[G Tablet Android Development] Linuxslate:
Thanks, druid, Just updated Thumb Keyboard and now it works!

TnT keyboard still does constant FC no mater what I wipe/clear etc., but I guess I don't care now that I have the normal keyboard and Thumb.

As far as mounting storage, I would like to see both the internal user storage and the SD card.

After all my posts on this, I am really not that picky as to exactly how it works. They could both just mount, or it could work like the Augen tablet in that it only mounts the removable SD if it is unmounted from the tablet.
[G Tablet Android Development] Gajun:
do I have to install the audiofix.apk and reboot every single time to get it to work?
[G Tablet Android Development] tom62015:
@gajun.. once you install the audio fix it will work till you wipe data/factory reset in clockwork mod (recovery).

for those having boot issues/ market issues for cm7.. get access the rom manager by clockwork mod (sideload, flash different rom... Vegan tab has working market right off the bat, whatever you have to do...) download this rom and put it on your sd card... then in rom manager tap flash rom from sd.. now if rom manager asks you to do something, do it. For example, it will ask you to update rom manager of flash recovery... once you are up to date tap install from sd card, find file,(keep in mind internal sd is emmc for cyanogen mod) let clockwork mod do the rest... one other note, if you reboot and dont go into recovery then repeat the procedure but when you reboot hold the recovery buttons (power and volume up) to help it into recovery... then clockworkmod should do the rest... i didnt even have to download gapps this worked perfect... for some reason i couldnt get cm7 flashed at all (bootloop to infinity with all adb commands everything mounded and partitioned all ways) so i used rom manager... i usually am a amon ra guy cause of my evo wimax partitions so i forgot how awesome rom manager was... anyways hope that helps...

Edit: bitrix you are doing an awesome job on this rom and Ultimate Droid, thanks for making this device catch up to the i pad so fast... hehe

acore issue

I flashed this in last night. Everything was running great until this morning when I started receiving constant acore failures. I first turned off Google synch for the calendar and contacts as I do not use these. This reduced the frequency of the error messages. I next turned off the GPS location service. This appears to have cleared up the issues, I havent had an error message for 20 minutes.

This is a great ROM for a beta. Looking forward to a final tablet specific product.

acore issues persist. I am also getting an error message for location services for gapps.
[G Tablet Android Development] kampf:
Indeed I wasn't. Most is well now, though I'm still dealing with Market issues today with hopes to confirm the method outlined a few posts up.
[G Tablet Android Development] abstrusius:
Glad to hear everything's alright. Don't worry about the market, it will take two or more of those "fixes", but it will be fully functional.
[G Tablet Android Development] kampf:
Thankfully I had a backup from using VEGAn, so I restored the App+Data, closed it when it started (and didn't work), and noticed that Ti was still restoring App Data. Restarted it and it's working great now, showing the showcase of apps and listing installed apps too.

Now to CWM backup this thing before I break it again!
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
My market still don't show no installed or restored apps. Any trick? I did clean install. I have two backup using CWM. I have Vegan5.1 and this as two backup, and I switch back and forth by doing factory wipe, and restore.

Vegan 5.1 works fine after restore, but This Beta05 won't show anything on the market even the apps are there, and functioning.
[G Tablet Android Development] kampf:
It turns out that restoring Market from a two-day old backup (made in VEGAn) worked once. I then restored any application which wasn't installed at the time, from that same backup, and Market doesn't display the Showcase and shows no apps installed.

Tried restoring again. Wiped data.

Going to keep poking at it.
[G Tablet Android Development] abstrusius:
"and Market doesn't display the Showcase and shows no apps installed."

No paid apps appearing is a known problem. Don't bother about it. But they will show as purchased, if you search for them, enabling you to download without having to pay for them again.
[G Tablet Android Development] kampf:
Paid apps is not the problem.

Downloading an installing another app doesn't cure this, nor does it show.

