hi, thank for your info....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
No problem. BTW, is the hidebar app actually hiding your statusbar? I downloaded the latest version and no luck..on a stock ODIN flashed ROM or my custom one. Logcat says it is not able to read the classes of the apk properly...

Please let me know, and hopefully we can get it going on this tablet!

Steve
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] ThE_SoUrCe:
can't wait to have mine flashed LOL,

just a suggestion though. I've noticed that I use the notification bar for Back and Home button most of the time, what if we have a built in app in the rom where you can set a widget on any part of your screen and run it there, and when you're inside an application, you can toggle it by tapping on the place where the widget is

I'm currently using honeybar and the notification bar Burn is obvious on grey backgrounds considering that the notification bar up time is less than 10 hours in total (yep, I counted the ON time of that thing!)

Request

Would anyone with stock firmware be able to run a quadrant benchmark on their tab and post? I am curious to see it compared to this:

I don't think I can go through flashing stock firmware for the 5th time today...

Thanks.

Steve
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
Oh...

..and again, I have all the testers I think are needed. Thank you so much for the interest, and I will be sending everyone who PM'd me a link tomorrow AM, New York time.

Thanks again.

Thanks. BTW, not a big "benchmark guy," I was just curious...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] c4Lvin:
Steve, can you tell me how much used RAM or free RAM when you do a fresh reboot?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
Sure. I am actually in the process of flashing a stock firmware in mobile ODIN (I know, I said above I din't want to do it again today,but just too curious about something...;)), then I'll flash my latest build and let you know (may be in AM eastern US time...).

@400 megs free ram on reboot. I think this will go up as i add mem scripts and, if people do not mind, remove some apps (pulse, apmobile, etc.) . Again, not sure whats considered nloat around here, but some of these apps seem, well, kinda useless...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
Awesome. Could you please let me know what firmware you have? Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] spinhbar:
Greetings!

I think that a good solution -if you have the required free time- is to provide 2 versions, one keeping all the apps YOU think are usefull, and one with no samsung bloatware and no apps that can be downloaded from market.

I'd download the 2nd cause i prefer the maximum of flexibility and customization.

Thank you very much for your efforts.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] emprize:
is this a aosp rom or touchwiz based rom?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
TW...I am new to samsung and TW, so not sure what the possibilities are to "de-touchwiz" these devices. With HTC devices, there is an overlay calles 'Sense", as I am sure you know. This is easily removed, but I have to look into it on this device. If it's possible, I will definitely look into it.

EDIT - Also, I can look into a pure AOSP build for this device (someone just did an ICS one for the LTE, and I am checking that out, purely for my own edification, so hopefully it will inform...), but that will need to be later on, as I am still just trying to get this one out.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] goattee:
Read-only /ExtStorages/sdcard

Do you think you could also arrange for the external sdcard to work as a data store for apps and ike managers will without forcing the user to muck around with the permission settings? (I assume this would only entail making the necessary permission changes in your ROM?)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
I'll check it out. Again, let's just get the beta tested and a RC out....;).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
OK. What I've done in the past is have the gscript lite app in the ROM (in data, so you can uninstall) preloaded with removal scripts for apps. That way, the user can delete system apps easily. I just need to poke around a bit and see what apps are OK to remove, etc.

Getting better...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] stefanamlappi:
Wow, is that without OC???
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] EarlZ:
I am interested in beta testing but I can only flash via Odin as I dont have Mobile Odin and I dont intent to purchase it yet. My only concern is that if this adds some sort of binary counter or yellow triangles so the Tab which is something I cannot afford to have at the moment.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
Yes.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
This is flash via recovery, not Odin, and no yellow triangle..
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] zafayar:
Any chance of porting it to 6810?

I would be more than happy to help out if required.

Thanks,
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] stefanamlappi:
So here is a bit fun for you all:-):-):-)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
Yikes. Dare I ask?

