Wow, what a difference 400 MHz makes! I use my Verizon Tab for watching video, mostly baseball and hockey games and almost always it streams using Flash. Before flashing the first thing I would have to do is tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap until the browser noticed me and then tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap until the video quality control noticed and I was able to knock the video down to the lowest quality. Then it would play well. NOW it plays well at top quality. Not only do I not have to spend 10 minutes setting the quality so it plays, it looks great! I had absolutely no problem getting the new kernel on the unit and I've had absolutely no problems with it since putting the kernel on the unit. Kudos!

Hey. I am a sprint user. I tried to flash this kernal... but I was stuck at samsung boot logo screen and a weird lady voice saying something in the begining. Could you please explain what u did to make it WORK??? What do I have to have before flashing this kernal.. and how do I flash this kernal. Ima noob.. please help.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] futuregerald:
did the voice say that anything failed? did you create backups before you went to install it?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tedum88:
I haven't backed up anything. All I did was I rooted uaing the one click root. I tried to install clockwork mod with rom manager but guess sprint can't flash cwm through rom manager. So I just flashed the kernal straight after rooting.. I couldn't make anything out of the voice either. What did I do wrong? Now I use odin to go back to stock rom
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] beeroatsnp90x:
I never got a woman voice saying anything..but wasn't really paying that much attention. My kernel is listed as 2.6.32.9 boushh@portalhobbix #1. Is that correct? And I am also getting many force closes after installing some apps

I noticed that I get force closes because of changing the lcd density. Tried 2 different apps and both caused issues
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cruiserbax:
Sure, (ALL APPS AND DATA WILL BE LOST) you have to convert to ext4 first and as a new user the most simple way is to use the verizon bootstrap app from the market. Flash bootstrap from within the app tjen clock reeboot recovery when done. It will boot into cwm and start auto backup but fail and leave you in cwm. In cwm do a factory reset and clear cache then select advanced and then reboot recovery. It will reboot back into cwm and backup again this time finishing. Once done reboot system and install sgs kernel flasher from the market and flash this kernel using sgs kernel flasher then reboot system. I use setcpu to limit cpu speed to 800MHz while not using flash player and stuff to save battery but even running at 1400MHz full time the battery still lasts a long time. To get back into cwm to do a backup or something just install terminal emulator from the market and run "reboot recovery"
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] beeroatsnp90x:
For anyone wanting to change the density I recommend editing the build.prop instead of any apps. It fixed all my force close problems.

Can someone share their voltage control app settings?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
The build.prop isn't modified by this kernel, it's modified by my ROM.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] beestee:
Are there any backup procedures that you would recommend before flashing this kernel? I am very anxious as a CDMA tab user to get a taste of that performance our GSM friends have been raving about, I just don't want to screw something up.

Do you know if the "sgs kernel flasher" from the market actually works with the CDMA tabs? It seems the simplest solution if it does indeed create a restorable kernel backup for the tab. Then once I have flashed KashMek kernel I assume I can use CWM to set up a safe backup.

EDIT:...or does CWM need to be done seperately through koush's method beforehand? That route seems a bit too shakey for my tastes currently.

EDIT2:...I bit the bullet and now have CWM on my tab. Now to work up the courage to put this kernel on there...maybe after some sleep :)

P.S. Thanks for your hard work on this Boushh!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] beeroatsnp90x:
Yeah oops wrong section. Anyway weird thing happened, I turned off my tab and when I powered it back on, a black screen of death came up. Never booted back fully after that...hmm going back to old kernel
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] buhlerbuhler:
I had the same problem as you both are having after flashing this kernel on my sprint tab, but I odin'd back to stock fine.. I don't know why you sent your's back.

Samsung Vibrant

Current Rom:

Working Front Facing Camera

Latest Clockwork Recovery

150+ apps
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Coolsaber57:
Er....if you had the same problem, then you would have sent it back as well as it wouldn't boot past the VZW logo.

I tried my damndest to get it to boot, but it just wouldn't.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] beestee:
Using your process you did not mention clearing the cache after flashing the kernel with sgs kernel flasher...would this be good or not or does it not matter since the cache was cleared during the CWM process?

EDIT: Up and working great without clearing the cache again ;)

Also using setCPU per your recommendation as you have not led me astray so far :D

And thanks again Boushh, the kernel is working great for me so far!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] markgamber:
I'm afraid I started getting a lot of forced closes, also. Restart, the Dolphin is force closed. Restart, the voice control is force closed. Restart, the voltage control app is force closed, etc. It didn't seem to be getting any better and 1.4 GHz chews through battery so I had to go back to stock.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gordesky1:
I have the sprint tab with bauxite kernel, And would love to have this kernel on it but to get it installed is it as easy as just flashing it with heimdall? Or do i need to install cwm and ext4? I don't want ext4, Just want the kernel installed.

