[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
are either of you still on CWM for recovery? I just want to try the update I posted in CWM to see where in the script it is failing for people. Stock recovery does not UI print like whats in the script to do. Either that or I don't know how to make it show.

On another note Gilbot I'm wondering if also the recovery from boot has to be in place and not deleted or rename .p.bak. I just wish I could see what the culprit is for stopping the update.

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

Gilbot this all leads me to believe that there is a discrepancy between FD01 and FD01b.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rhester72:
I concur. I've never even heard of FD01b...how was it distributed?

Rodney
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gilbot:
Unfortunately I won't be at a PC to test anything else for another 5 hours, but to answer your question I can see the new FD01b to FH01 29.3 MEG update and download it from verizon through software update. Once it fails to update I can only see the update again if I reboot into stock recovery and wipe cache and wipe data/factory reset
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
Makes sense but I don't understand then why the update download is FD01b update? wonder if it is just the update being distributed or if it was based on build prop. or if that is the reason why I couldnt' see the update until I killed the google framework data.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gilbot:
Not sure if this helps but here is a screen of my about device for comparisons:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
Yea I'm sure they will all be about the same because we all worked from the same update file. The build.prop on mine hashes to not what is expected in the patch check as well. I wish there was a stock FD01 like what my tablet came with *sigh*
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rhester72:
I'm on stock FD01, /system/build.prop has never been modified. My SHA1 for it is 24cbe7f44eac3ccceb04ab1b519eb3e174b58305.

set_progress(0.692667);

from the FA02C to FD01...sorry
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rhester72:
Sounds like build.prop wasn't modified in FD01->FD01b, then, but other files were.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] unremarked:
Tested the update on a completely stock, never been touched GTab 7.7 in the store. The 29.3mb update failed here as well.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
Now I can laugh thank you for that unremarked.

It looks like the SHA1 on the left is the finished patch value? The one on the right is what it is looking for on the system before it will patch it.

Curious that the build props don't have the same SHA1 from end of FD01 to beginning of FH01 :confused:

edit:

Aurora.odex is updated and the SHA1 end from FA02C to FD01 matches the SHA1 begin in FD01b to FH01
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TonyBigs:
That's interesting.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rhester72:
This does, of course, beg the question of how our one successful contributor managed to apply it and ICS...

Rodney
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
Who was that? I missed anyone getting it updated to FH01
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rhester72:
That's my guess as well.

That's easily eplained - the "pre" SHA1 for FH01 is from FD01b, not FD01.

It just seems a bit odd that *nobody* has FD01b.

Rodney
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
the other two files that I found that don't match mine also don't match the update SHA1's:

/system/bin/debuggerd

/system/wifi/ar6000.ko

probably more...

so is anyone willing to try loading up CWM and attempting to apply the bin renamed as a zip. I wonder if under advanced in CWM that it will give the verbose UI print so we can see the first file that fails. I literally went file by file comparing the hashes with what I had on my slab and I'm not confident I didn't miss some.

Just a thought
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] unremarked:
Tried that. Fails due to build.prop mismatch. Remove the check and then apks checks. Mismatch. Cleared all checks to the write portion of the script. Everything mismatched and failed out

Well, to be precise, I first saw the FH01 update from Verizon a little more than 24 hours ago.

Rodney
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rdbwpb:
I purchased my tab 3 days ago and it's running FD01 and it's failing just like everyones.

Just a side note, I noticed in the Verizon Support forum that the 10.1 ICS rollout was reporting the same issue. There were screen shots of the same failure on the 10.1. I couldn't find anything about a fix and I realize it's unrelated.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] zgx:
Since samsung has distributed the ICS update, the licenses require them to release the source, correct?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
Correction CM9 and yes tried the lp10 update and got the boot loop and was never able to mount data in cwm. Loaded up on LP10 now but haven't restored fd01 recovery to load electrons radio zip. Did you load it? I think the cause is either:

Odin (not likely)

Flawed CWM (think I ruled that out today)

with reboot set in Odin I was never able to catch it directly into can next. It always would either shut off because of holding down power while showing charging animation, or go directly into boot. If I powered off during the boot and restart holding pow+vup I'd get it second try. Time to put my corkscrews pattern back on lol.

I may loaded back too much data after the format keep getting fc on gapps from time to time most likely a sync event.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
What i dont understand is everytime i try to use Odin I end up with unable to mount /data (invalid argument). Whether flashing to FD01 recovery or CWM doesn't matter

update fc on gapps I believe was from TiBu restoring bookmarks and then trying to sync to google account internet sync item, cleared data on internet app and bookmark sync loaded all my Google bookmarks immediately. Advantage ics on hc that was a difficult task to initially accomplish.

ics shortcuts

I agree but does anyone know where or if you can add shortcuts in ICS. I only see the ability to add widgets and folders and apps to home screen. Pandora has a shortcut called stations list and it didn't load up nor can I find where to readd it. Other shortcuts were like direct text a contact etc. But there seem to be widget replacements for most of those.

no option for 5. Select install update from EXTERNAL Storage

this may be a super noob question, but when I enter recovery mode, I do not get the option for "Select install update from EXTERNAL Storage".

All I get are

reboot system now

apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

obviously I tried apply sdcard/update.zip but all that does is land me at the android caution sign - and then I need to reboot.

Have I missed a simple and obvious step? I have all I need on the SD card.

thanks much in advance for any insight!

Can anyone tell me how do we change the DPI and which ones have you used
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] O26Keypunch:
If you are looking to just increase font size, the function now actually somewhat works in settings >display>font size if you have installed ICS. Does not work everywhere, but worth a try and does not have bugs big font app causes. What I mean by not everywhere- example- xda premium topics page is original smaller font but page with actual posts are larger.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ice0901:
I'm want the entire UI larger which includes icons. I'll play around with different dpi's. I didn't want to because some dpi's will prevent the system from booting and would rather not be forced to factory reset several times in quest for the perfect value if this has already been tested.

