Hi, I installed this with no issues, But my sd card slot shows the card is plugged in but I cannot browse files on it. This was not an issue on original OS, also when I plug in my PC it no longer syncs up, it says found Tegra 2 but cant access the internal memeory on the tablet from PC anymore, any ideas?
Thanks for help

The PC will see two drives when your tablet is connected to it, if the tablet has an external sd card installed.
After enabling the usb connection on the tablet, the PC can access to one of them, which is the internal sd card.

Another simpler method is booting into cwm and connect to PC.

Hi , If I am running 6.0 can I just drop the new 7.0 update.zip and flash it or do I have to lose all my apps and such like when I went from stock OS.

Thanks

Hi, love your work, have Alpha 7 running perfectly, but the Plex for Android (Plex - A Complete Media Solution) fails to play video:

Code:

Let me know if I can help debug.

Hey elan, looks interesting (I'm currently a fan of UPnPlay, but use TVersity with my PS3). Two questions about Plex:

- Does it transcode before streaming, or stream only in the original file format/codec?
- What limitations are there (if any) in codec/container, filesize, bitrate, etc.?

(FYI, as a moderator, I should remind all of us to stay mindful that this isn't the place for commercial pitches. No problem with exploring app performance/bug issues, but let's not drift too far off-topic! If you'd like, we can start a thread devoted to media streaming apps for the gTab--I know Dave and I would love it.)

It can do transcoding, remuxing (Direct Streaming) or just straight HTTP playback (Direct Play). It tries to pick intelligently which one to do, so the user doesn't have to care (for example, over a lower bandwidth link it'll transcode instead of trying to remux a 720p video if you've set the quality setting down lower).

Not many, given that it uses ffmpeg as a base for the decoder. We don't handle VIDEO_TS at the moment, and there are probably a few other obscure formats we don't handle.

Yeah, I totally respect that and wasn't at all trying to pitch it, so I hope I didn't come off as doing so. Just trying to get it working with this ROM :)

Very nice. Exactly the answer I was hoping for. :)

Oh, please don't misunderstand...it was just a friendly, proactive reminder. You came off as perfectly reasonable! I'll take a peek at the error log and see if anything looks conspicuous.

Hmm, just got some information from a knowledgable guy:

Code:
They tried adapting the gen2 Tegra lib of StageFright to the Gen1 Tegra on the G-Tab but it doesnt support all formats or rendering I believe

So that seems like the heart of the issue.

Well, the dev (Bardell) may have an idea of what to make of it. As I'm sure you know, there are issues with hardware acceleration on the gTab using Honeycomb. Have you tried your app on Froyo/Gingerbread ROMs with the gTab yet? TnTLite 4.4.0 is an oldie-but-goodie, you might give that a try!

Yes, it runs fine on 2.x, but in 3.x it makes better use of hardware acceleration, assuming that's working :)
