I am starting to believe that its the format issue. Just for ****s an giggles I will format one of my flash drives to NTFS to test it out. If you want to see if the ROM is driving the power to it properly just hack a old USB cable and take a volt meter to the red and black wires to find out.

Edit: Just what I thought it was a issue reading NTFS format storage. Just wiped my 2 gig flash drive and formated it from fat32 to NTFS and I can no longer mount it on the tablet. I see the issue and will work on a fix. The ROM will read fat32 and ext2-4 formats so that also could be a work around for now.

You have gone beyond the call of duty. From now, on in my mind, at least, you are noBle1976. Thank you, so much, and sorry to be such a pain. Then, if the kernel is the same, the answer lies in the ROM ( 4.1.1 vs 4.1.2)
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Correct. Something in the ROM is not recognizing the NTFS format. I believe that DRH added it after the compile. Will have to check with one of them and see what was added to allow NTFS mount back on. These ROMs are more or less compiled for devices that only use fat32 and ext2-4 format such as phones.

I have never had automatic ntfs support with read/write, but the ntfs.ko and the fuse.ko are absolutely there. I suppose there could be a power issue, due to the cyanogenmod code "expecting" an OTG connection, while we have the unusual "actual usb port." But, on every drive i have, which are all NTFS, I have had full R/W access using "paragon NTFS" which is the company that ACER pays for using a proprietary module in their stock roms for ntfs R/W. The app is free and for me works perfectly, even with automount. I have one usb powered 640gb, 1 self powered 1tb, and various pen drives, all working.

It does use 5mb RAM on boot, though, and is 3rd party.

Lucky for me though, last night, I found an in-house solution, which works brilliantly. It detects a "NO_FS" event and then automatically runs, which means it uses NO RAM when it is not needed. Then it simply uses the ntfs.ko module, and mounts your drive with one click.

Then, as long as you still have the stock file manager, or some file manager installed in /system/app it will launch this app by itself and take you to the directory of your files for you. FIVE STARS ON THIS ONE. please hit this guys thanks button:

Get the V5 version and install thats it. tested and working for me, with every drive I tried.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
The issue is not with the .ko modules, well maybe they are not set correctly for 4.1.2 firmware. The issue might be in the vold file that is in system/bin. Tryed last night coping over the same file from previous build and the one from Dirty Bean and ended up boot looping after fresh install. Going to do a bit more investigating on it, but might have to use a alternative solution if that is the case.

Still, no go. I still believe that the power being delivered to the USB port in this particular tablet, is not adequate . I will try to measure both tabs and see.

I/o Cfq on both tabs. voltages as follows : Smooth bean 2.3 v ,Drh 1.3, 2.6 v, @ no load. Not much of a difference@ idle on usb.

USB thumb drives mount without any problems. When I insert the MicroSD while tablet is off and power on, it mounts only microsd, not sdcard. If I insert it while tablet is on and internal sdcard is mounted, it does mount the microsd, now after installing the USB Mount app mentioned earlier, but the tablet gets very "laggy" almost to the point of no usability.

This was a clean install after nVflash to 250MB system partition and reformat internal SD in CWM.

I've Tried 32GB and an 8GB MicroSD with same results.

You should probably consider nvflashing to stock tapntap, then wiping and nvflashing teamdrh350meg prep. I am having no issues with NTFS or microsd card. I think you are saying that NTFS used to work automatically, but that was never the case for me, I always had to use an app or insmod command for NTFS r/w access. I don't see it as a ROM issue because it works for me without issue. I thought it may be a bad tweak, but I had microsd and NTFS on smoother bean too. So, the source is at github.com/cyanogenmod/android_system_vold. If you make changes I'll build it for testing, but I can't help otherwise because I'm not having any issues, sorry.

however, this is by far the fastest and smoothest rom ive tested, to date! thank you very much!
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
I am currently running some test right now, but what apps are giving you errors? Have you tried clearing cache, data in both Google Service Framework and PlayStore then open up PlayStore and reboot after you get the server error (The old Market fix). After tablet boots back up give it time to link back up, but when you open it up you need to agree to the PlayStore all over again and give it another try with those apps.
[G Tablet Android Development] JUGOMAN:

Do not offend me .. everything is ok ..

My tablet is equal to GTAB precise, all roms in this forum work but with limitations. But they work fine.

Maybe I would like in the first post what works, that is, since the gps you can put on GTAB would run with this rom .. More info in short, because what you do and you do will also specify nonsense ..

