So I went to bed with the stock roto rom (which is both good and bad, I suppose) after a failed attempt at a flash. I appear to be in the same boat as Ganj, and now the 9 hour work day has me by the balls.

Funny, I backed up what I needed off the internal SD, except my damned Nandroid backup. Figures. More testing to come at the end of work day (*cough cough, I certainly do feel something coming on cough cough*)

nice job

hello every one

i use a French galaxy tab GSM

i' ve tested your job, ans wonderfull it's working

flash correctly after the second time

so what's i've got :

honeycomb

Kernel 2.6.32.9

French language

battery charge is working when tab off, it seems not working when on

Interface honeycomb working correctly

WIFI not working

Sd card not seen

actually i'm trying Navigation but it seems it's not working

updates later

regards

cédric
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cedcoq:
correction

battery is charging also when TAB on

regards
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] btyork:
Just so we can get an idea of what people are doing to get it to run correctly, would you mind laying out your procedure? Did you follow the OP instructions or something different?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cedcoq:
i've tried to follow instructions, but first time it was not working

only samsung galaxy tab on screen and nothing else

i've booted in recovery mode on more time

my recovery had changed ( red print instead of orange ), so i wiped everything one more time, install kernel again, reboot recovery, install rom, and reboot system and galaxy tab screen, 1 mn after black screen, and 3 minutes after honeycomb

available for other tests

hope my englisk is understable by every one

regards

I didn't see them, but they're there
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cedcoq:
lot of applications installed are not working
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] btyork:
Your English is just fine, better than some who speak it natively.

So you flashed everything again (Kernel than Rom) from the new recovery (the red one) after a wipe?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cedcoq:
yes that what i've done, when i arrived on this red recovery, wiped everything one more time, installed kernel again, reboot recovery, and after install rom and reboot system
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Landroid:
I flashed it yesterday and want to report back:

working:

hw acceleration

touchscreen

not working:

gps

wifi

mobile data

sd card

open gl

keyboard (honeycomb keyboard)

most of the apps

so if you are not a dev DO NOT FLASH THIS! this is meant for devs who can fix the problems! i am trying to fix wifi and stuff but it seems that i dont get further so i will leave it and wait for spacemoose1 and dip to fix the things!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] btyork:
Thanks for updating us on you getting it working! Would you mind detailing what you did? I'm trying to compile the "best way" possible to get this flashed safely.

And yes, this build is mainly meant to A) Give us a small taste of Honeycomb and B) Give it to Devs to work on and fix.

Also edited OP for clarity on installation process.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DiP7:
keyboard work, simple use physical keyboard off
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] btyork:
I SEE GOOGLE! Did you get the wi-fi working?!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GANJDROID:
INTERNETZ?! Oooooh, is that wifi or mobile data? I'm guessing were getting an update soon?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] btyork:
Look at that stock signature there, so cute! :P

Glad you got your tab back up and running... now back to the flashing!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GANJDROID:
Hahaha, I know, it breaks my heart :p Have you recovered yours?

After countless attempts to get 3.0, I gave u and went back to Overcome. Ill try again if we get an update w/ wifi or mobile data. :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ssserpentine:
I was wondering if it is possible, since we 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.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GANJDROID:
The only issue with that is everything will run like $h|t.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ssserpentine:
Any way to make our tabs believe that it is running tegra 2 processors and include it in the honeycomb port? Figure if it could be done now is the time cause we are building from scratch.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] btyork:
Guys, take that elsewhere, it has nothing to do with the development of this rom.

Secondly, it appears as though the ROM comes with a kernel built in and then the kernel itself separately. I'm currently sitting at a orange clockwork screen v3.0.0.0 (flashed kernel and rebooted)

Flashing the rom and rebooting gets me to the red recovery...

Have tried flashing from both... still getting stuck at galaxy tab screen.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GANJDROID:
Sorry about that :p

Yeah, the red recovery would just reboot and ill be stuck at the Galaxy Tab screen, but the orange would get past that but it wouldn't actually boot. Seems strange that there are 2 seperate kernels and both produce very different results depending on flashing method.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] btyork:
Very weird indeed. I'm hoping DiP sees this in the morning, or evening, or whatever time it is in Russia when Russians see things on the interwebs. Then maybe he can explain it. Untill then, back to overcome! And then a nandroid backup on my EXTERNAL sd. :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] btyork:
Yeah, got it to stock roto last night, and am currently doing the same thing on my other laptop (after a second failed attempt to get this to flash) Tried so many variations of flashing... Flashed the red from the orange, orange from the red, red to red, orange to purple (?!?!) no, that's not right.... hehe

Got me a nice purdy blue CWM now (god I love the overcome rom)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GANJDROID:
Blue to red, to orange, to orange, to red, to blue, to red, left foot green. :p

Such a confusing mass of colours. But some people have found the magical combination of colours to make it work. Guessing/hoping there will be an update tomorrow as he posted a picture of Google :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Cal-El:
When I flashed the new update I still flashed the first kernel to get the recovery then flashed the full updated zip from that recovery. The red recovery is the voodoo lagfix recovery you will have that from the ext4 conversion. When I flashed the new update after flashing the first kernal to get the recovery it booted right up.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] btyork:
So the trick is the orange (v3.0) CWM... But it appears that the ROM itself is over-writing that kernel (possibly corrupting it) and I'm then forced to boot into the voodoo lagfix CWM. Seem reasonable?

