Going to give it a whirl

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

Coming from stock ics, using twrp 2.3.1.1, I tried just system and cache wipes. Got stuck on the cm boot screen. After a few reboots.

Doing factory reset worked. Expect a black boot screen the first time

Used gapps 2011

Flashing on top of release 5 with only cache wipes works real well. Expect ablank boot screen. And, oh gapps was 21011.

Hey Guys, my I957 is back from Samsung and I'm back in business. Rooted, TWRP'd, CM10'd...but Android keyboard repeatedly force-closes..."'Unfortunately, android keyboard (AOSP) has stopped'

I tried both the 10.1 and 10.0 gapps from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps

Tried 10.1 first, then 10.0, same results.

Any advice appreciated.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] nrvate:
Yes, the cellular radio is functional :)

If you haven't installed the factory ICS update via ODIN (which would have installed the ATT ICS radio images as well), you should flash this too:

http://droid.arm.ee/957/atticsradios_flashable.zip

That is a TWRP-installable package that will flash the AMSS and MDM images (the two components of the radio software) from the ATT ICS update to your SGH-I957.

CM10 seems to play nicer with the ICS radio software. It appears to have resolved the sporadic failure of the radio to init, requiring a reboot. It's also faster to acquire a data connection.

This flashable zip should only be used on an ATT SGH-I957.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] hdrewh:
Hi Guys,

Spent the last couple hours tweaking and all is well, so I tried what I hope will be my last step for now...put in my AT&T SIM from my phone (Motorola Atrix) and rebooted. AT&T service found, signal is good, but all of this works *only* when WiFi is turned on. I turn off Wifi and the radio signal bars turn from blue to grey, and I lose internet connectivity.

Am I missing something obvious here?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] nrvate:
Sounds like you're getting signal but are not establishing an active data session.

Your APN settings are probably incorrect. Start by putting the SIM back in your Atrix, ensuring you have working cellular data... Then write down / screenshot your APN information and match it up on the tablet.

This image of CM10 has the default APN for ATT set to Broadband, as it should be for tablets. Phones usually use a different APN, and a SIM will only be allowed on the APNs it is authorized for.

Successfully updated by rebooting to cwm 6.0.1.4, perform backup, wiped data/cache, wiped dalvik, installed the radio flash zip file above, installed cm10 update 7, installed 0429 gapps and rebooted.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:merged+branch:jellybean,n,z

Update 6 was from the CM10 codebase on Nov 10 -- So Update 7 picks up any changes between Nov 10 and Dec 20.

Remember CM10 has been essentially feature complete for a while, so the vast majority of changes are "under the hood" or bugfixes.

Curious: Anyone try MTP via USB to a windoze machine with Update 7? Still borked?

Cheers! :)

Stable OC kernel.. Not that I am aware of. I had mildly modified some of the earlier kernels to run at 1.7ghz, but found the tradeoff between performance and battery life wasn't in the favor of overclocking... So the kernels (since update4 IIIRC) run at stock frequencies/voltages. Going beyond 1.7ghz requires some pretty extensive modifications, including redefining the voltage/frequency tables for both the CPU and GPU units.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Eun-Hjzjined:
An OC kernel would be nice, but I'm more interested in having incoming calling working.

If I'm not mistaken the Galaxy note and our tablet aren't much different from each other, so maybe you could hook up with someone from the note Dev section and get something hammered out.

External SD card question

Hi,

Is it correct that this ROM can't read external SD that's attached to the an adapter?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] nrvate:
Likely so. Most the proprietary hardware gadgets (HDMI dongle, USB/SD adapters, etc) don't seem to work with CM10 from what most people have indicated. I don't own any to try. I suspect Samsung has implemented various bits of custom code to support these devices, which of course is only present in the stock ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] roadster92:
Thanks nvrate !! I just want to confirm. I have the adapter with the SD card and it did not recognize the extra storage.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] the_hatrix:
That's not true. Install Stickmount and it will recognize it already, and if you use NTFS format then install Paragon NTFS as well then everything works.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] nrvate:

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] nrvate:
Someday. I tried building CM10.1 a few weeks ago, which is 4.2.1, and found it to be very buggy. If CM10.1 plays nicely with the i957 at some point, I'll post a build.

Otherwise, if you _really_ want to, building CM10.1 isn't much different than CM10, aside from the fact the p5att device tree has been dropped from the cm-10.1 branch (guess we can forget about official support for this device..) -- which means you'll have to yank it from the jellybean branch and chop it up.

You can bet on video/graphics issues, lockups, and general unexpected behavior.

Is there really anything compelling in 4.2?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
It's 4.2 it must be better!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] ssconceptz:
So why has no one at least compiled a CM9 version for this device? Having official 4.0.4 it should be fairly simple compared to 4.2.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] legacysl:
Well I would like to see jb 4.2 on the i957 but I doubt it as apparently it is very different from 4.1.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] ssconceptz:
Well the common sense approach here says to use what we currently have which is 4.0.4 and build CM9 for it. Then from there you would port that over to a CM10+.

Actually 4.1 to 4.2 wasn't a huge leap. ICS to JB was a bigger leap than the 4.1 to 4.2 leap.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] nrvate:
common sense, yes.. however.. consider this: CM9 source tree was considered final _before_ the first release of the official kernel dropped for ICS on the 957. So, the CM9 kernel doesn't play so nice with the 957. Yea, it boots.. but everything works and solid? heck no.

Also remember the official samsung ICS kernel will NOT work with CM9, or 10. CM uses the samsung-msm8660-common community kernel, not whatever source tree samsung is developing. It supports a range of samsung msm8660 (snapdragon S3) devices such as the skyrocket, note 1, celox, exhilarate, etc etc... The later samsung-msm8660-common community kernel with CM10 integrated most of Samsung's changes in mid 2012 for msm8660 devices, including stuff specific to various msm8660-based tablets, so it works much nicer on the 957.

Then there's also the proprietary adreno graphics drivers from qualcomm (no source, only binaries available) which add a whole additional quagmire to the mix. nasty stuff there indeed.

Honestly, I'm surprised how well CM10 works on this device without low-level hacks. There are a lot of intricacies that go into each device... :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] ssconceptz:
Do you have a CM10 base for this device or is there one out there?

about to go insane

Ok, HOW?? I've been trying for about a week to actually get a call to go through. I'm about to go insane because I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, yes, I did make plenty of mistakes but it's flashing a zip and new modem... it isn't that hard.

Wipe data

Wipe cache

Wipe Delv

Format System

Flash Rom

Flash Modem <-- that took a while to realize BTW.

Reboot

Viola, I think I've got it, but I get a message when I dial. "The call you are atttempting to place is not allowed on this line, please call customer service". I am doing it right if I'm hearing that... right?

I'm thinking I don't have the right data plan, AT&T pretty much thinks I'm crazy now talking about a tablet that can make phone calls.

Not that I know a ton about custom roms, but I'm very impressed with how long people waited for one like this and your guy's dedication to get it working, but I'm now on a mission to find my "Oh duh," moment. What important step am I missing?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Buscador:
First, let me say thank you for all the work that has gone into making CM10 on the SGH-i957 possible. I have just purchased a refurbished AT&T branded SGH-i957 that is still running Honeycomb. It is in factory original condition--I have made no modifications to it all, and have not even installed any apps or launched Kies while it was attached. I have only logged into my Google account. I am currently running CM10 (after trying CM10.1 and going back due to better performance with CM10) on my Nexus S, using TWRP for recovery, but installing that was easy. I would like to do the same on my SGH-i957 but want to be really sure I don't brick it. I have read through the posts on this thread and the TWRP thread, and I THINK I know pretty much what to do, but there are a few things I'm not 100% sure about, such as whether I should start by using Kies (or Odin) to update to ICS before doing anything else. It is possible that all of my uncertainties have already been covered, and I just missed them in the 60 or so pages I read through on these two threads in the last few hours. Would anyone be willing to list out step by step what should be done? I'm sure I'm not the only person this would help. Thanks. (If this has already been done and I somehow skimmed over it, just call me an idiot and point me at the post, please.)

Also, I know this may be a stupid question, but this will not remove the AT&T lock to where it can be used with other carriers, will it? I'll soon be moving out of the country and it would be nice to be able to use the cheap 3G available where I am going.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] GenuineDickies99:
Use an app on the market called GooManager. It will pull and flash TWRP for you and pretty seamlessly handles the CM10 flash as well. (Once the phone is rooted OFC)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] c-prodigo:
Just flash the modem, I flashed one from skyrocket, and set the apn wich is on first page, I can make and recieve calls, but only way of using it is with a headset.

Or just flash danno aokp Rom and has everything to just insert your att SIM restart and call, but same problem only headset.

http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=35078&cv=820&title=PDP and APN Types#fbid=TAuLXZH4rvy

What APN you use is dependent on how your SIM is provisioned. If you bought the SIM with a 957, you were sold a data-only LTE plan with no voice connectivity. The APN will be Broadband.

If you bought the SIM with a GSM/UMTS phone, your APN is PHONE.

If you bought the SIM with an LTE-enabled phone, your APN is PTA.

In all cases, the MCC/MNC is 310/410
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] GenuineDickies99:
And the Broadband APN isn't going to work for GSM call's is it? Hey, at least I can put this to bed. Muchos Gracias!

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] nrvate:
APNs are for data service -- not for voice calls. Enabling GSM voice calls on an AT&T SIM requires a calling plan.

AT&T doesn't want you to make voice calls with a tablet. They want you to buy a phone for that, so they can sell you yet another data plan for it, and a voice plan too. They're just going to tell you the tablet isn't a phone in various silly ways.

I'm not sure the best way to get AT&T to provision you a LTE+Voice SIM for a tablet, aside from simply using the SIM out of an LTE-enabled phone.

It all just seems like way much money and trouble when I can get VoIP service for a dollar a month and a cent a minute from a multitude of providers.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] GenuineDickies99:
Yeah, I figured near the end it wasn't a mistake I was making, it was the fact there had to be something wrong with the SIM. I called em up yesterday and told them I presently have voice and data through TMobile, if they would just activate the voice service on the SIM I'd dump the Tmobile and be 100% through them but they didn't want my money apparently. Anyhow, it's probably cheaper keeping them both. I get unlimited everything on Tmobile for $50, and am paying $30 a month to AT&T for just 3 Gigs of data for work... talk about an imbalance.....

Once again, thanks for straitening that out. I can go obsess over something else now. Cheers!

Oh, and FYI, wee bug report. I was in and out of the APN settings quite often and I was getting repeatedly FC'd from the APN settings. Prolly had to do with the changed permissions on the system folders so I could edit them, but who knows.

Certain widgets disappear after reboot

First off, great job to everyone helping out with this ROM, especially nrvate.

I have been having the same problem since I first installed the ROM. Certain widgets, specifically widgets for paid apps, will disappear after a reboot. Additionally, the widgets will not be available for selection after reboot, so I can't recreate the widget after reboot, unless I uninstall the specific app and then re-install it.

This is happening to me on HD Widgets, which obviously only has one purpose - providing awesome weather/clock/switch widgets. I noticed it on other paid apps as well, such as quick office pro 6 hd.

I assumed that the ASEC fix in release 4 would have fixed the issue, but alas it did not. I have just been living without the widgets, but it has become very frustrating.

Is there something else I am missing here? Some sort of permissions fix I need to apply?

If someone can help me out, let me know.

Recent steps taken to resolve (just the most successful test case so far)

Download release 7, att ics ril, danno gapps

Factory reset, wipe system, clear cache.

Install release 7.

Install gapps

clear cache and reboot

install hd widgets

create widget

reboot

widget is gone

On a side note, I many of the links to the CM wiki for latest gapps in this thread don't work. Finding the right version of gapps was very difficult for this ROM. Danno gapps from http://goo.im/devs/damantea/Gapps have given me the best luck so far.
