My 10.1 experience

I noticed the 10.1 update this morning and I happened to have both my g-tabs home. I ran titanium backup then a clockwork mod backup. Then I renamed the old update file and copied the new one onto the sd card. Finally I wiped the cache and dalvikcache. Then applied the update. Nice new boot animation - very professional looking. Rinse and repeat for the second tab. Both are running beautifully. These were both upgrades from 10.0. This is definately the ROM that sets the standard on the g-tab! Keep up the great work! And ... THANKS!

I just happened to notice this and then I went poking in the manage applications to see the tab labeled usb storage. A couple of my apps had checkboxes so I went through and checked them all to see what happens. It is hard to tell because I am using the new 10.1 ROM but the tablet is certainly zippy and the boot up time doesn't seem terribly long. What I am curious about is the USB storage. As far as I know, I don't have any USB storage so where is it moving things to? Is USB another way to reference the sd card? If so, it is the first time I've heard of it. Someone who knows - please enlighten me. Thanks.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
The 2048 partition is where apps install natively, if you select move to USB Storage it will migrate the app data to the internal sdcard (14GB~ Partition).

Switch rom

Problem: almost all Froyo roms are on the 1.1bl branch while FB is on the 1.2bl branch. Also, fb requires the system partition to be 250meg - which is not used with the 1.1bl branch.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianafischer:
Ray,

That is exactly why I wanted to know if there was a method to image the tablet via NVFLASH. NVFLASH is the tool used to change from a 1.1 to 1.2 boot loader so it would be the only way to switch between "images" of the tablet.

My attempts to do this have been unsuccessful and have resulted in a "soft brick" of the tablet.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
There is no good way to do this. There are too many items that would need to be backed up and restored beyond the scope of nvflash. I can't put my hand on the thread right now, but I will keep an eye out.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma0456:
I suspected as much but why is it labeled USB - just semantics I know but why not SD or something that doesn't have any significance? Isn't USB kind of misleading considering that there is actually a USB port on the G-tab?

I am running the flashback 10.0. I did the upgrade to 10.1, but went back to 10.0 once I found that the music apk was removed from the 10.1. Take a look at the change log for 10.1 a number of apk's were removed. I like 10.0 it is stable and works well.

Anything on the camera apk?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
You could have just redownloaded the music app from the market instead of rolling back an entire ROM.

No word on the camera, yet.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blingham:
Just wanted to post that I got this up and running on my Gtablet yesterday evening. I had used previous versions, but ended up with the "sleep of death" I think they call it... anyway, I didn't do too much research on the SOD, and ended up going back to a 2.3 rom. It just wasn't the same though... so, when I saw there was a new version of Flashback (10.1), I jumped on it.

Here's what I did:

I NVFlashed back to a 1.2

Cleared every cache, and data possible in CWM (including Factory, Dalvic, Cache partition etc..)

Mounted USB via CWM, and copied the update.zip to my root

Flashed update.zip

Cleared every cache, and data possible in CWM AGAIN

Reboost

Enjoy!

I did have an issue where the first few attempts at logging in my Google account failed to contact the server. I powered off/on, and then tried again and it was successful first time.

All 3908734 of my apps downloaded, and installed as part of the restore process from Google, then I processed 2098309 more updates... but now, its perfect.

As for the SOD, I found one tip last night that suggested tapping the power button, wait 2 seconds, and then tap again, or tapping the volume up/down buttons, and then the power button. I find that if I use a combination of those, I can usually "gingerly" wake up the tab :)

Thanks for an awesome ROM, and for the continued development on this tablet.

Good luck to everyone else.

Please see this thread for SOD issues:

http://tinyurl.com/3jcx2sn

It may be a simple kernel swap that is needed.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blingham:
Excellent, thanks so much. Can't wait to get home and start kernel-flashing ;) I want to look into OC as well, so is there a particular kernel that is recommended to try first?

Thanks,

Jay
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Yes, use the kernel that does not cause SOD issues for you. It is unique for each person. ;)

Pershoots kernel is capable of 1400MHz

Clemsyn's is capable of 1600MHz

SetCPU is a paid app and does it all.

CPUMaster is free, but less configurable.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blingham:
Ok, so what I'm hearing is... shoot for Clemsyn's, and if the SOD reoccurs, go for Pershoots ;) I like speed...

Thanks for all of your help.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blingham:
I prefer to call it... helpful :)

Now I just need to decipher that link you posted, as its not overly obvious which one to use. Trial, Trial with USB, Trial 2, 3, 4, 13, 25, 42... and they all seem to be only Clemsyn's. I suppose if I have a question regarding how/which one to use, I shoud read through the entire thread, and post over there then eh? ;)

Jay
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
I would suggest reading through it (skim it) and see if some had a problem like your which was resolved. In the mean time, start with this kernel:

Is anyone having a problem with the new version of Google Music (4.09) that was released today on Flashback 10.1? It force closes immediately every time I try to open it. And I get repeated FC messages from the service too.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
I just tested it and all is well. Perhaps a permission fix in clockwork will resolve your issue.

I updated from 10.0 to 10.1 by simply wiping dalvik, clearing cache partition and installing update from SD card and it worked flawlessly. I definitely feel 10.1 is more responsive but may be in part to clearing cache as well. So far no issues and wanted to report erything works flawlessly without having to nvflash.

Upgrade from 8.1 to 10.1 on Viewsonic G Tablet and performance much slower. More like wait states as there's been no instability.

1. Used method 2. Then re-installed apps with TBP (no system apps re-installed, most re-installed w/o date, a few with data).

2. Market would not initially download updates so tried Market Fix (didn't work) theen eventually deleted Google account, signed back in and market worked without incident.

3. Previous NVFlash from 1.1 to 1.2 base a while back having run Froyo, GB, CM7, BOS previously.

4. OC with CPU Master at 1.4 GHz using bundled Pershoot kernel. Still slow.

5. Tried SetCPU but that did not OC.

6. OC with CPU Master at 1.6 GHz after flashing Clemsyn kernel. Still slow.

7. Numberous reboots withe cache, Dalvik wipes and Permissions reset without improvment.

My next step is to go back to NVFlash and reinstall build 4349, then repeat Method 2. Perhaps there exists some clutter than Method 2 did not resolve.

Also, this time I will not use TBP to re-install apps but let the Market do it.

I see very few messages here or that other forum with persistent slow performance as there theme. What have I overlooked? Something to be sure.

TIA for suggestions or comments.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Depending on the version of nvflash you used, you may be on a 1.2 bootloader with the old 200MB system partition. This would explain a lot of what you are experiencing.

Use this nvflash which is configured with the larger 250MB system partition:

http://www.mediafire.com/?cnhve8krrh0u469

Then perform option 2 and then install the ROM.

Please post back your results. Also, let the tablet sit for about 15min after the initial install when you link your google account, reboot, restore your apps, perform the market fix, reboot, enjoy!

I went from 8.0 to 10.1 without clearing any cache, etc. Just rebooted into CWM and installed from the zip. I have no performance issues at all. My only issue is that flash still sucks!!! (at least on the SiriusXM site; only browser that works even remotely is Opera)

Otherwise AWESOME job Team Flashback!!

Bookmarks sync

OK plz for the love of god help me before i smash my tablet...

the first time i installed flashback the sync chrome bookmarks worked. since 3.0 they have not. BUT it seems at that point everyone was having that problem (even with stock honeycomb devices, ie Xoom). then people were getting them working and for some reason i cannot. i have done EVERYTHING! i have factory reset my gtab, i have deleted my sync from the dashboard, i have cleared the data from the browser in honeycomb. i have even gone as far as deleting all my bookmarks (backed them up first) reset my tablet, and synced with chrome again without bookmarks imported, and tried just adding a new bookmark to see if it would sync. NO LUCK!

now usually when you go into the browser settings and click sync bookmarks with google account you gain a sync option in accounts & sync setting in you google account that allows you to toggle sync for the browser. that does not show up at all even after a restart and multiple syncs.

This is extremely frustrating because i use my bookmarks on a regular basis. i have less than 100 so i know its not that bug (even if it was some of them would have sync with my tab) i have been searching google for a few months now for a solution with no luck :mad:

now i know what you are thinking, "why dont you just manually put in the bookmarks instead of wasting time searching for a fix?" well with a constantly updating rom i have to do factory resets every once and a while. now this would be fine if it would actually sync or even have the ability to manually import from an HTML file but that is not even an option.

