loving it
The latest update is great! Still having a problem with the flashplayer causing crashes though..any recommendations other than the hacked apk that is available in the build?
Thanks JR,
This will always be the ROM running on my GTAB. You are a great asset to the gtab community!
tlbardelljr
This isn't a new problem (I've had it with all the Honeycomb ROMs I've used), but when I hold the power button and choose "Recovery", my G Tablet doesn't boot into recovery, it just reboots normally. I can only get into recovery by holding the volume up button while rebooting. Is this normal? It isn't really a big deal, but I thought I'd report it.
I'm running Flashback 10.3.
JazzRuby, Thank you so much for posting an update for the Gtab, any new ROM is a welcome, but more so for a HC!!!
So again Thanks!!
Just got the gtab from a friend. This ROM is amazing, but no working flash player, can't play anything. Any ideas?

Flash player DOES work (kind of). If you long press on the area where the flash "would be." And then press in the upper-left of the area, you can make the flash object full screen, where it WILL work!
which version?

Are you using the hacked flash.apk?
Nope, just update or fresh download the newest version that shows up in the market and most browser pages with flash videos will play (you can hear them but prob not see them) then you kind of have to "guess" where that "full screen" button is on the video window, and if you hit it spot on, it should launch the flash video full screen. It's a *****, but it works. I'm going back and reloading some of the other HC roms to see which one I can live with for now.
Hey everyone!
Just put this on my gtab, and i have an issue. When i go to install an app, it causes a reboot from the splash screen, and when it comes back up, the wifi doesnt work(gives an error) until i restart the tablet.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

This is a known issue with the Shutdown.apk (app), unfortunately no resolve at the moment, but will look into it further.

Thanks for the quick repsonse!
Alright, well a bit of a rollercoaster here..
I went through and followed this guide to get my tablet up to 4349.
This one
Then, I attempted to install CWM .8 to manage roms and such.
That did not work, it soft bricked the device, so i went and NVFlashed it back, and went through the process of getting it back to 4349.
I then used the included recovery (v3?) to install Flashback.
Any tips on getting CWM to go on along with 4349?
EDIT: So far its happened with every app, it downloads fine. When it switches to "installing..." the tablet goes to the Flashback splashscreen.

OK, I think I follow you, your currently running Flashback 10.3, correct?
If so, you can flash/install ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8 rev5 internally.
FB 10.3 includes the recovery binaries for Stock and ClockworkMod, you just need to flash/install via terminal.
Open/Run Terminal Emulator and type the following:
$ su - become Superuser
# cwmrecovery.sh - will flash/install ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8
# fixrecovery.sh - will flash/install Stock recovery
Terminal Emulator: https://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
Thanks! I will try that out and post back!
Haha yeah I was, Im just gonna start from the beginning to try and iron out any problems I may have caused.
Also, the kernel in the first post, will that help improve stability? Or is it simply the overclock?
Thanks for your help!

First of all, make sure you're on 1.2 bootloader; if you've already NVFlashed 4349 then you are.
Second, download and flash/install this ClockworkMod:
http://dev-host.org/g4e68tsmgdlp/gTab.cwm.3028.1.2.zip
If you already got ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8 rev5 then skip the above, if not, and you have Stock recovery, then rename to update.zip and flash.
Third, use the 'Clean' install method in the OP.
Flashback 10.3 already has pershoot's kernel baked in, the 2 kernel pkgs in the OP are to allow trying/testing between the two.
-JR-
Could you point me in the direction of finding that version of NVFlash? Im using one that goes to a very old version of TnT and then i need to wait for an OTA update.
Ive searched on the forum but havent turned up much.
That makes more sense. Thanks for all your help. I dont want to come across as a noob, but for some reason this tablet has been giving me the most trouble of all getting this stuff right. haha
---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------
*facepalm* All I had to do was reinstall Flashback.
Thanks so much for your help! It no longer restarts when I install apps.
So i think the problem was down to that I didnt use CWM to install it, after I used NVFLASH v5 it installed that new version of CWM you mentioned. I then did a CLEAN install of Flashback and so far so good! I hope this can help someone else out as well.
Looking good JR. Keep up the great work!

