skype and latest kernel

I asked a couple of people in a post i general forum and it seems thst it is the kernel the one messing with Skype :confused:

Any ideas Clem?
[G Tablet Android Development] stanglx:
I have swype installed and have no issues with this kernel (except with skype).
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
I haven't been able to update my kernel due to being busy with family and work. Also, my wife had been using it most of the time so I got myself another device (nook color) to use. I will still continue to make any request to add in the kernel though :)

VPN Help

I’m a little green at flashing the Kernel and will need some help. I have a new G Tablet that is rooted and I have Installed Clockwork Mod along with Vegan 5.1. I’m very happy the performance of the tablet. However it lacks VPN or I think. I'm getting a message that says unable to connect to server. I have set up a simple PPTP VPN. I'm able to connect to VPN on an HTC Android phone. So from this thread it looks as if I need to install the clempatchvegan10.9.8.zip to FIX my VPN problem.

Is this much like installing a new ROM? If I make a backup of my Vegan 5.1 OS with Clockwork Mod that is rock solid despite it is missing VPN. Then I install this new kernel if I have problems can I just restore my backup? Therefore my kernel will be restored to what is before the upgrade. Or is the Kernel more permanent?
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
You can install this kernel on top of vegan and install the wifi fix. It will just replace the boot.img. if you want to go back to VEGAN, Just reflash the rom.
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
Finally got the Gtablet from my wife..I'll be building a kernel with all the support enabled like CIFS, VPN, NTFS, EXT4, IPv6, PPOE, PROXY with Cyanogen Gingerbuild by bitrix :)

OK, got it built..Will upload on first post.

Anyone willing to try PPTP, VPN, MPEE with encryption? Please let me know how it goes.
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
GamePAD and Joystick support added in TNT,VEGAN,Zpad.
[G Tablet Android Development] Coldfirex:
If we are running TNT, enhancement pack, and your ipv4 kernel is there a way to get VPN support in the android gui or would I have to be running a different base build to get the built-in vpn area?
[G Tablet Android Development] rickyt63:
Got error installing ! Error status 6.
[G Tablet Android Development] sonkey:
I tried to install and got the same error

Error 6 installation aborted.

Tried to flash via recovery, no go. please help.

Thanks, Rob
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
Sorry for the error in the script. Will fix it now.

Looks like I need to cut down on the beer before posting my stuff :)

Here is the kernel, Also on first post.
[G Tablet Android Development] rickyt63:
NTSF auto enable?

Thanks Clemsyn.

Is NTSF auto enable or we need to manually adb it?
[G Tablet Android Development] EwanG:
OK, I am obviously still too newb...

G-Tab with Vegan 5.1

Downloaded the "ClemPatchTNTVEGANZPAD.zip"

Copied to ROMs directory in \sdcard

Booted into CWM

Mounted Root

Formatted Root

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Fix Permissions

Wipe Cache

Make sure system and data are mounted

install zip from zipcard

pick the ClemPatch zip file

watch it install

reboot

This keeps giving me a "Magic Value Mismatch"

I can go into CWM and reflash Vegan, so I'm bothered more than panicked (in fact just did so). But what step am I missing? Should I have forced a reformat of everything (in which case I suspect I should do a backup first)?

Thanks in advance for the help!
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
Install vegan then install the patch. No need to format boot coz the patch needs the boot.img wth this type of zip.
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
Ntfs support is built in but needs to be manually mounted via terminal or script
[G Tablet Android Development] EwanG:
So this time I went into CWM, did nothing except to pick the update zip, install the Clem file, and reboot.

When I go into "About Device" I see:

Android Version 2.2

Kernel Version 2.6.32.9-00001-g6e47897-dirty clemsyn@clemsyn-MM061 #73

Since I understood this included Gingerbread, I assumed that the Version Number would be 2.3? Guess I was expecting a more "dramatic" speed increase since I thought this version allowed both cores of the Tegra 2 to be used. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places?
[G Tablet Android Development] ronhoney:
Can you provide the correct script? I haven't gotten anything to work so far.
[G Tablet Android Development] japhule:
Clemsyn's kernel is an updated kernel to apply to existing Roms (TNT, Vegan, Zpad, Cyanogen, etc). The kernel supports gingerbread Rom (ie, Cyanogen). You are still using Vegan which is currently 2.2.

