How to remove CM7 and return to Overcome 1.4.5?

Hi,

I have had a play with CM7 but want to return to Overcome, I tried booting into recovery but am getting an error E:Can't make /tmp/update_binary when I try to install the .zip.

I also get errors when doing a factory reset withing CM about cant open E:/tmp/recovery.log

Not sure where to go now...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Flash the overcome kernel using Heimdall or Odin, then you'll be able to boot to a working recovery
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] -Howard-:
Will there be more work done to this rom? As i would love a fast fully functioning cm7 rom maybe with the full tablet tweaks too ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lumbard:
Thanks GrammarFreak, flashing the Overcome zImage worked beautifully. Thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ap77:
I know that a little while back there was talk of porting CM7 to the CDMA tabs. Has that died?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BumAround:
Wondering the same thing here... :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zenkinz:
I hope we are going to see some of the basic ones like video driver fixed. Having tried cm7 on my dhd, I am sold ansld would go for this instead of any other Tom including those honeycomb project.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mootmaina:
Hi Technomancer ,

Just checking where the status is of this project. I understand from first post where we are at.

Are you using the CM7.0 Final code tree?

Regards,
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] crazybrker:
So far great rom, cant wait till we get a working recovery mode. It would be nice to switch back and forth from cm7 to the stock on the fly when we need all the features
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] wackymix:
Amin to that
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ssserpentine:
Quick question. I have alot of games and apps that needs 2.3

Is this rom to the point where it recognizes sd cards and plays games?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] crazybrker:
In its current state many apps and games don't recognize the SD card, which leads to some issues. Most of my favorites don't work because of that.

Hopefully he gets that part going in the next update. Techno has done an awesome job up till now. hope he isn't running out of steam. It'd be nice to have a stable version before i ship out to Afghanistan in 6 weeks.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
Sorry if this has been discussed already but did search and couldn't find anything related to the Tab. Has anybody been working on incorporating the CM tablet tweaks into this or another build? Would be great to get a status bar with HC buttons :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] wackymix:
Can we Galaxy Tab owners have something like this prety please ?

Hi people, recently put this ROM onto my Galaxy Tab.

Anybody noticed odd behaviour with Google Reader on it?

I find that when I browse the main article listings the app fills the screen (as you'd expect) but when you select an article, the app window shrinks to what appears to be 640x480. Anyway a lot less than the actual screen size.

Can anybody recommend a good Google Reader feed reader that isn't quite so buggy? XD

Craig
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
That's specifically what I just posted about.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
The tablet tweaks are not all main CM repo yet.

And whats the point of wasting screen space for soft buttons when Galaxy Tab has perfectly working real buttons? The soft buttons are for devices that are missing real ones.

Anyway, if anyone really wants this stuff, just enable it in settings. It is included in latest build.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Update:

2011-04-20

Cleanup of init scripts, added /sdcard and /emmc links.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zenkinz:
Agree it is far more impt to focus on the essential features such as video display and camera.

Is that something you are focusinh right now, or there are something else you trying to fix?

Looking fwd to the cm7 rc version :-D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] wackymix:
i didnt seen that this morning, butstill no answer yet.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Last night I have figured out whats going on with vold (and mounting Tab as USB drive). It was Samsung switch kernel driver reporting "ums online", while vold just wants "online". Why would Samsung change it from default Android behavior is just beyond me. Anyway, fix will be included in next release, probably tonight.

Its time to tackle the camera but I am dreading that ;-(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ck3ml:
Hi, anybody else having problems receiving calls with this ROM?

I'm finding that I can make calls but can't close them. The app says hanging up but call continues. Also finding that I can't receive any calls though I can get data and texts.

Any hints?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thule1291:
Yeah, cannot hang up calls. Bluetooth Headsets not working.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] elnoxvie:
Hi technomancer, Thanks always for.working on the gingerbread.

Sorry, if this question sounds noob. As far as i know we have kernel source code for froyo and all the drivers are there? Out of curiosity, what is making it difficult in fixing the camera and video?

Is there.something diff between froyo and ginger?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] borodark:
I have the problem with receiving calls as well as hanging up the call. Another issue is with wired headset: seams like mic can not pick up the speech - only if I literally "chewing" the mic.

Bluetooth headset gives some kind of distorted sound like a feedback when I speak into it.

I am on Bell modem from JK3
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
yes

I know about Bluetooth headset.

Weird about wired mic. I'll look into that.

Is the problem with starting and receiving new with yesterday's (2011-04-20) build or you guys had it before? If so when did it show up?

I haven't tried using my SIM card for a while, since I use it with my phone. I am using frameworks and Phone app directly from CM7 repo not from cmsgs, so maybe it is missing something. I'll diff the sources.

Galaxy Tab Gingerbread Update Confirmed!

