CwM has it really been removed ?

DarkPal,

I believe that there is an issue that must first be cleared up concerning Cwm.

When people say that CwM has been removed, do people mean

2 : The Icon/Application shortcut is no longer available BUT the option Recovery is available when they do a long press on the Power button .

or

1 : The Icon/Application shortcut is no longer available AND the option Recovery is NOT available when they do a long press on the Power button.

I get the feeling that for many it is just the application icon that has disappeared and they have not realised that the recovery option is available in the power off menu.

I could be wrong about my assumptions though ...

[No offence to anyone if I have mistaken their issue with CwM]

Cheers Roy
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
LoL no if you mean CF CWM manager that comes with his kernel those are sent into oblivion when you flash overcome and everyone should know that. They're not even compatible with overcome kernel.

What I mean is that a small fraction of users lose CLOCKWORKMOD recovery (from power menu that is or button combo or adb) and for some reason are reverted back to the pretty much useless samsung recovery.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Roy_W:
It's just to make sure that Alterbridge doesn't get inundated with PM for the wrong subject. I imagine that most people would rather have him working on the ROM rather than replying to PM.s lol.

Wow, ab86 back in work again. Kernel 3.1.1. This guy is perfectionist.

The CWM Manager (the App) does work on the actual overcome Kernel, I have installed honeybread theme with it, made a backup, ...

The Tweak Manager doesn't work, it needs CF Kernel.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Darkgage:
Can anybody let me know if there are still compatibility issues with Gingerbread and gameloft games?! Has this been resolved? Thank you
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Nova still doesn't work, if that's what you're enquiring about
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Magaboo:
Hi Alterbridge & Team members.

Just had to to chime in and thank you guys for this near perfect FW.

I've updated to Hermes (no wipe) from Gold and have absolutely no problems to report. Everything runs fast and smooth. Not sure how this FW could be improved, but I'm sure that you guys will manage somehow :p.

Again, many thanks.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Roy_W:
Doesn't work after all

UPDATE:

I have now done the Home->Office->Home trip and unfortunately I am back to square one. When I arrived home this evening, did not switch Wifi off after leaving office, the SSID list that was displayed in the setting was the same as the list in my office location, the list did not automatically update to my home location.

Therefore the tab did not automatically connect to my home network: Solution, switch off/on Wifi and SSID list updated, connection made very quickly thereafter.

The changes made to the build.prop have not actually made a difference.

Does anyone know or have the means to determine if the list of scanned SSIDs are cached anywhere. It would be interesting to delete the cache periodically in order that the list is rebuilt correctly. I presume that the cache is deleted after changing the Wifi state, hence the reason everything works afterwards.

What seems to be needed is some kind of "wlan SSID /release_now"
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Yom:
It did not seem to do the trick for me. I got to the office this morning and the tab still showed my scientist-named home WLANs...

Gameloft Games

Nova and Asphalt 5 would not play from me on Overcome Hermes, but I was able to play Heroes of Sparta.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] XQuilet:
i have a question does any of you encounter that u go to mobile youtube(Browser) u are unable to play video it say "this video cannot be played"

and also if any of you encounter while playing video from movie site or animation site the movie or animation will go jerking(Browser)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Darkgage:
Thank you. No, I am not concerned with just Nova, but the entirety of the Gameloft library. Fast Five, Sacred Odyssey, Spiderman etc. Has anyone compiled a list already? I have bought all these games and have yet to play them yet but I'm about to be done with school so I wanted to get started...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Darkgage:
Thanks for the feedback dxwilliams!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] slimdizzy:
For me Asphalt 5, Dungeon hunter 1 and Eternal Dynasty (or whatever its called) works and Lets Golf, Lets Golf 2 HD, Asphalt 6 do not. Thats all I wasted my money on before giving up.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Xerfas:
Works great. Quadrant is about 2450ish instead of 2350ish. Movies play well as before.

Thanks for a nice rom.

I was wrong, I got 3000ish. Kinda wish that stuff mattered.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gwbard:
Although it may work, it is

strongly advised

not to use it. Better to use the included recovery version -- always.

