[MOD][9/14/11][FIXED] GB Touchwiz (Stock/PW) Camera v1.0: Power Button->Shutter Key
[SIZE=+1]EDIT (9/14): I've had the wrong link posted for days, but it's now corrected. Sorry about that! If you had trouble with force closes, please re-download and replace the file. (I had the froyo version posted instead of the gingerbread version, doh!)
[/SIZE]Current Functionality over stock Camera.apk:
Settings menu option to enable/disable GPS tagging for pictures (ported from EH09)
Power Button in Camera mode becomes functionally the same as the touchscreen Shutter Key
[SIZE=+1]GB Touchwiz Camera Mod v1.0 - APK version[/SIZE]
Camera.apk - Download @ MediaFire.com
Installation: Since this is a system app, it cannot be installed using the Package Installer. Camera.apk must replace /system/app/Camera.apk. You can accomplish this many different ways. Two common methods are: 1) use ADB to push it ("adb push Camera.apk /system/app/Camera.apk"); or 2) copy Camera.apk to your SD card, then use a program like Root Explorer to move it to "/system/app/". If you are running a Stock GB rom, you will want to delete any camera.odex files in /system/app/, clear dalvik cache and reboot. For most deodexed roms, a reboot is only necessary if the camera is not working correctly after installation.For more information, feel free to read through the Froyo camera mod thread.
[SIZE=+1]
I have tested this on my phone with PWGB Version 2.0 (Beta 3). Please use at your own risk, and please post any successes, failures, bugs, feature request, etc. Also, please post what ROM you are using.
The more feedback I receive, the more likely I will continue this project with new features, CWM files, updated camera files, etc.[/SIZE]
Also, since I'm currently broke and looking for a job, donations might tempt me into spending more time around here . Let me know if there is anything that needs hackin'!
Would this functionality be possible for the miui camera?

I'm sure it would be. Of course, they actually have the source code for MIUI, so they wouldn't need to do byte-code hacking in order to accomplish it.
I would try the MIUI.us forums. Maybe someone would be able to point you in the right direction. Maybe it's already been done...

Thanks man, I've been trying to get back here for months. Pesky "life" has foiled my plans...
Copied over the top of my camera.apk file using root explorer. Rebooted and wiped Davlik. Now shortcut is missing so I tried to readd it and it is missing from the app list. My dumbass didn't rename the camera.apk file before copying the new one so I cannot restore original. Any quick suggestions?

What rom are you using?
CM 7.1 7/17 I can pull the camera.apk from the rom, just being lazy and hoping there is an easy fix.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Haha, nope, that's the easiest fix.
This camera relies on the touchwiz libraries which are only found on Samsung based roms. It won't work on CM7/MIUI/ASOP roms.
Haha I figured. Me dumbass.
I swore my camera had the button feature, but it was not working lastnight. Guess I will restore the file from my rom.

Actually, that's interesting. Powerwash v1.2 was Froyo based. I never considered that the app might be compatible with Gingerbread and Froyo roms.
I guess I didn't need to open a new thread... hmm. Well, maybe I'll do some rearranging sometime soon.
EDIT (9/14): No wonder it worked, I had the froyo version linked! Whoops!
Im running PWGB v2.0 b3 and i just installed this and everytime i go to take a pic either with power button or on screen the flash just goes off then i get a force close message:
The application Camera (process com.sec.android.app.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again
Any ideas?
If not could someone please post the stock camera apk so i dont have to redo all over again.
Thanks
Interesting... that's the rom I used when developing this hack.
How did you install the camera.apk?
The stock camera can be pulled out of the powerwash rom. Or I can upload it later when I'm at the computer.

Gizmo, i have tried on the miui forums, doesn't seem like there is anything yet. How likely would you be to do a aosp/miui version? I'd be happy to donate.
OK, I look into it in the next couple days. I am working on an old computer so I doubt I'll be building it from source, but I might be able to work up a quick hack.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I installed by placing on SD Card and then using Root Explorer to replace in system/app
I tried to extract the camera apk but the file is a .tar odin file and i couldnt find an "app" folder anywhere in it.
I tried the camera.apk from ComRom GB and it works half the time.
One thing i did do after flashing PWGB Rom was run the permissions.zip from the op because i was having problems with Google Maps..wonder if that has anything to do with it....

