[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaymaj:
I have the G Tablet with the Zpad dock running Vegan. Love the ROM and it runs great. I just recently hooked it up via HDMI to my LCD TV (why I waited who knows), but I have a basic question:

Can I turn off the G Tab display while docked?

I want to hook up a bluetooth keyboard and basically pass signal to the TV, and I don't want the unit display on if possible. No big deal, but just wondering if any of you guys have a solution?

Thanks!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sithrebel15:
Not as far as i know. Im sure somone who knows java could write an app for it.

But why do you want the display off? You could put it in a media cabinet or maybe behind your tv if its the light that bothers you.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvmedina20:
can you help me. I have the dock and my gtab (running smooth_bean rom). but when I plugged in the HDMI my tv wouldnt recognize it. what settings do we have to change on the rom so the tv recognizes the tablet??? Thanks

Hi,

I've been trying to install the new sense 3.5roms, cool sense 3D v2 and v3 but Im always stuck with a bootloop. I flashed cm7r2, alpharev s-off n all that stuff..also created an ext4 partition on my 2gb card. 1gb ext4+ fat32, I did a full wipe, flashed the rom using clockwork recovery then I flashed the ext4 alignment zip, and rebooted. But it boots n keeps flashing the HTC screen, can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It should be FAT32+EXT not EXT+FAT32, so hope you got that right.

Also those alignment zips ar more trouble than they are worth.

As per my signature, I would always recommend using Gparted for partitioning. This would be a good oppurtunity to get used to it as you are going to need to check your SD card and partitions are OK anyway
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahsaanh:
minitool does fine with ext3.. but ext 4.. ALWAYS bootloopin... wonder what the prob is.. im trying sebastian 15 runnymede 5.0 with ext n cant get past white htc screen.

used minitool for ext4 then.. got it to bootloop.. runnymedemod007 worked fine with ext3 (also created using minitool)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I wasn't refering to the mini tool bit, but it is indeed a big pile of crap. Works for some not for others.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] G1-Amateur:
Hi,

I was wondering if there is a decent explanation why there are no apps which enable push-notification such as WhatsApp, but for the HTC Diamond 2?

Grtz,
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] G1-Amateur:
Anyone knows what push notifications are? Or should I explain?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] G1-Amateur:
Nobody?

Alright all you XDA SGT users I humbly submit my custom ROM!

This is the first release of the AlienInc Roms rightly named 1n1tia|C0ntact. Inside you will find themed UI, wallpaper (please note the new live wallpaper "Node Battle"), some of my favorite apks, debloated and ready to roll. Oh yeah you will also notice in the screen shots the Over Clocked/Under Volted kernel. I baked in a super stable and very snappy kernel built by Rodderik called LiquidTab. I'm very sure you will enjoy that!

Features:RFS and EXT4 support

Up to 1.2GHz Overclock/undervolt support with Voodoo Support (use voltage control baked in ROM or DL from market)

Custom Theme and UI

Custom Charger sounds

LauncherPro baked in along with touchwiz for your pleasure

Debloated and snappy

working screen capture using stock ROM features(no need for clunky 3rd party stuff)

Evernote

Fancy Widgets

Dropbox

AdAway

ES File Explorer

MyBackup Root

Disclaimer: As with everything else you have found on XDA, neither the staff nor I am responsible for anything that you do to your tab or for anything these files may do to your equipment. All I am able to tell you is that this worked perfectly on my SGT and has worked perfectly on others...no reason to think it will not work on yours.

Recognition section: Obviously big thanks goes to Rodderik for the work done in the "mega thread" and for letting me use his new kernel he is working in my ROM

Insanity213-big help getting me going

S0ckM0nk3y-im off the bench now man! thanks for your help!

Computerkid-all sorts of great input, if you have an epic try his roms

jocala-thanks for testing!

XXCoder - sweet live wallpaper thanks for the tip ;)

Ok so here's the lowdown:

1)visit Rodderik's thread and get your tab in flashing order LINK: [SPRINT][CDMA]Samsung Galaxy Tab (SPH-P100) Mega Development Starter Thread - best case scenario would be to walk through his thread completely first then flash my ROM over top. I recommend you convert to EXT4 to get your speed on

2) download my ROM Mirror or MAIN DOWNLOAD

3) flash via your newly installed CWM

a) you know the drill on the 2 finger boot into recovery(volume up and power; hold volume up until you see CWM).

b) wipe cache x3, wipe data x3, wipe dalvik cache x3 ( no reason to worry about losing any info because you just followed Rodderik's install process, right?)

c) select install zip from sd and choose the file

4) ROM will reboot and you will be off to a fresh start

5) tell your friends about how fun and fast this ROM is

ENJOY!

