Get "Voltage Control" and you'll see.

On another note. Why do we have 2 search options? (Google search and search 4.0.1)

I froze search 4.0.1 with titaniumbackup. This fixed the "white" old search and now Google search kicks in with its beautiful blue/black version :D

flashing alpha 4

how can I flash alpha 4?

In cwm gives a error..bad file...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gorelshv:
I used No-Frills. If it doesn't help I'll switch to Voltage Control.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sohrab1985:
Thanks for your advice, but I tried that, too and it didn't work for me. I actually got the wifi working but it's just for couple of seconds. I could even open some sites. As long as something use the wifi, it works perfect, but for example the moment a web page loads completely and nothing uses wifi, it stops working. I don't know but I think it's somthing related to sleep mode.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] micha3lall3n:
r u using a cdma or gsm tab?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] laxanoulis1:
Any apk with working maps?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sohrab1985:
A GSM tab.

I restocked to Overcome v4 just to have a fresh rom, and then I flashe Alpha 4.

How many of you guys who got the wifi working are on alpha 4?

I just want to know those who have working wifi are on alpha 4 or 3.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] maverickzero:
I don't know if it's ICS or this specific ROM, but Kobo application don't seem to be able to download the books from my library. Can anybody confirm?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gtUser1000:
@sohrab1985

I disabled in the advanced wifi settings the 1st and the 3rd option (i have german version so i do not know the right name of this options)

The 1st options shows if there is a new open network available.. disable it

the 3rd options uses only wifi connections which arent bad / weak.. disable it.

Every reboot i have to enable / disable the Flight mode or the wifi will not connect.

just try out maybe it helps.

I'm on the ALPHA4 with edited wpa_supplicant.conf, build.prop and added apps from other roms (hc and ics).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] EmperorX:
Gmail is not included in the gapps on the first page correct? Since it is not in the marker does anyone have the tablet apk?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sohrab1985:
Thanks, mate. It connects better now, but still for seconds.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] micha3lall3n:
mine didnt work on alpha 3 n 4... im not using a gsm tab though... it might have something to do with router settings, we might have to wait for the DHCP fix for wifi...

also im using a belkins router if i type my ip in my router settings do show up on my tab

before i connect it'll show connection strength excellent then when it connects it changes to poor
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cheatman:
Well, it seems the DHCP server is getting killed when automagically run by the system during the interface configuration. That just means that as soon as the eth0 interface gets the IP from your DHCP server, it gets killed by the "dhcpcd-run-hooks" script. Tough luck, but this is not really a good thing.

In other (related) news you can sort this out by manually running the DHCP service. Once you do, you get instant dynamic IP glory (provided you were attempting to connect to a WiFi).

PS: I'm still on Alpha 3 so I dunno what / how / who can release patches for Alpha 4. I read in the OP you also have market fix so I guess there is really no need to update patch...

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] laxanoulis1:
Any ideas how can i mount the tab with pc by CWM?! 1st time i tried it it works, but now i can't make it work again!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gorelshv:
How?

I use "mount internal storage" option.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cheatman:
Hmmm... in OP it's listed that WiFi doesn't work?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gtUser1000:
@micha3lall3n

Yes the signal goes to poor. The update frequency is very low. You should change that in your build.prob to see a more accurate wifi-signal-quality.

But this could cause a bad wifi and battery usage...

after wakeup the screen the signal is also poor til the the wifi scan is updated...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] laxanoulis1:
You are using Alpha 3 or 4? I'm using 3 and there is no "mount internal storage" option!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gorelshv:
This option is in CWM
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] laxanoulis1:
Thats what i'm saying, i'm using mounts & storage and then i'm plug in the device, and then i'm pressing mount. Nothing....., my pc is showing 2 disks but i can't open them!

Edit: After restarting my pc all is ok! :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] EmperorX:
Anyone have a gmail tablet apk? It's not with the included gapps. Also, has anyone had applications uninstall themselves after a reboot? And finally, do you need to do the chmod every time you restart to get the market to work?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gorelshv:
Use humberOS's kernel, or flash alpha 4.

I use the gmail app that came with alpha. It has a nice tablet interface.

I don't know any other special version of gmail for tabs.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] EmperorX:
Hmm, I guess I shouldn't have flashed the gapps in the op.... Looks like they wiped gmail? Did you just flash alpha 4, no gapps?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cheatman:
Wifi is fixed completely, I have a fully working build! However, I will not be able to release it here apparently, as I am branched off form Alpha3, not from your current version here in the thread (Alpha4).

There are also overlapping fixes from both me and others like making the market work on boot and such. Can anyone let me know what the changelog is for this build and let me know all the details? What works / what doesn't etc....

C.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] micha3lall3n:
i thought alpha 4 was just alpha 3 with the market and wifi fix?

can u post a link to it? or pm one would like to have wifi again lol
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cheatman:
Haha, then I have been working all day dor nothing! :-D

I have been looking to get wifi and market to work "as they should" and you had this all along? Heh, I'll get this Alpha 4 and see for myself. I though Alpha4 was a remake of what already existed...

C.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] EmperorX:
The marketing does not work without adb edits every time you reboot. Wifi also needs to be toggled into airplane mode then off every time you reboot, after you've got it connected manually.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] EmperorX:
They do not work as they should. Your time has definitely not been wasted bud :-)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kalel90:
alpha 4 just has a partial wifi fix as in static ip not full working wifi. It also has some other less important stuff.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] micha3lall3n:
sorry i should of said that in my previous post it only works in static mode for some. DHCP setting are not working in that fix.. for me the static fix doesnt work at all id prefer the alpha 3 with a full working wifi cause i havnt been able to use internet at all on it cause i dont have a data plan on my tab i bought it and used it as a wifi tab about 9 months back
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] laxanoulis1:
Good news man, but one question! Where you will post the fixes?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kay_kiat88:
You didn't waste your time. Alpha 4 includes minor "fixes" such as market, root, the static wifi and some changes to build.prop(no idea what changes cos I didn't download it). All included in 1 .zip. No changes to code at all. Its just a repackaged of alpha 3 with all the minor fixes.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cheatman:
I have no idea yet. It appears that Alpha 4 contains my root patch and my wifi patch (the one I did yesterday).

Apart from that being not cool (obviously, cause I was the one who released the fix for them, lol) there is no additional benefit. I mean, it's just like taking Alpha 3 and flashing 2 other ZIPs, only you call it Alpha4! :D

Anyways, I am thinking of creating a patch for the moment, but I think history will repeat itslef. Let me be clear on what my current patch does:

1. Allows you to connect instantly to Wifi, no airplane mode switch, no static IP, etc. It works like in Gingerbread and all...

2. The market just runs out of the box, no need to adb or fix anything. I have been looking at the promotional stuff on the market these days. It's insane! They have Asphalt 6 at 0.10$!!!!

3. EDIT (forgot this one!) It sets DPI at 160 like the tab was supposed to be in the first place...

PS: lol, only 16 ppl downloaded my wifi fix from yesterday! Guess all others are using Alpha 4? :D

Cheers,

C.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Beny The Kid:
Is it possible to update the OP. Are we still required to swap out build.prop and apply the root fixes?

*edit* NVM. Last post answered that.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] captain134:
I have figured out a way to get a keyboard to work at 240dpi (or any dpi for that matter). I have attached the keyboard in this post, install it, change your dpi then just just select it in input method settings. A keyboard will now show up but only in portrait orientation . I don't know if this is useful at all but I thought some people may want to play around with it because changing the dpi does fix some apps.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kay_kiat88:
@cheatman

Yep this is the guy who decided to release his "repackaged" stuff. You might wanna pm him and ani55 to sort things out in the first post cos it's really getting messy.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gorelshv:
Just a quick update:

It's been almost 4 HRS since i made changes to CPU frequency and governor and haven't had any reboots or shutdowns since. I'll keep testing and see how it goes.

Thank you, developers and testers, for the hard work.

Good night everyone.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] NomaSS:
I could be way off here but I'm just thinking the OP'er wanted to consolidate everything to make it easier for people to download one zip to flash vs downloading something from the OP and then hunting through hundreds of posts to find patches to download and flash as well to get to current state of the project.

I would encourage you to post you patch for the benefit of the project. ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kalel90:
Yea im pretty sure no one did that with malicious intent it was just easier for people to grab one file from the front page and flash it. The easiest solution is to release yours as alpha 4.1 or 5 and just continue from there id also put something in the post about giving you credit if its added to the first post.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] micha3lall3n:
they should of posted this as the alpha 4... maybe just release it as alpha 5 since the fixes previously were minor, the main thing im trying to get is wifi but aside from that my tab resets back to when i first flashed the rom every restart main screen clears everything off live wallpaper goes back to nexus one and all my saved data seems to be gone?... you know any way i can fix this? still unsure if this is happening to anyone else or just cdma or maybe even just sprint cdma
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] anfalas:
I completely agree with you - have been getting more confused by the day with all the fixes and patches. All the developers have done wonders here but things definitely need to be organised into a more cohesive whole :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Just release your own rom mate ;-)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speedysilwady:
Sorry man, like I said I didn't take any credit for anything, nor am I a dev. I credited you in the post I made and I tried to integrate your fixes into one zip to cause less confusion but i didnt do.it completely right like I thought I did. I apologize. I think your next release would cause less confusion since it has everything fixed.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cheatman:
Well, I don't think of it as messy. I don't have a problem with repacking this stuff, I have a day-job, I make this stuff for myself anyway (yeah, I like ICS, who would have known?) :D

