same here with latest pershoot image and kernel, strange thing though, i had my tab returned to unrooted stock 3.0.1 with locked bootloader (for repair), the tab then updated itself to 3.2.1 and in 24hrs time i had two times the strange unlock bug where touch doesn't respond and if you press power the screen faded on/off for a while and it started responding, and that's an official untouched samsung rom with nothing installed :/

I really hope they swap mine for a P7500 instead of repairing it, i feel pretty ripped off with the P7100 ...

Still having the occasional reboot freeze, left untended and unplugged the device will reboot and hang at the boot animation, Ill then need to hold the power in and till it reboots after which it is fine again although with a lot less battery left.

Running the latest ISI build

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.

FYI, your latest kernel did not cause a SoD for me. I guess it's not relevant now :)

I just bought 10.1v and want to know if we have OC kernel for our tablet ? And will we get OFICIAL Ice Cream Sandwich acording to Samsung ?

wrong thread but I'll answer anyways....
This ROM has OC up to 1.4 Ghz although this kind of thing depends on each individual device.
I found that, to my usage purposes, no OC is needed with this ROM.

According to what we know so far is that Samsung will NOT release official ICS for our device.
Whether or not they will release the source code....remains to be seen

Thank you for the answer , can you tell me is there any big diference in performance and UI from latest oficial Honecomb and ICS ?

As testers you must know better

UI responsiveness is much faster in ICS and battery life in stand by is much much better. And you lose the camera for that

So I am a bit confused ...

I started by loading ISI's rom. At some point I started flashing the snapshots from pershoots site.

Today there is a new rom from ISI's site but also a snapshot on pershoots site. So which do I flash?

Also on pershoots site he states that the Odin 1.85 recovery must be used to flash his rom. How is it different from the recovery that I needed to load in order to get the original ISI from loaded?

It seems that the roms aren't compatible?

Ive used Same recovery for isi's Rom aswell as pershoots.
I believe there isnt much difference between the two.
Except that isi's “V" was broken and got the gt-p7500 but is stil assisting in building ics rom.
I guess pershoots rom gets updates more of ten.

The ROM's are the same. My ROM includes some code changes by me not included in cm9, working on to submit. @pershoot roms include latest kernel fixes by him. I synced this morning from his tree for kernel. I have not officially released my build. So use the one pershoot to be safe or use 02/05 build in the first post most stable in my opinion.

To flash either rom you need need latest recovery 5.5.0.4

Hope it helps.

Yes, huge difference. The only downside is that the cameras don't work in ICS.
You should know that the ICS for the "v" is from cm9 and has gradual improvements almost every day.

So I'm new to the Tab please forgive me, rooted and flashed.

I'm curious why you only have the 1 ROM which says (P3) when flashing, when on pershoots site says P3 and P4 are different options, P4 being for 7500.

I ended up flashing his April release (the May one wouldn't flash in CW recovery for whatever reason)

Is there even a difference, between P3 and P4, I'm guessing no, and that I can use yours on my device np? I might go to yours since as you have mentioned it might be a bit more stable that those snapshots on his blog.

Any insights would be appreciated, tyvm for your hard work.

The P3 is the P7100, with the 8mp camera and is thicker. Before apple released the ipad2. It's production was stopped when the ipad2 was released. The P4 (P7500) is the reworked P3 which is thinner and lighter, with a 3.2 mp camera. The devices are very similar but there a few differences. So never flash p4 on p3.

    I am please to announce an unofficial build of Android 4.04 (CM9), Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) for the Galaxy Tablet 10.1v (the forgotten one), GT-P7100.


    PLEASE READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS

    You do this at you own risk. I cannot be held responsible if you brake something.

    This is an alpha build, what does that mean?

    • It is not feature complete.
    • It will contain bugs.
    • It will not have everything working 100%, do not complain about something is not working.

    What is not working:

    • Camera
    • Tether
    • Battery usage data
    • When trying to unlock tablet the touch screen sometimes does not respond. When you press lock (power) it just dims screen. Let the tab go to sleep itself and try it again. Keep doing until it works, it does sometimes take a while to get back, or force hard reboot.
    • Screens flashes to black when you login to tab
    • If you have flashed a 7500 modem to your TAB the signal strength will not work correctly. (working on a fix, I hope)

    What is working:

    • 3g
    • Wifi
    • HQ Youtube video’s
    • Android

    Install instructions:

    • You need root
    • Backup your current tablet via CWM/Recovery
    • Copy files onto your tab.
    • You need to install a new recovery.img via fastboot , you should know how to get into bootloader to do fastboot by now, if not see instructions above for root: fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
    • Reboot into recovery,
    • Wipe/Data reset (very important)
    • Wipe Cache
    • Flash ROM,
    • Flash GAPPS.
    • Reboot
    • Enjoy!
    • Thanks to the flowing people:

    in reference to tether,
    im still working on the needed bits for that to properly happen (hostapd via nl80211). unfortunately as of right now, it will have to be ad-hoc/softap (wext). wireless tether should be able to do this.

    i have a newer wifi module which will be submitted for review this week. this should enhance wifi (throughput, reliability, etc.).

    New version, with 3g Tether fix.

    New Wifi driver thanks to pershoot.

    Upstream cm9/changes/enhancements.

    Enjoy.

    adb root
    adb remount

    download this: http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/kernels/2636/test/p4wifi/ics/bcmdhd.ko

    adb push bcmdhd.ko /system/lib/modules
    turn on wifi

    Thanks for this explanation isimobile.

    So basically we need to look for an ICS camera lib for the Tegra 2 specifically?

    So my investigation leads to the following devices that use a Tegra 250 T20 chipset:
    Acer Iconia Tab A100, A200 and A500, Asus Slider, LG Optimus Pad, Avionic Design Tamonten Processor Board, Exper EasyPad, Notion Ink Adam tablet, Olivetti OliPad 100, Point of View Mobii 10.1, ViewSonic G Tablet, Motorola Xoom, Toshiba AC100, Toshiba Folio 100, ASUS Eee Pad Transformer, Advent Vega, Hannspree Hannspad, Aigo n700, CompuLab Trim-Slice nettop, Dell Streak 7, E-Noa Interpad, Malata Tablet Zpad, MSI 10-inch (250 mm) tablet, Toradex Colibri Tegra 2, Toshiba Thrive tablet, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, T-Mobile G-Slate, Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet K1, Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet, Velocity Micro Cruz Tablet L510, Dell Streak Pro, Zyrex Onepad SP1110, Zyrex Onepad SP1113G, Sony Tablet S

    => The Motorola Xoom is for example in this list and received an ICS upgrade (and more importantly, the back and front camera work on it).

    When I look at the camera specs for this device:
    BACK CAM : 5 MP
    FRONT CAM : 2 MP

    Maybe we could use this camera lib from this ROM? Maybe we could get at least the front camera to work if we're lucky.

    I've extracted this ROM for the Motorola Xoom and taken the lib's for the camera from it.
    I've then replaced the /system/lib/libcamera_client.so, /system/lib/libcameraservice.so, /system/lib/libnvmm_camera.so, /system/lib/hw/camera.goldfish.so, /system/lib/hw/camera.stingray.so with the ones from the Xoom ROM. Is this enough or do I need other files as well?

    When I start the camera it doesn't say that it can't connect to the camera anymore like previously, but the app crashes a little while later. I've attached a logcat for investigation. Someone an idea? We need a kernel modification?

    Here is how I tried to get it working, maybe it will help others as well:

    I took camera.tegra.so which I got from the Nvidia Tegra ventana official libs and pushed it to /system/lib/hw/.

    Then I pushed nvcamera.conf , a text file, to /system/etc/. This file contains the config for the camera.

    Our backcamera is a IMX073 and our front camera is s5k5bbgx. So you just need replace the values inside this file for mapping like below:

    Code:
    # format, cameraName=device,direction,orientation,type
    # type can be 'stereo' for stereo capable, 'mono' for not stereo capable,
    # 'usb' to enable searching for a usb device and where to put it in the list
    #  if found.  Lines must be shorter then 256 characters
    version=1
    camera0=/dev/imx073,back,0,mono
    #camera1=/dev/ov5650,back,0,mono   // 2nd camera for stereo once supported
    camera1=/dev/os5k5bbgx,front,0,mono
    #camera4=/dev/ov5650,back,0,stereo   // virtual stereo device once supported

    I only used the two files.

    The camera then loaded in the log.

    Then if you open the camera app it opens but FC's.

    So then I looked in logs.

    I cannot remember exactly the errors in the logs, but if I remember it was complaining about reading sensors from the camera and then it failed, that is how far I got. I then spend a couple of days trying to figure it out but then gave up.

    What I learned from all this investigation is that libcamera.so from the hc3.01, which we used on the 7500 roms to get camera working, is actually tegra.camera.so that Samsung have recompiled with their specific stuff in for IMX073 camera. Well that is my assumption in any case and one other libnv*_video.so lib, cannot remember which one, contains a reference to the camera IMX073.

    So that is why am saying, this is only my research I could be wrong, is that we need the sourcecode of the nv tegra stuff to get it working, I would be glad if I am wrong but nothing so far has pointed me in any other direction.

    If you look at all the other devices that have the tegra chip in them none of them have a working camera except for those with a leaked ICS rom. Unless it changed in the last month.

    [Edit1]
    About Kernel, the kernel has the drivers compiled in for the camera, so I do not think any kernel work is required, but again I could be wrong. ;)

    Hope all this helps.
