Hi @decatf,

how do you emulate NEON instructons? Do you do it in the illegal instruction handler in the kernel?
Do you emulate all the instructions? This is the logcat trace:

I have some Unity3D apps which fails to load, could it be due to missing instructions?
I just read that any device with Tegra 2 is no longer supported with the Update to Unity 5. This tablet is a Tegra 2 based device.

The 3G is a bug and will not work. However, P4 devices can flash the p4wifi zip.
Also flash the TWRP bigsys provided, and reboot recovery, before flashing ROM.
The links are broken, but @sdshadow posted an alternative link for both ROM and twrp somewhere earlier in this thread:

Thanks for your reply. I have magisk.apk which is unreadable to the ROM. I already changed .apk to .zip and flasked it. I, however, got a message from TWRP saying unable to install zip file. Do you by any chance have a magisk.zip?

I did the update on my old Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P7500 and Android 8.1 works. Thank you a lot. Unfortunately the system is not very fast. So I installed "Magisk-v20.4.zip" on the tablet to get it rootet. The App SuperSu tells me that the tablet is rooted. But if I start "SetCPU" to overclock the tablet - this does not work (""root access not granted").

Is there another way to overclock?

Error reporting guide:

Saying "it doesn't work" will not get your problem solved. Save and upload the system logs from your device so that I can see what happening on your device.

How to save system logs from within Android:
  1. Root the device.
  2. Install SysLog.
  3. Reboot the system.
  4. Reproduce the problem.
  5. Open Syslog app and save the Kernel Log and Main Log.
  6. Send me the log files stored in /sdcard/Syslog.
    Share the files on Google Drive or another similar service.
    Then PM me a link to the files. Please describe exactly what the issue is.

The kernel log from the previous boot is stored in memory. If the device or kernel crashes then retrieve the previous kernel log from recovery.
How to retrieve the previous kernel log in recovery:
  1. Advanced
  2. File Manager
  3. Navigate to /proc/last_kmsg
  4. Copy File
  5. Navigate to /sdcard/
  6. Select Current Folder
  7. Swipe to Confirm

Getting logs though ADB:

how do i download it

o) I had it once that the power button did not wake up the tab, it was like in a deep standby/freeze or something, had to reset the device, will provide a syslog next time.

tried it without rooting file, still kills the tablet in sleep mode.

so , I think I am going to have to go back to the 2017 build, even without installing root, just the aosp-8.1-p4wifi-20181011.zip and open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20181222 .zip build , I noticed today when I think I had it in sleep mode , it would not power on by itself without first pluging in the usb to the computer port, in charging mode it was able to power on again, again I didn't have this bug or problem with the [ROM][Unofficial][AOSP] Android 7.1.2 Nougat build, that one worked without this problem, it doesn't die in sleep mode , or hard power off to the point, it wouldn't again power on without first getting the battery in charing mode, with the 8.1 build, I don't no why or whats causeing this problem with my Samsung galaxy 10.1 tab, model GT-P7510_XAB, again this tablet is only stable for me using the 7.1.2 build and older ones, this 8.1 build for some reason in sleep mode , hard powers off , and it will not turn the device back on with the button, unless its in charging mode, otherwise this old tablet acks like an paperweight without being able to turn it back on again etc.. only fix for this problem has been to put it into charging mode, in order to reboot it up again, otherwise without the uo) I had it once that the power button did not wake up the tab, it was like in a deep standby/freeze or something, had to reset the device, will provide a syslog next time.sb cable it acks died in sleep of death mode or sleep mode with this build, aosp-8.1-p4wifi-20181011.zip , the other thing is I did turn on the encrypting android feature, but that also worked before without problems under aosp 7.1, I going to have to downgrade the OS system on it again, until this bug is fixed. on this tablet model model GT-P7510_XAB, wifi only Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 p4wifi device.

o) I had it once that the power button did not wake up the tab, it was like in a deep standby/freeze or something, had to reset the device, will provide a syslog next time.I'm having the same issue where the tablet won't wake up after it sleeps. Have to hold the power button until it reboots. I'm not at home to run logcat against it yet, but I will do that later.
Hi!
Has someone managed to solve the issue mentioned in this thread before, when the tablet won't wake up from sleep by pressing the power button? I'd like to use this rom, but this issue makes it really impossible.

    I have ported this device to Android Linux kernel v4.4. This is the official Android kernel for Oreo. This ROM requires a completely new kernel and recovery. Read everything before use.


    Recovery - TWRP BigSys
    • TWRP BigSys will use a different partition layout in order to have a larger system partition size.
    • Flashing TWRP-Bigsys with odin/heimdall will overwrite the cache partition. Format the cache partition it in recovery after flashing with odin/heimdall.
      Partition layout:
      Code:
      Before:
          [  system (578MB)  |  cache (448MB)  |  data (16GB/32GB)  |         hidden / preload (300MB)          ]
      After:
          [           system (1026MB)          |  data (16GB/32GB)  |  recovery extra (16MB) |   cache (284MB)  ]
    • TWRP BigSys is not compatible with any ROM before Oreo.
    • BigSys partitioning is based on BigPart for Motorola Xoom.


    Kernel - Linux v4.4

    This is based on the official Android common kernel. The drivers and platform specific parts ported from the original 3.1.10 kernel.

    Working
    Code:
    Tegra 2 platform
      Downstream video/avp
      Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling
      USB (ConfigFS)
       - no host mode
    Voltage Regulators / Battery / Charger
      tps6586x
      stmpe811
      max17042
      p4_battery
      nct1008
    Display Panel
      cmc623
    Touch Digitizer
      mxt1386
    Audio
      wm8994
      3.5mm jack
      voodoo sound driver
    Wifi
      bcm4330
    Bluetooth
      bcm4330
    GPS
      bcm4751
    Sensors
      mpu3050: gyroscope
      kxtf9: accelerometer
      ak8975: compass
      bh1721fvc: light sensor
    Haptics
      isa1200
    Misc
      Samsung misc partition. (Stores reboot mode and proprietary control bits)
      Samsung LPM (off mode charging)
    Will not work
    Code:
    3G/Cellular modem
      xmm6260
      tegra usb phy hsic
       - No mainline kernel driver for this USB interface
    Cameras / Flash
      s5k5ccgx
      s5k5bbgx
       - Incompatible camera stack 
    HDMI
      sii9234
    Samsung 30-pin connector
      keyboard dock, dongles, accessories
    Functional differences
    Code:
    Enable force usb charging at kernel boot (rather than android init).
    Add haptic vibration strength.


    ROM - Android 8.0 Oreo
    The ROM is AOSP based.
    It is one ROM and recovery for p4wifi (GT-P7510), p4 (GT-P7500), and p4tmo (SGH-T859) since 3G/cellular will not work in the kernel. There is no difference between the two devices other than the cellular modem.

    Customizations:
    • Advanced reboot menu
    • NEON emulation
    • Apollo music app

    Working / Not working:
    • See the list under the kernel section.

      - Low reproducabiliy.
      - Possible causes:
      - tps6586x regulator does not power off (due to i2c transfer errors).
      - Hard lock up when CPU1 is offline and wifi sdio bus is on.
      - host1x syncpt stuck.​
      - test1:
      - Proper power off: Press power button for 2 seconds to power on.
      - Improper power off: Press power button for 8 seconds to power on.​
      - test2: Reboot to recovery hangs after OS shutdown instead of rebooting to recover.


    Other known issues:
    • Android OS stuck at boot logo:
      - Cause 1: The HIDL HALs not starting properly
      - Cause 2: System services die and loop forever
      - Workaround: Reboot device


    FAQ

    Will X feature work?
    - I have ported everything I can to the new kernel. Anything not mentioned is not going to work.

    3G / Cellular?
    - The Tegra USB driver in mainline kernel does not support the USB interface which connects the modem.

    Camera?
    - The camera devices are not working on the mainline kernel. The camera blob hasn't worked right since Lollipop anyways.

    Can the old 3.1.10 kernel be used on Oreo?
    - The old kernel is not working on Oreo.

    Can the 4.4 kernel be used on previous ROMs?
    - No.

    Will this kernel work on Galaxy Tab 8.9?
    - No.

    How to return to stock partition layout.
    1. Install a non-BigSys TWRP.
    2. Format system and cache partition.
    3. Reboot to TWRP

    Hi decatf,

    will there be an update in the future? Last release was back in April. Just wondering... or did your last 10.1 die and the project is EOL?

    Thanks and kind regards,

    mistersixt.

    I didn't think anybody was really using the Oreo ROM since the UI is so slow on this device. The next version of Android is out which means Google will soon stop providing updates to Oreo. I'll update this ROM a few more times until the last version of Oreo. That will be the end of Android ROMs from me.

    Android 9 won't work on this device. The framework has changed too much since Android 4.0 ICS. The ancient Nvidia graphics stack can't be made to run on it. I wasn't able to hack it to work.
    8
    April update is posted.
    Changes:
    - android-8.1.0_r19
    - Linux 4.4.128
    - Add back cache partition
    - Fix a potential issue blocking wifi suspend
    - Fix an issue with audio not working after suspend
    - Fix bluetooth gpios
    - Correct a voltage regulator configuration
    - Disable Android Go configuration

    This brings back the cache partition by placing cache in the remaining unused space of the hidden/preload partition. See the first post for the partition layout. Flashing TWRP-Bigsys with odin/heimdall will overwrite the cache partition. Format the cache partition it in recovery after flashing with odin/heimdall.

    I've posted an 8.1 ROM. Do a full wipe when coming from 8.0.

    There are no changes with regards to the recovery/install issues.
