Suggestions

Hello dist in Charlotte, NC!

First, thanks for the ROM. I agree to the concept of eliminating as much stuff (bloat) as possible and then add those things that you really want.

I followed the OP and booted with no problems. Went the whole distance of factory reset, clear cache, advanced/clear Dalvek cache. Expect a long boot time on the first boot up, thereafter boot time is normal.

As for what should be added/deleted, some suggestions ...

- remove snapshot on status bar (there's a mod on this board that does this)

- add Titanium Backup (free version)

- different "launcher", couldn't figure out how to configure Trebuchet (no

settings/help)

- update market to play store

These are apps I have frozen in Titanium Backup:

* live walpapers

* DRM protected content storage

* email (I use gmail exclusively)

* memo

* photo wall

* Trebuchet

* world clock

* Perso?

* Key Chain?

These are apps I have added:

* AndroZip

* Dropbox

* Evernote

* Gmail

* GO Launcher EX

* No-frills CPU Control

* Root Explorer (paid version)

* Titanium Backup PRO (paid version)

I recognize these are my personal preferences, and may not make sense for the public at large. It is in no way a reflection on the work you have done.

Thanks again, hope to hear more from you.:)

How did you use adb wireless if the included kernel boot loops for you? This dmesg is when you're running which kernel? Because its only really helpful if its grabbed right before reboot when using my kernel. :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
Thanks for the feedback! As a rule of thumb I'm probably not going to add any apps that can be found in the market, since, well, they can be found in the market :).

Why are you using go launcher ex when there's go launcher HD for tablets?

Perso is for personalization. According the the gsii forums it causes problems when removed so I left it in.

Oh and I've already removed the screenshot button and increased the button spacing. It should be available when I find the time to finish the theme.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] tonysohn:
Ah.. I see. Those were the files frm a successful boot with the other kernel. I thought you were just looking for general differences in the normal boot sequence. Would you mind creating a flashable zip with just the kernel?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] dsb9938:
I think he had issues when flashing my kernel directly after your ROM. Which I guess depends on which one he used.

I would bet he sent you the dmesg after it was working.

D

.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
He had issues when he DIDNT flash your kernel before booting. I'm assuming this dmesg is when running your kernel which isn't helpful. I need one taken between flashing and bootloplops on the included kernel.

Ill do it when I get to my comp later tonight.

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Wilkij:
Good Stuff

Agree on market apps.

Didn't know Go launcher HD for tablets existed. After reading reviews, I think I'll wait on converting.

I didn't think of adding spacing on status bar, but it sure will help. Thanks again.:)
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Balthazar B:
Think I'll wait for the theming to appear. I'd guess a couple of bugs will be fixed in Beta 2, as well.

Didn't I see that you were thinking of bundling Apex as the standard launcher? Or was that a different upcoming ROM?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
I was trying out all of them. Nova was laggy in the app drawer. Apex was good. But trebuchet was just smoother and since it's not available in the market where apex is, I decided to use trebuchet at the default.

Don't know ow when the next beta will be. I've made a couple changes already but I haven't been on my comp in a while.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Maximinus I:
I wish I kmew how to theme. I like the smoothness of this rom/kernel. But I like the way cm9 looks and is set up.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Balthazar B:
I'll check Trebuchet out when I load your ROM. Would be nice to get to the bottom of those bootloops, though. :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] tonysohn:
Have you read my post in the last page? After flashing this ROM, try flashing the other kernel by dsb9938 in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1655059

I got my tab out of bootloop by doing that and now using this ROM without a problem.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Balthazar B:
I did, but I'm still curious as to why the ROM works for some folks without the kernel flash and fails for others.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
The only way I can figure this out is a dmesg from a bootlooper while running my kernel. I would make a flashable zip for my kernel but I'm away and forgot my computer :P

waiting for your next version until i flash.

What are you running your kernel at for best results?

i'm assuming just wipe dalvik/cache, flash your file?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] miketoasty:
Has anyone tried re adding the Exchange.apk? Anytime I get an email from my Exchange account email force closes, I still get the email but I can't have email force closing on me 50 times a day.

