[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenboyles72:
I am currently building a custom rom for the Samsung Admire to be able to flash through cwm, but I am running into problems. I am not familiar with the rfs file system and Samsung. My main concern right now is the mounting of the file system.

This is my cat log for mounts:

/dev/stl15 /preinstall rfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,vfat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/stl14 /cache rfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,vfat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/stl13 /data rfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,vfat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/stl12 /system rfs ro,relatime,vfat,log_off,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=utf8 0 0

And this is what I have in my updater-script:

show_progress(0.1, 0);
ui_print("Mounting");
mount("rfs", "/dev/stl13", "/data");
mount("rfs", "/dev/stl12", "/system");
mount("rfs", "/dev/stl14", "/cache");

ui_print("Wiping System, cache, and Dalvik cache");
delete_recursive("/system");
delete_recursive("/system");
delete_recursive("/cache");
delete_recursive("/cache");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");

ui_print("Installing...");
package_extract_file("check_data_app", "/tmp/check_data_app");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/check_data_app");
run_program("/tmp/check_data_app");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

The script runs, but no files are written. So, i was wondering if any dev could look this over and point me in the right dirrection, I would appreciate it.

Oh, another thing, when it tries to write the boot.img, I get an assert error writing to raw.

Here's the full updater-script:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokin1337:
Try using busybox to mount if you think mounting is the problem. Like this:

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
etc...

That works for most devices
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenboyles72:
thanks, i come across busybox method somewhere another and was going to try that, but didn't know for sure if it work work with this phone. I'll edit my script and give a go and post back with results.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenboyles72:
ok, the busybox method seemed to work, as i did see the progress of the script running. after flashing and a reboot, the phone would never boot. even taking the rom and making an odin zip, the phone never boots. this phone is really about to piss me off, lol. i originally was working through cygwin, but have since installed ubuntu and cooked this rom and still the same issues. another thing, as long as i dont deodex the rom, it flashes fine, through odin that is. i have yet to get this to flash in cwm. i do have a custom file in the /tools/edify_defs folder of the kitchen and have tried several different mount points for system/data/cache and boot.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jacdem:
Can you please post the list of apps added and apps removed so we can know what we will get.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] citifone:

nice and smooth rom!!

got one issue, I'm on 160dpi and the blue selection colour is red in the middle :\
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] acubens:
I did not made any changes concerning DPI graphic glitches when using DPI 160 as i only use 240DPI, DPI 160 is way to small for me as i use reading glasses :)

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kaosnews:
Excellent ROM very smooth. I use it with the Hyperdroid Redpill kernel - killer combination ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] acubens:
Thanks for your comment, i am waiting for Redpill's new kernel and try it with that one. ;)

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] capricess:
It's A Live... :D

I hv rooted gtab with cwm..can i just do fullwipe data factory reset and flash the rom?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] acubens:
If your running on froyo you cannot do that, if not and your on 2.3.6 and use ext4 file system you can try but i advice to reinstall the stock gingerbread as mentioned in the post. You can donwload the stock firmware from the link i provided.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
I have not a clue what you mean for a menu, can you make a screenshot?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] para76:
Still using the rom with great pleasure. But i noticed that my wi-fi keeps dropping its connection more often (or is that just perception :P ? ). I know there are issues with gingerbread and wi-fi, but lately i get disconnected every 5-10 minutes and it does not auto-reconnect anymore. As i am totally lazy, its a lot of work to press wi-fi on/off!! ;)

Is there any way i can use some kind of keep-alive kinda option for wi-fi? Or am i full of sh*t if i think this could be a nice temporary solution ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Hi,

Hahaha, no your not full of **** :), i never lose my connection with wifi but i use only 1 router and that is a cisco, maybe it is router specific as you can read in some threads, how did you set your wifi sleep policy settings?and what is your router brand?

cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] para76:
At home i have a an Asus, at work...god knows, i think its all cisco accesspoints.

