Every things work great ! Just an issue : the launcher is a bit laggy when I want to oppen the drawer.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ausgang:
Yeah! You guys are the greatest!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
I guess my gaming session just got interrupted. :) Time to get ICS in my Tab!

Sent from my GT-P7310
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] abima80:
hai poisike, thanks for the great news, can u confirm with me the status of gsm call on this rom? im using p7300 like u. thanks again
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
No GSM calls, even 3G connection doesn't work on this build.

I have another build that has a working 3G connection and even a Phone app but still can't make a call.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] b0ngokarl:
so...

I can confirm:

No GSM (as stated)

No Camera / Gtalk / Skype (also said already)

If you slide lockscreen to camera it instant reboots :)

/Me cannot use Browser when flash installed anymore (FC'ing) <-- Can sombody confirm?

Snappy ROM! Thanks! Final ICS will be fun!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] RKmd:
For an alpha build, this is MORE than usable as a daily driver.

Question about reporting bugs - is there a central repository the developers can create so we're not all burdening the thread with redundancy? I'm sure you all will get sick of reading "but the camera isn't working" multiple times (even though it's addressed in the OP). ;)

I too have noticed some lag with the launcher. In addition, I'm having trouble getting the screen to alternate between landscape and portrait mode - it seems to "prefer" landscape.

Merry Christmas to all and thanks again for this awesome ROM. It's about time you guys start thinking of a name for this dev team and the ROM... maybe something along the ICS lines... like Frost. :D
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
Gtalk works for me, chatting with nycbjr now.

I have flash installed and browser works just fine.

Did you wipe data/cache/dalvik when you flashed the rom?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] b0ngokarl:
You have Video in GTalk?

Wiped everything - will reinstall
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
Camera doesn't work, so obviously video that doesn't work.

great job guy:-) my best xmas gift this year! Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
TIP: If you want to see very smooth scrolling on homescreens then go to Settings > Developer options and enable Show CPU usage.

I have no idea why it makes launcher so smooth but it does. I hope Motley will find time to check this out...

My Alpha v1 Test Results

Kudos to nycbjr, motley, poisike, termleech :)

Followed your exact instructions, no install problems.

I was coming from P7310XEUKJ4_P7310XXKJ4_HOME with ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.0.2.6

Installed CPU Master Free, set to Interactive with max at 1400, Min at 456

Please add to Not working:

Gallery

Auto-rotate screen

Tested & working perfectly:

Astro File Manager (good sub for viewing pics until Gallery working)

MX Video Player

TV.com

Jump Desktop (runs even better under ICS than Gingerbread)

Email

Screen Off FX

If I want to make a donation to your team, who/what/where?

Thanks guys!

Glenn :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] xpla:
Is MX Video Player hardware accelerated?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nycbjr:
I've found that the the auto rotation is now app based, it seems this may be a "feature" on the tablet version of ICS. I've gotten quite used to it, and even like that it doesn't rotate in the launcher screens, I'm sure it may irritate me someday lol, so there maybe a setting someplace, or a fix.

Also adding we left out livewallpapers, or at least the ability to choose one, so that will be added in the next release (i hope)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jenne1980:
Happy christmas!

One question: What is this "icygapps" which has to be installed?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nycbjr:
Gapps, they aren't installed in the rom (per google policy), market, gmail, gtalk, etc.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jenne1980:
Ahh, gapps = google apps, ok :D
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
Strangely Gallery works for me. What exactly doesn't work for you? You can't even open the Gallery app?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] d1gw33d:
Awesome! Installing now. You guys are bad asses.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] weltwon:
Gallery app

Gallery opens and then pop-up says "Unfortunatelly Gallery has stopped.

OK" and then it disappears.

I wonder if it has anything to do with my CPU Master settings. What are you set at? I have Interactive set at 1400 max, 456 min.

Glenn :)

P.S. After I rebooted once, I can now access widgets and have Beautiful Home Weather installed & working. Can't do any picture frames widgets due to Gallery issue.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jenne1980:
Why did you choose 456 MHz as minimum cpu clock? Isn't it way too high? Standard is 216 MHz I think.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] weltwon:
CPU settings

I chose 456 mainly to see if it would run it but will put it back to 216 and see if that allows me to run Gallery apk. No, changing to 216 was

no help. For anyone planning to install the Alpha, i suggest downloading Quick Boot from market so you can easily reboot into CWM if/when

you want to restore a former ROM or make a backup of the ICS ROM.

Glenn :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] RKmd:
I can confirm that Gallery is crashing. After launching the app, I can see my thumbnails in the background, but I'm prompted with "Unfortunately Gallery has stopped." I've set OC to Interactive at 1.4 GHz.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
For now, try something superior called QuickPic. It beats Gallery anyday.

I have a wifi issue, though... My router is a Linksys E4200 and I have it set to WPA/WPA2 Mixed Mode for my main wireless SSID and I enabled an unsecure guest-access SSID (password in browser).

I can connect fine with the guest-access SSID, but it will hang on getting IP Address when I use my normal SSID...

Everything seems to lag a bit, but I don't care about that personally now that all of Touchwiz is gone (yay - working email widgets).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nycbjr:
added an install video to the OP or tried to at least, here is the link for now

The gapps issue seems to be in other roms as well, I'm looking at a few other versions to see if it resolves the stability issue and FC's.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
I'm using gapps from there > http://www.mediafire.com/?1l4ravroiwt4ybw

Works for me.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] bdfull3r:
my gallery is working fine. Folders, icons, full images, even tap and pinch to zoom all work fine for me.

Stock ICS(feels weird saying that)

i am NOT overclocked atm.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] j0bro:
Guys!

This rom totally kicks ass as a first alpha, well done! The speed difference with HC is definately noticeable, I don't feel the the urge to immediately OC to 1.4 GHz :-)

Few things I noticed though:

- the GT 8.9's natural orientation is portrait (270 degrees), however the thumbnails in the task switcher are rotated in portrait upside down (90 degrees)

- Orientation changes are also affected; the screen momentarily rotates to inverse portrait and then to the final orientation

- Live wallpapers are unavailable

- The browser suffers from FC's

- Auto brightness doesn't dim too well in dark environments

- Compared to ICS running on my Galaxy S, the Roboto font rendering is less crisp

Still, as said, a very very nice effort already. Keep it up, I am looking forward to the progression! (and the next build's name... new year inspired maybe?)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tri0xinn:
this was so awesome to wake up to... at this point it is working flawelessly for me. I do have it at 1200mhz so its buttery smooth but it was great stock.. way better than honeycomb in every way so far.. at least the way I use it. thanks a ton guys.. best present I've got for years!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Great job!

For now, to be an alpha, this can even be treated like a beta. Awesome work guys! So, that said, here are the little things I noticed:

Bad:

- When you unlock the device and are navigating homescreens, rotation does not respond. It stays in landscape.

- I bet you noticed the lag when it rotates (and also when swiping to Widgets menu after a while) so I'm skipping to...

- Auto-brightness doesn't work here.

- It would be nice to have a GPS toggle included along with the rest of the controls in the pullup menu. I don't know if this is possible in the future (I dislike widgets but it'll have to suffice for now).

- Not fair to call this an alpha, I've seen worse alphas, lol!

Good:

- ICS kicks Honeycomb really hard in the looks and speed/smoothness department.

- Stock Browser's smoothness and speed rivals Opera's.

For reference I flashed the GAPPS posted by poisike a page back. So far no FCs in Gallery, although the thumbnails are blurry but I think that's how the app is.

Edit: While posting this the ROM got a bit updated lol. Time to flash again! Lucky I haven't yet restored anything, lol.

EDIT 2: Is ADB the only way to transfer files through USB for now? I enabled USB Debugging, connected (nothing...), then disabled USB Debugging, connected and still nothing.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] RKmd:
Upgraded from alpha 1 to alpha 1.1 and GApps 1.1 (only wiped cache and Dalvik, not data), and now my Gallery works without FC. :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] varpness:
Amazing! Once (if) the camera works, I'll definitely be using this version!

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] bdfull3r:
Notes after day one with version one

Smooth, like really smooth. 10 times better then 3.1 at least twice as good as 3.2

Lot of apps do fc. Browser, market, even the app drawer as force closed on me. As stated before, this is a lot better then most alpha builds. Better then any alpha build i have personally worked with. Keep up the good work I can not wait for the improved stability of a beta and later rc
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] smoschi:
woow

Wooow this alpha is really like a beta! thank you devs for you good job and so fast. im really happy with the alpha and will not return to HComb. wifi worx fantastic and dolphin browser is really more smooth then ipad2 but stock browser little bit laggy. i set cpu to 1400 and ics is really smooth now . now i can switch to perfect keyboard. touchscreen work fine but only in switch from landscape to portrat is little bit buggi but its an alpha version ... and what for launcher you prefer guys?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] _motley:
Hey guys. I have used the usb connection kit (assuming this is what you are talking about) to use a mouse and it works, but I don't think USB disk access is working yet. I am going to try to get it working. DVD out is going to be a big tougher, but I have some ideas to try. I have not tested and expect it doesn't work, in fact I would be shocked if it did.

If others are testing the connection kit, let me know what works for you.

Gallery working in Alpha v1.1

I did the same and can confirm that gallery now working on my 8.9 Tab.

Then I tested Photo Gallery widget which let me choose and crop a pic, but once on the desktop I can move it but unable to resize the pic.

All in all, this is fantastic for an Alpha and the more I explore ICS, I'm falling in love!

:)

P.S. Pinch & zoom now working in my browser (wasn't working in V1 on my tab)

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] _motley:
Here is my input on the Gallery App issues and gapps install in general.

In the latest gapps included in the OP, I see that it is coming from Nexus and it is installing libraries to /system/lib and vendor specific files to /vendor/firmware etc. This is not good and we will need to rectify it somehow.

Gallery2.apk is included within the ICS build itself. Then, when gapps is intalled, it replaces it with GalleryGoogle.apk and likely takes over the Gallery interface. If dalvik is not cleaned, then this is my guess on the FC's. The installer doesn't clear dalvik, so I suggest that folks clear dalvik when gapps is installed in CWM to see if it helps. If our natively built Gallery2.apk is better (I notice no difference in UI), then it is best to keep ours I think. Some research need to be done better understand if one or the other is better for us.

It is interesting though, I haven't had any gallery issues, so only some are seeing the issues. It probably depends on how things are being flashed, cleared etc. and in what order.

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

I noticed that too...should be something we can do. When it happened, I looked in logcat and didn't see anything useful. Grrrrrr.

I am researching how we can best take advantage of our tegra 2 hardware. There are some compile flags that can be set etc., but we have no source from Nvidia that I know of, so I can't make any promises there. We do however have the firmware files from HC 3.2, so let's cross our fingers that we can improve our 2D and 3D acceleration. BSPlayer works the best I have seen so far for our device and seems to be able to use their own HW decoding, but I haven't played with it enough to be sure what it is doing. It can play a 1080 trailer better than native gallery can, but not as good as it could in HC 3.2. Samsungs native video player was actually pretty good, better than most stock players. If we could port it over, that would be cool to see if it works. We would likely need the TW framework jars and some Samsung libs for it to run, or at least have a chance.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Hurrian:
This is now my daily driver.

Smooth, fast, and ICS is way better than HC.

The only problems are: FC's on the app drawer (not much of a problem) and some lag (mildly annoying).

I'm not too worried about that camera - I'm toting my N900 all the time.

EDIT: tested video playback. Because there's no video playback app here, I installed MX Video Player with the arm7vfpv3 codec. Lag, lag lag in hardware render mode. SW render mode is just fine (source video is 1280x720, H.264 Baseline Profile with no CABAC and P-frames.)

First, an amazing job. Pretty slick and almost good enough to be a daily OS for me. Thanks a bunch.

I have an issue with the screen - I think. Any icons or Widgets that border the page are slightly visible from the next page - very slightly visible with a lot of transparency. Is this normal for ICS tablet?

Updates on the connection kits.

USB Connection Kit:

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EPL-1PLRBEGSTA

USB mouse works fine. USB storage devices connect fine to /devices/platform/tegra-ehci.0 (good), but they don't automount (bad). We will need to look into this. I played with /etc/vold.fstab a bit, but with no success. I think since we aren't loading kernel module scsi_scan_wait.ko, this may have something to do with it. I can't load that module anymore in ics and I am not yet sure why. However, there is a free app in market called "drive mount" that can help us out for now. I have used it to connect thumb drives, but it is behaving a bit poorly on ics right now. Sometimes it locks up on start. If you "force stop" with android task manager and then "clear data", then the interface comes up and it properly requests su perms and works fine after that. Perhaps someone can find another similar app that works better on our ics build. At least we can mount this way for now until we can provide better native support.

HDTV/HDMI Connection Kit:

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EPL-3PHPBEGSTA

It works as-is for me! The screen size is a bit larger than my 42" flatscreen as the launcher icons are only half visible. But I think it was like this before for me. When you go into a video, the size is fine.

Weird, hadn't seen this before! Perhaps it is a feature? Someone would have had to purposely add this feature since 3.2 for this to happen.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] cburgess:
Loving the Rom, works for me perfectly so far!! Thanks to all involved.

I'm trying to get the stock Samsung Video Player installed but it's not letting me install, have even tried adding to system\app folder and rebooting.

Anyone have any ideas? Or a recommendation for a video player app?

Thanks,

Email glitch in v1.1

No problem creating four POP3 email accounts but when I try to go to the Combined view, fc and popup says "Unfortunately Email has stopped."

As far as watching videos, not having any problem watching them without any lags or image quality issues using MX Video Player with ARMv7 Codec added. However, only videos I've loaded on tablet are mpg and vob formats.

Have also noticed that with screen rotation at 180, if I use Screen Off FX to put tablet into standby, when I wake it up with power switch, screen lock comes on and it is still in 180 mode (a good thing for me).

Just did one thing I won't do again ... tried to set CPU Master Max to 1646Mhz and entire system froze. Powered off, powered on, got as far as lockscreen but wouldn't let me enter unlock code. Rebooted into CWM to restore Alpha v1.0 and then reapplied v1.1 updates after wiping cache & davlik. Now i know to not exceed 1400Mhz Max setting.

I posted some tips back a few posts of what it might take (libs/TW framework etc).....not sure if it it will work though as a lot has changed. Kind of like going backwards too...but it was a nice player as it even supported flv files etc.

Thanks Glenn. Not having any issues with email here in combined view using a POP account and a GMail account with IMAP. Yeah, 1504 is the stable limit for HC or ICS. I run it all the time with -50mV and it never freezes. 1600 may work for a bit, but it is still pushing it and will usually with freeze after awhile. 1646 always freezes instantly and I am not willing to increase mV any more in the kernel to make it work as they are high enough already for tegra2. Too much heat for this little device...unlike my Iconia that is like a brick with a self serving heat sink! Still like that device...it is a beast as far as tegra2 goes.

Exchange accounts setup and work fine. My work Exchange setup includes remote admin etc. Email & calendar never FC or anything. SetCPU running @ 1.2 interactive. Issues below.

-Trebuchet forecloses when bouncing between a handful of apps (no idea what that is.)

-The screen rotate issues seem to be related to the FC's I get with every Android comic reader? Komik, Droid Comic Viewer and Perfect Viewer are all essentially unusable.

-App drawer lags big time until you've been swiping it for a bit

-I've had a couple complete system freezes in the ~6-8 hours of using it. Couldn't reproduce the issue. One time I was mashing the back button in Market and the other was going through bookmarks in the browser.

Speaking of - the Android 4.0 browser is insane. Not sure if its TW or just HC 3.x but ICS browser makes it look like crap. I can't believe how fast it loads flash heavy full blown sites and how snappy it is overall.

i have an issue. In Recovery when i try to do things with data, data wipe to install the 1.1 build it reset.

I was on 3.2 Overcom, flashed to 1.0 Alpha, downloaded 1.1 today to my computer but i don't know enough about ADB to push it so i restored to my 3.2 Overcome build, moved the files to my tablet. and booted back into recovery. I went to flash your ROM with data wipe and it reset

wiping data...

Formating /data...

then it reset and boot back into recovery on its own

i went tried to restore it to my 3.2 Overcome ROM again, it restores system first like normal but again when restoring data it reset and reboot into recovery again without my input. From this i just powered off and tried a regular reboot and it loaded the normal 3.2 without a problem. But i don't want to keep ****ing with it if it keeps resetting when i try to wipe or restore data.

Any ideas?

Overcome was using Motley's latest 3.2 kernal

Neither ROM was overclocked.

Wipe Cache & Davlik Cache Twice Each

From my experiences with 3 Android phones and 2 Android tablets, I discovered long ago that doing 1 Cache wipe and 1 Davlik cache wipe can often lead to problems so I ALWAYS do at least 2 wipes EACH of Cache and Davlik Cache. and unless a dev specifically indicates it I don't wipe data or factory reset.

After I froze my 8.9 Tab by trying to use 1.646Mhz in CPU Master, I had to get into CWM the hard way (Holding Power & Volume during boot). Once in CWM, knew I had to restore Alpha 1.0 which I did. Then I immediately did 2 wipes each of cache & Davlik cache, installed the V1.1 zip, then the V1.1 gapps zip.

Rebooted and all working (except as I reported in prior posts).
