:good: First of all :good: Thank you for your patronage!!! :D:cowboy::laugh::victory:

Before you do anything: This is purely at your own risk and I will not be responsible for anything that happens to your tablet. I flashed it on mine at my own risk.

Compatibility Information: There are 2 different versions. 1 for stock and 1 for Cyanogenmod. Even though the kernels are intended for the 3G tablet it will work just fine on a WiFi only tablet (like mine). This makes the build process less messy.

**Sources Fully documented v1.9 beginner friendly sources now available including the build script. If more explanations are required, please say so. However, remember that the explanations are not intended to be a blind step by step instructions of going from samsung source to A1.

TWRP V2.6.0.0: Please read: do not worry about any kind of "E:A: Render Error". This is a side effect of removing some image files to save place on the recovery image so it will fit on the 5MB. The error simply means it failed to show (render) and image file that it is looking for. This is not harmful at all. If you can't flash the recovery please try the dd method.

TWRP V2.6.3.0: There are no more E:A Render errors. All graphics that were removed are there. Also, the recovery will install supersu if no root is detected. That feature has also been restored. The kernel has been stripped of anything not recovery related to shrink it down. It also has selinux support which allows the "set_metadata" zip installation to work. The download is in the attachments below.

Great to see someone else kernel developing, could be the start of something here... Lol, I wanna give this a try but I think It'll stop 3G working if I flash the 7510 kernel.

Care to try the 3G version I just uploaded? I don't own the 3G version but I followed the same idea for compiling the 3G kernel.

Welcome, nice of you to come to the party :)

Is there really no one that can test and leave test reports? If i would have been on sammy rom i`d been all over this.
Good luck dev

Dang, you move quick, I've installed it but, how did you get the voodoo app to recognise the device as supported?

Scratch that, it was me being an idiot :)

Awesome. After flashing kernel, my useless wall chargers work. It is very smooth too. Great job.

Finally, the modified kernel!
Voodoo works perfectly.
It can even overclock the CPU to make and perfect kernel.
Maybe 1.6GHz.: D

Overclocking abilities is quite a tall order for my current "skills". After looking at the instructions on how you would do it, the process looks much much more involving than just a manual patch job. Weird thing is that after an initial read through of the instructions it looks like a 1.2Ghz overclock code is in the kernel source but I'm not sure why it's not turned on.

I was quite surprised to discover that the charger that comes in the box of the galaxy tab 10.1 actually sends some kind of "green light" to the tablet to begin charging. If the tablet gets the box charger it actually records "samsung charge !!!r" before activating the charging. If any other charger is connected the tablet records "invalid charger !!!" and disables charging in the next line of code. I just changed it so that it will record "other charger" in stead of invalid and enable charging after recording. (yes, the original code had those exclamation marks after charger).

You mean the task650 one? Of course it is! That's the only stock ics rom I've ever flashed on my tablet. I credited task650 in my first post for providing a clean deodexed rom to test on.

Yes task650 ! all is ok with your kernel ? i dont know if i have to wait a pershoot kernel for stock ics rom in order to enable voodoo sound and overcloking !

Yes, everything seems to be ok with the task650 rom. There is no overclocking available currently but voodoo is working.

    Very Good News

    So it looks like CM10.2 is actually alive and in testing on my tablet. Big thank you to user epinter for helping me with the graphics issue. I will play with CM10.2 to see how it is. First 10 seconds impression: buttery smooth, wifi works, bluetooth works, sound works, A1 kernel with SELinux firing on all cylinders! Unfortunately it has the 2 bar UI... time to search for that post on how to make tabletui.

    Please donate to epinter for CM10.2. He gets the credit for making it work. I just did some minor tweaking to the fstab and audio flinger.

    Gotta go to bed. Just check out the screenshot zips to see it working. I have no time adjust the sizes for xda.

    THE ZIP IS THE SCREENSHOTS, NOT THE ROM. I will post the rom later this week after testing.

    Honeycomb Tablet Mode Partial Fix

    Hey everyone,

    I managed to figure out how to get the classic honeycomb tablet mode to work in CM10.1 (mostly). You know, the one where you get 1 status bar for the soft buttons and tray. Simply move the jars to /system/framework and the apk to /system/app. Do this with any root explorer or the terminal.

    I tried to make a flashable zip, but I managed to screw the permissions in the process and accidentally pull the plug on my computer, corrupting its data partition. I did setup my Linux install to have a system (/) and data partition (/home) like android.

    The only down side is that you can't customize the power widget but, on the upside, the UI seems noticeably less laggy than the stock CM10.1 UI with the 2 bars. Why??? Who knows. I think this benefit more than justifies the small annoyance of unchangeable toggles.

    Here are the instructions I followed: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28957307&postcount=1, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36319776&postcount=974.

    Last gotcha, it's for wifi only since that's what I have and I don't really want to wait for my computer to compile a whole other rom for the 3G version. (Have mercy on the Core2 mobile).

    Please do not advertise your roms in my kernel thread. This thread is mainly for bug reports and feature requests. Thank you for your understanding. (I did not advertise my A1 in pershoot's kernel thread saying "hey you want some of these features on stock rom, try my kernel". ) I will fix V2.0 to use a 3G ramdisk so 3G tablets will be able to use boot scripts later today.
