I think it should work. Look for posts from other Australian users, I am not sure what modem they use.

First thing you will have to update to gingerbread bootloaders and partition table (PIT).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tangcla:
I do have to ask... do you have any sort of instructional/guide? :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tangcla:
The baseband is P1000XXJPZ. Is this bad for me?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
I think it should work. Do you have Gingerbread installead already or still running Froyo? Upgrade to Gingerbread first, then flash CM7 (preferably using Heimdall, its more reliable).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
Hey mate. optus here, we'll optus tab on Vodafone. Only thing about Telstra is that the next g needs a different modem than most. Head over to the modems sticky and the first post has it. Also you will find other Aussies on Telstra have posted in there so they will be able to help for sure. <3 tech's work and <3 cm7!!

Hi guys,

Technomancer: it's currently running Gingerbread with Overcome 2.0.1. How is Heimdall more reliable? What are the risks of flashing it in CWM?

nobleskill: Thanks for that. In regards to different modems, which modem is right for me - at the moment I don't even have a SIM in it so I don't mind if it's 900/2100 or 850/2100 :) just want to try this ROM :D

Going by the list, Telstra modem is JJ3? So what difference is there between JPZ, JP4, and JPD?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
I believe its got a different band, either 850 or 900 I think to do the next g.. next g is sorta like cdma so uses different bands for data and voice than a GSM one. From reading around though you should be right with any GSM ROM but I can't stress enough the importance of reading the bible thread and learning Odin and heidmal. Get confident with those software and you find it mostly plain sailing..

Or if you want a challenge try setting up roto -backup and do a backup via and.. its a good way to get into it.. lol. It's the way I did anyway!! At the very least though a backup via Odin will give you peace of mind. Fyi, the tab are super hard to perm brick... unless the bootloadrs are taunted or teased.. they will @u?k your stuff up big time if you offend them.. jk but seriously, egg shells around em...

Now I'm thinking too that Natious is a Telstra tabber on cm7 so he would be able to give advice no doubt

I'm flashing it via CWM now.

When it went to "flashing kernel" the screen went funny - I got so scared, thought it just got bricked! But seems ok after that.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tangcla:
I flashed it with CWM and it didn't start... so I rebooted into recovery and did a factory reset. It started but everything started to force close on me. I went back to recovery... then realised that I can't access /emmc from recovery!

Is there an updated recovery image which fixes this? :)

edit: Still gets force close after a wipe :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] natious:
Dis you flash it over overcome? This happened to me when I did, I ended up flashing it over a nice clean fresh gb.

swyped from a galaxy far far away
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tangcla:
Yep I did. Now how do I get into the filesystem, because it doesn't allow me access to it now :(

edit: Figured out what the 'mount USB storage' option in recovery was :) mounted it and copied the Overcome ROM onto it, flashed it and I'm back in! Now I just have to transfer over everything from the internal /mnt/mmc to /mnt/sdcard as I can't access it otherwise!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] natious:
If your only used to the filesystem on the tab (like me as its my first android device)

flash the void.fstab.zip and it will switch mmc and sd so its the same as samsung, on stock cm7 your external is treated as the internal
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tangcla:
Oh... now you tell me :( lol.

So I've somehow royally rooted it, and not in a good way!

I tried restoring an old image of the phone when I first got it, the original owner told me it was a stock ROM before he flashes anything. Restored it and now it is stuck in a bootloop, and the recovery image won't mount the sdcards at all. So I have a device which does not boot up. :(

Any ideas how I can fix this mess? I haven't had any issues with my phones in terms of ROM flashing, but the Galaxy Tab seems to be significantly different. :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] natious:
The rom was probably a froyo one, just flash stocksafe Gingerbread via heidmil, and then overcome via heidmil and you will be fine.

Do you know how to use heidmil at all?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] coolkat:
the rom is really good speedwise and functionality wise but the battery usage is not optimised i think. eats too much battery. overcome 1.6 was best inregards to battery but i think hermes also eats too much battery but this rom is very very hungry even in screen off mode, it consumes abt 5-10% hr.

other than that rom is pretty smooth. just few bugs already reported like the recently opened items list on ADW.

one more strange with SD card... when i first flashed, i removed the external card. when i inserted it after flashing, it wasnt mounted. i used the attached file on ur first post but all apps were saying no card inserted. couldnot even see internal memory. then i reflashed the rom without wipe. on first boot, the external SD was shown as internal and internal as external under mnt/sdcard, mnt/emmc. after a reboot, everything went back to normal as it should (not as samsung intended but as rom intended). Second time when i re-flashed the rom, i didnot remove the external card.

this rom doesnot recognise the Dock. may be the dock is just the charge cable split into several components or not. my dock is regular one not the one with keyboard.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Oh man. First don't worrry. You can always restore it to clean GB or Overcome.

It is important to reboot to recovery and to wipe AFTER flashing to CM7. It has new recovery that will reformat data, dbdata and cache to ext4. This does happen automatically when coming from stock ROM (RFS is detected on first boot and reformatted to EXT4) but it will not happen automatically when coming from other ROM that uses EXT4.

Also, Heimdall flashing was always more reliable for me. In case you want to reformat manually, in my experience formatting with make_ext4fs that comes with Android doesn't always work right,. mke2fs is much more reliable.

