This...

I should have checked to see which version of android you are on.

Going from froyo to ics is not recommended. Froyo to GB (using overcome) is the Best bet, I agree.

what im doing is flashing the stock rogers GB, then OC, then ICS. it says to use hemidall in the stock rogers ROM files.

EDIT: didnt work. got past the samsung logo, and was in boot screen. but it just hangs there

found my stock firmware on samfirmware.com, and do a flash. hopefully it will work again. im done for the night though,

just got this tablet last night, and its already broken.....

I now know how to make a zImage. I need it because the ZIP with boot.img doesn't boot, while a zImage boots just fine. I notice the boot.img is not very big, 6.8 MB, whereas it should be 10 MB. This indicates a problem with initramfs? I just do repo sync, and build. Could anybody please tell me how to get a valid boot.img including initramfs? Do I need to change something in a file somewhere?

And if I get a valid boot.img, what should I do with it? Flash it with Heimdall? Or can I just rename it to zImage, and create a CWM ZIP with it?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] joeyxl:
Dude, the sick gb image worked! Thanks alot. I think I'll stay away from anymore flashing! (rooting is an exception)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] _Derk_:
Just stick closely to the guides - then it works perfectly :D

Bye,

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] slimdizzy:
Basically try to end up with what my builds are like. Boot.img is the new zImage so to speak. Use the same script found in my zip. Sounds like your git copy is not syncing. Are you doing a build clean after sync? Butya you can always make a boot.img from your zimage.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ableeker:
Thanks, slimdizzy! But how do I create a build like yours? Last night I did

build clean

rm -r kernel

repo sync

./build.sh p1 eng

After it had finished building, boot.img was 6.8 MB.

If you install the ZIP from CWM, is it supposed to install a kernel? I watched the messages when it was installing, and there was no mention of a kernel.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] joeyxl:
yeah you got that right. after i flash the kernel and the OC 4, ill look into the flashing gude for this rom that humberos kindly made!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] slimdizzy:
The boot.img is your kernel and the install script isn't calling out when it does stuff but you can see if you open it up in the folder in your CMW zip
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayysir:
nice to see aokp in sgt7 git now
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ableeker:
This kernel will be the end of me! I've nuked my entire tree, and started all over again. The scripts have been moved, so I created a new ZIP by running scripts/build.sh p1 eng. No problem. Then I tried scripts/build_kernel.sh p1, but this aborted almost immediately with error No rule to make target `p1_cm9_defconfig'.

The old way, make in kernel/kernel/samsung/p1 aborted with error drivers/media/video/samsung/fimc/fimc_capture.c:1003: error: 'mbus_fmt' undeclared (first use in this function).

To Remember

When my Tab P1000 don't start because I blocked it I made always this:

(attached files)

1. On file Odin.exe we double click.

2. Whit the tab to turned off. Hold the Power and Volume down button at the same time and it will have a android guy in a triangle w/ a shovel and hook it up to your computer. This is the download mode. On Odin we see a yellow note of a comxx port.

3. In the PDA section of odin we place the kernel .tar file (after unzip it).

4. We make sure repartition is not selected.

5. Hit start and it will flash the kernel.

6. Power off the Tab.

After this we can enter on Recovery (power and vol up).

Worked always for me.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ableeker:
The problem isn't that boot.img isn't created, by the way, the problem is that it doesn't work. I've flashed back to Overcome, and after that installed only the ROM and gapps from CWM. No problem. But when I reboot after this, the Tab hangs on the Galaxy Tab Samsung screen right at the start. If I then flash a kernel (zImage), the Tab boots and runs the ROM beautifully.

hey shady any idea whats up with this Syncing work tree: 7% (18/248) error: You have local changes to 'kernel'; cannot switch branches.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sbradymobile:
The kernel build script creates a new kernel file in device/samsung/galaxytab/. You can use git checkout on that file to return to the original.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] reddog69:
thanks man i will take a look if it wasnt for u guys we wouldnt be compiling our own ics
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] joeyxl:
so after installing OC 4.0, should i flash this ROM with the edited model config found in META-INF folder, then flash one of 3 modems he has listed, then the kernel, then gapps?

again, many thanks!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] _Derk_:
If you have a up and running OC, then no additional modem schould be neccessary. Just if you have issues you might change from one to another ;)

I use slims ROM which are without the need of additional kernal flashing for P1000 tabs and flash gapps afterwards.

First follow the guide to upgrade on Overcome - all needed files are linked there.

Then you are ready to flash an ICS ROM. Important is, that you look for a version with current CDMA kernel, which is the least updated one. When found flash ROM, then kernel, then gapps.

