Okay, got the GPS fixed. Yes, I kinda had a suspicion what it was.

Will post an update later, I have more things I wanna do.

PS - There can be no overclocking till there's kernel source. But I am working on some things I can do by rewrapping the kernel.

For those of you wanting Voodoo sound without the custom kernel: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.controlappdonate

It's $4, but if it works well, and you use a lot of audio, it's worth it.

i came from boushs 1.4 oc stock rom, and thou that rom treated well for almost 8 months i decided it was time for a change. this rom seems faster then the 1.4 i was running, and all in all your roms is great. almost feels like i have a brand new tab. sir i thank you much and hoope you keep up the great work. one question... the animations are standard on gb or that was one of your tweaks?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
It's a tweak.

Sent from my BAMF'd Thunderbolt.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] howtodoo?:
Thats cool. The rom is great man and it finaly got rid of that stupid update msg. Bc i was rooted way before gb came out i was never abke to official update the damn thing. Ive been using it since yesterday with no problems. It realy is smooth and fast. F...ing awsome man.

Hey dsb938, great job! I wil flash this when I get home. If you dont mind me asking, how did you root it???? There's several people on my thread asking about it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
Pre-rooted kernel. Gives you root when you adb in. This lets you mount the file system r/w so you can put in the root files.

Now that we will have source soon (I hope) a closer to stock rooted kernel can be made so that a basically stock ROM can be posted.

i a running your other version based on 2.3.4. if I download this will i have to factory / data wipe? Will i have to re set everything back up?

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

is uodating to 2.3.5. really necessary or beneficial? What changed in this?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Robin M:
dsb9938, or anyone...

Need just a little help... I'm familiar with flashing my Droid X2, but not very familiar with Samsung GT, and have never flashed a ROM on the Galaxy Tab before, so I need a little help understanding the instructions above. Specifically, I have three quick questions...

First... I have found two sets of instructions for using Heimdall. One says the following in VERY big letters....

THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART!!!!!! DO NOT SCREW THIS UP - -* I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE!!

DO NOT EVER EVER EVER PUT ANYTHING IN ANY OTHER LOCATION. THESE ARE THE ONLY FILES YOU NEED.

1.zImage goes in

both

the Kernel

AND Recovery slot

.

2.system.rfs goes in Factoryfs

3.Param.lfs goes in Param.lfs

4.cache goes in the cache slot.​

That would seem contrary to the instructions in the OP here. Do I follow these instructions,

or

do I put the dbdata.rfs file in the "Database Data" slot; and the recovery.bin file in the "Recover slot", even though this is contrary to the instructions quoted in red above?

Second question.... How do I Wipe Data/Factory Reset after flashing a ROM on the Galaxy Tab? Will I see this option in Recovery after flashing with Heimdall, or do I use the Factory Rest option in Settings, or do I do it using the devices own Recovery mode?, or is there a CWM Recovery mode for the Galaxy Tab that i should be using? Is it

also

advisable to wipe cache after uploading a new ROM or does a Data Wipe/Factory Reset automaticaly do this anyway?

Last question... Since this ROM includes a kernel, I assume that I can flash this ROM over top of EC02, and that I

do not

have to first update to 2.3.5. Is that correct? (I cannot do the stock 2.3.5 update without first going all the way back to the original VZW stock ROM because I no longer have the orignal Swype files and may be missing one or to other stock files that would crash the update patch.)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
Yes, you will.

It it is you want to keep using my updates.

You can read that on VZWs update page, I do not have th link handy.

D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
Things change. Older devices and stock devices usually have thsame thing in kernel and recovery. Trust me, it works. Use a pre 1.3.x version of Heimdall.

Hold down volume up while booting to get to recovery, which has a wipe option.

Yes, that's the whole point.

D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Robin M:
Thanks much. I'm giving this ROM a shot. Flashing the GT is a little scary, as you cannot pull the battery if the thing boot loops or something else goes wrong.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
Custom kernel added.

D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tombepa:
Since I already have cubed 2 on here, can I just flash the kernel and not wipe everything?? Btw, this rom rocks!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
Yes, that is correct. Thanks!

