Nice ROM (prob the best HC I've tested to this point), any idea when the camera will be working?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonvox:
I really hated to bail on GTabComb, but I pulled the trigger Thursday. I completely reflashed my GTab to BL 1.2 and went with Flashback 8.0. Gotta say, no regrets so far. HC runs great and I have the peace of mind of knowing someone will answer any problem I come across.

Thanks, Bishop, for holding down the fort for as long as you have, and you can be proud that I used your instructions for nvflashing the bootloader, so you're represented in my GTab every time it starts up!

Zyhong at least got me hooked on HC, so he's also got my thanks...wherever he may be.

I found gtabcomb 3.3 to be faster on my gtab than flashback 8.0 and the video was better on it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
That is really interesting.

Would you please post your benchmark data between the two? I have never tried GtabComb, but from others I know who have tried it, your results intrigue me.

What did you use to measure video playback performance?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astevens54:
No benchmarks, the problem I have experienced the most is running movies in MP4 format. I just use the stock player and it didn't stutter where it did with Flashbak 8.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Most of the people with Flashback 8.0 use moboplayer or rock player with the settings changed from hardware encoding to software encoding. That resolves almost all of the video playback issues.

As for overall speed, I would like to know what people are getting.

Went from Vegan-Tab 5.1.1 to GtabComb 3.3 about a week ago. Install went great thanks to ehunyadi's video on YouTube. Vegan was EXTREMELY stable. I knew that. It was a 2.2 tablet running a 2.2 ROM. After a week of using GtabComb, some problems have arisen. Market doesn't show all apps, tablet freezes and reboots when watching movies on YouTube, when I click to download an app in the market it doesn't install it right away (it will wait until the next reboot to download the app and install it), every time I start up the tablet I get a message that says something like process3dgallery force close. Anything I can do to fix these problems? I knew this ROM would be relatively unstable vs the Vegan ROM, but I didn't think I'd have problems like this. Any help would be oh so greatly appreciated.

Btw, the battery life on mine is excellent!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyhong:
since a lot of asking i will just put a short status update here:

i do not have enough time to push this rom further and i do not have plan to do some small fix for this rom at this moment. some significant effort will be needed to put on this, e.g. kernel development. and android 4.0 is expected to be out at Q4....

anyway, it is not dead but stalled and we will need to wait to see...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgc6789:
Thanks for the update!

zyhong, I kind of figured that development had been put on hold since ICS is do out shortly. I've tried other HC roms but I keep coming back to yours. Will you be doing a ICS build? I hope so. I love this ROM and would jump on board anything you do in the future.

In case I haven't said it before, thanks for this ROM. It's been my daily driver for months and I greatly appreciate the work you did on it.

Thanks for the update. My wife took my tablet away...........she must like your software! :rolleyes:
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaeljc70:
I continue to have issues with this ROM. I have reloaded several times, even going to the extreme last time of going to Stock ROM, reformatting, and meticulously doing everything (wipes, etc).

The problems I am having (they are intermittent) are:

-Tablet shuts off. Sometimes even when plugged in.

-Gmail doesn't get new mail. The refresh icon just spins. If I kill the app and clear the cache, it usually works. Sometimes I have to delete data to get it to work.

-Sometimes gets stuck on green/white Android screen. Pressing home gets me to desktop and out of it.

-Sometimes when I boot, it acts like it is the first time. I need to re-enter my google account info, etc.

Since this ROM doesn't seem to be getting anymore updates, is there another Honeycomb ROM people would recommend?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
I would recommend Flashback a8.0 - just know that the camera does not work.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaeljc70:
I am trying Flashback. After just a few hours, I still had the shutting off problem 1x. It was plugged in, so obviously not a battery problem. No one else is having this problem with Honeycomb? Could it be an app?

I also had the problem of when booting, sometimes it seems to stall at the splash screen. Clicking the home button makes it fine, but otherwise it will sit on the splash screen forever.

When I was running Vegan Ginger I never had this problem.

Could it be my bootloader? I assumed I had 1.1 and used that version. Maybe I have 1.2?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Hard to say... there is a version for both. Post the link you used.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaeljc70:
I used 1.1. I don't know what version I had though of the boatloader before loading it. Since it loaded, I assumed 1.1 was what I had. I had stock, then Vegan Ginger then this ROM.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Personally, I would make the jump to 1.2. 1.1 is okay, but the major developments are on 1.2. Plus, once you get there it is very stable and you can breath a sigh of relief knowing you are done.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
There is a way to tell which bootloader you're on--if you run pershoot's kernel. See this thread.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waltzdriod]:
Am always of fan of your informative post.PLease am hoping you could help me out make an informed chioce.Am a student amd primarily using my tablet for reading books in various txt formats. I just got a Gtab and confused b/w gtabgcomb and flashback which i should install over my stock rom. Not much fan of games as i noted in your post that flashback is mainly for gamers. Hoping for reply on what best for me between this roms and As of now which advantages each has over the other. thanks
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
From user feedback, Flashback 8.0 is the best choice. It is the fastest HC ROM on the market, especially since Pershoot's latest kernel. Since GtabComb is probably not going to have another update for a long time, I would go there.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waltzdriod]:
free & accepted.Are you on the flashback 8.0 and how stable is it over the gtabcomb. Eventhough flashback comes with supports which of 2 is more stable and better ?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Honestly, I have not used Gtab. I don't flash ROMs that are not actively supported. No offense to the dev, but this ROM just didn't get enough attention from the dev to make me feel comfortable enough to use it as a DD.

Everything that I have heard points to Flashback. Over at SlateDroid a bunch of people that were on GtabComb have jumped ship and are happier. It is not that hard to try them both. The pain is getting to a 1.2 bootloader with the correct system partition size.

I have flash many ROMs on my tablet and with exception of the camera not working, this feels like a factory issued ROM it is so fast and stable.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaeljc70:
How do I change bootloader versions?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
You need to nvflash to a stock 3588 ROM (1.1 Bootloader), search around and you will find it. Once you nvflash that, verify under settings-about tablet and the version should be 3588. From there you would then upgrade to the 1.2 bootloader via an update.zip.

Once you are done that, post back. Just know that you will need special drivers and should read a lot before jumping into it.

GtabComb vs FlashBack

I have been running FB 8.0 for about a week and TODAY I switched BACK. I continued to have weird problems with FB that I never had with GC. Namely, the Wifi disconnects and the only way back is to reboot. Also, it keeps trashing my SwiftKey X.

I have always - and still do - feel that GTabComb is the best rom out there. If it is never upgraded, it is STILL the best! When something better comes along, I will report.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raywaldo:
Compare GC & FB

I posted a comparison (with stats) here: http://raywaldo.com/2011/07/gtabcomb-vs-illuminate-hc/
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raywaldo:
Which bootloader version?

I have a guide to help you with bootloader issues (as well as most every other issue with a gtab): http://raywaldo.com/2011/01/check-bootloader-version-on-gtab-before-root/
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raywaldo:
GC vs FB

Others people may disagree but I have spent a lot of time with BOTH. I can tell you that I have switched back and forth three times and I keep going back to GTabComb 3.3. It is much more responsive, it has fewer force closes, everything works except the camera and some video.

I like that FB is still being developed. However, it STILL is not up to GTabComb 3.3 (IMHO).

Bottom line: Use my "NVFlash of dummies" to switch to 1.2bl then you can flash EITHER version. Then, you can use ClockWorkMod to backup one version, flash the other version and if you don't like it, use CWM to restore the first version.

That way, you can make your own decision.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raywaldo:
Update to 1.2

I am sorry but you are mistaken!

Updating stock 3588 to the newer update will STILL be at bootloader 1.1. You MUST NVFlash to change from one to the other. I have switched both ways several times. I have complete instructions (guides) to step even noobs through the process in less than 30 minutes.

