You can get ROM Manager installed and all that, but it's hit and miss with the backups. I went through the installation instructions from theunlockr.com myself and backups never worked right.

I prefer Heimdall install myself. It's really not that difficult to learn. There's a tutorial right in the README.txt file.

If you get Clockwork recovery, there's a flashable zip on page one, can't get much easier than that.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] eromrab:
ROM manager hasn't worked at all with this ROM. I couldn't backup or restore.

And the CWM recovery zip didn't work. Had to use Heimdall.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zaxondis:
Oh yeah, never even tried with this ROM. I removed ROM Manager a while back because to get any of these awesomely modded ROMs (CM7 or Overcome) you need to either use Heimdall or Odin.

I think to have lost the little usb battery charge, i'm sure i had it before.

Anyone one can say to me if it work/don't?

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] maxtcee:
Can you post the apk for the oovoo your using mine wont let me access the front camera nor can I find one in the market
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jeremysv:
Sure. I'm not familiar with how to do it though. Can I pull it through adb? How do I locate the .apk?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tryerxda:
Install Astro from Marketplace

Open it up, then Swype the top icons until you get to Prefs. Tap it.

The Backup directory option will tell you where it will put your .apk's.

Hit Back.

Press the menu button.

Select tools, then select Application Manager/Backup.

Tick the app/apps you want to backup.

Hit the backup button.

Locate and (ahem..) share your backups. :D

Everytime I power the tab down and then connect it to AC power, it boots up automatically. Does someone has the same behavior?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Coolman4now:
This is a known bug in CyanogenMOD, it has nothing to do with this ROM.

My Cappy also does that. :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
I am working on the LPM (Low Power Mode) now.

It is actually fixable for us. Init needs to read /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charging_mode_booting and and if it is 1, boot /lpm.rc instead of /init.rc.

They don't have that in aries kernel they use.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Update

2011-06-06

Add attribute for available frequencies, fix cpufreq sysfs permissions so CMParts can access it.

Change compile options for kernel to cortex-a8. Enable Tiny RCU.

Fixed calls from other places in the kernel that used old speed levels and caused frequency spikes to 1.2GHz.

Fixed Low Power Mode (it properly starts /lpm.rc and displays charging animation).

I also changed back to JQ1 EGL libraries, Crespo libs didnt help and they were slower.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] k0sh:
i think you missed my question , Tech , can u add smartass with the new kernel ?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
No I think you just being ignored... I love tech for this no crap attitude ... you asked the question once, tech isn't an idiot and didn't miss/misunderstand/need anything explained to him/her so move along. If its doable or a priority I'm sure you will be informed.

@tech thanks for the new release. Love your work..

i got no idea what are u trying to prove here !!! LMAO
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
I think his point was simple.

He was saying that Tech didn't "miss" your post. You quoting Tech's changelog and saying you think he missed your request simply because it wasn't included is rude.

Tech will include smartass if/when he chooses to.

And before you start accusing me of harassing you I'm not, I'm just explaining the point which you said you had no idea of.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] k0sh:
i understand this part , but i mean how he knew it ? this is what makes me LMAO ..

i hate when ppl involve in things they aren't their business , no point on anyone , but really do hate it , it will probably make a prob also with the Dev ...anyways Peace , and tnx for your reply :)

Edit : i just Laughing loudly cuz u said the last part :) no worries am not anymore going to fight with anybody , see ya around :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Sorry, not for now. I asked Mr.X about which patch he recommends using and got no reply yet. Some users also were reporting unstability with it so lets wait till it is more stable.

You can always add these modules to your system. It looks the update.zip should work. Otherwise do it manually by remounting and pushing with adb.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] k0sh:
thanks mate , for your reply :) really appreciated . am not going to do anything . except the updates from u :) .. i love the rom , and am going to stick with it until you finish it completely ... thanks for the advice :) ...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Coolman4now:
- Horray, thank you. :)

- This was annoying as hell.

- Can this be implemented on other CyanogenMODs as well ?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zenkinz:
Hi tech. I assume download the cwm version from your first post is the right version. the problem for me is the file name is alwaysthe same and there is no version in the setting screen I can tell whether I flash thelatest version or not. Nota deal breaker just an process improvement feedback. Obviously if u ask me whether I want this fix or graphic acceleration support I would go for the latter without any hesitation!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tonyckma12:
Thank your for your great job, Technomancer!!!

I like reading ebook on bed at night time. May I know how to switch off or adjust the bright level of the indication led (home, return, menu and search key)?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Open terminal, su, then echo 41 > /sys/devices/virtual/leds/button-backlight/brightness

any value between 1 to 41 is low brightness, 0 is off, 42..255 is full brightness.

This will probably last till the lights driver writes the brightness again.

I'll see if I can make any changes in config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues array but auto brightness has been a bit wonky.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
I'm not trying to prove anything. I'm sick of the same old people bouncing from thread to thread asking annoying questions ... again and again. I'm sick of reading about what you want, when you want it and how you want it... it wasn't you but someone even explained what frame rate means... to the developer ffs!

