[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] PookiePrancer:
Hey guys! I've had a VZW Tab since they first came out. Last update I did was to EC02, and I rooted that with Superoneclick. Never installed Clockwork because I didn't understand the bootstrap issue, and read about a lot of people soft-bricking their Tabs. Wasn't much point in it anyway, since there were no roms at the time anyway. I can flash my Evo and my 10.1 all day long, but the old Tab just scares the crap out of me.

I want to give this a try, and have read the whole thread, but want to run my gameplan by you guys to make sure I understood what I need to do correctly. I'm going to:

1. Unroot

2. Apply stock update

3. Download Heimdall and unzip

4. Install drivers from Heimdall

5. Load this rom through Heimdall

Is that about right?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
Yes, it looks right.

If you have adb installed, I would recommend you run his backup script from the first post both before and after you apply the stock update. You do that from your PC with your tab connected and run the batch from a command window. It produces backup files that can be used in heimdall to easily go back to where you were before flashing. It backs up everything except your data. After installing this ROM, you will also have clockworkmod so you can backup everything from there, including data. If this ROM does not work out for you, you can use dsb9938's stock vanilla rooted ROM (just search for his thread) to get a rooted EI04 (via heimdall).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] PookiePrancer:
Great! I'll give it a shot. Seems like there's enough people here that seem to be helpful if I get stuck.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jferg5:
Awesome. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] PookiePrancer:
Okay. I unrooted, and applied the Verizon update to 2.3.5. Downloaded and installed proper drivers. Tried to start into the Heimdall thing, and I'm afraid the ReadMe is far from idiot-proof. I'm trying to download the PIT file through the utilities tab, but other than "device detected," I have no option for downloading any sort of file.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
You have to go to options in Zadig and check "list all devices" and may have to uncheck "input hubs or composite parents". Also make sure you are using heimdall 1.1.1. You should not have any references to pit files. There is no utilities tab in 1.1.1. Obviously you are using heimdall 1.3.1 and it does not work with the files dsb9938 supplied. (you edited your post halfway through my answering it.)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] PookiePrancer:
Yes, I'm sorry. I got the drivers installed finally, but I'm afraid you're right about the PIT. Even though I finally managed to download that, the Heimdall ReadMe starts wandering off about partitions and re-naming partitions, and leaves you hanging about what to do with the pit file. Thank goodness I just read your reply, though, so I now have to find 1.1.1!

Man, I hope this is worth it! My wife will be pissed if I brick what's now become HER Tab :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
Go here:

http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/

and look at the bottom for 1.1.1 for windows or whatever operating system you have.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] PookiePrancer:
Got it. Definitely simpler interface! Flashed, rebooted, and now getting all the FC's as expected. Time to wipe. Thanks, man! You saved me from the disaster I was about to get into. I'm going to bed right now, but shoot me your PayPal account in a PM, and I'll buy you lunch!

Recovery didn't seem to flash; I'll try that again tomorrow by itself.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
Actually after flashing you have two recoveries. The stock recovery is the one accessed with the volume up/power on. The CWM recovery can only be accessed by software on your system. You need third party software like ROM Manager or some other boot management software to get into it. Dsb9938 may have included some software in the ROM.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] PookiePrancer:
Yes, found it this morning when I finally started to look around the rom. This is niiiiiice!!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] PookiePrancer:
Donation sent, dsb. Thanks again for taking the time to do this for us!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] iamodogg:
I know this is a noobish question. (hate starting that way). But i'm stuck and frustrated.

I haven't flashed my SGT for ages.. and when I did before, you put different files in different places in heimdall. Now it really has one place, but when i drop the file there it doesn't like it.. It seems its looking for a tar.gz. So, I'm stuck and the "bible" for SGT doesn't lead me down the right path either.

I have searched like hell to figure this out. I know it must be annoying to read this but please help! I am sure its common sense to the regulars, because I see nobody else asking.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
You are using the wrong version of heimdall. You need to use version 1.1.1. See my post above on how to get it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] iamodogg:
Awesome. Thanks! Flashed with no issues.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] PookiePrancer:
Two issues?

First, I can't seem to get the app drawer to display anything other than a 4x4 grid properly. And to get that, I have to have the drawer set to 5x5. But if f I choose 5x6, for example, I get 5 columns, and three full rows, plus a fourth row with only one column. And it's that way on every drawer page.

I'm thinking ADW could take care of that, so it's not a huge deal, but just wondering.

Second, does the included kernel support Voodoo sound? I open the app, and it says the kernel doesn't.

Wallpaper Reverts back to last one used

Thank you for your work. I installed just fine. I do not think this has to do with the install, but did not know where to ask. After reboot, the home screen wallpaper looks just it should, but the wall paper always changes back to the wallpaper I used before I installed your work. If you know how to stop this from happening would you please let me know? I will donate to you. I know I can change it to something else, but that is not a fix. I have installed your work several times and it happens every time. I tried another ROM and it happens with that one too. Thank you. I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dr_gibberish:
One thought is that it may be an app you have installed that is doing this. I used to use an app called wallpaper switcher that would keep changing wallpapers even when it was supposed to be shut off. Anything like that installed?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jferg5:
so i just flashed cubed, everything went fine, wiped after flash. tw would only give me 2 slots that i couldn't change, and my wifi keeps kicking in and out. i have flashed it 4 times now and the same problems everytime. any ideas on what to do?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cooljo555:
Are you enabling the Google backup to resetup ur settings after a factory reset? I find that the wallpaper does what u described if that feature is used.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Funzy32:
I just installed this and everything is great. Except Facebook keeps saying Authentication Failed. Its is correct. When I got the tab, It had a black Facebook App. I re-installed this rom and now its a blue app as normal. Anybody know anything about this? Any help would be great.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] o2sys:
Been using this Rom for a while and is pretty damn stable!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] basia314:
sorry for noob question but what slot do you place the backup script in??
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
You don't use the backup script in heimdall. It is intended to be used in a command prompt window on your PC. ADB must be installed on your PC before the script can be used.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] basia314:
thank you sir!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] o2sys:
But Im running 1Ghz, if I overclock, the ROM freezes completely.