Hello.
I have installed the Defy Red Len CM10 Nightly Build.
I know there is a 2nd boot nightly build which provided a better solution than the non 2nd boot build
Can anyone provide a step guideline to upgrade / flash installation to the 2nd boot nightly build?
Thanks a lot

Here you go
if upgrading from previous CM10 builds:
1) Wipe Cache and Dalvik.
2)Flash Rom
3)Flash Gapps
4)Wipe Cache and Dalvik again & Reboot
and if coming from different builds(like CM7,CM9 etc)
1)Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik
2)Flash Rom
3)Flash Gapps
4)Wipe Cache and Dalvik again & Reboot
Hope this helps you and ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING NEW ROM.
Thanks a lot. It works
Do you know how to the url for the Check update repo for 2nd boot build?
if you have CM10 from 24.09. and want jump to new kernel by Quarx you don't have to flash gapps ,in the other side yes you have to ,i recommended minimal gapps
yep¡ whit out gapss, for me works like a charm... the new build is 21.10

Does anyone know whether this build works on a MB525 with green lense as well, and can confirm that this is one build for 525 green and red lenses as well as for MB526 ?
Greetz.
I own a MB525, red lens, and I am using CM10 by Quarx (Sep 12th). So I just have to:
1) Wipe Cache and Dalvik.
2)Flash Rom
3)Flash Gapps
4)Wipe Cache and Dalvik again & Reboot
And, in today's release, then the update?
What about the kernel? Which one, and when? Thanks
EDIT: Oh, is it incluided in the ROM file now? Sorry, I don't quite understand what the differences are between classic CM10 nightlies and CM10 2ndboot nightlies (I know something about the custom kernel, but haven't found much information exclusively about it).
Please ask all questions in the Q&A section. Thread moved there.
I just followed these steps and now can't boot. I am able to enter the boot menu, but custom recovery just brings me back to the main menu, stable recovery does the same thing and stock recovery brings me to an android with a exclamation point in a triangle.
In fact anything I tap just brings me back to the main menu except boot and reboot.
Any ideas?
so the usual wipe and flash rom works even for earlier cm10 builds? i thought there was more than that (to install new custom rom.. flash some other files as well etc).. just making sure..
can u tell me the advantages? faster? more battery life? ........
General rulez to upgrade from CM10 24.09. to new qkernel :
1. Wipe's all data/cache/dalvik
2. install zip the newest/upgrede v4 from 27.10.
3. install gapps (all or minimal ) (the same gapps as 24.09. version)
4. do wipe's but only cache and dalvik
5. reboot
it's all enjoy
Question:
Whats the difference between 2nd boot builds and "non"2nd boot builds?
the new kernel gives as new possibility ,i can tell you technical staff ,but i use ROM before and after and i think that 2nd boot is faster and more stabile
Hi.
I'd like to upgrade to upgrade my Motorola Defy+ MB526 from Quarx CM10 24-09 (non-2ndboot) to 27.10 (2ndboot), but I'm not really sure of the steps. So I have to:
Open Stable Recovery
Wipe Cache, Dalvik and Data
Install zip from sdcard - 18.10 2ndboot build for MB526
Install zip from sdcard - update_for_18.10_v4.zip
Install zip from sdcard - gapps
Reboot
Is that right?
EDIT: Worked, done the following:
- Start Stable Recovery (of last Quarx non-2ndboot ROM)
- Backup all (Nandroid)
- Wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik cache
- install zip from sdcard -> 2ndboot ROM>100MB.zip
- install zip from sdcard -> update_for_xxxx_vx.zip
- install zip from sdcard -> GAPPS (I used PicoTTS (all))
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik cache
- exit recovery
- shutdown
- Start Bootmenu
- shutdown
- Power on
- After first boot it rebooted but then it booted 2ndboot ROM perfectly.
Why is it that it should be shut down and restarted twice? Any particular reason?

do this:
goto recovery,
choose stable recovery>wipe data>wipe cache>advanced>wipe dalvik
than flash http://quarx2k.ru/cm10-2ndboot-nightly-defy(+)/CM10-20121018-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip
wipe cache and dalvik again
now flash http://quarx2k.ru/cm10-2ndboot-nightly-defy(+)/update_for_18.10_v4.zip
wipe cache and dalvik again.
and reboot
it should boot normaly,if not,than remove battery,and reinsert it after 10 mins,
first boot will take a little time,so dont worry.
if it boots perfectly than u can go into the recovery again and install gapps :good:
..

