is this running on Viewpad 10s? (Europe G-Tablet)
[G Tablet Android Development] kornyone:
I have committed a change to Git -- The browser no longer force closes. I have not made a new release of this yet, as I am hoping to get a few more things in there first.

More to come.
[G Tablet Android Development] Coldfirex:
I removed my 2gb mem card, rebooted, and under Settings -> Storage it still tells me I only have about 1.4gb free space on Internal (I should lots more). Is this happening with anyone else?
[G Tablet Android Development] kornyone:
New RC2 Posted

New update is up, now back to working on the hardware acceleration. I don't expect this to pan out, but I am going to give it one more shot.

If anyone finds bugs in this newest release, please let me know!
[G Tablet Android Development] absorbers:
Anyone please make a quik video of the new build.
[G Tablet Android Development] Synman:
omg ... two new gingerbread roms in the same day! I feel like a kid in a candy shop!

thanks !!!

[G Tablet Android Development] kornyone:
* Request for GIT addition of Arabic Browser stuff -- I will work on this and see if it causes a negative impact.

* Request for a video/screenshot of the ROM. Unfortunately, Gingerbread does not allow this with our Nvidia libs. I will need to use an external camera and record it. I will attempt to knock this out tonight.
[G Tablet Android Development] absorbers:
Ok. Thanks! We will wait.
[G Tablet Android Development] Synman:
This rom is fast.... fastest gb so far .... 3090 smartbench .... everything just works.
[G Tablet Android Development] :
Nicely done, looks good, runs smoothly, market seems to work properly, finally!

I have been using the Vegan 7, and it mounts the internal flash drive at /sdcard, consequently all my app settings, mostly I care about my bookmarks and robodefense progress (damnit!), are stored there, and inaccessible on AOSP RC2. I don't have an external micro sd card.

I'm assuming it's a quick tweak in /etc somewhere to swap them around, any pointers before I go munging things up?

edit: A bug (feature?). The lock screen is small, about phone sized, in the middle in the top half of the screen. Will see if I can get a photo later.
[G Tablet Android Development] Coldfirex:
Thanks! I can finally see all of my internal storage after flashing RC2. :)

Unfortunately I have a couple new issues. 2 games now dont work that worked before (Cordy and Air Attack HD). The game Stupid Zombies doesnt work, but it didnt work in RC1 either. Can anyone else confirm these games dont work for them?

FYI, I flashed over the top, cleared the Davlick cache, and the re-flashed the GApps.
[G Tablet Android Development] Synman:
Air Attack HD works fine for me. I'm gonna stick with this one for a while.

I also found a gingerbread wpa_supplicant that adhoc enables it.
[G Tablet Android Development] kornyone:
I think this is a horrible video, but I did the best I could with the equipment available. Also, Market does not generally have the load time it did in this video (it was the second time it had booted with Google Apps freshly installed).

[G Tablet Android Development] kornyone:
Regarding the SD->Internal mapping -- you are not the first on this thread to request this functionality. I have gone the route of using the default Android sdcard mounting schema (using the actual sdcard), but I will see if I can whip up instructions to do this yourself. I do not want to alter the base rom for this.

As far as the lock screen -- the size of it should fix itself once you power cycle the first time.
[G Tablet Android Development] kornyone:
I have not tried these apps, but it is possible that they may not jive with the LCD Density of this release being set to 161 (rather than 160).
[G Tablet Android Development] kornyone:
I just isolated an issue with desktop widgets which are 4 wide not being allowed on the desktop. I adjusted the Density back to 160, and confirmed I could add the widgets.

The trade off is current Google Maps crashing, or having native Density allowing proper Launcher widgets.

Alternatively, one could use ADWlauncher as their Launcher, and this should not be an issue.
[G Tablet Android Development] absorbers:
Nice nice ROM, i licke it.
[G Tablet Android Development] Radon_22:
Ewwww. Don't lick it, you don't know where it's been.:eek:
[G Tablet Android Development] :
Thanks for the reply :)

Yep, the lock screen fixed itself after a reboot :)

I figured out the /sdcard thing, and I'm totally OK with the way you've done it, sticking to AOSP is a good thing!

