Give me the day and I will pm you with something to try out that has gotten me out of a jam a time or two. Have work today and won't have any computer time till later this afternoon.

thanks....looking forward. i must say that the same thing used to happen to me in ICS roms so i've basically stopped at HC roms that work like a charm. I checked my system partition and its 350megs...

If this is based on the Team DRH Dirty Bean - it doesn't work there either. Last time I saw this issue was when the "phone" apps were not installed as part of the selected apps on ICS - it pairs but no BT audio.

Ah yes...I remember that now. There were 2 or 3 apps that were required, the phone apk, telephony something-or-other apk, and perhaps one other. I will pull those out of the last DRH ICS build, sideload them as system apps, and report back...will be later tonight.

Thanks again,

Dave

I'm having the same problem. Which old market fix did you use? Thanks.

Ahh yes the good old day hacks. Go into system setting, apps, all apps. Find both Google Service Framework and Google Play. Starting with Service Framework you want to clear data, then the Play Store you want to clear both cache and data. Then exit out and open Google Play and you should get a server error, while still on that screen press the power button and reboot. When device boots back up all should be well.

Well buddy there is your issue first off. The OP clearly states that you need to NVFlash your device to have a 250m system not a 350. I don't know if that is a typo or that is what you actually have. If it is you are going to need to do some work so that the data on the different current partitions will not cause issues when backing down to a 250m system. Just go home and booted up the beast. Let me get back with ya on that PM.

All I can say is WOW! Fantastic ROM. The only hiccup I had was that I got an "unable to reach server" error in Google Play. I did the old market fix from the froyo days and that did the trick. Thanks much.

Thank you. I give it a shot.

Well that wasn't it...this ROM has those apps baked in. Was hoping it was something simple...anyone have another idea?

Hello, I have one of those gtabs that wont run ICS or JB!!!

I have nvflashed with the files linked in the op. I'm on bootloader 1.2 with a 250mb system and sdcard partitioned to 4096/0. This is not my first day at the rodeo :)

The tab boots fine after nvflash if I let it load the stock ROM. However, when I try to load this build (or any other ICS/JB build other than dirtyICS1.3) I get stuck on the birds.

To be exact - Three birds screen loads for about 5 seconds, the screen flashes black for 1 second, then the three birds screen loads again and that is where she stays.

Thank you for any help and suggestions.

Do we still have a problem with USB connection when sleeps?

I love the ROM.
But I just tried to get into the tablet while was connected to USB PC.
It looks dead now.
What are my options?
Thank you for the help!

Cat


Sorry, Not enough patience to wait for someone to answer.
I took the Tablet apart, disconnected the battery, reconnected and I am up and running now!

Still a great ROM!!!

BT Audio Fix

To solve the issue of sound coming from the tablet speakers while paired with a BT headset/speaker, do the following:

1. Using your favorite file manager, go to \System\Etc and make a copy of audio_policy.conf
2. Edit the original audio_policy.conf: Towards the bottom of the file, there is a section that begins with "a2dp". Within that section, change the sampling rate from "48000" to "44100"
3. Save the changes, reboot, and profit.

Great work on this ROM! Any way to get back the navigation bar and soft keys? I know they are redundant with the hw buttons, but I can't see the hw buttons in the dark. Thanks.


I got them back when I switch LCD density from 160 to 120 and reboot.

I tried the solution but cannot find the file audio_policy.come under /system/etc, I managed to find the original file in Google git repo and copied it into /system/etc, rebooted sound still works but need to be home to test BT headphone.

Thanks for sharing.

Good suggestion. I got the soft keys back as well as smaller icons with the dock moved to the bottom instead of the right side. The notification bar on top also moved to the bottom as part of the navigation bar. Overall, I think I like it better this way.

There are now two versions listed in the OP to download. One at 160 dpi and one at 120 dpi. Is the build.prop setting the only difference in them?

Thanks.

350 or 250 System Partition

Before you say the OP said 250, please read my question. This is what the Alpha Dirty-Bean post said concerning Jelly Bean: "In this release the system size has increased from 200MB (stock gtab) to 350MB." Do the changes in this version require us to go back from 350 to 250 in order for it to work?

Quick Thanks and question...

It don't need it trust me. This this is pre-charged in the build prop.:D

WOW! Great job!!! Especially considering your a self proclaimed non-dev :cool:

Hope these arent dumb questions but...... is overclocking available with this build? Has anyone ran SPB 3D or a "fancy launcher"??

Also this ROM does run super slick and smooth, but im getting occasional lags after unlocking or just minimal multi tasking :eek: (would overclock help) I followed instructions to the letter and as I said its not a deal breaker cause its so freaking nice. Any tips would be greatly appreciated and thanks for the killer work!!!

