Another "me too" post, WiFi not working. I cleared cache & rebooted, still no luck. Cleared cache, cleared Dalvik cache & reboot, still not working. Cleared cache, factory reset, cleared Dalvik, still no WiFi.

Then rebooted into recovery, wiped cache/Dalvik, factory reset, wiped System, wiped Data, and reinstalled 2.53 clean. No WiFi. Fixed permissions, still no WiFi.

In conclusion, WiFi is borked in this build. Can't think of anything else to try since I can't get past the setup screen due to no WiFi. It just hangs there.

Maybe it's worth installing 2.23 then a dirty install of 2.53 with fix permissions and clear cache/Dalvik.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] RipplingHurst:
Btw, after flashing, mine does show version 2.53.

Also, on 2.53, mobile data settings gives me an error at anythung I do.

Also important, in Phablet mode, the menu buttons on the status bar (back, home, apps) are too small, the size of the one in tablet mode. That doesn't happen in 2.50.

Why when updating to ANY version of Paranoid Android, it is stuck on V2.20 in the settings menu even though I've updated to several newer builds after.

Is is possible I'm STILL on V2.20 even though I just flashed V2.53?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] JAYZE:
i would like to flash version 2.50 but the link is down..can you please reupload? thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] AnttiV:
Yet another "me too". Unlocked International P6800. Have used PA for the last few versions, now up to 2.50 with everything working (had to use 2.20 boot to get tab to boot on 2.50, otherwise no probs.)

Flashing to 2.53 goes well, but no wireless data connection works on that. No WiFi, no 3G, no GPRS/EDGE. WiFi just won't turn on, no matter what I try. And can't even try mobile data,because APN settings doesn't open (or opens but crashes instantly, I don't know). I came from 2.50 with wiped dalvik/cache (the same as I always do with incremental updates). There is something seriously wrong with this build... ohwell, back to 2.50. Good thing I do backups... :)

Ok, so I am not the only one.

Falling back to 2.50...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] JAYZE:
did you flashed using the file on first page? i want to use 2.50 and any additional heads up will be very helpful for me..unfortunately the link for the zip is down
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] AnttiV:
My Tab's version number changes accordingly to the build I flash, so I suspect you're still - somehow - stuck on V2.20. What recovery are you using? Are you sure you do the flashing "for real" and not in some kind of "simulated" mode? (I remember seeing a switch like that in some recovery, which would only simulate flashing and not really do anything.)

---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

I flashed the file I got from goomanager. But! I wouldn't start, just stayed at the bootscreen for ages. The I read somewhere that the boot.img for 2.50 is borked. So I did a selective restore with boot only from my 2.20 backup, wiped dalvik/cache and rebooted. Everything seems to be working just fine.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] kanej2006:
I'm flashing in recovery mode using Clockwork Recovery...

There's a font installer in the market, you can choose one, and apply what ever fonts you like.

BTW, I don't like original font on JB, it's too slim for our moderate pixel density device.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] gazjglusk:
Hi kanej2006,

I use CWM 6.0.1.1 and after flashing it showed V2.53. Maybe you could re flash CWM 6011 from Odin (perhaps a problem there)

Also have you tried a totally CLEAN flash of V2.53

Good Luck
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] AnttiV:
Does CWM have some kind of simulation mode? I don't remember it having that, so I highly doubt it... I really don't know why you are having these probs.. Tried flashing anything else? Stock HC for instance, see if it flashes correctly at all? Just take a backup before :)

I've been using TWRP for as long as I've been using PA, it's more convenient to be able to do most updates straight from goomanager. And I like more how TWRP looks and feels than CWM :)

EDIT: Oh, yes, what version of CWM do you have? I remember some version having probs with our P6800...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] kanej2006:
Thanks gazjglusk. I too am using CWM 6.0.1.1.

I did not attempt a clean flash of V2.53. I'm too lazy to reinstall all the apps, Go Launcher & setup, change, customize & configure everything all over again.

I ONLY do so if necessary, if I really need to. The last thing I want to do is a full wipe/factory reset.