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pvtjoker42:
Looks interesting. Might just tempt me away from CM7 for a couple days...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lazeballz:
Seeing as how no one responded yet...ill be the first public viewer to respond and flash. =)

downloading as we speak
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
Thanks...let me know if you have any questions!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lazeballz:
Heyy no worries. it flashed with success. Will be reporting back after a few hours. So far, so good. My real test consists of opening PDFs and other ebooks.

Thanks for developing on the CDMA/Sprint side.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
Sure thing! So did you convert up to EXT4?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lazeballz:
I did...or so i think i did, via option 2 on the prereq page (Mega starter etc etc).

I ended up using the kernel with EXT4 and CWM. I checked to see if CWM was installed, which it was...so as far as EXT4 being converted, would their be a real test or for me to know for sure?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17817306&postcount=5

So if you read through this post you will see the cwm flashable conversion tools. You can do it anytime. You will notice a difference. Things will be noticably snappy.

Thanks for flashing!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lazeballz:
One last thing. It mentioned all those apps on the ROM...however I didn't see em.

going under About my GalaxyTab

Kernel states 2.6.35.7

build

1n1tia|C0ntact_V1

did i do something wrong?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
Hrm all that looks right. Let me look deeper into that.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lazeballz:
Ahh don't worry. After I remanded everything came up.

Ext4 =snappy & launcher pro prompt came up.

It threw me off, as your screen shot looked like mine initially, but now launcher pro came up

Im dissapointed its not a honeycomb release, but this thing FLIES.....ZOMFFFFFGGGGG
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] S0ckM0nk3y:
Congrats brother good stuff wish I had a 7" tab to try this out
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fallguy0980:
sooo

Quick question, would this work on a galaxy tab sch-i800? and does 3g work with this rom?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
I've never tried it on a verizon tab, but I've heard you can flash cdma roms across those carriers. 3g works on sprint on this rom. If you flash it on your verizon the 3g won't work, your tab will be wifi only. Again, I've not tested it personally. Give it a shot and report back to us if you want.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bigtoysrock:
New to the tablet end of android. But does theme chooser work on tablet roms? I know it need to be baked in. But just curious to know if the app would even work on a tablet, let alone the themes?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
man to be honest I'm not sure...sorry.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mentose457:
Anyone flash this over cm7 yet?

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

It is functioning in jt's cm7.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kevalin:
Hi, Folks,

I am very excited about the possibilities of this rom... but have what may be a stupid question, so apologies in advance.

I read earlier in this thread that some folks are using their Sprint tabs solely on wifi. But I have read elsewhere that the Sprint Galaxy Tab 7 doesn't have a provision for choosing WiFi-only when you initially set it up. Instead, it insists that you insert the appropriate SIM card to use it, which, being on AT&T, I don't have.

I'm asking because I want to buy a used Galaxy Tab for watching movies and doing a bit of surfing, and this rom sounds like it will let me upgrade/play with it like I want to. The Sprint Tabs seem to be both the most plentiful and the least expensive, but if I buy one, will I be able to set it up as wifi-only so I can actually flash this rom, once I get the chance? Have I been mislead in general about the ability to make a Sprint Tab Wifi-only when I turn it on?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pupochek:
It can not insist on inserting a SIM card cause there is nowhere to insert it, its CDMA and does not use sims. I use it with this rom as wifi only (i am on att) just by turning on airplane mode and wifi. (Got mine for 130)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kevalin:
Ha... shows you what I know about CDMA. :eek:

Thanks for the answer though... guess I'm getting me a new Tab!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] RandomKing:
Likewise here on the previous answer. After entering the Tab into Airplane mode, wifi turns on no problem. Battery is astounding without a 3G signal (which I have no plan for) running in the background... ;)

I've been developing and flashing my new rom versions no problem on my Sprint tab. Hopefully I'll be able to throw a few new features Tpike's way and make this forum finally grow with new roms! First things first, I FINALLY built in the 1% battery mod! Ah it's nice to see a real battery percentage...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
haha, im glad to see you getting right in!! i actually have a bat mod i pulled off another xda user(will disclose his name when rom is released). i spent an excitingly large amount of my time playing with my kids over christmas so i dont have much to show for rom wise. im almost done theming framework...there are bunch of pngs in there.

thanks for your patience and understanding as i wrap this thing up.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] adrian2pm:
yes you can. i bought mine used and the person had it still have balance due ...i am using the tab as wifi. got it for 150
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jslcpd157:
Havent seen this posted in this thread, so either I'm the only one experiencing it, or I overlooked it.

