Updated to 20150513

Following decatf's builds, here are latest builds:

aosp-5.1.1-p5wifi-20150513.zip (kernel included Figue v16)

aosp-5.1.1-p5-20150513.zip (kernel included comes from an old KK release which don't break things, thanks to L3R0N again. It includes a script that monitor data connectivity and adds the default route when is needed)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
New build works fine here. Thanks. :D
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] c90:
Do the 3G and the YouTube app work fine with this release?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] djcasl:
Charging with Tab off still not recommended

So I tested a charge with the tab off, it claimed to be 100% at the battery load screen. It started charging almost immediatly so it has improved, with kernel v15 I needed to nudge the powerbutton once. So I started the tab and 2% battery is gone. But for a boot, that should not be any concern. However, playing my fav games yesterday had me on 91% after half an hour. And about 82% after an hour. Today I am at 55% with almost the same test. So I am doing a reset on my battery stats once again. I will do the charge with the Tab on, that works best for me now. It charges as it should and has expected batterylife after a 100% charge.

edit:

I am going to install the latest ROM (20150513), but the 08 build was allready working really well. I doesn't feel sluggish and I really feel you extended the life of my tablet beyond what samsung ever intended. So keep up the good work, kudos to you.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
3G works fine on the p5, mobile data and voice calls work fine as well. No idea if the YouTube app works tho.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] XCMDOS:
The only issue is LAG ! ALL you dou is lag lag lag :p
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] lallolu:
Why don't you update the original post with the latest versions.

I tried enabling it as well but I still did not get the keyboard.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
Are you using Omni? If so then make the switch to the aosp ROM. Its the one that's being maintained by jolinnard , it also has less bugs...and the keyboard works with no issues.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] rajmagi:
Stupid question: I think we have 2.7 TWRP supporting SELinux rite??? cmiiw
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] graug:
We do have 2.7 TWRP, but as far as I know, the SELinux stuff is not working, so all the SE features have been disabled. I guess 2.8 would provide a better basis for it.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
Hey guys I know many don't use Stock Rom anymore but maybe someone here can help me out. I've enabled phoneUI on Stock Rom 4.0.4 build from Omar. The problem I'm having is that the nav key icons won't show up. I've enabled the navigation bar in framework but the icons still aren't there. Look at the attached screenshot to see what I'm talking about. If someone here knows how to fix that problem then please send me a pm with instructions or tell me where I should look and I'll take it from there. I hate the TabletUI hence my reason for going after the PhoneUI. Look at the area circled red...the nav bar is there and the keys are sorta there....but no icons.

Regards,

L3R0N
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] DemonGloom:
That's either problem with missing icons in SystemUI.apk or missing layout in framework jars. As far as I know, there is no solution to that problem.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
Thanks for the heads up. I think its a bit of both missing layout and icons since the layout is all wrong ( stacked rather than side by side) and icons are not shown. Wish it was as easily fixed as the force closing systemui when the DPI is changed to show phoneui.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
I solved my problem. Thanks to [MENTION=1473901]DemonGloom[/MENTION] for trying to help. I simply disabled the nav keys in framework and use Ultimate Dynamic Nav Bar to get those keys. I also use App Settings xposed module to get all apps to run at default 160dpi while letting the system run at 220dpi to prevent syatemui from force closing. So all runs great.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] drpelpi:
I am on last 5.1.1 ROM version. Are you guys able to use Skype? For me is just impossible to establish a call which is one of the main uses of my tablet. It just freezes. Besides that these roms gave brand new life to our tabs. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] DemonGloom:
You can also try LMT Launcher (or GravityBox for Xposed) to remove buttons from screen at all. That's the way I use my tablet :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
Ultimate Dynamic Nav Bar let's you auto hide the nav keys so they're there only when u need em. I wish there was a Gravitybox module for ICS but there isn't.....I use it on my nexus 9 and its one of the best modules for xposed.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] lallolu:
Does anyone have problem with youtube? Video plays but the picture is still while audio continues normally.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] djcasl:
Youtube works for me, HD quality struggles a bit. But it works

---------- Post added at 07:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 AM ----------

This ROM has some battery issues for me, but here's a way to make it managable. When you need to charge, make sure tab is still on. Plug in the charger and reboot and just let it start Android an go to sleep mode by itself. For me it now charges to 100% without issue. And it has a solid 7 hours of battery time. So tab last me 2,3 days before need of recharge at normal use.

