The Status of HC on GT 7"

Hi,

I just want to say thanks for keeping our honey comb dreams alive. I hope the donations I sent Dan helped. And I hope to send some your way as this project progresses.

For what ever its worth getting audio working is kick ass ;)

Will check back in 30 days to see how things are doing.

Glad someone is still working on this. I love my little tab 7 and I want her to get HC. So happy to wait.

Thanks for the great work and keep it up.

Xtreame

Thanks for your efforts and patience. :) I respect your choice to focus on Cyanogen and hope you wrap it up soon.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
now thats very interesting. im curious if your tab still shows up in odin when you go into DL mode. can you try that just to see if odin recognizes it and report back?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] invensmaster:
thanks for the tip it realy helped though iamstill getting fc with youtube any sugestions

thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] caldeio:
Video doesn't work afaik including youtube which i know doesn't work for me.

=======================

Also when you click on the clock and it brings up the menu in a column. click it again and it'll move to the highest notch on the column. Everything under it does not work or show up for me.

Like have it in the highest notch. click right above the dock bar in the same column/menu, it'll take you into settings. It flashes for a brief second all the options as it loads :(, but only settings works for me.

=======================

I like it overall though, its a good layout for my tab. I wish I knew alittle more about this kernal making and what not. I couldn't find anything online about it. I'd like to start a porting project but i have no idea where to start. lol

This flashing thing, is easy though compared to psp stuff. :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Githrog:
The problem with all these things are that this is not a "port" yet as the entire source code has not been released, but a small portion has been released for the sdk and the developer has to create the rest on their own, I have been attempting to install the android sdk for days but for some reason the installer won't recognize that I have the jdk installed so Im stuck. Any tips on how to get around this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced

Ran into a similar problem on Ubuntu 11. Had to remove the bundled iceT jdk, don't quote me on the name of that jdk, before I could install the Sun jdk...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
Well technically if we had the source it wouldn't be a "port" at all. You "port" something when you take it from one device and use it on another.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Githrog:
I understand that and I believe you are correct, but the thing is in my understanding is that even with the entire source code, the code is not released for every device, so the developer has to port the os code for the specific device that they are developing for, which is why there are so many individual device forums, because the software will only work with the device it was created for. Is this correct? I am not sure if this is how the source code works, this is just what I thought. If I am incorrect please correct me. I am still just learning about everything in the droid dev world so I am thankful when some one helps me with my questions or with my responses to other posts. I'm a noob lol, but I consider myself intelligent so I catch on to things pretty quickly, which is also why I am jacked that I can't get the sdk to recognize the jdk 7 on my pc. Any help on that matter would be appreciated. It tells me that the jre isn't enough for development but the whole jdk package is on my pc.

Thanks in advanced,

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jtwebfusion:
Githrog: Is the jdk defined before the jre in your path environment variable?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Githrog:
Not sure, ill have to check, I downloaded the android sdk, I opened it and it informed me that I needed the jdk, so I went to the link it gave me and I downloaded the jdk 7 package, I installed it and restarted my pc, when it booted back up I ran the sdk installer again and that is when it said that the jre wasn't enough for development and it links me to the same site to download the jdk 7 package, that's as far as I can get.

Update: ok so I completely removed the jre from my pc and all that remains installed is the jdk 7 suite/package and the sdk installer is giving me the same message, the jre is not enough for development, and the link to download jdk 7.

I will be moving this post because I have fallen off topic from this thread and I do not want to clutter with posts that should be in the Q&A section.

Thank you

I had the exact same problem. I had to create an account on the oracle website. Once I had the window open in my browser and was logged in to my account, SDK recognized that I indeed did have JDK 7 installed.

Amen! There are TONS of GSM ROMS for Galaxy Tab, seems like a waste of time people bugging you with GSM ? 's :-)

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tkdboi:
i love you.

EDIT: this is very impressive. My only wish is the landscape orientation worked :/
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Githrog:
If you are talking about oldmacnut's remix of spacemoose's alpha HC Rom then no it will not work with gsm tabs only cdma. If you want HC on your gsm tab you'll have to flash the 2.5 alpha for gsm. But sd card support is missing and there's no flash support either along with a good bit of other things not working as well.

