Hi - quick question for everyone. I have loaded a variety of ROMs (and done the partition fix) but am frequently getting a full crash where the system totally locks up with a single color on the screen with two sets of dotted lines on the left side of the screen (in landscape). The color varies but the dotted lines are always there.
It happens at random times - but sometimes it is consistent. I always get it with VEGAn-TAB when doing google voice search (hooked up to Dolphin HD) and sometimes when just doing regular tasks (downloading from the market, flash videos, etc).
Is this generally a hardware issue or ROM related? Just curious if I have a problem with my gTablet hardware or if I just need to fully wipe it and start over to resolve the problem.
Also - thanks to all the devs for the great work!
Update: I totally wiped everything and went to TnT Lite 4.4.0. Everything is working fine (including google voice searches) - but if I use anything for too long (like a long flash video) it will still lock up with the two dotted lines on the left hand side. Anyone else seen this behavior?
Update 2: Looks like these freezes (CPU crashes) are indicative of a hardware problem if you are only running at a max frequency of 1GHz. After some troubleshooting with Pershoot I decided to return my gTablet and hope the new one isn't so sensitive. Apparently this is not a common problem with custom kernels at 1GHz max frequency or less.
Just received mine yesterday.
I have the exact problem you are describing (good job describing it) & I am also wondering hardware/software to know if I need to return it. I'm waiting for the battery to die to see if that helps.
I'm using the the default ROM with the OTA 3588 update with a factory data reset done (still remembers my timezone ...).
Thanks for the reply. I went back to stock 3588 with the enhancement pack and flash 10.2 - ran a flash video for a good 15 min and everything was fine. Decided to move back to Vegan 5.1.1 and so far no issues. My common thread so far is when I use any of the newer kernels (like what is included in TnT lite 4.4.0 I see the issue. Then again I have been really careful with mounting system/data partitions when doing my ROM upgrades/wipes so maybe that has something to do with it.
Going to keep using Vegan 5.1.1 over the weekend with the stock kernel and see if I get the frozen screen again.
Anyone else seen the issue on their gTablets?
Anyone seeing this issue with newer ROMs? I was hoping the RC1 Vegan-Ginger build would solve the problem but I still get the frequent freezing. I saw this with TnT 4.4.0 as well but Vegan 5.1.1 never has the problem...
Wondering if it is a hardware, software or install related problem.
I think this might be an overheating issue, since I experience crashes like this while under a heavy processor load, e.g., while using Rockplayer or Google Earth.
Like you, I never experienced these crashes under Vegan 5.1.1. I've only experienced them after recently upgrading to Vegan 7.0.0. I'm using an overclocked kernel, but I get crashes even when I limit the CPU speed to the normal 1.0 GHz.
I did some detailed troubleshooting with Pershoot on this and the conclusion was it might be a bad processor (or really sensitive one) if these crashes are happening with the max frequency set to 1GHz. I too wouldn't see the issue with stock Vegan 5.1.1 - it has a stock kernel. Any modified kernels would have the issue at 1GHz or more. I was able to get it working well with a custom kernel at 912MHz but nothing more than that.
End of the story is if you are getting crashes at 1GHz it is probably a hardware issue - and not a common issue either.
Anyway, my gTab has appeared to be a return (purchased from Woot) - I decided to keep it initially but after learning this I asked them if they could swap it for a new unit. They were great about it - I have a new one on the way. My guess is somebody had a similar issue and returned it (probably to Staples) then Viewsonic sold them to Woot, and Woot sold it to me.
Fingers crossed that the new gTablet will not have such a sensitive processor.
Special thanks to Pershoot for helping me figure this one out!
It happens to me too but only when it's rock player or full screen YouTube. I'm running vegantab 7. Nice rom.....flacky video....I 'don't think it's hardware!

Try runnung the Antutu benchmark from the Market a few times. I found that anything that taxes the CPU enough would cause it to crash. Initially I thought it was only certain tasks but anything seems to do it given enough time.
Seems to last a little longer on a cold boot - once the processor has warmed up and you do something taxing it crashes though.
Ran 3 times....no issues. Maybe your CPU is overheating.