Here's what I did

*** Warning, may break your system! ***

adb remount
adb shell

I used vi to edit the /etc/vold.fstab file in place. You may want to 'adb pull /etc/vold.fstab', edit, then 'adb push' it back in to place.

find the line:

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1

and make it look like:

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/emmc auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1

Similary for:

dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2

Change it to:

dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2

save the file and exit and reboot the tablet.

Hope that helps others also :)
[G Tablet Android Development] aboad20:
RC1 working fine but RC2 stuck on first Android Logo
[G Tablet Android Development] kornyone:
Awesome stuff man! Hopefully others will find it useful too.
[G Tablet Android Development] kornyone:
Did you perform a wipe of data, boot, and/or system? If so, no one else has reported a simiilar issue.

If you are stuck, you could always hook it up to USB to debug it via 'adb logcat', and let me know what it says (pastebin works).
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
Nice work on this kornyone. I think this is just the minimalist ROM I was looking for. Currently putting it through the ringer to find out if it will work for my daily.

Couple questions:

When I first flashed it, i immediately installed Titanium Backup, super user and busybox. In titanium backup i am looking over the apps that are installed and i see a few I am curious about.

-FOTA kill 1.0?

-one that is all asian characters (sorry i can't recognize them, i think japanese) then 2.3.3. What is this? Do I need to leave it in place?

-terminal emulator, is that a terminal accessible to user?

Its possible that one or more of those is from busybox or superuser (I am still new to all this).

Thanks!

Edit: File system read and write seem a liitle slow for me. also anyone have trouble with air atttack hd?
[G Tablet Android Development] Synman:
Do not install it to SD. I had it on phone storage... worked great.

Moved it to SD and it crashed on startup.

Moved it back to phone and was gold again.

Have yet to find a problem with this rom... on day two and can still do everything.
[G Tablet Android Development] aboad20:
I wipe system, data , cache but I don't format boot , I will try again
[G Tablet Android Development] aboad20:
Same Problem . ( Format system , data , cache and boot ) Then Flash ROM , Wipe data/factory Reset .

reboot system , It's Stuck On First Android logo
[G Tablet Android Development] kornyone:
Hello,

Superuser and busybox are stock with this rom, as well as bash.

* FOTA Kill is part of GAPPS, and not this image. Based on the CM7 notes I could find, this is designed to prevent over the air updates.

* There are two apk's which add additional character set support. OpenWnn.apk & PinyinIME.apk. The latter is what populates the Applications list with the app with Chinese characters. These are both part of the Developer AOSP, which we are building in this rom (it includes all of the AOSP included bits, including the off character support).

* Terminal Emulator is included as part of the Dev build as well. It's available in the Dev Tools kit within the launcher. The Terminal Emulator does not have a launcher shortcut of it's own (maybe a todo item?).

Regarding potential disk/IO slowness -- I have not experienced this, but I do not game frequently. Does the app having the issue access data on the SD card or EMMC? Perhaps that's where the issue lies. Have you tried the same in CM7? A lot of the code is similar.
[G Tablet Android Development] kornyone:
Are you comfortable with a adb logcat when connected to USB? It's quite simple, and is accessible at boot. I would be very interested to see what's going on.
[G Tablet Android Development] Andrmgic:
I'm having the same issue.. it's just hanging at the viewsonic screen..

The only rom that I've gotten to work is vegan 5.1.. and it has a system.img.. none of the roms that have a system folder instead of the image will boot past the viewsonic screen for me.

I'm installing adb now.. I'll grab a logcat for you.
[G Tablet Android Development] kornyone:
Actually, if you are stuck at the viewsonic birds screen, adb logcat won't produce results. It has to at least get to the text "Android" boot screen first.
[G Tablet Android Development] Andrmgic:
Yeah, I noticed that after I made the post.

Any idea what would get me stuck at the viewsonic screen?

edit:

Got it.. I had to nvflash back to the stock OS... when I got this thing "new" from woot, it had an ADW esque launcher and live wallpaper.. somehow that doesn't sound stock..
[G Tablet Android Development] aboad20:
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: Not a directory (20) -
[G Tablet Android Development] kornyone:
I have heard of this happening to someone else before, but I cannot recreate it or isolate it. Basically Gingerbread now uses ASH as it's shell application, which seems to make /bin/sh do funky stuff. What's weird is this should be an all or nothing error -- if it occurs on one install, it should happen on all, and vice versa.
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
mine had some weird apps whn I got it new a few weeks ago from tiger direct. wonder if e-tailers are selling floor models as new now. wish I had made a backup now of what I assumed was stock then.

I tried moving airattack to phne, no luck. shows the splash screen and then just loops.

Thanks for the info.

My io issues seem to have imprved a couple reboots in after my TB restore process. Still not as snappy as I would like/had in some froyo builds. Especially noticeable in games (fruit ninja thd for example).

Overall this is such a great rom.
[G Tablet Android Development] kornyone:
It's worth noting we don't have NVidia hardware acceleration in Gingerbread, so video codecs, and possibly some games, may show the difference between Froyo and Gingerbread roms.
[G Tablet Android Development] aboad20:
How to solve this issue?
[G Tablet Android Development] aboad20:
Solved ..

I used nvflash to back to stock recovery .

Then reinstall clockworkmod . reflash ROM after format /system /data /boot /cache

It's Working , but I have to do this step every time I want to change the ROM

Thank you
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
Hmm, I thought the tegra libraries were providing 3d acceleration and hardware video acceleration was all that was missing. 3d stuff still SEEMS very fast. In quadrant the IO portion seems to take a lot longer for me than it should. I only have the standard version so I don't think I can see the score breakdown. Maybe it is just time for me to nvflash it and start again (i've been jumping around between a lot of roms).

Another question, turning on USB storage mode using ADW Launcher seems to cause reboots. Anyone else experience this?

UPDATE: I turned of USB debugging and then had no trouble turning on USB storage. Just be careful not to have the screen time-out too quickly if you are in USB storage mode, it froze on me when this happened. Also, USB storage is the Micro Sd card, which I think was stated in this thread before. To access the internal storage easily you can reboot into recovery and mount USB there. Maybe there is an easier way, but this works for me.

UPDATE 2: Nothing to do with the ROM at all, I had some bad drivers installed. Fixed them and USB storage mode works normally now in any launcher.
[G Tablet Android Development] Coldfirex:
Me too for some reason. Worked great in RC1.
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
Gaming issues with RC2:

Testing some "Tegra optimized" games.

-AirAttack HD seems to be a problem (looping splash screen on RC2, worked on RC1)

-Samurai 2 works well, but a bit slow for me (I think this is IO related, it only stutters when new enemies pop in) UPDATE: Worked once, now just shows the splash screen and closes.

-FruitNinja THD also a bit slow when new stuff pops onto screen (worked VERY smoothly on another GB rom I used) UPDATE: Works better after I played for a while.

-Dungeon Defenders works well, but the opening videos sure are slow. Damn you hw video acceleration!

Some time today I am going to do an nvflash back to stock and have another go at this ROM from scratch to see if any of this clears up.

UPDATE: I reflashed this rom and I am seeing intermittent success with bot AirAttack HD and SamuraiII. If they get past the splash screensz they play fine. but they only get past every once in a while. very strange. Gonna try repartitioning next.

Once again though, this is a great g-bread rom. Thanks for the hard work.
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
File system question:

It seems with gingerbread that AOSP default is to label the internal storage ("SDCARD" in froyo) as EMMC. It seems like if you have a micro SD card in the slot, that gets mounted as SDCARD. I think it makes sense to me on these tablets to swap those two, but I can't figure out how to do that.

I want to OS to use the internal storage as teh "SDCARD" where .android_secure goes and Android/Data and TintaniumBackup folder and everything is stored to. I want to use the microsd card as removable storage.

Is there a way to tell the OS to use EMMC to put all that stuff on instead of SDCARD? What does the OS use EMMC for anyway? Ideally the solution would have the OS still seeing the micro sd card as an SDCARD but instead of putting important stuff there using /EMMC for that.

I am quite sure I want to follow the instructions in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12512530&postcount=127. It looks like that will swap the way they are mounted. But before I try this, can someone confirm that will have the result I am looking for (microsd card mounted as EMMC and internal storage mounted as SDCARD).

