It is, but with Zebwen's modified version, not all flash videos work; most other flash content works, though (flash websites, flash in apps, etc.). If you want flash videos, you can download the normal flash 10.3 from the market and use the opera mobile browser; the only problem with this is that flash won't work outside of the opera browser. If you want flash video and flash in apps, you can alternate installing the two different versions, but that seems like kind of a hassle to me. I just stick with Zebwen's modified version, since I don't care about flash videos all that much and I prefer the stock browser.

Pretty much. Certain apps don't work, don't work well, or aren't completely functional, but that could just have to do with incompatibilities with Honeycomb in general. Most apps work just fine.

It is currently 3.0.1, but the dev is working on a build of 3.1. I think he said he's about 50 or 60% done porting it over.
[G Tablet Android Development] tlbardelljr:
I have not yet got to testing the bluetooth much. I know some keyboards do and some don't. I do hope to do more testing on Bluetooth soon!
[G Tablet Android Development] tlbardelljr:
Not a lot of progress this week on 3.1 been working on the current ROM. Hopefully this weekend I can spend quite a bit more time.
[G Tablet Android Development] usarmyaircav:
after installing this rom,moving the app to the sd, and clearing the data, right now plants vs zombies is working!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] usarmyaircav:
Spoke too soon, it works some, does a level or 1 1/2 and then hangs. :(

I will keep watching for an update... until then i will have to go back to ginger. I use the gtab a ton for taking notes in meetings.
[G Tablet Android Development] raphenucleus:
A couple of things for the dev; they're pretty minor, but the more information, the better, right? I haven't seen them mentioned before, so I thought I'd do so.

In the facebook app, the News Feed doesn't load correctly (people's names and pictures are there along with the updates, but they don't seem to be in the right place and there are two blank white boxes randomly in the middle) and it FCs when I click on Friends or Places. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing cache, clearing data, and fixing permissions and none of this did anything, so I think it might be an issue with the ROM. Also, I've noticed this for the past several versions of the ROM.

The music app that comes with the ROM is version 3.0, so I updated to version 3.0.1 from the Market. The updated version pretty much works fine, but it randomly closes relatively frequently and occasionally causes my live wallpaper (Gravitron) to FC, freeze, or otherwise stop working. I downgraded back to version 3.0 and the issues don't seem to happen anymore, so I'm guessing you already noticed similar issues and that's why you included 3.0 instead of 3.0.1.
[G Tablet Android Development] spamhead:
I had the same problem, but it was resolved when I uninstalled and reinstalled from Market. Sorry that didn't work for you.

Take a look at the FriendMe app (made by the same folks who make TweetComb and Newsr). Very spiffy tablet-optimized FB app.
[G Tablet Android Development] the_jako:
I wrote this on the kernel thread before... but, anyone try the Joystick support on this ROM? I tried with a lot of gamepads and I cant make work the direction pad, everything else works.

Any idea?

Thanks!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] transitoyspace:
installed last night. great. didnt do much test, hc launcher is smoother. gallery fcs twice i think, but thats all. also theres a random line(widget or app on the homescreen) dont know where thats from. but easily removed

-plus

flash works..amazing. one of the reasons i stopped usign hc roms because the lack of flash in browser..so thannks

external sd card storage works, yay

-cons

ugly default wallpaper, but i can easily change to whatever i want.

sd card icons, but its fine i can deal.

hc launcher still has some sluggishness to it

-questions

i know there is no hw acceleration, but does that mean that the tablet no longer supports .mov files? i remember testing it in another hc rom, it would open up, but jsut play sluggish, so does that mean drivers/codecs are missing for video, or is that part of the hw acceleration.

some said plants vs zombies worked for them, was it phone or hd version?

i installed hd version fine, starts to load fine, but when the grass loading icon gets to first bar, game crashes.
[G Tablet Android Development] sixvoltsystem:
anyone get the xpad.ko running in this?
[G Tablet Android Development] raphenucleus:
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling again, just to see if anything would change, but it didn't. The news feed loads fine the first time you log in, but every subsequent time it's messed up. And still the FCs when you click on Friends or Places. I'll check out FriendMe, though. Thanks for the recommendation!
[G Tablet Android Development] hyperxguy:
I have tried a few HC Roms and this is the most stable. Look&fell mostly like my Asus Transformer (HC3.1). A couple of major issues:

* My trusted 720p videos could only play in Moboplayer but with bad FPS.

