[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] AnttiV:
As I said, wasn't just for him, but others too. There's a couple of things to point out:

a) "you should never touch the build.prop in PA", that much I have gathered from the devs and such. Apparently The PA's Hybrid thingy doesn't really like users messing with that setting.

b) also, if he was asking for the easiest way to change everything like stock ICS, the correct reply would be: flash stock ICS. Second would be Settings -> PA -> Launch -> Tablet Mode. I don't know how editing build.prop would even remotely be considered easier than those.

c) If someone just wants a stock ICS experience, why flash something like PA? Better yet, if one just wants a simple DPI/mode change, why not JUST change the dpi in build.prop? Why install PA in the first place?

Also, the person I was replying to didn't really ask anything like you said.. maybe YOU should consider reading first? I replied to a post pointing out that changing the dpi would change the mode. I didn't reply to anyone asking for a "stock ICS experience". For sake of not needing to read through all posts, here's the quote I replied to:

And while you certainly CAN do it like that, it isn't the recommended way when using PA. I pointed that out.

EDIT: Also... "off-topic random rage"... ? Are you sure you quoted a correct post? Since I can't really understand why talking about ways to achieve things in PA rom would be "off-topic" in a PA-thread...? And I wouldn't really qualify my post as "random rage" for that matter...? I pointed out how that should be done according to guidelines/settings provided by the devs. And explained that PA is so much more than just changing build.prop dpi setting. I don't understand how you would qualify that as random rage.

MTP transfer

I noticed that transfering files to a computer via USB doesn't work. I think it is called MTP transfer? Has anyone seen this. This is with 2.50 build
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] JAYZE:
cheers bro! happy to know that :D

as for sir AnttiV and longice - i hope that our discussion here are for the benefit of all in a contructive way and no hard feeling at the end of the day..

i'm glad for all of your support and for keeping the development of our device alive

i bought my tab 7.7 three months ago and on day one if changed the fw from honeycomb to ics..i kept it that way for a long time because i want to experience stock firmwares first..but after getting a random softbrick i decided to use PA today..

i prefer tablet ui that is as close to stock as possible at the same time enjoy the improvement bought over by this firmware :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] edan1979:
you need to go to setting --> storage and find the mtp option...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] markadan:
Thanks that did the trick
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Steve_max:
If you have "the" eMMC superbrick, that will NOT help AT ALL. JTag will only void your warranty! It can NOT fix SuperBricked chips.

If you are really superbricked, you could try to "live with it" like this, or send it back under warranty. You can try to at least make it boot again once, install either CM10 or PA and run TriangleAway if you had your custom binary count above 0; then you flash stock, return it under warranty and claim it broke when you were formatting it through Kies.

From the experience during the first superbricks on the SII, JTag will not fix it AND will make it clear that a hardware repair was tried, voiding your warranty. Technically, you've voided your warranty as soon as you installed a custom recovery, but (IMHO) that's irrelevant. This is a serious hardware bug; fixing it is Samsung's responsability.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] JAYZE:
i agree with you..but i really disappointed with samsung's hardware issue for our tablet..had i known this problem i should have chosen other brand of tablet..
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Graz:
Love this ROM, and big thanks to the developer for putting this together...really, really appreciate the effort to bring JB to the 7.7.

I'm experiencing a game issue with 'We Rule'. The game will launch, but eventually sits at a completely black screen. The game sounds are there, but there's nothing on the screen. I've tried several full wipes & reinstalls of the ROM & GAPPS, but always end up with this result.

Not sure if there are any 'We Rule' players out there who can confirm this, or might know of a workaround. ~Thanks...

