Thank you sir!

Loaded the module successfully. I am still having some trouble mounting the disk, but I'm almost certain that doesn't have anything to do with the kernel. I'll report back once successful in case anyone else is trying to do this.

Thanks again!

EDIT: IT IS NOW WORKING :D

I took a look at this earlier post about ntfs issues, and saw something about utf8. And when I checked the dmesg after trying to mount the hfsplus drive it said something about utf8. So, I modprobed the nls_utf8 module, and mounted successfully, and read a file(mp3) off the hfsplus drive. YIPEE. So for those who may see this later here are the steps.

Obviously get the latest pershoot kernel, and lib###*.tar.gz files and flash them. ( I found it easiest to remount my /system/ dir and just tar -xvzf /sdcard/download/lib*.tar.gz, but that assumes theres only one lib file in my download folder)

modprobe hfsplus (this requires busybox, I'm using VEGAn-tab and it just worked for me)

modprobe nls_utf8 (this was the step I was missing before)

mount -t hfsplus /dev/block/sda1 /path/to/mountpoint

I'm going to create a gscript to mount and unmount my drive... Hope this helps!

Wake up problem

First of all great work i think this is better than 5.1.1 but i am having a small issue. OK so I"m coming from Vegan 5.1.1 and I flashed GE-7.0.0- Harmony yesterday and all was well it worked GREAT! but then I flashed boot-cm_gb-oc-uv-xtra-vfp_fp-041511 and now I'm having wake up issues. I'm having to re-start if my tab sits longer than an hour. any thoughts?
[G Tablet Android Development] Synman:
Make sure you're installing the gingerbread kernel. The problem you're reporting is symptomatic of installig the froyo kernel on a gingerbread rom.
[G Tablet Android Development] pershoot:
make sure you have flashed the refresh.

delete what you have, re-download and re-flash (updated this morning at 12am; the filename has not changed).

pls report back. if you still encounter an issue, i will make an adjustment to accomodate your specific device.

thx.

[G Tablet Android Development] festivus:
I get the sense that it is an issue with Calkulin and similar ROMs. Not the end of the world, but a pain nonetheless, especially since I use eBates frequently when I shop for something online. I don't have anything installed which would block a URL, and others with this ROM are having the same issue. If anyone knows of a workaround, it would be greatly appreciated!

[G Tablet Android Development] Scott21:
Hi - not sure if this problem is because of my particular gTablet or how installed the updated kernel. I keep getting lockups (a frozen screen with - need to reboot after it happens) - usually with dotted lines on the left hand side of the screen (in landscape) - and is usually a solid color. Sometimes it also happens with a black screen - the device just stops responding. It usually happens a few minutes after boot up on various ROMS - sometime during the initial load screen.

I am running fine on either Vegan 5.1.1 or Vegan Ginger RC1 with the default kernel - but have issues once I install the new kernel on either build. I have tried simply installing in CWM as well as clearing cache and dalvik before installing via CWM - neither seem to help.

I even did a fresh install of Vegan Ginger RC1 and saw the issue right after I rebooted with the new kernel.

Is this an issue with my gTablet or how I am installing the kernel? I haven't even tried overclocking yet - this is what happens with running the updated kernel alone.

Thanks in advance for the help!
[G Tablet Android Development] adampdx:
Huh. I'm not getting those sort of marks. Did you change any settings in SetCPU? Are you using the onDemand governor?
[G Tablet Android Development] adampdx:
@Scott21

Any apps installed that might be causing this? And you say that this happens only after you have installed the new kernel? I would say clear your data, but it looks as if you've already done that. One precaution I've started instituting is clearing data before

and

after installing a new ROM. Also if you're backing up with Titanium, word on the street is data only, no apps when going between Froyo and Gingerbread.
[G Tablet Android Development] Scott21:
Thanks for the quick reply.

Only happens right after installing the kernel - on either ROM. Things are fine before that.

It usually happens with just about any app given some time - I would call it general instability. I see it a lot with flash video. Sometimes it even happens before the load screen is done - after a few tries I can get in but it crashes right away.

Not restoring any apps so I don't think that is it - and I have been clearing data before installing new ROMs. I can try to delete it after to see if that helps.

One big thing I am about is if anyone sees this crashing with the two dotted lines on the left side often. Anyone?
[G Tablet Android Development] pershoot:
Are you overclocking?

Are you certain you are stable at speeds greater then 1000, if you are?

You may not be. In that case leave it at 1000.
[G Tablet Android Development] Scott21:
Unless the kernel overclocks by default I am not overclocking. Just installing it and rebooting.
[G Tablet Android Development] pershoot:
By default it does not. But i may have to make an adjustment for your specific device.

Install setcpu, custom, max 456, min 216

Test each step of max to 1000 and let me know where you lockup.

