[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Seems fine now. Thank you very much!!

I will test it tomorrow deeply.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Tab was all night without rebooting. Thank you again.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Jnn1:
Happy to report after a day of usage, everything seems great with solo 05-19! Fluid, smooth and the occasional flickers I had in 04-18 seem to be gone too (even though I dirty flashed)!

Many many thanks!!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] shiko80:
Can somebody else confirm that with the latest AOKP the screen flickering issue was fixed. Seems still to be an issue with the latest CM10.1 RC2.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Caffeine Fever:
I seem to have quite some Wi-Fi issues on the latest PA build : not only I have frequent disconnects, but I also got the Wi-Fi stuck on "turning off" had to reboot the tab. Any chance you can look into this? I'll try to get a logcat if it helps.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
Not quite sure. Sorry.

Yes, I'm aware though don't really know what to do...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] shiko80:
Does anybody know if there is a difference between AOKP and CM10.1 RC in terms of stability and smoothness. Right now I'm not sure what I should go for.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
Some wifi issues with the current version, though coincidentally I'm actually building new stuff right now. As for what is more stable and/or smooth I'd say test it yourself, many seem to have good experiences, others seem disappointed.

To give a bit of personal opinion: I'm loving PA right now. I find it much more polished than AOKP. Difference in performance between them should be negligible.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] shiko80:
Can you please give us a short status about the issues and what works.

It would be really great if you could write a short history for every release what was changed in the first post.

I have read the whole thread and there seem to be issues like this.

The bigger problem is that I always don't know if theses issues exists on PA or AKOP.

keyboard crash bug

kernel panics

rotation bug

WiFi issues due to new bcmdhd drivers (3g device tree does not have bcmdhd support)

screen flickering issue

wifi tethering not working

boot screen logo not centered (not a big deal)

Anyway I really appreciate your hard work, and I will give PA a try once the new version is released for my P7300.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
Keyboard crashes if you write too quickly with the official gapps AOSP keyboard. Thats what the alternative gapps is for, no other fix available.

Kernel panics were only present in one or two 3g builds, though the latest builds are fine.

Rotations should be ok in all current builds.

WiFi issues seem to be completely resolved in the May 19th builds. Though no promises for the 3g versions.

Screen flickering I think is going to be identical to the CM-10.1 builds.

Wifi tethering I can't personally test, you'll have to ask others or test on your own. Again should be similar to CM-10.1 builds.

Boot logo there is nothing I can do about.

All of these device related issues should be identical between AOKP and PA. Also PAC, which is coming today.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] upconvert:
That's exciting. I love the PAC ROM on my phone. Thanks for building it for our tab!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
Available at http://addem.tk/android though still untested.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] upconvert:
Sorry, it wouldn't boot. Keep trying, though. I would love to see PAC ROM for our tab!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] WodgeFTW:
The camera app is not displaying correctly on AOKP, it's all squashed into the middle from the sides.

Anyone else having this issue? Did a wipe and fresh install, still not working.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Hurrian:
Built my own PACman using the CM10.1 local_manifest.xml.

Everything works except for proper DPI settings, trying to mess with PAPref's settings to fix it.

EDIT: Copying /system/etc/paranoid from addem1234's PA builds fixed it.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] OmarEinea:
Hi

Sory if this is noob question

I can share photos and media using Bluetooth

in last AOKP rom on my P7300

but i can't share apps or zips using Bluetooth

so is there any solution for this problem??

and why can't I switch to table ui in Pa last rom??
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
No idea what might cause this except panorama mode.

Good to hear, I wonder what i might have messed up. Looking in to it today.

Sharing things over bluetooth is going to require some file manager app, from there you can share any file over bluetooth.

Tablet UI is working perfectly fine for me, so there is nothing I can do.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
New build available and I actually tested this one, it works.

http://addem.tk/android/p5wifi_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v22.3.0_20130525-142702.zip
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] shiko80:
Can I actually dirty flash PA, AOKP or PAC on CM10.1RC2 without wiping.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
Yes, though you will get loads of force closes. Clearing contact storage data seems to solve this.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] upconvert:
PAC ROM is fantastic! So customisable. Pretty fast and smooth. I was able to restore my hybrid settings from PA. Before that, I had no taskbar or pie controls, which made navigating the settings a little tricky. I recommend messing with the hybrid settings first to get a Nav option. Under settings, sound force closes. Other than that this ROM is perfect so far.

