It is not that easy to put this port to CyanogenMod.com. It has to go through whole approval process. We will begin that when KhasMek will integrate CDMA stuff into cm7sgt github.

On the positive note, I have integrated SPH-P100 GB kernel release into our kernel tree, so the kernel should build for CDMA (in addition to GSM). It also has benefitted GSM as well (Sammy fixed the usb_connected switch little better than I did, and some other things are fixed as well). I have also begun cherry-picking all relevant commits from beyond 2.6.35.7 (I am up to 2.6.35.10 now). I will make another CM7SGT release when I will get to top of the tree (2.6.35.13). It will of course also include all the latest and greatest from the main CM7 tree.

How do you guys feel about BLN notifications? Should we get those in?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tangcla:
Yes to BLN!

Is there any possibility of an interim build update with some new Cyanogen goodies? Maybe some kernel enhancements? :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alvaradorocks:
+ 1

My build environment failed to give me a good image but I fully support BLNs, they are quite a benefit for devices with no notification leds.

BTW, can I get someone to give me a hand at building my own android source using sgt's git with cm7 and to get it deployed to my device, my info crunching and learning has hit a halt at my 3rd failed attempt. I have yet to brick my tab though :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Are you building from github.com/cm7sgt ?

Whats the problem with your build? PM me or something.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
posted about this countless times. right from day 1, straight from box running stock, 1080p mkv played flawlessly. usimg the stock vid player due to the hardware acceleration the tab is able to use. this current cm7 build, as nice as it is, is still broken it regards to the finer interactions with the hardware as evident from the camera recording being broken (uses the same to encode x264 as it does decode. fix one the other should be close enough too). I gave up and moved on when i realised just how much technical knowledge and time would be required to fix this, to the point of codec specific ro values in the build.prop to fix the absence of proprietary libs and binaries. my understanding of cm7 is that its entire point is to avoid proprietary code to keep a more universal setup. great and noble cause but no help in this case so short of someone picking it up to "polish" the ROM and libs ect I would not hold my breath on it ever being fixed.

could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time and won't be the last no doubt, but that's what my investigations concluded.

Any word on camcorder ? I know its summer and no one wants to mess with scripts in doors but at the same time sure wish I can take videos of the lil ones outside
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
I am painfully aware it is summer. I have been painting my garage for last 3 weekends so I feel it. The next step is painting the garage floor.

The next release will not improve video recording, sorry. It will be mostly kernel improvements.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] maxtcee:
Oh I know how you feel we just did our garage last month put shelves up power washed and painted

And for what garage was a mess again within 2weeks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tangcla:
You should all be glad it's summer... winter over here where I am, miserably cold and wet :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Necrolust:
Just wondering if cm7 on the tab suffers from the RIL issues on the sgs. I'm running cm7 on my sgs and ****ing love it.

But yeah, battery life concerns around the phone/tab not sleeping properly.

Can anyone shed light on this? This thread is huge
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Could you elaborate on RIL issues? We use RIL library from Tab Gingerbread release and we use SamsungRIL.java class the same as other Galaxy devices under CM7. We also slightly modified libaudio from Galaxy S CM7. The battery life we have is definitely worse than stock.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Necrolust:
Well, on the sgs, 3g usage is a huuuuge battery killer as well as higher than stock idle drain. Is this the same on the tab?

[ROM] [GSM] CM7 Gingerbread Beta 2011-06-21 - New issue

Hi,

I have tried everything but i can not seem to get past "Galaxy Tab" screen after flashing CMW build.

I tried switching to heimdall version but tool never recognized my device ( Always throws Error -12 ).

To start with, I used Odin and flashed all pre-requisite ones and it worked great and i had Gingerbread on it.

I moved to CM7 for obvious reason i.e. technomancer did a great job of creating device config for GT and thought of creating my own firmware with my changes on top of it and contribute back.

1. Could able to flash through CMW but got stuck @ first screen. adb shell working .

Mount shows followings

==========================================

rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)

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

====================================

You could clearly see that "system" partition wasn't there and not sure what did i do wrong.

Appreas to be partition thing got goofed but donno how to solve this as i am new to Galaxy Tab kind of build system.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Sorry If it is duplicate post but could not see answer anywhere so posted here.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] yellow_panther:
Hi msrprasad,

Could you post the logcat and dmesg ? (pastebin)

My brother had similary issue, the system partition could not be mounted cause of wrong block count (block count exceeds size of device)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] -Howard-:
And I'm back to CM7 :D forgot how nice it was on the tab... Looks like I need to keep my charger close though :/ wish this would go official ;) and any news on an update tech? :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
That should not happen if the partition was formatted from update.zip. It could be a problem when using Heimdall, but only if someone is using nonstandard PIT.

Try applying the update.zip twice, first time should at least install CM7 recovery which supports ext4 etc. 2nd time should format /system correctly.

Also, before applying the update try logging in using adb and unmount /system manually to be sure it is unmounted. Updated script will do the unmounting automatically.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tangcla:
Would it be possible for a new interim build with a new CM Nightly source please? :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] yellow_panther:
Thanks techno, I'll try to flash twice the update.

It's a long story about my brother's GT, but in short: long time ago he "bricked" his tab, trying some ROMs. Since GB releases from samsung, I could flash (heimdall) CM7 and I got adb and recovery working, so I found that problem. As a workaround, I copied my GT system content and pasted it to my brother's one, right after reformatting system with recovery. And it booted ! :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
yeah, sorry.

tonight. I promise I will not be watching NCIS and I will make the build.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
Great News :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Yom:

Update

2011-07-21

Update to latest.

Merge changes from Sprint GB kernel source release. Merge relevant kernel changes to up to 2.6.35.10.

Not really much here. Lots of kernel changes. Userland updated to latest from git (good stuff like BT PAN and screenshots, yay).

Uhh, crap, it looks like gapps are missing. CM has been removing makefile stuff for gapps integration lately and it is probably broken. Get it from the usual place and flash via recovery.

I think I will have to stop including gapps with the ROM.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tangcla:
Thanks! Will try the CWM version.

Won't lose all my settings, will I?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tangcla:
Flashed it in CWM, worked ok - hten it rebooted and got itself stuck in a boot loop :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] -Howard-:
Thanks for the update teck works fine for me :) i beg someone gets this official support lol only a few kinks to work out :) love CM7
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
try flashing with heimdall. but before that, get logcat from the bootloop and send it to me (post on pastie.org and PM me the link for instance).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tangcla:
I reflashed it over the top in CMW and it was fine, weird. I'll monitor it for a while and if it dies again, I'll let you know.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Damn, I hate flashing via CWM.

Make sure you install gapps. It looks latest changes in CM common.mk broke copying of gapps to image. So grab the gb 06/13 gapps from here http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Shiftyshadee:
Okay this may be a dumb question so please don't kill me if it is. I run my VZW tab WiFi only and I'm currently running rooted Sprint GB on it since radio doesn't come into play for me. Is it at all possible for me to run this?

Sent from my VerizoSprint Tab
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
No, you cant, the kernel and bunch of other things have to be different.

KhasMek is working on CDMA CM7 but I haven't heard from him recently. I think he is cheating on us with his 10 inch Tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Shiftyshadee:
Lol I think he is too. That thread hasn't been updated in quite a while. Thank you for the quick response.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
I can try doing some test builds for CDMA (since I merged the kernel) but I would be flying blind, since I have no way to test it. PM me if anyone is ready to mess up their tab and can use heimdall, adb and possibly serial console on their CDMA tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] slimdizzy:
Just flash and reflashed the latest build and some bugs for me are:

Home and search buttons dont work

Lockscreen not working

Update: third flash and all good
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Huh. How are they "not working"?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] slimdizzy:
Updated my post and should note i was coming from BOCA.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] maxtcee:
Is the latest version gapps in this update or do I need to update with the file from 3 posts above?

edit clockwork didnt work for me either it would boot up then after 3 seconds reboot 3 seconds reboot
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
gapps are not included. please get it from http://goo-inside.me/gapps/

they probably will not be included in future builds either.

Are you planning on adding in video GTalk as I don't see it currently in your 7/20 CM7 rom. If not could we add a download to your first post with the needed files to enable it?

PS logcat or gtfo
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
@slimdizzy

gapps are not distributed with CM7 anymore. please get it from http://goo-inside.me/gapps/

I think they have older GTalk here. So just get whatever version you need, remount and replace the APK.

@bml5631

No BLN yet.

@abhisvnit

I haven't seen Phone app force closes. I recommend wiping after first CM7 install.

