I installed the official ICS rom just to take a look and found it really depressing, I had the impression of an implementation done without attention to detail.

The CM9 is incomparably faster and more fluid, and has an interface much more pleasant to use.

I'm using the latest build a few hours and I can only say that is fantastic.

What I have observed so far in P6210:

The phone functions are active (network and phone), I do not know if this can generate some impact on battery life.

Some icons seem to be with incorrect resolution (apollo and voice dialer)

When connect my tablet to boot the first time, there was a WLOAD loop and it did - after that it worked normally.

WLOD after installing the goo.im app

TuneIn radio died sometimes

Ps: The problems with the goo.im and TuneIn are probably due to the developer's own app - I'm just reporting.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Thanks, I feel the same way about vanilla Android; it's much nicer to use than Samsung's :\

Regarding the phone functions on P6210... it's weird, I thought I knew why, but I don't. :) I'll keep looking...

Anyone wants to change LCD dpi? I tried til 132 everything works just fine
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jbzcar:
132 is what I ran on my Touchpad and now on my P6210 as well. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Justinhopaolo:
Don't you find it too small at times?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jbzcar:
No not at all. I find anything larger is a waste of the gorgeous screen real estate. :p

It actually fixes some inconsistencies/incompatibilities with Theme Chooser.

I ran my GNex at 180 (stock is 320) and I am doing the same on my new GSIII, too. :cool:

I like Samsung, can you tell? :silly:

Updates are in git first! Posting on XDA is not my priority ;)

Ah, good. Your /system, /data, and /cache etc are all on the same partitions as our GT-P6200. This ROM should work on your device. I think the "L" version is just for Latin America, or what?

To flash ClockworkMod Recovery use Heimdall 1.3.0. The latest CWM Recovery is: p6200-clockworkmod-5.5.0.4.img. Reboot your device into Odin mode by powering on while holding "volume down", then connect your USB cable and flash to the recovery partition.

I do it in Linux like this:

heimdall flash --recovery p6200-clockworkmod-5.5.0.4.img

Your device will reboot. Once it's up, shut it down again and then restart into recovery using Power + Volume Up. Good luck!

Yes, I think L is for LatAm. Strange thing is, Thailand got this same version, so I dont know... Thanks for the information ! I need one more thing : how to flash recovery in Windows ? Do it with Odin or Heimdal ? Youve been very kind man !
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
Heimdall is now compatible with windows, either one should work, probably easier with heimdall.

Won't there be an AOKP ROM for this device?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Maybe. We need to get the underlying stuff working first. Camera, audio, sensors, telephony, 3G, wifi, etc. Porting AOKP is the easy part ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Update: audio working... kinda

locerra noticed today that the galaxys2 audio libraries (and alsa configs, etc) work on his 7.7. I tested on the 7+ and it works... so we have audio. It's not really that graceful (we're using an old Honeycomb kernel, etc), and the quality wasn't that great to be honest... so I'm not going to call it official yet.

Anyways, I'm just trying to keep all you hungry people in the loop so you don't ask for progress updates every 5 minutes! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] painter_:
Aroth, I really appreciate your efforts.

Anyone know if CM9 theme chooser is working?

I'll probably flash this when data is working as well.

Thanks a ton guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] morfini:
This rom is better than I could imagine. The only drawback I can find has to do with browser's smoothness. Although its speed is undeniable, it lags and looses responsiveness specially in heavy sites. I haven't flashed official ics firmware so I can't compare it but gsii cm9 based roms have smoother browsers. Hope this is something that can be improved.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Justinhopaolo:
I've tried both . Cm9 is much smoother in all areas except browser. Official 4.0.4 browser is as smooth as the HC
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] k_t_b:
Perhaps....

I only really used the stock browser for reading during this charge with brightness on the lowest level possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Justinhopaolo:
What I love the most is that the status bar at the bottom can be hidden when an app needs full screen. Thanks aorth I can now watch videos in real full screen without the bottom menu :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Lost_prophet:
Noob here )

Can I install new builds over old ones (without wiping\reset) and save my apps and settings ? Or I have to use app like Titanium somethingbackup ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Ceelos09:
A full wipe is always recommended just to alleviate any and all woes you might encounter otherwise. But...You can always just wipe cache n dalvik n flash over an older CM9 build, n flash over with existing data intact. Just don't be surprised if little things begin to act up here and there. Restoring apps and data have always been a 50/50 for me. They either play well, or they don't. YMMV
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] morfini:
Unfortunately other browsers have the same problem in cm9. Scrolling and responsiveness are laggy in every browser I use. Including safari...

Hmm, ok. For the record, what I did was replace the RIL blobs in the vendor repository explicitly with P6210 ones (locerra used the P6810 ones). It was a long shot, but worth trying. I wonder if it's something in CM which changed...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] eddiecsilva:
I installed the test build and the phone functions really still there.

The GAPPS was broken for me using the test build - trying to reinstall the previous build my P6210 apparently died.

The screen is completely black and he does not respond to any buttons.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
Hi. I've got a couple of the china made tablets with ics installed. They all have the mobile icon and data network avail. The solution was to remove a couple of files/apk's related to telephony.

I'll find that cleanup script and upload it.

Anotherway is to just enable flight mode and after, enable wifi. :D :rolleyes:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Hmm, if you plug the tablet into the computer can you type `adb reboot recovery`? If not, try holding the power button down for like 10 seconds, it should restart the tablet.

