Option 3 in the original post to get your tablet on stock 1.2.4349 and (most importantly) you system partition to be at proper size for this rom (250 MB), as well as for any rom that is on 1.2 bl.

After you complete with Option 3. Follow Option 2 to flash the latest FB rom.

Best of lucks to you,

Dave
[G Tablet Android Development] chstephens5219:
Thank you!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I have easily installed the BL 1.1 version with no errors using CWM 0.8

I used Calkulin's format all zip (twice), wiped Dalvik cache (twice), then installed. I had previously set partition to 2048/0 so I did not need to perform this step.

Thanks again for making my transition from GtabComb simple.

Flashback Alpha 8.1 for Bootloader 1.2 is now available for download:

http://www.mediafire.com/?81s6ehkwhrmha0a

It supports storing apps on this sdcard which decreases boot time.

If you get launcher FCs upon reboot fix permissions in clockworkmod.

Also, the version in About Tablet will still say 8.0, that is an oversite and will be corrected this evening.

Have at it!

Is anyone out there to assist me with my install issues with the BL1.1 version of this rom? I'd really love to get this on here and running. It sounds great :-) I've got about 3 posts above this.
[G Tablet Android Development] buymytoasters:
Scott,

I'm on a 1.2 branch, but I ran into a similar problem. I ended up doing a full format in recovery, partition, mount to PC, applied update.zip, and then did the usual wipes (dalvik, user, cache). I also redownloaded the NVFlash and update.zip files. Not sure why it didn't take the first time, but with all the formatting, downloading, and file transfers I'm sure there's room for error.
[G Tablet Android Development] skotter:
Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. I guess I wanted to know if the Rom I downloaded for BL1.1 was the correct one. Like I said i've never had any problems updating roms, and as soon as I flipped back and ran the gtabcomb 3.3 it installed right away. Someone mentioned I might have the wrong rom, so I was wondering if anyone else successfully used the BL1.1 and got it loaded.

What partition sizes should be used for 8.1, I had 7.2 and flashed 8.1 over it and it was working great for a few days. Today was watching Netflix and it froze so I rebooted and it got stuck on viewsonic birds, tried a couple more times and then found I could not even get in to recovery so I nvflashed to 1.2 and then reflashed 8.1 but still no go. Tried repartioning to 2048 but still nothing. Any suggestions?

I just noticed something with this rom. On every other rom i have used with this i have calibrated and really calibrated my touch screen and could never get multi touch to work when my fingers were to close together. I just opened multi touch Visualizer and and my touch points stay no matter how close i put my fingers together even if they are lined up perfectly with one another. Just tested it in browser(since i have had to really yearn pinch to zoom with this tablet)and its working perfectly. This is awesome. That war one of my biggest gripes about this tablet.

[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Those were removed in the early builds (deemed unneeded) as this was meant for a wifi only device. You will need to find 3rd party solutions to meet your needs.

[G Tablet Android Development] Rustang:
I get stuck at the boot screen every time. Tried a fresh partition, multiple wipes, etc. A version of Illuminate I tried a while ago did the same thing. I switched over to BL1.2 and it worked. Flashed a BL1.2 Vegan Tab gingerbread rom and it worked fine. Nothing honeycomb will work. Do I need to do something with NVFLASH?

Ran nvflash back to stock, flashed flashback, it works. No idea why but I'm happy.

Next question: how do I overclock this thing?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Overclocking:

SetCPU - Paid

CPUMaster - Free
[G Tablet Android Development] Rustang:
Perfect! Thanks. Used SetCPU ages ago on my dinc but the newer versions of CM have CPU speed under the settings menu. Was wondering if it was hiding somewhere. Can I run a different kernel to pass 1.4ghz or is this the general stability limit anyway?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I have not tested Calkulin's kernel on this ROM, but I am sure he is at 1.5Ghz. There was an illusive 1.6 and 1.7Ghz kernel floating around, but it was truly a "use at your own risk" kinda thing. Pershoot's latest kernel is super smooth and runs well at 1400Mhz. Some have reported a SOD issue running at 1400, I have not had one, but 1200 had remedied it for some of them. I would not be too concerned with extreme overclocking as the Tegra 2 is a beast at 1000 and at 1400, it is second to none.
[G Tablet Android Development] SoNic67:
Because that Olivetti Olipad has 3G capabilities.
[G Tablet Android Development] tlbardelljr:
Stappern I did disable able RIL in the ROM. The ROM was intended for the gtab and it just did not make sense to use the extra battery when we don't have a radio in our device. The zpad is in a similar situation. I did create a separate boot.img for them for an earlier release but just do not have time to keep it maintained.