EDIT: Trying to learn more about this. It seems to me that the instructions in the post i mentioned suggest to swap the EMMC and SDCARD so that EMMC is mounted to SDCARD and SDCARD is mounted to EMMC. My remaining question is: Is there a way to get the OS to simply use the storage differently? I want it to use EMMC to keep all the stuff that is automatically loaded to SDCARD. Is this just an issue because most phone don't have this extra EMMC internal storage?

EDIT2: Ok I have figured out whe i want to i think. However, I vote that for gTab roms it should be mounted the other way because this tablet has so much internal storage. eg. option 1 from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=923105. For others out there, I set my vold.fstab to the following with root explorer:

dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2
dev_mount usbdisk /mnt/usbdisk auto /devices/platform/tegra-ehci

Then I rebooted to CWM recovery to copy the microsd card contents to the internal. Mounted internal to PC via USB and put micro SD to a usb reader on PC
[G Tablet Android Development] ninjabortion:
yeah my friend gave me his to flash for him he just got from woot. thing is being a real pain to flash to this but works fine with stock rom found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842000

same live wallpaper stuff though. i've partitioned to 2048/0, tried cwmod flashing to the latest of this that works great on my few month old g tablet, but it hangs at the initial viewsonic birds screen on his from woot. i can restore back to the stock version i downloaded fine, but this version won't work for me. any ideas?
[G Tablet Android Development] katmandu421:
I'm curious, is reverse landscape rotation working in this ROM? I tried it out a few weeks ago when it was fresh but haven't read if the updates have addressed that yet.

TIA!
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
I have no trouble with reverse landscape (upsidedown). I use ADW Launcher so my home screen rotates as well.

edit: nevermind, no reverse laneecape. must hqve been remembering wrong.
[G Tablet Android Development] WebScud:
My Woot order arrived this morning and I decided to dive right in to this ROM.

I followed the instructions here. After installing the ROM, the guide says it may take 15 minutes to boot. The device has sitting at a black screen with white text that says "A N D R O I D" for over 30 minutes. Is that normal? It does not appear to be in any type of reboot loop.

EDIT 1:

I redid the install and it's all set.
[G Tablet Android Development] WebScud:
SD Card Fails to Mount

Rather than use StrangeAttractor's internal memory/SD card swap method, I decided to roll with ASOP the way Google intended. My SD card mounted, then formatted in the OS without a problem. After that it failed to mount again.

I did some Goggling and people suggested partitioning, then formatting the SD card in Clockwork. I did and the device rebooted to the Android setup assistant. GAPPS and everything else I installed was gone. I understand what happened and why -- my question is about how I should get the external storage to work. Should it be done through Android or Clockwork? I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple. :confused:
[G Tablet Android Development] kornyone:
External storage (sd card) should work as intended via USB Mounting in Android. Are you saying that you formatted the card while USB mounted and it did not work afterwards?
[G Tablet Android Development] WebScud:
Oh, no. I formatted the SD card via the storage option in Settings. It formats, but doesn't mount. When that didn't work I tried doing it through Clockwork.

After my lunch break I will try USB mounting it.
[G Tablet Android Development] WebScud:
Nothing I did using the G Tablet seemed to work. I couldn't get the SD card to mount over USB either. I put the card in to my Xperia X10 and formatted it through the phone's settings. The card then mounted without a problem on the tablet.

In the end it's working, but I'm curious why I couldn't get it to work on the tablet. Thoughts?
[G Tablet Android Development] Coldfirex:
is this latest sync close to cm7 rc4?
[G Tablet Android Development] johnkchiu:
Great ROM. Has anyone gotten Adobe Flash working? I downloaded the latest from Android Market (10.2?), but it's not working in Browser (default) or Firefox Mobile.
[G Tablet Android Development] Synman:
Flash 10.2 and Adobe Reader without issue.... both downloaded from the Market.
[G Tablet Android Development] WebScud:
Flash 10.2 installed fine through the market for me too.

There is a thread somewhere that had a Flash 10.1 workaround. Maybe that would help?