+1 it may work but then it might cause all sorts of Issues mostly FC heaven and system instability.

Guys after installing this update i cant change the usb mode eg i cant select kies! any sollution?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kongark:
Errm.. A.C. CLARKE?

Anyway, 2 upgrades may be necessary, 1 for kernel and 1 for ROM.

Bettet increase LCD voltage to 2.6 and let the os does more aggressive wifi search. Better put a dhcp cleaner in init.

Best rom and kernel ever.

Regards

Kongar
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jutley:
Yea restock and reinstall again
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DistortedWisdom:
the only issues i can tell are related to 32GB P1000

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] EyeTech:
Why is flash so bad?

Any idea why flash videos don't play well on Overcome (via any browser)? They often display 'this video is not optimized for mobile' and proceed to play very very choppy. Overclocking to 1.4 makes no difference.

My HD2 (CM7), underclocked to approx 0.9 plays the same flash videos butter smooth, and the text about not being optimised don't appear.

Is there something I need to tweek or install or do we all have really crappy flash video playback in the browsers (tried stock, miren, dolphin mini and hd)?

Thanks for any advice.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] naivri:
creamed my pants when i saw how much faster than stock gold was

yet this rom a mere couple of weeks later is faster still

excellent work guys, keep up the amazing job you are doing
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Darkgage:
Argh that sucks. I really wish that there weren't these compatibilty issues with the different versions of Android. We get shafted on games as it is, I don't want to further penalized just for updating the device. I love the Lets Golf series and play it all the time. I guess no gingerbread for me...thanks for your response!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Yom:
Well, as awesome a giant as Mr. Clarke was, he was not a scientist, per se... he was more of a scientific-minded inventor and writer than a pure scientist.

My WLANs are:

CarlSagan (of course) - N 5GHz RADIUS authenticated

IsaacNewton (most important scientist in the history of humanity, period. Even more seminal than Einstein) - N 5GHz WPA2 PSK

StephenHawking - G 2.4GHz WPA2 PSK

And they all showed as broadcasting this morning... here at the office :P Even after the build.prop hack...

Safe v3 gingerbread with odin
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
Eyetech edit the two following lines in build.prop in /system

Media.stagefright.enable-http=true (original value is false).

Media.stagefright.enable-rtsp=true (original value false).

That should fix choppiness in online videos.

SGT Hermes vs Playbook and Flyer

Did a quick comparison using www.guardian.co.uk website in Carphone Warehouse today.

Tab with Overcome Hermes stock browser was noticeably smoother than RIM Playbook and HTC Flyer which both stuttered scrolling from top to bottom. Hermes was silky smooth.

Thanks and donation given.

Thanks to the Overcome team.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DistortedWisdom:
Quadrant results does not reflect reality :)

the thing is Lagfixes improves the I/O, which needs a little fixing on samsung softwares because of them using RFS and what the lagfixes does is change RFS to ext2, ext3 or ext4 :)

basically you need a certain improvement and anything above that level showes extra points in Quadrant but doesn't really do anything in terms of performance.

I remember back on froyo using Overcome kernel 2.1.6 Ocing to 1.4GHz MAX and MIN and set on performance :)

and using OCLF it gave me 3000+ points, but performance wise it was much better with Voodoo lagfix while it gave me around 2000+ range on Quadrant.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Alvin Lai:
Is spare parts, windows animation problem. Once set to normal speed, then screen off animation come back. Anyways thank you so much.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] wakady:
Overcome team...

i'll try to sum up the diagnostic for CWM Recovery from my own prospective and the little i've read..

1- CWM recovery doesn't load from the (Power Button combination) and no icon what so ever after installing the stock v3, only Android recovery and can't read SD internal memory, nor external for sure.

2- all other stock roms from overcome boot into CWM recovery.

3- when i try no wipe version on stock v2 after putting gold on it i lose CWM recovery again.

4- to try hermes i hard to flash the CF v3.3 to get CWM recovery to flash hermes on stock v3

5- not sure but i guess this affects people with 32 GB GTab !!! not confirmed though

6- is it normal that after each flash i get SD internal memory unavailable and having to format it !!! this happens to me with all overcome...not sure if its a flash routine thingi or what !!

Conclusion:

The issue is related to the current stock rom and hermes wipe/no-wipe but it wasn't there in the last overcome roms...and might be 32GB Gtabs related only !!

i wish i've assisted by any means...i'm willing to help if u need a pic of the device after flashing hermes or stock v3 and if u need a log or so just ask and tell me how to snatch it :D

thx for ur time and effort team overcome :)

Hello,

I don't know if this has been posted before, search thread was broken at time of writing this.

I'm loving hermes, but having problem with some stuff.

I have black text on black background for notification. Is there a way to change the text colour?

What does the power off animation look like? mine just displays samsung animation, is there a way to enable other animation?

Thanks for the help in advance
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
Been running these UV settings ffor about 24hrs and seems smooth and stable so wanted to share... or brag? Heh. Might not work on your tab but its doing great things for mine. B-)

Just a wonderful kernel and ROM from AB86 and the team. Hermes is the biz-nez. Been super busy but its been keeping up and battery is un-freakin-believable! Lol took it off charge last night and its been hammered al morning, up @ 6 and non stop till now. Overnight with light usage and around 5 hours heavy use and 52 percent left..

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Alvin Lai:
@nobleskill

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I will try to duplicate your UV setting. Hope it work for me as well.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alterbridge86:
Yeah definitely seems to be something with the 32gb tabs only...which I didn't even know existed until today :P I'll take this offline with you to continue troubleshooting.

The black text on black background for notifications is generally related to specific apps. Rather than use the readily available system calls, certain app developers choose to hard code the color of the notification text into their apps resulting in the black on black :( Not much we can do about that unfortunately...

I believe you're confusing power off animation with screen-off animation ;) The power off animation is the one and only Samsung. The screen of animation is what looks like a CRT shutting off when you turn the screen off on the tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Alcibiade:
Not very important but... believe me or not, I had Quadrant @ 24xx overclocked at 1.4 Ghz on Gold + koxudaxi's kernel. On the latest Overcome (Hermes) I am strangely at 19xx. I tried several I/O and governors but scores are all around that are

I don't care so much about Quadrant, but I was wondering wether I am the only one. Again Quadrant doesn't matter, the tab is smooth, but it could hide some deeper problems on my install :(

Oh one thing I changed is the upgrade to the latest version of Voltage Control (No idea if it is related or not, but i doubt it is !)

I don't remember exactly but I think I was at 24xx as well on Gold

Reguarding Flash video cannot be played

Site : Mobile Youtube (Browser)

i have encounter the problem of video not being able to play it say "sorry, this video cannot be played"

done the following: uninstall flash using normal mode then reinstall, uninstall flash using titanium backup then reinstall, both the method dosen work

so could anyone kindly verified this problem only some of us encounter this problem or all of us are encountering this problem?

i can actually play video on crunchyroll.com and live.qq.com but it super crappy and jerky

Please do keep my post updated

i sincerely thanks in advance for anyone could assist me please ^-^

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jpanggy:
Thanks Alterbridge,

I did confuse the screen off and power off animation.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Donation coming soon
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alterbridge86:
The drop in score is likely due to the disabled stagefright in hermes (i disabled it because it caused more issues than it solved). Enabling it does tend to inflate quadrant scores :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Alcibiade:
Ehehe OK ! Thanks for the info :)

3D animations from Quadrant seemed slightly smoother actually

Anyway for my usage your Hermes is perfect ! Thanks again for the great job. Hopefully Samsung will come with 2.3.4 in not a too long time (even though I ma a little bit doubtful)

Overcome Team,

thank you so much for this nice update.

just update from Gold to Hermes using No wipe....no problem at all everything went smooth and even Recovery works fine.

only problem i am having is when it start Launcher pro and the tablet load then setcpu start, launcher pro freeze and have to restart launcher pro....

