Update 10-5
To make steve jobs roll over in his grave, I give you CM7.
Now to make this perfectly clear.....
I did not compile the kernel.
As it is, I was NOT going to release this until I completed the kernel so that it said MY name in "about"
We clear?
JT1134 did the kernel. I updated my source to compile the same kernel. I built a more or less custom CM7 system, did my crazy thing to it, however I used one of MY systems I built on my machine.
I am saying this, because I dont like releasing **** that I feel I didnt make 100%. Alot of people are ok with this, I view it differently.
Its easy guys.
Flash using CWM.
Get CWM anyway you have to on the tab, Im going to say wipe everything first, mount system, flash the rom, then do a full wipe again, should boot. I myself had issues with initial boot up, but i realised system needed to be mounted.
3G along with everything else works.
Download BTL CM7 RIGHT HERE
Oh, the DPI is set to the 185 I like, sorry.
Changes Ill be making this week/weekend....
Adding the audio to boot animation
System UI tweaks
Kernel with MY name on it out of respect to JT1134
A second "stripped AOSP version.
Sorry it has been so long for this release, ive been running it myself for almost a week.
Update 9-26
Back on the game 100% right now.
I took a break as I was taking this project very personal, and that was lame.
I was having an issue with the build being stable, all based on the data partitions.
I am going to sync the latest material off the interwebs today, try a few new builds to release, I am hoping to get something out today, If the kids let me work enough.
I am going to reach out and help Boush, and JT with their build, and see if I can get help with mine, cause in the end, it's not a race, it's an open source community.
I am building one right now, so we will see how it goes, I am down to only 1 tab right now, and while it is the Sprint model, i caqnt test 3g till i get my verizon one back from samsung.
After I am done with CM7, I will probably sell 3 of the tabs off, and switch over to writing workflows.
I, am tired.
So, before I get to the dirty details everyone wants, the more important stuff up front.
Spacemoose.
A friend, my pal, my Yoda. None of this, hell none of my roms would be here if it wasnt for him. He helped in so many ways, almost all ways up until the end. I hope next week is better for you.
Technomancer.
For the code, the answers, the help, the help you gave Dan, and then me when i picked this back up. Still trying to reach you via GTalk, however, you to are another major help, if not the reason i have the ability to build this stuff.
=================================================
CyanogenMod7 for Galaxy Tab CDMA {SPRINT AND VERIZON}
I dont know where to start, this is kind of a big thing, bigger than the 2 GB roms i did.
This is built from source, based on the GSM source with many many tweaks, including tweaks I had to do last night, and even today to get it to run for 5 minutes on my tab.
This is Alpha build quality, what can you expect, let me tell you..
This is not daily driver material.
This may, or may not run for more than 5 minutes, though I do have a streak of 60 minutes today.
However it boots, and loads the OS, and allows navigating throughout the system, but can and probably will randomly reboot.
I know what the issue is, it is kernel level, I know exactly what it is, and will be all over it tomorrow starting 6am cst.
Whats Working.
?? good question, never took time to try stuff
Launcher Pro if installed via ADB
Whats Broken.
ADW Launcher (touch calibration is jacked up from ADW)
Calibration? (had to edit build prop to rotate screen 180 so launcher pro would register my touch properly.
I have run through the system today a few times till i ran the battery down, and it worked, no idea on 3G or wifi as at that time I was worried about basic functionality.
Stages of work....
Effect tomorrow I will build a few new kernels, including a new one that should place CM7 directly onto the SD card, test those out, and get that patch done I need to. I do feel that patch is 98% of the problem.
I will then address any bug reports, start a list in another reply i will save, and cross off each one as fixed to eliminate future confusion.
There may be nightlies depending on how much I can accomplish in a 16 hour day.
This will be stable, and perfect. Has to be, it's CM7
Instructions for installation.
Flashing zip via CWM
Place on SD card, wipe everything, then choose zip, flash, and for good measure, wipe again after the flash.
Flashing with Heimdall
Ill release a heimdall version tomorrow by noon.
Make sure to wipe data, cache, dalvik, fix permissions, just run with it, better to be safe, than sorry.
Links
Download Link for Flashable Zip
Reboot and enjoy for as long as you can, I can not test how it runs on other tabs vs my daily driver right now.
CM7 Source.....
Let me finish this alpha to a stable beta, organise my source's, make sure all my patches are in, and I will be more than happy to put it all up on my Github. Placing my current source up right now, might cause problems. I will also post instructions like Technomancer did. Yall know i love to edit my posts, lol so check back often.
If you like my work, feel free to donate.