Edit:

After readding almost all of the services from Part 2, fixing their permissions, and rebooting email finally works as it should.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] tonysohn:
Since I didn't like the Samsung version of Email (bad-looking, lag lag lag), I just pulled out the Email.apk and Exchange.apk from CM9-RC0 and copied over /data/apps with Root Explorer, assigned the correct permissions (rw-r--r--). Accessing email over exchange server works like a charm.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] miketoasty:
Interesting, tried that last night and got a ton of force closes, probably related to my current issue. Will definitely give that a shot as I like AOSP email better.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
I cant decide between the superior aosp apps or the samsung apps with miniapps... Im startig to change my mind... might ditch miniapps all togethor and use the aosp apps for beta 3.

BTW I think Im finished with beta2. Need to test for a day or possibly two, but seems good so far.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Balthazar B:
The theme screenshot you posted earlier looks nice. Will that appear with Beta 3, do you think?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
Definitely... if not before then. It won't be a complete all-inclusive theme when I first post it though. I'm almost finished with all the statusbar and notification stuff, and I will post it at that time and then update it along with the rom and kernel.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
Trying to upload Beta 2. Goo.im having issues

Theme uploaded already. Hope you like it.

Beta 2 is pretty great if I do say so myself :) Super fast and smooth.

Please give feedback on how it compares to beta 1. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Juicemane_:
Thank you so much for your continued support, cant wait to try this out. Should we do a full wipe when coming from Beta 1?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
You always should. I would recommend it.

Do you have to? I don't know. Nandroid and see.

_______________________________________

Upload finished!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
Please redownload the Theme if you downloaded it earlier. There was a mistake in the install script that would cause lag in Beta 2.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Juicemane_:
Downloading now cant wait!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Maximinus I:
Very good!!!! Better than beta1 and liking the theme thank you. :thumbup:
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] tonysohn:
Okay Metallice, I'm having bootloops again with the kernel included in the new ROM, but this time I was able to "adb shell cat /proc/kmsg > kmsg_bad.txt" just before my tab went into bootloop.

Hope this helps resolving the issue with some of us with having bootloops.

EDIT: Hmmm... Bus error at the end right after the wm8994-codec...
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
Thank You!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] nphil:
The themed SystemUI.apk is only 954 KB for me. Did it upload correctly? I've downloaded the theme file two separate times, and the status bar fails to load.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jstarcher:
Beta 2 working great, loving the new system UI theme and speed/responsiveness. Thank you!

One thing I had trouble with is I did a full wipe, delvak clear coming from beta 1. I had double checked both the rom and theme md5 after transferring to the SD card. I flashed the theme directly after flashing the from without rebooting. When I restarted I did not have any of the system UI elements, the bar was completely gone.

I rebooted, wiped, flashed the from, and booted. This time I had the stock system UI at least. After getting through the basic setup I rebooted and flashed the custom theme. This time it worked perfectly. Perhaps that's how you are supposed to install a theme, I am unsure. Just wanted to let others know to save time...
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zedbra:
excellent work M8, thank you for your efforts:)
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
When flashing a theme you always have to boot before flashing. I'll add a note to the OP.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
Did you boot the ROM once before flashing?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zedbra:
would you be kind enough to share how you enabled custom bootscreen?:)

is there a guide for chaging the samsungBootani??

do i need to edit the InitRC file to use custom Bootimage.zip??

Much appreciated!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
Yes its an init.rc change. Can't remember exactly atm. I'll edit this post when I get the chance to see exactly what I did.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] matt30:
Just installed this on my GT-p3113ST. Worked like a charm. Great rom. Super fast, no bugs (that I've found yet), and the ICS theme makes the device feel more at home with my Gnex. No kernel flash necessary. I used TWRP recovery to flash.

Two thumbs up, Metallice. Next project: theme the settings menu.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
I'm looking into the boot loop problems for some people with the included kernel.

What sucks is most of the speed tweaks are part of the kernel and the speed tweaks in the rom depend on using my kernel specifically :(

You still get the debloating, but miss out on a lot.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] tonysohn:
Thanks for doing this Metallice! Yes, it would be nice to have all the speed tweaks but I'm still happy with the ROM itself. Let me know if you need further info on my end.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
I could use a tester, otherwise I won't know if the problem is solved. I'll pm you links if you're interested.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] tonysohn:
I'm willing to be your tester so pm me if you want to.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] tonysohn:
I was also having issues with force closes, but here's how I got rid of it. First copy over the two files to /system/app (not /data/app). Correct permissions (rw-r--r--). Then from System settings -> Applications -> All (tab) -> Email, select "Clear data". Set up the email account from scratch after that.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] HapaBiH:
Hi. After flashing system reports internal memory as 5GB, i have 16Gb version of tab 2 :S And one more thing, Kairosoft games don't work for some reason :D Other than that everything is good and fast. It is just internal storage that bothers me:/
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jstarcher:
Good catch. I have the 8gb model and beta 2 reports 5gb total for me as well.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] HapaBiH:
Bad news is even after flashing the stock rom, internal memory still shown as 5GB.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] featips:
I downloaded camera ICS from Google Play but it completely did not work (just black screen after start the application)...