So if you charge your tab and it get's stuck at a percentage and charging seems to take forever. Do the reboot charge trick, might work for you as well.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Maszew:
I just flashed this ROM, and Settings FC's upon startup so I can't even set it up to the home screen. Help?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
Wipe all except internal storage and flash again. Never had this happen to me tho.

In the meantime, guys the Tab 10.1p4/p4wifi has multirom working thanks to decatf. Wonder how soon we can enjoy such a feature, if ever. Also Aosp ROM has been updated in the p4 thread.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ulrar:
Hi,

Flashed the 5.1.1 rom for the p7300 yersterday, seems to work great as long as I use the tab. But everytime I let the screen turn off for a minute the tab reboots.

Anyone having that issue ?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] graug:
I don't experience any spontaneous reboots. The latest ROMs are very stable for most of us. Which version of the tab do you have? I seem to remember that there were problems with the GSM version. Which kernel did you flash? Maybe it's worthwhile to do a wipe/factory reset and reinstall again? If that doesn't fix the problem, you should try to pull the recovery log and post it here.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
I assume you're not on the latest version of the ROM. The older version used the figue kernel which has issues with the p7300 tab. Flash the latest ROM and you will sacrifice performance for stability since it uses a cm11 kernel. But with that you get functioning data and voice calls. But post the last_kmsg log here by all means...I'd like to share it with decatf as he has said he's willing to help us out.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
New kernel test

Hi,

I successfully added a new feature to kernel that I want to share. It's a port of a touch boost implemented in grouper by MoKee. The other is cpuquiet that I'm trying to figure out how it works :P

This kernel is for p5wifi only. Recommended settings: 216/1200 MHz, nightmare governor, deadline scheduler, 1792kB read-ahead, KSM enabled (it's a default setting).

Figue-boot-v17-p5wifi-L-test3.zip

Also this kernel has the latest changes by decatf (the new branch is kexec). So ,maybe, if we can build a multirom TWRP recovery, we can install multiple ROMs in a future :)

Let me know how it works this kernel. Wipe not required.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ulrar:
I flashed the rom on the first page, aosp-5.1.1-p5-20150426.zip + gapps

Do I need to flash a kernel separately too ? 'cause I didn't

I'll see about the log tomorrow, never did that yet but I'll figure it out.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
I have p5wifi, so I can't fix all the issues in p5. I know that [MENTION=5944750]L3R0N[/MENTION] used another kernel to workaround reboots. Also he uses a script (or something like that) to connect 3G data. [MENTION=5944750]L3R0N[/MENTION] can you help with links?

And OP updated with latest ROM and GAPPS. Check it out.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nizuak:
#noob alert#

Thank you for resurrecting my tab ,wrks gr8 luks gr8 but my only quirk is am not able to make calls which entierly seema my mistake .do I need to flash ny other zip nd I cannot rename my device in wifi direct ,here maps FC as it seems it cant make up its mind on weather to display in landscape or portrait
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] decky006:
Hi. Any changes to WiFi module in new kernel? Was running well with the default settings but today after waking up from deep sleep the WiFi was acting up saying no internet connection. Browsers wouldn't work, strangely though google play could still connect. Turning WiFi on and off didn't help. I had to switch off tab, restart, forget WiFi connection then re do it. Now OK.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Sorry, maybe some p5 owner can help you.

Should be ok. My tab is doing weird things too, not on wifi module... Battery life sometimes sucks... Other times works as it should.

I've bought a Nexus 9 yesterday at good price in Amazon.fr. My plans are to follow upgrading this ROM/kernel as this tab will remain in home, for kids basically, to play and to learn with some educational apps.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] ulrar:
Well I don't have a valid sim card in the tab anymore, just use wifi so I don't really mind if the 3g doesn't work, but I'm very interested in the kernel I should flash though !
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Ok. Could be something related to GCC indeed... Launch a logcat and try again. Also, you can pull /proc/last_kmsg in next reboot... Maybe we can see what's going on...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
OK will do. I had a go at Android 5.0 Lollipop and the good news is it boots. The bad news is that it was stuck in a bootloop at the welcome screen. It didn't stay more than 4 seconds on before rebooting over and over again. Its probably kernel related. I think [MENTION=219150]jolinard[/MENTION] should have a go at it. He's much better at this than I am. There's some minor changes in the way things are set in the updater script and build.prop but its relatively the same.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
Hey guys finally I got Lollipop 5.0 up and running(sort of). There are bugs though, the tab reboots when the screen goes off, the rotation is bad(when in landscape the screen goes to porttrait and when in porttrait the screen goes to landscape), 3g doesn't work either. But overall it seems very smooth. Attached are some screenshots. Anyone with knowledge on how to fix these bugs are welcome to pm me or post it here if thats ok with the OP.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] zooster:
About the rotation maybe you have to apply that build.prop setting rotate to 90 or something. About reboot it should be something related to the kernel...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
The ro.sf.hwrotation=90 line in build.prop seems to not fix the problem. I put that line in the first time. I think its something to do with the sensors that cause the screen to be rotated badly. And youre right the reboot issue seems to be related to the kernel...just haven't figured out what exactly is causing it to do that. Also imei is shown as unknown but this issue is present in the original p4 ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Kernel update to v13 (only f2fs version for now).

