[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pershoot:
im leaving out fstab for now to not over complicate things while i further investigate this for a perma fix. that and i would like to keep setting the meta_info and encryptable flags when doing fsck check (which fs_mgr doesnt understand when using fstab method).

shift sdcard and sec_keyboard to the main class.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pershoot:
might have to tweak this some. still testing...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pershoot:
this is not working properly from extended testing.

abandoning this for now..
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pershoot:
this also happens on n8xx, in JB, so its not just this tab.

will investigate further and up-port if possible (if the former takes too long).

Is there any way to enable the user switching that jb brings? I remember a different cm10 build had that enabled.

I noticed that the Big-3 (pershoot, KK and C-o-M) were looking into timing issues with the sec_keyboard stuff. I have no idea if the following is relevant in any way but I noticed a difference between the P75xx ICS and P7300-HK ICS sources that may be interesting:

Again, not sure if it means anything in this situation, but the P7300-HK ICS sources are the only P73xx ICS sources we've seen so far. And since the current JB/CM10 sec_keyboard.c seems very similar to (if not the same as) the P75xx ICS code this may be relevant.

Anyway, just thought I'd mention it.

That is a different problem and it is solved by using a different bootloader. I flashed the XAR 3.2 firmware because the XAR 4.0.4 firmware did not contain a bootloader so I figured the bootloader from XAR 3.2 should do the trick and it did.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Here's what I built last night. Not sure if keyboard dock works as sec_keyboard is now disabled also in pershoots repos.

And before someone asks, yes, it is Android 4.1.2

Had to long press to boot into the new build. Had me at that on but not black screen. Came back up though. All seems well. Camera(s) FC'd me at first, but work fine now.....nice. I'll mess with it in the am and see what I come up with, which won't be much as these builds run like clockwork for me....thanks, and great work....appreciate ya'....

Thx kalt, but which kernel did you use, 3.1?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Stamgastje:
Kernel 3.1.10.

@kallt-kaffe: I think it might help to add to the start post that build 2012-10-13 introduces the new ICS kernel 3.1.10, since the screen shot in the start post still shows version 2.6.36.4.

And another suggestion (if I may): it may also make sense to add a short list of known problems to the start post, e.g. something like this:

Known problems:

Keyboard dock not working, may cause problems when the tablet goes into standby. Introduced in build 2012-10-13.

Shutdown while charging: the tablet may randomly shutdown while being charged. Solved in build 2012-10-13.

Front camera not working. Selecting the front camera will cause a FC, after which the Camera/Gallery app will refuse to start. Reset the Gallery app data to resolve this problem.Solved in build 2012-10-13.

Both cameras not working. Partially solved in build 2012-08-04 (rear camera working), fully solved in build 2012-10-13 (both cameras working).

This probably helps for people who are new to this ROM.

Anyway, big thanks again to kallt_kaffe, pershoot and C-o-M!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] safariking:
Feedback from me:

- Both camera's working good!

- New kernel is awesome

- no shutdown on charging bug!

Thanks for the hard work!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jessevl:
While your latest build runs very smooth and stable, charging seems to be messed up since I flashed this version. Charging while the tab is on is so insanely slow that it only adds 20% in over ten hours. When I turn off the tab to charge it seems to charge correctly but when i turn it on again it uses about 20% per hour with only light usage (used to be 10%). Is no one else experiencing this problem, i never had it before...

Edit: the battery meter wasn't correct, it did charge fully in one night(albeit slowly). Still rums dowm way tpo quick though.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] C-o-M:
That are exactly the changes between our kernel and Galaxy Tab Plus, that I tried yesterday (together with some others). But they don't solve the suspend bug :(

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

I have never really used the tab, I'm just flashing all the time :D But at least I can say that it uses nearly no power in deep sleep with this kernel. My tab lay around for about one week, with WLAN on, and took about 10% battery in that time (I didn't have time to do anything and forgot to switch it off).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] MAMUTHcz:
Anyone with 3g version without working 3g? My tab recognises my Sim, bit 3g doesnt seem to work
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tvi:
3G is not working

Great!! Almost everything is working now and stable.. Except 3G is not working. The signal and operator is shown but it seams like Data is disabled. Tried to reconfigure Access points, Stop/Start, reboot.. Still nothing is working.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
Also having some battery issues. discharge too fast and when I charged it over night I had to restart t to havethe correct battery showing.

Modem seems to be working in the latest relIease still can't connect to the net though

Also my discharge is far to high. The seems like the old battery issues from the old 10.1 ics ports are back.

