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

Alright you Fruit Ninja players found out that the game will not play unless you are on a 120dpi setup. So in order for it to work you will have to change the DPI then reboot into recovery to wipe cache and dalvic. Once booted back up go ahead and reset the recommended running settings and game on.

The plus thing is that while the DPI changes the size of thing one can use the Apex launcher to resize there icons back to there liking and within the system settings you can enhance the font to size up as well.

As always thanks in Advance.

I can finally use a stylus now even. Very happy with the ROM still - does everything smoothly and has been very stable!

Tried flashing this morning and i'm stuck...

Was flashing VIA NVFlash and the process seemed to work correctly but now my tabs stuck on the "Entering NVFlash recovery mode / NV3P Server" screen....can't reboot or get out of this screen no matter what i seem to do...

Maybe it's something easy but i've been away from my G-tab for a LONG time so any help is appreciated...
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
You have to hold down the power button for at lease 5 sec. to get tablet out of apx mode and reboot manually with that NVfalsh version. It will not do it automatically for right now. Working on getting the commands fixed.
[G Tablet Android Development] mgioia2:
Thanks but i've tried that...held it down forever...thinking my power button may have died on me...
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
I am away from my computer right now, you can let the battery drain or remove the back panel and Press the internal reset button. A bad power button is not a good thing to have.

Go to dhr site and learn about drilling a reset hole in the back cover, if you're brave!! :cyclops:
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Yeah I had to drill a hole in my case due to SOD issues during beta phase of DRH ICS. Here is the Picture link to give you a rough look see on where it is at. If your good enough on your measurement you can drill the reset hole while the back panel is off.

Microphone

So I know that DRH was saying the Mic works for about 6-8 seconds before dropping off, does this ROM support the Mic or is it experiencing the same issues as DRH's Dirty Bean?
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Basic run down. If different ROMS have to use the same kernel they all would still have the same HW issues. The Boot.img basically tells the OS what can run correctly and what cannot. Since Nvidia doesn't want to release a source, fosser2 and his dev team have build it pretty much blind. I am sure that they will work things out and once that happens I believe kernel devs would like to get there hands on it to crank it up.
[G Tablet Android Development] feyerbrand:
oh well that makes complete sense. I know that I petitioned NVidia on their forums for the source to get the camera working... I guess now that I think about it makes sense that the Mic is part of the same problem. Well At least Team DRH is doing what they are doing to get us just a little bit further with this device.
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
mic cuts out after 8 secs while recording. But i make 10 minute skype calls all the time. voice search records but luckily 8 secs is usually enough. UVC webcams also work on this rom.

Dave,

Did you change anything other then audio_policy when you were working on your BT? I've done that but it didn't help with my HDMI. Audio is coming out of internal speakers but not through HDMI.

Thanks,

I am having issues with my stereo bluethooth headset. It connects and syncs and all that it just the sound still goes through the internal speakers and not being routed through the headset. I am using the LG HBS-700.

Yhea the OP having issues with his own ROM :p

I belive we got a fix. Attached is new audio policy to be placed in system/etc. Please let me know if it works so I can update OP with changes. Backup current just in case ;)

HDMI audio

Could you zip your audio file and paste it here?

I tried changing all three sampling rates and didn't get HDMI to work. I did get tablet to stream sound when on.dock however, which is better then nothing.

Thanks for passing the tip on. With enough testing one of us should be able to get audio output working!

[G Tablet Android Development] Photoelectric:
Quick question about the recommendations in the OP:

"(Recomended Memory Manager Preset setting= Strict)"

Does this mean selecting a higher % value in zRam settings under the Performance section? I set it to 18% (default), as I see no "strict" setting anywhere. Thanks. Also set CPU Sleeper to run at boot, and it's been reliably starting up every boot (I get the "root permission granted" type message about it after reboots).
[G Tablet Android Development] festivus:
Strange, but I didn't see that in my Google search bar. Even with Thumb Keyboard, I know it's faster for me to dictate text messages and emails whenever I can. Is there a way to add this functionality without going to a whole new ROM?
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Can't wait for 4.2 to be stable enough. Been trying to do a little tweaking with the one that you posted and ended up boot looping like crazy. :silly: I am going to try some other different games, but so far Fruit Ninja, Hill Climber, FL Commando and a few others seem to be playing nicely at 120 dpi.

