LAST UPDATE: 9/25/11 (Version 2.0)



STANDARD DISCLAIMER:
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. By running this firmware, you agree that there is the possibility that you may brick your device. You agree that only you are responsible and no one else is responsible for supporting you if that occurs.

Acknowledgments
I owe everyone thanks for this Icewgn, gojimi, thinkdevoid, kushdeck and everyone working on cm. Thanks to Pershoot and all for making this ROM possible!

Pre-requisites
1. Setup and learn how to use nvflash. This is your backout in case something bad happens, so I would recommend you understand how to use this, in advance.
2. Have your device on a stock 1.2-based ROM / mod baseline. For example, build 4349 is the latest 1.2-based stock ROM, as of this writing.

Installation for 1.2-based stock
Three options for installing Flashlight

Option 1 (May have instability)
- Copy the zip file to the root of your internal memory.
- Reboot into recovery. Select install from sdcard.
- Wipe data if after first boot you experience instability or non functioning features that work for others. (this still may not fix your issues)

Option 2 (Preferred method and most stable option)
- View detailed instuctions

Option 3 (nvflash)
- if either option above did not work your tab may still have the factory default partition size or data not being fully removed.
- use tlb1961's Rev4 nvflash for windows or linux if option 1 or 2 did not work. (Detailed Instructions included in download.)

Features
- Rooted
- Gapps
- Adhoc networking support
- Improved battery life by the removal of the Phone apks
- Live Wallpapers
- HD Video 720 with these test videos

You're awesome! I was playing with Flashpoint for a couple of days and just went back to Flashback last night. I went back in large part because of how good the HC port is but also because there were a few apps that required 2.3 or better. So, now, I get to play with this.

Thanks for all these ROMS. Keep up the amazing work. I just got paid so there's a little adult beverage money coming your way.

Thanks! I did find a bug right after I posted it. The wallpaper is not scaling right. I will update as soon as I figure out what is causing it. I don't think other ginger based roms are running at 120dpi so hopefully that is not the issue. If it is we may just have to go with 160.

Ok...all the gingerbread roms I have tried so far have the same bug. Wallpaper cut off at the bottom. I will keep digging! It has nothing to do with the dpi.

Excellent bardell. Another ROM for me to try.

Yeah, it's a "known issue" with running Pre-honeycomb android on tablets. Only thing I've been able to do is either 1) add extra pixels to the image, or 2) find a wallpaper I didn't mind losing the bottom part of.

I noticed that Flashpoint stretches the wallpaper to fit, no matter the size- it's the first rom I've seen do that, and it looks great with widescreen wallpaper meant for laptops. If we could figure out what they modded, it would be awesome to use in other roms.

I did that in Flashpoint....but the fix there is not working for gingerbread. At least not yet, still testing.

Vulkano Player works in Flashlight!

Awesome timing Bardell for releasing a GB rom... I was about to re-flash Flashback 8 and give up on Vulkano Player working on the Gtab (for now...Flashback will get there). Anyway after zero success on every other 2.x rom at viewing my new Monsoon Vulkano Flow, it stinkin works in Flashlight

albeit temporarily - Gtab froze after 5 minutes or so

But still, it stinkin works in Flashlight and nowhere else.

I'll test it further and report, but I first tried Vulkano Player at the default minimal settings and no dice, garbled pixels and no audio sync (same on Flashback), switched to High Quality video and 90hz audio and it works.

It will play some 720p. I added them to the HD video post. The link is in the original post. I believe there are others as well that will play these? Red Aurora for the Adam is where I started, I added our libs and it worked. Odd thing is, Red Aurora does not play HD videos on the Adam.

Temporary bliss, but it was nice... when I had time to turn Gtab back on after Vulkano freeze, had the classic 3 birds freeze, no recovery nada. Already nvflashed and will keep trying.

Again thanks for Flashlight and I'll be switching b/w it and Flashback

One bug on mine: The SDCARD2 apears that is empty. And is not - if I plug it into the reader.

If you look at storage under settings, it shows Internal storage: /mnt/emmc

When I go into file explorer it's going to /mnt/sdcard2

I know every little about these things, but it might be the problem?

I am running Flashback 7.2 on my gtab, and am pretty happy--but not perfectly happy. What do you recommend that might serve me better? Note taking at work, videos, games, net surfing are my goals.

Thanks to all the mods and devs--I'm having a great time!