What kernel is being used? The official 8.9 or is it based on 10.1?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] MAMUTHcz:
I did exactly the Same thing... part from this issue ROM seems to be perfect
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] chemicalbuz:
quote, same problem here, fully charged battery last 40 minutes, didn't try yet to discharge it in recovery for recalibration, it will take a couple of days
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Stamgastje:
I don't recognize that problem. I installed the 2012-10-12 version at Friday and fully charged the tablet during the night from Friday to Saturday. Since then (so in the last 30 hours), I have installed the 2012-10-13 version and played around a bit, but the battery charge is still at 82 percent. So the battery of my tablet does not seem to drain very fast with those two versions, given that I have used the tablet quite a bit and it has only lost 18% of charge.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] StarkCity:
I flashed the latest on a full battery, its still at 62 percent. I'll put it on the charger around 20 to see if I get anything weird, but so far I've yet to see any irregularities. Just for info's sake: I was using the new gmail, coming into the rom, when attempting to open the now stock gmail, it was crashing. Even the playstore version crashed me after a system level deletion and replacement. Something cached that wasn't jiving so I had to manually put the new gmail back in.....now I'm good.

In my CM10 Kindle Fire forum, we're changing build.props to gain app compatibility, and its also fixing a few glitches in them, (Facebook) in particular. I'm seeing the exact same glitch on this rom on the same app. Is anyone doing this regularly on this device? Swapping build id's that is? Various apps can do it, as well as manually renaming at system level, but I'm curious if anyone has tried this for one reason or another......if so, what did you rename it?

I get this fuc*ing artefacts everytime I wake the device..
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] C-o-M:
Come on. kallt_kaffe told you how to fix that. And there is a FAQ in the general forum where the solutiom is described.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Here's the bootloader from the XAR 3.2 P7310 firmware (the XAR 4.0.4 firmware does not contain a bootloader). Unzip and flash with Odin (using the Bootloader option instead of the PDA option that you use when you flash a full rom)

Totally used at your own risk. It's from a p7310 firmware but checking it with a hexeditor it says p5 in a couple for place but not specifically p5wifi so I suppose it might be the same bootloader for both p7300 and p7310 devices.

MIGHT BRICK YOUR DEVICE! I took the route of first flashing the full XAR 3.2 firmware, then the XAR 4.0.4. However flashing the bootloader should be enough but I cannnot guarantee anything at all. It did not brick my device when I tried flashing it but I was already on that bootloader so your experience might be different.

Also, if you do not have the scrambled screen after sleep, then you already have a compatible bootloader.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] MAMUTHcz:
I noticed something strange... we all know that 3g is not working in this rom. However when Im on my home wifi, tab shows 3g signal as well. If I turn off wifi, the sign dissapears. Mabe this might be somehow helpful in discovering where is the bug.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] fred_be9300:
If this is reported to work, I will add it to my "ICS FAQ". Until now, the "known solution" is to flash e.g. P7310UELA3 ROM (to get the good boatloader, basically).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] aprold:
Works like a charm. Had the same wake up scrambled screen problem since flashing new CM10 and now it's fixed thanks to the reflashed bootloader.

I've been following Cold Coffee's footsteps since the early stages of CM9 and like many others hard bricked my tablet as well. But no worries, the service said they swapped out the mainboard and probably didn't even bother to figure out the real bricking reasons. And I'm very grateful that there are still a few devs who keep this tablet alive. Thanks to you all! You know who you are!

EDIT: well, not perfectly charming though - got scrolling CWM screen now...

EDIT2: reverted back to 5.5.0.4 and this is OK (scrolling CWM was 6.0.0.8)

EDIT3: 6.0.0.8 alternate works (thanks to Fred's comment below)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] fred_be9300:
If CWM 6 is important to you (it uses a new incremental nandroid backup mechanism... not everyone likes it), you could try the other 6.0.0.8 (there was a "regular" and "alternate" version, with the alternate at the time being used by some who found the "regular" to produce graphics artefacts like what you mention)

Hey kk & pershoot ...

Thank you guys too keep alive the galaxy tab 8.9! Last 2nd weekends i tried to sell it on ebay, but nobody will pay 180 euros for this great tab :crying: so i thought aboutnit to sell it for 120 euros, because no really good jb rom updates cooming and samsung will not updated on jb like galaxy 7.7 and 10.1n!!

This was the reason why i bought the new nexus7 tab, because i was so sad & tired to watch every day here for nothing ... Like no new roms and no rom updates about 2 month. I SWEAR: THAT I WILL NEVER BUY SAMSUNG OR OTHER DEVICES WITH TOUCHWIZ OR SENSE BULL****!! I WILL BUY FOR FUTURE ONLY "NEXUS" PRODUCTS!!!

the nexus7 .... cant believe how sexy is it! How smoothie & how superfast updates comming and how many devs & roms (love paranoid) you will find on xda! so i came today back to give the galaxy tab 8.9 last chance and was so happy to see u devs here!

I flashed your last update with a full wipe & with wipe cache & dalvilk and flashed last jb gapps: ALL IS WORKING FOR ME SMOOTH LIKE LARGE, COOL BOOTANIMATION, GMAIL WORKING, WIFI VERY GOOD, BATTERY AMAZING, ALL APPS RUNNING NO FCs ... Thank you guys im really happy now and i will keep 8.9 tab and will give my woman the nexus 7 ;)

In love forever & donation cooming soon!

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] TheDamFr:
I'm tired of flashing etc etc...

I've put a headset on my tab and it's giving XX music. I hope it will relax my tab and then it will boot.

Yes, that's the only solution I found.

Should I Upgrade Bootloader ? I never did anything about the bootloader... How to know wich one I'm running ?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ealax:
Why does the bootloader gets broken?

I would like to test the rom, however i have some questions before regarding installation (few single steps) and features included or missing

Bug list on front page can also be handy

For me this rom seems a bit more than a preview now,

Does it work the voice calling modem from the other thread?

Does it include internet calls enabled?

Ov/uv features are included in the kernel?

Apps compatibility? Any known issue or force closes?

Thanks for your work, i think this effort is worthed to be supported with donation :)

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] fred_be9300:
That freeze fix is known to solve a specific problem on stock Samsung ICS Rom and close derivatives.

No one so far has reported the same problem on CM10. Also, your symptoms are different (the reported fix was for a situation of system freeze, not auto reboot)

There is more than 1 reason that your tab might freeze or reboot.

Good luck, hope you solve yours...

Sent from the road.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] C-o-M:
It's more than that. The new bootloader is incompatible with our kallt_kaffe's 2.6 kernel. So you will get that scrolling screen with

CWM 6.0.0.8 (normal version. the alternate is not affected because it uses an old stock kernel)

any pre-3.1 cm build. So be warned: you won't be able to downgrade to an old cm build without downgrading the bootloader

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] mali100:
Are you sure about that? I'm running now the latest CM10 Build with the 3.1 kernel and I came directly from CM9. I didn't flash an updated bootloader, nor got I any problems in CM9 (no scrolling screen) or CM10 (no scrambled screen or such things).

CWM 6.0.1.0 works just fine, too. (I don't think that I'm using the alternate version:

cat /proc/version

Linux version 2.6.36.4-cyanogenmod+ (kalltkaffe@ubuntu-vm) (gcc version 4.5.1 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2010.09-51) ) #10 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 23 09:33:38 CEST 2012)

Is there a way to check the currently installed bootloader version, or to even extract it.

/edit: I thought cm9 used the old kernel, but I seem to have confused some things...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jessevl:
Guys please be aware that this ROM does have the battery calibration bug from the 13-10 version onwards. I can confirm that it is indeed the exact same issue that happened on early ICS ports from the p7510. The tab reaches 0% very quickly and shuts down while the battery voltage is still above 3.9 volts (which should indicate around 75% left). Have tried recalibrating yesterday but had no luck, will try again today. Just to make sure it is this ROM and not some other ROM or kernel I've had installed before: I came from stock p7310 ICS with no issues and have never even used the p7510 ICS port.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] pseudoheld:
for me this release is much faster than samsung ics!

flashing via odin shouldn't make any difference.

did you do a full wipe? did you over clock the device (this makes it a lot fluider)? what launcher are you using? how long did you have it running? etc etc etc. loads of reasons are possible.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] riemer:
I make these steps (sorry for my english, i'm french)

- Copy ROM on my GTAB by USB

- WIPE/Factory reset with CWM 6.0.1.0

I can't install a software because too slow

This isn't happening on my device. No shut down, same battery life dependant upon overclocking and brightness. I can drain it in a day, or keep it going for three depending on settings and usage. Just don't want to scare anyone away from the build.

Edit: Dont thank me yet.....I've seriously never encountered this bug. Wasn't around for two days until talking about it. And now within 3 hrs I'm almost spent. I apologize, and feel you are correct. I let it get down to 20 percent. Going to run a full cycle.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] C-o-M:
I am only sure that my bootloader has this problem. If you were able install the latest build without updating bootloader, you probably have a better one than we have.

You have to differentiate between the different builds:

2.6.36 kernel: all CM9 nightlys, all CM10 builds up to last week and CWM 6.0.0.8

3.1 kernel: CM9 experimental builds in September, new experimental CM10 builds

2.6 stock kernel: CWM 5.x and CWM 6.0.0.8 alternative

On my old bootloader, 2.6.36 kernel was fine, but 3.1 kernel got that garbled screen (Strassenapotheker posted a picture of it).

On the new bootloader (same as kallt_kaffe posted), 3.1 kernel (and 2.6 stock) is fine, but 2.6.36 gets the rolling screen (in CWM as well as on CM9/10).

If you really have a bootloader that runs with both kernel, it would be great if you can tell us which one it is. It's pretty simple to find out: just open Terminal Emulator (or adb shell) and type

su
dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt

Then the bootloader name is mentioned somewhere in the first lines of that file.
