Thank you for your quick response. I tried your recommendation and it did not work. I tried wiping data and factory reset and dalvik cache, that did not work. I nvflashed back to stock rom, then flashed it again and that did not work.

Do I maybe need to do something with my google account?

The only peculiar thing I noticed is that when I go through setup, enter my main account, it sends me back to login. I enter it again and it tells me it already exists. So then I enter another google account I have, and then it asked me what I wanted to sync. I didn't go any further than that.

The second time it asks for your login hit cancel and then the "hard" back button until you end up at the main screen.I hope this works.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErockGineer:
Hey guys, new to the Flashback ROM as of two days ago and all I can say is WOW!! I mean, heck it wasn't but two months ago we were dreaming of a stable Honeycomb ROM for the Gtab and here it is.....AMAZING job to all the devs and whomever worked on this. Donations forth coming on payday.

But I do have a few questions regarding this. Hopefully my fellow flashbackers can assist. For me, the biggest thing is storage accessibility. I can live with minor flash issues and I'll watch Netflix on my TV, those are just minor inconveniences to me. But I'm someone who relies heavily on my tablet as my Lab computer and it contains thousands of published papers that I readily access, not to mention having the ability to store onto and pull from quickly.

Now I have my internal 16GB storage partitioned to 13-14GB and 2GB (believe thats from VeganFroyo back in the day) and I have an 8GB MicroSD card as well. Now I notice the two SD card symbols in my tray, the one labeled "SD" comes on and off when I put in and take out my 8GB MicroSD card....and the other is labeled "MicroSD" which seems to be my internal 13-14GB partition. If you ask me it seems backwards, but whatever its just a name.

Now it seems you can't access either of those storages from those icons, they are just there to "Eject" them, the folder icon inside the main SD card icon doesn't do anything. And when I go into settings, and then Storage, I see it listed strangely. It says:

"USB Storage" Total = 13GB Available = 11.6GB

"Internal Storage" Total = 1.88GB, Media = 1.48GB, Applications = -1289412608B, Available = 1.6GB

"MicroSD" Total = 13GB Available = 11.6GB

"SD" Total = 7.41GB Available = 7.41GB

I'm trying to figure out what partitions on what category store my information. I'm guessing the "internal storage" is where the main parts of the OS are, and the 13GB "MicroSD" partition is essentially my internal hardrive, and my "SD" is essentially my external microsd card I have inserted.

However, Nowhere can I quickly access the information on the SD card.....or I haven't figured out how to do so.

Can anyone shine some light on this subject for me.....it would greatly improve my productivity with my tablet and would be greatly appreciated.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzruby:
If your asking how to access the FILES on your SDCard (Internal/External) you need to use a file manager.

The ROM comes with one or you could use an alternate:

ES File Explorer will default (browse) to Internal SDCard which is located at the root of the ROM, i.e. /sdcard and also /mnt/sdcard

Your External SDCard will be at /external_sdcard and also /mnt/external_sdcard

Another alternate File Manager:

Root Explorer will default (browse) to the root of the ROM, i.e. /

vAnyone know how to deactivate the capacitive buttons? With HC, they're entirely unnecessarily and cause more problems than they're worth. I tried button remapper (older version), but just installing it causes the screen off function of the power button to fail.

Just switched to 1.2bl to try this rom out and have a few questions...

Is the keyboard autocorrect supposed to work? Doesnt work for me.

Can you switch back to Gingerbread keyboard?

Any fix to get spare parts battery history to work? Just FCs.

Any reason for terrible screen off battery life? I lost 40% in 8 hours... cant check wakelocks as spare parts crashes.

Do all HC roms run this high dpi?

Any fix to get root explorer working? Just FCs on startup...

Otherwise loving the rom. HC is such a huge improvement, it really kicks ass!!

getting frustrated that after playing fieldrunners for a while when I exit it seems to hang, I can open settings but nothing comes up, last apps also but can't change to anything. Have to power off to get the tab back, then fieldrunners is uninstalled. Typically I wouldn't care but that game takes a while to load.

nicker22004, my capacitive buttons don't light up at all using this rom. ambient light sensor auto screen dim doesn't seem to work either.

tlbardelljr , thanks for this rom its pretty sweet. I had one question, is there anyway that we could fine tune the touch responsiveness? maybe we're simply limited, but when i'm typing, it only will read my fingers if i type slowly, not when i type fast. if i type fast, i have to type very hard for finger touches to register. not sure if anybody else has any concerns with this. maybe there is a market app to generically fine tune this?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warboy:
i just installed 5.5 and it runs solid but the wifi is slow as hell
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
The capacitive buttons aren't backlit (on the gtab at least, maybe they are on other malata zpads), so they shouldn't light up regardless of whatever ROM you're on.

