Thanks for detailed tests. As for me - 3G works.. That's why i upload the rom - in 1-st alpha GSM works only for me, in this version - 3G works only for me :) Strange.. need to check Logcat..

If u have ADB, please go in console and do: logcat -b radio. The result help me in research..

As for 160 Dpi and Softbuttons - I agree, that they are not needed for us. Try to fix it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayysir:
Wish wifi would work. If anyone gets it working then I will flash ics alpha

Also check beta hc rom, for tab in this forum. They fixed the keyboard pop out issue

That's what she said...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] adi6262:
i hope this is what you want . doing it for the first time so..

What base is used?

Hello Devs,

I was wondering is this based off of the CM9 ICS this is being worked on? If not will it change over to such? Thanks, will be updating my Tab soon, right now not in my possesion to change but should be by Wed.

Can't wait to try this as I have ICS from CM on my Galaxy Captivate.

Keep up the wonderful work!

God Bless,

Christopher

Guys, I don't want you to have slow download speeds so check back in 20min from now and click on alpha 2 faster download link.

Here is the link (it's in the OP as well):

No Wifi in Alpha2? Bummer. That's really the only thing keeping me from making the leap.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dannyvanderzande:
I agree with the poster above. I don't have a SIM-card in my GT-P1000 atm and even if I did.. I prefer wifi over 3G anytime!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ani55:
It's quite hard to fix, please be patient!

Dude. I managed to decompile the ICS SystemUI using the apktool attached below. You might wanna check it out.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dcbogdan:
logcat is attached. Thanks!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
I'll give it a look later. Does it pull apart framework-res too?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] adi6262:
how can i get super user permission for apps ?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ani55:
Check OP for root solution. If you need superuser app ask me.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kay_kiat88:
Unfortunately, no. I don't understand why either. It decompiles the SystemUI but not the framework-res. Weird. Well, I've been trying to look around XDA for a proper version of apktool that decompiles both. Will let you know if I managed to find any.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Damn. Hopefully Brut.all will work his magic.

A quick video for anyone interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A68LZhzGhQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player I'm pretty busy tonight so no real testing on the video, but I'm really impressed guys, much love!!! Will do a proper review when i have some time to play properly :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dnmeboy:
Yes I did get it flashed and booted up on my sprint galaxy tab. Was it not supposed to work on CDMA tablets? I didn't see that in the original post so I assumed it would work.

It's pretty much in the same spot as everyone else. It looks and runs just fine however there is no wifi or keyboard. it booted to the welcome screen and I went through the setup process and skipped most of it because I could not type. I was able to add widgets, open apps and create folders. Didnt try anything else. As for everything else, sorry, I do not know. With the lack of wifi I quickly flashed it back to the stock rom.

Maybe I will flash alpha 2 and see what happens. I really would like to wait until at least wifi is working. The honeycomb port never worked well enough to keep it on my tab and it appears to have been abandoned.

---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------

Yeah, I see that now lol. I was so excited about getting a better OS on my abandoned Galaxy tab that I did not even realize that this was gsm only. It does work though.

The rom I flashed that booted up and functioned, the file name is P1000_ISC_alpha1.zip

I have no idea whos rom it is but it works on the sprint tab. I would imagine 3g will never function but I dont want it to anyway. Just wifi.

Would be sweet if I was the first to discover something that no one else was aware of.

Oh and I did RTFM, thats how I managed to instal the GSM Rom on my CDMA Tablet. What I didnt read was the title of this thread...No big deal. It didnt screw up my tablet and it works.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kay_kiat88:
Quick test for alpha 2:

1. GSM works. I'm able to send and receive sms. As mine is a data only SIM, I'm can't confirm whether phone call works or not.

2. 3G doesn't work for me. No data. Wifi doesn't work either.

3. Changing the dpi to 160 is great. With the tablet layouts and such. All on screen buttons work except the recent task. Not sure about whether it works at 240.

4. Camera works. But only for panorama mode lol. I tried capturing pictures using normal mode. I could hear the picture being captured but the whole picture is grey when I view it in the gallery. Surprisingly panorama mode works! Video recording doesn't work for me. Video record button is a red circle circle instead of a blue one.

5. Able to adjust brightness. For alpha 1, adjusting brightness wasn't possible.

6. All sensors don't work.

7. In settings -> Apps, I can view all the apps that are installed. Previously on alpha 1, Settings will FC when I tap on "Apps"

8. Maps not included in gapps lol.

9. Keyboard works when you disable physical keyboard. Here's how to do it: At dpi 160 with the tablet layout, when you tap on any textbox, you'll see a mini keyboard icon on the bottom right hand corner in the statusbar. Tap on that icon and a menu will pop up. Off physical keyboard.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] anfalas:
Are you sure we want to get rid of the soft key buttons? If most of us are intending to use the tab in landscape mode aren't the soft keys useful for navigation? Plus there's the recent apps button (assuming this can be fixed).

What do the rest of you guys reckon?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] EmperorX:
I dunno... I find myself always primarily using the tablet in portrait mode...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] omr911:
Alpha 2 :

Some times Camera fails to load , "Camera not installed"

Front Camera has bugs too.

Rear Camera can capture images.

I can receive SMS

No Voice Calls

Some times LWP fails to load too or takes toooo long

Market Live Wallpapers work perfect , stock Live Wallpapers aren't smoooth...

Wifi ?? = Dead...

Can't Mount SD Card...

No Screen Rotation + Sensors are dead...

Minor video playback issues...

More buggsss coming soooonnn....
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kay_kiat88:
There had been a previous discussion regarding the soft keys if you've gone through the entire thread. By default the softkeys are there. For those who doesn't want it, it can be easily removed by editing the appropriate xmls or smalis in SystemUI.apk (I think) and in the future it can be made into a patch or something. Either way, I think we should really drop the discussion about softkeys for now. We can bring this up again when all the major stuffs are fixed.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DaReDa:
GSM is not working for me :'(

Tomorrow i will send the adb.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] drbrains:
How do I get the softkeyboard?? I know on the Honeycomb RC I had to disable hardware keyboard, but I cant find that option in a fresh Alpha 2 install.

As soon as I have keyboard I can put a APN for my 3g data to start testing

Keep up the good work guys!

Hmmmm phone and sms work in my case.

But how to run Keyboard?

Does anyone know how to run it?

Thx
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayysir:
Wifi is still broken It seems. Tried to compare hc beta code with the ics alpha to try and help any little way I could

That's what she said...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dcbogdan:
You need to enable the status bar in order to do that, at least I couldn't find another way. And to do that you have to change the screen density in the build.prop file. Extract the ROM zip file and in the system you will find the build.prop file. Edit the lcd density line so it looks like this:

ro.sf.lcd_density=160

Now to use it you can either push it on the Tab with adb, or if you don't have adb just repack the ROM with the modified build.prop and flash it again. Just make sure when to repack it that the original contents is in the root of the archive.

Once you have the status bar enabled when you are focusing a text input control you will have a keyboard symbol in the status bar. Press it an from the menu turn off "Use Physical Keyboard".

If this is not too much of a hassle maybe the devs can find a way to make this the default in the text versions as I've noticed that you have to turn off the physical keyboard after each restart.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] slimdizzy:
Can you please not make this the only option. I think that a mod like that is not a decision left to only a single dev. If people didn't want soft buttons then why the tablet tweaks in CM7?

Personally I would prefer soft buttons and the back light turned off on our HW buttons.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lambstone:
Well, the general consensus is do not flash roms not intending for your tabs. I'm glad to see that it installs on your CDMA tab but I do hope you are well aware that you run the risk of something going wrong.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dnmeboy:
Alpha 2

Alpha 2 flashes and boots on the Sprint Galaxy Tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] theREDlegion:
That's weird, can you list things that are working/broken.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dnmeboy:
Honestly as far as I can tell its working the same as it is on the gsm tabs. I have a video on youtube. I will post a link for anyone who might suspect I am lying for attention.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jXHIrqVAZE

The tab takes a pretty long time to boot for the first time after flashing and every time after that. It has gone right the the ",ake yourself at home" screen each boot so far. Would be sweet if someone made this cdma compatible. If not then I will never have a decent os running on my tab. Im looking to sell or trade it anyway if I can find anyone interested.

I do not know how to get the keyboard working.

Live wallpapers work.

Haptic feedback works.

No sensors.

Camera initializes and displays but requests that I insert an sd card. There is already one present. Might need the sd card fix?

I have no clue if gps is funtioning. Google maps wont load without a network connection.

Sound works although I can only hear the clicking sound when unlocking and making a screen selection.

My tab seems to hang when loading apps at times.

Anything you want me to check let me know. I am not a developer or hacker. Just an idiot who flashed his cdma tab with a gsm rom because he wasnt paying attention. Funny thing is, it works.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] joethc:
Boots on Rogers P1000R unlocked on Telus... gsm working so calls and sms work

No 3g, bt or wifi...so no connectivity.

Will try 160dpi and kb fix

Would other radios possibly allow 3g? Was looking at logcat if anyone needs it I can dropbox it. Radio logcat also.

Great work everyone! Keep it up :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] andiemerchcomia:
Will try this when i get home. More power to you.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] shayind4:
Personally, i prefer dpi 240 because it looks and feels like true ICS 4.0, and the keyboard issue will be sorted out. I tried dpi 160 which makes the UI feels like Honeycomb.

