How many hours you have for screen on?

I got about 6 hrs surfing on stock JB.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] daniel_hk:
The /data partition is 13.xG but 12.xG is reserved for internal sdcard. Backup for /data would exclud the internal sdcard in /data/media. Do you mean the internal sdcard backup over 4G?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] czach5932:
Data backup is close to 3g and everything else is about 400 meg.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] daniel_hk:
OK, I've just seen you have a i815. May be the version is TWRP is older. It definitely backup the whole data including internal sd. File size is limited to 4G that's why it is split. Seems TWRP doesn't support our tab anymore. The latest ver. is 2.3.1.1 now. I'm on 2.4.4.0. May be the Backup/Restore is different.

I tried building TWRP once and cause my tab soft brick by a mistype dd command. Still have some shadow...

Anyway, I'll give another shot if TWRP still not supporting our tab in the next version.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] jkrell:
My TWRP data backup is over 5Gb, split into 4 files.

Before I installed a ton of apps, it was less than 1.5Gb.

It may be that it could be reduced, but I don't really have an issue with it being that size.

I am on an i815 on TWRP 2.3.1.1.

I've thought about switching back to CWM because TWRP doesn't seem to support the i815 anymore, but TWRP is so darn convenient.

Could I just modify init.smdk4210.rc and remove

on init

mkdir /mnt/shell/emulated 0700 shell shell

mkdir /storage/emulated 0555 root root

mkdir /storage/sdcard1 0775 system system

mkdir /storage/usbdisk0 0775 system system

export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/emulated/legacy

export SECONDARY_STORAGE /storage/sdcard1

export EMULATED_STORAGE_SOURCE /mnt/shell/emulated

export EMULATED_STORAGE_TARGET /storage/emulated

# for backwards compatibility

symlink /storage/emulated/legacy /sdcard

symlink /storage/emulated/legacy /mnt/sdcard

symlink /storage/emulated/legacy /storage/sdcard0

symlink /mnt/shell/emulated/0 /storage/emulated/legacy

symlink /storage/sdcard1 /extSdCard

symlink /storage/sdcard1 /mnt/extSdCard

symlink /storage/usbdisk0 /usbdisk0

symlink /storage/usbdisk0 /mnt/usbdisk0

Wouldn't that prevent the folders from being created and then without the symlink it wouldn't cause the files to be copied to multiple locations? Sorry for the long delay, the life of a truck driver is erratic

Not really able to try anything until I get home tonight. I only get 48 hours off a week and I'm trying to get as much info beforehand.

Thanks again for all the help
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] daniel_hk:
I don't know why you need to remove the /storage folder.:confused:

You can see that it's the physical mount point of external sdcard. Some of the system services also depnedns on that too. The symlinks are for backward compatible. Files are not copied just a link. They only occupy a few bytes.

As I mentioned before, even if you modify it, it will resume to it original at next boot. They are not suppose to be modified by user. and the content has no effect on anything after system finish boot.

Don't waste your time on this. You can't change anything without repack the kernel. And will casue the system not boot if you really modified it and repack. :cyclops:

Battery life great so far, same as "s" kernel previously. I have been running for 20 hours, and I'm at 56%.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Nuclear Blast:
Our friend has no rights to post here and he askem me to do this:

Hi!

Signed up here to give feedback to the pa 3.60, but I need 10 posts first..

Could you please post this for me?

6800

got 50% battery last night. Wifi on, gps off.

7 hours later, tab was turned off and warm to the touch.

Not able to turn it on, did not seem to charge - left it in the charger so I'll check it after work again.

Was on pa 3.56 s-kernel before. Did a complete wipe prior installing 3.60

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] czach5932:
Now that me and Daniel are done fighting :p I thought i'd update.

First PA 3.6 is great. Bootup seemed faster and system seems really snappy, including halo, but not much time to test it.

To solve the ram leak (if there is one) running v6 supercharger with the auto superclean is keeping my free ram above 300 at almost all times.

Also took a leap of faith and flashed LP11 modem and stayed at -98dBm so i'm not sure why 4g isn't getting a stronger connection.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2111799&highlight=lp10

kind of funny that i'm getting way lower strength but way better connectivity

I live about 30 miles outside Omaha, NE so i might be a little far from 4g but i'll report later if it changes

also wondering if there was anything that can be done about the dead areas when PIE mode is active.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] daniel_hk:
Did we fight? :D

I don't have a 4G plan to test... need others to report.

Don't know what you meant by dead area?

The pie in PA is limited. Only one trigger area can be selected. Pie in cm10.1 can be activated at any sides if enabled. I also like to keep the status bar at extend desktop. If this is not changed in the next PA, I'll try to add those cm10.1 features to PA.

Right now I'm studying the PAC rom. Seems interesting to have a combination of PA + cm10.1 + AOKP. Will return to the new kernel later. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] jkrell:
I have 4G but have had no negative experiences. And I checked and I was already on LP11. No idea how/why.

