Well I am on my third Gingerbread rom (6th overall rom) and I finally have gotten the Vulkano to stream in all situations. Last night I downloaded CM7's nightly build 58 and flashed my G-Tablet. Installation was very smooth using clockworkmod and all 128 apps were restored using Titanium back with no problems. I had wiped and formated just about everything I could before doing the installation. After that I went to the market and downloaded the Vulkano player and at last sucess. I was able to stream from the vulkano both locally and over the internet. I realize some other people have had sucess using Corwins rom (CM7 based), and that was going to be next if this did not work. I had previously tried G-Harmony with no sucess, and then Vegan Tab GB with limited succes. The strange thing with Vegan Tab was it would stream over the internet however it would not stream when I was home locally. Watching the bandwidth I was getting at home the software player seemed to choke everytime it was over 1 mb/sec. When I was out of the house and connected over the internet it worked fine at speeds anywhere from 300-900k. This leads me to believe the hardware accelleration that is now included in CM7 is working with this app allowing it to run over my local network. Another thing that I have struggled with is getting recorded shows downloaded to my G-Tab. Well I still can not get it to work with any rom and the vulkano player but I have a work around for now. By down loading the videos using UPNPdownloader (avlalable in the market for free) you can then watch the recordings using MOBOPlayer or Rockplayer. Now for even better news when Rockplayers asks if you want to use hardware decoding and you answer yes the videos run close to flawlessly. On the other two GB roms it obviously would not work using the hardware decoding. They did run on the roms using the software decoding but they would stutter even at the lowest recorded resolutons. When playing high quality recordings they would be unwatchable due to the delay in video processing in which the sound which was a full 3-5 seconds ahead of the picture. This would make all sense since the Vulkano records in the H.264 video format and if I am not mistaken that is the portion of hardware accelleration that is working. Well I hope this helps someone else.
Lastly I do miss the Vegan Tab interface, the VT Launcher was very smooth and the rom was much more tablet oriented. I can not wait until gojimi includes this in his rom since the rom is CM7 based if I am not mistaken. Please excuse any typos and good luck.

Interesting. I have a vulkano, and am running vegantab with pershoot's latest overclocked kernel - I have not gotten around to getting it set up, but under that other OS (er, iOS?) I would pull over 2Mbit/sec (more like 3) for local HD content, and 1.5+ for remote (yay for comcast HSI) - I should test it out. I'll let you know what I see tomorrow!

Sounds good I am interested to see what happens. I am currently streaming between 1.6 and 2.0 mb/secs locally using the wireless router Verizion put in when I got Fios. My iphone streams locally between 300k - 600k usually.

VeganGinger just gives me a black screen and spinning "buffering" with the Vulkano inside the home. Meh. Not so good!
For the record, Vulkano (Monsoon) refuses to support G Tab and Android 2.2 at all. I'm now in a legal war with these clowns. be careful on CM7 as you may still encounter buffering quite often and screen lockups.
Vulkano issues on CM7 for Evo
I have the Vulkano player working flawlessly on my Nook Color running CM7.1 RC1
However, I cannot for the life of me get it working CM7 and my Evo 4G. Tried the stable and testing builds. I'm still debating if I really want to move to a nighly, but I might just do it to see if it works and restore back to 7.1 RC1.
BTW, I'm so happy they finally have a root process for the Evo 4G on Gingerbread!

Hello,
I am trying to make if possible the android vulkano application to work with 4.4.2 or Lollipop and stream while the screen is off.
This was possible with my 2.3.7. But with newer devices seems impossible. I am digging up some old vulkano posts incase somebody figured this out.
Thank you very much.

Here's the new Netflix app that was just released for the evo. i installed it and it plays audio but no video. maybe someone can figure out how to get it work to work for our phones. it says it has G2 support figured it would work since the Shift is just like the G2.
Worked for one movie.
I just loaded the apk attached by the OP.
Worked on my Shift!! I just played a Mystery Science Theater 3000 movie and got video and sound. MST3K:Hercules Against the Moon Men
Tried other movies, which didn't work -- just went back to the queue.
EDIT: Okay, just resumed the same movie and it stopped working. Tried resuming the same movie 3 times, and it worked again, then stopped. Not seeing any pattern.
Yeah, it is not working for me ether. I get to the netfix loading screen and then it just brings me back to the queue.
I tried several other movies. The Sorcerer's Apprentice also worked, but only after attempting to load it 4 times. When the movies does start, it works perfectly. If you stop it, then try to resume, it may or may not work. I guess we'll just have to wait for Netflix to get the bugs out.
i read somewhere that they edited the build.prop for on a nook color and got it to run perfect
I got it to work perfectly. I am running bcnice20 Desire Z port which may or may not have an effect on netflix running. I played many different shows from my queue and searching. Thought I would share for what its worth.
i got it running on my rom. gotta have flash 10.3, and drm.apk, and the other 2 apks that start with pmt. no build.prop editing necessary. audio and video. sense rom only.