Both cores of Tegra2 is supported in 2.2. Android apps on the other hand need to be updated to use both cores (if needed).

questions

Hi,

I'm on stock TNT 3452. Does anyone know if I flash this kernel, will usb mouse work and have a cursor?

Also, reading through the thread, there are posts saying that if you want to back this kernel out, you have to basically flash back your original firmware. In my case that would be the original 3452 from VS, which would mean all the stuff I've installed would be gone.

Is there another way? I'm thinking that if I could use nvflash to backup whichever partition my current boot image goes on, then, if I want to back out this kernel later, I could just use nvflash to flash the boot partition using the partX.image I had backed up.

Has anyone tried that, and did it work?

Jim
[G Tablet Android Development] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I think you could just do a backup in CWM and that should take care of 'saving' your kernel.

However, also note that reflashing your ROM doesn't necessarily wipe user data. I know that the popular ROMS here TNT Lite, Vegan, Zpad do not wipe user data. (Of course you SHOULD wipe user data if moving between ROMS). So, you should be able to just re-flash the system ROM and reboot. Your user data should still be there.
[G Tablet Android Development] jimcpl:
So the CWM backup will Backup the boot partition also?

Any idea if switching to this kernel will get mouse with cursor working?

Jim
[G Tablet Android Development] sonkey:
One question, when it says gamepad / joytick supported do this mean the usb type IE plug in a gamepad and its recoginzed for any game?

Thanks, rob
[G Tablet Android Development] sonkey:
So when it mentions Gamepad support in this Kernel, does this mean plug in any USB gamepad into the USB port that it is recognized as such and is usable for any game? Please elaborate.

Thanks, Rob
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
It just means it is enabled in the kernel via USB. Not sure if all the games will support this. I will upload a kernel later with all this gamepads supported:

[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
CWM will backup the boot partition. Re: mouse cursor, I don't think so.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
That covers a wide array of pads, so most should work, even if not one of theses exact devices listed. Issue is input mapping when all is said and done :)

Looking forward to it being posted :)

NTFS & 3G Modem Support

Love Clemsyn's work. Loaded it on top of Vegan Beta 5.1 but as a novice I can't get any script that's been posted to enable NTFS support (using GScript Lite) nor do I see any settings to activate a 3G modem. I bought a Novatel USB727 just to try it out.

Any help from you experts would be greatly appreciated.
[G Tablet Android Development] sonkey:
So if it is turned on in the kerenel how do we map buttons. I tried an Xbox controller, opened an emulator settings and it does nothing when I try to change the button mappings... Any Ideas?

Thanks, Rob
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
New kernel up with more gamepad support!

Rob, can u do a dmesg and LMK if it is detected? Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] pc2828:
Anyone else noticed lag with CM7 kernel, especially live wallpaper? Reflashed rom and no more lag.
[G Tablet Android Development] sonkey:
Hello,

How do I do the dmesg that you request. I am not real familiar with cmd lines. Just give me a how to and I will do it.

Thanks, Rob
[G Tablet Android Development] jag_oh:
Hi clemsyn... did some research on what u needed (sorry i'm a noob at all this) but i went ahead and did the dmesg thing... at the last few lines it did show that it detected the usb connection as a "joystick... (name of gamepad used)" so i'm assuming it works but isn't currently supported by apps? so far i tried gameboid to no avail. anyone else want to test the rest of the emulators or should we wait for the devs to properly integrate this into their apps?

awaiting any feedback!! :)
[G Tablet Android Development] gotwillk:
can someone tell me what this kernel is used for? i mean like, what is the point in flashing this kernel over the stock kernel that comes with vegan b5.1? i don't get all the abbreviations in the first post. is it more stable? is it faster? is it overclockable? less crashes? i'm still getting framework crashes when i turn on calendar sync btw.
[G Tablet Android Development] jag_oh:
so has anyone figured out a way to map keys for use with the gamepads? or if there's an apk that we need to install for them to work (like the wii remote)? hopefully we can finally confirm the gamepads actually working since its the only element left thats gonna make this tablet an insane gaming machine (at least for now). i like the wii remote idea though but nothing beats using xbox or other full gamepads to take full advantage of more buttons (4 shoulder buttons, etc)
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Something still seems missing, since Gameboid and the other oid apps allows mapping for a controller. If USB controllers are working correctly with this kernel, you should be able to choose alternate key mapping and map away.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
I am running beta4 on CY7 using the stock kernel. I wanted to flash stock with this kernel from page 1, and I got magic number mismatch.

I downloaded the kernel from page 1, reboot into the recovery, clear the cache, dalvik cache, and format the boot partition, and install the kernel. Reboot, and got the majic number mismatch.

Reboot into the recovery, format boot, clear the dalvik cache and cache, and reinstall CY7/Beta4, and back to the stock kernel which comes with CY7.

Like to run Clemsyn kernel, but can't seems to get it installed.
[G Tablet Android Development] shredness:
i dont think you need to format boot image anymore (just like you dont have to with pershoot's kernels)
[G Tablet Android Development] xmr405o:
I had the same questions as you. My Vegan ROM was running fine for me and I didn't really need all of the CIFS, PROXY, and all the other acronyms but I did have graphical issues with some of the apps/games when playing it on my Gtab. I was like, just for kicks, let me install this kernel. I liked the gamepad support so I figured it wouldn't hurt. Though I didn't see an immediate difference, I decided to reload a couple of the apps that I deleted because of graphical glitches and they worked! For instance, Buka HD had black squares when the "baddies" exploded when I was on stock Vegan. With the new kernel, it plays great. It looks awesome and it's fast.

Why don't you try this kernel and just make a back up so you can go back if you have issues.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
That was the trick I suppose. Re-installed the Clemsyn's kernel without formating the boot partition, and it worked.
[G Tablet Android Development] gottifour:
For me it seems like some portion of the controller is working but when I go to assign buttons in the key mapping portion of the emulators (NESOID, SNESOID, and an atari one) it registers the key presses but just says <none>. When the game starts the buttons do random things but not what they were assigned to. I tried this with a logitech controller that comes up as a gamepad when plugged into a computer. I also have a modified NES controller that is USB that also comes up as gamepad in windows.

I copied a portion of the log while pressing buttons, while in NESOID on the gamepad. I'm not sure what it means exactly though. It looks like it knows what type of controller it is but it's looking for a character map file? Does this make sense to anybody?

Just wondering if there is more things can be turned on for bluetooth support in either kernel? I can get my bluetooth headset to pair, but I can't connect. Is there ant trick to it?
[G Tablet Android Development] stanglx:
Definitely a great performing kernel... just the battery is killing me... Its like watching my gas gauge go down on my mustang..
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
:) It's most probably due to the default CPU Power Settings set as Performance while pershoot kernel is set up differently. In the default config by Nvidia, they have it set on performance so I prefer to have my kernel as close as possible with nvidia settings.
[G Tablet Android Development] stanglx:
I figured this... Are the on-demand governors compiled into the Kernel?

such as using:

echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

I see that performance and powersave are defined in the available_governor but nothing is defined in the scaling_governor.
[G Tablet Android Development] ronhoney:
REALLY would appreciate knowing how to activate NTFS support & enable a USB 3G Modem.....this is my third time asking. :o
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
To mount ntfs type this in the termina

su

mount -o umask=000 -t ntfs /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk

With regards to 3G modem, the kernel has support for it but the ROM needs to be built to support it so we can use it. I plugged my friend's MIFI (also Novatel) and it was detected, just can't use it since none of the ROMs currently support it (not sure about cyanogen though).
[G Tablet Android Development] ronhoney:
Thanks much, I'll give that string a shot when I get home today. Hopefully the ROM teams can add 3G Modem support soon.

-- Bummer! After driving home in a Snow storm, I entered the script above into GScript Lite and get:

stderr: mount: No such file or directory
[G Tablet Android Development] probley:
Clemsyn thanks for all your help if it is not too much trouble I could use some help. I Downloaded the "ClemPatchTNTVEGANZPAD.zip" and install this using clockwork mod. After the install I was excited to see VPN working, but now I'm getting the following message very often now: The application Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Any idea what I should try to make the error stop. Everything is working perfectly now just getting this annoying message.
[G Tablet Android Development] TheJesus:
I really want 3G modem support as well. So its a ROM issue, not the kernel anymore? Wonderful...