Many thanks to the devs.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayysir:
Touchscreen unresponsive at boot and no cwm in alpha 2 in op...

That's what she said...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] theREDlegion:
I wasn't implying anything, just surprised. Alot of great discoveries were found just like that, by accident. Anyhow the fact that you were able to get as far as you did is going to give other CDMA members a boner because they are constantly going through the threads trying to get some HC and ICS love but without much luck, and no one dares flash a GSM rom on a CDMA device.

The keyboard fix was mentioned a few posts back by kay_kiat88 on post 359 linked here

PS: your video is much better quality than anything else posted earlier, everything else looks like your watching a bad quality CAM of a pirated movie.

debugging my own kernel now

any help on any of these problems would be great
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] koxudaxi:
hi,cminion

could you please show us you used init.rc?

i think it need to change some line in init.rc

also where did you import init.rc from?

thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dizgustipated:
Which logcat service are you using?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ani55:
For people building the kernel, remember this.^^
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ani55:
Quick Question guys:

Are libs drivers ( well, some of them)?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cheatman:
Libs are similar to DLL files on Windows. Some of them may be drivers or components of drivers, as well as regular libraries. Drivers in Linux are mostly built into the Kernel or as modules if they are required on demand (think plug-and-play).

Example: the driver for the screen would be built into the Kernel as you need it all the time the system is running. The Bluetooth driver can be a module that's loaded only when it's being used and unloaded (to free up memory) when it's not.

Note: Kernel modules usually come with ".ko" as extension on Linux when compiled. Although they tend to be self-contained executable code, it is not uncommon for them to use or rely on the existence of some libs (usually ".so" extensions)

Note2: Most libs are used by the applications themselves, not by the drivers. However, user experience components such as HW buttons or touchscreen drivers may rely on applications to function correctly. This usually happens through a message bus or service watchdog.

Cheers,

C.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ani55:
Thank you very much. Perfect explanation :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] areshinakya:
Huh? How is it possible that a .ko is linked against a .so?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cminion:
Cheers for the help, this is very much a learning experience for me. I understand the theory now its time to understand the practise.

init.rc is here http://pastebin.com/yAh2Pkdb

I have changed the init.rc since getting those original error messages
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cdesai:
This wont work, it mounts by mtd which driver aint ported to the tab yet

better is

grab cm7 init.rc

modify bootclasspath

compile

@OP ICS wont boot with just a build.prop edit, a lot more is needed, it aint that easy
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] adi6262:
are you too working on ICS port or HC only ? do you think ICS is possible ? (with or without code ?)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jeebspawnshop:
I think it might help if you guys check the galnet ICS SDK port over in the i9000 forum;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1324556

Since the Tab is basically an over-sized i9000...

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ani55:

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] adi6262:
Nothing works in that port ! Nexus S port is way better. and nexus S and tab are very similar too .
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dizgustipated:
Well I made a boot.img

But now the issue with it, is I had to use teks init, which he recently made alot of changes to.

Even tried a plain old generic tab gb init

With my kernel, teks and hc

I have a team of 4 talented porters from here and a few from other device threads.

I even had an old friend,a well known, and greatly missed tab sdk Porter take a look.

Their and my conclussion is.......

Not gonna happen for a while:(

Perhaps a long while, like way after sourcecode release.

But we will keep at it!

because that's what we do!

-diz
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] adi6262:
Super bad news :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mssmison:
Can you be more specific about why?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dizgustipated:
Edit

You never know, we might have to drop back down to froyo bootloaders, and work with a froyo kernel, like we did, for most of hc port.

froyo kernel is just so much easier to work with.

Its also an issue with how ics needs drivers to act, and the tabs usual/natural stubborn attitude.

This, I believe, is where source code is desperately needed. Driver modification

Fyi:

Furthest boot achieved on tab was with a zimage made from a gb init and cm sources.

Made by cdesai

Original message

Blame Samsung, lol no seriously,

Yes I will try to, but sadly majorly on the rushed at the monent

I just wanted to respond to let ya know I saw your?

I will get back in soon, to explain, but we believe not only is it partly teks new init (he recently made some major changes to it, trying to merge cdma and p1000l into it, and also a culprit could be, just guessing here, his new market cache location, and other mods to kernel.

Does anyone have a repo sync of teks cm (kernel), from, say a month ago?

Its much cleaner, and I believe to be a more solid ground to work from.

I will russle around my email outbox, and see if I still have a copy of a few of the tries, and also try to upload them, so you guys can take a look.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mssmison:
What was the furthest you got? GUI? Bootanimation? Dalvik execution?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] 1Brite1:
This is definitely sweet. I still can't figure out the keyboard. When I try to open and append the build.prop it asks which program to use to open it. I have tried it on my Macbook and Windows 7, haven't tried my Ubuntu Linux yet.

