Nope its a complete freeze up. It almost looks like the kernel glitches because I see micro blurs on some of the lettering when it freezes. I've done like moose told me. Ive re download countless times and reinstalled countess times to no avail.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Eruzembreg:
You can't you still need the GSM rom for that. sorry:-(

Regards

Eru
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
The short answer... no. The GSM build should be available soon, so I'd just wait, and install something safe, versus trying to install a firmware not meant to be on your device. You run the very real risk of ending up with a $600 paperweight in your hands, versus a functional device with a beautiful system on it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
Hmmm... have you tried reflashing the kernel via Heimdall??
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jtipton79:
Yep. Ive installed HC on it then tried flashing the HC kernal after the install as well. I dont understand why my tab is so different. Its a SCH-I800 From Verizon. I should have no issues at all. I may take my Droid 2 and video the install and post it on here to show everyone my install and the freeze up.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
That (the video) might be the easiest way for some of the more technically gifted people here to help you out, because I'm at a loss. I have the same device, and I had zero issues with getting this to run. Are you getting any error messages during the flashing process in cwm? I'm sorry I'm not able to be of more assistance, but I'm kinda out of ideas... :confused:
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] vabeach454:
Installed 2.5 and it is running GREAT on my CDMA SPRINT TAB. lol... this is nice, much better than 2.0 . :eek:
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jtipton79:
Nope no errors.

Nope man im not getting a single error of any kind. Im gonna post the video here as soon as CWM gets through backing up. Im gearing up to flash HC again with Heimdall and record it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jtipton79:
Heres the video of my HC install freezing up...maybe this will help.K

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
Hey man, how long until the video's done processing? I've been trying to view it for about 20 minutes now, so I can take a look at the issues you're having...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
If you ran/run Overcome, then you have a GSM device right? So what "Spacemoose build" are you running, because she hasn't released one for you guys yet... :confused:
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
The GSM build from repo obviously.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
True. I'm going to run the risk of possibly upsetting some people, but I'm going to formally request that whoever compiled the GSM build (the name escapes me at the moment), please move it to a separate thread. The fact that we have an unofficial build available for download seems to be confusing people. Not only that, but we're being bombarded with issues, related directly to that build, when Space really has had nothing to do with it. I think it's great that somebody compiled a build for people to "play" with, but I think it's only proper to leave this thread for Spacemoose related builds and issues. Having to sort out issues for people flashing repo composite builds is not what we should be doing... we should be sorting out issues, and giving feedback on the official firmware. Sorry for the rant, and I'm not trying to flame anyone... just trying to make a suggestion/request that, I think would help out everyone who's viewing this thread. :o
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] luke1333:
I agree! If its not spacemooses it shouldn't be here unless its apks or small stuff that accompanys spaces work! I get lost even just looking for cdma help this should probably be AT LEAST two threads with everything going on here!

P.S. When is cdma alpha 3 dropping? Cause hotel on our way back tonight should have business center with pc and I'm going to try to flash bricked tab!! :)

Sent from HTC Thunderbolt 4G on Gingeritis IX
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
Alpha 3 may be a ways away (not sure though), but 2.5 is out, and has a TON of new features (audio, lockscreen, some new widgets, etc.)! It's running like a dream for me, and I'd definitely suggest giving it a try! :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] anfalas:
Sorry to put the cat among the pigeons but I disagree!! To be fair Spacemoose did in fact direct us to the repo if we felt like giving it a shot so you can't really blame anyone for wanting to discuss issues relating to it. No offence to you guys but I hope you get my point :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] anfalas:
Totally agree, 2.5 is a massive improvment - thanks again for all your hard work Spacemoose ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] chriskader:
Yes, but those builds have already said that they are not supported. Plus, people making the GSM Builds are modifying them so its really not a GSM build from the repo. If it is not released by spacemoose1, it needs to be in its own thread. When people post "builds" in the thread, others think that these are official and they should work.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
See, THAT I do agree with, but pulling files out of repo is not something that everyone can do. If someone has the skill to pull the files, and compile a build to test on their own, then that's one thing, but there's a composite build several pages back, that (I believe) is built with both GSM and CDMA components, and THAT'S what seems to be causing people some issues. Space, herself, stated a few pages back, that she'd prefer that GSM owners wait on an official build, so that troubleshooting can be addressed in a streamlined fashion. Like I said, pulling and putting together a build for personal use is one thing, IF you have the skill to do so, but "releasing" a build like that to the public (which, I'm sorry, contains too many noobs who don't always follow instructions, or have the ability to recover from errors), is what I take some issue with. That's all I really meant by my post.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
Here's Space's post, just so everyone knows where I'm pulling my info from...