Pardon my asking, omc, its out of deep concern really, but what happened to you that busted your arm and back? I've been reading where you complain of pain in your arms and back. Just felt concerned and to offer my sincerest get-well-soon wishes.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] oldmacnut:
i was hurt at work

L1 to L5 disc damage, broken vertebre

severe tenon, nerve, and jointdamage in both arms.

i do my best to cope with it
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mweich:
I totally appreciate the work oldmacnut. I just downloaded, converted to ext4 but I'm getting installation aborted, bad file.

Am I doing something wrong?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] areayetee:
I thought it was just me - i've got the same error i tried downloading it on a couple different devices thinking i was doing something wrong too.

- could just be a bad file, a I crossed and a T dotted, or something weird with the server.

No biggie, - Thanks For the Effort oldmacnut, your hard work is appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ezeuba:
OMC, thanks for this ROM. It seems the uploaded file is corrupt. I downloaded it fully, it came to 90.48MB but like I always do with all zip files downloaded, I try to unzip first. If it unzips, then the file is ok. This one does not unzip so I guess it is corrupt. Please check. Thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] junjlo:
same as ^. of course did rfs to ext first as well just incase u were wondering :D

* also get this with cm7 but not mui
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Infected!:
Bad.zip :) pls upload again..!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Oldmacnut, you are the greatest! I am about to flash this ROM and I'll let you know how this goes.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jtwebfusion:
@Oldmacnut: Any chance you could include an md5 with that new zip file?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] x4gvnferdy:
Itching to try this, but as other's before me have stated, the zip file is incomplete or corrupt. Winrar gave me badfile message on completion of download.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
Same issue as others, Jim…the ROM zip is bad apparently. I'll reflash and give some feedback once the file is updated. Great to see you continuing Dan's fantastic work! :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] chetermaat:
Flash it

Want me to flash it on my SGT TAB (GSM) and chekc to see if 3G calls is possible on it. ???
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] -Howard-:
It wouldnt even boot on your gsm tab
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
+1 this is a CDMA only build… if you want to avoid having a very expensive paperweight on your hands, I would advise against attempting to flash this. And unless I'm mistaken, the 3G wasn't designed to make calls on…it's simply 3G data connectivity. If you want a GSM build, I believe someone has posted a link to Dan's 2.5 Alpha build. There's no 3G, but it will show you what Honeycomb is all about. :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] surheeho:
Zip is corrupt, what a tease :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] oldmacnut:
OK, see this.....is why I offered heimdall flashable roms.

Not home, should be in a few hours, on my way back from fort worth. Ill get a heimdall flashable version of what's running on my tab, and....ill upload from a wired computer vs wireless.

Sorry. Ill get it posted.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jtwebfusion:
A heimdall version works for me. Thank you very much.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mweich:
Awesome. You're the best.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] devilng:
hi, guys. I'm sorry for my incompetence but can anybody say me if there is a development for gsm tab? I'm looking for it but can't find. is it stopped?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] junjlo:
"GSM??? Let me make this clear right now.....

I DO NOT OWN A GSM TABLET.

I Will trade one of my cdma tablets for a GSM model, "

^ is from original post this is atm CDMA exclusively until oldmacnut gets a donated or traded gms tablet

Now for other GSM Development please do search for the HC but i think its dead in the water atm.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1122959&highlight=GSM+Honeycomb <--think thats really the end of the line as of now for GSM

I hope everyone does Old a favor and at least be courteous enough to read everything he wrote in the OP don't want to see development shut down because people cant read.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] teacher1960:
Let's face it guys, whatever we do or oldmacnut does, roughly three times a day, some noob who would't read the op even if you tattoed to his/her forehead, is going to ask for

gsm version,

the link to the gsm version,

or if he/she can put this cdma rom on his/her gsm tablet.

Let's just tell them in as few words as possible that this doesn't exist for the moment, and "no, you'll most likely brick your system, and please read op.

