Wow!! That i did not know. That seems like a problem. I would think google wouldn't want to make apps incompatible from build to build. Oh well... As long as we have root we are good to go.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Azhad:
Maybe, but I have CM7 on 3 different phones and I've got /sdcard on all three. Putting that folder there for compatibility sake isn't a bad idea.

Point of fact I got a init.d script that symlink /sdcard to /mnt/sdcard and even remount the internal sd to /mnt/sdcard and the external one to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd as I like it in this way (so I can have all the app's data in a permanent memory and clean sd cards that I can swap out without fear of missing some data)

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dkelley:
much appreciated. I asked because someone was pointing out a question by the OP (is that you?) regarding the camera working in the latest build updates, or something like that. it's probably from a week ago and obsolete now LoL.

cheers and thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dkelley:
sorry for jumping in blind, but /sdcard really isn't there by default in cm7? that's odd. certainly would be a problem. how about creating a symlink? would that be a workaround?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Froyo had symlink from /sdcard to /mnt/sdcard

I believe in Gingerbread Google made a decision to remove it completely, as they promised. All init.rc scripts for GB I have seen do not symlink /mnt/sdcard to /sdcard anymore.

I could add it back, but I will not, since apps should not be using hardcoded locations. Devs had enough time to fix that in their apps.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dkelley:
true, but in my gb-on-hero testing it explains at least in part why so many apps are broken in gingerbread. especially apks that link to resource folders on the sdcard (which is a lot of games and the occasional app).

I agree with your reasoning, but think that for the sake of making it run as many apps as possible the "I'm not going to create a symlink because everyone else should fix their code instead of me adding one line to this rom's build.prop" concept is a little hard to defend against a horde of crazy developers who hard coded their sdcard links LoL

(just kidding :-)

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] david_kurtovic:
i have a problem...

I just flashed this ROM ...

And it boots fine.

But...

Then comes the Pin Code screen ... in LAND SCAPE ... so I can't see the "OK" button.

That means i see the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 but only the half of 7,8 and 9... OK and Cancel are invisible, so I can't start the system.

what should I do? Rotating doesn't work.

Thx
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Aww, I havent tried pincode lockscreen.

Apps like lockscreen, dialer and some other things always start in default orientation which for Tab is landscape.

In Froyo I could set ro.sf.hwrotation = 90 and patch one place in input layer to rotate touchscreen events and make portrait the default, but in Gingerbread I haven't found a way how to rotate touchscreen events properly. ro.sf.hwrotation works but input events are broken in rotated mode ;-(

So sorry, I don't know how to fix it yet. You can try wiping data and dbdata and not using pincode lockscreen. I will definitely make portrait mode default the moment I will find out how to rotate the touchscreen events properly.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Azhad:
In the cyanogen mod settings you can set the pincode to function without having to use the ok button.

Be aware that when using that, every deletion of a digit count as an error.

P.s.

To use it the first time put the sim in another phone and disable the pin code security at start.

All the information is here in the Galaxy Tab forums, search! Guides are good and will also tell you what software you require to flash usually with the links required to download.

I strongly suggest that you research carefully then research again to make sure you fully understand what is required. Once you know the steps required flashing is relatively easy and will improve your Tab.

If you don't understand or have doubts then don't flash because you risk turning your Tab unusable.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] aidicula:
Good news is I managed to get CM7 installed on my tab..most of it works fine..i came across a problem which i coudlnt find a solution for in the forum...the phone application is on landscape the whole time, how do i get it to potrait??
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Cal-El:
you need to edit the build. prop with root explorer. The line will be under the LCD density. It will be set at 0 use 180 or 360 only, setting it at 90 will cause issues with the screen where it will appear at one angle but when you touch the screen it will pick somewhere else on the screen. Very hard to get it back at that point LOL.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
No no no, changing the LCD Density will not help. What you're referring to is hwrotation. I'd advice no to mess with this

Samsung mounted the screen in such a way that the device perceives what we see as landscape as portrait. It's currently unfixable, for reason ol' Technomancer has explained.

Does cyanogen work on sprint tablet?If not does anyone know of any that will?Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cruiserbax:
I got it to run but it has sdcard issues, no gps and radio problems so it's not at all practical on a CDMA Tab but that is no surprise as it clearly states that in the OP. great work so far though!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Landroid:
any news for the overlay driver? what needs to be done? hardcoding?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Right now I am getting error message from FIMC driver in kernel when overlay driver calls STREAM_ON ioctl. It looks like at this point the kernel driver tries to reserve some memory for the overlay and decides there is not enough memory.

And everything goes downhill from there ;-(

It doesn't seem like it wants very large surface either.

I have yet to see if it possible to increase size of the memory pool it is using.

Kernel debugging on Tab is rather annoying, because I have to put printks and reflash the kernel for anything that I want to debug.

Has anyone managed to use kernel debugger, gdb or something like this on Tab?

sprint galaxy tab compatability? really wanna make phone calls off my tab x_x
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dkelley:
don't know about sprint, but to make phone calls off your tab you don't need this particular firmware (maybe it works, maybe not, but I'm running overcome 1.2.0 and flashed the bell modem to get voice working on my tab). but mine's not sprint so I'm not sure how it works for you.

I think voice works on several fws, and success depends upon being a euro firmware with a working modem for your tab/carrier.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] foxmeister:
Be careful here!

Sprint is *not* a GSM carrier, it uses CDMA (as does Verizon), and flashing a GSM radio on a CDMA device is generally not a good idea. It definitely won't work, and it may end up bricking the device (though I'm not certain this is true of the Tab).

Quite apart from there being no known CDMA radio that supports voice (as far as I'm aware), the other issue that Sprint and Verizon users face is that the ESN of their device won't be tied to a plan with any kind of voice capability, and it would probably be extremely difficult to get them to enable it.

Regards,

Dave

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Suprnova_:
This might be a really stupid question, but I have to ask.

I have flashed this beta on my P1000 yaay, but when fixes and improvements are released how do I

1. Get them?

2. Install them, do I have to flash it again?

Anyway, BIG thx for this, I love it already.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Yes, I release new builds by replacing the archive with new one and posting a bump reply and update to first post.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bhutani99:
PLs help and send me the link how do you do that
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Suprnova_:
So when something gets updated I only have to download the .zip file again, or do I have to go to github and download files?

Sorry for these newbiequestions.

Still love what you're doing.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Tetreaul:
Just flashed it...

Is there any specific feedback/testing you're looking for?

Edit:

So... When you guys say first start may take a while... How long do you mean? I have been waiting 15+ minutes and it's still looping the cyanogenmod 7 splash screen.... Did I do something wrong?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
read teh first post and readme file and format the data partition.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Tetreaul:
Hey Technomancer, I appreciate the reply... I had already done both of those things!

I recently installed the Overcome ROM and it upgraded everything to EXT4. I think that was the problem... I flashed back to Roto v4, then flashed your ROM again and now it is booting properly.

So, like I said before I was having issues... Is there any feedback/testing you are looking for specifically?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Not really, I know what is broken for now and I am plenty busy trying to fix overlay and camera.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] howtodoo?:
Hey i own a verizon tab and wanna give cm7 a try. im running Boushh's newest v3 kernel "oc 1.4ghz", im most positive im converted to ext4 at least the chick in voodoo cmw said so, alone with the info from the log files... so if i flash just factoryfs.ext4 in the factoryfs slot would that be all i have to do? if i flash just this will it mess my modem up? sorry to ask but what is data.rfs i downloaded the cm7 file to my comp and have it unzipped id like to know what information is in each file i.e

cache.rfs- consists of??

data.rfs-consists of ??

factory.ext4 i guess is the rom bc its the biggest file lol but i guess wrong alot

i know zimage is the kernel. any info would be shaaweet and greatly appreciated. i have googled this stuff but cant seem to get direct info, it brings me to xda or droidforums. my google search is worded like so " WHAT IS FACTORY.RFS AND it brings me back to the xda forums where people mention it but i dont get the info i want. sorry to be a pain in the a$$ guys and thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
For now my CM7 is EXT4 /system and RFS for everything else.

ROM Manager instead of Heimdall

So I apologize in advance if this is a taboo question, but I have to ask:

Can ROM Manager be used to load this onto the Tab?

Using instructions at TheUnlocker.com I have ROM Manager installed, so was just wondering.

FYI, Finally I've compiled from source CM7 to GalaxyTab.. now I'm kidding a litter with things..

I can share how I modify it in source and Technomancer can test it. I don't want to mess up cm7 thread with this compiled version. for example, i can't compile that with gapps.. there's something wrong and its just for test.

I've changed keyguard.xml from /frameworks/base/core/res/res/layout

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent"

to

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] suprajztwenty:
referring to the bricked tab on page 33...if a tab wont turn on period, the special resistor cable/trick wont do anything...atleast from what i read when it happened to my first gt. if i remember correctly, it only works when youre stuck at the t-mo screen or (insert carrier here) screen

just wanted to give a huge thanks to techno for working on this effort. i went and noticed this is 2.3.3, almost all the cyano settings work, spare parts are in...all like the phone version, i was a bit surprised that it works as well as it does. now i have a "giant" android to match my g2 perfectly, its cool to have the same stuff on both.

so again, much appreciated sir! keep up the great work

Hey when will be the next release?

I'm expecting very soon so I wouldn't have to flash an unstable version for now :)

Thank you
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Sorry to hear that. Flashme is a shell script that calls heimdall executable to flash the ROM. Why did you flash it to PBL? You bricked your tab. You will need to buy JTAG adapter and software or find a person who has it to flash the PBL via JTAG, The only person I know of who did flash their bootloaders via JTAG is rotohammer so maybe PM him for advice.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Status update

Well my new Inspire 4G is unlocked and flashed with rooted ROM and all the software is set up so I can start messing with my Tab little more. I hope to make another release in couple days. Please do not expect significantly improved stability or more features. The camera and overlay driver sources I have for CM7 are for .35 Nexus S kernel and don't work too well with .32 kernel we have for Tab.

The binary GL driver and gralloc from Froyo also dont work too well with CM7. I will try to backport pvrsrvkm from .35 to 32 so maybe I will be able to use binary GL driver from Nexus S but I am not sure it will work.

.32 kernel is becoming a limiting factor. Unfortunately I don't have enough knowledge and time to port .35 kernel to Tab. So we have to wait for Samsung to release GB and .35 kernel sources for Tab so we can get their binaries for drivers or wait for someone to work on the kernel.

Question to devs out there. Did anyone try serial port for kernel debugging?

Does anyone know what pins on 30pin connector or on the internal connector are used for serial port? Or is it 523K ohm resistor and D+/D- lines on USB?

I ordered bunch of Tab USB cables and Nokia DKU-5 cables that can be hacked for use as low power serial and I will try to splice serial cable so I could maybe see bootloader and kernel dmesg on serial terminal.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Landroid:
what about building a .35 kernel from nexus s / galaxy s CM7 source? *should* not be too hard as they share the same hardware...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
A lot is shared but LCD driver, sensors, touchscreen is different, these drivers would have to be ported. Also Nexus S uses MTD so whole storage/RFS layer needs to be ported and it is closed source modules. There is now leakder GB for Galaxy with .35 kernel an RFS modules so at least it is possible but I wouldn't start messing with it without serial port and gdb.

I tried disassembling HDMI dock but there is no useful connectios for serial.

I got bunch of USB cables and disassembled the connector. I can remove the blades from the connector and push them into different slots so maybe I can make serial cable, waiting for DKU-5 cables now. It will probably need a resistor between accessory ID pin (and ???, maybe GND?) and GND and TXD and RXD lines.

I have moved everything to my git repo for now and I am sourcing rest of the stuff from teamhacksung repo. Also kernel build is better integrated into Android build system now.

I've got a (big) problem with my Galaxy Tab.

Tried to flash CM7, using Heimdall, but something went wrong.

After reboot it stucks in CM Boot Logo so I wanted to try the walkaround but there is the beginning of the problem. I can't connect via adb to my device and in the recovery menu I get following messages:
