[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdnguyen:
After months of pondering about buying a cheap, but highly rated Android tablet, I took a plunge and bought Viewsonic gtabs, Android 2.2, from tigerdirect.com. Turns out a smart decision! Me & my family love the gtabs, our first, without having to spend double the cost for more expensive Android tablets or iPad. Nice gadgets, at a cheap price. I wish it has hdmi port though. But these are mainly for my kids, to play and to learn, so no hdmi is not a major issue.

Anyhow, I flashed one of gtabs to Gtabcomb Beta 3.3, from my stock TapNTap ROM. I love the speed and performance of Comb, but I currently have the following issues with the Comb:

- Can't play most youtube HD clips in big screen like the stock ROM. I was able to play a few, and compare both side by side, the stock video is more smooth, and better resolution, and in bigger screen.

- Can't play flash on starfall.com, like the stock ROM. Since the gtabs are for my kids, this is a major disappointment.

- Netflix resolution doesn't look good as when played on stock ROM gtab.

- stock camera app doesn't work anymore.

Do you have the same issues with Gtabcomb Beta 3.3 version? I assume a fix is coming soon with new Gtabcomb version?

Thanks to those who spend time on developing this 3.3 version, and sharing steps and experience. Great job!

If video is so important, I would recomend sticking with a Froyo rom since they are the only ones with true, full hardware acceleration. If it's the HC launcher you really like, maybe give the VTL or ADW launchers a try.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkrahling:
Huge thread over in the Android Development forum
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g1no23:
The HD video issue is due to the lack of a hardware acceleration in Honeycomb roms. The camera is a known issue and is listed as a known issue in the Gtabcomb thread in the download post. Flash doesn't work in the stock browser but if you download Opera Mobile it should work fine. Not sure aabout the Netflix issue (I don't have Netflix) but it may be related to the no hardware acceleration issue.

Great ROM though, I just flashed it installed it last night myself. Do yourself a favor and replace the keyboard with Thumb Keyboard, you won't regret it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdnguyen:
Yes, HC is a good ROM, very fast. But said, youtube video playback isn't as smooth as clear as the stock 2.2 ROM. I can't play starfall.com (can you try out to see if it works on your gtab or not? ) either, even though i can play flash enabled embedded video clip inside CNN.com.

I currently have 1 in VEGAn-TAB, and 1 in HC. Both work pretty well, but I like the HC better, as it's faster.

I waiting for a new release to fix the smooth video issue and the flash issue. Until then, I love my gtab with HC.

Thx.

I use Opera browser to play flash sites like starfall.com. Works fine. The stock browser just plays sound with no video. I believe this is a known issue.

Could you run a quick HW acceleration test on both tablets and let us know:

My PC, firefox ----------> 60+ fps.

My gtab, HC alpha -----> 4 fps.

Thanks
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvanlaar:
I got 6fps using firefox beta on gtabcomb 3.3
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g1no23:
I just ran it on a Gtab with Opera on Brilliant Corners 1.2.1 w/ Pershoots latest and got 6fps as well.

Screen Orientation and other issues

I installed the GtabComb 3.3 today. Everything works fine except the following:

1. Screen orientation does not change when I rotate the tab. It's stuck in landscape mode. There is no auto-rotate option in Settings, which is weird. I see only brightness, animation, timeout and screenshot in Screen Settings. I'm using the default launcher.

2. Flash videos only play the audio part, no video

Does anyone know the fix for any of these? Thanks a lot!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matrix38:
the screen orentation is probably turned on in the settings causeing the rotation lock as for flash it will not play in the stock browser try opra mobile hope this helps

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdnguyen:
I got the following:

- 13fps for the stock browser

- 18fps for my HP EliteBook 8440p, Chrome

- Opera Mobile: very slow starting the test program. It got stuck at, "How fast is your browser?" for a long time, ~few minutes. When it starts, it is just sitting there at..."Working..."

I've been using Opera Mobile the past few weeks. it works great and fast. Not sure what the issue is.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdnguyen:
One app that doesn't work right is the Ants Smasher. On the VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1 ROM on my 1st gtab, it works fine and nice, in big screen. On my 2nd GTabcomb 3.3 Beta gtab, the app launches and works, but in very small screen.

Do you have the same issue?

BTW, starfall.com's flash does work for me now on my Gtabcomb 3.3. Using it to read books with my kids...Yay! Very happy on that. Now, if the youtube HD video/Netflix playback issue gets fixed on gtabcomb 3.3, ie, it plays smooth and in big screen, that would be awesome!!! Netflix works fine, but not as smooth as the stock Android 2.2 (when I initially got it on my gtabs).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igorv:
I'm currently running GtabComb and all is well except for known honeycomb issues. Anyone that wants to apply a logo where the small "android" text is at boot. I have a thread at slatedroid in Gtablet theme section.I have a bunch of different logos to choose from and all you need is clockworkmod installed.Each logo is in its own update.zip file that can be loaded like any rom, but it only loads image.Strangely it speeds up boot time and doesn't sit for long time like it does at the "android" text..I haven't figured out why yet but is a pleasant bonus.

I would post a link but I am new here and have to wait.

RC2+ Godmode looks pretty damn tempting, but does that performance enhancement drain the battery life? currently on evokings alliance rsl1 and the battery life is pretty awesome. battery is something i enjoy keeping up but a boost in performance no one can turn down ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobasaurus:
Looking forward to the answer to this myself
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Watcher07:
Personal experience so far is that I have taken a huge hit in battery performance. If I use my phone for 5 minutes or so, it drops almost 10%. After that it slows down its battery drain to about 5% every 20 minutes or so. YMMV so take my experience with a grain of salt.

*Edit* I'll add that RC2 Godmode just came out last night, so there's still plenty of tweaking to be done, workarounds for issues to be figured out, and other such stuff that comes with a pivotal rom release. I'm not switching to another rom because of Godmode, but if battery life is a concern, try out Godmode, if it doesn't pan out, head back to regular RC2. 'nuf said.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
My honest opinion is to sit tight a few days. I have rc2-gm sitting on my phone and I decided to wait.

The kernel source is out now. SO man things about to happen. Nets already dropped a version but its a basic universal. Plus it seems a high ratio(my option) of people are having issues with rc2-gm it seems.

This is coming from someone that literally has every current Rom downloaded to his pc.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoughtlesskyle:
i feel really dumb asking this, but i saw the ext2 for the file system and yaffs2 for the wear leveling. whenever i see ext2 i think of an sd card partition. does godmode partition the SD or does it format the NAND so it reads that way?

again im not exactly a noob but this just confused me
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
I asked basically the same question. I had mine set to an ext3 for the 3.0 roms but went to normal rc2. Apparantly godmode makes its own ext2 partition while installing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoughtlesskyle:
oh okay does it reformat the sd in the process or just makes a partition using the free space?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
To my understanding it just makes a partition and does NOT reformat the sdcard.

I might flash it today and report back but I do know people were restoring stuff just fine. I haven't read the past 4-5 pages but I read the 1st 10 lol since it dropped and nothing leans towards a full wipe.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoughtlesskyle:
your insight has been great please report back when you flash it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] github:
this has nothing to do with your SDcard. It just uses a different filesystem on your internal memory.

When you partition your sdcard for apps2sd, you need a filesystem on that partition. ext2/3/4 are native linux filesystems so that is what gets used. The other partition that you see from Windows is FAT32 which is a near universal filesystem across Windows, MacOS, and even Linux... but has it's limitations.

ext2, ext3, and ext4 are all just versions of the ext filesystem. Much like FAT, FAT32, and NTFS are all filesystems.

sooo.... my phone is stuck at the HTC evo screen.. i know what to do bootloader wipe and flash something else.. i did that i flashed the just synergy. but want this... so can some 1 help me out plz
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nYdGeo:
You may have figured this out already, but after flashing the Synergy RC2 + GM, your phone will often sit at the boot screen for much longer than normal. Then you get to the animation screen where it will also sit for quite some time. This is due to all of the tasks that the ROM installation is performing during boot-up. Some folks have waited 15-20 minutes to get to the lockscreen.

I hope that this helps.

Since updating to the latest 3.2 which mostly went fine, cwm works, netflix works, I've got one problem.

I can't get screen auto-orientation to work, in fact I can't get out of horizontal mode. I've messed with the settings and not seen it do anything. I've tried the + fix that popped up when I started this thread, nada.

Anyone else with this or that has solved it in the past?

Thanks much -- Hashi

EDIT: Found a workaround::

I'd been making , since I rooted, Titanium backups of apps, and realized that there was a new launcher (launcher 3.2) and that I still had the old one, so I backed up the new one, then restored the old one, (that worked for orientation), then restored the new one, killing off it's defaults, and it works again.

Nah, I can't recommend it, but it worked for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] funkiernails:
hello

i currently have a charge and have recently rooted it EE4. The root went fine and everything worked great for a few weeks. It was not until this week where i would go plug my phone into my computer which is running win7 64bit to mount the sd card and it would show up as a cd drive. I can view all of my files, I just cant write to the drive because of write protection.

For some reason I believe that it is a driver issue but I have tried reinstalling the drivers, which didnt work. Maybe i am not removing all of the drivers properly and reinstalling them correctly

I have tried connecting it to another computer, but it would also show up as a cd drive

I have tried reflashing the kernel and CWM

thanks

Hey folks

I am new to all this with rooting, flashing and so on, and i think it's exciting and awesome, so thanks to all the develepors, and the other guys who keeps this scene running!

I got a few questions about TI backup, that i need answered.. I have searched around the forum for a while, and can't find any exact answers to my questions..

With my phone rooted.. What would you guys go after, the free or the full version of TI backup, and why?

Whats the differences between the free and full?

