I went astray for a while to try the stock tapntap so I could use the hardware acceleration and camera. however that didn't work out well.

since I've flashed back to this rom, I'm having lots of memory issues, and apps in the background keep closing. Also if I open 4-5 tabs in the browser, it just closes.

I had partitioned internal to 2048/0, then nvflashed to stock tapntap with touch cwm, and then flashed 10.3

I'm thinking I might have done something wrong here. any guidance?
[G Tablet Android Development] rmarinella:
you need to wipe and format data, system, boot and cache before flashing.
[G Tablet Android Development] junooni:
so I don't need nvflash? I just partition to 2048/0, format all that, copy the rom and flash?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
You do not need to nvflash only if you know you are on the 1.2 bootloader branch and that you have a 250mb partition which was part of the latest nvflash package.

If you are sure of these you should partition 2048/0 and then wipe data and system (you need to mount system first, then wipe).
[G Tablet Android Development] junooni:
ah I forgot to mount them. damn. by the way, how do I ensure I have a 250mb partition?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I use titanium since it is usually on my tablet. It will tell you how big the system partition is.

Head over to the teamDRH.com site and get their nvflash zip and flash it. Then you can load flashback or their ICS ROM.
[G Tablet Android Development] junooni:
i get stuck in boot look at the tapntap logo. nonetheless, trying to format and flash the rom 10.3.

fingers crossed!
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
No. You should not mount a partition before formatting it. In fact, CWM will unmount the filesystem before it begins the format. It has to--otherwise you could corrupt the filesystem.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
That's good to know. Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] bob_frapples:
Everything has been working great.

Haven't used the tablet in a couple weeks and now the browser works fine but no other app will connect to the internet (gmail, play store, dropbox...)

Any ideas?

I went in and reset the cache, fixed permissions and reset everything other than a complete format. - no luck
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
Is your date and time correct?
[G Tablet Android Development] junooni:
nvflash

What is the best NVFLASH to use with 10.3? Please post link
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
You can use the same NVflash as ICS and some of the JB ROM's that comes with with 5504 recovery. Here is a Quick download link if you need it. Just remember if you are coming from the newer JB ROM's you will have to partition the internal storage back to stock format or the later ROM's will not recognize it.

http://teamdrh.com/DRH-Downloads/Full_Stock_NVFlash_CWM_5504_Touch.zip
[G Tablet Android Development] junooni:
Yup that's the one I used. I formatted the internal SD to 2048/0 and flashed the rom without any problems.

However, the rom is painfully slow for some reason. I'm unable to play most video files (tried MX & Mobo players) and I'm also getting weird graphical glitches like colors in games show as black patches. I'm attaching a screenshot of candy crush saga for an example.

I moved back to HC because the JB rom was too slow to be practical and also it didn't recognize my internal SD. I ding know if I did something wrong I tried a lit before switching back and now even this is getting frustrating.

I'm willing to experiment and even go back to gb if that makes my tablet usable again. Would appreciate help and guidance to get back to gb if that'll enable hardware acceleration.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
You have got to remember that when looking for good HW acceleration is a ROM for the Gtablet it is either a froyo or ICS based ROM. Honeycomb won't even come close to this due to the lack of the support. That is why you are having issues. Gingerbread base will give you a little better performance on it, but true HW support can only be found in those 2 based selections.
[G Tablet Android Development] junooni:
I understand that. Unfortunately my GTab is one of the unlucky ones with swapped partitions hence i can't go beyond HC. If you remember, you've been helping me in PM with the NVFlash. The last NVFlash did work but it didn't show my internal SD and also the JB rom was too slow.

I can live without HW acceleration since I don't play any games on it but at least some videos should play. I don't care about the front cam not working either.

What would you suggest I should do to make the tablet happy and useful again?
[G Tablet Android Development] hikouka71:
how do you find out if your gtab can handle the partitions needed for ICS? i'd like a clean rom where everything works and its relatively smooth functioning and reasonable performance
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Well if you are looking for a ROM that everything works off the bat then ICS is not for you. If you can live without the front camera, but everything else works then ICS is for you. What is the Tablet running currently? In your current ROM go into terminal emulator, if you have it installed, and type in "df" without the quotes. This will give you a rough idea on what the partition are set for.
[G Tablet Android Development] hikouka71:
well i had been using roebeets roms forever, tried this one last fall and its still on there now

front cam would be nice but isn't necessary
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Well it looks like you are currently setup to run any of the ICS ROMs. As long as your bootloader is 1.2 you should be able to load up without a issue. If you would like to try any of the JellyBean ROM's you will need to NVflash and setup for it.
[G Tablet Android Development] hikouka71:
ok thanks i'll check some of them out, all we really use the pad for is as a monitor for an IP camera we're using as a babymonitor, and for netflix

Hi cheko,

I removed the [/system/data] folder (3rd party apps) and meant to provide as a separate dowload.