I currently have 'VEGAn-TAB ROM BETA 5.1 FINAL' installed as of yesterday and it's already crashed while I was watching a video. I know Gingerbread doesn't have video acceleration so I would like to avoid that if possible.
They're all pretty darn stable. And they're all listed at my site.

It may not be the rom that caused this...what video player was being used? what file format was the video in? when did you select if you were given the option of hard coding or soft coding? Where there are plethora of apps running in the background? What exactly was the "crash, forced reboot, lock up, video/audio distortion? Did the video file play properly on another device, ie your computer?
There are many players out there, some work well, some work kinda "eh." Some can't handle some video formats, some can play them, but not properly. Some vieo formats require decoding, hard or soft (I like hard when speaking of ice cream, but software decoding ususally works for my videos).
I'm using BC (the 1.2 version of VEGAn 5.1.1), and rockplayer to play video. I've been thinking of trying moboplayer, since it seems to have received rave reviews on this and other forums. I've been able to play .avi files with software decoding. MP4 files play fine, but the quality isn't as good..they're made for mobile devices with really tiny screens.
When I rip or download a movie, I almost ALWAYS make sure that it runs fine on my Acer netbook (same screen size) to get a general idea of what I can expect on the G-Tab.
in a nutshell, your issue may not be the rom at all...VEGAn 5.1.1 is probably one of, if not THEE most stable 1.1 based rom out there.

Thanks! I looked at the site.It is a darn good site.
After months of pondering about buying a cheap, but highly rated Android tablet, I took a plunge and bought Viewsonic gtabs, Android 2.2, from tigerdirect.com. Turns out a smart decision! Me & my family love the gtabs, our first, without having to spend double the cost for more expensive Android tablets or iPad. Nice gadgets, at a cheap price. I wish it has hdmi port though. But these are mainly for my kids, to play and to learn, so no hdmi is not a major issue.
Anyhow, I flashed one of gtabs to Gtabcomb Beta 3.3, from my stock TapNTap ROM. I love the speed and performance of Comb, but I currently have the following issues with the Comb:
- Can't play most youtube HD clips in big screen like the stock ROM. I was able to play a few, and compare both side by side, the stock video is more smooth, and better resolution, and in bigger screen.
- Can't play flash on starfall.com, like the stock ROM. Since the gtabs are for my kids, this is a major disappointment.
- Netflix resolution doesn't look good as when played on stock ROM gtab.
- stock camera app doesn't work anymore.
Do you have the same issues with Gtabcomb Beta 3.3 version? I assume a fix is coming soon with new Gtabcomb version?
Thanks to those who spend time on developing this 3.3 version, and sharing steps and experience. Great job!
If video is so important, I would recomend sticking with a Froyo rom since they are the only ones with true, full hardware acceleration. If it's the HC launcher you really like, maybe give the VTL or ADW launchers a try.
Huge thread over in the Android Development forum
Sent from my GtabComb using Tapatalk
The HD video issue is due to the lack of a hardware acceleration in Honeycomb roms. The camera is a known issue and is listed as a known issue in the Gtabcomb thread in the download post. Flash doesn't work in the stock browser but if you download Opera Mobile it should work fine. Not sure aabout the Netflix issue (I don't have Netflix) but it may be related to the no hardware acceleration issue.
Great ROM though, I just flashed it installed it last night myself. Do yourself a favor and replace the keyboard with Thumb Keyboard, you won't regret it.
Yes, HC is a good ROM, very fast. But said, youtube video playback isn't as smooth as clear as the stock 2.2 ROM. I can't play starfall.com (can you try out to see if it works on your gtab or not? ) either, even though i can play flash enabled embedded video clip inside CNN.com.
I currently have 1 in VEGAn-TAB, and 1 in HC. Both work pretty well, but I like the HC better, as it's faster.
I waiting for a new release to fix the smooth video issue and the flash issue. Until then, I love my gtab with HC.
Thx.
I use Opera browser to play flash sites like starfall.com. Works fine. The stock browser just plays sound with no video. I believe this is a known issue.

