Thanks for that. I actually saw a mention of it in the Infuse section and may take that step, but I read that it sometomes screws up other programs' display. May try this weekend and will report back if I do.

On another note, this ROM is excellent so far. very stable and really well put together. Thanks for all your work. It is very much appreciated.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aasoror:
Can't install on internal SD ? Here is a fix ...

You are sure not alone, for some unknown reason every single question raised about this issue is dodged !! perhaps because its not present under bl 1.2 ? (I had to go to another forum just to this confirmation).

Its a bug, there is a mismatch between the mount labels in vold.fstab and init.rc

So what I did is switching the devices mount labels in the vold.fstab (you can use root-explorer or similar to do it) from

dev_mount [B][COLOR="Red"]microsd [/COLOR][/B]/mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2
# todo: the secondary sdcard seems to confuse vold badly
dev_mount [B][COLOR="red"]sdreader [/COLOR][/B]/mnt/external_sd auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
dev_mount usbdisk1 /mnt/usbdisk auto /devices/platform/tegra-ehci

To

dev_mount [B][COLOR="SeaGreen"]sdreader [/COLOR][/B]/mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2
# todo: the secondary sdcard seems to confuse vold badly
dev_mount [B][COLOR="SeaGreen"]microsd [/COLOR][/B]/mnt/external_sd auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
dev_mount usbdisk1 /mnt/usbdisk auto /devices/platform/tegra-ehci

Now everything is working as expected, ofcourse using an externalSD seems to mess up whatever installed on the internal one (till its removed and the gtab reboots). Getting this fixed is beyond the scope of my interest as I am used to using the gtab with just the internal storage.

I will upload an update.zip to the thread whenever I have enough time.

Zyhong, would you consider incorporating this into your future releases ?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyhong:
if someone could confirm this solve the problem described here and does not seem to break things in other places, I will build a hotfix for this and maybe some small changes (so that you guys do not need to reflash. I will only build hotfix except major changes, e.g. some breakthrough from adamcomb team or the 2.6.36 kernel, for this rom in the foreseeable future)

Sleep of Death

Thanks Zyhong - I have tried this and I will report back.



Nvanlaar - That is the same setting that I used and the SOD got so bad that I RESET to Factory to try to fix it. I even went back and repartitioned and re-installed. Nothing helped. I was about ready to revert to CM7 until I saw Zyhong's possible solution.

Now I have some hope. Later...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raywaldo:
Freezes

CM7.0.3 is a good alternative but it is back at Android 2.3. rather than Honeycomb.

Visit my "New Guide for Rooting the ViewSonic G-Tablet" if you want to revert to it.

If you want to stay on Honeycomb, this is almost certainly the best rom available. Regarding the freezes/lockups, see Zyhong's possible solution (I quoted it in the previous post).

I have Thumb Keyboard working as well.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akman:
I tried out b2.0 and b2.1:

b2.0 comes up with a reasonable looking bluetooth MAC address. I can successfully connect and get an IP address from my phone's PAN. But then I can't actually reach the internet.

b2.1 comes up with the generic 43:29:B0:00:00:00 bluetooth MAC address. I can connect to my phone's PAN, but I can't get an IP address. dhcpcd returns immediately without any output. This is the same behaviour that I observe on b3.2.

So what, other than the kernel, is different between b2.0 and b2.1 that is causing this bluetooth MAC address issue? I'll continue to explore the ROMs. I've got 2.0, 2.1 and 3.2 all unzipped (boot.img split apart and all the ramdisks expanded) and I'm slowly exploring the contents.

Also, I played a little more with /etc/bluetooth/bdaddr (putting the generic MAC address in it, setting perms to 444), with no effect.

Has anybody else got a PAN client working on this ROM or any other HC ROM? Does anyone have any more info about this?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wykedengel:
First, GtabComb rocks. I installed it on BL 1.1 without issue. However, I have a weird issue going on that I am wondering if someone could explain. Last night, everything was working without incident. I turned off my tablet, tuned it on this morning and got the dreaded boot loop. Okay, no problem...or so I thought. When I went to wipe the cache I was informed that it couldn't find my SD (internal I assume since I don't have a micro SD installed.)

Anyone want to take a stab at this one? Many thanks.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akman:
I applied this change and now apps can install and be moved to "USB storage" (they actually go to /sdcard/.android_secure). I'll post again if I run into any problems with it. I haven't tried inserting a microsd card. If I understand the problem that aasoror described, this might actually be a bad change for people who regularly use a microsd card.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rover442:
Correct. I use a microsd card and it gummed up the works. I had to undo the fix, plus it also caused grief with my market as well. There needs to be a solution for those of us that use our microsd cards so that we can reliably download apps from the market. I'm sure someone can find a fix. It's really a great ROM with just a few hiccups.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aasoror:
If you need to exclusively use the microsd card then just don't apply the fix, apparently so far its "either/or".

