Thank you locerra

Thank you locerra for CM9 port !! really loving it.

Just got my new Tab 7.7 and flashed a bunch of others, by far this CM9 is the fastest rom available i would say.

Smoother then my Galaxy Note CM9 stable release.

Hope you keep on updating the stable nightlies :) until Jellybean is finally smoother then CM9

Again. Thank you locerra :) :good::good::good::good::good:

Any guide on getting a2sd work on 16gb p6800? My internal was getting short
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] k_t_b:
Nope. If you need the mini mode apps/bar, you'll have to go back to stock Samsung Honeycomb or ICS (TouchWiz).

Hi

Does anyone have the 8/03 build for this rom? The latest one is giving me issues with Wifi and using 8/03 + wifi fix was working perfect. Thanks

hi

I am looking for app for vnc for android like as https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lt#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm9yZy5vbmFpcHMudm5jIl0.

I got the CM9 on the galaxy tab 7 7 p6800.

any recommendations?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mewatashiakumoi:
This is the fastest rom i ever use (Haven't tried CM10 related rom,though), and really customizable, love it but........ It's sad to see that seems something is wrong with the wifi-mobile data... idk what happened exactly with my system but twice (Once, then i reflashed again) my mobile data stopped from getting signal.. After i use the wifi for some time! (Switching it on-off for some time)

I tried search the signal but seems it's no use, fc or other error returned..

But still,thanks :D I'll really looking forward to your CM10,Locerra :D

google apps ans other apps cannot install

Could you please instruct how to install google apps with this rom. I tried several ways but non of them make them work.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] furius:
HDMI dongle?

After a lot of tests, CM9 is the ROM that gives me best compromise between performances, working apps and features.

For example on stock ICS (rooted) I have problem with Sky Go where video is not fluent... on CM10 or ParanoidAndroid some app doesn't stretch well the images: on "Gazzetta dello Sport" app (a sport newspaper edition) when I zoom in/out the page the page stretch has a strange behavior and I can't read some page areas...

So for now I stay with CM9 and I'm really enjoying this ROM. The only feature I'm missing is the HDMI output. Is there any chance to get it working soon or later?

Thanks again locerra for your work!

Anyone know where I can get a version of trebuchet that scales properly at 213 DPI? I'm currently using nova launcher, but I'd rather use trebuchet. Any help appreciated :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] dfkt_:
Is it possible with this build to get UTF8 support for CIFS/Samba? I read that CM9 doesn't need nls_utf8.ko, and I guess there is no working build of it for the 7.7 - but neither manually nor with CIFSManager can I get UFT8 filenames to show up properly.

Would using the kernel or other pieces from the Korean SHV-150S firmware released on the Sammobile site (and opensource.samsung) late August help with the LTE issues on the i815 CM9 and CM10 builds? I know they have different LTE bands but they would support the existing files from the i815.

Apologies if it is already included or has been looked at. At work and it takes minutes to open a single xda page.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] questionmark:
Hey many thanks poisike! I recall you from the 8.9 forum and early ICS build! nice to see you here for our beloved GTAB 7.7.

Your git clone moved me one step head, baby steps ( I'm more used to Subversion).

Currently I'm building KindleFire ( totally unrelated) :) but just to see how it goes... CPU USAGE on 100% while building it on relative decent machine WIN7 64 bit QUAD Core with 10gb memory.... 4 cpu and 4 GB memory set on VirtualBox...shall see how long it takes.... writing those line while building lags big times!

I got the info on building this kindlefire custom rom here

https://github.com/JackpotClavin/Kindle-Fire-CM9/blob/ics/README.md

and wonder how similar the process is...

If I get to compile it p6800 I will do a sort of guide...

I feel the more we(people) are able to build the more we can assist you locera and other testing suggestion to be able to avoid build time and report if suggestions are OK...

What LOCERA got is already great getting WIFI / 3G and sound going be great...

many thanks to all
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] poisike:
Hi questionmark, so you sold your GT8.9? Haven't seen you in GT8.9 forums lately... We have a very good AOSP 4.0.4 rom for GT8.9 now, everything works except camera. I really miss ICS on my GT7.7.

Building from source is a pain with VirtualBox (believe me i know). Building ICS for GT8.9 takes more then 4 hours for me. I have a dual core AMD with 4GB memory. Thats why i don't really want to build for GT7.7, it takes so long to change something, build and then test.

