I see what you mean...... I'll change the wording in OP.

Yes, there is init.d support without the need for a custom kernel.

The scripts i added have been tweaked (some) and tested. Many other scripts found in xda don't actually work or are not needed with ICS, and or require custom supported kernel installed. Allot of build.prop tweaks are useless or not supported too.

But of course you're welcome to do what you like with the ROM for personal use ;)

Current stage of next release:

AGPS patch done.

Implementing and trying to test beats audio and Sony Bravia Engine 2. Many CWM.zip files you find won't actually work, needed to tweak and bake into the ROM with correct permissions etc. :D

Battery% and 4 way reboot will take time.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] lambstone:
So I take it that the PimpMyRom tweaks won't work as well?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
I won't disrespect PimpMyROM as the concept is an excellent excellent idea. Many tweaks will work for many various devices. Some will not or placebo. Some tweaks won't work Froyo-GB-ICS-JB etc

As far as THIS ROM goes, CPU GPU (edit: init.d) tweaks won't work (unless supported custom kernel), many build.prop tweaks such as "lock launcher in memory" doesn't work with ICS (services.jar needs to be modded), many tweaks for device with modem/radio, also some no difference can be "felt", so I don't use them.

So far, I only use tweaks in my ROM that I have tested and that I feel have

noticeable

benefit, not placebo..........

You're quite welcome to clean out my working init.d and working build.prop tweaks and try others, but please don't post here with any issues you encounter.

Cheers

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Dolphin Trainer:
Love your work UpInTheAir, thanks!

Running very smoothly here..

One request: disable the bootup sound (/etc/PowerOn.ogg), thats my only peeve... but easy done with Root Explorer anyway.

Keep up the great work :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Cheers :thumbup:

Was "fence sitting" with the boot up sound, maybe I'll remove it for v2.1. Did remove the boot animation during v2.0 testing, but re-enabled it for release.

Just having a few issues with v2.1. But on the the flip side, made progress with others. :)

Need to drop the development for a day or so, then go at it again nice and fresh :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Alcibiade:
I am jealous, I wnat the same for my P6800 :crying:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] robt2379:
I'm really looking forward to v2.1. I've been running stock ICS for a while but definitely going to give this ago.

So few options for the 6810 but this looks like its going to be a bit special...

Thanks for supporting us P6810 owners.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] diamond_lover:
Thanks for this nice rom!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Thank you.

Hopefully v2.1 will be a major improvement, not nearly ready for full testing as yet, but have been testing after each mod has been baked. It takes time to make sure everything works and runs smoothly :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] robt2379:
Take your time, good things are worth waiting for!

And I'm away for the next week anyway.....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
v2.1 Testers needed

I need 2 experienced P6810 users to test and give feedback on pre-release v2.1 for P6810 (Wifi version only).

This is not an incremental update, so a FULL WIPE will be required (as in OP), and ideally please test as many things as possible BEFORE restoring any User apps or data.

Please, under no circumstances restore any System apps from any backup!

My wifi modem has packed it in, so unable to finish testing. :eek:

First 2 to post reply in this thread will be given a private download link for testing purposes (need to upload first).

Please read installation instructions and disclaimer in OP !!

Changelog

v2.0 --> v2.1 RC1 (25/9/2012)

* Battery % with a/c charging animation

* Extended reboot menu (thanks to mengpo’s guide)

* Removed CWM Manager

* Added Solid Explorer app

* Beats Audio + DSP Manager

* Sony Bravia Engine 2 – placebo or not........

* Universal AGPS patch - for faster GPS lock

* Smooth scroll mod (disabled scrolling cache)

I will NOT release this build untested for public consumption

Thanks :cool:

.

.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] robt2379:
I'd be happy to do this BUT I'm away for the next week.

If you're still looking for testers when I get back I would be more than happy to have a go..

Good luck!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Thanks, but I'll also be away, next week for an undetermined time.

Edit: need to get a new wifi modem too...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mengpo:
hey there !

What do you need to be tested ?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Hi mengpo !

