Likelyhood of seeing a 4.2 ROM for the Tab?

Does anybody know if 4.2 roms will be worked on for this or is pretty much dead with development for this device?

Are you asking if from Samsung or XDA? As far as on XDA; 4.2 has barely finish merging for CM in the last few days. I am sure we'll see it when it starts coming out for other devices. We'll definitely not see it from Samsung.

We have great developers who will work on this.

No no I didn't mean from Samsung. Lol I wouldnt expect much from Samsung any more. Upgrading to 4.2 would be too generous on their part to do for us. I did mean from xda developers. I guess I am just impatient because I thought something would have popped up now from someone even if it was just an aosp based rom.
I guess I will just wait a bit longer and hope something pops up sooner rather than later.

Samsung has already said that they would not be releasing Jelly Bean at all for the 1st generation Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7xxx. There are already couple of Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 unofficial builds out. For example, Pershoot has a CM10 and Triptosyll has published an AOKP build.
4.2 AOSP has a bunch of quirks and bugs that are just now getting ironed out, I also have a Galaxy Nexus and 4.2 has been a bit of a rough road. Triptosyll mentioned in his thread that he wouldn't be working on 4.2 until AOSP has stabilized.
From a user perspective there isn't that much different between 4.1 and 4.2, the biggest changes are framework support for the multiuser feature. Since our Galaxy Tabs have only 1GB RAM, don't expect that feature to work well at all in 4.2 anyway. The other big feature is the 2 finger swipe for quick settings and toggles. However, coming from CM10 or AOKP, you already have better toggles available in the base notification shade. So don't get too impatient for 4.2. 4.1 has most of the goodies already.

I just installed that one, works well, haven't tested the microphone yet. You guys should give it a try

Ok I finally tried a 4.2.1 build, the one form DDyno. This is the best this tab has performed. Its not as smooth yet as my galaxy nexus, I expected something comparable but I still have faith.
Everything works except for the new "voice search" from google. Video playback is awesome, and the stock android browser just flies. This is how this tab should have worked in the first place.

I got it a few days ago.
Although it looks and runs smooth I have an issue where I cannot add any data to the device.
Can't browse the device in windows explorer, download, update, take pictures, receive files through BT, etc.
Very strange, been reading and searching for the last few days but haven't seen anyone else comment the same.
8 more posts and I'll be able to ask for help in the correct thread.
Till then the tab is the most expensive clock I ever bought.

Perhaps you should clarify what you are unable to do on what android version. Are you using a nightly? If yes, then you need to enable USB computer connection using Settings > Storage > USB Computer connection (using icon on upper right corner) > Connect as Media device (MTP).

I already did that.
But since you asked for it:
Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 - GT-P7510 16GB
CWM Recovery v5.8.3.1 (not able to install higher version)
Previos ROM version: "boot-cm_2636.4_ux-oc-xtra-vfpv3-d16_fp-102411.zip"
Installed ROM version: "cm-10.1-20130109-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip"
Trough some other website I got some instuctions on installing the latest nightly.
But either the instructions weren't very clear or I skipped a few steps. (probably the later)
I did however take the roms from Cyano website. The wikipage did not have installation instructions yet.
Should have come here in the first place.......
Anyway,
After updating CWM from 4.0.0.4 to 5.8.3.1 installation went smooth. (install file was named "cwm6010touch_INSTALL.zip" but no touch and no 6.0.1.0. Text color changed to babyblue and menu is slightly different from the previous version)
Wiped data/factory reset,wiped cache partition, wiped dalvik cache.
installed from zip file "cm-10.1-20130109-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip"
Reboot and everything looks good. WiFi, bluetooth, etc all seem to work.
However....
1-
I can access the tab through my computer. shows up as "Galaxy tab 10.1" somethimes as "gt-p7510"
IIn Windows explorer I see "internal storage" but can not browse this storage.
2-
I can not download anything. It force closes the browser.
3-
Bluetooth:
Pc and tablet pair nicely but sending files to the tab is not possible. "Storage issue"
4- I cannot download new/old nightly files.
5-
At first startup it did not ask for my google account. The one you need to access the market. Did not see/find the option under settings.
Have to log in through browser to download from the market. Which doesn't work because the operating system is convinced that there is no fre space resulting in a force closuse of the browser.
So in short, it seems I cannot add any files to the device. (5.3 Gb free)
Is there a workaround for this?
I do have access to the folder data/media/0/0/0/0/0/0 with my old files including the above mentioned droid installation roms, "cwm6010touch_INSTALL.zip" and "US_LPL_4.0.4_bootloader.zip"
No Logcat sorry.
Any help on how to reverd back to my previous ROM or to get this one working would be highly appreciated.
Old ROM is prefered. Since I got whatsapp working on it.

