GingerBread Ginger Villain 2.7 Unofficial Port

Caution this rom is a beta rom and a unofficial port. This also means do not download the kernels in the built in manager.

This is beta build of the gsm rom Ginger Villain. Being the rom is built from cm source. It uses a cdma cm nightly kernel. As far I have tested so far everything works. Credits to the rom/work goes to richardtrip on here. All I did was port it. Here is the link to the home thread Click Here How ever the rom is a bit slow it seems compared to regular cm. Being I don't have a gsm desire to compare to. I have no idea if it is the port or rom.

Any way on to the screenshots:

Since I upgraded to 3.2 I can't use Google Maps for more than a few minutes without a popup asking me to calibrate my compass by moving the tablet in a figure 8 motion. Does anyone know a solution for this bug?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husker91:
You've done the calibration I assume?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstea:
About 10 times...just keeps on popping up.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtadams89:
Do you have your tablet in a case that has magnets?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstea:
No case. I also experienced a problem with the google search widget taking text but not launching into a browser.

I did a factory reset of the tablet. It fixed the google search widget. I am still having problems with the compass. Also this morning when I turned on the tablet the Wifi was not working...

I am going to try doing a reset again. This time I won't allow google to do a restore. I will just load apps manually. I will see if that makes a difference.

Thanks,
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstea:
No better....I have factory reset the unit three times. I am still constantly getting the compass calibration request and wifi disconnection...I may have a bad unit. I can't tell if these are 3.2 bugs because I just received my unit yesterday and I upgraded almost immediately.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheyenneDonna:
The compass calibration error message started popping up for me after the update. I do have a case with a magnet, the roocase, but, never had the popup happen prior to the update. I've had the case on since July 8th.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tasdisr:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobdude:
i am getting this as well in maps. Has anyone tried seeing if it works outside? I am going to try stripping the update as well.

EDIT: update is not the issue. Stripped it from the device with the same results.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtadams89:
Since i get this in the game Falling Fred, I don't think it is a bug with Maps. Rather, it would seem to be with the Android OS as a whole.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumbleweed:
Just verified here as well in Maps. I know it has been reported, but unless ASUS sees this as a problem for the majority they will not fix or push Google to fix.

How exactly would one do this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstea:
called asus support

I wasted time on the phone with Asus support today. They were completely clueless about this problem. They suggested that I return my unit for repair. I just received it two days ago from Best Buy so I exchanged. This time I tried out Google maps before I did the 3.2 update. The first time I launched the app it did complain about the compass briefly but no figure eight message. I can't remember the exact message. After that there were no more problems. I updated to 3.2 and the incessant compass calibration messages started again. it is also popping up in an unrelated app (game). This is a significant sw bug. I am surprised more people are not reporting the problem. maybe there is some hw dependance but I experienced the same problem on two different units. The first was a B70. My current unit is B60.

This sucks...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
I've got the compass message problem too... Started after 3.2, along with many other problems...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lanpirate:
Got the problem as well, since the update to 3.2, get it when playing "Cordy"

Ok in Google maps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshuaRead:
I've had this problem, too. Also, for some reason my battery has been draining really fast. Like, I've only used the tablet for about an hour and a half over the past 24 hours since it's been charged and it's down to 35%. I saw on the battery information that Google Maps has taken up 23% of it (I only had it on for about 5 minutes myself before leaving the app). Anybody know what the problem could be there? Wi-fi is set to disconnect when screen turns off and screen brightness is at about 55%.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstea:
If you are having problems with compass calibration requests please notify Asus support so they realize this is a significant bug. I have had it with 2 out of 2 units.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawliet:
Sounds like a software bug. Hopefully they can fix it soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstea:
I spoke with Asus support again today. They called me back to say that they are aware of this problem and that they are working on an update to address this and a number of other issues people are having with 3.2... I hope the message was legit.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoTeC:
Looks like we will see a 3.2 Build 8.x.x.x on the TF side. I know that the behavior on the Xoom 3.2 is the same on some issues so maybe we might see Google roll-out a 3.2.1 version.

Whatever it is, I hope it's soon... :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan76:
Glad to hear it's not just me. Happens the same as all of you for me also. Just after 3.2 update, in all games.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarrenB16:
Fixing itself?

I updated to 3.2 on Friday and started getting the compass calibration error message as soon as I ran Google Maps. No change Saturday. Sunday, I went on a 380km trip and used Google maps/navigation the whole way. Never saw the error message once. I'm now sitting home and have Google maps running, no error messages. Cross fingers. NOTE: I didn't make any changes to any settings.

