Are you using 250 or 350nvflash?

Also I find that shutting off and turning back on can fix a lot of things if gtab has a hiccup that sticks or there is something not working up to potential. My .02

[G Tablet Android Development] richardtribes:
i am using 250mb nvflash and also tried shutting it down, in this moment i m making it through the setup after a fresh install. then will install bott image zip and then try things again
[G Tablet Android Development] dnlnnhs:
slick!

Updated to 1.4.2 with latest boot.img and this thing is fast from the very start! Great job!

I had two issues. First, I still can't get Six Guns to run. It installs, then just disappears right after "Verifying files". It never ran on anything else either, so I guess that is no loss. Second, Words with Friends installed, but was so small it was unplayable - locked in tablet mode, even if I turned the device, it wouldn't rotate. I don't know what made me think of it, but I uninstalled it and re-installed it from the Amazon App Store, and it works in Phone mode!

Thanks for all the hard work! Awesome job!
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
It is due to the fact that I used minimal gapps so we all can enjoy this on a 250m partition. It looks like that I left out the NetworkLocation.apk out of it. You should be able to unzip any gapps and grab it and place it in system/apps and place proper permission and reboot. That should take care of that bug.

I'm having trouble flashing this rom. I was on the last version and when I went to flash this I got a "status 7" error message. I tried both the regular and inverted versions. I went through and reformatted the system and reset the partition. The error message also says something about build.props. So for now I flashed blackerJellybean which booted no problem.

usb drives

Can mount thumb drives well up to 64 gb. Can mount a 500go flex drive on DRH's JB but not in Smoothbean. ??
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
That is strange since we are all using the same vold.fstab settings?

I know my 16gig flash drive mounts just fine.
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
with Six guns, you can use version 1.0.3 or 1.0.6 and they should work. The latest updates, for GAMELOFT games, if you read reviews you will find that LOTS of JB users are having the same crash. It is gamelofts fault!! Im not 100 percent because Im still figuring game settings for PA, but I will do some game tests for this ROM in the next couple days. Trying to sort out what works with what.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
What device are you trying to load it on?
[G Tablet Android Development] bsinc1962:
My g tablet.

I'm posting this from my phone because I went out for a while it charges.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
The only reason I am asking is because G Tablet ROMs can load on other devices and if I changed something in the updated 1.4.2 preventing that to happen I would like to know what I did. MMMMMMM try loading a different ROM so that CW recovery can clear out its memory or NVFlash again. Yes I have noticed a small issue with CWM 5504 using the same updater script after I changed minor things in it and got that same issue. I end up loading a different ROM that uses a different update binary code to clear it out or NVFlash recovery all over.
[G Tablet Android Development] JUGOMAN:
I know.. Weird but the 500 gb drive is not even detected. Seems to power well though. As noted, 64gb pen drive works well.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
If it is portable 500 gb drive that pulls its power also off of the USB it could be a power issue not allowing it to run. If it has a way to add a external source to use as power then it might just work (ex. a external powered USB HUB connected to a alternate power source).
[G Tablet Android Development] JUGOMAN:
As noted, it is powered by the usb. Works well on Drh Jb but not on Smoothbean. Might be a 4.1.2 issue.
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
you can try "usb mass storage watcher"

I use paragon ntfs, works good on ntfs.

I always use that format for faster file moves, so I dont have a fat32 big enough to try.
[G Tablet Android Development] JUGOMAN:
It's a no go. Drive is NTFS formatted. Have ,also, tried Stick Mount, which I use on the DRH Jb tab( works just fine). If the kernel is the same on both Roms ( Smoothbean and DRH JB ), the it must be the OS ( 4.1.2 vs 4.1.1) Just trying to point a difference. Also, I was able to use the drive with Ics, so..... It is really, no biggie for me, since still running Drh on another tab; I can watch my videos.
[G Tablet Android Development] alfenneo:
what is this PARANOID ???
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
Well, let me flash this rom and ill see whats up. paragon is working great on PA. same kernel, same device tree, it should work on this.

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

paranoid android, not as fast as this but it can do phone,phablet, or tablet. phone and phablet put the status bar on top. Phablet also puts softkeys across the bottom.

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

Just flashed newest smoothbean, installed paragon ntfs 1.10. I then opened it, plugged in 1tb ext hard drive and mounted it successfully. In the included file explorer, as well as the newest solid explorer, the drive showed up. Tested for read/write, both functional. Drive is NTFS format, and showed up under /mnt/usbdisk
[G Tablet Android Development] JUGOMAN:
Paragon does not work, either.
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
read my last post, R U looking under /mnt/usbdisk? or does paragon flat out tell you it failed.
[G Tablet Android Development] JUGOMAN:
Does not detect anything mounted
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
you can try wiping dalvik in recovery and trying again, but something seems borked. You may have to wipe, then individually format the /system under mounts and storage, then wipe dalvik again, and reflash.
[G Tablet Android Development] JUGOMAN:
Did do. Running on 350 system partition. I am just wondering. Again, for me is no biggie. Maybe i am the onlyone with the "problem". The tab is running fantastic, otherwise.
[G Tablet Android Development] tempests:
Agreed, after loading the new boot image, there was a vast speed increase. THANK YOU!:good::good::good:

In my case play market result in errer after every download try. How to repair this?

Edit: sorry - deleting and adding again account solved problem
[G Tablet Android Development] lekhwani:
Will try tomorrow.
[G Tablet Android Development] generosity21:
Looks awesome, I'm super excited to try this out tonight!

If I'm coming from DRH's Dirty Bean 5.3 with the required 350 system partition, do I need to do anything other than NVFlashing the package in the OP here? Nobe's post yesterday made it sound like there might be more complications with backing down from 350 to 250 than there was when increasing. I'm guessing a lot of the folks coming to this ROM will be coming from Dirty Bean with the 350 system partition.

Dirty Bean was a great start, but the performance issues made it unusable for me (lagging and freezing almost constantly). Hope this can do the job, looks promising! Thanks!!
[G Tablet Android Development] blaze1tx:
Thanks for the quick reply!

So OC to 1.2 in the settings/performance... or we using cpumaster type app? I was hoping to overclock to 1.5 again cause it ran stable for me all day on beastly rom with c&c kernel!

:cyclops: Im also seeing that after 2 reboots it is smoothing out!

Thanks again!
[G Tablet Android Development] JEZZEJAMEZ:
Ya leave it on for a while and let dalvik build.

Unfortunately we can juat oc to 1.2 im using cpu and system tuner.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
This is the "Fat free" version of Dirty Bean as posted in the OP. The reason behind this is that JB was only avaible if you expanded your System to 350m. This version was created to work on a 250m System so that if you ever decided to change to a different ROM you didn't have to NVFlash your System back to 250. The one thing that I would advise before your transition back to a 250m System is that you wipe everything in current CWR before NVFlashing. That way nothing is left that might affect the goodness.

Everything having to do with OC should be done with what ever app you want to use. If you use a app to do it for you just remember not to make any adjustment in the performance setting since the alternative app is doing the job.

It doesn't take that long for dalvik to build on this ROM. It is using a little special goodness that fosser2 allowed in the kernel. Use terminal and enter in "free" and you will see what I mean.

@nobe1976

Is there any solution for people that are stuck on "three birds screen, black screen flash, three birds screen"? I have tried over and over to install and never get past "three birds screen, black screen flash, three birds screen".

Thank you.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Yeah unfortunately like all ICS and JB ROMs there is still that chance of SOD when connected USB and it goes into standby mode. The only thing I could suggest is to drill that nice little addition that they forgot to add during manufacturing these devices. That way all you need to do is run down that tooth pick and be up and running again.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
I am currently working on it with a guy that has the same issue. When we locate a solution I will post it in the 2nd post on the first page. Download the ROM while the server is live and check back.

Updated 2nd post with Questions for those that have this same issue.
[G Tablet Android Development] pc2828:
Great rom, thank you! Btw Netflix not working for me, anyone else?
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
You may have to find an older App and sideload it. I never used Netflix but I have read some where that was a solution.
[G Tablet Android Development] jlh11364:
Great ROM

this is a great ROM. Any slowdowns are a result of the hardware, not the ROM. This is smoother thatn ICS either yours or the others. Very smooth. Great JOB!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] s9amme:
netflix is working for me. Using the latest version from the marke... err.. play store
[G Tablet Android Development] tallsilver:
Nice

Trying yours out now! Installation was a snap, and so far, running very smooth. I'm using Holo HD. Seems to be smoother for me.