    THANK YOU

    For starters I am not a Developer, I am just a normal Guy with a Linux Machine and a Dream.

    Special thanks goes towards fosser2, the DRH team and redeyedjedi. Without them I wouldn't of been
    able to do any of this.


    The new SmoOth is using CM-10 4.1.2 base built from source by redeyedjedi with a nice
    face lift and some extras. It is desighned to create for you a great gaming experience as well as everyday use.

    Let me introduce you to the New SmoOther Creation.

    Screenshots on the Inverted Version​
    Because that is how I ROLL​

    Smoother_Bean.ver1.5.2-Apps.png

    I will only Support my Installation Instructions
    I have tested it with my own G-Tablet with these
    exact instructions.

    Installation Instruction.
    You will need to be on BL 1.2 and have a 250m system partition (recomended).
    (You can run this on a 350m system setup)
    You must know how to back up your existing system. That is only being said once
    Boot into Recovery and do a Nandroid Backup Wipe data/factory reset,
    go into "mounts and storage" and "mount & format system"
    Partition Internal SD to 4096/0 in Advance settings (if already skip this part)
    Download Rom and Place onto internal storage
    Install Rom
    Reboot into system, Complete initial setup

    AND HOLD ON TIGHT

    DIRTY FLASHING WILL NOT BE ALLOWED. YOUR MOM SHOULD OF TAUGHT YOU HOW TO WIPE

    This ROM is bare bone striped down the apps and replaced with lighter counter parts.
    The only addition I included is minimum Gapps some choice addons and Rom ToolBox to OC, change I/O schedulars
    and other adjustments you would like to make. (Recomended Memory Manager Preset setting= Strict)
    Check apply on boot then apply settings. Perfomance settings still need to be worked out within the ROM for I/O settings.
    Also for Task Killing without a app go to system settings/Developer options (Turn on first)
    then select "Background process limit" to (No background processes or Limit to 1)


    Whats included
    1 % Battery Mod (Fixed and Works)
    Latest Apex Launcher
    Play Store (Inverted or Standard depends on ROM Choice)
    AdAway app
    Apollo (Inverted or Standard depends on ROM Choice)
    Pandora (Inverted ver.4.1)
    Google Now
    Chrome Browser
    CPU Sleeper

    ROM ToolBox

    TIBU
    XDA app
    YouTube (ver. 4.2.16)

    What Works
    Audio, Audio, and did I mention Audio...... :victory:

    What Doesn't Work

    Mic works but buggy

    I have to agree with the poster on this. Custom-ROM installs shouldn't do non-essential things lke overwriting a user's boot splash screen without his permission. Replacing eye-candy like that is best done later if the user wants to: You can very easily script it out or do it on the command line:
    Code:
    $ [B]su[/B]
    # [B]flash_image bootbmp [I]/SOME/PATH/[/I]somefile.bmp[/B]


    ---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

    Yup. I have to agree with this too...

    Yet again, I have to agree.

    Its not that the birds are ugly and hard to look at, it is a psycological thing. We are all so emotionally distraught by the viewsonic corporation, because they took 3 or 4 hundred dollars of our money and then immediately act like it never happened, like they never built the gtablet. They never supported us.........EVER. So, sticking the birds in our face is like a jewish prisoner from WW2 having to stare at a swastika 20 years later. well, not really, but you know what I mean.

    I feel ya on the criticism though. I can take it......I spent over twenty hours on builds trying to make a PA rom just so I can play NBA JAM, and someone posts on my dev-host link "newbie:learning"
    and yet they wont post here with their name behind it.....but thats OK by me, Im playing dark knight rises, nba jam, gt racing, NFS most wanted, dead space, mass effect, any game I want.... Just because some people are stupid and wont go read what PA is and how to set it up doesnt bother me a bit, I know what it can do.
    Im sure nobe knows what this rom can do tooo, but he spends a lot of time on it, and just cant believe someone misses those DAMN birds.
    I cannot even imagine how fosser feels, I use him like he is my OEM support, he put his kernel together from scratch. And yet, people post some sorry stuff on slatedroid, like "hey I gave you a few dollars and now youre not gonna update, I can see the writing on the wall" as if Fosser works for viewsonic, I mean this is CRAZY!!!! The only thing that bugs me is we all do this for free.....for free....and if you dont like what we did, go back to tap n tap!!!!
    You can post bugs and errors and we always try to help, but just to post that you hate not having the boot image, after you didnt read in the first place that it would be changed and that you are flashing a "custom" rom......at your own risk......well to me this isnt criticism. its more like douchebaggery.
