I just want to thank you for this awesome ROM. I have had my Gtab for about 3 years now, I bought it to use in school. Since I am in a class now that requires using it, I wiped it out and started fresh, because these pesky vertical white lines appear on the left and right sides of the screen.

I never thought I would find an up to date ROM for this device, thanks for developing it. My tablet runs smoothly and is on par with all of the ipad minis I suddenly found myself surrounded by, lol.

Thanks again man, and if you know of a fix for the vertical white lines, please let me know.

I tried

ntfs mounter, ntfsSD, Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+

with my 8g and 16g formatted cards but not any softs worked yet.

My gtab fw is CyanogenMod 10-20121106-UNOFFICAL-smba1102

Please help...
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
Ok..... in order to do this there are a couple of issues. First off, you CANNOT format the microsd card while it is in the tablet using a usb cable. You MUST format the card using a usb microsd adapter or an SD slot built in to the computer. I highly recomend using a windows based PC or laptop. then, after the microsd is formatted to NTFS while NOT in the tablet, install the microsd app, and restart the tablet. Then open the app, set it to run at startup, then shut the tablet down. Insert the microsd card, and boot, it SHOULD be there, unless there are other issues....but this is how I do it.

If you have a 32gb card, it takes a minute or two for the tab to check the card for errors on boot. If you have a 64gb card, it takes like three minutes for it to check it all for errors. I love it though, i use mine for media, movies and music..... it copies very fast, sometimes up to 35mbps when I copy new movies over. I should point out....once the card is in the tab and working, you CAN USE your tab and a usb cable to copy things over, make sure you set the tablet not to sleep until 30 minutes, under >settings>display

If this dont work, let me know....we will keep goin until it does.

Nice ROM, I used the 350 partition, running for a couple days now.

Anything further on the bluetooth mouse cursor? I've searched through the forums, but so far nothing on how this shape file could be changed back to the arrow from the star. The TF300 seems to have this ability in the Settings=>Language & Input=>Mouse/Track Pad options, but missing in our version. I'll keep searching.

Thanks, and great work!

I apologize for not having input for say about the rom but I do want to thank you, redeye, tj and geowolf for your continous efforts to keep my tablet alive! You guys rock fam! Have a great weekend.

[G Tablet Android Development] Scuter:
smooth indeed

Thanks again for the smooth rom. I don't know why but my g-tablet which I have had for a long time never impressed me. it was never snappy. Maybe my tablet had a some hw problem... maybe still does. So now it has JB but I found it still sluggish most of the time.

I hate the confinements of apple products (and that is why they call it jail break) yet this tablet is another example of why apple excels in awasome products. This tablet has flexibility with USB and microSd, etc...but was never really smooth. I think either my tablet is defective or I have higher expectations.

I hope the rest of you have a snappy tablet. ... if anyone has overcome such issues please let me know.

thanks

I'm very interested in trying out this ROM on my newly acquired G Tablet (from a friend who has an old CM7 ROM on it), but I'm not quite sure what BL version I have -- 1.1 or 1.2 Since the tablet no longer has the stock OS, is there a way to check the bootloader version? The tablet's rooted, with clockwork mod and a ROM installed, and I have a feeling I'll have to redo everything to get Android 4.* ROMs to work =/

EDIT: well, nevermind my question - just saw an answer down the front page -- the nVflash utility should update the BL too.

Rodgers that. This rom is #1 I just want the new darn kernel..... If NOBE1976 CAN HEAR USSSSSSSSSS! I :eek:
[G Tablet Android Development] Photoelectric:
It's quite nice so far! Installed and playing with it. There seems to be a fair amount of lag when installing applications (like unable to do anything for a while). Once things are installed, everything is good. Also playing with resizing icons with a Tablet layout mode (using the default APEX launcher -- tried NOVA, and the free version wasn't as customizeable).

Also, and I guess there's nothing to be done about that, but my G Tablet's screen does not look as sharp as the screenshots here. I guess it's the fairly low resolution of the tablet, combined with a non-IPS screen :( Everything, including fonts, is just a bit discolored and fuzzy.

[G Tablet Android Development] Photoelectric:
Big thanks for this ROM! Would you mind pointing me to a way I can obtain stock Android apps, such as Mail + Mail widget? This ROM comes only with GMail and its associated widget.

Also, does improper partition of SD card have an impact on tablet performance, even if all of my apps are installed to internal memory? Trying to figure out why my install is so sluggish when getting new apps, and in general at times.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Yes due to the fact that the cache for both Dalvic and Data has been symlinked to the data partition I have suggested everyone to expand that to 4096 instead of the normal 2048. Suggest starting clean and repartition the internal storage to 4096/0 in CWM as requested in the OP. As far as the stock email apps I am looking into moving those into the Data partition to save room in the System partiton, trying to save amount of space I can. I will try to zip up the 2 apk's for the AOSP email and post them in the #2 post with installation instructions.
[G Tablet Android Development] Photoelectric:
Thanks again! My bad about not partitioning properly. Reinstalled the ROM after re-partitioning, and it's palpably faster!!!

