Full credit goes to Ssserpentine, SpaceMoose, and OldMacnut for their work on their united efforts to port Honeycomb to our tablets! It seems they are no longer working on it so I decided to create this thread and see what we all could to do together to improve what they have given us!

The point of this thread is to find ways to gather anyone with knowledge on developing, even if its just the "lowly 7-Zippers" like me, to see how we can remove minor bugs and small issues from the ROM. I know Oldmacnut was going to pick it up, but he has a lot on his plate right now and he has been in pain and is more interested in finishing the CM7 Port instead. I respect his decision, but so many people want honeycomb working on our tabs. So I am turning to the dev community here to see if we can group together and fix things in this rom together. If we cant solve the major bugs, lets address all the little things, cuz the little things add up.

Spacemoose made a list of suggestions from users earlier on how to solve minor issues, and little workarounds, but I would like to see if there is a way to roll up those fixes into one full updated ROM flashable through a zip/odin/heimdall file, and see if we can come up with more. You can see this post here, but I have added them to the second post as well in a more organized form.

Some Useful Links as Well:

------------------------------------------

Lets put our minds together and see what we can do guys! :) Btw this was inspired by Rodderik's thread [SPRINT][CDMA]Galaxy Tab (SPH-P100) Mega Development Starter Thread (CWM, EF17 TAR), so if youre interested in this, you might like his thread too!

Yes, please

I would really love a Honeycomb ROM for the Galaxy Tab. There are many reasons why I want to put Honeycomb onto the original Galaxy Tab.

Just see the difference for yourself: Blank space, single pane, one-category-at-a-time menus in Gingerbread

VS.

Less blank space, concise, dual pane interfaces in Honeycomb.

Gingerbread apps are just designed for smaller smartphone screens, so they look too big and spaced-out on the 7-inch Galaxy Tab for my taste. I would really love to see some tablet-optimized apps on the Galaxy Tab!

-------------------------

And yes, I respect the developers and appreciate them so much for the time they put into making custom roms a reality for us!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
Please make the thread for GSM also.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speedysilwady:
Are the bugs the same? Or are there others that I havent mentioned? I will try to make a section for both tabs if theres different bugs in each one.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] PunkRock:
Why no mention of ssserpentine?

In op or thread tittle?

He worked on the GSM version.

Moose did the major part of the port and the cdma version.

That other person stumbled, or so he claims, on a audio fix. Never saw a release of this apparent audio fix.

Wonder how many donations he got on open thread with no release posted.

Hmm.

Makes ya wonder why that thread is even there.

Dole out the credits properly.

Just know it needed to be said, and go ahead and get mad. Truth hurts.

alot of angry responces coming, maybe, but dare ya to point out a single lie in this post. Even an exaggeration.

Moose did hc for MONTHS and noone offered any valid help, except ssserpentine, why do you think anyone is gonna get off their but now?

Why don't you, punkrock?

Cause I know how utterly hopeless this task is.

Why don't you all just wait for the leak of the next os?

That so much closer than some random Joe, or Joe's on xda getting hc ported at this point .

is the dead horse braised yet?

Still, hope is eternal, I suppose
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speedysilwady:
Easy man, in my frenzy of trying to organize the thread, I forgot to credit Ssserpentine in the OP, youre right he did contribute a lot, no need to be rash, I will update it right now.

EDIT: btw oldmacnut did make an audio fix, im running his rom right now, I downloaded it when he had it posted before he took it down, and Im sure some of the bugs I mentioned are fixable on the rom level rather than through adb. My goal wasnt to debug the rom completely, it was to incorporate all the existing bug fixes and workarounds into one rom, while possibly solving others. Also the GSM devs are aplenty here, while we barely have any CDMA, Im sure we have enough talent to make it better than what it is. It might not be flawless, but Im sure we can squeeze more functionality out of it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] oldmacnut:
Its weird,

Honeycomb is more or less froyo based, obviously as we had hc long before gb, so at the time when I started getting into this whole dev thing hc/froyo seemed just different to me.

But after working on the abortion called gingerbread, and working onbthe kernel stuff, froyo to me, is starting to look like a much more viable and dev friendly option.

Alot if the work Dan did in hc was from scratch, or from the sdk, etc. The audio fix I did was from both.

The big issue on getting hc up and going into a usuable rom is source, we really really need that source for hc. Otherwise, its going to be a long drawn out road of trial and error building with alot of these issues never really getting fixed.