Thank you for all

Media Players

I have asked this before in other forums. However, Why is it that on my Razr phone, Apollo, Google Player, etc play all of my music. However, on the tablet, I cannot play WMA files? These are all old burned CD's off of my PC from Windows Media Player.

Would copying the APK from the phone and putting it on the tablet help? It becomes an annoyance everytime I do a new or updated rom. I have Rocket Player on the G Tab right now. it works, but it is only the trial version. I may just end up paying, so I dont have to screw with it anymore.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Currently the ROMs that are being built are not supporting those current formats. I am however trying to get it going it is just time to do it is not there currently. The only alternative way to get those formats working is loading the apps on the PlayStore.

Charging issue

OK...got this running..very nice. I have run into an issue, not perfectly clear to me if it's a ROM issue or a hardware issue. When I plug the power in, I get the red light saying the tablet is charging, but the battery icon does not show as such. I thought maybe the charging port was bad so I took the tablet apart and checked it the port tested out ok. I even touched up the solder joints to make sure there weren't any cracks. I played with it for about 2-3 hours and couldn't figure out why it showed as discharging. So I turned the tablet off last night and left it plugged in.

This morning when I got up, the charging LED had turned from RED to Green which made me very happy. So i turned the tablet back on and again it did not show the battery charge symbol. I went into power and it said discharging but was 10% higher than when I turned it off at night.

So my question is this. Did I find a bug in the ROM or is there something wrong on the board? Somehow it went green so something on the tablet believes it's fully charged. Any assistance or input would be great!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] JUGOMAN:
Having problems here too. Mine reads 0% at all times, yet it runs for 10 hrs well. Happened after flashing Dirtybean . I believe it is a ROM/Kernel issue, and it does not affect all tabs. Have another tab running Dirtybean 5.3 and battery meter is Working well. On both tabs, if placed on charger/dock, while "on", they freeze (kernel panic) requiring the DRH to be used.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
The issue mainly is caused through the kernel. I see it every now and then when I drain my battery below 10% then plug it in to charge while device is turned on. The battery level with in the ROM stays at the last number it displayed until I swipe open the notification bar and close it. Then the battery level show it is charging. On the last page of the other website they discuss it and it seems to be fixed with the new 3.1 kernel. Just a FYI

My GTab shows 100% at all times, and has since the VeganTab days. I have always assumed it was hardware. Just one off those odd things...

If you search the GTab forums here, there are some posts that explain a script you can use to give you approximate battery levels.

Running Plex app (music) messes up the sound and no media plays after wards

Was running the black bean ROM for a while and had no issues with Plex but on this particular ROM when ever I run Plex (the music part) it will no play any songs and pretty much messes up the volume on the tablet (everything is muted from that point on). Also no other media (youtube, neftlix, plex movies etc) will work afterwards.

Anyone know whats up?

Even though I like this smoother bean version much better.....if it was'nt for this annoying issue with plex I think this would have been the ideal ROM I have tried so far. I may have to go back to Black bean ROM (which has its own set of issues....randomly reboots while using it),

For every one having issues with listening to music, or playing plants v zombies with no sound.... there is an issue with the "audio policy.conf" file, or audio_effects.conf, dont know which. If you replace the ones in /system/etc with the ones from dirty bean, your issues will go away, and so will your hdmi audio. I noticed this on my rom last night, with mp3s, and plants V zomb, also contract killer2 crashes, wont work. Replacing these 2 files fixed it, I have no dock so no biggy, but I had included nobe's for dock owners, only to discover that there needs to be some tweaking, most likely with audio_policy.conf. This issue applies to both the current PA and this ROM.

**this is most likely the pandora radio issue as well nobe.

Hello Everyone,

I must say, after trying out this rom for a little while now, it's quickly turning out to be the best rom I've tried out so far. It of course does pay to follow all of the installation instructions the first time, now that I've got the rom working pretty well, I need to see where the other software is located that's shown on the first page of this post. Of course I guess my biggest issue is that I'm still learning the android system, having been a long time ms windows user. Like right now, I recently paid for and installed windows 8 on my laptop. I Surely appreciate all of the guidance I've received here in the forums, and I've tried my best to help others when possible.