Judging by the CPU, you overclocked?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
I think so. I would need to take a look at your firmware...I think there may be a 6810 ROM coming from someone else, as well. Not sure...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] stefanamlappi:
Yesssss a bit:-)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] stefanamlappi:
I think with your rom we can get more than 5000

OK, the beta is out to all testers. Please let me know via PM if there are any issues with the installation. Thanks.

Steve
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mcbooth:
Only received my 3G tab yesterday so missed the beta test cut-off unfortunately.

Thanks for your work on this rom, looking forward to a public release and to see where you can take the tab.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] p3trick:
Ok rom flashed ok. Got some problems with twlauncher. And when i add a contact sync account it starts lagging and needs a reboot some time. Maybe the problems are with me whe shall see. Gonna test some more in the next couple days. Keep you posted
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
Please do. What problems with TW launcher? And what type of contact sync?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] feizylong:
thanks for sk806 to let me have the beta test.

As usual,

1. back up my current rom form cwm recovery

2. wipe data /cache

3. install the beta

4. it automatic restart, and boot up nicely.

5. to get the HSPA, I need to reboot once.

6. bluetooth keyboard, wifi, network, sound, flash in browser all work for me.

7. using default launcher, it's smoother and faster then stock rom.

8. still testing

Very good beta, imho.

Very good beta
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] micger21:
hi,

I just Flash your rom on my machine of pre - series and all is well spent... I will take the time to reinstall my applications and verify their operation. I expecting a little knowing that I have a pre - series but I am now more relaxed... later
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
Awesome. Not sure about the HSPA, but I am getting a sim from either att or tmobile soon, so will be better able to handle the network stuff....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
Cool. Have fun. I am probably out for the night, maybe not, so if i dont reply, I'll be back in the AM, GMT -5....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] ThE_SoUrCe:
Big thanks to sk806 for choosing me as one of the beta testers

1) back up everything with TB

2) CWM recovery backup

3) wipe cache/data

4) install beta

5) phone rebooted as it should

6) samsung screen and then language setting screen

7) Samsung keyboard crashed; ended up in boot loop

8) force rebooted the phone and waiting for something to happen -

things I did before flashing

-backup everything

-wipe cached, factory reset as advised

-wipe cached partition as advised

-put the zip file on EXTSTORAGE

-flashed from ext storage
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
So, you are stuck at boot screen? What language did you select? I would reboot into recovery and reflash.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] ThE_SoUrCe:
Can't even select the language, before I can hit anything, Samsung Keypad will FC then the device will reboot, I'l try reflashing again and report back, file placement (internal / external SD) should not affect right? I'll try to put the zip on internalSD
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
Yes, try it. It may also be the wipe. If some are getting good results and some not so good, that is often the case. I may need to add a super wipe to the script, instead of relying on CWM....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] ThE_SoUrCe:
going back to square one

after flashing the stock firmware, I managed to get through the language setting etc and use the tab fine.

then I flashed again via CWM - still the same, Samsung keyboard FC'd, going to do another ODIN and copy the file to internalSD (I still tried using external LOL) will report back ASAP.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
That would be odd if its ext vs internal storage, but this is all somewhat new, so who knows...but thanks for trying it out. I will send you a version with the stock android keyboard as default if that doesn't work...

Again, I wonder if its the CWM port, as eznow himself has stated that he cannot verify the data/rest function. I am going to try a superwipe script tomorrow and see if that helps my performance any (basically does the same thing as data/factory reset, but in the updater-script, so no room for error).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mobile88:
Successfully flash the rom zip ( placed inside internal SD ). Whole process was a breeze - no problems at all. Took me just 6 mins to complete

Now in process setting up my gmail account n restoring apps thro Titanium Backup
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] ThE_SoUrCe:
got the same, installed from internal SD, well, seems like I have something inside my phone which hinders your FW for flashing correctly, will try again tomorrow. a good nights rest might keep things going well (working in American shift lol)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
Hmmm---ill send you a new rom with diff keyboard tomorrow. Lets see if that works.

