cnn.com, volume and wifi issues

Thanks. It did not work. I am doing more research and found out the following.

nbcnews (old msnbc.com) videos work fine with loud audio

youtube plays but audio not good

cnn.com videos won't play. Complains that I need flashplayer 10.1 and above. Thought flashplayer is inbuilt. don't know how to fix this

foxnews.com clicking video button does not do anything

I also tried the following apps to see if they change anything

-Volume+

-Equalizer

-Volume FX

- Wifi signal booster

Nothing improved either the sound or wifi strength.

The cnn.com video is baffling to say the least. Any thoughts?

Never mind. figured it out. Android zip manager, extracted zip and installed the apk.

BUT

still getting the flash error in cnn.com

:confused:

ok. more progress....

On stock browser video on cnn.com now works. However on Dolphin browser CNN.com still says I need flash player. Doing some more research.

Thanks for your help.

Hello and thanks for the JB ROM:

So far the only problem I've seen was during the install. After you pick the zip in cwr (which was on my /Micro*/{external SD}), and apply it, then it appears to lose track of where further .zip files are giving a can't find E:{blah blah} error.

I got around this by booting into JB without gapps, using goo im to download the 0726 apps to the internal, writing a quick script for init.d to do this:

# mount -o bind /storage/sdcard1/ /storage/sdcard0/fssd ## from term emul

That allows me to use my old locations /sdcard/fssd to get to the MicroSD again, and all works well. As far as install goes, what I did worked well, so it's OK. First install the 6.0, reboot, then get gapps somewhere, and reboot-to-recovery and install them.

The last ~2 hours running 6.0 , well, not much experience I know ;), but it is running great. I had for some reason been using ahrd before and really am enjoying this. I've had my GNexus running JB for a while and really like this OS. So far, I've only found a couple of widgets that aren't compatible.

For restoring, I only got Titanium BKP from the market, and used my old backup (with data), and only one app would not restore (Where) which I won't miss, but the other ~150 apps all restored fine. I did updates, and wifi is as good as before.

There are many things I've not tested but I'm sure I'll run across the non-working things.

I really want to say thanks because this does improve the tf101 immensely and I liked it before on ICS too.

Good work -

when i read your post i had just flashed. trackpad did not work. then an hour later i was using it and the trackpad worked. i didnt change anything.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hachamacha:
All my initial testing of this ROM was done with the power plugged in, but when I took out the plug, the first (and all subsequent) time I let the screen turn off, it was hung and required reboot. No adb shell access, nothing.

I guess it was a little too good to be true, but the good news is that it only happens on battery so to give a direction to any debug you do.

Thanks -

The other thing I noted was that the GPS very rarely can get a fix. It sometimes sees a couple of satellites but can't fix on them, which it did fine on 4.0.4. I tried the gps patch that is lower in the forum.

Rayman or anyone who knows this:

Is there a 'stock' .zip file to reflash this ROM kernel so I can revert to a backup for the moment? I'm just thinking that I've got it setup now and would prefer not to have to do that twice and my backup + a stock JB kernel would be great.

Thanks very much -
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] forum_user_99:
Got it. I have Dolphin 8.7.

Thanks for the info. Looks like there is a workaround (somewhat ugly) available if you are still running ICS or have a device running ICS. I wish I had known that before upgrading to JB.

But no big deal. I will just switch o stock browser for flash videos.

I just don't like stock browser has it does not many options that dolphin provides such as gestures, history less browsing.. etc.

I am on #6, and Google Talk video chat is still broken. Skype works.

Any ideas?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sharpe351:
What build is your tf? Mine is b50 sbk1. You are having

identical

problems that I'm having. Some of which, I believe is kernel voltage related. I think the voltages are still too low on the current kernel (which I've had problems with since the last stock asus update) and need to be adjusted higher to compensate. This may be a fix of sorts for our particular problems.

I also believe that this so-called GPS fix is hogwash from a snake oil salesman. It hasn't worked on any device I've tried it on that he supports. Literally no change from before to after.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] PuerkitoBio:
My god the difference installing Voodoo makes! Love this ROM, actually back on it after leaving for Team EOS when it was supposed to be abandoned... but then wasn't! Only minor complaints that would be really nice to fix but are not deal-breakers for me:

- wifi signal is still significantly weaker than Team EOS and stock (I'm losing connection in places around the house where I get good signal on other roms)

- the unlock screen's circle still disappears sometimes (you can still unlock by guessing where it should be)

Thanks for keeping this great rom alive.

Edit: that's on #6
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hachamacha:
Hi Sharpe,

I didn't realize this was , I take it, undervolted? If so, that's not really good on a 'stock-with-ROM' kernel, but I don't know that it's a problem here yet. Anyway: if it is an undervolting problem, it could hopefully be easily solved by setting all the vdd's up using a script something like this on startup:

#echo +.025v {or whatever} > /sys/{path_to_uv_vdd_vars}

And that would take care of that, but I think it's much more telling that it only happens when the power cable is out. (or when it's on battery only). If it were just vdd levels then it would happen plugged in as well. Yeah, I think you're right about the GPS stuff. It did nothing for me and I'm really trying to see why it should work. I just know mine worked better before I used it.