Thanks for your work.

Edit: Are there any themes for the theme manager?? I tried cobalt crimson (my favorite) but gives "compiling error". Will these not work? If not, should the theme manager be removed.........just curious. BTW, I'm using 160 dpi, if that matters.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
The theme manager is for themes from the Play Store. The theme you are using is probably for a different device. Framwork differences can be a pain. Post the link on where you got it from and I will look into it.
[G Tablet Android Development] tallsilver:
It is from the play store. Search for Cobalt Themes.............it is Cobalt Crimson. Directions say it if for HDPI and XHDPI only. Not sure what that means but if it can be made to work..........GREAT!!

It's my GAMECOCK's colors!! :highfive: See screenshot below!

Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
All right got home and filled my belly. Went ahead and downloaded the theme from google play and applyed the theme. I am running 120dpi so it does work on that. If I get edgy enough to change the build.prop to 160dpi later I will see if the theme still sticks. Great choice by the way. :o
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
just flashed this to try it out. the youtube app buffers constantly and crashes when you change the volume while watching a video. upgrading to 4.0.23 fixes both these problems.

I had installed the 120 version. I kept getting an error as I tried to save the edit. For me the fix and it didn't work. I then reloaded the 160 version and that worked great. Maybe I didn't do everything correctly on the build.prop?
[G Tablet Android Development] MechAniX.one:
Should we uninstall no frills after installing new boot.img

P.S. - i fixed my issues i was having at first. Everything is running lightning fast. I dare say this feels VeganTab stable and fast. I am so very happy. Thank you for your work.
[G Tablet Android Development] JUGOMAN:
Faster after boot IMG update. Zram tweaks are gone or set at a fixed value now?
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
It will build backup it just takes a bit.

Sent from The Darkside via Me...
[G Tablet Android Development] JUGOMAN:
My question has to do with the fact that you could set the zram value under settings/performance/memory before. The option to do so, is now gone.
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
zram is set with an init.d script. It is set with good settings already, but you should be able to adjust in system/etc/init.d/

correction: look in /system/bin/compcache
[G Tablet Android Development] JUGOMAN:
The settings you set, seem to be just perfect. Tab is fast and stable, so... I am not going to touch anything. I am just, always, curious. Trying to learn.
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
Credit belongs to plastikman I believe on that one.

Curious...you did try a different USB cable with your hard drive ??
[G Tablet Android Development] JUGOMAN:
Yes, I have. It seems that the power being delivered to the USB , is, for some reason, lower running Smoother Bean than it is on Drh Jb. Maybe, it is just this particular table,t yet I was running ICS on it, and was able to connect the drive, just fine, then.

On another note, I must compliment nobe1976 and gang, for keeping the hope alive on this project. The Fossman is tied up with the 3.1 kernel. My interest would have died, were it not for you guys. So, thank you, very, very much. And yes.... Android is in fact, an addiction.
[G Tablet Android Development] ElBow513:
I second your thanks! The gtab was my first android and I knew nothing, and a year later I've flashed everything out there and learned to tinker. I'd like to further my knowledge of programming and tinkering. Any tips on where to get started on learning the inner workings of android and maybe one day becoming a dev?
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
For Starters learn Linux based OS. Ubuntu is my flavor, but there are different ones that accommodate one uses it for. I am basically what you call tinker and I like to Kang other builds and make them the way I think that they should work. There are always hurdles that hit your way on the stuff that I do. If I had a 64 bit computer I might just start compiling my own stuff, but I am limited right now on what I can do. I would definitly start with Linux first hand and get use to the way it acts then work from there. :D
[G Tablet Android Development] n2thecloud:
OK this is The BEST g tablet rom since ... EVER! And I have flashed every one since day one. Thanks to all that went before. Remember Robeet anyone? Amazing job nobe1976. So smooth and stable. This is like going to the moon for the g tab. A true testament to persistence.
[G Tablet Android Development] lulonen:
Latest rom is great. At least all my games run! Also benchmarks like quadrant works without any problems.