I've noticed that the buttons on the bottom (home, menu, search, back... I'm sure theres a technical term for them, I just dont know it! :)) light up at some point while the tabs asleep, and stay lit up until I wake it and put it back to sleep. Its caused quite a battery drain! I havent been able to figure out what causes them to light up yet, and I'm sure that would help figure out the problem.... But, any ideas??

BTW, I absolutely LOVE this rom!! Thats the only issue I have had thus far! After I installed this rom, it was like a brand new tab!! Thanks for all your hard work!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bigtoysrock:
Next time it happens look and see if you have a notification. If I remember right it has BLN.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jslcpd157:
Actually, I had thought maybe thats what was causing it possibly. Any way to disable that?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
If you disable notifications the blinking will stop. Maybe we need some setting to disable sounds and/or lights...framework mod me thinks.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jslcpd157:
Downloaded BLN-control from the market. We'll see if that fixes it!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jslcpd157:
I use mine as WiFi only as well. The only thing that happens is when you first turn the device on, it will tell you that you need to activate it with Sprint... Just hit "cancel" at the bottom and youre good to go! Then, after you root your tab, go and delete that pesky little file that keeps prompting you to activate everytime you restart your device! :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
Keep me posted on your developments :p
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] RandomKing:
Modifying the power menu proved not as clean to translate from the Galaxy S as I'd hoped.

So far my rom is almost themed how I like it. Has my 1% battery mod. Blah ditty blah stuff. Not too much exciting that I've found yet.

I'm trying to port different mods that I've applied to my phone, to the tablet.

It really is a shame development never took off for this device, it's a nice machine.

If anyone has a lead on modifying the power menu that's closer than me starting from scratch, I'm all ears. Otherwise, I'll be finishing up the best I can and testing it later tonight to see if I'm even close! I need a reboot button! :-D

I'll share it here if I get it to work. :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pupochek:
FWIW, after installing this ROM (following the instructions in the OP), I never was prompted for any activations, didn't have to delete any files...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Retiredfinally:
BLN Control did it, thanks! :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
Starting from scratch was all i found and i book marked the link and put it on the back burner...sorry :D. ive gotten most of my technical stuff done, its just not themed like i want it to be. Random as you well know, its not difficult to theme it just takes a LONG time to do it right. wouldnt it be nice Random if some of these talented flashers would get their 7zip and paint.net out and change some pngs??? :p

this device is very nice. my only wish is that the android to windows server speed bumps were smoothed out(it works but is clunky for a daily driver). id love to join this to my domain at work and toss my lappy out the window.

PS thank you all for being so willing to give my ROM a try, its very encouraging to have a peaceful polite community to develop for. i have seen some nasty stuff happen on some threads. Thanks being great!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jslcpd157:
BLN control worked for me as well!! No more dead battery!! :)

Thanks again tpike for all your hard work!! It is most definitely appreciated. I only wish I had the time/brains/gumption to learn Android programming!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
Well, working on GPS for the Epic 4G Touch is done....by Samsung so I'll have one less focus. I need some help making update.zip on Ubuntu. Everything I can find to help me is for Windows. I started out making a factoryfs.rfs last summer, but that's a real bummer. It's debloated, but thats all. And not debloated enough; still some sprint stuff to remove. And I don't do graphics...I got some books tho! and some Wiki's! and irc cough cough, if anyone wants to walk me through the update.zip...as for the power menu: maybe it would work best if the framework was updated to tw4, then try and use the one from the E4GT forum by the ACS crew. It's an idea. I might have some more ideas after I read the first 100 pages of the JAVA manual.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kevalin:
Thanks, I will take this information into consideration--as soon as I manage to get a used Tab that isn't defective!

Bought a "Mint" Tab through a trusted seller on ebay, as I've always had good luck with used/refurbished items bought from there. The tab looks great, but the previous owner's account is still on it and is undeletable, even using factory reset. Or rooting. Or installing roms over top of it. Turns out that this is a factory defect that Samsung has historically resolved by replacing the defective units. :mad:

As you can imagine, I'm returning it and ordering another... after asking a few pertinent questions of the potential sellers. So I'm still waiting to test this rom. Hopefully not for much longer.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
doing some testing today...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rjumawan:
How do you change the boot animation. I still have sprint booting up. I did as instructed in other forums. Dl and moved to system / media. Am I doing something wrong. All your help would be great thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
Kernel doesn't support bootani sorry
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kevalin:
Which pesky little file would that be? The "Activation not completed" notice keeps appearing, and its getting on my nerves.