Did you flash the recommended gapps package (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?o6e8kowyuc59zjc) after installing the ROM? This I would say are at the heart of your issues? However, if you are still having issues it might be worth following the instructions in this thread CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightly Discussions. At worst, you might have to Odin back to stock ICS using this thread. Hope that helps!!

Now could be the problem.
I didn't since I read somewhere that it was optional.......
I am however now running correct CWM version 6.0.2.7 (recovery.tar.md5 file)
Tried reinstalling the rest but no improvement.
Is it possible to get this Gapps package on the tab via Odin?
Odin seems the only way to get anything done at the moment.
Thanx for the help. Feeling I'm getting closer to a solution.

Don't think there is. I think your best option is to flash a stock ICS ROM and start over. On the plus side, it should already have the ICS bootloader and recovery that you flashed. Follow the steps in nightly threads once you are back to stock.

Thanxs for the tip regarding flashing back to stock ROM!
I was so busy reading/searsching several threads about the problem that I never thought about starting from scratch.
But....
After having gone to stock ROM I tried again a few times.
Followed the instructions from the nightly thread.
Same issue,
Since I have to work again next week and don't have time to struggle with it I've decided to go back to Task650's V14 for now.
I'll wait a bit more for the "official" release and give it a try again.
Thanks again for the help!

FirefoxOS ported to Samsung Galaxy S2 (JellyBean 4.3)

I've finally opened the new official thread for this port:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612940
Thanks!
Hi,
I've been working on supporting GT-I9100 for FirefoxOS with JellyBean 4.3. This is going to be the near-future for next FirefoxOS releases so thanks to the previous work done by CyanogenMod on porting this device to JB4.3, I could ported it to FirefoxOS.
I don't have "privileges" to create a new thread on i9100 development forum and announce there all the work I've done, so in the meantime I thought that someone here could be interested in testing it and helping
Right now, the only way to have an image and installing it on you device is building it by yourself, just follow these instructions: plus.google.com/117885749590235128300/posts/cH2qU1hcLEC

Hello,
I've currently no time to try compiling (and i had to uninstall my linux recently...) But I will definitely keep an eye on this thread and be happy to test when you succeed to provide a precompiled image (or when I get a little time to compile it myself)
That might be a silly question but is there any chance that it works white other aosp based rom like Paranoid Android ?
Thanks for your work !

Well, the dual boot can be extended to add other ROMs easily but it will take a lot of time to test them all so for now I'd stick with Cyanogenmod 10.2. Anyway, all my work is shared via github.com/atilag so any collaboration will be appreciated
I already provided a CWM installable .zip that you can find here: https : //mega.co.nz/#!0NUwEAxK!AQXMXzjmkQRiMvn6auQEEkN3sL8eOn0GFFXSRyXzdvE

Yes, this is a CWM installable .zip.
It is dual-boot in case you have installed CM10.2 on it. If you don't, you won't be able to dual-boot.
I wanted to reach the necessary post count to create an official thread on developers forums fot this port, so I just used this one as a preview... this is the reason cause there's no much more information about the port in this thread
Anyway, visit the link to my G+ post and you will have further instructions, I cannot post links yet, so build it yoursefl: plus.google.com/117885749590235128300/posts/cH2qU1hcLEC
What doesn't work:
* Graphic issues (some laggy)
* No mobile-data (it connects to 3G/HSDP networks but don't transmit data)
* No Camera

how to boot back into android
Hi Juan,
First of all thanks for the effort of porting Firefox to SGS2, I have successfully installed the zip file that you have posted and I have booted into Firefox. Like you mentioned no mobile data, no camera, no bluetooth. Voice call function ok. I have not managed to connect to a wireless yet. Can you tell me how to boot into android instead of firefox? I have installed the zip on top om CM 10.2 so dual boot should work.