Any ideas?

i just installed PRIMEE 9 for Acer Iconia, which is a Asus 3.2 port.. and i got this issue too. so the 3.2 asus release must have a bug somewhere?

ill see if it happens on other tablets here, but i think the xoom 3.2 port on iconia, did not do this.

anyways just to you guys know.. its not a hardware issue of 3.2, its a asus 3.2 bug only for now and can be shown to happen on iconia as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] originalone:
Hi,

I just got reply back from Dexter, that he made a fix for Asus tf101 3.2 users as well as for my acer iconia..

you find the patch here
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan stewart:
It could be down to different hardware. Maybe its a software calibration of the compass issue. I can make it happen actually on my girlfriends tablet. If I put it in a case with a magnetic latch it wigs out, the compass basically stops working and eventually you get that calibration window. Take it out of that magnetic case and it works perfectly.

Im betting they screwed with the compass sensitivity and its behaving different because the TF/Iconia use a different hardware compass to the xoom.

So really stupid question....What do I do with that file? How do I apply the patch?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iant54:
I've had my TF for over a month with no problems with the Compass calibration.

Yesterday, I got the 3.2 update, and the Compass Interference pop-up started immediately - I don't even have to use any applications before it starts displaying. It stopped popping up every few minutes for about an hour yesterday evening, but this morning, it's back.

Also, I've been in the habit of leaving the pad in the dock, but switching off the touchpad and wireless off - I the switch on in the morning, and it shows the dock battery as about 50%. I did that as usual yesterday evening, but this morning the dock shows as N/A in the dual battery widget.

[Update] I went into wireless settings and discovered that Bluetooth was turned on. I don't think I've used Bluetooth at all, so how that was switched on, I have not got a clue!

[Update 2] I think that the reason I was getting the continual pop-up on the home screen was that I had the map live wallpaper on my screen. I changed it, rebooted, and things seem to have settled down.

I'm going to post the problem on the Asus UK Facebook Wall, as I cannot figure out how to email Asus Support.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] originalone:
the patch is only for root'd tablets, so its done using clockworkmod. simply install like you install a rom.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevoryour:
I have my tablet rooted but I intentionally used the method that didn't install clockwork because I wanted to still receive OTA updates. Is there a way to apply this patch without having clockwork. Seems like since this bug was created by the 3.2 stock update that they should have a patch that you can run on stock tablets. What are the rest of the non rooted users going to do?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] originalone:
i would guess files can be copied into the system folder.. looking at the files inside, its just some framework patch.

so use something like root explorer and replace the framework files? should be an easy task, if no clockwork is available.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rustak:
Firing up maps after the 3.2 update, I saw the arrow spinning like crazy... after about 15 seconds it asked me to calibrate. But after I did that, it's now pointing in the right direction and is stable (and responds correctly to turning the tablet) -- no further prompts to calibrate. B6 unit, stock unrooted 3.2... so doesn't seem like all tablets are affected?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilghostrider:
I have seen this issue too, strangely enough though it only happens in one game. I might try and uninstall that game later and reinstall to see if that helps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevoryour:
Just wanted to let everyone know that I loaded this patch using root explorer and at first everything looked good but the next day I rebooted and got stuck in a boot loop. I used ADB to revert the files to backup and it came back alive. Anyone else have issues with this? Below is a copy of my original thread on the issue.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan76:
...basically what every other comment on this thread says.

Is there any update from Asus on this bug? Good thing there's a fix for rooted folks, but it sounds like a few people have applied the fix and get stuck in a boot loop; sounds risky. As great as Asus has been, I would expect a fix or at least some info.

Any other thread out there with this subject that I've missed? ...compass calibration error... happens in Maps, games, etc.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goplaycheckers:
I was having this problem incessantly in full screen apps (games mostly) on stock rooted 3.2. Flashed Revolver 2.1 (now on 2.1.1) and have not had a single Compass Calibration popup since. I don't know if the compass is properly calibrated or not but frankly, I don't care. I'm just glad to be rid of that constant annoying popup window. Revolver is awesome, btw.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SanFrancisco:
It's the software - 3.2 - AND MAGNETS

OK, I have looked all over the Net and kept track of the complaints, comments and date first made. I even contacted some people.

Everyone having this problem is experiencing it AFTER installing 3.2 via OTA. It's exactly what happened to me.

3.0, 3.1 no error message. I installed 3.2 and now I get the pop-up:

"Compass interference - move away from any interference or re-calibrate..."

The pop-up message appears in games, maps and elsewhere.

BUT I AM USING A CHEAP CHINESE CASE THAT HAS FOUR MAGNETS INSIDE THE COVER AND THE PLEATHER FRAME.