Visit http://raywaldo.com/2011/01/check-bootloader-version-on-gtab-before-root/ to see the difference.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Thanks for that!

I am glad you used a variety of tests as quadrant (the old gold standard) is very inaccurate. I just ran quadrant and scored a 2100. I rebooted and scored a 2714. I then killed all active apps and got a 2304. I wonder what it would do if I held it up-side-down while I clucked like a chicken? I do like your analysis. You managed to be very objective in your write-up. Great work! I really hope you can keep this going for future ROMs/updates. We need more people like you giving people better opinions about which ROM to choose based on fact, not opinion.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raywaldo:
I apologize

I am sorry. It appears that I was wrong. I thought you referred to the ota upgrade to 3588 - which does NOT change the boot loader version.

Even so, this process still leaves the system partition at 200mb and not able to support some larger roms, such as Flashback.

The fact that nvflash is faster and better - added to the fact that this process will lead to problems with some roms should be sufficient for knowledgeable people to never suggest it!

What you talkin bout Willis?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Yes, but this is not the Flashback thread. A 200MB system partition is sufficient for GtabComb which is why I suggested it. Especially for someone without any nvflash knowledge, in this instance is the better choice.

I think it is harsh to imply that I am not knowledgeable. We don't throw sand here. It is about education and helping others. I would appreciate it if you watched your tone.

Reparation applied?

I just got my Gtablet and on the process of trying to wipe the system of factory setting and data which i did more than once through the Clockword mode i wiped out all data on my root and couldnt install the gtabcomb and was stuck with the three birds after installation when i try to reboot will see a message *recovery mode detected with a second line also that says something about kernel too* from there i was automatically taken back again into clockworld mode. After several trials i did an Nvflash back to stock 1.2 (4389) and was able to now sucessfully run the gtabcomb which am currently using. I wanted to know if the reparation i tried to do before i lost all my data in the root still applicable or do i need to do a new reparation as i have nvflashed into a new stock 1.2 (4389)? hoping for a reply community
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Not knowing what other steps you took, my suggestion would be to navigate to Settings-Storage and the top storage (USB storage) should show a total of 13.07 GB or something like that. Remember, the internal memory is 16GB, but not a true 16GB. It is usually a bit less. Then subtract the partition setups for the ROM and then 2GB from the manual partition you setup and you are left with a bit over 13GB.

If you see that number (or close to it), you are fine.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waltzdriod]:

Acoording to what i read in the development page the speed for this Gtabcomb is overclocked to 1.4ghz. In your own opinion do you think i should get a setcpu client and maybe downgrade to b/w 300mhz-1.2ghz to be able to full utilize battery and avoid hanging or force closes after heavy use. If i should Which of the step cpu client is the best for me to download. Thanks Again Trek
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Well... CPUMaster is free from the market and will get the job done. I personally use SetCPU, as I paid for it years ago with my DROID and it allows me to install it for free on my tablet. I would recommend running at 1400Mhz. I have been running at 1400 since I first rooted my tablet. However, there have been few reports of the sleep of death or app hangs that were resolved by switching from 1400 to 1200. My suggestion would be to start at 1400 and if it feels wonky, lower it to 1200 and see. My guess is that you will be fine.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] looking335:
Well, there have been so many new releases, my poor Gtab's feeling dizzy--one minute, Froyo, another Gingerbread, and another HC. I love the new VEGAn-Tab release by gojimi (working camera = happy me) but Market would go all weird and tell me every app/game was not compatible with my device and I, too, was hooked on HC, even with no camera. I've been running Flashback's latest 8.1 and have to say this is the most stable HC release and the ROM has a nice smooth feel too it (overclocked at 1.4). The tablet seems very responsive over previous releases and previous HC ROMs. Outside of this release, other HC releases would result in an unexpected freeze. When I rebooted, I'd get stuck at the 3 birds. I would not be able to access recovery. Only choice was to use nvflash. Twice I was on a trip and had this happen. With no access to my home computer (i.e. nvflash), the Gtab became nothing more than a paperweight and slight embarrassment. (With fingers crossed) So far 8.1 has been holding up really well. I've had a couple of freezes but, thankfully, a reboot gets me back. So, I can live with that. Wi-fi has been pretty solid too.