I think it was - on my unit at least it appeared to be a hardware problem.
I switched back to Vegan 5.1.1 and I was still getting crashes when I intentionally stress tested the gTablet. Now I'm trying pershoot's kernel with the default 912 MHz and it seems pretty stable. I'm curious how many other reports of hard-crashed tablets we'll see now that this thread's up.
Good to know - I suspected mine would crash under 5.1.1 if stressed enough but never got it to happen before returning it. If you see any crashes at 912 with pershoot's it would be good to note - mine seemed stable at 912 though.
My gtablet has the same problem. I have tried VEGAn GE v. 7.0.0 STABLE RC1 and CM7.0.3. I tried to adjust the CPU frequency in CM7. Anything above 1000 crashes almost instantly if stressed; at 912, it can run for a few minutes. It seems to be stable at 812, but I haven't tested long enough.
By the way, I got this used off ebay. Does it mean this one has a really bad CPU?

I am running Vegan 5.1.1, Clemsyn's Kernel v9
My quadrant scores seem low..my first run was a 1948, since then I have not achieved anything close to that (1600s), and definitely have not reached the 2400s that most with Vegan report.
I mean, I am not noticing any issues with my tablet's functionality, but I do not want it to be slower than it should be.
Any thoughts on why I am experiencing these low numbers?
Thanks in advance!
I have run quadrant a number of times since, and I am definitely hovering in the mid 1600s
I'm getting around 1900 on mine, and I'm running 2.3.3 one with Honeycomb elements. I haven't messed with the jit settings (that can help a lot). I'm also running ADWLauncher... since thats always running, that could be some of it. I'm not sure if mine is normal for the rom though.
If you aren't noticing anything negative from a low score, I wouldn't worry about it.
Well, I notice some lag occasionally in Dolphin, and in games after having run other apps for a while. I just have no prior experience with tablets to know if that is normal or not

That is true, everything I've read indicates that Quadrant scores in not necessarily an indicator of overall performance. That being said, my first scores were in the 2000+ range. I've heard that switching to ext4 would boost that even more.

I do notice this as well, running TNTlite 4.4.0, and I do get higher quadrant scoress, 2200+. I'm new to android, but I suspect that this is just how it is. (Like when Windows gets bogged down loading programs is a little slower)
The lag I experience isn't anything terrible, but it is there forsure, especially when the tab has just came out of sleep. Doesn't really bug me unless I am in a rush to finish that angry birds level before I get back to work.
Hm...so I guess I just won't worry about it too much. There has to be some reason though that my are 500-700 less than yours though. I just worry that there is a hardware issue with my tab, or some software leeching processing power

Are you making sure to exit those games, (hitting the back button till you get an exit dialog) or are you just switching to home? It may be that those games are still running in the background. Search for an appkiller in the market and that'll also help you turn off other unwanted services running in the background
I've run quadrant before and after exiting everything, no change. Averaging 1660.
edit: And yeah, when switching from one game to another (or anything memory intensive), I make sure to fully close the initial app
I just upgraded to 4.4.0 from 4.3.0.
I saw score of 2400 drop to 1600 also.
System works great.
I am getting 2300 on VEGAn 5.1.1 with stock kernel
Sent from my VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0b5.1.1 using Tapatalk
Go into settings... apps... clear data for quadrant and rerun... I get 1600s sometimes but after I clear data I get 2300s. 2500s on Calkulins ROM.
Also vegan 5.1.1 with clemson v7 & I'm averaging 2300 or so. I installed the 3588 nvidia drivers update I found in the forum somewhere and it boosted my score. Then again they might be already included in rom or kernel and its a fluke my score went up.
I'm also running vegan 5.11 and im scoring 1900 - 2000 except i am noticing functionality problems. I'm using vtl lancher and when i go into the app drawer and swipe to the next page, it lags and ends up dragging an app icon to the home screen.
Hello all,
In your opinions, what is the most stable and bug free rom out for the gtab right now? I have Gadam right now as my daily, but looking for another to switch
between, but I don't want to make the wrong choice.
I really liked TnT Lite, but it doesn't see PEAP authenticated wireless networks. Running Vegan 5.11 now, it runs well too but I've had intermittent issues with the apps market.
To be honest they all have their bugs, you just have to find the right rom that fits your needs. I started with tnt lite when I first got my gtab from woot. I was getting alot of apps fc'ing so I tried vegan tab 5.1.1 then got bored so I tried caulkins which had some issues. Also tried vegan gingerbread which i really like but couldn't play videos so now I'm back to vegan 5.1.1 which is the most stable and works best for my needs.