Truth is,

No device with our hardware exists with hc, so no drivers that we need.

We need Google to release the hc source.

I liked hc on my tab just like y'all, but.......I know its just a novel weekend fun toy till we get better resources.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speedysilwady:
Yeah I know, the lack of source sucks along with the fact we dont have drivers. I dont think we'll have everything working anytime soon at all, if ever even, but I think some of the minor annoyances like the disappearing quick settings toggle, sdcard mounting issues, and graphical errors can be solved without that kind of stuff. Me personally, Id just like HQ Video Playback and 3D Graphics working a hundred percent along with orientation, but as you said no drivers so idk how easy that'd be. Still, Im sure we could solve some of these minor issues. I keep browsing over the Nook Color Forums trying to find hints to solving some of these things
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BulletproofIdeal:
GSM Tab here I'll flash the old 2.5 alpha release and confirm these bugs, see what else I can do.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] MobileData:
Nice to see something happening here. I love my Tab but would like some advancements in OS to address specific issues. I am very new to the dev side of the Android OS but would like to get involved.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Githrog:
What blows my mind is that they have created an almost perfect HC port for the $150.00 walmart sold viewsonic g-tablet by means of the flashback roms so why is it so hard to get HC working on our tabs? And why can't someone just dump the Rom from the gtab10.1 and use that as a starting point?

On a different note, the alpha 2.5 HC Rom for gsm, the sd cards will not mount no matter what, I've tried The terminal and the mount instructions many times all I am able to do is get the tab to recognize my external sd as the internal sd, and if you try to go to settings applications and clear data for the gallery you get a force close as soon as you tap manage applications

Guys, there is no reason to develop honeycomb, it is inposible to make fully functional honeycomb rom, wait a month or less for ICS, read this (quote from android police posted today):
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BulletproofIdeal:
I just wanted an excuse to try out Honeycomb :P
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speedysilwady:
Wow now that is the kinda posts i like seeing on here! I will try to update the OP tonight with this info! Thanks so much! Definitely echo your sentiments about the fractured and fragmented development we have going on here, it really sucks =/

Ive found out that replacing the existing Gallery with Gallery3D should fix the FC that keeps popping up.

I think Ive found a working Youtube App (in LQ).

Ive also found a hint towards solving the sdcard mounting issue. Its not the vold.fstab its something either in the framework or ramdisk within the kernel, according to the Nook Color Forums.

This thread is interesting: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1062626 , actually the entire nook color forum is interesting for finding fixes.

Also changing the dalvik_heapsize to a certain value is supposed to increase app compatibility. Before I update the OP with some of these things, I wanna do a little more testing and see what I can come up with.

Sorry to bother for help,

Sorry to bother you guys for help, but I've been trying to install Oldmacnut's updated of Spacemoose's CDMA Honeycomb (2.5.1) for hours now, with no success.

I used Rodderick's awesome stock rom/kernel and got into clockworkmod (using 4.0.1.5 or 3.0.0.0), installed the zip from there, then rebooted the phone, but I would either 1) be stuck at logo for 10+ minutes 2) see the Sprint startup video loop over and over again, or 3) get stuck on a turned on, but black screen.

How did you guys install Honeycomb on your CDMA tab? Am I doing something wrong? Should I use Spacemoose's 2.5 rom instead of Oldmacnut's?

EDIT: NEVER MIND, IT BOOTED INTO HONEYCOMB. I am in a foreign language, haha, I'm guessing Portuguese?

EDIT EDIT: Google Translate detects the language as Catalan. Haha!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BulletproofIdeal:
Hehe that happened to me as well
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] iliveinabucket:
First Impressions and problems encountered

HOLY SHOOT THIS IS QUITE FAST!

Considering there is no graphics acceleration support, Honeycomb runs much faster than I anticipated. SD card support is fantastic, and so is hearing sound! (I love you OMC) The UI is awetastic and the standard web browser is blazing fast. Scrolling in web pages is faster on Honeycomb than on Gingerbread stock.

The jittery touch screen bug I have is still there, unfortunately. Damn bug drives me crazy sometimes. I'm sure somebody has this problem that many of us have but have not found a fix to: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970965

Basically, when I hold down my finger to scroll on white or light-color backgrounds, the screen shakes back and forth in a spastic, noticeable way, especially when I hold it in place. This happens on every single rom I've been on, froyo, GB, CM7, and now Honeycomb. Has anyone found a fix for that yet?