And wifi policy settings? Noob question, but where do i find that? :P
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
You can find this at wifi settings then menu then advanced then wifi policy, i guess if you dont know its there you have not changed it as default is never sleep.... but take a look anyway maybe a other app (tweak app or something) changed it.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Spyma:
Hi, thank you very much for this wonderful rom. Just one question, how can I find thinkfree samsung app. It was very good to read and edit office docs.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Hi,

Here you go http://www.mediafire.com/?8bda384cr7ya73t just copy with root explorer to system/app

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Spyma:
I don't know if there are very few people in XDA as you are, very friendly and doing something without expecting anything.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] vince_junior:
+1. couldn't agree more.

i just had the time to flash acudroid. i came from khal's optimized and flashed acudroid directly over it (via recovery) without any glitch, without any problem. Everything works perfectly.

thanks again acubens!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] yappoe:
Yeap. Acubens is the man. I also moved from Khal's to his several weeks ago.

Now, I am helping Chinese speaking friend choosing a good ROM for his G-Tab. I'm leaning toward installing this ROM for him, but does anyone have a Chinese language pack that I can include to this ROM?

If we can include Chinese language pack into this ROM, that would be awesome.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Hi,

If you have the language files for me i will try to get it working, but i can't garantee it will work.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] yappoe:
Hey Acubens, I have a G-Tab with stock firmware 2.3.3 P1000ZHJP5 (Open Asia edition) which has Chinese language support. I do have root explorer and will be able to extract files but I don't know what files I should be look for.

Could you help pointing the way?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Hi,

Take a look here http://www.chayx.net/2011/04/android-phones-east-asian-language-support.html and here http://blog.clove.co.uk/2010/03/23/chinese-and-other-languages-for-android/

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] yappoe:
Thanks, I've never seen this custom locale app on G-Tab. I'll look around for it in market. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

I tried several custom locale apps available in the market. none of them has the capability to translate to Chinese the home screen menu, setting menu, most of the system apps. All of them only translates some of the user apps to the Chinese language.

I guess I will have to find ROM with Chinese support for my friend, which the latest is 2.3.3 based ROM. Thanks for your direction though.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Hi,

I never looked into chinese language adding to a rom, but it seems to be difficult to add chinese language to a european/englisch rom, you need the files from a 2.3.6 rom and not from a 2.3.3 rom as that will not work, i will read and search some more about it and come back to you about it later. What keyboard is used in the rom samsung or a other one?

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] yappoe:
Yes it is samsung keyboard included in the rom. I know it is hard and therefore I thank you even trying to entertain the possibilitty of it. So don't worry about it. I am still helping n recommending my other friends installing acudroid.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ogzon:
Hi acubens.. I downloaded Your ROM (newest version) but I have problem.. I can't download anything from from market??

Any suggestion?

(I was using for some time and ROM is great (some older version), then I switched on MIUI for couple of days but decided to go back on stock rom's - because MIUI can't play MKV very well and I mostly use my Tab for watching series and movies.. Anyway I switched first on Overcome rom than Your's but.. :( I can't download one dame thing from market (on Overcome everything was working great) always giving some error..)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] yappoe:
I had the same problem while installing acudroid rom on my friend's G-tab. In my case, the problem was that Market is updating again and therefore causing failure to download anything from it. Reboot ur G-tab, open Market app again, and wait until it's telling you to update your market to 'Play Store'
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Hi, can you let me know if the info of yappoe is working for you?

cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Hi,

I dont give up yet, i am still searching how to accomplisch chinese language in 2.3.6.

I will keep you posted in the weekend.

cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ogzon:
I installed ROM twice last night (from recovery - once, than again - I did not reboot it).. I remembered that sometimes that trick worked on my Galaxy S2 if something was not right.. Now it works!

Anyway thanks yappoe for suggestion and thanks again acubens for ROM..
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :

Thanks for the feedback, i am happy for you that it worked out.

Hi,

You need to flash gingerbread stock first as descript in the first post, if you do that no problems will occur if you have a p1000.

cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] capricess:
Thanks for the best rom.

i have a question, how can i add Stock Samsung Arabic Keyboard?

