netflix and youtube not working

I have been using repacks in BL1.1 and 1.2. In the previous versions youtube and netflix worked well. In the latest version youtube doesn't run the video: tells me to touchscreen to reload. Netflix loads a movie and only plays sound, but no video, just a blank screen.

I did install over the previous repack.

Update for Youtube and Netflick

I am using these apps (Use the links to download Youtube and Netflick .apk) without any problem!!

By the way; I upgraded my g-tab to the "Kernel 2.6.32.46 – OC-UV-VFP_FP (1.400GHZ) – Gtab/Zpad" before installing the updates.

here is the link for the Kernel update:

Kernel 2.6.32.46

netflix and youtube not working

Thanks for the info. I tracked down my problems to the 11.0 Flash player that I was using. When I backed off to 10.3 and moved Netflix back to 1.4 things cleared up some. It seems that playing video in HD was causing the problem.

I will try your suggestions. One question: which of the kernals from the link did you use?

[G Tablet Android Development] koreandutch:
I personally think CM7 repack is more stable.

Ditto, after playing with all the new ROM releases, I decided to return to CM7 using the older flash player 10.3.186.3. Very stable and smooth. One of the few ROMs that let me run all the apps and streams. Thanks CM team.

VEGanTAB is the other one, that is my backup ROM.

Btw the most stable combo for me is flash 10.3.186.3 with Dolphin HD to play flash streams.

market proble with some apps

I have trouble downloading some apps from the market like appbrain, flash 11.

In the android market, it says "Your device is not compatible with this item". Is this a lcd density problem(It's set at 160), or do I need to change a property( like build fingerprint) in build.prop? Any suggestions to fix it?

A bout of force closes on my brilliant corners tab gave me the excuse to finally try this out.

Other than having to do the build.prop edit, it has performed well to date and seems to boot faster too.

I am curious to find out which bootloader I have on this gtab.

6 months ago I put vegantab on my mother's tablet.

So yeah I don't even remember how I did it. Do you guys think the Roms have come a long way since vegan tab? Also do I find the bootloader version by going into recovery?

Thanks!
[G Tablet Android Development] craigacgomez:
To verify the bootloader version... check this site for a how-to...

And yes, a lot of things are improving... CM7 is much more feature-full & stable...Flashback is now near perfect (except HWAccel & Cam)... the GTab kernel team @ SlateDroid has an alpha of a HWAccel enabled kernel for HC... things are moving along quite well!!

Uploaded the fix for the mobile signal icon showing up in the status bar in the latest release (CM7.2-RC0-Build98-REPACK)... link in first post...
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
/mnt is on the root filesystem which is usually mounted read-only on Android. Therefore, you have to remount it read-write to create directories in /mnt.

Type in a Terminal Emulator window (or, put the commands into a shell script and execute it after every boot):

gTablet$ [B]su[/B]
gTablet# [B]/system/xbin/mount -w -o remount /[/B]
gTablet# [B]install -d -m 777 /mnt/cifs[/B]
gTablet# [B]/system/xbin/mount -r -o remount /[/B]

You could also see if Mount Manager can create the mount point elsewhere--ie other than inside /mnt--/data/local/tmp is a good place.
[G Tablet Android Development] craigacgomez:
Mount Manager requires root so it should take care of remounting the system (I don't use it)... else as @rajeevvp said... change the mount location...

Also, have you loaded the cifs.ko kernel module? You would need this for CIFS mounting...
[G Tablet Android Development] craigacgomez:
Well, ICS is too large and heavy for me to even try to compile... (slow internet and only a dual core laptop)... besides, the kernel would need to be updated so you will have to bank on the guys working on the 2.6.36 kernel for Honeycomb... once that is done, ICS should be simpler....

But for now, the best you could do is probably use this amazing ICS CM7 tablet theme... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1373295
[G Tablet Android Development] SoNic67:
Probably that module is not loaded... I don't know the exact syntax to do that. In the kernels from Clemsyn it was already present.
[G Tablet Android Development] craigacgomez:
Get the extra modules from lib-2632.48_gb.tar.gz (link in the Add-on section in the first post).... look for cifs.ko...

adb remount
adb push cifs.ko /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.48-cyanogenmod/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.48-cyanogenmod/cifs.ko
adb shell insmod /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.48-cyanogenmod/cifs.ko

except the last line, everything else needs to be done only once... the last line may need to run every time you reboot.

