1.6 rocks

I am still using 1.6. It is blazing fast and stable. I got the highest scores in famous benchmarks among other ROMs.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZebTheCalvinist:
I think I'm going to hold off on updating until there are a few more kinks worked out, too. I've got 1.6.2 on mine, and it seems to be working really well.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyhong:
yes, if 1.6.2 works well for you. you might want to stay on 1.6.2 for a while. I also notice some performance issue in NI Adam port comparing to 1.6.2. I think the cause is that NI tweaked some parameters for 1G memory and gtab only have 512m memory. I will try to get another version out when I got time.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] millertimefl:
Has anyone else tried the browser "Puffin"? I am getting great full HQ flash on 1.6.2! Some of the videos have poor frame rates, but it is really fast and smooth. No pinch to zoom though. Only $.99...worth a try.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MicroChip:
I never tried 1.6, started this with 2.0. I ran BOS for a long time, but on BL 1.2 every rom had sleep of death problem, so I went back to CM7 on 1.1, and then saw this and tried it.

Everything seems great, no sleep of death. It installed with a version of flash that the market said had to be upgraded, so I did. Before upgrading flash, both stock and dolphin browser said "flash required" wherever there was a vid on a page. Once I upgraded, I get the expected audio with no video.

Is flash supposed to be working on this rom?

Also, I didn't check, but does USB mounting work?

Thanks!

Did you guys know that if you open the youtube site and then play a video using flash ... you only get sound right? .. try double tapping the white space where the video should be playing ...and then you will see the video fullscreen running.... btw i am using this rom but on v 1.6 also flash was installed from market.... and using the stock browser

Performance difference?

Great! zyhong's HC (1.6.2) hardly gives me FC. I never recall that there were notable FCs while I was using this ROM. How about the performance? Can you post some of benchmark scores? I am curious about the performance differences between 1.6.2 and 2.0.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvduchovny:
2.0 Beta

I put it on yesterday. My system freezes. 1.5 would freeze from time to time so I'm holding out for the fact that there will probably be a 2.0.1 down the pike.

I find it is actually slower than 1.6.2. I haven't had any FCs per se (well not anything that doesn't already force close like the Facebook widget). I'm not having the Market issues that someone had reported. I will continue to use it because I rather like honeycomb.

Thank you for your hard work Zyhong. You keep us on our toes. In a good way.

I installed 1.6 and 2.0 on my new gtab with no luck. Neither get past the bootanimation. I've done all the normal tricks, so anyone have any advice on what else to try? Currently on CM7.0.3
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thejoos:
CM v0.8

The instruction says the following:

1. Make 100% sure you are at Bootloader 1.1

2. You MUST use CWM v08 to flash this rom. NO Stock Recovery.

Based on the assumption that you have the above, you must wait for at least 2 to 3 minutes after installing the ROM for the first time. I thought the it never passed the android text in black background. but it eventually passed and showed up a nice HC UI.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thejoos:
A Tip for installing the ROM

I don't do above normally. I just mount system and data then install the ROM.

Then I mount system and data again and wipe user data for market to work.

so i just place the zip file onto the sd card and go into cwm and install zip from there?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sess:
Yep, I had the same problem for a full day. Full format and everything didn't resolve the issue. Rom starts off working ok, but becomes unresponsive over time and generally leads to me having to powercycle the tablet (*edit* thinking about it now, probably related to cpu throttled by battery level, as it was working fine when i started in teh morning). Switched to Honeycreamadam alpha 6 and never looked back. Been running it for days now without a single lockup or reboot needed, and its generally faster and more responsive. It does have random points where it lags, but again, I prefer lag to lock ups.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlayfulGod:
I'm use to installing ROMs and having long initial boots adn read here that it may take longer at first for this one. But I waited like 30min on each version and reflashed numerous times and got the same result. Have noticed I have cwmr 2.5.1.8 installed and not 2.5.1.1-betkit-0.8, would that make a difference? I'll give it a shot anyhow lol.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sess:
wipe dalvik cache. Thats happened to me in the past too. Multiple wipes of data/cache is just silly.

edit

and I forgot to quote the guy, its for whoever was having problems booting into the rom initially even after wiping cache/data, and then the individual who replied telling him to wipe cache/data 6 times.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlayfulGod:
Yup do/done that also ;)

NOTE: 2.0 has been at notionink screen for about 5min now....

Ok after over an hour still not made it no further than the bootanimation.

thejoos,

CIFS is a protocol used within Linux to map to network shares. I like streaming music and video using CIFS and the CIFS manager available on the market. When I had 1.6 loaded it did not have CIFS and 2.0 does however it does have its problems. I would go back to 1.6 if I knew of a kernel that would work with 1.6a, b, or 1.62 that contained CIFS and TUN for VPN.

I'm using wireless tether (wifi tether is the same I think and is perhaps the new name) ver 2.0.7 on my rooted Evo and it's broadcasting in infrastructure mode. Here's a link to 2.0.5 which supposedly is one of the first versions with this mode: http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre1.apk . People in the thread where the link comes from were saying that it works in this mode.

Also, on the page you link above there's all of the new and old versions for download. By default I'm running in infrastructure mode. I quickly scanned the setup and didn't notice a switch to change modes.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johny.mnemonic:
Just small note to this.

I found, that the issue is, some wireless modules sucks and cant do AP mode.

