[Q] Change gTablet rom from Vegan Tab to Honeycomb

A week ago I got a gTablet from eBay and I've been very happy playing with it every day. The main reason to get this tablet was the possibility to get Honeycomb working on the device.
Now I'm ready to go forward and install a Honeycomb rom on it, but there are some issues that I can't resolve.
The first thing is the tablet came already rooted with VEGAn-TAB. Due to the fact that I have to check the bootloader version, I followed the well known instructions to do that, that is, go to Settings > About tablet > Tapu UI Version. The first problem I run into was that I don't have Settings > About tablet, I have Settings > About phone. When I tap on that option, I don't get Tapu UI Version. This is what I get:
Model number: VEGAn-TAB
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: Unknown
Kernel version: 2.6.32.36-cyanogenmod root at pershoot-ubuntu #1
CPU info: ARMv7 Processor rev o (v7l)
Mod version: VEGAn-7.0.0-RC1-Harmony
Build number: GRI40
Can I infere the bootloader version from this info?
The second thing is I have to decide wich rom can I install after getting the bootloader version.
And the last issue is what is the recommended procedure to install the selected rom given the current configuration of my tablet?
I've read several guides, lots of forum posts, and I've made a great deal of searches but haven't had any luck, so I decided to post this in the hope that someone of the great devs here can help me with my task.
Any help will be very apreciated.

Doesn't matter. Honeycomb has a different structure than everything else. You need to perform code red on my website to install honeycomb. Click in signature.

That looks like vegan tab ginger edition.
Should be 1.1 BL
You should be able to drop this Honeycomb rom on it... Get the 1.1BL version. It works well. I moved from VeganTab Ginger to this just fine

I copied the BL1.1 ROM from the link you provided me to the gTab and then I followed the guide to flash it from goodintentions' website and voilà!! after a few minutes I was playing with Honeycomb. Awesome!!!
Thank you very much for your help.

I am waiting for an update as I lost bluetooth after updating to Beta 3.1. Very snappy. Which ROM are you using?

I installed yesterday. But I can not see any videos (sound only, flash 10.3 plugin). Does anybody know why?

I'm loving this Honeycomb ROM; there's no chance I'll be switching back.

Erm, on a side question, which HC rom are you using?
Is it Bottle of Smoke Honeycomb? Or gTab comb ? Honeycomb illuminate. I am now using a CM7 harmony and no idea which HC is better. I don't need bluetooth or camera, but I sure want a good stable HC

+1 for GtabComb
If your not on it, get on it. If you are and cant get flash to work then do this. Make sure adobe flash 10.3 is installed in market, then download and install Opera MOBILE browser. Flash will then work

Well, I still can't get Flash to work for everything (Flash games such as Cityville, Dungeon Overlord, CivWorld, etc).

I'm using GtabComb 3.1, you can find the link in schettj's post in the begining of this thread.

Upgrade to 3.2
A day after I flashed GtabComb beta 3.1 on my gTab, zyhong posted a new rom, beta 3.2. I would like to upgrade to this version, without having to reinstall all the apps I already have now. Any advice on how to do it? I'm planning to use Titanium Backup but I don't know what to backup (should I backup just user apps or user apps + system data)
As always, any help would be highly appreciated.

Instructions are on one of the last pages of the gtabcomb thread. Someone just asked that.

Thanks dman918, indeed there is a post about it in the gtabcomb thread. I just copied the zip file to the gtab, went to recovery mod, flashed the zip and cleared dalvik cache. After reboot, I found everything in its place.

Glad I could help! Also good to know for when the next release comes out.

[Q] From stock to Team Eos Wifi Nightlie (wingray/MZ604)

Hi,
I'll be getting my brand new Xoom Wifi (EU) next week. Now that there's an ICS rom with camera and hdmi, I want to upgrade to ICS. I have some experience with rooting/flashing the Hannspree Hannspad but just to be sure. The steps to go from stock to Team Eos Wifi Nightlie (wingray/MZ604):
- root
- install clockworkmod
- flash zip from sd
Is this correct ?
Thanks

I am about 90% sure that's correct. Not feeling to well right now and its been a while since I flashed from stock. I am sure someone will correct me if necessary.

You can use the guide, below. I recommend that you read the 1st post thoroughly and at least read the last several pages as they may be somewhat relevant to your situation.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction !

Don't upgrade to any ics rom if you are planing to test drive or daily use the Xoom. You will not be able to play games that have 3d. Only native apps will work (some). I think its the build and not that its a new OS...but its a nightly so you can't complain. I'm going to relock my Xoom and wait for the official release. There is no real point in using a custom rom if you are at the newest OS and the horse power is great for gaming and working. There are plenty of apps that will give you customization without root. Overclocking is not that notorious but will drain the baterry faster so there is no gain. ICS looks awesome and devs are really genious but I think the rom will not be useful until the official update comes out.

I'm coming from the Hannspree Hannspad and on that tablet I've used all kinds of roms (different Honeycomb flavors). I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. From what I've read in the forums the current build is a fully functional ICS rom. Can someone shed a light on this ?

Games or apps that require 3d doesn't work. Even soul craft that is a ics compatible game. So its not ics ...its the rom. I'm not complaining its a nightly but people saying its a functional build...well it is if you stay with the stock apps and native made apps. But for me its not. List of apps that doesn't work that I use. AutoCAD,Photoshop, gta3 , every gameloft , dead space.... some other apps work but sometimes fc or refuse to open and have to reboot. Some will say its not the rom but devs not upgrading theyr apps for ics but I have seen games working and then not in every ics build. So there's that.

Most of the application works. gameloft's game is not working currently.
I m nw on teameos aosp build29 n i m very satisfy with this rom. It is extremely smooth n fast. camera is working now too.

Actually the nightly builds are quite functional for daily drivers. It depends on what you do with your Xoom. I'm not that much of a gamer, so I don't care much about that. Photoshop Touch works fine, but can't connect with Creative cloud (at least a few builds ago when I tried), most everything else works fine. Not all apps have made the changes needed for compatibility with ICS yet, so not really an Eos ICS Nightly problem.

All went smooth. Running ICS now! Heaven. Thanks a lot!
Edit: should cifs work out of the box? Using cifs manager but cannot mount shares
Edit 2: When upgrading to a new nightly: just wipe cache & flash zip ? (sorry can't post in the correct forum yet).

Not sure about the navi x add-on. But go back to xbmc.org where you got it from. Look for Dependencies. Sometimes a Similar add on will help get those installed. Also is this a Stable release of xbmc. Sometimes the nightly s break things. Just like in Android and Cm

[Q] Seeking the safest, most stable Kitkat (with tutorial) for P5113

Can I get recommendations for the safest, most stable version of Kitkat for my tab 2 10.1 P5113 ... with instructions?

I think the slim rom must be the most safe and stable rom.

I agree, SlimKat is very stable and fast. I've been running it for quite some time. Tried SlimLP, but it still needs some work. As for instructions, each ROM thread usually tells you what you need to install it. If you're asking for instructions for rooting and recovery, well you need to start doing some reading. Here's a thread to get you started: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535083

I may be interested in trying SlimKat. Where is the latest stable version?

Android Andy has a super stable CM11 thats lite and has been my daily driver for almost 2yrs now.
Don't bother with CM12 it's buggy since it runs on lollipop, I don't think these old tabs can handle lollipop.
I tried lollipop and it didn't play good, bad battery, some apps acted up and I would get reboots .

I saw you found it, stay away from nightlies, you want "final" "official" or "snapshot" not nightlies.
Nightlies are experimental and cause stuff to stop working. They are for people that don't do anything else all day and night but play with there tablet.
You will pull your hair out with nightlies.
I warned you, stay away from nightlies. :banghead:

Cyanogen Android version 4.3.1

Hi All,
Apologies I know this is a old device and trust me I have scoured the web before I ask for for this.
Does anyone have Gapps etc for Cyanogen Android version 4.3.1 for this o/s?
I know it's old and no longer supported, but I have just been handed this Samsung Galaxy tab 2 EPRESSO10RF and wanted to try and get some life out of it.
Cyanogen Android version 4.3.1 - seems to run pretty well on this device, hence why I wanted to pursue getting play store on this.
Thank you in advance.

You should go to the "Unified development" thread as you have many up to date and fully working roms from Marshmallow to Oreo.

If you want to use Jellybean then sure. There is a russian forum called 4pda i remeber there still being an alive link for jb gapps. Will check and update. But i would recommend something like a marshmellow rom without gapps. Gapps have become quite a lag machine on these older devices since 2012. I only see them viable on kitkat.