I guess the point I want you to leave this post with is silence doesn't mean inaction per say. Ie just because you haven't been given an update or blow by blow account doesn't mean its not being looked. It may not be too but in my opinion its as rude as you can get asking again and again... especially with the condescending tone... "I think you missed my question, tech, blah blah" that sounds pushy and condescending and just plain rude to me.

Just my 2 cents...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] k0sh:
i think u missed Tech reply :) .. LMAO .. are u seeing me in ever F><ckin thread u go ? because i think its the 1st time i see u here xD .. anyways am not that kinda of person who like to annoy ppl with **** , i asked the dev simple question "would you add smartass to ur next update" wtf wrong with those sentences ? don't put your 2cents on me , try with another one , cuz i can put on you 5 cents :)) .. no hard feelings dude , am just trying to reply u by the same level you wrote all of this stupid sentences to tell me stop asking the dev , WTF , this is the 1st question i asked to the dev , boow ,,

As can i... it seems u and i have been round for the same amount of time then.. you prolly pip me by a year or 2 but not many... that's got nothing to do with anything here though my friend. Even if this was your second day on-line i would have still felt free to put my opinion to words ;-)

I wasn't trying to do anything more than express my distaste for the pushy attitude shown here in this thread. tbh i really don't care if it missed its mark on K0sh or wtf ever its tag is but it does annoy me that i came across the wrong way with yourself. Wasn't trying to be condescending and in fact my whole point was and still is that if your able to do what you have done here you obviously are a very capable person.

Anyway, ill back off and keep my post to a minimum in your thread mate. No disrespect intended.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
Lol. I found my Amiga 500 the other day... it was in a box under my c64!! I kid you not it still works too... Geos and tape decks all the way... real actual floppy floppy disks and a cartridge to hack and cheat the games.. the good old days when you needed to be able to do more than just turn on the power on and start demanding things...

The internet is being over run with the take from you and you give to themselves generation and it really sucks IMO... but I guess that means I'm an old person huh?

EDIT: still no hardware decoding with with video playback for those wondering. Am I the only one that reads the first post as saying decoding works? Anyway it doesn't. Software playback works to a point but still requires 3 or 4 players to cover the main codecs but it struggles, uses loads of CPU and kills battery... and forget about any HD stuff... oh apart from YouTube as pointed out, by k0sh I think it was, but again I believe its just software not hardware. Anyway not having a go just to save those who are waiting on real video playback the wasted time of flashing this only to have to nand back to whatever they had before after thinking that the bit in the first post "video decoding" means hardware accelerated video playback. Which it doesn't. As I now know. Now you all know too. That's why I'm editing my post. So no confusion.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] edmondt:
This really makes no sense from a usability and compatibility stand point... 100% of the apps out there sees embedded as /mnt/sdcard and external as /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

void.fstab should default to that standard.

Either that, or the standard should be:

/mnt/sdcard = internal sd

/mnt/emmc = external sd

might as well have this as well:

ln -s /mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
100% of apps see it as they're told to see it. On a samsung ROM they're told to see internal mmc as /mtn/sdcard, and on CM7 they're told that the internal mmc is /mnt/emmc. There is no compatibility issue. While it may be a PITA to move stuff from internal to external, it's still the way CM works, and I doubt it will change
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] af974:
I'm sorry for repeat my question, forgive me but is usb charging supposed to work?

I've just re-flashed latest version with heimdall and just to be sure again with CWM after a wipe but my battery won't charge, usb still work, i can use the basic process as adb, mount storage.

i did:

cat /sys/devices/virtual/switch/usb_connected/state

and get 1 so usb is working.

I do not care if it doesn't work with tech build, i just don't remember if it was working before.(i guess it was).

Ty.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jeremysv:
My Tab does charge on USB but neither the battery symbol on top nor Settings, Status reflect this.

About old times:

Gopher was the ****. I didn't think Mosaic and HTTP will catch on because it required X11 and graphical terminal and Gopher happily worked in telnet terminal. At the time I was in school so I had great internet access via the university.

I have Amiga 1200 with BlizzardPPC, Atari 130XE, Timex 2048 (ZX Spectrum clone) and 3 SGI Indys ;-). Amiga needs new home BTW so PM me if you are interested.

About SDCARDs:

The way Samsung set them up isn't a gospel.

The way I set them up is how its gonna be in CM7. If you don't like it, vold.fstab is in /system/etc. Adb remount and change it any way pleases you. Please I do not like to discuss anymore it is a waste of time and it is not possible to make everyone happy.

Abou USB charging:

It works, albeit slow. If you keep your Tab on all the time it will hardly charge it. At least keep the screen off overnight or power it off so it reboots to LPM (special charging mode). LPM has been fixed in 2011-06-06 release.

About release numbe/date:

It is posted (date) in the title of first post. I will not change filenames because one can download new updates automatically, or without opening the thread or with a script easier if the name is constant and I dont have to change links in the first post. If it bothers you you can rename the file after you download it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] diagdave:
I like how the sdcard mount is. Would a sybolic link work for those with an issue. Have a link to internal on sdcard. Although I think that needs ext4 on the card.

Edit: sorry just saw this is already suggested above
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] edmondt:
I cannot agree to that....

/mnt/sdcard for external sd is originally configured for device like HTC which does not have much built in storage.

CM7 on Galaxy S has /mnt/sdcard as internal and /mnt/emmc as external which makes more sense.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
What's the problem with the way they're mounted? Putting the internal memory on /mnt/sdcard/ is a straight up lie, it's not an SD card. It's emmc, hence /mnt/emmc. You still have full access to it, Android still scans it for media, apps can still get access to it if the user decides where things are saved. Like Tech said, if you don't like it feel free to change it. My point, as said by Tech, is that the mount points won't change. They make more sense the way they are
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] enyeng:
I have been following this thread closely since I got my Tab 3 months ago and have been itching to ditch the Touchwiz for CM :p.

However, as the Tab is my main and only device, the broken bluetooth headset profile is a deal breaker for me. Any hope for this issue to be fixed, then? (I am actually not even sure if this is GTab specific or CM7-wide issue).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Tab specific ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Do you know if they have this problem in CM7 on other Galaxy S devices? We share most of the hardware with other Galaxy S.

I am quite sure it is not libaudio problem because it persists whether I used my opensource libaudio (derived from Galaxy S) or Samsung's binary audio driver.

Iti's not modem, because same modems work with Samsung's ROM. It is nor kernel because it is the same. It is not RIL because we use Samsung's binary RIL. So I am stumped here.

How do I download it automatically? I assume you mean something like Rom mgr that automatically check for new update and download automatically as a result.

If it does not then I am not sure why the same name will help (automatic download) but like I say this is your thread so I am not complaining. Just offering some suggestion to improve on the procedures.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] chandradithya:
@technomancer - I own a samsung galaxy 3 .. And in that under system/app there are 2 files that take care of bluetooth.

There was one called bluetooth.apk and the other bluetoothOPP.apk

I was playing with those files one day and realised one took care of printing and the other was for bluetooth transfers etc.

I deleted the one for bluetooth printing (bluetooth.apk not the other one. It was wrongly named by samsung themselves)

And realised that my bluetooth headset just wouldnt work, nor connect. But other devices would and also I could share files. Maybe its because bluetooth for galaxy devices needs an extra system apk so that it operates properly?

Im just brainstorming here.

Just restored CM7 after a failed flash of 3.0 yesterday, and as soon as my Tab booted I got a notification which said Google Books was downloading and then saying it had been *updated* which was the strangest part seeing as I didn't have it installed anyway. But its still not installed after this ghost download.

Anyone else had anything like this? :confused:

Hi Techno, I'm glad you changed the open gl libs back to the original ones. It has improved the 3d performance of my tab. I am really pleased with your kernel and Rom so far. I have overclocked and undervolted the device. Performance is extremely good. Customisation options are fantastic. Just having issues with recording videos with the camera. But so far so good. Thanks mate.

Hey nobleskill or the mighty techno,

Did you manage to get the hardware video acceleration working for the samsung specified file formats on this rom?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
Nope. No joy as far as Im aware... it tough too cause I appreciate its probably not the #1 priority for the project ATM but its a very important thing to me... lol... been avoiding asking the question as i think tech answered it but the finer details escaped me... I think it should be working as we are using libs from another device with similar hardware...it should work but doesn't and its more digging than time permits?? I dunno...

I hope it comes through soon but I'm personally not holding my breath or expecting much on that front...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Right now Bluetooth SCO (Headset profile) and video (decoding and encoding) are near the top of my list.

I am quite sure we will not be able to use Samsung's binary video libraries, so we will have same support as CM7 on Galaxy S. Lots of video players out there ignore Android video decoding libraries and use their own ffmpeg etc anyway.

Both things being on top of my list do not mean they will be fixed anytime soon though ;(. Simply because I am stuck, especially with the Bluetooth thing.

In other good news, Fabrizio Russo started helping out. He made new layout XML files for dialer fixing the layout in landscape mode, and now he is working on RotarySelector which should help with the ugly lockscreen. Big thanks to Fabrizio!

So if anyone wants to help as well, please PM me. Even if you can just read logcats and source files and point us to what and where has to be fixed it would be great help. If you can start java or native debugger and dig deeper it would be even better.

I'll try to write post on how to compile CM7 for SGT from scratch on Linux if anyone wants to get their hands dirty.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] paulshields:
That's great news techno. I've been doodling around with compiling CM7 on the tab on a linux box but if you can provide your build docs that would be useful. I'm an old school C programmer and have been having a hack, but would certainly appreciate some hints around building CM7 on SGT from someone who's actively hacking it. I'm sure all outstanding issues will be dealt with soon. It's only just another android phone ffs :D.