The fix shouldn't mess up the market, without the fix externalSD will work fine for application installation, after the fix internalSD will work fine for application installation.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
I've been bouncing these things around in my head for months (literally). I don't mean just 1.2, I mean the modding process itself and how many mods exist and how confusing it can be for users.

Take the HC ROM, for example - at last count there are four of them for the GTab, including my own. And they are more similar than different. BUT, keep in mind that it's a testament to the GTablet that they are four people actually working on essentially the same ROM. We could just as easily have no one working on it. It might look inefficient, but believe me I've looked at each of these and learned something. So it's not a waste of time, at least from my perspective. I've gotten PM's from users of the Olipad, for example, and they didn't have ANY modders working on their device. I'm sure that they would be very happy if they had to muddle through all the options that we have, with the GTAB.

Going on past experience, these things will work themselves out. Certain ROMs will become more popular and the old ones will stop being developed. But it's going to be a bumpy road for a few months until it does - users will just have to read and try to decipher what's best for them to use. My opinion on the matter is obvious - I personally would like to see everyone on 1.2, including cyanogemod. I think 1.2 itself it inevitable and if a HC ROM and a Viewsonic update are forthcoming, those will really push everyone to that direction and finally put this to bed.

However, I'm just one guy with his opinions. Going on the comments in this thread, it's obvious to me that we're not quite at the 1.2 swingover yet. Quite a few people are still concerned about jumping to 1.2, so this gives them a way to test an HC alpha without taking a high risk. So this definitely has value right now, imo.

Correct, basic Flash works (including ads, unfortunately). But not Flash video - you'll get audio but no video playback.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
I suspect more and more people will be jumping back and forth as often as I do now that I have made a single zip file available for this. Before, people were intimidated by nvflash because you have to download 3 different things and combine them. I've combined the nvflash files and the stock image so that all they have to do is download, unzip, and double click the bat file.

And yes, I agree with you that we should be pushing for people to start migrating to 1.2. It's the inevitable future of the gtab development.

<"SoB" is my name for this ROM until the OP renames it ...>

I was fully ready to jump to BoS 5.2 but I decided to use this version on 1.1 BL just because I started on Clem/Calk5 on 1.1 BL and I figured it would be slightly easier to try "SoB". Plus, I did a CWM 0.8 backup and if I decided to go back, I could restore from that backup.

Here's what I did to upgrade from Clem/Calk5 1.1 BL with 0.8 CWM:

- transfered "SoB" zip file to sdcard

- transferred "Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL.zip" to sdcard

- booted into CWM recovery

- installed/ran Calkulin format all

- cleared data/cache/dalvik

- installed "SoB"

- cleared data/cache/dalvik

- booted

Everything came up really well. The first time I went to the use the browser, it asked me to load Flash and that worked. After loading a variety of different apps, I found that the "not-working" list as documented by Roe on the other site applied to me as well.

Nice work devs! This ROM seems stable enough for me to stay and play for a while ...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvduchovny:
Despite the flash quirks, I am liking this. Yes eventually I'll upgrade to 1.2 bootloader, but for now this is good enough. I will mention a different bug. Some videos goes super full screen. You will see only the tops of heads when videos play. It does this on the engadget app and the crunchyroll app. This is a really good start though. This will be great once the bugs gets ironed out. I greatly appreciate all the hard work you developers put in to make the gtab one of the most fun tablets out there.

I installed SoB last night, and so far, it's working great. I'm really, really digging the honeycomb layout, especially with the Gmail app.

The only issue that I have noticed so far is that after the tablet is running for a while, it seems to get bogged down. Restarting the tablet gets it back up and running smoothly, though, and it boots fairly fast.

I installed it fine. Once I restored my apps and system data the system went to hell. Keep getting FCs for framework. I'm reinstalling now and not going to restore all my apps. Just the ones I really want. I'll redownload the rest.

One thing I did notice is that the email app will not hook up to Hotmail. Also the market wants me to login again but once I do it says my account is already linked to this device.... I'm reflashing now and will see if I get the same issues.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thejoos:
110% agree

I totally 110% agree with you. Since I installed this ROM yesterday, I never restarted again. It runs quite nice. No FCs. CPU is over-clocked over 1.5 MHz. It adjusts the clock speed by the battery life.

I am planning to donate a little bit of money to the developer who compile and introduce this to me.

Keep it going!

Great work zyhong, ive been thinking about trying HC out, but was a little concerned about changing bootloaders as id bricked a tablet once before due to a bootload change, which at the time i was not aware the rom i was installing was going to do. So when i saw this i was over the moon, great work mate. Beside the lack of flash, which unfortunately i do need, this HC build is perfect. Just have to wait and see if they can lay hands on the required drivers to support the opengl. Keep up the great work guys.

Zyhong: Thank you for this. I have been watching the Bottle of Smoke board for some time, but was just not confident enough to jump from my very stable 1.1 Vegan Ginger rom.