To search for a suitable ROM I would read this thread from here backwards!

Finally, after a long struggle and great risk (of a HARD brick), i got MTD working

MTD is an opensource driver for OneNAND, aka the phone's hard disk

Samsung uses their own propreitary closed source FSR driver (BML/STL) - we dont need it anymore

Expect a new release anytime on the 30th
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jeebspawnshop:
That's STELLAR work, man!

Congratulations are in order ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] adi6262:
I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS POSSIBLE , IF IT IS , I AM VERY SURE THESE VERY TALENTED DEVS WILL FIGURE IT OUT (^_^)

As android is Linux based , can we use 512 mb / a gig of our internal storage as swap partition ?

C desai just made a break through in drivers for tab's hard disk . (above post ) :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jeebspawnshop:
Since swap partitions are read/written to so much, it'll wear out our internal storage a lot faster than normal disk operations.

Thus, it would be ill-advised to implement such a swap... but then again, if people are willing to make that sacrifice, maybe it could be put in as a toggle option...?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayysir:
You mean march 1st?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] shazoom:
While what you write it's essentially correct, unless the wear leveling implemented for the NAND is very substandard, or there is an unexpected interaction with the new driver just announced, our NAND should last many years as swap in continuous use. I used one of the original Asus NetBook and then a Dell for a couple of years a piece with SSD hard drives. No problems with either and I didn't read of any on the Dell mini Ubuntu mailing list either.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] _Derk_:
It worked on the first versions I tested but it was said to use a lot of battery as the calling frequency was significantly higher in ICS. May be this is the reason that it got disabled until future/final release...?

Oh no!

Please don't wait til the 30th which would be in several years, or to be precise only after the switch to the Derk-Calendar in which all months have 30 days :D

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] espionage724:
Isn't zRAM essentially a swap partition? If it is, there's a configurable option for it either in Development or Performance section in settings
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jeebspawnshop:
Not really...

zram is just a portion of your existing RAM which is compressed to allow more to fit in there.

A swap partition is a direct extension of RAM, using your hard disk.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] espionage724:
Hmm, that's what I thought as well. I heard somewhere though that zram acted like a swap partition though

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

Awesome news :)

When you say a new release, do you mean a new public build? And also, is MTD on the git currently so that people who compile/try compiled CM9 can try it?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] theREDlegion:
DON'T FOLLOW THE OVERCOME GUIDE. It's for GSM devices. Links are broken in the VZW GB threads mostly because the megaupload servers are down for legal issues. You should attempt to get the official update, Verizon and Sprint updates don't work well with rooted devices. Have you ever flashed a custom ROM on your device or are you still on the "factory" firmware (as opposed to a "stock" ROM that came rooted). You need to go back to a completely stock state and try the update again. If you use the GB copy from the update you will need to convert your file system to ext4 before flashing ICS.

Or politely ask in one of those VZW threads for a mirror or if anybody has a copy of the GB custom roms.

DON'T FOLLOW THE OVERCOME GUIDE. Careful when telling people to flash things (I know you're trying to help), OVERCOME is for GSM models.

I'm trying to compile the build but it aborts when it's almost done with an ERROR 41, even after cleaning the build first. I'm not sure if this is related, but earlier I saw a warning that I'm not using the correct version of Java (I'm using 1.6._30 I believe). Earlier builds compiled succesfully.

Need some help from the community

Can u guys spare a minute to fill out this form?

http://goo.gl/QjuNm

It's ust the output of one command

This'll just let me know how much space of a certain partition (dbdata) is used so that we can adjust its size accordingly

(So that if it isnt used at all, we can just sacrifice some space from it for some other use)

And that swap idea isnt bad actually, can shrink system to ~200-250 mb, and then dbdata can be used too - but still it wont affect performance really

Dbdata is actually meant to store app data (/data/data ), as internal sd is much slower than OneNAND

but i've never noticed it being used , especially on non-Samsung ROMs, so why waste space ?

Or we can bind mount it to /data/data (and increase the size a bit - system can be ~200 mb), would bring much faster performance

(can move dalvik-cache too)

can u help me out with this.much appreciation
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ableeker:
All right, tonight I had no problem compiling ROM and kernel (zImage)!

There's still a problem with boot.img, so I still need zImage though. I've flashed a kernel with advanced CWM, Red Pill 2.0, and CWM installed my 2/20 compiled ROM. I powered off and booted back to CWM. This time boot.img obviously had been flashed, as the CWM was Te4m's. Yay! I CWM installed gapps, but after powering off it booted back into CWM. Selecting reboot system there did the same. Powering off and booting normally (no buttons pressed) did it too, that is it started the CWM. Wiping everything didn't work.

I flashed my zImage, it booted and started CM9 ICS straight away.

My boot.img is 6.8 MB, is that right? I think slim said his was 10 MB? ROM and zImage compile, does anyone know how to get a ROM that can boot ICS? Using the included kernel, without having to flash zImage?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] espionage724:
I had problems even booting CM9 when I flashed Red Pill 2.0, my solution was to just use 1.0 instead.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ableeker:
I've just tried 1.0, and this time it didn't boot at all, not even after waiting 10 minutes. I flashed my kernel, and it booted right away.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] espionage724:
Hmm, that's interesting. I tried my normal flashing procedure (restock to GB, flash HD kernel, transfer ROM/Kernel and gapps to SD, reboot to CWM, wipe caches, flash, etc) but upon rebooting, I would only get boot loops on HD's 2.0 kernel

I go back to 1.0 kernel, no more boot loops
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ableeker:
I didn't have that problem, I can start with Overcome 4.0, Red Pill 1, or Red Pill 2.0, install CM9, but only if I flash the zImage kernel. That shouldn't be necessary though, because the CM9 ZIP contains its own kernel, boot.img.

So you should be able to do: flash ext4 kernel, reboot into CWM, install ZIP, reboot into CWM, install gapps, boot CM9, profit! I haven't been able to do this however.

Oh, and people now say you have to boot between CWM'ing ROM and gapps.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] espionage724:
I can't recall a time where flashing both ROM and gapps actually worked, so I always just flashed ROM, rebooted to OS, then flashed gapps and wiped caches and data (to get the setup wizard)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayysir:
I flash roms then gapps right after and never had problems
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] spike1985:
The critical point seems to be the dalvik wipe. Without I had to reboot all the time between rom and gapps flash, when I wipe dalvik after flashing gapps direvtly after flashig rom all is fine (besides missing car mode, I always restore it with tb)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] espionage724:
Hmm, here's exactly what I did earlier:

- Restock to Gingerbread (overcome's guide with the pit, pda, and modem)

- Flash Overcome Kernel (latest) with Odin

- Transfer CM9 kernel/ROM and gapps to SD root

- Reboot to recovery

- Wipe data, caches, and voltage stats

- Flash rom/kernel, and then when it completes, flash gapps

- Wipe cache and dalvik (I think in this order; whichever one is displayed first is what I did first)

- Reboot to system

And still had no gapps shown. If I also wipe data after flashing rom/kernel and gapps, I don't get the setup wizard either.

I have to reboot out of ICS to recovery, flash gapps, wipe caches and data, and then I'm presented with the setup wizard and gapps are shown (if I don't do data, I don't get setup wizard, but instead Android optimizes apps, and when it's done, I can see gapps installed)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] spike1985:
Did you miss to write down that you flashed gapps or didn't you do it?

I just found out that the problem that I have with wifi is in my whole country.

We're using Edge sim card here and that's why you don't have any problem with your wifi.

But for us, we can only use one of these, GSM or WIFI, we cannot use both at the same time.

I know it's not your problem, but I'd be greatful if you could just take a look at it. Not that I'm not greatful, I could never imagine having ICS on my tab and now thanks to you guys I have a 99% functional version of it on my tablet, I am greatful, I just thought that I ask one last time.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] priyana:
you mean this problem with GSM and WIFI exists only in ICS/CM9 not in GB?

And while on WIFI you can't make call either? (say you screw up the APN deliberately so you get no mobile data, then connect to WIFI, then make a call).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ableeker:
I've done some more experiments, and I'm pretty sure I can't boot my self-compiled ROM using the built-in boot.img, because my boot.img is faulty.

- The Tab doesn't boot if I just flash my self-compiled ROM (which includes my self-compiled boot.img).

- The Tab boots if I flash my self-compiled zImage as well as my self-compiled ROM.

- The Tab doesn't boot if I flash my self-compiled boot.img as well as my self-compiled ROM.

- My self-compiled boot.img is 6.8 MB.

- slim's 2/20 boot.img is 10 MB.

- The Tab boots if take my self-compiled ROM and replace my self-compiled 6.8 MB boot.img with slim's 10 MB boot.img (the same ROM except for boot.img, and no zImage flashed!).

It seems my ROM is fine, but my boot.img is faulty. But both are build by scripts/build.sh p1 eng! Are there special instruction for building boot.img? If so, can somebody please tell me how to build a valid 10 MB boot.img? If not, can somebody please tell me how to build a valid 10 MB boot.img?
