@DaveHodgson, I have numerous signatures.. One for each device. I'm just tired of everyone asking simple questions that a google search would answer in one click.

Read the entire thread, you might just learn something.

Sincere apologies if you thought I was criticising you.
I genuinely found your combo of comment and signature funny.
I actually thought you were being ironic.

btw I have read the entire thread, even gone to the bother of building the p6800 version and loading it up on my own device.

Also aware you use multi sigs: particularly like "sent from anther Galaxy"...

Best Regards.

Than may I extend my apologies, as I thought you were trying to be funny. I thought I was the only one who built the ROM from the OP's sources besides the OP.. Good stuff, hopefully we can get this ROM to 100% functionality as these tablets deserve it.

My regards Dave

Understood,
I reckon there's a few lurkers quietly following threads and building ROM's (look at my post count...). Personally just building this sh*t is as much as I can manage at the moment. Kudos to you for trying to help people where you can.

I try as best I can, it helps me stay sharp.. I for 1 want to see this rom completed as the stock Samsung ROM that shipped with the device is the worst.. It is a disgrace to the "hardware".. I am new to android, and have been getting myself up to speed and don't mind helping, but if I can search why can't the next man/woman.? Lol..

But seriously if you are building another ICS based ROM Id like to take a look @ it.

I really hope so. I had a 10.1 and I loved the hardware but my user experience went from a 5 with honeycomb to a 9 with the CM9 preview someone posted. I bought a galaxy tab 2 last week and returned it 3 days later and now I have ordered a 7.7 after messing with one at the verizon store.

I love the hardware but the software sucks ass.. Truly hoping we can get a functionial ICS rom to make this tablet amazing.

Seriously, Ohanars github is scary - look at what he's up to

If you mean the math paper/tables that is on there, I agree fully, that stuff is scary :).

Hopefully we get some sources soon (the ICS rollout should be starting soon in canada) -- we are already using an ics kernel, but it would be easier to fix the things that are broken (such as vib, wifi, graphics glitches, and gsm) if we had the sources for our device/the tab 7.0+.

Nope, I meant "scary" as in your ability - you are playing with multiple device trees, coding, keeping the gits updated, following others, monitoring this thread, I could go on....

It's a compliment.

.

Yeah!
Can we have, (proper), WiFi and Uther Kool stuff?

Hopefully, I'm worried that the kernel module might not be the issue for WiFi -- if so, then I have figure out why the wpa_supplicant driver isn't working properly for our tablet and fix it.

Since I've jacked up my home computer, I'm working on installing Ubuntu on it, so I may have a Core Duo PC I can help out with in a few days. My Internet will be my cellular, so I can't promise how useful I'll be...... Time to bite the bullet and upgrade my home system. ;-)

My Tab makes calls Yo! GT-P6800

    I've started porting CyanogenMod 9 to the Galaxy Tab 7.7. Do not flash this unless you know how to backup your data and especially unless you know how to get back to stock. If you don't already know how to do this, you might want to familiarize yourself with the process now, while the developers try to stablize CM9. I don't have time to help people unbrick their devices, and will not take responsibility for any user bricking their device, you flash this at your own risk.

    If you are a developer interested in helping out with the porting effort, please PM me.

    Known Issues
    • HDMI dongle doesn't work
    • Some USB keyboards aren't working
    • I815: CDMA and LTE isn't enabled
    • I815: GPS doesn't work
    • I815: Autobrightness is broken
    Download
    Google apps can be found at http://goo.im/gapps
    Old

    Flash
    Flash from ClockworkMod Recovery, make sure to wipe data/factory reset. No whining if it eats your homework.

    Build Instructions
    Setup a standard CyanogenMod 9 build environment (there are plenty of tutorials on the web already on how to do this). Then
    1. Add add the following entries to your local manifest
      Code:
      <project path="device/samsung/XXX"
          name="ohanar/android_device_samsung_XXX" 
          revision="ics"
          remote="github" />
      <project path="device/samsung/smdk4210-tab"
          name="ohanar/android_device_samsung_smdk4210-tab" 
          revision="ics"
          remote="github" />
      <project path="kernel/samsung/smdk4210-tab"
          name="ohanar/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4210-tab"
          revision="ics"
          remote="github" />
      where you replace XXX with your device (i815, p6200, p6210, p6800, p6810, or t869).
    2. Make sure that your device is running the newest build of CyanogenMod 9 or stock ICS if your device has it.
    3. Make sure your device is plugged in and has debugging enabled.
    4. Run the extract-files script from your particular device tree.
    5. Run vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
    6. Your sources are now ready, to build run
      Code:
      $ . build/envsetup.sh       # this sets up the build environment
      $ lunch cm_XXX-userdebug    # this selects your device
      $ mka bacon                 # this builds CM

    Everyone who is having trouble with wifi, make sure you do the following
    1. Wipe/Factory reset
    2. If you know how make a logcat.
    3. If you made a logcat, post it, and if you didn't don't post anything -- I'm fully aware that Wifi isn't working for everyone
    4. Try the hotfix I've attached to this post

    @loccera there is an old wpa_supplicant in the newest build. Thats why wifi isnt working for most of the users.
    If you mean it doesn't have the wpa_supplicant from stock ICS, that is because it is impossible to include a binary wpa_supplicant in the CM build process (if you tried, it would get overwritten by the one that is built from source). The reasoning is that wpa_supplicant is GPL'ed, so by law any alterations made to it that are used in a distributed binary must be publicly shared -- unfortunately Samsung has decided to ignore the law and has not released their modifications. The best I can do is provide a hotfix zip with the stock ICS wpa_supplicant until I manage to get the opensource driver fully functional.

    Thread Cleaned

    I have cleaned all of the off topic posts from the last few pages. I remind all this is a development thread and not for general discussion.

    EDIT: Once again i have cleaned this thread, please only post here if you have something to add to the development. Lets keep it on topic from now!​

    What I was really doing while all y'all were complaining about your lack of mobile data :p
    14
    So aorth just fixed RIL, the last outstanding issue from switching kernels that has plagued the Tab 7+. Unfortunately we weren't as lucky, and had a few more:
    • screen glitches (which make the build unusable)
    • the vibrator is broken (and produces annoying beeps)
    I'm currently waiting on the note source drop before trying to fix those, but once I do, I plan on posting a new build which should have the following fixed
    • usb gadget support (adb should work on all platforms, mtp should work, usb tethering, etc...)
    • hardware accelerated video
    • proof of concept camera (this and wifi are what I'm currently working on)
    • possibly other stuff that I'm forgetting