I have also searched a bit round on the official users guide, and Wiki on TI backups homepage, but it's confusing i think..

And how is it with backup, flashing other roms and so on?

I now have the HoneySense rom flashed, and TI backup..

Can i take a backup of my sms messages, my app's, and their settings, and then flash another rom, and get the **** moved to the new rom?

And how does that work in practice?

- do i have to install TI backup on the new rom after flashing, or is there anyway that it could be installed with the rom, or how works that?

Finally, i got a question about ClockworkMod, since i can't find much information about the app on their homepage..

I got CWM installed,but what is is exactly? Is it somekind of bootloader, or?

And will CWM dissapear from my phone when flashing?

When i flashed to HoneySense, i did it with CWM, but that was also some kind of bootloader?

I really appreciate your time, and your willing to help

Thank you

Titanium Backup Pro has more features included, but i didnt need them already... if you use it to backup and restore your system and apps and you decide to flash a different ROM, you should only restore Apps, not Data... thats a choice you can make in Restore menue... i'm talking about your User-Apps, i never restored System-Apps or Data after a clean install of an ROM...

Greets Steffen
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giusdk:
Thanks for the answer already

Do you know more about it?

Could any action taken in TI backup cause the phone to crash and brick?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
The Pro version because you can batch restore, otherwise you have to restore apps individually.

You can restore the apps data as well, but not recommended across totally different roms, definitely do not restore system apps and data, anything in red. This might include SMS data (red), up to you to try. Other alternatives would be use other app such as GoSMS Pro (free) Edit: has backup option, or My Backup Root.

There might be a chance of force closes etc, if you've not followed the above, but never heard of anyone actually bricking their device. Worst case is having to restore a full backup made in ClockworkMod Recovery.

I use both CWM and TB Pro prior to flashing any new ROM. Also keep a copy on the PC just in case the sdcard has a bad day.

Don't forget to wipe dalvik cache in CWM after TB restore and reboot. It may take a few minutes to boot up, but don't worry.

If your Market doesn't show all your apps, try deleting market cache, reboot clearing dalvik, and use TB Pro to "restore market links" found somewhere in the menu. If still doesn't show all, TB recommends try downloading a new app then check again.

Edit: CWM is just a custom recovery. Has many more options than stock, allowing a full system backup and restore, also known as a nan / nandroid backup, similar to a ghost / image of your system. Can be used and updated through an app called ROM Manager, which is really just an interface / GUI for CWM (among other things).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottspa74:
I only got a sec or I'd answer more ????s.

I use the paid version simply cuz after using the free for so long and it saving me so much time and grief, i felt it only right to buy the full version. Plus the dev (joel) is awesome at direct support. Plus, on full version, you can make multiple backups of an app (for newer versions, etc) .

I would use a diff app for backup texts. Sms backup/restore is good, and free. And that way, you wont have to restore system app and data with Ti (which can cause issues)

Also, I Dont use CWM, I use amonRA, but yes, you will still have it after flashing a new rom, kernel, or theme. It is on a partition that goes untouched across flashes.

Ti, is an excellent tool.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Additionally:

Most custom roms have TB Free, but you will need to restore your Pro key first and reboot, that is if you want to batch restore the rest of your apps and or data etc. Otherwise it's one by one.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giusdk:
That was fast.. and usefull!

Thank you guys, that made it a lot more easy..

How do i clear the dalvik cache?

The CWM is a recovery tool.. So that if something goes wrong in a flash, i can recover by using CWM?

And to do that, i will need to take a Rom Backup, in CMW..

When i press the Backup Rom button i CWM, my phone restarts and boots into CWM interface, and backs up everything.. Where is that file stored, so i can move to my pc, and have the backup an extra place?

About the market problem.. I do almost only have paid apps, so when i login to market with my google account, they automaticly shows up under my bought app's..

:)

Thank you so much for the help so far
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
You can wipe dalvik cache from a menu within CWM Recovery, or several apps, including TB . TB / Menu / More / .....

Just backup using menu inside CWM Recovery or from within ROM Manager (uses CWM Recovery) before flashing any ROM. So if you don't like the new Rom or have issues, you can boot into recovery and restore.

Most custom ROMs have an advanced power menu allowing you to reboot directly into CWM Recovery, or you can from ROM Manager or from the Bootloader menu.

All CWM Recovery backups are saved to the sdcard / clockworkmod / backup
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] becoolboy:
Titanium backs up your apps and app data and some system data. While recovery backs up/restores your current ROM image, meaning back up will restore everything up to the second you backed up even the way you place your apps
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giusdk:
Thank you so much. That was answers to all my questions.. For now :D

At some later point when i am much more into all this, i am considering making a thread, with info to all the new people in the forum, like me, who don't know what the Dalvik is, and a little about what the kernel is and why it is there.. All the small but usefull stuff, that aren't on the XDA Wiki page about DHD..

That could be usefull i think..
