Hi Mattman

I've downloaded the gsm.zip

I'm on froyo bootloaders ( the overcome with 1.64 cwm kernel ) as per pitbull guide

GSM tab

- i really want to try this, happy to wait but would rather have a go - ( un-noob enough not to brick ! )

I tried to cwm flash the hc-gsm.zip but it aborted.

Any tips ( even by pm ) to make the spacemoose-android-hc-system-gsm-7712f06.zipflashable ?

- or a link to a cwm 2.5 gsm zip - just to play whilst I wait for Spacemoose.

ps I've donated to Spacemoose already

Thanks

What works for me is:

Extract the downloaded archive, open the extracted folder and put all the inside files in a new .zip archive.

Good Luck

I own a GSM tab. Currently on Ginger Overcome 2.0.0 Gold. I really want to taste Honey Comb, waiting is bad feeling but I will wait if this give me a safe way to use HC.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ssserpentine:
it basically downloaded a zipped copy of a zip.

unzip the initial zip.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ssserpentine:
wait. if you havent flashed a rom on a single device 8 different times, younare not ready.

and not then.

messing with your bootloaders is scary

Red Screen Outline

Looks like good news for Galaxy Tab owners. Yay!

Was cruising around on behalf of a friend who owns this device. Found many of the issues reported to be exactly the same issues encountered during Honeycomb port to Nook Color. Here is a post from their thread (about turning off the red screen outline):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13563232&postcount=310

Also worth noting these issues common to ALL honeycomb ports (Nook, G-Tablet):

Flaky sound (also true on a stock Asus Transformer).

supplemental memory (be it usb, sdcard, whatever).

sleep/wake-up issues

battery consumption

wifi reliability

Youtube/flash/video acceleration

Please check up on the xda Honeycomb forums for Nook Color, G-Tab, Vega, Adam before burning endless hours trying to fight these same battles over again.

Best of luck, it looks like I will be recommending the Spacemoose1 HC port to my friend.

force close

Fantastic work to start off. Is anyone else having a problem with 3d gallery force closing? Every boot I get the same thing. FC. verizon table.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nguyenphucthanh:
yeah I hope there will be a step by step instruction to use HC and back to ginger easily. It's not easy as I thought. I used to flash so much ROM but on a simple phone like Motorola Dext.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DistortedWisdom:
Thanks guys, it would have taken me forever to figure it out. going back to stock froyo with repartitioning> rooting> patching boot loader>installing Overcome 2.1.6 Kernel>then finally flashing HC solved the rebooting glitch every time the screen goes off.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kashortiexda:
Hi

Thanks for the tip, but I must be doing something incorrectly....

I extract the downloaded zip ( lets call ir hc.zip ) and I extract and I then get

1 x folder hc ( for example )

Then I open that folder above and there are 3 folders and 1 file

META-INF

system

updates

lazygit.sh

so I re-zip top folder into a new hc.zip with winrar / zip but it still aborts when I cwm

Am I missing a step / permissions or something ?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DistortedWisdom:
The best way to flash GSM Honeycomb at the time being is the following:

If your on Gingerbread (if you're on FroYo skip step one)

1- go back to a Froyo Stock ROM

2- Root

3- Make sure you dont have a locked boot loader. If you do use the boot loader patch

4- place (your own flashable .zip file of the newst HC FW) in your SD Card

5- Flash Overcome 2.1.6 Kernel

5- wait for the system to be converted to EXT4

6- Go into Recovery

7- install the file you placed in your SD card.

and to go back to gingerbread:-

1- flash the same FroYo stock FW

2- Root

3- Make sure you dont have a locked boot loader. If you do use the boot loader patch

(Stop here if you want Froyo)

4- follow the instructions of flashing the rom you want from the OP of the Rom your flashing.

Regards,
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kashortiexda:
Its step 4 I am stuck on.

I re-zip and then when I try flash in cwm it says installation aborted.

I followed all your other steps exactly.

What program are you using to re-zip the folder ? ( see my post 1 up from yours pls )
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DistortedWisdom:
Although i strongly suggest you don't try an Alpha build unless you're really experienced, I'll give you the easiest way.

1- find any flashable .zip file you have on you PC, double click it so you see the files. From now on ill call this file A.zip

2- Delete everything from A.zip but leave one file. Lets leave "META-INF"

3- double click the file you downloaded from repo. (the same way you did A.zip) from now on ill call it B.zip

4- select (System, Update and lazygit.sh) From B.zip and drag it to A.zip

5- Delete META_INF from A.zip

6- Drag META-INF from B.zip to A.zip

7- copy and paste B.zip to your tab's SD Card.

8- Flash.

I hope this wasn't very complicated to follow...

you, sir, are a genius.... thanks - enjoying HC sweetness on my Frotyo bootloaded GSM device :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cylent:
this is really the only way to actually use honeycomb on the gsm tab then and i am glad it works. it does however take an effort going back to overcome (mainly because its a 300mb file to download) then finding the overcome kernel then putting hc-2.5 on... the lockscreen works. the power button works and the sound works.

whats missing for me that i really care about are ::

ability to make phone calls

sd card mounting
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ipit:
May I ask you a question since you seem a lot more knowledgeable than me with this stuff. What do you mean by messing with bootloaders? I was on OC GB ROM and went back to stock Froyo by only flashing PIT/FROYO_STOCK/Modem and then flashed Kernel using ODIN. I Didn't specifically do anything with the bootloader.

What I did above flash my bootloader to Froyo as well ? or did I miss some step? I genuinely want to learn but people keep saying it's 'tricky' flashing bootloaders and unless I've missed something I don't understand why it's tricky.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] 3ph15t:
Sorry for my stupid question, but isn't there something like an autorun feature? Android is Linux and Linux has it's autorun Feature.

Sorry if I'm wrong, but in this case I would fix the SD Mount with this command "mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/sdcard/" in autorun.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ssserpentine:

I understand - but I want to install as soon as its available. Also I want to to prepared and want to understand the process so that I don't brick my TAB. I am relatively experienced with rooting & installing custom roms so I would like to understand how to do following

1) Root: I believe we should use this => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=885734 or this => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=812367

2) Return to AT&T stock: I have not been able to figure out this one. Should I use Roto prerooted firmware? => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894763

3) How to install CWM: I believe we need to install JMK stock safe ROM from overcome guide using ODIN and then install Overcome kernel. Pages 6-13 of overcome guide.

Gurus: As you can see I have tried to do the legwork. Someone please confirm/correct this.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ssserpentine:

Help Please

:confused:Hi cdma user's my question is everytime I boot into Spacemoose CMW it always dose a backup of my system. Why is this? this also is the new HC 2.5 update. Also when I flash this file via CMW it wont go pass Samsung Boot screen. What am I doing wrong I was using her HC Alpha build and was updating for the sound and other fixes.

Please anyone that had this problem and know of a fix please let me know what i'm doing wrong thanks a ton in advance everyone.

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Sarsippius:
I think 'risky' is probably more correct than 'tricky'. Flashing the bootloader isn't harder to do it's just that if something goes wrong it's about the only thing that will hard brick a tab.

Most roms for the tab don't include a bootloader because most of the time it's not needed and it introduces that extra risk.

For the honeycomb sgs port screen rotation is working. I'm not sure what else but I'm assuming something can help with enhancing our port.

They have gps and data working! I think the best thing about it is the simple install, it installs like cm7.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
After taking a look through the info you have, I'd say it looks good. Quick thoughts though (and someone correct me if I'm wrong, since I'm obviously not familiar with GSM);

1) You shouldn't need Kies to run Super One Click. It was a pretty straightforward process for me, and I did it without Kies.

2) Not familiar with roto's work at all, since I've always had a stock recovery in cwm (that's just me though), but I hear his work is top notch.

