Ive been using Flashback for a while and it is amazing. When I didnt think things could get much better I upgraded to version 10.0 and it is amazing. Looks good, very fast, and smooth. Great job. I cant wait till I have time to learn how to do some of the great stuff with Android development. I do have one question though. I noticed in the photos that Thumbkeyboard was used and I never tried it. I finally bought it and followed the setup but every time i click on a field i get the standard honeycomb keyboard. I was wondering if anyone else was using the thumbkeyboard and how you did it?

Keep up the great work.

Edit:

I got it! For anyone else who cares...

select text field and tap and hold

select thumbkeyboard

configure

also select suppress full screen

you should be good to go.

Is anyone able to watch movies on youtube that are purchased on the market? Although some youtube clips play through the browser a rented movie doesn't for me.
[G Tablet Android Development] yashmack:
Mine does this when I let the battery die

Are you turning the tablet off with charge left to the battery or are you letting it die and then plugging in the charger?

There is no extra battery to keep time so if the tablet looses power completely it will lose the date and time

Update on my flashback 10.0

So far my flashback 10 install has being wonderful and fast. But my battery seems to drain quicker this days and i haven't being running any app sapping battery life. Also i tried to Use my usb flash memory on my Gtab today but i wasnt able to do that unlike in gtabcomb that i could do that and copy my files over. It only recognized that external usb storage attached but couldnt open it . Dont know if its not supported on flashback 10.0. Also i continue to have random screen blanks that goes back to application i was viewing in quick secs and there was no special operation i was performing when they happen. Apart from this problems am very satisfied and pray you continue the good works you guys are doing. So far i have got 2 Sod and they both happened today. one early this morning the the other this evening.Will monitor that too and report back
[G Tablet Android Development] mindwave:
Thanks for the reply, I do my best not to let my battery drain completely, although occasinally it does, howeverm I only did the update 2 days ago, so it hasnt had time to drain yet, but when i went into the Dr this am, I had to reset it.

When I power it off I bring it all the way dwn.

SOD more frequent when upgrade from 9.0 to 10.0

I was on 9.0 and saw just 1 SOD, after upgrade to 10.0 I saw it every time it goes to sleep. I've done clear cache and Dalvik cache when update to 10. Even it's faster but SOD is a killer (no punch intent), if it occurs more, I will switch back to 9.0.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I can not emphasize enough that a cache wipe and dalvik wipe are fine going from 9 to 10. However, if you experience problems you will need to to a full Option 3 and then Option 2 to install the ROM. It is not always a quick flash.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but a few extra minutes now, save a lot of headache later.
[G Tablet Android Development] ssnui:
More trouble

Going back to 9.0, now superuser FC everytime. Rebooted and wipe cache and Dalvik cache does not fix the problem. Does anybody has su apk so I can reinstall it? Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] jazzruby:
You NEED to Wipe data/Factory reset, Wipe cache partition and Wipe Dalvik cache.

Boot into ClockworkMod and choose these 3 options.
[G Tablet Android Development] waltzdriod]:
battery drains

Please does anyone has aidea why my battery drains faster on flashback 10.0. i had a live wallpaper with ice on top of water on before but have reverted to normal wallpaper to monitor battery usage. Even when my tablet wakes fro sleep the battery is depleted . i charged battery to full yesterday and woke up this morning to see that my battery has gone down to 65 %. i have alarm clock activated too could that be a factor or no good battery management on this? please i need advice on how to utilize battery maximally like before . thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
The newer kernel is allowing your tablet to stay awake longer before deep sleep. I have noticed this myself. It is a good thing, as once deep sleep is entered notifications stop working and I like to know when I get email and such. If you are that concerned, leave it plugged in over night. That is what I do and I have never had any issues.

If you want to just try something - charge till green and reboot into clockwork and select advanced, reset battery stats. Then reboot (REBOOT SYSTEM, NOT RECOVERY). See if things look better and remember, always flash your ROM on a green light.

What does your battery usage say for where the juice is going?

