This Rom is Awesome.

Thanks for everyones effort here, it works a charm.

This is my daily driver...

And for the fist time in HC...

Everything works. (exept camera).

No color banding!

GPS location works.

My Apps restore form market.

Fast responsive UI.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poymeister:
I abandoned HC a few releases ago because of the lack of flash support but with the various workarounds in place, i thought i would give it another shot. The switch to this 1.1 ROM was painless. I followed the recommended steps: from CWM, cleared data/cache/dalvik, loaded 1.1 GtabComb ROM, cleared data/cache/dalvik, and rebooted. I was a little freaked out by the amount of time it spent on the "A N D R O I D" screen but I sat on my hands and eventually HC came up.

For flash, I decided to go with the latest 10.3 with the Opera Mini browser. Works great.

For videos, RockPlayer with software decoding enabled worked for me. Videos transcoded from DVDs played perfectly. HD videos were jerky and will probably need full HW-assisted decoding if that ever happens. Streamed video from the NAS also worked well. I also loaded up Playon for the first time (which also requires an app on your PC as well) and the free content played ok. I had to play it in full screen mode however and the video quality was so-so. I was primarily interested in Playon to get access to Netflix so I will have get my free membership and try it out.

Oh -- and it was very nice to have WiFi location working for the various Google map apps.

Thanks to all the devs who have put effort into HC! I would say this is truly a Beta-level release.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonvox:
I've been scouring all the forums (fori?) for the answer to this:

I'd love to try GTabComb, but I'm currently running CM7. Do I need to reflash to Bootloader 1.1/1.2 before I flash the GTabComb ROM? It's not terribly clear in Robeet's post on bootloaders in another thread.

If I don't need to reflash the bootloader, which GTabComb ROM do I install?

I know, I know...it's a question. But a relevant one for those who wish to make the leap to this particular ROM. (Okay, me.) Thanks!

And if I need to throw this over to the General thread, let me know and I'll smuggle this post out in a shroud of darkness. I can take it. Thanks.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyhong:
you do not need to reflash the bootloader, and the installation do NOT do that as well. The point why i make this available for both BL1.1 and BL1.2 is so that you do not need to bother with the bootloader (but you do need to know which bootloader you are in now).

Assume you are using official CM7, not the one I build for BL1.2. Then you are in BL1.1 and you should download the rom for BL1.1.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonvox:
Thanks, zyhong! I'm using 7.1.0 RC1 from the official CM7 download site. So 1.1 it is. Thank you...I spent a lot of time seeking this info out. Beauty...

You don't need to reflash the bootloader. I assume that you have the 1.1 bootloader. Install the most recent ROM. I believe it is 3.1

Settings for Launcher

Which Launcher is Beta 3.1 using? I was wondering how to change some of the Launcher settings..

Thanks!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johny.mnemonic:
Hi zyhong, another vote for fixing BT. There is no need for new release just because of this, this rom is doing fine, again, so small patch will do.

And for the folks having issues with Titanium Backup, I have small recommendation. I had issues with android.vending FC even on 1.6.2, when I restored all my apps in one batch. So I then restored them in three smaller batches and it was fine. But with 2.1 the issue was much more serious and even batches of 20 apps did some damage. So after I flashed 3.1 and found the same issue as on 2.1 I decided to restore most of them manually...and guest what, no issues so far.

So either there is something wrong with market on this rom, or Titanium Backup is restoring too fast for HC market, but manually the restore works, just not in batch...

Hope it helps someone.

Flash Update and Camera Question

Just an update to my previous post about flash and this rom, Personally i had to download flash from the market and with Opera Mobile it started working on most of the sites I've visited. (After install reboot tablet)

Also I had my first random freeze, was browsing net and then switched to the Nook App and going back and forth between the two my tablet froze up and randomly the screen went black. I pressed the Power button to turn the tablet back on and everything was smooth again. Only little bug i've found but everything else is working great.

Has anyone attempted to use Tango or any video conferencing app? I know the Camera APK app is not installed but does not mean that the camera won't work with other apps?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johny.mnemonic:
Same issue here.

When gTablet is overclocked and you run something demanding that really push it hard, it usually overheats and freezes.

So for real performance gain by overclocking, we will need to do some cooling mod. But for responsiveness in general use, O/C is fine.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aasoror:
So you mean:

cracking the case open

Applying thermal past

Well I might be tempted into doing that, but thing is from my experience, the tab freezes then overheats its as if its continuously doing something. Isn't it the case that when overclocking is unstable the the CPU will overheat then freezes and temp doesn't go up any further ?!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johny.mnemonic:
Yep, something like that, maybe even adding some copper cooler, not only using paste and original cover...

It overheates more and more, because it freezes on endless loop still on that high frequency, but it is usually pretty hot even before lockup.

Unstable O/C can't cause overheating, it's vice versa, overheating is one of the causes of unstable CPU (no matter whether its OCed or not).

But high O/C usually paired with increased voltage usually cause overheating if you don't upgrade cooling according to more heat produced...and that is our case.

For short term bursts on high frequency stock cooling is adequate, but when you push it for longer time, it slowly overheats and becomes unstable or even freeze.

Dear Zyhong,

You can always edit the original post by pressing edit and then advanced. There, you can change the title of the thread and the original post all you want.

I'm anxiously awaiting for you to change the name to something else so I can post this on my beginners guide website.

Also, please don't take this the wrong way. Roebeet is right. It is best to change the name to something else so that users later on don't get confused. For those of us familiar with modding android, it's just an inconvenience when something goes wrong. For the newer users, it could result in a major panic attack.

