You're right, it's connected with higher CPU usage, but it looks to me like higher cpu usage is result of that issue same as killed apps, not its cause.

But I don't even know how to debug it:-(

Really important question is, whether it is present on other HC Roms. If not, just forget it, we will probably get rid of it when new Roms based on HC 3.2 start popping out (which looks really close now).

Question about Camera, Video Playback and Browser Issues.

Does anyone know if the following problems is something that will be fixed in a future update?

Camera Not Working

Video Playback Not Working

Browser Flash Not Working

I am very curious to know if here is an anticipated time frame for the fix.

Thank you so much by the way for all your hard work. Looks Amazing!:)

There most likely will not be any future updates, as the dev has appeared to have abandon this ROM. He has steadfastly refused to answer the simple question of whether or not he planned to update on numerous occasions.

Video Playback works fine - what is your issue there?

Flash works in Opera - which is documented - it doesn't work in the built-in browser.

The camera doesn't work even when it does work (it's a really crappy camera)

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
That is a heck of a first post...

The camera will not work until the source drivers are released that will allow it to cooperate with honeycomb.

High definition playback does not work in any of the honeycomb rom due to a lack of hardware acceleration. There are many players that you can download to play the high definition video files, but you will not see them in high definition. In order to view these files you need to go into the settings of the video player you're using and switch it from the hardware encoding to software encoding. Moboplayer is a great option.

Lastly, flash does work with the stock browser but you need to use the hacked .apk file that is included with the ROM. However, if you update it to the one in the market you will lose the hacked flash capabilities. My suggestion would be to install opera mobile, not mini, from the market. It natively supports flash and can utilize the flash available on the market. No hack required.

Hey guys, I am running CM7 on my gTab and am interested in getting this ROM. How do I figure out which version of the Bootloader I have? Booting into recovery tells me that I have ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8. does this mean I have the 1.1? Also, do I need to update recovery or will this suffice? thanks.

Yes, you have 1.1. There is a version of gtabcomb b3.3 for BL1.1. A better plan (IMHO) is to switch to 1.2bl and you will be ready for any of the honeycomb roms. See my easy guide here : http://raywaldo.com/2011/07/clockworkmod-1-2bl-honeycomb-on-gtab/

This is taken from SlateDroid. I would post the link, but it is frownded upon.

From Rob_z11:

You could use CIFS tool from the market which will allow you to mount your windows share, and it will show up under /mnt/cifs that you can access from ES File Explorer. Clemsyn's kernel supports Tunnel, CIFS and NTFS natively without loading module, and pershoot's kernel which comes with Flashback, you will have to load those module after reboot, and you will have the functionality.

to load module, goto terminal, and do following.

su

cd /system/lib/modules/

insmod ntfs.ko

insmod cifs.ko

insmod tun.ko

or you can get gscript tool from the market, and create a script for this, so you don't have to type everytime.

Once you have your shared under /mnt/cifs, you can open any of those file using either moboplayer or rockplayer or play music or stream pics through JustPictures.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
First things first: For a USB pen drives holding (mostly) short-lived files, formatting it as VFAT makes more sense than formatting it as NTFS. Are you OK with formatting your pen drive as VFAT? If yes, then your automount problems will be solved immediately. Or, do you need the pen drive to hold a NTFS filesystem for some specific reason?

Second: I don't mind looking at this further, but, not in this thread. This thread is for Q&A pertaining only to GtabComb. You have a more specific problem which is best discussed elsewhere--either in a separate thread or in that thread I posted above.

That doesn't help me at all.

Did you run the dmesg immediately after you plugged the pen drive in? The kernel keeps spitting out low-grade diagnostic messages all the time, so if you run the dmesg late--esp. with that tail command which only shows the last 20 lines--you will miss the relevant kernel messages.

Did you use the right device name? That is the purpose of running the dmesg command in the first place.

Do this:

1. Reboot the tablet.

2. Plug the pen drive in.

3. Run a Terminal app on the tablet and in the window, type:

$ [B]dmesg | tee /mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt[/B]

4. Attach that dmesg.txt file so I can have a look at it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johny.mnemonic:
You are missing a point here :-)

Gtabcomb actually started precisely this way. That's why Zyhong always remembers to thank VegaComb developers.

He just grabbed some older version of VegaComb and modified it to run on Gtab.

I hope he is secretely working on the same thing with new 3.2 version, smiling how greedy we are ;-)

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
The problem is getting to the 1.2BL. Almost all of the G-Tabs come on a 1.1BL. You need to be very handy with nvflash to do this.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
You don't need 1.2 BL for GtabComb, and most newer tabs have been coming with the 1.2 BL already from what I've been reading.

GtabComb BL1.1, BL1.2........either or, just install the correct one based on your current bootloader.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
No, it's not that bad. It has issues due to lack of HW accell, but most everything has a work around. Love the HC interface vs Froyo. I plan on staying with it. Every once in a while I get a random reboot & Gallery will force close on unlock sometimes (but then will work). Flash only works in Opera Mobile & the various Youtube apps. Netflix works great. You can watch Crackle in the browser (but not with the app) in low res. Videos play fine but no hardware decoding. USB mouse, keyboard & flash drives work. Bluetooth GPS works. Touchscreen is responsive & battery life is good. Hope this helps others decide.

