Guys

Managed to pick up a cheap P6810 to play with the CM10.1 build. Still using my P6800 daily so have to keep it on stock ICS.

1. 5Ghz WiFi seems to be working properly now as far as I can tell. 30 feet from router through concrete wall still connected although signal level quite low.

2. 2.4Ghz has no disconnects as far as I can tell.

3. Had two random reboots while running vanilla, no specific apps running that I think could have caused problem.

4. GPS seems to be working fully.

5. Little bit of tearing but livable.

6 I've been looking today at the DPI settings and having tested at 160 it screws up the landscape home screen layout, is there a fix for this?

7. The double bar is annoying and I couldn't see a fix reading through the thread, is there one?

Great job all the guys working on this and I really think it's very close to a fully functional build. Given the Thailand announcement re JB release how do the devs feel about us getting to a fully functional build?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] edan1979:
even if we do get JB... without proper source code from samsung... it wont mean much...

The double bar is a "feature" of 4.2.

Hey locerra, Did you change the font size of the play store?

Even with dpi at 160 it looks big. I've google A LOT trying to find where the settings might be to change the font size for just that one app.

I also downloaded an app (can't remember which one) that didn't work.

So if anyone knows how to change font sizes for google play store, I'd appreciate it. Mainly for aesthetics but also to learn a bit more....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] bandroid842:
I had to go back to stock ICS. I could live with the graphic tears, but the lack of wifi tethering was very difficult to me.

Quick note: do not try to go back to stock using Mobile Odin. The machine gets on a continuous bootloop, and you can't even shut it off. You have to go to download mode while it's restarting
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] edan1979:
you just simply need to do factory reset using cwm... the data from cm10 wont be compatible... that's why it keep looping.

Hello!

I updated CWM to 6.0.2.3 through Mobile ODIN Pro yesterday night, rebooted on CWM, then updated from CM 10 to CM 10.1 and to Google Apps 20121212 without wiping anything. It worked on first boot.

But this morning I'm stuck on the Galaxy Tab 7.7 boot logo. The only thing I'm able to do is boot in Download Mode holding power and volume down. I can't shut down so I can't get to CMW to wipe.

What should I do? :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] edan1979:
you can shutdown... just hold the power button around 20 sec...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Romano2K:
Holding the power button as long as 30 seconds doesn't shut down the tablet. It reboots before and comes back to the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7" boot logo. The only thing I can do is reboot in Download Mode holding Volume Down + Power for a few seconds.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] massdown:
connect your tab while on download mode and open odin on your pc

flash the "CWM 6.0.1.1"

now you can start your tab on recovery mode
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Elian123:
My p6800 with CWM 6.0.2.3 also wouldn't get past the boot screen this weekend. I WAS able to get into recovery by pressing and holding volume up and power from that boot screen probably just in the same way you get into download mode with volume down and power. Can't you get into recovery in that way?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Gilbot:
To get into recovery you have to hold power plus volume up and immediately let go of the power button when the Samsung logo appears while still holding volume up.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] edan1979:
yup... this is when your hand need to be quick to push the combination to enter the cwm mode... another way that i have try is... while it show the samsung logo. plug in to the charger and press the power button for 20 sec. it will shutdown and the battery charging icon will be showing... let it be for 5 sec... then just switch off the charger... it will stay shut down... now just power on using the combination button to enter cwm.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] bandroid842:
I just wish the fantastic developers would make another update to try and fix WiFi tethering :) would really be wonderful if they could

I/cm ( 1810): Welcome to Android 4.2.1 / CyanogenMod-10.1-20130105-NIGHTLY-p6800

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Romano2K:
I learned in another thread that I had to select the CWM tar file with the PDA button, right? (it's written nowhere) So I flashed CWM 6.0.2.3 a few times until I read your suggestion. I just tried flashing CWM 6.0.1.1, but it doesn't help.

That's what I'm trying to do for a few days, without success.

To be precise:

I start from the boot or battery logo, as I can't shut down the tablet.

I press Volume Up, keeps it pressed then press Power just after.

