no service due to celcom sim card configuration, nothing to do with the ROM. ur sim card is actually for broadband not for call package, but if you bought ur tab from celcom package RM98 then u can make call rite?

p6810 ... wifi model

has anyone tried flashing the p6810 version?

i decided to move forward and flash the p6810 version and it just stayed on the cm flash screen for the longest time...

so then i odin'ed back to stock but after that... it just stays on the "samsung galaxy tab 7.7" screen

any thoughts?

edit:

i even tried flashing my noob rom back and it just stays on that black screen with the galaxy tab 7.7 logo

.... *sigh* ....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] admiez:
Have you tried wiping data/cache from recovery after flashing the ROM? I had that issue when I first flashed to stock, it wouldn't boot, but that did the trick.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] snobrdinrtiste:
i tried wiping data, wiping cache, wiping dalvik... tried cwm 6 (hangs when wiping cache btw)

i odin'ed the stock rom that came with it...

i also tried nandroiding back to the backup i did before i flashed cm9 ... no go ... i was so certain i could just restore a nandroid if cm9 didn't work out... but i guess the restore is not 100% guaranteed

Edit:

OK!!! i reflashed the austria stock rom (over the hong kong version) and then went back in to the stock recovery and deleted data and cache ... still no go... so decided to do it a second time (wipe data/cache in stock recovery) THEN it came up! jeez... going to try cm9 again ... this is fun! :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] dfkt_:
Ouch, no MKV hardware acceleration is a serious showstopper. Could this be fixed for the time being similar to the 'wifi-hotfix', by using Samsung's own non-free stuff?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] adinis78:
It is always heart stopping when it first doesn't work out but a relief when it finally does. I would have gone insane and hide in a corner and cry if I was in your shoes, lol. Glad you got it to work.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sladeywadey:
I'm afraid I agree with that - if the MKV HW acceleration was fixed, then the CM9 rom would be near perfect for me. The AOKP people appear to have this fixed I think.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] dfkt_:
To get rid of the godawful gradient in most screens, edit /res/drawable-nodpi/background_holo_dark.png in /system/framework/framework-res.apk. I got a bootloop trying to edit it on-device, so I just replaced the image in Locerra's CM9 ZIP and flashed the whole thing over again in CWM.

Attached - next to a screenshot - is my all-black version of the PNG, in case you want to 'inject' it yourself.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] aletheus:
The problem is that android converts all images to bitmap...ack!!!

Wish we could circumvent that, pngs are smaller than bitmaps, and allow for 32bit color
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] lambstone:
Try using MX Video Player Pro? It seems to work well (for me on the Original Tab when MKV HW accel wasn't fixed)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] bugsy:
I have a 7.7 coming tomorrow, but have a quick question I haven't seen addressed. Does this build of cm9 mount to a pc as mass storage or just mtp? I believe it supports mass storage, but one or two posts I've seen seem to indicate otherwise.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] k_t_b:
only mtp... the word is it may be able mount external at some point in the future, internal is apparently not possible for some reason.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] bugsy:
Thanks, I was afraid of that. That makes using Calibre for ebook management more difficult.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] wintermute000:
You know calibre can transfer via IP right? You can directly connect to calibre in Alkido for example via running calibre as a server then pointing it to the IP address over your LAN.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] nexo85:
Thanks for this ROM, I bought my P6800 just so I can flash CM9 on it.

I just have one concern regarding the default DPI as right now its set on 160. Fonts seem too small to read. I know that this is currently the standard for tablets. However, since the introduction of the Nexus 7, the TVDPI (213) standard has been gaining popularity. More tablet apps being optimized to that DPI. Since the Galaxy Tab 7.7 screen pixels is exactly like the Nexus 7 (1280x800) I think we would have an optimal viewing experience on this new DPI standard.

I changed the DPI manually but lots of things become broken (such as launcher). Im hoping OP can introduce CM9 with an option for the 213 DPI standard. That way we can avoid the super small fonts and have an optimized viewing experience.

Just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] snobrdinrtiste:
i used to get a worked up if things didn't work right but now, its no biggie... most of the time, things will work itself out if you keep at it...

and i finally got CM9 running great (THANKS LOCERRA!!!) ... i flashed cm9, then the wifi fix and then gapps in that order... perfect so far :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sladeywadey:
I am using mx player pro.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Gilbot:
213 DPI Seems to work well with Nova Launcher. Trebuchet would be optimal IMO, but this is a good alternative. Do you know how to enable notification shade instead of tablet notification or is that a JB thing?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] carlo67:
my p6800 won't turn off. Why?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] faridaizuddin:
Weird.. How do u switched off your P6800?

