Hope it's an easy one...

Hello. I want to thank you for your wonderful job. Your ROM work really well, with no problems of any kind. Only thing... I miss Samsung's file explorer, "My files", from GB. I've taken it from some ROM then pushed it, but no luck. Maybe you can pack it for me ? Anyone ? Really grateful to who can do it for me ... Cheers !

Same issue on my P7300
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ChristopherJ:
I had the same problem flashing from Overcome, wifi wouldn't find any networks. Love the ROM, great work! I had to go back to Overcome because I need wifi to work but I'll be back. Any clue what's up with that? I want ICS ASAP. :-)

Flashed again and wifi works, so disregard this post. Love this ROM!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] bdfull3r:
Will the offcial ICS for the GS2 help with our camera issues
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jessevl:
It almost certainly won't. We'll need to wait for official ICS for our device from Samsung.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] moose350:
Love the ROM so far guys. Just picked up this tab 2 days ago and rooted and flashed it within minutes of powering on. Keep up the good work.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ChristopherJ:
Ok after looking stupid on my last post, I tried for a day to get this working. Wifi works at school but the tablet will not pick up my phone tethering or an ad-hoc network. I tested at home with tethering and that's why I asked about wifi not working, because it didn't work!

Now the only thing I knew to try was to replace the wpa_supplicant to try to enable ad-hoc networks but that didn't work for anything.

So I bow to the experts. Does anyone have an idea why my phone tethering cannot be detected by the GT?

EDIT: For those reading this I sort of solved this problem, but not sure how. I re-flashed the ROM. Then in an attempt to again try to get ad-hoc I replaced the wpa_supplicant file, it didn't work and I reverted and voila my problems were fixed. No idea what it could of been.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Loccy:
I had trouble tethering to the built in app on my Motorola Pro Plus (little known Blackberry form factor rip off that's basically the same hardware as the last gen Motorola Droids). However, the open source Wireless Tether worked fine. Meanwhile, it's not precisely what you've asked, but I've got Bluetooth tethering working a treat so you might also consider that - much easier on battery life too.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] memtew:
I found a little trick how to do it right - just block your tab before unplug USB stick ;) It can be added to FAQ.

My tab pick up my Nexus S tethering without any problem.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Brendo:
No problems with wifi, tethering, or USB host/transfer here

Do you have any process to completely wipeout everything and have this working?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] safir187:
how about an update people?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ehcan:
#1 forum rule: do not ask for update timeframe.

That's said. Pretty much everything is working aside from the camera (problably won't work until we get stock ICS from Samsung) and a few things like the hardcoded MAC from the last update and probably extension adapters support (HDMI and others). So my guess is things are going to slow down a bit now.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] fpdragon:
But still no Cornerstone. :(

Anyway... you're doing a great job here and I don't know if Cornerstone is already in the CM9 code base.

... and I don't want to make stress ;)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] safir187:
well cyanogenmod roms are usually supposed to have nightly updates which add new features.

i didn't ask about bug fixes. although working on voice calls would be very nice.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Gizmo123:
Kind of a problem, not sure if its related to ICS or just this rom... When streaming 720p over BubbleUPNP or UPnPlay, streaming stops after 10-20 seconds, and the video app used for streaming just exits to previous window of mentioned UPnP clients. Does not matter if i use Dice player, VPlayer, MX video player... the results are the same, just exits without any notification of a problem. Thoughts, similar experiences, go.

edit:

I forgot to mention, i use Mezzmo. Maybe that is where the problem lies.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
don't have this issue! i have no idea what mezzmo is but that seems to be the cause. i use bubbleupnp + dice player on android and XBMC on my computer side. works perfectly fine.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ehcan:
We are in official CM9 buildtree but as kallt_kaffe has noted in the topic subject, the 8.9 build are not official. So we have to take what comes by.

Indeed voice calls would be nice but I am not too hung up on it, don't use it to call but USSD working is a boon to me.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] safir187:
yeah. but as kallt_kaffe has noted in the first post, he'll keep uploading nightlis here until blah blah blah.

anyway i'm gonna stop asking for updates. i just flashed the latest version.

- there is no file explorer and i can't use the market. how do i install the apks that i have on my sdcard and how do i use my files?!

- sending messages usually fail and i have to resend my messages
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
pretty sure you forgot to flash gapps! gapps (google-apps) contains: market, mail, etc etc (everything google branded. these because of some legal reason can't be included in custom roms. thats why come in a flashable .zip file)

so if you don't flash that you will not have the market, from which you could then get ES File explorer or whatever other explorer you use...

here is the latest gapps:

https://rapidshare.com/files/232891362/GalaxianGapps_v2.1.zip
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] memtew:
To use the market install Gapps first. File manager has never been in cyanogen.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] safir187:
come on! why would i forget that?

i told you i can not use the market.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] memtew:
Put any explorer apk file to /system/app in cyanogen zip file and flash it again throught recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
then just do a wipe and reflash. there is no reason why market wouldn't work...

what exactly do you mean with "can't use market"??

does it crash when you open?

is it not there?

kinda hard to help you on those scarse informations you gave.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] safir187:
no. thanks to politicians, Google has banned my country from using a lot of its features, including the market.

i guess i'll go back to overcome for a while.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Gizmo123:
Mezzmo is a popular media DLNA server, the thing that makes streaming even possible, like XBMC. To answer my question, yes, Mezzmo was the reason for streaming crashes. I switched to Serviio and don't have this problem anymore.