You can use the app from this post to calibrate your touch screen, which might improve things a bit, but the unresponsiveness is inherent to the hardware; the touch screen just isn't that sensitive, especially compared to some more expensive tablets.

Just loaded 5.5 as well and the wifis are running a bit slowly for me too. But the wireless connection at my work is notoriously bad, so hopefully it'll be faster when I get home.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyperxguy:
Did you mean it's slower than v5.4 ?

(I had v5.4 side-by-side with my Asus Transformer, and the GTab's wifi is just slower getting data).

Install Qurstion

Hi all,

sorry for the noob question. I have my gtab reset back to stock with BL 1.2 to prep it for this HC rom, from Vegan Ginger, following the instruction from the link below:

http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/171...-using-either-11-or-12-based-images-g-tablet/

When I reboot into recovery, I have the Android system recovery <3e>, which I believe it's the equivalent to the ClockWorkmod. I'm trying to install ClockWorkmod and currently hang under installing update...

When I chose reboot - it just hang on the picture of screwdriver and wrench. I tried to go back to reboot into recovery and now it just hang on Booting Recovery Kernel image...:mad:

My issue is that I can't reboot into recovery now. Although the stock rom can still boot up fine.

Can anyone please point me to the right direction?

Thank you very much.

UPDATE: So, I re-nvflash my gtab and I can get back to recovery. After further reading the link below, it looks like I shouldn't be using clockworkmod to install this.:o

http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/17049-guide-to-installing-clockworkmod-cwm-on-the-g-tablet-g

Can someone verify how long does it take to perform the install? I would assume you just pick install from update.zip from sdcard option under Android system recovery <3e>. Ofcourse having the update.zip from OP in the root of my sd card.

Thanks!!!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warboy:
Compare to other roms in general. (Like cyanogen and other honeycomb roms.)

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtabman:
Thank you for the confirmation. I think I must've missed a step. Mine is taking more than 20 minutes and it's still stuck on the wrench and screwdriver pic...

Any other suggestion? Should I go back to 1.1, repartition again, and upgrade the bl to 1.2? I don't think it should be this complicated, but I'm confuse now how to proceed.

Thank you again.

I just installed the latest Chrome browser on my PC and they have a "Chrome Store" with browser-based versions of Angry Birds and PvZ.:D

Why the hell is there not a version of Chrome for Android? Or is there?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
The stock browser is the version of Chrome for Android. It's just not the full desktop version of Chrome; however, the HC version is a lot closer to the desktop version than the Gingerbread or Froyo ones. The Chrome Store was built to work on computers running desktop OS's (windows, mac, etc.), which is why it probably won't work on Android. I'm pretty sure the Chrome Store was made as a desktop complement to the Android Market, not a replacement for it.

Very good ROM!, I just have an issue about the battery performance, with other ROMs I get about 11 or 12 hours, and with it I just get 9 or 10, about 2 hour less. not a big deal but I use my tab a lot some days.

Could be something with the governor?, or is just me with this issue?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob_z11:
You could actually remove Phone.apk, mms.apk and Telephoneyprovider. apk from system/app folder once you mount system folder read/write.

That has improved my battery life much better. You will get FCS once you remove Phone.apk, but just reload it, and then remove mms and other apk.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitekredneck:
Be sure to keep in mind that removing these APK's will cause breakage of using a bt headset with this ROM. Bluetooth calls on these for communications between the tablet and headset. Phone and Telephonyprovider APK's should be kept, but I'm not sure about the MMS, I just left it in there to be safe. I finally have a stable ROM with bluetooth headset functionality and do not want to screw it up.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
Today, I decided to try a HC rom for hte first time. I had never had anything other than Froyo. I wanted to see how impressive these things are, and what all the hubbub was about.

Installation from stock 4349 was a breeze, no issues to report, everythign went smooth as silk. The UI was also VERY smooth. No choppiness. Market gave me some fits at first. For some reason, I needed to update my account information as my credit card kept getting declined, for some reason when trying to get a paid app. I put in the same exact CC info, and it worked (weird). Once that was taken care of, I could download and install apps fine.

Since I use my Gtab for watchign movies, I tried to load one, but it wouldn't play on stock movie player. I tried Rockplayer, and my Xvid AVI files played fine, no issues there, for me.

Started doing batch restores from TB, which took forever (not because of the rom, but becuase of the volume being restored.

Tried out Angry Birds, so that the wife had something to play, and it worked fine, but then, when it closed, the screen went blank. I could still select the soft buttons at the bottom, as well as the notification area, but couldn't getmyself to "see" anythign I selected. Rebooted, and tried Fieldrunner (bsed on previous posts, wanted to see if it worked) It worked fine, but then, when closing, it did the same thing as Angry Birds. Rebooted again. Some games worked fine (Riptide, Mahjongg) but others would have the same annoying closing errors (Bubble Popper, Cut The Rope)

I decided to go back to Froyo (I wasn't expecting a miracle, so it wasn't a big issue) These closing problems don't bother me, but my wife will FREAK if it doesn't work exactly how it's supposed to.

