I am having an issue with Superuser. When I click settings I get "application stopped unexpectedly". I am used to check for updates for the su-binary that way. It seems like it is working though. It gives my filemanager root access.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tvi:
Mine is P7300 and I haven't reboot since I flashed Alpha2 few hours after your release (up time is more than 120h). My average daily usage is about 4 hours.

It might be different perspective of how we look at it. But definitely it is 10 time faster the Stock HC or Overcome Rom.

I've posted a video of my tab @1000MHz Youtube.com/watch?v=sTuc7uOFLeo Give it a look. (Sorry for the poor quality). As I mentioned before, it wasn't rebooted since I flashed it. I rebooted after the recording and haven't noticed any difference. Although I found that when it is in portrait mode it a little bit faster.

I usually OC @1400MHz to play 720p movies using software acceleration.

What I've also noticed that charging is way much faster with your build.

Although I'm loosing 3G connectivity and HW Acceleration but not going back to HC after the sweet taste of ICS. :p

Have you tried updating it manually through CWM Recovery using this file? That file's directly from the Android SU app developer.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jai134:
That did do the trick. No fc on superuser anymore.Thankyou again.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] sudec123:
I flash the ROM yesterday. It works really great. Didn't really find any problems with it. Everything was really nice and smooth.

I however had one issue which kind of convinced me to go back to my stock ROM.

When I plug in the charger the screen look like this. I have taken the picture when the tab was turned off, because when I plugged the charger in when it was still on the same distortion occurred and the tab freezes. So basically I couldn't charge the thing without turning it off.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] deweylim:
Hi, will you fixed the auto brightness issue with the new release. The other ICS rom has the auto brightness working. Thanks for the hardwork.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] chienline:
Google has launch Android Design website. There are a lot of information for ICS dev there. SDK, references. Take a look here:

developer.android.com

Hope there are informations you guys need to boost this project :D

I'm waiting for 3g to work for I rely on this connection :D
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
Just a little update... almost there...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] RKmd:
Wow, the progress on this ROM is incredible! I'm not a 3G user myself (7310 model), but I'm sure those 7300'ers out there are excited. :D

Thanks for the timely updates on your progress - we're all very appreciative. :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] goenieg:
I can't wait :-)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] varpness:
Well, I gave in and tried it. I told you I was going to wait until you had the camera working but the lag on Honeycomb was driving me crazy.

I've had it running since yesterday and it's amazing! Everything is faster. It opens apps almost instantly, it scrolls smoothly, and it doesn't randomly freeze up from having to many things running like it used to. To my mind, the speed is well worth the increase in battery drain. I went from 10% standby loss with wifi in 8 hours to 10% in 5 hours. In a real-world scenario this just means I went from 8 hours of actual use throughout the day to 7. That's acceptable to me.

I really don't have any negatives that everyone doesn't already know about but I'll list them briefly for anyone who is using my mini-review to determine if they want to install it or not.

Using the slider to select camera from the lock screen reboots the device. This is because the cameras don't work yet. I don't see a camera icon in that recent "sneak peek" so I'm guessing our benevolent devs are still having problems with that.

Flash doesn't work, which is a shame since there are several pages I use with flash and I like to rub it in the face of iPad users; although they give me the typical sour grapes response of "flash is going to be outdated in two years. "

Netflix doesn't work; this is because the hardware decoding thingamabopper doesn't work yet. I'm pretty sure this is near the top of the to-do list.

The compass is reversed. What this means in real-life is that Google maps says you are facing the opposite direction. However, I found that while driving it points in the correct direction and navigation worked fine. I haven't tried an app like Google Sky yet.

And finally, the weird screen rotation problem exists, although it does not actually slow down the rotation; it just looks weird for a moment. It will be nice when it's working properly, but it's really no big deal since it doesn't hinder function.

I will see if I have the charging problem mentioned yesterday when I charge it in a bit. I wanted to get some good battery stats first.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that it did randomly reboot on me once during the first hour that I had ICS running. It was just sitting on my desk, idle.

I want to thank everyone for their hard work and I look forward to the very special Martin Luther King Jr. edition of ICS coming out tomorrow. j/k

Edit: A quick update. The battery charges half as quickly as before, only 10% per hour.

Edit 2: After allowing it to charge without using it, I'm getting close to the original charge speed again. My mistake. Also, no screen glitch while charging.

Edit 3: Google Sky works. I checked the compass directions and it is accurate.

Edit 4: This rom doesn't like Google Earth. I did a fresh install from Market and after playing with it for a couple minutes it did a forced shutdown along with the weird battery charging screen. The weirdness went away when I restarted but Google Earth consistently shuts down.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
We have working 3G connection on P7300!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] goenieg:
Excellent poisike, now release it :-)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
Unfortunately i can't do that yet. There are some small things that are messed up in our P7300 build that work in P7310 build. I don't believe you want a build that has problems that our P7310 build doesn't have. Most of the things are easy to fix, but with one thing we need motley to update the 3G kernel.

I will do my best to post the P7300 build as soon as possible.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] goenieg:
Thanks poisike, appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] isimobile:
Hey poisike, Nice to see :).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
Nice to see you here and thank you very much for your help!

Everyone with a P7300 should click Thanks under isimobile post, he is the one who made the 3G fix and was friendly enough to share it with us (i wish there were more developers like him).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] taiger78:
Nice, When it is released I will try it :)

+1 for you and isimobile
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] xpla:
Really great news! My unlimited data plan got bored ...

Still I have isdues with calendar synch ...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] varpness:
I very much enjoyed ICS, but in the end, I had to shout, "Me want honeycomb, me want honeycomb! " (old cereal allusion)

I missed my Netflix, camera, and Google Earth too much.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] _motley:
Thanks again for contacting me, we really appreciate your help! This is how open source is supposed to work. Yes, everyone please give isimobile thanks!

Good work today! Glad to hear the MTP was working after the last kernel update. A bit more testing and tweaking and the 3G should be even with the Wifi build. Now if this work stuff would just quit getting in the way haha!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] chienline:
I've notice the tiny 3g icon in your former update images. But not sure if it is working already :D

Will download soon as you release it ;)

Many thanks to the Team
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
yes they have it working!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
Yes, 3G works on our P7300 build. I fixed some more things yesterday night and Motley updated the P7300 kernel so MTP works also on our P7300 build now. If i don't discover any more strange bugs then our P7300 build will probably be released today.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] xpla:
Awesome! Can't wait to download it though i have still a paper to finish today :p
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
after running this for a day i have a few issues.

my superuser seems to be broken. whenever i open it up and chose settings it crashes. will try to remove it and reinstall from market to see if problems go away.

some apps (honeybar especially) don't request root permission and thus not work. im guessing this has to do with SU aswell. titanium backup works great though...pretty strange.

sadly PLEX doesn't stream movies, just sound. im guessing this has to do with HW accel not working. this is quite a bummer i thought at least SD content would play without trouble :(

otherwise its really smooth and running well.

looking forward to the next release!

edit: i fixed superuser menu not working but honeybar still doesn't get root...maybe its ics incompatible?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
And also, some people were claiming the market in the gapps as not-the-tablet version. Also, the music will be skinned to the ICS look in the new build, since when you get a release, you will definitely get new gapps. Just working on them, maybe we could release them earlier, we'll see how it goes. Its definitely great news for the 7300 people that poisike got the 3g working. We hope to get one of the two, camera or the hw acceleration work till the new build, but we can't promise anything :)

New stuff in the Gapps:

The tablet market (not sure if nycbjr has fixed this, i'm a little outdated with my build)

I'm hoping to push google books to the build too.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
would definately put more effort into HW accel.

no one really needs the cam. everyone has a real cam or at least a cellphone. i think i haven't used my tabs camera once since i got it ;)

so i would definately vote HW accel as more urgent!

thanks for the great work guys!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] goenieg:
Yes, confirmed. i think this has to do with ICS also
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
True, nobody says we are not working on HW acceleration :). I agree, but if I was you, i wouldn't worry about it. We are working hard on getting the acceleration moving, because a smooth ROM can get much smoother with HW Acceleration. Some people might find the camera useful, some not. To me, it is probably not much more useful than to you, I used it only once when I got it to test the quality. I understand the people who use it occasionally and it is certainly a nice feature to have and a feature a "complete" ROM would need.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
nice to see we have the same opinion ;)

how is the screen rotation bug coming along? the one where it gets stretched out for a second before righting itself.

does that have to do with HWA aswell?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
Nope, it is because samsung built the tab "upside down", so they had to fix that in build.prop. However, ICS is not too friendly with that. Working on a fix though.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] xpla:
I'm so excited that i can't concentrate on my paper :D

There's still the problem witch calendar synching.

Both Smooth Sync and build in Gmail synchronisation aren't able to retrieve calendar entries.