If you still have the FB 10.1 (or earlier) archive, you can extract it from there.

There's also been some success with the newest Flash Player from the Market.

You can also find some older app versions at 'Freeware Lovers'

http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/apps

[G Tablet Android Development] cheko:
Thanks JR for the response tried the link you suggested no luck website might be down

I have a tried two of the other hacked versions of flash 10.3 of the forum no luck yet

I extracted the hacked flash apk from the 10.1 flashback archive flash is running better

JR nice work really diggin on flashback 10.3 its the business
[G Tablet Android Development] apathet:
I can't seem to download anything from the market. It just gives me "X could not be downloaded because of an error." Anyone else experience this?

EDIT

I figured it out. I apparently had flashed a different version of the 1.2 bootloader, although it said 1.2 and rev5... Anyway, I nvflashed the file from the OP and everything is working. That's what I get for not following directions from the start...

I'm having trouble getting any of the office apps to install. Installed several apps, but every Office type app fails to download or install. Anyone got a working office app?

[G Tablet Android Development] CTTKDKing:
Anyone else having trouble with superuser? I cant seem to get root access to apps that need it. Any thoughts?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Clear data for superuser and then reboot into recovery and fix permissions. Then reboot and open an app that requires root access.
[G Tablet Android Development] jazzruby:
Hi satishraman,

The keyboard in the 'Pics' is the 'Tablet Keyboard Pro' (there's also a free version).

The free version is missing some functions/keys, i.e. 'Select all', 'Cut/Copy/Paste', 'Forward/Back Arrows'.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.prettyeasy.tabletkeyboard.pro
[G Tablet Android Development] jazzruby:
Hi Seanbest,

Are these 'demo' or 'licensed' you're trying?

Is there any one particular 'Office' app you're interested in; I'll try and download.

Let me know.

-JR-
[G Tablet Android Development] Seanbest:
It's on my bosses tablet. He said he couldn't get Documents To Go and 2 others that he doesn't remember the name of. Sorry for the lack of info, but he's like that.
[G Tablet Android Development] CTTKDKing:
Thank you for getting back to me, that didn't work though. Are there any other things I can try aside from a reflash? Will clearing cache and dalvik help in this scenario?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
It does not hurt to try. If that doesn't work uninstall superuser, reboot and reinstall it. If that fails try wiping data and reflashing the rom.
[G Tablet Android Development] CTTKDKing:
Thanks. I'll try it when I get home from work. Much obliged for the help. :D
[G Tablet Android Development] jtluce:
I am not able to obtain ip address from ad hoc connections. I do see the network as an option, just never fully connects. Is there a fix for this?
[G Tablet Android Development] CTTKDKing:
Ok so that didn't work either (in this ROM super user is a system app and you need root to uninstall system apps. Oh the irony), but I can tell you what did.

I booted into clockwork, and cleared cache and dalvik. Rebooted, still no root access. I then rebooted into clockwork again and flashed the stock ROM file

without

wiping and that did the trick. I had done this to clear up some issues in a different ROM so I thought it might help before I totally wiped the system out. Thanks for the input though. It was greatly appreciated. :D
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I am glad it worked out for you. Thank you for posting back your results.

Camera fixed in 10.3? Didn't see it in changelog so figured i would ask.

AFAIK, camera doesn't work in any of the Honeycomb ROMs (Flashback, GTabComb, BOS, etc.) because of lack of drivers.

Updated successfully to 10.3. It seems smoother but I can't really tell. Maybe I haven't cleared my cache in a while.

I went from FB 9 to 10.3 and it works great except the battery life seems noticably lower.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Have you checked the battery settings to see where your juice is going?
[G Tablet Android Development] firewater88:
Once again a great ROM! Was updating every step, but decided to do a wipe and format this round. Fast and great!

I must say that I get SOD with included kernel, but Clemsyn's kernel Honeycomb Trial 5 seems to be keeping that from happening.

Anyone running GTA III 10th Year Anniversery on this ROM?

Has the flash issue been resolved?

Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] Razor1973:
PLEASE HELP!