As you can see... finally got my Tab. :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zentex:
I would like to see CIQ gone from this ROM...until then there isn't much de-bloating that's been done :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
Ok
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] metac0m:
I followed your instructions in the OP and it works like a charm. The only thing I would like to see changed at the moment would be Carrier IQ removed and no custom UI or sounds. Thanks for the great work!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
Working on some more custom stuff at the moment. Ciq is low on my list, but I'd anyone wants to get involved in pulling it out of the individual apks i would love the help and i know Randomking would too.

Thanks for trying my ROM!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] metac0m:
I've been using you ROM for sometime now and I love it. The only issue that I've been having is with the music player. Whenever I play music it works fine until a little after the screen turns off. A few minutes after the screen turns off and I'm listening to music my Tab freezes. None of the buttons work and the sound skips until I press and hold down the power button to reboot my Tab. I've tried different music players, PowerAMP , PlayerPRO, and the built-in Android Music Player, but I still have the same problem.

Please help! I listen to music almost everyday on my way to and from work. It would be nice to finally listen to my music again, but I guess I'll have to keep on reading my ebooks until some type of resolution can be found.

Other than that, your ROM has made my Tab a lot faster and given it better battery life. :D Keep up the good work and I hope to hear back from ya.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
Man i hate to hear that. I don't think i will have time to test that this weekend. Never noticed it personally, anyone else care to confirm the issue?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gshadow325:
might be a little late but here is the guide to remove it...

*I believe you need to be ROOTED before doing this.

1) I used Root explorer and went to:

/system/app/

2) put the folder in R/W mode (look at top for button)

3) now look for -

sprintadroidextension.apk

4) long hold press it, either copy it and paste it in another folder as backup.

5) go back to /system/app/ and long hold press sprintadroidextension.apk

again and Delete it.

6) put the folder back in R/O mode.

Now restart and you should not see anymore activation messages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =]

So i know its been a while since the original rom release, but i did want to drop in an update. im in the process of building ics from source tonight. there is not telling how long it will take me as this is my first time building from source. i did want to post an update though. hopefully things will go well :)

thanks for hanging around.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Dmaxx67:
So the next one will be ics...very nice!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
Well i can say I'm not interested in finishing my second gb ROM. I'm running a version of ics now, but its more of a beta, and not mine. Hopefully the build will go well.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DaKillaWilla:
Does this rom use the same kernel as rod's or did u compile your own?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
The gingerbread ROM I'm this thread runs Rodderik's liquid tab kernel. The last time he and i talked he wasn't putting time into ics. We all hope that changes in the future :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DaKillaWilla:
Hey tpike, I been scouring the tab forums for custom sprint roms. Seems like your the only one that made one. Am I right about that?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
RandomKing made one. He and I were talking back in January about trying to port over some stuff like power option etc and hit some major roadblocks. There are not many thats for sure.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
so the first build was a no go. not giving up yet.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] neuteboomt:
Good that you are not giving up!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] javi_emma:
I changed the wallpaper that comes default with the rom and now i cant seem to find it. Any idea how i can restore it?. Also, how can i take screenshots?

Thanks for the great rom!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
here is a link to the wallpaper, Brought to you by Dropbox.

As for the screenshot you should be able to do that by holding the home button and the power button at the same time.

thanks for running my rom and let me know if your issues continue.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] RobSalgado:
Tpike, i still dont use your rom, but i want it. My tab is still virgin, and i don't know how root it.

Where i can find the" total guide" forma install your rom from zero?

(I know something about flashing, i have a SGS2, and, you know...)

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
Hopefully you are familiar with Odin. I would go http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17817293&postcount=3 and download the kernel and then follow these steps

1. Download the zip package from above.

2. Put the Tab into download mode by powering it completely off and then turn it on while holding the volume down button until the yellow download mode screen appears.

2. Extract the zip and open Odin. The first ID:COM box should turn yellow. If it does not turn yellow then check your driver installation.

3. Uncheck EVERYTHING except "Auto Reboot". If you are re-partitioning with the .pit file then check "Re-Partition" as well.

4. Click PDA and select the tar file you downloaded.

5. Hit start and wait until the device reboots and Odin says "PASS!".

in the link above you are downloading a prerooted kernel. whats nice about that is no matter what ROM you are on you will retain root.

after you have that new kernel in you will be able to flash stuff like my rom with ease through cwm.

please let me know if anything is confusing about these instructions.

hope this helps.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] neuteboomt:
tpike.. any update on your work with ICS?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tpike:
No, thanks for asking. Been running jt's build on rootzwiki. that's what I'm going to try to build. Been busy :) hope to try to build again this weekend.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] RobSalgado:
Tpike, I really appreciate your help and i'm sure that i'll try your advice.

But my Tab is serveral laggy, and I was checking that i'm still into the guarranty. I wanna try that. But if they dont wanna receive it (lol) i'll follow your advice in a few days.

Sincerly thanks!