3rd placeholder, and where I will be putting all sources, instructions, and patch information at.

Hey I sent you a email Oldmacnut. Sorry, didn't see you turned it off.
The zip you provided is broken I think. cwm says it's bad, and when i open with winrar it says unexpected end of archive.
Otherwise great work! I'm loving the support you've given verizon gtabs!

I rooted my tab when it was on froyo, unrooted it when the gb update rolled out and never felt the need to root it again.
If you get cm7 on my tab, I personally promise a hefty donation from me!
I'm so thankful us Sprint users have you in our corner. I have an evo 3d and there are more roms to flash that I don't know what to do with myself and cm7 is on the horizon for that phone also. Sprint didn't get as much love for our tabs dev wise (I'm not *****ing, god knows I'm not capable of doing anything but flashing) over here.
If there's anything I can do to help shoot me a pm.

This thread is meant to be used to help with the progress of the FB17 and FB09 leaks. Thanks to everyone who has pooled together.
--------------------------------------------
FB17:
Working: 3g, 4g, Wifi, Bluetooth, MMS, SMS, Face Unlock
Sketchy: GPS (not working for all), No root, No recovery
MANY PEOPLE are having issues with .zip file, so it is recommended to use the .TAR files for FB17. Flash at your own risk, as always!
All needed files are here: http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php?4961-Samsung-Epic-4g-Touch-FB17
--------------------------------------------
FB09 (OLD):
Working: 3g + 4g, Wifi, Bluetooth, Face Unlock
Not Working:
MMS (Workaround, use GoSMS from the Market).
CWM Recovery (Workaround, use ROM Manager to install CWM on a GSII (not E4GT) and you'll have a permanent recovery to make backups, flash other ROMs, etc...).
Loss of Service (Wordaround, keep your 4g on - even if you don't get 4g coverage - this seems to stop LOS from occuring).
GPS (No known work around yet)
Download from http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php?4951-Stock-Deodex-d-pre-rooted-FB09-4-0-3

Some tips:
Keyboard Issues? Go to settings > input & keyboard > default keyboard and change it to Swype to start. That will get rid of the laghag that Samsung has delivered us. Then you can grab a keyboard from the market or sideload one. Or just stick with Swype as it's working fine.
If you want ICS looking icons until a theme is released, download ROM TOOLBOX PRO and you can switch out icons.
EL29 seems to be working best for most, so I'd recommend using that when coming to this ROM.
GO SMS works for sending MMS as a work-around for the time being.
Need to go back to stock? Try a different kernel? All located here: http://115media.net/scarmon25/Epic4GTouch/

the zip is up. im using you guys as testers. im asking that you all stop fighting just for 10 mins and help out as a community we need to come together and fix these bugs. lets show sammobile that you cant judge xda by a few bad apples lets get this working great. so while yes there are bugs, i could eitehr work on it througfhtout the day and possibly come up with fixes... or i can release publicly and we can work together as a team, no more of this E4GT!!!!! bull****, or bubby vs the world crap.. remember its team android so buck up cowboys
also i posted some special instructions seems it has some issues when flashing some times, but not always
so qbking has a special litle dance that seems to work every time