Not sure if there is a touchwiz removal guide, you'd probably need someone to make a ROM for that. As for stock ICS launcher :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1690588

That launcher works. Copy/paste it in system/app folder with a root-enabled file explorer then tap it to install. Note that touchwiz widgets work with it after a reboot.

If you're using CM10 with 213 DPI:

Using a root-enabled file explorer, navigate to system > build.prop. Look for this line:

ro.sf.lcd_density=213​

Change 213 to a desired DPI. 160 and 170 DPI work.

Not sure why I can't then. I get the device is not compatible. I wonder if something edited my build.prop. My device still shows as SCH-i815 in the play store desktop website version. The only thing I can think of is I restored backups using TiBu and it asked did I want to restore my Android ID from the backups.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] johnd603:
Yes here as well..?? I'm running Chrome as my "default" browser... I did a "wipe-clean install" as my data partition flaked out (I was a very early upgrader, but, with the posts walking others through how to reconstruct that partition, it was fine) when I flashed the modem file (as other early upgraders)...

I'm not sure this helps you, though??
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
Dunno if you've read my whoas on the data partition but mine has flaked since first flash back in June. Maybe because I had refurb. probably was bricked and returned. lol

anyway yea I redid the part everytime I flashed with Odin: CWM for LP10 then e3 for modem then CWM again for keeps. redid /data to ext4 each time. I just clear data for the play store app and play services app. phone keeps ringing so I'll try in the play store again if not I'll try to just push it from the web since it says it compatible there but on device app it says it isn't.

strange

Update: force stop,clear data, immediate reboots for the following and was good to go: google framework, play store services, play store.

Now it's seeing them as compatible.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
Guess I had to do some research and found the answer to my question. What I was looking for are called live folders and Android 3.0+ doesn't support live folders. They use app widgets with collections instead. I think the scrollable youtube widget is an example of this. So I guess I'm out of luck with Pandora ftm.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
You should go to advanced and see if you can mount data prior to trying to flash to data. There is a common problem of flashing recovery and corrupting data. report back if your CWM can moutn data or if cannot. If it cannot you are going to have to repartition it and try again and then never flash a another recovery lol unless you want to part again. Try that though and report back.

Good question. That's the only thing holding me back. Stock rooted ICS is fine but but cm10 (even cm9) is my true love. :)

I'm also wondering the status.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] esoh:
I believe the issue is that the blobs for the Verizon ICS release haven't been released yet. Once those are made available, then the code needed to add the radio access for this device can be added to the various ICS/JB custom ROMs. Therefore, it's not that people aren't working on it right now, it's just that they can't given what's out there. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. And since the next inevitable question is, "when will the blobs be released," I don't think that anyone really knows that right now. Given that Verizon has pulled the official ICS update for now, I would imagine that we would at least have to wait for that to happen and then get the blobs at some point after that.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] caseyatbt:
Do they generally release them after the ROM is out?

Sent from the Delta Quadrant using XDA Premium
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
Our big issue has been that for i815 there haven't been releases. Probably part of the reason the are implementing incremental updates instead of a ROM is avoid or delay releasing LTE enabled sources. <speculation.

This happened after changing to LP10 but i did it on my other i815 and it went smoothly, no problems and runs great. Had to switch with my bro to test/fix his or take to store for support.

Its not just VZW abandoning its customers

Yes, but its not just Samsung & VZW, I still have open cases from August 2011 from AT&T, Android & HTC regarding a HTC Inspire 4g. The bigger insult is that both Samsung & Verizon were some of the first signers of Android's "Anti Fragmentation Policy" that states all parties are to provide updates for 18 months following the release of a new device (hardware permitting). Coincidently this is the same agreement that Motorola Mobility (now OWNED by Google) signed and then violated when they decided not to update the Atrix 2 (yes, I owned that 1 too,hmm seems to be a pattern to my purchases:confused::rolleyes:) & a bunch of others. I think in the future I'll go with Nexus devices, their hardware may not be as good, (& very slow updates on VZW) but at least they'll get updated.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] firetruck41:
If you are worried about thickness, you will steer clear of Trident/Otterbox/Casemate tough/etc.

Just by watching video reviews, I prefer the Kraken's ease of putting the case on/taking it off, as I will be doing that every couple days when I go to work. Also, I like the polycarbonate on the outside layer, as opposed to the silicone layer on the outside on the Otterbox.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Cruzin95:
I watched a YouTube vid of a Kraken on an Iphone4. Not sure if I like it or not, the silicone seems flimsy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ez0fHb8Zu4
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
I was about to order one till I watched a review. The clip design is impractical. The way you have to align it with the case is far from easy and if you don't get it perfect it will fall off.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] firetruck41:
In a way I agree with you, I don't think I will use the silicone layer as a case by itself (which you can do). In fact, I would never use any silicone as a case by itself, I don't like it's "flimsiness", and also the feel in my hand and how easily it picks up dust. But its flimsiness does not present a problem at all, when used with the polycarbonate exterior shell, the silicone will work great as a shock absorber and keep the phone snug in the polycarbonate outer shell.

Even though I have not had one, or even held one before, some of the reviews I watched convinced me, and I pre-ordered one in red. I have a few friends with the Otterbox, I just don't like the integrated screen protector, silicone outer layer, and it does not look like like it is as easily installed/removed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Cruzin95:
I wonder how the belt clip works with the Kraken/GS3 on page 1. There's no hole for the belt clip. It's different than the Kraken on the IPhone4.