Congratulations!
[G Tablet Android Development] jheiselman:
Wow, thanks nobe1976. I have to say, this is the smoothest and fastest this tablet has ever felt This build is even better than 1.2! Thank you so much for your efforts on this. My tablet is almost as smooth as my friend's Transformer.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Yes Robeet the Original Dev for the Gtablet. I have ran many of his find works on my slate. Thanks for the Props.

Getting Quadrant Standards to work was a great goal for this since that actually shows a nice graph on what you are improving on. I like that the I/O jump on this build.

Just imagine if we can get a Kernel that can OC to 1.6 again. This thing will put that Transformer to shame after I get done with it. :cool:

Everyone Don't forget to run your fingers across redeyedjedi Thank button for compiling 4.1.2 for me and also go show fosser2 some love so he knows that he is not forgotten. We need 3.1 to put some extra icing on this cake.
[G Tablet Android Development] xoted:
nobe1976,

Awesome build, thoroughly enjoyable. At this point, I can almost use the gTab at work.

In one of your previous builds, there was a program in the app drawer that looked like it was from Texas Instruments, but I don't see it anymore. Was that a driver that would have allowed the unit to work on an ad hoc network? I've also tried ad-hoc switcher on the gTab, but it says it's missing a file that hopefully it was.

Tried making my HTC HD2 go infrastructure with the gTab using WiFi Tether, but no real data transfer.

Any help appreciated.

[G Tablet Android Development] lulonen:
I can confirm same results in Antutu as You showed in this topic, Rom is truly FAST.

Is it a big problem to modify kernel allowing more OC?
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
That is where I am at a stand still. There are a few tricks I am going to try, but more then likely 1200 will be the highest we can go without damaging something. I am also trying to work on seeing how to add some extra governors and schedulers. I remember at one time we had extra governors but I would like to see how the newer ones react.

So just to leave no loose ends. What it ended up being was that I was an old version of CWM. Loaded up the latest recovery and it went right through. Thanks for this awesome ROM.
[G Tablet Android Development] JustinFlor.es:
Before this ROM, I was THIS close to grabbing a Transformer Prime... It'll be a while before I contemplate a hardware upgrade again. Can't thank you enough nobe...

I was able to get 50% supercharged with V6, but I couldn't get the other part done because I can't figure out how to connect the usb in "charge only" mode and I didn't feel like messing with the other methods to patch services.jar... No dramatic increase in performance with the 50%, but not that it really needs it.
[G Tablet Android Development] djrakun:
I think you are referring to the Bluetooth sco app. From what uve read on cyanogenmod, this app allowed you ti use mono bluetooth headsets to listen to music. Never used it myself but i remember seeing it. I think it was in build 1.3.0

I just installed the newest version. It is really fast. Great>> However, I get a whole bunch of market apps that will not install. I am getting a message different than I am used to:

" Error retrieving information from Server. (RPC:S-5:AEC-0)

This is different from the usual " this app. is not compatible with your device". Is there something I am doing wrong? Or do I have to do the old fashioned market fix?
[G Tablet Android Development] genjin:
I got that market error on my Fascinate when I recently installed a Jelly Bean rom. All I had to do was remove my google account in system settings and then add it back and I could install apps again. It is a simple thing to try!
[G Tablet Android Development] jlh11364:
I just tried that, it didn't work. for some reason it seems more of a server problem. I got a handful downloaded and then started having the problem. It happens with very common apps like QUick office, USA Today etc.
[G Tablet Android Development] JUGOMAN:
Did you do a full wipe prior to install? I had a similar problem because I did not do a full wipe. So....
[G Tablet Android Development] dsrhokie:
I had the same problem and overcame it by performing the good old Froyo market fix. There are many threads here on XDA that describe it in detail.

[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
It works it is just I left the location.apk out by mistake. You will either need to pull it from the previous build or unzip a pack of gapps and place it in the system/app folder. Currently you can just add your location to display by entering you zip code in the custom location in lock screen/weather.