Because you want to install the 4.3 is necessary to format data (do a factory reset) BEFORE! That can be done from TWRP or CWM.

Hi, you should at first update to latest nightly 4.1.2 in order to upgrade the recovery and then move to 4.3, both wiping data and cache before flashing each ROM.
1) Download latest 4.1.2 and 4.3 ( you find link to them in the OP posts of the rispective threads )
2) wipe cache/dalvik.
3) flash latest 4.1.2.
4) wipe cache/dalvik.
5) flash 4.3.
6) wipe cache/dalvik.
7) Reboot.
A better solution would be to wipe also "/data" (and /system) in step 4 using " defy ultimate wipe ":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818520.
So it would be:
1) Download latest 4.1.2 and 4.3 and defy ultimate wipe.
2) Reboot
3) Wipe cache/dalvik.
4) Flash latest 4.1.2.
5) wipe cache/dalvik.
6) Reboot
7) Reboot
7) Wipe everything (/system /data /cache /dalvik_cache) defy ultimate wipe ( DO NOT REBOOT BEFORE doing the next step )
8) Flash 4.3.
9) wipe cache/dalvik.
10) Reboot.

Got to say that I try using CM10.1 & CM10.2 in the last week,
I got the same device asyou and to tell the truth, the CM10 (android 4.1.1) is the best for our defy's!
works good, no crashes or any other problems...
If you still think of trying it - go to youtube and look for- defy install cm 10.2
take a look at some of the videos.. it will assist you.
good luck!
thanks for replys
I am using CM10.2 vor few days now, and quite satisfied.

Minimal gapps on TJKV's thread, couldn't you see the OP? http://d-h.st/fTT
Hello Fellow XDA's,
ANY LINKS THAT YOU SEE IN THIS THREAD ARE OWNED BY THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS I MADE THIS TUTORIAL FOR THOSE WHO COULDN'T INSTALL THE CYANAOSP4.4 AS EXPLAINED BY DEV!!!
BELOW YOU CAN SEE THE OTHER METHOD:
1. IF YOUR FRESH INSTALLING:
Root your I9000,
Download the latest cm 10.2 nightly (link below),
Download the CYANAOSP ROM4.4 (link below),
Download Gapps4.4 (link below)
Download all files to your desktop and don't copy yet to your sdcard,
Open the CYANAOSP WinRAR and copy the updater.sh to your desktop,
Extract cm10.2 rom zip and paste the updater.sh it'll ask to replace that folder and click yes,
After that zip up that modified cm10.2 folder,
Now copy the modified cm10.2, Gapps4.4 & CYANAOSP4.4 to your sdcard,
Go to recovery,
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Flash the modified cm10.2 it should reboot while your installing and you'll see like the cm logo and it will bring you to the recovery,
Flash CYANAOSP4.4 and then the Gapps
Reboot & Njoy!
2.COMING FROM ANOTHER ROM:
Wipe data , cache , dalvik cache (required while changing layout)
Format system and datadata (required while changing layout)
Install CyanAOSP ROM.
Install my Gapps package (required) , link below.
Set up the ROM and leave it alone for 10-15 mins.
Reboot again and enjoy.
IF YOU GET ERROR DURING THIS PROCEDURE THEN TRY THE FIRST METHOD BUT FOR THAT YOU FIRST NEED TO FLASH YOUR DEVICE TO 2.3.6
If you have any queries or questions do not hesitate to ask!
SPECIAL THANKS TO:
ts1506 for the ROM
darkknigh_t for extra help

So i saw a thread about DotOS and it looks really nice so i thought i should install it. But tbh i'm totally lost. I have a Galaxy S5 SM-G900F model. And i dont know what to do to get something like a Custom Rom to running on it. I saw something about Bootloader there then some Recovery tool and Flashing. But nowhere i found a real "Tutorial" or Step by Step guide. So before i do something stupid and destroy my Phone i ask here for help. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advice!

