Thanks for your help;) I've now managed differently.

I've edited the "updater-script", and left the following lines:

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3");
show_progress(0.100000, 0);


It works, I dont need more as well :)

greeting

make sure that you have pershoots recovery installed (if not installed flash via Odin)

i think the best way is to make a full wipe

then boot in recovery and flash
1. the newest ROM (20120515)

2. newest gapps

all files (except gapps) are here:

http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm9/p4/

newest gapps are these http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip (i think)

Newest gapps are these: 2012.04.29

Is flashing .img fiiles possible thru ODIN? Didnt know that thought fastboot was the only way. Is there some converting involved to make it Odin flashable?

.img, no. You have to "tar it". For example, if you have a recovery.img, this is how I do it in Linux:

Code:
tar --format=ustar -c recovery.img > recovery.tar && md5sum recovery.tar >> recovery.tar && mv recovery.tar recovery.tar.md5

I think (I'm not sure), that you can use something like 7-Zip in windows, tar the .img an flash the .tar with Odin (just it won't check the md5).

But if you already have CWM, you can make a flashable zip with the .img, just like Blindi1985 did (in his case, a boot.img).

How long does it take for first GPS lock ? Because on Overcome i get first lock in about 15 sec and every next it takes only 5-6 sec. Indoor near the window.
On this rom I cant get gps lock. I waited over 5 min. Is there some patch for this problem ?

Great! I'm coming from another ICS Rom. I do full data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalwik but when I try, from CWM Recovery, to install it I recieved this error:

Code:
Installing update...
assert failed:getprop("ro.product.device") == "p4" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "p4"
Error in /sdcard/..../update-cm9-20120518-NIGHTLY-p4-signed.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted

I've a GT-P7500 EU 3G 16GB version.

Some solution?

    Hi all,

    this is a CM9 KANG built for the GT-P7500 (3G) model.

    What does KANG mean, I hear you asking? It means I'm not the one responsible for the code behind this ROM, it's all CyanogenMod/pershoot/isimobile (as noted below).
    I "only" compiled it and wrote this nice post, sharing my KANG along the way. Hope you will like it!

    All credits to the CyanogenMod team and Pershoot, they're the real heroes.
    Credits to isimobile as well for the 3G stuff. All you guys are great, keep up the awesomeness!

    Needless to say, don't bug the CyanogenMod team about bugs (pun intended).
    Also, neither I nor CM will be held responsible if your Tab explodes (or any other unfortunate side effect).
    That being said, it should work beautifully :)

    What is working:
    - 3G
    - WiFi tethering
    - HW video decoding
    - Quite a lot more

    Not working:
    - Camera

    Bugs:
    - For auto-brightness to work, lock/unlock the screen once.
    - Searching for network providers doesn't work.

    How to install:
    Do a FULL WIPE/FACTORY RESET & WIPE CACHE in CWM if coming from another ROM!
    If coming from any previous version of this ROM, full wipe/cache wipe shouldn't be necessary.
    Then, flash in this order:
    1. ROM
    2. Gapps
    3. Kernel modules (optional)
    without rebooting between flashes.

    Additional info:
    To get 3G working, make sure you have the right APN with the right settings for your network provider selected.
    For the most part this is autodetected but sometimes it's not detected properly.

    Kernel modules are optional. If you want support for things like nfs, ps3 controllers etc... flash this. You will have to do the modprobing yourself (in a terminal window: first get root access with su, then modprobe <modulename-without-.ko>)
    cifs.ko, ntfs.ko and tun.ko got moved into the ROM, no need for modules zip if you just want those.

    To get your Tab to show up on your computer when connected via USB, goto Settings -> Storage -> click the three dots in the upper-right corner. Enable MTP or PTP.

    Looking for a changelog? There's no changelog in the traditional sense but the latest merged changes can be seen here: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:merged branch:ics,n,z (ignore all android_kernel_* and android_device_* projects) & https://github.com/pershoot/

    Don't flash the kernel from Pershoots thread on this ROM. The latest kernel is included in this ROM already. The one in Pershoots thread is for Honeycomb.

    Bandwidth kindly provided by my friend snapcase. Thanks man :)

    Download (latest):
    ROM: GT-P7500-CM9-KANG-032512-maba.zip - 121 MB (MD5: coming)
    • Requires CWM recovery from here (flash in Odin via "PDA" button). Thread by pershoot here
    • Refreshed CM sources, with new official boot animation :)
    • WiFi fixed, FOR REAL this time ;) Pershoot has worked very hard on it, please thank him! WiFi Direct not working though at the moment.
    • Fewer graphical glitches (opening recent apps on home launcher still glitches)
    • Voice search fix is now obsolete; upgrade gapps to a newer version instead
    Kernel modules: GT-P7500-CM9-KANG-032512-maba-kernel-modules.zip - 6.7 MB (MD5: coming)
    • Modules will be installed to /system/lib/modules, this will make modprobe find them properly

    Gapps:
    Download gapps from here
    Download one of the newer gapps from that page (one of the gapps-ics-2012* files).
    If doing an upgrade from an earlier version of gapps, be aware that upgrading gapps can make your tab unbootable. In this case you have to wipe data!
    Remember to make a backup before upgrading gapps just in case!

    New build in first post.
    10
    Have an update comin this wknd. Swapped out wifi driver with mostly google's latest implementation. This will have wifi direct working.

    This 'should' also hopefully help the phantom bootloop stuff.

    Will post some experimental builds this wknd.

    here's a build i ran, just to ensure things are in place for 7500.

    unofficial
    http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm9/p4/
    (update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-p4-KANG-signed.zip)

    use the supplied recovery (odin: recovery.tar.md5)

    everything you need to build is on my github.

    most stuff in/outside has been submitted, pending review, in to mainline, excluding the p4 device tree, which will be created at some point.

    New build uploaded. Changes are minor, some memory tweaks and transition effects in Trebuchet. I've also built kernel modules for those of you who get turned on by stuff like that. :p

    First post updated with links and relevant info.