"By the way... I haven't had time to read the back log of posts over the last couple of days, but at a quick glance, it appears that some of you are having trouble installing the GSM build....

That's because I haven't released a GSM build yet.

You take a risk any time you flash a custom rom. Any time you flash a custom rom that is put together by someone other than the creator you take twice the risk.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't do what you want with your own device. But be aware... all of my officially released roms have been tested and have less of a chance of messing up your device than something assembled from pre-released code by someone who didn't design the rom and doesn't know all of its quirks and issues.

If you want a sure deal... wait for the official release.

But again... its your device, and it's not my place to tell you what to do with it."
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] chriskader:
Yours sounds SO much better then mine.

One a good note:

What is everyones average battery life with 2.5?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
Haven't tested it yet, but I had 43% left after 24 hours on alpha 2. I'll charge the tab fully after Spectral Souls finishes pillaging my SD card with its 1GB data download :p and leave the device off the charger overnight, and into tomorrow, so I can get an accurate estimate. So far, it seems to be slightly worse than stock (I'd leave the tab unplugged for up to 3 days at times), but pretty good nonetheless!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] anfalas:
I totally get what your saying, and in fact agree with you where the 'modified' repo builds are concerned. Personally, I didn't modify mine, I unzipped it deleted the containing folder zipped it up again and flashed it - worked like a star! As far as having a seperate thread though, I reckon that's up to Spacemoose :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
Dude, all you do is download the folders from the repo and put the required ones (everything inside the "spacemoose-android-hc-system-gsm-7712f06" folder) in a zip file... thats it!

Many people wont have even bothered downloading teh other build they would have just zipped up their own from latest files. I think you are misunderstanding here and thinking that everybody is downloading some unofficial builds from a link. That may be true of some but most of the people posting have likely zipped there own.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
"As far as having a seperate thread though, I reckon that's up to Spacemoose"

You're probably right... I guess I was just letting out a bit of pent-up frustration. I just hate seeing people ruin good, and expensive devices, by being too impatient to wait for official releases. It doesn't make for a happy time on the thread. In the end, you're right though, it's 100% Space's call...:)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] anfalas:
Fair point, and I have to admit I must have missed Space's comment which you mentioned - I was going on her update on the OP. Only part I diasgree with is the skill required to build our own - I've got f**k all!! Basically played a game of spot the difference with another rom and all I could see was the container folder :D One thing we all agree on though is this honeycomb absolutely smokes on the tab - Peace :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
Anybody having problem getting the latest repo to boot?

Im getting stuck on the galaxytab screen. Gunna try with GB, had no issues using that as base. This time I used froyo like latest update says to.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] btyork:
Awesome! Well keep an eye on that thread, he'll be posting/giving me updates as he spits them out, and maybe he'll have some fixes you can use.

Thank you again, so very much, for starting this. All it took was someone to start and now it's already expanded to another developer. I don't care what the namby pambys say, I want honeycomb! :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ssserpentine:
Hey spacemoose. I was wondering if it is possible, since you are basically starting from scratch, to write something to include with your port for both cdma and gsm to make it think our tabs are running tegra 2 processors. Alot of games are comming out tegra 2 only and who knows, it might help make the port run better.

2.2.1
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ellokomen:
Excuse me to take the word here:

The tegra chip have some special functions in their API, even if we could look like we have Tegra onboard, it may crash at the moment to look for them.

If someone is willing to rewrite the Nvidia drivers for the Tab(very hardly) then its ok
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] spacemoose1:
News (4/6/11):

Added some fixes today for the capacitive touch buttons and added full support for the touch screen. Also re-designed the installation package, it should install much easier now. I am currently watching other efforts under way elsewhere for developments while working through the development of a new honeycomb kernel that should fix the driver issues and complete the system build (No other modification should be necessary, all else will fall in place as the errors we experience currently are from a chain-reaction of failures.) No ETA on that yet, but I'll keep you informed as best I can.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] spacemoose1:
Not possible. No hardware to support any such thing and no way to get around it. Completely different architectures. Good thinking though, I try to take all suggestions seriously.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] spacemoose1:
Downloaded the latest, but the only changes to the system were some added apps. Which is good, my goal is to make a clean build that needs no extra app to deliver full functionality so that customizers can make roms all day. (Would be nicer if we could build a kitchen... ::shakes fist at google:: )
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] luke1333:
will wifi and gps and etc ever work or is that not feasible?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] spacemoose1:
Oh yeah, wifi, 3G, GPS, all of it will work. Just not sure if it will be tomorrow, next week or next month. Keep checking in every couple of days.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DistortedWisdom:
Quick question. Will we be able to make phone calls from this firmware? In other words does honey comb support this function or do we actually have to work our ways around it?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] NH Apache:
I know I will. Amazing work!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] spacemoose1:
I'm sure something can be worked out either way... but as an extra function it will probably be one of the last things to go on. Focusing on the basic stuff atm :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] oldmacnut:
Seems to work on my vzw tab I use at home for wifi only.

Only things I picked up that have been mentioned, no sd, no wifi or 3g, can't see the navigation buttons on lower left, no rotation.

Ran fine, seemed weird having to flash one kernal, install rom, then flash your kernal just to get it to boot.

****, give me sd, and wifi and 3g, I'd be happy.

However, it is pretty jacked up that some guy, with a job, possibly school and a family, took a xoom hc dump and ported it to a galaxy tab in what......a month?, and it takes a ****ing corporation with I'm guessing an army of nerds a year plus to push an update to their products?.

I say these manufacturers need to just release the code, unlock devices, and pay the devs on this site. Every device would have options that suit the user much better than what they provide.

Just my .02

PHONE CALLS

I don't mind waiting, fully understand about first things first and priorities, but an increasing number of us use our GT as our only phone, and do not want it any other way, and will be very grateful if you try to implement this functionality at whatever stage in development is convenient for you.

For me Honeycomb would have no interest whatsoever if it would cripple my phone capability.

It seems BTW that HTC is about to release a honeycomb phone

http://www.slashgear.com/htc-pyramid-revealed-as-android-3-0-honeycomb-phone-15140056/
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] FuzionNL:
It seems that (at least a part) of Honeycomb's source code is made available by Asus.

You can get it here:

http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=gHh4q7I8dvWJzhdV

Click the download tab -> under OS click Android -> Download the HC goodness

I'm not a dev so I don't know if it's something that would help this project, but I sure do hope so!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] vxsasha:
It will be nice if you write about the progress of you work in topic or twitter! I belive that one day all will be working realy fast and good!!! Can you say why programmes such broser are working fast but launcher not? Is it caused by drivers of video acceleration&
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] spacemoose1:
Yeah, the error-loops run the system out of memory and things crash.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] spacemoose1:
The corporate phone company devs are stuck writing bloatware and UI mods for twenty devices still on froyo while the company itself has to weigh out how much they can promise to get people to buy a device, then how much can they NOT deliver on without losing customers so that they don't have to actually pay anyone to code it, then how much bloatware can they tack on to the existing OS to maximize profit, then they start on the next device and mostly ignore the old one because they have already made a fat wad of cash on it. After that, whatever crap barge is left is floated out OTA.

Do you buy a Dell because of the way they design software? No, you buy it because it's decent hardware at a decent price and you can install whatever OS you want by dropping in a disc and clicking "install".

If hardware and phone companies want to compete, they ought to have to compete for the same software build. Then you truly get the best devices at the best price and you aren't held hostage by blockbuster and amazon apps.

Sorry for the rant...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cdguider:
No need to apologize, someone needed to say it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] spacemoose1:
No release today, I just wanted to drop in and give you some updates on where the project stands. A lot of changes coming in the next update. A new kernel that solves many issues, numerous fixes for FCs, framework mods, driver hacks, actual file-hosting and yet another installation package improvement. I'm also preparing my "source files" for release along with a guide that explains what I did step by step (hoping to encourage outside development.) I will dump most of this on you within the week, hopefully before Friday (no promises, my time is severely limited so between working, studying and occasionally sleeping I have to squeeze in this project where I can.) I'll probably be silent until then, but I will still try to answer any emails.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] chriskader:
I would rather have a working product then a broken one anyday. Keep up what you do and make life priority number 1. If you need any help let me know. I have a Verizon tab. Thanks for the update
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
Probably true, and I hope you're right. I really hope that the people reporting GSM issues have, indeed followed the steps you've outlined. I guess time will tell, but I know it gets frustrating for all of us to be addressing GSM issues on every other page. I'll keep my fingers crossed though, and hope that you're correct in your assumption. And sorry again for the minor rant. :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] anfalas:
Sure did!! :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] chriskader:
The problem is the fact that people are downloading/posting something that is not made to be used by everyone yet. This causes issues for both support and reliability. People post questions and issues here that go along with there "unreleased" version of this ROM. Then others see these issues and think they will have the same ones, even though they may be on a CDMA tab.

Yes, it is an alpha build and you will have issues. But, let people make there own ZIPs. That way if they mess something up, it does not come back on you. People need to learn how to do this seeing as how they are messing with an experimental ROM anyway. If they cannot download something from a site and make a ZIP themselves, they should not be flashing ALPHA software.

If you want to experiment with these ALPHA builds, here is a small guide on how to download it from Github and create the ZIP.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE OR PC. THIS IS ALL IN ALPHA, DEAL WITH IT. I AM NOT PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR ANYTHING YOU DOWNLOAD, SO PLEASE DO NOT PM ME AND ASKING FOR HELP.

Goto spacemoose1's git account.

Click on your build: GSM or CDMA

android-hc-system-cdma

android-hc-system-gsm

At the top of the page, you will see a button that says downloads. Click it.

Choose ZIP.

The file should begin downloading shortly.

Once it is on your machine, open it up. You will see a folder at the root of the ZIP file.

Open that folder, and then take EVERYTHING in that folder and put it into a new ZIP.

You will have 4 files:

META-INF (FOLDER)

system (FOLDER)

updates (FOLDER)

lazygit.sh (FILE)

Your NEW zip file should have the above 4 files at its root.

Put that ZIP on your SD card and flash.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dallastx:
Ok instead of GSM vs CDMA....um can someone tell me if the CDMA "sprint" version is stable? Does the internet, gps, accelerometer, "normal things work" Is it laggy? I also saw the video on the first page when the guy said it was hard to get it to work...Is this true? I would love the OP to update the page on what works and what doesnt and things that need to be fixed for CDMA or a beta tester to tell the CDMA fans is it really worth it right now?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] anfalas:
Booted up first time for me - I went from stock as per the Overcome guide, flashed overcome kernel so I could get into CWM then flashed my 'frankenstein' alpha 2.5 from there ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
So far, so good for me. Internet works fine, maps is up and running, multitouch works well, games are solid... I think it's a really nice build... something you won't be disappointed with! :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
Did you use Overcome v1 or v2?

I used the froyo (v1) which apparently fixes the power button issue but just froze on galaxytab screen. I'm gunna try again with the v2 after battery is charged see if I can get 2.5 up and running.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TCstr8:
I ended up installing VTL Launcher, as the stock launcher was FCing on me at boot, and there was some lag occasionally. After installing VTL launcher everything has been running smooth as silk.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] anfalas:
I did exactly what it says in the Overcome Installation Guide (v.1.6.4) without installing the actual rom - then the usual wipe, wipe & wipe again........flash - Good luck dude, hope it works for you.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] keith.macdonald:
Ah, so THAT'S how you do it. Thanks, it's much appreciated. :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] anfalas:
I mean't to say earlier, really appreciate all the work you did on your apps thread - fantastic piece of work and very useful. Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
Thanks man! Feedback is always welcome. I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to do with it now that the market works, but I'll leave everything as-is for now, and maybe turn it into an app review thread in the future. :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] keith.macdonald:
I think that a far easier way to do this would be to use ODIN or Heimdall to flash stock Froyo, then flash that ext4 conversion zip that's floating around (it's linked in this thread), and then just build a zip from GIT, boot into recovery mode, and flash it; or, am I missing something?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] CyberCrisis:
red border

Hey does anybody know how to do something about the red border. I remember it being mention before but I can not find out where.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TCstr8:
You ought to consider just keeping Honeycomb optimized apps over there. Since the market doesn't allow you to look for apps that are specifically made for tablets. Just my $0.02.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] anfalas:
Yeah, that's basically the same as I did, except I flashed the overcome kernel in Odin which also does the ext4 conversion - only coz I love the sound of that sexy robot voice :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
Good call... I'll leave it as-is then, and add stuff to it as I find and test it! Thanks for the feedback guys! Much appreciated! :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
*slaps face*

damn it thats what I forgot. I flashed kernel then went straight to flashing HC rom instead of booting and letting it convert to ext4 :rolleyes:

*runs of and boots into download mode*
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] anfalas:
Haha! Good stuff, you'll be up n running in minutes then........... ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
Yup, back up and running with HC, this time pre-release Alpha 2.5 :D

Power button works, Lock screen is there, seems alot smoother :)

Gunna get terminal up see if I can get sd card mounted.