Hmm, that should have worked. I'd love to see a debug report or logcat from when it crashes, if you have the time and know-how.
Otherwise, here is the the stock, unmodified powerwash camera:

I guess this is safe to post, since it's available free to all in Rom Manager now...
Thanks to JT1134, Punk.Kaos, and Adrynalyn we finally got a Froyo leak. Not like the Vibrant guys who get one every 2 weeks for the past 4 months, but I'll take what I can get.
So this ROM is based off of the EB01 leak released by Adrynalyn, it is Deodexed, and ready to go.
As with all my roms I have removed almost everything and allow you to add back only what you want.
This link is for the stand-alone version of the rom, it can be flashed without any additional files needed to have a running baseline.
Thanks to all of my seeders for the torrent, micdawg for the adbdev.com mirror, and to androiddoes for the bulk of the hosting.

***ROM MANAGER VOODOO INSTRUCTIONS***
If you are using the EB01 Voodoo Kernel you will need to revert the /system partition to rfs in order to use Rom Manager to apply updates or download the Rom.
1. Reboot into Red CWM by using the recovery power menu option or the three button bootup.
2. Choose "Voodoo"
3. Choose "/system lagfix off"
4. Reboot
This allows you to have the lagfix on all the other partitions, but still works with Rom Manager. After you've got the rom setup to your liking you can follow the same steps to turn the /system lagfix back on.
4.01 Changelog:
Added custom hosts file to block ads
Added necessary DRM files to allow music player to play more than one song
Added Accurate Battery and Power/Reboot options mods
4.1 Changelog:
Added appwidgetpicker.apk to collapse widgets into categories
Removed default Boot/shutdown animation files to lower download size and prevent mismatched video/audio
Removed additional Kies and Nuance files from stock rom
Removed additional unused files
Removed default sounds, use market apps to make/download custom tones, or download Stock Audio Pack from Extras in Rom Manager
Removed spanish language from text-to-speech, can be redownloaded from the market.
4.2 Changelog:
Now EB01 based, latest froyo leak
Included 5 lockscreen mod by sbrissen, choose in settings/display between puzzle, glass, aosp, epic, or rotary
Included long press search key for google voice search mod by dhoard
Included modded camera by Gizmodroid (power key takes picture/starts recording, removed lowbattery lock, added geotagging)
**If you install a custom theme without these options built in you will lose them. look for themes updated 2/15 or later.**
4.21 Changelog:
Fixed bootloop after /data wipe issues
Kanged bits from Superclean 2.4 to improve stability (Thanks Adrynalyn)
Removed various unnecessary files
Added audio back into core rom because of some issues it was causing
**If you want a a build without the audio files let me know and I can make an optional update that will remove them**
Confirmed the phone app still FC's after a *228 programming, which also kills the buttons somehow, but it does update your roaming, just reboot and you're ready to go.
Downloding now kind sir.
Badass!!!

Does anyone know if USB Debugging is stable on this ROM? All the other DL30 ROMs I've tried have flaky USB mass storage/usb debugging where the usb debugging randomly switched off and the SD card mounts, which is really annoying for development.

Thank you for the information though.
Here is a little workaround or fix, either way, for the EC09 download problem. I have tried it on stock EC09, replace apk and remove odex file. It also works on TSM and Nameless, I have tried it on all of them.
There are some apk's provided here that if you replace what is currently in your /system/app folder they will fix the download issues.It also makes youtube and netflix work reliably, at least in my case. I have not had others test this out, I wanted to get this out to the XDA community to try out. You have to copy these into the app folder, if you try installing it will fail, I have used root explorer, available in market (not free), and Android Commander, Google it (requires Android SDK setup) to copy these strait to the app folder. your phone will vibrate through most of this it's just complaining about the change. Now for what you really want, the files, ok fine here they are. Please feel free to post results, good or bad, here.