Screen Orientation and other issues
I installed the GtabComb 3.3 today. Everything works fine except the following:
1. Screen orientation does not change when I rotate the tab. It's stuck in landscape mode. There is no auto-rotate option in Settings, which is weird. I see only brightness, animation, timeout and screenshot in Screen Settings. I'm using the default launcher.
2. Flash videos only play the audio part, no video
Does anyone know the fix for any of these? Thanks a lot!
the screen orentation is probably turned on in the settings causeing the rotation lock as for flash it will not play in the stock browser try opra mobile hope this helps
You guys realize there is a huge thread on this rom already in the development section

Autorotation issue Fixed
I managed to find why my screen orientation was fixed. There is an option called 'lock screen orientation' near the time on the home screen. I changed it to OFF and the screen now autorotates. Hope this helps someone!
I installed this rom too and it is OK for me. Very smooth and fast. Thanks to zyhong!
I installed this rom yesterday after nvflash my g tablet; download when ok after reboot i experience to many force close, flash not playing well camara as well. browser and the rest of the rom it's working just fine
I got the following:
- 13fps for the stock browser
- 18fps for my HP EliteBook 8440p, Chrome
- Opera Mobile: very slow starting the test program. It got stuck at, "How fast is your browser?" for a long time, ~few minutes. When it starts, it is just sitting there at..."Working..."
I've been using Opera Mobile the past few weeks. it works great and fast. Not sure what the issue is.
One app that doesn't work right is the Ants Smasher. On the VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1 ROM on my 1st gtab, it works fine and nice, in big screen. On my 2nd GTabcomb 3.3 Beta gtab, the app launches and works, but in very small screen.
Do you have the same issue?
BTW, starfall.com's flash does work for me now on my Gtabcomb 3.3. Using it to read books with my kids...Yay! Very happy on that. Now, if the youtube HD video/Netflix playback issue gets fixed on gtabcomb 3.3, ie, it plays smooth and in big screen, that would be awesome!!! Netflix works fine, but not as smooth as the stock Android 2.2 (when I initially got it on my gtabs).
I'm currently running GtabComb and all is well except for known honeycomb issues. Anyone that wants to apply a logo where the small "android" text is at boot. I have a thread at slatedroid in Gtablet theme section.I have a bunch of different logos to choose from and all you need is clockworkmod installed.Each logo is in its own update.zip file that can be loaded like any rom, but it only loads image.Strangely it speeds up boot time and doesn't sit for long time like it does at the "android" text..I haven't figured out why yet but is a pleasant bonus.
I would post a link but I am new here and have to wait.

didnt u even read the known issue list?
Hi All:
So I've checked the different threads / forum topics and while some users have reported this issue on certain ROM's Q&A sections, I dont belive this to be a specific ROM issue as I have installed 2 different ROMS (VeganTab 7.1.0 and CM7 REPACKED - currently on CM7 repacked both ROMs are BL.2). I believe both roms are based on the same verison of droid.
With both ROMs, I;ve tried the following:
ISSUE:
With the newest Pandora installed, play a station. The 1st song plays fine, the 2nd song, play reaaaaallly slow. If you press the skip >> button, the next song play fine, the 4th song will play very very slowy
FAILED TO FIXES
1 - Change ROMS, by NVFlashing DETOX (on goodintentions website) partioning the hdd, doing wipes and flashing ROMs
2 - Cleared Data on Pandora, uninstalling Pandora and redownloading from the market
3 - restoring Pandora from TiBU, clearing Data and relog in.
On another note, I've notice HULU, doesnt play as well as it used to in a Default Browser, Dolphin and Puffin. You can start a show in any of them, video play back is choppy (audio is fine) and after the 1st commercial, the browser will freeze and lock up the device.
Other than that the both ROMS work fine but am looking for input on the issue to remain on these new versions of droid.
Thanks
anyone else experiencing these problems?
I have all these issues and would love to find a fix for it...
Im using VeganTab Ginger Edition right now, when playing Hulu the video will get choppy but the audio plays fine
When this happens sometimes the video will simply stop playing or switch to a black screen
the video will stop everytime the show starts up again after a commercial
sometimes the commercials will even have the video stop playing
If I change the video quality, switch from 288 to 360 to 480 and between when the video stops playing or freezes the video will return
I recently switched to vegan-ginger 7.1. I have the pandora issue but have not tried hulu yet.
I think a lot of them are having the pandora issue but have not seen any fixes for it.
I got the issue after 7.1 also - initially not every other song but in an attempt to resolve the problem I installed latest version Pandora app. Now the symptoms have worsened and I have the same issue - every other song plays slowly.
I tried installing the Hulu app - it plays OK but low res. Netflix did play one movie fast motion, but I did not associate this with the pandora issue and did not look closely.I have not had a repeat. Crackle and Youtube seem OK also.
I tried same fixes as nyciz - NG. Will try factory wipe this w/e - but to be frank i'm kinda getting tired of messing with it. Has anyone found a music app that is as good as pandora that works on vegan 7.1?
Ok so I got my issue resolved but it was by loading the older Vegan 7.0.0
This isn't a true fix but I get hulu and Pandora working.
Caution, this version has issue with new market. I froze old market with TiBu to resolve.

