[ROM][4.0.4]SGT7 Builds for the Xoom (Wingray | Stringray)

cdesai · May 27, 2012

SGT7 is the custom ROM by the guys who brought ICS/CM9 to the OG Galaxy Tab

Initially it supported only the first tab, but now we've decided to support other tablets as well, so here it is!

Code:

#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*
*/

It's based on CyanogenMod 9, and will continue being to be so.

In short, it's a heavily modded CyanogenMod for tablets, fully opensource

Downloads :

http://sgt7.tk
Mirror : http://goo.im/devs/cdesai/jenkins
wingray = Wifi-only tab, stingray = LTE tab
Also available via Goo Manager

Installation and bugs are also same as CyanogenMod 9
So, download the zip, transfer it to the sd, reboot into Recovery and do a backup (always preferred, but optional), then install the zip.
Install GApps afterwards if you aren't coming from a CM9 / CM9 based ROM

Also read the CM9 thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1645651 (has some useful info)

Since neither of us has the device personally, the builds are untested, and we rely on you, the users, to help us.

Report anything wrong with the ROM, and what you'ld like to see in it.

Report issues here : http://code.google.com/p/sgt7/issues/list
(Do not report device-specific issues, i.e. stuff not working on CM9, report only stuff that you saw as a setting and didn't work as expected)

Lastly, thanks to the CyanogenMod team, for all their work, and thanks to the guys who ported ics to this tab.

It's just meant to be an addition of tablet specific tweaks to CM, and we might look forward to merging this functionality into CM later on, but for now, have fun with this.

I plan on doing weekly builds on my personal pc, or when a big feature is released / something big is fixed (device specific), i'll try to release a new build

Was not able to get passed the boot screen - also just realised i dont have the recovery option via the M logo - had to restore via fastboot moto honeycomb official ROM.

Anyone else get it going ?

Nope. Stuck @ RedM.

Used EOS R6 touch recovery.

Pretty sure it's the same error as a few other tablets, get me a logcat if you can, just to be sure, but i'll try fixing it anyways, and release a new clean build later today (morning here)

EDIT: rebuilt and reuploaded, and hopefully the issue should be solved

alex_72gr · May 28, 2012

Is there going to be a verzion for everest 3g euro?

Thanks cdesai, flashed the newer version and its installed ok - feels quite solid, will play and let you know if i find any problems - hopefully CM9 will work with speaker dock audio soon.

05/28 installed great.

Was poking around the power widget and can't use the flashlite.... bit of a problem for me, but not one telsa LED can't fix.
Just more of an inconvenience than anything else.

I've used the official CM9 builds for the xoom before, but even after a week of trying to get used to it on my xoom, I ended up going back to the EOS Nightlies. So I wasn't sure if this rom was much different than the official cm9. Nonetheless I wanted to try the rom, and boy I had nothing to doubt! This rom is amazing! The additions for tablets make the rom much more usable than the official CM9 rom on my xoom, and the original CM9 rom was no slouch in its own right. The swipe gestures are a neat thing too.

If there is only one thing that I would add to make this rom as tablet-awesome as it can be, it would be to add a volume slider in the "expanded settings". That is something included in the EOS rom that makes a huge difference once you get used to it. For example, the xoom's volume keys are not the best in the business; they work, but they are a bit hard to use and can be frustrating at times. In the EOS rom, that is remedied by adding a volume slider to the "standard settings" (as it is called in the rom itself), a slider that works just like the one when that comes up when a physical volume button is pressed, but can be easily accessed w/o. pressing any physical button. I realize that the volume buttons on the xoom are of course not the same as the volume buttons on the samsung galaxy tab. But this is just a humble feature request that could really finish off a good tablet experience.

Anyways, this is an amazing rom. Thank you so much for it. If your goal was to really make this a better, tablet-optimized version of CM9, then Mission Accomplished! I hope you merge the tweaks you guys put into this rom into the official CM9 rom.

If i got you correctly about the volume key thing, you can just press the volume button once, then slide the volume slider with your hand, without pressing the volume buttons.

Or just launch Settings, then tap sound and then volumes, and you get sliders which can be touched, w/o pressing any physical buttons.

And yea, we do plan to merge most if not all of this into CyanogenMod 9 someday.

Oh, I meant instead of trying hard to press those volume keys to begin with (takes some effort with a case on...) while say, watching a youtube video, one could just swipe up on the notifications, and quickly adjust the volume that way. So there is neither a need to press any physical button, nor is there a need to dig through menus that distract...

Let me attach a screenshot.

And it is great to hear that there is plans to merge your awesome tweaks into Cyanogenmod 9 someday. I look forward to it

Exactly, seen it being done before. Would solve the physical buttons issue

cammel · Jun 21, 2012

I may be confused, but what you have in your screen shot is available here. just 2 taps to get to the expanded combined bar which can be configured to have the volume sliders.

Oh... I must have missed that... Oops.. I know there's a button that switches between volume modes, but I didn't see any option for volume sliders. How did you enable volume sliders?
