[Q] Need help - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a TMO Galaxy Tab 10.1 and was able to root it last night with only minor issues which with the help of users here and other topics I was able to resolve the no root issue and this morning I flashed the CM10 nightly and had it working pretty well. But in my infinite wisdom I decided to mess with the voice calling and downloaded the modem and voice calling zip from here for CM10 4.1.2 (or 4.1.1) and followed the directions to install those via CWM. My first attempt my tab stayed at the Cyanogenmod logo and never moved passed it (I gave it 30mins). So I shutdown and booted back into recovery and wiped data/factory, wiped cache & dalvik and reflashed the working CM10.
Now my current issue is first (didn't create backup, why I chose not to is beyond me....) and second my tab boots but I get FC on setup wizard and google apps....I can press ok until pigs fly but it never moves passed that.
So what can I do to bring my tab back to a working condition??
**EDIT (additional info) ** When I'm in CWM and install zip from sdcard originally I had to browse to /sdcard/0/<folder my zip was in>, after my screw up I now have to navigate to /sdcard/0/0/<folder my zip is in>......

Use other gapps, thid may fix the google crashes,
Connect to your pc, move all your files from /sdcard/0/0 to /sdcard/0, delete folder /0, now your files are back in /sdcard/0 on cwm

I managed to fix my tablet. I ended up going into CWM and formatting my /data & /sdcard. I then downloaded the stock ROM for my tablet from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877049 and used ODIN to install it. After another wipe/factory reset I was back to a working stock tablet.
Then I reinstalled CWM and CM 10.1 nightly with the gapps and viola back in action.....all this hassle so I can play Dark Meadows. Also my /sdcard/0/0 deal got fixed as well....only have one additional cosmetic issue (with the CM 10.1 I have the stupid voicemail notice icon on the status bar and can't get it to go away).

Which CWM version do you have ?
Be sure to flash 6.0.2.7 to support CM 10.1 (and use gapps from 1212)

I thought dark meadows is tegra 3 only, and as far as my experience last, they tell me that a Gtab 10.1 is tegra 2?

All works fine just have that voicemail icon on top left of screen.

[Q] Newbie Questions - recovery mode/google now on ics

Hi guys,
First of all, thanks for the great community, good to be here
I've just got my mediapad at a bargain as 2nd hand and installed 'CleanICE 1.5 Rom (ICS 4.0.3). It has a really great response and installed with such little effort on my part so cheers h25p. I considered a couple other ROMS too, particularly the one posted by 'after_silence', http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856571 CM10 but it is said to have issues with HDMI out (which is an important feature to me) so I haven't tried that one yet.
What I'm trying to do now is boot in to Recovery (so I can install GoogleNow as per this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843457) but can't seem to figure it out for this ROM.
Has anyone had success doing so with ICS? Or better yet, anyone with experience of the 'glitchy HDMI' on the CM10 Jellybean ROM (is it really bad or is it workable most of the time)?
Cheers guys!
[edit]
used auto recovery installer and got CWM on the device now (after_silence provides link to it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856571)
i thought installing that would wipe everything else so to other newbies, don't be concerned. it's just installing the recovery manager and nothing else is affected
after that i went and installed the 'GoogleNowforICSInstaller_v1.1.zip' (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843457) from sd card in CWM but sadly when it boots up there is still no google now. any ideas on where to proceed from here?
Maybe our recoveries doesn't support aroma installer. Try to flash twrp instead of cwm or put manually lib and apk/apks from zip to your system folder (same as it is located in zip), set perrmisions to apk and reboot.

thank you for your suggestion, it has got me one step closer (well I suppose anyway). perhaps from here it is just something to do with the gnow port just not being compatible with my rom? after I install it manually and recheck all the permissions via my file manager, whenever i go to google search it simply says "unfortunately, google search has stopped."
Try to find another moded version. I tried it on stock fw (ICS) few mounths ago and it worked.

Thanks, also posted a logcat dump for one of the Gnow developers and they said there was a lot of location / graphics card errors and also suggested to try another ROM. Ended up flashing JB 4.1.1 AOKP for mediapad 30.1 Final (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876676) and enjoying GoogleNow which comes built in with it.
So far I'm really surprised at how much better it is - initially thought my battery was failing ( purchased my device 2nd hand) but the drain is really low now with this ROM. Seems a bit faster over all too. Didn't test out the HDMI function yet but hope that's not as bad as it sounds. Keeping my eyes open on the development of the 4.2.2 nightlys thread and will probably head over to that once HDMI and bluetooth is working a bit better there

this is pure stock deodexed nothing removed, and has adb as root. also doesnt have any mods
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.

beanstalk 4.4 kitkat installation issues

so i installed cwm touch on my device,
factory reset
clear cache
clead dalv cache
format system
install beatstalk and get this error
E: can't copy meta-inf/com/google/android/update-binary
installation aborted
can anyone help me
i've tried from both my internal and external sd card
What version is CWM? You need 6.0.4.3.
Also, try re-downloading the rom and gapps.
Error I717 vs i717
I have installed CWM touch 6, wiped (2x) then goto install and get the error that "This rom is for I717, and your device is i717" I have formatted the sd card and downloaded 2 different versions of the 4.4 and both give the same error. Also when I try to install others roms I get an error about "Bad" file. Any suggestions?
Only bug I see is YouTube does not work. I uninstalled and reinstalled updates and also tried force stopping the app.
It will play the first video I choose but then it won't play anything else.
Otherwise, Great Rom!

Installed this ROM and GAPPS from the dev thread for t0lte device.
First issue: AOSP keyboard force close. Looked up solution - install Google KB via APK. Ok, managed to do that, then set it to default. The AOSP FC message still appears, although not as frequently as before, and at least Google KB works.
Next issue: No data, no phone network.
Next issue: Went to set up APN, entered information, Menu > Save, APN did not save.
Not sure what the problem(s) is/are. Wanted to try this ROM but maybe I'll wait a while to see if anyone else runs into the same issues and if so, if they get fixed.
Permissions?
Well apparently the APN issues are caused by any 4.4 ROM if it is installed using TWRP.
So I have tried a couple of 4.4 ROMS using CWM and yes, my issues with APN didn't crop up. However, if I used another ROM that wasn't 4.4 (Paranoid) and then restored a backup of a 4.4 ROM, the APN again disappeared and was not modifiable. Anyway it's not the fault of any particular ROM, it appears.
As for the other issues, I have not gone back to Beanstalk since I posted my other message. Mostly because I don't really want to have to start from scratch every time I want to switch to a KitKat ROM (unless coming from another KitKat ROM, I presume - although I haven't ruled out that any recovery from backup wipes out APN).
Hopefully between the ROM developers and the custom recovery makers, this gets resolved and I can get back to feeding my ROM addiction.

CM12 on Nook Tablet
I downloaded your build and recovery last night. It installed without issues. I then installed PA Gapps Micro 5.0.1 (1/31 build). The system partition is at 91% with the micro Gapps. The only issue I have encountered so far is Titanium backup cannot get root access. I'll figure that one out so I can restore some of my apps.
Thanks and great work!
Nook Tablet with Lollipop, but no root
Hello,
I have nook tablet 16GB and rooted and installed Liquid Smooth 4.4.4 and CM10. It worked fine, but only problem was, it was saving file and everything to external sdcard. Internal memory wasn't gettign used.
Today, I installed CM12 and updated the system to Lollipop from the following forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-tablet/development/cm-12-l-lollipo-nook-tablet-acclaim-t3019125
It initially gave errors on Launcher3, I cleared the cache and cleared data and forced closed. in few minutes the launcher started worked fine.
Now, I went to Titanium backup to try restoring and to my surprize there is no 'Root' access. Did this ROM has no root access?
Please help.

Thanks to everyone for CM-12 on tablet.

Did this ROM support USB host for OTG, or any ROM support it???

Feb. 9th nightly
I have the latest recovery installed with the Feb 9th nightly. I can now reboot to recovery from the power-off menu. Yea!
I did have initial problems with the Feb. 9 nightly, I seem to have wiped out my gapps when I initially installed it (which I had to do manually). Clearing the cache and reflashing the Feb. 9th update and gapps fixed everything.
CM12 Rocks
I installed CM12 last night. I have the occasional hang->reboot, and there are some sluggish times but on the whole it's pretty sweet. I'm using my chromecast with netflix from the nook. For some reason CM11 with netflix wouldn't let me chromecast... not sure why but oh well.
My question is: when I hit the "settings" menu and tap the "buttons" option it causes the settings menu to crash with an "Unfortunately settings has stopped". Is this expected? I thought maybe it was because I originally tried a dirty-flash so I tried a factory-reset and wipe cache and then installed but the crash still occurs.
Thanks,
-Greg
too slow to respond
My NT is very very slow after install lastest CM12 (via OTA update) and about 10 apps, It spend 5-10s to open an app. Eventhough, turn off the screen also spend 2 seconds.
I can confirm that happens for me on the Feb. 9th build also. I did submit the bug report.
Just updated to Feb 11 nightly using cmupdater. Updated with no problem EXCEPT AOSP keyboard keeps quitting and lost gapps again. (pa_gapps-modular-micro-5.0.1-RC3-20150201-signed.zip) Reinstalled gapps. Note that "buttons" in setting still causes setting to close. I can't seem to view the recovery log through recovery (I see a few words of sup small tiny tiny type) and am not sure where it lives on the system. Does anyone have any ideas about why this is happening (loss of gapps) ? Could someone let me know where to find the recovery log?
thnx

According to this post in the dev thread, you can enable root in Settings/Developer Options. Attempting to open Developer Options causes Settings to crash here, currently.
You could flash SuperSU in the meantime

Found the recovery log--
Obviously the backup of gapp apps that is done during recovery failed--
e.g.
grep: /tmp/gapps.prop: No such file or directory
mkdir: can't create directory '/sdcard/tmp-gapps//': Permission denied
cp: can't create '/sdcard/tmp-gapps//system/app/GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter/GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk': No such file or directory
mkdir: can't create directory '/sdcard/tmp-gapps//': Permission denied
cp: can't create '/sdcard/tmp-gapps//system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk': No such file or directory
mkdir: can't create directory '/sdcard/tmp-gapps//': Permission denied
cp: can't create '/sdcard/tmp-gapps//system/app/GoogleHome/GoogleHome.apk': No such file or directory
mkdir: can't create directory '/sdcard/tmp-gapps//': Permission denied
etc.
Could this be an issue with the recovery mg itself? I can install gapps with flashify with no problem.
---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------
I just noticed in the recovery log where gapps was not recovered:
persist.sys.root_access=0
Shouldn't it be persist.sys.root_access=3?
How I can install ADB driver for Nook Tablet?

I reflashed TWRP 2.8.4.0 and then used cm updater to update to Feb. 12th official nightly. Updated automatically and didn't lose gapps.
For me, the closing of setting on trying to use developer settings was fixed 2 or 3 roms ago. I don't have titanium backup installed so don't know whether that will work now.
"buttons" still causes settings to close.

At the bottom of that post you will find a zip with the drivers. Using the posters suggestion I have found it much easier to use a wireless app (WIFI ADB in my case) then installing the windows drivers on my Windows 10 tech preview..
Hope this helps.
What's the issue with needing a new recovery? I flashed successfully using CWM 6.0.4.8 and the full sized GApps, and found virtually no errors, and barely any sluggishness.

When I flashed with the OP's latest recommended recovery (I think 6.0.5.1) I lost gapps twice. Didn't happen before that. Earlier than feb. 9th nightly, I could not get into recovery from shutdown menu and CMupdater couldn't get into recovery. (I updated manually). Now with twrp 2.8.4.0. everything is working "automatically" for me.
I find tablet to be pretty responsive, too. Hitting "buttons" in setting still closes settings (not something I use, but was just testing)

Re-rooting?

I have a Note 2 (obviously), and I have rooted my phone the first day I got it and have never updated the phone since I purchased it. So, I am still on 4.1.2. My phone has been super laggy and I want to take the oppurtunity the when I reset my phone that I can take advatages of the new features that mobile phones have by upgrading all the way to 5.1.x.
So, I downloaded CM 12.1 by wilson3q with 5.1 system. I first tried the 5.0 version since the 5.1 looked too new, and did not have time to deal with the bugs. When I flashed the 5.0 version, I got errors of not being able to flash gapps for 5.0 and that I lost my root. I tried downloading the new TWRP to see if I can get a newer version that would work better, but no luck. I got an error saying that I lost my root privileges and did I want TWRP to fix it. I slid yes to fix, but no luck.
The same problem occurred when I tried with 5.1.
So, I ended up restoring my nandroid backup and I am back on 4.1.2 again with root working again.
I am thinking that I am probably supposed to 'step up' the updates, but not sure. Does anyone have a solution or a link to the solution that they can help with?
PS: I did not like the camera that came with the new mod. I do like the stock one. Are there flashes of cameras that I can use as well when I do end up upgrading?
Thank you in advance!!!

Try Phiz recovery, I've never had trouble with "[I605][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch". If I recall we had to start using that one when kit-kat was released (i reserve the right to recall poorly)
I have a link to download mirror here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60899023&postcount=146
from your new recovery, you should be able to install CM12.1 and 5.1 gaaps recommended in the Wilson3Q i605 thread. from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-verizon/development/rom-unofficial-build-i605-t3069506
FWIW, I am on the 20150803 build and still using the GApps Minimal Edition 2015-04-04 for Android 5.1 (91 MB) from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330
with no issues to report.
You may also need to track down updated radios (to flash from CWM). I think you can find a link to the updated ND7 Modem/Baseband here:

(I've been dirty flashing for so long I dont' remember if the rom came with SuperSU or superuser... as such I can't recall if I had to flash this zip or not, but I probably did if I had issues with root)
Note you may also need to enable root from the settings menu after enabling developer mode.
there should be a "root access" option (or somehting like that there)
PPS are you also remembering to wipe data & clear cache/dalvik?
I have found zoot's mega wipe useful...

I assume that you are giving steps in order, BUT I feel that I should flash the radio to 4.4.2 first, in which the link was broken. I have spent a couple hours trying to find another link, but I am afraid that I may be using an incorrect one. Do you have a good link for that, please?
Also, I have ready the newest Samsung 3.10 Odin downloaded and installed, as well as the USB driver installed and downloaded the ADB fastboot. If I remember correctly, I am supposed to move this onto C: and run it to access the device (Note 2). It has been since Android first came out since I have used the ADB though. So, I apologize for the ignorance. So, do I just make sure the adb is in the same directory and run Odin or did I not need ADB and just run Odin?
I also assume that I run the Philz touch after I have gotten to 4.4.2 rooted first. Am I correct by assuming that?

Yes, I have done a cache/dalvik wipe a few times (because I have tried reflashing to get it to work with no luck).
I have downloaded the .zip version of superSU as well, and gapps minimal 5.1 with wilson3q's 5.1 ROM. So, I am almost ready to go with the exception of the correct radio upgrade file.
Thank you so much for your help!!! Much appreciated!
PS Will my old WifiTether apk files still work with 5.1 or do I need to get a new one?
Thanks Again!

Just flash philz from twrp. Reboot recovery wipe/reset... then flash new ROM gaaps... Wipe/reset... Then reboot.
I can post the radio zip to my site later tonight. I believe you can flash that last, or later (from philz cwm, after getting on cm12.1)
Same as superSU. Check out ROM first. It comes with root that can be enabled in developer options. you can always reboot to recovery later and flash the zip.
PS. WiFi tether built into ROM "hotspot" (no VZW subscription required)
Pps try this for the nd7 radios

Sorry to bother you, but I still am getting errors with Failed root access for Titanium Backup Pro. I also cannot find Developer Options in the settings menu.
I have tried flashing the radio before and after wiping and installing the ROM then gapps then superSU. I get into superSU and it asks me for root access and I grant it, but Titanium Backup Pro still says that it has no root access.
Any ideas? Thank YOU!!

with SuperSU installed, you may need to just need to update binaries. open SuperSU and it should prompt you if necessary. the "normal" option should work (no need to flash from recovery)
for TiBu...
--within SuperSU settings you may need to disable (uncheck) "mount name separation".
--You may also have to enable unknown sources (under settings, security).
-- there might be something to enable for USB debugging as well (TIBU should prompt for it)
FWIW, you can restore user apps/data... but I would not attempt to restore any system data. Personally, I have found it best to get to know a fresh ROM for a while before trying to restore crap from an older ROM . there might be value in re-configuring apps manually and/or restoring them one at a time (after making sure the ROM is working properly) i.e. you won't need any of those aforementioned WiFi tether apps since it is built into the ROM now.
Instructions on enabling developer options in CM ROM, from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_developer_options
1- In the Settings app, select About Phone (or About Tablet).
2- Scroll down, and tap the Build number entry seven times. On the seventh tap, you will be notified that "You are now a developer."
3- Return back to the main Settings menu. Developer options and Performance entries should now be visible.

(that is likely how to enable superuser that is "baked" into the rom, given you already installed SuperSU it may only complicate matters)
You may be rooted and just having TiBu issues. If all else fails you can check with an app. A long time ago, I've used "Simple Root Checker" by SimoneDev to check root/busybox. It is still in the play store.
Good Luck!

Thank you! It ended up being my version of Titanium Backup. I downloaded a new version and it is good. As far as restoring is concerned, I do not even want the apps themselves restored from there, because there may be a new version and would like a fresh install of those apps. I just want my data restored. For example, I have a surveillance software that I would just like to restore the entries (IP's usernames and passwords). I would like my email settings to be there, so that I do not have to re setup my 7 email addresses. My Text/SMS messages and my alarms. So, I am not trying to do a full restore.
On another note, I am trying to get my calendars back into my phone with no luck. I cannot install google calendar and get my google calendars to populate into my task widget, and the ROM is not letting me set up my POP email addresses. Also, I see no ringtones, so I have no ringers to ring my phone nor tones for my alarm clock. I flashed gapps for 5.1 and I see nothing extra from the ROM. I thought gapps was google apps. Am I trying to do stuff differently than you? There seems to be a few problems in that manner that I am trying to work with.
I am thinking of downgrading to 5.0. Maybe the 5.1 is too new?
Again, THANK YOU for your help!

I wouldn't downgrade, nobody is actively working on 5.0.2 anymore.... that thread is basically dead. Also, it is likely less "stable"/mature than what you have installed now (that is currently being maintained). i.e. you have the ROM that I would stick with.
like I said I wouldn't restore any thing into system (apps or data)... you can do whatever you please. (but it could be causing you more issues than just biting the bullet & configuring manually) i.e. restoring accounts might result in unanticipated issues, you came from a much older version of android.
all I had to do was install google calendar from play store and then the CM12 calendar stuff all worked (I might have had to restart and/or install the google calendar prior to setting up primary gmail). you might need to remove all your accounts and load them again (a factory reset might be faster though.)
also you might have to update google services and the play store before certain things "play nice".
I know you don't want to hear this but...
from here on out i'll likely point to all your issues being based on restoring system data. (based on my limited knowledge and personal experience). FWIW, I'd try to reconfigure/setup everything manually and you will likely have much better results.

I figured that, and feared that and the same time. So, what am I flashing onto the phone with gapps then? Also, one of the reasons I was wanting to go back was because there are a few apps that are not 'compatible' with this system. Meanwhile, I am going to wipe and reset again, and do what you suggested and just reconfigure.
Thanks again!

GAaps are the google apps... good read:
http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps
(hopefully I am not out of line for posting a link to that wiki)
many ROMS like CM don't' include gaaps due to licencing/legal issues. which is why the AOSP roms devs often have you flash the GAAPS package separately (also you can pick your package for your fact pattern... full gaaps/minimal gaaps/etc.).
Also the gaaps zip files you flash from recovery install the files into system. a lot of folks like the minimal editions of GAaps because it doesn't force all the apps into system. instead it just gets you up and running with the play store and a few essentials... that lets the user install all the other google apps as user apps, from the play store.
basically taking the "debloat" mentality as far as you can... keep stuff out of system and let the user decide what to install.