About building for GT7.7. First you need to somehow get the proprietary files. I can't get adb to work with VirtualBox, so i used a script to copy the files from a rom i extracted.

When you have everything thats needed, then you can just:

source build/envsetup.sh

lunch

make -j1 otapackage
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] maconsultant:
Hi i pulled the device specific files when i was teying to build my ics rom.. let me know what exactly you need.. once i get back infront of my build machine i can confirm.. let me know if you need anything...

Hey!

Still have the 8.9, no way I would give it away for 250 EUR. So gave it to my girl friend for iPad 1 replacement...She has Galaxian-Soup beta 1.6.4 and very happy with it... Me waiting the same to happen on the 7.7. I truly love the device, every time I switch it on..give me the woww.. effect.. that device can't wait having ICS... When seeing 8.9 VS 7.7 could not get back to it...just love it...

Funny I did not mention AMD but I have a AMD Phenom II N930 Quadcore @ 2Ghz and got ICS (KindleFire) build in # 1h30

Build Instructions

Instructions to build (all blocks of code start from the root of the cm directory). (This is likely broken atm, waiting to make sure a few major changes work properly on the Tab 7+)

setup build system

clone the ics branch of the cyanogenmod repository

install local manifest: http://goo.gl/rh5sK (right click and save as...)

resync cm tree

download prebuilt packages:

$ vendor/cm/get-prebuilts

build (will take a long time):

$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ brunch p6800 # if building for the p6800
$ brunch p6810 # if building for the p6810
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] locerra:
Ok, I'll see about adding these.

Yup, it looks like this is the case. I'll try to make a new build to test as soon as possible.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] stefanamlappi:
Oh and dont forget a filemanager or playstore, so we can Test more Things:-)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] locerra:
You should be able to get google apps at goo.im/gapps and install them through recovery (not that they do much good without either 3g or wifi :))
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] poisike:
Flash cm gapps and you will have all google apps. It is not allowed to include google apps in unofficial roms.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] stefanamlappi:
Ok thanks. I understand but without Internet conection i have no Chance To get a file Manager on it. So i cant installed any apps
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] emprize:
grab the apk and copy the file to /data/app, reboot and u will like installed in the device
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] stefanamlappi:
Cool thanks for the Information:-) but i have to wait for any Internet conection to see some apps running
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] questionmark:
Many thanks for this locerra. About to give it a try. Sorry if this is RTFG (reading google) but I'm at the point of extracting proprietary files. I just have adb working on my VirtualBox. The possibly stupid question being: must I have your CM9 ROM installed to get them right? I read this is the case of other CM9 custom ROM build. The question being

-can I use the one of the stock HC 3.2?

-If not just by curiosity what did the people creating the first build actually used?

I'd like to get wifi going or help test here, I read you are busy testing some suggestion. If you want me to test thing or any other people once I successfully generate the ROM, please let me know

Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 10:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

Yes seems to be long, for me it took about more than 1h30 but less than 2 hours on Kindlefire testing build.

I got adb working on VirtualBox 4.1.12 on WIN7 64 bit host with Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.12-77245 installed. I attach the Android[400] USB device right at the setting of the VM and enabled USB2
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] locerra:
you can (although, there may be one file that it complains about -- I think I need to remove that one)

Testing won't really help that much -- there is too much broken to worry about the smaller details. The main issue right now with wifi is that the kernel refuses to load modules (of any sort). I haven't really been working on that very much since I would rather use the smdk4210 kernel (the kernel that is used for the galaxys2 cm port), since there are a lot of optimizations and fixes already there -- unfortunately, that kernel doesn't yet work on the tab.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] questionmark:
Ok many thanks locerra. At the point when it makes sense testing stuff let me know and be happy to help.

I finally got to compile it and it took 2h30 on a VirtualBox machine and could install and boot fine the resulting

update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-p6800-UNOFFICIAL-signed.zip with of course same things working and not working as your build.

