[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] jomeister15:
It was a typo... my bad. From the looks of your logcat I think you're having the same problems I am with my AOSP build, that is, missing/broken libs. This is most definitely due to the nature of the kernel. It's really difficult getting anything to work without actually having any ICS kernel source, but there are a couple of options.

1) Take all of the libs that are being broken in the debug section (code below) and replace them with stock honeycomb libs. This is what I did for the skyrocket before we had any kernel source, and it worked out ok.

2) This is kind of a last resort, but I suppose we could try a skyrocket ICS kernel (cringe at the thought) just to see if it does work. Do we know of anyone in this section who has ever mistakenly flashed a skyrocket rom, and what the outcome was?

I can work on number 1 if you want, but in the meantime could you go back into adb and run 'adb shell' 'dmesg', and then post the output here? I'd like to see what's going on with the kernel. I'm also have access to my tab back in a couple of days, so I'll have time to work on it then...

Thanks for having the balls to give this a shot, and thanks for the logcat output!