Hold power button and then press Power off?? Or the other way?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] lambstone:
This is interested. I've searched the thread and it seems that MKV HW-Accel doesn't work because the mkv wrapper is missing. However, some people have reported that it works fine with third-party players. Anyone has conclusive experience with it?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] dfkt_:
In MX Player, some MKV files work with full H/W acceleration, some need S/W for audio, and some don't work with H/W at all. Not sure if it's just a container/wrapper format issue, seems the codecs inside matter too...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] adinis78:
At all or to charge? Mine can't turn while charger is turned. It is a known issue.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Beerkan:
Flashed CM9 fine on my P6810. Buttery smooth, but wifi doesn't work.

Picks up my wifi ok, but won't connect. I tried setting my wifi with no protection on, but still won't connect. P6810 finds the wifi ok, and asks for password, but once entered, it will not connect.

I tried the wifi-hotfix.zip I found from earlier in this thread, but still a no go.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] lowtraxx:
The Hardware Acceleration of the video playback depends on the type of codec that was used to make the mkv. Same with the Audio. There is no DTS decoder in the Android sources, so mkv with DTS Audio cannot be played back at all (Video works, but no Audio). If you want playback of most of the filetypes in hardware and software decoding where needed you should try VPlayer, because it brings its own OpenMAX libraries and does not rely on those that are built with android.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] dfkt_:
I'm aware of that - I forgot to mention that the same files that show S/W decoding in MX Player on CM9 were working as H/W decoding on Android 3.2. (I'm also still on an older version of MX Player, before they were forced to ditch DTS support).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] arfian:
Here it is...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] adinis78:
Been running CM9 for a few days now, it is pretty fast and this is my first CM9 ROM that I have ever installed in any of my Android devices. Saying that I will revert back to stock ICS because it is not 100%, now this may be because either I am very picky and wanting everything to work (apps and features) as it should or whatever it may be but here is a few things I am having issues with:

1- tab won't say off while connected to charger (this is a known issue as I have been told)

2- apps that I had on ICS not working with current CM9 (voodoo louder not working with current kernel, Jorte calendar widget not responsive and no longer able to sync Facebook friends birthdays, gmail widget not showing messages on inbox, have to open app and click on "all mail" )

3- apps installed with CM9 not working as they should or don't like the way they work (I like the way the calendar looks when opened but do not like widget only showing the current day, it should have view of current month, also would love to have the calendar show US national holidays, and my Facebook friends birthdays do not sync., DSPManager is useless to me because it works with audio players but I don't use stock audio players for music I use Google's Play Music as I can store all my music in their cloud and save space on my phone {this might be me just nip picking but wanted to make a note of it})

4- the way the external SD card is listed under 'emmc' is very confusing as many people have noted, I understand this is where it is listed under al CM9 ROMS. I prefer it to under the Android standard ExtStorages (I know this wont change but just wanted to put it out there)

5- the My Files stock app should be added to CM9, I had to look for another file manager that was comparable to it so it would be easier to move files to extstorage under the current CM9 format.

These so far are the issues I have found while running CM9, hopefully with ICS source code release some of the these issues can be resolved once locera and the team get a chance to work on it, if and when this happens I can give it a try but I can not justify running something that is not 100%. For me ICS runs as it should and everything is 100% working.

Please don't take this as trashing or bad mouthing locera and his team's work, this is just my experience and pointing out issues I have come across. CM seems to be a very powerfully and popular custom ROM but I don't think it is where it should be, once it is 100% then yes but not the way it is now.

I tried the p6800 version, it boots. For some reason it looks strange, it looks like it thinks its a phone.

Getting 3g working should be easy, i have done this for gt8.9.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] stefanamlappi:
How you get 3G working?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] locerra:
Yeah, and that kind of confuses me -- everything is configured correctly as far as I can tell, but there are still phonish elements to it. I'm not really concerned with this at the moment since there are far bigger issues.

Well, I can't really do anything about this, don't have a P6800 to play with -- just borrowed some stuff from the P6200 configuration to build for the P6800 (and the person working on that model hasn't started working on 3g yet).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] hdnebat:
some technical articles to start with

I have the 6800, however, i don't know where to start, is there any documents or articles to start with specially that how to deal with source available.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] stefanamlappi:
Can you fix the wlan or 3G
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] poisike:
Have you tried to force 160dpi in build.prop? For gt8.9 we didnt have to do that, so maybe you have still some configs from sgs2?