Hi all,
I am going through all the threads that have ics based roms for our phone and thought it might be a good idea if we had a communal collation of all ics roms that are active in this forum with provided chainlogs and small reviews of said rom and what issues they have.
Reason for this is simple, to help other users that are not confident in flashing up to 4.0.3 unaware that they may run into something that they did not bargain for.. Hopefully this way we
A) Get a general run down each week as to what rom is working well which are not.
B) Issues/bugs.
C) Reviews of what works and not.
D) Temp fixable issues ie: auto rotation.
E) May help in less clutter in actual development thread.
I thought I would put this out see if anyone agrees here. I am more than welcome that if we use this thread as a starting point.
In no way shape or form that this thread will be used as a means of competitiveness between devs, to start flaming in any sort of fashion, this is purely a thread designed to help everyone with ics progression where its at, what dev's are up too and which would be safe to flash and what is not and is for experimental use.
Hopefully this could be a useful thread, with the dev's permission in doing this of course
Cheers.
I like the idea
+1 to this idea!!
There are already Q&A threads for each of the ROM's. Why make the board more cluttered than it already is by re-posting what is already in those threads?
People need to learn to use the search function and stop being lazy and actually take the time to read a thread every now and then. A thread like this will do nothing but enable the lazy to be even less productive and will not help. You will just see the same questions asked here over and over and over and over and over just like in all the other threads.
Also if people would read a damn OP like they are supposed to before flashing a ROM they would already know what does and doesn't work and if the ROM is a RC or experimental.

Valued response, and yes using the search tool does help, but. rather than searching for what is needed why don't we have one thread to sum up on all progression? This thread is not designed to have countless questions all this is to gather weekly updates on ics roms from there respected developer. If someone wanted to ask questions they should be directed to the respected Q&A thread as they have there own. If someone wishes to choose to read up on what is happening in the world of ics t989 development then they come here nothing more nothing less.
As this wouldn't be hard to do at every week commencing someone can be anyone can choose to post up any sort of update to any rom and that is valid for that week only... then make up another thread so for example this one wouldn't spiral out of control and inform a mod to delete or close thread... simple that way it would stay fresh relevant with what we want to know, and of course anyone can participate in this.
Again thanks for your input, I'm not saying this is what we should be doing but a suggestion to everyone and see if this would make life a little easier on some. Alternatively if you don't like it then don't post anything worth mentioning and leave for people who could benefit from it
Cheers.

To replace my battery and my camera since it force closes, I use QuickPic as my gallery and Camera zoom FX Pro as my camera. They work pretty well with some minor set backs.
Echo?
Are there any ICS ROMs that do not have an echo????
It seems to be an issue with the flashing process as far as echo goes...easy does it, my DD has no echo...actually while many people have reported that among other bugs the only one I have is the reboot hang...which really...tough **** I have to hold the power button down the few times I need to turn it off lol. Oddly though it does not hang if I reboot into recovery from rom manager.
Ics is really weird...everyone is getting different bugs following the same install process. I'm guessing some of our devices are more willing to adapt to the skyrocket kernel than others...

Guess you got the one with the magic bean.
Well before I went on vacation Tuesday I was playing around with a few of the different ics that are there for tmo gs2 and found that a lot of issues went away when I unmounted the SD card. The camera had no problem and I didn't notice any echoed sound. Kind of strange but one thing I noticed that a lot of native ics devices don't have external SD cards. Might be something for devs to look at.

Hey whats up everyone. After doing some research, and a gusty move, I read what people had to say in the link below:
Thanks goes to the thread of the GT-I9505 thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341026
This link has the steps to install the S4 Google Edition (Full system Dump) to our T-Mo S4's.
It's a pretty small file, and as always, create a backup before you install. I wiped my themed stock rom, then flashed the GE sys dump.
I've confirmed the following:
* Camera works / Video
* LTE works
* Phone calls work
* NFC works
* SMS / MMS works
* Wi-Fi does NOT work
There's a couple of other tests that I didn't run, but I'm still getting a feel for this as I write this.
Any questions should be directed to the link above, not here. But i'm sure by grabbing that system dump, that we can work out the Wi-Fi issue, or leave it to our developers hands. Thanks everyone!

