After using SmOoTh_BeAn for about 4 hours last night and another 4 hours this morning, I am only experiencing one unexpected problem:

Often, but not

all

of the time, my Gmail unexpectedly closes, with no error message. It happens when I click a message header in folder view in order to actually read it. At that point, it starts to load the message, then simply closes with no error message of any kind.

It's odd, because it seems like it is intermittent. Throughout the day today, I am going to see if I can try and pinpoint whether it happens only after I've been using other apps, or all of the time.

Is anyone else experiencing this at all? I have not changed anything in terms of OC settings or anything else...

occasional freeze and SOD

I am very liking this ROM so far. very snappy and no lag so far.

I download netflix and it rebooted self. Then after the reboot i watched netfilx for 2 hrs and worked fine. Then I downloaded dropbox and it went SOD so I had to wait whole nite for battery to drain. I used to have this problem with DRH 5.3 and some random application. Is it the problem with the kernel and app incompatibility. This SOD is pretty pain and don't want to wait all night for battery to drain. I am thinking about drilling the reset hole.

Hopefully someone can shed some lights on this. I can handle random reboot, but SOD is just a pain without reset button.
[G Tablet Android Development] djrakun:
I had an sod on black bean two days ago. Never figured out what caused it. Just went to sleep and never woke up. Ill keep an eye on what i installed
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
There an app for that. Its called CPU Sleeper. Its pre-installed and in the OP.
[G Tablet Android Development] lopax53186:
hi nobe1976,

Does this app help me for my SOD problem. if yes how.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
What the App does is it turns off 1 CPU when in sleep mode instead of having both running allowing the processes in the background to only use the single processor to work off of. The Developer of the App goes through it a lot more on Google Play. Its a long processes to explain, but our processors are not designed to both work during sleep. Which end results is SOD.

[G Tablet Android Development] djrakun:
I have that app set to auto start on reboot, both times. Does toying with cpu min and max frequencies cause kp in conjunction with this? By habit i change the min freq to 312 mhz, because i used to sod on earlier roms without this. I akso oc to 1200mhz, but i think that's typical amongst gtabbers so i wouldnt think that'd be related
[G Tablet Android Development] JEZZEJAMEZ:
I have had really good luck with 400 range for min and 1200 max interactive should be the governor.

Set and reboot. I also scale back all animation. . 5

updated to latest version, running really nicely.

I used to use cifsmanager to mount samba shares back in gingerbread, I recall I had to add a module (cifs.ko) to the kernel for it to be able to do samba... is that available for this kernel somewhere?

How to upgrade?

I rooted my Viewsonic G Tablet about 2 years ago to CMW v2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 & installed TNT

I now want to install BL1.2ROM-CM-10)SmOoTh_BeAn_4.1.1

Requirements:

You must be on BL 1.2 and have a 250mb System partition with CWM ver. 5.5.0.4

How do I upgrade CWM?

How do I install BL 1.2?

How do I have a 250mb System Partition?

Thanks in advance!

Just install the "Link for NVFlash package to set System to 250m" NV Flash package first with NV Flash, then install the rom. The NV Flash package will take care of all your how do I's :)
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:

Two issues...

I've been running 1.3.2 (160 dpi) for a few days now and I have had two issues:

1) On occasion the hardware buttons stop working. I have not found a pattern as to what causes it, but if it wasn't for button savior, I'd be dead in the water. Anyone else have this?

2) A game - Call of Atlantis (freebie from Amazon a few days back) will just return to the home screen. This usually happens during a game transition - finished one level, and is supposed to move to the next level.

On the brightside, I am finally able to run Words with Friends, but only in portrait mode.

Browser experience is much better on this version. And again, I don't miss the birds.
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
1_ all GTAB roms for JB have this bug, but turn screen off then on all u need to do.

2_change your dpi to 140.

I WILL port paranoid android, we need the per app dpi, and I am working on it.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Man I was hoping someone would take on that challenge. Can not wait.

Update about current fixes:

Just got done watching over an hour of Cowboys vs Aliens via HBO go with just the normal buffering drag. Crystal clear streaming and that was all I could stand watching. Screen locks normal currently without hesitation. Will do further test with a good old fav. Angry Birds in Space. Unfortunately OC to 1200 will kill the out come a little bit, not by much but it will.

Flash Player is currently and may never be supported using Jellybean roms. There are work around just do some google search.

Very nice... getting to be pretty darn smooth :)
[G Tablet Android Development] ErockGineer:
Hey all, was hoping for just a few minutes of your time for a little assistance. I heavily use my Gtab, its one of my ultimate daily tools in the lab and the work that you guys put into the ROMS for this thing just makes me smile every time I turn it on. With that being said I'm ready to make a jump into JellyBean and I've chosen SmoothBean as my go to ROM.

I live by the "if its not broke don't fix it" rule and so for the last year I've been running Flashback Reunion on my Gtab with ClockworkMod 3.xx version. So from reading all the threads of this ROM I know I have some work to do to make it work. From what I can tell the major things I must do are: Upgrade CWM to the 5.xx version, Flash the new batch to give me a 250 MB system partition, and then install the ROM as normal.

I can't seem to find any instructions for updating my CWM from the old @$$ version 3.xx that I'm using to the new one. Or does the batch that is in the OP of this thread take care of that along with upgrading my partition to the 250 MB. I appreciate the advise.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Yes everything you need is in the 0P to set the 250 system partition and upgrade recovery systems.

X2 ya beat me to nobe as usual.
[G Tablet Android Development] captainlovesac:
I am not directing this at the developer of this rom, this is a problem i always have with my g-tab, just curious if anyone else has seen it.

This rom and pretty much every rom i have used since i made the jump from froyo has been terribly laggy for me. I read that people say it has no lag, i want a little more detail. Apps will hang for several seconds on launch, chrome is almost unusable it's soo slow. Every thing i tap takes time to load.

I understand that i reap the benefits of the work that the community does for free, and i am not saying that they don't do a good job, i just want to know what people mean when they say it has little to no lag.

EDIT : for example, launching the play store after a reboot takes over 10 seconds.
[G Tablet Android Development] orest:
I have had similar experiences as you. I noticed that it is very laggy at startup and generally when using browsers. The best browser for me has been Dolphin for pads. As an FYI, I have an Acer Iconia A100, which is running ICS and has similar hardware. On benchmarks it is 10 to 20% slower than this ROM, but is not laggy.

Regardless much thanks to people working on this ROM as I really appreciate their efforts.
[G Tablet Android Development] ssmr2t:
great ROM thus far! Only issues I notice is choppiness.... Not like 10 seconds to launch app store.. but its definitely choppy at times.

USB driver

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. I installed the ROM and update on my G-Tab and all is well. However, I cannot seem to get the PC to see the Tablet. I have USB Debugging checked, but it just won't load the USB drivers. When I go into device manager it shows MTP driver not loaded. I've searched the net and cannot find a solution.

Any help will be appreciated.

Try 132 dpi

Changed my rez to 132 as suggested on the black bean side and it restored the soft buttons, and Words still works (it did not at 140 or 120, but did at 160), but it is locked into the phone (portrait) orientation - difficult to play sideways ;)

Chrome seems better on 1.3.2 (with update). It seems that a good browser experience can make a lot of difference, I just have not found one that works consistently yet (but neither does my stock Droid 2 phone - so may be it is just an android thing?)

Quick question about this Rom. I am currently on Team DRH ICS 1.3.

I had a quick read on that rom that it required a 250mb partition which I am pretty sure I did otherwise it would not have installed. Is it safe to say that if I am running the Team DRH ROM that I can wipe and install this without the need for NVflash?

OK, just double checked the NVFlash file in the first post is the same one I used when installing ICS on my GTAB.

Just want to double check I am good to go.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Last time I checked DB required a 350mb system partition, but the reason for this one is just setting a minimum set level on system partition size. When this project began I had it down to where it could load and run on a 200mb system. The additional boot image, changing the Play Store app to a standard one actually added more to the system. It is currently just a few megabits over 200 and Black Jellybean is still lower then 200 but not by much. The darker themed parts are the reason it is smaller. So if you are currently running the DB setup just a word of advise is to manually wipe user data, cache, dalvic, and please partition the internal to the 4096/0 as recommended. Thanks in advance.

Sent from The Smoothside via Me.
[G Tablet Android Development] kaneelias:
Thanks for the quick response. I was planning on doing all your steps except the NVFlash one as the system partition is already at 250MB (which was required) for DRH ICS. I will clear everything, repartition cards and let you know how I go.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Sorry for such a late response, texting and driving is never fun. The Browser that I have always good experience with is Opera. Light weight and doesn't have the restrictions like other ICS or Jellybean browsers. I use it on a daily bases, the only time I use Chrome is when I am browsing light weight websites.

I just reload my tab using the latest 4.1.3 build. It seems to be much faster than the previous build. I really enjoy it so far. Thanks for the great build to make the G-tablet worth keeping.

I just have one question about playing mkv files. On the previous build, the mkv files play very well using the ICS movies player. On this version, the movie plays very choppy. I load MX Player and it also play choppy too. Is there any setting that I can change or adjust to fix this issue?
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
I will have to look into that. Don't really watch anything unless I am streaming something.
[G Tablet Android Development] kaneelias:
Love this ROM, silky smooth.

