[Q] What is best device ROM (CM9) to port from for 7.7 Tab? - Galaxy Tab 7.7 General

i'm wondering what would be the best choice of CM9 from other devices to get the port from?
SGSII? NOTE?
please advice.

Seems note has the near the same hardware spec with 7.7, but s2 has the official 4.03 from samsung

I started from the s2 source (see the thread in the dev-section), unfortunately I have gotten really busy with work so I won't really be able to put much time into it right now. If you are interested in working on it, go look at the repos I posted in that thread. I've most recently been trying to get the touch to work properly, however, the driver for it in the 7.7 source code is a complete mess, and more complicated than other drivers that have been fixed for ics.

I have GT-P6800, does same repository apply to it?

All but the android_device_samsung_p6810 should, and that last one should be easy to convert. If you are interested in working on it, I would suggest forking the common ones so that we can share our work easily.

I'm interested in working on a P6800 too.

[Q] Re: ICS port for I9000/I9000B - BETA (ICS sources)?

Does anyone know if this port for the Samsung Galaxy S i9000 would be of use for our Galaxy S Epic 4G phones? I'm not sure what all the hardware differences are but from what I read, the i9000 is the base model that our Epic 4G phones were created from?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338636
Im working on it privately in my spare time. They are about as similar as the Epic is to the Nexus S. Similar board, similar processor but the drivers and the radio (especially the radio) are different being that the I9000 is a GSM phone. I am a total noob in the area of this port and have mostly just stuck to modding others work for my personal use but am learning as I go. I just got a second Epic 4g along with an old board that I have added onto that is running Ubuntu as a dev comp. No ETA's, this is my fun time project that I will post up if i feel it is workable and safe.
It may help in some ways, but first we need touchscreen support and right nowc, we don't have that fully because we use different kernel touchscreen drivers than the galaxy s and nexus s ics sources. Right now, we have 2 finger touch working (barely, incredibly laggy), but 1 finger doesn't work yet. I won't post the 2 finger because its just that bad.

right on, thanks for the replies... i figured there were differences between the phones but had no clue.
I've got a Linux setup at home and have java experience and have been looking for a place to start contributing here, but it looks like this may not be the best place to start

GT-P7500 owner here, a few questions about ICS

First of all sorry if this has been asked many times, I haven't found exact answers.
What is stopping GT-P7500 getting ICS stable and camera working as it should? As owener of this model I am very dissapointed with this model stock software and I am placing my hopes on ICS from any source (I hsve a modded Honeycomb which runs many times better than stock but still I am not happy since the best I found working for me was a ROM for the P7510 losing 3g support).
Is it Samsung not releasing drivers they should?
Is because of Nvidia not releasing Tegra2 drivers?
Or.. for example CyanogenMod team have all they need and it is a matter of time?
Thanks in advance!
First off I feel your pain but try and understand how hard the Cyanogenmod guys work. They provide an amazing product for free so patience is key.
That being said I have been running the p4 snapshots of ics on my GT-P7500 for awhile now and it runs beautifully minus the camera. Realistically you aren't going to use the camera that much anyways on a tablet.
It runs smooth and flawlessly and has really impressed me so far.
Find the link to Droid basement that gets you to the snapshots. Give it a try it can't hurt. You can find the link in this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461240&page=140
I would post the full link but I don't have enough posts yet.
Enjoy!
Or you can try the Overcome ROM (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348533), runs Android 3.2, but is very smooth if you combine it with the kernel provided by pershoot (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138167)
Thanks for the answer guys.
My queries were more to find out if the delay is because Samsung's fault for not releasing drivers for the community.
Of course for the cyanogenmod team I have all the patience in the world and my utmost respect for them, In fact all my hopes are in the devs community like them instead of samsung or htc (I own a desire), etc. for taking care of the devices I own For me it's clear which is the priority of most manufacturers.
Sorry to hijack this, but does anyone who's used the current ICS editions for the P7500 know if exchange email works "fully" (with calendar etc...) when I tried one of the first ROMs, this wasn't working.
Those you have live/hotmail accounts and have it setup as an exchange account should be able to confirm this one way or another.

You're welcome buddy i'd love to know more too, something will come.
Not sure about exchange haven't tried it yet. I unfortunately have to carry a second phone for work that's all set up with exchange. Its a Blackberry Bold 9900....boooooooo! If I see something I'll post it.

We need propriatery video/camera libs from samsung to work in ics, with tegra libs that has the specific video/camera libs compiled in. So we need libs from both,my understanding in any case, and that is only going to happen once an ics rom gets released/leaked.

Does 3G work with the CM release or is it wifi only? I have an unlocked Rogers galaxy tab 10.1 and would love to try out ICS on it.
3G works
I have a P 7500, and 3g works perfectly well.
So does the WI-FI, tethering etc.
I tried to have CM on my 10.1, but can't get it through, running AOKP M5 now on it, everything works fine on AOKP ICS, so you can try it, U will get addicted to it
exchange work great with milestone 5

[DEV Collaboration] Galaxy Tab P1010 WIFI - Cyanogenmod - Kernel 3.0.x

Hello Folks,
I am a Recognized XDA Developer and I work on Cyanogenmod for Samsung Galaxy SL I9003 which is an exact similar device to Galaxy Tab P1010 (TI OMAP3630).
We have got fully working CM9 and CM10 on Galaxy SL, with few minor issues with video recording and laggy interface. However, we are working on porting the new 3.0.8 kernel that was released on omapzoom. This new kernel would help us resolve issues that we have been affecting ICS and JB releases.
So far, we have managed to get the kernel booting with few basic stuff like Touchscreen, Panel, Audio, Keypad, Vibrator working. Galaxy SL is exactly similar to Galaxy Tab P1010 WIFI and it essentially shares the same kernel and I suspect that most of the userspace stuff also should be the same. I was informally asked by cdesai if I was interested to develop for this device, but I had to turn my back since I wasn't really having the time for it.
However, since we are working on a new kernel for Galaxy SL from scratch, I would really like to take the initiative of making something useful for P1010 too, keeping in mind the small user base for Galaxy SL, we thought our work could be useful for P1010 and would benefit more people.
We would like developers working on P1010 to come forward and let us know the current status of development on this device (Kernels, Custom Roms, Attempts at CM, etc), so that we could plan something accordingly. Also, we would be interested to know how many people actually own this device and would like to have CM over it. Let's use this topic as a playground!
Sources for Galaxy SL
Stable CM9 and CM10
Kernel: https://github.com/teamhacksung/android_kernel_samsung_latona
Device: https://github.com/teamhacksung/android_device_samsung_galaxysl
Experimental 3.0 Kernel

Thank you!
Let's do it people, I'm willing to help dhiru as well.
I'm in too
@dhiru (Y)
This is fantastic news, and thanks for considering the P1010 as everywhere else I've looked hasn't really got anywhere. While I'm afraid I won't be able to help with any of the development (I wish I could, but I'm too busy as it is), I can use my device for testing. Keep it up, and I can't wait until it's all sorted.
Personally, I'd love to have any version of CM on this tablet, as Android 2.3.6 is looking really dated now, and the interface is laggy compared to that of Android 4.1 devices. I've upgraded to CM10 on my Galaxy S and it's so much smoother than it was, I can only hope the same is possible for this device, as it's certainly capable.
Also, I know Motofoca over on the MadTeam forums was working on it (which you already know, most likely), but he's not mentioned anything towards progress in a while. I can't post a link though, considering I've got less than 10 posts, so you'll have to google it.
Any help I can give is gladly offered, now when it comes to coding I am rusty... In fact I think the rust has extra layers of rust but know what I am looking at and can spot the bugs and offer suggestions.
I have two of these and still think the actual build of them is excellent so would love to have some decent internals

I don't know whether this was a typo or not, but you can get CM10 or CM9.1 (stable) for the P1000 already. Just look on the cyanogenmod site for the P1. This is for the P1010 which is the WIFI only version of that tab and doesn't yet have a release of cyanogenmod for it.

BeanStalk port worked! Waiting for Scott's permission to post in dev section

I used this rom on my Samsung infuse and it would be awesome if a dev could port it to the s4!
If you look on the original thread in the infuse forums you can see step by step instructions on how to port it.
I tries to do it, but don't know how to do step 6.
It turns out I was able to do it on my own!

That rom is AOSP-based. So why don't you just try one of the other AOSP-based roms around here, such as AOKP or SlimBean?

I am currently running Task's AOKP and it is really nice (i found it better than Slim on the s4), but BeanStalk has more features.
I was just wondering if it would be possible to get BeanStalk ported.

It's not really easy whatsoever to port a Rom that is for a different device especially if the resolution is different for the other Phone.

That's where source comes in handy...it eliminates a lot of those issues, really all we need is xxhdpi (we should be able to cherrypick that from cm when needed) to be added into aosp and then source porting should be a breeze for the most part - if you know how to build from source that is...actually building a custom aosp rom like scotts, that's a different story
Zip porting is where resolution and all that stuff makes it hard/not possible
Just look at cm...its available on nearly every device...why? Because its got its source up. Basically all you need to do is add in all the correct hardware source, kernel sources, device sources and proprietary files and your good...not saying its easy, as you do need to figure out what you need to add in, as well as edit a few files...but its definitely not really hard (although some of those errors you run into do make you want to throw your computer out a window)
-I guess it is a little hard, but for the most part its pretty much the same for any source port...trial and error your way through errors until it builds
Anyways, I'm sure someone will get around to it...I was gonna try and compile pure aosp...but my dev environment needs to be updated before I can start compiling again (been months since I compiled anything)
If it can be ported to the galaxy s3, than it can be ported to the galaxy s4 (I'm not saying the two are similar, but both are completely different from the Samsung infuse)

Wow this was some great info!
I've never built from source, but I'm going to give it a try with TMO's cm 10 for the s4. Just to get a grip on dev'ing.
Thanks.
EDIT: Actually, it looks like cyanogenmod has the galaxy s4 AT&T github repo up to date. I may just try to build using that source.

Please keep in mind, in order to build from source you must have linux...actually I think Mac works too...but windows won't
Follow the link in my signature, its full of a bunch of tutorials, somewhere close to the top should be a thread called compile jb from ubuntu or something like that...follow that thread to get you started and get you build environment set up
-it is very confusing at first especially if your new to linux, bit once you get going it gets easier
Anyways, good luck!!! The great thing about porting from source is it gets your feet wet, gets you used to the basics with source...and eventually you can get experimental and start creating your own source roms...also, it is kinda addicting lol, for a while I was compiling non stop...I went from a flashaholic to a compileaholic lol...now, I'm neither due to my busy schedule but summer is just around the corner for me so that should change