I have heard it is GB... but i run GB on my SGS4G and have no issues with Pandora. I don't want to role back to the earlier Vegantab.
I had "fixed" it once, unfortunately, i don't remember what i did.. (big help i know) If i am not mistaken, i used a difference kernel with the Vegan ROM... I have since tried a few diff ones to to avail.
I guess either the devs don't see this as an issue, or they aren't having it. Pandora is HUGE for me, i use it all the time... would love to have it working on my Tab...but i lack the patients, time, and knowledge to try to find a fix... HELP US DEVS AND ALL YOUR AWESOMENESS!
Pandora Songs Playing Slow as Well
I have a Viewsonic GTablet running CyanogenMod 7, internet solely through wifi, and I'm experiencing the same issue. I thought at first that Pandora was running a slow version of the song but I was mistaken. The first song will play normal and whenever I skip to the next song, the new song will play fine but if I leave it alone, it will play slow. Netflix is the only other streaming app that I've used and it hasn't had this issue. I'm extremely new to the Android platform so any help would be highly appreciated.
It's a bummer since I love Pandora.
Like I said in my post, either no one who has the knowledge to fix it cares, or they simply aren't having the issue.

Same issue with Pandora
I'm having the same issue with Pandora playing every other song slowly. Currently running Cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1. If I go back to running 7.0.3 then the Pandora app works fine. I've gone back and forth several times. I've tried removing data and uninstalling the app, but when I reinstall I get the same problem. I had wondered if it were something with the renaming on the device from harmony to smb_a1002, so I tried to change the build.prop. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any where with the problem.
Any input or help that we can get would be greatly appreciated.
Had no issues running Pandora on non Ginger Vegan. Updated to 7.1 yesterday and am having the exact 'slowness' issues stated above.
Amazon Cloud player is NOT having any speed/slowness issues...
Regular device music/playlist plays fine.

Ok guys and gals I think I found a fix:
I sideloaded the new pandora (not on market, just google it) Pandora 1.5.4 Black version. It seems to work fine with no slow down of the songs at least all day...will edit if it fails.
EDIT: AGGGHH it did it again I notice it works fine if you skip but if you let it naturally go to the next song it slows down. It was working fine earlier.......ok I give up....
Did not work for me either. Thanks for posting

I know for a fact that Pandora 1.5.14 works just fine on Vegan 7.0.0
Hey there. I just cracked open the box for my gTablet yesterday and I'm looking for some suggestions.
You see, I bought this tablet mainly to stream some avi[xvid]/mkv's from my networked PC... I had hoped it would be easy.
I flashed from the stock 4439 v2BL rom to Vegan 7.1 using cwm 3.0.2.8 and everything was going great until I learned about hardware video acceleration being broken (also, I could not get cifs working, even through CifsManager. My computer refused to install the ADB Bridge drivers, therefore I couldn't insert the proper modules). So I jumped to Brilliant Corners 1.3.1, and still my videos won't play or look all choppy, and they're playing off of the microSD slot (for what it's worth I've tried mVideoPlayer, arcMedia and RockPlayer to no avail). I'm having an issue with the wifi in this house right now, so I can't test out cifs.
TL;DR Version
So basically I'm looking for a rom with cifs support, and avi/mkv playback. Doesn't have to be High Def or anything, just regular 'ol avi's. Should I just go back to Vegan and use something like Orb Media Server (if it's even still around)? Or does anyone have a better solution.
Thanks!
P.S.
Google Earth working properly is a huge plus as well, as it loved to FC in Vegan. Also, I have to say, for all the disclaimers I read, flashing was crazy easy. Thanks to everyone out there who has written a FAQ/walkthrough on flashing the gTab.
Addendum:
I fixed the video playback issues (back in Vegan 7.1.0 with Google Earth still crashing anytime I click on a Wikipedia link or look at it funny). Turns out my media server is seriously FUBAR - all the avi/mkv's I'd copied over were corrupt...
Also, if anyone ever has trouble connecting a freshly installed Android device to a Microsoft MN-700 router, turns out the default hostname (android-[random numbers]) is too long or something. Changing to just gTablet fixed it for me.
I'm still working on cifs...