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

Uninstall it and reinstall it from the market.
[G Tablet Android Development] ssnui:
Hehehe, that's the problem as well, Market does not work it just keep spinning. I found a work around: re-apply 10.0 (wipe cache and Dalvik cache); go to Settings and set the Screen timeout to "Never", also change the Password lock in Location and Security to "Immediate". When I needed I turn it off manually, so when I pressed the power button it wakes up. So far that method works for me.

battery issue

my battery usage says launcher 34 17978245ms,Aldiko 15 7468846ms, browser 12 2325572ms, evernote 17 878596ms, Hy reader 4 764200ms, clock 2 615745ms, System UI 3 189885ms, settings 13 124733ms, Gmail 1 96867ms.. its seems the launcher is what drains battery juice most and i don't know what application has that launcher. thanks for ideas and am charging the battery now on full charge will reset battery sats through cwm
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Hmmm.... do you have live wallpaper enabled?
[G Tablet Android Development] waltzdriod]:
I was using a live wallpaper before but had switched back to normal wallpaper eversince yesterday. i charged to full around 8am and as of 4.55pm battery was at 82 % and didnt use much of tablet. I will do battery reset as you said i should do
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I have not tested my battery usage since upgrading to 10. I will when I get home and measure the drop off.
[G Tablet Android Development] waltzdriod]:
After i do battery stats reset will give you details on any battery improvement if it helps . Also i want to ask if you have being able to use external usb storage on Fb 10 because i use to be able to read my usb flash storage but tried using it again through the usb port on my tablet it only recognised an exernal usb storage but i couldnt open into the file root. And the file manager doesnt have any folder for external usb storage .
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I will test that also when I get in. I use dropbox, one more cord and I may hang myself.
[G Tablet Android Development] mydave1:
Wanna watch a short video on Flashback 10.0 ? :)

The tablet was upgraded from 9.0 to 10.0 using Option 2 in the OP, and no overclocking. Just standard CPU settings.

Feedback is welcome !

rebooting issue...

ever since I upgraded to 10 from 9 I've been having issues with locking up and rebooting... anybody else having that issue?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Dave,

We don't need an imitation drive, we need a real one to test...

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. :D

---------- Post added at 03:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------

How did you upgrade? Did you nvflash first?
[G Tablet Android Development] tsukaza:
You might consider a Code Detox wipe and then install. That's what I did after the regular method causes issue.

No issues here yet! I love the work, thanks guys!

I got home and woke my tablet up. It connected to wifi and after a minute or two, I got updates and notifications, I then unplugged it and put it to sleep (wifi policy set to never disconnect - even though it always does). Five hours later I woke it up and gave it a couple of minutes to readjust, battery was at 100%.

Home button and increased FCs but fewer locks

Went from 8 to 10 and Home button stopped working and increased FCs. Used option 2. Going back and using option 3. Will update post with results.

Went from 8 to 10 and Home button stopped working, increased FCs and random loss of audio. Used option 2. Going back and using option 3. Will update post with results.

Update:

Ended up just wiping factory data and cache and fixed permissions. Home button started working again but stopped after 30 minutes or so. Market stopped working which was working fine before. Since I have to wipe it anyway and haven't tried many ROM's, I'm gonna experiment with firmware and other ROMs. Flashback has been really solid on the pershoot firmware except for OC. Consistently locked when OC'd but hit 2780 in Quadrant at 1.4 OC before it locked. After experimenting with some others, I may return to Flashback.
[G Tablet Android Development] waltzdriod]:
What is your battery usuage stats looking like. because if after 5 hrs from sleep you still have a full 100 % it means i must have an application snappin the juice out of my battery. I will try charging it up later today and monitor how the battery life goes. But funny enough i put my wifi policy to disconnect when screen blanks but battery still drains
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I would imagine you do. I woke my tablet around 6PM yesterday and played with it for 15 minutes. Then I left it off of the charger until just now (12:20PM) and it is down to 77%.

You should download a task manager and see if there is a rogue app popping up preventing your tablet from sleep and or chewing up battery.
[G Tablet Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Guys, I am on 8.1 Alpha. I want to get to 10. I have some questions.

1) Do I need to do a factory reset? I really would hate to go through the whole process of restoring app data.

2) Someone mentioned Sleep of Death issue with 9. Is it there with 10?

3) I looked at the changelog and I see a bunch of core app changes. It appears that 10 carries pershoot's kernel. Is there any performance enhancement with this?

Trouble with google Music?

Has anyone been able to get google music to work fully? FB 9/10 have version 3.0.1.. It does not play my wma files? version 4.0.1 seems to play them but fcs all the time.. only plays by searching title. Any solutions? tried uninstall and reinstall of all files. Also Pandora doesn't load beyond the splash screen.. Anyone with this issue/fix?