I hold both of them until the screen goes black, then immediately release Power, but keep Volume Up pressed.

The only thing I get is the boot logo.

If the tablet goes out of battery and I plug the charger, I get a strange battery logo. See the post attachment.

Is my tablet bricked? :-|

IF ALL ELSE FAILS, you can try removing the battery for 30 seconds.

To do this you need to remove the back cover...(I have done this several times)

Look at this vid on youtube ..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phCG3Pq4Cq8 ... it shows you how to remove cover

!!!!!!

REMOVE YOUR SIM AND SD CARD FIRST !!!!

After removing cover, note the vid shows the "Samsung" end first , you will see it is very easy to unplug the battery.

This should reset your Tab.

Re assemble and good luck.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] cymagnus:
If you can't get to recovery mode and can get to download mode, the other way is to flash back stock rom thru PC Odin to get back stock recovery. After this, you can start all over again..
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Romano2K:
After flashing CWM 6.0.1.1 with ODIN, the tablet restarted automatically, so I guess it tried to boot the ROM, which isn't working, so I got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7" boot logo.

From there I can reboot the tablet holding Power, or reboot in Download Mode holding Volume Down + Power. If I hold down Volume Up + Power, I get a reboot on the boot logo, not on CWM.

As you say, I'll try this if everything else fails.

I already flashed one of the Samsung ROMs without success. I can't find the ROM with which my french Galaxy Tab 7.7 Wi-Fi came, so I grabbed P6810XXKL3_CSC_XEU from that topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1469635 It didn't helped. :( I explained in details what I did here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1469635&page=41

Is there a detail I'm doing wrong in the process? Or do you have any other idea?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] edan1979:
you just need to find the timing to push the vol up+power button... you can enter the recovery mode... just do it correctly...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Elian123:
I hold both buttons until I see the samsung logo (the one you can't get past currently, I think), so past the black screen at which you already stop holding power. I then let go of both buttons, I don't need to continue to hold volume up.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Romano2K:
I tried many combinations, it just doesn't work.

Chainfire "himself" prepared a tar file for me, that wipes the memory as the recovery would do.

I'm afraid my tablet is bricked now. I'll bring it to Samsung as soon as possible and see if they can do something about it.

Thank you anyway for your help!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] gazjglusk:

It's been done before several times , don't worry .. see here.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31830856#post31830856 ...post 485/6.

I think you will have to install your stock rom after.

Good Luck

ps. I think it would be good idea if you hit the 'Thanks' button for everyone who has tried to help you.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Romano2K:
I don't see how physically unplugging the battery is different than having a battery totally running out of power. The motherboard and the memory loose power in both situations. I'll try to bring it to Samsung first, then only if they can't do anything, I'll try this. Thanks for suggesting anyway.

You're right, I'm going to do it right now.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] gazjglusk:
It seems to me that you have some sort of jam or conflicting data in the 'bios' (or whatever it is in our tab). In Gemma's case, her battery was fully drained, but being connected it still maintained a circuit in the circut board. When disconnected it allowed the 'bios' to clear or reset itself. I suspect this is needed in your case. (By the way, if a battery is 'fully drained', it still contains a minute charge, enough to maintain a circuit).

Maybe also you could hold the power down for much longer than 20/30 seconds. Say several minutes ..might need to use some tape !! or something to save the fingers !!! ... Could be worth a try. Cheers, you'll get there
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] TheComputerDude:
EDIT:EDIT: Tablet just needed to be recharged, it is strange though because i believe it had a half a battery before i went to bed. ROM must be draining like crazy, but that will get worked out.

Hello fellow Galaxy Tab 7.7 owners!

Unfortunately, After successfully being on locerra 10.1 ROM for a few days, my tablet shut down and did not come back on.

I have tried forcing a restart (holding power button for 30 seconds) and putting it into recovery with Locerra's CWM 6.0.2.3 but nothing comes on.

Not even a Samsung boot logo.

I can how ever put it into download mode and push .tar files, but i dont know what that will do for now.

I have take apart my tablet (at great cosmetic damage) and unplugged the battery for a few minutes to no avail.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] rathian:
Hi Loccera, I think it is now possible to try and bring back about 70-80% of the tabletUI interface... it involves changing some bits and pieces here and there... is it possible to implement it in your next build so that we can at least have an option? I'm sure most of us who bought tab 7.7 is for the tablet usage and not the phabletUI that google is trying to implement....

Another thing you might want to try is to flash stock rom (pda) with .pit file (pit) and the re-partition option enabled (box checked).

Do not

attempt to re-partition without the .pit file.

I know the stickies do not recommend it, give this a try. I done it before but is for P6800 & P1000

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
hello locerra,

I tried to build the ROM from the CM10.1 sources together with your repositories:

<project name="ohanar/android_device_samsung_p6800" path="device/samsung/p6800" remote="github" revision="cm-10.1" />
<project name="ohanar/android_device_samsung_smdk4210-tab" path="device/samsung/smdk4210-tab" remote="github" revision="cm-10.1" />

<project name="CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4210" path="kernel/samsung/smdk4210" remote="github" />

But the build stops with

make: *** No rule to make target `/home/beegee/ganbarou-4.2/out/target/product/p6800/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libUMP_intermediates/export_includes', needed by `/home/beegee/ganbarou-4.2/out/target/product/p6800/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/gralloc.exynos4_intermediates/import_includes'. Stop.
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

IMHO a good initiative BeeGee_Tokyo!!

I think you have an incorrect understanding of something.

Every person has their strengths and weaknesses and everyone has something they are good at.

There are innumerable ways one can be smart about things as well as good at things.

Focus on being who you are and what you are good at rather than misbelieving you are stupid because you are not a programmer or engineer.

Hi, I have been 'playing with compiling' 10.1 for p6800 for the last two weeks and have never done this before !

my local manifest is ....

<project revision="cm-10.1" remote="github" path="device/samsung/p6800" name="ohanar/android_device_samsung_p6800"/>

<project revision="cm-10.1" remote="github" path="hardware/atheros/wlan" name="ohanar/android_hardware_atheros_wlan"/>

<project remote="github" path="hardware/samsung" name="CyanogenMod/android_hardware_samsung"/>

<project remote="github" path="packages/apps/SamsungServiceMode" name="CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_SamsungServiceMode"/>

I don't think the 'diffbundler' one is needed, but put it in just in case. The last two 'cm' ones were added auto during the build.

I did not have a prob with your file 'import_includes' but had the same problem with the following libs.

libdrmwvmplugin.so - libwvdrm_L3.so - libwvm.so - libWVStreamControlAPI_L3.so - vendor-camera.exynos4.so

After hours and hours researching what *** No rule to make target ` meant, I realised these file were missing from the applicable target directory. I googled ...it took hours .. to find a download of these libs and manually put them in the target directory. ( I discovered after these libs were in my pa 2.55 rom!! ). By the way the build stopped each time a lib was not there ..I had to find it and then restart the build, until the next one.

Finally i got a 'build'. It turned out similar to Iocerra's ..problems with phone etc.

This bit for GNUDroid too

. As I said ..I have never done this before, but needed something to do, so I thought I'd give it a go.

I am 64 yrs old next week and suffer from depression and serious arthritis in the thumbs. With loss of energy and pain in the hands it is a stop ..go situation, but great satisfaction in the end. You just never know what you can do !!!

My solutions to the problem are obviously not the proper ones, so if 'Iocerra' you can spare time to give BeeGee and me and maybe others, the proper way to fix this, then it would be much appreciated.

Cheers to All

no, probably not anytime soon -- school is back in session and that consumes the vast majority of my time.

Lack of source of samsung

Which is likely to continue since they have being prevented from selling the tab in Europe.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] dfkt_:
No, Google in their infinite wisdom "unified" tablet and phone UIs, so there's no way around the stupid waste of space with the two bars (at least for now).

For pixel density just change ro.sf.lcd.density=xxx in the build.prop (160 is the old default for tablet).