Thanks so much for this Addem1234!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
I dirty flashed PAC from AOKP, and now it's impossible to apply hybrid settings, nav bar it's gone and status bar is like it doesn't exist (it override the desktop or apps). In logcat I see lots of errors (core dumps in /data/anr/traces.txt) and the only workround is reflash the ROM... I dirty flashed PA and happened the same... I think I need to full wipe :( Is there something that I can wipe individually to try to fix it? I do a individually wipe of Contacts storage and SystemUI without no effects.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
Maybe wipe hybrid settings and ROMcontrol? Honestly I don't know.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Really weird... after a full wipe, format /system included, I can't show nav. bar again, in hybrid settings workspace size it's always set to 0 DPI and blue bar doesn't change either.

If I apply preselected Tablet UI, system crash and it freeze the tablet. It's really weird. In my N4 I'm using PA since the beginning and hybrid settings always works for me. Lastest time I flashed PA in Gtab it works too...... I will try to flash your lastest PA and see if it works.

Update: PA it's doing exactly the same... Going back to AOKP in the meanwhile.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] mikandlotta:
I have also lost the status bar and never got the navbar visible. However, I did get the PIE working so navbar is not needed. Notifications seem to appear to the right of the PIE menu. But, for the life of me, I cannot find any settings to restore those items. My feeling is, after a day on this, that the project is very worthwhile - perhaps we need a new thread or update to OP to indicate that we have a CM10.1 rom... :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Yeah, I tried with PIE, but seems a little buggy, when you put the tab in landscape the first time PIE goes at the bottom and it stay forever in that position...

[MENTION=5019846]addem1234[/MENTION] maybe we can try to build 3.55/3.56 versions of Paranoid to see if it's a simple bug.

On the other hand, I have a bit experience building some ROM images and kernels, but I never build nothing for Gtab :o. [MENTION=5019846]addem1234[/MENTION] / [MENTION=4309076]Hurrian[/MENTION], could you share your own scripts to build the entire ROM (if it's not a secret for you)?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
Is hybrid properties in PA and PAC broken on clean installs?

PA 3.56 is available at http://addem.tk/android. The wifi build is tested and works fine, though I haven't tried it on a clean install.

I could provide you with the local_manifest I use, and the files I've modified. No secrets here.

cd frameworks/base
patch -p 1 frameworks_base.patch
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Yes, hybrid properties seems broken.

Will try 3.56 now.

Ok, would be a new experience for me to build a ROM for my gtab ;)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
The problem might be my comment on line 9 in the default config. I've removed them in the 3.56 PA builds.

Edit: I lied. PAC builds are updated.

Edit2: PA updated too.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Hybrid properties is fixed in lastest build. Thanks!!

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] mikandlotta:
Ouch... I am stuck in a bootloop.

I downloaded 3.56, hit power button, got tempted to press the pie button before rebooting recovery.... system froze.... long power press reboots and stuck in a forever PAC is loading......

Power plus vol down does NOT work, either nothing happens at all or a normal boot attempts and hangs (freezes) eventually.

If only I could get back into CWM recovery... Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
Install adb and do "adb reboot recovery", though holding power and volume down shuld always work.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Tab should reboot with the power button pressed 5-7 seconds. Only the power button. If it works, after screen goes down press only the vol-down to enter to CWM. Format system and reflash ROM and GAPPS.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] mikandlotta:
Yeah, thought so...just when I am overseas. Teach me not to play when I am on the road. ?....

Can only blame myself and play instead with little brother (P3110)

---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

Nope. PAC appears. I seem to remember Android was a 2 button combo. Power plus left button (Down) gives download adb menu. Power plus right button most time gives nothing. If I release button then pac loading starts and never finished.

Guess I should wait until the weekend. ......
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] upconvert:
As jolinnard said, you have to press and hold power until the screen turns off, then release it, then the moment the Samsung logo pops up, press and hold volume down.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] mikandlotta:
That doesn't work for me. Perhaps there is a special microsecond timinig but 20 attempts have failed so far.

All i get is pacman loading

I have no factory cable with me so ADB solution will have to wait until the weekend.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] mikandlotta:
After 30 or so attempts I got in to CWM. Hallelujah :)

Reflashed May 25 and gapps. Wiped dalvik and cache.

Fingers crossed as we go....

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

I think my biggest error is boot sequence is not like my Galaxy S.

(and also the volume down button on 8.9 is opposite direction to the 7" - why Samsung do you do this?)

Rather than getting CWM menu direct you get two icons -for download and for recovery. Mea culpa. Thanks guys for your tips.

Back to testing the fix, notifications and navigation.

---------- Post added at 11:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

Update. Still in bootloop. Managed to go back to CM10.1 RC2, will recharge battery then reflash :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
You can format /system and then reflash PAC or PA. Or maybe you must need to do a wipe/factory reset.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] shiko80:
I have tested AOKP, PA and PAC an my P7300.

What I figured out:

- Dirty flash from CM10.1 RC2 to AOKP did not work

- 3G is broken in PA (build 2013-05-25)

- Smoothness seems to be all the same in AOKP, PC, PAC and CM10.1

- I see no need for AOKP and PA as PAC seems to combine the best of PA and AOKP together

- I think CM is a little bit more stable, I had some FCs what I didn't see in CM.

So if you want to have more flexibility and feature I would go for PAC.

But in general all are having the same issues like CM10.1.

- flickering issue (should really be fixed as it's kind of bothering)

- starting logo not centered

....

For AOKP, PC and PAC also some kind of polish would be great. Especially the language mixture is pretty bad, partly English and native language (in my case german).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] upconvert:
+1 to all of that. I think battery life might also be better in PAC ROM than the rest.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] alienboyxp:
Agree... in general tems works perfect I come from CM 10.1 and the ROM tunning included in PAC are amazing :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Maybe it's placebo, but Real Racing 3 it isn't as smooth as AOKP... I tweaked a bit the CPU/governor and with lastest RR update seems better, but in general PAC it's OK for me. Great features and very stable.

Only known issue still was sound settings that cause a force close.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] itsita:
download links are down for everyone or just me?

also, anyone notices memory leaks in 4.2.2 builds? especially PAC which is based on CM 10.1?

On CM the tablet flies after boot, but after opening a few apps it slows down dramatically. i think this has happened since the new kernel.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
Just noticed that, it seems my .tk domain has disappeared. Will try to fix ASAP.

Edit: registered addem1234.tk, addem.tk is still registerd but seems expired. Though I think i did renew it... Anyway links are updated.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] itsita:
thanks addem.

tested PAC's build and CM9,

although it's mentally tough to downgrade, CM9 is just better in everyway (except customisation).

thanks again for the builds!!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] shiko80:
Did you compare the stock browsers? How is the smoothness of both? Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] DemonGloom:
Hi, addem1234. Do you plan to build new PA with HALO? It was merged to main repo, so it is possible to get it on our tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
Thanks for the info, some new builds on their way I guess.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] zsolti256:
I ran Aokp and Cm9 back to back the aokp rom is way faster.

Addem!

I treid the A1 1.9kernel, and the other OC kernel are realy fast, but wifi breaks if I flash it. Can you - we make it work?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
I think the A1 kernel is using the older wifi driver and is therefore not compatible, nothing I can do really.

Also the new builds are being somewhat problematic.

Edit: PA 3.60 for wifi is available at http://addem1234.tk/android

Edit2: SystemUI is constantly crashing on PAC and I'm unable to get adb to connect, kinda stuck.

Edit3: PA 3.60 for 3g is available and a new AOKP build for wifi. Seem to be having some wifi issues on all the new builds though, looking in to it right now.

Edit4: PA 3.60 for 3g and wifi is available and seemingly stable, updating the OP will have to wait though as I am leaving for a couple of days.

Edit5: Fresh AOKP and PAC builds available, still untested though. I'm now back to using C-o-M's prebuilt kernel.

aokp_p5_unofficial_2013-06-14.zip

Im using aokp_p5_unofficial_2013-06-14.zip it is pretty stable! No problems.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
Updated the links for PA and AOKP in the OP.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Is PAC build fine? I'm downloading it right now in Broken/untested/unstable builds (p5wifi_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v23.0.0_20130614-003703.zip).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
I suspect that SystemUI still crashes... Did you get it to work?

Edit: Still force closes on SystemUI
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Not yet... Do you have any idea to fix it? or it's a PACman upstream issue?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
Pretty clueless since I can't get adb to connect, perhaps I picked the wrong time to sync my sources for that specific build. Might try again today.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] upconvert:
I can confirm system UI crashes on the latest PAC. The first build is still great, though.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
Might have found the issue, stay tuned.

Edit: New wifi build available, 3g on its way.

Edit2: Updated OP.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Idlekilla:
Yo, addem! This summer when you get bored, do you mind making a CM9+ with superbutterysmoothness? ;)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Flashed p5wifi_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v23.0.0_20130619-170447.zip and seems that wifi module is broken.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Jnn1:
AOKP 06-14 seems smooth and stable after a day of use. Dirty flashed over 05-19 version without any problem.

Many thanks again for working on our 8.9s!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] mikandlotta:
I have been using it for a few days, quite happy :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
Yea, that's still an issue with the bcmdhd driver, reverting to the old dhd driver is still possible though.

Will look into the sound settings crash next week, away for the weekend.

Like CM9.1 or something? Will be working over the summer but might find some time anyway :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Idlekilla:
Yes! :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
I tried to push lastest .ko module bcmdhd.ko from p5wifi_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v22.3.0_20130525-142702.zip, but it doesn't work though. I suppose you have to build it from source.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
Duplicating the bcmdhd.ko file and renaming it dhd.ko might help as there is still a reference to it in the p4-common report. I have not figured out how to consistently and quickly reproduce the wifi issues so I guess some waiting is in order...

Anyone that is interested in trying the files are located in /system/lib/modules and you'll obviously need a root enabled file manager, adb or termminal emulator:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-num/p4 /system
cd /system/lib/modules
cp bcmdhd.ko dhd.ko
mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-num/p4 /system
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Thanks for the workaround. It works fine here.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] seanw712:
Hi,

Great job here!

Is there any option in the settings on any of these ROM's to change touch screen sensitivity?

I'm struggling with my stylus here, the default sensitivity is crap.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
I don't know if it's integrated in any of the roms, though I could include the kernel part of it in the next build.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] seanw712:
That would be great! Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] seanw712:
Just installed the PAC-rom, seems I can't switch on wifi. Any idea what might be the issue?

Thanks,

S.

EDIT: sorry, didn't read the posts above (silly me), can anyone explain to me what I have to do to fix this?

I saw the terminal commands above, but when I enter them it says :cp: dhd.ko: Read-only file system

I tried to mount it as rw with the file manager, but I get the same message...

Any solutions? Do I have to copy a new driver to the modules folder first?

Thanks,

Any workaround for that?

Pac rom is very buggy and kinda unuseble.

The worst bug is the keyboard keeps disappearing when typing any thing...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
New build with fixed sound settings on its way.

Firstly you are not that specific with all of these bugs, secondly the keyboard is known to be buggy with the default gapps. Check the OP again.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] upconvert:
I've been on PAC ROM since it came out. The only bugs are the sound settings (don't care) and the keyboard (i like swift key better anyway). It is far from unusable (that's how you spell it). I would say it's my favorite ROM for this tab so far.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] seanw712:
Same with me :)

You can get hundreds of free keyboard apps on the market anyway.

It seems you have found the new builds, the new cm-9 builds are "cm-9.1" and the cm-10.1 builds are from the stable "cm-10.1.0" branch (i only built those since C-o-M hasn't built them yet). They are mostly untested so if you have the time I'd appreciate you guys testing them as I am at work ATM.

Sound settings in PAC is fixed, if you didn't know.

Wifi is still problematic.

What problems with wifi do you have now? Are you using bcmdhd or old dhd driver? (I use old one for sgt7 and people don't have any problems with wifi)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] addem1234:
Wifi issues on ICS surprises me, will check if i messed up somehow.

I'm using bcmdhd right now, don't really want to revert... If 10.1 tabs can do it so can we!

Edit: Just checked C-o-M's sources and it seems he updated them today/yesterday. Module back to being named dhd.ko, is it still bcmdhd in disguise or did he just revert? Anyway new build coming I guess.
