[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] oldmacnut:
Update 10-5

To make steve jobs roll over in his grave, I give you CM7.

Now to make this perfectly clear.....

I did not compile the kernel.

As it is, I was NOT going to release this until I completed the kernel so that it said MY name in "about"

We clear?

JT1134 did the kernel. I updated my source to compile the same kernel. I built a more or less custom CM7 system, did my crazy thing to it, however I used one of MY systems I built on my machine.

I am saying this, because I dont like releasing **** that I feel I didnt make 100%. Alot of people are ok with this, I view it differently.

Its easy guys.

Flash using CWM.

Get CWM anyway you have to on the tab, Im going to say wipe everything first, mount system, flash the rom, then do a full wipe again, should boot. I myself had issues with initial boot up, but i realised system needed to be mounted.

3G along with everything else works.

Download BTL CM7 RIGHT HERE

Oh, the DPI is set to the 185 I like, sorry.

Changes Ill be making this week/weekend....

Adding the audio to boot animation

System UI tweaks

Kernel with MY name on it out of respect to JT1134

A second "stripped AOSP version.

Sorry it has been so long for this release, ive been running it myself for almost a week.

​

Update 9-26

Back on the game 100% right now.

I took a break as I was taking this project very personal, and that was lame.

I was having an issue with the build being stable, all based on the data partitions.

I am going to sync the latest material off the interwebs today, try a few new builds to release, I am hoping to get something out today, If the kids let me work enough.

I am going to reach out and help Boush, and JT with their build, and see if I can get help with mine, cause in the end, it's not a race, it's an open source community.

I am building one right now, so we will see how it goes, I am down to only 1 tab right now, and while it is the Sprint model, i caqnt test 3g till i get my verizon one back from samsung.

After I am done with CM7, I will probably sell 3 of the tabs off, and switch over to writing workflows.

I, am tired.

So, before I get to the dirty details everyone wants, the more important stuff up front.

Spacemoose.

A friend, my pal, my Yoda. None of this, hell none of my roms would be here if it wasnt for him. He helped in so many ways, almost all ways up until the end. I hope next week is better for you.

Technomancer.

For the code, the answers, the help, the help you gave Dan, and then me when i picked this back up. Still trying to reach you via GTalk, however, you to are another major help, if not the reason i have the ability to build this stuff.

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

CyanogenMod7 for Galaxy Tab CDMA {SPRINT AND VERIZON}

I dont know where to start, this is kind of a big thing, bigger than the 2 GB roms i did.

This is built from source, based on the GSM source with many many tweaks, including tweaks I had to do last night, and even today to get it to run for 5 minutes on my tab.

This is Alpha build quality, what can you expect, let me tell you..

This is not daily driver material.

This may, or may not run for more than 5 minutes, though I do have a streak of 60 minutes today.

However it boots, and loads the OS, and allows navigating throughout the system, but can and probably will randomly reboot.

I know what the issue is, it is kernel level, I know exactly what it is, and will be all over it tomorrow starting 6am cst.

Whats Working.

?? good question, never took time to try stuff

Launcher Pro if installed via ADB

Whats Broken.

ADW Launcher (touch calibration is jacked up from ADW)

Calibration? (had to edit build prop to rotate screen 180 so launcher pro would register my touch properly.

I have run through the system today a few times till i ran the battery down, and it worked, no idea on 3G or wifi as at that time I was worried about basic functionality.

Stages of work....

Effect tomorrow I will build a few new kernels, including a new one that should place CM7 directly onto the SD card, test those out, and get that patch done I need to. I do feel that patch is 98% of the problem.

I will then address any bug reports, start a list in another reply i will save, and cross off each one as fixed to eliminate future confusion.

There may be nightlies depending on how much I can accomplish in a 16 hour day.

This will be stable, and perfect. Has to be, it's CM7

Instructions for installation.

Flashing zip via CWM

Place on SD card, wipe everything, then choose zip, flash, and for good measure, wipe again after the flash.

Flashing with Heimdall

Ill release a heimdall version tomorrow by noon.

Make sure to wipe data, cache, dalvik, fix permissions, just run with it, better to be safe, than sorry.

Links

Download Link for Flashable Zip

Reboot and enjoy for as long as you can, I can not test how it runs on other tabs vs my daily driver right now.

CM7 Source.....

Let me finish this alpha to a stable beta, organise my source's, make sure all my patches are in, and I will be more than happy to put it all up on my Github. Placing my current source up right now, might cause problems. I will also post instructions like Technomancer did. Yall know i love to edit my posts, lol so check back often.

If you like my work, feel free to donate.