Has anyone seen this: http://www.gizmocrunch.com/android/6546-samsung-galaxy-tab-android-gingerbread

It seems Vodafone Australia has received the Galaxy Tab Gingerbread update from Samsung for testing. Given Technomancer has this CM7 build in the works it's perhaps less exciting but official Gingerbread drivers for the tab should be very useful in getting the camera and other hardware to work with CM7.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] borodark:
I have flashed the former one before last update on 2011-04-20.

And I remember that there was no problem with hangup and not be able to receive the call on even earlier CM7 but the wired headset mic was always an issue.

BTW: wired headset mic works good for VoIP calls but sucks on cellular

How can anyone help you if you provide absolutely no details whatsoever on what your problem is?

I'm sure if you provide clear details on your issue(s) and how you got there someone will help you - the community here is really great. However, I'd suggest if you don't know how to ask for help properly you probably shouldn't be flashing a beta ROM on your tab.

2011-04-21 update

2011-04-21

Fix mounting Tab as USB drive (ums switch in kernel reported "ums online" instead of "online" that vold expects)

Fixed phone calls. Reapply RIL.java and RILConstants.java patches from cmsgs frameworks_base.

The RIL fix is kind of cargo cult programming but it works ;-) It seems to fix some nonstandard RIL messages and other oddities in Samsung RIL.

Official Gingerbread for Tab from Samsung will be very useful for getting CM7 properly working on Tab. I can really use GB kernel and lots of binary drivers from it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
When is the official Gingerbread for the Galaxy Tab going to be available?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] wallah:
hello,

i see this news, but it's in french

http://www.frandroid.com/68207/vodafone-australie-teste-actuellement-la-mise-a-jour-vers-gingerbread-de-la-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-pouces/

maybe it's true ?? :p
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
That certainly looks promising and is dated just two days ago so I think it's only a matter of time before we know if it's true or not...

Let the leaks begin?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] wallah:
I hope soo !!! :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ck3ml:
Receiving calls and hangup was a problem with the previous 2011-04-05 too..

Lol and heck, who needs official (samsung TW tainted) gingerbread when we can have CM7! I don't wanna go back to stock, its like having a brand new super fast tablet.

Official drivers would be handy tho XD

You've done an awesome job with this rom so far technomancer, you got a paypal to donate?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ck3ml:
I'm on Win7 Ultimate 64bit and use heimdall to flash, seems to work just fine for me..

Can you give us any more information on what's going wrong? Errors etc..
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zenkinz:
Ah. Thanks for all the hardwork. Any reason why u prioritize camera over display?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] borodark:
Do you expect the wired mic issue to be fixed? I'll test regardless ...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
I don't think so. I have noticed there are some headset/headphone/mic detection changes that went into CM frameworks/base recently, maybe they messed things up. See this commit https://github.com/teamhacksung/and...mmit/e63f6d7e0b0331a432fb7b312de98b2de32bc67e

I have little Philips mic adapter for headphones, I will try it when I will have some time.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Donkey Kong:
I am currently running the Overcome 1.61 rom and about to flash my tab to this rom but cannot locate the p1.add.hidden.pit file. I am not clear whether it is important to link up all the files (cache.ext4, dbdata.ext4, factoryfs.ext4, zImage, and the missing .pit) with the Heimdall frontend software as the readme.txt file is very brief and states that "just flash zImage and factoryfs.ext4", is that all I need to do?

My Galaxy tab is the Telstra version (not locked) and I do not have an external SD card in the sd port.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
You can grab the pit file from JJ4. data, dbdata and cache get reformatted when you wipe from recovery so no need to flash them. You dont need to repartition if your factoryfs partition size is the same as my factoryfs.ext4.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Donkey Kong:
Ok, do I just add everythings in the compressed file (Cache.ext4, dbdata.ext4, factoryfs.ext4, zImage), and the p1_add_hidden from the JJ4 or do I have to prepare the phone first such as partitioning?

I have put the Galaxy in downloading mode with the 3 buttons combination and loaded up the pit file, factoryfs, zImage, cache.ext4, and dbdata.ext4 but the start button gray out. Windows 7 x64 also announced that the android is ready for use and I am running the Heimdall in admin mode.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
See if adding pbl and sbl from JJ4 or JK5 makes it happy.

hi DK, even i wanna install Overcome ROM onto my galaxy tab.... kindly guide me how i do it step by step.... i tried various methods including step by step guide of Overcome.... but its getting failed at the stage where i flash Overcome kernel...

kindly help me when you r free.... ur help will be highly appreciated. pls....
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
If you're using overcome you don't need to use a pit file. Just stick the .ext4 files in the appropriate places in heimdall and flash

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] RaptorMD:
I wasn't sure where to ask this question, but now that the Galaxy Tab WiFi Only version is out will there be a CM7 option for that model?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] borodark:
Wow! this is kind of a code you can easily loose yourself :eek: - too many IFs !

I can confirm my previous findings:

- wired headset mic has problem during cellular calls: very low sensitivity - have to be kept in less then 5 millimetres from the mouth.

- wired headset mic has NO problem during VoIP calls - tested with native SIP and Fring ...