Thanks.. Nuclearburn
[G Tablet Android Development] NeoMatrixJR:
FB10+HCTrial5 = SOD for me EVERY time I leave it for long periods.
[G Tablet Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
I went with Option 2 and it went smooth. The only minor hitch was that it didn't let me enter my gmail id and password. It kept saying Unable to connect to Google servers. A reboot fixed it. Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] luvduchovny:
Yeah I notice it doesn't play wma files either. I ended up converting those songs to mp3 and it works great now.
[G Tablet Android Development] kieso:
I was wondering what is HCtrial5? Do I just drop the zip at the root and use CW?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Yes. However, if you are not currently experiencing SODs on 10, it is advised not to flash the Trial kernels.
[G Tablet Android Development] Nuclearburn:
That figures.. I have like 20Gb of wma files.. Guess I'll start converting.. Atleast not all my files need it..
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I believe it plays non-protected wma files?

Does anyone have a different link for dl then crappy a$$ mediafire. I hate them soooo much!! Please!!
[G Tablet Android Development] dllundin:
feel jealous looking @ this thread ;-( no HC roms ever worked on my GTab. it flashes and starts just fine but freezes almost instantly. the only stable ROM i ever had was the stock (up to 5274).

I did a clean install (option 2), booted just fine, sync with my gmail, opened the market.... and F%$ IT - everything is frozen. wonder if anybody else experience similar behaviour and if there is a fix for it.

things i tried b4:

- almost every rom out there

- formatted sd card with almost any option avail

thnx in advance!
[G Tablet Android Development] Pawnty:
Sorry but... What exactly is this kernel? I've been searching around XDA, Slatedroid and google and can't find any information about it at all....

Edit: nevermind. figured it out :P
[G Tablet Android Development] chaien78:
Is it true that you can charge your Gtab up to 100%? Wipe battery status can be a solution?

-------------I CAN NOT read my external SD card via usb cable connected with PC. Any suggest ?
[G Tablet Android Development] mydave1:
I'd suggest to download Option 3 from the OP, and use it to nvflash the tablet to stock & proper CWM. Then follow Option 2 again to flash Flashback 10.0.

Good luck and let us know how it works for you.

Dave,
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Yes, it is true. Perhaps it is because I have always flashed my ROMs on a green light battery that was plugged in. I know others have had problems with this and resetting battery stats seems to work for some. Try resetting when you get the green light and if that does not work, run it till empty and try resetting as close to zero as you can.

Well done. I think this is the best rom I've tried.

Thanks from me too -- Flashback 10.0 is the only Honeycomb ROM I've tried on my GTab that doesn't have the Sleep of Death issue!
[G Tablet Android Development] NeoMatrixJR:
reaching the end of my rope

FB 8.1, FB9, FB10 + Pershoot, HCt5 & HCt4 all have SOD EVERY time I leave the tablet off for extended periods. Do I NEED to set OC/CPU settings?

Dear goodness, if I can't get the dumb thing reliable I think my Christmas money is going towards a new tablet.

I love modding and setting this stuff up, but I'm at the point where I just want the dumb thing to work and not take 5 minutes every time I turn it on. That's the other problem with SOD's all the time...I don't know about everyone else but my boot times on FB are HORRIBLE.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Deep breath...

The Flashback Team has worked hard to exterminate SOD issues among all G-Tabs. mydave1 has led the crusades with much success. Please follow this link to learn more about SODs and possibly find a cure for your own.

http://tinyurl.com/6bh6fuz

Let us know what you come up with.

edit: I forgot the second part of your issue. Move all of your apps to the sdcard and boot time will increase drastically. I am about 1:15 from off to home screen.
[G Tablet Android Development] sfleury:
I feel lucky...

I bought my g-tablet second hand in early September, and within a few hours of bringing it home I had up-revved it from 1.1 to 1.2 and had Flashback on it.

Long story short I love this thing, and this ROM. I haven't had a single SOD since installing 10.0. I did experience the very occasional SOD with 8.x (and more so with 9.0) but they weren't really fequent enough to bother me that much.

I'm also going to mention that after the first night back on Sept. 5th I have installed every Flashback update that has been released and I only ever wipe Cache, and Dalvik Cache, I have never even considered wiping my user data, or apps.

So thanks to those of you out there who spend so much time and effort on this, from where I sit you've done an excellent job.
[G Tablet Android Development] chaien78:

[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
You are not able to with FB 10. There are file manager work-arounds to allow you to have access, even over wifi or bluetooth.