It was worth a try, but I'm satisfied with my Froyo rom, right now (Calkulin/Clemsyn)

Once this thing becomes bulletproof, what with the rumors heard today, I might take another look at it.

Thanks for the work, just having the dream that these things will be possible is what keeps a lot of us going. Keep it up!!!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mydave1:
@TJEvans, your first impression with gtablet HC rom is not a surprise and is shared by many, myself included. The rom seemed to behave differently to different tablet. Yours is with some apps' closing; mine is with the intial setup for market download (mine is still at 5.4). Others had FC, or Lock-up, or even long shutdown, etc . . . What I found with HC alpha, regardless of version or make, is to give it plenty of time to adjust itself in a new environment. This is a good practice to have HC running smoothly.

One of the hurdles of getting HC to the robust stage is due to the lack of a proper kernel, as a well regarded person has stated : "Right now things are kind of whacky due to a lack of a proper kernel. This leads to hardware that doesn't work and stability issue with some applications. Fixing the kernel will resolve those issues and make it easier to update to newer builds in the future." The quote is from Rayman's post in tabletroms.

My preference is Froyo as well. After playing around with Flashback and GtabComb, I began to understand why a great many users love them and are excited about them. Perhaps I became one of them as well. If you are up to it, perhaps give GtabCom and test, then back to Flashback. The issues that you encountered may or may not be the same.

I thought that I share with you, and others, a different perspective about Flashback, as I always enjoyed reading your posts.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defacto:
I use this tablet equally for work and play. I use it to take notes in meetings via evernote. I also use it for media web browsing and games for personal use. I have to say i have never used the stock rom. when i got the tablet the stock rom was so bad that its amazing that anyone would buy the device. I loaded Vegan Ginger and used that for months with no issues. my movies worked great the only downside of that rom was that there was no HW accel so playing .mkv files was out of the question. Now i have loaded flashback and Gtabcomb. at first with the HC build it didnt have bluetooth working which severely affected my notes at work as i use a BT keyboard. but i held out for a week with it and now there is BT working fine.. right now I am on Gtabcomb and everything i had working in Vegan is working now just fine. My market works perfectly.. my games close with no issue.. and yes i have angry birds. So I believe this is just a matter of how it can act differently from tab to tab. I made sure i wiped cache reset wiped dalvik and then did it all again for good measure.. one thing i have found is that if you dont do this... you will be prone to 'little' issues like FC's and stuff that you might not think was due to a lack of cache wipe.

I am loving HC and it flows so much better than froyo or ginger.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usarmyaircav:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qkster:
I haven't tried it because my gallery works very well. I just had to open gallery, clear data and force stop and reboot. Repeat once again. Haven't had an issue yet.

That said, if you wanted to remove gallery, try Titanium Back up - i believe you can delete an app there.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzruby:
Gallery is a system app and cannot be uninstalled with 'Settings' but you can uninstall with TitaniumBackup.

Before you uninstall why not give this a shot:

Settings > Applications | All | Gallery > Clear cache & Clear data

Go to Internal [ sdcard/Android/data ] - Delete > com.android.gallery3d - (cache folder)

Reboot; you may or may not get a force close the first time (from clearing data and cache)

Please, report back with success/failure.

Re: Gallery FC's

Coming from FlashBack 5.4, I wiped data cache and Dalvik, fixed permissions, then ran the update for 5.5, repeated wipes and permissions fix, then rebooted. After system came up and sat for awhile, I did a full power off and then, booted it again. It runs as smooth as silk!

I have never used Gallery, but tried it out just to see if it worked -- no problem. It did FC when I tapped the camera icon, but, since we all know the camera is still not working -- so, of course, duh!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzruby:
You are using the Stock recovery not ClockworkMod recovery.

Flashback no longer installs CWM recovery, i.e. it leaves your gTab with whatever recovery you have at the time of flashing.

The binaries for both Stock and CWM, along with 2 shell scripts to flash recovery are now copied to your gTab so you can flash (at will) between the two of them.

Run Terminal Emulator (app) and type the following:

$ su - (become Superuser)

# cwmrecovery.sh - (installs ClockworkMod recovery)

# fixrecovery.sh - (installs Stock recovery)

After you run 1 of the recovery commands, reboot.

ClockworkMod has the extra options but pay special attention to 'Reboot system' and not 'Reboot recovery' (nested under 'Advanced') after wiping Dalvik cache.

DO NOT REBOOT RECOVERY in ClockworkMod REBOOT SYSTEM
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtabman:
Thank you very much for the detail instructions jazzruby!