Also, it's not about the credit. Others have given to me in turn, so I owe you guys at the moment. Ani55 already mentioned me in the first post (thanks ani55!)

The problem is, I have no idea how some of the patches work and I am confused about what works and what doesn't. On top of that, alpha builds need to follow some rules (phearus and cdesai mentioned some).

My patches for Alpha3 are created in separate batches specifically to contain only specific fixes to make them easy to port over to future builds. Who will debug a CWM zip that includes 6 fixes? What about 26 fixes? You have to check them all for compatibility and if the new build already fixed them!

So, Alpha3 is the current build! What I do are small patches on top of it, not bringing any new functionality. If you want to name Alpha3+Patches something else, then call it a ROM and maintain it! :D

My 2 cents,

C.

---------- Post added at 11:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

Quick update:

The patch with WIFI and Market working are with a tester now. I will upload here once he gets some feedback on how it works!

@speedysilwady: No problem! Really, I appreciate the effort to consolidate all in one ZIP, only I got confused for a second on what changed along the way and what didn't :D

C'mon guys, this was supposed to be fun! Tik tok... tik tok... come on with the tests already! :P
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kalel90:
I forgot to ask, are you or can you also put up a cdma version after its been tested?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cheatman:
That's the beauty of it! It's a patch, I don't need to! You can just flash it up when I post it up, because there is no kernel in it! You keep your kernel and get all the goodies.

Edit:

- 1st report said patch is good to go live. 2 more reports required!

- 2nd report was NOT successful.

- 3rd report was also NOT successful

Look below for full explanation on how to do it. Apparently there is little chances for it to work...

Everybody wins!

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Reb0rn:
A maybe lame q but is there any way to get the running apps button to work yet?

| ICS Alpa4 Powered Galaxy Tab | Tapatalk |
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cheatman:
I looked into it briefly, but there is no apparent way to debug it. Logcat says nothing, dmesg says nothing. I didn't look into the code though...

Later edit:

OK, the full Wifi patch is attached to this post. How to apply and use:

1. Make sure you are running Alpha3 by cdesai / Angel_666.

2. Flash the root CWM ZIP in the first post.

3. Flash this wifi and market fix ZIP attached to this post.

4. Reboot.

5. Once booted up, "Forget" all of the already confgured wifi connections!!!

6. Stop wifi and then start it up again.

7. click on your network and configure as if you were on Gingerbread.

8. Say thanks, will you? :D

Peace,

C.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] laxanoulis1:
So that means that you will upload the patch? :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cheatman:
Yes, see previous post...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speedysilwady:
@humberos: in your CDMA kernel, you used an incompatible recovery, nothing mounts or formats. Can you please try including this one?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17817293&postcount=3
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] laxanoulis1:
You are the best man! I will test it right now! :D

And one question, if I have already flash root zip, i have to flash only wifi zip?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] micha3lall3n:
@speedysilwady so is that why internal space shows 0.00b and sd card does not read when gallery or music is opened?

after that fix this is going as my daily:D lol...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] EmperorX:
Can this be flashed safely on alpha 4? I'll be the guinea Pig if you want
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speedysilwady:
try going to applications and wiping data for music and gallery and i think it will show up, like i said im not a dev but that does sound like a logical reason as to why that happens
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] anfalas:
Working on alpha 4 for me :D Was so preoccupied trying to get wifi working hadnt noticed the guidance suggested alpha 3 :o
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] laxanoulis1:
Nothing for me..... :/ 1st attempt, i already flashed root and i did only flash with wifi zip, boot up and try, nothing!

2nd attempt, boot @CWM, flash root zip, then flash wifi zip, boot up, close wifi, open wifi again, and then nothing again! Any solution cheatman?

