well i'm new to android too :) -- someone had to get started working on an aosp based rom

also, wifi news! I loaded a couple webpages, although it is so flaky that I'm surprised I got that far

i'm starting a clean build right now to make sure everything builds and works fine with all the recent changes. Assuming that all goes well, I'll probably post it.

I tried to get an aosp build going but I was unable to get it to boot.. as I've said I've been running the 2.1 DP since the 11th and its been great with the understanding of what's not working... keep up the great work and I'm here to help as best I can... let me know when you have the next build and I'll flash it A.S.A.P.! Thanks

Yeah, took a bit for me to get it to boot too, but enough tinkering will eventually solve anything. :)
as I've said I've been running the 2.1 DP since the 11th and its been great with the understanding of what's not working...
If you've been running it as a daily, do you have any stats on its battery life? I have the P6810, so I can't really use it as my daily (plus it is hooked up to my comp so much so I can adb that it never really has a chance to decharge).
let me know when you have the next build
OP's been updated

DP 3.0 booted fine, also phone seems to be working now as it shows the in call GUI, also the wifi took a while to initialize.. I have added my AP's but it has not connected to them yet. I'll keep you posted.. Great work.. We are one step closer..!

this bug was probably caused by me using gcc 4.6

Yeah, wifi is barely working. For me, if I'm lucky I can connect, and once it does it tends to drop out after a couple minutes.

Its still progress and very much appreciated..

Update 1

It just alerted me of wifi networks near to me but it hasn't connected to my AP's I use Mac address filtering as well as WPA2.. Could my network being secured be an issue..? I have entered my 2.4ghz and my 5ghz network SSID's and passwords...

Update 2

It now shows my 2.4ghz AP, but hasn't connected yet..

yeah you're right, it won't connect to any of my networks either. I did make one small change related to wifi that shouldn't have affected anything, but maybe it did, hmm...

I had the same thing with the screen rotation. But for me the screen rotated using tapatalk. Once it rotated it never went back. I tried a few things with no luck, then I launched tapatalk again and it rotated back on its own. So try going back into what ever app initiated the rotation. Hope that helps.. I have since turned off auto rotation.

If you have issues with something I claim to be working, make sure you do a wipe before reporting -- many things are changing and I cannot insure that all your old data+settings will still work. (I'm not upset with people posting, I just want to try to keep this thread as clean as possible, so please help me in my goal.)

Wifi update: I have pretty reliable tethered wifi now (as in it doesn't really work if it isn't plugged in, but works fine when plugged in). I have a few more things that I'm going to try to see if I can improve the situation, but regardless of whether those work or not, I'll post an updated build.

Thanks.. Will flash as soon as its posted and report back.

Update

I will begin monitoring battery usage levels after my next full cycle charge as I haven't really been monitoring it. I can say I haven't had any issues with battery life so I guess thats a good thing. Hope that helps..

OK I just tested the phone again and this time it didn't hang up when trying to disconnect a call so I can in deed confirm the issue with disconnecting calls . Just a heads up.. I had to put the tablet into airplane mode to disconnect the call..

Honestly I'm grateful for what we have already, as I've said before I have been using the 2.1 daily since its release and it had less features than 3.0 so I can live with 3.0 until it gets looked @..

No pressure...

Hi guys...
Im new to the tab 7.7 forum, got my tab a few days ago

Im coming from the Galaxy Note forum, got a Rom posted over there. [ miui for the Note ]

I have been reading this thread and all the things that are not working yet, we had the same issues..
Most of them are libs realated [ the call hang issue, for example ]
I will be glad to help in anyway I can to try to solve the issues.

So.. my tab is ready for testing stuff!

ps. I also had a galaxy tab 8.9. I think that some files from the cm9 build from them would work here

Cheers

    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