+1 on VEGAn 5.1.1.
If the rom just working and not having a bunch of force closes is boring then this is not the rom for you. However, if you just want your gTab to be fast and reliable then this is the rom for you.
I'm loving Vegan 7 RC1. It's Gingerbread based so you don't get blazing fast hardware video decoding, but thus far that isn't a feature I use. For browsing the web, streaming the news (video or audio) Wifi location support, etc etc it is AWESOME.
Another one for vegan. I like more the UI of tapntap, looks more like a tablet, but doesn't work as smooth as vegan. Just waiting for Vegan 7 to have the video drivers.
+1 for VEGAn 5.1.1
Keep the opinions coming.
I've been on Vegan Tab and is nice though I do get FC's on more than a rare occasion.
It does not auto rotate the home screen; since we all know the gtab does have the best viewing angles, I frequently flip it around, but every time I go back to home screen its upside down.
Does TnT Lite auto rotate home screen? Which other ROMs do?

I'm using launcher pro with auto rotate enable and it works fine. Rotates to all side, up, down, left, right. Maybe you have to check your launcher?

+1 VEGAn 5.1.1 it is fast stable and runs circles around the stock ROM.
I couldn't comprehend using anything other than the Calkulin+Clemsyn OC Combo. It provides what I believe to be the best ROM (Calkulin) with the best kernel (Clemsyn 1.5Ghz OC) in a single package. If you think VEGAn 5.1.1 is fast, try this combo, it will blow you away.
Fast but no stable and somethings doesn't work like gps tethering, Bluetooth file transfer, etc... so faster doesn't mean always better.

+1 for Gingerbread based rom, seem like custom build rom are better than Froyo almost emulator rip... Eventually they will be the one to use!
Gojimmy has done a very good work with his custom launcher!
Calkulin / Clemsyn is also a very good choice
I can't believe that more love hasn't been shown for Calkulin and Clemsyn. I am running Calkulin's 1.1 with an unreleased version 10 of Clemsyn and it is smoking fast, stable (no sleep issues), and plays videos flawlessly (rock player light).
For my purposes, it does everything better than Vegan 5.1.1 which I loved before.
I am tempted by the new combo rom that Clemsyn is now supporting but I am generally a "if it ain't broke don't fix it" kinda guy.
I would be tempted to try a gingerbread rom if NVidia supports it with drivers.

I've read several people on this thread and others that say such and such rom is faster than such and such other rom. Seriously, what do you guys do on your gTabs that you keep having to jump on the next "fastest" benchmark screenshot? I really don't get it so can someone give me some real life examples so I can understand? Is it purely for bragging rights or what?
I'm running VEGAn 5.1.1 now but before that I tried a few TnT variants and nothing I used my gTab for seemed to be noticibly affected by one or another flavor of rom except for stability.
I use the hell out my gTabs by the way. I watch videos I've ripped, play games like Samurai 2: Vengeance, use remote desktop software to access work computers to do work, create and modify Office documents, and use Flash to watch videos on sites like Fox Television and HULU.
So I just want to know why I should be jumping to a new rom or kernel release every day. And yes I know about pershoot's overclock kernel too which would let you show your buddies a screenshot with crazy fast numbers on a benchmark.
If you're not a newbie and flashing something new everyday makes you feel complete then by all means, do it, we need folks like you to flush out bugs for the cookers to fix. But I feel like we've got a lot of new members that joined us recently that aren't all that experienced at modding and steering them in directions of roms or kernel hacks that are either unnecessary or not very stable for most users' everyday needs is irresponsible.
That's my humble opinion and I'll get of my soapbox now.
Really torn between Calkulin and Clemsyn, and vegan now. I care more about stable and less bugs/problems then speed.
Since going to Vegan Ginger period, I have had zero issues. Granted, mine is for recreational use at the moment so nvflashing often isnt an issue. Not to take anything away from Calkulin, both ROMs seemed just as stable/fast for my daily use. The deciding factor then was look, feel, and (for me) settings. lol Vegan and gojimi's VTL Launcher lets me customize practically anything.
+1 Vegan RC, but to each their own. You wont find whats best for your setup in this thread, not until you try each ROM and see for yourself.