For my Gmail Account:

Sny com.android.calendar --> Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] varpness:
Could you, and a few others, please stop saying nobody wants or needs the camera. I think both hardware acceleration and cameras are important, and to say nobody wants a certain features is a little presumptuous. The front and rear cameras was one of the selling points for me, and one of the reasons I am using Honeycomb again, for now. The devs can work on both, and I'm pretty sure hardware acceleration is near the top of the list. ;-)

Thank you, and here is a lovely picture that I took from my tablet.

Me, staring at the guy who doesn't want the cameras to work.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] xpla:
Well after i tried the camera i came to the conclusion it must be from the Stone Age compared to that one in my iPhone, so i don't see a use of the crappy cameras ...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] goenieg:
Hahaha :-)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
Gapps update

Let's quit talking about cameras, both is important. I have better news for you. I just compiled the new Gapps! It is just a beta and will be tested and edited, but for now, it works great. This is what is new:

Android market that is said to be "tablet", but there are very little differences compaerd to nycbjr's market.

Skinned Google music - now it looks just like the ICS google music.It even has a widget on the lock screen just like Dood's music streamer has.

Google books

Thiking about deleting latitude, but for now, it will be included. We'll see about that one.

Lots of stuff like Google+ and others, but I think that will be deleted too, as I said, we will see
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jessevl:
I probably overlooked something, but why Google Music skinned

like

the ICS version, why not just use the ICS version?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
Well, just because nycbjr's was also ICS, but looked a little like gingerbread. They are both basically ICS. It is ICS Music. Sorry for not pointing that out.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] RedMist:
If you don't like the way screens stretch before they change (a standard ICS thing) have a play with the two animation scales in developer options.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] cpadrr:
I disagree, camera is important when I need to do Skype video calls.

wow seems like i stirred up quite a sh*tstorm with my camera comment ;)

anyhow having a pretty weird bug. every now and again when i charge my tab it breaks down. the screen is off and when i switch it on i see a totally distorted image of the battery charging. the tab is completely unresponsive and i have to resurrect it via power+volume it then boots normally and runs fine.

this has happened 3 times so far. sadly i don't have any logs :S
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] folkland:
I have experienced that exact same thing a few times. I usually just hold the power button down for 10 seconds to resolve the problem.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kalel90:
It doesn't matter. The camera requires proprietary binaries from samsung so were gonna have to wait for a rom leak or release from them before they can get that working. Its way way too much work to try and do it from scratch and even if they did it would take a significant amount of time. H/W acceleration is in a similar situation but its quite a bit easier to do from scratch than the camera is. Nearly every ics rom ive seen the cameras don't work for this very reason so i wouldn't hold my breath. Now im not a dev but ive read a lot about the issues with these roms so if a dev wants to correct me on any of these points i welcome it. Now please quit arguing about this.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nycbjr:
Strangely audio works (sd stream), but yes hardware accel related my bet.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nycbjr:
Interestingly, the original Galaxy Tab has the exact issue (complete with the build.prop fix), do they read upside down in korea? hehe kidding.. samsung seems to like their tablets rotated :-)

I've had it happen taking it out of the dock if I hadn't allowed the rotation before docking (or charging) to happen at least once after boot up, solid ever since.

you can reboot it using adb at the command line if you want a nicer way to reboot.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kalel90:
ics alpha with h/w video decoding on the adam is out. It uses tegra 2 but it might be an older version not sure none the less heres the link maybe it will be helpful.

http://notionink.wordpress.com/2012/01/14/here-is-the-alpha/

*actually after reading that again im not so sure. It says video acceleration is working then goes on to say hq youtube isn't so im not sure.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jessevl:
I actually do not think this is useful for us since the Adam uses an older platform (Harmony), and my best guess is our galaxy tab's 8.9 are based on the Ventana platform. On the bright side: our platform is still supported while Harmony is not.

By the way, I asked Samsung on FB when we would see an official ICS update and they actually said Q1, while their press release earlier stated Q2 for the tabs.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
Which means we have a 3 months before the oppnents show us our weapons :-) Wee, maybe we can fix a lot of stuff when the ICS update is out, but we hope it to be much earlier :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jessevl:
Samsung has a habit of leaking ROMs before they're officially released so who knows! :D
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] sudec123:
I have the following issue.

When I plug in the charger my screen becomes distorted and the tab freezes. :(

This happens also when I turn the tab off. In that scenario the screen look like this:

I tried to flash back to my stock backup and the problem was not present with the stock ROM. After I flash the ISC again and the same thing with the distortion again.:confused:

Otherwise everything works great. If the tab is charged and I don't have to plug it in no problem at all. USB connection works as well.