Hi, first of all, I opened a new ROM thread (and thus the official) for this port: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612940
If you want to boot into CM10.2, you have to use adb this way:
adb shell cr.sh 1
This will reboot the phone in this very moment, and will boot into CM10.2.

I can't write on the official thread yet, you know how that is. Curious if anyone has tried the i727 skyrocket yet and what results. Thanks in advance.

So I installed CM 10.1 on my phone and now it says it can't find any contacts on my SIM card. Is this just an issue with CM 10.1, or did installing it delete the contacts?

Apparently it's an issue with jellybean rather then CM0.1; some fixes might be try inserting your sim card into a spare phone that uses a lower version of android (gingerbread/froyo/ics) or a different os and save the contacts there, and send them over text or bluetooth.

So I found another problem with CM 10.1: I can't use my SD card. It gets recognized under Settings -> Storage, but I can't play music from it, and I can't view files in it from the file browser. Is this a known issue (one that other people are experiencing) with the 9/20 build of CM 10.1 for this phone, and if so, is there a later build that fixes it?
It's not a big deal since all of my music is on an iPod I carry with me (usually), and I don't do anything else on my phone that needs more than a few MBs of space, but it's annoying.

I'm on the 09/20 build and SD card works fine. Perhaps you need to format your sd card so that its compatible with android; I believe it should be formatted to FAT32, and try using Root browser (free from play store) and go to extSdCard and the files should be there given that the sd-card is working. There are more builds after 09/20 but since the original dev has not reuploaded them to goo (or goo has deleted them by accident) we're stuck with 09/20 until I can build a version of cm myself (I'm somewhat close to it).

I have a few of these phones and they are great, I cant believe we don't have more devs on these for a clean unbloated rom. Let us know if you come up with something. :_)

Just a quick update; I'm done exams which means I could start my attempts at porting over CM10.2 again. I had some issues applying a patch needed to enable STE Hardware, so I just manualIly downloaded the files to the correct places for the time being (which should get help me get past the build-error I was seeing before). I'm compiling a build now, and hopefully I don't run into any build errors and can test in on my phone.

There is stock firmware, unless you mean an AOSP version? I don't think any of the U8500 based phones have AOSP built, so porting it over would be difficult. There's also CM10.1 available for the phone with working camera (no video camera), issues with audio at times (which requires a reboot). I'm working on CM10.2, but running into some kernel issues, so I yet have to see to how that goes.

I managed to find an odin flashable rom somewhere that includes su so that's what I'm running in the mean time. I tried both the roms in the o.p.
Pac was pretty close to what I like in a rom but it's abandoned so there's no chance of the bugs getting fixed.
This is such a great little phone and now that metro is giving them away for free I assumed xda would be blowing up with development but I guess not...
I'll be checking this thread everyday and I'll test out any thing you come up with. really looking forward to your rom.

I managed to compile CM10.2 and it did indeed boot. I'm not yet releasing it because camera is missing. But other then that everything seems fine, does require more testing, and I've been working non-stop for a couple of hours now (it's 4am here, lol).
Edit:
Changelog:
V.1.0.0
- initial build of CM10.2
- SmartAss v2 governor (should help with battery life) (unjust already had this there, and I could add in other governors in future)
List of Current Bugs:
- missing camera (have an idea on how to fix it )
- random boot logo appears (i believe this was on pac as well, will look into it)
- torch not working (dependent on camera working as well but since camera isn't working, torch isn't working as well)
- sound issues (like CM10.1 most likely)
I'll make a new thread for this rom, once camera is working, and we could start from there. I've yet to test out calling and bluetooth.
Just a reminder; I'm learning how to dev as I'm going so please don't expect nightlies (slow upload rate + lack of free time + lack of knowledge) and fixes to be posted suddenly.

