Slightly off topic for locerra

Do you have a version of CWM recovery made specifically for the i815? This Post leads me to believe it would be best if we had an i815 specific recovery (which im hoping you have :P)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] locerra:
I do, and you will need it to flash CM (whenever I manage to get a functional build for it going). The reason I haven't posted it is there are still a few issues:

Nandroid backup recovers too much (recovers the stock recovery with backups made of the stock rom). Not sure why this is, haven't really spend any time on it.

I haven't been able to get Heimdall to flash it. I had to root my stock rom and then use dd to install it. (I don't have windows installed on any of my machines, so I can't really say anything about Odin.)

The kernel (config) it is built on is really buggy. The smdk4210 kernel (which is what I'm using until we have ICS sources) has minimal support for the p8 board (the board that is used in the P68x0), and even less support for the p8lte board (the board that is in the I815). Needless to say, I've had to port a bunch of stuff from the HC kernel sources over to even get it to boot.

On a positive note, progress is being made. I've gotten to CM's lockscreen on the I815, but touch isn't working for no apparent reason. I've been stuck on that for about a day, and I would be ripping my hair out if I didn't shave it off earlier today :p.

We believe in you locerra... YOU CAN DO IT!!!:victory:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Gilbot:
Thanks for the reply, I was compiling i815 specific stuff and I ran across electron's ota update issue (which I nearly forgot about) that had me wondering about using the 6800 recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] locerra:
Hey, I'm hoping to have a build for the i815, p6800, and p6810 in the next 24 hours (no promise though). I've switched kernels, so I need to make sure it works on the p6800 (and p6810, but the two are almost identical), so if you would like to give a run of a test build, please send a private message to ohanar (=me) on freenode.

Please only message me if you are going to be available and willing to provide log information that I might request (this is why I'm doing it on irc, so that feedback is more or less instantaneous). I only need a tester or two, so don't be alarmed if I tell you I have enough testers, but don't worry, you should get something soon :).

I'm not quite ready yet (probably in a few hours), so no need to rush and message me :).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] locerra:
Ok, new builds.

I've switched kernels, so for users of the p68x0, there is not much new going on. However, since both bluetooth and hardware accelerated video were working on the old kernel, I'm hoping it won't be too bad to get them to work again (it doesn't look to bad from the errors I'm getting). The new kernel also comes with a much better wifi module, so I'm hoping that wifi is finally within reach (you now get normal signals, you just can't connect to networks).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Gilbot:
omg

I was super excited to try this out, but unfortunately using ezynow's p6800 recovery gives me a getprop assert failed. I assume it would work with the i815 recovery you made, but I can't seem to get it to replace the stock recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] locerra:
You should be able to turn off asserts somewhere in the CWM menu.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] faridaizuddin:
Thanks locerra for the new build! I'm on P6800 and proud to tell u that almost everything works except:

WiFi: as stated in OP.

Camera: cannot see preview before capture as in when open camera app, nothing can be seen except after wildly captured, make a screenshot or switch to panorama mode.

Others: still on testing..

Thanks a lot for your work locerra (and others included).. This is absolutely the only ROM that I wanna go through. Stock TW ROM just shown nothing other than useless laggyness..

Bravo! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] locerra:
See the OP, I mention this in the changelog. The issue is that hardware acceleration is broken (although I've since fixed that).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] faridaizuddin:
Owh.. okay.. sorry locerra. I'm non-developer so never thought that issue tied to camera app. Anyway, other than that a really good work for sure.. ;)

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] FateZero:
You can find the Gapps Here :

download and flash in CWM and then once you sign in they will work
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] linetart:
Thank you!

...humbly waiting for the final release)))

Samsung original firmware visually awful.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Gilbot:
Initial impression is that once the WiFi is fixed and hardware acceleration is good to go this is going to be a daily driver for me. It is so fast, it blows stock away.

I am going to use it only to play music for now (as that's what I use it for the most). I am using adb to push files :P

I'll be using my gnex with jelly bean for anything else until then.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] furius:
installed CM9 ... it's really fast and smooth, gallery is way way faster then on HoneyComb ...

unfortunately I'm not able to get any data connection on my P6810, neither wifi nor Bluetooth tethering trough my GNexus... (not able to activate bluetooth ...) ...

so I'm going back to Honeycomb for now, but I really hate HC bugs and lags ...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
Read the OP. It is stated that it does not work.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] furius:
@nitroglycerin

Locerra sad that Bluetooth was probably working so I tried to get Bluetooth tethering working