Figue p5 v13

Figue p5wifi v13

Some changes, see github for full detail:

Added Nightmare CPU governor from Nexus 5 Unleashed kernel.

Added a few tweaks in deadline scheduler (I hope it will increase read storage performance).

The combo: CPU overclock to 1400 max + deadline + nightmare seems to work very very sweet.... :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
Nice. Downloading and will report back.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] phhuang:
The nameless 20141027 works (but also got SoD issue) and 20141108 doesn't boot. v12&v13 kernel all got bootloop. Liqidsmooth ROM can't install - error message showed...

sent from my XTZ
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] HaTeNL:
Thanks for your rom. It works great. Tablet never felt so fast.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
I assume that you are using f2fs ROM and kernel. Did you flash before new f2fs recovery?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] phhuang:
I flashed f2fs recovery then ROM and kernel
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Ok. If you want help, please, flash ROM, gapps and kernel and then pull /tmp/recovery.log and post it. We can review what's going on.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
As before, the 20141027 build works but the 20141108 build doesn't even get to the bootanimation. It just hangs at the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 screen. I was really hoping the v13 kernel would work but alas it didn't. Good work though even though it won't boot for me. I will try again and pull the recovery log after. I'd be more than willing to test an ext4 version though assuming you do make one.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Thank you. I found the problem. I'm uploading this new zip, with problem fixed (I guess).

nameless-4.4.4-20141108-p5-HOMEMADE-f2fs-fixed.zip
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
Thank you for your swift responses and attempts to fix these issues. I'm downloading now and will test and report back. BTW, did you ever give Lollipop 5.0 a try? Mine boots and stays on but the screen refuses to rotate properly....the icons move but tapping them doesn't work. You need good memory to remember where they were previously in order to get anything done. :cyclops:
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
No, I don't. I'm waiting a little more to see if people in 75xx can fix a few things.

If you want, I can build a kernel with stock ramdisk (ext4 partitions). You could flash it after the rom. Also, if you want to discuss some changes in build.prop, we can do it here :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
New kernel v14. Just a minor change, but it feels a bit smoother:

Figue-boot-v14-p5wifi-system-cache-f2fs.zip

Figue-boot-v14-p5-system-cache-f2fs.zip

Do you feel more battery drain with latest versions? I'm trying to improve performance, but I can't be sure if it will impact in battery... Let me know.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
That'd be mighty fine if you did. Thanks

I haven't noticed anything majorly different in the battery life yet. But if its there then it can be expected due to the increase in performance. Haven't really been using this tab that often as before because I got a Nexus 6 and this thing has suddenly grabbed all my attention. :D

EDIT: The ROM failed to flash. Error while executing updater script. Attached is the recovery log just in case you need it.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Here you go:

Figue-boot-v14-p5-3G.zip

Good toy :)

Damn... will see now.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
Ok... sorry. Short memory... :eek:

I forget to include f2fs tools :P

nameless-4.4.4-20141108-p5-HOMEMADE-f2fs-fixed2.zip
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jolinnard:
So, you can try v17 test3 :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] decky006:
Apart from this little hiccup its been running great. Battery seems to last for days when not used.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
To make phone calls you need to be using a headset. The built in mic does not work in voice calls but the mic in a headset will work just fine so use a headset. If on the latest builds voice calls should work fine with a headset. Have you been able to make voice calls in the past? If not then you might need to flash a modem which supports it. See here for info on how to do that. You'll need only the CWM_I9103XXLQ3_Modem file.