BTW: after every reboot i get a DRM has stopped working message right as everything finishes loading, just click on the Force Close. It only seems to happen on boot and after you close it the app will work fine.
Now you can also get this in a flashable zip courtesy of BakedTator, thanks for the hook up on that.

OK Devs, Hope these help y'all figure out whats wrong with our leak, if not PLEASE feel free to use these.
And an extra little treat, Netflix from the market works even though it isn't available to us yet, so here it is, non modded downloaded and tested with all EC09 builds, and it has worked on every one of them for me.

Meh, if this zip isn't flashing a kernel then it can be flashed pretty much immeditately after commrom. The system update text that flashes everywhere is produced by redbend_ua during kernel flashing. bmlwrite doesn't do that. Soo flashing this after flashing the should be fine.

NOTE: this will NOT work if you use a mod that has made changes to some of your framework files. e.g. madmack.
As always, do a nandroid before flashing.
Reserving this.
Is this basically just an odexed browser? What other files does it touch?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Odexed browser and framework files. Apart from that, it wipes cache. That's it.
So this will overwrite anything that touches the framework like battery mods?
It's a shame there isn't an easier way to do mods than buggering around with the apk's
Thanks for the info!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
You can actually open up the zip, and delete framework-res.apk from the framework folder, and then apply it, and your battery mod will stay
And will it still work? This is on a deodexed rom.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Tried it with lite pro rom v2.2 and it got stuck on first boot logo.. Fortunately i did a nandroid backup first :/
I'm playing around with this as we speak.
VR 2.0 LITE.
So .. first problem I encountered: browser always crashed when I start it up BUT it does work with some kinks. Witch I think I can solve.
So how does it work? Well I am a arstechnica reader. In pulse rss reader (if not a subscriber to ars) you get a few lines from the artikel with a button to read the rest of the artikel in the browser. If you press it, you stay in Pulse reader but the engine of the browser is used to display the artikel at it's correct url.
The engine (with all it's hw-acc glory) works. As in: I can browse the page on ars, the comments, even with video's no problem. No laggy **** what so ever.
But ... the frameworks screws **** up a bit. (I think ) So I tried flashing back my old frameworks ... but it didn't work I screwed up my phone
So as we speak I'm reflashing vr2.0 lite.
So what I'll be trying is flashing JUST the browser part (without the frameworks). Lets see if that helps.
Which files does the browser need to work btw? As in: what files should I keep from frameworks? Or is it possible to just delete the whole frameworks folder?
I don't know what happened here! I took my risk and tried to flash it on cognition rom...I delete first framework apk and when I flashed I got an error E: bla bla bla message..I reboot and....no lag at the browser? I don't get it really I don't! Thanks anyway!

Yes. Do a nandroid before hand to be sure
@people having problems with FCs. Not sure why you'd be having that problem, I didn't have any ._.
I'd suggest wiping dalvik and cache and updating if you still get FCs.
many issues with android can be related to caching mechanism...
My script *should* be wiping it anyway.
For myself, I did it manually.
Hey Rawat, I have always been under the impression that mixing odex and dex was not a good idea and has caused problems before when I was working on sgs roms.
Care to give any insight as to how this is not breaking everything? Very curious as I really don't want to load my rom with dolphin browser.