I was on the stable CM 7.0 build (don't know the bootlader, but I am assuming it was 1.2) with CWM 2.5.1.8 installed and wanted to install this ROM. I did a bunch of things, which were clearly wrong, since I ended up bricking my gTablet. I can't boot it up and that includes CWM. When I Power-Vol+, I get "Detect a recovery key pressed - Booting recovery kernel image", but it just stays there. I also tried adb, but it doesn't recognize the device. I'm not sure I have the USB drivers installed (keep in mind I haven't used the tablet in many months) because when I plugged it in, nothing popped up saying new hardware found, but the Device Manager didn't show anything called NVIDIA-anything, anywhere.

I have tried to follow all code red instructions from this page, but they all assume I can either get to CWM or that I can use NVFlash, but NVFlash always tells me no USB device is found.

What can I do to recover my bricked gTablet???

UPDATE: Never mind. Bottom line is I didn't really understand how to put the gTablet in ATX mode. I just finished flashing stock with NVFlash and it's booting up as I type.
[G Tablet Android Development] jazzruby:
Hi Razor1973,

The correct ClockworkMod is 3.0.2.8

Download NVFlash rev5 by tlb1961 from the OP (first page), there are detailed instructions included in the download.

This will get you to a 1.2 bl and ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8

You'll be running Flashback within an hour!

i'm having an issue, love the rom so far

but it seems to be shutting down randomly(with increasing frequency) when my g-tab screen goes to sleep

tried searching in this thread but didn't find anything, suggestions?

also when it boots up i get immediate force close

"the application gallery (process com.android.gallery3d) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again"
[G Tablet Android Development] junooni:
Hello all,

I'm facing a very weird issue since last night. I've been using the rom without any issues since i got my gtab. everything works perfect and i don't get any FCs / crashes except occasional SODs, but a no biggie.

last night i was using my tablet as usual. i switched it to standby and when i tried to turn it on again, it didn't respond. I figured it was the SOD so i force switched it off, and that's when hell broke loose.

upon rebooting, the tablet got stuck at the 3-birds screen. just to make sure it wasn't a battery issue, i charged the table for a couple of hours but its still not booting.

another major point of concern is that i can't access the recovery mode as well. The only way i can see for now is to do the entire NVFlash thing again as i can only get in the APX mode.

I would really appreciate any help here as i'm not keen on going through the NVFlash process. I have a huge number of apps installed and customized and my setup was running absolutely perfect, so this crash doesnt even make sense.

Pls help!
[G Tablet Android Development] wd5gnr:
I tried installing the clem zip from this thread and got no boot. Just the birds and the first screen and when boot animation should start just a black screen.

Reflashed pershoot and all OK again. Tried twice with a fresh download. No one else having that problem? And yes did a cache wipe.
[G Tablet Android Development] hikouka71:
further developments, google maps makes the tab reboot a second or so after launching it, also getting force closes on startup from maps or skype
[G Tablet Android Development] maverixz:
Experiencing the same problem and I started off with an upgrade from10.2 and experience the problem then I clean installed and I a still having the same issues. Also my Gtalk wouldn't authenticate and my market always gives errors when I try to download anything. I am going to redo the entire process and do the stage 3 Total Wipe (NVflash process et al.)
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
The nvflash process is most likely unnecessary. Download a fresh copy of 10.3 and wipe data/cache/dalvik twice. Then, format the sdcard to make sure there is no bad information left on the internal storage. Don't forget to copy off your personal files as they will be destroyed.

Post back your results.
[G Tablet Android Development] maverixz:
Thanks Tek, I just finished the NVflash and the SD card format process. I'm about to install the ROM now and will update you afterwards.

---------- Post added at 09:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 AM ----------

After completing the entire setup, I tried to download Dropbox to test the market and I got the same error message I had gotten a few times in the previous installations of the ROM................ "Dropbox" could not be downloaded due to an error.

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ----------

Gtalk authentication failed again.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
The first thing I want you to try is to perform a market fix. Go into settings, applications, manage applications, and clear the data and force close the market and both google service frameworks. Then, open up the market and you will receive an error. If you do not receive this error repeat the process above until you do. After receiving the error reboot and try downloading application from the market again.

If that fails, go into settings accounts and sync and remove your google account, then reboot and re add your google account and then try the market.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
This is normal. However, when you are in recovery do not press reboot into recovery option otherwise it will stick your tablet in a recovery boot loop.
[G Tablet Android Development] maverixz:
Thanks again Tek. I tried the steps and it took the second stage of removing the Google account to get me going. I appreciate your help. :D
[G Tablet Android Development] AlexFG:
I had the same problem as you, I upgraded from 10.2 and a couple of days later, all of the sudden my gtab just got stuck on the three birds screen no recovery access so I had to do a clean NvFlash to get it to work again.