* Many apps will disppear (settings--> applications--> icon grayed out. Click on Apps icons will produce application not installed) after a reboot. Apps such as Angry Birds, Samurai 2, Cordy, AirAttackHD....

It's great otherwise. Just as useful as my Asus. Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] raphenucleus:
That happens to me too, but only with Riptide GP. Angry Birds doesn't do it for me, though, and I don't have any of those other games. I don't mind that much since it's only one game that I don't even play that often, but it is a little annoying. I noticed this issue was fixed on version a5.3 (for Riptide GP, at least), but that build had other issues, so I think the dev reverted some of the changes he made in a5.3 to fix those issues, which is probably why it's still happening.
[G Tablet Android Development] jph8tr:
One thing I've learned. Don't install Aldiko ebook reader on this rom. It won't be there after reboot, but the system will be slow and suffer random reboots.
[G Tablet Android Development] lambertma:
Great Job on the ROM. Glad to see HoneyComb

Rom runs good and great job. One problem though, the wifi works for a few minutes then flashback honeycomb splash screens comes up. After about a minute I can unlock it but the wireless shows error.

Just flashed this about an hour ago. Running 2.1 bootloader.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

[G Tablet Android Development] spamhead:
Facebook has reverted to this behavior again for me too. Very frustrating. Currently depending on FriendMe and Seesmic for my FB jones.

This has got to be a widespread issue, right?

Tried changing pixel density - that didn't change anything.
[G Tablet Android Development] pierre3408:
Is there a step by step procedure to get Flash to function in "Opera" Browser??

I got it to work in 5.3, but no luck in 5.4

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
[G Tablet Android Development] IllusiveDreams:
Ive noticed on this ROM that the FB app has always force closed when I tried to open it. I gave up on it for now. Using Friend Me and seems to work but the notifications does give me an option to say, "go to the comment" or "photo". Oh well. Ive also noticed that APPs randomly uninstall themselves after I power down (leave over night or something and than power up the next day..

I also havent tried any of the other HC roms but this is the one I was drawn to when I first started researching ROMs for the G Tablet. Thanks Dev.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjsooley:
does netflix and hulu+ work on this rom?
[G Tablet Android Development] tlbardelljr:
I have not seen this. Did you wipe data/dalvik after the install?
[G Tablet Android Development] tlbardelljr:
Install flash from the market

Install Opera mobile from the market (make sure it is mobile version)

reboot and all should be good
[G Tablet Android Development] tlbardelljr:
Not yet. I am sure in time it will.
[G Tablet Android Development] Leachpunk:
I'm sorry if I missed something, but I have searched this thread and no one else seems to have this issue. I am running the latest 5.4 version off of a fresh install, and I cannot authenticate on Google Talk, and fail downloading apps. Everything else seemingly works great. Anyone have any insight?
[G Tablet Android Development] tlbardelljr:
A few have run into this.

Go into settings-sync delete your google account reboot then add your account back and should be good to go.
[G Tablet Android Development] Leachpunk:
Thank you for your quick response. I tried your recommendation and it did not work. I tried wiping data and factory reset and dalvik cache, that did not work. I nvflashed back to stock rom, then flashed it again and that did not work.

Do I maybe need to do something with my google account?