With respect to PIE, what he's talking about is the same thing I've asked about recently. When PIE is active, whatever side of the screen you have it on experiences a dead zone/area where touches don't register. This is a well-known problem with PIE and I don't think there's a solution.

FYI, we can move the PIE trigger area in this ROM. What you do is when you've brought up the PIE menu, hold it and drag your finger to the middle of one of the other sides. You'll see an icon appear. Move your finger to that icon and hold it until it registers (you'll know when it does). From then on, it'll appear there. There's some bugginess where it'll randomly reposition itself to a different side, but again I suspect that has nothing to do with our ROM specifically.

If the dead zone issue could be solved, PIE and HALO would be a great combination. Until then, they're not for me. Besides, in Tablet mode, you don't lose much screen space (the status bar on the bottom is small and there isn't one on top). I could see how you'd be more tempted to use this in Phablet mode.

All in all, 3.60 is exceptional. Thanks a million Daniel!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Edwrib:
I don't understood the dead area too, here all is working perfect, check the white dot of my touch feedback in attached screens.

You haven't touching the pie trigger area and thinking it's a dead area?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] kaijura:
I'm in CA, with AT&T. On my stock modem (XXLPW) I'm registering a -81dBm on the latest PA 3.6. Granted I normally don't get this signal strength out in the world but it's there.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] paranoiadk:
Bug report:

I'm having wifi issues on a fresh 3.60 install.

On a fresh boot I can turn on the wifi just fine, but when I turn it off and later try to turn it on again it will get stuck on "Turning wifi on" (I get that in the settings menu).

Anyone else with the same problem?

Any solutions?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] czach5932:
I've been turning Wi-Fi on and off all day and haven't had an issue. I'm not sure if anything was changed in 3.6 to improve reception for the i815 or the updated modem is the reason but I'm getting about double the reception I did before. Not able to see if I get any type of 3g reception but happy as can be. I can't wait to see what PA guru Daniel had in store for us next.

Try enabling PIE controls, setting them to the bottom of the screen, and see if you can get that part of the screen to register a tap.

Also, what are your PIE control settings in the Toolbar menu in Settings?

Finally, I did see in another forum that this isn't experienced by everyone for whatever reason.

That screens I posted is with pie active, otherwise the navigation bar was in the screen too...

I have pie in bottom, only in botton, as you can see in white touch feedback, the touch is recognized, the there have a area that is reserved to call the pie, it is less than half of the space button area.

This need to be there, if not you can't call the pie up. you can configure the size of this area in pie settings, I set mine in the minimal size.

Try set minimal and put pie only in one corner, to test try pie only in sides and see if you still have/understand that dead area.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] jkrell:
If I lessen the PIE trigger area, then it helps with the dead spot but PIE is harder to activate. For example, set on the normal size, I have to try over and over again to bring up the pie menu. And I often accidentally select one of my home screen shortcuts!

If I increase the trigger area, PIE is easy to activate but then the dead spot is VERY big.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Edwrib:
So that's not a dead area, it's the trigger area, that's it, without it you cannot call the pie.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] paranoiadk:
I was using the -a kernel until now and haven't had this issue.

It hasn't gone away for me yet, I hope it does.

64GB microSD

Hello! I would like to know if it is possible for our Tab7.7 to use 64GB microSD? I tried my Sandisk Ultra but every time I mount it, screws up the card and needs to be reformatted. I tried the same card on my S3 and its ok. Is there a way to fix it? Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] ColBill:
the thread > Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 > Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories > 64Gb Micro SD card would probably be a better place to discuss 64 gb Mirco SD card stuff. But i do use two Class 10 64Gb Micro SD cards with this ROM. they are both formatted Fat32 and work well for my needs. The thread i reference has a lot of reading to explain what has been tried - - I formatted them both in a Tab 7.7 running Ice cream sandwich ROM. A search of that thread should answer most of your questions. :cyclops:Best of luck.:fingers-crossed:

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

I have started having this same issue. The problem started after traveling across country last week. I have installed 3.60 and gapps again and hope it clears up the problem. I also get the stuck on message described above and can not toggle wifi back on.:confused:

Hooray! ParanoidAndroid 3.60 HALO working

Hi all,

I stopped using PA due to 3G (wifi ?) issue since PA 2.5,

but PA 3.60 is working perfect on my mobile so far, faster and stable more than ever!

Strangely the 'Developer Option' in my mobile system settings is missing as you see the screenshot.

Is there any solution?

I need to turn on 'USB debugging' as Titanium backup demands it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] bandroid842:
Go to settings, about tablet, then keep clicking on "build number" till you will see a sign (about 5-7 clicks later) that says developer options are now available.

Hi matsuru

Good to know 64GB microsd can be working.

