Ran for 48 hours and going. No force close, no slow down.
However, Ebook app from honeycomb has error when importing books.
Background is pitch black when I launch app.

I see nobody has issues with the latest build. Then I'll flash it too.
I had a auto-reset-and-bootloop on 417 build several times.
But I think I've solved it. Just overclocked minimum frequency to 308 Mhz and didn't have any problems since then. (about 48 hours)

I have not tried this in a while and I know the camera doesn't work but is there an option to force 3/4G yet? That's kind of the deal breaker for me and I'd rater not flash it and find out I still can't force it.

exactly.
If you already have a version of pershoot's recovery installed then you may skip the odin part!

Pershoot does update his recovery everytime he releases a build though. So if the install fails, then reflash the new recovery.

So, I just started flashing the recovery.tar.md5 from pershoot (http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm9/p4/) and the process has stopped where Odin reached :

Code:
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> recovery.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..
<ID:0/005> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/005> recovery.img

What do I do now? Wait and see (almost 10 min so far)? Reboot into download and try again? Or?

Any update on this?
If its stod there for 10min it will not continue. Im not sure but i think that what ever happens during a flash download mode is never touched, so if you get stuck flashing(like you), you can always get back to download mode. Its like that on SGS2 atleast.
But you dont have much choiche but to try again. But reboot in to download mode and try again with a newly downloaded recovery, could be somethings wrong with yours. Good luck

Just retried with the same recovery (re-downloaded), and the same thing happened. So then I tried with the one Maba links to, for upgrading to CWM5 (which i flashed like a month ago, and it worked) - but it does the same thing.

Did I just get myself a too expensive mirror?

I just realized that I can get it into CWM though. Maybe I should just try and flash the SNAPSHOT then, and see what happens. But have to go for an hour or two now - so will report back with whatever happens when I get home..

This is weird. As I left earlier I left it in the charger, and booted in CWM, ready to install the above. And now, I have come home, and I find it booted into ICS with no problems...
Hmm.. Maybe I should just leave it there, or just try to install the latest SNAPSHOT without messing with the recovery?

Well.. Install of 0419 has so far run without problems, so I do not know what happened, what went wrong and what went well... But I'll report back if anything seems off due to the error!

Keep up the good work everyone!!

Just installed, used Overcome before, runs smooth, thumbs up! But there's one thing, downloaded latest gapps from your link and gmail isn't included.

Downloaded a gmail.apk and installed it, but unfortunately it isn't the tablet-version. Can't download gmail via Market neither, because it says it's not available in my region.

Could somebody please upload gmail.apk, tablet version just looks way better than a stretched stock mobile one!

Hi, try flashing this http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip . It works just fine for me.

Did you even google it ?

I am really wondering why some still can not google what they are looking for.

LMGTFY:

Anyway, here you are:

Please let me know if that works...

Yeah, of course I did, but I left out "Kang" and only googled for latest version of gmail.apk, didn't get the best results.

Thx! ;)

€: Installed it, but looks just like the phone version, before I had this look, do you have it?

    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.
    9
    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.
    8
    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.