How about the battery life is it better than stock rom i have my galaxy tab 8.9 wifi now for 2 months en would like to have ICS on it because samsung is very slow with there updates is this a very good alternative???
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] taiger78:
For me battery life is worse compared to stock. Don´t know why that is but that is anyhow the case for me since the first ICS version, and I have been using it almost from the start...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] prasket:
I just wanted to chime in and say thanks to the OP! I picked up my GT8.9 Friday and have been messing around and then installed this ROM, everything seems to be working great..
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ehcan:
A bit worst on standby but on usage about the same.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jessevl:
Seems to me like wifi draws more power than stock, when I put it on flight mode standby time is about the same as on stock (I think).

I'm really eager to have an official Samsung release though, no camera, worse battery life and graphics glitches (rotation, youtube interface, etc) are no deal breakers but it would be even better with those things fixed.

Just a quick question - Will the landscape mode ever be smooth as portrait? What's the deal here? I've experienced many cases on tablets, where it's mostly the other way around - portrait is laggier than landscape.

Yes... did that :( but still no luck... I am able to jump roms from AOKP and Overcome but not on this one. I am thinking... should a get another stock rom?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] prasket:
Are you 110% sure you installed the rom for the correct device you have? Which tab do you have?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] fpdragon:
Hi all!

I am planing to make my own cyanogenmod 9 builds to force the rom variety and maybe apply some little changes which are useful for me. (I was thinking about Cornerstone but one step after the other)

I found the following link for the cm7 build process for my galaxy s2. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Compile_CyanogenMod_(Linux)

Now the question is where to find a procedure for building from source for my SGT8.9? I read that there is already a branch for this device.

I'm thankful for all info I can get and which speeds up my work a little bit.

Edit:

I found out that our hero kallt_caffe often commits in the section "android_device_samsung_p5". Is this the Cyanogonmod name for our SGT8.9 alias p7300?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] memtew:
p5 is P7300, p5wifi - P7310.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] modestone:
Having to juggle two devices just to properly use one (and then limiting the others battery/usability) is not fun in the long run.

I can drain my EVO 4G battery in a couple hours of hotspot use, or I can have my 4g tablet online all day long and have battery all day long.

If I get a call on my CDMA EVO, or a text, then say good bye to that tethered internet until done!

I can be on the phone, and using my data on the tablet (great for work).

Sure, if you just need to hop online for 5 mins a day on your tablet while out and about, a phone can provide that well enough.

but...

If you rely heavily on being connected no matter when or where you are, then forget about it, it's not worth even trying to be productive with that setup, I have tried, it gets very frustrating.

It is incredibly liberating to have a high speed (real 4g) always on connection with me at all times, especially one that I am not worried about sucking the battery from my poor phone.

I will never buy another wifi only tablet, I use my always on 4g tablet 1000% more then I ever used my wifi only devices.

In the real world, for real people, having data always there is really almost essential on your daily use device.

In the world where you sit basking in WiFi, and the warm glow of lcds in your basement, 24 hours a day 7 days a week, sure who needs mobile data, but at that point, who needs a tablet?

Most people don't live in that world, devs included.

If I wanted a wifi only device, I would get a psp.

Android in general is designed around being connected all the time.

Honestly if my EVO 4g wasn't paid for by my work, I would downgrade it to a basic phone with long battery life, and my 4g tab would be my exclusive mobile data device.

Since getting the 4g Tab, I only use the EVO to make calls with anyways, and its to cumbersome to do real work with, unlike my tab.

My 2 cents.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] goenieg:
That sucks, hope you get a replacement soon! Tks.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tri0xinn:
modestone.. I agree.. I've tried tethering and while it works great here and there in a pinch.. in the long run just seems to be too much effort if you rely on your tablet. My only issue with a 3g/lte device is data caps... which could be eaten up with a few netflix movies.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] modestone:
Yea, the mobile data plans as they exist now, are not made for heavy media use.

It is unlikely that will change any time soon.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] xpla:
In Austria we have two unlimited data plans. Without throttling after reaching a threshold.

10Mbit Down / 4Mbit Up = € 15,--

30Mbit Down / 5Mbit Up = € 29,--

Signal strength display in Settings - About tabled - Status doesn't mean anything, this does not work on my P7300 build also. Even stock GT10.1 HC had this problem not long time ago. This is something that Samsung has done differently, i will try to find out if we can fix it somehow.

It seems that this rom may be missing automatic apn conf. Try to add APN manually. You should at least get a 3G icon if this rom has data enabled.

I have no idea if kallt_kaffe has made the required changes in code to make HC radio work with ICS. If he didn't, then it will not work.

What changes is it that needs to be done?

I think this has been answered a million times. The tab 8.9 screen defaults to portrait so the landscape is the one to lag differently than any other tegra 2 tablet on the market.

Been busy with other things so I haven't been here for a while but I've just updated the first post with new builds.

We're now on Android 4.0.4 and I've brought the kernel and libs up to what pershoot is currently using for the 10.1 build.

Regarding official nightlies... no idea... I have no control over the build bot. At the moment the latest changes aren't in the official repo anyway because pershoot is still working on stuff with the kernel and I'd like to wait until he is done before I upload patches for the p5/p5wifi.

Regarding NTFS RW, it is supported in the kernel but the NTFS support in vold is read-only. You should be able to mount NTFS RW manually bit automounting will always be read-only until someone makes an NTFS RW patch for vold and gets it merged into the CM repo.