Cheers

Git hub ssh key error.

locerra, when i follow your instructions on getting the files needed from the github portal i get a ssh key verification failure.. i have removed the ssh key from the known hosts file and tried a second time and still get the same error.. How can i access the files..? Please advise.. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] questionmark:
got the same issue, doing this from poisike did it for me it seems

as I use 3g:

git clone git://github.com/ohanar/android_device_samsung_p6800.git p6800

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

also before actual building

execute

/CM9/vendor/cm/get-prebuilts

if not then this error

*** No rule to make target `vendor/cm/proprietary/RomManager.apk', needed

HTH
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] locerra:
yup, the address I gave you there is what I use (since I'm also pushing stuff back up), and yes, I forgot about the prebuilts. I've updated the build instructions accordingly
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] maconsultant:
So it seems to be building now.. If it boots like the original DP1 (Alpha) I will see what I can do on any out standing issues. Many thanks to the OP.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] poisike:
Locerra: I extracted your P6800 zImage and its initramfs seem to be missing radio related things, so that's probably why it doesn't see the radio.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] rayjr13:
Locerra is it safe to say this development is dead even if ICS comes out?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] locerra:
No development isn't dead, I just backported all of the fixes I've made to cm10 back to cm9 a week and a half ago. However, there is almost no chance that we will have an official cm9.x build, since we require a different kernel than the one that is used for the Galaxy S2, etc al.

I haven't posted a new build since I've been experiencing some weird bugs with cm9 recently, and its likely that I'll probably stop working on it fairly soon since cm10 is the way of the future (although I haven't had time to work on either for the past week, and probably won't have time for awhile -- school has taken over my life).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] carlo67:
Hi all. I have a small issue with widgets..

I'm currently on APEX launcher and cm9. When i put any widgets on the home screen that auto update, they do work ok for a short while, but then stop. for instance, a clock widget will work for a 10 minutes maybe, but then stick.

I don't use any a task killer

any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] okashira:
First of all thanks to Locerra for your work on this! Great job.

I just bought this tablet, SCH-i815, locally, from vzw store. I found the stock rom to be quite sluggish with response and scrolling, etc.

So I flashed this rom, and it's still kind of sluggish, especially google chrome. Scrolling is really sluggish. Seems like a video driver thing, perhaps? Maybe I am spoiled by my girlfriends Nexus 7 or my phone.

Is there any hope of the performance being improved? I am debating returning the device, perhaps to buy a nexus 7 or something like that. But no SD card... sigh.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] songmeesay:
Try paranoid android or a cm10 rom and then flash the pimp my rom add on. That's about as close to the nexus 7 in terms of chrome as you're going to get.

Also try a different launcher like Nova for a little smoother ui experience.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Gilbot:
This tab runs really well under CM9 with pimpmyrom IMHO. I find the best browsing experience with Firefox. Google chrome isn't that great on this or my galaxy nexus. There isn't a better 7in tab out there right now, they all sacrifice something.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] okashira:
Thanks guys, I did try CM10 last night, and it wasn't any better then CM9.

I will try the pimp my rom tweaks tonight on CM10!

I wonder how much / if the official ICS update will help performance...?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Gilbot:
I don't think it will be faster. Touchwiz is sluggish on the tab demo units in stores I have played with. Granted it could be because its a demo. Note 10.1 is the only touchwiz device I played with where it wasn't sluggish. I do think that CM9 and CM10 will be optimized for our tabs sooner or later. Locerra has been busy elsewhere, but I'm sure he'll drop another update when he gets free time. :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] okashira:
I am thinking in terms of the ICS kernel being out for the i815, allowing the developer to make CM9 / CM10 to run better?

But there's no sign of an updating coming. I will try the "pimp my rom" tweaks, and ill give it a week or so before returning the tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] ice0901:
My i815 will arrive tomorrow. Can you recommend/tell me which roms have working data.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Gilbot:
Only stock honeycomb ;(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] ice0901:
Ouch, so not even a custom version of honeycomb with working data
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] carlo67:
hi

I am stuck

I have the cm9

the cm9 won't start up it goes around than boot up.

what can I do?

i can go to recovery mode
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] chefdave12118:
Download the ROM again (or stock ROM), do a full wipe and fresh flash. May have been a bad download.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] okashira:
I tried the pimp my rom tweaks - I am sorry to report there was little to no improvement. :( I thought it was better at first, but I think that was placebo effect kicking in. There are some situations where scrolling is a little more responsive, but no where near this device should be.