I install the camera right after fresh install of ROM...so, the issue comes from the Camera ICS application side, or ROM side?

Anyone has similar experience? Thanks for any help.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
Camera ics and camera ics + both work for me after a fresh install. I haven't heard anyone else say it doesn't work so I don't know what to tell you.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
That's normal for the 8gb. I assume its *not* normal for the 16gb.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
Did you reflash both the stock ROM and kernel for the 16gb version?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] scottx .:
I use Camera Zoom FX and it works perfect. (as good as it can for this device, anyway)
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] HapaBiH:
I used stock rom from Sammobile with ODIN so it was probably with kernel :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Wilkij:
Working Great

Upgraded to beta 2 today with theme preview and everything is working as expected. Thanks for including Titanium Backup, it made setup real easy this time.:o
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Balthazar B:
Beta 2 has been working mostly OK for me, but I've had the odd glitch now and then. A couple of spontaneous reboots and a couple periods of screen unresponsiveness.

I notice you retained the mini-apps...are those going away in Beta 3?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
Hopefully fixing the odd boot loop isuue for some will fix sporatic issues for others.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by screen unresponsiveness?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Balthazar B:
Basically screen totally unable to respond to finger gestures. It might last 5 secs or so but then comes back. Perhaps there's a background process that's root cause.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Spanq:
What am I doing wrong here?

I'm having a hell of a time getting this to work. I'm running model GT-P3113.

I had no problems rooting the tablet and getting the CWM recovery ROM installed.

When I put this ROM on my SD, I booted into recovery, wiped the tablet, flashed the ROM, got no errors and rebooted. Now it just continually reboots. There's no consistency as to the length of time it takes to reboot. Sometimes it won't get beyond the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 logo, other times it'll show the Android logo with the animation for a random length of time, halt, and then reboot.

Does the installation process of this ROM require multiple reboots? Am I being impatient?

I can no longer reboot into the recovery ROM. The tablet returns to ODIN Download with the Power+Vol UP buttons pressed and reflashing CWM doesn't seem to do anything (Odin confirms CWM has been flashed, but it's not accessible). I also cannot see the device via adb anymore.

Can anyone give me some pointers here or tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] matt30:
Try flashing a different recovery and try the process again (like TWRP). Make sure you select "PDA" from the odin menu. When you try to boot into recovery, release the power button (but not the volume down key) when the "Galaxy Tab" screen comes up.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
Some people have issues with the included kernel I.e. smaetreflex and oc frequencies. Unfortunately you are just one of the unlucky ones with a sucky cpu. You'll have to flash another kernel or wait for beta 3.

Wait for it to power off and then charge. Then hold volume up and power to get to recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Spanq:
Using TWRP got it working. Weird. I must've just flashed a bad file somewhere. Thanks, guys.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] kuronosan:
I noticed an espresso10 section in your source, does this mean you are compiling it for the 51xx 10" as well?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
No. They are just there from Samsung, just like the Xoom, nexus s, and galaxy nexus are there from aosp.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jstarcher:
I've had this exact same behavior a couple times under heavy usage. Happened today while using Chrome. I pulled the logs but without timestamps it was hard to tell when it happened.

I'll upload the logs, perhaps someone can find the issue in it. Otherwise next time it happens I will plug it in and try to pull to logs while it is in that crazy state.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zedbra:
all seems to work good for me:)

@Metallice, you should consider changing to Static Boot Logo too :D

if i figure it out, i'll let ya know
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
I can try.

Speaking of... anybody found any cool widescreen boot animations they want to share?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] darklordray:
I am coming fromHTC Desire z/G2 forum. I bought the SGT2 7 a couple days ago and rooted it the same day.

Great job devs.

One question there is one App i liked on stock rom named AllShare. I can't seem to find it onTB extract nandroid option looking under my backed up stock rom. Any have any idea where i can f ind this App?

There was another one on rootz I think, for tablets. Looks great.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
Great news!

I don't know if anyone noticed, but so far with all touchwiz roms/kernels custom overclocking has been mostly broken due to samsung's cpu locks. (You guys suck at noticing bugs :p.)