D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Robin M:
It did not work. Using Heimdall 1.1, I loaded "Recovery.bin" into the recovery slot (and the other five files into their respective slots), got the GT into Download Mode, and waited while drivers loaded. Then I pushed "start". What happens is that I get an error message that says "Failed to access device. Error -12", and the recovery slot gets highlighted, suposedly indicating an error in that slot, I would think. Nothing else happens.

Please advise what goes into the "Recovery Slot", and/or what I'm doing wrong. Tried a few times, both with USB Debugging (in settings) checked and unchecked. Got same results. Should this be checked or not when using Heimdall?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] laihafloyd:
Did you open heimdall first, put tab in download second, plug in USB third then press start? Have you tried rebooting your comp after installing drivers?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
You don't do it while the tab is on.

Power it off. Hold the volume down button. Press power.

This will put you in Download Mode. Then do the Heimdall stuff.

It will reboot when Heimdall finishes.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cooljo555:
Thank you thank you thank you! So far this is my daily driver and the new kernel is working great, I like very much so. The only issues i have is my camera is broken after trying both V1 and v2 and doing full wipes after each. Lastly is the popup window animation part of the theme? It takes too long to bring up the window to me and after a while that lost time adds up. Otherwise keep up the good work, I wish I had the time and knowledge to make this tab awesome.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cooljo555:
That error happens when it doesnt recognize the tab after the driver is installed, I have found that if I get that error simply unplug the tab then reconnect the cable and hit start again
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] howtodoo?:
Is the an overclocked kernel? Or is it just for the bootanimations? Wil it improve the tabs performance? Thanks again dude. Im gonna update to cubed 2 after i finish my laundry.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] wa0qbu:
Thank you for this great improvement of my tablet. Everything smooth. Will be following your work.. Only praise no issues.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lasimo0:
Same here. Nothing but praise. Excellent rom db! No bugs. Very stable.

Tip for speed freaks out there: use Spare Parts to make animations "fast" and this baby really feels fast. :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
No changed to actual kernel yet. Working on it.

D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Robin M:
Yep, I had done all that. Problem was that I had failed to properly load the drivers into the divice with the "Zadig" script. First time using Heimdall to install a ROM. Flashing the Samsung GT, and my Moto Droid X2 phone are

VERY

different procedures. :D

Thanks; and also many thanks to dsb and cooljo for helping.

ROM looks very nice so far. Just getting started looking around. I enjoy the unique lock-screen and pop-up animations. 1% battery icon is cool, too. I have a feeling that's not stock. ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] prscott1:
Hi D, glad to see you over here on XDA too! :D

I, too, just got a samsung gtab so learning how to flash properly. Seems the tabs and phones all have proprietary flash methods.

With the new kernel that you posted today, on heimdall (using ubuntu), do I only need to enter the zImage in the kernel file and all other files blank?

TIA!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Robin M:
+1 ...no problems at all.

This is a

VERY

nice ROM for the Samsung GT, with some useful additions. ADW EX, my favorite launcher, works well with it. Was a little surprised to see that there was no contacts app, but no problem. Gave me a reason to look at some from the Market. Using Go Contacts EX for now.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cooljo555:
I use blade buddy from the market, go to Advanced setting to modify the qemu.sf.lcd_density and add the value 180, do not modify the first lcd value set at 240(im not sure if it matters) then hit menu and save, settings wont stick until u reboot

I tried both single file and all the files and cant get past the boot animation, i may have spoke too soon on the custom kernel, i can wake the screen and turn off but just get a shimmering android logo when i do it.

Oh and after going back to stock then trying just the v2 files i got my camera to work so all is well thank you again kind sir.

Edit: my camera is broken again, after reinstalling my apps by just using the market is when it went out I think, I'm gonna wipe and see if that changes things

Edit 2: if u change LCD density the camera is then borked, luckily I don't use the camera over wanting the lower density but would like to see this fixed if possible as the lower density makes for more screen real estate for browsing, thank you again for ur time on this project, the efforts are so very appreciated
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tombepa:
Question, just got home and flashed the kernel. I put the zImage in the kernel slot and that was all, nothing anywhere else. it just stays on the android boot screen. Did I do it wrong? was it supposed to go in the recovery and kernel slot?