@Suprah

You probably can flash from overcome CWM since it should support ext4.

In case of trouble flash it twice, second time you will be already using CM7 CWM. Do not forget to reboot back to CWM and wipe after flashing.

But in my experience flashing from Heimdall works much better. Again, remember to reboot to CWM and wipe after the flash.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Suprah:
yea ive tried to flash via overcome cwm then via cm7 cwm and still no go. dont really feel like downloading another program on my cpu to jus load a rom
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
The "no go" part describes the problem you have in too much detail. I'll try to meditate on it. In meantime, try describing what you did, what was the result and post logcat of your system boot and list of mounted partitions (run adb shell and type mount).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Suprah:
no go meaning i keep getting force closures at boot up. it completely boots but at android man screen its says "BT something" and it kept force closing.

first i was on overcome rom so i used it's cwm to wipe cache and factory reset and dalvik then flashed cm7. it booted then had continuous force closures

so i manage to shutdown tab and boot into recovery and did the same procedures and then flash cm7 again. it booted with same problem
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] robkoehler:
every 5 pages or so in this thread is the same thing. either you're fine with working with heimdall or you're not. simple as that. cwm has never worked for me, but heimdall works everytime (and it's not that big of a deal to use)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Suprah:
I understand but my main concern is hard bricking my tab

Its not like my g2x where as long my stock recovery is replaced with cwm, then theres no worry about bricking
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Suprah:
yeaa... heimdell looks complicated to use... will stick with overcome rom until op can make a working cwm flashable version without error

Wifi Problem with new update.

Guys, this might sound strange but I have to ask.

After I tried the latest CM7 update, my wifi is locking up after some 10 minutes or so of not using the Tab. (sleep policy set to: never)

What happens is it still shows connected, but no communications at all. If I try to disconnect from the Access Point I can't get back in. If I try to disable Wifi I can't enable it again, just "Error". Rebooting gets wifi back. I didn't find anything relevant to me in logcat.

What I did: Installed the ZIP update ofter the previous CM7 I had been using for weeks. That said, it flashed with Technomancer's kernel, which will not work on my Tab cause it's a P1000N. So I just flashed humberos' kernel right after it.

Right then Wifi would not even start up... tried a few things but figured the new kernel here was needed for the upgrade, humberos' kernel was made for the previous version. So I went back to my old CM7, flashing everything except boot and modem. Wifi worked, but the simptom above started.

Humberos suggested I started fresh from stock GB, and I did. Now with pure stock GB (full flash) the simptom remains but I can disable and enable Wifi again.

Any ideas? :confused:

UPDATE : I think wiping batt stats solved it. How can that make sense?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Suprah:
I gave up trying heimdall too scared of hard bricking my tab
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
You can't brick it unless you flash PBL or SBL.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Suprah:
Any video tuts on how to use heimdell?.....
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] yellow_panther:
I don't think you need a video to achieve this...

Just install heimdall, unzip tcmbeta.zip and flash your tab with the following command :

If you come from other ROM :

heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.ext4 --cache cache.ext4 --dbdata dbdata.ext4 --kernel zImage

I you want to update CM7 Beta:

heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.ext4 --kernel zImage

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Suprah:
now the home button is not working

if i wanted to flash back to overcome rom, i can just restore nandroid backup?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] k0sh:
if u wanna endup hard bricked , please do nandroid restore

Do Not Restore Your System By NanDroid BackUp is it clear ?

flash back to ginger and then to overcome to avoid any lags and to satisfy your tab :p

only problem you wont be able to see your stats maybe with a Sony LiveView :p
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thorinside:
I confirm that this will run on a Rogers P1000RUXJJ6. I didn't repartition though, so a few things were wonky as I just wanted to try things out for a bit.

My observations: Graphics seemed quantized, so maybe not running with the same bit depth I'm used to. I didn't install the Google Apps, but I did download Google Maps and noticed that the nice vector based drawing and 3D buildings were gone. So I'm guessing some more video driver issues. But, it was super nice to see all of the streamlined Gingerbread graphics going on. For a while I was unable to add my Google Account because it said to rotate the phone and use the physical keyboard. I rebooted the Tab and then I could use the on-screen keyboard.

Because I didn't repartition, Clockwork Recovery couldn't find any of my partitions... I didn't have a way to install the Google apps because of this. I might get the courage up to actually perform a repartition at some point.