Anyways, I think all the known Honeycomb bugs are true to me too. Youtube force closes on me, GPS doesn't work, auto-orientation doesn't work. Strangely enough, Quick Settings doesn't work for me. Anyone encounter that?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BulletproofIdeal:
Yeah sadly it doesn't appear to work for anyone.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] devilng:
can anybody suppose me how to solve SD bug. that way doesn't appear like working (no errors but still no SD card or EMMC) its the only reason why i'm still on 2.3

i have emmc, every time was, if u use es file when you open app,tap on the sd card image on the top left and then you will find emmc folder
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speedysilwady:
it seems oldmacnut has resurrected the honeycomb project for cdma tabs, should we try focusing on that build instead?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Archer:
What about GSM tab owners?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] wackymix:
I`m a gsm user and i was very glad when spacemoose1 started Honeycomb work. Now i`m very sad couse there are more people who use GSM tabs but the work has moved to CDMA ones :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
Jim, aka Oldmacnut, didn't have a GSM Tab to work with,that's why the progress stopped with Space's project. No worries though guys, a couple of people managed to flame Jim so badly,and so publically last night, that he quit...every link of his on XDA has been pulled, all his threads have been locked, and every link on his website is gone as well...looks like there are currently NO Honeycomb developers left around here, because people can't keep their personal issues behind closed doors. I personally want to wish Jim the best of luck, and give him a heartfelt thanks for all his hard work and dedication, and I'm sad to see him go. Guys, remember this going forward... Developers are LIMITED RESOURCE, and WE, as a community (some more than others), have driven many of the best ones away with demands, flames, ignorance, and selfishness. Let this be a lesson to all of us, to appreciate the people who put in work for absolutely ZERO payback, other than the love of the community, love of the platform, fun, and yes, the very occasional donation. Hopefully someone will pick up the project for GSM and CDMA, but as of about 1am this morning, it's my feeling that Honeycomb is officially dead in the water... :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dariolob:
Mmhh? What about this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1288943

Of course we're doing active developing,HoneyComb is far from dead!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
Guess I was speaking from more of a CDMA point of view…I appreciate all of the dev efforts, regardless of carrier or device, but Jim took 90% of the active CDMA Tab support with him when he left (and Dan's links are down too), and the landscape is kind bleak for us. I know there's a couple people working on CM7, maybe MIUI, but the CDMA dream seems to be lost at this point; there seems to be very little direction, and we no longer have even a Gingerbread build to really fall back on (unless I'm mistaken…I trolled through 8 pages in the dev forums before I called it quits, and didn't see anything other than Boussh's work, which I already have).

I guess my main poin was respect… too many people troll these threads, demanding results in return for their donations, and that kind of attitude is what drives devs, like Space, to call it quits on promising projects. I just wanted to try to persuade people to treat ALL devs with the respect they deserve, before we end up losing all of them for good. :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] guido28:
Honeycomb dev is going to be scarce with ICS coming out and having the compatibility with ALL devices.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
Honestly, I hope that's not the case. From the screenshots and leaked videos I've seen, I'm not overly impressed with ICS. I really hope that it doesn't fundamentally change the way Honeycomb tablets work, because I actually really like the HC UI. Will it be a marked upgrade for high-end phones? Sure it will, but since I haven't seen any shots of the OS running on a tablet device, I really wonder if it's going to provide a drastic improvement. So, in light of that, I hope development will continue for Honeycomb devices (considering I just caved, and bought an A500 yesterday, and the device has a rabid dev community)... ICS will probably be a wonderful upgrade for the Galaxy Tab, but I'm on the fence about how it will improve my D3 or the new tablet. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

sorry if already answered...

but where do find "Dev Tools" for switching off the red border?

another issue I have:

As soon as the display switches off, my tab reboots

any solution?

do I have to flash "JJ7 ROM"?

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jjhiza:
I have the Spacemoose CDMA Alpha 2.5 build guys, but I'm waiting on word back from Space, as to whether or not I can post it. The problem with posting it would be the fact that I could offer absolutely zero support for anyone with issues, because I have no skill at all with firmware. Not to mention, there are still quite a few bugs in the build (headphone audio, 3g, and a few other things). I'll post it if and when Space gives me the green light, and I'll also ask if he minds any devs working to make the build more stable…that's going to be the only way most people will be able to enjoy HC on their Tabs. Hopefully I'll hear something back soon.

*sorry, I don't have the GSM build*
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speedysilwady:
