Hi, the auto backlighting doesnt work at all! Please, could anyone try if its working for them?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ealax:
You need to appy the fix for FC from the first post in order to avoid freeze
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] spyroledragon:
Auto backlight works for me...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] laser21:
Thanks for the info. its interesting though. I flashed this rom 4 times even went to total stock inbetween and the autobacklight never worked...

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] de3pkeeper:
You might try P7300ZSKK2_P7300ZZHKK2_TGY (Hong Kong) as a 3.2 stock starting point. It includes a bootloader and may fix your issue.

Then you flash this 4.0.4 one on top of it.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Toniki:
Hi,

just installed and seems to work fine but I have one question: before installing this ROM I did a Backup with CWM. Can I restore that Backup to have all the apps again or do I need to install everything from the beginning ?

Thank you

Antoni
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ridsa:
Use titanium backup for backup and restore app. Restore from CWM will wipe your device and back to the last OS your backup. Coz CWM is backup the OS+app.

Installed Tracid's ICS4+radio+FC patch from Overcome8.9+Motley's ... works great and so far no FC, nor battery drain !

Maybe I won't even OC it !

Thanks (+donate) to Tracid.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
I want do the same as the steps U did for my Tab.. Im a bit lost w/so much overwealming info, patches, files.. etc

CouldU post links where to get the FC patch, Motley's & whatever else U used so I know where 2get the right files from? Thanks much!!:)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ym58:
@VeEuzUKY

Please see post#1 of this thread, everything is there !

Tracid's ROM install is really a piece of cake (make sure you use correct CWM, though)

FYI, Motley is not a valid Kernel for this ICS4.0 build.

I was simply saying that I installed ICS Tracid ROM (+patch+radio)

FROM

my Overcome8.9(HC3.2)+Motley'sKernel (make sure you clear all caches data/dalvik etc ...)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
Ah OK! I thought maybe you had gotten extra files from other sources.Thanks again for the info:)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Here-I-Come:
Just installed it from honeycomb,initial impression is much smoother than 3.2,both camera works.Would try phone call later.

Thanks tracid

Sorry for my noobish question here, but i am just wondering if the phonecall mod would work on my i957.

Sent from: SGH-i957r or EOS nightly MZ604
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tracid:
I doubt so. Your device is LTE as far as I know, so has a different modem. You need to flash the modem from I9103 in order to be able to initiate voice calls. The framework modifications themselves are not enough.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ridsa:
So can i flash this ROM without using A1 Karnel ?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tracid:
Yes, the use of A1 kernel is optional.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ym58:
Yes !

I personaly have flashed Tracid ROM+FC-patch+Radio-patch WITHOUT flashing the A1-KERNEL (I had a Motley Kernel, not even a stock Kernel !)

The Kernel is needed only if you want to OC your tab or recharge it thru the USB port (slowly ;).

Moreover, the A1-Kernel may be prone to virtual (not real) battery drain that may require you to proceed with a battery REcalibration.

---

Try Tracid ROM WITHOUT the A1-Kernel first, and if you're satisfied with ICS responsiveness (as I am) then you may forget about OC your tab !

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] aitmanga:
I was having battery issues with the P7500 port, so last weekend I installed this ROM+FC Fix and so far it's been great.

As of now, I don't see the need to OC so I wont install the A1 Kernel, but I'll keep it in mind if I ever see the tab struggling with some app or game.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ym58:
The more people satisfied with this ROM, the more we should THANK and/or DONATE ... don't you think ?

Can anyone confirm that this is not working
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] dainese01:
Thanks so much for this rom. I've tried pretty much all of them. And this one is as snappy as the other ics ones. And a bit more complete. I'm impressed with the speed. I expected it to be a bit slow... (because Samsung bloat etc)

Anyone else getting a message: new sim inserted and makes you restart the system?'

------

My battery has been good so far, well. It goes into deep sleep. Try better battery stats, and cpu spy for diagnosis

That flat spot is when I was sleeping last night about 7 hours.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ym58:
Got this message only when I inserted a SIM card for the first time as I wanted to test if the tab was running properly on mobile network (so far, I had been using it only on WiFi).

So, I restarted the system as instructed and ... my mobile network got immediately recognized.

Made a few mobile data tests, then let the SIM card in the tab and disabled mobile data to switch back to WiFi.

Since then, have made a few reboots, never got the message again (SIM is still in but mobile data is OFF)

This behavior sounds consistent to me ...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] laser21:
Yes, I get the restart notification once in a while, but I guess I found the probelm.