Honeycomb for GTab

No. it is not at all difficult and it is not unstable. The problems are that the camera does not work and FLASH on the web is "flakey."

Visit my guide here http://www.raywaldo.com/2011/07/clockworkmod-1-2bl-honeycomb-on-gtab/ for a simple instruction guide to get it going.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
He was asking about honeycomb roms in general. BoS, FB and Illuminate (the big three) need a 1.2BL. I wasn't talking specifically about gtabcomb. That is why it is suggested that new users don't dive right into a 1.2BL upgrade. Also, most of the tablets are not shipping with 1.2 (4349) mainly because that OTA was pulled. Some of them are coming with it, but the majority are on 1.1 (3588).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvduchovny:
TEK112,

While the OTA update is gone, most new tabs that are being bought these days does have the 1.2 bootloader on them, no updated needed. I have a friend who bought his tablet off Woot about a month or so ago and it has 1.2 on it. Although I guess it all depends on where you are getting the tablet though.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raywaldo:
NVFlash to 1.2bl

You mentioned the "big three." I don't know which ROMS are the most famous, but here is the "skinny" on these:

BOS is older than GTabComb (GC) and Roebeet stated that he will not be continuing its development. It is not being supported except by users. That may be the case for GC? If so, at least GC is "fresher" than BOS.

I have tried Illuminate and it does NOT appeal to me at all and there are DEFINITELY some issues with support. The dev is accused of stealing other's work and even if it is not true, the entire forum was filled with arguing about it.

That leaves FlashBack (FB) as being the only GTab HoneyComb ROM with active development. However, FB WILL NOT WORK on 1.1bl at all and will NOT WORK on the STOCK 1.2bl either! The system partition HAS TO BE ENLARGED (from 200MB to 250MB). That means that ANYONE who wants an actively developed HC rom will need to NVFlash using RoeBeet's modified stock 1.2-4349.

For anyone wanting a SIMPLE guide to do that, visit http://raywaldo.com/2011/01/nvflash-for-dummies/. It will also guide users in changing from 1.1bl to 1.2bl or reverse. Other guides will step new users through the process of flashing a rom for the first time.

When you install it and boot up it will take you to a screen where you put in your google details. Market is part of the rom. So that shouldn't be an issue.

Future GtabComb development.

First off, as always, I wish to express my gratitude to EVERYONE who has put so much time and effort into customizing ROMs for the Gtab. Most excellent work people. I am currently running the GtabComb ROM and hope that development of this ROM can continue. I don't know if anyone has seen or spoken to zyhong. I do hope he comes back. I know his development thread was locked during the crackdown evidently because he is not a "recognized" developer on this site. Given his work I think the site should not require him to apply and should grandfather him in as a developer, unlock his thread and let him continue on with his work. Looking at some of the possibilities on some of the other developer sites I hope someone, if not zyhong, can make use of these developments with the newer kernels that may allow the addition of the rest of the drivrs for the Gtab. I know there are other ports being made from a couple of different devices that have the same hardware. I like this one and would like to see it move along as well. Mr.Moderator, could you please allow zyhong permission to post in the developer section again so we do not lose a talented developer. Love you forums, and the way you have reorganized, I just feel we need to get zyhong back on board.

Thank you for your time and consideration, and again for all the work you all put into this. These are MY observations, and I realize I may not know the entire story, so if I am off base or wrong...sorry. I just know a lot of people seem to want the same thing.

I was hesitant to leave this ROM behind, but since it seems to receive no more love from the developer...I looked at the only other compatible HC ROM available for our pads, the Flashback Honeycomb Alpha 7.2. To my pleasant surprise even G Sensor and hardware buttons are working on this release (with ab73v3 kernel for Hannspad), under the modified version that reduces the amount of apps coming with the system/data partition. I use it now on my Hannspad, but since its a Gtab development you might want to check it out http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/20159-rom-12-flashback-honeycomb-alpha-72-81111-g-tabletzpad-t2/.

The updateable 7.1 version with the reduced data partition is to be found here http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/21417-honeycomb-flashback-72-installation-steps/ Of course one could also resize data partition to 250 megs and use straight 7.2
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Ah! OK...Makes sense to format it as NTFS then. Or perhaps format the drive as ext2/3 to have files > 4GB and also have automounting? You can still access the drive native on Windows.

Let's look at the relevant lines in that dmesg text file:

Lines 521 to 533 show that the kernel detected a 8GB USB pen drive.

Line 539 shows what device name to use with the mount command. There are no surprises here. The example command given work without problems.

Lines 542 and 543 are the result of the vold program trying (and failing) to automount the drive as FAT32.

Line 546 is unnecessary on GtabComb as the module is already pre-loaded. (And as the error message indicates, you have to copy the module there before you can load it)

Line 548 is unnecessary on GtabComb as the module is already pre-loaded. Check what modules are loaded on the gTablet by running a lsmod command:

gTablet$ [b]lsmod[/b]
dhd 201255 0 - Live 0xbf09e000
gspca_main 21458 0 - Live 0xbf092000
tun 10899 0 - Live 0xbf089000
nls_utf8 1143 0 - Live 0xbf083000
ntfs 207365 0 - Live 0xbf046000
cifs 235744 3 - Live 0xbf000000

If the modules are already loaded, don't load them again.

Line 550 shows that the mount command succeeded (no error messages).

Verdict: Your USB pen drive should be visible under /mnt/usbdisk.