That "(Recomended Memory Manager Preset setting= Strict)" setting can only be done within ROM toolbox which is included and is posted to do so in the OP. zRam compression settings I went ahead and boosted it up to 26% without any hard issues.

The Stock Google search bar that comes with Apex Launcher has the mic icon on it, it doesn't transfer onto the keyboard you are using. Like suggested use "Hacker Keryboard" from the Play Store and you should be able to dictate your messages. ;)
[G Tablet Android Development] festivus:
Strangely enough, even with Hacker's Keyboard, I'm still not seeing the mic icon on the keyboard. When I go to settings, I have it enabled on the main keyboard, but it still isn't there. Also, I enabled voice input in the settings of Thumb Keyboard as well, but obviously it isn't there either. It's not a deal-breaker by any stretch, it's just strange not to see it there.
[G Tablet Android Development] Photoelectric:
My bad - I found it!

The Google Search bar with mic is so far the only thing that's giving me errors in this ROM, and the voice to text is not working. "Google Search has stopped working" if I try to pull out that widget. Using the standard Google Search would normally give the mic icon, but not in this build / configuration.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Are you running the Latest Smoother Bean ver 1.5? I have reloaded this ROM from scratch and Hacker Keyboard is the only Keyboard I could find in the Play Store that I like to use and has that feature on it.
[G Tablet Android Development] festivus:
Ugh, looks like I'm on ver 1.4. Can I install 1.5 on top of it without wiping, or do I need to do start from scratch?

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

It is recommended for a clean install, but if one must keep there data just wipe cache and dalvic before installation. There are some changes to app placement which will use less on the system partition.

Last night I installed this ROM following the instructions. The first impression is amazing.

The only one trouble was that I could not connect the tablet in storage mode to copy the rom on the internal SD, even testing from two different pc. Anyway I resolved copying directly to de external SD from a PC.

Testing Youtube with HD videos smoothly, the sound test skype work ok, browser, 3°part calendar, gmail and other apps, everything worked ok. Today I will continue testing.

Great job, thanks for reviving my forgotten Gtablet. It came with a Custom Froyo running for a long time ..

The only thing that is not working is the battery level indicator. Now, I think it is a hardware failure, very common with the Gtablets included my own. The best way to control it is replace the battery indicator with a voltage level meter.

Well microphone works only few seconds

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

Unlike froyo ROMs the ICS and JB ROMs connect MTP and not Mass Storage. Use the directions in the Dirty Bean or DRH ICS treads for setup.

Wasn't really needed--but, I'll accept it!

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

That looks like output from a 2.6.32.x kernel. For the test, did you

a) remove the hard-coded LP1 state in the kernel source? and

b) check that the ODM data also doesn't do the same thing--ie. return LP1 as the lowest sleep state?
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
this was Tested by flashing the whole .5699 ROM .....which if they had added lp0 to the bootloader bin it should have worked. We didnt go as far as trying that bl with a new kernel and adding Lp0 code, because it isnt even present in that partiticular version of TapnTap. Is it your belief that they added it to the bootloader, but didnt bother to add support for it to the kernel or ROM? lp1 was the only posted available suspend state. and our particualr revision has no lp0 on any of our "related" tabs either, like a vega with our revision, or an NI adam, or a smba9701, etc.

We are having some kind of hell trying to get android 4.2.1 to stay in lp1, but it just wakes after about .09 secs, then suspends, then wakes up.......... a dmesg after 1 minute is like 1000 lines long, just showing this sleep/awake cycle repeat itself. It is a total PIA!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] JediBrooker:
okay I'm getting very angry now! this is another "i cannot get past the 3 birds!" post. i've searched the forums for days and cannot get smoother_bean or DRH_JB to work. only g-harmony_JB works but rom is rather slow and i've heard good reports about smoother.

i've tried these instructions http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23147934&postcount=4 to no avail.

any other suggestions?

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

If you read even further into the tread you will find out that there are some that still cannot boot these current updates on there devices either. For some strange reason tjohnson has modified the kernel he is using that is allowing your device to boot it. I about bet that you loaded up his OC ROM. If you try to load the standard version you might get the same results as this. Fosser2 is working on his new kernel and he has a device like yours in his hands to make sure that it does work. All I can say is be patient and goodness will come.

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

Not sure what it does but setting the Background Process Limit to 2 works wonders.. Thanks for the tip!
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
That's what I though--which is why I asked for the clarification.

Both the 1.1 and 1.2 kernel patches from VS hard-code LP1 as the tablet's lowest power state, so even if the hardware and bootloader could go into LP0 mode (not certain that it can, mind!), you wouldn't be able to see it with any of the stock, or stock-derived kernels without that hard-coding being removed. So, what you guys have done doesn't really advance our state of understanding, right?

See if the steps in this post work.
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
I guess not, but i absolutely refuse to call this our mistake. Are we supposed to assume that viewsonic would go to the trouble of adding Lp0 support but then not implementing it? Then again, we should have assumed that they would always be as stupid and worthless as they have been to this point, so i guess you are right, we were stupid to think they would fix lp0 AND bother to add kernel support for it. either way, our revison of tegra2 does NOT support lp0 at all, and that info comes from nvida, not viewsonic or tapntap. But thanks for your condescending remarks, those always make my day. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] osvaldoll:
That's the key. During the first tests, the performance of my gTablet could not reach the same posted in this thread.

I returned to the first post and saw that I had forgotten something.

.....Task Killing without a app go to system settings/Developer options (Turn on first) then select "Background process limit" to (No background processes or Limit to 1)

Now breathe normally.

I just hope the microphone to work in a future..
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
Who said anything about a mistake here? The point is that If you want to test for LP0 sleep, then you can't do it with that hard-coding in place. It's as simple as that.

The exercise is to find out, and not assume things. At least 2 other people have thought it useful to test for LP0 sleep: Fosser2, recently, and someone else on SLD--but that was quite a while back. This last was what prompted my question: what's the situation with the latest bootloader? Has anything changed? Has anyone checked?

You're certain nvidia hasn't got the code in the kernel to implement LP0, yet you've still tried to test it. Why bother if you're so sure?

That's right, Jedi: Skip the technical content of the message entirely as usual and focus on some non-existent, imagined slight. Good job muddying a simple issue.

Sorry if this has been covered but I flashed this rom and everything is awesome but when the screen goes off i get no notifications at all until i turn the screen back on. Is this a known thing or can anyone help me fix it?..

Thanks and again Thanks for the awesome rom you guys put out there for us..
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
This is just something that you will have to get use to. When the screen turns off the devices goes into Sleep mode or a deep Standby mode. No processes are being used meaning notifications will not show up until the nexted time you take it out of Standyby. There might be some third party apps that might help, but I haven't heard of any so far.

First time flashing this ROM . I was expecting slowdowns and crashes , based on my previous experiences with 4.0+ ROMs. Happy to report that in the eight hours or so since flashing, no major issues . Coming from Vegan 5.1.

Thanks to all of you that keep this device alive.
[G Tablet Android Development] jcp171:
Nice rom

Flashed it last night and seems pretty zippy. better than that, it's consistent with very few if any slowdowns so far. One thing I may have been missing until now is I always tried to format system as indicated, but I never actually mounted the system first and then formatted. No idea if there is any difference but thought I'd mention that.

Have it overclocked to 1.2, with I could take it higher as I installed a heatsink inside using the inverted shell off an old P4 processor and that handles 1.6 just fine in frankentab...

I have it set to max 1 background task in dev options, that probably helps too.

Ran Smartbench 2012 and got the following results:

Productivity: 2743

Gaming Index: 1916

In Smartbench 2011 which is a much lighter test:

Productivity: 4469

Gaming Index: 2094

My cpu performance options are set for 216/1200

Thanks again!

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------

I tried setting the CPU to 1000/1200 and trying the benches again. the results were only slightly better in 2011 and virtually identical in 2012 so the CPU is doing a good job of ramping up from default clocks already.

[G Tablet Android Development] lartomar2002:
Out of curiosity why do you use CWM to load pictures and music?
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
I think they transfered them from Internal Storage in order to do the ROM prep. ("Not all of us have a external Storage like us :silly:...... LOL)
[G Tablet Android Development] waltzdriod]:
transfer speed faster in CWM than using the mtp transfer utility in the rom itself and between on my window's 7 i dont see any option of safely unmounting my tab after transfering files from with the rom i just pull cable which i believe might be hurting my hardisk
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
I haven't tryed it wirh 'Windows yet, but with Ubuntu I can connect within the ROM as Camera instead of MTP and transfer pictures just as fast as Mass Storage. Plus safely remove connection in a snap. MTP is a big pain when it comes to transfer music and other data. I do use CWM or a USB flash drive for that.
[G Tablet Android Development] Photoelectric:
Question about battery life (still on the previous version of this ROM). I have been testing how long it takes for the battery run out on standby without any activity. I turned off wireless, limited background processes to 1, and made sure CPU Sleeper was running. The standby battery life was just 3 day and 10 hours. Is that normal or on the low side? Seems low given that the tablet was not used at all except 3 times to wake it briefly to check battery status. Is the latest ROM better for battery conservation at all?
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Well take it that it was even in standby there are still stuff going on in order to keep it alive. Putting a device in sleep mode doesn't shut down the complete processes of the device. That is actually pretty good for just checking it every now and the. Damn near 4 days. Try getting that out of your phone with just WIFI on and cell data turned off. Mine will get around two or three days without needing a charge unless my kids get it out to play with. If you are up to test the internal battery control with this ROM. You will actually have to run the same test with other ROMs and also different kernels.
[G Tablet Android Development] Photoelectric:
Ok, thank you - just checking for comparison purposes. That was with WIFI off as well. (Also, my HTC HD2 phone with a MIUI Gingerbread ROM has a very long stand-by time with data/wifi off, so I guess I have been spoiled by it!!!)

Will you tell us in a bit of a detail what's different about the new ROM? I'm afraid to try it, since the previous version is working quite well, and I don't want to mess it up! :D
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Read the Changelog in the OP
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
That battery life comports well with the battery life in sleep state (where all processes are suspended) on other ROMs. I got almost 4 days from a full charge like you did when I tested a while back.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Man every time you pop in I learn just a bit more. On that link you posted I read this

I am using fossers kernel with Swap enabled and I left the original script placing the 80m swap on to the (/sys/devices/virtual/block/zram0/disksize). With what little I know about LP0 and LP1 can this be used to apply hibernate mode? Just curios.
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
No. For at least 2 reasons:

1. As I said, the Tegra 2 SoC keeps the power on to the RAM always--even in LP0 sleep state. Ie. There is no hibernate mode on ARM processors (unlike on x86 architectures). So there is no point in copying the contents of RAM to a physical (non-volatile) swap device.

2. The swap that you are talking about is a virtual swap device. Ie. it exists entirely in RAM. So, even if you could save RAM contents to, let's say, a dedicated partition on one of the SD cards to implement a hibernate mode (which you can't on the ARM--see point #1), you would now also have to save the virtual swap contents to the physical swap device. Which, I think you'll agree, is a bit silly.

This is not to say that you shouldn't have a physical swap partition in addition to (or, in lieu of) the virtual zRAM swap.

This exact thing happened to me last night, except I fell asleep watching YouTube.

[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
You will have to join the rest of us on creating your own reset hole on the back of the case or wait it out until the power drains out. You can use the USB connection on the side as I recommended to other to help that processes go faster by charging or powering up other devices using the gtablet. Or crack the case open carefully and press the internal reset button.