Live wallpapers freezing G-Tab?

Just loaded this ROM last night and I absolutely love it. However, if I am running a live wallpaper such as Blue Skies and have to reboot, the whole thing freezes as soon as it restarts. If I'm lucky, I can sometimes get the wallpaper changed as soon as I get to the home page and then all is good. I haven't tested this issue with any other live wallpaper since it's such a pain to try and beat the freezing. Has anyone else run into this? I did a full wipe and partition before installing and am using a 1.2 bootloader. Also, if I can't beat the freezing and get the wallpaper changed (like right now!), is there any way to remove the wallpaper without booting it up (APX mode or something?).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aasoror:
Is there any way to send the tablet to sleep with GtabComb ?

Unless I am doing something wrong I notice that the tab is always on (can tell from the email notifications, market updates .. etc).

It lasts for about 24 hours with moderate usage this way, I remember CM7 didn't have this problem.

BTW my wifi sleep policy isn't set to "always on", its whatever the default it.

Lightly tap the power button. It should goes to sleep mode
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johny.mnemonic:
I think he knows about this, but he complains that even when you press this button and screen goes black, tablet is still alive, receiving emails and giving notifications. That's probably because Android is phone OS and phone should not go to full sleep untill you completely turn it of.

I would also like to see a way to put this to full sleep or to hibernation. It would be handy to put it to hibernation before going to bed and than wake it after 16 hours or even few days with same battery level...

In current "sleep" state it is draining something like 1% of battery per hour.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
How about setting it to turn off when the screen turns off?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvduchovny:
Is it all live wallpaper or just that one? I've been using Koi with no issues at all. Try going into Clockwork Mod and fix permissions. And if that doesn't help see if you can delete Blue Skies by going into Settings->Manage Applications, look for Blue Skies and delete it there.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
"whatever the default is" == God knows what it is.

Better to set one explicitly. Set the WiFi to go off when the screen does. Also set the "End button behaviour" in the Spare parts app to something specific. With these settings, my gTab goes into a deep sleep mode where user processes are suspended and it loses about .85% battery charge per hour; and its woken up after almost 4 days in this state.

If you experience any SOD problems, just raise the min CPU freq.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul1965:
I haven't tried any other live wallpapers since it's such a pain if it freezes up and forces a reboot. And now quite frankly I'm not sure what's going on. I just reactivated Blue Skies as the wallpaper (after fixing permissions last night). I rebooted it watched it restart a 2nd time without me telling it to. Once it had restarted, I was prompted to enter my info just like it was a brand new install. I had to select Start, then set my time zone, date and time, then is asked me to sign into my Google account to do a data restore. I skipped that part and went right to my home screen, luckily all my apps appear to still be there. This is the 4th time I've rebooted the G-Tab today, but the first time it appears to have reset itself. I just rebooted a 5th time with the Blue Skies wallpaper still active and all seems well (so far). I guess we'll see what happens!

How many reflahses?

I hate to make back to back posts, but how many times have others had to reflash this ROM? Tonight it hung trying to use the Kobo app (installed and used last night with no issues) to the point it wouldn't get past the Android screens. I did a cache wipe and tried a reboot but nothing worked, it just kept hanging so I had no choice but to flash again. This will be my third flash in as many days. Is this ROM that unstable or is it just me?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Zyhong is going to release an update, but no one knows when. What we do know is that it won't be for quite a while. If you are having that many issues, why not try a different ROM. Check out Flashback and let me know what you think:
