Q&A: [ROM-1.2/GRJ90] CM7Tab for the GTab (based on CM7 Nightlies) [Update: 08-15-11]
MOD EDIT: THIS IS THE Q&A SECTION FOR [ROM - 1.2] CyanogenMod 7 nightlies for the GTab
ALL Q&A FOR THIS ROM HAPPENS HERE.
Thanks.
---------------------------------------------------
As suggested, I have decided to make my own thread for the Cyanogenmod nightlies and other ROMs. It will make things a lot easier in the long run.
Disclaimer: as with the other Roms, Use at your own risk! Since the CM7 nightlies are basically an ongoing beta, you run the risk to brick your Gtab if you are not careful. Use to learn NxFlash first before attempting to flash ROMS. Also, do yourself a favor and get Titanium Backup! Always backup yours apps/settings and wipe data/cache/dalvik before flashing.
These will be using the bootloader's 1.2 Pershoot's kernel (2.6.32.43 / 1.4 ghz Kernel) for GB. This ROM works with the Gtab and should work with the ZPAD altough I have no confirmation of this yet.
Thanks goes out to: Team Douche/Cyanogenmod Devs for making a great ROM, Zyhong for showing me how to update to 1.2 and a few more tricks, Maxdamage for taking the time to compile the nightlies for 1.1 users, Pershoot for making such a great kernel and Roebeet for being the one that inspired me to take my journey down the Android rom lane.
1) latest version of CM7Tab: CM7Tab build 08082011 (Nightlies changelog)
2) Test CM7Tab with 4950 drivers: Test Build 08152011
Changes in modified version
1- replaced DSPmanager.apk with a previous version that is known to work (7.0.3) (if you open it, it FCs)
2- vold.fstab is setup as sdcard for internal storage & emmc for external card
3- using pershoot's 2.6.32.43 GB kernel for 1.2 bootloader (For more info, check his blog.
4- Read_ahead_kd increased from 128 to 2048.
5- Set up overclocking by default and battery saver script + cpu governors via userinit.sh (from Zyhong's ROM, based on Caulkin's scripts).
6- Replaced Camera libs & apk to stop the 8-bit pixelling.
7- Increased dalvik.vm.heapsize to 64m (07102011)
8- Set some values to improve video playback (07272011)
9- Changed values for lowmemorykiller minfree in init.rc (08072011).
10- changed EMMC to microsd (08072011)
11- updated ROM up to 2.3.5 (08072011)
12- Camera fix (08082011)
To-do list:
1- remove some apks (such as Rom manager) & create a removed apks folder.
--------------------------------
Issues:
1) Once you set up DSPmanager, it force crashes.
1) Vanilla CM7 nightly (only vold.fstab was modified): Latest build: Build 07262011 (Changelog)
If you have suggestions/ideas, do not hesitate to share them.
thank you.
Going to give it a try, tried cm7 a while ago and was great with it but seemed a bit slow. On Iluminate now do I have to flash back to stock?

How long ago did you try it? I try to play areound with CM7 with the CM7tab ROM to see if I can speed it up a little as well. You can give it a try and tell me what you think.

personally I have been using your build for a while and quite happy with it except the market which sometime shows my apps and other time it doesn't. I have not tried any market fixes yet, so it is partiality my fault as well.

I tried it today but was getting a lot of fc's, it did seem a little faster then I remember except the boot up was really slow as I remember. I did not give it a full try because I failed to wipe everything because I was at work and wasn't really supposed to be on it. I will do it again tonight with full wipe and see if it gives better results and let you know.
I just realized you have a tab build so I will try that one. The one thing I noticed right away with cm7 is that my tablet looked like a phone and I have been jumping around from HC roms and got used to a more tablet specific rom. I will give you update in a few hours I think.
Edit: have been trying for a couple of hours now but sent me in to boot loop had nvflash back to stock, will give it another shot once this silly Tap n Tap is finished loading.

Dalingrin was kind enough to provide a fix that seems to resolve most of the problems with market (including buying apps). It was merged in build 07092011+ so give it a try and tell me how it goes.

The FCs you were getting were probbly from DSPManager. It is a known issue that seems to come from a "broken pipe" in one of the libs. For now, it is best just to remove it.
For the bootup, someone suggested moving apps to the SD card. Apparently, it would speed up the process.
I am conscious that 2.3.4 is made with phones in mind but it is a step up from Froyo and having partial hardware acceleration helps.
Just tried again and got stuck on CM7 logo boot loop, this was with the CM7 tab build. did full wipe of cache, dalvik, and user data. Not sure what happened. Restoring to Illuminate rom if you have some ideas on how or what else I can do to try this rom let me know.
Hey there Ice.
First off, awesome work on this and thank you for taking the time.
I would recommend editing the build.prop file to set the Manufacturer to HTC. This fixes the playback issue with Netflix (Chipmunk). I tested this out fully on my gTab last night and it's the ONLY setting that needs to be modified. Aside from that, everything seems to work.
Good work!
Hi
Has anyone tried installing volume+ on this rom? I'm on BL1.1 CM7 rom but volume+ does not install. If this works, I'll take the bold step to upgrade to BL1.2.
I don't know if it's just my hardware. My gtab's speaker is very soft and I want to try cranking it up with volume+ (which works on my phone running cm7).
thanks a lot.
DroidTV phone size not full screen....Anyone have other apps that did that after....
I was using DroidTV, and it was full-screen and then rebuild my G Tab with the cm7tabl-0710200-1.2 and when I reinstalled DroidTV it is now phone size display on the G Tablet.
I used Titanium Backup to restore the app and the settings. Anyone have issues like this with an app that did that after re-installing after a full rebuild? Any build.prop setting or somewhere I could check?
Thanks. Steve.
Thanks everyone for your feedback.
@Mike: I have heard of this before and wasn't sure if anyone would be interested in it. I will change that on the CM7Tab version in the next few days.
@Vhend: Yes, Vol+ works on 1.2. You enter CWM and it works great here.
@Artful: I will look into this. It might just be that the rsolution isnÈt set right. I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks Ice. Other than that I have yet to find any major issues that in the build.
Other than apps that open portrait only with the bottom on the side with the power button. Tried to say to not rotate 90 degrees but they still open that way Apps that open landscape then won't rotate to the 90 degree position but portrait apps still open that way
This is the most stable I have used and performance seems good. A co-workers has the same build, I installed it for them since they are techie-challenged, and theirs is turtle slow because I think they have Skype running all the time.

sorry for not being clear. I did not mean pressing the volume+ button. i actually meant this app to boost the volume of gtablet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1023433
I guess the app has dependencies on dsp manager, that's why it did not work on my B1.1 cm7. Since you have replaced the dsp with a workable one in your rom, I would like to check if the volume+ app works here.
Appreciate your work on the rom!

Actually, I think it has more to do with a problem with one of the audio libraries. I did a logcat and it seems something called AudioFlinger can't set a parameter properly.
If anyone can fix this, I can send the logcat to help out.
I wanted to apologize for not being able to upload the new nightly today. I had to rebuild my computer and took the opportunity to switch to a new Linux distro. Just tested the new system and all is great.
I will post Build 07172011 later this morning.
Where are the nightly's getting posted now? Thanks and this is the most stable MOD I've had on my G Tab.
Do video apps work as far as no rotation with Oovoo, yahoo, reelportal, etc? Audio work okay with chatting?

There is a huge debate about this, but if you are not ready for a new Kernel, you can try an app call Autokiller Memory Optimizer and set it to the Optimum setting.
This will kill apps that are eating up your RAM and over time can slow your phone. This is one simple and quick solution.
This app adjust the memory killer that is already used by the phone. This just helps it to work more efficiently.

Big plus one to this. It's like CM7 (CyanogenMod) or CM7-based MIUI should have been released for our devices from the start. I couldn't believe how smooth my Fascinate was after installing andmer's MIUI.
Here's his twitter where he links to his releases: http://twitter.com/#!/andmer_
And here's the latest release as of this post: http://goo.gl/Pja9F (includes jt's CM7 kernel) + patch: http://goo.gl/OquBU

oh trust me i want to be on CM7 or MIUI, but i CANNOT get around the SD mount error. i have another thread about it. i have tried everything and nothing works. i was thinking of ordering a smaller 8 gig card to try and see if its my cards, what class/type card should i get just to install and MTD rom?? i cant CM7 and MIUI bad
Where's your other thread? I had an SD Card mount error but found a fix and posted it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296694&page=2#post18859876
Let me read your thread and I'll see if it's the same issue.
here is mine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325525
Jsut so I have the steps down:
1) You have the ROM zip file on your SD Card
2) Reboot into ClockworkMod
3) Select install Zip from SD card
4) Navigate to the Zip file
5) Install
You're saying the process breaks for you at #3 because CWM can't read your SD Card?
If the above problem is true, try using rom manager to find and flash the file. if not try a different sd card.

back to the lag issue...when running these roms are you restoring backups from Titanium. If so, are your backups from a froyo rom, that could be part of the problem if you also get force closes. I had the same problem a while back. I have also noticed if changing fonts(such as with absolute system root tools) certain more elaborate fonts can cause some lag as well. also check into the widgets you are using, even on CM7.1 i get insane lag and launcher force closes if I use Fancy Widgets but everything else is fine.
Hopefully one of those things will solve the issue...if not wipe it clean and start fresh lol but seriously hope you figure it out
after re-reading the op it really sounds like your problem could be with restoring apps, it sounds identical to when I first switched to the GB roms. You run smooth as butter for a while the it all goes to hell. I would start with wipe data/factory reset but when intalling backups try WITHOUT DATA if you still get lag, wipe again and install your apps manually from the market or where ever. I ended up going with the latter and haven't had issues since.
Beta 1 CyanogenMod 7.2.0 KANG ROM for the Player 5.0 USA and INTL
Preliminary release, less problems than before.
Please note that for now I have removed the assert that was causing problems for INTL users, but this means nothing will stop you from installing this ROM on the wrong device! Please make sure you have a Galaxy Player 5.0 USA or INTL before installing this ROM!
Instructions:
Install Entropy512's kernel if you're on stock ROM.
Do a backup!
Copy ROM to /mnt/sdcard/
Reboot into Recovery Mode
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Install zip from sdcard
Reboot
Not that installing this ROM will automatically convert your rfs partitions to ext4 (lagfix). Except for the /efs partition which I'm scared to touch.
Known Issues:
Camcorder doesn't work
Wireless issues
Boot loop when plugged in to USB port while powered down
Fixed in Beta 1:
Camera
Vibration
Fixed in Alpha 2:
External sdcard mounts properly. By default, internal sdcard mounts as /mnt/sdcard and external sdcard mounts as /mnt/emmc. This is a better default I think since some devices may not have an external sdcard. To switch, go to Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Application and uncheck "Use internal storage"
Airplane Mode
Wireless seems more reliable? Not perfect..
Updated to Entropy512's overclocking kernel
TODO:
Unify with tdmcode 4.0 release if possible..
More testing. Please post your issues
Thanks to tdmcode for the help and Entropy512 for the kernel. Thanks also to noisyfox for the INTL fix.

After installing i'll post my impressions
Thanks for this!
Ok I've installed this.. I've notice:
1: wifi turnoff when i lock my player but doesnt turn on automatically
2: camera bugs confirmed
3: music in sd doesnt appear in players
Looking forward to giving this a try once more of the bugs are worked out.. good work!
Awesome job! I can't thank you guys enough for how much you are doing!
I have a INTL device and I just can't wait to help you to test it! By the way, good job!
I'm porting MIUI to G70 so I'm sure I can learn a lot from your CM7 rom!
Haha, I'm so excited!
Woooo
Thank you a lot for your effort, definitely going to flash this once it is downloaded!
Just tried it since I was curious.. looks really cool! Seems to be working pretty well considering it's an alpha build. I've never actually seen CM7 before so that was interesting.
I'll definitely be using it once its out of alpha!
Hey good job.
Is there a possibility that this ROM could also come out for the International version?

Should imagine so maybe Installing rj's kernel for International instead of Entropy512's kernel would do the trick

Umm they don't work because you can't use this ROM. This is for U.S.A users only. Sorry. But I tested it, works FANTASTIC! Camera is a bit funny lol and everything is so smooth. ICS themes work Love it, great, thanks for your hard work! WiFi is also not a problem for me soo I don't know about any problems with that. One thing i do wanna mention is that GApps wasn't on here, so i downloaded that and it works just fine. It synced all my apps back in and everything is fine. THANKS!

I tried split_bootimg.pl but it don't work... I also tried hex editor but failed...
To recognize my SD all I did was remove it and put it back. The wifi is a problem for me. The camera is funny lol. A few apps. Are not installing properly. Installed Gapps and it seems to be working. All in all needs a few bug fixes, but this is a great ROM. oh, and the overclocking would be a nice feature to get working.

I dont have any problems with sd but wifi just dont turn on anymore so i had to get back to entropy's kernel
I'll try next update
Wifi seems to be working without any issues and the camera seems to be working but the image is mirrored. Installed Gapps and the market is working again. My SD card is working normally too, although the music library seems to be non-functional.
The only issue I've come across so far is that for some reason when I installed zeam launcher it just force closes. Also just noticed that none of the capacitive button lights work.. although I'm not sure that's a bad thing.
If you have a non-USA 5.0 you can't just install this ROM and reflash the kernel, becuase the "kernel" on samsung devices contains a lot of ROM-specific files from the root filesystem (init.rc being the main one).
I need someone with a non-USA 5.0 to post the following:
outputs of:
adb shell cat /proc/mounts
adb shell ls -l /dev/block/
Then, most critically, reboot into CWM recovery and go to Advanced -> Key Test. Press all the buttons on the device and post what the key codes are (for example when you hit the Menu button it should show "Key: 139").

thank you for posting this here! :good:
Many thanks!
Thanks for this! Works great, feels more fluid... Except doesn't seem to fix the touchscreen deadzones that occur intermittently (but of course that's for Samsung to take care of)
How this update should be installed? Adb?
Edit. Sorry, never mind, this is for N5100 but I have N5100. Waiting for new version for my device.
I am interested in loading this rom on my wife's tablet. I have been flashing rom's on my Motorola Phones for years now and am very comfortable doing so, but a real Novice when it comes to Samsung.
I am on 4.1.2, insecure loader. I have tried both CWM and TWRP recoveries and can use either. I have also used Odin as well.
Question, do I need to wipe data first, and how do I load this rom onto a Samsung Device.
Sorry for the trouble, but I am a fast learner and will be on board soon (I hope)

Since this is an OS upgrade (4.1.2 to 4.2.2) a data wipe is highly suggested. Frankly, I would suggest wiping system, data, cache and dalvik just for good measure. If she wants to keep a lot of the apps' progress/settings she has, I would install Titanium Backup and back up all user apps first before doing anything. She may have everything synced with her Google account as I believe you can sync apps and their data through Google now, but I haven't tested it yet.
To install the ROM, you'd just need to put it somewhere locally on your tablet, I have a '000Flash' folder on the root of my internal SD storage for any ROMs/kernels/modems (on my phone), etc. Place it in there, then get yourself into recovery. Once in recovery, wipe everything I mentioned above, then go back to the install/flash option of whatever recovery you're using. Flash the .zip file you just downloaded and put locally on your tab. Wait a few minutes and boot her up!
Just make sure you have the right software for the right version tablet you have, N5110 vs N5100.

No problem, shouldn't be too different than what you're already used to, but I can understand the need for clarification when it comes to different devices as they're all a little bit different.
OK, on 4.2.2, no problems at all after I found how to turn debugging mode on. THAT IS STRANGE

Also you will need to have CWM or TWRP installed as a custom recovery for it to work. There are plenty of options for installing and the new versions that are non touch should fix any issues uyou had previously. Happy flashing!

I'm all rooted and running the ROM...
This ROM definitely needs a little TLC...
How about putting a list of requests together so maybe we have an Idea of what we can expect?
Here is a thread for customizing this ROM!!!
Here is a link to the Google Edition 4.3 Camera
This works I have it installed. and it is pretty sweet. (even on a 5mp Camera)
I installed xposed framework today and it works well on this ROM. Has anyone else tried this?
You can go here for other mods to add to it...
After you have the Xposed frame work installed you can install the app_settings see attachments, to modify the per app DPI settings.
example, you open up app settings go to gmail, set the dpi to 160 & screen (dp): 1000x1600
I did this for System settings as well and they look nice.
Play around with it and we can build on it...
You can find other mods that you can see if they work and build a list in a new thread. REMEMBER TO BACK UP FIRST!
Ge the disabler in attachments to flash in case you get into a boot loop. These work well since this is a stock ROM.
NottachXposed works very nicely for this ROM... You just have to play with it a little bit, but you can tweak it out nicely...
Don't forget to grab the Multi-Window Manager over in the Themes and app section. It works Great Without any flaws so far...!
If you need a 3-way reboot menu, here is an excellent app here for that...
Knock it Off Please
OK, please stop with all the "bad-mouthing" and "trolling" and... the "Off-Topic" posts. You know the rules, especially in the Dev Forum.
You wanna post garbage or talk about who's gonna do what, then go to the main Android "Off Topic" forum.
Thread cleaned. (please don't make me come back in here again)

Thanks for the deodexed, recovery flashable rom. I just flashed it and got everything set up. So far everything is running great.