Where do I submit a ticket? ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Hmm, it has to be something to do with mixer settings. VoIP goes through different paths than voice calls.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Driver issue. Read the readme that came with heimdall ;)

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] maxtcee:

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] -Howard-:
We don't need tablet tweaks yet there are more important things to be fixed before adding things :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] maxtcee:
i agree but if its simple enough why not
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Enable it in Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Tablet tweaks?

And why would you want to waste screen space for soft buttons?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] maxtcee:
Don't care to much for soft keys

I like the bottom taskbar look
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pat123:
Wait..You mean Tablet tweaks are included in your latest build?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Bxsteez:
Is CWM3 working now? Been waiting for that functionality before giving this another try.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Lucky_Charms:
The only use for soft keys would be is if cm7 worked with the HDMI dock. For instance, I have a Logitech dinovo mini keyboard that does not have a home or menu button. Without the button saviour app I would have to get up from my couch to get access to the menu or home.

Can someone running this verify that backup and restore is functional in CWM? I may just flash and try it myself and report back.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
The CWM shipping with my CM7 uses EXT4 for all partitions. I haven't tested backup and restore but I think it should work with other ROMs that are EXT4 based (/system, /data, /dbdata and /cache).

Of course you can always get through adb and tar and untar your data partition manually.

As for video playback, all acceleration should be turned off so it should not show any artifacts.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Alvin Lai:
If I got a protected boot loader, is it possible for me to flash. Any advice?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zenkinz:
hope you will work on the video h/w acceleration feature, or is this an impossible job as long as the gingerbread f/w is not released by SAmsung?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Alvin Lai:
Any help? For signed boot loader
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
The fact you're asking about this suggests to me that you know it won't work. If you know your bootloader is signed you must know about the implications of this. Of course this firmware won't work with signed bootloaders, you need to fix it. There is a fix for this in the stickies

Decided to take the plunge and flash thus beast :D but I'm struck with a few issues

If I choose a pit, Heimdall will grey out the start button

I'm getting an 'error at line -12' message when I try to flash.

Any ideas?

Edit: Sorry, I didn't see someone had posted the exact same error :p

Updated the drivers as the readme said but I'm still getting the same error. Ideas?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] borodark:
Isn't Heimdall a command line tool? What "Start" are we talking about. BTW: the zip contains ./flashme.sh to call Heimdall ...

Sorry! I did not realize there are Windoze version of Heimdall
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
There is also Windows Heimdall that requires drivers, Windows libusb etc.

And he is talking Heimdall GUI (it has been released for Linux too).

I don't even know how it looks like ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
is there a guide written for the heimdall-frontend?

I can't seem to load initially after flashing... all signs say it's good but it will stall at a black screen... i'm not a "noob" by any means, just normally do my flashing through cmw...

i load zimage, dbdata, cache and fs and hit start... goes... blank. no initial boot afterwards, no boot animation... just black
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Try rebooting to recovery.

See if adb works.

What ROM have you had before? What PIT partitions and bootloaders? I recommend starting from JK5 or other custom ROM.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] e82_antiveros:
i tried to install it with heimdall but i get this msg " failed to access device. Error : - 12. " what i am doing wrong?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pendevous:
2 things that were kinda bugged after using this on my Tab:

1. ADW changes the icons back to default despite me changing them to my desired icons. I suspect it's a theme bug, though.

2. Fails to connect to my laptop. I tried it with usb bugging on and off, and the green droid still doesn't appear on my notification bar. Unless CM7 connects differently from CM6 on Magic, it should work, right?

Other than those, it's fast and great overall.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BeauGiles:
This works pretty neat and I absolutely love Gingerbread. I didn't experience aany real issues apart from the abforementioned at the start camera being disabled. Hopefully this will end up rock solid, heck even before Samsung release an official Gingerbread update!

flashed successfully and its running nice -thank you- except:

1-screen rotate in three directions only and the landscape mode only left hand(hard buttons accessed by left hand only)

2- phone APP always running in landscape with no dial soft buttons.

some force closes, i think because i didn't wip my previous rom before.

may you add some instructions and guides for install the rom?

3- couldnt mount USB storge with computer.

4- when disable auto rotate screen go direct to landscape mode

that after 15 miniuts use.

will come back

Bluetooth can discover and connect the headset but when make call hearing only rabesh sound.

Hey Technomancer,

Do you have a keyboard dock for your galaxy tab?

Just wondering as I've noticed when using my dock that sound does not get pushed out when using the headphone jack on the dock..

Not a problem as such (I'll just use bluetooth for sound when docked). Just an odd quirk.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] n2ikola:
Well is there a way out then?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Yes I do have both HDMI and keyboard docks.

I am not sure whether CM7 has anything to poll whether dock is connected and switch audio output. So if the kernel doesn't do it automatically it will be nontrivial to fix.

I've managed to get my Tab into all sorts of unbootable states flashing this rom and others and have always managed to get it working again by restocking.
