8-16 Nightly

I tried the 8-16 nightly which is a 4.3 ROM. It's not quite ready BUT it looks promising. My device is a 3113 and I am using the 3110 nightly.

First I tried dirty flashing over 4.2.2 and leaving gapps alone. It booted but with android.process.acore closing messages that eventually went away after showing many times.

Next I tried a factory reset and a fresh load of the 8-16 nightly. This one booted to the "start" screen but the screen was cut off - the left half was black, so I could not proceed.

The closest I came to a working ROM was to dirty flash over my latest 4.2.2 along with the latest 4.3 gapps. I decided not to stay on this 8-16 nightly rom because the Settings do not have options to modify Paraniod Android Hybrid Properties nor the AOKP ROM Control settings, so you're stuck with PIE in Phablet Mode. Also, in the nightly settings, under the new menu PacMan ROM settings it frequently force closed the screen while you were making changes.

Still, this is a great leap to getting the Tab2 7 on to 4.3 with PacMan. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BADDINOROX99:
dude its in the PAC section if you swipe to the right
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] archcantor:
Are you actually using this nightly 4.3 ROM from 8-16 or are you telling me generally how the PAC menus work in 4.2.2?

I know how the menus work in 4.2.2. They are not here in this 4.3 ROM.

The 4.2.2 ROM has Hybrid Properties (PA Settings) and that one swipes to the right for more options.

The 4.2.2 ROM also has ROM Control (AOKP Settings)

Neither of these are in the 4.3 ROM Menu.

This 4.3 ROM has PAC-MAN Rom settings in the menu.

Under PAC-MAN Rom settings is PAC Console and if I swipe left PAC Stats. Swiping right does nothing and neither of these PAC MAN menus have PA or AOKP Settings.

Further the process.android.acore error messages continue. That may be because I dirty flashed but I can get a full screen on a fresh install so I can't proceed from there. I seem to remember one of the earlier ROMs had a half-black screen and Nick fixed it rather quickly.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BADDINOROX99:
yeah your right I installed this on my droid razr and 4.3 works great......I installed it right now om my tablet and gets only half a screen the rest is black since I had not flashed on my tab I mearly assumed you didn't look around the new settings menu since the layout has changed sorry about that
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] archcantor:
This is good info -- cuz I have a razr too and am interested in PAC for it. I think I am going to head over and find the build for the Razr. Thanks!

Update: I loaded PAC on the Razr and I see what you mean about sliding the menu to the right for the PAC settings! That was not working on the Samsung build. It was not even there. Thanks for pointing me to the sliding menu.

Update: I noticed something interesting about the sliding menu for the PacMan menus. If I dirty flash the 4.3 ROM my launcher will have an old Settings icon. This Settings Icon opens the old Settings panel without the PacMan menus. But if I go into the App Drawer and launch the new 4.3 Settings from there then the PacMan sliding menu is there. If I was able to do a clean install I would have seen the sliding PacMan settings. Because I was getting the half-screen problem I tried dirty flashing and got a full screen but did not notice the old Settings icon was opening the old Settings panel without the PacMan sliding menus. I still could not use the dirty flash because of the constant acore error.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
I think the hybrid properties are in a different tab under settings.. Once you are in settings you have to the left to get them...
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
I did some work around and found out that fault was with the boot.img... So here's a fix boot.img :D

Just replace this with the one inside the ROM zip and then flash.. The display bug will vanish..Good luck:fingers-crossed:

and ROM is working really smooth.. I love it.. :o
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] archcantor:
Thanks. I tried this but it did not work on my 3113. Still 1/2 screen on a clean install. I double checked that my new zip has the new boot.img. Could your fix be different for the 3113 and 3110?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
Idk.. That file was p3100..
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
Here you go.. Boot.img

Let me know if it worked..
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
[MENTION=1217384]Nick.[/MENTION]. Please update the op..:D It's been long... :p;)
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jasonyu007:
Hi zeetherocker,I use p3100 the kernel is still half screen . I really like this rom .who could resolve this .thanks !
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
Did you try changing the boot.img with the one I posted here... Try it again... Extract the zip and change it... It should work because it's working perfectly for me..!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jasonyu007:
yes,I had replace your boot.img .but problem still there.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] kepz:
Very true. I keep coming back to this thread to see if there were any changes, but the title of the post was still the same and so I leave not bothering to read LOL.