Do you have any recommendation? It seems I'm still stuck with V2.20 even though I also installed V2.23, V2.50 & just yesterday I installed the latest V2.53.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] JAYZE:
thanks..hope that the author will reupload 2.50 with proper boot.img so that i can try PA.

i'm using stock ICS firmware but got softbrick by just deleting something in my contacts..it's ridiculous i know
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] AnttiV:
Laziness and flashing don't really walk hand-in-hand :) Using custom roms and highly experimental firmwares usually requires us to do full wipes. If you are so adverse to wiping, I'd suggest staying at stock. No offense, but that really is the case.

Anyway, I suggest taking a full backup, then trying to flash something "completely" different, say, stock HC, or CM9 and see if that flashes. If it does, go back to your backup and maybe try flashing that 2.5 again, see if it works.

If it DOESN'T... well, then there is something terribly wrong with either your tab and/or the recovery. What I'd suggest then is to reflash recovery and/or complete rom via odin and see what happens then. (If you flash only recovery from odin, then try to flash rom again via recovery.)

OR, try another recovery, such as TWRP. It doesn't have all the options of CWM, but it does have open API (so can flash straight from goomanager) and of course touch, no need to vol +/- and power buttons :)

EDIT: Once you do that backup, I'd suggest copying that over to a computer. Because then, no matter what you wipe or flash, as long as you have a working microSD and a working recovery, you're only few minutes away from what you have now.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] gazjglusk:
Firstly, I think we forget about V2.53 at present.

If you Re-Flash CWM 6011 from Odin, it is NOT going to harm anything and if there is some problem with your flashing process, it might fix it.

Make sure you have the latest (it was changed once or twice) PA v2.50 testing,dated 27 October (NOT 2.52) from Goo.im. Re-download if necessary.

Then retry flashing v2.50.

If you have to do a clean install, do a Titanium Backup first, then after flashing v2.50 go to PLAY , reinstall Titanium and then restore everything from Titanium ...saves a bit of hassle.

Of course do a CWM first of v2.20, so you can back if necessary.

Have FUN !! Cheers Gary

This is all I can think of. ..will keep thinking

Jayze and Kane, I just tried downloading v2.50 and it started perfectly.

From my memory I think when I installed v2.50, it got stuck at boot animation, I killed POWER, and then it rebooted fine since.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] nutley:
I've tried going to 2.53 from 2.20 and also do not have any wireless or GSM connectivity.

The wireless says the MAC address is unavailable so i assume its the driver (if thats how android works) or something similar. Is it possible to pull these parts out of my 2.20 nandroid?

No luck here with 2.53 (from goo.im) on a P6810. I get stuck at the Samsung boot screen... happens even if I do a complete wipe.

Anyone able to get 2.53 to boot on P6810?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] gazjglusk:
Hi, I always use this link from the very bottom of Androguide's signature ..".http://goo.im/rss/Androguide" ..then choose the file you want.

ie pa_p6800-2.50-27OCT.2012-162746-TESTING.zip ..which is same as you. I just tried again and it started perfectly again.

Good Luck Cheers

Edit: Yes this is the build I am using with no problems
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] JAYZE:
pardon my another n00b question..i can flash this ROM from stock ICS right? and can i flash the latest GAPPS eventhough i use version 2.50?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] gazjglusk:
I am not sure if you can flash on top of Stock ICS ..I have always done a new clean install.

If you do a CWM backup of your stock ICS, and a flash on top does not work then you can go back ..restore ICS.

Yes you can flash latest Gapps on V2.50
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] JAYZE:
thanks but i'm a bit confused :confused: .the original post says that

"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.''

may i know what firmware you have before trying PA rom
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] zykozz:
Is 2.53 working for anyone??

i usually flash my phone with ease but i'm a bit nervous when it comes to this piece of pricey hardware
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] gazjglusk:
hi, ok do what the original post says.....BUT do CWM backup first, so you can go back if need be. (i have a backup of stock ICS Hong Kong version, that i did on 8 Sept).

It is just me, but I like to do a clean install every now and then

Edit: Don't worry Jayze ....I got stuck a couple of times and with the help of everyone here, fixed all no problem.

Cheers Gary.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] kanej2006:
Cheers once again gazjglusk, will give the above a try later on this evening after work.

Should I get any news I'll let you know.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------

@ gazjglusk, I managed to update to V2.53 as everybody else. However, I'm getting similar problems & more.

WiFi indeed is not working despite several reboots. Camera does not work at all. Sim card does not work too.

Hopefully this can be sorted in V2.54 or whatever may be the next update.

I did the update via goo manager as you mentioned.

guys i successfully flash 2.50 but i'm a bit overwhelmed..what is the best settings including dpi for our tablet? i would like to change it all to tablet mode but i don't know what to put in DPI settings
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] gazjglusk:
This is the FUN part !!

Having followed this thread for a long time, it really is personal preference, --> it becomes trial and error.

There is so many things you can change...almost too many !!

All I change is ParanoidAndroid Settings --> Interface --> first three to 'Phablet Mode" and status bar to 213.

Then in Settings -->System-->font Size to Large

BUT these are my personal preferences after much playing.

Go To it with much rebooting. Enjoy It, Have fun and don't curse too much !!!

Cheers Gary
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] JAYZE:
thanks again..i'm freaking out given the amount of things that i can change and the increased number of ways i can mess up :fingers-crossed:

are you satisfied with phablet mode? i would like to make it look like the stock ics though
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] gazjglusk:
Ha Ha, i can't remember what ICS looks like.

I also use Nova Launcher and that has its own group of settings.

Just set aside hours and hours and play until you like it. I guess that's what Andro' has in mind.

Yes I like Phablet, but lots of guys like Tablet. It's up to you.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] JAYZE:
thank you for still being supportive despite my many questions ;)

changing display settings will not affect my installed apps right and restoring settings to default will fix any problems right?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] iOStoAndroid:
Can you please, please, pretty please fix the on android on screen buttons please.

They are not accurate mapped

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] gazjglusk:
I am guessing you are not quite as old as I am (63 !). You can fix anything with a bit of patience and tenacity.

Yes if a setting doesn't work, change it back.

I am not sure where you live, but I am in Australia and it is nearly midnight ..my bedtime.

So again Have Fun and i will check tomorrow. :good::good:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] longice:
This is kinda like changing the resolution on your PC.

You could use the implemented Paranoid Settings.

Or you could enter Play Store and look for Build Prop Editor (there are a few versions, I prefer JRummy's). When installed, open and press the menu button, open tweaks. On LCD density, set it to 160 for regular tablet mode. That's a safe bet. 213 is standard on PA.

I've seen someone experiencing issues with installing apps when using custom DPI's. However I've not seen any such issues on 213 or 160.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] AnttiV:
Note: Not for you alone, but yours was just the easiest to quote.

In a word: NO. This is exactly what Paranoid Android is there for. In PA, DPI has absolutely nothing to do with Phone/Phablet/Tablet modes. You can have your DPI at 120 and still run in Phone mode, if you so wish. Or turn the crack up to 280dpi and set it to Tablet mode, your call.

DPI is there ONLY for what it should: relative size or things. It does NOT change any modes as far as I'm away when using PA. That's the beauty and as far as I know, the point of it all.

There's another set of settings in the Settings -> PA -> Interface. You can individually set Workspace, Systems apps and User Apps default modes to any of phone/phablet/tablet as you wish. Workspace changes the "UI" as you see it around the device. Then there is the separate Apps page where you can set DPI and/or Mode, individually for each app regardless of each other. You can, if you so desire, to change the default UI to Phablet, 200dpi and at the same time have Play Store at 180dpi and Tablet mode, all the while keeping a third app at 220dpi and Phone mode.

As far as I'm aware, THAT is the sole point of PA's existence in the first place.

tl;dr: mode does not depend on dpi when using PA, set it individually to whatever you like in the settings.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] GOF007:
Dont edit build prop to change DPI, just use Paranoid Setting to change it. This way you will have no problem with play store as play store will always see your device as default dpi while other app including the system itself will work on paranoid hybrid engine for your customized DPI setting.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] JAYZE:
good to hear that, i'll be using tablet mode with 231 dpi for now..

i may not be as old [23 :)] but i'm starting to lose my patience sometimes..

we both have close timezone coz i'm here in the philippines..have a good sleep and thanks again

thanks sir for the tips..after speed reading i found out that tablet normally use 160 and 213 for nexus 7..i guess i gave to change dpi on paranoid settings since i also learned that some broke their phone by manually editing build props. :D

sir when you say default dpi - it's the one set on paranoid settings too? or a fixed value stored in build.prop?

thanks for the detailed explanation btw.. i learned a lot eventhough i had only flashed PA a while ago
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
This exactly word for word what I would have answered :good:

Do NOT ever change build.prop dpi in PA, you'll mess it up. PAprefs are here for you.

If you need to change the size of your navbar (which isn't in the interface section), simply go to apps and change the dpi of SystemUI (big red jellybean icon)

You want Tablet UI mode ? The dpi doesn't matter, simply go to Settings/Paranoid Prefs/Launch and choose a Tablet Mode, then reboot and change whichever dpi's you want in paprefs, your system will stay in tablet mode.

This is exactly the same thing for Phone and Phablet modes.

If you're having trouble understanding how paprefs should be used, I really recommend you guys read this guide : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32543633

edan1979, i'm one of those who had the bootloop issue after flashing the Paranoid Android ROMs. I resolved the issue by flashing your Nexus 7 like boot image. as i prefer to have a portrait boot animation, i'd tried flashing your boot image above to Paranoid Android v2.50 unfortunately i had the bootloop issue again. it's not a big deal, but would just like to share with you. thks!

Androguide.fr i would definitely want to use v2.53 since it has been reported to be faster than the previous ROMs, unfortunately i can't as I'm a heavy wifi user. looking forward to your update, many thks :good:!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] kanej2006:
Same here inflames. V2.53 is indeed faster although it lacks 3G, Wifi, Data, sim card & the fact it's stuck in Landscape mode.

It's a step ahead & hopefully the next build will fix the current problems.

I'm currently on V2.50.

Let me concur:

In this highly smooth rom:

-Sometimes there are tiny lags

-Wifi doesn't work

-3G doesn't work (same as 2.52)

-it doesn't feel simcards at all like they don't exist (in 2.52 i got an SMS, but couldn't send one or even make phone calls, but in 2.53 there's no connections at all)

-rotation doesn't work... As our friend says it's stuck in Landscape mode; however, opening some apps such as "phone," it rotates to Portrait mode... And then again get's stuck in that position too

-there are some force close errors working in Setting.. (i can't exactly emember when or where they happened)

-Gallery doesn't have Setting!!!

-Xenoamp (the amazing audio player which is revolutionary) get's force close error

-ICQ Messenger (Honest to god if it wasn't deeply essential to me i wouldn't have mentioned it here) CAN NOT be installed at all...

I really need all these to be fixed... Please do something about them

2.53 - P6800 - WiFi is dead. :cowboy:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] longice:
Hold your horses now, silly boys. No wonder there is war with people like you. Our friend was asking what was the easiest way to have real tablet mode back, he wasn't asking for your off topic random rage. Next time read before you type. The easiest way to have everything like stock ICS, IS TO CHANGE DPI in build prop. Then you may do whatever you want in PA settings regardless of if you change dpi.

My experience with setting workspace in PA settings is that it never does as good a job as a build prop change. Because it simply doesn't apply to everything and most of all not new apps.

So if one - like me - just want a good ROM that looks like stock Android, and want a tablet set up, I still belive the build prop edit is the best choice. In earlier PA versions, it was a pain in the ass getting rid of that ugly phablet desktop... Maybe it's better now, but I haven't seen any point of changing a method that workspace for me to achieve what I want.

And just so you know: I know the power of PA. It's just not why everyone chooses this ROM.