[Edit: This is on version 2.50]

anyone found that Chrome seems not stable in this rom (2.50)? a lot of the time it hangs and need to force close it
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] JAYZE:
hey guys do you know how to change the bluetooth mac address of this rom?

my dualshock controller is paired to my laptop's address so i changed that also on my stock ics fw so that i don't have to pair each time..

i followed the steps below on ics but is not working for PA 2.50 fw

1 force stopped and deleted data for the app "sharing with bluetooth" (translation from danish so i dont know if the name is correct)

2 froze "sharing with bluetooth" using titanium

3 change the mac adress in the files /efs/bluetooth/bt_addr and /efs/imei/bt.txt

4 In the folder /data/misc/bluetoothd/ theres a folder with same name as your bluetooth mac address move/rename/del that folder and change the mac address in the file named address (in /data/misc/bluetoothd

5 reboot and turn on bluetooth, after the reboot it took some time for my bluetooth to function again but this did it for me

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] d0nnie:
I wanted to ask if anyone have a good semi-begginers guide on how to go from stock/unrooted device to PA 2.50? I have been searching the forums and find divided information here and there but i am still worried that i may miss some steps specially when this post says in the begging:

"IF COMING FROM STOCK : Do NOT wipe anything, Flash the this rom directly, reboot recovery, then wipe data (factory reset), cache and dalvik, and then Re-Flash this Rom again. This will get you safe from brick."

Anyway, from what i gathered so far this would be the steps:

1. Download and install Odin3 v1.85 on my PC

2. With that install CWM Recovery 6.0.1.1 - > http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=882338

3. After that download PA 2.50 from this thread, put it on the SD card and install it on the device

Can anyone confirm/deny or correct those steps? It would be much appreciated as i don't want to brick my device. Did i get it right or am i totally off?

Thanks in advance,

Adrian
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] albert.mob:
thats right, you cannot install PA without castom recovery. I use CWM Recovery 6.0.1.1 all the time, hadnt have any problems with it till this moment. So your steps order is mentioned above is exactly right.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sobofthewind:
Hey there

I deeply understand you, because i was like you and i only have one tab, (no pc) so all my life is my tab and i didn't and don't want to brick it, so i compeletly understand anf feel your fear

Ok here we go: ODIN is a flashing tool, there are both pc version and android version available, for instance i have it on my tab

Using ODIN you FLASH CWM 6.0.1.1,

And then you go into the recovery mode..

As you know the rest of the drill, you choose: install zip file from sd card, choose the zip file and after a minute or two, it's installed

Then: you choose: wipe data, data is wiped... Then you wipe cache... Then you go into the advance/wipe dalvik cache... And then

You flash the rom again... So you flash the rom in the begining and the end of the process... (remember, falshing the rom, wiping, and flashing it again, you don't reboot the device.. When the second flashing is finished, then you're free to reboot

Ok if you've read this discussions you know you must change the boot. Img file inside the zip file of the rom, you change it, then you try to start the flashing process

Even if you do all those and install the rom and reboot it... You might see that the paranoid booting animation keeps blinking.. Don't worry, just turn your tab off/and on again... The rom will load so quick

And remember... In CWM mode before doing anything, create a back up of your current rom(just incase anything happened you'd have a back up)

And that is done by choosing Backup/restore and inside thet choose back up... And if anything happened or you weren't satisfoed with the rom, you go back into the cwm mode, choose restore, and wait (here don't wipe anything) .. When it's done, reboot the device, your current rom with no change will boot

And when you do it once and everything is safe, your fear will be gone... I installed PA 2.53 5 times and then went back to my ICS five times...

If it wasn't enough you can wait for other's answers...

Hope you'll be fine
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] d0nnie:
Let me begin by saying thanks for the help!

I do understand all those steps that u mentioned above with the exception of the bolded part. To be honest, i haven't red all 135 pages of this post and i hope u can forgive me for it :) ...Do u mean that i should change the boot.img file inside the PA 2.50 zip file BEFORE i install the PA rom? And if so what do i need to change within boot.img?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sobofthewind:
C'mon man be cool.. Everybody has been like that once.. No need to apologize for anything

Yes, you must change it before the installation..

You must have WINRAR on your pc... Then go to page 95 of this very discussion.. There's the boot. Img file link

You open the zip file you choose the file inside the zip file(no need to search for it, there are 2 folders and one file which is the boot.img) you delete that, you drag and drop the new boot.img file there, and it takes like 2 or 3 minutes because the WINRAR automatically creates a new zip file.. When it's done... You can set your foot forward

And please, if you want to thank, click on the thanks button..

And you're wellcome

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

And about your second question, i honestly didn't understand it..

Boot.img must be replaced in order to fix the bootloop problem, and it's an unopenable file, so i don't get it when you say "within boot.img"..

Just replace it, and you're done
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] JAYZE:
:eek: sir are you referring to the "pa_p6800-2.50-27OCT.2012-162746-TESTING.zip" that needs to have it's boot.img replaced?

i also did not backread further so i am not aware about this issue..

btw my installed 2.50 version is working correctly but i'm a bit worried that i missed something especially the boot.img

-i flashed the GAPPS also after flashing the PA zip file in case donnie forgot that
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] d0nnie:
Ok, i understand what u mean and i have downloaded the boot.img file from page 95. However, the download link for the PA 2.50 P6800 version seem to be broken: http://goo.im/devs/Androguide/Paranoid Android/P6800/pa_p6800-2.50-27OCT.2012-162746-TESTING.zip

Any other mirror for that file?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] JAYZE:
i suppose the latest 2.50-27OCT don't need to have it's boot.img replaced because i did not :laugh:

maybe they are referring to the OCT23 build

i flashed succesfully with no bootloops whatsoever..but i hope other members can confirm to be sure..

regarding the link, i was baffled too but you just have to remove %20..

it would be like this:

don't forget to flash the gaaps file
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] d0nnie:
Thanks for the link! However, now i am confused if i should or should not update the boot.img file within the 2.50 zip...

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------

Ok, i just checked another thing...the post about the boot.img file (page 95) is posted 24th october and this file that we are talking about is released AFTER that date, 27 october to be precise...Maybe they fixed the boot.img in the 27 oct release and that's why it does not need to be fixed anymore?

Can anyone confirm/deny the above?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
Yup, no need to replace the boot.img in the current v2.50, the right kernel is here out-of-the-box (otherwise the rom would simply not boot)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] d0nnie:
Just to answer my own question incase someone else is wondering. I unrar:ed the boot.img file from the 27oct release mentioned above and compared the size of it with the one from pager 95 in this post and they are EXACTLY the same size which means that the 27oct build already has this fix applied...so in conclusion, no need to update boot.img!

Anyway, thanks guys for clearing and helping me with this. I wont get my 7.7 until monday but i feel like i am morally ready for the PA upgrade already :)

New Hope... (Not Dead-Trigger^^)

Ok guys I'm rebuilding as we speak (v2.54) since I found out alanorth(cm10 maintainer for p62xx)'s github and he has updated our blobs, device trees and common tree a few days ago, as well as released a functional cm10 build on the 3rd of November (my builds were already having the trouble we know at this date).

So I grabbed his new sources and I'm hoping this will do the trick. I'm building only for p6800, I'll wait for feedbacks and if they're positive I'll build for p6810/i815/p6200/p6210

Let's get our fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] edan1979:
there is also a cm10 build on 7th november. you can see it on his goo.im files.. i'm currently using it...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sobofthewind:
Thanks man, we're all waiting

But could you please tell me: what is the reason that some apps (such as ICQ messenger) can not be installed on this rom AT ALL?

What exactly causes such problems?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
Oh ok that's nice if aorth has taken over cm10 maintaining for p68xx too, as locerra seems pretty busy lately.

This is good news anyway, makes it even more likely that this build will be "normal" (I'd have used aorth's sources since a while if I knew about this piece of information^^).