Anyone got an idea how/what to modify in the ROM to have the modem be picked up? I have CM7 all compiled and I can build it perfectly fine, so its gonna be some tinkering.
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
Try reinstalling the ROM (VEgan, TNT or Zpad) and see if it helps

There's something wrong after you connect a USB cable, after disconnecting Android continues to think that the USB cable is still connected, even after a reboot without a USB connected.

Clemsyn thanks again for answering my post. I did try the reinstall but the problem was still present. After doing a factory reset in the settings, this did clear the problem….I don’t know way I did not think of the before.

Is there a hot fix to add 802.1.x Enterprise option into the WiFi settings?
[G Tablet Android Development] Icedvoco:
Been looking through the thread and i have to say "great work".

When i bought my G-tab after checking this site to get an idea if it was the right tab for me, i decided to go ahead and buy it in the hope people like clemsyn would bring out updates just like this, so my hat is off to you good sir.

One of the main things i want to use my G-Tab for is as a gps in my car, i actually went and bought a usb gps right before i got the G-tab, not knowing that the roms (or maybe its android itself, i dont know) were not ready to allow us to do that yet, so when i was reading through the thread and noticed clemsyn comment about ttyUSB support for use with usb gps i got all excited, but i unfortunately i have not noticed any further comments on the subject since then, ive seen talk about the 3g usb sticks, which i also would like to use and would buy one if it was possible to use it with the g-tab.

So im just wondering if anything new has been done to add ttyUSB support for these usb type of devices ?
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
USB GPS

I believe bitrix was working on a USB GPS for his Viewsonic so you might want to PM him about this. If I had a USB GPS, I would more than likely try to get it running with our tablets. RE: 3g USB stick, I did try plugging in my friend's mifi and was detected, unfortunately, he returned his mifi coz he said Virgin Mobile put a limit on it.

Why use a use gps when you can just tether the gps from your phone for free?
[G Tablet Android Development] dwkennedy:
This kernel works great. I can easily mount my Samba shares using CIFS manager! Take that, Ipad! :)

I tried pershoot's kernel, but had to manually add the cifs.ko. This kernel is probably the easiest choice for the linux/android noobie.
[G Tablet Android Development] dwkennedy:
Standalone GPSs will work without assistance data from the cell towers. You can also remote the GPS on the front dash, and navigate from the back seat. My cell phone GPS doesn't work well in the back seat. My kids are more computer and map literate than my spouse so that's why it's so critical to have it work back there :)

I use a bluetooth GPS (along with the bluetooth GPS program) with much success. Mock GPS provider must be turned on.

CoPilot is a good nav program, and will work when you are out of cell range for map data, since all the map data gets loaded (1.6GB for North America)

USB gps units are strange animals. I know Garmin USB units on Windows must have a program called Spanner installed before they will put out NMEA data on a virtual serial port. They don't work like regular USB/RS232 convertors.
[G Tablet Android Development] das7771:
Has anyone had any luck getting any type of gamepad or controller to work. I just found my madcatz xbox 360 controller, and was going to try it out tonight. But by the looks of it I am not going to have any luck since I have not seen a post with anyone saying they have had success with theirs.
[G Tablet Android Development] gottifour:
It seems like it's looking for a key map file of some sort. Unless im still looking in the wrong place.
[G Tablet Android Development] Icedvoco:
That requires us to have a phone with gps, to tether, as it happens i dont own a phone with a GPS, not everyone will have a phone they can tether, and dont have a bluetooth gps either, i could go out and buy one i guess, but since i already have a USB GPS, which i bought for the Gtab, before i knew it wasnt supported yet, it would be great to use it. I also have CoPilot installed, but just hoping to get the support to use the USB GPS.

Ive sent the message off as suggested, but still waiting for a reply, See what happens.

I also have a usb ir aswell, was hoping to be able to turn my tablet into a giant tv remote, but doubt that will happen any time soon :)