There are actually people who think that I with my SG Tab am jealous of their ipads. Moahaha!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] junjlo:
My bad I do tend to over explaine stuff so here GSM bad cdma good
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
Now dont you just feel like a complete idiot?

Common sense dictates you read the fricking OP before asking questions.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] devilng:
offtopic

1)I'm newbie in android at all

2)I'm sorry but my bad english doesn't give me a chance to understand a half of written above so asking questions is not a crime.(or not?) (google translate is really bad software)

There just must be a way to let someone know they didn't follow protocol without being so brutal. We are a community. I might be alone with this perspective, but we should be more patient and kind.

It is extremly important for everyone to search and use their heads before posting.

That was my point exactly, let's just be polite and patient but short so we don't fill the thread with rants.

Is this ok to flash? Ive been reading that it has a corrupt .zip. I clicked download and its downloading 111mb.

Has anyone been able to flash this? If so how is it?

Thanks Oldmacnut, appreciate everything you do. Without you us CDMA users would have nothing

sorry to hear **** came up old thank you for all your hard work and dedication.

hope your future endeavors go well.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
So we can no longer expect CDMA updates from you? We're so close from the release of the Ice Cream sandwich source code and our only developer is leaving us. :-(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] junjlo:
not necessarily if for example someone were to donate a tablet to him he would still beadle to work on development Or even send him a few donations threw paypal to help with the at home issues.

Installed no issues untill hit Welcome screen can chose a language but start button doesnt work
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nuggyunlimited:
I'm sorry to hear that man does that mean you don't need the 3g Verizon tab anymore?

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mweich:
Got it into airplane mode, which go rid of the fc's. Does that mean 3g won't work? Oh well, I appreciate all the effort oldmacnut.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] oldmacnut:
Pardon my obvious frustration here....

I flashed my spare vzw tab with exactly this zip, created the instructions based on how I got it to work, and I am using it right now.

YouTube works, wifi, all sorts of stuff works.

Why, why WHY??? can nobody else seem to get this specific rom to install?.

Things to consider.

I installed with a freshly formatted nothing but the rom on it SD card.

Used the ext4 converter

Installed rom

Booted, and enjoyed, still am. Well, also tweaking the build right now to.

But it worked.

I broke USB on my tab, so i can't pull a roto to give a heimdall version, plus its late, I'm tired, obviously crabby (not at you guys) and right now, wishing I could just trade all 3 tabs, cases, docks, covers, etc for a stupid A500 and just.....I dunno, use a tab, instead of worrying so damn much.

Bleh. ****ty weekend. Trust me, man this was an epic craptastic weekend. Epic.

Problem #1. I have 712gb of android development hotness I'd love to share, instructions, commands, source, backups, 700 variations of say....1 kind of build, almost every honeycomb, froyo, gingerbread, and cupcake rom ever made, plus the aosp, that source, practically the entire github website, yet.....no way to share it, to much to upload.

You know I have 37 builds of this honeycomb?, 40 of cm7, probably 100+ of my better than life roms, Samsung sources, list goes on.....

I'm going to lay in bed, watch me some counte of monte cristo, relax.

3 tabs, all vzw, 5 solid wood custom made docks, 1 hard clear case, 1 rubber, 1 leather book like case, all cords, universal car mount, box, all for an Acer a500.

I'm serious.

Oh, and you provide a TB drive, ill fill it up with EVERYTHING. even those hard to find roms and kernels. Like all 3 of boushh's roms, all 5 of his voodoo kernels, list goes on.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Hey guys,

I tried installing this ROM via CWM 5 and I used the ext4 conversion along with the ROM and I am stuck at the Samsung boot screen. Solution please? Thanks.

Sincerely,

iJunaid
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jtwebfusion:
WOW!

HC on my VZW Tab. This is so awesome. It ran quite smoothly for me. I was able to get wifi working, but when I selected the mobile network, it FC'd. After switching off the physical keyboard, I was able to log into the Market and download apps. Youtube would not work or download for me.