[G Tablet Android Development] Argent36:
first off - I love this ROM best one I've tried on my G Tablet so far

only thing I've had problems with is I can't get Bejeweled 2 on it :( doesn't even show up in the market when I search.
[G Tablet Android Development] kornyone:
For compatbility, the commits which are related to the Harmony device repo from CM7 are all current, with the exception of some custom tweaks. The rom is based rom Android source, so pretty much the whole thing is different from CM7.
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
After using it for 6 days straight, I still really love this ROM. Definately the best experience on my gTab. Gingerbread text editing features really make it a step ahead of froyo for me.

The only things I still hve trouble with are two games that will not launch consitantly. These are Air Attack HD and Samurai II. Other tegra optimized games launch every time (fruit ninja 2 and dundef). The really confusing thing is that when they do actually launch, the gameplay is just fine for both games (smooth, responsive, no crashes). Getting them to launch basically seems like luck of the draw. Trying half a dozen times in a row usually gets Samurai II to launch. AirAttack seems even more random, when you launch it it just loops the splash screen until you hit home button. I have tried messing with dpi settings trying anything from 144 to 196 with no real success (at first I tried 168 and thought it worked bc Samurai launched the first time, but it still wasnt consistent). I also tried closing background tasks to see if its a memory issue, but couldn't isolate antyhing.

This seems like a very strange problem because it seems random whether or not the apps launch (which shouldn't be the case in a computer).

EDIT: I also tried a few different versions of Pershoot's kernel. I think I will give the Clemsyn kernel a try to see if that improves anything.

EDIT2: Tried them on SDCARD or on phone. Also have tried with internal storage mapped to EMMC and to SDCARD.
[G Tablet Android Development] Argent36:
Try moving them from the SD to internal memory or vice versa
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
Oh yeah, tried that too.

On a possibly related note, what are everyone's boot times like on this rom? I am getting usually 2-3 minutes to boot. I think maybe something is wrong with my internal storage. I have repartitioned back to stock with nvflash and everything. My writes while transferring in CWM are around 4MB/s reads are maybe 8MB. Seems slow even for cheap flash memory.
[G Tablet Android Development] Coldfirex:
Ahh, I see. I was under the impressions that the CM7 was the android source with tweaks for specific devices.
[G Tablet Android Development] johnkchiu:
tested some more and flash is working on the default android browser but not firefox mobile. can someone try flash with firefox to see if it's only me?
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
I always have trouble with Firefox and flash. Works fine on Opera though.
[G Tablet Android Development] underto:
Hi WebScud.

I don't know if you've figured this out or someone answered you already, but I had the same confusion with my gTab of last Friday. (or I'm confused about your problem) The /sdcard is the internal gTab storage, not any external SD card you might have inserted. Once the gTab mounts your SD card, it'll appear as /sdcard2, which Clockworkmod won't read from for ROM flashing, or the gTab won't mount and share by default (I'm assuming it's possible via some tweaking) via USB.

What I've been doing is transfer your files either via USB cable to the internal /sdcard and go from there, or to an external sd card, then move the files from /sdcard2 to the internal /sdcard.

I think the Samsung Tab has this arrangement as well. It would be great if boot loaders supported 2nd sdcard mounts for roms as well, or some rudimentary mount/file management options. (not complaining! it would be a good feature though)

Hope this helps. Sorry if I'm off base and this was a waste of a post.
[G Tablet Android Development] Argent36:
Flash is working for me in Dolphin HD
[G Tablet Android Development] johnkchiu:
Read some more, and it looks like Firefox Mobile for Android has Flash plugin disabled by default. That explains why it works in the default browser and not Firefox Mobile. Looks like not an issue with the ROM.
[G Tablet Android Development] detonation:
Was using Vegan 5.1 for a few days but decided to try this one. No problems installing but I can't get USB mounting to work. When I plug the tab into my computer, I get the USB Debug notificitation, but no option for mounting USB. Also, I am aware of the whole emmc vs sdcard difference with AOSP, but how does that affect apps? Will apps now expect an external sdcard (aka sdcard2) plugged in to write to an sdcard, or do they still write to the emmc (which is where I see all my old internal/sdcard files from before)?

Lastly, sorry if I'm missing something here, but what is the difference between this ROM and this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007455

thanks
