I used ODIN to flash the Stock KHA firmware thinking it would fix the /data partition but no. The same error appeared in Stock Recovery. The only solution (after ODIN'ing and redownloading several ODIN images/firmwares) was wiping through the Stock Recovery, nuking all stuff inside including SDcard contents. Only after that, I could then access the SDcard through the Stock Recovery and the bootloops would stop. I can only hope this no longer happens after testing Beta 1.3 since it didn't happen with the Alphas.

@Devs: Please add the torrents to the op or just lnk to my post. I you wish I can update always this post.

@All: Love this Project and want support it, but I'm way to slow with loading.

Any one can create a torrent with these trackers:

and send it to ceno_b24m@sendtodropbox.com so i will load it and seed it automatically.

I see your scare and raise you a full on hard brick. Had a similar situation on beta 1 - was running happily, browsing the web, and it just locked up. Hard power off resulted in a boot loop. As I was on the road I thought I'd nip into recovery and restore my nandroid of Overcome - which failed claiming it couldn't mount /system. What I should have done at that point was powered off and waited until I could get in front of Odin, but that would have been too easy. I found a few references online (now looking on my phone!) saying that the "can't mount system" can arise from restoring a ROM using a recovery from another ROM. Said reference suggested wiping and installing the ROM update.zip then doing the restore. I had the Overcome ZIP around, so I tried that. The install hung - and then, when I tried a hard power off and on again, that was it - "game over, man, game over". All I ever got out of that tab after that was ADX mode (i.e. a clobbered boot loader) and I ended up taking it back to the shop and doing the "lulz I am stoopid user my tab is borken it just went black dunno why" act. Thankfully they gave me a replacement.

The moral of the story is, the moment recovery stops acting as you expect stop what you're doing, do not pass go, do not collect £200, proceed directly to Odin.

On SGS phones, Allshare is linked into the TouchWiz framework which means it won't work without TouchWiz. I suspect that the AllShare on the Galaxy Tabs is the same.

I am having a P7300 3G version, but I'm very confused to the download link and version as quoted.

In the GT-7300 Downloads category, the file is 7310 ? :confused:

So only Alpha2 is available for 7300 ?? no Beta 1.3 on Feb1 ??

What version should I download??

Is the 3G working well in this ROM?

Does Tethering work ?

Hope some one can let me know more about how this ROM works on 3G version.

Thank you very much. :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] fishton:
Yes take the Alpha 2 for P7300, there is a mess in their links and no beta version yet :)

Regarding 3G, yes it orks perfectly in that rom. As far as Tethering is concerned, BT works but not Wifi hotspot

Without HW Acceleration still not usable for me on a daily basis.

Adding support for USB connection kit as a higher prio can be arguable thus. for me it is essential...

well i can still hope in some near future that we will have nice working ICS.

an they lived happily after.

i dont like apple much but i hope this time samsung will be releasing official ICS soon or Ipad will win again... so sad!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:

And also distort on bottom left of screen while scrolling left in youtube gallery. No issue on scrolling to the right.

I've just bought a usb connection kit but when I plug it in I can't see the flash drive. I've tried different drives but none of them work; I'm just trying to determine whether I've received a duff usb connector. I presume everyone else can connect a usb flash drive on this rom?

This is fine for me but the ability to just tap the icon once the volume bar is up to mute is not present; is it a TouchWiz mod?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jai134:
I have a question. I prefer Quicpic over default image viewer. I is no problem when I tap an image that is stored locally on my tab but when I am watching the images stored on my NAS I dont get a choice which viewer to use. I dont understand how to set default imageviewer when I dont get a menu to choose from.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nkrick:
Probably. It is not present on my SGS running ICS. It's funny, except for the color (green vs. blue), the volume bar on my Tab running HC looks like it belongs in ICS more than the volume bar in ICS does!

