Ok guys, been working hard on a device tree for CM on the Galaxy Tab 2. Some people want to throw in some help so I thought I'd throw this out there to see where we are all at. Few notes first.

Disclaimer: RootzWiki, CyanogenMod, nor I are responsible for anything that happens to your device or data as a result of flashing this ROM. You have already voided your warranty by rooting the device. Please take caution and if you are unsure about anything do not flash this.

Second Note: I am not affiliated with CyanogenMod in any way, I am not part of the team nor have been tasked with creating a device tree for this tab. It's just what source I have chosen to build on. Please do not complain to the CyanogenMod team about any bugs, problems, etc with this build as they did not build it.

Ok details now.

Changelog for build 4:
-----Fixed FC in Storage settings
-----hopefully other weird layout issues taken care of. Don't ask me what this is I don't know.
-----symlinked /mnt/extSdCard to /extSdCard for easier access
-----Fixed streaming content in browser not playing in video player where it's supported

====Kernel====
-----Reverted to 1.0 GHz for the included kernel (OC zip coming soom)
-----Updated kernel to 3.0.31 (latest 3.0.y)
-----Merged in some interactive scheduler upgrades

Changelog for build 3:
-----Off-mode charging animation fixed
-----Audio capture (camcorder/voice commands/chat) fixed
-----MTP/PTP fixed (file transfer) note: not Kies, Kies has no idea what this is anymore.
-----Fixed up some display wrongdoings
-----Fixed up some stagefright wierdness

====Kernel====
-----Updated to official kernel sources
-----Reverted back to stock PVR libs
-----Re-overclocked to 1.2 GHz
-----Changed I/O scheduler to deadline
-----DVFS Optimized

What's not working:
--Flash inop
--Bluetooth Bluetooth actually works for connecting and data transfer..will not work for audio as I haven't gotten there yet.
--Chrome Beta not working yet

There are more but those are the bigger bugs that I plan on tackling first. Please let me remind you again, this is not what I would even call Alpha, if you want to play...then play. If you want to help...then help. If any of the bugs I listed are deal breakers then don't flash.

Haha I like how you added lower CPU steps on your kernel, I'm down to try it out if I can find a way to tether via Bluetooth.
Actually also if you would like to run aokp then tell the dev there to make an overclock kernel..lol its actually more straightforward that way.

Alrighty will do, it was just that I was running your cm9 build prior and really liked its performance over aokp. Since usually on aosp kernels are interchangeable I thought I'd ask the op of the mod first. Thanks for the help if I could I'd donate.

I just really wish I knew what to do to fix it as I'm sure its something really easy to fix... I swear the galaxy nexus made things too easy...
True I've never really done much on the dev side, I'm just an avid supporter and know what to look for in a kernel and rom if that makes any sense aha.
New build hopefully coming some time tomorrow. Made a little bit of progress.

Mic is now working, need to fix the resampler though so everyone doesnt sound a couple ocataves lower. fixed some stuff with the display setup. Hopefully will have bt audio and mic working as well. Next up is to fix mtp/ptp.

Are you getting any inkling that the Tab 2 will be a CM officially-supported device anytime soon?
So, how do I actually install it on the device? I can boot into "ODIN MODE" by holding volume down & power. How do I get the zip file I downloaded over there? Thanks.

Lots of stuff to fix still, so long way to go before I would approach anyone about it just yet.

This needs to be installed in Clockwork Recovery and not through ODIN. If you don't have Clockwork installed yet, find the guides for that then install and enjoy.

OK another update on progress. Fixed mic so now fully working for chat, voice commands, and camcorder. Fixed audio levels on speaker / headphones to match stock gains. Fixed off-mode charging animation. Still working on mtp/ptp and voodoo sound (at the same time..lol) Once I get these two things working I'll whip up a new build.

Hey, xoom, do you think it will be feasible to do a couple things with the external SD card, such as...
  • Trick ICS into using it, perhaps by making the internal mnt/sdcard a symlink?
  • Allow the external SD card to be formatted as EXT4? I'm assuming internal storage is already formatted EXT4.
  • Support for greater than a 32GB card?
Thanks!

That's great!!! I don't really know what mtp/ptp and voodoo audio is. Really the only thing that was a show stopper for me was the mic as I can't skype without that, skype being the primary function of the tablet for me.

If the other stuff is a ways away, would id be possible to get a build with just the mic fixes or maybe even just and update.zip with the kernel if that is all that is needed?

The only problem with this is that if you dont have an sdcard then things get funky.

So make it a switch that folks can apply when they flash a new rom/kernel. This would be for folks who more or less keep external storage in place, just as they tend to do with phones. One of the major issues with the Tab 2 7" is the pitiful lack of internal storage (and space on mnt/sdcard) after the OS and essential apps are installed. With 32GB Class 10 SD cards going for $20 and less, it's kind of crazy *not* to add one to this tablet! :)

It's not that simple. If, in fact, it is, feel free to do it yourself. We'd all be thankful. Also the smiley face doesn't help. Things take time and effort. Just be patient. I'm sure everyone is aware of such limitations, and if it was so easy someone would have done something already :)
I'm testing build 3, and so far I've encountered the following issues:
Settings -- Interface -- System -- Combined Bar -- AM/PM Style <-- The AM/PM text doesn't show.
Settings -- Device -- Storage <-- It FC everytime is selected.
Settings -- Interface -- Launcher -- General -- Auto-rotate Screen <-- When deselected, the screen goes to landscape mode (I ignore if this is normal behavior).

I will keep testing more and report back.
Thank you very much for the effort.
thanks for the feedback.

i havent really gone into the settings much so i wouldnt know these things without you guys.

as for the am/pm text...there are some display layout issues yet..this isnt the only one..still looking into this.

as for the storage..need to look at this it should be workimg so ill figure out a fix.

as for the orientation. since its a tablet setup landscape is the default orientation for the launcher.