Hope you can please help me out here. PM'd you with the v2.1 RC1 link.

The ROM needs testing on;

1. Connectivity of Wifi, GPS (download of AGPS data), BT etc

2. Downloading of market apps

3. Testing any apps requiring internet connection

Your opinon of Sony Bravia Engine 2 & Beats Audio mods

4. ROM (not Samsung) bugs, if any............

5. Suggestions and comments welcome

Cheers mate :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mengpo:
No problem I can try this out ;) however when do you want to end this beta test ?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
I have tested each mod individually after implementing, and The ROM itself is seems to be running smoothly and stable without any (apparent) bugs right now.

I would think at least one more day, providing there are no issues to correct.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Dolphin Trainer:
I can have a look if more testers are required. Might take me a while to download as I'm away on work in a small town on unreliable 3G.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] lambstone:
I've read that the software Sony bravia engine does not bring confirmed improvements to visual quality as it requires proprietary libs from Sony. Perhaps it might be best to leave it out so as not to clutter the rom?

Sent From the Tab
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
I had read that the build.prop edits weren't included, so without them, the be_movie & be_photo (need to set permissions) don't work.

Please provide the link to your source.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] hudl:
Hi! First, let me thank you for taking care of our despised 6810! ;)

Unfortunately I don't have much time to help with testing, but be assured you work is very much appreciated! Thanks!

According to Bravia Engine I found the following: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1406605

So, I think it's placebo... :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mengpo:
+1

I've tested it and I cannot tell whether this mod really enhances the screen or not :/
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Thank you, but the OP (edit: in the link) definately was sure (he was the one with 2 devices side-by-side), not the mod ! :D

Although I am 100% sure the "mod" does not does not have any negative effect on the ROM, I will leave it out for now. End of discussion ;)

Been doing a little more tinkering. I think v2.1 will be a slim version, with a removed apps as add-on. Wait and see, could change my mind. Just don't have the time..........

Edit: v2.1 will be full "bloated" version :)

Slim + add-on will be v3.0 next android build (if ever P6810 gets further ICS or JB......)

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] liqn7:
Time for a p6800 build please? :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
I definitely would give it a go, but unfortunately just don't have the time.

All depends on what needs doing at home (when I'm there), family, and of course, my day job involves allot of time away.

Edit: will be heading away again next week, and not sure when back, but will try on my return if I have time.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] THXWOW:
Does everything work like the official rom?

I can't tell what the known issues are, if there are any at all.

I need the HDMI output to work for sure. Is there any problems with this rom?

thx
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
You tell me ;)

Samsung based ROMs tend to have very little "bugs". If there was any problem, I wouldn't have released it, the ROM is as it should be............. :good:

Yes, HDMI out is sweet :)

As of this moment, v2.1 has 42 downloads and no replies to this thread regarding any "bugs" (none about anything for that matter), heck, I did enough testing also with the help from mengpo for a little feedback on v2.1 RC1/RC2.

Have a read through Posts #1 → 3 thoroughly before installing.

Edit: Updated post #3

Cheers :cool:

.

.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mengpo:
I've just tested the hdmi part and here are the bugs :

Default video player isn't working the external screen;

Other players can't stream on the external screen unless you're set them on sw (software) decoding;

That's the only thing I found with the SkyHigh rom ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
There is NO HDMI bug with this ROM build. It works as Samsung intented (edit: as released) !! Even the same as HC.

Just tested again so I could post some screen shots...............

My HDMI out works with stock Video Player on external screen :thumbup:

My HDMI out works with MX Player in both hardware and software mode on external screen. It will play .vob files in software & .Mp4 in both software & hardware modes. :thumbup:

Below: MX Player .vob file - Software supported only

Video taken (720p) with the stock Video Camera app is displayed on HDMI out on both stock Video Player app and MX Player (both software & hardware modes).

As I said ;)

;) :thumbup:

Questions:

1. Are you using a genuine Samsung HDMI out adapter?

2. Did you restore any System apps or data?

3. Have you tested the HDMI cable and connection with another device

4. Are you using a a/c power source for your HDMI out adapter? (USB power won't normally work)

5. Have you checked your player settings?

6. Check cable connections

7. Quality & integrity of cable?

8. Tablet & TV port, OK, clean, pins straight?

9. Try a better app with more codecs (MX Player)?, although stock Video Player displays HDMI out on external screen on my device

10. From Post #2:

11. Are you running the "test" version instead of v2.1?

12. Check the md5 checksum? f03858db9ed895fa0f4d79be56ef93fa

.

.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mengpo:
Don't take it wrong ;) I'm not saying your rom has bugs in it. The rom is working better than the stock but for the hdmi part I wanted to say (and you said it too) : "It works as Samsung intented (edit: as released) !!"

I'm almost sure that theses bugs are samsung's and not due to your modifications.

Sorry about the misunderstanding :/

About the questions:

1. Are you using a genuine Samsung HDMI out adapter?

Genuine

2. Did you restore any System apps or data?

No

3. Have you tested the HDMI cable and connection with another device

Of course

4. Are you using a a/c power source for your HDMI out adapter? (USB power won't normally work)

Yes

5. Have you checked your player settings?

Yes

6. Check cable connections

Already done

7. Quality & integrity of cable?

This cable is good checked it twice.

8. Tablet & TV port, OK, clean, pins straight?

Yes

9. Try a better app with more codecs (MX Player)?, although stock Video Player displays HDMI out on external screen on my device

Bs player, stock player and Mx player same issue. The file are flv and mpg maybe that's the problem

10. From Post #2:

As I said, did it

11. Are you running the "test" version instead of v2.1?

I'm still on the test version. Still testing your version ;), did you changed something about video stuffs ?

12. Check the md5 checksum? f03858db9ed895fa0f4d79be56ef93fa

Already done that.

You did a really good job there ;) Keep it up !
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Thanks, didn't take it the wrong way, but trying to point out there is a difference between "bugs" (actually none able to reproduce) in this build and Samsung released firmware. That's all. :cool:

I did make changes in build.prop from 12000000 to :

# Photo & video quality
ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap=8000000
ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps=8000000

Bravia Engine was removed and also it's build.prop, There are other build.prop edits that have nothing to do with video added.

You could try editing the build.prop and removing also Bravia Engine (be_movie and be_photo) from system/etc, and REBOOT

Else try download the final v2.1 release (yes, I know it's a large download). Factory reset and try again.

As I posted in the screenshots, v2.1 works fine (all I restored is MX Player after factory reset & flash)

.

.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mengpo:
Well, I guess the problem is not entirely from the hdmi but from the codecs (as I said, I might be the flv and mpg files which can cause this).

I'm goin to sleep right now but I'll give a try to wipe again the whole stuff and reinstall your latest build and try to figure what's wrong there ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Yes, it's the codecs, not a ROM "bug".

Just tested a .flv file and only get sound from stock Video Player, but can get both sound and picture on external display with MX Player (software decoding only)

I do notice Smart Stay app causes a "HDMI is not available..............." message when it polls and tab is idle on home screen etc. but this is to do with that app........

There are .flv players in the Market. Can't test because still no wifi
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mengpo:
;)

Ok so everything's fine :) sorry about saying that was a bug :/
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Ha, no problem, and sorry didn't mean to sound like take offense or anything. I was trying to "rack my brain" what your problem could be because I could not reproduce. :crying:

Pretty sure just need to add the codecs or install a supported Player

Have a good sleep and thanks again for the continued testing and support ! :D

Edit: Although this is really nothing to do with this build, I have added to FAQ & Help in Post #3 ;)

.

.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mengpo:
Don't worry, no offense taken ;)

Well, the codecs are the problem and nothing else, you're right :D

I could reproduce the problem but it's a know bug with some video files (mainly flv and mkv) on mx player and sometimes with bsplayer
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Away for a while.....

All SkyHigh ROM users, I will be away for a while, so any potential development will cease until I return.

I am unsure of the time-frame and in the meantime, I don't expect any ROM related issues, so please enjoy v2.1.