If you plan on using it to play videos then go with something Froyo as none of the Gingerbread ROM's have hardware acceleration so video will be choppy.
Hey everyone I am currently running GtabComb 3.1 and enjoying it, but am just curious if there are people that have ran both FB 5.4 and GTabComb 3.1 and which you prefer. Is one actually better than the other? Are they the same as far as features? Do they have the same quality of video playback even though hardware acceleration is not in either as far as I know. Just kinda curious.
On the Honeycomb side of things, I've only used BoS and FB (also used froyo/gingerbread based ROMs, but they don't feel "right" after using HC). Currently, I'm using FB 5.4 and am very pleased with it; I may give GtabComb a try tomorrow and then give you my impressions.
To me honeycomb is honeycomb they both have their pros and cons.
although i do really like gtabcomb too
The latest port from the Adam/Vega devs is Adamcomb 0.2 and it does run on the Gtab if you are on BL 1.2. Zhyong has taken that port and made BL 1.1 and 1.2 Gtab versions which use Pershoot's kernel, allowing you to overclock and most likely fixing the GSensor. His is called GTabComb and I personally run that now. I used assorted versions of Bottle Of Smoke but Roebeet is on summer holiday. Plus some GTabs suffer sleep of death on BL 1.2 roms using Pershoot's kernel because of undervolting, and mine is one of them, so I like that Zhyong has a BL 1.1 version that is in every other way identical.
So long as Zhyong keeps up with the Adamcomb versions and puts them out for BL 1.1 and 1.2, I'll probably stick with that.

Running 5.4 and its been great!
Its holding me over until the next gen of tablet software is released.
The G Tab is the little tablet that could... Its a shame the world has dismissed it.
Been running Flashback. Solid ROM, responsive, fast, I haven't had any issues with it
I have tried FlashBack, BoS, and GTabComb on 1.2. All three are done well and worked for.
GtabComb has been the best performer with the least amount of issues for me. I have been on it the longest at this point.
Once HW Acceleration and Flash is completely fixed I will be extremely happy. I use mine for business so the HW Acceleration is not super important, but I still want it. I can get around flash by using Opera for now.
GtabComb here and it works great. It has replaced my planner at work. Happy that bluetooth is back in b3.2.
+1 for gtabcomb, running for a few days now and love it
Oddly enough gtabcomb is hugely popular on xda while its all about FB on slatedroid. Anyways, this is not authoritative but my two cents goes towards gtabcomb and specifically I used 3.2 in comparison with FB5.5. Gtabcomb is quicker/snappier from what I could see, and even dealt with program crashes a lot better. When games or programs crashed, at least I cold exit to home page. For my Feb experience, it was 85% hard reboot in these situations. Both are great devs but tlbardelljr rolls out updates quicker. If you ever get past the ooohhhs and ahhhhhs of HC, you'll see the infancy of it and the plagues of slowdowns, DC and every game shutting off on you within 15 minutes of play even off the cleanest of installs.
I have tryed all the HC ROMs and I concider them all very good I am currently on GTAB combo 3.3 and it runns very fast and I have not had any problems
all hc roms are almost same
I have used BoS, FB and Gtabcomb, along with my own customizations specifically on lowmem settings, mount options and init.rc. I really felt there were only minor differences. If you unzip the files of each of these roms, and do a "diff -r --brief", you will know what are those differences. Only a handful of files are different, really. So if you want you can pick and pock the goods from each.
As somebody else in this forum mentioned no two persons will like the same exact kind of combinations on a rom. When I get some time I could document my changes and release that doc.
I like the philosophy of some rom developers, who keep the base system image same, and then release deltas on top of that (delete some files from base, and add some other files to base). Irrespective of what I like, all these developers are doing a great job, and I cannot forget that they are taking slots from their personal time to do this.
I got my wife a gtablet from a member from this forum.
It came with older version of G Harmony and some of the soft buttons weren't working. That's fine, wiped, wiped and wiped again and then installed the latest.
Now I'm noticing it's having problems with going into sleep and not waking up. (not all the time but often)
I did the do not sleep from the setting screen and still the same thing.
Now I need a rom that she can use daily without any issues with youtube and hulu working and all the videos working great.
Any suggestions? or did I get a dud?
Any overclocked froyo version will do just fine. Stay away from CM7 as there has been a huge number of reports of problems coming from that end.
full wipe everything and vegan 5.1.1 oughtta set you straight

What he is talking about are keyboards that oyu can download from the market. They'll be different colors, different layouts, etc. One that I like has a voice and gesture input method.
on most roms, all that's needed to change the keyboard is to long tap on the text area, then activate the new keyboard. In Calkulin Clemysn, it's much different, as the stock keyboard is in the system files, and needs to be switched with the new one for it to work...
I personally have no issues with Calk's stock keyboard, so I haven't bothered changing it.

Vegan 5.1.1 is better because it's froyo and not GB.
Froyo has hardware acceleration and GB does not, so that's why I went with that. You can go RC17.0 but I don't really see what it has to offer over the 2.2 version and it's not as fast or snappy.
I am personally running CM 7.1.0 Nightly and it seems to work great. No real issues that I notice. What is so much better with Froyo? I don't watch hi-def video so then full hardware acceleration isn't really an issue for me, correct?
Basically, I'm trying to figure out the tradeoffs between froyo and gingerbread roms.

I used CM7.1 and it had a few quirks. The app drawer sometimes lagged while open, sometimes things lagged just a tiny bit. Overall it's a good ROM, but netflix was fubar.
I am currently on CM7.03, netflix works, a few bugs but not too bad, I can take the tradeoff.
Froyo is VERY snappy, no bugs for me, seems faster than a SGT actually. Video playback is awesome, and some HD games.
My personal favorite is CM7.03 for netflix and CM goodies.
Netflix is working great for me with 7.1. Had to mod the build.prop file but otherwise great. Does the interface look much different between froyo and gingerbread?
I guess this probably won't much of a deal once there is a good, stable HC rom to use. The interface is just too slick to pass up (once basically everything is working well). Actually gtabcomb sounds like it is getting pretty close (except video acceleration and the camera).

there's no hardware acceleration in GB either.
So I tried both Calc's + kernel and vegan +pershoot kernel rom.
Both are very snappy and responsive but found cons with few.
Vegan rom with pershoot kernel has the slow to wake issue with me having to have to double click on the power button to turn on.
Calc's rom with clemsyn kernel is great but at low battery, it starts to crawl.
It doesn't feel like 1.2ghz but more like 300mhz and it was still near 50%.
Wifi takes forever to turn back on.
Any tweaks that you guys can recommend ?
Where do you see the hardware acceleration difference? Really just with high def movies?
Siptang, can't you go into the performance settings and change how it behaves at low battery levels?

I've bought my prime for slightly more than a month now and I've noticed that sometimes there may be random restarts after the screen hangs, for example while playing Asphalt 6 and browsing through flash heavy websites today at separate times, the screen turned irressponsive (Not even the home buttons worked ) and my prime restarts, has anyone experienced this before ? I'm troubled as whether or not my prime is faulty, if so would I need to prove that it is for a warranted exchange?

this can happen on pretty much any arm slate or phone.
I experienced this myself on all my devices (though very rare on the iconia).
On my desire, the stock rom suffered it very frequently when playing intensive games, once I had modded everything and ran an aosp rom with a completely stable and custom kernel (courtesy of thalamus <3) my mobile never ever did it since.
It simply occurs because the kernel is not completely bug free and also no processor is ever made equal, you could find eco may cause restarts more randomly if your processor cant handle lots of utilization on the companion core and undervolting, it may also happen on the higher settings on processors simply due to the kernel.
It's no reason to give up on your device or worry that its defective, if you try hard enough im sure you could get just about any stock arm device to soft reset through multitasking a bunch of intensive things at once and dicking with its governers at the same time.
some of the custom kernels are already looking epic promising like shakes, these paired with aosp roms will introduce a far better level of stability to our tabs, its just a matter of time.
