I completely understand you. We have though of that too. It will be an optional flashable zip, not that you would get that interface instead of stock, dont worry :). And we did not forget the

statement and everybody in the team agrees to that statement. On the other hand, we have not put anyting "on top of ICS". If this is what you would call Custom UI, then Gingerbread would be a Custom UI of Cupcake :)

But just wait to see it. There is no major differece. I have added more featurs than eye-candy. If you want to stay stock, you will still have the option! Also, the stock will not have any less or more features than the UI (except of the additional features of the UI).

Chrome? Where!?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Tested. Well...it's a Beta so I'll give it benefit of doubt. I prefer the stock browser's scroll smoothness. Chrome lags so far, but it will get better and wouldn't be surprised if it replaces the stock browser in a future Android update.

Is TW also responsible for the making the speaker icon on the volume bar a mute button?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] _motley:
Cool, I'll have to check it out.

Been, wanting share this bit of info with all of you. I have been using this beta version of Dolphin HD, only available from their blog (not market, see link below). I have always been a stock browser fan, but ICS has browser freeze issues as we all know. This is not just limited to our build as other devices have reported the same issue, even the official transformer 2 users have reported this. Check it out, it is pretty smooth and it hasn't crashed on me yet.

Let me know what you think (I have no connection with Dolphin LOL).

Please do give more info if this app provides more detail on which app or service has the wake lock (I see it is a paid app with some cool features). If it is a problem in the kernel (broadcom wifi driver etc.), I can take a look. I'm not sure we will find much wrong though...battery life has been phenomenal on my 7310 wifi and others have reported the same (I am curious on how the 7300 3g model is doing). On 1.4 beta, my tablet has been up for 1d 18h without any charging and I still have 35% battery left. I am also OC'ed to 1.5Ghz and wifi is set to be on all the time. In my battery stats, the curve when the screen is off is a bit flatter than yours when it is asleep. I also leave GPS off unless I need it, so this could be the difference. Let us know what additional info you have.

Thx.

Its a paid app in the market but you may download a free xda version on the dev's xda page..

The wake lock seems to be random, rebooted the tab and its not "locking" now. Without the wake lock problem, it is flatter, probably same as yours. I experience this a few times now and figure best if I reported it. I'm running it at 1.4ghz with Bluetooth and GPS off btw.

Another app to monitor this would be battery monitor widget pro, however its a paid app. It logs the mv used and clearly its drawing more volts with the wake lock.

I'm updating to 1.4 soon, will report back if the wake lock occurs again.

Is the camera supposed to be working in this version? If so, not for me. :(

Not really a big deal for me though, I rarely use it.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] the Doctor:
Following up my post #491 in this thread, I have compared the new Galaxian Soup 4.0 beta 1.4 to Samsung’s stock Honeycomb 3.2 ROM (P7300XXKJ6 HTJ85B.ZSKK2) for performance in Antutu.

Method

Each ROM was tested 7 times so as to accumulate data. The first run was thrown out in each case as the first run with Antutu tends to be slower, thus I collected and reported 6 runs for each ROM. Standard deviations were calculated and recorded, and the mean scores chosen to represent each ROM. I did not overclock in Galaxian Soup, so the clock speed was 1ghz in each case.

Results

TW 3.2	GS 4.0 a1.3	Diff	GS 4.0 b1.4	Diff
Mean	SD	Mean	SD	+/-	Mean	SD	+/-
RAM	817	1%	828	0%	1%	826	0%	1%
CPU Integer	1421	1%	1432	0%	1%	1432	0%	1%
CPU float-point	1091	0%	1098	0%	1%	1098	0%	1%
2D graphics	293	1%	281	1%	-4%	295	0%	1%
3D graphics	904	1%	627	0%	-31%	627	0%	-31%
Database IO	354	4%	322	10%	-9%	325	4%	-8%
SD card write	115	6%	135	8%	17%	129	12%	12%
SD card read	191	1%	190	1%	0%	191	1%	0%
Total score	5186	0%	4911	1%	-5%	4922	1%	-5%

