Market Unable to Download Apps on FB 10

Edit: Please disregard this post. The post above has resolved the issue. :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Just a random request/question, Is there any chance you guys change the boot image (the idiotic birds) and put the Tegra 2 one instead in the next update or simply put a flashable zip for that? Would be awesome since the thread for that on the theme section is very complicated and offlly scary :(

What is your Benchmark on FB?

I'm running a benchmark of anywhere between 2400 - 2900 overclocked at 1400 MHZ with FB 10. On Cyanogenmod gingerbread I was running a benchmark right around 4000. I'm just curious what kind of benchmark other people are running with flashback and if anybody else has noticed that Cyanogenmod is considerably snappier and responsive?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rothcha:
Here are my initial a10.0 benchmark results (overclocked 1.4/456)

Nenamark2: 23.9 fps

Smartbench: 4003

Antutu: 5922

I find a10.0 to be very quick and snappy.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irunwithmonkeys:
I run about 6000 on Antutu and 3200 on smart bench. Overall my tablet seems a little sluggish and takes a second to respond when doing anything. Is there any way to speed up the tablet? I heard about moving apps to the SD card but I'm not using an SD card.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mydave1:
Hi there,

. Option3, then Option2, in the OP is a recommendation for optimum performance.

. Another factor that could affect performance comes from installed apps, widgets, live wallpapers, etc . . There are ome excellent explanations from Mr Rajeevvp in these threads

Do you overclock?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irunwithmonkeys:
Yeah, I'm overclocked at 1400 MHz. I tried removing all Widgets and it didn't improve performance at all. Quadrant advanced is what I used as a basis of comparison. I get 3000 at best with flashback and used to get 4000 consistently as a benchmark on cyanogenmod. I was using the Clemsyn kernel though and was overclocked at 1500 MHz. Is it possible that little boost in processing speed could make such a large difference in benchmark between the two roms?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Dismiss the scores entirely. They truly mean nothing. Try rebooting into clockwork and clearing cache and rebooting. The first boot will take a bit and see if it improves responsiveness.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvduchovny:
I won't call it a problem as such... I installed Flashback the other day using Method 2. It installed fine. I put in my gmail settings, etc. I downloaded some of the programs off Market that didn't sync from the backup, those installed just fine. However I notice if I go to the Market via the web:

https://market.android.com/account

and look for my devices it only sees my vibrant phone and that's it. In the past, it saw my tablet as Gtabcomb (and even before when I was on Vegan Ginger). It's a little weird. I know folks have been complaining that Market isn't letting them install apps (but that doesn't seem to be the problem for me), it's just not recognized at the Android web version of Market.

I almost hesitate to install the Amazon App Store, but I'll probably do it later to see if it sees anything.

Otherwise, I'm liking Flashback 10 just fine. I still get the same quirk with the Crunchyroll app of exploding the video too big but my usual solution of pressing the home key, then the Opened apps key and selecting Crunchyroll again, fixes it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
This is a known issue and a workaround that was used so that the market is still functional. Your tablet will not show up on market.android.com.

Also, when you restore apps via titanium it is recommended to perform a market fix (clear market data and clear data on both google frame works services and force stop them, open the market and you will get an error, if not repeat, and then reboot the tablet) and it will reassociate all of the apps you restored with the market. Otherwise, the market may not see all of them and you can easily miss important updates.

It would be real nice if the original post, the one clear back on page 1, was updated as new versions were released.

I saw a post about Sleep of Death with 9 and something about 10 fixing that. Does anyone know more? Also, what is procedure? Just download the update.zip, go into recovery and flash?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Everything you want to know is in the first post. The change log link is there and it is recommended to do a full nvflash Option 3 install followed by an option 2 install.

Thanks Abu-7abash for the clarification and your kind-hearted will in helping others.

I wish to expand a bit more for new users:

. If FB9.0 version helps a tablet with SOD, then stay with it.

. If FB9.0 version brings SOD that a tablet did not have before, upgrade to FB10.0.

. Kernel developers have been working hard to minimize SOD for all rom's (Froyo, Gingerbread and HC). Please spread the word: if a tablet experiences SOD, participate and try a new series of Kernel from Clemsyn here.

I feel really dumb for even asking this because I am sure it is a simple issue, but...

I just installed FlashBack 10 on my G Tab last night after not having used my G Tab for about 4 months (I lost the power cord and just now got around to replacing it). It's my first experience with Honeycomb and I feel like it is a completely different OS as compared to other versions of Android I've used for years.

Every time I press the Home key (either the hard key or the software one), it takes me to a screen that displays the time in a large font. If I hit the back button, it will take me back to whatever I was doing right before hitting the Home button, but I can't actually get back to my Home screen no matter what I press (other than by hitting back over and over). How the heck do I make it so that the Home key takes me to my Home screen? Thanks!

WiFi/home network issue?

First let me say what an awesome ROM this is! I think it far out weighs all of the other ROM's that are out there. I have tried all versions of FB up to 10, but have always reverted back to 8.0 for one reason or another. I went back after trying 10.0 for only a day because of a somewhat minor but annoying WiFi issue. On my home WiFi I not only hide the SSID, but I also block network access. Previous issues of Flashback have always automatically joined the network after the initial setup, but 10.0 doesn't. The only way I can get it to join my network is to go back to my PC, log into Network Magic and disable the lock. Once the G-Tab has joined I'm okay, unless I have to reboot or I take the G-Tab out of the house and away from the network. Has anyone else had a similar issue? I did a reinstall using option 2.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul1965:
---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

FB 10 should be the same as FB 8 that I run. You have 5 screens to customize, and the middle one is considered the home screen. It sounds like the clock app is installed on the home screen. You can either long press and delete, or move it to another screen. As far as the back button goes, can't help you there. Just tried it with FB 8.0 and it didn't do anything when it comes to changing FB screens. Hope that helps!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WaffleBox:
That's definitely not the issue, as I have my home screen customized with a variety of widgets and links to apps. When I click on the "home" button, the screen it takes me to with the clock is not one of the 5 screens. I can't scroll from the clock screen to any other screen, or open up the apps drawer or do Google search or any of the other stuff you can do on the main screens. Literally the only things that appear on this clock screen are the clock, a link to set an alarm, and the three "main" buttons in the bottom left corner (back, home, multitasking). The multitasking and back buttons work as normal, but the Home button does nothing (because I presume it is just taking me to the clock screen I am already at).

If you have a T2, I think maybe there is enough difference between that hardware and the G-tablet (T1?) that there are issues with some drivers.

I'm assuming the stock ROM had no touchscreen problems?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
I think you have to add the files to the corresponding folders on the sd card (/sdcard/Notifications, /sdcard/Ringtones, etc.), not the folders in /system/media/audio/... like it's been before in other ROMs. That's what I did and I can use the notification sounds I added just fine.

I think it just added support for connecting to ad hoc networks (like when you use wifi tethering to connect to the data network on your phone). I hadn't tried it out on this ROM yet, but I'm glad this was added as I'm sure I'll be using it in the future.

My playstation emulators work great, no issues there.

For me, flashback 5.2 has a crash rate or reboot of about 2 times/hr with dependencies on how intensive the applications are. I don't mind the incompatible stuff, just the reboots. Considering flashing LBS kernel to see if it gets better.

You really should start your own thread for this rather than hijack someone else's (no offense meant). Be that as it may, it really sounds like you're doing something wrong. When I did my very first flash I learned the hard way that getting everything updated after a flash (app updates, etc) can take a long time, and eventually I learned to just let it sit and do it's thing. I found that flashing the ROM and let it do it's thing overnight was best, as sure enough I was up and running no problems the next day. That's not the say FB takes that long; quite the contrary really. But patience can go a long way!
