We already have the leaked Xoom ICS rom for weeks now. It's not much use to us, Xoom uses different camera hardware and it has a different (older) media system. Motley is trying to get our kernel working with Xoom libs, but no success yet.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pomah:
Thats to bad, I wish you luck and I hope you get it all functioning soon.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kalel90:
Do you by chance know if the transformer uses the same media system as us? The update for it should be out soon.

also i mean the original transformer with tegra 2 and not the prime with 3. Didn't want to confuse anyone.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Hurrian:
Just a heads-up: pershoot over at p4-land apparenly has HD video acceleration working.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kalel90:
Then we will have it very soon. Hes very friendly with our dev community as far as i know.

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

Actually hes gonna push it to the cm9 repo so we will def. be getting it any day now.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
awesome awesome awesome! getting all itchy to flash something new ;)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] _motley:
LOL. Yes, I am aware and thanks to pershoot, we will be good to go very soon. Just got a build working. Unfortunately its time to get some rest now, but tomorrow after work I should be able to get the changes uploaded to github so we can get something released. So far in limited testing, flash is now stable and hd vids are working nicely with full hw decoding.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Loccy:
You, sir, are a steely eyed missile man.

Complete tangent: Any chance the new build can identify itself as something a bit more known than "p5wifi"? I use Voodoo screentune and apparently (according to the dev) the reason it doesn't work on your ROM is because "ROM development keep inventing device names".
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
P5 and P5WIFI was invented by Samsung. It's the names used in the kernel code.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] deweylim:
Thank you sir! Can't wait. ;)

What is a situation with scrolling by finger on ICS?

On Honeycomb was slow and laggy. :/
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
scrolling on ics is buttery smooth as far is i feel about it, and that is without hardware acceleration!!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ibanezq:
Can you show me a movie with web scrolling? (@yt)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
sorry i don't have the means to record a video right now and upload it but i just opened up engadget (a pretty flash and image heavy site) and it was scrolling wonderfully smooth. no lag whatsoever. (must say though that my tab is OC'd to 1,5ghz which probably makes a difference aswell)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ibanezq:
It's a good information because Honeycomb work awful.

My HTC Sensation XE @2.3.4 is very speedy and when I bought Tab 8.9 and I test him first hours I was little disappointed.

BTW, it's interesting why HC works slow - weak optimization?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
HC was googles first OS for tablets and one could say it was rushed a bit. by now they had time to make it more stable and faster so expect ICS to be quite a bit better.

if i were you i would just do a nandroid backup of your HC system and just go ahead and flash this to see for yourself how much of a difference it makes. if you don't like it you can always restore HC again ;)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
We have hw acceleration, otherwise the rom would be completely unusable.

We didn't have hw video acceleration, but now we have this also working and it will be in next release.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
ooops sorry got that confused ;)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nycbjr:
Good news!

Late last night using help and knowledge from Pershoot (you are amazing man), Motely got HW video acceleration going on our gorgeous little tab!

I'll update the OP shortly, but expect Galaxian-Soup Alpha 3 in a few days!.

Gapps&smoothness

Hey, anybody got feature requests for gapps? For now, I can accept apps you want in there. I promised the Googlebooks app, and that is waht you will get! Understand that it isn't possible to use the one form Honeycomb, it seems incompatible; but now, when ICS for transformer is officialy out, I can port the "official version" to our rom. Also, eve with people saying the scrolling is smooth, we want the system emen more smooth and responsive. Nothing major, need to discuss this with nycbjr, but some build prop tweaks ,might help. About screen rotation, this is a hard one since as has been said here, the tablet is upside down. We got the rotation work smooth using build prop, but only getting the screen to rotate at a specific angle, but not a one you would want to use your tab in :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
How about including google currents?

sadly its not available in the market outside the US so we have to sideload it, but its a great newsfeed reader.

Yes we know one issue is that the wifi devices show mobile data, we will have this fixed as soon as we can.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] sudec123:
Great job done guys. Thanks a lot for the alpha3, but could you please upload it somewhere else, since fileserve is not allowing to download other than your own content. Thanks

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] solarus2011:

EDIT: Never mind...should have read the OP first...doh!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tommrazek01:
I believe nycbjr will update this in the main post. here is what I added/subtraccted in the Gapps!

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] taiger78:
Would it be an idea to join the 7310 and the 7300 thread with both releases in this tread. It would be easier to follow the progress and bugs that are reported then ...

By the way is there coming a 7300 version of alpha3 with HW-video working :p
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] bdfull3r:
when i was flashing the A3 rom to my 7310 wifi. complete data and cache wipe. i got an odd message in recovery

Installing update...

Galaxian-Soup ICS alpha3 for Galaxy 8.9 Wifi

Random offset: 0x44

Done, please reboot your tablet and be patient

as of right now it doesn't appear to have an affect on performance but i JUST flashed it
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] RedMist:
Install gone cleanly after a wipe.

Very sweet!!!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] bdfull3r:
Another good example, but my wifi is broken, if i can get it to work i think it will finally be my daily driver with flash and HW video

Bugs mostly already known bugs:

*Wifi is spotty, i get a couple seconds of normal speed followed by minutes of horrendous speed

*There is a 3g indicator in the notifcation bar

*screen rotate uses black, less annoying then the warped invert but still bad

*task switcher still inverted
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nycbjr:
We are aware of hte mobile data indicator (see the OP and my post a bit earlier), its a side affect of one of the librariers or kernel tweaks, we'll have it fixed by Alpha 4..

in the mean time you can try removing Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk and it goes away, Ive been running all day without these with little affect We don't know the affect on battery life yet, but I'm sure someone will let us know lol

as to yoiut other bugs, be sure you did a wipe/data factory reset
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nycbjr:
Random Offset is present in every ICS flash rom, it is nothing to worry about, I wonder if anyone ever figured out what that really means, but every ICS rom has it that I'm aware of.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nycbjr:
Just checked link is still good.. I'll try and find a few more sites later..

its been awhile since I created a torrent lol.. I'l look into it

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] sorrowrain:
not just on gtab 8.9.

it is present in all ics rom on galaxy s2 and gtab 10.1 and galaxy s.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
P7300 version is coming, but it will take some time. We have hw video acceleration working, but making the changes has caused some unwanted side effects. It will be released as soon as we get the bugs fixed.

As the builds are different, one version may have features that the other one doesn't and having them in one thread will make bug tracking more complicated because not all remember to post which version they are using, so i think they should be kept separate.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Um...take a look at this. I am afraid Filesonic is no longer an option.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Loccy:
Installed, and is bloody awesome.

One little request for future builds - I did ask earlier in the thread, but any chance you could put more sensible values in build.prop for the various device name entries? Shouldn't it be GT-P7310 throughout rather than a mixture of this in some places and p5wifi in others?

It's an issue for me as a user of Voodoo Screen Tuning as Voodoo refuses point blank to play if the build.prop entries aren't something it recognises. Was there another reason you had these other entries?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] bdfull3r:
is anyone else having slower then usually wifi issue?

i flashed and reflash both with complete cache, dalvik, and date wipes, including install with data wipe. I am still have ungodly slow wifi speeds from more then one wifi networks, both networks that were exceptionally fast
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] fuybjeans:
I just happened to run speedtest.net app before and after and I'm getting exactly the same speeds.

I probably should add the connections were both fast at about 16mbps
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] bdfull3r:
then what am i doing wrong here lol?

i tried it with two different networks that can run from 5-10mps, one with WPA2 and the other open, both of them drop to 3G like speeds, 500kps at the most. i completely re-wipe data and cache the first time and did a complete wipe and reflash again and still the same results...

wifi 8.9, no overclocking, this is with the strict core apps (maybe that is the problem? grasphing at straws) without any other apps being installed. it took it half an hour to download titanium backup
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] MaxCarnage:
Fantastic work guys; marked improvement from the stock ROM. Its great to have ICS back; folders for the win! ;-)

Edit: Noticed that bookmarks from chrome aren't showing icons or labels in the main bookmark window. Subfolder bookmarks show their labels just fine. It makes it irritating to browse through bookmarks in the browser, but they look fine in the bookmark widget.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] d1gw33d:
Were both the wifi networks in the same region? It could be a wider network issue affecting your connection to market servers.

---------- Post added at 04:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 AM ----------

Running great @ 1.4Ghz! Nice work. Youtube, Netflix and Plex running with no issue.

Other than a system freeze while I was reinstalling all my apps from market (prior to my overclock) I haven't had any issues.

Thank you!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] varpness:
Just curious, why do you guys feel the need to overclock? It seems to run great to me.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] txspaderz:
More power!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] fuybjeans:
Running Alpha3 at standard speed is definitely faster (and smoother) than running an overclocked 3.2. I think we're seeing the real benefits of ICS in this release.

I've been running it for about 8 hours now and have zero problems to report.

Unbelievable job guys.

Thanks again for your hard work!

I just feel that the wifi works great. Before this I have a week wifi signal in my bedroom, and found several blankspot, now I have it doubled. I can surf well anywhere in my room :)

Note: my wifi router is in middle room 2nd floor and my bed room is on 3rd floor at the back.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pomah:
Hi, first of, thanks for the rom, it works great and i'm very happy. I tried to remove (rename) phone.apk, telephony.apk and wappush.apk, but the signal bar is still there, cleaned catch and dalvik after this and still no succes. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
You need to add these lines:

DEVICE_PACKAGE_OVERLAYS += \

And recompile...

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pomah:
Since I have no compile environment ready, I guess I will have to wait for alpha 4.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Btw, not sure if this build has the problem with distorted charging indicator when charging in LPM-mode (charging when "powered off").

If it has (my CM9 build had that problem until recently) it is because it is using bitmaps taken from a P75xx ROM. Replacing all the .qmg images in /system/media with P73xx versions fixes this.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] sudec123:
I had this issue with alpha 2. Now this issue is not present in alpha3 for me. However i have something better now. When I plug in the charger and the tab is powered off, it automaticaly turns on. That would be all good if the touch screen would work. I had to unplug it and hold the power button untill it powers off. If i plug it in when powered on i have no issues.

Thanks for the input kallt_kaffe. Funny thing, I browsed your git last night for the first time and found these two changes and merged them. I committed this morning and then came on here today and found your posts about the patches. In alpha4, not yet released, data is now off (good), but lpm mode is still flaky for some reason. I am going to do some checking to see what I can find as soon as I get a chance. Two steps forward, one step back. As soon as we get done, Samsung will release Wiz-ICS HaHa. At least we will have choices....fun times.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] chienline:
Here are what I found:

- Power off charging turns the TAB on but no touchscreen. Should unplug and long press the power button to reboot then I got the touchscreen working normal.

- eBook not working with "Unfortunately, eBook has stopped." message.

- Polaris Office not working with the same message.

- gTalk cannot establish video call (must be camera problem).

- Last Open Item Preview is rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

The rest work just fine for me, or I haven't figure out yet :p

Youtube, flash, a very responsive screen, all good.

Charging with Power-On has no problem.

For now I'm going back to OC rom until 3G is release and office apps are all I need :)

Thank you Guys.

This might contribute to the discussion about Wifi being slow.

I am getting normal Wifi speeds but my Wifi tether is almost a crawl now. I've tried in different parts in and out of two different cities with the same poor results.

I will try some other experiments to confirm it's ICS related.

Edit: False alarm. I rebooted my phone and speeds are back to normal.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Here's a thing I fixed this morning that will not get into my github that you might want to implement.

In frameworks/base/packages/SystemUI/src/com/android/systemui/screenshot/GlobalScreenshot.java (line 351) change:

float degrees = getDegreesForRotation(mDisplay.getRotation());

into:

float degrees = getDegreesForRotation(mDisplay.getRotation()) - 90f;
if (degrees == -90f)
degrees = 270f;

This will fix the screenshots. I will clean this up later and make it use ro.sf.hwrotation and push it to CM's gerrit but since you are not using CM sources this hardcoded fix will be enough.

EDIT: Tom Giordano posted a fix for this on gerrit this morning that also includes a fix for the rotation animation so you may want to give that one a go instead.

MD5 mismatch - Help !

Hi,

I had no problem until now switching firmwares. Suddenly - after playing arounf with Alpha 3 I decided to go back to my old system. I tried to resote the nandroid backup and all my backups cannot be restored to to a MD5 checksum mismatch ???

I have changed the filename of the backup though to distiguish between different backups. Was this the problem ??

What else could it be ?? Can I do a Nandroid restore without checking the MD5 ??

Thansk for any help!
