What's the advantage of having SetCPU on "auto" as opposed to "custom"?
[G Tablet Android Development] davidukfl:
I have my wifi set to never however the wifi still goes to sleep by itself. I'm on vegan 5.1.1.

would this be because of the kernel or because of the rom? Is anyone else having this problem. I tried a wifi lock app like I use on my wife's nook but it didn't work

This isn't exactly true.. Nothing worked.. this includes youtube files downloaded via youtube-dl python script.. Xvid did not playback, but that was kind of expected.. After a couple tries of different videos, literally nothing worked.. as in.. videos that played without sound did not play at all. and so on.. but hey, its a start.

works ok for me.

not sure about xvid tho.

.3gp works. youtube hq works.

How did you verify that hardware acceleration is active (talking about # 54) ? There is nothing in the changlog about it.

Graphics benchmarks show same low score.

Media player (mobo and rock) still crash when HW accerlation is enabled.

YT is a little bit smoother indeed but thats about it.

Pershoot,

I've tried playing a .MP4 but I get sound but no video (black screen) using the stock video player. If I use rockplayer or vplayer, I get video but no sound. Using rockplayer/vplayer I still think its using software decoding as its jittery with tearing. However, if I OC to 1.4GHz, its butter smooth but still no audio. I will try re-ripping my DVD to .3GP and see what happens. But youtube HQ looks good!

This question has been answered quite a few times in the last few pages alone.

A simple reflash usually works. You should not be clearing the cache in between flashes and if those fail, you can always copy the specific wifi file.

question: what is the point of mounting NTFS and reading over 4gb files? don't files have to be encoded anyway to a lower quality so the tab can read it? the tab can't read High profile videos, and anything thats over 4gb would most likely be in High profile anyway right? i'm thinking of 720p 4gb movie files. when i reencode a 4gb 720p movie, the file size becomes 2gb.
[G Tablet Android Development] pershoot:
New wifi module is very good vs shipped (its 7 months newer).

You should see increased signal strength and fewer dropouts.

If using vegan, the gui may not update on reboot. Just disco/reco, and it should update.

ok, I'm baffled. I'm getting the same thing. I renamed the directory deleted the file. then recopied it. As you can see the first file copy line I had to remount the directory wr in rootexplorer for it to copy.

[G Tablet Android Development] brew1brew:
actually, I verified that it's there. both with adb shell and with root explorer. and cifs.ko loads fine. it's also in that directory with the same permissions.

So I should be able to load it from any directory? it doesn't have to be in that dir?

Is it possible to use the volume keys to wake the gtab with your kernel under vegan? Thea works with stock and tnt, and "seems" to help/solve the reboot on wake issue if you always wake it with the vol key.

Thanks for your efforts!

Jim
[G Tablet Android Development] pershoot:
vol keys work in tnt. they should also work in vegan.
[G Tablet Android Development] brew1brew:
ok, so I'm going to delete the module and redownload it and the kernel reinstall the kernel and recopy the module over and try again, the thing is it's there just like cifs.ko with the same permissions. I'll let you know how it goes.

Les
[G Tablet Android Development] jmdearras:
What GUI update?
[G Tablet Android Development] pershoot:
WIFI gui (settings) 'may' not update on reboot in vegan (could be a bug in vegan itself), with the new wifi module. disco/reco will have it update.

on tnt lite all is good.
[G Tablet Android Development] jmdearras:
They don't. I just went from stock to tntlite to vegan, to try all three. Only vegan doesn't react to the volume keys when asleep.

Unless I'm doing something wrong!
[G Tablet Android Development] brew1brew:
ok, deleted, redownloaded kernel and modules and reinstalled kernel and uppacket module ext4 and I get the same thing. Funny thing I noticed when I reinstalled the kernel it created /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.27-cyanogenmod/ so now i have that and /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.28-cyanogenmod/ and it doesn't load from ether one. but what bugs me is cifs loads.

[G Tablet Android Development] brew1brew:
No problem, I'm just baffled that it won't load ext4.ko when it does load cifs.ko from the same directory with the same permissions. you sure you set it to M in config and not Y or N?

oh, and how to automount my ext3 usb drive.

Problem

Alright pershoot I'm stuck here. I've been trying for hours to get my NTFS hard drive to mount. I have placed the ntfs.ko and utf8.ko modules in /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.28-cyanogenmod/ and I did a chmod 644 and insmod on both of them through gscript and those seemed to have gone fine(I did although rename nls_utf8.ko to just utf8.ko). Now on this posted my be where I'm losing you. In gscript I created a script called automount and in it I placed this

insmod /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.28-cyanogenmod/ntfs.ko

insmod /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.28-cyanogenmod/utf8.ko

mount -r ntfs volume

Once I click on the script to run I get this in return.

stderr: insmod init_module '/system/lib/modules/2.6.32.28-cyanogenmod/ntfs.ko' failed (File Exists)

stderr: insmod init_module '/system/lib/modules/2.6.32.28-cyanogenmod/utf8.ko' failed (File Exists)

I will try this when i get home. Plus they released 2 more nightlies since i flashed last night. Im so glad CM7 is almost completely functional (at least for my needs). Youtube and HD playback were the only things keeping me on vegan 5.1.1. This kernel is just icing on the cake!

latest gb kernel is a lot slower for me. browsing is noticably slower while scrolling in xscope pro. also onscreen buttons are less responsive in vegan gb edition. cleared cache and dalvik cache when switching kernels. went back to previous version of gb kernel dated 422 because that was working fine.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
You should only be clearing dalvik. Clearing the regular cache could cause undesirable results.
[G Tablet Android Development] gotwillk:
i always clear both. never had any issues. it just takes a while longer to boot up the first time.
[G Tablet Android Development] pershoot:
you have another issue ocurring.

no one else has reported this.

do not clear cache at all before a kernel flash.

reflash your rom clean. clear dalvik (from wipe), flash rom, flash latest kernel, reboot.

get rid of the setcpu custom file (/data/local/setcpu).

setcpu -> auto

or use cpu settings in cyanogenmod settings.

make sure you are stable at the frequency you are intending to run at.
[G Tablet Android Development] Dueces99:
So, clear dalvik, flash rom, then flash kernel all before rebooting?

I've just read multiple ways of doing this here, but I'd rather hear directly from the developer himself :) Appreciate any insight, thx.
[G Tablet Android Development] pershoot:
if you are just flashing a kernel, do not clear anything. just flash.

if you feel something has 'stuffed up', clear cache from the wipe menu, flash rom, flash kernel, reboot.
[G Tablet Android Development] pershoot:
and, do not select any governors (powersave/conservative). leave it be.

i will see about hiding them for the future.

Alright so i searched through this thread and tried a couple of different methods to fix my wifi issue.

I reflashed the kernel without wiping anything

also tried reflashing the rom, then clearing dalvik then flashing kernel

i have wifi set to never sleep but it keeps going to sleep whenever i turn off the screen for a few mins. Am i missing another fixing method?
[G Tablet Android Development] schettj:
The gtab goes into deep sleep after a couple minuets which shuts down the wifi.
[G Tablet Android Development] davidukfl:
Ah well that answers that then :)
[G Tablet Android Development] SoNic67:
Score 4649... Resubmitted it with my nikname and is no.328.

BTW: How do I make a "print screen" on Android?
[G Tablet Android Development] schettj:
If you're willing to live with a 1%/hour or so drain on standby, you can get any number of apps from market that keep the gtab alive when suspended. I'm using Softlock Free - with that a 30 minute lockscreen timeout actually works (ie, after a half hour sleeping the gtab will be on a lockscreen) and wifi is always on when set to always on, because the gTab never goes into deep sleep.

Works well with the 4/25 pershoot kernel - I know this is old news but all us newbies have to re-forge the same trails :)
[G Tablet Android Development] davidukfl:
yeh i tried wifi lock cos it's the same method i use on my nook color. Doesn't work on the gtab though, probably cos of the entire device just going to sleep. I'll try softlock though.

I don't mine a 1% an hour battery drain. Right now i think it's using more battery than that anyway. Over an 9 hour standby period I'll use like 30% battery
[G Tablet Android Development] degr80ne:
Just a quick thanks for all the hard work...i installed ur kernel over the vegan 7 rc1...i install thru cw then wipe dalvik and cache.. after boot wifi is no longer working..i made sure I changed advanced setting to never sleep before kernel flash..i even extracted .ko file and copied it to wlan folder thru root explorer.. reboot and still no wifi.. any help would be greatly appreciated.. thanks in advance

Hell-No Moto
[G Tablet Android Development] :
Man, coming from the nook color threads, I can't believe how often pershoot in on here. Awesome support (even answering questions asked 1000x times before :P)

So all, I've read that the camera/camcorder issue is *possibly* because of CM7 and no hardware accel. I was wondering if that will be fixed/hacked soon, or if there are any alternative apps anyone has had luck with. Fring works well (oddly enough), but can't take a good picture, and can't recorder video. Ideas?

I'm only looking for people with experience with CM7 on the GTab. I've already scoured the market and searched the threads here...so I decided to come straight to the source :P

Pershoot: You rock. My girlfriend's GTab is rockin' and I still have your last G1 kernel that helped turn that into an awesome daily driver (The 14MB ram hack may of helped as well :D )
[G Tablet Android Development] dzasta:
You are only supposed to wipe dalvik cache from the advanced menu. wiping the normal cache from the main menu can you give you undesirable results. your best bet is to wipe everything and start over by reflashing vegan, and the kernel over again.
[G Tablet Android Development] pershoot:
the wifi module is not in place.

pull it from the .zip and use adb to push it in.
[G Tablet Android Development] jyams:
I read somewhere that you don't even need to wipe Dalvik. So, I just flash the kernel straight-up. I've done this through several iterations of the kernel and it works flawlessly everytime. No hiccups, no wifi problems. Never had any wifi problems from the very beginning on Pershoot's kernels. I must be blessed!

But, I do agree, you need to start clean by wiping everything, then reflash ROM and Pershoot's latest kernel. Then when you update the kernel later, don't fool with the regular cache, or maybe even the Dalvik.
[G Tablet Android Development] MJW:
IPv6 Support?

Pershoot,

I made the switch from Clemsyn's kernel to yours and it works great, even figured out how to get VPN and CIFS working without using ADB. A quick question if I could, I see from the first page where you added IPv4/6 options. I don't see a way to enable or configure it. Did I miss something? I'm on VEGAn 5.1.1.