Edit: Actually I am trying that now to see what happens. I figured what the hell, worst I can do is have to wipe and reflash everything. Here's to experimentation!

Edit #2: Ok, that did not work so I just flashed the kernel and recovery.bin back from cubed 2 and it booted back to the way I had it before I tried the custom kernel.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BLACK-ICE:
Its working smoothly but, its saying my SDcard is not inserted?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] roth140:
I just did the OTA 2.3.5, is it safe to flash this still?

Sidebar: I've had this tab for almost a year and i am so happy to see some development for it. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cooljo555:
Yes it is safe to flash from any version I believe, being that u had the option to do the update I'm assuming u are on a stock rom right now, to my understanding, when flashed with heimdall u dont even need to be rooted BC u start in download mode and flash from there
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
Contacts and calendar may be broken because I tried to use modded ones that don't work with the update. I will have a patch soon that addresses this.

People haveing trouble flashing, I don't know what could be wrong. I will tell you, the zImage only goes in kernel. The kernel and recovery are not the same. If you flashed zImage to recovery, I do not know what that would do.

D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tombepa:
I don't know what's wrong either. I went back and flashed the whole thing, all the files plus your custom kernel at the same time, then wiped immediately and still got stuck at the boot animation. Flashing back to Cubed 2 with original kernel for now.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jarrettv:
how do I get rid of the custom theme? I like the looks of regular gingerbread.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
Get another ROM.

Don't you think it's just a smidge rude to ask that?

If you don't like what I made, don't use it.

D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cooljo555:
I'm in the same boat, by the way I use this tab everyday almost all day and after this V2 uprgade this thing is noticeably faster especially with the animations speeded up
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jarrettv:
sorry pal, didn't mean to be rude. I appreciate all your effort but the custom theme breaks all android UI recommendations:

http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design.html

Therefore all the icons look out of place since they don't follow guidelines.

Can you kindly suggest a place I can find a unthemed EI04 ROM?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
Well, based on the number of downloads vs. number of problems, I would say maybe re-download. If it were broken, I would expect to hear more about it.

I only have one tab, and it works great here. If you look at the updated screen shot of the phone info, I'm running it just fine.

D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
Okay, kernel issues. I think doing a wipe with the new kernel is the problem.

If you have time to test:

Backup your data if you need it.

Install new kernel, do not wipe. Did it boot?

Wipe and reboot.

If it does not boot, reinstall the original kernel.

Did it boot?

After setting up, reinstall new kernel, no wipe.

Did it boot?

I think this is an issue with the boot animation not stopping.

I will look into it.

D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tombepa:
I tried that both ways last night, but, I had downloaded the kernel while I was at work on my tab and didnt check md5 when I got home. I will go check it out
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cooljo555:
It is possible to work in a reboot option in the power off menu?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tombepa:
ok, MD5 matches perfectly.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bbgt2:
Finally a dev that is willing to make our VZW tabs better, thank you for your work and effort. Will try it out.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cooljo555:
That blows, patiently waiting calender and contacts fix, u should probably take down the link for the kernel so noone else does the same. Also, how can i donate to the cause?

The camera doesnt work in 180 lcd density but when i use the scanlife app it brings up the camera no problem, probably because it doesnt call the camera app like my pdf scanner app that i use, not sure if this helps or if u are even looking into this but its worth a shot.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] RandomGuy982:
Ok, I'm not new to voodoo by no means, but it seems that this initial boot is taking longer than normal. It's been 20 mins. Should I reflash the kernel?

I'm looking forward to solidification of this new Kernel/ROM combo. I was somewhat happy with my Voodoo Kernel w/ Stock ROM (w/ many market mods) until the update available crap started.

Why is there no option to tell VZW to go away and leave me alone? I've got 100's of apps and things are "just the way I want." I think I'm ready for another blog entry....

my url is not safe for kids.... www.everyonewillfudgeyou.com Which word should change?

