[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul1965:
I've had my G-Tab for about a month now and this is my 4th or 5th ROM. I hate the interface of the Gingerbread ROMS as I can't stand to have phone apps on a tablet that doesn't make calls. I really like the look of Honeycomb, and came to this ROM from Illuminate. While I liked Illuminate, I didn't like the lack of Bluetooth and didn't care for the speed and overall "buggieness" of it. I think this ROM has some very solid potential so am willing to stick with it; I'm just curious if I'm the only one having these types of major issues.

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

So I just got done reflashing again and decided to try the bubbles live wallpaper. Guess what? It hung within 5 minutes, and I can't even get it to boot up now. I'm doing yet another flash! I have really come to like the speed of this ROM, but if I have to keep wiping and flashing it's not worth it. Given the amount of positive posts, I'm wondering if I don't just have a crappy G-Tab? And thanks for pointing me to Flashback, I guess I missed that ROM when Googling. If this last flash doesn't work I'll give it a try.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aasoror:
Well I already do that, thanks for your reply though :)

True, thats exactly what I meant

You mean wifi ? Just did that and will report back.

I feel so stupid now, the default is "always on" :o

Must have mistaken this default with the default from earlier GtabComb.

I have done the changes and will report back

Thank you guys for all the replies.

Time Zone

Everytime I boot up my tablet on this rom the timezone defaults back to 3 hours ahead. I've seached this thread for the reason couldn't find it. Does anyone else have this issue or know how to remedy it?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mic31:
I think this not common. Now I have the 3.3 version and I did the update without wipe, etc from 3.2. The only modding from the original is the CPU speed, with the app setcpu at 216 min and 1000 Max because I don't need the extra power, after that i have no harm or some other problem! !
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raywaldo:
Reflash?

This is certainly NOT normal. I have used gtabcomb for the past couple of months with no problems. Your issues are likely the result of partitioning errors. You will probably have problems even with a different hc rom.

Visit my "nvflash for dummies " guide here: http://raywaldo.com/2011/01/nvflash-for-dummies/

for simple instructions to fix the problem once and for all.

Best bet - switch to the 1.2bl branch and never look back. My Guide will work for either branch but I recommend the 1.2 bootloader branch.

I have being using the Gtabcomb on my new Gtablet for some 4 days now and i can assure you that it has being great experience so far apart for some few issues which i will mention down here but apart from that am so loving this and always stand on supporting Zhong if he supports us with updates. These where only issues i have had so far

1) so applications atimes (happened like 3 times now 1 with skype , 2nd with pocket cloud) force closes my system and restart to the white Andriod startup page after that i get a wifi error and before i can get wifi working need to restart my tab again

2) I have so far tried to receive and transfer files through bluetooth but the transfer speed was very slow( phone speed 5yrs ago was even better)

3) finally whenever i shutdown or restart my tab on startup i get something that says andriod sys force close something that has to do with gallery. Apart from this minor issues i seem to have so far its all being good and you cant blame this rom it has being without support for sometime now and we pray zhong comes back to continue his great work here . We all appreciate him.

4)And on am upside am a student and few of my friends with ipad2 after seeing my tab running on this rom are looking to toss there pads away and get on Gtablet wagon. Thanks everyone for all the good work we are doing here to keep Gtab as a force to reckon with at least until something better in hardware comes to its challenge .

having a few issues :(

I've been running this from for about a day now and I really love it's but I'm having a couple issues and I'm wondering if maybe someone could give me a hand with it here. The first issue and really this is the big one, is that imbedded flash content doesn't work in my browser. I've tried the stock browser and dolphin HD same problems. I've tried setting the plugins to on demand, and always on, it makes no difference. I've tried rebooting and I've tried uninstalling flash 10.3 and reinstalling it.

The second issue is that when moving the cursor during text entry to correct an error the yellow tab doesn't line up with the cursor itself. Very frustrating.

Lastly the market seems to crash a lot.

Any help would be really appreciated.

battery and video issues

no matter how many times i charge it, even after a complete drain- the battery will always show 100 percent. i can charge it and the light will turn green, but it always shows 100. i tried cwm reset battery, no-go.

my video problem is on a normal website- all websites, if theres a video on it, i can hear it but it wont show. the only reason i know its there is the previous page will show the preview picture.

mobile youtube is fine.

ive had this for months, i tried 3.2 and 1.6.1 same exact thing.

and my previous, ginger vegan and tnt. worked without these issues. but i prefer this rom.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Try letting the battery die all the way, then plug in and boot into cwm and reset battery stats, then boot into ROM.

Try Opera Mobile for all of your flash needs. Under settings (giant red "O") make sure user agent is set to desktop.