But i also don't want a brick tab.

Oh and i also have a stock backup of the kernel if that means anything if the kernel doesn't work not sure if that would recover it?

Thanks:)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Shiftyshadee:
How exactly do I go about flashing the AOSP email file? It's a .7z extension and I'm not familiar with that one. Apologies for the noobish question.

Sent from my SCH-I800
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] futuregerald:
Samsung shipped out a replacement tab for me :D so I should get it Friday and hopefully have all this setup and working that same night(if work isn't too busy)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gordesky1:
have some bad news.. i flash it with heimdall and it said something about partitioning with a voice after that and it never booted after that so i power it down and booted and it kept saying it..

So i tried pretty much every kernel and it stuck at the samsing splash screen..

than i tried clockwork verizon kernel which got my sprint tab too boot in clock work and i saw clear cache so i clear that but now its stuck at the samsung spash screen and it wont go back in clock work:(

Is there anyway to recover from this with out sending it back to samsung?

Oh i still could get into download mode.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Shiftyshadee:
My only issue so far is I get an intermittent "sleep of death". The screen will go to sleep and actually power off the tab. Anyone else experience this?

Sent from my SCH-I800
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Coolsaber57:
That is EXACTLY the problem that I had. I never ended up fixing it, it's on its way to Samsung.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gordesky1:
Great....

So the op don't know how to fix this problem?

it seems like it just wont take any kernel now i tried all and it just keep getting stuck at the samsung screen.

seems like the kernel partition the device and now it wont see any kernel..

is there a stock firmware i can download or something? or maybe it needs reparttion some how?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Coolsaber57:
Ha, sorry man, I tried everything, but no luck.

I know there's Sprint firmware around here somewhere as well as full VZW firmware. The only thing is, you can't flash the modem.bin file as you won't get 3g anymore.

You can try repartitioning (as a very last resort), but both my Odin and Heimdall failed/froze trying to do so.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gordesky1:
how do i do the reparttion?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alex2792:
You need the pit file that comes with the firmware.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gordesky1:
Just contacted hsn were i bought it and they said they will replaced it with a new one and its out of the 30days period but they said they got around that for me.

And they said i can keep the sd card because i have my stuff on it.

But the thing i hate they said it can take up to 21days to get the tab back to them not sure why that long and 10days back to me...

Not sure if i shouldve went threw samsung instead maybe it would be faster..

But think im gonna stick with bauxite oc kernel next time because i don't want this happening again.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alex2792:
Contact samsung they will get you a new tab in 5 to 7 days.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gordesky1:
i contacted samsung and they told me i have to call to explain what happen... so i will give them a call when i have time,

But in the mean time i found a firmware and pit file and loaded it in with odin and it detects com3 port when the tab is off and when i click start it just stays on setup connection... So i tried download mode and odin doesint detect the tab for the com3...

How can i get pass this? it seems like this will work if i could get it to flash.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alex2792:
If odin isn't working you can try heimdall as well.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gordesky1:
when i try heimdall it lets me flash the kernel but when i select the pit file and pda/code the start button is blank out... If i unchecked them it shows the start button active.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gordesky1:
wait i got it working for the factoryfs and param and cache and it flashed and it got pass the first samsung screen and loaded that flash samsung screen than went to the samsung screen again and its buzzing, so it seems like its not brick, But not sure what its telling me when its buzzing?

K i installed the clockwork kernel and i got it booted into clockwork recovery and it just did a backup but not sure what i am suppose to do? But looks like i might could recovery this sense i know this isn't bricked if it can do this.

I just went to one of my backup kernels and tried to get into the android system recovery 3e and it works and it says this stuff

reboot

apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition.

would anyone of thoes bring back this to life?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ekoandrew:
check your screen timeout setting, change it higher, if that helps out.

if not, it maybe an internal battery drain, recently seen some refurb Tab(s), have similar problems. plus friends say they been receiving similar tab with that problem for around 2000 of them in Western USA. The fix is to replace the Battery and a Internal Piece of something not mention.

Taking this Tab apart is quiet easy, use a Plastic Tab for openning iTouch or similar, and a small security screw to open the bottom two screw near the speaker.

Well, if you do decide to open Tab!! head over to iFixit.com, they have direction how to open it!! Very useful site!! I use it to pry every toy I got!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] beestee:
Wipe cache and wipe data/factory reset can work wonders when dealing with new kernels/roms it seems...in fact I think it is necessary. What have you got to lose at this point? You nearly repartitioned!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gordesky1:
K gonna try that and will report back with hopefully good news, ya at this point i don't care about the data i just want it back to normal now.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
Flashing a kernel will never cuase a brick. I have a new version of the kernel with a fully functional recovery (unlike koush's) coming out tonight or in the morning (depending on how tired I get. It's mostly done ) that will make this entire process painless, so I'd recommend to just hold tight for a bit.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gordesky1:
Thats good to here:)

I also have really great news!

After I flashed the sprints no modem firmware and loaded one of my save firmwares I wasint sure if I shouldve wipe the data/factory and like beestee said I pretty much have nothing to loose at this point so I did the data wipe/factory and it booted and went right to android with everything freshed and even 3g works lucky I didint flash the.modem.

But everything is back too normal and now I dont have too send it back which I haveto contact hsn and tell them everything is perfect now:)

I get a link of the stock firmware and more info when I get back on my pc which right now im on the tab at work and its kinda hard to type everything and hopefully this info will help others.

Boushe so with the new verison you going too post It will be.more easyer to install and shouldint be much problems?

Think my problem was that when I loaded your kernel I didint have clockwork which I tried to get installed but wouldint work, so I figured it should work anyways but nope it got stuck at the install with a voice saying patitioning 25% something and didint do anything, so the problem problee was because I couldint clear cache and factory reset?

Also do I need too have ext4 for it too work?

Sorry about the typos if theres any I cant type to well on the tab hehe.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] beestee:
This kernel will not work without ext4 to the best of my understanding. My guess is that this is the culprit of your issue. Read through cruiserbax' instructions in the Clockwork Mod Recovery thread on how to get through the ext4 conversion a time or two, have them handy, and try again.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gordesky1:
Will read threw that when I get home to.my pc:)

Ya I didint know I needed ext4 because the front page didint say anything about needing ony that it supports it.

I just thought it was a quick kernel flash and that was it but I was wrong. . Lol

But I am really glad I got it back working just wish I thought of this sooner with flashing the firmware. . But I couldint find it at first.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ekoandrew:
Just a reference you should spot on, seems like Boushh ROM and his Kernel stuff are all related to each other, all runs on ext4

[VZW]KhasMek's K-leanMod v2- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=941749
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
Okay, I'm too tired to update my first post with detailed instructions. This kernel has a full working vooodoo recovery that means,

flashing zip's (roms, themes etc work, remember, they have to be compatible, be sure to check, there currently are none for us. I'll fix that soon.)

clearing the dalvik cache works. This is what was messing with a lot of you when trying to flash my roms or kernels, now you can just boot into recovery, go to the advanced menu and click clear dalvik cache. Of course, clearing the normal cache works now too.

you do not need to have ext4 (or koush's recovery) flashed to use this. Yes, you will hear the robot lady talk to you, listen to her, she says she's converting the system to enable voodoo :)

there's probably some other stuff too, I'm kinda tired. Through the next couple days I will be cleaning up the rest of the code and speeding it up a bit. Let me know what you think.

http://bit.ly/eNxyXB http://bit.ly/ev2DSx http://bit.ly/gJKl0E http://bit.ly/escwiS http://bit.ly/e5F83G some screen shots. Don't browse that site too much if your at work/school/church/library/funeral/court/etc.

To flash this you will need to flash with heimdall both kernel and recovery, I recommend the command line

heimdall flash --recovery KhasMek.Voodoo.plus.CDMA.Tab.v3.OC.zImage --kernel KhasMek.Voodoo.plus.CDMA.Tab.v3.OC.zImage

I haven't tried tried flashing via the gui, but it *should* work. I'll try and make an Odin package tomorrow. Also, This will be a one time thing. All the flashing from here on out we can do easily by recovery! Over the next while I will get stock packages together of our builds so it will be easy to return to stock if need be and we can be done with heimdall headaches. (note: I love heimdall, really. but flashing on the mobile is what it's all about)

Also, this is only the oc'd version, wait till tomorrow if you want the regular one. I think it would be a good idea to compile some stock kernels (with the addition of ext4 support) with this recovery for anytime anyone has issues with voodoo, so I will probably do that tomorrow too.

DOWNLOAD

Also, let get some good theme ports going for our tabs now! There are so many excellent tutorials on this forum! :D

Okay, I'm going to sleep now. It looks like it's going to be another full day of fun. :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jaydon34:
Update: did a system wipe, cleared cache again and this baby booted up. Had to listen to my wife nag me while trying to get this puppy up and running. She claims I tinker to much, she was almost right. So far so good and thank god it had the the recovery that saved my life!

Old:

I flashed the newest rom today that I thought didn't require ext4 but now I'm stuck at the samsung logo. I can get into recovery mode, I've cleared dalvik cache and cleared data. I'm not sure why this won't work.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] futuregerald:
thank you!