Steve
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
Nice keep us posted...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] ThE_SoUrCe:
one last resort before I go to bed, I'll format my internal SD :D

modem HSPA

hi steeve ,

for me the HSPA modem is ok.....:)

the only problem at the moment is the automatic relocation of the market applications. I then reinstalled my applications manually...(200).I have tried both automatic relocation none worked, the automatic download has stopped a the first application downloaded...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] will6316:
Thank you for beta rom. Wipe data cache davl. The usual. Then flashed ok. So far tw launcher still lags. Still testing.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
Yeah, I have a bit, too at times, still working on it. I got rid of most of the samsung Widgets that clutter your screen and its much better. I have to believe that with 2 1.4 ghz processors, this should not happen. We'll get it.

What would be really nice is a decent oc/uv kernel...

Temp solution is adw. It FLIES...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
Do you mean auto installation of market apps?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
Brainstorm here, but with HTC sense,you can dramatically smooth out home scrolling by making it 2D, looks basically the same, but no lag....hmmmm....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] EarlZ:
I dont have CWM recovery flashed yet so Im not sure if I can get some dalvik cleaning and stuff but have you tried flashing CWM via Odin and not get any binary counter or yellow triangles?

But if you have a package that can be flashed with the regular recovery that has a super wipe then Im in.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
Yep, flashed the ported cwm from his forum, and there are no yellow triangles. Anyone else seen any yellow triangles?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] will6316:
Reflashed twlaucher seems a bit smoother. Dont like other launchers as they seem geared for phones not tablets

Live wallpapers still lags
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] SeanHacker:
Live wallpapers will always lag out the system. Its a horrible honeycomb issue.

PM :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mobile88:
Everything seems to work well for me. No FC on any of the apps that I restored from my Titanium Backups

Quadrant scores were slightly better while Antutu benchmarks were lower

Overall I do not find any significant difference ion speed and performance opening apps
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] teoboza:
Thanks for the link, everything works for me.

TW launcher still lag similar on original rom.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
Thanks. As the OP says, this is generally a STOCK rom with a few tweaks, although for me it is quite a bit faster/smoother (and when I use ADW EX, wow...). There aren't too many "speed" tweaks in there yet. I have A LOT planned in terms of speed: e.g., zepplirox's supercharger, optimizing the actual png images in the framework and stock APKs (this has proved very effective on HTC devices), symlink apps to data (I haven't tried this on phones, but supposed to be great on tablets and phones with large system partitions like this one), and I truly believe that there is a lot to be gained from removing some of the bloat-ier apps, although this will be optional. I also want to try and apply a smooth scroll mod from Sense onto the TW launcher, as noted above. Not sure if the last will work, but worth a shot.

Steve
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] p3trick:
The device keeps locking up. Tonight i will re flash it completly full wipe dalvik wipe. And i wont restore anything going to built it back up from scratch going to see if that would help.

For now it is useless on my device but i think it is my fault.

Will post back later and make a summary of al my findings.

Extended Power Menu Mod

Also, as someone asked for this via PM, I want to note that I have recoded the extended power menu based mainly off of the 10.1 version, as well as eznow's mod for this device (It was EXTREMELY useful to see the code in place in our framework, so big thanks to him). The difference between mine and his is that I basically only coded the necessary lines, to keep the code pure for this device. His works just fine, but I like to change only what is necessary. I also did not modify any .pngs, so this is for the stock theme.

This will give you restart and boot into recovery options, in addition to what's there.

Anyway, thanks and credit to eznow and untermensch, for his tutorial that seems to be the basis of the 10.1 mod (whose author I couldn't pin down, so PM me and I'll give you your due props).