However, I will be checking into XDA regularly, so if you do have a ROM issue, please have a read thoroughly through Posts #1-3 before posting (and search the forum). If still no joy, I will do my best to assist. :)

Don't PM, please post in this thread becasue others reading might also be able to help too ;)

Anyone have tried the "EzyICS by Mengpo v1.1" Kernel? If I put on SkyHigh 2.1 I have self reboot..
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] LBN1:
Yes I tried, the kernel is not quite ready yet. I was able to boot and run it ok, but it was not as smooth as stock.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] THXWOW:
Thank you and one question

Thanks for the info...I'm going to try it.

Just one question first....Post 2 says:

How to Install :

1. Require CWM Recovery

Does this mean that I should not use "Universal ICS Root from Official Stock Recovery 3e"?

from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1849235

Is this compatible with this ROM?

Or I should only use "[I815/P6800/P6810] CWM Recovery 6.0.1.1 (08/12/12)"?

from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542897

Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] cosmicbb:
hello,

you can use both but personally i prefer 5.5.0.4 (more stable)

http://www.mediafire.com/?vvysv01uhaiynif

edit: flash with odin -> PDA
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] THXWOW:
Please clarify

"Universal ICS Root from Official Stock Recovery 3e"

from http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1849235

states "Your device will be rebooted and enjoy your rooted ICS. No cwm recovery"

Is it still OK to install this ROM this way without CWM?

Or should I forget that and just use Odin/Mobile Odin, etc.?...which, btw, I'm still looking for

Thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
As stated in post #2, it is a requirement to have a CWM recovery installed.

To have a CWM recovery, you need to root first. Edit: If you have questions about these processes, search first, and please post in the appropriate threads. Just follow the relevant guides and instructions.

The ROM it's packaged into a CWM recovery flashable zip. Just follow the instructions and notes step by step. :)

Read all posts 1-3 thoroughly before flashing. ;)

Then enjoy v2.1 :D

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Dragonn90:
Hi, i love your rom but can i disable the crt effect? (keeping the others animations)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Thanks.

It's a mod in the framework and can't be disabled by User without decompiling etc. Will make a CWM flashable zip when I return in a week or two (maybe).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] robt2379:
Hi

Have just installed your rom over an existing LPM rom.

Will report back once I've had a chance to use it for a while.

Thanks for all your hard work putting this together.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
No worries. :)

If any issues. Edit: backup and factory reset and don't restore system apps and data, as per instructions.

A nice clean setup has usually prevented many issues for me in the past ROMs and devices I've used.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] guisof:
Hello, excellent work that I really appreciate !

I applied the pimp my ROM on it, great.

Question : could you include rolletube in it ?

And some other stuff ?

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

Hello again, I forgot, I would like to do tethering with my blackberry phone via Bluetooth. On my GTab 8.9 this is a native feature, which I do not find in your ROM.

Also, I think that connecting my 7.7 in pure USB hard drive would be much better than MTP, would you be able to implement this as an option?

Thanks again
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Still away at work and desperately need some family time when I eventually return.

Not sure about the Bluetooth, but may well do a little research on some other when I have the time. ;)

Just 2 questions please, 1- I can not find any more the shortcut to DL and 2- do I need to Factory Reset comming from XXLPW?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] edan1979:

@ samaliset

As my post above,.... still uploading

Please read Posts #2 and #3 more carefully.....

Do you mean LPM ? If not my previous build, it is a retirement. Factory Reset will save a lot of issues, because I have none :cool:

Device doesn't take long to setup and restore User Apps and Data.

As I said, never restore System Apps and data!

Enjoy :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] samaliset:

Yes the ROm is the correct one as I just verified. it an update from HG 3.2 through Kies, some time ago.

One more question please, after installation of your ROM, and in case I needed to get back my Stock ROM is it possible by using CWM - Restore or I have to re-install it from scratch?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Yes.

Just nandroid backup with CWM and keep in a safe place off device.

Backup and Restore User apps with Titanium Backup Pro or similar app.