Which one is the format system you are using, exFAT NTFS FAT32?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] matsuru:
I think i used FAT32. with NTSF, u need an app like "paragon" to mount it everytime.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] czach5932:
You can also use Dev Tools in the app drawer. Open that then the first option is Developer Options for USB debugging.

Formatting of 64GB MicroSD

Thanks for awesome responds on which format of 64GB MicroSD is to work for p6800.

I have a 64GB Sandisk Ultra MicroSD-XC class10, which was factory pre-formatted in exFat.

Which way is the best to re-format it in Fat32?

via Windows System? or via 7.7" phablet ClockWorkMode format?

Please share your experties how to process the re-formatting. :)

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] jkrell:
It's a dead spot. For instance, if I have PIE at the bottom and try to type on the keyboard, I am unable to use the bottom row of the keyboard unless I tap on the highest edge of the keyboard. So the trigger area extends your "desktop" but you can't use the extended portion anyway because it's reserved for the PIE controls. Which is fine unless your doing something (like typing, gaming, tapping on icons, etc.) that requires use of the edge of the screen.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] czach5932:
i've kind of messed with some of the settings and the only button i've had a problem using is the space button but i wonder if it matters which keyboard you use. i use swype dragon and i only lose about 1/2 the space bar. but have you tried moving the pie gravity to any other location? havent really tried anything else because i use a BT keyboard when PIE is active.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] daniel_hk:
There is sensitivity settings in cm10.1 might help but not in PA. I set the gravity to right edge to avoid similar issues. I'm studying the possibility of porting some PIE settings from cm10.1 but it requires quite a few changes... Hoping PA will include some in the future release. Otherwise, I need to redo the changes in every update.

Right now I'm busy at work... :cyclops:

Than is it enough for me wipe cache, dalvic-cache after flashed PA 3.6 and gapps?I do not really like to reinstall all my applications (after full wipe).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Kholargol:
- wipe cache (don't need to factory reset) and dalvik cache and install the PA 3.60 over the PA 2.55.

- Gapps are not included but if they are already installed on your PA 2.55 you don't need to install it again.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] czach5932:
I read your first post to fast. I didn't realize you we're on 2.55. Kholargol is right. When I upgraded from 3.56 to 3.6 I already had gapps installed and I just wiped before I flashed.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] czach5932:
Are you taking about the quick settings or the pie settings? I like the pie layout so I never really looked. Quick settings is under toolbars in the main settings. Also I've never used any earlier version then 3.56 so I'm not to sure of the settings your referring to. Do you have both options for GPS checked? I've also heard leaving your WiFi on helps GPS signal but I've not had a problem with either version getting a good location lock with Google maps.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] d0shu:
Hey Daniel,

Noticed another problem recently.. After using the WiFi for a period of time and then leaving the area or turning WiFi off mobile network remains disconnected. Status shows strong signal and the carrier information, yet the mobile network remains disconnected until reboot. It causes problems when hopping back in and out of WiFi areas or when WiFi decides to stop working, miss calls and messages/emails etc because mobile network doesn't kick in like it should.

Both v6supercharger and pimp my ROM work fine.. Also pimp my beats and Sony bravia engine installed fine as well. 14 hours of regular daily use and 30% battery left.. Not too shabby.. :)

Always appreciate your good work!

Thanks for your report.

I use wifi all the time, haven't try too much on mobile data. Just tried briefly. I turn off the wifi and data kicks in. Will try again later when I'm on the road.

BTW, wifi only affect Mobile data, normal calls is not affected. Can i815 make/answer calls? Or your meant Skype, right?

I don't like: new feature, notification bubble on the left side on the screen;

new position of the quick settings on the right side;

lower taskbar icons (latest apps, home, back) position.In this rom I can not find how to arrange them as I like.So I go back to PA 2.55.Sorry.

About battery life : look at users comments. It should be better than 3.56. I think you should investigate a little instead do a quickly downgrade..

Maybe you're right, I have no more patience to deal with it.There was too many bad experience with this rom for me.Freezing selfbooting system, bad gps, draining power, a couple of new feature that I do not like.... so I flashed back my twrp backup to 2,55.Thanks anyway all of you for helping!

Do you mind share with me your patched service.jar? I wanna try V6 supercharger, but i had not a really smooth experience trying to patch the service.jar last time.

btw, using pimp my rom now. everything is smooth, but sometimes the tab will freeze and after a while it will reboot by it self.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] czach5932:
I was hoping that v6 supercharger would fix the RAM leak but something seems to keep killing my tablet around the 24 hour mark. I use v6 to clean my system every hour but at about 22 hours of up time my system lags so bad I have to reboot. At the home screen I stay at about 300 meg free RAM but ad soon as I run chrome free RAM drops to under 150 and keeps dropping ad long as I have chrome open but if I close it before my tablet freezes free RAM jumps back to 300. Haven't really had a chance to test anything else but this has happened at least a couple times a week

Anyone else been having this problem?