We'll fix it the "proper" way :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
I think I found the bug causing the phone stuff on P6210... gotta go to bed, but it's building and uploading while I sleep. I've deleted the earlier one on goo, so if you see something around 130 MB then you know it's the one you should test ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
In the interest of safety, i did not upload the script:rolleyes: :D

These are the files removed from those wifi only ics tablets to "disable unused services and increase battery life" :p

Mms.apk

Provision.apk

TelephonyProvider.apk

VpnServices.apk - some users might need this.

NetworkMonitor.apk

Network3gMonitor.apk

shortcut3g.apk

Phone.apk - (Requires Immediate Hard Power Off and Reboot):confused:

Anyone want to try?

I can not get into recovery and not in the download mode.

And the adb does not find any device to reboot.

I've tried these options.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] k_t_b:
I simply renamed phone.apk to phone.apk.bak and that seemed to prevent the battery usage of 'cell signal', but I wouldn't call it a fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] k_t_b:
Bummer, that didn't fix it either. Oh well, I'm sure it will get sorted out sooner or later. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jbzcar:
I wanted to ask for some clarification about this "not working" as stated in the OP.

"USB mounting of internal storage (will never work). Removable sdcard can work, but is disabled for now."

Both are accessible to me via Android File Transfer on my Macbook...

Is that talking about something else? :confused:

Ok, I just slept for 7 hours. Surely your battery has died by now... did the device finally turn off?

Gah! wtf. I though it might be the inheritantance in the make files... guess not. But I still want to investigate that route...

Yep, it's talking about mounting the sdcards via USB, like a flash disk. What you're using is MTP, a media transfer protocol. Google deprecated the USB Mass Storage option since Honeycomb.

I think I should remove that note from the OP, it is causing more confusion that good :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jbzcar:
Ah, ok. Yeah I understand MTP, that's why I was slightly confused by that comment. ;)

Oh, and the latest build didn't fix the signal bars thing... I tried a build.prop mod I found for some other tablets and it didn't work, either. I went with the enable Airplane Mode and re-enable WiFi for now, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] eddiecsilva:
The battery was at 80% when the problem occurred.

Two hours ago I tried again to enter the Download mode or Recovery without success, the screen just goes black. No sign of life.

When I return from work I'll try again, I left the unit unplugged.

I'm hoping someone would be kind enough to help me get CM9 going on my Tab (P6200).

I'm currently on P6200XXLQ1 (4.0.4) and I have CWM 6.0.0.8

I assumed it would be as simple as putting the necessary zip files somewhere on the internal or external memory and flashing it via CWM, although I'm not having much luck.

In CWM, the internal memory only shows 2 folders Audio & Video, which I can't locate. The external memory is not accessible.

If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Dushaine:
Use the new CWM-based 6.0.1.0 ;)

It's a known bug that has been fixed.

Do not forget to rename the file.img as recovery.img before flashing if you use Mobile Odin !

I was able to install CM9 and it started up, no issues. However, when I was trying to set it up, I couldn't find the option to configure the portable hotspot. I looked also in this thread and I didn't see any mention about it.

Does anyone know if it works? Or if there is a way to make it work?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] CrisisCorE:
Hey alan! This has most likely been answered (can't find it though) but why exactly will usb mounting never work?

Also if I were to try and compile jelly bean... Can I just use your device tree or would that start some nuclear war?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Hmmm, I haven't tried a pin-locked SIM. Not sure. Has anyone else tried it?

Hmmm... haven't tried the wifi mobile hotspot, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work. I'll have to look into that later.

USB mounting of the internal storage won't work because the internal storage is not a real partition. It's mounted on the device using FUSE. I guess USB mounting depends on vold, and vold needs a proper partition...

Regarding Jelly Bean. Nope, can't do that. :) It absolutely won't work hahaha. First, if you could make the changes you needed to get it to compile, it most definitely wouldn't boot. Even if you could get it to boot, most stuff still wouldn't work. We have the unfortunate luck to have a Yamaha audio chipset, which has horrendous kernel code and blobs, and the hwcomposer from ICS will need some work or reverse engineering to get it to work on Jelly Bean (or new blobs from Samsung). Just wait a few weeks to see how far the Galaxy S2 guys get, because there are tens of thousands of those users, and we only have 200 CM9 users on these tabs. :)

aorth, i can't get access to my simcard contact. any idea why this happened? only got to whatsapp and gmail contacts.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Android doesn't show SIM card contacts by default; you have to import them in the People application. This is the behavior of stock Android. I think the behavior you're used to is the Samsung one, where contacts from the SIM appear in the list of contacts along side all the others.

I agree it's annoying. Someone should write a patch and send it to CyanogenMod. :)

I'm going to be out of town for the next 2.5 weeks, and locerra has been out since last weekend, but should be back in the next week probably. There won't be any new major developments here... so you might as well get your hands dirty and help with CM9, it's still not perfect. There is work to be done on our device, as well as CM9 itself. You could even upload experimental builds for the flash addicts; it would be a good experience for you. :)

Hey Aorth,

I wonder if this is a known bug, but whenever I switch over to the camera app, I lose the back, home and recent apps bar.The only way I can get out of the camera app is to go into gallery and then press home from there. Just checking if this is something that has already been addressed.

Thanks for all your work on CM9. So much better than stock and battery life is excellent. I have the strange l2_hsi on stock but on your cm9 no such thing.

YEah it's normal ! You just have to tap on the "points" who are replacing the the back, home and recent app buttons.

I think there is a setting to disable it in the "CyanogenMod" section.
