[PATCH][ICS][CM9] PDroid patch for CM9 - CWM Flashable ZIP

Hey guys,
Alroger has included a patched framework into one of his builds, offering support for PDroid. Based on their work, the modified JAR files seem to do the work nicely. Therefore, you can find the patched and unpatched versions of the files in CWM flashable format attached to this post.
Please report back if it works for you, as it will be valuable feedback to the team porting PDroid to ICS.
For more info on PDroid, go here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056
For more info on the port of PDroid to ICS, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554960
Notes & Observations
- Only compatible with official CM9 (Android 4.0.3 and 4.0.4).
- Only compatible with Recovery 3.0.x or later (should not be a problem with recent/modern ROMs/builds).
- This build is only compatible with SGT7 device variants and the CM9 builds released for these devices.
However, if you indeed get into trouble, try clearing cache, dalvik cache and flashing your original ROM on top of this package. No data wipe should be required!
Download & Install:
Download OP post attachment of your choice (based on CM9 0421 nightly)
Flash P1-PDroid-CM9-0421-CWM.ON.v2.zip to apply patch
Flash P1-PDroid-CM9-0421-CWM.OFF.v2.zip to remove patch
Save zips onto your Tab
Reboot in Recovery mode
Install zip from SD Card
Reboot tab & wait for Android to upgrade
Install PDroid app from market (market link)
Enjoy
Disclaimer
I will not offer support to anyone in case these ZIPs cause any harm or damage in any way. You are responsible of your own actions including flashing anything to your device!
Thanks and Credits
Thanks, in no particular order to these guys:
svyat for the initial work
pastime1971 for the ICS port
alroger for building the patched framework files compatible with CM9 and giving me his blessing to pack the patched framework files
Let me know of any issues or success stories in the thread.
Peace,
C.

I don't need to flash this patch as I already use alroger's build of CM9 ROM with PDroid (2012-04-24), but I just wanted to say thank you, as this is excellent news for next time when I don't use a ROM that already includes PDroid patches!
http://cafe-ti.blog.br/1524~sgt7-p1000-android-ics-cm9-mtd.html

Is this device specific?

It runs on all SGT7 variants running official CM9 build.
It won't work for other ROMs or other devices than SGT7.
PS: if it runs on something else, it is only by chance!
Peace,
C.

Ok...thanks anyway.
From the OP it read like it was good for any cm9.
Hope nobody flashes it on the wrong device.
Luckily I was smart enough to ask first.

I thought it is common sense since this is SGT7 forum?

Yes, @cheatman's post is exactly for the official cm9 nightly p1 and p1c (Galaxy Tab 7 GSM and CDMA).
And he offers the removal of the patch also, in case you have any problems.

thanks will give it a go

Hi Cheatman,
Will this work on AOKP ICS?
Or will it need a different one? Can you build one?
Thanks!!

First thing: updated OP post to avoid confusion.
Secondly @priyana: It will probably break AOKP builds as the framework is heavily modified compared to CM9. You could try to flash it and report back, but be ready to flash AOKP again on top of it if it bugs out.
If you have issues, you will not need to restock or wipe data. You can just flash AOKP again on top of it and it should return to normal after a reboot.
Peace,
C.

Thanks Cheatman.
Just to feed back here.
I just tried applying it on my aokp build #31 but can't boot into the OS.
Flashed the from again on top of it and I am back to aokp like you said.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA

Same for me with AOKP. After installing the ON package it boots up to the part of updating, the next start it doesn't boot up anymore and is stuck on the bootlogo and makes a short vibration in repeated intervalls.
Installed the OFF package, updated on first boot, doesn't work anymore on next boot just like the ON package.
Too bad for me as I'm going to use the train now and could've used the tab.
Thanks anyway and I'm still interested in this and would hope to see a fix.

You can still use the tab by flashing aokp again.
All data intact in my case.

I know that and did that already because OP wrote that in the first post:
"However, if you indeed get into trouble, try clearing cache, dalvik cache and flashing your original ROM on top of this package."
Works as usual but no pdroid.

OK.
Read you wrongly because you said too bad, you "could have used the tab"
I thought you meant now it is unusable/broken, hence the reminder.

NOW it's official! :laugh:

Downloloading now! I've been a very happy AOKP user but I've been dying to try out CM9, I just wanted to wait until they were officially "Stable" (even though I know the nightlies have been solid).

Ah nice. Good to see it finally made it to RC status. JellyBean is just around the corner now though.

Just Voided my warranty with this. Now my refrigerator is 10 degrees warmer inside and all my ice cream just melted. Anyone else having this issue? Otherwise ROM is great!
Thanks!

Just made the switch tot CM9. Came from AOKP.
Always used CM on my N1. But when I got my GN I saw that AOKP was much more popular. But now with CM9 I'm just as happy as the good old N1 time.
(I really hated the unicorn stuff on AOKP..little bit immature if you ask me)
I didnt notice much speed or battery life differences. Will post my opinion later this week.
Thnx Cyanogen

Unsure why OP has outdated gapps (dated 03/17)
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip here are the latest gapps (04/29). And before anyone asks, yes I flashed RC1 with this gapps (04/29) and works fine.
Great release! Looking forward to additional CM9 contributions being made. Switched from AOKP as well, so far so good... only feature I really miss is resizing the navigation bar.

Didn't really remove anything.. they just simply updated the gapps with newer versions of Google Apps.

Nice!

Is that the latest GAAPs? I seem to have a load dated April 29th here.

Ya but are all the features/options found in AOKP are in the CM9? For example, weather on lockscreen, different choices for status bar drop down toggles etc? Last time I tried CM9 I found it stock and not to my liking. I like customizations like AOKP has.
I found out later that the unicorn was considered cool by others so it didn't bother me as much and once I installed franco kernel, I typically replaced the boot animation with franco's...

nice, give it a try...
and yeah, the rainbow unicorn is definitely uncool and the biggest problem of aokp!

Coming from nightlys, should we wipe everything then flash or can we flash over the last nightly? Thanks in advanced

I'll give this a go. I'm not flashing often enough anyways

You can always flash a different boot screen, it takes all of a second to do and if you use TWRP you can just chain the boot screen. I didn't care much for the unicorn, but I dont't think much of CID either.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say that officially you should wipe and start afresh, but feel free to just flash over the top - just don't expect much support if you run into issues.

About the toggles. I really liked the AOKP ones, more ICS like. But... They take up all lot of space. You can simply press to hide but I like them to be there quickly..

Weather on lockscreen is there. Status bar drop downs.. there. Lock screen customizations, etc.
Many of the features from AOKP are in CM9 (with the recent versions of AOKP they're actually implementing features FROM CM9 into their ROM).
Such as their kernel, GNParts, AOKPStats, and a bunch of other features.
Try the ROM, just make a nandroid backup beforehand.. if you don't like it. Swap back. Like I said, only feature I REALLY miss is resizing the navigation bar to a smaller size.
I liked AOKP but I had a large number of problems with the ROM, my main issue was that it was being bloated with more and more unnecessary features.
AOKPtips.apk, swagpapers, etc.... basically unnecessary things like that. They all add up and build up to become a very bloated ROM. Not to mention again, they've started to add features from CM9 into their ROM which made it even worse. CM9 is more simplistic but still very customizable to use.

Troubleshooting
Mobile, Data, 3G problems? This ROM comes with the JPZ modem. You might need to flash your customary modem back. Just copy your modem.bin to /radio in the Tab.
Wrong MAC? Wrong IMEI? Try restoring files from /sdcard/backup/efs*/* to /efs/. If you don’t have a backup, then start over with FULL Restock, and next time save your backup/efs folders, which are created everytime you install CM10.1.
Market problems? Clear Google Services Framework data and reboot.
Multiple users is NOT supported by the OpenPDroid Patches.
Developer options: can’t find it? It’s hidden! Tap About tablet / Build number 7 times to unlock it.
No touch? That means you got the wrong kernel installed. A couple of builds had problems identifying the exact model. Just flash your kernel through recovery or heimdall / odin.
No boot? Stuck at the SAMSUNG logo? Flash the correct kernel using Download Mode using heimdall!
Deep Sleep not kicking in? Try wiping cLock’s data or freezing / removing it (com.cyanogenmod.lockclock).

Dev-Host Downloads and Ads
Please notice that Dev-Host has some really nasty snicky intrusive Ads in their download pages. DO NOT BE FOOLED! There is only one REAL download LINK, and it DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO WAIT, INSTALL, VISIT OR DO ANYTHING. And it's usually the smallest most discrete button of them all.
Check out the image bellow and be carefull with all the ads around the real download button. They might float around and trick you into clicking them.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience that might have caused. I've never even noticed that was happening because I use a HOSTS mod for blocking those nasty ads and sugggest that everyone do too. Check it out in this site: Blocking unwanted connections

I've got a cdma gtab and the resources to put up a build environment for it. I suck as a developer though, but would love 10.2 on my old tab so I'll take a crack at it if I can bug ppl here for help.

Hi alroger I am running your 4.2.2 version 10.1, without having any problem at all
I don't know if this one has any bugs, Is it possibe to update to this one only by just clearing cache and davlik cache through TWRP and after that to install the Rom , OpenPdroid and Gapps? I have to install all from scratch?
By the way the link for Gapps for 10.2 is not working page opens but is not downloading , I had already downloaded the rom and OpenPdroid
I have a full backup using TWRP to restore if I have any serius probems.
Thanks in advance and for the efford

No, can't keep your configs between major CM versions... you can try, but usually ends up in bad results. I recomend factory reset / wipe and restore your apps and data using something like Titanium Backup, but NOT the system settings.
Yeah, gapps seems to be having temporary problems right now... how about this temp link for you guys in UbuntuOne: gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip

Ok, possible bug report, bluetooth headset doesn't seem to be working with skype and oovoo, how to get logcat again! Thanks.

How's video playback going on this one? That's a biggie for me, and has seen me take a little longer to move to each new version. I stream or store on an sd card, mp4's etc up to 1080p of about 1.5g and on 4.2.2 with mx player they are pretty much perfect.
I can certainly say that you guys have been beyond outstanding in keeping our tab relevant. Every time I think it's time to upgrade, it just works well enough (a bit slower I know, but still works) to keep my money in my pocket. My bank balance thanks you all!

[ROM] Manta [KOT49H] 4.4.2 r1 Pure AOSP [12/18/13]

Good Morning fellow XDAers.
Here is a Pure AOSP KitKat build pulled from Google source found HERE
I will try to keep this updated with most recent source builds and minor tweaks. This makes for a good base for anyone to build from for a pure AOSP source. Just wanted to get it out there for people to use.
Instructions.
It is highly recommended that you flash using CWM recovery. TWRP may be updated but I haven't used it since KitKat released Again, if you brick your device, it's your fault not mine. This is a Beta so by clicking the download links you are taking full responsibility.
*Backup your current ROM
*Make sure you are using CWM recovery
*Do a complete system wipe
*Flash Rom
*Flash Gapps
*Flash Superuser pack
*Reboot and enjoy
Update 12/18

* increased email attachments allowance to 20mb
* any file type transfer thru Bluetooth
* closed some memory leaks
* art tweaks
* animation cut in half for stock launcher
* up to date with Google merges via android-review.googlesource.com
Download aosp_manta-KOT49H-20131218 HERE

Needs testing but youtube works through the browser fine. Please make sure you have a fresh wipe, then flash rom, gapps, su, reboot. Also, you may experience gapps fc if you enable ART. Since it is still ART is still experimental, I would hold off of that for now.
My keyboard doesnt pop up any longer using the new googlehome.apk. it took a little bit to settle down but if you have the issue either deal with the glitch or delete the apk from /system/app
Alpha upload 11/11
Download ROM from HERE
Download 4.4 Gapps from HERE 4.4.2 Gapps from HERE

Thanks to a good buddy for motivating me to even get back in to compiling and messing with source. It's been awhile. Could the retirement be over? not likely. But you never know. Once Google releases the updated props I will update the OP.
Enjoy!
Don't be cheap. If you download hit the thanks button. It's free!

Just in case for apps or mods

you never know if a third is needed

Yeah, transparency is done, and some other low level tweaks. Over all it's very good. We really need the props released to finish the build correctly.

Cool...I don't think SlimKat or CM11 builds had the transparency enabled(may have changed since I last tried them) so this would be good way for people to check that out since the word is it won't be enabled on the Nexus 10 when Google releases.

I better double check. If it isnt I will fix and upload. I thought I did it but was a late night...lol
edit.. it wasn't done. But it's being uploaded right now with it done. Also, swapped out to have the stock native wallpaper_default.jpg. Should be done in less then 10 minutes and will update the op after.
Hoping to have fixed the USB OTG problem too.

Thanks for your work! Sounds like the official 4.4 is rolling out already. Looking forward to the final product!

It would be nice to get the binaries so we can have a proper AOSP build.

I will be working on this tomorrow afternoon. Got the ota updated and system pulled. Now that we have full props we can polish off this aosp. You'd be surprised how similar this really was. Hope the props fix the video glitches.

4.4 binaries have been posted by google. I should have a release sunday. Couple busy days ahead. Have the reboot to recovery working but once I added a system pull binaries it wouldnt boot. So need to dig in to see if we need a new kernel. Either way good days ahead.
edit: Ok, factory images have been released for us. But, there is also a new build tag for the manta. Will be release 4.4 r1.1. It contains a different kernel as suspected. SInce this is the case, I decided to just start fresh with a new sync.

Woohoo, we have a full booted pure aosp 4.4 r1.1
Will post link in op..give me a few
Edit..Youtube app works great. Now the fun begins. I want to keep this as close to pure as possible. The 4-1 reboot menu and OTG is a must. but then just transitions and stuff like that. Have fun with the rom gang.

Gotchya, I'll give it a shot once Mediafire starts working. It seems to be down for maintenance. If I may ask, how does the performance compare to 4.3? I ask because I'm hearing conflicting reports of being fast and the same for some.
EDIT: It won't work on TWRP?

I think with ART vs dalvik there seems to be a boost. It runs smooth as silk. Also, I have Google home installed and it settled down now where the keyboard stops popping up when you hit the home button.
Only think I see not working so far is the tap n pay in settings. Says services not installed.
Even the print seems good once you install an HP print app. Synced right up to my printer. Its work a full wipe then flash ROM, gapps, and then su. Make sure you back up. But I wanted a fresh install for KitKat anyway.
Edit... I don't think twrp updated the recovery yet for KitKat. Use a cwm 6.0.4 version and its golden

I just installed this about 30 minutes ago and so far its running great. I am using ART instead of Dalvik and it runs really well and smooth. There was only a small sluggishness to it for me when I would go left to Google Now, but after using it for a little while it seems to have gotten better.
Youtube worked awesome and so has everything else, Gmail, Chrome, Google Plus, etc. The transparency looks amazing on this tablet, great job!! As of right now this rom's a keeper for me.
Edit* I also installed this with the newest CWM. I tried using TWRP yesterday on a few other 4.4 roms and it would fail each time.

It might be due to the Google Experience Launcher. My experience of installing PA ( which replaces Stock Launcher ) stuck at black screen with Notification bar working. It seems GEL has a problem with our device though am not sure if thats the same problem you are facing.
Hence, i shifted towards Banks GAPPS or PA which does not replace Stock Launcher.

Thank you for bringing OmniRom to the NS4G!
Sorry if I'm bothering you with this. I get the same error prompts in your omnirom too. I did a clean install (using Philz Touch Advanced CWM). I think it's a setting that is specific to these 4.4 roms vs the 4.3 ones. When I run the 4.3 roms from Slim roms or Hellycat, I don't get these errors prompts.
ERROR PROMPTS: "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped."
ABOUT MY PHONE:
- no data plan.
- wifi-only device.
I PM'd you the logcat from this new omni build. I did an ADB logcat from bootup again. Please copy my logcats to your notepad or something. I will delete them off my dropbox by tomorrow, since I assume you do not need me to keep these files and links. I hope these logcats will help you with your builds. Thanks again for the time and effort you spend on these roms!

Hmm, interesting.. do you have at least Mobile Network. Nevertheless, if you are using it as wifi only,
Add the same in build.prop.
ro.carrier=wifi-only
And disable the following lines for good measure.
rild.libpath=/vendor/lib/libsec-ril.so
rild.libargs=-d /dev/ttyS0
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310120
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint
ro.telephony.default_network=4
Send me the logcat after you try this.

Thank you! This works on this OmniRom build! No more error prompts!
Oddest thing about flashing this Rom though. I was able to successfully flash this OmniRom, after I first flashed your CM11 AOSP one (from this thread). I did a "clean to install a new rom" option in Philz Touch Recovery, of course. However, if I tried to install OmniRom after previously having Helly Rom, or even factory original (with root), I get stuck on the boot screen animation. I was able to recreate each of these scenarios at least twice. I'm probably making a newbie mistake somewhere. Thanks again for all your hard work with these Roms!

Same EXACT situation here. I tried the Philz Recovery, different gapps, tried going from Hellybean etc but I can't get Omni past the boot screen. I will keep trying though. I REALLY want to get this past boot screen
Edit ....my NS4G is still fully active too so I can test everything. If someone can please post a link for the gapps that worked for you that would be great...unless the ones in OP are what those of you that have it running used. I tried the P.A full stock 4.4.2 and ones in OP but this was around 20 min after this thread went up. Thanks!

I'm a real minimalist with the GApps. I only installed Banks' GApps 4.4.2 Core, and just install a few other Google apps (i.e., Gmail) via Playstore.
I also install from zip, at recovery, the SuperSU update v1.86 (see: SuperSU thread), because I find I get errors with the baked-in Superuser in some Roms.
Another problem I have while using this OmniRom, is that this launcher keeps losing some (3 or 4) of the apps I put on the desktop/homescreens. It's repeatedly the same apps. (EDIT: Fixed with flashing the Rom again, after a clean install.)

Try flashing pa modular full, that's the one am using. And format system partition before you flash omnirom.

KitKat has the weird habit of automatically changing home screen pages on installation of new app instead of using the current one. If that's not it then can help you cause it never happened to me.

I was stuck on boot animation, after using Philz Touch (Advanced CWM Touch 6.0.4.5), and using "clean to install new Rom", sometimes combined with "clean cache, clean dalvik" for good measure. So, for experimentation purposes, I then used the CWM 6.0.4.3 Non-Touch, from Rom Manager app installation, then flashed this OmniRom again. After a long boot animation of the "Omni" symbol, the Rom successfully went to the homescreen.
EDIT: Unfortunately, same bootloops happen with NonTouch CWM 6.0.4.3. Again, the only time I got past boot animation is if I first flashed adityxavier's CM11 Unoffical 4.4.2 AOSP rom, then clean data/factory reset, clean cache, clean dalvik, then flashed OmniRom (wait for it, the boot animation takes a while).
To DEV:
- launcher losing my apps --> fixed with re-flashing of the Rom.
New issues:
(1) I have been getting distorted graphic rendering at times. It especially happens with some SuperSU prompts, and also some of the times I go to the Settings > Performance section. I'll try to logcat for you next time this happens, to catch these graphic rendering issues (assuming logcat will log these too).
(2) Issues with stock android email app, and Gmail app, not updating with any new email notifications, nor any new emails, using Banks' GApps (EDIT: Fixed with the 4th or 5th reinstall of the Rom.)

Press your "menu" hardkey, or longpress an empty space on the homescreen, there should be a "widgets" option from there, to add widgets to the homescreen.
EDIT: No Lockscreen widget option, that I know of, yet. Will post again if I find it.

I tried it on the lock screen and nothing came up