This is NOT included in the beta (was waiting to hear back from eznow to let him know I was doing this), but here it is should you wish to try it out (beta testers and others, at their own risk...). If there are issues, I will make up a "back to stock" zip...please just flash via recovery. It will clear your dalvik and regular cache partition and reboot on its own, so be patient while it starts back up.

This mod WILL be in future ROMs.

Here's the link: http://bit.ly/xJ0neN

Steve
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
It's no so great in 2.3.x, either. Haven't tried on ICS. The only systems I have really seen live wallpapers work well on are AOSP builds that are bare-boned and tweaked to all hell (e.g., CM7, etc.).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
I have no stake/interest in the relevant developer's business, but I highly recommend ADW EX, it IS designed for tablets, and is really, really good. Get rid of the dock bar and it's basically a honeycomb home screen setup with a ton of customization settings. All Sammy widgets work on it too, unlike HTC widgets...

Anyway, just my 2 cents. I only use the stock launcher to test out my ever evolving speed/smooth tweaks now...

Steve
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mobile88:
I am using ADW EX launcher too - a great replacement of TouchWiz

Really looking forward to the release of this ROM. I would like to test it if possible. I know asking for an ETA is frowned upon, but any ETAs?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] micger21:
Hello Steeve, Test requires much time and I acknowledge that I have no more because I have a new job. This ... is why I could not further test your beta .... I suggest you do with Airbillion wishing to become a tester and that could easily replace me. I wish you good luck in the development of your rom and I don 't hesitate to give it a try of it when your project will be successful. I do not hesitate to make a donnation for your work.

Improved Homescreen Scrolling (?)

Hi All,

I have been messing around with the XML and smali files in the framework and launcher apks. I think I have achieved a smoother home scroll, but I am not sure if I am deluding myself. I have been poking around a lot in these files, and believe I have some appealing suspects for the lag that seems inherent in the TW UI (mainly in the workspace and animation smali files in Launcher and framework-res). This mod is eliminating just one of these suspects, plus optimization of the animations and PNG files of the relevant apks.

If anyone is adventurous and would like to try this out, here is the link:

http://bit.ly/wFdMVR

To go back to stock (i.e., if it sucks): http://bit.ly/yPZ3PK

Please make a nandroid backup first and flash in recovery (CWM). No need to do anything else, as script will format the relevant caches and reboot (takes a bit to reboot.

Let me know how it goes and if you notice any improvement. I have a lot more smali coding to do, but I am extremely hopeful we can get the lag out...

Thanks.

Steve
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] p3trick:
Sk806, little update for you.

I wiped my whole device all cache incl bat stat. Flashed your rom did another dalvik an factory wipe.

Then booted the tab. Followd the setup and skipped my google setup. Everything loaded good even twlauncher is fast. Then i set my google account and deselected put backupped settings back but did select backup settings to google. After this i started to add more accounts like facebook hyves twitter etc. And downloaded my apps one by one true market.

Everything is hassle free now and the rom works smooth. Going to test the rom to the fullest now.

Regards.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sk806:
Sounds promising. I went with minimal smali edits, so I hope it can get even better. Looks like Honeycomb has some crazy ways to render the home transitions. If they can be simplified, I think the lag can be greatly reduced.

It'll be interesting to hear others' experiences.

Steve
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] ThE_SoUrCe:
Steve,

Will be waiting for the ROM with built in Keyboard

seems like I'm the only one having problems installing it, I followed every setp and every tip here, same problem, Samsung Keypad will crash as soon as the device reboots after flashing and hits the language selection screen.

I formatted the whole internalSD, removed the externalSD, started from fresh stock ROM, wiped data using the default wipe in stock recovery, flashed CWM recovery via ODIN, wipe data/cache again using CWM, install your ROM, then same problem
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] p3trick:
I dont see you wiping the dalvik cache. That can be ypur problem.

Try factory reset. Wipe dalvik. Wipe bat stat. Flash rom. And then again dalvik wipe and factory reset. Reboot the phone and all should be fine.