I would suggest that either you or another Olipad user create and maintain a thread for your device. The changes to Flashback would be minimal for your device. I would be more than happy to work with anyone to make this happen. The only requirement would be either that they know how to use linux or already know how to package boot.img in windows. Only because I have zero experience in windows.
[G Tablet Android Development] poqeteer:
You aren't the only one... I've had the same experience. Afraid it's broken. :(

Flashback or GTAComb???

Currently I'm using GTAComb 1.1 and i seems to be running ok. Are there any advantages to running Flashback Alpha 8.1 (1.1)??

I like GTAComb, but evidently development is dead in the water. Would it be worthwhile to flash? Are there any updates in Flashback that would be different/better than what I have?

Thanks for any input! I know I can just backup/restore, but just would like to know upfront.
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
While poking around in Flashback 8.x for another project, I noticed a potential problem for users running the 1.1-bootloader version of the ROM:

Both the standard recovery image, /system/etc/recovery/recovery.img, and the CWM recovery image, /system/etc/recovery/clockworkmod.img are the same as Roebeet's images for 1.2 bootloaders. And since those have 1.2 kernels, anytime a user on the 1.1 version of this ROM runs either the fixrecovery.sh or cwmrecovery.sh commands, he will overwrite his working recovery image with a now non-working recovery.

Both the recovery images have to be changed on the 1.1 version on this ROM.

I noticed on the Q&A thread that some people on the 1.1 branch were not able to boot into CWM after flashing the ROM. This could be one of the reasons.

Thanks.

Help with Honeycomb ROM issues

This is not specific to this ROM as I experienced the same things with another Honeycomb (GComb) ROM.

I have installed the ROM following all the instructions carefully doing a format, wipes, etc.

The issues I have regularly (but not always) are:

-On boot, it sits at the flashback screen like it is loading. I have to press the home key to go to the home screen.

-The wifi doesn't connect after sleep. I cannot turn it off and on again. Turning wifi off just grays it, but it is still checked. I have to reboot.

-Gmail refresh and market search sometimes won't work. Just get a spinning circle on a refresh and it sits there forever.

Any ideas on how to diagnose this? It could be an app I suppose. I had no problems with Vegan ROM.

I am using the 1.1 boatloader and 8.0 ROM.
[G Tablet Android Development] SoNic67:
Switch to 1.2 bootloader - the ROM is not working "nice" with the 1.1. And with that occasion install the 8.1 variant.
[G Tablet Android Development] tlbardelljr:
I have to apologize. Adding the 1.1 bootloaded Flashback ended up too much for me to support along with the other ROMS I already work on. I am not the only person involved with Flashback as I am sure you have all seen tek very active here. We decided to pull the 1.1 version temporarily. One of the others is going to create a separate post with just the 1.1 bootloaded version. Please be patient as he gets everything set up. It should be back soon and running as well as the 1.2 version.

Moving forward to Flashback rom on 1.2 bl

Indeed, raywaldo'd advise is sound, as always. 1.2. bl FB has great support here and a lot more at the other site. To load this rom, simply check the OP on page 1, download Option 3 and Option 2. Then follow Option 3 to nvflash and Option 2 to install FB 8.1. Perhaps 10 - 15 minutes and one can enjoy this fine HC rom.

According to the support group on the other site, 1.1 bl version is being pulled for good. The main reason is to prevent further fragmentation and to maintain the focus on 1.2 bl Flashback. In doing this, it streamlines support and prevents a cross of information that could prove to be detrimental, like trying to nvflash a 1.1bl tablet with a 1.2bl ROM. Another important issue to consider is that IF HC 3.2 eventually be ported to gtab, larger system block is required by the use of Option 3 NVFlash.
