Feedback on new HC 3.55.405.1 Leak - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Anyone tried the new HC release 3.55.405.1 available in Globatron's thread (link below) ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
I would like to know what improvements changes exist in comparison to the version HC 3.48.405.1
The problems I have in version HC 3.48.405.1 are:
MyBackup Pro force closes on open.
Dolphin HD freezes and needs to be force closed from time to time.
I have heard of other issues related to the Stylus but I don't use it so I don't know of them.
I would like to hear some feedback on anyone who has tried the new HC release.
Thanks

On initial reviews it is the same. Maybe a little smoother but probably placebo. Benchmarks are a little higher. Have not played too much yet. Can report more later

thank you, I will probably load it tonight when I get home from work myself but was hoping to get some idea of the changes before applying the new version.
The fact that I can't use MyBackup Pro means I might have to reinstall everything which I would rather not do. Did you do a full wipe before upgrading or just apply the new ZIP over the old one? (keep Data partitiion)

It gets wiped in ruu flash

Hi,
I've just updated to the 3.55.405.1 release. For me it is a much better release (so far) than any of the previous HC leaks.
I've a need to run an IBM branded application on my device. This works fine on GB but I've been unable to make it work on any of the prior HC leaks.
IBM had looked at the problem and claimed it was a HTC issue. Now with this latest leak the IBM application not only installs and runs successfully, but I notice that it even the UI has changed slightly as it has become 'aware' that it's on HC.

I'm running the new HC leak and still need to force close Dolphin HD at times...haven't used the pen extensively.
Other than that it seems to work well. I was able to install Airdroid which I couldn't on the previous leak.
HC is definitely a nice change from gingerbread. Makes the Flyer feel more like a tablet than a big phone. Very refreshing.
Ken

Thanks for the infos, still no calls?

Reason to Switch From TNT Lite 5.0.1 to 4.3.1

I have TNT Lite 5.0.1 installed on my Gtab and was wondering what makes 4.3.1 better? Does it play H264 mkv files better? I noticed I can't play some of those files and I can' download browsers like Dolphin HD for HULU or Skyfire? Sorry for the noobie questions but I am still trying to figure out the difference in these.
I updated my 5.0.0 to TTx 9.02 and my weird market issues finally went away--when I first went to 5.0.0, some apps disappeared from the market (including Flash and Firefox mobile). I tried the market fix repeatedly, but no joy. Not too long later, TTx 9.02 was available, so I installed it. Everything's been right since then. Maybe someone else can comment on the video playback part for you -- I can't answer that because I don't watch much video on my tablet.
Personally, I love TTx -- for me, it's more stable than 4.2.5 was, so I'm planning to stick with it until roebeet determines which branch he's going to kill (TnT Lite or TTx).
The question I have is.. when my husband's new gTab arrives from woot, what ROM are we going to load on it? Ugh!
The Woot users might actually determine what path I go in. I think there's a (small) chance that those Woot devices are build 3991.
Honestly, if I were Amazon management and I knew that there was a dev 1.2 branch at TapnTap that had improved speeds, an improved recovery process (with a wipe data function) and Flash pre-installed, guess what build I'd want? Certainly not the carpy 2967 that probably caused half of the Staples returns. And also remember that build 3991 was actually compiled in mid-February. It's a long shot, but if 3991 shows up on the Woot devices it would actually not surprise me.
That's not to say that the legacy users here aren't important. But if 3991 gets released to the Woot users, then AFAIC it's a released version (if that makes any sense).
nope, got 1.1-3588 on the woot devices i just received mine. Thanks for all the hard work you've put into helping people with this device.