3) The kernel that Space provided has cwm on it. I flashed the kernel via Heimdall, and then went into recovery to flash the rom, make backups, etc.

*one thing I noticed was that nowhere in any of your links does the OP state HOW to get into download mode. It may be assumed that everyone knows, but, just for clarification, you hold power + volume down until the screen appears. So far, your information looks solid, but try to get feedback from a GSM tab owner, since they'll know more about the specific process needed.

Isn't T-Mobile on GSM? If you are on GSM, and have flashed the composite (ie. unofficial) build or a CDMA build not meant for your device, then I'm not sure how much help we can be... Give more specifics; GSM or CDMA device, how you flashed... stuff like that. It may help us help you.

Check the OP. First post, first page, gives you updates on builds as they are released or how progress is going. If you check that, you'll find out there is NO build yet for GSM. It's been pushed back, due to complications, but it is being worked on.

after you made a backup, in CWM wipe data and cache. Then install spacemoose hc zip and reboot. I'm not sure why it backs it up before going into CWM initially but mine also does it (sprint tab). I also forgot to wipe the data and cache and it got stuck on the samsung screen. once I redid it and wiped both, installed the zip it booted up fine. know that sometimes it does take some initially to boot into HC so be patient.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
Hmmm...weird. How does the launcher act after you hit the force close button? Does it act normally, or are you stuck in a force close loop of some kind? Also, what's the issue with the gallery? Mine works just fine, and has since alpha 2. My issues are mainly related to Flash... I have 3.0 installed, and still can't play Flash video of any kind. :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] inkdaddy66:
i love this rom. simply gorgeous and runs nicely. brings new life to a device that was once thought to be outdated. i have a few questions... when i try to create a nandroid... it just doesnt happen. then when i try to reboot, the rom wont load. The screen backlight is on but nobody is home.

last but not least...where is gmail? is it available on this build? if anyone has an answer i would appreciate it. other than that i'll just try and track down the apk:D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TCstr8:
Launcher seems to work fine after the initial FC. Not going to worry about it for the time being. The Gallery has always FC'd on me after a reboot (since Alpha 2). I've seen quite a few people mention the same thing. It functions fine, after that initial FC. Just ghosts in the machine probably.

Same thing with flash videos. I got some videos to play via SPB TV, but video was extremely choppy, audio was fine though.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TCstr8:
Anyone else notice that the usable area on the screen (for widgets, etc.) seems to be off? Would be nice to be able to adjust the number of columns/rows that were usable so you could line widgets right next to each other. As it stands there is about an inch on each side (left/right) of unusable surface. Guess I could use ADW or VTL or ADW.

Just thinking out loud.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] {Diemex}:
Hit the wrong button. A extra thanks is probably always welcome ;).

I installed it from the source, played with it for a while then restocked and went back to OverCome. I just couldn't find any HC specific apps, there was no specific section, neither on the tablet market nor on the web market...

Continue your great work spacemoose, when everything is working I'll try again, but first Google has to get its market in order.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
Try this. It's the gmail.apk from the SGT 10.1 dump. I'm using it with no issues on my VZW Tab. As for the nan-backup, I haven't made one yet; I did one of alpha 2 before I flashed 2.5 last night, but I haven't gotten around to making a current one. I'll check it out after Dungeon Defenders finishes downloading, and let you know. :p

Oh no sorry my Cell Phone is a T-mobile, My Tab is a Sprint CDMA Tablet I already had the orginal Alpha build at one point!

But now it won't boot pass the Samsung Screen when I Flash the New 2.5 Build via CMW!

Do I do a Update Via CMW after the Alpha 2 is installed ? Or can I just install from zip on sd card?

The reason I say this is because I had to reinstall back to stock, then reroot the tab.

I then reinstall Voodoo kernal with cmw.

Now I'm with root and CMW via VooDoo, do i have to install Alpha 2 HC , then go back into CMW via spacemoose kernal then do a update too 2.5 ? or can I just install 2.5 via Voodoo CMW and go straight to HC 2.5 Alpha build?

Any help is greatly apprciated thanks again
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
You should be able to just do an Install zip from SD card flash and be good to go. I came from the KhasMek build as well. You probably didn't need to reinstall voodoo though; Space said that her kernel gives you a working cwm and ext4 partition, so you could have just flashed the kernel via Heimdall, and then flashed the alpha 2.5 in cwm... no big deal though. And I would assume that you'd just flash the current build. No need to flash 2.0 first; GSM owners don't even have a 2.0 build, so their first flash will be either 2.5 or 3.0, so you should be all good with just flashing 2.5. :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] chris49424:
ok awesome and thanks for the prompt reply brother. Another question if you don't mind when you load up the 2.5 CMW by power & up dose you tab begin to backup your system files?

Everytime I went into CMW after I flashed the 2.5 update it would start doing a back up of my system files.

Then the Tab would not boot pass the Samsung logo. So I figured I had a bad flash and possibly semi bricked it.

So what I ended up doing was just trying to reinstall HC alpha build 2 but once again it would not go pass the Samsung Logo.....

Which APK? The one from the 10.1 dump? Or are you getting it from the market? Checked the market on my PC and it says that it is Incompatible with the "Unknown Galaxy Tab".
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
I haven't had any weird backup issues... if I do, I'll just go into Root Explorer and delete the ones I haven't made myself. As for the boot-up issues, I haven't had those either. No hangs, no reboots, nothing. I did a backup before flashing 2.5, and then wiped data and cache (but NOT dalvik), and then rebooted. The whole process took about 7 minutes, but after that I've been golden.

And guys, I can post the gmail.apk from the Xoom, but it may be redundant, because it's virtually the same thing. It's not really device specific, it's just a Honeycomb specific app. I can get Music Beta to "work", but the only view that is any good is the Songs view. I don't have the carousel view in the Recently added window (but it's there on my Droid), just a blank screen, and it's the same on every other screen. I don't play music from the Tab that often, but I'd still like to see it in action... :confused:
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] killerb777:
I noticed a few apps don't show in the market but work fine. (usa today -although the widget is a little glitchy, pulse -works fine)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
Guys, I have a thread, specifically to outline the apps that I've tested, and have confirmed working for Space's build, and more will be added if necessary. Check it out if you want (I think you'll like it). Some of the apps can now be found in the market, but I haven't checked for all of them. If I find that all of them can, in fact, be found in the market, I'll simply pull the Dropbox links and replace them with market links. Just wanted to throw that out, so we don't end up cluttering up a Dev thread with app requests etc. :)

Ok so now I'm making it to where it wants me to set the language and wifi on HC. Then it freezes up there. My original problem was it would go straight to the home screen and freeze up like I had already set HC up about 10-15 seconds after boot. Does anyone have any clue why it is freezing up or has ran into this and fixed it? I'm really getting upset with it because I'm doing the install perfectly.

Found a Google Music APK floating around that ended up working. Attached it to this post incase anyone else is looking for it.

Update: Looks like it isn't syncing. No option to sync music under Sync Settings/Google account. Going to try installing Gmail and rebooting.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
Is it a true freeze (ie, you have to reboot and on-screen buttons don't work), or are you just stuck with the keyboard not coming up? If that's the case, hit the "Skip" button when it asks for the wifi password (because for some reason, the keyboard button won't show up on that screen), then, if you make it to the Google login screen, hit the menu button (top right corner), and the keyboard icon should come up at the bottom. Now you can access the keyboard, and enter Google credentials. It won't sign in (obviously), because wifi isn't set up yet, but it will give you the option to go back and input the password, and now that the keyboard works, the rest of the process should be a breeze. :D

If the system is just locking up, then that may require someone with a bit more technical prowess than I have. Hopefully this helps though...
