NETFLIX!

I've had this ROM installed for 30 minutes and so far I'm grooving on it. I came from VEGAN Ginger, really like that ROM but it was getting very dated.

NVFlashed back to 1.2 stock with CWM then installed Flashback downloaded from the first post.

Netflix didn't appear for me in the market so I downloaded the latest NetFlix APK from here droid life (do a search on netflix and select the article talking about an update for 1.3)

Installed and it worked out of the gate.

EXCELLENT!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smishra:
I played it safe and did an NVFlash and fresh install. All works well now. I figure I have been tinkering around so much I probably will never find out what actually caused the button to die.

Love this ROM!

Hi, is this a suitable ROM for Olipd 100 too? (Olipad is reported as a clone of zPad).

An italian developer who is trying to do a porting of honeycomb to Olipad would have the possibility to examine boot.img, is it possible to get the source code of it?

regards.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
Well, ATM, this uses the Gingerbread kernel 2.6.32.43 by pershoot... so you would find the source code in pershoot's git... though you could also check out the rayman's Honeycomb kernel though it hasn't been ported the the GTab yet..

So far tried Gtab-comb, Illuminate and finally decided this is a keeper because bluetooth works so smooth on this build. Gtab-comb BT switching is problematic, Illuminate is nice but it only detected my Rocket Fish BT stereo headset as a mono headset. Then I decided to try Flashback and viola it works like a champ with my BT stereo headset, no problem switching it on and off on the fly :)

Once they fix the camera, this bad boy will be perfect.

Thanks the Flashback team for all the hard works.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] couchmonkey:
If I wanted to switch from Illuminate to this, what would be the best way? I now know that the best way is not usually the easiest though.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlbardelljr:
The best way would be to follow the preferred installation on the first page. Although many have been successful just installing over top.

Pandora on 7.1 and some

Hi all,

does anyone have any issue with Pandora on this rom? I managed to upgrade fine from 7.0 to 7.1 following David S instruction.

I installed Pandora and it stuck on the first welcome screen (blue screen). Tried an older version of Pandora (1.3) and it works first time, but when I tried to open the 2nd time, it stuck again on the welcome screen.

Also, I notice video on CNN mobile and CNBC works fine, but USA today and CNN for tablet app can't play video. Is this app issue or some settings need to be made for this rom?

Any ideas?

Thank you for your help. It's an excellent ROM by the way!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlbardelljr:
Pandora works fine me. I have not figured out the CNN tablet. Its not even the video playback that fails it is a bango. Analytics error but I am working on it.

Hey guys. Great ROM upgrade yet again. Been a long time Flashback user and have always said this is the best Honeycomb ROM out there.

Made the upgrade to 7.1 and so far 99% smooth as butter. I do notice that my market is acting very strange though. I'm attempting to reinstall all my apps (pandora, xda premium, dropbox....etc) and when I hit install it does nothing. If I restart it'll install one...maybe. It's just very strange. Anyone seen this yet or have any suggestions?

Can I just uninstall the market and reinstall it easily or would that not even be a smart thing to try?

EDIT: Fixed it! It was Google Maps stuck in an infinite loop of updating but not doing anything. I stopped it. Restarted the tablet, and everything works fine now. Apps install perfect. Even Google Maps updated. Love this ROM!!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlbardelljr:
Glad it worked out and you like the rom . Appreciate the feedback.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErockGineer:
One more thing. I did notice this ROM doesn't have a video player and I never needed one up until now. But I'm going on vacation and I'm going to use my tablet for movies on the plane. All my movies are in AVI format. Can anyone suggest the best AVI video player or an all around video player for this ROM?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlbardelljr:
I believe either mobo player or rockplayer lite would work best.

RockPlayer
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzruby:
I was wondering why you removed MoboPlayer from the ROM?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IllusiveDreams:
Ive also been a long time Flashback user. Well ever since version 3 or something. After I upgraded to version 7.1 I did a complete wipe and installed via the directions provided in original post. However during the setup, my time stamp is off, even though I say update automatically. I set it to MST and I get a time for 6 hours earlier. Also google wouldnt authenticate, even after a redo of factory reset and wipe dalvik. Since google didnt authenticate, nothing will download from the market either.

I was very satisfied with this ROM until yesterday when I cant do anything now. Lost all my backups because I didnt realize the "set partition" did a complete wipe of data. Last thing is that Google talk wont authenticate either regardless of continuing to wipe.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlbardelljr:
I should have put it the data folder. That was my intent anyway. When I had it install a system app I couldn't get any of the forecast to install.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlbardelljr:
To fix the market if you boot into cwm and wipe data and dalvik then reboot it should.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsukaza:
So far smooth like silk, BT stereo is beautiful :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IllusiveDreams:
Ive done that several times and alls I do is go right back into the setup screen and it doesnt authenticate google services. Im redownloading the zip file and try to install again.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlbardelljr:
The other thing I have done is go into settings-applications and stop and clear data for market and both Google services frameworks. Go into market and you will get a error. Then delete your Google account and reboot, wipe data and dalvik then reboot and should be good to go after resetting up your account.

