The latest 2.55 works like a charme, very smooth, I've set screen resolution back to the factory 160px and all is fine. Only GApps process crashes a lot and the play store doesn't work at all, seems I need need to go for a factory reset.But before I'll try to flash the 4.1 GApps package again.

Well, I got a major issue: Set WIFI to "always time out", but P6800 won't go into deep sleep then. Thought this was fixed a long time ago (v2.20)?

Any ideas? Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] block911:
WOW!!

Just went from Stock ICS to this build on m P6810 and everything works SMOOTHLY. I was going to give up my TAB 7.7 for a Nexus 7 but now I'm keeping the 7.7. Wifi, GPS everything works!!! I followed the instructions step by step on the first page where you flash, wipe cache , wipe data and then wipe dalvik then flash again. Next flashed the GAPPS and the tablet feels like a bigger nexus 7 now. Swype even works and the fonts are much easier to read on Firefox.

Only thing not working is HULU as it complains about missing DRM pieces (all AOSP roms have this issue I believe)

GREAT WORK.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] daniel_hk:
Sorry, I'm not quite follow.

I think you meant: You have some issues and you need to set WIFI to "always on", right?

What's your issue?

I have a report locally:

While downloading a large file with BT, it will stop when the tablet go to sleep. Even with WIFI set to always on.

Do you have the similar problem?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] wintermute000:
To all those on 2.55, whats the battery life like compared to stock?

Last I tried on 2.50 I was getting only ~4 hours or so of screen time compared to ~7-8 on Stock/stock based ROMs, which I understand was due to wifi drivers.

6810 2.55 wifi working?

Hi block911.

So we hear the first time for a 6810 (wifi-only!) that these recent builds are working!?!

Did you experienced any problems with wifi? Did you connected to some different wifi networks? I'm asking because I had problems, 2 of 3 networks connected for me, one (unfortunately my own at home) is tab is not able to connect.

Please report! (I'm exited to maybe try again that build.)

Are here other 6810 users, who can report their experiences?

Best regards,

GNUDroid
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] daniel_hk:
There are few things about wifi which are not yet supported:

1. 5g wifi

2. hidden ssid

3. wifi tethering

If you have 5g support on your router, make sure you have different ssid for 2.4g and only connect to 2.4g.

If your router use Mac Address filtering, please check the Mac Address again. One of my friend has similar problem and found that the Mac Address was changed (the last byte change from $aa to $2a) for some unknown reason.

That's all I can think of. Goodluck!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] edan1979:
i dont know hidden ssid status on 6810... but it working in my 6800
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] SPVlover:
Hi there. I am in p6800 usingParanoind everything except WiFi teathering is Wirkung.

No Problem using the 5g WiFi Form my fritzbox 7390.

Thanx, the tab is great with This ROM.

I've just flashed PA v.2.55 on my P6810, thanks to daniel_hk!Everything is seems to be O.K. so far, even GPS false locking reporting is repaired!Testing further, going to report if there is something weird.

My message to GNUDroid, try it!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] GNUDroid:
testing daniel_hk PA2.55 for 6810

Hi,

I tried again daniel_hk build. Now I did a full wipe of my 6810 because daniel (I always had been to lazy to install everything again). A new try now.

About the WIFI:

a) At least here at my university I have no problems; can connect. (But here I had never any problem)

b) I could not test my home wifi(*). Will do it in the evening.

My home wifi ist the critical point, on which some of the CM10 (loccerra) and some of the PA builds failed. The reason is unclear until now(*).

(*) still to be tested:

My router: Fritz!Box 7210 (latest firmware, DHCP, WPA2 (tired also just WPA), b+g (also tried just b and just g), tried different wifi-channels)

Strangely no other device (like several mobile phones) ever had problems with my wifi at home, but as mentioned some of the builds in the last month. - I will report today in the evening or tomorrow (europe).

But generally about this build:

Everything else of daniels_hk build seems to work rock solid. Thumbs up and many thanks to daniel_hk!!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sbalu:
Is there any mac filter on your wifi at home?Reported some case is accidentaly changed the mac adress of the device, after flashed.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] AcidDrid:
Reboot then crash?

Hi, I just installed 2.55. came from 2.50.

Did the Flash, wipe and then flash again.

Tab starts up, installed all programs i whant. all ok.

Then i got a Freeze, only way to get out of it was to hold down the powerbutton until it turnsoff, started it again and im in a bootloop.

I get to PM logo and then loop.

when i go back in to CWM and try to do the flash wipe and then flash again i just reboots when i try to do a Factoryreset och dalwik wipe.

and it still is just looping away.

Any thoughts?

Its a 6800 btw, before pm 2.5 i had Stock ICS.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sbalu:
Try flash a stock rom with odin, after that you may try PA again.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] AcidDrid:
Thanx mate, did that just after i posted, and Stock rom is Stuck at SAMSUNG logo.

But i whent into E3-Recovery (power+vol up) and was able to make a Factoryreset from there.

Now its alive, lets see if i can get 2.55 kicking again.

Thanx Sbalu.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sbalu:
With pleasure, mate!I was in the same boot later and I did the same and it helped me out.Try again its going to work!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] AcidDrid:
Yes, that did the trick. back and running.

All good. :)

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] jideay:
Another question... Does 2.55 work on the i815 with full functionality?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] GNUDroid:
hi. no, a mac filter is not activated.

after some testig, i must say the rom is great. and fast! the problem.with my home wifi. i.solved with an old old cm9(!) wifohotfix. a look into the zip file shows, tha the bin/wpa_suplicant is replaced. after that flash, i could connect.to my home wifi. ( must be something with the wpa2 passwort, i have no glew. but it worked)

stupid question, but how do i get the lock screen to switch from landscape to portrait when the tablet is in portrait orientation
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mf01mf01:
My English is not very good, so I lost the thread! Can you please summary?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] daniel_hk:
In Settings:

Display > Rotation

check Auto-rotate screen

the following will show:

check Include lock screen

the rotation modes are:

0 degree -> landscape with Samsung logo at the right

rotates counter clockwise, therefore

270 degrees -> portrait with Samsung logo at the bottom

when Auto-rotate not check, always at 0 degree.

Goodluck!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] pixelsquish:
duh. thanks!!!!! was really ticking me off. figured out how to customize the size of app by app but not that!

boy am i glad i installed this rom so far. the true test will be battery life.

my 2nd dumb question is you know in stock samsung rom, when you click bottom right of notification bar, you get nice menu to turn on and off all radios like BT, GPS, WIFI, Mobile Data, Auto Brightness, etc....? that was one great add on by Samsung UI. how do you get something like that back on PA?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] SPVlover:
Toggles

Settings/System

There u should find Notification Toggles.

Enable them.

Then u can choose in which order they appear, toggle style, and other settings.

Have fun customizing:)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sbalu:

Installing 2.55

Hi there! Is there any specific method to install ver. 2.55? thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] AcidDrid:
Hi.

Summary:

Flashed pm 2.55 from CWM.

Installed apps

Got a freeze, after reboot got bootloop

Whent into CWM, and tryed to do a factoryreset, dident work. Got reboot when factoryreset started

Used Odin from my PC to load stock rom/recovery ICS onto the Tab 7.7

Started and got to the Samsung loadscreen and there it stuck.

Whent into recovery, and did a factoryreset.

Started and i got ICS working.

Used Odin again and loaded CWM recovery

reboot to CWM and flashed pm 2.55

Wiped dalwik, cache and did a factoryreset

Flashed PM 2.55 again then flashed gapps

And now it works like a charm.

Recovery - power+volume up

Downloadmode - power+volume down (to Upload from Odin)

This worked for me, follow this on your own risk.

Thanx to Sbalu.

Sent from my pm 2.55 powered GT-6800.

with the latest 2.55 build i have NO Mac address (00:00:00...) on my 6800

it was ok on previous 2.55 build :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] pixelsquish:
thanks for the help. so far the only app that won't work is the Bank Of America app - says it is not compatible in the Play store.

very cool rom so far. will need a few days to figure out any bugs/quirks.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] jideay:
Any response?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] pixelsquish:
Pimp my Rom looks interesting but I'm wary that it tries to do so much and will just add bugginess over Paranoid.

What's the general consensus on using Pimp on Paranoid?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] edan1979:
imho... it dont need to add PmR... most of the modification is already there... will be conflicting with each other...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] pixelsquish:
that's what i am wary of.

anybdoy mess with the font? installed flip font but in Display options there is no option to change the font.

there is an option in another menu to make the font larger, but that's no good. the size is right, just need it more bold or be able to switch to a more bold font.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] pixelsquish:
so far with the latest 2.55 - 1 day in - used tab extensively, lost wifi connection twice. was solved by turning wifi off and on.

battery life seems better than stock, not by much, but GSAM battery monitor seems to show 'active' moments when screen shows off in graph more so than on stock. wifi is set to never sleep. sleep is set to set in after 30 seconds. i have even less stuff installed than on stock. only one google account syncing just mail and calendar. not sure what is keeping it active but GSAM shows something in the kernel.

Sorry, p6800 and P6810 only.

---------- Post added at 06:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 AM ----------

This is the funny thing that I've tried to figure out for a long time. When I upgrade from 2.2 to 2.5, My mac address changed. I notice it when I turn the Mac Addr. filtering on. That's one of the motivation for me to start building this rom.

I have study the updater-script very carefully. There is no way it will touch the efs partition where I think storing the mac addr.

We have over 200 installations of this rom in our local community. One report a change in the last byte of Mac addr. from $aa to $2a. That is one of the reason I started the Aroma version which even include wiping caches.

I'm quite interested. If you are from previous 2.55, I think the only step you'd done after flashing was wipe dalvik cache. Anything you might think of respond differently?

And, any suggestion from others?:confused:

As far as I can tell from reading pages of history in this thread, 2.50 is the most stable, 2.52/2.53 have/had issues, and someone has compiled a 2.55. I have a Verizon i815 on the way and want to try PA, and can choose from... 2.52, 2.14 or 2.10.

Does anyone know if the 2.52 issues affect the Verizon model?

Is there a 2.50/2.55 version for Verizon?

netflix plays HD movies great, but for some reason google play HD movies are certainly not looking HD with this ROM. they look like SD movies

is there a particular PA setting that works best with google play movies or is this another thing going on?

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

yeah google play movies just doesn't seem to think this is an HD capable tablet anymore. i've tried launching in phablet mode, tablet mode, forcing large screen for this app, playing around with sizes but when i go to download an HD movie, it comes in as around 400mb. that is SD, not HD.

there has to be some way to make google play movies know this is an HD device.

also every other pa rom i have run on the 7,7 or my note / nexus 7 / nexus 4 / asus infinity / i have always run pimp my rom - is it really going to cause problems running it on top of this dec 7th version of 2.55 ? thanks,

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] shaftenberg:
Just to clarify:

When I set my WIFI policy to "never", which means "turn off WIFI when display off", then the Tab doesn't enter deep sleep, it stays awake and drains battery fast.

The Tab enters deep sleep only with WIFI policy set to "always" - but I don't want this setting.

In 2.50 this works well, so I went back to 2.50

Maybe you want to look at it?

Hope I did explain this good enough... :)

But GPS works better in 2.55 - got 9 satellites there, in 2.50 only 5.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] daniel_hk:
OK, I got it now. If you set to "never" , it only turn off the wifi. But networking will continue via 3g and consume data usage. Data via 3g will drain a lot of power and heat up the battery. You may try turning off data as well.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] mf01mf01:
This is the latest from 2.55?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] shaftenberg:
Don't think you got it :D

If I turn off WIFI manually, 3G is used also but phone enters deep sleep!

If I don't turn off WIFI and set policy to "never", then phone doesn't enter deep sleep.

There is a difference in 2.50 and 2.55 - in 2.50 it just works as expected.

2.50: after 15mins WIFI shuts down, 3G is used and phone is idle with low battery consumption. This is not the case with 2.55...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] daniel_hk:
Thanks for correcting me!:p

My Tab has wifi connection issue on 2.50. Therefore I don't have any figure to compare.

I've tried your setting last night. wifi "never" up, 3g ON. I have IM+ and a few mailboxes online. I got a 20% drop on battery in 8hrs. Is your tab worse or better?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Eugene8310:
I turn on WiFi or 3G only when it needed and my p6800 works for days :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sbalu:
Nowadays mobil devices need permanent connectivity.I do not pay for mobil net, but use wifi permanently on.Lucily it has enough battery, no need to charge often and if I use it longer period, than I plug it on mains.

Has anyone tried the "more volume steps" hack with Paranoid Android? Unfortunately, it doesn't work with CM or stock ROMs... would be really awesome if PA could have a better volume control.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] edan1979:
Paranoid Android also based on CM... so it wont work...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] pixelsquish:
im guessing all the voltage controls from pimp my rom won't work on the tab 7.7 correct?

until samsung releases some code?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] shaftenberg:
Much better.

The problem is, i have WIFI hotspots (or whatever) in the neighbourhood which fire packets through the air, so the Tab doesn't go to sleep. I depend on the automatic switch to 3G in standby, otherwise I can watch the battery drop to zero in hours.

Well ok, seems I am the only one who is interested in that setting, but as 2.50 works for me, I'll stay at that and shut up :) Never mind.

[EDIT]

Attached a screenshot, with 3G ON and WIFI policy set to "never" (i.e. turn automatically off) I lost barely 1-2% battery in almost 8 hours. Sync is on, and the first hour I was listening to music while screen off. PA 2.50

To compare: with 2.55 and the same settings, I get a CPU usage between 1-3% all of the time as WIFI never shuts down and keeps the Tab from entering deep sleep.

You cannot do that with any other roms, you need the hybrid engine, framework mods and paprefs app that the Paranoid Team created.

REQUESTS

I just managed to compile PA v1.992 from sources for P6810. I need your help for two things :

1) In order to compile it for P6800 I need someone that owns this model and has the android sdk installed on his computer to contact me (pm or post here).

2) I don't have my tab atm, so I need a P6810 tester for the source-built version before releasing it. It's uploading right now, please pm me or post here.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Astrix Ashburn:
Yup P6800 with SDK/ADB. Will try what I can do :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
If any P6810 owner is willing to test this build and feedback that would be nice, thanks : http://www.mediafire.com/?o1b09ja29ftyn0a

Thanks man, forgot to mention you gotta run linux. Gotta check if the extract-files script works without downloading the sources, didn't try it.

Anyway you can try it, if you're on Linux (maybe cygwin or OSX will work, not sure), here what you should do :

Open a terminal window (ctrl+alt+T)

do the following :

mkdir ~/Paranoid
cd ~/Paranoid
mkdir device
cd device
mkdir p6800
mkdir smdk4210-tab

Download this archive and put it at the root of your home folder : http://www.mediafire.com/?gbztiq8bz2cul5h

Return to the terminal and issue the following :

cd ~
tar -C ~/Paranoid/device/p6800 -zxvf p6800.tar.gz
cd ~/Paranoid/device/p6800
chmod a+x extract-files

Make sure adb debugging is enabled on your tab

Connect your tab via usb to your computer

Go to Paranoid/device/p6800

Double clic extract-files and choose "Run in Terminal"

Let it do its job

Compress your Paranoid folder and upload it for me, and give me the link

Many Thanks

You're in Windoze, bro. Use Linux. Good intentions appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
Yeah obviously that wasn't gonna work. You can try to install Cygwin and do what I said in previous post, using Cygwin's installation folder as the root of your home folder.

But the easier way would be to download an disk image of ubuntu and make a bootable usb stick using UnetBootin.