Thx.
[G Tablet Android Development] Scott21:
Just finished testing. Started locking up immediately after 912 was set as max - can't even boot into it now without locking up shortly after the home screen. This was with the version I downloaded about 45 minutes ago for Froyo with vegan 5.1.1.

Thanks in advance for the help!
[G Tablet Android Development] pershoot:
I will make an adjustment.

Please flash off of the kernel for now.

I actually averaged 4707.2 score on SmartBench with the kernel pershoot released before the most recent (believe its the 4/15 one?) I didnt try taking screenshots cuz I was strictly running tests over a few benchmark apps comparing before/after kernel flash on Ginger RC1. Best score was 4832/2210. Granted, this was done on practically a clean ROM (SmartBench 2011, Quadrant, Nenamark, SetCPU, and Better Keyboard 8) but the numbers are there.

I uploaded a spreadsheet showing all the data couple pages back if anyone's interested:

301

Pershoot, I am running the OC kernel as of Saturday morning around 9 am Eastern. Everything is working great, but I noticed tonight that if I have USB plugged in that the tablet will not go below 301 MHz. Unplugging the cable makes it immediately go down to 216 MHz. I'm not sure if anyone has already mentioned this. I went back 3 or 4 pages and did not see it mentioned, so thought I would bring it to your attention. Other than that things have been rock solid for me.
[G Tablet Android Development] pershoot:
i would rather not attempt to modify that particular logic at this current time as there may be some dependancies in the chain.

when screen goes off and USB suspend ensues, you will drop to the lowest freq.

i'll put it on the list to look in to.

Temp

I am wondering how much of a temperature increase is considered safe? I don't think I have ever increased by more than a degree over a couple of hours, but I am wondering if I should create a rule in SETCPU to scale it down at a certain temp.

i don't think the temp reported in setcpu is accurate for this device.

i will work with coolbho3k, and look in to it.

pershoot: The last version of your kernel that I used seemed to do a good job of keeping wifi awake, but this new one appears to allow it to sleep after a bit. I've got wifi sleep set to "Never," Load Monitor running to keep the tab from deep sleep, and my email checking every 5 minutes (which I figured might tickle the wifi connection), and that along with your last build was a winning combo for keeping wifi awake. I was just wondering if something in the latest build might have affected that, or if you have any tips beyond what I've tried.

By the way, love the OC, this baby is flying.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
When I re-flashed to pershoots new, new kernel, my wifi settings changed back to sleep. I originally had it set on never. Something to double-check.
[G Tablet Android Development] dfin13:
Yeah, changing the setting that is the first thing I do when I install a new ROM or kernel because it's probably the most important feature to me, the ability for the tab to always be connected.
[G Tablet Android Development] pershoot:
seems like coincidence. nothing has changed in terms of wifi from this and the last released, from over the wknd.

it will hibernate after a bit when the tab goes in to deep sleep. it will immediately wake up, when screen on. this is a part of the sleep policy.
[G Tablet Android Development] dfin13:
I heard a notification sound about 6 this morning, after the tab had been untouched for about 6 or 7 hours, when it was my turn in Wordfeud, so I assumed the wifi was staying awake. Then when I finally got out of bed and activated the tablet, I got the yellow wifi icon for a few seconds until it reconnected. I guess something must have activated the wifi around 6 to allow it to retrieve notifications.

Thanks for the reply. It seems that having the gTab always connected might not be possible :(
[G Tablet Android Development] pershoot:
release should be coming tonight.

get yer flashers ready:)
[G Tablet Android Development] geological1:
With the last release (on vegan ginger) upon wake my wifi seems to disconnect and then renegotiate.

The icon in the tray disappears and then comes back grey and then turns green after negotiating.

Before it always stayed connected.

Just some feedback.

I have reflashed and it still happens.
[G Tablet Android Development] davidukfl:
for those with wifi issues, I've noticed the same problem.

I have the wifi sleep set to never, but even after just a few mins of having the screen off it will disconnect.
[G Tablet Android Development] pershoot:
it always did that (you just may not have seen it in time; it reconnects that fast).

it does not always stay connected (once it enters deep sleep, it will hibernate the connection).
[G Tablet Android Development] geological1:
I could be mistaken for sure but I can't go back to check.

It just seems to hibernate quicker and/or take longer to connect.

I notice it more during quick on/on cycles when I check a web page.

Before it seemed to just stay connected.

Sorry it is quantitative.

I have a quick question, as a newb:

I have visited droidbasement and read the installation directions. I am confused about one part. I understand the "Flash the .zip through recovery" part, which i have done before with other devices.

At that point, am I done? Do I need to reinstall whichever Rom I want (ex:

[ROM] VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1) to user over, with deleting data/cache, etc?

I guess part of what I dont understand is this part:

"To use one of the kernel modules:

you will not incur a battery drain.