Hello all, been using flashback since the early 5.* days and was wondering if anyone else has had problems getting past the Android 3.0 boot screen? I have tried on top of the 6.0 that i had running and first experienced it. So i went in wiped all the usual suspects and rebooted. Same thing so this time i re-downloaded, reinstalled, re-wiped and tried again same thing. The last thing i just tried was the document procedures to the t with repartitioning etc and same thing. I have a friend who is experiencing the same thing as well so it has me curious why both he and i are having the issue. Are we being impatient? could the boot screen possibly take longer than 21 minutes (that's as long as I've been able to wait so far lol). Just curious for any feedback. Thanks.

Try the LBS nvflash zip to reset to stock, I have to do that to get this rom loaded.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlbardelljr:
Some users are needing to nvflash before installing. It is most likely due to the size of the system files in 7.1 and the fact we don't have a good tool for clearing data.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macbroom:
Why would anyone use the LBS Nvflash image to reset to stock. Why not use the VS image to do that. It is my understanding that it gets rid of the three crazy bird so if you need to return your device for some reason that would make it that much more of a hassle.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsukaza:
I still see my 3 crazy birds after using that nvflash zip file from LBS :)

Btw the file restore the tablet to BL 1.2 stock, am not using the other special zip file.

I'm not the dev, but the version number that I see for Flash in Titanium Backup is 10.3.185.22, which is the version released on 5/18/2011, I believe. The latest version, released yesterday, is 10.3.185.25, for reference.

As for your video question, I can't check that website because my server at work is blocking it. HQ video works in the YouTube app, but it's a little choppy. In the browser, however, the modified Flash only seems to enable simple animations, simple graphics, and small videos (like on yahoo news as the dev mentioned). Larger videos or video players won't work and HQ videos in the browser are certainly out of the question in the current version. Hopefully, we'll get a fully functioning version soon enough, but it's just not there right now. Hardware acceleration will probably also be required to flawlessly play HQ videos (e.g. see HQ video performance in Gingerbread ROMs, which have a fully functional flash, but very limited hardware acceleration).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmr405o:
Thanks for the response and checking out the version number for me.

Youtube HQ works on BOS 6.0 and Android Illuminate but not HD vids. I was told this ROM defaulted all youtube vids to SD which is why vids are so choppy.

IMO, you get the nod for the first person that can call his HC ROM a beta ROM for the gtab.

Your ROM has flash working within apps and with Opera releasing an updated browser that allows flash in the browser coupled with your stable ROM equals Beta to me. :)

Great job!

One question, why dont HD youtube vids play in full screen. I know we can't watch HD vids when we activate HQ in youtube but why can't we at least play them in SD in full screen. I'm guessing its just your preference.

Does Ant Smasher app work in full screen?

Hi, I like to flash the Flashback - Honeycomb - Alpha 7.1 onto 1 of my gtabs. It currently has the VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1, which works fine. But I am certainly loving the power of HC.

Can you please do me a favor and check for me if Ant Smasher plays in full screen on gtab? On another gtab that has GtabComb beta 3.3, AS works, but somehow the screen is very small, ~1/5 the size of the gtab screen. I love everything about GtabComb beta 3.3 (well, except the missing HD video playback :)), but have been bothered by the Ant Smasher issue, since the gtabs are primarily used by my kids.

I am hesitant to move to Flashback from VEGAn, unless AS works in full screen.

Thanks very much.

Freakin outstanding. I love this rom. I only wanted a couple of things from a custom rom for the GTab. 1) HONEYCOMB.. a must 2) Netflix 3) and most important. I have to be able to connect with my bluetooth keyboard.

So far this is the FIRST and only rom that allowed me to connect with my keyboard. PERIOD. I tried another rom that allowed me to watch Netflix, but it wasn't Honeycomb (Gingerbread is okay, but I'm on a tab, I want the full tab experience) and it didn't connect to my keyboard.

Actually, I am running GtabComb. FB and gc are very similar but gc has a slight edge - IMHO.

But the backup / flash / restore is not a lot of trouble. Nor will it take a lot of time. Check my site for more information.

The Ant Smasher application does not play in fullscreen mode on GtabComb b3.3

Most likely, it has not been tablet enabled. You should confirm with the developers.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlbardelljr:
If you have nvflashed before with Roebeets nvflash then it would not be required. The only way it would be required for 7.1 is if the system partition is still at the factory default. The system size for 7.1 is too large for the default partition size.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlbardelljr:
antsmasher does not work fullscreen in Flashback either. I agree with your assessment agapeman.

As far as differences the only ones I am really aware of are

1. Flashback has a2dp working (bluetooth audio)

2. the two use different egl libs so may see a difference in 2d 3d performance

3. the two utilize different memory settings.

4. For zpad users 3g can be enabled on flashback

I can't think of anything else at the moment. Both are very good IMO
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raywaldo:
Two great roms!

Indeed, both are really good! Thanks to both of you!!

Bluetooth audio works fine on Gc also. I have a 8xxplantrnics that works. I don't use the second earpiece so I can only assume that stereo works but it definitely sends audio to the earpiece that I use.

Did you read my comparison review? http://raywaldo.com/2011/07/gtabcomb-vs-illuminate-hc/
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlbardelljr:
I am sure it will work in stereo. I was not aware it was workingon gtabcomb but see in zyhongs changelog he did pull the libs from Flashback. Glad its working. He and I spoke a while back about BT. The great thing about the all devs here is the features. The ports we are all working from did not include any libs for a2dp. I pulled them all from a 3.1 port! Whatever works right? With all involved it is amazing at far HC has come for gtab users.