If you don't use 3G then you can use the p5 WiFi rom on your p5 since it works great.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nizuak:
Flashed CWM_I9103XXLQ3_Modem,now seem to hav lost all netwrk. How do u enable 3g data ,I believe I need to flash a diff kernal ,nd wifi direct doesn't seem to wrk either.kindly help guys

Thank you for entertaining q&a in this sec

Awesome wrk guys,thanks a ton
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
Some info would be helpful. First off what version of the rom are you on as in build date. Second go to settings>about and check baseband version. What does it say? With regards to kernels you need to flash this kernel to have working 3g data.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] asurabp:
Can I use a p5wifi kernel in a p5 rom?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
Yes you can. But you can also use a p5wifi ROM on your p5.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] asurabp:
Thank you. Now i just need to wait until this bad boy went empty batt. Made into stuck at bootlogo (wrong flashing my fault). Also power button is very hard press.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] :
With TWRP recovery, some zips won't flash, like the latest beta of L Speed (http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/tweak-l-speed-v1-0-02-02-2015-t3020138). It seems to be working for others. Is there a reason why?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] djcasl:
I have installed this kernel and everything seemed fine, lately I am having some sleep of death issues. Tab won't wakeup anymore. Have to press power button for 30 seconds to reboot my tab.

Anyone else having these issues?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] graug:
What error message do you get? Can you provide an installation log? Did you follow all the instructions for the installation of this mod?

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

I'm running the previous kernel and don't have any sleep of death issues.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Emil Borconi:
Hi guys. First of all thank you for the work done.

I have a small problem all works fine except whenever I dock my tablet to a desktop docking it totally freezes and I have to force shut down it. If i try to boot it up while docked it will not even start so I'm guessing it might be the kernel. Any ideas.... ?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] djcasl:
Installed V16 kernel see what is does, let you know in a couple of days testing
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] graug:
No idea, but maybe we can get some information from the kernel log (hard-reboot the tab into recovery and pull /proc/last_kmsg.) Can you grab and post it here?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Emil Borconi:
Will try, but most probably it will be only after 19th of August, I will literally have no time to do anything like even re-flashing roms in the next few weeks. Currently I installed AOSP 5.0.2 and that works like a treat. However I will like to get 5.1.1 working as well so will defo grab the kernel log. Thanks for answering.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] :
It's not just the mod, so even if I did do something wrong with the installation and I fixed it, it still wouldn't work.

It says something about an error in the update binary.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] graug:
Without the installation logfile and the exact error message I won't be able to help. AFAIK, the update binary is a shell script which does the required work for the update. If this script fails for some reason, then the app can't be installed.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] :
Where do I get the installation log file? The error message is something like "Error executing updater binary in zip ZIP_FILE_PATH". There's no detail at all.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] graug:
I'm not 100% sure where the log is stored. You could have a look in /sdcard/recovery.log. Alternatively, you could make a screenshot. The following post from the mod thread indicates that others seem to have the same problem:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62103610&postcount=7521

So it doesn't seem to be related to our ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] L3R0N:
To get to the recovery log in TWRP go to advanced and tap on copy log to sdcard. Another method is via adb with

adb pull tmp/recovery.log
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] djcasl:
Well installed V16 kernel after testing the v17 kernel and my Sleep Of Death problems are gone. So I'll stick to this one for now.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] :
I've attached the log.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] graug:
the log doesn't reveal much. I downloaded TEST5 and had a look inside the package. The update-binary is located in

L_SPEED_V2.4_REVOLUTION_TEST5_arm\META-INF\com\google\android\update-binary

When TWRP is installing the package it tries to execute this binary. For some reason this doesn't work. You could try to unzip the package and execute it on the adb shell and see what happens. Maybe you get a more detailed error message. The execution could fail for several reasons (missing libraries, invalid binary, not suitable for the CPU in our tab, ...). I'm a bit reluctant to try it out myself as I don't want this mod installed on my tab. Is this the only package that fails to install or do you have problems with others as well. Do previous versions of the mod install on our tab?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] :
This isn't the only zip. Versions before 2.4 do install.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] gracien:

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] swaaye:
I installed your 5.1 build today and it is definitely a very nice improvement over stock. Nice work! Seems like storage performance is better. The tablet doesn't constantly jam up with lag like it did before.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] armyofme:
Just installed this and it's great. Given a new lease of life to my tab :)

One question, I don't seem to have a home button...I mean I'm guessing the middle circular button is meant to take you to the homescreen but it doesn't do this. Any ideas?

Thanks!
