Ref: [ROM - 1.2] Flashback - Honeycomb - Alpha 5.5 (7/17/11) [G-TABLET\ZPAD T2] - SlateDroid.com
As of now, this is the latest HC rom from tlbardelljr.
We were in the hospital for the last few days and my wife really enjoyed streaming video from the net. In fact the picture and sound are way better than watching the hospital's TV.
The video does not reflects the true beauty of screen due to our cheap camera. The actual screen was vibrant and sharp. The rom has nice boot screen and wallpaper. The wallpaper is not the best there is, as it affects some icons. But it is better than the ones from other rom's. Perhaps the standard blue background, which is included, is better for the eyes.
There are five screen pages, a Home page and four others. There should be plenty of real estate for folks to display their favorite apps. The first page I had it reserved for book readers, news readers, and media players; applications on the second; online apps on the third and games on the fourth.
The video gave a quick view of Aldiko, UPnPlay, NY Times, SetCPU, Smarbench (the score was around 2700), Youtube, Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, Fruit Ninja, Plants Vs Zombies and few others.
The original video is 9 minutes long, H.264, 1280 x 720 frames, 7440 bps, 60 fps.
It is a very pleasant rom to use.
Installation:
Since I upgraded from an earlier Flashback version, I used this procedure:
- Boot into ClockWorkMod Recovery
- Select "Wipe Cache partition"
- Then select Advanced, and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
- Then from main menu, select "Install zip from sdcard"
- Do Not reboot after applying the upgrade
- Select "Wipe Cache partition"
- Reboot and let it sit for 5-10 minutes after 1st boot then check favorite apps and reinstall/move to tablet as needed then another reboot. Then when satisfied that everything works - Nandroid backup.
If I am to upgrade to this rom from another 1.2 bl rom, I would have to add the data wipe before and after the flash.
The rom's boot time is a little long for my tablet (just about 2 minutes). Other than that, it performs better than I expected. The video can demonstrate that.

no problem with aldiko whatsoever. Use the free version. I had the paid version but trashed it long time ago. Also try iBook for android (free too). You may like it better.