Edit: Works great now! ;) Saved the password and then...... connect! :D

100000 thanks cheatman!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] micha3lall3n:
thanks bud tried to hit thanks button im at my 5 thanks limit lol will try to pm humberos now and hopefully we can get the cdma storage fixed soon
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lambstone:
Does anyone know how to fix the multitasking button?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nkvdman:
cheatman

Wifi and Market work great for me after your last patch! Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] laxanoulis1:
Now with market enable, all the apps will work correct! :D

You rock cheatman!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speedysilwady:
i have a hunch that editing the vold.fstab will fix low internal space error for CDMA users. Also noticed my tab isnt detected by ADB on my PC anymore, are there updated drivers or something? I have USB Debugging enabled.

As of now on Sprint Tab with cheatmans patch

Wi-Fi Works

Root Works

Market Works but Low Space Error

To Access Wi-Fi:

1) Turn Wi-Fi On

2) Press and HOLD the name of your network

3) Enter Password

4) Click Save

5) Press and hold the name of your network again

6) Click Connect
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] EmperorX:
Seems to have broken it on alpha 4 for me... Damn lol

Edit : nm it works great something is just wrong with my Internet :)

Also, the xda app uninstalls itself every time I restart??? Any ideas??
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] NomaSS:
Tried these steps on VZW tab all I get is a loop of WIFI >Connecting>Authenticating>Obtaining IP>Saved. Secured with WPA>Connecting, etc. Also in the list of available networks my network show excellent singnal but one I try to connect it drops to 1 out of 4 bars and won't connect.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] EmperorX:
Try rebooting
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] EmperorX:
I had to screw with it for awhile. Finally started working great though.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cheatman:
You all owe me a beer! :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] NomaSS:
nope same thing... oh well

EDIT: Got it working with static IP now to test the market

EDIT 2: No go on the Market
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayysir:
Well if you check alpha 4 that I packaged, I gave you credit for your fixes right in user script

The point of repackaging it was to help users to get everything at once instead of going Thru 90+ pages of posts to find patches then complaining about bs.

Didn't know you would feel offended by us doing that for average users to promote smooth flashing

You and the others are true devs

Me n. Speed was trying to make it easy for users not to get flustered since thread and op is a mess already
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cheatman:
Make sure you disable "poor connection" setting in wifi advanced settings.

Signal is awkwardly reported by the system so it might be that.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lambstone:
Here's one on me :p
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cheatman:
Perfect!

That hit the spot!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayysir:
Op need to be seriously edited too clustered
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] EmperorX:
Still curious if the xda app uninstalls itself on every reboot for people? When I reinstall it, I'm still signed into my account and my favorites are still there... Very odd indeed
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kalel90:
Sooooo you got any idea on why our settings arnt saved after every reboot?

Also CDMA tabs get an out of space error when trying to download apps from the market.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cheatman:
Which settings aren't saved after reboot?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mmjp:
At step 6) click connect many time, but still showing Saved on wifi status,

Both password and without password same status.

using Alpha 4 + cheatman fix

#finally work with "cheatmen" help
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] X1088LoD:
I haven't played with this too much, but I think it's the same on all of the Sprint CDMA tabs from a few posts i've seen.

Everytime I reboot, it is as if I just installed it fresh.

The desktop resets itself to default, and any settings or changes to apps don't seem to stick.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kalel90:
Exactly. Its extremely annoying. Any help with it would be much appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] micha3lall3n:
yea its a internal storage problem must be the first big diffrence between the cdma and gsm... check in your settings under storage you'll see it say total space 0.00b for some reason if you go to gallery or music it wont read the sd either but under settings and storage it shows how much free space is on there...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kalel90:
Ah i didn't even think of that i bet both issues are caused my that. Good thinking. Now we just need someone with the knowledge to fix it lol.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] shayind4:
You are Good . We are following your work, and waiting for results. Keep up the good work. Your time is not wasted. You and Humberos fixed the wifi issue.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speedysilwady:
At the moment I am busy but I will try to fix the internal storage error and maybe itll fix the data partition formatting itself after every reboot, i think the problems lie in vold.fstab and the incompatible clockworkmod recovery in the CDMA kernel
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] micha3lall3n:
think i might of figured out the internal storage problem it was in that file... post in a sec.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speedysilwady:
the theoretical fix would be to take the vold.fstab from a CDMA AOSP or MIUI Rom and push it.

---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

btw does anyone on CDMA have the ability to connect their tab to ADB ? just curious because i cant

yea looking at the file i compared to the honeycomb cdma one.. seen what the problem was for cdma... well atleast what im gonna test

That should do it :)

Does adb work on your tab?

havnt used it i was gonna try swapping it from zip...

damn tabs dead if i send the edited one can u make it a flash and try it out?