The only peculiar thing I noticed is that when I go through setup, enter my main account, it sends me back to login. I enter it again and it tells me it already exists. So then I enter another google account I have, and then it asked me what I wanted to sync. I didn't go any further than that.
[G Tablet Android Development] tlbardelljr:
The second time it asks for your login hit cancel and then the "hard" back button until you end up at the main screen.I hope this works.
[G Tablet Android Development] Leachpunk:
Very weird, I'm not sure why, but it worked. Thanks again, and it looks great, keep it up!
[G Tablet Android Development] :
I got this installed successfully tonight, but I can't get any market apps to install. Google Maps needs updated and it fails, as well as Tapatalk and Beautiful Widgets.

I get "Download was unsuccessful. Please try again".

Edit: derp, shoulda read the past few posts.
[G Tablet Android Development] usarmyaircav:
After a reboot, it said that fieldrunner was not installed. I re-downloaded it and it worked fine, but that is a pain.

just an FYI

Hey TBJ, I sent you a pm.
[G Tablet Android Development] ErockGineer:
Hey guys, new to the Flashback ROM as of two days ago and all I can say is WOW!! I mean, heck it wasn't but two months ago we were dreaming of a stable Honeycomb ROM for the Gtab and here it is.....AMAZING job to all the devs and whomever worked on this. Donations forth coming on payday.

But I do have a few questions regarding this. Hopefully my fellow flashbackers can assist. For me, the biggest thing is storage accessibility. I can live with minor flash issues and I'll watch Netflix on my TV, those are just minor inconveniences to me. But I'm someone who relies heavily on my tablet as my Lab computer and it contains thousands of published papers that I readily access, not to mention having the ability to store onto and pull from quickly.

Now I have my internal 16GB storage partitioned to 13-14GB and 2GB (believe thats from VeganFroyo back in the day) and I have an 8GB MicroSD card as well. Now I notice the two SD card symbols in my tray, the one labeled "SD" comes on and off when I put in and take out my 8GB MicroSD card....and the other is labeled "MicroSD" which seems to be my internal 13-14GB partition. If you ask me it seems backwards, but whatever its just a name.

Now it seems you can't access either of those storages from those icons, they are just there to "Eject" them, the folder icon inside the main SD card icon doesn't do anything. And when I go into settings, and then Storage, I see it listed strangely. It says:

"USB Storage" Total = 13GB Available = 11.6GB

"Internal Storage" Total = 1.88GB, Media = 1.48GB, Applications = -1289412608B, Available = 1.6GB

"MicroSD" Total = 13GB Available = 11.6GB

"SD" Total = 7.41GB Available = 7.41GB

I'm trying to figure out what partitions on what category store my information. I'm guessing the "internal storage" is where the main parts of the OS are, and the 13GB "MicroSD" partition is essentially my internal hardrive, and my "SD" is essentially my external microsd card I have inserted.

However, Nowhere can I quickly access the information on the SD card.....or I haven't figured out how to do so.

Can anyone shine some light on this subject for me.....it would greatly improve my productivity with my tablet and would be greatly appreciated.
[G Tablet Android Development] jazzruby:
If your asking how to access the FILES on your SDCard (Internal/External) you need to use a file manager.

The ROM comes with one or you could use an alternate:

ES File Explorer will default (browse) to Internal SDCard which is located at the root of the ROM, i.e. /sdcard and also /mnt/sdcard

Your External SDCard will be at /external_sdcard and also /mnt/external_sdcard

Another alternate File Manager:

Root Explorer will default (browse) to the root of the ROM, i.e. /
[G Tablet Android Development] jph8tr:
vAnyone know how to deactivate the capacitive buttons? With HC, they're entirely unnecessarily and cause more problems than they're worth. I tried button remapper (older version), but just installing it causes the screen off function of the power button to fail.
[G Tablet Android Development] :
This isn't relevant to what you said, but Dropbox would be handy for a case like yours.

http://www.dropbox.com
[G Tablet Android Development] kicker22004:
yes as of now i really wish that the capacitive buttons would just be turned off...personally since CM7 got them i've hatted them. i would do a hardware mod but CWM requires them...anyone?
[G Tablet Android Development] galapogos01:
Just switched to 1.2bl to try this rom out and have a few questions...

Is the keyboard autocorrect supposed to work? Doesnt work for me.

Can you switch back to Gingerbread keyboard?

Any fix to get spare parts battery history to work? Just FCs.

Any reason for terrible screen off battery life? I lost 40% in 8 hours... cant check wakelocks as spare parts crashes.

Do all HC roms run this high dpi?

Any fix to get root explorer working? Just FCs on startup...

Otherwise loving the rom. HC is such a huge improvement, it really kicks ass!!
[G Tablet Android Development] usarmyaircav:
getting frustrated that after playing fieldrunners for a while when I exit it seems to hang, I can open settings but nothing comes up, last apps also but can't change to anything. Have to power off to get the tab back, then fieldrunners is uninstalled. Typically I wouldn't care but that game takes a while to load.
[G Tablet Android Development] sniffs:
i have the same prob..some apps dont open, and when rebooted they are uninstalled. :(
[G Tablet Android Development] hachiroku:
nicker22004, my capacitive buttons don't light up at all using this rom. ambient light sensor auto screen dim doesn't seem to work either.

tlbardelljr , thanks for this rom its pretty sweet. I had one question, is there anyway that we could fine tune the touch responsiveness? maybe we're simply limited, but when i'm typing, it only will read my fingers if i type slowly, not when i type fast. if i type fast, i have to type very hard for finger touches to register. not sure if anybody else has any concerns with this. maybe there is a market app to generically fine tune this?
[G Tablet Android Development] usarmyaircav:
Just installed alpha 5.5. I really like the new boot screens, nicely done!!!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] Warboy:
i just installed 5.5 and it runs solid but the wifi is slow as hell
[G Tablet Android Development] raphenucleus:
The capacitive buttons aren't backlit (on the gtab at least, maybe they are on other malata zpads), so they shouldn't light up regardless of whatever ROM you're on.

You can use the app from this post to calibrate your touch screen, which might improve things a bit, but the unresponsiveness is inherent to the hardware; the touch screen just isn't that sensitive, especially compared to some more expensive tablets.

Just loaded 5.5 as well and the wifis are running a bit slowly for me too. But the wireless connection at my work is notoriously bad, so hopefully it'll be faster when I get home.
[G Tablet Android Development] hyperxguy:
Did you mean it's slower than v5.4 ?

(I had v5.4 side-by-side with my Asus Transformer, and the GTab's wifi is just slower getting data).
[G Tablet Android Development] alex6499:
I've been having bad battery life. Just leaving it screen on I loose alot of my battery (like 1% every 5 mins). I've got bluetooth and gps off and only wifi on. Anyone else having this?
[G Tablet Android Development] Icedvoco:
Installed this a couple of days ago, just beforte the 5.5 release, using it as my daily driver now, its a great rom.

I was not aware that HC didnt have gps support yet till after i tried it on this rom. Noticed the Adam guys have added it to the latest set of releases, any chance we can get gps support please ?
[G Tablet Android Development] raphenucleus:
See this post. Removing the mms, telephonyprovider, and phone apps (voicedialer isn't present in this ROM) improved my battery life and I haven't noticed any ill effects from removing them (I've been using this ROM since 4.2 and have removed those apps every time I updated).
[G Tablet Android Development] tlbardelljr:
And I stated I would remove in 5.5 and forgot.....bad dev

Install Qurstion

Hi all,

sorry for the noob question. I have my gtab reset back to stock with BL 1.2 to prep it for this HC rom, from Vegan Ginger, following the instruction from the link below:

http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/171...-using-either-11-or-12-based-images-g-tablet/

When I reboot into recovery, I have the Android system recovery <3e>, which I believe it's the equivalent to the ClockWorkmod. I'm trying to install ClockWorkmod and currently hang under installing update...

When I chose reboot - it just hang on the picture of screwdriver and wrench. I tried to go back to reboot into recovery and now it just hang on Booting Recovery Kernel image...:mad:

My issue is that I can't reboot into recovery now. Although the stock rom can still boot up fine.