Go Nightly ROM?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BADDINOROX99:
I tried both boot.img files but I still go half screen on my p113 :(
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
I'm sorry bro but it should have worked for you.. It did for me..

Here are some screenshots
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BADDINOROX99:
I'll try it later again but this time with the boot image from the previous pacman build
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
This is the last one boot.img.. Try this one out.. It should work.. If it doesnt then I'm sorry...

Make sure you unzip the zip file delete the boot.img there and copy the new one into the folder and rezip it..

Good luck
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BADDINOROX99:
cool thanks.....fingers crossed
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
Let me know if it did the job for you... I hope it does..!!:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jasonyu007:
Hi !! zeetherocker , I use this boot.img at P3100 , still half screen . Thanks your afford anyway .
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] coverworld:
The same at P3110 - half screen :confused::crying:
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Kelsey Jones:
Hi I'm new to the Samsung tab community and I've always installed PAC on my other devices I see people are having the half screen issue with the newest nightly is there a stable previous nightly that is working?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BADDINOROX99:
If you go to the download site they have the release from the previous version
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
Here you go :

pacman.basketbuild.com/index.php?dir=main/p3100/release/

Just download the one there...
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jasonyu007:
if anyone had tried 08-20 Nightlies , Normal now ? I really like this rom .
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BADDINOROX99:
I still got the half screen :(
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] ellenth:
Can't use any of the new nightlies (4.3) on my GT-P3110. Have a black screen or a half working screen in landscape mode. Anyone a solution?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
Just try the boot.img I posted... If it isn't working then you can try getting boot.img from other roms like mokee, etc... It should work... If it doesn't then don't forget to come back and press thanks...! :p
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jasonyu007:
Anyone has confirm that. I always failed, crying.......
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] ellenth:
Thx but it doesn't work. Tried multiple
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] archcantor:
I tried today's 8/20 nightly with different kernels multiple times. Always half screen. Dirty flashed over my old 7/09 4.2.2 build and I get a full screen but get constant process.android.acore errors.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
Idk why it's not working for you guys..! :confused:

It's working fine on my tab and even on my bro's tab.. I don't get it.. :(
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] archcantor:
You have a 3100. I have a 3113. Anybody get it working on a 3100? Maybe the fix is model dependent like the rom versions? What does your fix do? Just replace the kernel with a different one? Thanks for trying anyway. We're all eager to jump up to 4.3!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] openmatrix:
When will be the new weeklies become available???:confused:
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BADDINOROX99:
I don't think your fix will work for us 3113 users I've bin trying to use different boot.img files and nothing works :(
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
I downloaded the latest nightly just now.. Even after changing my boot.img it wasn't working.. The display glitch still troubled me.. Previously for the 17/08 nightly I had done one more thing... I had added a bootanimation into the zip before flashing it.. as silly as this may sound.. It worked.. I had given up all hopes of getting 20/08 nightly.. But when i unzipped it and added a bootanimation into it and then flashed.. It worked.!!!!!!:p:laugh:

Hope it works for you guys also... If yes press the thanks button:p
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
Here's a bootanimation you can use :
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Kelsey Jones:
Added it to where exactly? Dying to get this thing working
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] fooiskandar:
How many day left for nightly release .... ???
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
add it into the zip..

system->media->"delete the one there and use the one I gave you.."

And tell me if it worked..
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] archcantor:
So, Zee, you ARE "the rocker"! I tried to do this before but with the bootanimation.zip from the 4.2.2 build from 7/09 and my attempt failed. Yours works! The first thing that is different on boot is that your bootanimation (the Google animation) starts right away. It starts out not sized and formatted correctly as it is off the screen. But it is appearing in that black space that was cut off previously. After several seconds the animation sizes to fit the screen and the Welcome screen appears.

For those who asked how to do this, download pac_p3110-nightly-20130820.zip from the OP. Then download zeetherocker's bootanimation.zip. Open the pac_p3110-nightly-20130820.zip using something like winzip or winrar. (You Linux people already know how to deal with zip files.) Go to the folder system/media and replace the bootanimation.zip file that is in there with the one you downloaded. If you did it correctly, when you boot, you will get a Google boot animation right away. You probably should factory reset, format system, dalvik and cache if you want to be sure to get a good, clean install. Thanks zeetherocker!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
Thank you..!!:p

And the bootanimation is not mine.. I found it in the themes and apps section, posted by [MENTION=4618522]blagginspaziyonokip[/MENTION].. Thanks to him...:angel::D
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jasonyu007:
confirmed,replace bootanimation.zip then happy to use .thanks .
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] archcantor:
Having a serious problem now. 4.3 booted fine with the new bootanimation.zip. However, after trying to reboot, I am stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 boot screen (not the animation.) The only way to boot again is to do a factory reset. I tried just entering the basics to complete the welcome and then I can't reboot without getting stuck again. This is a fresh, clean install. Off to do more testing ...

Update: This time I did a fresh install but installed the blackhawk kernel during the install. Completed the welcome process, rebooted and it worked ok.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BADDINOROX99:
I can confirm changing the boot animation and the boot image file works on my tab 2 I got the full screen working already Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Andrev01:
Now i can't wait for 4.3 PAC for P3100 :) Nick, we need you!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jasonyu007:
4.3 had already there.Just download and have fun.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Andrev01:
But only nightlies are 4.3 now? So the newest 21.08 version is 4.3?

Are they stable?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jasonyu007:
yes,very stable.plz. read previous posted.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Andrev01:
I see that the screen bug is solved by replacing boot.img and bootanimation, yes? The rest of 4.3 rom works fine and stable? It's necessary to make a factory reset?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jasonyu007:
yes,you would love it.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] ellenth:
Thx. Boot.img change didn't work, but changing the bootanimation does. Strange but it works.

Now when it boots I have a half bootanimation (I only see "Goo" and not "Google") before this on PAC I never had a bootanimation. I'm on 4.3 finally

Used the new nighly from today but didn,t change the bootanimation.........half screen again! Still have to change it
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] ellenth:
Van someone tell me where to find the Hybrid options?

Never mind, found it, just have to swipe
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Andrev01:
Ok, few suggestions after flashing 4.3 PAC:

- 3G doesn't work, it doesn't see my network,

- DSP Manager dissappeared,

- widgets are not remembered to stay on home screen (they reset after couple of whiles...) - the same problem I've got on my phone's PAC

- Focal doesn't work - it freezes the screen with camera view

- sometimes when I get into app drawer I see widgets drawer instead of apps - then I must tap "applications"

Can it be fixed? :) I'm still searching for some issues, thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
If you have the 3g problem try wiping cache in recovery..

Launcher related - use a different launcher..

And sadly Focal isn't working
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Andrev01:
Wiping cache didn't help. I just can't edit my APN setting and add new acces point for my 3G... Why? (adding, clicking "save" - nothing happens, still empty apns)
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
Is it showing you the default apns?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Andrev01:
The APN list is empty as stock - nothing were here, and nothing adds when I try to save it.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
Try restoring default apns... It'll take some time to load.. And it won't show anything.. Just restart the phone, you'll have the default apns.. Once the defaults are available you'll be able to add more apns... That's how it worked for me.. Try it.. Good luck..!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Andrev01:
But.. I don't understand. How to restore default apns? By clicking "reset settings" in apn settings? I did this, and after reboot the list is still empty, problem is still present.

Just flashed this version and it doesn't boot. After SGT logo I get black screen and nothing happens. How can I go to CWM now to reflash the rom?

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] archcantor:
Hi Nick. Welcome back.

FYI I just installed the 0821 nightly on my 3113. I replaced the bootanimation (don't know if I had to) and I flashed BlackHawk kernel too, dirtyflashing over nightly 0820. (0820 would not reboot with the kernel it came with) Worked except persistent "android.phone stopped" errors. Went in and deleted phone.apk and those messages went away. 0821 reboots ok and seems to be well after that. I have been using 4.3 as by DD since 0820. Looks like things are pretty close to having a solid build. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Andrev01:
I tried to flash the nigthly again, but now I get bootloop. Can somebody help me? How can I flash 4.3 right to get it work? Earlier I flashed blackhawks new vendor-blobs.. now I'm trying to flash old vendor-blobs and then rom, but it doesn't work...