When going into My Apps, it says that there are "No Downloads from Android Market".
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
Has anyone heard from Bittrix lately?
[G Tablet Android Development] abstrusius:
Sorry, kampf. It's all the apps currently installed, including the purchased.
[G Tablet Android Development] gksmith:
I've been unable to purchase any apps lately.

Also, booting the device is really slow. My device seems to spend a lot of time with the animation screen.
[G Tablet Android Development] kampf:
Likewise. VEGAn boots much, much quicker, but it's probably due in part to some of the optimizations in the FroYo build it's based on.

I tried fixing permissions in ROM Manager, and while that got my Showcase to come back in Market, My Apps still gives the same error. Curious.

As a side note, SDMove sees my apps, but I'm unable to click on them to move them to and fro. Maybe it's an .android_secure thing?
[G Tablet Android Development] bittrix:
Sorry... was away for my real job yesterday. I'm just leaving again for today and tomorrow. I'll be back to CM7 on Saturday.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
No problem. Thanks for the reply, and good luck.
[G Tablet Android Development] lifeisfun:
He he, that sucks!

Time to get your priorities straight :D

Thanks for all the hard work
[G Tablet Android Development] kampf:
All other issues aside, this is a great experience. I really, REALLY prefer the 2.3 build feel to VEGAn for the density it affords. VEGAn is a splendid tablet interface, but it'd be better suited for a smaller device.

I did find an audio quirk that I'd be surprised if anyone has seen before:

When playing back audio and returning to the home screen while using any of the audio visualizing Live Wallpaper, the track will stutter, then skip to the next track. Returning to, in this case, Winamp, keeps the audio going, but returning to the Home screen does this again.

Non-visualization Live Wallpapers work. I suggest that whatever audio hooks the visualizing Live Wallpapers use are broken either in the build or by the audiofix.apk. It would be very cool to see a 10" visualization while I play music, but...
[G Tablet Android Development] kampf:
To add to my experience with this rom, I am finishing up a three-hour radio show using Winamp and the G Tablet as the music source. Sync just started up and, annoyingly, it's making the audio cut out every once in a while, but it's worked otherwise flawlessly.

I've also played nearly four straight hours of music, with the display fully lit the whole time, downloading two large podcasts and scrobbling each Winamp play. The battery indicator has yet to reach an indicated %50.

Nice.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
Good to hear that it is doing better in battery consumption. Do you guys notice that at times, this rom becoming very sluggish?
[G Tablet Android Development] tom62015:
if you wanna see how smooth this rom is download ultimate droid their launcher is adw still so its basically cm feel... the problem is if you power off for any reason you will bootloop to infinity so load both roms to switch back its worth it to see how great its running hopefully those fixes will be in for this weekends build
[G Tablet Android Development] pc2828:
Are you running stock kernel? I noticed lag whenever I run Clem's kernel with CM7. Anyone else?
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
I ran mostly stock, but I am going to try Clem's. May be it was during Clem's that I tried briefly. Honestly, can't remember right now.
[G Tablet Android Development] HorsexD:
Flash isnt working for me on this rom. I got the right version.. It worked on vegan 5.1 but not on this. Anyone else having probs? :confused:
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
true.. I had no flash also.
[G Tablet Android Development] bittrix:
{from a secret location somewhere in the Canadian Rockies} I just installed Adobe flash player from the market. working fine on misc flash animations and "real" youtube.
[G Tablet Android Development] pc2828:
Flash working for me
[G Tablet Android Development] abstrusius:
The same for me!
[G Tablet Android Development] gksmith:
Still can't purchase anything. com.android.vending FCs.
[G Tablet Android Development] abstrusius:
I can't buy anything either. Frustrating.
[G Tablet Android Development] HorsexD:
:D got flash to work. Using one from market. Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] gksmith:
It's saving $$$ so I can't complain too much.
[G Tablet Android Development] drumdumb:
ok first I love this rom. But just a few probes which for me doesn't make it a daily user!!!

gtasks can't sync

Pandora wont steam

Market problem

can't watch videos from my GoPro hero!