The build is uploading, give it at least 30minutes with my crappy bandwidth to finish uploading.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] bassem.mohsen:
I made a nandroid of my 2.22 version.

should i install gapps again after OTA update of your rom, should i wipe cache and dalvik?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
Yup you need to re-install the gapps, and to wipe dalvik and /cache

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the link for 2.54 (p6800) : http://tinyw.in/T2fS

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] AnttiV:
Same here, stuck at Samsung logo with 2.54. Flashed from 2.50 with dalvik/cache wipe. Flashed boot from my earlier backup with TWRP and it boots and some things seem to be working. I have 3G but WiFi is not turning on at all (same as last build).

Here's a screenie from my about screen, so you can see what versions of anything I have atm.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] hillzx:
+1 here
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
Ok then I'm downloading aorth's latest cm10 to get the boot.img and will re-upload with it included.

In the meantime, if one of you guys that already has downloaded aorth's cm10 can try to replace v2.54 boot.img with the one from cm10 and report back it would be nice.

Reboot
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
Yup exactly, waiting for your feedback ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] bassem.mohsen:
Look i installed his build directly from goo manger because i never tried it before, Didn't try to replace the boot image in your rom.

but i can tell you, I've Google nexus, and this thing is scrolling and animating the UI the same speed as Nexus.

hope after restoring my apps, i wouldn't be laggy or something.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] RipplingHurst:
Couldn't agree more! This thing is fast! Downloaded 2.54, but waiting on the new boot, no idea where's this Aaron guy's boot is :cyclops:. Maybe I should wait for the wifi fix too, but I'm cool.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] dothedyu:
Has anyone tried the i815 newest build v.2.52?

I get bootloop when installing over previous build and when i wipe everything and do a clean install, for some reason the touch screen doesn't work, only the hard power and volume keys. Weirdest thing ever.

Anyone experience this before or know a fix? Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] edan1979:
finish testing pa 2.54 with your boot.img = stuck at boot. dont even past the samsung logo... something must be wrong somewhere...

then using aorth boot.img from normal cm10 build. its working fine...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] wintermute000:
any changes to wifi?

thats my main bugbear with CM10 based builds: wifi flaky, and not sure if its related but I only get ~5 hours screen on battery, whereas with stock its easily 7+.

However its much smoother, less bloaty, and DPI213 suits me perfectly (esp with PA's ability to retain tablet UI! hate phablet love 213 DPI)

guys how can i change bluetooth mac address of this rom? i did it on stock ics but doesn't work for PA

and have you tried android 4.2 camera/photosphere on our device?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] paulikxp:
My experience with 2.54: booted up first time after restoring boot.img from 2.50. As with others, WiFi can't be enabled, 3G/phone signal is being shown, but no working connection possible. Baseband is being recognised correctly though.

After rebooting the Tab is stuck at the splash screen (Jelly Beans Andy, after brightness change)... Dalvik and cache wipe allow proper rebooting but no Wifi or working 3G. Rebooting leads to sticking at the splash screen again.

By the way: is there any way to install Syriah kernel?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] jaseli:
hi edan1979

glad to hear that 2.54 can work after replacing it with a new boot.img.

can you share with us where to find this CM10 build or the boot.img?

Hi All, Just installed 2.54 (with aorth boot.img) on top of v2.50. Reinstalled Gapps and everything worked perfectly ..no bootloops .

WiFi, 3G and GPS all work perfectly and so far everything else too.

Looks Good Andro'
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] golfinggino:
can you please advise the process for installing the aorth boot.img with 2.54 - thanks,
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] yasan:
open 2.54 zip folder (doesnt extract just open) copy and replace boot.img file its done
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] gazjglusk:
Use WinRAR on your PC (you can google for a portable version too). Open PA2.54 in winRAR ..delete the boot.img file, then drag in the new boot.img (downloaded from above). Close winRAR and use the new PA 2.54 (check it first in winRAR to make sure it worked.

Good Luck