Can someone tell me how to remove the little arrow on the right hand side of the screen that when pressed provides different dock options?
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
That arrow is actually the App Button Savor. If you are using 120 dpi there really isn't a use for it since the soft keys are visible. You can open the app in the drawer and turn it off. Advise keeping it just in case you decide to change the DPI settings. If you are using 160 DPI then keep it active. The hardware buttons sometimes don't work so that is why it is there. Just looking out for Ya.
[G Tablet Android Development] kaneelias:
Ok, cheers for the reply. I am actually running 130 DPI and find it a little distracting.

I can see the benefits of it though.

Stuck in NVFlash

Not a good start, moving up from DRH ICS to SmoothBean.

I wanted to double check that my partition was correct, per the OP.

Booted the GTab into APX mode

download the NVFlash image referenced in the first post.

Connected the GTab to my PC with no problems. Shows up as APX mode under USB device

Ran the batch file

Screen on gTab says Entering NVFlash recovery mode

PC loaded all the images to the gTab

Batch job prompted me to exit, did not see any errors

Unplugged gTab and pressed and held power button. Nothing happened, stuck on Entering NVFlash on gTab screen

I can replug into PC and it will reconnect as APX device.

Tried:

Reloading the USB driver (windows says it is the same as I have)

Rerunning the NVFlash command. It just hangs

Push and Hold power with +

Push and Hold power with -

Have NOT Tried

Reset button.

Any suggestions?
[G Tablet Android Development] Tester30:
I just got my Gtab to BlackBean.. Instructions are the same.

Make sure you follow everything by the letter.

D/load the NVflash full.... at 1st op.

Connect the tab get to APX mode (power/volume -)

Check the USB hub under device manager, you might see a triangle with ! sign. In that case you have to load the USB drivers that are located in the RAR file you D/loaded. RAR has to be extracted for it to work.

Go to Device manager click on APX icon and update USB driver. Location going to be where you extracted the RAR.

After that run NVFlash_gTablet batch file Your system should be partitioned to 250 with CWM 5.5.0.4 installed.

Boot into CWM, go to advanced, format internal to 2048/0 then to 4096/0.

Load the ROM on the internal storage.

Boot into recovery, select install file from ZIP, select the ROM and wait till it runs.....

Allow 10 - 15 min to settle.. Enjoy the ride!!!! LOL

Hope it helps.

[G Tablet Android Development] brooksbradley:
To clarify. I performed the steps as I listed above, not a plan of what I was going to do, but what I did.

Unfortunately I am now stuck in nvflash mode. The tablet will not power off. I am going to wait for the battery to drain. Hopefully that will clear it up or allow me to reboot back to apx mode where I can reflash.

Thanks for the help

This happens to me every time. You'll be fine after you battery drain.

Couple of quick questions, when I connect this to my PC it shows up as a "Team DRH" device, no biggie but just wanted to know if that was normal as it was the last ROM I cam from.

Also, is there any setting or Mod anyone knows of that will allow me to see the battery percentage in the task bar at the bottom?
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
When connecting up to your PC it will state that because that is what the ROM is. Like stated in the OP this is DRH Dirty Bean ROM which is modified to to perform right from the get go. The battery mod will come is due time. Working on a 1% mod to add to this.

I use Opera Mobile on all my Android devices. I tried Mini for around UHH I think 10 secs and said no don't like to much like the UI they offer Iphone. Opera still supports flash on Jelly Bean it is just that when loading Adobe Flash on Jelly Bean that is where everything goes high wire. There are work around to getting Flash to work, but I cannot do everything for you that is where Google is your Friend.
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
Sooo true. Stock browser gives the best flash performance, although "performance" isn't the right word for it.

I compare it to this situation:

After official releases of honeycomb, ICS, and jellybean, 6 out of 10 devices still use gingerbread.

After html5 being around for a while, and flash never being supported by Apple, 90 percent of media on websites is still Flash based, and not yet HTML5.

The problem is not our gtabs, we are ahead on this. the problem is companies like MOTOrola and HTC who make hardware, and try to do software, while companies like APPLE/GOOGLE who do software and try to build hardware.

Plus, they all think that 4 dollar a day chinese slaves can do it as well as people who actually have basic human rights. There is NO MANUFACTURER in a hurry to please consumers, they are all trying to please investors, and themselves. WHy should they get into any hurry

to upgrade support when they are all in the same state of being behind the curve???

So, please do not think that our gtabs will do flash worse than any other tablet, because I have personally used a nexus 7, and a tf101, and an iconia a500. They all do just as poorly with flash. Our gtabs, on the other hand, actually outperform most devices using HTML5, and are patiently waiting for the chinese, uuhhhmerican companies to get a clue.