also i need to install the shutdown sound but no success...for my knowledge the file should be shutdown.ogg and stored in \System\Media\Audio\ui\

but no luck, permission are set correct but am not sure why when i reboot no sound.

i managed to get boot up sound to work fine...

if you can help with these two issues i will really appreciate it.

again the rom and the kernel feels very smooth and scrooling has improved a lot.

overall very very nice.

so thank you very much.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ryn888:

thinking about the famous WIFI issue

ok OVERCOME TEAM. well some post back i replied about the wifi problem which seems i am not the only one....

can changing the modem help... in the manual its says to use the jpz version if i am not mistaken. (i live in italy so let say europe),

well i was wondering if the jmf version that we used before could work with gingerbread.. well i can affort to brick so asking first before i try...

will the jmf modem work with gingerbread....could it solve wifi issues....

thanks for all the work guys...

This is a fantstic ROM, thanks to Alterbridge and everyone else who helped in the development and testing. I've been on stock until just a couple of weeks ago when i switched to Overcome 2.0, and just today, Overcome 2.0.1.

In both version everything worked very well without issues except for one slight concern. I never got my default camera app to work. Always got FCs on both ROMS. However, third party camera apps work. Is there something i can do to fix this?

One more thing, i also noticed that in 2.0 Gold, my phone app would also crash constantly every 5 secs and once it started in that FC cycle, did, i'd have to enter Flight Mode and reboot then leave Flight Mode again to get it working. So far, no such phone app issue on Hermes. Hope it stays that way.

I have a rather technical question:

is it possible to spoof the wifi's mac address?

I don't want to do anything illegal, the case is just that our admin (who authorizes devices by mac) is sick, and he can't add my tab. I want to use my cellphone's mac address (which is authorized) with my tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kay_kiat88:
I'm sorry to ask this question here but I googled "stagefright" and "what is stagefright" and of course the android website came back with:

"New media framework (Stagefright) that supports local file playback and HTTP progressive streaming"

I've also(of course) searched xda but nothing informative really came out. everyone is just asking whether to enable or disable it. so my questions are.. what exactly is stagefright? and what exactly does it do? hope AB can shed me some light.. perhaps provide an explanation which is noob-proof for noobs like me. i'd like to understand what it does instead of just toggling it true or false..

thanks.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ipit:
Did you ever try using the camera just after installing the ROM and BEFORE you tinkered around with it? The reason I ask is because it's a known issue that the camera will not work if the email.apk application is removed.

Other than that it's hard to say as I never experienced any camera issues.

Program settings problem

Can somebody comment on this situation: some programs (such as Refine Efficiency, AG Newspaper etc.) fail to enter settings screen - when "settings" button is pressed, settings screen appears and closes immediately returning to previous screen. Data cleaning and full reinstall of that programs seem to have no effect.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
Wait what? Haha missed the question maybe? Lol. Kay, I believe its got to do with priorities of system call and what happens first more or less. With stagefright on you are saying, do this first as a high priority. With it off your saying, nah look its not as important as working out the tcp/IP path to take so I get my emails... only use what you have left and ddo the other things first...

More or less that my lame(n)s understanding...

5 second count down for someone to tell us I'm wrong..... 5.... 4..... 3 ....

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kay_kiat88:
ahhh okay. priorities i see.. hmm but again.. how does this affect video play back? i tried playing movies (.avi) using mobo player but i don't get stuttering like everyone else. i don't use blade buddy and i didn't tinker with the build.prop.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
OK so there is core or hardware playback and software playback too.. different players do it differently but mobo is able to do both I think?

So with hardware acceleration off its all back to say ffmpeg or wahtever and the CPU. So no stagefright on media will mean more than likely the CPU won't keep up and you will get stuttteeerinng... B-) turn it on and you are saying nos ineeds me vids ... I dun care the email is getting missed... stuff telling Google where I am just focus on the vids! I needs em!! Lol

Clear as mud huh??

EDIT: the more detail I have to give the more chance your going to work out I'm talking out my...assssss lol. As you say though there very little to reference about this so that is more or less just logic and basic system understanding... I surrender the podium to someone more learned to teach us all
