Hi guys

i've just installed cyanogen mod 10 and it looks as standard that it comes with a toggle widget (wifi,bt,gps,sync,bright) but i cannot see anyway to customise it. I have been using widgetsoid on a previous rom. I'm not interested in using the notification area and prefer a widget on my home screen. Any ideas on how to change things ?

Thanks

EDIT 11th May 2013

May be, just maybe Samsung listenened and JB 4.2.1 is here

It took a year for this to happen, which is not good enough for a premium tablet.

Sadly, I don't have this tablet (or any tablet al all), but I maintain no more Samsung for me at least for now.

I hope those who do, enjoy the enhancred performance that Project Butter brings.

INITIAL POST BELOW:

According to a list released by Samsung, the 7.7 is NOT getting a JB update.

If that's true, this is the last Samsung Android device I will have bought.

Disappointed
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] abuihsan:
Yea dissapointed too, big question is why?! Are they preparing android 5.0 for this tab??
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Yeah what's up with that? :(

If no JB so far why would we expect Key Lime Pie on or tab at all
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] genjo_sanzo:
Now that would be very disappointing! Why the 7 plus getting JB and not the 7.7? If samsung is reading this, you gonna need to re-think why the 7.7 is excluded from JB!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] guashi:
Ahhrg!

The only thing that a HATE (:mad:) in Android is the fact that is the manufactorers who choose if you gonna get the last version of Android or not.

I have a LG Optimus Black and the Galaxy Tab 7.7

I´m on 2.3.4 Gingerbread in OB (no prevision to take ICS)

And now I receive this notice that my Tab will not get Jelly Bean!!

you can imagine how frustrated I am!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] xrayA4T:
Disappointed too. Do you think it its related to the European ban?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] dskhas:
We can post all our dissapoiment in SAMSUNG facebook wall writing

DON'T FORGET US, WE WANT JELLY BEAM FOR GALAXY 7.7 OR I'LL CHANGE MY TAB FOR AN IPAD
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] esoh:
As someone who's on the Verizon 7.7 and still on HC, I'm more than disappointed.

I have a feeling that Samsung looks at sales numbers and sees how many 7.7's there are on the market (not many), and then does a cost-benefit analysis that shows that the cost of having developers put time into 7.7 JB development is a waste of money. And it's really their fault that this thing isn't more ubiquitious since it's a great piece of technology, but for whatever reason, they didn't price it aggressively enough and this is where they ended up.

Hopefully we'll have some decent JB ROMs, but at this point, I'm still waiting for ICS.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kenkiller:
All we can do it put our disappointment into action - make your next tablet a Nexus, 3G/4G be damned. :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TonyBigs:
I'm on Verizon, too. There should always be a provision to install a stock Android version so if the Touch-wiz modidifcations stop coming at least one could try to update to next Android.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] murmur70:
I am perfectly happy with ICS on my Tab. I only count on one upgrade per device. That is alll I have ever gotten on my Samsung and Motorola devices.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] vauxhallastra:
We should make our voice heard, because there is no reason for our tab to miss this update.

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

I've emailed Samsung CEO about this lol. We need to show our anger at this decision.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] fobas001:
I dont know if its good or bad not to have JB, anyway it lags, ICS on galaxy s2, s3 works really smoothly but not on this tab... So if we could get JB and it will lag, whats the point?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sos_sifou:
the last ics update is crap full of weird bugs, wifi for exemple, anyone can use his tab without wifi? stupid question and Samsung don't have the answer!

if jelly bean will bring such bugs (of ics) better keep my lagy, microscopic text,... Honeycomb till the last day of this tablet ^_^

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] inflamess:
REALLY?

really? .... time to buy a galaxy tab 2... damn our hardware is so much better
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Slipurson:
I use my tab 7.7 with and without WiFi every day without problem ranging EDGE to H+ in reception, not sure about how the modem/baseband fairs in other countries but here in sweden with both Telia Sonera and Comviq/Tele2 it works well.

No lag for me (except with certain thrid party widgets sometimes), been testing a couple of JellyBean ROMS on it and tbh it doesnt make my 7.7 fly or print money or anything like that so i dont really see why, appart from the looks, anyone NEEDS JB except the fact that it looks cooler and that everyone think they need the latest and the greatest for their device... just to let 2 days pass after the update and start screaming about samung sucking "cuz i aint gettin mah kay lame phie"... teah the tab cost quite a few bucks, but it works pretty well as it is.. and if one doesnt like it.. sell it to someone that might like/love it and buy some other "better" brand and start to whine about that one not getting each and every update :)

That said, i am quite surprised Samsung didnt announce JB for the 7.7, and also the list didnt have more than 4-5 models some month ago, who says that 7.7 wont be added to the list next week/month.. but then again i dont think this model has sold enough for Samsung to spend the money on the update.. yet, plus they have a bunch of new models they want ppl to buy.. :p

Also if you reeeeeally want JB, just root and throw in a custom rom, sitting on this forum its not hard to find a guide on how to do it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] DakiX:
This is really bad from Samsung Tablet premium class not to participate with the official Jelly Bean but others such as GT2 Plus and has a lower hardware and the display. It is a shame but not bad because there are alternatives, such as PA, CM10 or my Nexness PRO and all: 4.1.1 :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sos_sifou:
thanks god we've got some rich developers who own this piece of technology :)

Ps : just kidding, i am also a poor student, but i doesn't matter, cause i really like my big investment :)

Galaxy Tab 7.7
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] vauxhallastra:
I personnaly don't want any custom roms. I want the official stock roms. So this annoys me a bit, as I'm sure jellybean on the 7.7 would get a bit more out of our 7.7's
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sos_sifou:
No sir, the point isn't crying about new updates, the point is, did we paid for this to let it run stone age operating system? why in the hell a 5 years old iphone still receive updates and i don't? do you think apple charged their customers more than Samsung did?

to be honest, i was happier with my old (sold) gt p1000 running gingerbread, on this one am waiting for a Samsung human developer to do something about the text size! (because honestly i don't think they used humans to test this before pushing it to the market) not those of xda, they aren't paid for that, and no body should blame them because they are doing us a favor for sharing their work with us. Samsung developers are paid to satisfy my needs, why should I give them a rest?

No sir, if my device is able to run the latest operating system in the market, so i want it, and i want it now.

if they are willing to ignore our expensive devices, ill sell it and get something else (Microsoft maybe?) note that I may lose some bucks, but Samsung may lose the market :)

as for the wifi, if it wasn't so important, why would I pay 6 times for a simple Kindle ebook reader, at least this one does exactly what it supposed to do without updates :P

I need to read from the net, that why i need my wifi working on ICS, and then on jelly bean.

and then i want a phablet dpi, i don't care about tablet UI, and if others do, Samsung can add a dual UI, Tablet and Phablet (that what android is, choices)

best regards

Galaxy Tab 7.7
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] skeeterpro:
One hopes that the Superbrick bug in ICS is not propagated into JB though. If JB assists with some sort of solution then THAT alone would be reason enough to upgrade!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UpInTheAir:
SB bug happened during flashing between different android builds (ie. HC to ICS etc) after factory reset in CWM. YES, lets hope there's no concern between ICS and JB......

And also the exynos exploit..... Currently only workaround is a patched kernel or app.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UrbanConquest:
It better be 4.2 Jelly Bean and not 4.1. Here's hoping this actually becomes a reality 1st quarter this year.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bassem.mohsen:
In your dreams :P

There's no Samsung device has 4.2, so your abandoned device won't get first.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UrbanConquest:
Yea, its a long shot for sure. At this point 4.2 would be a proper update considering how old 4.1 is..therefore, yes, we can dream.

I guess there's always CyanogenMod 10.1 if all else disappoints.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jerverg:
Don't hate on Samsung. Just the fact that we're getting 4.1 JB on our P6800 alone is enough proof that our device isn't abandoned. That would be the 2nd update for our device, which is really great, having in mind this device was announced and released Q4 2011. Meaning, in future purchases we can at least expect to use them for two years (or more if we want to).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ThE_SoUrCe:
they should start supporting our 7.7, this is the closest (screen size) contender to the copy cat mini (yeah right apple will not make anything smaller than 9.7" lol). well, our 7.7 will be years older than the Mini yet it specs wise, this is far superior.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] lehongwang:
wahahaha, 7.7 will get 4.1, I almost gave away the tab to my friend, but not now, haha
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] edan1979:
giving it out to your friend...??? better give it up to locerra/aorth so they can test the build... better for development... hehehe... but yeah its a true story... both of them porting the firmware without having the actual device...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bassem.mohsen:
people hate Samsung for not releasing resources that's important for community development.

beside, i don't like the way they mess with the code, mess with the device, that's not a pure android experience on the tab.

this tab is very expensive one, and so far they delayed us to be the last who gets the update, and this even 4.1 not 4.1.2 even and you will not get premium suite.

so yes, Samsung makes a great chipsets but they like a box, they want you to use it with their own sw only
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jerverg:
Funny thing you put 'pure Android experience' with 'Premium Suite' together in a sentence. Premium Suite is made by Samsung, thus will never be part of 'pure android experience' for what it's worth. I actually prefer the Galaxy Tab 7.7's 'mini apps' that I can hover anywhere in the screen than the premium suite's 'multi-window' as you can only use 2 apps side by side with that while on mini apps, I can spawn as much as I want. They just need to put more mini apps and make them resizeable to make it better. The only thing I hate with Touchwiz is their laggy Launcher, which is replaceable without any root btw (HTC Sense won't be disabled, thus still use up RAM even if you replace it with, say, Nova when not rooted). Those extra features they put are actually helpful. You can uninstall them anyway if you don't like them through root. ICS is actually fine with me, just a few lags I have experienced with playing games and surfing net. Just want JB for the constant 60fps. Then I'm fine with this gorgeous tablet for another 2 years.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bassem.mohsen:
first, lower the heat a little, it doesn't worth it :D

when i mentioned 'premium suite' i was referring to G Note I (which has same hw specs), which almost released in same year and still getting 'premium suite'

that's where you now that's you abandond.

system UI, in the notification and nav bar isn't easily replaceable, maybe themed, but not replaceable.

at least for my knowledge.

I'm using Nova launcher and happy with it currently.

the tablet hw is awsome, and that's what made me prefer it on Nexus 7.

if i will choose between pure android and sammy's modified stuff, i will choose pure android.

that' my opinion, and i respect yours whatever it was.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jerverg:
No heat at all. Just want to state the fact that among manufacturers today, Samsung does its job a lot better than the others (HTC and LG, etc.). Well, you should understand that the reason some phones don't get update is because of hardware limitations. Even so, I have to state that my Galaxy Y Pro was updated by Samsung to an improved version of Gingerbread. A single update for such a cheap phone is not needed but it is more than welcome. About the 'Premium Suite', it would be awesome if we can receive the 4.1.2 as well, but if they decide on giving us just the 4.1.1, I would be more than happy with that as there would be hardly noticeable difference for me as the improvements were for the camera (I barely use) and notification toggles, Smart Stay. All I am craving for is the Project Butter, having Google Now too is a welcome.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rjohmit:
I'll believe it when I download the update that won't install.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] johnstgo:
Just got jelly bean on one of my tabs.

I'm thrill but why I can get it on my other tab?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ngoonee:
I think you're in the wrong sub-forum... you're using a Tab 2 7.0 not a Tab 7.7.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bassem.mohsen:
you comparing Samsung to other OEMs, no doubt that samsaung is one of the most coolest OEMs out there.

but what i'm saying, is that all OEMs should be upstream and close as possible to google's AOSP, and preload their sw perks and customization like premium suite without messing out with linux kernel and android framework and platform like this.

my dream is that you buy a tablet , and you are free to put any sw you want on top of it (Ubuntu, sailfish, android, .. etc)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jerverg:
Now there. I couldn't agree with you more. But that would be far fetched, for now or maybe for forever. As all these manufacturers have the mindset of keeping their consumers just for themselves alone. It's business after all. Good thing there are Nexuses. For me though, Google needs to stop putting 'budget friendliness above all else' mindset aside, and start creating Nexus devices with all the best hardware available. So Nexus devices would feel the most premium of all Android there is then start competing with OEMs altogether.

I've had my P6800 on HC and been pulling my hair out waiting and waiting for an ICS update via Kies (proper noob btw, para to do a diy)

Got so disillusioned with Sammy's 'wait another 2 months' email response time and time again so yesterday I went to a mobile shop here in Lithuania and got a JB 4.1.1 upgrade done for a tenner.

F** me what an improvement on laggy HC !!!

Just wanted to share my wide oled grin ))

Even if it does at least devs will have the fully-functioning JB source, for the 7.7, from Sammy to build a ROM off of and give it full tablet capability.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
Problem is that there aren't any daily driver ports of CM10 for the 7.7, and I seriously doubt there will ever be. Sure, 4.2 is better than 4.1 but 4.1 is a big step over 4.0. 4.0 seems like just a beta release now.

Firmly in the believe it when I see it on my tab category

I'm firmly in the "I'll believe it when I see it on my i815 tab" category.

I want JB on my i815, but given the ridiculous wait to get ICS on it and also given how badly VZW seems to have handled getting a working update into the hands of their customers, I wouldn't hold my breath and hold back on any purchase of any competing products (looks in general direction of iPad mini) because of any rumors that I might eventually see JB on my i815.

I like my tab, but am also frustrated by its handling by both the manufacturer and the carrier. It really does make me think seriously of just getting myself a mini and crunching on some more Apple goodness.

Well, the lack of JB and the lack of an Amazon Instant Video app both. (Not to mention a Vudu app for the i815 as well.)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Re: No Jelly Bean goodness for Galaxy Tab 7.7

A lot of VZW owners share your pain but all of this could and can be avoided buy purchasing a non-carrier tab, just saying :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] terpfan1980:
I understand that approach and had previously done that myself, choosing to just take along an Mi-Fi device so I could use any tab/device I wanted with it. I could still pretty much do that and save some $$ to boot since my Galaxy S3 will happily act as a hot spot for several devices, but... there's something to be said for having a tablet that is always on the net on a nice, fast, LTE connection. With few exceptions, no matter where I am, I can whip out my tab and be browsing the net and not have to do any additional work, pull out any other gadgets, flip any settings on said gadgets, etc. Just sit down and start browsing.

Heck, I'd probably just go with a nice CM build if not for the fact that using those used to mean not being able to get LTE performance out of the device.

Don't get me wrong, I loathe VZW and the games they play with all of these devices. I wish there was a serious competitor for both VZW and AT&T that offered *reliable* unlimited cellular broadband service. (I had to insert that word "reliable" back there since T-Mo and Sprint's networks are pathetic in many areas of the U.S. of A.)

On the plus side though, I was lucky enough to buy my i815 from a co-worker that gave me an awesome price on it, the charge for having that account on my family's family share VZW plan is dirt cheap and again, I can get on the net virtually anywhere I want within the U.S. So, I put up with the issues, ***** about 'em a little here and there, and wait for updates. < sigh >
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Re: No Jelly Bean goodness for Galaxy Tab 7.7

I understand your frustration and I guess LTE is a highly sought after service but I have found that my international tab running on Straight Talk (ATT Network) is pretty fast enough for standard Web browsing and Netflix streaming, I don't think I could ever put up with what VZW owners put up with :) I am sure a CM rom with LTE would be possible IF the developers really tried but then again I am sure not many i815 are available and not worth them trying to add that option. I have decided not to go with any custom roms anymore because they are not 100% reliable, I didn't spend over $600 and to then have an incomplete rom on it with missing fixtures :) again to each their own :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] skeeterpro:
I agree JB would be quite nice on this glorious tab. And I also tend to agree with the position of "I'll believe it when I see it". Those on VZW know that VZW is almost as slow as Samsung releasing updates.

Let's face it. Despite the superb tablet we all own, it's possibly fast approaching EOL morphing into an orphan. Not to say it's useless but even with the "vague notifications" on various websites nothing tangible as reliably been found. Samsung appears to be the manufacturer who throws so many variations/configurations on the tablet profile and waits to see which "catches on". Whatcha bet the SGS3 is going to be in the same boat now that the SGS4 is just around the corner?

iPad Mini? Have played with it for a time and agree it's a nice piece of kit. Snappy and solid. When/if it is released with their "retina display" it might come close to the overall quality of the 7.7. But that remains to be seen. If one is locked into the Apple environment and wishes a 7 inch tab it is viable (at best average) IMHO. Very overpriced though. If it were around $230-$250 then it would be reasonable.

If JB never shows? Well, then I have a tab that is snappy, well-built, running ICS that has a magnificent display. I'll use and enjoy it for what it is.:good:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jtskier11:
God I hope we get the official JB. Then hopefully that will kick some new development into gear. Even if it doesnt I would still be happy.

Jumping to conclusions

Much as I am hoping for the best, I am not so sure this is the news we are all waiting for.

I am an expatriate living in Thailand. My partner is Thai and he's reasonably technical. He owns a Galaxy S3 and an 8.9" tablet. I showed him that status table from the Samsung web page that many people are speculating about (and that Sammobile is also speculating about). I did not show him the Google translation that you are pinning your hopes on. But I asked him what the status for the 7.7 means.

He said that the wording was poorly chosen and could be interpreted many ways. In other words, a fluent Thai reader could not look at that status message and walk away with certainty about Samsung's plans. It could mean anything from "confirmed" to "to be confirmed." (The latter possibly meaning that Samsung HQ has not yet determined a decision.)

We can tell you that Thailand users did receive an OTA update for the Galaxy S3 in the past couple of weeks. So the date for that product, stated in the Thai Buddhist calendar (where year 1 starts 543 years before the western calendar system) is correct.
