Will this one work with the "stuck at three-birds" tablets that currently fail to boot any of the nobeROMs?
[G Tablet Android Development] oogravyoo:
having an issue with bluetooth losing sound.. the connection is still there to control but there is no audio. this happens at random intervals. turning BT off/on fixes it temporarily.

any ideas??
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
Id defer that question to fosser, my impression is that those issues are bootloader issues, not kernel. I AM NOT THE DEV AT ALL FOR THE KERNEL, so I dont want to mislead anyone, but I tested it, and when overclocked to 1.4 I got some insane results, like flawless playing of dark knight rises, nba2k13, and NFS most wanted. that need for speed also plays well with the current kernel, bada$$ game.

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------

have you already applied the audio fix in the OP?
[G Tablet Android Development] oogravyoo:
No I did not.. I thought that was for the original release f the rom and included in the newer releases..

I will give that a try..
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Yeah the links are still posted as "Not included in ROM" as of right now. Working on Black and also some Memory control tweaks. Once I get all things put together I will update both ROM's. :D
[G Tablet Android Development] tenet420:
Thanks for the feedback. I read in another thread here that if you swap the kernel from an early DirtyBean build (like the 3.5 version) then you would be able to boot, but there would still be some issues.

I can't figure it out, makes no sense. A bootloader issue makes even less sense.
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
Just to clear a couple things up......firstly, the issue isn't my build, or any of nobes' mods or tweaks. The 3 birds issue is universal, if you look at the poll on slatedroid for dirty bean, the three birds issue affects i think 9 percent of gtabbers who tried. So, I won't tell someone to go ahead and swap kernels, it will work, cause it might and it might not.

Secondly, the kernel is the same, changes are in ramdisk for compcache/swap space/zram, these improve things but don't affect boot.

Third, some people succeed using kernel from ICS, which still is mostly the same as current, no logical reason for this, just luck.

Fourth, considering there is ZERO support from view sonic, and only HW video support from Nvidia, fosser has it harder than ANYONE else on XDA, they all get OEM support. 91 percent success is a MIRACLE!!!!

Last.....some people have had luck changing boot loaders.....search for this.......BUT.......if u want to try kernel swap........delete boot.IMG from ROM ZIP, replace...........then "toggle signature" in recovery to flash.
[G Tablet Android Development] tenet420:
Lol, thanks for responding. I actually go to school with Fosser so I guess I'm just gonna have to track him down and see if a beer in hand (or whatever) can get things moving forward.

I know that the problem with the birds hanging is universal, I've had my tab since well before the woot sale, so this ain't my first day at the rodeo.

I've tried swapping kernels, bootloaders, and utilizing multiple system partition sizes. I've examined logs, flashed and reflashed and still, no go.

The only reason I haven't ditched this hunk of tech is because of the devs here that work so hard - I know that, you're preaching to the choir. However, the ROM I use is not supported by anyone here anymore, and is running a pershoot kernel. I'm just trying to play with the newer ROMs.

Like I said, the problem is hella odd. I didn't say "The problem is so-and-so's build". CTFO

[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Alright everyone clean it up, LMFAO, SIIC, WGAF whatever. :p
[G Tablet Android Development] lartomar2002:
Huh!?
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
yeah its not the first time, I guess I just do that sometimes. I really wanted to just let people know how easy it is to try a diff kernel, and which ones might work. If you are stuck on Froyo, I think JB could run with that kernel, but no HW accel, and maybe not a couple of other things. I can confirm that some people are using that low of a kernel, but for our device it would be lacking. I wonder if the new kernel would make a difference.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Just had to throw in the curve ball and confuse everyone. :rolleyes:

I think the new kernel would make a great difference. Since TJ has a new realease with a different kernel I am going to rape it and tear it open to see what settings are in there. When I first loaded it I thought that something was wrong since the boot image didn't flash like normal. After reboot same thing and now that I have a full battery I think I am going to apply fossers to see what it can do.

[G Tablet Android Development] Yamagushi:
This rom changed my boot splash screen and messed up being able to return to stock. I don't like that it changes the boot screen. After installing this rom, removing it with a factory reset was unsuccessful and no longer seemed to work, I had to fix it with NVFlash. Just a heads up for everyone else.
[G Tablet Android Development] JEZZEJAMEZ:
I don't know if it's kernel related. Most gtablet have issues reading proper battery status. Min fully charged is at best 96%. Refresh battery stats.