There is nothing wrong with you modding BOS. Honeycomb Illuminate came directly from BOS. It's all for fun.

Heck, I had a panic attack the other day when I tried to do something I wasn't suppose to for testing purposes. My gtab stopped working all together for an hour.

Just got no time to think about anything else yet. I will rebrand this in next build and maybe rewrite the OP here to clarify that. Thank you all guys. Please let me know if anyone has interest in branding this.

Again, I appreciate you taking this on and, for 1.1 ROM users, it's good for them to have an option to try out a HC port without having to risk jumping. That's a good thing to have.

I had some spare time and started to create a theme out of this. Once done it it should work with BOS.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
My comment does not diminish the efforts of the OP, becuase frankly, I'm a moron and wouldn't be able to do half of what he, roebeet, linuxboxsolutions, et al, do but....

To everyone asking if it can do this, or do that, this is a mod of roebeets mod of the HC rom that's is available. It will function pretty much the exact same way, and is still an ALPHA rom. If the camera didn't work on BOS, then anything short of a miracle by zyhong will make it work, same with flash, openGL, hardware acceleration, etc.

Basically, the HC devs are more "compilers" if I understand it correctly. Roebeet and others are taking information from a rom intended for the NI Adam, and translating, tweaking, refining, adding to, subtracting from this source to create something that works on the G-Tablet. Linuxboxsolutions too an earlier version of Roebeets rom and tweaked it further. Zyhong has taken a more recent version and tweaked it to work on the 1.1 bootloader. The basic jist of my comments is that nothing will be fixed until the devs that are working on the NI Adam version fix the one they are working on. It's been said that the kernel differences would make a HUGE difference in these roms. Rahter than asking Roe, Zyhong or LBS to attempt these things, try to heavily recruit a kernel expert ot work on the .36 kernel.

That being said, I truly feel that the best thing for the HC roms is to have 1 solid version, rather than many floating around. It WILL get confusing, and really, already has.

Somebody commented that they were happy that there was finally an easy way to get it on their 1.1 G-Tab...going to 1.2 isn't rocket science, it can't be if I was able to do it.

It would be really nice if we could dombine as a community and agree on which bootloader we want to be on. There are now froyo, GB, and HC roms for both branches. I truly believe that this will creat WAY more problems than it will solve.

once again, I appreciate everything that you all do, but we need to get on the same page, here.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aasoror:
Thats exactly my point, how is freezing on an endless loop relates to overclocking ?

As you noted, it should be "running" on that high frequency, and as it runs it generates more heat which at an instance will cause a crash.

Engaging in an endless loop seems more like some kind of a bug, which might be a side effect of overclocking scheduler or something.

The reason this puzzles me is that it freezes without significant overheating then overheats afterwards, so I bootup from cold, bump it to 1.4Ghz, open a flash video (HD) it runs for 10~15 seconds then it freezes (still cold), if then I leave frozen for a while it starts getting significantly warm.

I am not sure if I am explaining this correctly, but at some point I would get an instant freeze at startup, so I rebooted tab and it froze at startup (again) and then I left it frozen for about an hour, I then noticed both heat and battery consumption (upon next reboot) during the freeze so it wasn't like it crashed, it was more like its stuck endlessly looping somewhere.

I see b2.0 used Clemsyn kernel, might try that with pimpmyGtab on b3.1 but I don't even know which version can be used with HC (GB or Froyo). ?!?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyhong:
For pershoot, I use GB kernel, for clemsyn I use Froyo. By the way, you could also edit /system/etc/script.sh to get rid of cpu scaling, etc. Just add a line "exit 0" right before "#01cpufreq_governor" or totally delete anything after that line.

Simply, there are only two major causes of endless loops, poor programming and CPU error. The latter is probably our case, but that high load causing overheating can be caused by lousy programming...

But as you describe your issue, it looks like more serious than just overclocking. Try overclocking your gTab with different rom, if you didn't do it before.

Mine usually last at least one minute or more of heavy load before lockup. Honestly I experience lockups only with flash video in HD or with browser with lot of open tabs. Even games are OK.

Using pershoots kernels and CM7 I only had deterministic freezes only one or two HD flashes and in couple of specific 3D games (and typically after 3~4 minutes of playtime) always @ 1.4Ghz and never random and it was always "run - overheat - freeze".

My gtab is one of these units with reversed partitions (where you would lose the boot logo if you booted into recovery). And I did repartition SD to 2048/0 earlier as well, I wonder if this might contribute to the problem (of locking under HC), what other possible values to try ? does anyone happen to have one of this special gtabs ? I am just wondering if 2048/0 isn't optimal for these units.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johny.mnemonic:
Yeah, the behaviour you describe under CM7 is exactly how it should be, so your HW seems OK. So its definitely SW issue.

I would try full wipe or even reformat before playing with different partition sizes.

Anyway, Good luck!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Partition sizes should not matter unless, of course, you make /data too small. After looking at the amount already used on my gTablet, I think I can get away with a small 512MB /data partition and give the rest over to /mnt/emmc.

I have one of these non-standard gtabs.

Nah, it is extremely unlikely that partition sizes or even alignments will cause any problems. Corrupt data or metadata on a partition, caused by improper shutdowns, bad RAM chips, overheating CPUs, failing SD cards, OTOH, will definitely cause problems.

We were discussing SD card partitions, and nvflash doesn't work on those devices.

And, I generally don't recommend nvflash (and I've never done it so far). I've encountered many boot loops though, and because most of the time since I'm the one who caused it, I know what's wrong and I fix it using an adb shell in CWM. For dire situations, I resort to a factory reset in CWM.