To load it every time you reboot,

adb remount
adb shell touch /system/etc/init.d/90cifs
adb shell chmod 750 /system/etc/init.d/90cifs
adb shell echo insmod /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.48-cyanogenmod/cifs.ko > /system/etc/init.d/90cifs
[G Tablet Android Development] jessevl:
I am using this ROM on my Hannspree Hannspad (which is mostly identical to the viewsonic Gtab) with a different Kernel specifically for the Hannspad. While it is the fastest and most stable combination I've seen so far, I am having some problems with some opengl games which I think are caused by the rom rather than the kernel and I'm wondering whether anyone might have any clue why this is happening.

In lots of games (e.g. Galaxy on Fire 2, Backstab, etc) I have the problem that some shadows or things like smoke show as black planes instead. Also, some games crash immediately after loading (Modern Combat 2, N.O.V.A. 2 and ocassionally Galaxy on Fire 2). Other games like Shadowgun are missing textures (in shadowgun the ground is transparent while the rest displays correctly).

I have not seen this behaviour on other roms. How could this be happening? It seems like someone in this thread has also encountered this problem with a Gtab http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19686361&postcount=200

[G Tablet Android Development] SoNic67:
Can this be done in terminal/shell instead of adb? Or add into your image?

LE: terminal refused

chmod: chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.48-cyanogenmod/cifs.ko: Operation not permitted

Will try to copy and change mod of files and the system folder with "ES File Explorer".

LLE: That did it. I am using "Mount Manager" to load the CIFS module at start up.
[G Tablet Android Development] craigacgomez:
Yes, everything can be done via a terminal or an app with root privileges...

Via terminal:

#su
#mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#cp /sdcard/cifs.ko /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.48-cyanogenmod/
#chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.48-cyanogenmod/cifs.ko

#mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
[G Tablet Android Development] craigacgomez:
AFAIK... and I believe I am right... OpenGL for Gingerbread and higher on the GTablet is a hack at best... we are running Gingerbread on a Froyo based kernel (2.6.32.x)... Gingerbread runs on a 2.6.35.x kernel... Honeycomb on a 2.6.36.x kernel... ICS on a 3.x kernel...

There are several OpenGL issues because we do not have the drivers needed... so unless we get an official Gingerbread kernel, proper OpenGL support will be difficult to achieve...

I will be happy to be proven wrong... If you could point me to a Gingerbread ROM which does not have these issues, I will try to get things moving...

any and all help is greatly appreciated!!

Yes I am old, female and blonde so I can you any help I can get (HAHA)

Thanking you all in advance

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Download the ROM from the appropriate bootloader.

2. Verify the MD5Sum of the downloaded ROM.

3. Clear cache & dalvik cache using Clockwork recovery if you were not using a CM7 2.3.7 ROM prior to flashing this

4. Flash using Clockwork recovery.

[G Tablet Android Development] codf4ther:
Try increasing the lcd density value in the build.prop file by 20 and rebooting until you find a size that works for you. You have to reboot between each change to see the effect.

Try the following:

ro.sf.lcd_density = 180

ro.sf.lcd_density = 200

ro.sf.lcd_density = 220

ro.sf.lcd_density = 240
[G Tablet Android Development] gtabowner:
Thank you I will give that a try. Ok, I have looked in all the places I thought I might find Build.Prop and I cant't seem to find it. Sorry I am a noob can you tell me where this is

so that I can try that fix

Thanking you Again Jaye

[G Tablet Android Development] Oozura:
Flashed this recently to my gtab, and once the market updated, I can't download anything. I'm getting, the device isn't compatible on most all apps.

Resolved.

Reset lcd density to 160 and rebooted then cleared data for market. Reaccept the market eula and all is resolved. I must have updated the market and when the new market checked my dpi it screwed up the device id.
[G Tablet Android Development] gtabowner:
The only place I can find a system is in CM7 settings and build .Prop is not one of the options.

I sorry to be so stupid

I will need step by step because I am not finding it under settings, my files, and I do not know if like in windows you can do a search?

I may be in way over my head and it may be easier to flash another ROM.

But once again if there are step by step somewhere as I have only nvflashed then installed as ROM. I am sure there is an easier way right?

PLEASE be patient with me, I am trying to learn

Thank you again Jaye
[G Tablet Android Development] yukonking3:
You need to use a file manger like es file manger available from the market and besure to set the settings in file manger to r/w. Also your tablet needs to be rooted. Open es file manger then click on the favorite button it will open on the same page, next click on the up button and then you will be in the root of your file system. Scroll down till you see system folder and touch it to open. Then scroll down till you see the build prop.

Jaye
[G Tablet Android Development] nyciz:
You may want to download from the Market PropEditor. You then want to edit the build.prop, once you select it, scroll down to the bottom and find "ro.sf.lcd+density". The other post has value, I;'ve gone as low as 120 and as hi as 240.

good luck