Get Heimdall and try again http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/

flash kernel and factoryfs (you can also do cache and dbdata at that time)

reboot to recovery

wipe
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tangcla:
Ok, I'm back, let me try again. Stock GB ROM back in action :)

flashing CM7 now ;)

Flashed, comes up with Galaxy Tab boot screen then a blank page after that :( what did I miss this time? :p
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tangcla:
In case I miss anything... are you able to let me know the command line to run Heimdall?

I've got this so far... does this look right?

heimdall flash --repartition --pit gt-p1000_mr.pit --factoryfs factoryfs.ext4 --cache cache.ext4 --dbdata dbdata.ext4 --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot sbl.bin --kernel zImage
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tangcla:
YEAH! It worked :D no force closes, and I'm now setting up my device!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Great! I am glad it all worked out. Sorry I can't respond faster I am at work now.

@everyone

BTW, it looks like Heimdall can now flash data partition as well. I can create empty data.ext4 flashable via Heimdall and include it in the package, but after decompression its gonna be about 2GB (and it will take long to flash it). But using it will make it possible to do one stop full flash with Heimdall. So what do you guys think?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fastcx:
@tech, been using cm7 beta for 2 days, my ONLY 2 complain are just browser smoothness and battery life, battery side can be fix with kernel further optimization,I will start learn to cook some custom kernel for our cm tab later today,browser side I still find samsung's 2.3.3 browser is the smoother 1,any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tangcla:
I'm using Dolphin Browser HD myself...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
The kernel is pretty much the same as stock GB and it has OC and UV so you can undervolt it. I don't think lernel optimization will fix anything here. The battery life is worse because CM7 is different from stock ROM. Find out what process or device eats the battery and we can try to fix it.

As for the Browser. It is what CM7 provides. I am not going to mess with it since I lack both skill and time to do that. If you come up with any improvements for the Browser I suggest submitting them to CM7 via Gerrit.

Or try Dolphin HD or Firefox.

On my Galaxy S you must have animations set to at least "show some animation" to make it work.

I second the solution of turn your animation speed to normal in Spare Parts.....fast is too fast for the animation to happen. I drove myself mad reflashing several times thinking I had done something weird only to find that fast is too fast for on/off animation

Problems building kernel

Hi,

Following the instructions to build this from scratch, I can build the system image etc with no problems, but my kernel won't boot.

It gets stuck at the Samsung GT-P1000 boot screen. I can adb shell in, and it seems system isn't mounted.

~ # mount

rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)

tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,relatime,mode=755)

devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600)

proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)

sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)

none on /acct type cgroup (rw,relatime,cpuacct)

tmpfs on /mnt/obb type tmpfs (rw,relatime,mode=755,gid=1000)

tmpfs on /mnt/asec type tmpfs (rw,relatime,mode=755,gid=1000)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /data type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc)

If I then use heimdall to flash the pre-built kernel from the tcm7beta, it boots just fine. The following are mounted:

~ # mount

I'm a bit confused... any ideas?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Yes, after KhasMek merges his CDMA stuff into github/cm7sgt and we will port .35 kernel to CDMA we will start pushing it to main CM7 via Gerrit. KhasMek knows these guys much better as well so it will be easier for him to do that.. I am kind of an outsider.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
See dmesg, it shows results of all init.rc commands, find what mount fails first and try to figure out why. Compare init.rc (or even whore initramfs) from the kernel you have built to one in tcm7beta.zip (use kernel extract tools to extract initramfs from both).

Are all the modules there? Did you follow the instructions?

defconfig

modules

build the tree (it will copy modules and create recovery/root)

build the kernel itself?

PM me with your jabber or talk to me in the evening on #cm7sgt on irc.freenode.net
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Both animation scales have to be 0.5 or more or no fancy animation for you.

So if you set the animation times too small in Spare Parts it is back to backlight animation.

final float windowScale = getFloat(WINDOW_ANIMATION_SCALE, 1.0f);
final float transitionScale = getFloat(TRANSITION_ANIMATION_SCALE, 1.0f);
mAnimationSetting = 0;
if (windowScale > 0.5f && mElectronBeamAnimationOff) {
mAnimationSetting |= ANIM_SETTING_OFF;
}
if (transitionScale > 0.5f && mElectronBeamAnimationOn) {
mAnimationSetting |= ANIM_SETTING_ON;

Not sure that's it because I only had wifi on for the adb wireless, I have wifi off most of the time and no sim card in. I'll give it a try though.

EDIT: OK tried that and getting rid of the Phandroid widget all together and still lose music playing after the screen goes to sleep. As I said above it works fine now when plugged into the computer by USB. It seems to only do this when on battery power. If unplug the USB it goes silent seconds after until I push the power button to wake the screen and it picks up in the song right where it left off. Then soon as the screen goes to sleep again silence.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
No matter how much I try I cannot replicate your problem. The A2DP playback is rock solid with my Sony DR-BT50.

I think in your case somehow Bluetooth goes to sleep when the screen powers off. This should not happen and I don't think this behavior would be device dependent either. Since we are running the same software I am really puzzled.

I think there must be some wakelock protecting audio and A2DP from completely going to sleep, so I don't know why it wouldn't work in your case.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Jeffro64:
I agree... I'm as puzzled as you lol. Do you think a complete wipe and reflash might fix the problem or would I just be spinning my wheels?

EDIT: Also... I haven't seen the other two who had the problem say any more, I wonder if they fixed theirs somehow?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Jeffro64:
WOW! Just looked at the Sony DR-BT50 and they are nice, but I need something more compact and sweat proof as I work outside and look as if it's raining all day lol. So these Moto's are great for that... just wish I could figure this problem out.
