It is only weird because you have not bother to do a search before questioning. It has been asked and answered so many time before. In short, for the camera to work you need drivers from Samsung specifically the ICS drivers. We don't have ICS for the 8.9 yet hence no working camera yet.

Hey guys...

I need some user impressions. Does someone has compared the actuall cm9 build with the cm10 rom (both are ports made by kallt-kaffi).

At the moment I do use cm10, and I love it. And since a Samy-ICS is released for the 10.1 tab even the back camara works. In view of this: maybe the cm9 (cause ics) works even better than cm10

On my 8.9, cm10 is much better than cm9. On cm9, maps usually FC and when I ran too many apps, one of them usually behave strangely. Cm10 has none of these problems and is quicker. I know thatvwifi hotspots does not work on cm10 yet, if I remembered correctly it did worked on cm9 but it has been a long time since I have tried that feature on cm9. Oh, cm10 does blackout from time to time (less than a sec) on my tab and shutdown on charger plugged in. That is so far the only drawback that I see from cm10. I am willing to live with these minors problems to gain better performance and no apps FCs.

i moved onto cm10 from cm9 and never looked back. cm10 is quicker and just as reliable 9perhaps even more so). sure there are less supported apps in market and some settings arent fully implemeneted, but i see no reason to go back to cm9. the only real bug i have is the full charge one (which is also in cm9) but im willing to live with that

It is possible to install this ROM from a stock, CWM- based recovery (5.5.0.4... I think:D)? What about that charging reboot issue? Please inform me.

Thanks for helping a newbie:)!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] chemicalbuz:
Are these the last ones or is there also 6.0.1.0?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] earldroid:
CWM recovery is not stock. You can flash this rom using cwm recovery 5.5.0.4. Shut down while charging issue is still there even on the last build.

P7310 Test build w/ camera... feedback

I loaded the rear-camera enabled build for the p5wifi and while the camera does work I seem to be having a number of sporatic network connectivity issues (which may or may not be related to tether through my GNex), as well as some general lagginess at times. Sometimes it is as smooth as previous CM9 builds, and others it's laggy and unresponsive (more so than Stock HC was, for reference). I also seem to get a lot of random FCs for both system and user apps, waiting them out rather than killing them doesn't seem to help. I am going to see if I have the same problems running on my home's wifi (25Mbit FIOS for WAN) but if this continues I'll go ahead and flash a non-camera build. I wiped the dalvik after flashing just to be sure FYI. IS it likely these issues are related to the old HC kernel used in the camera-added build?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] _strauch_:
I have the same Issues. its unusable. The Browser freeze and the tab didnt respont. i didnt use it in the moment i waiting for soamsung stock ics or opensource code for the 7500.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] teomor:
Does anyone have this weird touch bug: when sometimes unlocking the screen and tapping something the screen actually registers a double tap, or other times when tapping and holding it registers a normal tap and clicks stuff when you don't want to? Also, scrolling gets interrupted and taps are registered at the location where the finger stopped, but without releasing the finger. It is VERY annoying. I've had this on my HC stock ROM too, and also on every single ICS ROM, but not on JB (JB has other annoying bugs so I came back to ICS for now). Usually after something like this happens, I lock my screen and unlock it back and the issue goes away so I think it's a software bug..?!

EDIT: The 10.1 ports has this aswell. Something is wrong with Google Maps. A lot of platforms reported this kind of problems with Google Maps 6.10.0 and for most the 6.11.1 fixed the problem. For us and likely also others, the problem remains.

This is a bit lazy to ask here I know, but how do you go about updating CWM? I think I have 5.0.x.x or something

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
FYI, I might have bricked my P7310 so development is paused for now. Was flashing a CM10 build yesterday that I was experimenting with when it got stuck at "Formatting /cache" and after a while I did a long press on power thinking it would recover from it.

However I'm now stuck with black screen and it identifies itself as APX in Device Manager.

Doing some googling and it turns out that this is not that uncommon on the 10.1 devices and I'm currently trying to drain the battery to see if it I'm one of the lucky ones for who that helps.

Now, do not spam this thread with suggestions about nvflash, been there, tried that, doesn't work because the devices are locked with a code.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] :
I once had that as well but another reason it got bricked.

If draining wont help, open the backcover and unplug the battery.

After pluging it in again, the tablet should work fine, worked for me tho..