I dont have much free time (not really interested in CM either, would prefer AOSP), but i will try to help with 3g.

If i build your p6800 source from your github, shoult it work? I havent had any luck compiling p6800 kernel, does the zimage in your p6800 repo work?

For hardware acceleration i think you need to use the libs from sgs2 and also the graphics drivers from sgs2 ics kernel, the source is available?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] kijsophon:
I test in Galaxy TAB 7.7 (P6800) Ok Bootup

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] locerra:
I changed this to 197, since that is the density of our screen, although I see that some other devices have set an incorrect density to fix this issue.

Well, you need the cm source tree (with a few modifications) and the c210-common device tree, but otherwise, yes it should work

Apparently (I don't actually have a p6800). The kernel sources I used is also on my github -- mainly based on the february p6210 source drop, with a few minor modifications. The wifi drivers aren't included in the source drop, so those still need to be added.

Well, I'm currently working with that kernel, since it also includes the wifi drivers, but have thus far not been successful in building a working kernel.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] teiglin:
Doesn't Android expect the LCD density to be either 160, 240, or 320? The market, at least, tends to be unhappy with devices at other densities, and I haven't used a device out of the box that didn't have one of those. I don't think the value is meant to be a precise reflection of reality; rather, it's an approximation against which to scale the UI.

I believe the cutoff for ICS to treat your device as a tablet is 192. DPI over 192 means phone, less than or equal to 192 means tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] maconsultant:
Tested the alpha p6800 version.. it boots fine and works. Just the mentioned devices in the beginning of the thread dont work. All in all great effort.. i can now see the light @ the end of the TouchWiz tunnel..!

thank you guys for all efforts. full appreciated.

as you aware, all of owners of tab 7.7 suffering too much from honeycomb with SAMSUNG touches, and we looking hardly for ICS.

your job is nice and excited so could we know the possible risks may got from flashing the release?

hence there is a lot of red alerts in OP prevents us from sharing you by testing and reporting at least.

thank you all

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] poisike:
I looked at the source code and it seems that CM already has the 3G fixes needed to make HC radio work.

You are missing one 3G specific file: /system/lib/libsec-ril.so

And a few lines in build.prop:

rild.libpath=/system/lib/libsec-ril.so

rild.libargs=-d /dev/ttyS0

ro.telephony.ril.v3=signalstrength,usehcradio

ro.telephony.ril_class=SamsungHCRIL

I added these to your p6800 rom, but it still doesn't work. It looks like it thinks it's a wifi only tablet.

Unfortunately i have a slow PC and i don't have that much time to try and build it myself.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] questionmark:
Hi

Sorry if this message should go in the general section. I have installed a build machine on virtualBox using Unbuntu 11.10 and pulled in CM9 source. The problem is that I'm not sure how to integrate/merge? The githubfrom LOCERA in the CM9 source tree... I read from LOCERA repply to you, you need the CM9 source obviousuly + some change to it _+ the common device tree. I have no experience in building customer ROM ( I do have building custom ROM for my router FRITZBOX). I'd love to start and would like to help somehow if this is possible.... I have the 6800 and if people can tell me howto or were to find info how to build what LOCERA did I be quite happy to help and spend time in building or testing stuff.

I had no problem installing the ROM on my 6800.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] poisike:
Unfortunately i haven't found any good guides for this, i'm still learning myself.

You can use: git clone git://github.com/ohanar/android_device_samsung_p6800.git p6800

and: git clone git://github.com/ohanar/android_device_samsung_c210-common.git c210-common

You have to issue these commands in yourcmsource/device/samsung folder
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] k_t_b:
No offense, but based on the issues you posted I don't think you'll ever be happy with CM9.

I just wanted to update my restore progress from CM9 to ICS backup, it is a total failure. With out access to emmc on CM9 recovering I can not restore my backup. I have also tried to flash stock ICS via mobile odin but I am unsuccessful as well. I can choose the. Tar file it goes through the motions it reboots I see the galaxy tab logo then it goes to a black screen and nothing happens. I am only able to install the CM9. Zip to get the tab up and running but that is not what I am looking for. How can we backup anything is don't even have access to the emmc via recovery. Not a good setup, this only backs up my argument on having the external sd access from.the extstorage. God only knows how I am going to go back to stock ics. I am now forced to use my samsung galaxy s until I can figure it out
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] lsherif:
I have gone through this a couple of days ago , what you need to do is:

1. Flash Sstock ICS through mobile odin.

2.. When getting the black screen , go to stock recovery & install CWM through ODIN.