From http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/dalvik/docs/dexopt.html:
There are at least three different ways to create a "prepared" DEX file, sometimes known as "ODEX" (for Optimized DEX):
The VM does it "just in time". The output goes into a special dalvik-cache directory. This works on the desktop and engineering-only device builds where the permissions on the dalvik-cache directory are not restricted. On production devices, this is not allowed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, if I understand correctly the odexed file is optimized, but you don't _need_ to have it as the OS will take care of it with some added CPU cycles (which we have enough to go around ) and swap it out to cache. But having the pre-odexed code would do no harm - as I take it - as it is preferred in terms of CPU time, but not necessary. By deodexing firmware you're not taking the odex interpreting code out, just taking out the odex itself. Please correct any ignorance in my thoughts, but I don't really see why you couldn't mix and match.
Am I making any sense at this hour with my medication?
on VR2.0, flashed via CWM and it does not say its done? it just reboots itself to ROM.. the app is there, but FCs after a few sec.. tried deleting framework res, clear cache and dalvik too.. if any VR2.0 user managed to use it flawless, do share how did u managed to
Hmm, taking out the framework apk didn't allow the browser to work unfortunately.. Android loads fine, but the browser force closes as soon as I attempt to scroll a webpage.. Looks like this will only work with an unmodded framework apk like you mentioned.
Sent from my SGS2
So i have been toying around with getting this to work on VR2.0 lite ... but as my earlier post (#9) said .. something is screwing the browser app up.
The engine runs pretty sweet. In multiple apps that use the browser engine to display content on the web everything works fine.
But the browser fc every time I scroll a page.
I read in some post that mixing odex & deodex stuff in the rom is not appreciated by the os. So it could be just a known thing I'm diving into. (I need a second phone to start experimenting since I really don't want to brik my phone)
So .. until I have time and the patience to actually learn how this works under the hood .. I have bad news

CleverNameHere Rom Release 1
This rom is discontinued as I have moved on to the Nexus 7. God Bless, everyone!
This ROM is based off of the Evo View 4G's 2nd OTA (security update) and was created with DSIXDA's rom kitchen. Special thanks to pardonmyfreedom for figuring out the view's mount points.
Features
Rooted
Busybox
Deodexed
Zipaligned on boot
Ad Free Hosts file added
Bash shell & nano installed along with sysro/sysrw scripts
Added custom boot animation (found about 4th hand, will give credit when I can find original owner) and switched the shutdown animation to the stock HTC one
Hardware Accelerated UI
Dalvik heap increased
Filesystem Tweaks
SD card speed tweak
Juwe11's ram optimization script
New Market
Removed most of the bloatware (including teeter, which i'd forgotten before), and left blockbuster, qik, polaris office and sprint nav in data/app so that it can be easily removed if you prefer to do so
Disabled HTC update checking
baked in facebook, google+, es file explorer, Titanium Backup & Mybackup Root, Onlive Viewer, Dolphin Browser HD
Skype for chat included, along with enabling bluetooth headsets
Features in optional theming zip (coming soon, need to rebase off of OTA2)
Crysis Battery Mod
running test icon set
Changed off green (HTC Color) into actually green on loading circle and download bar
Green Overscroll
Please help me test this rom for a couple of days while I'm continuing to add features as well as offer suggestions for improvements. I already have a few in mind as well, just need to continue working through them. I'm also looking for anyone who has theming experience since I'm an IT guy and not a graphics designer ;-)

Pre-Installation Instructions
Make sure your HTC Evo View 4G is S-off and has a recovery installed, the best way to do that is to follow this guide by Globatron. You also need to have an SD Card in your view in order to be able to flash things through Clockwork Mod.
Installation Instructions
The betas of this ROM will wipe data, so I recommend backing up important information in MyBackup Root and Titanium Backup. The Full Releases (RLS 1, RLS 2, etc.) and Release Candidates (RC1, Etc.) will not wipe data, but if you're coming from stock or just want to make sure your devices is clean, do a factory reset from within clockworkmod recovery between steps 3 and 4 of the guide below.
Copy the Rom .zip file to the base of your SD Card, not the internal storage of your View
Boot into your tablet's bootloader by holding volume down & power while unit is powered off
select recovery by using the volume arrows and hit power to select
you should now be looking at a black screen with blue text, if not make sure you followed the S-off guide. using the volume keys to navigate and power button to select, select install zip from sd card using power
select choose zip from sdcard
select the clevernamehere .zip file on your sdcard
navigate down to the option that says 'Yes - Install clevernamehere*.zip' where * is the name of the version of the rom (eg. beta1)
Rom will now install and run it's course. The script will be more verbose then it is now by the final version
select the +++++Go Back+++++ option
now select reboot system now and the view will reboot. this will take a while, just like it did when you took it out of the box.
Rom is now installed and working! let me know if you find any bugs or have feature requests.
Removing all user data before installing a new rom (Factory Data Reset)
Boot into your tablet's bootloader by holding volume down & power while unit is powered off
select recovery by using the volume arrows and hit power to select
you should now be looking at a black screen with blue text, if not make sure you followed the S-off guide. using the volume keys to navigate and power button to select, select wipe data/factory reset.
navigate down to the option that says 'Yes -- delete all user data' and select it. This will wipe ALL of your data and the data will be unrecoverable after this unless you have backed it up using Titanium Backup and Mybackup Root.
device will now wipe itself and take you back to the main clockworkmod menu. continue on from step 4 of the above guide to flash the rom if you already have the .zip on your device.
Uninstallation Instructions (going back to stock)
Download the shipped rom RUU from here. This was posted by Football on the Flyer Shipped ROMs list here
with your tablet powered on, plugged into your computer via USB, run the RUU. It will take over after you confirm you want to 'update' and format you back to almost completely stock (I was still s-off but I had lost root of course)
go ahead and update your tablet back to the latest OTA (the first OTA) using software update on your tablet.
now go to this thread by attn1 about getting clockworkmod back as well as root. don't forget the view is named the express and DO NOT download anything from this link that has flyer in the name
you are now ready to flash another rom or reflash mine
im giving this a try ill report back....
Thanks! Let me know what you think. I have a few ideas for speed improvements and I will for sure have a more descriptive flashing script

so far so good
a few questions though
Can you turn 4g service on automatically
is this going to be a sense or senseless rom or both?
any plans on removing the default sprint crap bundled with the phone?

Removing sense is always a large undertaking. I'll tackle that at a later time, so sense for now. Beta 2 is going to remove as much as possible and put it into a zip for the few users who might actually want it. I'll look into having 4g autostart as an option. Thanks for the name suggestion.

Beta 2 is now uploaded. I have been working on theming and it is quite a bit harder on sense based roms than it is on touchwiz. I'll also upload the removed apks as a zip file tomorrow.
Since there are currently only 2 roms specific to the View I thought I would give yours a try as well as the XPRS rom. I really dig that boot screen. So far everything seems to be smooth without any issues. I am running it with the ADW Ex launcher and all of my primary apps work well including netflix..

Aye c-dude any chance of a change log for those of us wondering? Thanks for the ROM. We need more View chefs and your contribution is DEFINETLY appreciated!!!
Why the hate for stock?
Do you have a completely stock updated rooted ver? What base are you using?
Edit: This was not meant to as disrespect to you. Thanks for all the hard work. The talented devs are the only reason we have this community today.
ContraDude thanks for all the hard work on this rom as its really the only rom we have on the view that is currently being worked on, once they have the kernel source released I know some devs who are willing to make some kernels for our tab. However, one request that I have which you may be able to figure out, as I could not, is how to get the android market to install apps it says arent compatible. I originally thought that changing the fingerprint would fix the issue however I have changed the fingerprint to several different devices and currently have the fingerprint showing the tab as an EVO 3d to the android market. Unfortunately this still doesnt get apps like facebook, go sms, or other apps to show up. I have attached a screenshot that shows my tab showing up as an evo3d. Also I believe that it may have something to do with other lines in the build.prop that show that the device is not a phone, not sure where those are. However I did completely take out an reference of the model number, product, and brand to mirror those from the build.prop of my evo 3d, so I changed more than just the fingerprint and it still doesn't work.

No one is willing to do their own dirty work anymore. What happened to if you don't want it uninstall it now that you have root. Do you have a completely stock rooted updated ver? I cannot find a 2.3.4 stock rooted rom for my wife's view.I saw you removed teeter which my kids love, kept in blockbuster, polaris, and telenav(no good without premium gps fee) which I don't use. I cannot take any Ota's without causing problems so I am still 2.3.3. But every rom maker out there is all about remove this and remove that. I for one have no problem removing stuff I don't use, and on the other hand do use some of the bloat apps everyone is so "remove happy" over. Sorry for the rant but it used to be the user removed what they didn't want. I thought that is what root was for. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for being a sterling example of everything that's wrong with XDA. You complain that people don't do their own work, then complain when you have to do your own work?
If you wanted a rooted stock rom, why are your looking at custom rom's? Run the s-off tool then flash the zip that gives you root. At that point you have a rooted stock rom.

Thanks for being an example of the majority of XDA users, quick to flame and not help. Yes the rant could have been left out but that was my opinion on removing apps. No one can say what the next guy will or will not use, just pointing out somewhere it was agreed that stock apps were bad. I learned with the 3d that some bloat apps are system and will not install correctly with the normal installation of apk's(reader being one of them). I can put these back into system myself as I have done it many times already. No disrespect was aimed at anybody but it seems you are ready to fire back at a moments notice.

Custom roms can still be custom without removing stuff. It's the added tweaks that make them custom. And I am currently Stock rooted.
Q&A: [ROM-1.2/GRJ90] CM7Tab for the GTab (based on CM7 Nightlies) [Update: 08-15-11]
MOD EDIT: THIS IS THE Q&A SECTION FOR [ROM - 1.2] CyanogenMod 7 nightlies for the GTab
ALL Q&A FOR THIS ROM HAPPENS HERE.
Thanks.
---------------------------------------------------
As suggested, I have decided to make my own thread for the Cyanogenmod nightlies and other ROMs. It will make things a lot easier in the long run.
Disclaimer: as with the other Roms, Use at your own risk! Since the CM7 nightlies are basically an ongoing beta, you run the risk to brick your Gtab if you are not careful. Use to learn NxFlash first before attempting to flash ROMS. Also, do yourself a favor and get Titanium Backup! Always backup yours apps/settings and wipe data/cache/dalvik before flashing.
These will be using the bootloader's 1.2 Pershoot's kernel (2.6.32.43 / 1.4 ghz Kernel) for GB. This ROM works with the Gtab and should work with the ZPAD altough I have no confirmation of this yet.
Thanks goes out to: Team Douche/Cyanogenmod Devs for making a great ROM, Zyhong for showing me how to update to 1.2 and a few more tricks, Maxdamage for taking the time to compile the nightlies for 1.1 users, Pershoot for making such a great kernel and Roebeet for being the one that inspired me to take my journey down the Android rom lane.
1) latest version of CM7Tab: CM7Tab build 08082011 (Nightlies changelog)
2) Test CM7Tab with 4950 drivers: Test Build 08152011
Changes in modified version
1- replaced DSPmanager.apk with a previous version that is known to work (7.0.3) (if you open it, it FCs)
2- vold.fstab is setup as sdcard for internal storage & emmc for external card
3- using pershoot's 2.6.32.43 GB kernel for 1.2 bootloader (For more info, check his blog.
4- Read_ahead_kd increased from 128 to 2048.
5- Set up overclocking by default and battery saver script + cpu governors via userinit.sh (from Zyhong's ROM, based on Caulkin's scripts).
6- Replaced Camera libs & apk to stop the 8-bit pixelling.
7- Increased dalvik.vm.heapsize to 64m (07102011)
8- Set some values to improve video playback (07272011)
9- Changed values for lowmemorykiller minfree in init.rc (08072011).
10- changed EMMC to microsd (08072011)
11- updated ROM up to 2.3.5 (08072011)
12- Camera fix (08082011)
To-do list:
1- remove some apks (such as Rom manager) & create a removed apks folder.
--------------------------------
Issues:
1) Once you set up DSPmanager, it force crashes.
1) Vanilla CM7 nightly (only vold.fstab was modified): Latest build: Build 07262011 (Changelog)
If you have suggestions/ideas, do not hesitate to share them.
thank you.
Going to give it a try, tried cm7 a while ago and was great with it but seemed a bit slow. On Iluminate now do I have to flash back to stock?

How long ago did you try it? I try to play areound with CM7 with the CM7tab ROM to see if I can speed it up a little as well. You can give it a try and tell me what you think.

personally I have been using your build for a while and quite happy with it except the market which sometime shows my apps and other time it doesn't. I have not tried any market fixes yet, so it is partiality my fault as well.

I tried it today but was getting a lot of fc's, it did seem a little faster then I remember except the boot up was really slow as I remember. I did not give it a full try because I failed to wipe everything because I was at work and wasn't really supposed to be on it. I will do it again tonight with full wipe and see if it gives better results and let you know.
I just realized you have a tab build so I will try that one. The one thing I noticed right away with cm7 is that my tablet looked like a phone and I have been jumping around from HC roms and got used to a more tablet specific rom. I will give you update in a few hours I think.
Edit: have been trying for a couple of hours now but sent me in to boot loop had nvflash back to stock, will give it another shot once this silly Tap n Tap is finished loading.

Dalingrin was kind enough to provide a fix that seems to resolve most of the problems with market (including buying apps). It was merged in build 07092011+ so give it a try and tell me how it goes.

The FCs you were getting were probbly from DSPManager. It is a known issue that seems to come from a "broken pipe" in one of the libs. For now, it is best just to remove it.
For the bootup, someone suggested moving apps to the SD card. Apparently, it would speed up the process.
I am conscious that 2.3.4 is made with phones in mind but it is a step up from Froyo and having partial hardware acceleration helps.
Just tried again and got stuck on CM7 logo boot loop, this was with the CM7 tab build. did full wipe of cache, dalvik, and user data. Not sure what happened. Restoring to Illuminate rom if you have some ideas on how or what else I can do to try this rom let me know.
Hey there Ice.
First off, awesome work on this and thank you for taking the time.
I would recommend editing the build.prop file to set the Manufacturer to HTC. This fixes the playback issue with Netflix (Chipmunk). I tested this out fully on my gTab last night and it's the ONLY setting that needs to be modified. Aside from that, everything seems to work.
Good work!
Hi
Has anyone tried installing volume+ on this rom? I'm on BL1.1 CM7 rom but volume+ does not install. If this works, I'll take the bold step to upgrade to BL1.2.
I don't know if it's just my hardware. My gtab's speaker is very soft and I want to try cranking it up with volume+ (which works on my phone running cm7).
thanks a lot.
DroidTV phone size not full screen....Anyone have other apps that did that after....
I was using DroidTV, and it was full-screen and then rebuild my G Tab with the cm7tabl-0710200-1.2 and when I reinstalled DroidTV it is now phone size display on the G Tablet.
I used Titanium Backup to restore the app and the settings. Anyone have issues like this with an app that did that after re-installing after a full rebuild? Any build.prop setting or somewhere I could check?
Thanks. Steve.
Thanks everyone for your feedback.
@Mike: I have heard of this before and wasn't sure if anyone would be interested in it. I will change that on the CM7Tab version in the next few days.
@Vhend: Yes, Vol+ works on 1.2. You enter CWM and it works great here.
@Artful: I will look into this. It might just be that the rsolution isnÈt set right. I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks Ice. Other than that I have yet to find any major issues that in the build.
Other than apps that open portrait only with the bottom on the side with the power button. Tried to say to not rotate 90 degrees but they still open that way Apps that open landscape then won't rotate to the 90 degree position but portrait apps still open that way
This is the most stable I have used and performance seems good. A co-workers has the same build, I installed it for them since they are techie-challenged, and theirs is turtle slow because I think they have Skype running all the time.

sorry for not being clear. I did not mean pressing the volume+ button. i actually meant this app to boost the volume of gtablet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1023433
I guess the app has dependencies on dsp manager, that's why it did not work on my B1.1 cm7. Since you have replaced the dsp with a workable one in your rom, I would like to check if the volume+ app works here.
Appreciate your work on the rom!

Actually, I think it has more to do with a problem with one of the audio libraries. I did a logcat and it seems something called AudioFlinger can't set a parameter properly.
If anyone can fix this, I can send the logcat to help out.
I wanted to apologize for not being able to upload the new nightly today. I had to rebuild my computer and took the opportunity to switch to a new Linux distro. Just tested the new system and all is great.
I will post Build 07172011 later this morning.
Where are the nightly's getting posted now? Thanks and this is the most stable MOD I've had on my G Tab.
Do video apps work as far as no rotation with Oovoo, yahoo, reelportal, etc? Audio work okay with chatting?