Edit+ yamaguhi we are happy these guys share their hard work with us. When flashing any rom you are subjectd to what ever the OP likes. If you're not happy with the build modify it to your liking. If you are not sure how to get it back. I suggest Google search. What do you mean it messed up being able to flash to stock. I think the choice of words are very poor.

I'm very pleased with the hard work the OP has done. Maybe asking for some advise would net you better results.. Just my. 02¢
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
First off read the OP before flashing. Its called a disclaimer. What you do with your **** is what you have to fix.

Secondly why support Viewsonic by keeping there stock splash screen. They don't show there customers any support for updated firmware like other devices. If you want it back just NVflash it back in. It is partition 6 in all of the stock NVflash files. Simple fix even a child could do it.

Wiping your device over and over again will not clear out your partition table. Only NVflash will also stated in the OP is to learn how to fix your **** before treading useless remarks about people willing to support your device. thatisall
[G Tablet Android Development] Yamagushi:
Then go with the Android boot screen, the current one is hideous and unprofessional looking. As for NVFlash, I shouldn't have to resort to using it because of a flawed ROM. I also have issues with this ROM's touch, around the edges of the screen don't detect touch half of the time. Learn to take criticism.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:

I wish I had the internal knowledge to contribute more tweaks. I am very thankful for their work. Sure my machine lags once in awhile, but why the H*** would anyone complain about the splash screen? Hopefully, we don't even have to look at that much unless we are reflashing an update. :)

I am on smoothbean 4.1.2 since three days. I have used it for upto 4 hours straight in a single sitting. I always shut down the tablet after using it and when I know I won't be using it for at least a couple of hours. (Just read it in this thread only.)

In this way everything is working very well so far. A reboot is taking about 20-40 seconds and i am fine with that.

I am really happy with the performance of this ROM.

Btw, I want to ask that why the audio effects are not working and sound effects option doesn't show in settings even after installing equalizer apps.
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
Try this.

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

I have to agree with the poster on this. Custom-ROM installs shouldn't do non-essential things lke overwriting a user's boot splash screen without his permission. Replacing eye-candy like that is best done later if the user wants to: You can very easily script it out or do it on the command line:

$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]flash_image bootbmp [I]/SOME/PATH/[/I]somefile.bmp[/B]

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

Yup. I have to agree with this too...

Yet again, I have to agree.
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
Its not that the birds are ugly and hard to look at, it is a psycological thing. We are all so emotionally distraught by the viewsonic corporation, because they took 3 or 4 hundred dollars of our money and then immediately act like it never happened, like they never built the gtablet. They never supported us.........EVER. So, sticking the birds in our face is like a jewish prisoner from WW2 having to stare at a swastika 20 years later. well, not really, but you know what I mean.

I feel ya on the criticism though. I can take it......I spent over twenty hours on builds trying to make a PA rom just so I can play NBA JAM, and someone posts on my dev-host link "newbie:learning"

and yet they wont post here with their name behind it.....but thats OK by me, Im playing dark knight rises, nba jam, gt racing, NFS most wanted, dead space, mass effect, any game I want.... Just because some people are stupid and wont go read what PA is and how to set it up doesnt bother me a bit, I know what it can do.

Im sure nobe knows what this rom can do tooo, but he spends a lot of time on it, and just cant believe someone misses those DAMN birds.

I cannot even imagine how fosser feels, I use him like he is my OEM support, he put his kernel together from scratch. And yet, people post some sorry stuff on slatedroid, like "hey I gave you a few dollars and now youre not gonna update, I can see the writing on the wall" as if Fosser works for viewsonic, I mean this is CRAZY!!!! The only thing that bugs me is we all do this for free.....for free....and if you dont like what we did, go back to tap n tap!!!!

You can post bugs and errors and we always try to help, but just to post that you hate not having the boot image, after you didnt read in the first place that it would be changed and that you are flashing a "custom" rom......at your own risk......well to me this isnt criticism. its more like douchebaggery.

awesome ROM

Very nice ROM. Loaded last night without issue.

So far its stable and very fast.

One question:

As with ICS, HDMI audio out still does not work.

Anyone have any luck getting that to work?

Thanks OP.

EDIT: One more question: I cant get icon labels to appear. In NOVA settings / desktop, I've tried checked and unchecking, but icon labels still do not show. Any suggestions?
[G Tablet Android Development] tallsilver:
Browser??

On every ROM I've tried, including this one, the browser is always glitchy! One time everything loads quickly and smoothly, the next time or page, does a start stop routine. I've tried Chrome, installed browser, Dolphin, and Opera. All do the same.

Just wondering if this is a hardware problem, modem problem, or just a Gtab problem?
[G Tablet Android Development] dsrhokie:
This may be a fluke, but when I got my BT audio working (see my steps a few pages back) my HDMI audio started working for the first time since Froyo. I make no claims that this will work for anyone else and all standard disclaimers apply. Good luck.

Dave
[G Tablet Android Development] s9amme:
check your grid on the launcher settings. sometimes if its too tight (i.e.-10x10), the icon labels won't show up. try something more relaxed like 4x6 or something like that, then adjust it from there.
[G Tablet Android Development] jaymaj:
FIXED!

Thank you! That was exactly the issue. It didn't like 8x8. 7x7 works perfectly.

...Dave, thanks for the tip on the audio. I'll play around wih that tonight. Made the change already.

USB Help!

Ok, the ROM is running great, however, I can't access my tablet after the update. I've tried the nvflash usb drivers to no avail. I can access apx mode but just can't recognize it to transfer files from my computer.

When I plug it in, I get the connection sound, no pop ups and the tablet says "connected as a media device". But, in the device manager there is no driver for the mtp?????

Any ideas.

Edit: After lots of digging I found out how on the dhr site. So simple when you know what to do!!
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
I couldn't get mtp to ever work for me using both Win XP or Ubuntu 11.10. To transfer files I just go ahead and use my usb memory stick and transfer that way or use CWM recovery.
[G Tablet Android Development] tallsilver:
Open device manager

right click the mtp!

update driver

choose for list on computer

click all devices

choose standard mtp

ignore warning at yes

Think this was the steps......

Can wallpaper be changed? When I try, I get an error saying there is no apk to perform this function!! On my phone, I usually get the option to use gallery or RomTools.

I DID delete some apps I don't use with 7zip before installing but I don't think I removed something like that.

EDIT: QuickPic did the trick
[G Tablet Android Development] tallsilver:
Looking good

Finally got the Gtab looking like I want it to!!

Now if I can just get the browser working smoothly, I'll be set.

Thanks for your great ROM.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
You can change the Wallpaper simply by opening up ES file browser finding the image and opening it. ES has there own image viewer that will allow you to crop the image and apply it as your wallpaper.

As for MTP been there done that. My Windows machine didn't have the option for "standard MTP". I tryed those same steps before when DRH released there beta versions and gave up on it. It is funny how Ubuntu doesn't recognize MTP, but when I select camera mode it pops right up on my display.:rolleyes:
[G Tablet Android Development] tallsilver:
Thanks. Always use romtools. Will play wiith ES.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
I tryed romtoolbox and I just couldn't stand the adds. That's is why I will always use ES.

Now that is how it is done.

Constructive objective criticism is always welcome but subjective criticism is not. I can almost feel the "distaste" in the way the post was written. Especially when the poster injects terms like "hideous". If the poster disliked the screen so much why didn't he/she just ask how to change it.IMHO
[G Tablet Android Development] JUGOMAN:
If the user liked the birds so much, he could just Nvflash stock TNT, and go from there. I believe it is clearly understood, at least by most, that flashing any Rom is a personal decision. All of those who have created this Roms for Viewsonic's forgotten child, are just wonderful people, and this development is done for the "love of the art" (for free). So, no one has the right to bash, insult or demean the work being done. There is always a disclaimer on all custom Roms, regardless of device. So.... Grow up
[G Tablet Android Development] Yamagushi:
I was a bit hyper-critical in my previous post about this ROM. Was just a stressful day when I replied and I apologize for the issue. The ROM runs well, just stressed me when it wouldn't factory reset as I didn't realize how easy fixing it with NVFlash was. Nobe and TJohnson should combine forces for a ROM. Both work great, I'd be curious what you guys could do in a combination of efforts.

First off, thanks for a great ROM and easy instructions. Everything went off without a hitch. All the normal apps are working great, and I'm glad to get the Chrome browser.

My problem is with some games I installed. Has anyone loaded Doodle Jump or Space Cat? I can't get more than a couple of seconds into the game without having a full lock up. First the sound stops, then just after that I get a total freeze. Holding the power button in for a few seconds will reboot the machine, but every time I try to play these games I get the same problem.