The appearance is really cool. Everything seems super fast as far as switching back and forth between applications.

For me, I have a T-Mobile and an AT&T sim and I can't get it to pick up a signal for data nor for phone calls. I still don't know about messages as I am still trying to change the DPI screen size, but like previous person stated, I am liking the size of everything and I have tried HC and it seemed small on my Galaxy Tab, which, although I live in the U.S., I purchased from the U.K.

Once this fully implemented, we will all have one beast of a device. Also, I am watching the HP Touchpad threads as I have one of those and have been dual booting between webOS and Android.

Thanks again to all involved for your TIME, which I do not have, but I always donate here and there for all of your hard work. It really is like having a totally new device. Looking forward to what tomorrow brings.......
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dnmeboy:
There was an earlier comment in reply to the original post I had made asking for help with my tab that came off as a little rude towards me.

The video was recorded on my Iphone 4, just wanted to do a quick job and prove that I wasnt lying about getting it running on my tab. Thing is I didnt really do anything. I just mistakingly flashed a gsm rom on my cdma tab and it worked so I didnt accomplish much. Its sweet that it works.

What is so wrong about flashing a gsm rom on a cdma tab aside from them having 2 different radios in them/ I understand that the hardware is different so the code or whatever in the rom would be as well. What im wondering is if this should have or could have bricked my tab?

I havnt had any issues with it. As far as ive been able tot ell you cant really brick it because you can always reflash it with cwm or push the stock rom over with odin or heimdell.

Before yesterday I would have never knowingly flashed a gsm rom on my sprint tab though. I decided to give ics alpha 2 a shot because alpha 1 booted and my tab wasnt bricked. I always back up first and then do a restore with cwm. its all easy once you know what to do so I dont know if its possible to permanently brick the tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] 1Brite1:
Bro, don't worry about the rude comments or when people don't believe you. Trust me, it has happened to me and others(including the devs, who then leave for other sites), plenty of times. Just remember you are dealing with people all over the world that don't know you and could really not care less about you or me or anyone else.

However, you do need to be careful when you try to flash any type of rom that is not in the same genre of your phone/tablet. There are huge differences between CDMA and GSM software. Even when flashing the correct rom for your type of phone/tablet, if you flash the wrong kernel/radio you can really mess up your device. That is why you see at the top of all of the developers first post that basically if you mess up your device that they are totally not responsible.

Although you may have gotten lucky this time(I am thinking that ICS is more user friendly overall, thus trying to tie in the Gingerbread-Honeycomb-Ice Cream Sandwich integration for phones and tablets), you may get screwed and end up with a real brick.

Moral of the story...don't worry when others don't believe you, but do be careful when you mess with different roms not made for your phone/tablet.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speedysilwady:
your mistake turned out to be an EPIC stroke of genius!

gonna try this now on my tab but first i wanna try a few modifications.

Thanks so much for making that mistake that turned out to be an epic win haha

i think the only way to brick samsung devices is to flash the wrong bootloader otherwise you can always odin your way out of a bootloop so im actually not too surprised it didnt brick but i am surprised its functional
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayysir:
Suggestions to the great secs, is include a file explorer in the rom zip so I can browse my sd card please

That's what she said...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speedysilwady:
im no dev but i *think* i can fix sdcard mounting on cdma. I will give it a shot and post it if i can fix it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] theREDlegion:
It is always important to read, very important. You yourself admitted to not reading the thread thoroughly and flashed a GSM rom on a CDMA device. That said you must understand that the comments will always be there, especially in the dev section where the devs are trying to do their thing and all sorts of questions are being asked cluttering the forums. Read, read and then read some more.

The tab can be bricked quite easily if you don't pay attention to details it takes only one bad flash, I know from experience that you can screw things up here and there manage to get back into the download screen and fix it. But look at all the bricked tabs that end up being regrets, do be carefull. But using your tab as a tester for all the CDMA folks gets you brownie points.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Justin^Tan:
dunno bout bootloader but i brick my tab once when i want to go back from BOCA to Overcome

forgot the step i did, but somehow, the battery gone haywire, charging seems weird, when i charge using laptop's usb , it goes fast just like a wall charger, but vice versa, my wall charger only trickles like from usb. and later plugging download mode from odin didnt detect the device at all, cwm already broken. dunno what to to and i had to bring it to samsung service center. luckily it still under warranty :D

being careful is never wrong

just my 2 cent
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayysir:
So, no cwm and no file explorer to install rom manager

And Odin will not recognize device in dl mode..
