Had to slightly modify kernel file: drivers/net/wireless/bcmdhd_samsung/src/dhd/sys/dhd_custom_sec.c

in function dhd_check_rdwr_macaddr it defines char *nvfilepath with an ifdef, etc... I removed the ifdef as it didn't seem to apply and replaced nvfilepath like:

char *nvfilepath = "/efs/wifi/.nvmac.info";

Which points it to the proper location of the mac address info file on the EFS partition.

you'll need to rebuild the dhd.ko module, of course.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
So odd, my WiFi Mac matches /efs/WiFi/.Mac.info without making any changes

Edit:opps there it goes
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] ZX6Chris:
Good battery, some screen flicker when scrolling but nothing serious. Really enjoying this ROM. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
kernel was causing issues here, switched back to cyanogenmod for source and lost overclock, but gained alot more stability. changed a few more things, lovin the rom, I would call this a solid daily driver for me now
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] BTRL30NTM:
i want to flash this but im a noob , my tab is completely stock, no root, nothing, any one bother explaining to me breifly what i need to do, i have some flashing experience but with a captivate.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
Flash custom recovery via ODIN

Load AOKP zip onto your tablet

Flash ROM via recovery

This is extremely not in detail. I advise reading a lot of the other threads to get more information
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] BTRL30NTM:
Yes thanks , do i need to flash the da_Gs kernel to get root?or i dont need root? Which recovery do you recommend?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] BTRL30NTM:
Nvm i got it :) ! One last question do i wipe from recovery or just do the factory data reset from privacy options?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] BTRL30NTM:
Feels like a new tab! Thanks for the great work !! :D

I'm sorry for noob spamming this thread but i go to system settings and baseband is unknown ? WiFi works , I currently don't have a data plan , not a major problem to me since I only use it on WiFi, so do I need to flash a skyrocket modem? I was on stock firmware before flashing this . Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
My baseband is also unknown but I get reception just fine. I wouldn't worry about it.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] quasitime:
Thanks for the work in this Dan. Flashed it on a whim and it looks great. I get the android phone process stopping on bootup, does anyone else?

Would love to further improve performance. Currently using the Apex launcher.

Oh thanks :) jusu curious.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] ZX6Chris:
I've noticed on my skyrocket and now this tab that the gallery doesn't sync. I can't view any of my online albums. Is that just a JB issue or am I doing something wrong?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] ZX6Chris:
Found a jb gapps package that includes pic sync. Works on my phone. I'm gonna try it on this ROM next.

Edit: that doesn't work on this ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] quasitime:
Hmm. Reporting something else I noticed.

While charging the tab with power off, it started "rebooting: itself when the power reached 90% or so. The white charging icon would go away, and it would make reboot noises and the icon would come back. *Scratches head*
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] thasan:
Anyone try this on a i957M yet? I have that model and dying to try but want to see if anyone more experienced has already tried it.

Does it work on p7300?

Thanks. Ilove AOKP builds.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
charging while off is buggy with JB roms for this tab so far. my suggestion is to charge while on.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] ryan_or:
Hello! So I was able to get the custom jelly bean ROM on my i957R and it works great...everything's so much smoother than the stock honeycomb I had before....but two things....one the LTE isn't working....it keeps connecting between 3g and H+....I check the APN settings and there is an lterogers option and when I click it it tries to connect or something but gives right back to 3g or H+...I took a picture of the APN settings before I flashed and checked to see if the settings were wrong and it turns out some settings didn't match..I changed the apn name, apn type and changed the authentication type to none...still no lte connection...has anyone else had this issue? Also but not as important some apps I redownloaded didn't end up installing..an error came up in my notifications saying unable to install to SD card...anyone have that issue?

Other than that I want to say thank you for your amazing work...the performance difference is so noticeable..and its much appreciated what you're going :)

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

Okay so the in he APN settings it stays on the lte option (I rebooted) but it still says H+ in the notifications.the speeds are not LTE either so its not wrong...I read somewhere else in a similar situation that I my need to flash the modem?

Also with the apps not downloading could it be an issue with the sdcard not being accessible and and installing them somewhere else with very limited space?(only the late apps don't download)

grr, nevermind for now, damn thing thinks it has a keyboard attatched, won't let me sing in to start tablet, so we don't have a new build today
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] BTRL30NTM:
Lol, i got super excited then i see that it wont happen today. Aokp is my fav.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Eun-Hjzjined:
AOKP is my favourite as well. I gotta have toggles in my tray, and cm10 just doesn't cut it with the sliders, I needs the button toggles. More efficient, can cram more on there , and looks better.

I am on Windows 7 and the USB connect to tablet is still an issue, as described in the 1st post. I feel like this is a big issue for novice users like myself, because we will not be able to transfer files.

I have not tried adb on Windows 7. Perhaps if I have more time, I can give adb a try, but I am new so it may take a while.

The ROM I am specifically on is: aokp_p5att_unofficial_jb_10-06-12.zip

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] SamArdoise:

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] maestro12345:
I was able to flash the new oct.21 build. Thank you for the update. For the most part, it is working very nicely

One issue I noticed is that when I reboot my tablet, it gives me the following error message which wasn't there previously:

"Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped."

I did not see that error previously in the sept. 26 build.

Again, thank you for putting together these updates.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Itaintrite:
Same here. I factory reset and wiped system.

Btw, what an settings are you guys using to get att lte? I used broadband and only get h+ while cm10 got me 4g.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Eun-Hjzjined:
Loving it so far.

Thanks so much for the oc kernel and all the toys included.

CRT off is smooth as hell now, incoming calls work better than previous build and my network signal bumped up one bar overall as well.

Going to really kick the crap outa my CPU at 1944 and see what this thing can do.

And uber thanks for everything Dan. BTW, I'm still looking into vibration. Think the vibration drivers from the i717 would get it back up to full strength? Still only getting quick 10ms bursts.

couldn't install on usb storage or SD card

using 10-21 build.

I am getting this message on multiple apps when trying to install or update (restored app from titanium backup).

I have rebooted,cleared cache, reset factory, etc.

it only does with some apps not all.

tab has been sitting on shelf for months as with stock honeycomb it was pretty much useless.

This ROM makes it fly but this little quirk is frustrating me.

I must be doing it wrong... Been using 2.0.6 and thought I'd try AOKP. Flashed AOKP and gapps, nothing seems to work (lots of notices about services closing, like the keyboard) so I figure I missed a step but can't find it (yet)... Wiped caches and system before hand...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] TEKDZ:
fastest, smoothest

Flashed this yesterday and I have to say it's the fastest, smoothest ROM I've run yet (I've run just about everything here except for Danno's ICS ROM). Only one issue that I can point out so far and that's no AT&T LTE. I'm getting solid HSPA+ with an APN tweak. Anyone have a working apn for ATT LTE?

Otherwise solid, thanks for the work Danno!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] RipplingHurst:
I flashed it first, worked great, but no LTE (speedwise, I don't care about the proper logo). Then I flashed the latest i717 modem. It slowed to a crawl. Lots of freezes. No notification bar, system hang ups.

Flashed the rom again, cleared caches, still the same. Cleared data, cleared caches, flashed ROM again, and gapps. Still the same. I think the (wrong) modem is still there somewhere. I'll have to try another modem, but was there a stock modem for Jelly Bean, for THIS rom? Or was it included in the ROM?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Eun-Hjzjined:
Just a cosmetic problem, but when playing music the CRT off doesn't play. Either through idle timeout or manual off.