I guess I'll leave 6.0 in a backed up state in cwr until this mystery is solved.

I just tried something that is kind of telling: I did a full wipe/reset/cache/dalvik and installed it and the 0726 gapps without any of my own stuff and it still happens.

By the way:: My build is a b60.

Good luck solving it. I think the abort is disastrous enough so that nothing of use is actually written to the log because it is dead by then.

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

It would be helpful to the few of us having a total wipeout upon screen lock on battery if a few more of you could report back whether or not you also have that problem on battery:

To test: Just unplug the tf101 and let the screen power off. Then try to wake it up and let us know if it works. Thanks, and I hope this doesn't derail anything in the thread for those having a great time (hey, I was one of them ;))
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sharpe351:
I may have stumbled across a fix for the WiFi issue in my travels here. This thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26608802 seems to have boosted my WiFi speed and signal. The ROM doesn't have a sysctrl file in /system/etc, but when I added it in and rebooted, I did have a stronger signal and faster up/down speed via WiFi. Someone needs to try it to confirm. It works on all the devices I have so far and should not boot loop or brick your device. It actually is a Linux tweak and does not effect the ROM.

Sorry for the long winded post.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hachamacha:
Just to test my sanity (no worry, I'm completely insane), I restored via cwr my 3 hour old ICS backup and now everything works fine again. The thing about CWR that drives me nuts is that it can't save the /boot partition so you have to then a) remember what kernel you had installed and b) install it again ;)

Anyway -- I'll go into a holding pattern awaiting a fix for this thing, and if I get time I'll try to figure it out myself maybe tomorrow. Right now I need something I can move around with that works.

{watching the thread for developments } ;)

BTW 351: I also noticed that lowered wifi signal and it is pretty striking now that I'm temporarily back on 4.0.4 how good it is. Also how quick I get a GPS fix without any AGPS magic installed.

Thanks for the link, tried it, it may be a little faster, but the signal is not stronger in my case. Though I'm no expert on the subject, I doubt setting any TCP config will do anything signal-wise, it requires a correction/optimization in a driver, probably.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kjacksonmusic:
may anyone confirm GPS is working without a secondary fix? I tried it out in build 5 and could rarely lock onto satellites.

Thanks.:good:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hachamacha:
Someone else might, but for me, I could see 2 or 3 satellites and never get a lock. That was without the 'fix' (which I don't believe in) and with the fix, I couldn't see any satellites.

It was on build #6 also.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JoinTheRealms:
The GPS fix didnt "work" for me but it did increase the number of satellites it could see just still wont lock on

USB external drive not accessible

I am unable to access my external hard drive via USB. I am on 6.0. I have storage/sdcard0/sdcard1/sdcard2/usbdisk1/usbdisk2.

sdcard0 and sdcard1 are my internal and external sd cards, respectively

usbdisk1 and usbdisk2 (as well as sdcard2) - state 'directory empty" in my file manager.

Under androids settings/storage - USB DEVICE 1 and 2 states "mount SD card" in highlight white, when I have the drive plugged in. So it is reading it.

Just did a factory reset, partition wipe and fresh install. No luck

How do I access my files on my external USB drive? Is there a workaround?

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] PuerkitoBio:
I got a lock with 5 or 6 satellites, but it took quite a while, 15 minutes or so. Not sure how usable it would be, maybe future locks will be much faster (I don't use gps much on my tablet).

Had the same problem, i am using paragon ntfs its a free app you can download through play store, out of all the apps i tried its the only one that does its job. The only drawback is that you have to mount the drives every time you reboot your tablet but otherwise it works.

Loving this ROM, got an issue though. Was running 4.0 then upgraded to 6.0. Now I'm having trouble reinstalling some apps, namely Beweather Pro.

I've got Maps installed but it still won't work. Something missing due to gapps being integrated?

Anyone else having similar issues?

TIA

PS Also, still can't turn back on unless plugged into usb cable. Power button does not respond when powered off.

---------- Post added at 04:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 AM ----------

Okay, fixed the library issues. Had to extract and replace 2 files from jb-gapps:

system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml --> /system/etc/permissions

system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar --> /system/framework

Even though Maps was installed, I had to replace these files in order to install BeWeather. I'm sure it's just a small issue, but maybe to keep an eye on for next build.

Thanks for the wonderful ROM RayManFX, keep up the great work that maintains our little tablet kicking butt and taking names :D

PS: Still no way to fix the need for the USB cable to turn on; will look further into it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] scottyf79:
Excellent work as always Rayman! Havent came across some of the issues being reported however i had a minor issue when - or should i say after - using the Usb connection on the dock.

Will re-create this one and send a logcat later......

Put usb stick into usb slot to transfer some music for in the car.

After finishing the transfer some of my apps seemed to go a bit wonky.

Most obvious was "external keyboard helper pro" which kept throwing up an error and force closing.

Simple reboot fixed it

Noticed some of the apps on the internal sd had lost their normal logos/icons and had been replaced with "sd"

Like i said, i will logcat later as its easy to replicate......no biggy, and much respect bro :good:;)

So is the blob produced by this the kernel what we're using in this ROM? I know it says so in ~3rd post in this thread, but I'm making sure the git hub is up to date.

Edit & Correct:

XXXXXX - not rigth: https://github.com/RaymanFX/device_asus_tf101.git

Correct spot (or should be): http://github.com/RaymanFX/tf101-kernel-tegra

Thanks in advance.

PS: I'm looking into what's up with the system going haywire upon sleeping on battery (which is apparently a known bug as said in that post). I'm cloning it right now to attempt to check it out. I'm much more adept with plain Linux kernels than ones specific to android but what the heck ;)?

Installed the ROM using CWM, reboots into Rayman FX Jellybean animation and then switches off.

Is there something else that needs to be done?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hachamacha:
Apparently ;)

To get this ROM to run having come from ICS, I had to do the following steps:

From CWR:

Reset/Wipe (it doesn't destroy your /sdcard private contents)

clear cache and clear dalvik

install ROM

install gapps (jb-0726, from goo

and reboot and try again. Mine came up without being able to first install gapps so I did that after 1 boot, which worked fine. (as far as just getting this ROM installed.)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
When coming from any other ROM, it is best to do a wipe from recovery to clear out all the cobwebs.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] therealWilmy:
Where do I get gapps from?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hachamacha:
Goo manager from the Play Store and then download gapps and get (well, popular opinion says to) JB's 0726 one. Install right after the ROM.

Goodluck.

Hi again -

I just realized that you're close to right about the kernel being the problem, just not the voltages. I didn't really read through the JB AOSP kernel thread, but that kernel is what has the acknowledged problem of dying when trying to lock screen from battery.

I've fetched the git code and am working on it, but haven't yet figured out which .config file it was built with. I'm not currently running JB so if you could look and see if /proc/config.gz is on your JB setup and maybe attach it here somewhere, that'd help a lot.

Thanks, --
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] therealWilmy:
Okay ROM installed :)

Wow, that's sped things up a tad - good work RaymanFX, I'm loving it already.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hachamacha:
Tried an experiment today while I'm awaiting a kernel config, which I can probably get now from my tf101. I installed K.A.T. kernel for JB and GPS Fix (a kernel level fix). I'm messing with this and have a completely hacked up system, but it doesn't have the won't-unlock (or lock) bug anymore.

I'm now reinstalling apps and seeing which of them work OK.

I've also tried EOS which worked OK for me as well. I used K.A.T with that one too just to get away from these lousy Harmony kernels.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RaymanFX:
You describe my kernels as 'lousy' but don't even have the glance of some experience in kernel developing obviously, since you want to take a 2.6.39.4 kernel config to compile my tegra-kernel from github which is 3.1.10 divemaster and up. hm. I will be interested in the result. And just for information, I (and most of the other members) don't have any of the issues you described ...

One more example, you mentioned the gps fix as a kernel level fix. Well, it is not.

It's ramdisk related. please get your facts straight before cluttering people.

No offense here, we can work together to improve things if you have the basic knowledge, but I am getting angry if someone wears down my work, even in my own thread. Again, show me some work of yours which really improves something and I am willing to help you with things.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dark79:
Running init.d scripts seems to be broken. I flashed init.d.v07.zip (can't find the link on xda, sorry!) and it works now.

Also busybox seems broken as well. I installed Stericsson BusyBox installer from the market and installed to /system/xbin and then I didn't get errors from apps trying to run superuser commands.

Minor issues with fixes so no complaints here. I hope you can get the rest of the dock special buttons working and this ROM would be PERFECT.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] therealWilmy:
Or for MyLibrary?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hachamacha:
My mistake. Sorry about that. I thought that the base JB kernels, the ones from Asus (if there are any) were the Harmony code-name ones, not yours. I haven't tried yours yet. I've put in a lot of time on building kernels and doing drivers for embedded ARM projects, but not on android, so I have a great appreciation for you and your work.

As far as the .config file goes, I wasn't going to try to build your code with it, merely grab some of the configuration settings so I'd know what it took to setup yours for the correct ARM chipset. The GPS fix doesn't even work for me. I just know it wasn't a configuration file fix. This is one of the many reasons why I don't develop anything here in the forums, because I don't want to see silly hurtful comments that I just stupidly made and I don't have time to maintain anything I write for nothing, but I really respect those that do.

Sorry about the misunderstanding. I was just happy to be able to run a JB ROM on the tf101.

Thanks very much for your work and again, my apologies-