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus running JB
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] locerra:
It was working with the old kernel, but I couldn't get the I815 up and running on that kernel without some serious changes, so that is why we have the new kernel. The two kernels are fairly similar, so it shouldn't be too bad fixing bluetooth for this kernel, I just don't really know bluetooth (that was Aorth), so hopefully he can find the time to fix it again :).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] SS2006:
how icant wait for wifi to be fixed, when it is, this is good enough for me tbh! keep going my man

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

hows the wifi looking, is it like a tomorrow thing, or weeks etc..

any promise?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] aridoasis:
as with any cm9 build, there aren't any due dates, so we just have wait 'til stuff gets fixed

tried the new build on p6810 and love speed, but has to revert back to hc coz i needed wifi.

thank you, devs, for all the work you've put into this so far!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] locerra:
New Builds

Ok, posted new builds.

The main new feature is...

Wait for it...

Wifi!

So yeah, that is why the new builds are so soon after the last round of builds, enjoy :).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] fastest:
My friend, you are a star! Been waiting for this moment.. Stock on hc since day one, but now i need to get the courage to flash :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] lsherif:
Thanks locerra,

Downloading now, just wondering if there is any hope for the bluetooth to see the light, as i a using my p6800 as my primary phone with bluetooth headset.

Quite sure that with your efforts & lowtraxx bluetooth will see the light soon.:)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] rony-x2:
nice :)

i flashed the ROM on my P6810 and now, the tablet is able to find Wireless Networks... but i cant connect to my 2.4Ghz network :(

my AP is an Cisco e4200 with DD-WRT.

I tried to switch the channel from 13 to Auto.

The same think on my 5Ghz W-Lan (channel 161 to Auto).

The Tablet cant find a 5ghz W-Lan (a) and cant connect to a 2.4Ghz W-Lan

Now, i tried to set up a W-Lan with my windows phone. The Tablet see the W-Lan, but cant connect. :crying:

the actual state is: "Saved, secured with WPA2"
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] acc_kareemomar:
You are the one locerra

Goooooooooood maaan
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] neimovirne:
This firmware runs counter?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] locerra:
Top men are working on it :).

I'll need a logcat. Like 5Ghz wifi is not working -- this is just the first build that I got wifi working, so there are probably going to be issues with it (also mind you that we probably won't get better than the crappy wifi that is on stock ICS either, since we are using the same driver).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] pegasus21:
Thanks for CM9. I have a quick question.

Should this be run on top of the HC or ICS baseband?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] lexi1986:
Also with the p6800 can't get wifi to work. It connects but then it switch wifi off and switch on but can't connect.

Not able to provide a logcat im on holliday and staying in a hotel.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] ZhenMing:
Tried the latest 7/15 version and it won't connect to wifi either in open or WPA2.

Other ics cm9 rom, is it better to try stock ics and then this rom?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mobilx:
The stock ics has a mac_loader service which is adding folder and some files related to mac address into the /efs partition. If loccera didnt put that service to init.rc wifi probably won't work. If you flash over the stock ICS those files are there already.

3G also become surprisingly slowpoke..

Currently downloading Titanium Backup Pro from Google Play since 3 hours ago.. LOL! Using my 3G connection only because WiFi is no-go.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] 5hamz:
also, btw where can I get the Gapps zip file?

I'm assuming one will have to flash that in order to get all the lovely Google goodies (maps, gmail, play store etc.) :-)

Currently I can see no Google apps in the app drawer AND it did not ask me to setup the device at the initial boot!

lastly, @Locerra, great job! I have decided not to sell my P6810 after testing your cm9 build today. lets hope wifi gets fixed. it WILL be my daily driver then!

keep up the good work!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] palexr:
So on a p6810, downloaded installed zip and everything worked, including wifi. I then started restoring all my apps. All was working. I then looked at Storage under the system settings and the tab has been bootlooping ever since. I re-installed the ROM (recovery still works), wiped everything, still bootlooping, it gets to the CM9 screen then just restarts.....

Help anyone?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] 5hamz:
I had a very long boot on the 1st try. I got back into CWM and wiped everything, including cache, dalvick, etc. after flashign the rom I fixed permissions and that seemed to do the trick.

I have just restored my stock HC build due to the broken wifi.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] hotyys:
ok, i just flashed the rom, turns out the touch screen didn't work, i can't even get in to try anything.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] 5hamz:
How did you flash it? what device do you have (6810, 6800, etc?) I'm sure there will be somebody in here that will be able to help out if you provide a little more info.

:)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] hotyys:
i just realised that i did flashed the wrong rom! my bad! sorry for that.

I can also confirm here that wifi is not working on my P6800, coming from an ICS base with no problems at all with my wifi since installing ICS.:(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Jaevlar:
Just installed the latest release (7/15/2012) on my P6810.