Since this is my daily driver, I've gone back to BTL V1.

@Oldmacnut: Thanks for all you hard work. I've donated to your cause, but I understand your going through tough times. I just wanted to again say Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speedysilwady:
I was wondering if maybe its not fully uploaded because I believe you said it was supposed to be 164mb but the uploaded file is 156mb? I am going to attempt flashing on a fresh sdcard and see if I can get it to work for me and I will try to be helpful as I can with reporting things
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] junjlo:
tryed following word for word with fresh sd card still stuck at welcome
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speedysilwady:
Was previously on oldmacnuts original honeycomb with the audio fix, I formatted my sd card, wiped data twice wiped cache twice, wiped dalvik cache, then i flashed the ext4 converter then the honeycomb rom right on top of it rebooted, got stuck on welcome screen with many force closes from the android keyboard. I managed to bypass the welcome screen by tapping each corner of the screen by going from the top left to top right to bottom right to bottom left while the screen was in landscape (like someone above me posted). Still getting android keyboard force closes, will make a flashable zip from the old keyboard or try switching keyboards and see if that gets rid of the force closes

EDIT: Apparently there is only Japanese IME and another IME titled in an oriental language that shows up under settings. Was gonna flash the keyboard from a previous build till I realized its on my old laptop which was formatted...doh! ill go look for another one online

EDIT 2: Apparently choosing either of those gets rid of the force close so I guess all you have to do is find an alternate keyboard in the market or if i find a stock honeycomb keyboard ill make a flashable zip for you guys

EDIT 3: SDCARD mounting is FIXED in this build! And is it just me or is the Gallery FC gone now? Very neat! I cant test 3G because I dont have service on this device, I only use Wi-Fi. Youtube app still crashes, Mobile YouTube on LQ works fine, HQ plays for a second then errors out. I tried the stock launcher for a little while but it was laggy and it hung up like the other builds so I switched to ADW EX Launcher and its buttery smooth now. Flash Player still isnt working yet. I think all the other bugs in my thread are still in this build, but the sdcard mounting is def a major breakthrough in my book! Keep it up oldmacnut, Ill try to update my thread with more info and workarounds for the little things in the mean time. I think there is a modified youtube app that works on this build, and I think the gingerbread youtube app might work as well, not sure though gotta keep looking.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] iliveinabucket:
The strange thing with me is while I was using OldMacNut's alpha Honeycomb build, my SD card mounted just fine, and the Gallery never force closed on me. Audio worked too, and the web browser loads a lot faster on Honeycomb then on Gingerbread.

The issue I had that others did not is that I keep randomly disconnecting from the wi-fi internet. It still says connected to my network but pages sometimes stopped loading. Is it because I was using a static IP?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sklobopes:
i got the keyboard working by first going to the google search bar, then looking at the lower right hand of the screen by the clock, there is a tiny keyboard icon....click on it and theres an option to *TURN OFF use physical keyboard*.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speedysilwady:
I remember the 2.5 version spacemoose released had sdcard working but i think it broke on oldmacnuts version with audio fix but it works now in this version. Gallery didnt FC when you went on it but occasionally it would randomly pop up with one on many tabs. Wi-fi works fine for me and always has on all builds, but most of the bugs i pointed out were on a lot of other peoples tabs as well, but maybe theres a difference betweeen how the Verizon and Sprint Tabs handle the rom.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jami2976:
I would try to get into recovery and do a full wipe and see if it will boot...if it sticks at the logo you will probably have do a heimdall flash back to stock and re root assuming that you converted to ext-4
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] newtonfb:
No 3g for me. Got wifi to work.

Like the previous person said....Old said he was uploading 164mb and we only downloaded 156mb. Maybe were missing some files?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] xXJay_RXx:
Oldmacnot, i am new to the tab rooting scene. I have a rooted Nexus One and a rooted HTC Thunderbolt and I was curious about rooting my Tab and this ROM is the reason I did. I am sincerely sorry for whatever you are going through. I hope everything for you settles out and get back on your feet. You got the support from the people in the community. I hope all goes well for you buddy