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

I had the same problem after I updated to 10.3. I tried wiping everything from recovery a couple of times and that didn't fix it. The only way I got it to work was by going to settings >> Accounts and from there click on the gmail account you set up on your first boot and delete it. Reboot your gTab open up the market and type in your gmail account info one more time. After that you should be good to go.

Make sure your google talk app passes authentication before you try to download any apps from the market; otherwise you'll get an error.
[G Tablet Android Development] ketjr81:
This is a great rom but i had to switch. After a boot everything is responsive and slowly gets sluggish till i need to reboot again. I tried wiping everything and formatting them myself, repartition. Seems like this is just me, and not sure what else to try.

I also tried the other kernel and changed dalvik vm heap size. I lowered it a lot too 32,40 and 64 but ended up sluggish again.
[G Tablet Android Development] dvus:
Mine died too.

I did a clean install and it was working beautifully, although somewhat sluggish. Today when I woke it up from sleep and it was acting very strangely, not responsive while in the browser.

I restarted it and it FC'd on just about everything it tried to load.

I then booted into CWM and wiped cache and dalvik cache and now it's stuck on trying to boot up.

I'm looking to try to down grade to 10.2 as based on the previous posts I think 10.3 has some serious issues with it after a period of time.

Does anyone have a link to the 10.2 image? I can't find it with a search.
[G Tablet Android Development] seang:
i get the same with gmaps. it does something similar to a hot reboot, and then WIFI dies till a full reboot.

clean install of the latest this morning, per directions.

how goes it after the reinstall? i may try that next

[G Tablet Android Development] kaneelias:
Just installed this Rom on my girlfriends Gtab and have found a couple of issues that hopefully there is a work around for.

1 - When i connect it to my PC usb storage mode, if the screen times out then the connection is lost. Is there any way to keep this running in the back ground once the screen goes off?

2 - I have the screen set to time out after 30 seconds. I have noticed that once the screen times out or i push the power button to turn the screen off manually, after a couple of hours the tablet won't wake up. I then held down the power button and found that the tablet was powering on and was not in fact in a sleep. It is quite inconvenient to have to power up every time the tablet has not been used for a while.

Is this normal behaviour?
[G Tablet Android Development] merdely:
I have seen this with all HC ROMs I've used. It is quite annoying, but not enough to go back to GB or Froyo.
[G Tablet Android Development] kaneelias:
Thanks for letting me know. It is not the worst issue and i guess in the long run it will conserve battery power. Glad to know I am not the only one. Just curious as my Xoom always seems to sleep but if that is the way it is then i can live with it.
[G Tablet Android Development] merdely:
Keep in mind: your Xoom was designed to work with HC. The gTablet came with an f'd up Froyo. GB worked pretty well, but I think a lot of the HC ROMs are based off of other tables (ADAM, etc). The fact that it works at all is pretty amazing.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
This is not normal behavior. It is called SOD. We have a support thread here:

http://tinyurl.com/3jcx2sn

This should resolve your issue.

---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

While not completely uncommon, this should not be happening. Please see this link as it is most likely kernel related:

http://tinyurl.com/3jcx2sn
[G Tablet Android Development] kaneelias:
Thank you very much for your response and your link to the help thread. By looking at the various fixes available it seems that this will be a trial and error process.

Has anyone experienced this on Flashback and can provide fixes they used? I just flashed the rom and have not changed the kernel so not sure which is running as i do not have the tab with me at the moment. Perhaps someone can suggest a kernel to use also what are the benefits of using different kernels.

Sorry for the questions, i am pretty familiar with custom roms on my phone but tablets is still new to me.
[G Tablet Android Development] merdely:
I have tried the power, volup, volup, power trick 3 times and it worked for me. We'll see if it works every time.
[G Tablet Android Development] kaneelias:
Cheers for the follow up. Reading the thread you directed me too I will try trial4 and trial 5 kernels and report my findings.

Can someone tell me (a little off topic) how I can make the wifi turn off when the screen goes off? Is there a setting somewhere for this?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
There are only two kernels you can use. Each tablet has its own preference. Some like Clems kernel and others like Pershoots. You have to flash Clems kernel found in the OP and see if it makes a difference.
[G Tablet Android Development] kaneelias:
Yep got that, as well as a couple of the other Clemsyn HC Trial kernels to test.