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] barryhamsy:
If I come from overcome, do i need to re-do each steps?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Hi,

If you are on overcome gingerbread 2.3.6 JQ8 you can direcly flash V1 or V2, if you encounter any issues you will need to flash the stock Gingerbread stocksafe V5.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Hi, i will make this weekend a update.zip to flash with all apps i have removed excluding the OEM bloatware, but included all base stock apps.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
If you speak polish and you like to have the polish OEM software i am willing to make specially for you that update.zip. But only if you speak polish.

I never use nowipe versions as i like to start clean, sorry that you need to use your backup and restore manually your home screen. It will be worth the trouble tough.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Hi,

It has multi csc config, but i cant garanty if your apps will work, try and you know. :)

Good luck with your projects.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] geekynoob:
Just a Question..

Will this wipe off my internal sd???

Just asking.. :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Hi,

Well to be honest it does not wipe any data, but i warn that it does wipe data so users will backup before they flash, users are happy after flashing and they are not disappointed that they lost the data and i am happy because i dont get angry post in the thread :), it can go wrong.... you know murphy's law is always on the corner... and it is always better to start clean.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] geekynoob:
happpy to hear you dont et angry.. :)

and to b frank i have a special following towards the Dutch as i have worked with the netherlands embassy in my country here in india.. :)

Respects for you.. will b flashing it asap..charging the tab nw.. :)

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dirlan2001:
Maybe you should look in the Market for an app (yah, it's FREE) called "MultiLing Keyboard" and it's dictionnaries...

:D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hot_dew:
Actually i want read bangla in app like facebook. It was possible in p1000DD* rom with sales code like INS.

Now i can see only boxes . . . So it would be great if a bangla language pack can put in like a patch :-)

Thanks

BT Headset issue

Hello !

I have one issue. When i receive any call by blueTooth Headset, first it goes to phone speaker and then it goes to bluetooth. Usually if its connected with BT, it should directly goes to BT .

Do you have any workaround ? its pretty noisy when i receive calls like this.

please help !!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Hi,

Did you flash first the stock safe rom? i dont have bluetooth so i cant test, anybody else has this problem?

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hot_dew:
Yes. i flashed like below :

1. GB-Stock-Safe-v5

2. overcome kernal

3. acudroid-v1.zip

4. acudroid-v2.zip

Btw, this problem was not in GB-Stock-Safe-v5.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
You dont need to flash v1 after gingerbread safe, you must be flashing v2 directly after you have flashed the gingerbread stock save and the kernel.

The problem is that i dont have a bluetooth set but i will have a look at it and report back if i found something.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hot_dew:
Thanks ! Let me check..ill update soon.

How to re-install SCREEN SHOT?

Great ROM!

but how do I re-install SCREENSHOT?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] para76:
I can test it tonight. Will let you know the details :)

So far i haven't discovered any issues yet. I suppose you left 'talk' out of all the packages? Not that its any problem, took the apk from the overcome zip and works like a charm.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
What do you mean? if you installed acudroid V2 and have flashed the launcher update you have the layout of the screenshot.... :)

acudroid V3 is coming up with more ICS layout, maybe tonight.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Hi,

Thanks for helping out here, i have changed some permissions settings and build a new clean system template for the new V3 version rom, maybe this help to solve the bluetooth issue for hot_dew, but if you like to test, your more then welcome.

I will add talk in this release what suppose to have front camara enabled (i hope:)

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] macdenz:
Ok I'll wait for v3 and do a full wipe tomorrow to avoid any issues.

So far v2 is great... flashed it over Overcome 4.0.0

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] chickygamon:
No problem here with market but application in the drawer are not in alphabetical order, still after reboot. Is it correct ?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
If you have market error 492, remove with root explorer system\etc\init.d and delete 20fixcache script and reboot, i will make a final update some days from now, just waiting for some user input in case there are more issues.

About applications not in alphabetical order, did you use the wipe or no wipe version? I just test this and did a full wipe of my TAb and all apps are in alphabetic order.

Cheers

Known issues and glitches so far:

Market error 492 after downloading or updating a app : Solution: delete 20fixcache script from system\etc\init.d and reboot