Otherwise great work!
[G Tablet Android Development] HorsexD:
wonder what next release will fix :rolleyes:
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
If there is one anytime soon Since Ops is really busy doing his daytime job. This is really really good rom after vegan. Switching back and forth between two using cwm.
[G Tablet Android Development] kampf:
Trying this again. Giving it the wipe everything, and i mean everything, college try this time.

Only thing I plan on restoring from backup is my Angry Birds data. :D
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
I only have the problem with market. I can seem to steam pandora fine. I have not bought any apps, so market is not big issue for me.

Map is really working good for me, and may be more native driver related fix will do it for me.
[G Tablet Android Development] gksmith:
I'm noticing a video bug that's annoying. Odd white lines in menu options. In at least one menu the bottom f the screen is distorted. Only happens with this ROM. Also Angry birds tends to lag at time.
[G Tablet Android Development] acooper:
Any Fixes for Playing Video?

Have posted this before as well as seen others post issues with playing videos in this CM 7 build. Has anyone had any luck with a fix or certain player. I have tried using both .m4v and .mkv video files with a ton of different players (Rock player, Double twist, stock video player, etc.) Keep getting "video cannot play" error. Any news or suggestions with this issue?

Thanks to all on here for the help.
[G Tablet Android Development] kampf:
I've had awful luck with video on this device, no matter the ROM or player. Even a 490P m4v seems a little choppy, not to mention anything 720P and above. It's confounding to think that Boxee and XBMC aren't interested in at least popping in here and dropping an Alpha or Beta build of their software for us to test.

It does seem that some of the issue is that the decoding potential of the Tegra 2 is hampered by the inability to easily ensure that whatever ROM we're using has the latest and/or best hardware drivers and that the kernel (OE, clemsyn, or pershoot) has support also.

I'm half tempted to return this to Officedepot, drop another $100 and get an 11.6" Acer Core i3 laptop that I know can run XBMC and probably play 1080P High Profile video just fine with similar, if not better, battery life. Six more days to decide...
[G Tablet Android Development] palagai:
I dont know if tegra 2 has any limitation for playing 1080p, but for now android is not for dual core until honey, currently vital player plays mkv,m4v etc and read somewhere vlc is coming for android.

Even there is an XBMC branch for android, all can see is today g-tablet is not prime for media but it won't stay long that way in 2 month time it would all change.
[G Tablet Android Development] acooper:
When running TnT lite and VEGAn ROMs I had no issue playing m4v files. They actually played extremely well in multiple apps (Double Twist, Rock Player, default player). Therefore it doesn't seem to be a device or processor issue. My question was directed specifically for the CM7 ROM. I love the ROM but video is causing problems for me. The only way my tab will let me go back to VEGAn is to NVFLASH and start over with a new install. Apparently it doesn't like to flip flop from Froyo to Gingerbread builds.
[G Tablet Android Development] bittrix:
Gingerbread = Work in Progress

Hi all, the core changes in gingerbread have broken some of the workarounds used by software designed for froyo and earlier. Specifically, everything needs to use stagefright now for video decoding stuff. I'm retrieving the actual GB source now to see if I can find updated framework stuff to move into CM7. It may be easier to move the CM7 UI elements into GB instead, then tweak for hardware...

A lot of the UI/connectivity layers we're using were ported over from the froyo builds, so there's some reengineering to do.

Also it appears that hardware-assisted streaming activities like video, audio and net/block/transfer will require updated drivers from nvidia, and they're currently pretending that 2.3 doesn't exist. Everything will be done in software until then, so performance and battery life will suffer as a result.

I fear that nvidia's stone-age mindset will leave the Tegra line right where it is... great potential, no way to reach it. (bittrix is frustrated).

I'm away again Monday & Tuesday, but should have some time in the evenings to keep working on this.
[G Tablet Android Development] kampf:
Tegra 2 can play 1080P, but apparently not High Profile rips, which is why the Boxee Box migrated from Tegra2 to a CULV Intel Core architecture.

