WiFi Direct

Can anyone confirm an issue with WiFi Direct on the current build? When I try to activate it in the settings, it does not do anything. All that happens is it says it will disconnect my current WiFi connection, I click OK, and nothing happens. The settings to activate WiFi Direct all change to a disabled look. On my Galaxy Nexus you get a notification that shows when WiFi direct is active. I am not getting any of that on this ROM. I would like to see this functional as it would help me with WiFi Direct app development.

Excellent battery for my needs!

So far battery has been phenomenal. After 1 day and several hours (Wi-Fi off because I turn it on when I actually use the tablet) and just 2% lost, on par or a bit better than Honeycomb.

So, I tested this extensively and unfortunately is still slower than your aokp version. I have no idea why but this is the general feeling. I'm back to aokp version for now.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] triften:
No offense intended, but how is this post helpful? The build was just posted a few hours ago, and you have already tested it "extensively"? As any qualified reviewer can attest, a multipurpose device with such powerful software cannot be evaluated in a mere few hours, and undocumented impressions of operational speed are really too subjective to be useful here.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] squishyx:
hi guys. on the latest 1.7.3 beta build (posted 4.5.12)

so far stuff not working is still:

Camera

Other issues:

MTP not working on PC (win 7)

will post updates
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ro_explorer:
I don't want to rant, really, but I can say I have quite some expeience in android devices and i know exactly where to look for weak points. The aosp version is definitely slower than the aokp one. I'm talking about gpu rendering (games) , general ui feeling, browsing, media streaming, local media play....

The rom might have nothing to do with it and I might have hit a kenel issue, I really don't know. I was just telling what I saw in half a day of really extensive testing.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
Both our roms use the same kernel.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] _motley:
Both ROMs use the same Android device tree + identical kernel, drivers and firmware (video, wifi etc.). Our AOSP build is essentially 4.0.4 vanilla Android build straight from Google (except for a couple tweaks like the reboot menu and some others). Our AOKP build is a very customized version of AOSP 4.0.4 that uses our device tree and kernel. Both ROMs are deodexed, so you have to let them settle in for a bit before they will perform their best. If you don't do a complete wipe when switching back and forth between ROMs, you may not get the best performance with either ROM. If you stay on the same ROM, wiping is usually not necessary unless you have strange issues. However, if you switch back and forth between these ROMs or others, we highly recommend a data wipe in CWM. It's possible that the launcher is smoother in AOKP, but honestly I can't tell a lot of difference on my 7310 after running both. I always run at 1.5GHz, so it may mask any differences that others may see at 1.0GHz.

Haha...just saw that you posted. Beat me to it!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ro_explorer:
Thank you for the detailed explanation.

Now, here is my setup.

Both roms were installed from a complete wipe.

After the initial install I've installed (one by one) the following softwares:

- APEX launcher (as it has some lag on some devices while is running perfectly smooth on others)

- GLWG (as it shutters on any tegra2 tablet if everything is being set-up at max quality)

- Apparatus (on certain complex levels it really demands computing power)

- ezPDF reader

- Adobe Acrobat Reader

- Documents to go

- Poweramp

- Dice player

- VPlayer

- System Tuner Pro

The CPU was set up at max frq. of 1200MHz with interactive governor.

After all these were installed I started to access my usual media, played the games at various graphical settings, opened documents of various sizes, opened youtube videos, played with the launcher, opened various web pages ... this kind of stuff. Overall, the AOKP flavor of Galaxian-Soup seemed more fluid overall. What can I say ... this is what I see.

I even kept CWM backups of both setups and I can switch between them (which I actually did since I was poked in this topic) and I still keep my conclusion. There is "something" in the AOSP version that makes the experience less fluid .. but I really like it because is very clean compared with AOKP rom (I really don't need so many ROM controls).

Just my 2 cents.

I'm really looking forward to a complete stable release with cameras and autobrightness working (I'm aware you guys need the official Samsung ICS release first to achieve that ... I'm just saying). And I really really appreciate your efforts.