I have a noob question. You see this image that i circle in Green. How can i move the apps or make changes in to this areas in this roms.. Thank you
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rayzryd266:
I believe you go to your home screen, open the app drawer then hit the menu button. From there you should be able to move/change those icons. I'm trying to go on memory as I no longer have this rom installed, so let us know if it works.

Problem flashing stock kernel (from VZW "Stock+Root Vanilla" ROM)

Unsuccessful flashing attempts to stock/DJ11 kernel, starting with [ROM][CDMA/VZW][2.3.5]Stock+Root Vanilla ROM.

Returning Tab to stock/DJ11 was required, before I could successfully flash VZW Stock+Root Vanilla ROM. Had I known both updates/patches had to be allowed to run to update the radio, I'd have run them, then; but I didn't, and immediately flashed the Stock+Root Vanilla ROM. Now, for the purpose of updating modem, I have been unable to return kernel to stock.

Kernel version (after attempted stock flash) displays as:

2.6.32.9

root@sep-40 #3

with baseband and build:

S:I800.0.3V.DJ11

SCH-I800.DJ11

This appears to be the same situation mentioned by tonygomez23 at:

xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1338413.html

Accordingly, I RE-downloaded original firmware (from location mentioned in reply by southmc).

In this download, factoryfs.rfs (apparently) matches system.rfs (exact same size); however, again flashing the specified files does not eliminate "...root@sep-40 #3" kernel annotation...even worse, not only doesn't the 34.6MB EC02/update complete, after unsuccessfully running, update status then indicates system is up to date...at DJ11...??).

What [additional/?] files need to be flashed to REALLY return Tab kernel to stock...considering aforementioned Stock+Root Vanilla ROM anomaly?

The 200+ MB firmware download includes the following files:

ldb.db

boot.bin

pit.pit

param.lfs

param.rfs

Sbl.bin

efs.rfs

zImage

modem.bin

cache.rfs

dbdata.rfs

factoryfs.rfs

Would flashing additional files...other than just:

zImage (kernel & recovery)

system/factoryfs.rfs (factoryfs)

param.lfs (param.lfs)

cache.rfs (cache)

work...or what??

I had to go back to stock root GB ROM. Things were so slow to open and the last 'straw' was something went wrong and two times in one day it went thru 100% battery twice in less than an hour. you could actually watch the percentage drop about every 45 seconds.

finally got through to Cube version - had to flash it twice, but now i am booted and running!

noticed that Google Talk is not working - doesnt force close, just giggles screen and doesnt open.

I also noticed that Nova and LetsGolf are still installed, but no icons exist for them anywhere.

I found the original APK in /preinstall folder, but reinstalling them doesnt make icons appear in apps. You can uninstall them though.

I have rewiped cache and reformated data and now everything seems to be working fine, Gtalk starts and logs in, no other issues.

So I am wondering, now that the device is rooted - can I flash into ICS rom? In the ICS thread they specifically say I should use CWM 5.0.2.7 and the Cube'ed rom comes with 4.x.

Avoid AIRPLANE mode to reduce ACORE process FCing

Not that I'm aware of; however, Cubed ROM doesn't seem to handle AIRPLANE mode well (at least not on my TAB)...meaning, the incidence of ACORE FC is significantly less without AIRPLANE mode.

BTW, the GO CONTACTS EX app does work well, including Google contacts (necessary for "automated" texting with voice command).

I am trying to flash this ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 (SHC-1800) from Verizon with no luck. I open zadig and that goes fine but when I add all the files on Heimdall and press Start it tells me that it failed. I attached a screenshot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You don't say whether you put your Tab in download mode. Did you? Hold the volume down and power keys as you boot. My windows PC gives me a little sound when I do that and everything is set up properly.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
I don't mean what the Tab shows, I want to know if your PC is connecting it properly. There should be a confirmation beep and the symbol in the tray should say something about being connected to something (I don't remember the exact wording).

Same here. I can't figure it out and I've been looking g for the firmware but can't find it.

I could use some feedback about the update.

Do you guys like the CWM App?

Do you like the way I themed the few apps I did?

I need to know if it's worth getting into the guts of this thing, or if I'm just doing it to kill time.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] laihafloyd:
I definitely like the theming... I ended up having to full wipe because of a bunch of force closes on the Samsung stock launcher, most likely from my trying to install tw4 before the update and screwing something up. I still can't get a fully working tw4, but arc launcher works great.

Anyway, thanks for spending your time on this project! Its very much appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
This is my first TW device, I think getting a good updated port might be best done by snatching from the new 7" tab about to come out. In Thunderbolt land we have a couple guys who get us leaks, is there anybody in Samsung land like that? A place I should be looking?

Wishlist

This is a killer ROM..... The joys of customization and also having everything work as planned. Am I entitled to a wishlist??

- Is it possible to change the LCD density to 180 and be able to have the icons stretched to full screen in the app drawer and also utilize the entire desktop with icons with the default TW launcher. I know i can switch to ADW but if touchwix would scale with a smaller lcd density, it would be sweet.

- Is it possible to have CWM bootable when powered off instead of only from the OS?? I know this is still a step in the right direction compared to what we did have by far!!

- And of course..... is there an OC kernel in the works for this rom??

AWESOME work on this!!! Thanks again for making things right with the tab dev world.