FIGURED WITH INDIE RELEASING HIS 4.4 LEAKED ROM I had better let you guys enjoy it a bit before the v20 4.4 and an unloked bootloader port heh, joking probably wont see her for a bit boys and girls so enjoy what you can while you have it. btw thats 4.4 that triggers knox but ima try it later since I've triggered it messing with SS trying to get zips working for people over last cpl weeks... im sure well see 4.4 tw soon enough til then enjoy.
This is a follow up to my v18 ROM any problems or issues try first searching that thread for info then post issue or problem herein v19's thread please.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591648
thanks testers of my original port v18. of course ...indie... genius and the rest of the omega crew. thx ppls
like all my new roms this is multicarrier friendly meaning you might have to flash your modules and possibly modem and apns to get full service but its very easy to do and nearly all files possibly needed for this conversion are available at http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=devices&uid=23269279319201630 along with various other mods and rom ports.
Installing is straight forward: zip is for slots 1-420 and the restorable install is for any slot including STOCK!!!
And this wont hurt your phone or leave incompatability issues like other SS roms may have done. Plz post problems issues here not on indies or any other omega forum. Thanks must be given to indie and anyone he says I just ported this one was the easiest one I've done and has been 100% successful for everyone I personally installed for. Be sure to +thank me or indie or Download another rom.
Install by running zip from Safestrap or TWRP. Untested on CWM. After installing if not a MK2 VZW user you will have to flash your Safestrap modules and modem and apn if all else fails. This installs the best on a fresh rom slot ie newly created / blank.
Zip DL:

SS RESTORE DL:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319202601
Install: unzip the backup files in the zip to a folder like /TWRP/backupsi/141fa3db/ndie-Omega19bygogolie no matter where the files need to be one level in a directory named something and your TWRP/SS backup directory needs to read from that location if you cant figure this out you probably should not be installing a custom anything. Once files are where you want them pop into SS/TWRP and restore these to any slots butt even STOCK. yay ok bed time ill update and make pretty maybe later.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING THE RESTORE VERSION OVER THE ZIP. PERSONALLY I THINK ITS SAFER MORE COMPATIBLE WITH ALL PHONES WITH 3.7+

Hey man one thing i've noticed with this rom (both SS and zip options) as well as your other rom M1A3, Wifi seems to have trouble maintaining a stable connection. It tends to drop off and i find myself having to toggle it every so often.
The other issue is also with wifi, when i try to connect to an access point using 2 phase authentication (WAP + PEAP) it will accept the credentials, pass verification but never receive the IP address. It then just bounces back and forth between scanning for wifi networks and trying to obtain an IP address from the access point....which kills the battery.
I can connect to the very same access point from the stock rom.
I've tried flashing the modules, replacing the modules with the ones from the stock rom, as well as replacing the wap_config.conf file from the working rom slot. no go
Hopefully you can clue me into a fix. Im on MJ7, I have seen this problem come back after i re-flashed my image with Odin. its definitely related to these roms in particular
Other than that i really like both of these roms. the gold theme on M1A3 is pretty cool too
+1 using foxhound. I love that ROM but am having the same problems as above. Won't connect to work network and keeps searching and obtaining IP address but never connects and kills battery. Used data on way home for maps and signal said 4g but Google said not connected had to switch back to stock and all was fine...shame cause I love foxhound.... Using ss 3.71 on MK2

So the first fix didnt change anything unfortunately. Flashed the second zip and on reboot had a ton of FC errors and couldn't even unlock the screen. Restarted again and it was pretty much soft bricked...had to restore from backup.
Flashed zip in twrp, loaded great no serious problems. Only issue is that it keeps trying to encrypt my SD card. I am concerned about losing data. Please advise how to stop encr. I have been rebooting and took out card. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I thought it would be helpful to share my post from the Foxhound thread on installation of Omega on MDK http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49744674
[ROM]Foxhound Diamond Dogs 3.6 TW-4.3-MK2/AnyCarrier-SS-KNOXfree-CLEAN-FAST-THEMED
Gigilie, I would be happy to walk through Omega instillation on MDK. It's very easy.
Before you start make sure you downloaded Omega. v. 19. I used the .zip version and reccomend flashing .zip for all MDK recovery based installs. Also dl the most current ktoonsz 4.3 tw kernel. The version in Omega did not work well and a fresh install is best. Also dl any mods you like, such as those you might use with HD or other 4.3 TW roms.
1. Using recovery, I use TWRP 2.6.3, be sure to make a back up nandroid of your current rom.
2. Wipe. A full factory wipe is best.
3. Flash Omega v. 19 and the new ktz kernel and wipe cache and Calvin for good measure (not absolutely necessary).
4. Reboot, set up and give the rom some time to set up and load your backuped apps from the playstore.
5. Go back to recovery and flash your mods.
If you are brave or foolish, restore only the data from your 4.3 or 4.2 TW Nandroid.
If you start getting fc's then wipe data, and reload your data and apps manually from the playstore and or from Ti backup. I found that data from my HD 12 Nandroid was compatible with Omega. I was using the S4 UI in HD v. 12, not the Note 3 UI; and data from other setups may not play well with Omega v.19.
That's it. Easy peasy. Have fun!