Sluggish - htc say not a problem

I have made the mistake of upgrading my flyer to HC
It is slower than GB ... I have just spoken to HTC re downgrading back to GB and they say its not possible and I could send my flyer in for a repair but it would be re loaded with HC
I have told the chap I spoke with that there seems to be a problem with HC as some users on xda have issues . he says its not a fault htc know about
Question is there anything I can do to speed up HC .. I have factory reset
I dont wanna downgrade back to GB as I have only got the flyer today
and dont want to void my warranty ....... I actually do like HC but the sluggishness is a not good
Thanks
Some people tend to have issues with lag and responsiveness on HC, while other don't. Some people have even commented that performance on HC is better. On mine, the response seems nearly identical to GB. Maybe some things a a tiny bit faster, while others a tiny bit slower, but hardly even perceptible. Considering the fact that HC has more animations and other eye candy, but still as snappy and responsive as GB, means to me that its chugging along quite well.
Did you do the official OTA upgrade to HC? It just seems notionally to me that the official OTA is causing more sluggish response than globatron's method. But its just a hunch.
You might wait a day or 2 to let the OS settle in, things might improve. But otherwise, I don't think there is anything you can do to speed it up.
Yes, it looks like you have to use HTC Unlock and void your warranty, in order to downgrade (according to globatron's guide). So it looks like your biggest mistake was probably updating via the OTA, instead of rooting and using globatron's method to upgrade. In that case, you can still return the device to stock and HTC would never know you rooted (warranty still intact)>

I'm using the stock OTA HC upgrade, and mine is not sluggish compared to Gingerbread in the slightest. Like you said, it's easily just as fast, if not slightly faster.
I wonder if the people reporting sluggishness on HC did a factory reset upon installing the update. Doing a factory reset and clearing everything out always helps to avoid potential issues with updates, especially major OS updates like HC. Sure you're technically not supposed to have to and it's a chore to re-install everything, but I've always found that it makes quite a positive difference.
It seems to have settled my problem is im comparing to my galaxy note whuch is the mega wrong thing do do. my first 6hrs with my flyer im impressed fingers crossed we get ics
Ive only found five apps whuch arent compatible so im impressed

If that is the case I would suspect it is only due to the data being wiped. I don't have anything in my procedures that in any way changes performance. It is literally just stock HC with root+busybox.

Roms vs Vanilla?

As serial rom flashers, most of us reflexively flash the latest and greatest rom as soon as we have rooted our device.
Just recently, I finally gave up on HC for my View. Despite the added benefit of the extra pen input, HC on the View is just too damned slow. So I went back to GB. I used this: http://hyuh.net/files/view/Express_Downgrade.zip to downgrade to GB (along with the Superuser file http://goo-inside.me/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip, of course).
I was very busy that day and flat out forgot to flash a rom before restoring all my apps using Titanium. Immediately, my View was performing smoother and faster than it had ever performed before. I was like damn, what rom is this?
Just stock rooted GB.
Of course your mileage may vary greatly from mine on this and I am by no means saying there is anything wrong with all of the great roms out there. What I am suggesting is, if you are unhappy with the performance of you View (Flyer), try just running good old vanilla GB and see what you think.

[Q-Flyer] Purchased second hand Flyer. Dont know what ROM is best suited for it.

Hi Everyone.
Have been searching around the net for 2 days without much luck
HTC Flyer I purchased:
Flyer P510e
Android: 3.2.1
HTC Sense: 1.1 for tablet
Software number: Cool3d Honey V6
Baseband: 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.07_M
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.14-LeeDrOiD-HC-V3.3.0-g6d7c2c0
Im guessing by the kernel version it has been ROM'd with LeeDrOiD correct ?
I would love to take this back to the stock ROM it would have come with but have no idea out of the list of thousands which one is the right one for my device. Or should i be going for another ROM all together that is more recent ?
Never done this before so please forgive me for being cautious. I just dont want to brick it on my first attempt.
I would like to be able to use it like my HTC Desire HD and do the customary updates and so forth. My Desire HD has never failed me and I have had it for 2 years.
Im from Australia, and going through the list of stock ROMs available, i see many countries listed, asia, india, US, blah blah.
So which ROM is best for my Flyer ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
hello, i buy my flyer not long time so far. i used it as my phone with bluetooth headset. i stay on maxdroid128 rom based 2.3.4. on 2.3.4 is the phone function more stable. the nice pen works much better on android 3.+, it has full support for screen. on 2.3 you can only use a few things, notes and scribble. i flashed coolhoney last week, i flashed back to 2.3 because phone, and i have the bug on coolhoney that the screen goes off after e few seconds. when you need no phone you can go to ics or jb roms, only bugs i hope is broken front cam. i read in last time around one week to find the suited rom for me. i hope that helps a little.