Download Unsuccessful issue

Hmm. Version 1.7.3 of this ROM's smoother than the previous one, but I'm afraid I am now having some issues with the stock browser. Set As Wallpaper does not work, and all downloads fail with "Download Unsuccessful". Also yes, did all wipes before flashing the ROM, gApps and everything.

Edit: Oh and the "Download Unsuccessful" also happens in Chrome.

Edit 2: I cleaned normal Cache and Dalvik. Same issue. Cleared Download Manager's data as suggested by a Google search on the issue (which seems common with Android 4.0.4), but the issue persists. I cannot download anything from the browser. I didn't have this issue in the previous build. Some say the Dolphin browser uses its own Download Manager so I will try that one until this gets checked.

EDIT 3: Reported issue with logcat at the team's google page.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] varpness:
There's rumor of a gingerbread camera wrapper for ICS. Any possibility this idea could be adapted for the Tab 8.9?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] _motley:
Hey nirogu325, hope you are doing well. That is weird stuff. I just downloaded the zip from the OP using the stock browser and I just set as wallpaper from Gallery. Is anyone else seeing these issues? I may wipe clean and try the zip from the OP after I compare it with the internal zip I flashed with to see is there are any diffs. Thanks for the info man!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
All good thanks! Thankfully I have more time in my hands now after a truly busy month. I'm gonna try redownloading, then ODINing (nuking the device, lol) and finally reflashing. I read something about not setting the device with Automatic Date & Time, but it didn't had any positive effects here either. I'll report back.

Edit: Oh and the Set Wallpaper I talked about is from the stock browser itself. It didn't work here.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] _motley:
Thanks. Curious to see if others are having any issues. I can also set wallpaper from the stock browser without issues. If the date/time is wrong that could cause problems with market and getting cert errors from websites etc.. Your error for download says http 404 (not found), so something strange is going on. Let me know what you find out and I will do the same.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Ok. Still ODINing and when I go back to Honeycomb, the /data partition cannot mount, forcing me to do a complete wipe (which include SDcard contents). Kinda annoying. Anyway, tell nycbjr to fix the bug page link. A 404 error appears (has a <br> in the link lol).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] sorrowrain:
i have no problem with the new build.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Have you tried both downloading using the stock browser and putting a wallpaper from inside the browser with success?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Ok, I wiped the heck out of my 7310 (ODINed as I said earlier), redownloaded the ROM, reflashed, waited 20 mins (haven't even flashed gApps), rebooted, tested and I'm still with the issue. I wonder if it is the Download Manager in 4.0.4 or perhaps something else.

EDIT: :confused: Truly puzzled. It works with some pages now all of a sudden. What the...:confused:
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
About the download issue, it has always been there, also in stock HC roms, on all tablets that i have used. If the download link contains redirects then it will fail. If it doesnt, it works. I don't see anything different in our last build.

Set as wallpaper works for me.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
You're correct :). It works in alternate browsers such as Opera, so it's kind of a bummer. I really wanted to use just one browser (that one being Stock because of its smoothness and speed). Guess I'll have to use both when that issue rears its head. Oh, and, one last impression's that the battery lasts a little bit longer in this build. Can't wait until you guys get source. :D
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] _motley:
Yes, the redirect issue is a PITA. Some web pages and links won't load either and you will get a "Too many redirects" message. Seems like we might be able to fix this one. It seems as they meant well and were looking at security, but at the same time these pages work in other popular browsers, so it may be an actual bug and not a silly limitation.

nirogu325, glad you sorted your problems, or at least better understand what was going on. I have seen a few folks on HC and ICS lose their /data partition for some underlying reason and have to reload. I wish I knew what causes it. Knock on wood, it has never happened to me and I flash my tab a lot, almost as much as you do haha ;)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] chienline:
Well, it's getting better and better :)

Last time using B.1.6.4, several times I lost my 3g connection when I left my Tab for 20 minutes or more with stock browser running. The tray icon was there, sometimes greyed out. Browser not frozen but the connection was lost.

i haven't got the time to post this problem until B.1.7.3 was released and I tried leaving the browser for 3 hours ++ in idle. 3g connection is working good now :)

And I found no issue in changing wallpaper and downloading from stock browser.

i'll spare my time posting issue from this rom if I found one ;)

Great Team you have here. Great Job ...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Yeah, it looks like my tab doesn't like going back to Honeycomb. I actually forgot about that yesterday, but I luckily backed up everything, otherwise I'd be :mad:. Next time it happens, I will post back what the Stock Recovery says in red.

It's because it only happens in select pages. Whenever it happens I have to copy-paste the link on the other browser for it to work. The rest is smooth sailing. I haven't found any other issues. By the time the team gets their hands on source, further optimizing will be done. I hope Samsung hurries a little bit.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] dhruvraj:
Installed it today works great ..except one thing I found

My stock browser gets hung for some reason repeatedly now. I kill all running browser apps ..and after a while it comes back but again get hung after a minute or less

It was working fine earlier today in patches but I had this browser freeze (pages don't load anymore the status bar is hung ) throughout

I installed chrome and that seems to be OK so far. Any idea guys what could be wrong here ?

Also having issues wiwith google play not opening
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
It is known that the latest wifi drivers we use have a issue where it sometimes looses wifi connection. I haven't had any issues yet on 1.7.3, i had only two disconnects on 1.6.4 (in about two weeks i used it).

We use these drivers because they fixed tethering.

I have no idea about Google Play, works for me without any problems. Try to clear Google Play cache and data.

I did, no affect, still cant open google play the screen flashes black for half a second then returns to the ICS homepage

When you are referring to Google Play, what app is that? Their terrible new branding makes it difficult to distinguish from Store, Music or Books, for instance.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Have you tried redownloading, wiping and reflashing?

Google Play (or Play Store) is the new official name for the Android Market. I think they did that as a means of consolidating everything under one umbrella that has the company's name.

SUGGESTION TO THE DEV TEAM: Can you please put the MD5 or SHA-1 next time around as a way for checking the download's integrity, please?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] chienline:
I think you have to re-install gApps :)

I installed Beta 1.7.3 Over 1.6.4 without data wipe, and yes I found some apps were not working, especially those zip files installed from recovery mode. Then I have to re-installed from recovery mode and now they are working good. Give it a try :) otherwise do a complete data and cache wipe from nandroid :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
If you update from 1.6.4 to 1.7.3 then you need to flash gapps again.

Flashing new build deletes everything in system folder and thats where google apps are. If you have updated any of them before, then updates are in data folder, thats why you still see them, but they usually don't work if the original apk's are missing from system/apps. To get best results (without data wipe), you need to flash the same version of gapps that you had on the previous build. Your gapps will still be up to date because the updates you have installed are in data folder.

Cannot connect to kies

It seems for the past few versions of galaxian I cannot connect to kies via usb, it just keeps saying connecting. I have reinstalled kies and the drivers seem to be OK, maybe ive missed something in the forms about this? If I don't need kies to convert/import videos, how can I just have it show up as a drive letter? Thanks for any help.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
You don't need Kies to transfer stuff, and the tablet appears in My Computer section just fine. No issues here with that. Kies = headaches. I suggest uninstalling that bloat.

Question:

I have the ICS rom running now..made my 'desktop' nicer..apps downloaded..

now..if there is a new ICS rom from Galaxyian Soup..

When i flash that rom..(in what folder do i need to put the downloaded rom?).. do i have to install all apps again and rebuild my desktop?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] bdfull3r:
The new file can go anywhere. Just when you flash it. Boot into recovery and apply update from sf card, choose which zip to flash

As long ad it is a small update. When you flash the latest version' do NOT do a data wipe. Wipe the cache and the dalvik cache only and then fflash it

If you do decide o switch from AOSP. To AOKP or CM9 then you will need to do a data wipe and that will require you to download your apps again
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
If you update from a previous version of the same rom, then you don't need to wipe data. But you will need to flash gapps again. For best results, use the same version of gapps you used before. Also wipe cache and dalvik cache.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] SecretAgentKen:
Also if you're worried about losing your apps, use something like TitaniumBackup which can backup your apps and their settings so you can restore them after flashing. Data wipe through CM Recovery does not wipe out your sdcard directory where this stuff is stored.