Excellent. and thanks for not adding another half baked ROM to the list.

Grabbing logcats and dmesg along with last_klog.
These are helpful in figuring out what is going on
Install the sdk in you PC http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Logcat
"adb shell logcat >logcat.txt"
This will run until unplugged or ctrl c and all the content will go into that file
dmesg
"adb shell cat proc/kmsg >dmesg.txt"
This will run until unplugged or ctrl c and all the content will go into that file
Last_klog
"adb shell cat proc/last_klog >lastklog.txt"
This is for if you have a reboot run this right after the device starts back up and it will get me the last dmesg from before it reboot and will help determine the cause of the reboot.
This will help me and everyone that uses this ROM as i can determine the cause of issues.
Thanks

Thank you for the continued HP Touchpad Development and support Flintman.

Thanks to both of you. For the roms and the video walk thru. I haven't tried art on the touchpad because it actually makes my Galaxy Nexus slower most of the time. And with some gapps it's even worse. Since it isn't listed as broken I am assuming you have tried it. If I may ask. What gapps did you use and what was performance like? It prevented my nexus from booting at times. Just wanna stick with what you have tried until I get use to the new data media and such. Thanks again.

Added another build see OP for what was changed. I also adding in a touch recovery TWRP with data/media and SELINUX support. This will also allow you access to your webOS media folder which is know in the new build as external_sd. I have tested out all the features and everything is working great but please save a full backup from your previous recovery if you decide to use this recovery as it's still in an Alpha state.
Enjoy

Thanks a lot for this amazing ROM and the recovery I had few bug with the reboot ... The recovery freezed and i have to manually reboot to unfreeze it ... A part from that great job Can't wait to see what you are going to bring next
And just one little request ... I love having the clock center on the status bar ... Do you think you can add it to the Evervolv project ? That's would be a great feature

I have flashed with this recovery about 20 times now and only got the reboot to hang once. I'm looking into it.

Okay, I am doing something wrong. I have downloaded the recovery multiple times from multiple devices. I have tried installing via TWRP and manually extracting the image to /boot.
Each attempt, I get:
Checking uImage... Invalid Size
BOOT FAILED!
Please SELECT to continue
Any thoughts? I can still load my backup copy of TWRP without issue.
Update:
After purging the other copies of TWRP from /boot, the new version loads without issue. Thanks flintman!

Discovered that the TP 4G not compatible with the test 3.X Kernel yet
Hey Flintman just wanted to point out my findings after going crazy over the past couple weeks trying to figure what I was doing wrong when flashing the test Kit Kat ROMs w/3.X kernel.
Previously my TP 4G was working fine on shumash's SCHIZOID 4.2.2 ROM but I was extremely eager to try out the new 3.X kernels. I first tried out your non-data/media Evervolv 4.0.0p1 version and was unable to connect to WiFi despite repeated clean install methods and variations of cache wipes. I know that I had re-sized partitions with Tailor sufficiently for Kit Kat as warned so I then attempted to try out Invisblek's CM11 ROM. Not only was WiFi still not wanting to toggle on, but the rotation sensor was acting oppositely for landscape orientations and I was getting frequent crashing reboots just going through the UI. I then decided to try out JCSullins' updated CM10.1 ROM with his 3.0 kernel and then encountered the same behavior as Invisblek's CM11 ROM, but with even worse random touch driver issues that resulted in erratic automatic screen touches and ultimately soft-reboots.
Restoring a backup to SCHIZOID's 4.2.2 ROM worked fine to restore all functionality, but I couldn't help but think that I was still doing something wrong.
I got a hold of a normal TP (WiFi only model) and tried your latest 1-10-2014 Evervolv 4.0.0p1 ROM and was amazed to see that it was working great including WiFi (although 5GHz APs don't seem to scan as reliably as the past kernel) aside from the known issues. I tried the exact same install process on my TP 4G again just to see if anything changed, but unfortunately WiFi still wouldn't toggle and the orientation sensor behavior exhibited the same opposite landscape behavior as Invisiblek and JCSullins' ROMs.
I had thought that aside from the 3G HSPA modem in the TP 4G model chipset-wise it would be identical to the WiFi-only model so kernel 3.X developments would be complimentary across all TP devices. Unfortunately this doesn't appear to be the case and I hope with time you guys are able to work out any compatibility with the 4G model to benefit from the already terrific development that's going on with the 3.X kernel now.
I admire your guys' skills and look forward to all the improvements in store!
PS: I'd be more than happy to beta test anything you guys feel would address any compatibility issues on the TP 4G!

If we flash your twrp will it remove cwm or add another entry? I've never been able to have two recoveries working. I would much rather not have to use the power button and what not all the time in cwm but want to make sure I'm covered if something goes wrong. Thanks

Due to the limit of the boot directory it will remove all recoveries before installing this one.

Sorry for the Nube question I've searched and I'm sure it's been answered already....
So I got my touchpad with ClockworkMod Recovery version 6.0.1.9 can I flash the TWRP SE data/media recovery from there? Trying with the acme installer 5ET has failed.
I do have the original 4.4 Evervolv up and running and my partitions have been updated.
Thanks
Steve

So I replaced the ulimage in the boot directory and was able to install the 1/10/14 rom. So I guess I needed to search and just try a little more.
anyway -- I think it's a little slower than the first 4.4 version.... Maybe I need to reboot.... thoughts?
steve

Both using same cpu settings? Although with more things implemented it could seem slower.

I am curious. Have you tried turning the 4g off. Like airplane mode then just turning wifi back on? Was thinking of getting one of these models to tinker with.

I think it was because of sync.... it's running smooth now. after I loaded a different set of GAPPS.
Now I have to figure out the camera apk. it would help if I RTFM.... Thanks Flintman for the awesome update!

Which version of gapps is recommended for 01-10-14 version?

i have what you see in the pic above. i have not tried/tested any of them out so dunno what each is capable of. i can share whichever you want...

if you can post a working link of the aokp_xt908_jb-mr2_unofficial_2013-12-04 and pz version i would appreciate as i am unable to find a working fw with those features, aokp is one of the few that i did not try as i was unable to find any working links to download it.

Sent you a PM as well
Also, you might need to flash GSM fix along with the ROM

i installed it an its highly customisable and works really perfect with bt without freezeing like the other fw do
3 points
1) its version is 4.3.1 and was bit laggy (even without gapps) i was wondering if i you could link another version like 4.1.2 or anyother as it might be older but smoother
2) i know about different gsm fixes but i can't remember witch one is needed in this case
3) what gapps should i choose i tried it without
directional arrows on nav bar while keyboard is active is the coolest thing i ever saw on an android
thanks for your help

Try http://goo.im/gapps first.
And if 4.3.1 lags for you then 4.1 won't likely help either.

didn't you receive my PM? I sent you a link with atleast 4-5 other AOKP versions. Try them out. According to one developer, 4.3.x was the heaviest of all JB versiona, try aokp_xt907_unofficial_2013-08-09.zip or the aokpzmod_xt907_nightly_20130726.zip that I sent you links to. They're both JB 4.2.2 (my favorite JB version). There's an AOKP GSM fix that I think should be just fine for you to use. For Gapps, I would recommend Core BaNkS Gapps. I can share if you want.

@AndyYan
there are too many gapps in that folder i installed a jb one but it wont work for it...what is the criteria to choose the correct one ?
@rahimali
i didnt see the pm msg at the biginning now i did ...thanks very much....the nightly one wont boot hangs on boot logo ...tried to wipe ,format erase...it wont boot....all the other roms it will give 7 hours of download time for each ...it will give error after about one hour of download...
will try later with the rom aokp_xt907_unofficial_2013-08-09.zip in case the download completes...what do you think gone wrong with the nighly installation ?

PM
@sewershark, I've sent you another PM