I don't have this variant nor use DotOS but, your best bet is to post this question within the following DotOS thread.

Good Luck!

UNLESS asked to do so, PLEASE don't PM me regarding support. Sent using The ClaRetoX Forum App on my SM-G900T device.

Alright i did everything. But now i dont know i guess i have a problem. Now when i want to set it up. It just say "Searching for Updates" In a few min everything is ready." And sometimes i get a message that the Google Play Service was closed. And nothing happens really. Did i messed up somewhere?

I don't use that rom
Did you wipe data before flashing the rom?
You can manually just goto settings and clear data of every Google app but really if you wiped data before you flashed the rom you wouldn't need to do this
Can't really suggest anything else
I use lineageos 15.1

I did everything what you sayd. System, Cache, data and dalvik/art cache. And after flashing again dalvik/art cache. And i cant access the Menu at all. Like i said its like a "First Time" Setup and i cant skip it. It just wants to search for Updates and it doesnt go away.
EDIT: I tried to restart the phone. In the left Up corner it say: Waranty something about Kernel in yellow. And the Boot time takes some time longer. But it starts without a problem. But still i cant skip past the "Checking for updates" sequence.

Wipe everything again
Flash rom zip only
Boot the rom
Go back into recovery mode
Flash gapps and magisk
Restart
Or you can manually disable the welcome screen by editing the build.prop
It's probably a rom thing but since I don't use it I can't advise further
If you can't get it working use the official lineage os 15.1 rom instead
https://download.lineageos.org/klte
Flash process is as I originally wrote
Also make sure you are using the latest bootloader & modem
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904022979
Put that file in AP section of odin and flash it (phone in download mode)

Alright so i flashed the rom only and started it. Works without a single Problem. So i guess maybe its something with the Google Apps. But now i installed Google Apps without Magisk and it works too. But when i want to open Google Play Store it just tells me: Google Play Services keeps stopping. So is it something with the MindTheGapps? I used this version: MindTheGapps-8.1.0-x86-20180808_153917
IMPORTANT EDIT!!! :
So i tried Lineage OS as suggested. Same problem. Google Play Services stopped working. So its 100% a Google Apps problem at least i think so. Any idea how to fix this? Tried MindTheGapps x86. OpenGapps on DotOS site with Arm64 then it failed and told me to use for my device the ARM version. Good installed that. Worked but there also Google Play Services stopped working. So what is the problem here? Also i used that Bootloader & Modem thing so i use the latest of these things.

Sorry my mistake - I got confused over which gapps you were selecting
I thought you were talking about 64bit or 32bit arm
It should be arm not x86
Use this one
Just wipe everything and flash again as per original instructions but use this gapps zip

As long as you wiped system data and cache and then flashed the rom zip & the arm gapps no reason why it would
You can always format data instead (option on right of to advanced wipe) but make sure you transfer anything on internal storage you need to keep to pc first)
You can always try OpenGapps instead
Arm 8.1 nano

I dont know. I do always the same as you told me. System ,Data , Cache and Dalvik Cache. Then Flashing and reboot. As said everything works just the Google Apps refuse to work. But hey. I got it managed to install with APK my usual Stuff like Chrome, Discord and stuff. And it works. So no complains. I just have to use apks from now on then. But better than nothing i guess. Still strange that those Gapps wont work....

Volume Up + Home + On/Off button.
Go to Wipe option on TWRP
Click Advanced Swipe
In the option "Select partitions to wipe", choose:
Dalvik/ART Cache
System
Data
Cache
Let MicroSD and USB Storage off. Don't choose them.
So swipe to wipe
Then try to make all the whole proccess again...
For Galaxy S5 will be always ARM. I've always used OpenGapps, since MindTheGapps seems gliched to me.