What if I took the "kernel_update" file out of the ROM zip and flash? Any harm ya think?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Cal-El:
What I did is just flash the stand alone kernel first before anything, then reboot and just hold the volume up button it should boot into the CWM 3.0.0.0 then flash the ROM 0.2 zip and reboot. It worked for me the first time I did it. If that doesn't work the first time flash the recovery kernel again wipe data, cache and Dalvik ( will say cant mount, do it anyway) and then flash ROM 0.2 again. Just did it strait from Overcome 1.4.3 again and took the second time, except strangely enough no force closes at all this time. Weird.

It might be this order. Red recovery to orange recovery to Rom. If first boot fails the Red to Orange to Rom again. Keep trying until it takes. :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] scottprotege:
I have tried probably 15 times today to get this working and i finally swore it off..again. I just tried your method and same issue, only getting the galaxy tab screen. Do you mind telling me what the steps were before this? Here is what I just did to no avail

Started fresh with a clean format using p1 add hidden.pit and roto jmi v2 in odin. I then allowed it to power up, then turned off and back into download mode. Then I flashed the newest overcome kernel and allowed it to boot for ext4 conversion. I then powered down and into the overcome CWM to flash the honeycomb standalone kernel pkg. Rebooted directly into this new recovery and flashed the honeycomb zip. Rebooted. The device actually rebooted itself again right after showing the samsung logo screen then ended up hung at that screen the second time around. I was beginning to think there is something with the TMO tab but I am guessing thats the one you are using as well

At some point early this morning I had it boot once where it went past the samsung screen and onto the black screen, i think maybe i just did not wait long enough.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Cal-El:
Mine did the quick reboot thing the first time as well. I then held the power button until it powered off then booted into the red recovery, then flashed kernel again wiped data, cache, dalvik and flashed ROM. Worked that time.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Cal-El:
I noticed you have 3G data and the home buttons are in the bottom bar. Also there are options for your inputs that are not in the 0.2 version. Is that a new build? :)

Oh, and its charging. Nice.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] captain134:
I am gonna guess that the pic he posted is not a screenshot of his own but just and example photo to point out the keyboard button. I am going on the fact that he is Russian and that tab is set up for US english and that everything seems to be working. Just a guess though.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] captain134:
I have followed all of your directions without success. Everything happens exactly as you describe but I always get the galaxy tab boot screen. My question for you is do you get a glitch in the display when flashing the kernel? I do. I have a Bell GT-P1000M for the record.

Also does anyone have the kernal in TAR format? I thought there was one floating around.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Cal-El:
Yea, I kinda figured that as well, just wanted to be positive. Its a screen shot from the Motorola version. (That which shall not be named.) ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Cal-El:
If you mean the blue lines then yes I get that as well. How long do you let it sit at the Galaxy Tab screen? It will sit there for about two min then go black ( you can tell the screen is still on though.) then it will sit there for about two min before the bottom buttons lite up. When you see those lite up you are good to go.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] captain134:
Thanks for the reply. I usually let it sit at least 5 mins. I have never gotten the blank screen.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Cal-El:
Keep trying. Hold power button until its off then power and volume up into red recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik then flash recovery kernel from first post then then reboot into that recovery by selecting reboot and holding volume up, Flash Rom then reboot.(Not reboot recovery.) Repeat until it works. Keep in mind you need the zip files on your external SD card not internal.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] captain134:
I just rebooted the tab to recovery and got the orange recovery this time. I installed the kernel, did not reboot, wipe data, cache& dalvik, installed rom v2 and I am now in honeycomb! Thanks so much for everyones work and help! Also on boot I did not get any FC.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Cal-El:
Awesome man, very happy for you. Cant wait until its all working but nice to play around with until then. :)

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
Tried multiple times, via red recover and others, still no HC joy for me :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Cal-El:
You need to get the stand alone kernel from the first post and flash that from the red recovery in order to get the orange recovery. Then reboot into the orange recovery to flash the Rom. Thats the only way I have gotten it to work.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
Ditto!!

Just came here to say I finally have HC and saw your post :D

I can also confirm the only way Ive been able to get this to work is to go..

Orange > Red > Orange

Now to have a play about before going back to Overcome :D

The news everyne hhas been waiting for, Andy Rubin explaining the delay of Honeycomb source code :D

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/04/i-think-im-having-gene-amdahl-moment.html

Haven't read through it myself, but an extract from AndroidGuys said its mainly because they've been fixing bugs and for phone support. After these have been done, the source code is released.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
Have flashed back to Overcome rom but its saying I have a damaged internal sd card :(

Anybody know how to fix?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] KingDavid63:
I had to format mine said same thing.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] btyork:
Did you repartition with the hidden pit?

This will wipe your internal sd... But sounds like the issue
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Cal-El:
Yup. Thats what I had to do. It works though.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] noobporter:
Got it!

Wohoo I got it going. Took a couple times to go from red to orange and back to red but I finally got it. Last time I made sure to clear my dalvik cache and that seemed to do it. Now to get cracking on some internet for this sucker. The new browser looks awesome.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] noobporter:
Ok, so I'm new to the whole porting thing, but is there any reason we can't grab the old wifi and gsm modules from another kernel and just insmod them into the new kernel? The linux kernel should be generally the same for the two and be backwards compatible? thoughts?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ellokomen:
that's the idea :) , some changes needs to be done before to insmod the modules
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] -RioT-:
Don't worry this happened to me. I got all the files to fix it here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895827. Then I flashed back to my original set up and did a band restore.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] teacher1960:
Did anyone try Spacemoose's third build with the easier install yet?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DemonGloom:
That build is CDMA as far as i remember.. That will brick tab.. OR half-brick if you are lucky :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] teacher1960:
Sorry my bad, I thought the rom was the same but that you just had to use the russian gsm kernel
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bert269:
Thanks - that's helpful, but......

...Can you be more specific about WHICH file will result in WHICH color CWM.

Very confusing - when I look at the files on my SD, I see names, not COLORS...

(and yes, I have read through the whole forum)

Just trying to minimize confusion and when more try this out, maybe we'll get it working sooner.....(or not!)

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GANJDROID:

Yes, please make sure you back up... I edited the OP to put more focus on the fact the processes I have posted will wipe your internal SD. Inevitably, someone will still complain about it later.

Also, someone else complain about the lack of moderation on these forums, that way they open up registration and I can apply :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GANJDROID:
Obviously they will complain, its xda! :p

Still very tempted. Redoenloaded the files. Get Odin all up and running. Here we go!

I won't lie, I love you all! :D The directions in the first post worked. Not sure how long it took to boot, pressed reboot, went for a cig and by the time I was back it had booted and turned the screen off. Started to get worried as I didn't think it'd boot that quickly and that it wasn't glowing at all.

Now let's keep our fingers crossed DiP is actually continue to modify Spacemoose's source. *pray*
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GANJDROID:
It's good to play with, but I couldn't get anything to work. Root explorer seemed to be installed by default but I couldn't even load that.

It just shows that our Tabs are designed with Honeycomb in mind, but Samsung are too damn lazy to port it.

Already flashing back to Overcome. As amazing as it is, its not practical (yet) and as I'm constantly using data/WiFi for work etc.

Good to finally see what's in store for us though. :D

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] scottprotege:
I saw a post earlier where somebody asked about using the cdma port and that just the kernels were different. I can confirm that he is correct. I took the updated cdma build from spacemoose and moved all of the system files into a new zip that also contained the meta data and kernel update info from Dip's zip. It does boot. So it is safe to say that whatever changes spacemoose makes to the actual system build, we can use, but as far as drivers and everything else is concerned we will be at the mercy of Dips kernel.

At this point the build from spacemoose is better formatted from what i can tell. Still no software buttons in the lower left though, I am not sure where those will come from. The spacemoose build also has ALL of our capacitive touch buttons working as well.

I also did some playing around with pushing modified build.prop files through adb with my tab in recovery just to see if changing resolution and pixel density would help our gsm tabs display the bottom bar but nothing going. This sure is fun though.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] illdottore:
first attempt and it boot's ehehehe lucky me :D it still hangs a little bit and the no internet problem don't let this to be very useful for know bur its nice to see honeycombo booting in our tab :D

Keep the good work i can't help in the rom our kernel but i'll keep testing the updates hoping to see great developments.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] scottprotege:
As I am sure you have noticed the on screen home button does work, it just does not show up. I forgot to mention that with some of my build.prop editing I found a combination that allowed the use of all 3 lower left hand on screen buttons but they were all still invisible. I will go back and mess with it again to find the combination if anyone is interested. It gives quick access to the task manager, not that we need it though since we can't run any tasks.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] btyork:
DiP, do you have a download for your update? Or are you still working on it?

It's awesome that Spacemoose's port can be directly applied to this kernel, but like DiP said, he's also modifying his own ROM as well as the Kernel... Sounds like a race! :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] btyork:
AMG Link me a download! :P

I kid, I kid. Looks great! Keep up the hard work! Once WiFi gets working, I think it'll become easier to test.

3.0 with fully playable silent Cordy!!

I got it to boot! Now I am going to try out different apk's repackaged in the rom and try reflashing it to see if I can get any app to come pre installed on 3.0 and also see if any app will run.

*CORDY WORKS! It is completely playable with no sound and HD graphics. Saves your spot and to be honest plays much smoother than it did on a custom 2.2 ROM overclocked to 1.4ghz.

It is the newest version off of the market. I got a few more apps working after the pics were posted. Streamlining it right now.

*Will post a replacement clockwork mod zip when i get a few more apps working. It will only include apps that were free on the market. Should I try to get a new thread started? And I wanna make sure it is okay to repackage The Mans ROM. Please let me know.

*Also, it seems to charge just fine while on the lock screen. had it on and plugged in all night, was fully charged in the morning.

:) PLEASE HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HAVE HELPED!!!! :eek:
