has anyone taken a run at his configuration to see where the magic is? - can it be integrated in the working build (perhaps an alpha 3 available for testing in a day or so?).

I really wish I were qualified in deep rom hacking... I get the jist and I have a decent background in technical problem solving, but i'm not a programmer and I'm not familiar enough with these types of embedded systems to produce anything near the level of quality that would be needed for public distribution... however, if we can get something stable enough for daily use with wifi and rotation, i'd be happy to beta test.

Sorry this attitude annoys me. Its not about qualified its about poking around and see what bleeps when you touch it. You learn a large amount by trying even if you dont achieve.

I am getting sick of people requesting/demanding that wifi works here. I am playing to see what I can get working, I want it as bad as the next persion if not more.


In answer to your question, I am just about to try some of his magic but dont hold your breath because nothing ive done has worked so far :)

I gotta somewhat agree with ya here man, i feel bad for even posting this as its not on topic. The way i feel is if you dont know enough to contribute to the dev side of things, like I, then dont make the comments about ETAs, what if you try this exc, you should be flashing it your self and providing feedback.

Ok sorry for my off topic post, and pls ppl lets stay on topic, if you can contrib then do so if not lets keep the thread clean.

And for the love of God please no one respond to my post if you disagree just think a bad though of me or something lol we dont need 2 pages arguing on this.

I apologize for causing discontent and worse, causing things to go astray. I'm not trying to "speed things along", but rather, attempt to provide helpful ideas in solving problems at hand, brainstorming, and attempting to give useful feedback. and cheers to all of the great devs here who are contributing their time. thank you.

I flashed Su-CWMPatch.zip provided by sinamosavi via CWM
But the Font Changer app says "Write Access for the system partition was not established on your device" :confused:

OK I got further then i did before but I still need to find the right driver.

The driver you need is compiled when you build the kernel, named dhd.ko, sometimes folks (like technomancer) have renamed it to bcm4329.ko. The main issue is letting libhardware_legacy.so know what module you're using, and setting a few other variables.

https://github.com/jt1134/android_device_samsung_vzwtab/blob/ics/BoardConfig.mk#L59

Notice I relocated dhd.ko to /system/lib/modules, most folks keep it in the initramfs, in /lib/modules.

Please add support for the P1010 too

It would be really cool if you could also add support for the P1010 version.

Thank you.

Think this method can get wifi working. I can try test if i can

That's what she said...

ICS Alpha2 Latin! P1000N

1st boot, yay!

30 sec boot, around 1m updating to 177...
my wallpaper, my apps running in background, so says superuser.
GSM working... no credit! hahaha
SMS received as soon as I put credit in, no notifications.
great dialing, always need to click speaker to hear.

Please update OP with keyboard and rotate fix as any other tips gathered... I've been reading them for the last couple weeks but cant remember them all.

no vi to edit build.prop? snif snif - adb pull...

lcd 172: launcher FC over and over, no work.
AndroidRuntime 1320 java devide by 0.

lcd 160: launcher good.
great! already watching videos! they dont take up the whole screen. top and bottom bar.. not a worry for now.
after going into MX Video Player, I'm all on Landscape. And got video zoom now! Got keyboard working.. and my Perfect Keyboard with split Tab layout working as always!

This is clearly the best Android OS ever! Fast and full of nice effects and landscape usefullness.
CPU a little too warm with little use. Just warm for now. Didn't watch a whole movie or anything.

Now let me try to play with whats important. No 3G, no Wifi.

I am SGT-P1000N, modem JP3. Screenshots by QtADB.

PS: havent used the new build.prop in OP yet.. wanna check the diffs first.

THANK YOU GUYS! Really exciting.

P1000L users you better thank humberos cos here's your kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/WKLREJ0FF7
Gapps link: http://minus.com/mbgPLHnlmN#2
^^ Only for ICS!
Apparently you can boot this on cdma sprint tabs as well (very long boot time at first) and P1000R!
FOR DEVS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19816349&postcount=422
We could get wifi working if someone adds this to rom and tests!
Also, remember, wifi may not work for some soo please post rom.

Do this at your own risk, no one is responsible for you bricking your tab.
Installation guide at bottom of post.
TESTERS NEEDED! TELL US WHAT WORKS, WHAT DOESN'T!

Things not yet working and/or are untested
Wifi
Camera
Bluetooth
Phone
Autorotation
Root

Things to Know
This build does not contain the 3 soft buttons we see on Galaxy Nexus. Reason being we have capacitive buttons on the Galaxy Tab. The 3 soft buttons are optional for devices without any buttons.

Have to install apps via adb

Honeycomb tablet apps works

Root solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19681622&postcount=262
thanks to sinamosavi for root!

Things not to do:
Do not flash it if you do not own a P1000 and NO. P1010 is not P1000. Neither is P1000N same as P1000
But apparently it boots on cdma sprint and P1000R

Things to do:
Please replace the build.prop from the rom "my link:" and add the on I attached

Video of it in action - [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXDmQCYGClc[/URL]

Quick and easy installation guide- thanks to thegrammarfreak
1. Plug galaxy Tab into computer
2. Mount USB storage
3. Copy ICS ROM to SDCard
4. Reboot to recovery
5. Perform a backup
6. Wipe data
7. Flash ICS ROM
8. Reboot
9. Reboot.
10. ???
11. Profit

Thanks to the lambstone for telling me what to post in OP!
Enjoy the rom!
Please rate this rom 5 stars and hit the thanks button if you like it!

ICS Alpha2 Latin! P1000N

after pushing the build.prop from OP I cant unlock the Tab. I can only click the corner soft button, see shot. (and it's the correct corner)
rotation is landscape but the oposite of what it should be (soft buttons on the right, so you dont cover the light sensors with your hand).
There are 2 lcd_density entries in that build.prop too.

ro.sf.hwrotation=90 gets it working again.

Just wondering if anyone has some ideas on these

1. since wifi , 3g dont work... is there a way we can enable USB tethering ? or somehow share internet from laptop to the tab thru usb?
2. Titanium backup says no root.. Root seems to be ok ..rooted using swm.. got prmpts etc.. enabled always allow.. Anyone's TB working? This will help in bkp/restore apps/configs etcs...

thanks all..

btw was able to take some screenshots using screenshot built app .. running from adb http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...ng-native-screenshot-capabilities-to-android/ color is false though
camera app running was able to take the screeshot and the camera view was captured well..



Thanks Ravindrank for asking your first question.

I have just connected my tab to the internet using the : Android Usb Port forwarding procedure here.....

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/android/UsbPortForwarding.aspx


List of public proxies available here for configuration:

I used Opera mobile.

    ICS for Galaxy Tab 7


    **PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE FLASHING!**

    Before you flash, Do an NANDroid backup, and then you can use an app called "App Extractor" to restore your important apps (Or you can use TB).


    Changelog is in the second post

    Supported Versions for GSM networks:
    • P1000
    • P1000N
    • P1000L
    • P1000R

    Supported Versions for CDMA networks:

    The CDMA kernel isn’t perfect at the moment, but it does work, so your tab won’t be bricked if you flash the right kernel, you'll just have more issues!

    • Verizon
    • Sprint

    Not Supported:
    P1010 (Wi-Fi only tab).


    Current version:
    Alpha 3


    Developers:

    Angel_666
    koxudaxi
    cdesai
    cheatman
    humberos

    Working features:

    • Reverse tethering- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1371345
    • External SD
    • Sound
    • Multitouch
    • Orientation sensor does work, but with a delay (you need to enable it in settings)
    • Wifi
    • Root
    • 3G


    Not Working:
    • Camera doesn’t work yet, and won’t anytime in near future, due to great changes in ICS. We’d have to either write of wrapper or find some other workaround
    (although it does work in panorama mode)
    • Bluetooth



    Notes:

    • Touch buttons can be enabled if you want, (ro.product.characteristics=tablet in build.prop).
    • Once you have a file manager installed, you can install app the normal way
    • Honeycomb tablet apps works.
    • Apparently you can boot this on CDMA sprint tabs as well (very long boot time at first) and P1000R!.
    • If you can't get Wi-Fi to work, check here how to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=1175.


    If you've got any questions, post them here(thanks joethc): http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=##galaxytab7-ics.


    FAQ:
    Q: Keyboard not showing up:
    A: Change dpi to 160 in build.prop and click on small keyboard icon and slide physical keyboard off

    Q: I've got no root?
    A: Flash the root at bottom of post (thanks cheatman), or
    http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=262,
    Then add the sh.zip (at bottom of page) file via adb to the /system/bin folder of this device.
    Thanks to sinamosavi for root!

    Q: Issues with apps and/or settings:
    A: WIPE DATA, THEN SEE, IT WORKS PERFECT!


    Install Guide(Make sure you are on ext4 file format and gingerbread bootloaders!):

    • Plug Tab into computer.
    • Mount USB storage.
    • Copy ICS ROM to SD Card.
    • Reboot into recovery.
    • Perform a ROM backup.
    • Optional, but recommended: Wipe data (if you don't wipe, wait for some time on home screen for the old data to work fine with the new rom).
    • Wipe the dalvik-cache.
    • Flash ICS ROM.
    • Reboot.
    • Flash the kernel depending on your tab, (thanks to humberto for this!)
    • Flash the root patch and then then the Wi-Fi patch.
    • Reboot.
    Enjoy!

    Not only bluetooth. Works all radio services. (BT,wi-fi,gps,Data). Works native - without any patches. Most part done, i think.. Now, I'm take a look at Usb, camera, and cosmetics (keyboard, and view layout)

    Btw. Resolution is 240 (tab native), I just using "Phone" ICS view.

    Hey guys,

    Just to let you know that I have released a new patch to fix physical keyboard that doesn't exist. Don't forget to give thanks!

    Here you go for the CWM patch:
    http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388146

    Cheers,
    C.

    Ok, now I can really say: IT TASTES AWESOME!

    Here you go, some pictures for your delight...
    Wireless now works WITH authentication. I will start preparing a CWM package ASAP for you guys.

    Now, please check the pics out and let me know what you think. The only problem with wifi right now is that it can't use DHCP correctly. I will look into it after i get you the CWM patch for alpha 3.

    So, you will need to use static IP and manually configure it. I have also attached a screenshot of what the mandatory settings are.

    Cheers and look during the following minutes for news and a patch.

    C.