Thanks,

David :o

I tried this rom but no music sounds (OS sounds do work) and the market doesn't show a lot of apps compared to other roms (which is odd, the stuff in build.prop is the same as roms like teamdrh's original that show them.
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
please read my previous post I'm working a fix, but you can do what I suggested for now
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
I have read through the "audio_effect.conf" on Smoother Bean vs. DRH Bean and they are identically the same script. I am running a different audio_policy.conf" script only to make the audio work on the HDMI output when connected to the dock. Let me do some minor adjustments to that and see if it helps out this issue. People don't delete anything out of ./etc folder unless you are willing to make the adjustments yourself. I will modify it and verify with my doc tester that everything works still and get out a update script to help everyone out. For the mean time you can always leave it be and just reboot if a app causes this issue to recover audio back. Thanks in Advance.

Yes I feel a little bit better and I did some accommodation to my PC to let me work on some things like this. Thanks for acknowledgement to my reply.

Screw it I got the Update in the OP. Please Flash responsibly and enjoy the sound again. I know I am since my Pandora has been working right ever since I loaded this up. Minor changes were made to the following files, "audio_effect.conf" in /etc and /vendor/etc, plus replace "libcyanogen-dsp.so" in /libs/soundfx, and also change some levels on the "audio_policy.conf" in /etc. HDMI should still work and I would like someone to confirm for me that it does so I can rest easy. Thanks in Advance.

Sound problems are fixed, and market apps are available now after i set the time to 24h format (odd that). The Google apps package for CM10 doesn't work, is there any way to include them like the teamdrh rom gave the option to?

Is there any way to swap the + and - volume buttons and maybe support the touchkeys (home/back/appswitch) on the Hannspree Hannspad. Rotation also seems not working. The rest works perfectly on it as other than that it seems to be the same thing as the G Tab.

I can very wel live without either though as this is by far the smoothest rom for it!

No secret. Just a clean install over 250MB system, 2048MB data with the kernel update. I just installed the updated AWD Launcher Pro and set as default; the tablet froze up, had to hold power button to turn off. After a restart I noticed it ran snappier, so I set governor to performance 1.2GHz and ran the benchmark. First run was a bit lower, 69xx something. The second one I could not believe my eyes, hence the posted screenshot.

All props to you, nobe1976!

This game would play without sound and freeze the whole tab when I would exit, but it works perfectly now after the audio policy changes. This is on PA using 140dpi. So, try adding the update from the OP, and set DPI to 140.....this game should play just fine.

I have been trying to port this ability from PA....but it is a very elusive task. Also, the differences in settings and framework-res cause many tweaks not to work. You can indeed run PA instead, it is just as stable as this rom, but not quite as fast. I am still working on this though, to have a single consolidated rom. The 3.1 kernel is really close I think, and this will change things yet again, but all for the better. so, stay tuned.

help

hi everyone. I am hoping someone could help me figure out either what I am doing wrong or what may be wrong with my device.

I was previously running Vegan-TAB 5.1.1 (BL 1.1). I jumped to BL 1.2 by following the instructions in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1397728 . After following the directions in the thread I was able to boot to a 1.2 BL TAPnTAP ROM.

I then NVFlashed the "Link for NVFlash package to set System to 250m" provided by the OP. I was able to boot into this TAPnTAP ROM and perform the initial setup. Then copied the Smoother bean 4.1.2 ROM .zip file to my internal SD Card.

I then followed the instructions provided:

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

You must now how to back up your existing system. That is only being said once (CHECK)

Boot into Recovery and do a Nandroid Backup (CHECK)

Wipe data/factory reset (CHECK)

Partition Internal SD to 4096/0 in Advance settings (CHECK, BUT THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM BEGINS)

after partitioning the internal SD card I lose all the contents of the internal SD card and thus the ROM .zip file is not there. Not a problem, I know with the CWM version 5.5.0.4 that I can mount USB drive and upload the .zip again from my PC.

Download Rom and Place on internal storage (CHECK via CWM mount USB drive)

Install Package (CHECK)

All that I can get to happen is the NVIDIA Tergra IV boot screen comes up and flashes and repeats over and over again (boot loops). I even tried to re-do everything and format system from advanced in CWM. Still no luck.

What can be the problem? I don't get it. I've never had this much trouble flashing a ROM before.

Thanks,
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
well, if you booted a 1.2 rom, I dont know. you can always wipe again, then separately format /system and then copy zip, and try again. Alternatively, you can use a 1.1 BL with JB anyways, but you may be one of those who just cant get jb or ICs to work. I would at least try what i said....with this rom and any of the others that are JB or ICS based.