Sorry for the rambling but im trying to get as much info out as possible. ANY and i mean ANY help would be awesome.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cranky_dan:
projectzro: I'm right there with you. I spent a frustrating week trying to sync bookmarks. I have a workaround, and I hope it's okay for you. I have 900 bookmarks.

1) Export your desktop bookmarks to an html file. I used Kompozer to "tidy up" the html so it's readable and tidy.

2) add it to your sdcard using your favorite method.

3) on the tablet homescreen, click the plus sign in the upper right. This will take you to a page that has a representation of the 5 desktop screens, the words "widgets, app shortcuts, wallpapers, more" under the 5 mini screens, and widget stuff below that. touch "more."

4) touch filemanager hd.

5) in the popup, find and select the bookmarks.html file to place a check in the box beside the filename, then touch "create" at the top of the popup. Name the shortcut and touch ok.

6) touch the shortcut on your desktop - the one you just made. Filemanagerhd will ask what app you'd like to open it with. Select your browser of choice and make sure the "always do it like this" box is checked.

7) your browser opens to your html page of links. if you touch a link it'll open the webpage.

Optional final step: when your page of links opens, longpress the url (file:///mnt/scard/...) and copy the URL. go to the menu of your browser and paste the url as a new bookmark.

It's not perfect, but it works for me.

(I think a dev needs to see this need and create a good browser management app.)

Good luck!

Home Wifi Connect Problem

Like the ROM, but for some reason it won't connect to my home network (Verizon). I can connect at work (also Verizon, but a Netgear Router and an peer to peer network), or use my Droid Charge with Open Garden and it connects fine?? I tried downgrading the WiFi blobs but that didn't help. Any suggestions? Is it a windows home network security problem? Thanks in advance.

Edit: Okay, the problem seems to be in using Open Garden to wirelessly tether. Forced closed it, and rebooted the home router and both the gtab and phone connected. Not sure why using a tethering application would cause that. Anyone else using Open Garden and experiencing this?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belmichel:
Great ROM. Smooth install, smooth running after 12 hours of installing/restoring.

Running lower in RAM (70-80mb) than C&B's Froyo with similar apps setup but still plenty to run smoothly.

Inquiries:

1. Still looking for display config/settings (# rows and # lines, etc)

2. Adhoc not working :( (Only Vegan 7.1 has worked for me so far) Using Wmwifirouter.

3. Read that the 1.6 OC kernel works for some. Any benchmarks avail on results? (curious if worth a shot)

Thanks for the great work.

System Partition

Yes, thanks.

I had previously increased the system partition from 200M to 230M per roebeet, but in any event using your supplied 1.2 base (same as tib's OP) I repeated NV Flash as planned. With TnT performance seemed as expected BUT the contents of the internal SD card remained. Odd as I had re-partitioned and wiped.

NEW QUESTION: Is it necessary for reformat the internal SD card with CWM? I have not seen this explicitedly stated as best I recall. I thought the repartition would wipe this, but evidently it does not.

Nonetheless I then repeated the re-partition (this time the SD card contents was indeed gone), applied the 10.1 update, wiped and rebooted. At stock 1GHz speed performance was good. Added CPU Master and OC to 1.4GHz. Seems fine still. I will next go to Clemsyn's kernel and OC to 1.6GHz.

I guess somehow my system partition must have been reset to 200MB. How I'm not sure at this time.

Thanks for your help and to all for a great rom. I await the transition to ICS and hopefully (but not certain) hardware acceleration rsn!

Newbie is confused about update process

I installed Flashback 9 on my Gtab about 6 weeks ago and have had a few lags, but no major problems. Reading everything online, it looks like 10 or 10.1 would be a little better.

In order to upgrade to 10, do i have to go trough all the wipe/reset/flash issues, or there a simple way to update newer versions of the same ram. I get tired of starting over and reloading apps again and again.

I used the guide on ray waldos site to get this far, but he didnt really answer my question about updating on the same rom.

If the answer was in these 100+ pages, I missed it.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Mount your tablet via USB mass storage to your PC

Put the update.zip on the sdcard.

Charge till the tablet charge light is green and leave plugged in.

Reboot tablet, after tablet turns off hold the vol + button until you see words appear in the top left hand corner of the 3 birds screen.

Clear cache from the main page

Go to advanced and clear Dalvik

Go back to the main page and select install update.zip

After it flashes, reboot system, not recovery.