Am I understanding correctly that the thread title says Galaxian Soup Beta 1.3 for 7310/7300 but that it's really not available for 7300? That is not helpful. :(

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nycbjr:
There is only so much space available in the title, and we are working hard to sync the versions (they are close), we don't feel the 7300 is stable enough to term "beta" so its still an alpha.

However to help clean things up, and less confusing it's been requested we consolidate to one thread, bare with us this isn't our full time jobs, but we are trying very hard to bring the best rom(s) we can to you. Now if only we could get the stinking camera working lol

Then we can turn to feature requests!

PS I'm also trying to clean up the OP, when u have little time, and lots do keep up with, along with merging 2 threads together its not always easy (plus the markup language leaves allot to be desired) to make things tidy.

Thanks for keeping the faith!

usb/external sd connection kit issue

I have the original Samsung connection kit and when I connect either USB or SD I don't get any kind of prompt, initially I thought that this is not working but turns out the drive is mounted in /mnt/usbdrive. I don't know how to disconnect the devices gracefully without the Android prompt. I'm running beta 1.3

Is anyone else experiencing this?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] the Doctor:
This is my non-dev contribution to the project. Using Antutu, I have benchmarked the stock Samsung Honeycomb 3.2 ROM (P7300XXKJ6 HTJ85B.ZSKK2) and Galaxian Soup ICS Alpha 1 for P7300 for comparison.

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	Diff
Mean	SD	Mean	SD	+/-
RAM	817	1%	828	0%	1%
CPU Integer	1421	1%	1432	0%	1%
CPU float-point	1091	0%	1098	0%	1%
2D graphics	293	1%	281	1%	-4%
3D graphics	904	1%	627	0%	-31%
Database IO	354	4%	322	10%	-9%
SD card write	115	6%	135	8%	17%
SD card read	191	1%	190	1%	0%
Total score	5186	0%	4911	1%	-5%

Conclusions

On the CPU side we really see no difference between TW Honeycomb and Galaxian Soup ICS. I really expected to see something. That’s great to see.

On the other hand, Galaxian Soup takes a big hit with 2D/3D graphics and Database IO. Earlier in the thread, the devs noted that they are still working on hardware acceleration, so there is hope that we’ll see this improve in future betas.

One area that Galaxian Soup ICS shines is SD card write performance, bringing +17% to the table. That (in part) accounts for why the device boots so fast, plus it lacks a lot of TW bloat. But this will certainly add to the overall feel of the device under Galaxian Soup ICS as our apps come up quicker.

I also noticed that the overall standard deviation in I/O database performance for TW was only 4% whereas GS ICS was less consistent at 10%.

Thus, overall the Galaxian Soup ROM is rated 5% slower. But that’s probably meaningless for day-to-day use.

Observations

I also own an HTC Wildfire S and ran the same benchmarks comparing the stock HTC Sense 2.3.5 ROM with Cyanogenmod 7 2.3.7 and had similar findings. The stock ROM was superior in 2D/2D performance but CM7 gave back an extra 10% in Database IO and SD card write. Interesting correlation.

For gamers, the stock TW ROM is still the way to go for now. But I doubt that will be the deciding factor for most of us. I’m still waiting for working cameras!

oooh sounds nice. what exactly are you talking about? a custom launcher like apex, nova or trebuchet? would be nice!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
I ahev just discussed your post with nycbjr. We both unanimously agreed that custom launcher are BAD. I will cite him :

I could agree on using the hc launcher if it is stable, but custom launcher are not what we are currently thinking about. Currently, I have replaced the home, back, menu and recent apps button, looked at if I could get some fonts, which of you want to suggest one, feel free. Maybe I will replace or edit the look of settings.apk, I wanted to edit the color maybe "gmail grey" or beige.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
haha didn't say i WANT a custom launcher. i was just trying to understand what you were aiming for. ;)

so basically you are going to skin the custom launcher to make it look better?

no problem there for me!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
Sorry for that. I might skin the custom launcher, and for transparency lovers, I will try to port the HC launcher from Xoom or TF101. Well see if it will work and how smooth and stable will it be. If that does not work out, I will dig deep in the stock launcher a bit and see what works. Also, I have played with SystemUI.apk. As I said, the SW keys look outstanding. And I hope to get an answer from one dev to help me on changing the color of the notificationbar. Also, I have messaged the person who created the app for hiding the Not. bar and even though I do not believe it will work, we will see.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
Question:

What clock font is better? HC or ICS?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pvillasuso:
IMO , overall ICS has smoother fonts .
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] chienline:
ICS is wider, bigger, easier to read (for me) :D

The cyan color is also good I think ;)

Just add wifi on/off button if possible :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
I do agree on that. My first tests of the UI running with HC were succesfil. Now it is time for ICS. Otherwise, I was thinking of keeping the Clock and lockscreen font, but hoping to change the Notification bar clock font to the one i found on transformer. I am open to any ideas though.

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

There is a widget for that. I will look for it, but I fear that would take editing the entire framework which would probably cause ui instability. I will try though. I agree with the cyan. Just have a look at some TF101 stock roms. That is what I would call useful UI edit. Exact opposite of TW.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jai134:
About fonts. I use an app from a Swedish bank. Handelsbanken. The fonts in that app reminds me of when I have forgotten to install fonts on a fresh install of Arch Linux. Very thin and weak in "blackness". On my Nexus S running ics 4.0.3 the fonts looks good in the same app. Any ideas? I will try to reinstall to see if it makes any difference. Dont think so though.

Edit: No it didnt do any difference.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] the Doctor:
Similar deal here. One of my apps looks great in stock 3.2 with small font setting, but very pixelated in GS. I did notice that the stock ROM has a special Helvettica font installed.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] chienline:
Yes we already have "power control" widget which has that functionality, but if I want to save power by turning off wifi, I have to get into settings from notification bar or else go to home screen, turn off by widget, then back into app I'm working with.

In HC we can just turn it off from notification bar without leaving the working app :D

But first we have to vote which way is better for others. For me, I don't bother more few clicks, if we get used to it, we can turn it off fast and get back to working app anyway for now we have smooth apps switching rom (Galaxian Soup) ;)

For the "back, home, recent apps" icons just find more futuristic ones, but they must represent their function :)

I haven't seen Transformers and Xoom UI but I'll search more to review.

Great works. Now I'm not going back to HC really :D
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pvillasuso:
You can do that with ICS , did you try @kallt_kaffe ICS ROM ?

The option is there at the notification bar :D
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
Actually, you can do it in HC thanks to TW. Ill see if I can add this to my UI!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
I have fulfilled both of your requests. The notification bar is just like CM9, and I ported TF101 hone, back etc. icons. Release to come soon!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] SecretAgentKen:
Quick question. Is the plan to make this a custom mod based on AOSP (like CM) or pure AOSP with the changes necessary to make it work? Including 3rd party apps and modding the notification bar seems to be going the custom mod path.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
Thanks for asking that question. We are still AOSP, but we do have features from CM. It is plain impossible to add the wifi, Bluetooth and other toggles without using some CM stuff. For example, the SysteUI.apk is partly CM to get the features you would like. This will not decrease the speed. And I feel it being smoother. I can also confirm that these changes have greatly reduced the rotation bug.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
Then let's add it!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jai134:
Fantastic! You are really an amazing team.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] otaku888:
I thought the motto of this rom was 'dont wee on my ICS', and aimed to provide a 100% unmodified AOSP version of ICS. So far so great.

I think if you start to meddle with it any changes should be optional flashable updates.

I can't speak for others but I'm happy nothing has been tampered with, I don't want other peoples ideas of cool buttons and cool fonts in my rom, I just want it simple and usable.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
I'm with you. I just talked with our team and Galaxian-Soup rom will stay as pure as possible.