Back to topic. Looking forward to this ROM. So happy someone is working on VZW Tabs.

Much thanks.

Anybody else having trouble downloading from the market? I keep getting : "App" could not be downloaded due to an error. I've cleared cache, dalvik cache, restored defaults, fixed permissions, etc... all to no avail. Any clue to why that's happening?

[edit] Google talk authentication kept failing, so i used another account and that fixed it. Weird

[edit2] I was able to download a few things from the market with the new account, but then it started that google talk authentication failed thing again. Anybody else having this problem?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] scumfromohio:
Hey guys i flashed the files in Heimdall then got stuck and the android screen. I powered it off after about 10 minutes and lady robot voice said voodoo lag fix was enabled and went into recovery which was stock android blue recovery and tried wiping cache and data still stuck at android screen. I flashed every file in heimdall according to the instructions and the kernel from the kernel zip. I was rooted stock with khasmeks voodoo plus 5 kernel before this. I had given up on roms for my tablet until i seen this haha everytime i flashed one i would be good for a few days then i'd get a bunch of force closes and have to start from scratch. Any idea on what im doing wrong?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Jacklad:
Don't know if it helps, but when I first flashed I had a multitude of weirdness - no lockscreen, settings missing - after reflash all was well - also, I have in the past cured Market problems by clearing the cache in app manager, if you haven't tried that already -
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Jacklad:

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cooljo555:
Sounds like ur flashing the custom kernel and not the one packaged with v2, try redownloading the v2 file and use only the files in there and make sure you factory wipe after installing otherwise u will get all kinds of force closes, by habit I always flash the factory rom back before I try a new rom anyways just to make sure all goes well
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cooljo555:
I had this problem the first time I installed v2 from v1, i ended up going back to factory gb rom with heimdall then installed this rom and problem free since
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rustyshack3:
If you use the kernel in the cubed package, it works fine. If you try to use the cubed package and the separate kernel, it breaks. I see that the link for that kernel has been taken down.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] scumfromohio:
Got it muchas gracias man it was the kernel thing...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
Seems VZW lied to me about how long it would take to get my tab.

I'll be back when it is.

They say 10 days at most.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] prscott1:
D, could you tell me what version of CWM you have included?

I had some problems with my wifi erroring out and then superuser crashed and nothing would fix it. I used CWM to restore a backup I had but now I have lost CWM recovery (that is, when I try to reboot to recovery from within CWM I get the standard recovery and not CWM). It is very confusing to say the least. I found a tar of cwm recovery 5.0.2.7 and was going to flash the zImage and recovery.bin from that tar but wanted to check with you first.

TIA.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rustyshack3:
I had to factory reset, and then I skipped the option to integrate with Google Backup when I set the market back up. Not sure which did the trick, but I have read on other forums that simply doing a factory reset did not help. Funny thing was, by NOT integrating with Google Backup, the market found all of the apps I had ever installed and started restoring them automatically.

---------- Post added at 07:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 AM ----------

This is a known issue. Doesnt matter which rom you are on, the default camera app doesnt work with any density below 190.

Does anyone know if the voice in the kernel is available somewhere for TTS?:confused: It would be awesome to have that voice for navigation and Jeannie(Voice Actions).

Hey the Galaxy cubed development is great,like the transitions, my initial experience was that it was a average in its speed so I flashed it via SGS kernel flasher, used the sprint kernel from Firmware version: 2.3.4.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rustyshack3:
I think the problem may be with the bootanimation, not the kernel.

If you don't have a bootanimation.zip present, it just loops with the generic ANDROID animation. I can tell that it boots up though because my hotspot says my tab has connected. I also noticed that the bootanimation you linked to seems to have something wrong with it. I can't open it up like a normal zip file.

I tried downloading another one, and it goes, but just loops. I then read how to change the looping behavior of the bootanimation, but I think it isn't right because when I reboot with the edited bootanimation it just shows a blank screen while booting up and stays blank even after it has finished booting up.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cooljo555:
Thank you for this, 190 worx just fine for layout and camera for me now, I could have sworn I was running oldmacnuts c&p rom at 180 with no cam problems but I could be wrong.