The G Tablet documentation pretty clearly states the capabilities, but they're likely copy/paste from the nVidia Tegra 2 specs without regard for OS, kernel, and application considerations.

I agree that the tablet will play many/most formats in Rockplayer, DoubleTwist, VitalPlayer, and the like, but anything over 480P it seems to struggle with. I have documented some of my findings here with VEGAn:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10972258#post10972258

CM7 video playback support seems to be a WIP, after simply getting it stable, usable, and the like. When the Honeycomb ASOP rolls out, I think we'll have something much more capable than this.

Come to think of it, this reminds me of back in 1997/8 when I had my first dual-CPU computers and had to toil through Windows NT 4 because Windows 95 had zero SMP support.
[G Tablet Android Development] HorsexD:
Sooo Hows the progress on this rom going? :D
[G Tablet Android Development] seesser:
I too had the can not play issue but only after I updated my rock player!! I had an older rock player that worked just fine so I went back to it and play my movies just fine. Here is a link to the rock player:

[G Tablet Android Development] lordgodgeneral:
Any problems with HDD on CM7??

Has anyone here used an external hdd on CM7? I picked up a cheap western digital 500gb passport, and got it formatted to fat32. Used a linux box to format it, so I know its only one partition. Keep having a problem with it though. When I hook up the usb, the light comes on, and the drive spins. The tablet starts to act like its scanning, then locks up and reboots. Anyone else having issues like this?
[G Tablet Android Development] kampf:
That's definitely going to be power related. The GTab can't provide the amperage and voltage to get that spun up.
[G Tablet Android Development] Icedvoco:
From the todo list

write custom gps.c to interface with USB GPS mouse

This sounds like ttyUSB support, to be able to use a "usb gps" with the gtab? Am i reading that right ? Any idea how thats developing ?
[G Tablet Android Development] HorsexD:
Love This Rom! Just gotta work out some bugs But still, I Cant wait for Next update! This is Sweeet! :D thank you!
[G Tablet Android Development] ddarvish:
vegan is starting to get on my last nerve.. i need to update but this guy still has too many bugs.. cant wait till it gets updated!
[G Tablet Android Development] qubz:
Google maps is always force closing for me. I have tried re partitoning, re flashing both gojimi's and this rom. I've tried removing with root explorer, installing through cm gapps 20 and the market but it still crashes on start up. Strange thing is that it was working initially with gojimi's and it works with vegan but every time I flash to a gb rom which i want to run it crashes. I'm lost about what to do and am thinking about a nvflash restore to start from scratch. What do you guys think?
[G Tablet Android Development] danielsjam:
Same here on cm7. Ok on tnt and vegan. Seem to have started with the Google map update a few days ago. On my other rom's navigator get installed as part of map, but this is not so with the update. Maps worked on cm7 prior to the update, I think if you have an older version of maps installed prior to installing the update, it will probably work.

UPDATE: To confirm v5.1.0 is broken on cm7 - I restored a backup from 1/28/11, with Google Maps v5.0.0 which works. After updating to v5.1.0 from the market, it breaks maps in cm7. I reverted back to v5.0.0 and it is working again.

For those that want maps v5.0.0, I am attaching a copy here.

JD
[G Tablet Android Development] qubz:
I'll give it a shot from an old titanium backup. Will post back how it goes.

UPDATE: Your apk in the post above solves the problem. Now for they chefs to update their rom to use 5.1
[G Tablet Android Development] seesser:
I had the same lockup and reboot when I used a 32gb flash drive. But after the reboot it was found under the usb drive folder. So now I just power down the tablet then plug the flash drive in and then turn the tablet back on. Everything works fine this way.

Viewpad 10

I've just bought an Viewsonic Viewpad 10.

Is there any chance this rom will work on it? Or is there any other ROMS??

I've tried several from Android x86 page, but noone is usable for daily use.

I'm stuck with 1.6 and win 7. I really want a new one :)
[G Tablet Android Development] HorsexD:
doesnt support anything after android 1.6 so ur gonna hafya stay on that. oh and hows viewing angles for viewpad? better than g tab?

http://www.android-x86.org/ should help you. That's an Intel tablet.
[G Tablet Android Development] TeutonicWolf:

Quick Update

I've gone back to the "source" updating the core to 2.3.2 and carefully adding in framework and proprietary files to try and find an acceptable combination. I have a whole new appreciation for roebeet, rothnic, gojimi, and the kernel gurus... I'm using a reasonably quick laptop just for OS development but it still takes nearly 2 hours to compile/install/try a new build. I'm still on the road for work, but will be working hard on this over the weekend - after I take my wife out for a date.

Problem is... by the time I get this perfect the Honeycomb source will become available and the whole thing will start again :D
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
YOu should put something, so people who likes your ROM can appreciate your effort which will help you buy a dinner for your wife :) Just a thought.
[G Tablet Android Development] graphicsman:
Agreed. If we can donate, then perhaps you can buy a faster laptop/desktop. e.g an i7/SB laptop or a 6 core AMD box for parallel builds. If you are not building multi-threaded, that might be an easy way to speed up your builds for now. I have a few 6-core AMD boxes, so a make -j7 does wonders to speed things up (I'm mainly disk speed limited now on builds for work...)
[G Tablet Android Development] djbspliff:
I agree with dude post a link for donation even if its a dollar. If lets say 500 like ur **** a dollar ain't much man and I would gladly donate that would be like 500 each release from people who appreciate ur work hell I would gladly donate.
[G Tablet Android Development] josh_131:
First off, Great Build!

Secondly, I subscribe to Slacker radio. can anyone else confirm issues with running it on the Beta5 build? I login and it goes to a solid black screen. I even tried wiping and repartioning and no luck.

thanks!
[G Tablet Android Development] P0RT3R:
My Slacker Radio client runs fine. I believe it reported version 2.1.164 at startup. I am not a paid subscriber.
[G Tablet Android Development] Blades:
Just noticed on a recent compile of the cyanogenmod got (brunch harmony) that the built in cpufreq interface FCs.. We're going to have a helluva time trying to get this processor to play nice like the others. Can't even cat scaling_governor (which is probably the cause of the FC. Returns invalid length. Hell.. I'm going to try to echo something to it. Gonna post this in case things get fubar.

echo ondemand > scaling_governor

Seemed to do nothing. Same invalid length when I 'catted'.

Anyways, this Nvidia proc is going to be a pain in the ass.

It appears that Google map is broken with the latest Google map in this ROM. Has anyone gotten map to work? I may have to restore map from the backup.
[G Tablet Android Development] bboyle:
I tried this last night. It looks good but isnt ready for the Gtab. All of the phone components are still there, wifi problems exist. Tried to add Klemsons kernel and boot looped.

Flashed back to this ROM this morning.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
I did the same thing. Is your map still works?
[G Tablet Android Development] bboyle:
No Maps doesnt work. As I understand, if you uninstall the current version and go back to the previous it will work again. I havent tried as I dont use Maps on the Gtab.
[G Tablet Android Development] josh_131:
Weird, I have no idea what the issue is. I have Pandora running fine on it.

Mine is version 2.1.170, wonder if that makes a difference... Maybe I will have to rummage around for 2.1.164
[G Tablet Android Development] johnh123:
I saw somewhere some suggestion that an external SD card was needed for the cm7 beta - any truth to that?
[G Tablet Android Development] gmcbay:
IIRC that is true. You can install and run the OS without an external SD card, but to install anything from the market, etc you need to put in an external SD card because of the way the partitions are set up.

Also AFAIK the link to this beta 1 some people are excited about is just the same build as gojimi linked way back in post #18. Haven't seen any indication of a newer "official" build.