When trying to connect to my Wifi the tablet only saves the password but doesn't connect. Signal strenght is awesome by the way. The rom too, smooth as butter. Keep up the good work :good:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] aridoasis:
wifi is working for me... sort of. I can connect to the 5Ghz signal but not to the 2.4Ghz, same router. P6810. probably just needs some tweaking, but thanks a lot!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mobilx:
@loccera there is an old wpa_supplicant in the newest build. Thats why wifi isnt working for most of the users.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Gilbot:
WiFi can see the router, save the pass but can't connect in the latest build. i815

I'm Guessing this does not contain an i815 build?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] locerra:
Everyone who is having trouble with wifi, make sure you do the following

Wipe/Factory reset

If you know how make a logcat.

If you made a logcat, post it, and if you didn't don't post anything -- I'm fully aware that Wifi isn't working for everyone

Try the hotfix I've attached to this post

If you mean it doesn't have the wpa_supplicant from stock ICS, that is because it is impossible to include a binary wpa_supplicant in the CM build process (if you tried, it would get overwritten by the one that is built from source). The reasoning is that wpa_supplicant is GPL'ed, so by law any alterations made to it that are used in a distributed binary must be publicly shared -- unfortunately Samsung has decided to ignore the law and has not released their modifications. The best I can do is provide a hotfix zip with the stock ICS wpa_supplicant until I manage to get the opensource driver fully functional.

Some asked as to how i flashed mine ot make wifi work (6810)

Factory Reset > Clear Cache

Flash Rom

Factory Reset > Clear Cache > Clear Daviok (spelling fail but you know what it is)

Worked really really well. Woke up this morning to have no network - as some of oyu have mentioned it could see the network but wasnt connecting to it - toggled wifi on/off and it logged onto the network straight away.

Network is a WPA2 encrypted 2.4ghz WDS enabled network.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] fastest:
Thank you for your efforts mate.

Installed cwm. Backed hc ROM first. Factory test in cwm. Wipe cache. Wipe davlic. Install cm9.

All working great on my 6810.

Only had 10 mins to play. so far no problems with wifi.

initial impression = it is quick. And goodbye Samsung bloatware.

Out of interest.. Which version of gapps is everyone using?

Im using the latest gapps-ics-20120317-signed atm - seems to be all fine.

Revert to Stock ICS Bootloader

Is there a safe and easy way to revert the P6810 to the stock bootloader instead of the CyanogenMod 9 boot screen? I'm not a huge fan of the animations they use and would rather have the appearance of a stock boot. On a side note the JellyBean Bootloader is my favorite from Google so far. Wish we could get that going on here as well, obviously the boot animation not the OS. I'm thrilled with a working ICS build with Wifi and all the other goodness.

Awesome job locerra! Big props to all your hard work and keeping on the task to matter how long it took. I'm definitely seeing a new life to my P6810 with this new update. Now I just have to decide if I really need this tablet with ICS, my Nexus 7 with JellyBean, and a Acer A500 with ICS. I'm certainly in need of a few craigslist posts for all this extra tech I have around my house.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] locerra:
Nope, #blamesamsung.

Just drop in the bootanimation.zip.

At most the bootanimation for this will change from landscape to portrait, but nothing more. I don't really care for it either, but the hope is that this build becomes official in the near future, which means we are stuck with the CM bootanimation.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] kflanegan:
Thanks for the quick reply! I was figuring as much, I think I'll stick with what I got. No use fixing what's not broke.

The tablet really flies with ICS, I'm amazed at how much of a difference in performance we get from Honeycomb. I expected a big increase but this is awesome. I'm anxious to see what JellyBean will be like on the Nexus 7 in comparison. I do love the screen on my 7.7 though it's hard to beat those pure blacks and vibrant colors Samsung is known for. Really wish Google would have timed their ship dates and pre-order priorities better with this release. I'm feeling pretty cheated out of my $14 for 2 day shipping and having to pay taxes for my state. Oh well, guess the price we pay trying to be early adopters sometimes.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Blackdragon_860:
Thx for your hard work locerra..

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] stema84:
Thank you locerra! :) Fortunately, I don't need bluetooth or auto-brightness. I needed the wifi fix, and was hoping I don't need to update the cwm because of the kernel change (and whew... it wasn't needed :D)

To do the installation the shortest way:

-download the zip, wifi fix, latest gapps (google apps)

-in cwm: wipe, install cm9, install wifi fix, install gapps, than restart

I did it in an hour with restart between each, plus needed a restore to hc to get the wifi fix to the devices internal storage :D)