I had bootle of smoke prior to this ROM. I was able to flash this without any problems. Thanks OP, ROM is smooth.
[G Tablet Android Development] jph8tr:
The only major issue I'm having is with Opera. Opera's menus close after about 2 sec. Changing settings or choosing a bookmark is all but impossible. I've tried wiping everything and doing a fresh market install of Opera, but the issue remains. Anyone else? What am I missing here?
[G Tablet Android Development] tsukaza:
Use Opera 11.1 instead of 11.5. The latest version have issues.
[G Tablet Android Development] detachablehalo:
I had that issue and posted about it in the Q&A section. It was suggested to me that I uninstall the Market version of Opera and install Opera from the /data folder on my SD card. That resolved my issue entirely.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
This is a problem with Opera. The Opera.apk located in system/data is an older version that works fine. Hopefully, Opera will release an update soon, but until then use the one from system/data and do not allow it to update.
[G Tablet Android Development] Thexfactor2011:
I still love the rom. Probably the only reason I still use this tablet. I did notice that there are quite a few times when I unlock from a fresh reboot or power off state that the launcher force closes and then comes right back. Not a big issue but I was wondering if anyone else had this and what they might have done to solve it?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Force close or redraw? FCs give a dialogue box, redraws show you the wallpaper, but all icons and widgets are missing and then come back.
[G Tablet Android Development] detachablehalo:
Mine did this when I powered it on this morning, but it was the first time, so I didn't think much about it. (I've been on FB 10 for about a week.) It was an actual Force Close message. Click OK, everything then comes right back.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
What was the upgrade path you took to get to 10? If it persists, try fixing permissions in clockwork.
[G Tablet Android Development] detachablehalo:
I can't speak for the other person having the problem, but I did option 3 and then option 2. Like I said, this is the first time it's happened to me, so I just wrote it off as a random event. I just wanted to provide anecdotal support for the other poster.

Just remembered the actual sequence of events; maybe it'll help in troubleshooting for someone. My battery died overnight, but I didn't realize that, so it died again immediately after booting this morning. I plugged it in and booted, no problem. I plugged in an external USB keyboard and mouse (mouse plugs into keyboard). The keyboard worked, but the mouse wasn't recognized, so I rebooted my tablet. When it came back up, I unlocked it and got the Force Close. Click OK on the message, Launcher reloaded, and I've had no further issues with it.

I'll try rebooting again here in a bit and see if it happens again. Maybe it's related to the keyboard and/or mouse. I'll let you know how the testing goes when I get some free time at work.

****UPDATE****

I just rebooted my tablet, no force close. Keyboard and mouse were connected, both still respond. I am not able to duplicate the automatic FC of launcher on boot.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Interesting that you mention unlocking before the FC. I personally disabled my lock screen as I am not worried about pocket dialing with it. However, I had that in the past with multiple ROMs and it is as if the launcher has not fully loaded by the time the lock screen appears, so when you unlock the launcher will FC as it is not yet open and stable. Just presumption on my part, but I have seen it. Thank you for the extra information and thanks for downloading the ROM.
[G Tablet Android Development] Thexfactor2011:
It was a force close. A nice little dialog box that I had to hit force close. I used option 2 when upgrading to 10.0. As I was reading some of these other posts I brought to mind that it does only happen after a fresh reboot or power up. After that initial FC everything is good until the battery dies all the way. Also This rom gets great battery for intermediate use. Ill try to fix permissions also just to see if it helps.
[G Tablet Android Development] supperman2k:
flash on 10.0a

I tried the instructions on the first post but it seems opera doesnt even detect the flash plugin
[G Tablet Android Development] detachablehalo:
When I did it, I had done an Option 2 install for FB 10, so Flash wasn't installed at all. I opened the stock Browser and it prompted me to install Flash from the market, which I did. Opera worked like a champ after that. Don't know if that will help you or not...
[G Tablet Android Development] supperman2k:
Did you use the opera that came with fb 10

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

I used the opera and normal flash 10.3 that came with fb10 that was in the /system/data dir and it worked

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

I came from the eee pad / transformer in its infancy om wise youtube hd looked very similar laggy / stuttering.

Could the gtablet issue be realted?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
The flash player in system/data is aimed for the stock browser. It is a hacked version of flash that will fail if you update it from the market. The flash player from the market works with Opera and Dolphin. However, Opera's last update basically broke it. So, use the Opera.apk in system/data and don't let it update until Opera sorts their internal issues out.
[G Tablet Android Development] Rommul:
I seem to be having a problem with wifi not working on Flashback.

The problem first occurred when I tried to install the Clemsyn overclocking kernel on Flashback. As soon as I rebooted wifi wouldn't work whatever I did.

I came home from work today and installed a Froyo rom to test if something was wrong on the hardware end but the wifi worked fine, no issues.

Now I reinstall Flashback and the issue is back NO WIFI.

What am I doing wrong?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
It is a known issue for some users (myself included), that is why it is a trial kernel.

Clear cache and dalvik and reflash the ROM over itself.