3. After installing CWM go to CWM , wipe data , cache & dalvik & reboot.

4.should boot normally now in ICS.:mad:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] adinis78:
Thank you ill try it.

Ps. Up and running on ICS thank you. Now hoping for 100% running CM9 now that ICS is out
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] dfkt_:
It's weird... like Samsung stock ROMs, CM9 can't add more/finer media volume steps than the default 16 steps, going by this tutorial for editing the framework.jar.

16 volume steps really are too rough for most things - eg. with my in-ear phones, volume 2 is too quiet, and volume 3 is way too loud.

Does anyone know a working fix for that?

(Edit: I know about the 'Fine Volume Control' app - it's really crappy, annoying, and backwards.)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] carlo67:
ok I tried turn off with plug in but it won't turn off but when I unplug it, it does turn off. how to fix it?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] TonyBigs:
Installed on a i815. This ROM ROCKS! Thank you very much.

Bootup is FAST. Audio works great. WiFi w/fix connects quickly. Able to connect to Play Store and install apps. You Tube -- no issue, Google Maps -- working! Browser -- working!

Charger issue noted. No success yet with GPS (using Chartcross GPS). A few issues with ICS camera app but I think these have been noted.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Gilbot:
I normally don't post bugs with non-RC builds (I'm sure locerra is aware), but I think the only thing bugging me right now is that when I play an audio track in any music player, and then lower the volume, the tab doesn't remember the audio level setting and plays the next track at max volume.

This actually happens system-wide with audio. I thought i was going crazy the other day. I knew i lowered the volume. lol

Otherwise I couldn't be happier with CM9.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] scottath:
Ive experienced the same as Gilbot - however if you turn off everything in DSPManager it seems to work without any issues.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] TonyBigs:
I wouldn't either but I see so few reports for the i815 I thought it might help.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] rayjr13:
It's locerra messing with you man. Remotely turning your volume up when your not looking either that or sneaking in your room between jams...

BTW is GPS functional for you in CM9 i815?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Gilbot:
I knew it !! That sneaky punk!!!

I haven't used navigation for it, but maps gets a near instant lock over wifi. Since mobile data isn't working, I can only check this via wifi tho..

I'll use navigation later today and update this post.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] dfkt_:
So the default screen orientation of this ROM is landscape, as seen on the boot animation, CRT-off effect, and in the fact that it forces my Go Launcher into landscape at bootup, even if I have it locked to portrait mode.

Is there a way to change this CM9's default orientation to portrait?

EDIT: Found it, in android.policy.jar. However, I can set the default orientation to all *three* possibilities, both landscape orientations and upside-down portrait - except the normal portrait one, dammit...

would it be better to just start incorporate CM10 at this stage, any point in continuing ICS dev? I know that there isn't MUCH difference between CM9 and CM10 code
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] JemaKnight:
Yeah, but the CM9 (which is RC2 now) source is fairly stable, the CM10 source is just a preview release

So at the moment with the 7.7, CM9 is stable but its ability to run on the 7.7 is unstable. CM10 is unstable, and its ability to run on the 7.7 hasn't even been tested yet.

It's early days for Jelly Bean, but I'm sure we'll see it on our Tab eventually.

Tried a lot of theme, don't work : (
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] aletheus:
just wanted to make a bug list:

"other brightness" option FC's settings.

"sketchbook pro" drops screen refresh--so it continues to make marks, but doesn't update image until you save, exit and re-open document... this doesn't happen in ICS.

HSDPA or HSUPA isn't working....whichever one is labelled 'H+' under mobile data.

battery drain: went from 12-15 hours of solid moderate-heavy use and dropped to 7-10

opera mobile freezes ans FC's when trying to full-screen video, flash HTML5 embedded, whatever.

in defense:

the performance was incredible! trebuchet was nice, but I still went with apex. SO SMOOTH! I rolled back to stock ICS for one bug only, sketchbook pro. it was random, I could make 100 marks on one drawing, then only 5 on the next. if I didn't actually use this as my digital sketchpad, i'd have kept it.

thanks for your efforts locerra!