Today I downloaded your 1.1 port and installed it (after first making a complete nandroid backup). My experience has been mixed: some things I don't care about work fairly well and some other things I do care about don't work at all. But it looks like I can read comics pretty well, so I am going to give this a try for the next week or so.

I had a problem installing apps (any apps, not just from the market). I was able to fix it by going into adb shell and changing the permissions of:

chown 1000:1000 /data/app /data/app-private

I actually made new directories, copied over the files and then did the chown. but I think only the chown was necessary. The example I coped from said system:system, but that didn't resolve in the shell, so I used 1000.

For reference, this was the error capture from my logcat:

As far as the rest of the ROM, once I got the above fixed, it's been working pretty well. It's not my main do all device, so I can live without everything working. And having the honeycomb features is well worth the trade off. I still haven't tried mounting external drives yet, which was one of the reasons I got this tablet. But otherwise I've been very happy. :)

Vic, not to be rude, but if you wanted things to be perfect, you shouldn't have installed a beta Rom. With that said, I would suggest Cyanogen or G-Harmony. I've used both, and think you'd be fairly happy with either.

Camera doesn't work on any HC port to date.

I suggest you clean up properly and reinstall the ROM, according to many this is the best HC port out there.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rover442:
That's not true. Without the fix you cannot install from market. I keep getting "installation unsuccessful." So this is a major issue. Also, there isn't such a thing as microsd card exclusively. Some apps will not install on an external micro sdcard and must be installed on the system.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aasoror:
Did you try it yourself ? When I was debuging this issue and before I came up with the fix I was able to use an external 4GB SD card to get my market/sideloaded/amazon installations that wasn't installable otherwise and I have verified that the installation all goes to the microSD card and not to the internal storage.

Now I don't fully follow you, you earlier said that the fix messed up your market, now you just said you can't even get the market fully functioning without the fix. So at least the fix gave you access to an otherwise blocked 14GB of internal storage. Which is (IMHO) better than no storage at all (according to your post above).

True, but such apps will only work on the data (i.e. system) partition (the 2GB partition of the internal SD) and isn't installable (and if moved would not work) on either the internal storage (14GB partition of the internal SD card) or the external one (microSD). Such apps are not affected with the fix.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rover442:
First of all, yes I tried this. Maybe I didn't make myself clear about the problem. I'm not talking about sideloading apps. I'm saying that you cannot download and install from Market without problems. When I tried your fix, you could download from Market initially, but you lose access to your microsd card. That's not a good thing. When I reverted the vstob and rebooted, is when my Market issues started again, only this time worse.

You wrote:before I came up with the fix I was able to use an external 4GB SD card to get my market/sideloaded/amazon installations that wasn't installable otherwise.

I cannot download and install from Market. It seems you were able to at some point. The only way I was able to was by using your fix, which removed access to my microsd card. I hope that explains it better.

You wrote:So at least the fix gave you access to an otherwise blocked 14GB of internal storage.

I always had access to the 14GB of storage. The fix took away the access to my 32GB microsd card storage.

So in closing, before the fix I had access to 14GB internal storage and 32 GB external microsd card storage, but couldn't download apps from the Market and instal. After the fix, I had access to 14 GB internal storage, no access to the external microsd card, but could download from market. When I reverted back to the original scenario, my market became completely borked and I had to re-install the whole ROM. I'm still unable to download and install from the Market.

Crazy question.....

@zyhong

Ok so, I know this its gonna sound crazy but.....

Is there a way to remove this tweak?

Annoying ads in programs are blocked

The reason I'm asking is, I think the adobe flash fix for hulu that's floating around in another thread will work on this ROM if this tweak is removed...

Call me crazy, I know... I love the idea of no ads on the browsers and I have to say it works great but I'm thinking this tweak is preventing certain sites like hulu, cnn, espn from properly streaming...

I'm a news junkie and I don't mind putting up with ads in order to get good content.

Suggestions?

Insults?

Death threats?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aasoror:
Could you elaborate more on how it got worse ? you weren't even able to install apps that would default to your data partition ? have you tried clearing the market app cache ?

I am on bl 1.1, the fix didn't break my microSD card, instead (as I noted in my post couple of pages ago), the microSD card is detected and accessed correctly but access to the programs installed on the internal SD is lost (though access it to the internalSD storage under /sdcard was working fine), I had to remove and reinsert the microSD for it to be detected. The programs on the internal SD worked fine once I rebooted (after removing the microSD).

Same here, with the word "access" I meant the ability to install programs. Sorry if I missed some of the details in the recent posts because I have been already posting about this issue in full details a while back.

If it's important you can update to bl 1.2, according to slatedr0id users they experience no such problems under GtabComb for bl 1.2 (believe it or not I had to go to another forum just to get that question answered).

After I reverted back to the original vstold, I was getting an error that wouldn't even allow me to access the apps on the market for download. I don't remember the exact wording....sorry, but it was something with purchase cancelled, even though I was trying to get free apps.

I did do the clear data and it was of no help.