It really all depends on what you want to be able to do with the tablet. Currently it is running the latest Cool3D Honey rom which is an HC rom using LeeDroid kernel. If you want to go back to stock, which is GB, then you will have to downgrade your hboot. Just do some searching and reading first.
HC roms are going to give you the most pen funtionality and allow use of apps designed for tablets. Most have 90-100% functionality but speed may be hindered a bit over GB. Just read the changelog for the rom.
ICS/JB roms are going to give a quick interface with the more up-to-date features but you will have to sacrifice functionality somewhere whether it be in BT, phone, video acc., camera, etc. Again, just read the changelog for the rom.
Me personally, unless you want to use your tablet as a giant phone than I would stay on 3.0+ because GB was never meant to be a tablet OS.

Thanks for that feedback much appreciated!!
I ended up soft bricking it and of course i didnt realise about the power drain on the battery and not being able to recharge it. So im currently waiting on a few electronic parts to arrive so i can attach the battery to an external charger and start from scratch.
Trying to find the proper thread with good details on how to take the hboot backwards is a pain, as many of them have different methods and as i have found out, most of them dont work, or are lacking details in some way or another. Hence i ended up where i am.
following this thread to get my battery charged again.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422687&page=2
and then will attempt this one and hopefully get it right:

I have these 3 RRU's so im hoping one of them will get me back to stock *fingers crossed):

they were the only ones i could find a decent download as all the ones listed here are through the website that asks you to become a member to download over 500bm, annoying. But the website i found is free to download no matter what size. Which is a breath of fresh air.
If you know of a better RRU for me to try, please let me know, and where to get it from.
Couple of more days and i should see how it goes.
Thanks again!!

Recommendations for ROM

I have been a member for a long time, but I never post anything so in that sense I'm new enough that I can't post this in the forum I wanted to, so I'm asking here. This is going to sound like a hateful rant and I'm sure someone is thinking, "If she knows that, then why is she hatefully ranting?" I am not ready to give up yet, so I'm explaining how I arrived at this point.
I have had my Gtab for about a year and a half. In that time I have rooted it and changed the ROM several times. I moved up to the 1.2 bootloader. In all this time I haven't really used it much because it just doesn't work right no matter which rom I try. Each rom will be ok for a few days, and then it starts getting glitchy. I got so fed up with it, I just parked it for several months and didn't touch it. Just recently I have installed the smoother bean rom. It is sort of ok but it doesn't 'just work'. I'm not a bigtime gamer, I like angry birds and sudoku. I surf the internet, watch videos, read books/magazines that are in epub format. When I study, I highlight text and make notes. When I sit down to study, I need it to work. No hangups or lockups or slow/frozen screens. When I get it out to use at the KH to follow along with the material I studied previously, I need it to just work. It has been to the point that I had to open the thing and physically unplug the battery to get it to behave. I was so excited to get this tablet and read all the information in these forums about it, so I knew what I was getting into when I bought it. The bloom is off the rose and I just want a tablet that does what I want it to do. I don't even care if it has jellybean or ICS or even Honeycomb at this point... I just want a tablet that works without having to fiddle around with the software.
And I don't install crazy amounts of apps. I think there are 7 or 8 that I use. Mainly Moon+ reader, Dolphin browser, Pinterest and Sudoku and Angry birds. I also like to sync my google stuff, calendar, contacts, email.
I'm am thinking I might put it back to stock and let it do all the OTA updates and see how it runs. But if I do that, I have to do the fix that makes the google market and stuff work. If I can do that and in the end have a working tablet that is decent and stable, I'll do it. Can anyone give me any feedback after having done this themselves? How was your tablet after? I remember how horrible it was out of the box. Is it better? MUCH MUCH Better? or just a little better.
Is there another rom that has been proven to be stable? I'm not worried if the camera or bluetooth doesn't work, I don't use those with the tablet. I don't think they are working right now, I'm not sure I haven't tried them since I installed the smoother bean rom. It can be any version of Android, I don't care.
I have given some thought to selling my gtab and getting another tablet, but I don't want to do that just yet. I know there has to be a solution, I just haven't found it yet.
Any feed back or suggestions would be most appreciated. The developers work hard on this tablet and have kept it going when Viewsonic themselves quit on it. I think that its really cool that there is such a devoted community of people who still love this tablet.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
My recomendation for "stable"
No expert here, but I have multiple g-tablets. For the "stable" ROM, I use Cyanogenmod cm-7.2.0-smb_a1002.zip
Hope that helps,
Jack
I have very similar experience as yours. Bought the gtab long ago, played for a while, then stashed away for several month, but pulled it out again while some brilliant devs actually put JB on it.
I will never ever go back to stock on gtab. Both Smoother Bean and G-Harmony Jellybean ROMs work reasonably well. In my opinion, they are already pushing the limit of the hardware.

