Well, it's up, it's running, it's faster and smoother than brilliant corners...

The big, "BUT" is that I can't get google to setup my account :-/

Dolphin works fine - I can log into my gmail there, but the accounts/settings won't add a gmail account.

Asking worked before...

Thoughts? ;)

(I saw a note about a google talk not being able to verify - and needing to re-wipe data and cache - I can't do setups without the market, and can't add a gmail account - so I'm game for this, but this seems to be a different problem...)

EDIT:

After restoring the accounts from Titanium backup (apk downloaded from their site), I started getting the authentication errors. Rebooted to recovery, wiped user data, cache, and battery stats, back in the rom, and accounts are adding in seconds.

Flashback help

Thanks in Advance to all...

I've been trying to flash different ROM's on my GTAB with no success. The only ROM that's gone on without a problem was Vegan 7.0.

Most ROM's hang or boot part ways thru the load then hang. I've used options 1, 2 and 3. Is there a option 4?

I've nvflashed using the walk thru to increase the partition size and no go. Gets past the birds but stuck at the Flashback screen for flashback..and android screen for Gtabcomb.

Anyone that can tell me where I'm going wrong would be a big help..

Again I have gotten Vegan 7.0 working then tried 7.1 and no go.. did a full wipe then the enlarge partitions and nothing. I can go back to 7.0 and loads. Well now that I remember I had to go down to 1.1 bootloader to get 7.0 to work.

8.1 for 1.2bl now supports moving all of your apps to the sdcard and they don't disappear!

8.1 for 1.1bl has a changed build.prop (taken from 1.2bl), so that now it has the same functionality as the 1.2bl version.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SScorpio:
I updated to 8.1 today. I did a simple reflash with a clearing the cache and so far everything is running great.

When I would turn off the display Wifi used to cut out but so far it's stayed on for about seven hours. I also like that the internal SD storage is no longer listed as a removable device in the notification area.

Finally I don't know if it's just me, but I have setcpu overclock to 1.4Ghz, but for some reason the performance just seems snappier than 7.2 or 8.0. Overall this is a great build.

The only wish lists items I have left are for hardware acceleration which the .36, .38 kernel work will hopefully produce, and working flash without needing Opera. Otherwise this ROM is running great, and the improved interface makes it worthwhile to put up with the minor limitations.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Remember, you can always use the hacked Flash Player.apk hidden in the ROM to use with the stock browser for flash capabilities. However, I feel Opera is the best on the market in terms of performance and stability.

Actually things for reminding me, it was the official flash that worked where I had sound but no video. The hacked flash also caused the browser to crash on any page with flash.

Only Froyo ROMs fully support flash and hardware acceleration. You can get it going well on some HC and GB ROMs, but nothing compares to me like good ol' VEGAn-TAB 5.1.1 Beta, I just hate the phone interface,, plus it is a lot slower for non-GPU/flash tasks.

Stuck on first boot screen

So I flashed Flashback 8.1 yesterday. It was running great, no problems. I rebooted tonight, and it stuck on the first boot screen, wouldn't even let me boot into clockworkmod. Any ideas what would cause that? I nvflashed and re-flashed the 8.1 again and its working again. Oh, I'm also running Pershoots latest kernel.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raywaldo:
soft brick

What you experienced is called a soft-brick. You did the appropriate thing in using NVFlash to clear it and then reflash the rom.

Probably, the issue was that you (previously) had the stock (200mb) system partition. Roebeet's version of the 4349 stock image increases that to 250mb. This ROM requires the larger system partition to work properly. You probably had minimal operation with the first flash (onto the 200mb partition) but when it rebooted and all of the new apps were applied, it would not fit - ergo, soft-brick.

Hopefully, you used the right NVFlash image to enlarge the partition (it is done automatically so you would not have seen the difference). If so, you will likely not have that issue again. Also, you are now set to use practically any 1.2bl-based rom developed for the Viewsonic GTab.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
I would agree with your assessment if he was stuck at the Android Cube screen, but that would not prohibit him from booting into clockworkmod.

I have experienced this before and sometimes it just gets a little goofy and a manually restart or two will have it running smooth again. Sometimes randomly you will get a boot loop at the Android 3.0 screen. I experienced it in 7.2 and once in 8.0, but not in 8.1. If he was running the smaller system partition it would not have been running great previously, it would have frozen up and forced close a lot.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raywaldo:
Weird issue

It is a weird issue. The problem with cwm is the most troubling. How can flashback stop cwm from booting?

The only thing that makes any sense is the partition size.

BTW, I have never experienced anything similar with GtabComb.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Very troubling indeed, but an isolated incident so I think we are all okay.

I don't believe it is ROM related. Clockwork runs independently from the ROM. You can install cwm on a tablet that has no ROM installed. Partition size only affects the system partition, not the boot partition so I cannot fathom it being partition size issues.

The only other time I heard of this was when people were letting ROM manager upgrade their cwm automatically to the newest version, but as most of us know their are only two clockworkmod version that are compatible.

Long cold/re boot process

Love the rom, everything seems to work great. currently running 8.0. I'm seeing a long boot time, i saw it int he 7.x builds and dindt really think about ituntil teh other day i rebooted 8.0 and it took a solid 2:45 to get pasteh cubes, and the cycling "flashback" logo.

Is this timing normal? anyone else seeing this?

Once booted its' OC'd between 1-1.4ghz. so its pretty snappy there. Just on boot.:confused:
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Upgrade to 8.1, no wipe required. Then move all of your apps to the sdcard (now supported). Just make a titanium backup first, just in case.

Boot time will drop drastically, I timed mine at 1 minute 4 seconds. It used to be close to 4 minutes.

Lots of FCs

Got my GTab a couple of weeks back and flashed the Flashback HC rom immediately after unboxking it, via the NVFlash method. been loving the rom eversince and currently running the 8.0.

However, i've been getting a lot of force closes on all programs since the 1st version right uptil the current one.

for example, i can't listen to music while browsing cause the music app shuts off in the backgound after a couple of seconds of opening the browser. Also, the browser would close randomly if 3-4 tabs are open.

meebo / ebuddy constantly close themselves when i'm using other apps so i have to manualy start them and sign in every 5 min or so.

its not some apps that create problem but i think some memory management issue that's causing these FCs.

is anyone else also facing this problem? what's the solution?

First I want to thank the everyone who has worked on flashback. I tried v7.2 first and couple days ago installed 8.1a over the top of it without wiping anything and so far it appears to be stable and I have no issues. Great ROM.

I have experienced the same issue, although I forget which versions/ROMs. Since it is a tablet, I set my screen to time out after 30min. Because, honestly, this is not my phone and I am not worry about pocket dialing or accidentally purchasing apps. A 2 minute timeout works great on a phone, but I noticed reading some emails that the screen shows well over 2min worth of text and I was tired of the darn thing blacking out on me. I even disabled my lock screen. This should solve your disconnect issue as most USB encounters are under 30min.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junooni:
tired and frustrated :(

Tried reflashing with all the procedures from scratch. still getting too many force closes.

the weird thing is most of the apps don't even give the FC crash prompt, they just close! most frequent abrupt closures are of the browsers (tried stock, dolphin, miren & opera), music app (tried the stock and mixzing, poweramp seems more stable), meebo / ebuddy

frustrated, i tried to flash a gingerbread rom via CWM but that also gives error. i'm assuming i can't go back to GB without repartitioning, and i don't know the values to input in that case....