Looking forward to the mail APKs! Thanks for that too!!! (and for all the prompt replies <3)

Hrm, I was trying to shut down the tablet from Clockwork Recovery using "shut down" option, and it decided to completely freeze instead =/ That's where I'd take out a battery on my phone, but I'm not sure it's possible on this tablet. Holding the "power" button does absolutely nothing. Just stuck on the "Shutting down..." screen. I probably have to wait for the tablet to run out of battery charge, don't I? :(

Re: (MOD)(BL1.2ROM-CM-10)SmOoTher_BeAn_4.1.2(G-tablet)(Updated 01/05/13)

Yeah I get that also sometimes. They call themselves DRH for a reason, Dirty Reset Hole. The Gtablet has a internal reset button that wasn't in the design of the case. You have 2 options. Either drain the battery by connecting certain devices up to the USB port to charge them, then recharge the tablet fully before booting. Or take the back panel off and press the internal reset button. Might want to drill a hole on the back panel so that a tooth pick can handle that part later when it happens again.

I don't advice disconnecting the battery. There are others that have and start having other issues afterwards. Reset or power drain are your best options,

That is comforting to know. I'm trying a USB flash drive, a USB keyboard, and an e-Reader. Hopefully I'll see it power down sooner rather than later! Otherwise, your ROM's been great! I've accidentally formatted external SD too, instead of internal, so now my 8GB micro SD is read as 4GB, haha. I'm just all-in-all bad today -- lack of sleep.

Hell charge up those MP3 players up while your at it. If you have a USB hub just start connecting everything you have that charges USB. What happens in hours can happen in minutes. You might want to go ahead and pull your external SD out and format it back using your PC. Hard to get it back the way it was using recovery.

You da best! I've restored the original size by formatting in my camera. Is there a proper way to format micro SD storage cards in terms of cluster size? Beyond just doing a quick FAT32 format in Windows.

P.S.: Turns out the best way I had to discharge the tablet was one of those USB-powered mini lava lamps :D Finally found a good use for it...

P.P.S.: Tried Chrome Beta - super buggy with G Tablet. Slow, freezy, poorly responsive tablet. Uninstalled asap :)

Found a bug (I think):

Can't sync my google calendar. Installed the Google Calendar app / widget from Google Play, and while the app installed fine, I can't sync my gmail account with it. The account is listed, but the app takes me to the "sync" menu in Android settings, and there's an option with a checkbox to sync mail, but nothing for the calendar. Is there a functionality missing in the ROM for it to work? It'd be great to add the default Google Calendar to additional optional apps along with the default Mail app / widget, if possible!

Re: (MOD)(BL1.2ROM-CM-10)SmOoTher_BeAn_4.1.2(G-tablet)(Updated 01/05/13)

When using Chrome with the gtablet you almost have to let it settle in before hand upon startup. It works great a after that. GoogleCalendarsync.apk is not installed along with the Calender app itself. Unzip any gapps for jellybean and you can install them manually by placing the app into /system/apps followed by a reboot right after. Glad to hear that you got some use out of the mini lava lamp. :D

[G Tablet Android Development] Photoelectric:
Thank you. I was able to find and install the Mail client that way, but not having much luck with finding proper Calendar files. I've found GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk, but that doesn't help. I can't find GoogleCalendarSync.apk. Moving GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk into /system/app/ and changing permissions to rw_r__r__ and rebooting doesn't help the calendar app - just crashes it. The app works without, but no syncing is possible. Do you happen to have the proper additional apks?
[G Tablet Android Development] jhermit:
Look for Google Apps for 4.1.2. I got it from here:

[G Tablet Android Development] Photoelectric:
Thank you for that. It had some additional apps, but still can't get the calendar app to work, as I think I do need a proper set of APKs for it =/

On an unrelated note, my battery charge seems to be stuck at 96% now. Deleted battery stats in clockwork mod, but the indicator won't budge any higher. I'd like to use a Battery Calibration widget, but something's off with the charge indicator (can't use calibration until it shows 100%).
[G Tablet Android Development] JUGOMAN:
The proper APS are calendar apk and calendar provider apk. That's it.
[G Tablet Android Development] Photoelectric:
Installing Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk into /system/apk/ folder and changing permissions, followed by a reboot, results in errors. Same if I add GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk. The Calendar app does not function properly. The only way the app works so far is if I install it directly from the Play Store, but then the sync functionality is missing.

Adding GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk to /system/apk after installing the Calendar from the Play Store also gives errors and crashes.

Perhaps I just have wrong apk versions?
[G Tablet Android Development] JUGOMAN:
Remove the calendarsyncadapter.apk.. get the calendar.apk and calendar provider.apk from gapps for job 4.1.2 provided by nobe on previous post (not 4.2.1 though) Unzip gapps on computer and pick the APks you need. Then, side load onto tablet. Done There you go just rename them to apk and install.Then install google calendar sync apk. Reboot and enjoy.

Sorry for the late reply but check out the 2nd post here 2nd Post.

As for the battery icon that is normal on all ICS and JB builds. It is not in the Android System, but in the current kernel we are using. Wiping Battery Stats will not help it. There are actually some people that have there icons stay at 100% and some that stay at 0%. Those are just a handfull of devices we are aware of there might be more. Hopfully all that will change with a new boot.img update as soon as it gets released by fosser2.

Have seen a few posts about sluggishness, especially after the tablet has been in standby. Wiping cache and Davlik seems to help, but I wonder if there is a more lasting solution. I've also tried adjusting the min and max processor speeds, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Re: (MOD)(BL1.2ROM-CM-10)SmOoTher_BeAn_4.1.2(G-tablet)(Updated 01/05/13)

It all revolves around background processes that I have noticed. This ROM has that option to set the background process limit in setting/development. Best set I have used is limit 2 instead of the default limit. Unfortunately it will not survive a reboot. So when you turn it off and back on or reboot you will have to reset it every time. Working on a way to set it up during the install processes, but so far you will have to redo it on every reboot.

It is a HDMI handshake issue which I am currently investigating on. The only way for me to get my TV to display from my dock is to setup as so.

1st. Connect power and HDMI connections to dock.

2nd. Place tablet on dock, the desktop clock will show up just leave it as so.

3rd. Turn TV on and place it on proper input, then turn off TV.

4th. Connect HDMI cable to TV and turn TV on.

The TV should be able to connect to the dock and tablet and display onto set.

I finally have to ask. I flashed the latest updated in the month of January 5th. Everything is working fine except icons , the bottom bar, and all notifications are huge. How can I reduse the size of it?

I managed the icon size in apex launcher setting but, the bar stays same. It used to be small in previous zip, unless I am hallucinating all day...!

Also, my favorite app, "I media share" does not work :(..

Rest all is well , very thankful for the ROM.

Peace.
[G Tablet Android Development] AeroToxin:
I'm pretty sure it's because the LCD Density is set to 160, it might have been set to 120 for the last update. All you need to do is go into Rom Toolbox (it's included with the rom) and edit the LCD Density in the build.prop editor. Look for the line "ro.sf.lcd_density" and change it from 160 to 120. If this does not work, I'm not sure. Editing the build.prop has worked for me sometimes to change the LCD Density (has varied on different roms), and I am not a developer, so if it doesn't work I'm not sure. You can also go into Apex settings and disable the bottom bar if changing the density does not work (Just scroll down to the UI Options section and enable 'Use tablet UI mode').

Hope I helped. :)

If you don't want the bottom icon bar you can go into apex settings and set it for tablet mode. The Apex UI starts out at phone UI. Changing the density will not remove the bottom bar only changing it within the Apex setting menu.

As I'd mentioned earlier, I'm back to this ROM. Having followed all the directions to the T and installed additional Google Apps in the supplemental package, everything's been working beautifully. Day #2 so far. No SODs yet, nothing buggy, and no launcher / lockscreen issues. I'm using a 350M system partition.

Just out of curiosity, is there a way to improve touch screen sensitivity? I know it changes based on software (I followed a Transformer Prime discussion where an update caused diminished stylus sensitivity, for example), and there've been subtle differences between various ROMs. In my case, some areas are less sensitive, like for example letter "A" on on-screen keyboards is difficult to select. Harmony was a tad easier in terms of touch screen sensitivity (just not as stable :( ). Is there a calibration program that anyone could recommend or that sort of thing is hard-coded?

Ahh I knew I forgot to add something to that updated zip I posted in #2. When I get some PC time I will add that in. Figured no one used it since we have a bigger keyboard option unlike phones.

Edit. Sorry about that, but it is something I don't normally use, but yes it does work. Tested out using the Google search bar, the only thing that had the mic icon on it. The Stock Keyboard doesn't have that feature included since what I think it is built from source as a Tablet Keyboard. You can try other Keyboards and see if they have this option. You might want to try out Hacker Keyboard from the PlayStore. That is the only one I have used so far that has the mic icon avaible on it.

Thanks in Advance.

Hrm, well, there are 2 Search widgets - one doesn't have the voice option and only allows for text input via keyboard, and the one that does have a microphone icon results in a "Search has stopped working." error.