It was happening even with the 7500 ported ICS, so its related to ICS, not this rom specifically. Ics cant handle losing contact with the simcard even for a fraction of a second, honeycomb didnt care. The simcard has a little play - space to move around in ist bay. Basically I folded a tiny piece of paper to fill out the gap between the simcard and the cover of the bay, so it cant slide out even 0,5mm. Since then it seems there are no problems... only 3 days passed, so Fingers crossed!

share your experience!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ridsa:
thanks for the reply, now i install this ROM on my Tab 8.9 and the result is GOOD ! will test it for a couple days :laugh: :laugh:

Wifi Good, 3G/HDSPA Good, Camera Good !!

I am using now the A1 kernel and works good, however I sometimes get the message of "shell has been granted root access" and makes my tablet unusable for a few seconds, anyone experience this? what is it running?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] stevb:
Doesn't the motley kernel work only on android 3.2? (I have a p7300, on the motley's kernel thread is written that it doesn't work, is it right?)

I am experiencing the same problem, but no idea on how to solve it. I would be grateful if someone could help us to figure out to what is due.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] dainese01:
Yeah, that sounds fine. Mine did it about 4 times last night within a few hours.

This morning again. But funnily at work (in Sydney) it didn't do it.

When I got home it did it once. (Maybe localised to an issue at home?)

Hmm. Good to hear it didn't happen again... but, I don't know, its quite tight in there already. Thanks anyway, may try later
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ridsa:

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ym58:
Well, strangely enough, I was on Overcome(HC3.2)+Motley_Kernel (my tab was OC@1400Mhz), then I simply flashed Tracid ROM + patches and now the Kernel version states :

3.1.10-1074500

se.infra@SEP-117 #2

SMP PREEMPT Fri Sep 7 17:17:32 KST 2012

I am a bit confused now ...

But what I am sure of is :

#1 that I haven't flashed any other Kernel since Motley's

#2 that my tab now works faster and better (with no FC) with Tracid ROM and here-above stated Kernel !!!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ym58:
Do, do !

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] villain_allain:
Im loving this rom and finally I got to run ICS on Galaxy Tab 8.9 3G.

There's only one problem that I need and hope someone can help me out.

I installed Viber using APK. Im a heavy viber user but the problem is it hangs quite often like every 20mins.

I needed to reboot with force the tablet to restart again.

Hopefully someone will teach me how to fix this. Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] fred_be9300:
this Rom includes new kernel. Your motley kernel has been overwritten

Make sure you have the latest Viber. There has been q broken release recently, that crashed (on my phone)

Also install my FC fix mentioned by Tracid in post #1. It prevents system hang when an app crashes

the CWM by kallit kafee in front page...it's supposed to be 6.0.0.8, but after I installed in my tab it's not 6.0.0.8 but 6.0.1.0 instead...

will that CWM version brick my tab?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tracid:
No, it won't brick your tab. Only 6.0.1.2 does.

Thank you in advance :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] prince93:
Yes it does. but only English layout is supported as a default
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
I have to say I have bad luck with this ROM. Ive tried several re-install attempts but the problems remain the same.

- Any random app not working or problem, I get a screen dimmed and a freeze I can never get out of till I force reset the power button. Basically any app does not respond, my whole system crashes.

- Phone? No way.. did all the right steps, modem, voice call mod.. only takes me to touch the phone icon, and there we go, system freeze and long-press power button to hard-reboot the system...

- Basic stuff like installing Ad-away to get rid of ads.. when updating the hosts file tells me "I ran out of space in the partition"

The list just goes on..its an endless nightmare for me.. been doing this for years on multiple devices and never encountered suck a dilemma. I tried the 4.11 beta ROM from another developer and actually I have none of these problems what so ever.. unfortunately the ROM is so buggy and incomplete, its just unusable..

Anway, overall this Tab is a through disappointment.. HoneyComb does work but all sucks and aside from that, no luck..
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tracid:
Your app get's forced closed. The screen is frozen cause you didn't apply the fix linked in the first post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30492956&postcount=8

After this, you will be able to know why you apps force close.

Just delete a bloatware from /system/app/ and you will have space. I've already mentioned a few safe-to-delete .apk names in an earlier post.

Anything else?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
Tracid, I have realized a major culprit that is giving me problems and that I have never experienced on another ROM; changing the DPI. I want run this at 200 or 210DPI, easier on eyes and like a big phone (just like my original Galaxy Tab 7 and also on the 8.9 Tab using a beta JellyBean 4.11 (but unfortunately still too buggy to be acceptable for every day use). But I realize with this, anything above 160DPI kills 1/2 the native apps including phone, contacts, camera for example. 160DPI is absurdly low and its all misplaces and ridiculous small on the screen. I dont understand why on a JellyBean Beta build DPI does not affect native apps and with ICS, basically the system becomes unusable.. this pretty much kills it for me right here..

An off topic question. In India Samsung Galaxy TAB 730 is available in India. But is that the model no of 7300 or any other. Will this ROM works

What are the bugs in it .. Is it smooth and crisp.. ? Whats the battery life??
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] cashif:
Yes, it is one and the same. I bought it from flipkart and the number was mentioned as P730;)

Battery life is amazing and I easily get 3 days usage with screen-on time of 6+hrs. Yes, I am using this ROM and even the voice call works without any glitch.

However, if you are into flashing ROMs (as I am), you will be disappointed because there is not much development and the biggest drawback is, I think Samsung has discontinued the Tab and even the ICS upgrade looks doubtful!

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] fred_be9300:
How long have you been using that ported ICS Rom?

And if longer than 2 weeks, can you described in as much detail as possible how you charge the tab? (only for the period that you have that Rom installed)

E.g. do you charge very often (always before dropping under 50% ?? Do you always charge with tablet on or off? Has the tablet ever turned itself off as a result of reaching empty battery?

Have you noticed your battery behaving strangely on this Rom?

All these questions are because a lot of people have had battery issue on that Rom and a few related ones, and we are looking for pattern or causality as to what triggers those issues. Someone using this Rom with no issue, may help us find the trigger (or exclude some hypotheses)

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ealax:
I just moved recently to this rom and i used since the beginning the ported by kk, i never experienced such a thing as a battery drain, i moved because i wanted to try this rom and get fixed the compas and MHL

I did charge several times with battery full, low, half all posible combinations. I only used the original charger and a few times the car charger only 1A.

I stayed whith this rom for 2 month and I had a lot of problems with battery: I charged the tablet with it turned off and some hours after it was completlyy discharged...so I wipe battery stats and charge completly the tab (I always charge the tab off with original charger), and I wait for rechaging it since it is neraly completly discharged, but sometimes the bug come out again.... I use the tablet just sometimes so i charged it neraly 10 times....

After struggling a lot with the different versions of apktool I finally manage to modify successfully the framework-res.apk and enable the sip calls (Internet calls). Would be nice if you add this to this ROM. For me this ROM is the more stable, fast like hell, bug free and superb features.

I came back from CM10 mainly because HDMI is rotated and I use it, and also because of the problem for incoming calls that is not working there.

I guess you already know who to modify this file but in case you dont, let me know.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tracid:
Feel free to attach your framework-res.apk and I'll link to it :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ealax:
This is a zip from the framework-res.apk I compiled, try it first and then add it to the new version of this ROM

Other users if you want to enable Internet calls without flashing a full ROM:

option 1 (Root Explorer)

1. Backup in your computer /system/framework/framework-res.apk, with Root Explorer send it to /sdcard and then move it to your PC

2. unzip this file and get the modified framework-res.apk

3. copy this file with Root Explorer and replace /system/framework/framework-res.apk (dont forget to enable r/w on system)

4. reboot

option 2 (adb)

1. put your tab into CMW

2. mount /system

3. Backup with adb

4. Overwrite your framework file from the dir of the unziped file on your pc

5. Reboot

PS: maybe tracid can make a flashable ZIP from this :D
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] kosmepe:
Well, after having tried most of the ROMS on this forum, I can clearly say that this ROM, especially with the kernel of AAccount (1.7.3) is the best ROM for our tablet... It supports practically everything; I will try now the solution of ealax about the Internet calls.... and if this also works I don't think I could find a better solution :fingers-crossed:

By the way, this ROM with AAccount's 1.73 kernel gives Short Bench in SetCPU 88-90 while the CM10 ROM with the standard kernel gives 130.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] fred_be9300:
Odd as AAccount has said that 1.7.4 is for cm10 only... (I thought general advice is to use 1.7.3 with stock ICS). Anyway, he has a thread of his own where this topic fits better.

Hi ealax,

Can please also answer my question posted above?

(Do I also need to use the modem I9103XXLQ3 for this to work? Or it's independent? )

I tried your solution without changing the modem, I set up everything but I am getting "Server error occurred. Please try later"

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tracid:
You shouldn't need the I9103XXLQ3 modem for internet calls.

But pay attention setting up your SIP account.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ealax:
I suggest you to install the modem, since it enables the calls on your phone (both incoming and outgoing).

About the SIP account, it is a bit tricky how to set it up. It depends on your provider. Have you been using another program for SIP voices? It took me a while to figure it out that the important things for my provider were

username

password

server

authorization user name (under optional settings)

display name can be whatever

another trick is that when I lose connection to the server or it doesnt work I click the check [Receive incoming calls] on and off and I see a status on my SIP account as working again.

I hope this helps