Haha I did it while I was at work, too. No special kernels needed. Just as C.Sweat said, just download, backup, wipe, and flash.
My issue was that I downloaded the system dump from a different source link, thus im sure there was something corrupt or not compatible with the Wi-fi in that specific sys. dump. I'm not even going to do a logcat or any of that, especially if there's already a fully functional dump of the GE.
For those who want to install the Google Edition, please go here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxsSDB2hKUxgZDFoR0xNdldLTW8/edit?usp=sharing
Maybe someone can dive into the rom and pull the GE photosphere camera and port it into the stock TW rom, instead of having to find working patches and stuff. I doubt it'll port over (maybe the gallery will) straight out of the sys. dump, but for those who wanna try - have at it .
Also, another thing to note is that Google Wallet fully works (of course without XPosures' patching), and we're not given that "It's not available for your provider" nonsense.
This rom = So much win!

Very safe to say
Any idea why wifi did not work at first?
After installing the full system dump from GPe to TMo hardware... are there any software differences that remain between the devices? Kernel, etc? Or are they truly 100% identical? Thanks!
Haven't tried yet, but am anxious.
Anyone check NFC, IR Blaster yet?
I was just over at the AT&T GS4 forum and they are talking about some partition difference.
If that's the case, then some GBs of space will be wasted
Is there something like that on the T Mobile version too ?

Maybe someone can dive into the rom and pull the GE photosphere camera and port it into the stock TW rom, instead of having to find working patches and stuff. I doubt it'll port over (maybe the gallery will) straight out of the sys. dump, but for those who wanna try - have at it .

Someone posted a recovery flashable ZIP in the I9505 forum.

Is the kernel compatible OTB for M919 ?
NM: Just flashed it. Worked like a charm! Thank you to everyone from the guy/gal who provided the dump to all the people who uploaded to various sites. Oh and big thanks to Tmobile for keep note 2 and s4 similar to international variant.

question and help
while using SlimKat 4.4 for the T Mobile Galaxy S4[/SIZE]
PLEASE make sure to thank the entire Slim Team for their dedication to this ROM
Please do not clutter any Development thread with non related development chatter
*
I am not the developer for SlimKat, SlimBean, Slim Fast, Fat Boy Slim, or anything else with Slim in the title.
This is NOT a development thread and as such is designed to be a little more noob friendly than a development thread. Please don't hessiate to ask any questions you have here, but please do try to search first to see if there is a known sollution to your issue before posting a new question about it.
If you have development related bug issue, send an bug report to the Slim team. See post 2 for instructions.
Please see this note from the Slim development team and PLEASE take it to heart!
Please note: SlimKat and KitKat in general is in an early stage. Still some apps are not compatible and still some devices have to fight with smaller issues on the other hands a lot devices are already quiet stable. Whatever please keep in mind that this builds are labled for a reason as beta builds. As a lot slim user know we only tag our builds stable when they are already 100% stable and all features are back. But you will be surprised how stable it is already

Indivudal apps need to be tweaks to run on KitKat. If you have a favorite app that doesn't work, check with the developer of that app first to see if it runs on 4.4 before asking why it doesn't work here. (If it was last updated in February of 2012 or something like that, it hasn't been tweaked for KitKat.). In short, it's probably not the rom's fault.
As of December 8th Blk_Jack is back on XDA with a new thread for Slim Kat!