Edit: Bluetooth range seems very limited. I listen to music over bt stream at least six hours a night. Tab in back pocket, bluetooth headphones on head, and i set my tab down and walked away, maybe 10feet, and the stream dropped like a rock. Just tried this on 2.0.6 and have my range back. I left the tab in the living room and walked out to the road in front of my house. Thats at least 60 feet away, 5 walls and 2 doors, no issues.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] SamArdoise:
Installing the Rogers radio found in this or the other thread of Dan fixed my Tab. All other radios made my Tab crawl like yours.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] RipplingHurst:
I used a ucfl6-modem-moddem in the Danno Rom 2.0.6 thread an it fixed my tablet. Thanks all!

With fixed APN settings, I seem to be getting LTE speeds (no LTE icons). (BTW, my speeds dropped like a stone since I first got my i957 (and the Skyrocket, and then Note)...I had 50Mbps before, now it's down to 11-15Mbps...things can only get worse now with the iPhone 5 LTE.)

BTW, to whomever asked on the last page of comments, never heard of a 7.7 LTE. I'd love to see a Galaxy Note 7.7 LTE...I'd love it.

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

NO, HDMI doesn't work!

I went upstairs and got my charger and HDMI dongle. Plugged in, nothing. I got a 10.1 running CM10 in the car, plugged in, HDMI worked instantly.

I can't compile, so I can't install CM10 on the i957 untill they update their first post to one file, so...:laugh: Waiting on a solution here, or a single file rom for CM10 (hopefully CM10 would have HDMI working here too).

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] BTRL30NTM:
To install CM10, all you have to do is flash the latest zip (update 5) and GAPPS. Same procedure as this ROMs installation.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] RipplingHurst:
Oh thanks, I see now. I just saw the first post and got scared with the serious brick warnings and the language.

I might try that. Let me ask there if HDMI works first. Got to update my TWRP, currenlty it's 2.3.1.1, I need 2.3.1.4 for CM10.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] colbymulkey:
Development for this device was so slow out of the gate that I stopped following this forum for a while. When I checked back yesterday and saw this thread (and the CM10 thread), I was elated -- especially since Samsung hasn't even released ICS yet. (I'm a bit of an AOKP nut too; currently running it on four different Android devices.)

I've flashed the 10/21 build of this ROM, and everything seems stable... but I haven't been able to get cellular data to work.

I've added AT&T LTE APN settings -- labeled "ATT Broadband" before moving from my stock, rooted ROM -- to "Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names", and I've even modded "/system/etc/apns-conf.xml" (per nrvate's recommendations here), but I still can't seem to get it up and running.

When I am connected to wifi, in addition to a connected-to-wifi icon, I also get an AT&T HSPA+ icon in my status bar. When I disconnect, both icons disappear; replaced by a "No internet connection" alert. (I've attached a small screenshot to help illustrate.)

I have wiped and reflashed the ROM a few times; haven't been able to make much headway.

Anyone have any recommendations?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] TEKDZ:
I have been fooling with the mobile connection a good bit and have had some success. I changed the default APN from pta to Broadband and then went into mobile networks and did a search. Once ATT and TMobile popped up I select ATT then come back in and select Auto Choose. LTE or 4G in this case is then working great. It does drop back to hspa on reboot or if the tab sits idle for quite a while but a trip back in to mobile networks to repeat the above generally brings back the LTE connectivity. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] colbymulkey:
Check!

Check!

Check!

Walking through these steps yields the same results. You're on AT&T then, right? (Not Rogers?) If you are, did you sideload the AT&T Connection Manger?

Did you make any other network mods? What bout changes to "/system/etc/apns-conf.xml"? Or modem tweaks based on the CM10 thread?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] TEKDZ:
Yes, on AT&T. No other tweaks. I was on CM10 before this but I didn't make any modem tweaks. I'm not really sure where to see the modem version, but if you tell me I will let you know what modem i'm on as well.

My tab has been sitting all day, lost 4g, just went back to mobile networks, chose ATT and then Auto and 4G is back.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Covart:
I want to thank everyone in this thread, especially dan-htc, for the very helpful info.

I had gotten a free Tab 8.9 back in April and my wife decided to dump her iPad 2 about 3 months back and had been using the Tab ever since. Well, Honeycomb was probably the worst OS ever made and the tablet ran like crap with constant freezes and reboots. I knew hardware wise the tablet is good, so kept telling my wife to wait for the official ICS rollout on AT&T. As of late last month, I knew that was a pipe dream, but wanted to wait just in case we might get lucky. Well, my wife was ready to throw the tablet against the wall, so I rooted and installed this ROM and latest gapps tars. I should have done this many weeks ago! Wife feels like she has a new tablet and now I don't have to buy her that pos iPad mini.

So, thank you, thank you all. Cheers.

SGH-i957

Hey I flashed this on my AT&T SGH-i957 with no success. Not sure if I am doing something wrong but the ROM loads up but is pretty eratic. It randomly shuts down and is super choppy. Just info I'm sure happy with my ICS build so don't fret. Let me know if I you can assist in getting this working as I love AOKP.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] st0nez0r:
I couldn't either.

I had no APN set, and when I added an APN and "saved" it, the save didn't stick, hence no settings stuck. So, mobile data wouldn't work.

I switched back to the other rom which works great tbh. I'll check back on this one after it gets updated.

Scary red swagga monster

Hi! I've been playing with this ROM for a few days, and I love it!

Can anyone tell me what the red squiggle is in the notification area panel? It doesn't seem to do anything when I toggle it, but if I press and hold it I get a message on the screen that says Swagga Baby! I'd like to know this is a safe ROM for browsing and entering passwords, etc., so I get nervous that no one else in this thread has mentioned it yet.

Thanks,

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] maestro12345:
I have been using this ROM for about a week. It is sleek and I like the ROM control. In general, it works well. But it is evident that it is not polished. Periodically, it will just reboot for no reason. If the battery is fully charged and stays charged, there are oddly times that it will just shut down the tablet. Adobe Flash does not work on the browser, but I think that is for all Android JellyBeans. I do not know if this is just AOKP or ROM, but I do wish it was more stable.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] BTRL30NTM:
Odd, flash works on all of my JB roms. I agree this rom is not polished but it has so much potential.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Eun-Hjzjined:
I really think dans next released version should clear up a lot of the reboots and stuff. He's a good dev and we are all lucky to have him, or wed just have cm10... on that note.

Dan? Can we have a flashable zip of the oc kernel you are using? I'd so much like to test it with nrvates cm10.

The only reason I'm not on your aokp right now, is that I need the alarm and notification sounds to work. I use my tab for an alarm clock, and email machine for my business among other things.

If these aren't fixed, no biggie, I'll just keep using your ICS ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] phil_white99:
Hi stonezor,

I didn't understand why people were having problems getting AT&T service on this ROM since it worked great for me on the first flash of the ROM. I did delete some of the APN's so that I'd only have the Broadband one, and it always defaults to HSPA on reboot (I use the Phone Info app from the market to get it back to LTE), but it's worth the little bit of trouble for the jellybean beauty, to me.

Then, I reflashed just to make sure I hadn't corrupted the install with all of my playing around. After this flash the default APNs were gone completely and I couldn't add any. So, clearly, the second flash did not put everything in the right place even though it was from the exact same zip file as the first time I did it. So, I flashed again and the APNs are back and working perfectly again.

So, I'd say, flash again! It will probably fix whatever was wrong on the first try.

Good luck!

Phil

I noticed the kernel changed , is there a reason for that ? Lag is almost gone too, feels great :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] st0nez0r:
Have not tested it myself yet, as the kernal was the biggest issue. Last build had no governor built in or performance options.

If you can confirm there are performance options now, i think i might just make the switch.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] BTRL30NTM:
Last build had a lot of performance tweaks, like 10 governors and a lot of schedulers and you could OC but in today's build the kernel feels more like a stock kernel though its working great I want to know why Dan chose this kernel over the other one that gave us more tweaking options.