Can anyone please point me to the right direction?

Thank you very much.

UPDATE: So, I re-nvflash my gtab and I can get back to recovery. After further reading the link below, it looks like I shouldn't be using clockworkmod to install this.:o

http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/17049-guide-to-installing-clockworkmod-cwm-on-the-g-tablet-g

Can someone verify how long does it take to perform the install? I would assume you just pick install from update.zip from sdcard option under Android system recovery <3e>. Ofcourse having the update.zip from OP in the root of my sd card.

Thanks!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] Warboy:
Compare to other roms in general. (Like cyanogen and other honeycomb roms.)
[G Tablet Android Development] usarmyaircav:
Yes just pick the update.zip I don't remember, but I don't think it was more than 10 minutes
[G Tablet Android Development] gtabman:
Thank you for the confirmation. I think I must've missed a step. Mine is taking more than 20 minutes and it's still stuck on the wrench and screwdriver pic...

Any other suggestion? Should I go back to 1.1, repartition again, and upgrade the bl to 1.2? I don't think it should be this complicated, but I'm confuse now how to proceed.

Thank you again.

Talking about noob...I treat the android system recovery button like I'm using clockworkmod. It is embarrassing but I have to confess :) I got my HC now!!! Very nice and thank you for bringing this to the gtab.
[G Tablet Android Development] usarmyaircav:
naw dude, we can all get like that. I was wracking my brain thinking about it, was just hitting the thought, it should just load. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] usarmyaircav:

[G Tablet Android Development] nunjabusiness:
I just installed the latest Chrome browser on my PC and they have a "Chrome Store" with browser-based versions of Angry Birds and PvZ.:D

Why the hell is there not a version of Chrome for Android? Or is there?
[G Tablet Android Development] raphenucleus:
The stock browser is the version of Chrome for Android. It's just not the full desktop version of Chrome; however, the HC version is a lot closer to the desktop version than the Gingerbread or Froyo ones. The Chrome Store was built to work on computers running desktop OS's (windows, mac, etc.), which is why it probably won't work on Android. I'm pretty sure the Chrome Store was made as a desktop complement to the Android Market, not a replacement for it.
[G Tablet Android Development] Calvinx1:
Very good ROM!, I just have an issue about the battery performance, with other ROMs I get about 11 or 12 hours, and with it I just get 9 or 10, about 2 hour less. not a big deal but I use my tab a lot some days.

Could be something with the governor?, or is just me with this issue?
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
You could actually remove Phone.apk, mms.apk and Telephoneyprovider. apk from system/app folder once you mount system folder read/write.

That has improved my battery life much better. You will get FCS once you remove Phone.apk, but just reload it, and then remove mms and other apk.
[G Tablet Android Development] hitekredneck:
Be sure to keep in mind that removing these APK's will cause breakage of using a bt headset with this ROM. Bluetooth calls on these for communications between the tablet and headset. Phone and Telephonyprovider APK's should be kept, but I'm not sure about the MMS, I just left it in there to be safe. I finally have a stable ROM with bluetooth headset functionality and do not want to screw it up.
[G Tablet Android Development] sixvoltsystem:
5.5 running excellent. Thank you sir.
[G Tablet Android Development] smakcc:
Since I have updated to 5.5 I am unable to install any app from the market. Also my gtalk keeps FCing alot. Can any tell me what's wrong?
[G Tablet Android Development] sixvoltsystem:
did you wipe dalvik cache or do a format? I haven't had any issues when following the directions to the T.
[G Tablet Android Development] usarmyaircav:
I haven't had any much for issues either, I know it was mentioned earlier in the thread about Gtalk not working.
[G Tablet Android Development] ibeQuint:
I've been searching for quite a bit of time and haven't come up with any sort of definitive results.

Is there anyway to use a playstation 3 controller with this rom? Or at all on the gtab?

Thanks!