Thank you, I really appreciate all your hard work, I leave a tab open with this thread at home and at my office to keep up with it. I was just wondering though if this has been tested on the Sprint tab? Also is there an easy way to backup using your recovery or are we still stuck with rotobackup(manual)? I don't mean to sound as though I don't appreciate what you have already done, I'm simply curious and being cautious since I already bricked my last tab and my new one should be getting here tomorrow.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Coolsaber57:
Sweet! that would be wonderful!

Also, so basically, using this kernel you can take a stock VZW tab, flash the kernel and recovery and you'll have ext4, voodoo, recovery, and OC? Awesome!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jaydon34:
I'm running this on the sprint tab. As you can see I ran into a little trouble in my above post but this baby is flying now. So far I love it and I haven't been getting freezes/reboots as I did with bauxites kernel.

Thank god for the community because the tab is a dead fish without it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] beestee:
I wonder if the SGS Kernel Flasher app method works for this new version coming from rooted stock? I know it worked with the previous version once I already had ext4 in place. I imagine if anyone wishes to try it out, it would still be prudent to run the backup in SGS Kernel Flasher and offload it from the sdcard before attempting.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
Yes, it's insanely easy. All you have to do is boot into recovery, go to backup/restore and run a backup, all done. :D

Exactly correct.

I need to test to see where exactly the SGS Kernel Flasher writes too because I'm not sure it writes to both the kernel and recovery partitions, which is an important bit. However, if you try and it doesn't write to the partition, it should still work just fine just if you ever do an adb reboot recovery, you will go into the stock recovery, and no one needs that.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gordesky1:
k i went threw with it again and i herd the voice again she said she was converting the data than the system went pass the samsung screen but kept staying at the sasmung logo blinking every 5secs,

So i went into voodo recovery which works now:) and did the system wipe and dalvik wipe and when i rebooted it again i herd the voice again which keeps going on every time i run the device on saying something about converting system and its hard to understand but i think i herd she said she cant convert or something about no space even tho there is? But ya im still stuck on the 2nd samsung screen...

do i have to do wipe cache partition too?

think she says coverting data partition not enough space or data on partition..

Hmm i see this line that you said To flash this you will need to flash with heimdall both kernel and recovery, im not sure what you ment about the recovery but i don't have a recovery file to flash with the kernel so i ony did the kernel.

Or do i use the kernel file in the recovery box to?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gordesky1:
any idea why it keep saying converting data partition than she says not enough space on data partition?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
yes, you use the same file in both places, also, like I said, I recommend using the command line, which I have the exact command you need to enter.

Is your SDcard full, because that's where it moved files over to in the conversion process.

and yes, wipe your cache................................................................................................................................

Also, this kernel should work with voodoo/ext4 disabled, just go into the voodoo options of recovery and set the /system lagfix and voodoo lagfix to disabled.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gordesky1:
Yep my sd card is empty which i formatted it before i did the flash

And i tried wiping both caches and that didn't help:(

i also re flash using the file in recovery with the kernel box and still getting the lady voice at the beginning saying not enough space even tho my sd card is empty and i also tried another sd card which she says the same thing

You sure verizons and sprints the same? because when i tried to mount the sd card in recovery it loaded on my pc and it showed up as a cdrom than went away, that's the same problem i was having with bauxite till he made it a sprint version and it worked perfect.

so maybe its trying to see the sd card but cant get to it.

update i just did what you said Also, this kernel should work with voodoo/ext4 disabled, just go into the voodoo options of recovery and set the /system lagfix and voodoo lagfix to disabled.

And it booted but does that mean voodo isin't on?

and again i have sd card showing as a cdrom when i mount to my pc... this is what i think is causing voodo not to install because it cant write to the sd card.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
I just successfully converted to and from voodoo with the buttons, so I know the conversion scripts work, I'll look into the cdrom issue. For now just use it with the the options disabled. Yes, it means that voodoo is disabled, but you still have an overclocked optimized kernel with a functional way of flashing roms/kernels. Then if there is something wrong with my code and the sprint sdcard you can just flash it and not have to bother with heimdall.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gordesky1:
ok great:)

ya i think what causing the sd issue is the samsung sch-i800 card usb device is showing in device manager which should be saying Samsung SPH-P100 that was confusing something on bauxite kernel and than he fixed it and it was back to normal. he had to use the sprint stock kernel.

Not sure if this would help but it did create logs on the sd card which says this model detected vzw-tablet and than it says all stuff about converting to ext4 than i see this error unable to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 than also says data partition space is to high to covert to ext4.

if you want i can upload the voodoo folder that has all the logs in it.

hmm i just enable both lagfixs and the system booted how can i tell if voodoo is working?