Draining should do the same but unplugging is faster ;)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
I'll try the draining first but it'll take some time because it was almost fully charged when it happend. Not sure how to open it and if opening it leaves permanent marks?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] grausi:
same here. also got stuck at formating cache. maybe a bug in new clockwork recovery (6.0.1.2)?

i'm now on second day draining...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Hmm... I'm going to remove the links to it for now. Probably done a hundred of flashes with the old recovery and this has never happend to me before and now with the new one that runs the new 3.1 kernel I might have flashed maybe 10 times and this happens.

Mine was attached with to the computer with USB when it happend. Not sure if it matters. Was your attached when it happend?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] grausi:
Mine wasn't attached to computer or charger. battery should have been at about 70%.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] WodgeFTW:
is this brick recoverable? mine is in the same way.

Also, I had the APX in device manager thing, did some googling and came acrossthis.

Tab is now recognised as NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices in device manager.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Dunno, I'm still discharging.

EDIT: Here's the procedure I'm following: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1478361

I've come that far aswell but nvflash cannot help due to some lock Samsung has put on the devices.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] WodgeFTW:
Ok, sorry for being dense.

My tab doesn't appear to be doing anything, how does one discharge? Just leave it? Keep pushing the hardware buttons?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kallt_kaffe:

I must say that I don't like the way Nandroids are taken in 6.*, with the Blobs folder, it seems a little faster however I liked the old approach with clearly defined data inside a big archive.

Also some apps, file manager included seem to get stuck when accessing that folder, probably due to large(huge) number of files/folders.

And also trying to copy that folder on the PC is a total PITA

This video shows the disassembly process for the 10.1 inch galaxy tab, but I am almost certain the process is the same for the 8.9. Just on a smaller scale.

Same thing, only in ЯussiaИ:

Basically you only need to lift the display up from the case and detach the battery connector, maybe press the power button a few times with battery disconnected to force discharge in components and capacitors, the reconnect and reasemble.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] notz76:
Have also bricked my tab - drained the power but it doesn't help. I had a bluetooth adapter attached with an led to verify - and was low an battery already as the brick occured.

Flashing with nvflash fails, because of locked boot loader.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] creamoncrop:
a couple of question, what version of CWM should i use when flashing this ROM?

what are the non working part of this ROM? im confused on the first post of this thread
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] sbE:
It is sure that CWM is the cause of the problem? I'm also at 6.0.1.2 and I'm not sure what i should do.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Use 6.0.0.8. The only issue is that after each boot after running Clockwork the screen will go blank when the bootanimation normally start. Just kill it with a long press and it will boot normally the next time.

No, we're not 100% sure but a handful of 8.9 users got this, all using the new recovery, also many 10.1 users are in the same boat after using Clockwork 6.0.1.2 with 3.1.10 kernel. I doubt it's Clockwork that but rather something with the new kernel that (sometimes) goes bad while formatting.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pershoot:
its not the recovery. may be due to faulty emmc chips and this mmc_cap_erase.

this is how the src ships (.36 did not ship with it).

this has been removed in src now, and ill bring in some more safeguards/patches at the mmc layer.

i didnt think id have to watch my back with OEM stuff. guess i need to keep all eyes open.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] creamoncrop:
what if i use v5.5.0.4 of CWM ? does it cause problems?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] C-o-M:
So it's the same emmc bug like on s2/s3/note? Then it should be easy to fix in the kernel. And wasn't ther also a workaround included in mkfs?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pershoot:
i do not know but seems suspect since the 3 or 4 people hit with this all did the same wipe operation. with that being said, ive already removed the capability in src. as a precautionary measure.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] de3pkeeper:
Could you please notify as soon as a build incorporating those safeguards comes in?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
to be honest i don't think flashing cm9 is worth it at the moment.

the latest build (with cameras) has to be flashed with the latest recovery and that recovery (or sth else) has been BRICKING devices!

if i were you i would either pick up an old cm9 (without working camera) or use and older cwm to flash official ICS.

or use the old aokp build. also a great rom just no cameras...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
You can flash the new experimentals builds with the old recovery but the screen will be black on the first boot after running recovery. The old kernel (used in the 6.0.0.8 recovery) does something with the display that the new kernel does not like. A long press fixes that. However since we suspect the new kernel in the new recovery caused some bricks (mine included) I'm not 100% sure that running CM9 with the same kernel is completely safe. However all so far that I heard of that got bricked (including the many 10.1 users) got bricked while in Clockwork. Many got stuck on "formatting /cache".

Also the brick seems to be permanent asfaik. Mine seems discharged but it that did not help, however I'm going to give it another day with a taped powerbutton just in case.