Conclusions

There is essentially no change on the CPU side from TW 3.2, GS 4.0 a1.3 and GS 4.0 b1.4. However, we noted before the poor 2D/3D graphics performance of the GS 4.0 a1.3 ROM. Fortunately, the 2D performance of GS 4.0 b1.4 has come back to one-up (literally!) the stock TouchWiz Honeycomb ROM, an overall gain of 5%. But 3D graphics performances still lags behind a massive -31%. I sure hope this gets fixed in future betas. I’m personally very curious to hear from the developers on this point.

The Database IO benchmark was slow in 1.3 and is likewise slow in 1.4. Sadly, some of the GS 4.0 a1.3 SD card write advantage has evaporated.

So, with b1.4 we gained 5% in 2D graphics performance, but lost another 5% in Database IO making the difference in overall performance between b1.4 and a1.3 essentially a wash. Both lag behind the performance of Samsung’s stock TouchWiz Honeycomb ROM -5%, which on a day-to-day basis is probably not noticeable. Not bad for a bunch of guys without all the resources of the OEM!!

One final comment: I personally REALLY like this ROM. I think the devs are doing a great job, and I love the philosophy of leaving it as purely ICS as possible. I wish there was something I could do to help them along, but sadly I’m not a dev.

Here is the raw data from the new tests:

Galaxian Soup b1.4 1,000mhz
RAM	828	823	826	831	822	827
CPU Integer	1437	1432	1421	1437	1428	1434
CPU float-point	1099	1097	1097	1100	1099	1098
2D graphics	295	294	294	296	296	294
3D graphics	626	626	630	626	626	627
Database IO	330	315	325	340	335	305
SD card write	131	115	113	150	143	122
SD card read	194	191	191	188	189	192
Total score	4940	4893	4897	4968	4938	4899

You need to add your carriers APN settings manually or wait until we update the .zip
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] chienline:
Okay. I'll give it a try. Will copy from alpha2 :)

Well, I found the file /system/etc/ apns-conf.xml

Anyway I tried to override the file with the one from Alpha2 build. Reboot.

Nothing happen. Still no 3g network.

Then I go to settings

Under Wireless & Networks click More...

Mobile Networks > Access Point Names

Then press the upper right menu button

Reset to default

This will get the APN setting automatically.

Hope this helps :)

V1.4 vs. v1.3

Only one minor problem since I upgraded from V1.3 to v1.3 beta.

Can't open/run Market from desktop icon. Anybody else have same problem or solution?

Before running the v1.4 zip, all I did was wipe cache and davlik so I didn't lose any data or apps.

Glenn:)

P.S. Also seem to be missing Chrome browser even though I installed gapps 2 zip.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
chrome browser beta isn't part of gapps v2. it only has the original tablet browser. if that however is missing sth is wrong with your gapps install

as for market, maybe just delete the icon off the homescreen and add it again...;)

Is there any way we could have incremental patches rather than have to download a full update.zip and do a complete data wipe every time?

Sorry to hear this goenieg. Please give more details so we can understand what happened.

7300 or 7310?

Data wipe or not?

Did you load any 3rd party apps?

OC or UV?

If something like this happens again and you are willing, please reboot after the crash and grab last_kmsg from the /proc folder using a file explorer with root access. This can tell us a lot about what crash is all about. You can PM me the log file.

Hi,

full wipe

uc @ -100, -50 and -25 ( also tried no uc, all with the same results)

oc @ 1.5, 1.4 and no oc (using setcpu, all with the same results)

I of course tried it without any oc or uc

I am using overcome for now, but will install your rom this weekend, and when the crashes happen again I will mail you the kmsg file.

Downloaded file from 1st post but how do I move it to the system folder? Unable to do it by es explorer.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] _motley:
You will need to go into es file explorer settings and do the following:

1) turn on root access and set it to mount r/w

2) set the root folder to / instead of /sdcard

(all these settings are at or near the bottom of the page)

When you return to the file explorer, you can now move up a level to the root folder / and then navigate into /system/etc. Now that you can navigate around, you can now copy/paste the file over top of the existing file.

Hope this helps!

Just installed it...

This rom is great... however I am missing some few stuffs from the old one.

1. No CDMA only support? In HC, we have this in the option. This forces my connection to connect on 3g/HSDPA only. Now, I'm back to slow 2g/Edge/GPRS again :(

2. No Camera (well I've known that from start), however, are there any tiny glimpse of light in this?

Other than these... it's a great rom, UI is smooth and fast... I haven't overclocked it yet, but I'm getting there :)

Screen issue

I noticed something strange in this ROM that I don't remember happening in a1.3. Sometimes during a transition (ie coming out of the apps drawer back to the home screen) I see fuzzy horizontal lines on the screen, almost like a CRT with a dirty signal. Once back to the home screen it clears up.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] gonova:
FC

I have just installed the lastest Beta1.4 on my P7300. It's definitely smoother and faster than HC. ;)

However, I sometime see:

"Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped." :(

I have wipe all and followed the exact steps from OP installation instruction. Do any of you have idea about this problem?

How can I avoid this bug message any more ?

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
Okay. Can you get a log? If yes, PM me. If you do not know, download alogcat from the market and go Menu button/Find/gapps. I think you can let the app run in the background.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] folkland:
black screen of death

so I flashed w/o wiping from v1.3 to 1.4 on a WiFi tablet and everything was fine. This evening I was browsing on Chrome browser and the tablet went to a blank black screen. I am now unable to reboot or use the power and volume button combo to get into CWM. If I plug it in it wakes to a black screen and sleeps as usual. I didn't mess with any CPU settings.

I'll try Odin shortly....

Guess its back to TouchPad for awhile.

"Unfortunately, YouTube has stopped"............... :(

I can't even view YouTube after flashing this ROM although I have wipe all things and followed OP instructions...........
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] folkland:
It responds to charging and it actually turns on to a black screen (screen on but all black). Hitting the power button will turn the screen off and hitting it again will turn the screen on. The battery read it was was about 90 charged when the screen first went blank. So I can't Odin I guess for right now I'll just let the battery completely die and then go from there, not sure what else to try.

Edit: When on it lets me connect to the PC and browse the files, (WTF?) so it seems to be alive but the screen turns on to a black screen even in post - I wish I could see system files to try to pull a log or something. Just o be cl;ear the screen light sup to all black pixels so it's not completely dead or anything.

Edit yes - all settings were stock. I had updated Go Launcher earlier today, but that shouldn't impact recovery mode even if it messed up ROM.

If you had not had Gtab, I would tell you to pull the battery. So the tab did not shut down? Is it running? If it is on, force shutdown by pressing the Pwr button for 5 seconds. If it is off, you can always try pressing the pwr button for 12 seconds and thinking "please turn on". It worked for me once. Tell me how that goes.

Do this: Connect with adb (if it works) and type adb devices. Tell me the output. It sould show some number and then possibly text in brackets or not.

Does the screen respond in any way? (Beyond screen backlight)?

I always do data wipe but I experienced unable to open market too both from shortcut and the apps drawer. Seems like missing google account but I couldn't find where to add account manually. Under settings there is account setting for corporate/email but I'm not sure if it is google account setting.

This occurs when installing both P7300 and P7310 beta 1.4 with GappsV2.

Several installation even don't have the market and gmail, or maybe I've downloaded unclomplete gapps.

Then I install GappsV3 and I have the initial google account setting, timezone setting upon first boot, and everything goes well.

So maybe the initial account setting and timezone setting is in the gapps zip file I guess :)