I moved the cover (lid) away from resting against the top rear of the unit (magnets were at 11 and 2 o'clock). The pop-up message disappeared.

Put the cover back to where it was, resting against the top rear of the Transformer (where the "webcam" is located), got the pop-up message.

So for me it's the magnets in the cheap case I am using. Those magnets interfere with and affect compass sensitivity.

For YOU it may be the same thing or there's other interference near the tablet.

(Note: I have four computers, three 32" monitors and an HD TV on at the same time, none of those cause the message to pop up on any version of Honeycomb. So it's my $30 Chinese case that's causing the problem.)

Since this did not happen with 3.1, THIS TELLS ME IT'S IS AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPASS BEING ADJUSTED TO WHERE IT WORKS BUT IT'S TOO SENSITIVE on the 3.2 update.

So we need to be able to adjust compass sensitivity, with an app, or ASUS needs to issue a patch that lessens the compass' sensitivity. (Or some of us can get quality cases that don't put nickel size magnets inside the cover. :))

Note: I would prefer a user-adjustable sensitivity feature. Didn't the GPS on Android 1.x, 2.x have something like that, where one could select location accuracy within a designated distance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SanFrancisco:
Try this too

For you to determine it's actually interference to the compass, that IMO with 3.2 is adjusted to be too sensitive, AND you are NOT using a case with magnets, while the message is on your screen move to somewhere else in your office or residence.

On moving the message should disappear off the screen.

On moving back to the area causing interference, the pop-up message should reappear.

I had to physically remove the case containing the magnets to make the pop-up interference message go away.

So again, IMO after these tests, it's NOT related to programs or apps one is using.

It is caused by something in your Transformer's locale that's actually causing compass interference. In other words, the message is NOT an error, there's actually magnetic interference in the area.

Since the compass hardware is run by software, 3.2 is obviously is "flawed" in that the compass is too sensitive. (I'm assuming people don't want the compass that precise, to where one has to perform a sweep of the area to figure out where the interference if coming from, might take an hour to find, and may be a source that can't be remedied.)

ASUS... fix this. The compass does not need to be military grade precise. LOL.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan stewart:
Can confirm this behavior. The same happened on the girlfriends TF. The pop up was often with the magnetic case on it and when on Google maps it was always pointing south. But once you remove the case it went away and compass functioned in other apps.

So its def a sensitivity issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SanFrancisco:
Magnet Update

Took a box cutter and similar to the box cutter scene in Breaking Bad I took the blade to the four magnets in the four corners of the cover and frame on my cheap Chinese case.

Put the Transformer back into the case, no more pop-up messages. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan76:
I don't know about the rest of you, but I just received an OTA update (already on 3.2... this is a new update to fix bugs within 3.2) and the compass calibration message appears to have gone away!

Woot... ASUS Issued A Fix!

Yes, the OTA update started rolling out August 22-23, 2011, and it fixes this issue. I am in San Francisco and I got notice last night, 8/8/11.

Sidenote: I am stunned at how fast ASUS is attending to updates for the Transformer, this makes the fourth one in a short time. Support is fantastic and a reason to buy this machine, IMO.

As others say, Netflix is working now too. I installed Netflix from a non-Market site and I could log on, select a movie to play, but would get a "not supported" message from Netflix.

After this update I opened the same program and this time movies played.

From Android Market I note that it says Netflix is NOT supported on the Transformer. Says: "Asus Transformer TF101 This item is not compatible with your device." It's also not listed on Netflix as a supported device.

Interesting that ASUS provided the fix so that Netflix would work. Does ASUS assume people are installing the Netflix app (including the proprietary player) from third party sites?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] IndivisibleP:
Had the tab for just about two days and I have already noticed some slight creaking from two spots on the bezel where the screen meets the edges of the back plate. I actually love this device and coming from the xoom the light weight and slim design are priceless. The only thing is it appears it may come at the expense of some durability. I have handled this thing very carefully and haven't done anything reckless or abnormal with it in this short time so naturally I am a bit unnerved to already hear creaking noises slip out from the sides.

It definitely feels on the delicate side (which i guess is ok because I have no need to use it as shield, hammer, or battering ram) but if it can't endure normal or careful use, that is a concern.

Is this is a normal problem? I saw that some handed out at Google I/O had the screen warp up from the body, were these replaced under warranty or have others had their tab serviced by Samsung for a similar problem?

Thanks in advance to all the commenters.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] IndivisibleP:
Ill take it no replies means its not an issue.

That's good. I really like this thing and if its not going to fall apart like a wafer I think it is an amazing device.