It is truly sad that this device, top of the line in terms of hardware build, screen and features, lags so terribly in terms of software. Nice going, Samsung.

I might hold on to the tablet for a couple more days in hopes of update news from Samsung, but the plan is to return the tablet to verizon after I get it all flashed back to stock. I'll grab a Nexus 7 in the time being.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] carlo67:
ok downloaded done

how to get the cm9 file on the sd ?

can I flash cm9 with Odin ?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] carlo67:
can anybody help me with this please
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] lsherif:
If you are stuck follow these steps :

1. Install Stock ICS through Odin.

2. Reboot, if stuck on Samsung Logo, for almost a minute , enter download mode again & install CWM 6.0.1.1 through odin.

3. Reboot, if stuck again for a minute on Samsung logo, enter CWM & wipe data, cache & dalvik.

4. Reboot, you should be OK.

5. Install CM9 , or 10 if you wish.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] esoh:
From asenduk in general forum. Looks like ICS is approved.

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/10/05/verizon-approves-ice-cream-sandwich-update-for-galaxy-tab-7-7/

Anyone know if I need to unroot to get update? I suppose that once blobs or source is out, we can get a CM9 (or 10) with working 4G at some point.

Link to PDF.

http://support.verizonwireless.com/pdf/system_update/galaxy_tab_7.7_instructions.pdf
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] okashira:
You will probably need to be 100% stock to get the update. Unroot, unrom and un-CWM. Could be an issue.

Hope someone can make an odinable update.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] esoh:
Yeah, I figured I am on stock rooted HC and I am checking but no dice. I tried unrooting using Gingerbreak Unroot but it didn't work. I don't have time right now to figure it out so I'm hoping to hold out for a couple of days to see what else people come up with.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] diestarbucks:
This should be asked in the Q&A section.

This should be discussed in general. :)

Hello everyone. Reading back through a few pages it seems things are currently a little slow at the moment because the OP has been busy with life things. I honestly do not mind some off topic chat here and there, but lets try to keep things relevant to the OPs work. If the OP wants to have the thread more open that is perfectly fine, but until he says otherwise some people were requesting that the thread stay a bit more on topic, which is understandable. We have sub-forums to open up and discuss other topics.

Just a friendly reminder, I'm glad everyone has been nice and civil, I do appreciate it. Thanks everyone:)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] carlo67:
ok, thanks

final question,

where I get the Stock ICS? I have the galaxy tab 7 7 wifi/3g [p6800]
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] carlo67:
I have P6800OXALQ1_P6800XXLQ1_HOME.tar can I flash it with Odin?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] lsherif:
Yes , this is the one.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] carlo67:
I done it, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP

cm9 is back on wow thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] chefdave12118:
Question

I'm fairly new to the i815 and this section of XDA. From what I understand is cm9 is on a honeycomb kernel that's why data doesn't work. Its looking like the ICS update is rolling out any day now. When we have the ICS kernel do you guys think cm9 will have data? Also on a scale of 1-10 how smooth and lag free is cm9 on the 7.7? The lag on stock HC makes me mental at times.

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Gilbot:
You really should use CM10. Locerra's latest build is fast and smooth and mostly stable. Its noticeably smoother than CM9. Performance blows honeycomb out of the water with either CM9 or 10
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] okashira:
The new CM10 is definetly much smoother then before (still not near the N7 though). There are a couple apps that work better on stock HC though.

Google Maps is almost unbearably slow with traffic on in CM10 with DPI = 160, but works decently on HC.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Gilbot:
Maps usage is bad because GPS is not working in CM10 for the i815. Hopefully with the ics update Locerra can get that working. I seriously miss 0 apps from honeycomb. I'm willing to try out the new ics touchwiz when it drops though.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] chefdave12118:
I'd be all over cm10 or even cm9 but I need my data to work. That's why I'm wondering if the ICS kernel with cm9 will have working data. I can't wait to have AOSP on this tab. I love everything about this tab but HC and the frigging lag. :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] carlo67:
hi

I would like to know how to install app with adb

I tried to do it but I got a error.

read only file system
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] okashira:
GPS works find for me on the new CM10.

Also - one note for locerra -

I did get cifs manager working in the new build. Works great. I will send a small donation. Thanks for your work (and keep it up!)

I realized you make the one and only custom ROM for the i815!!!