I found this statement from developers of wireless tether:

Some guys with Samsung Galaxy reported infrastructure is now working with latest version of wireless tether (3.x), so support for Samsung devices is maybe also there now.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johny.mnemonic:
1.6.2 is using Pershoots kernel from 04.06.2011, so you can use modules for it. I did it and CIFS and TUN works fine.

Or you can flash newer Pershoots kernel from 02.07.2011 and also add those extra modules.

But backup first, I didn't try that new kernel with this ROM so far.

Okay a update on what I got to work. 2.0 n 1.6.2 would boot, but 1.6.1 did.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MicroChip:
I got very frustrated with the 1.2 bl honeycombs because of sleep of death, and so I went back to 1.1 and got very frustrated because as much as I always loved CM7, on a tablet, it's not honeycomb.

I installed your 2.0 (never used previous version as I said before), and it's the best. I wish flash worked, and I get the occasional fc on gallery or maps if I reboot, but no sleep of death, wifi works great, tablet is fast, lasts pretty much all day including sitting in meetings checking e-mail and surfing the web. Anyway I just wanted to say I appreciate your rom, and I hope you keep up development.

Thanks!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianafischer:
After doing some reading on this thread I decided to use 1.6.2 since it is supposed to be more stable than 2.0.

I was previously on Vegan GingerEdition which had multiple issues:

sleep of death

static audio

6-10 minute boot time

google reader incorrect screen size

force close in picasa gallery

no hardware acceleration

lockups in plants vs zombies

Overall I am very impressed, thank you for the hard work and putting this on a 1.1 bootloader. I was able to get flash working in Opera Mobile and youtube seems to work great for SD videos.

Improvements seen from GingerBread:

The overall OS experience is much more enjoyable

HC UI and touch screen are much more responsive

Can now install tablet applications via Google Market

Applications are scaled for tablet use and do not look like "big phone" apps

Issues in GtabComb 1.6.2:

Lockups in plants vs zombies

My Location via wifi was not working

CNN application force closes upon launch

uPnP give a could not connect error

No camera

Flash does work in native browser (I am using Opera Mobile instead which supports flash fine)

If I could resolve the issues with uPnP and My Location I would be extremely happy with this ROM.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramerco:
Use nvflash to format all the partitions then restore them from one of the stock images, then re run the update. Couldn't hurt to re-partition the sdcard while you are at it. Just make sure you know the consequences of doing these things (data loss, backup first!) before you try them.

So this is the first time I'm updating a HC ROM from one version to another, would it be just like any other ROM, just update on top without wipe or would you recommend wipe cache/data?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyhong:
1. make sure you get the right bootloader version.

2. if you have not done the 2048/0 partition of sdcard. this might be the right time for you to do that.

3. flash the rom again and it should work. if not, unzip, and remove /system/etc/inandop.sh (this is the script for data2loop), zip it again. if it still do not work, then i guess you should stay on the rom that work for you before for a while.

is that for the internal sdcard or external? I'm guessing internal.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Thanks for this ROM, zhyong.

I switched to this ROM from CM-7.0.3 for another project, and the ROM install was smooth and completely painless. All I did was, take a full system backup using CWM, and then do a wipe data/factory reset before flashing the beta 2.1 zip file.

Users wishing to install this ROM please note that after flashing the ROM, the first boot can take a pretty long time to get to the setup screen. On my gTablet, it was "stuck" at the ANDROID screen for about 5 mins and at the splash screen following that for 2 or 3 mins more. I would recommend new installers wait at least 15 mins before deciding that their install has failed.

I dl'd your 3.0 that definitely says bl1.2 in the file name, but when you use cwm to install it says gtabcomb for bl1.1. Is that an oversight in editing your script? When I boot it, it gets stuck at Android right after the Viewsonic birds.

I'm not trying to be a pain. I love everything about this rom so far. I am just confused about why today's update mentions HQ flash working and the only thing that will play video is YouTube. Does this not apply to other sites. My kids play on my tablet and they cannot watch the Disney and Nick Jr videos that they used to on the CM7 rom. Cannot anyone clear this up for me?

Did I mention that I love this rom. It is sleek and fast. Much better than previous HC Rome I have tried in the past.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbhouston:
Brilliant, so close to perfect

Man, this is a beautiful, fast, and stable ROM. I'm so close to making the switch permanently. Only a couple of things are holding me up:

As with other HC roms, Microsoft Exchange seems to be pretty spotty. When I asked it to sync a full month, it hung up early. Oddly, if I set it to sync just 3 days, it works again. Unfortunately, with my work, that's not enough to meet my needs.

Also, because the external Micro SD card is mounted differently than other roms (it shows up as a USB somehow?), Google Music and Titanium Backup don't find things there. I expect there's a workaround on the music, but I hate the thought of having to replay all hose games of Angry Birds!

Thanks for the incredible work you and the others are doing. I find myself fondling slicker new tablets at the store and always coming back to the belief that y'all will make my gTab the beast it is capable of being.

It took between 5-10 minutes on my G-Tab for the android logo to go away, and for the rom to boot. If it continuously fails like that, just try the following:

- Delete the saved rom from your computer.

- Re-download the rom

- Mount storage from cwm

- delete the old rom from your G-Tab

- copy the fresh rom over

- wipe/factory reset

- clear cache partition

- advanced -> wipe dalvik cache

- install the rom

- reboot

- wait....

That should do the trick.