Any ideas??? Is it only me with this issue or did any of you had the same problem??
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
had exactly the same issue (described it a few pages back)

this is definately a ICS issue.

the cyanogen music mod for ICS has been released!

maybe its worth checking out and adding to the build:

http://www.seeingpixels.org/2012/01/cyanogenmod-9-music_16.html
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
That is a common bug. What can you do. Well get to it at some point. Now we need to be at the top of the list.

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

I just said that in the update. I'm not sure if we are using the same music app, or a similar one. Ill have a look, but it looks very similar

---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

It is different, and we would have to optimize it for tbalets. Its a good idea though. Lets stay with the old one for now.

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

Common Bug, nothing we can do about

Update: I have talked to the app dev. Maybe we can add that to the gapps. Stay tuned!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nycbjr:
OK let me restate..

Make ur after boot to allow one rotate to happen b4 plugging it in to a power source. If u get this scenario you can plug it into a computer and issue an adb reboot or do the one finger salute.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] bdfull3r:
Can't wait for the best release. If you get hardware acceleration working. This would br the thr most functional alpha in technology

Since the last adobe flash update I'm not seeing the green screen when playing flash video, which I had assumed was a fault with this rom.

Sorry.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
the last adobe flash update finally allowed it to work on ICS. so probably not a rom problem but just adobe fixing the incompatibility!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kalel90:
Using the cm9 nightly it still crashes the browser. I will have to flash this again and check it out to be sure.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] folkland:
I did some adobe and go launcher updates today and I noticed that my auto rotation is now really quirky. I will have to tinker with it some to look for root cause but I did switch back to stock launcher and still had the issue. And yes I have enabled and disabled auto-rotate.

Although if an app forces it to switch view modes it will do it', but my rotating the screen doesn't.

Figured it out:

I reset auto rotate and the rotate the screen the opposite way I normally do. It almost like it needed to be unwound. Oh well I'm happy again.

Edit 2:that didn't fix it - it was actually the mixzing music app lock widget that was messing up my rotations
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nycbjr:
Good Morning

Just wanted to post a quick update.

While this rom truly is working pretty darn amazing, all of us are looking forward to the next release. Unfortunately its been a difficult road to getting there. The 2 largest items remaining:

1. Camera - We have leads but so far no Tegra2 team has come up with a working camera yet, this doesn't mean we aren't trying!

2. HW video decoding - HD Youtube, Flash, Movies, all rely on this fix. Unfortunately this is one of the hardest nuts to crack, it involves many changes to the kernel to match them with the leaked libraries (amongst other things) to make it work. If anyone has ever messed around with the (linux) android kernel, its not as easy as it sounds, changes in one place can render things un-bootable easily. Thankfully we have a kernel genius on our team :-)

If Linus Torvalds acted the way a former member of this board (to whom I respect immensely I want to add), none of what we are doing today, would be possible. Its a real shame we could all be enjoying the fruits of his success but he chooses to keep it to himself and ban those who ask him for morning help in solving the above..

OK end subtle rant :-)

We will definitely get it working, and keep you posted!

In the meantime team member tommrazek01 has put together a new Google Apps package for us to enjoy, we will post that later this morning, it will update most of the apps, and add a nice music player. The package will come in 2 parts , a core version, and a core with optional.

And we have posted Alpha1 for the 3g Galaxy tab!!

ps Galaxian-Soup can always use more help, any one with some dev expertise, drop me a pm!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
awesome news guys.

i know i am spamming this across a few threads now but i would really like this looked into.

the touchscreen sensitivity on this device is pretty horrid (thanks samsung) but maybe a bit of poking around in the kernel could increase the sensitivity. i say this because i wanted to use a stylus to take notes but it hardly works because of the sensitivity issue. even my good ole nexus one has better detection of my stylus.

any insight into this would be really great!

thanks a lot guys!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kalel90:
Ah yes he banned me also but thanks to the great invention of dynamic ip's and emailing his partner in crime i got a dialog started with him but i cant seem to get him to budge on the sharing with others. I shall keep trying.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nkrick:
It appears that Cyanogen does not have HW acceleration working on the Tab 10.1 yet (and he works for Samsung!), so it may take longer to get things working on Tegra2 than anyone anticipated. http://rootzwiki.com/_/articles/meet-the-devs-cyanogen-r318

My guess is that he may have access to the sources through Samsung, but cannot use them for CM since they are protected by NDA with nVidia.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] bdfull3r:
So when can we hope for the next release? It is a matter of waiting until we grt a major fix like the camera or the hardware acceleration working or would it be more minor ICS goodness
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pomah:
xoom has just received its official ics update, it seems like both he account and camera is working on custom roms, maybe a good way to start?