That is a development thread. Keep your posts there development related. That does not mean "How come my phone no boot?" or "Thx for this ROM iz smooth like butta!". That means specific issues tht haven't been reported 900 times previously. Search that thread for a similar post to yours BEFORE posting!!!
Reporting Bugs:
The Slim Team has a very specific way they ask that bugs be reported. You can do it right through the bug report feature of the ROM. But do it this way...(This is right from the Slim site. It is the best way to make errors known to the Slim developers)
When you submit a bug you want to make sure that nothing from your side is causing it. Otherwise your developer might be hunting a bug which doesn't really exist. The best way to achieve this is by doing the following.
1. Make a nandroid backup.
2. Perform a full wipe (factory reset + wipe /system)
Now we have two different ways, 3A and 3B, depending on what kind of problem you're having.
3A. When you're having a problem with a ROM function, flash just the ROM without GAPPS etc. and boot back into the system. You will boot directly onto the homescreen.
3B. When you're having a problem with a 3rd party app in combination with our ROM then flash the ROM and GAPPS.
Boot now back into the system. You will boot to the setup wizard.
Log in to your Google account but make sure that you untick "Restore from my Google Account to this phone/tablet".
Finish the setup and open the playstore and download only the app you're having problems with.
Now when you're done with either 3A or 3B proceed with the following:
4. Now reproduce the bug (if possible more than once). After you reproduced the bug go into settings and SlimCenter and click on Bugreport. A bugreport.zip will appear on your sdcard in a directory called Slim.
5. Attach this zip in the correct thread along with your report. Please also write detailed description how we can reproduce the bug.
6. Restore your backup from point 1 and wait for a fix (don't ask for ETAs).

I know the device maintainers have been testing the S4 builds for a couple of weeks now and making improvements among their team. So you're not getting an early Alpha release here or anything.
The maintainer for the international S4 is very active in the i9505 forums and has been talking about SlimKat for a while, saying how stable it already is. That's pretty standard for the Slim team. They do not putz around with releasing buggy builds.
That said I'm sure it's not perfect yet. SlimKat isn't going to be 100% error free just yet and isn't going to help you create sustainable cold fusion or anything like that (yet...). So be prepared for a little wonkiness early on. But if history is any indicator, you can probabyl expect a really nice experience from from teh start.
Running good so far!! Missing some things from SlimBean that I really liked but being in beta they will eventually come. Will be my DD assuming I don't have any issues.

What do you see is missing so far? (I haven't even flashed it yet. I won't have the time for another 5 hours until I get home from work and put my daughter to bed. But I'm drooling with anticipation!)

The main things are all the status bar tweaks (hiding battery and signal bars), no theme engine, quick settings are missing a few things, widgets on the lock screen. All I can think of right now.
Still a very solid rom though. Currently will be my DD.

You can enable the widgets for your lock screen. Only bug I'm confronting is that NFC doesn't turn off some times. I have to click it a couple times through the quick toggles. Besides that, I get FC's with gapps but that's been mentioned before.

No theme engine? What are we?
ANIMALS!? What's next, do we have to eat our young?!
I kid! I kid! I understand it's a beta. I'm just messing around. It is funny though, I've gotten so used to my orange themed Androids that its a shocking concept to think I might have to use the standard blue for a week! The horrors! :laugh: (Again, I'm kidding. If anyone takes this seriously relax)
I do look at people who love TouchWiz and I can't figure out how they put up with not being able to change the colors. This is like the single greatest feature in AOSP ROMs to me, even more than all the actually important tweaks that make AOSP run so well.

Downloaded but haven't had time to flash yet. Is the Real Dark Slim in here??

There is already an update!
It's called Beta 1.1 Weekly and there is no changelog included with it so I imagine it's just some upstream updates and tweaks since yesterday and not a lot of major improvements. But an update is an update!

So far the beta builds give me trouble booting. I get hung on the splash screen a lot. It akes a bunch of chances to get it to boot. It always eventually works though.
Here's a list of what I've found is missing so far...
Transparent status bar
Dark Slim
Theme Engine
DPI changing in settings (Can probably still do it in build.prop)
List scroll animations
Probably more...
But it's all superficial stuff like this. The 'under the hood' type stuff all seems to work well.