Whereabouts can I download that ROM? I googled the file name and I found the cyanogen download page with the various releases but I wasn't sure which one to pick. I didn't see any that said for the gtab and to tell the truth, it was late and my eyes were sleepy! If you know of a place to download the ROM, I would appreciate it. I would like to give it a shot and see how it goes on my tablet. I'm also going to try out reinstalling JB. I didn't realize there was a update for smoOther bean. So, we'll see what happens.
For stability and full function of the Gtablet, you will probably want to use a Froyo rom. All other versions of Android required re-written drivers and/or kernel, as Viewsonic did not release an official version, and never released their source code. My favorite Froyo rom is:
TNT 6039
I used that rom with VTL Launcher for months, until TeamDRH released their JellyBean rom. You might need to make some minor modifications to see all the apps in the Play store, just read the thread.
I also have another Gtab that is running CyanogenMod. This became my 'stable' tablet. My parents, kids and nephews have used it for months with no complaints. If it gets a little slow, just wipe the cache and it speeds right back up again. Hardware acceleration does not work on Gingerbread, so major 3d games often have graphical glitches, but it is very stable. Here is a link:
CyanogenMod 7.2
If you can wait a few more days (hopefully!) TeamDRH will be releasing a new JB rom with their new kernel. I am currently running my own CM10 build with the new kernel and it is great. Very fast and stable. None of the released JB roms ran very well on my 'experimental' Gtab, so I built my own. After a ton of work, it is running even better than my 'stable' tablet, so I would be willing to bet that when they release their new rom, it will be the best available. Judging by the description of your usage, I would try CM 7.2.

Second that! :good:
When will TeamDRH be releasing a new JB rom?
Do you mind to share the new rom?
Thanks for the feedback ya'll. I did install the CM7 ROM and I also tried another one, I can't remember right now which one it was. I was tempted away by the G-Harmony Jellybean ([ROM-AOSP][BL-1.2]G-Harmony Jellybean 4.1.2 ODEXed (UPDATED 12/28)) , I installed the Overclocked version and I have to say it is doing very well. I did have some SOD's but I supercharged it and bumped up the CPU with No Frills CPU and since then it has had no trouble. Its been since Saturday that I installed this ROM and I have used it a bunch since then. I guess time will tell.
I do have a question tho about a problem I'm having but it's absutely not a deal breaker. I can't get google calendar to sync. I know other ROMS have had a package to install that fixed this but I wasn't sure if I could do that with this rom. I don't want to jack up my install. I don't absolutelly have to get the calendar working right now. I don't have reliable internet at home, so the only time I get online with the thing is when I wifi tether to my phone. Was just wondering if anyone knew how to resolve this issue. Again, I would post in the forum for this ROM but I'm not allowed yet.
Thanks!

When DRH is ready to release their new rom, it will likely be on the other forum first. Search Google for "gtablet roms 1.2/1.3" and that forum will be listed at the top of the page. Can't link you to it, else I may anger the XDA Moderators! Sounds like they are very close, just waiting on a new recovery.
As for my current build, just a basic CM10 build with a few minor customizations (my chosen boot animation, removed/replace system apps, changes to build.prop, etc.). I cannot share it because I am using the new (unreleased) kernel, and it's a pretty 'plain' version of CM10, but you can easily build it all yourself. Once you have your build environment setup, it is easy to rebuild an updated version any time you like. Only thing is, you are on your own when it comes to troubleshooting and support! If you are interested, I can link you to the info I used to figure out how to build the kernel and CM10, and the Git locations of the required source code. You would need a decent computer running 64bit Linux (I use Arch Linux, but Ubuntu is easier to setup), about 50GB hard drive space, and some free time. I just did it for fun, plus I'm impatient and wanted to try the new kernel, and none of the JB roms at the time would run well for me.
Best ROM for G-Tab
Hi all,
I bought my G-Tab whentheyfirst came out and have tried about 13 or 14 ROM's over the last (nearly) two years. In my opinion the best is SmoOtherBean by Nobe1976. Out of the box it is pretty good, I made a few minor adjustments after the install and it is running perfectly.
Changed dpi to160 (enabled Music / Movies in the Play Market)
Used ROM Toolbox to delete Music FX and DSP Manager (fixed problem where music would suddenly blare or change volume)
Set min/max CPU to 312 / 1200 (seems to wake up faster, no lags when browsing,etc)
Give Nob1976 a thumbs up if you like his ROM - stop the trolls who have chased off so many devs.....

I have given some thought to selling my gtab and getting another tablet, but I don't want to do that just yet. I know there has to be a solution, I just haven't found it yet.
Any feed back or suggestions would be most appreciated. The developers work hard on this tablet and have kept it going when Viewsonic themselves quit on it. I think that its really cool that there is such a devoted community of people who still love this tablet.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions![/QUOTE]
Running SmoOther Bean but it starts up laggy?
Nice you gave me some more settings to try. Don't know that I want to change the DPI or have any issues with volume. Did change CPU settings. Anything else you'd recommend?
After it's run for about 10 minutes, it seems to work OK, only occasional lag. I'm setting background processes limit to none on every boot up. Anyone have a way to make that change stick between reboots?
Thanks!

Hi all,
I bought my G-Tab whentheyfirst came out and have tried about 13 or 14 ROM's over the last (nearly) two years. In my opinion the best is SmoOtherBean by Nobe1976. Out of the box it is pretty good, I made a few minor adjustments after the install and it is running perfectly.
Changed dpi to160 (enabled Music / Movies in the Play Market)
Used ROM Toolbox to delete Music FX and DSP Manager (fixed problem where music would suddenly blare or change volume)
Set min/max CPU to 312 / 1200 (seems to wake up faster, no lags when browsing,etc)
Give Nob1976 a thumbs up if you like his ROM - stop the trolls who have chased off so many devs.....

Check out nobe1976 UnOfficial -BAKED ROM
For anyone who is "still looking" for something stable, check out noble1976 modified Blackbean (on this site).
I am very satisfied with this "beta" version that this maybe will be the last one I'll be using (its that stable for me).
A big THANK YOU to Noble1976 for his hard work on getting this version to work on the gtablet and his PAC rom and all the other help he has given to us. :good:
What's your experience like with Blackbean?
Are you seeing any startup or sleep lag like I'm getting with SmoOther Bean? I switched from Go Launcher EX to the default one (Apex?) and it does seem a bit better.
Would like something a bit more responsive for daily use though. What's involved to flash Blackbean over SmoOther Bean? Repartition, etc?
Thanks for the heads up on this - might give it a shot when I hear back from you! Sounds like a good weekend project!

BAKED Bean you will must NVFlash to the new 2013DRH setup. The boot.img in that ROM is the latest fosser2 3.1.10 kernel. The mounting is completely different other then the System. So updating the Tablet with the latest that is linked in the OP should be done to the T.

The only "lag" I'm seeing is after the opening screen animation the screen goes blank for 10sec or so. So, just wait till the regular default screen appears.
And be sure to do what Nobe1976 said. It went very easy for me changing over, for I already have used NVFlash 2013DRH version with
nobe1976 "PAC" ROM. Good Luck.
