Does the Starburst ROM have Wifi problems? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently installed the Starburst ROM, and I noticed that I get a lot of "network error" messages when I try to stream from Amazon MP3 cloud. I never had these issues on stock.
Any advice/help on fixing this issue?
Also, I wanted to post this in the Starburst ROM thread, but I don't have enough access yet.

I'm using the StarBurst ROM and it works good for me in my visible 2.6 and 5GHz
networks. I know some android devices has problems with channels > 11 but my GT with the Starburst ROM works fine. Both Youtube streaming and Spotify works.

Yea, Youtube works fine for me too. So maybe this just a problem with Amazon MP3?

CM7 and Moonsoon's Vulkano

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.

[Q] Anyone having problems with netflix.apk?

Hi everyone, I am running kahlpowers miui v4 (yes I know it is an old rom and am about to upgrade) but I am having problems with the netflix.apk from the market. When I play a video, it doesnt play smoothly at all. The video buffers fine but the video looks REALLY laggy and the audio is out of sync. My connection is fine because I am connected to wifi. Is anyone else getting this issue too? and if so, what rom are you using?
THANKS...
[Netflix app version 1.3.0 build 246]
I have switched in the last day to CM6 and I am still getting the same issues in that rom with netflix.

[Q] flash player for cm9

is flash player on cm9 working now?? I want to update to cm9 but only if the flash player is working.
What do you mean by flash player? Web content like ads and flash video (as long as its not HD) work fine. They've worked fine since alpha 0.
Sent from my Team A CM9 Alpha 0.03 Nook Tablet
Yes that is what I meant. Thank you! Going to update to cm9 tonight.
You wont regret it, its so much better than gingerbread.
Well I loaded cm9 0.03 on my nook 16gb last night. i liked the format but the wifi was kind of weak and sometimes would not connect. did not have this problem with cm7. also the flash video loads very slow (not trying to watch HD). not sure if this is because of the wifi issue or not. games and everything else looked ok. i decided to go back to cm7. mainly because of wifi issue. any ideas on this issue???

Anyone Use Slingbox?

I purchased the Slingbox application and I cant get the video to work on either the Axxion or Slimkat Rom. It worked with CM. Any thoughts on what the problem could be? It works fine to my laptop.

[Q] Any non-TP owners having trouble with Netflix (garbled video)

Hey all,
I wanted to see if a problem with Netflix is unique to the HP Touchpad running CM11 (4.4.4). The app works fine when browsing for titles, but as soon as I try and play anything, the video is garbled for 30-60 seconds (audio is fine) after which it magically works (although I think there might be audio/video sync issues at that point). Is anyone with a different device/ROM seeing this same problem? I haven't tried it yet but others are saying that going back to an older version of the Netflix app (pre the updated theme) makes everything work fine so it seems like it's the app, not the ROM/device.