The custom overclock would apply and look like its working. In actuality, after a few seconds or so, the max frequency would decrease back to 1008mhz, occasionally going back up and then back down.

Anyway, I believe I've finally resolved this so the Beta 3 should be the first Touchwiz ROM/Kernel with working (constant) overclocking!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] miketoasty:
Alright, first thing I have to ask is... WHEN RELEASE BETA 3?

Now, to the more adult portion of my post, I noticed that the overclocking wouldn't stick but I thought I noticed someone else say something about it a while ago in this thread, but it might have been somewhere else. Glad to hear you have it fixed!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] tonysohn:
That is indeed a great news, although my tab can't even bear a split second of overclocking. How's it going on the theming side?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] stranxk:
Hi metallice, i installed your rom with kernel and got boot loops. then i edited your rom/kernel zip file, replaced your kernel (boot.img) with my boot.img from my cw backup and everything is running great so far. Yes, i know i am missing all your kernel tweaks.

My model is p3110 and my stock rom was IML74K.P3110XXALD4, i guess this one is newer than ALD3 (other example: the polaris office apk version is newer than yours too), i can send you my cwn backup (stock) so you can take a look and try to figure out why your kernel causes boot loop in my device and maybe others.

Bug reports:

when going to settings-security-find my mobile-remote controls-accept. Settings app force closes.

In your theme, when in landscape mode, the systray bar haves some overlayed buttons when using apps as root explorer. (Menu button in systraybar is overlayed with mini apps button)

Thank you for this rom and all your efforts.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
You have the P3110. As indicated by the title of this thread, this ROM was built from the stock P3113 LD3 ROM and this kernel was built starting from the P3113 kernel source. Obviously the kernel will cause bootloops as its for a different device. I don't know about this ALD4 ROM. It may be newer, or it may be specific to the P3110. The newest for the p3113 afaik is LD3. I'll look into it.

I believe I removed Samsung's find my mobile stuff so it will force quit if you try to use it. I will not be re-adding that stuff as I consider it bloat and there are plenty of adequate 3rd party locator tools out there.

Assuming you mean portrait and not landscape...

That's what happens when you make the buttons AOSP sized. The legacy menu button runs into samsung's custom button in the middle. They are still all fully functional. Unless I remove the mini apps button it will stay like this.

Thanks for the feedback!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] stranxk:
Thank you!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
1. Thanks. I'll pick it apart. :)

2. Sorry I don't know what apps are related to the find my mobile. It would be one of the apps I removed as as of now I haven't removed any libs.

3. I accomplished it with xml editing by forcing the button width to 80.0 dpi. The file name is tw_statusbar.xml or something like that.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] stranxk:
1.- More info about p3110:

clockwork odin file from p3113 works, root zip for p3113 works, its wifi only, and i am from mexico.

Here is it, my factory reseted P3110XXALD4 stock rom/kernel rooted.

I created that backup with cwm. It is NOT a flashable zip. (Just in case someone else downloads it)

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] pankaj981:
Don't know whether this is a known bug but the Camera ICS application when opened, the icons in the system tray kinda get messed up.

Also I have been using this ROM with Trebuchet and it works great so as to make tweaks to the screens and widgets...
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
That icons in the system tray get "messed up"? How do you mean? Working fine for me.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
I guess this confirms that overclock is now working :)

Reminder: benchmarks are worthless
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] pinoymutt:
QQ - do you happen to have a CWM-flashable file for just the kernel? I was thinking about running your kernel with stock and debloating myself. But before I started building a "frakenbuild" version of a CWM, I'd thought I'd ask the dev first :)

(I was going to replace another kernel flashable CWM with the boot.img from this ROM)
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
If you need it right now, judt go ahead and rip out the boot.img from the provided install zip and copy it over the boot.img in another kernel only install zip. Thats what i would have to do anyway. My AOSP kernel install zip or dsb's would work fine.

Also, FYI I plan to post a kernel only zip when I finish and post beta 3 (likely tomorrow).
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] pinoymutt:
Cool, I'm in no rush so I'll check out Beta 3.

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] nphil:
Thank you, my tablet can finally run at 1350mhz now and it's completely stable. This is a noob question, but does our tablet share RAM with the GPU? Is that why it shows only 688MB (691MB for beta 3) total RAM?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Metallice:
Yeah about 128mb dedicated for gpu and about 200 dedicated for the OS. The rest is for apps and system and stuffs.