Please see this post where another user has the same problem.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raywaldo:
Occasion force closes are common on all the hc roms that I am aware of.

Some users have reported the gallery will force close on startup but otherwise works fine.

Bluetooth is not perfect. If you don't want to use usb transfer, try "wifi file explorer " application from the market.

Imbedded flash fails on many sites. Some users have found opera mobile (not mini) and flash 10.3 from the market work pretty well.

Cursor location issues are common for all.

Market crash is NOT common. Clear data for the app and then sign in again. Or, try fix permission with cwm.

Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard for Xoom and Atrix

I bought this gtablet rooted with a Rom already on it.. I paired my bluetooth keyboard immediately without any passcode..

I bricked it and had to do the NVFlash, now I installed GTACOMB3.3 with BL1.1 and im getting no where fast with this keyboard.

Tried bluez ime, with easyconnect.. tried pairing it through the settings menu and it just pops up with the message for a split second to enter the passkey and 6 tries later it doesnt even do that..

Even with bluez ime it says "error:connection failed" or something like that. Anyone know anything to help? or know of a rom that will work with this device? i am just trying to find the original rom I purchased it with because a keyboard is "key" no pun intended..

Just any honeycomb rom that works with the bluetooth keyboard from motorola. Thanks in advance!

I have one more issue that arose in the last few days, and that is constant shut downs. The tablet is shutting it self off 5-7 times a day. What should I do to fix that?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raywaldo:
unrelated issues

That is not common either and is (probably) not directly related to any of the other issues. I have never experienced that with GTabComb.

The only thing that I can think of that might fix it is the "fix permissions" in CWM.

Whenever you start to having several unrelated issues, the problem is likely systemic. The best, fastest, (and in the long run, the easiest) way to fix it is to start fresh and make certain that you have a good base system (partitions, etc) to work with. My NVFlash for Dummies article (http://raywaldo.com/2011/01/nvflash-for-dummies/) is a simple step-by-step guide to help.

I recommend a complete wipe of the device, NVFlash the 1.2-4349 Stock, Wipe (again), and then flash GTabComb b3.3.

Do not use a backup program to restore your apps (it may re-introduce the same problems that you had before). Instead, go through the Android Setup and allow the Market to re-install your apps. It will take longer (they must be downloaded) and some (free) apps will not be restored at all. However, what you have at the end is a FRESH and CLEAN install that almost certainly will work correctly.

I don't use BT so I cannot say (I use a USB Keyboard). However, here is a comment that someone was able to get it to work. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16325306&postcount=861 No other info.

If you want to try a different ROM, then I think this does as well on BT as any of the Honeycomb roms. If you want to go back to Gingerbread, then CM7 (CyanogenMod 7.0.3) works on the GTab and I believe that the BT Keyboard was NOT an issue. I stopped using it several months ago when I switched to HC - never looked back.

---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

I agree with your assessment/suggestions. I do not believe this is ROM related, nor is it related to the other issues the user is experiencing. I wonder if they are experiencing SODs?

Figured it out, 3.2 picks up my keyboard but 3.3 doesnt. Did functionality get dropped from 2-3? Its the motorola keyboard for android, built for the xoom and atrix but has a bunch of android hotbutton keys that really are working out well. Thanks again and this might be something to look for in the future.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raywaldo:
Weird Issues Unrelated

It is hard to say. Users tend to get frustrated and give up too easily. Also, sometimes, there is not enough info to diagnose the problem.

BTW, I dropped FlashBack a couple weeks ago and returned back here to GTabComb. I still find GC much more responsive, more stable, and fewer issues. (Disclosure: I did not try the FB 8.1 release so it probably did fix some of the problems - especially the network issues.)

---------- Post added at 09:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------

That is strange. AFAIK, Zyhong did not change anything about BT.

ANYWAY, I am glad you got it to work. I don't recall any significant issues with 3.2 so you are probably fine running that.

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

I talked to Zyhong about a week ago and he said that he is taking a break until the major devs get the new kernel working.

I do not believe that he has forsaken this ROM. It is my belief that when there are significant changes available, he will adapt them and put out a new version.

Until then, what does ANY other HoneyComb ROM offer that GTabComb does not? I am still convinced that this is the best HC ROM currently available for the GTab. Anyone else with me? :cool:

BTW, both TEK112 and I (and several other users) continue to offer user support for this ROM.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rover442:
What does other HC ROMS offer? A dev that actually cares about the people that use his ROM. Zyhong has shown his true colors. Even when he was "active", he repeatedly refused to answer the simple question of whether or not he would update this ROM. I don't trust him at all. I appreciate all the effort you and others have done. Without you guys, this ROM would be dead. I truly hope Zyhong stays far away from this site and this ROM. He had his chance. He blew it big time.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZebTheCalvinist:
Yes, he totally blew it by putting together arguably the best HC ROM available for the G-Tablet, and the only one that I am aware of that supports the 1.1 bootloader. Can you imagine the nerve of a guy with a family who is building ROMs in his spare time who doesn't keep up with every single post in a 1000-post thread? What a failure as a human being. I hope he dies.

Never mind that he has already announced that GTabComb will not be supported any longer, since Ice Cream Sandwich is just around the corner and he will be directing his efforts there, thus answering your question. He totally blew it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rover442:
He certainly DID blow it. I for one am glad he's gone. If he has a family and can't devote the time to his "creation", then don't make the ROM. And he's been gone for a long time now. No excuse. Lazy. Pure, utter, lazy. Good riddance to him.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZebTheCalvinist:
Look, I'm not trying to start beef here, but if you don't like GTabComb, go install Flashback and take your comments to that thread. Most of us on here are very pleased with Zyhong's work on this ROM. You aren't accomplishing anything, and you are simply showing your own true colors.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvduchovny:
Zeb,

I know man. The nerve of Zyhong having a life outside of this forum! He should be tarred and feathered! :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Guys, let's calm down. It is sad there will not be active support, but that is why we are here, to provide support to others. One man shows rarely work in ROM development, they get spread too thin. Plus, Zyhong is not out completely, he will be back, just not soon.

I suggest those of you sending fire just edit your posts with a series of asterisks and just let it go. Seriously, this isn't something to start fighting about.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZebTheCalvinist:
Fair enough. I was simply trying to point out behavior that I thought was irrational and insulting to a developer who has done work that I appreciate very much.

My apologies to anyone who was offended by what I said.

I don't read German but it looks like the device is the ViewSonic ZTab. It is the same as the GTab but also includes a 3g radio to talk to the mobile networks.

This rom will work but the 3g is disabled. If you want a wifi-only device then this will work fine. But if you want to use the network then you will need to find another rom or there are ways to activate the 3g on this rom. I don't have it so I can't advise you about that.

Hello everybody. I am a big time NOOB when it comes to rooting and installing ROM's and have been to so many different forums that my head just hurts. I think that after all of the examples of custom ROMs that I have seen, the one that I like the most is the GtabComb ROM. So now that I have made my very hard decision, I want to make sure that I have all of the steps right.

1)Install NVFlash

2)Install ClockWorkMod

3)Install the GTabComb

I pretty much have nothing on this except for some downloaded apps that I can get back again later. I just want to make sure that each of those steps are necessary, and to see if there are any steps that I am missing. Thanks so much for any and all your help.

0. Skip step 1 above.

1. Find out which bootloader version you have. As of today there are 2 -- 1.1 and 1.2. Both CWM and your ROM of choice must be for the version you have. Do not proceed until you are crystal clear on this.

Hints:

CWM for the 1.1 bootloader is version 2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8.

CWM for the 1.2 bootloader is version 3.0.2.8.

2. Once you are clear, follow what ehunyadi does in his videos, but use the correct CWM and ROM versions for your bootloader--he has a 1.1 bootloader: see this thread.

I, I have the hanspad sn10t1 tablet and i installed this honeycomb rom ( GtabComb_b3.3_bl1.2 ) with kernel

ab_kernelv4Release-2-32-44-04

the tablet is perfect!

but when i plug the usb cable to my mac, and when i choose on tablet the usb mode ON,

on the mac it appears a message that say that the USB DISK is not ready and that is necessary the INIZIALIZATION.

if I do on UTILITY DISK on mac, i see 2 partition from the tablet, on of 2gb and the other of 14gb.

but if I use the clock work recovery, I can mount the usb storage and i can copy all the files I want.

why on honeycomb I have that problem?

and another question.

what app I have to use to overclock the processor?

the kernel that i installed is compatible with overclock?

Partitioning the gTablet

To understand the various partitions on the gTablet, visit my article on the subject here :

http://raywaldo.com/2011/07/format-the-gtab/ thanks to rajeevvp for editing and corrections.

To overclock I suggest Setcpu on the market. There is a free app cpumaster but some users have suggested that it may be the source of sod issues.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peppens1:
thanks, but I know what are the different partitions.

the problem is that I can mount the data partition ( 14gb) only from recovery if I use a MAC computer.

with windows I can mount the disk from honeycomb. Windows download a particular driver ( NVIDIA HARMONY) and when this driver is there, it appears the removible disk.

I don't understand why there is a problem with mac.

I would understand the difference of mounting between the recovery and honeycomb system.

or i would find for an app that mount the data partition like the recovery.
