Damn, I installed the alpha 1.1 and gapps V2 and I have exactly the same battery consumption problem with Motley's kernel than under Honeycomb.

Left my tablet in standby with wifi activated for 4,3 hours and the battery dropped 8% which is ~1,9% per hour. Exactly the same problem as under Android 3.2. With the stock kernel the consumption is round about 0,25% per hour.

That is really really bad for me because it means I have to wait for an official ICS release :(
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Luckily we aren't that far off from it. They (Samsung) are expected to begin updating their devices to ICS in Q1 2012 (link for reference). What we really need (well, _motley) is the ICS kernel source for our devices which is also expected around that timeframe. That can help big time.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Hurrian:
Slow down there.

Copy ICS 1.1 ROM to the internal storage using Honeycomb and USB (yes, use MTP, even if it's awful, if you don't know how to adb push)

Then reboot into recovery, wipe data and cache, then install the ICS ROM, then reboot.

Done.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] bdfull3r:
Did you read the post?

I have the files on my tablet

I know how to flash a ROM

I haven't bricked anything. In fact I can run the ROM fine. Its the recovery resetting by itself when I try to wipe or format the data that has me uneasy.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Hurrian:
You have something running funny there, then.

The Overcome CWM doesn't do this.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Loccy:
Very impressive. Smooth and slick - but no hardware acceleration in Diceplayer, so it's not ready for a daily driver for me yet. But for a first stab Alpha release, good show chaps.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tvi:
Hi,

Thanks guys for the big effort you made to make this happen. although I installed it on a my Galaxy tab 8.9 3G model it works smoothly and flawlessly. However, I'm really waiting for the 3G Edition.

Some of the things I note from 24h usage other than the ones that already mentioned, is the Screen shot is not working.

Keep the great work going :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] notz76:
thanks for the build. it really works fast. i love the improved browser of ics. but there are some annoying things:

- no rotate on home screen, which is very odd with a book cover

- battery drain is much higher than on overcome + motleys kernel

- fc's mentioned in earlier posts from launcher & market

keep up the good work, waiting for an alpha 2 ;-)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Hurrian:
Observations:

CPU spends a lot of time while being used at 100% compared to Overcome. Overclock to 1400MHz, then you'll get a lot less time at top frequency (this is a good thing - gives you more battery life)

Trebuchet (the app drawer) crashes a lot while opening it and swiping to and fro. Completely random crashes, btw.

DO NOT ENABLE FORCED 2D ACCELERATION - IT WILL BREAK A LOT OF APPS THAT CUSTOM SKIN THE UI

The app switcher previews are... sideways and stretched. Weird.

The previews in the Gallery are stretched and low res.

For the screenshots problem, it may be because of the way the fake SDCard is (not a real sdcard, just a partition on the eMMC).

See this link.

The new reboot menu is REALLY nice.

And I didn't know that the new Gallery is also the movie player.

In terms of smoothness, there are some hiccups, but it's nothing unbearable.

Also, where did you get the boot video? I'd like to see the regular ICS boot animation instead of the railgun, but that's just my opinion.

BTW: your GApps package is weird. The Music app is the old 2.x one, and there's no Maps app.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] cle_m_ent:
I can't connect the Gtab on my pc with the usb cable...

The Touchscreen is not responding very well in games like GTA III. While driving a car you have to push the accelerator button every time you push the left or right button to keep the car accelerating. TheScreen doesn't reconize that the accelerator button is still pushed. Is there a fix available for this problem?

how to add to your build gsm capabilities

Dear developers I am really impressed with your work on the rom.

I see this forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1322059 which is ICS on tab 7 with gsm call capabilities.

I am compairing the files in your rom with their files. Obviously there are diferences due platform, hardware and so on but other are related the gsm call capabilities. It means to add some libs and apk. Do you think so?

rild.libpath=/vendor/lib/libsec-ril.so

rild.libargs=-d /dev/ttyS0

ro.telephony.ril_class=samsung

phone.ril.classname=com.android.internal.telephony.SamsungRIL

ro.telephony.ril.v3=1

mobiledata.interfaces=pdp0,eth0,gprs,ppp0

ro.ril.enable.managed.roaming=1
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
We are going to release a build for P7300 when it's ready. Then we will see if it's possible to get gsm calls working or not.

Adding just these lines to build.prop and the libsec-ril.so to the wifi build won't enable 3G, there is much more missing in the wifi only build.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kalel90:
Ok so after using this for a couple of days ive found a couple of extremely annoying bugs.

1. Flash videos in any browser opera, stock, etc. are black the controls show up but the video area is black.

2. html 5 inline videos in the stock browser show up as green and the controls are all fried.

Both of this combined make it very hard to view any internet video.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] reycingef9:
Loving the speed, responsiveness of ICS. Great job! Even with the bugs, I'm loving it. Not even overclocked, its smoother & snappy. Coming from Overcome Rom OC'd 1.5. Excellent work guys, keep it up!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] _motley:
Thanks for all the feedback everyone! It is very helpful. It's good to see our community get to taste a bit of ICS on the 8.9.

Please understand that the ICS project for this device, and in general, is still in it's infancy and we might not be able to fix all issues in a timely manner. That is why the release carries the "alpha" tag. We will be working hard along with the rest of the open source community (AOSP, CM etc) to do what we can to make our device work better with ICS. Even though we have source for ICS, we don't have source for all the drivers and I am still working off of the Samsung 3.1 release of the kernel for our device and bits and pieces from kernels released for 3.2 devices etc.

As far as GSM calling goes, I don't want to speak for the others on the team, but here is my take on it. Even if it is possible, I am not comfortable about the legal reprecussions of enabling it. If your carrier has it diabled it for a reason, I don't want to be responsible for your breach of contract and have carriers knocking on my door because we have enabled it. Not sure how the others feel, but this is where I am at until someone convinces me otherwise. Just because you can, doesn't always mean it is the right thing to do. If you want to go ahead and hack something up for yourself, then by all means have at it! Our first goal is to get 3G working as it is supposed to.

Let's keep the feedback coming, but please stay on topic. Read the thread, and try not to repeat the same questions and issues over and over.

Thanks for your support!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nycbjr:
Its about time I updated the OP answering some of these questions up front, I have to go back through and look and wrap it up..

incidentally the Gapps that poiseke posted a few pages back seems the most stable ATM... I'll prolly update that as well
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] beginner:
If you leave me sell your an idea, you will get famous!!!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nycbjr:
Incidentally, I changed animations to 1.5 and removed the "show cpu", and the launcher still seems very snappy, couldn't stand that cpu overlay any longer.

Regarding battery life.. are you kidding me? I've gone all day from 99% down to 84% seems ok to me! However then again this is an upgrade from the Acer A500 battle tank I had.. battery life was terrible.

I'm with motely (der) and echoing that this is just our first attempt (and a huge learning curve on my part too boot).

We are going to go back and see what we can do to really make this a "special" port, the 10.1 guys are so jealous!

and we made it on the front page of xda!

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/galaxy-tab-8-9-gets-ics-alpha/

apparently cause I joined over 5 years ago Im a "senior member", lol
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] weltwon:
A Senior Moment

For anyone not knowing, you automatically become a Senior Member when you start a thread and become the OP.

Regarding battery, I had an A500 and compared to it, our GT8.9's are like the Eternal Light.

Glad to hear you're changing the boot animation. That blue tunnel thing made me feel like I was standing under the Eiffel Tower looking up while on an acid trip. On a positive note, I find the overall design and coloring in ICS to be very pleasing and maybe we owe some thanks to Mr. Cyanogen for his influence on Samsung and Google.

IMHO, the minute you guys get the Voice command apps working, you can call it Alpha2 and I might be happy with it for months! Great work and much appreciated.

Glenn :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nycbjr:
LOL that is good to know!

yeah that one kind of bugs me (the voice command), I'd place money it has something to do with the CM9 reworked launcher, haha. One thing I always liked about droid is the voice input, Surry is LAME!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] reycingef9:
Just noticed random reboot while just sitting there asleep. Happened twice now. Not sure whats happening when its asleep.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] weltwon:
Randon Reboots

I had that too after I upgraded from Alpha 1.0 to 1.01 but when I had to start from scratch again, I only installed v1.01 and have not had any of those random reboots.

Glenn :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] reycingef9:
I started from v1.1 So still have no idea whats going on. Maybe I'll wipe and try again.

Also found that my google calendar has errors in syncing. Anyone else having this error?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] bigbrovar:
ICS is absolutely awesome, like I am blown away by how much it has transformed this device. what trips me the most is the little things. How super buttery smooth the whole animation and window management is. The grace with which transition is handled. the speed, the fine touch to all the visual elements.

The part that took my breath away the most is this is just an alpha build (Good lord) so it means its even gets better like much better than this. Better optimization, more stable.

Like even the ram management is awesome I have like 200MB ram used when I boot the tab and less than 300MB even with 5 apps opened. There is no chance in hell I am going back to honeycomb not after tasting this. Even if this tab reboots once every 30 min (which it doesn't do)

I can leave without the camera or 3G, I don't even mind the occasional crash of the launcher or the occasional freeze of the tablet.. I know with time all that would be fixed.

What I pray is fixed on time though is the auto rotation weirdness. I wish it were more smooth. but I am sure that would be easily corrected.

A big thankyou to all you guys involved. Thanks for giving 10.1 something to be jealous for :D
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] RedMist:
brilliant thank you!!!

My only hiccup was to not notice my gapps zip was corrupted (0 bytes)... and then I couldn't attach USB cable to copy it a cross - lolz

Anyway all sorted :-)

So far its wonderful with only the odd crash. But pretty darn good for an alpha release!!!!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] chienline:
Many thanks to u guys working on this ROM.

Can't hardly wait for 3G to work. Here in Indonesia we have gt-p7300 bundling with free 3 months unlimited internet service prepaid card. You can see that we have to pay extra for gsm calling so nothing to loose on the operators side.

Another problem is I can't check my pulse credit using USSD code (ex: *123#) for we don't have any dialer.

I have to use sms code to check it out via sms code which mean spending more money just for checking my credit. And what if I'm running out of credit? I cannot top-up my credit via voucher code. It means I have to go to the market that sell electonic top-up which spend more time and effort.

Currently I think the "one gadget that do everything" problem is only annoying the US carriers, not in any other countries.

so here I vote for gsm calling enabled ;-)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nycbjr:
I noticed with my first taste on the acer, I was in lust with ICS ever since, HC sucked the big donkey for memory management!

I can't restore my apps via Titanium Backup, someone have this issue, too?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nycbjr:
Yes I must have done it 300x during testing lol, I wouldn't do an auto restore, do them one at a time (or filtered by platform), you don't want to accidentally restore HC stuff hah.

I know TI is pretty good, but I would still do them individually.

I haven't got anything to come out of logcat with regards to screenshots, but this commit might be worth looking at.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] _motley:
I have put it on the wish list. This will likely require a small mod to wpasupplicant so it doesn't filter out IBSS entries from the wifi scan results. Should be able to test with barnacle on my wifes CM 7.1 phone :)

Thx, this patch is merged into the next version that we will release, but it won't address that problem. There is another patch that I am looking for that I believe may fix this issue. I looked at the code and it is trying to save it to the correct folder, /sdcard/screenshots (or something like this), but the api called reports "storage is busy". I swear I saw a patch that addressed something to this effect (storage busy etc.) so I will have to look for it again.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Hurrian:
Yeah, I thought so too. Trawling XDA for the problem gives only two causes - this or the apparently new way ICS handles mounting storage.

i seen CM9's version of trebucket is released in alpha, is that going to be incorporated into this build or is it a phone only thing?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Hurrian:
If you haven't noticed, we're already using Trebuchet.

EDIT: we're using an old version of Trebuchet. Go install the new one, less FCs.

On a side note, I tried to enable MTP in Settings > Storage > USB computer connection. Settings crashed trying to enable it.

The MtpApplication from HC doesn't work ;)

I'm going to try to kang stuff from the 10.1 CM9 kang, they apparently have MTP working.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ben8888:
I vote for GSM full phone function!

The device we bought already built-in gsm phone function.

We are just getting it back for our money!

It's not right or wrong to enable the calling function, it's only do you want to make your tab most useful for all users.

BTW, tab 8.9 is my favorite tablet! Why Samsuuuung disable the built-in function??

Why not just replace the hardware 3G module by data only module???!!!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Alberto Jesus:
I agree 100%. I bought my tablet thinking that it had full phone function. The samsung web page is very missleading. Right now I have an 18 month contract with orange dominican republic that gives me 150 min. voice calls (that i cant use) 100 messages (that is working) and unlimited data. I use my tablet for work and I am missing alot of calls. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. It is very important to me. If this will not work on the 8.9 3G I will have to sell it and downgrade to the 7 plus because the 7.7 is still up in the air. Thanks Guys
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Chrisalviedo:
I also vote for gsm calling function. I sold my GT p1000 thinking I will get the full functionality off this phone. I bought this phone cash I'm not on any plan so I am using my previous sim card which has unlimited voice call and video call on this GT 7300. Do we deserve the full functionality of a device we paid for I think it's fair to say "YES"!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] termleech:
The next release of this will be based on aosp not cm so it will not have trebuchet. Personally not a huge fan of it but if there is enough demand for it perhaps we can provide a build with trebuchet in or at least an ads on mod.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
I think I have solved the screenshot problem. Download screenshot ux trial and set the directory of screenshots as the root of your tab. It works for me. Maybe changing the default directory might work even for the default screenshot app. Try it. If I can be any more help for you, I would be happy to help you.

Update: There is a lot of talk about battery life. I run at a stable 1.5 Ghz and still with amazing battery life. I have passed a day with this rom and I am on 43%. Also, when I do not require much CPU power, I under clock to 760 MHz and I still see no lag.

Gsm version or prototype?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flyerwire:
Thats the fake picture someone made when Samsung released the teaser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
Neither, it's a 3D render. :)

Probably of the GSM version, though, which is slightly thinner than the LTE. Other than that, they still do look the same; I'm not sure what major difference you're seeing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabaker07:
The Nexus would suck if it was that curved. Seriously?

Why are you using an old, user-created image? Go to Google's or Verizon's site.

Troll?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
Yeah the Samsung person that created the teaser must have changed the curvature a lot otherwise it looks the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike2518:
I totally agree. The curve is no where the same on this phone. It'd be nice if it was though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
It looks the same but the curve isn't as dramatic.

I just bought a new HTC Amaze. I am wondering how do I take a Smart Shot in this? I dont find any option in thier?
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Go in to your camera, then press the "AUTO" button.

Pick Smart Shot.

Auto will be the first option on the top left if you're holding your phone in landscape with the shutter button on your top right.

Hope this helps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] imran7799:
Hi,

I don;t see the Auto button as well. Does it have something to do with my software version. I am running Android 2.3.4 with HTC Sense 3.0

Are you using the stock camera app and not a market app?

Press your menu button when in camera..do you not see it toggle between settings and options?

Auto button. Camera/Camcorder switch button. Front/back camera switch. Flash button.

They should be there.

There's the "Auto" I'm talking about. Anyway in your case I'm sure it's the wand with the sparkles.
