[MOD][KA7]AOSP Lockscreen[Devs4Android][01/22/2011]

This is the AOSP lockscreen for the newest KA7 leak that Krylon360 & Chainfire found. I think Whitehawkx was going to do this, but I got a little board.. so I did it.
This has only been tested on the deodexed version, if you are on the odexed version, be aware this may not work.
I still need to fix the menu to unlock bug (It is really easy to fix, I will do it early tomorrow)
Anyways... You guys are going to want the download link, but first.. Please read the disclaimer..
*DISCLAIMER*
By flashing anything found on this page, you cannot hold us responsible if anything may go wrong with your device, like if it were to explode, turn into a transformer & run away, or start smoking..

To flash this, just put it on your INTERNAL sd-card (as the .zip) boot into CWM recovery & install... Have fun!

This is awesome ... thank you

I flashed this under the assumption that Trigger v1.1 was a deodexed rom... I still think it is, but if it isn't someone please correct me. It went into a boot loop right after installing it, so I let it continue to loop for a while then pulled the battery and tried again. It booted all the way up this time, but now it won't go into the market. I tried a fix_permissions in ROM Manager, but it only fixed the permissions for ROM Manager itself... Any ideas? I got this thing just the way I liked it and forgot to do a backup...
EDIT: I saw that Trigger has a new version v1.2 that includes the lockscreens and couple other new things. I'm just going to flash that and re-customize. Thank you anyway for the potential help.

Try clearing market data and see if it lets you.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already downloaded and am in the process of flashing and customizing the new Trigger ROM. I saw that it already had the extra lockscreens I wanted and a couple other miscellaneous things that looked intriguing.

Help!! Boot loop stuck!

On, I flashed overcome, and it gave me a new recovery. I then restored my stock ROM backup. It got stuck in a boot loop
Now I can't boot to recovery!! Help!!
I can get to download now, but how can I get to recovery? Please please help!!

Get the overcome kernel in .tar format, flash it via odin. You should get a recovery mode.
Or find a CWM in the dev section flashable from odin or heimdell.

I love you man. seriously. Your effort is really really really appreciated. I can't express it in words. Thanks a lot man, you're a legend!
So will this definitely fix my problem? So, flashing the kernel should also give me the recovery right? so from there, I press volume up and power, and will that give me the overcome recovery?
then do i just restore my overcome backup, and reboot, will everything be wokring as it should?
Thanks a lot once again man, you have really saved my pants, I feared the worse for my tab!

Btw, when I was on overcome, I never managed to nandroid restore.
Not bootloop, just the result force closes. And I had to wipe data and restore from TB.
Edit: kernel download fine from here.
Have you heard of the anonymouse site?
Sometimes you can use that to proxy.

Thanks! But once I have the Overcome recovery back, will my overcome backup restore? Will that work and be possible?
So once i flash the kernel, can i access the recovery by volume up and power? Can you confirm this please mate? Cause at the moment, pressing it does nothing, but i guess it is because i have no recovery installed, am i right?
cheers

Ok. try this.
If you were in overcome ROM, if you are on the SAMSUNG bootloop and get into download, you should get into recovery by flashing the overcome kernel.
if not we'll try something else.

That is strange but since I wasn't in overcome rom for long I trust you with it
If that is the case, then you may need to restock or reinstall overcome kernel.

Funny that you asked. I just bookmarked Priyana's ICS install instruction.
There is no official ICS for our tab and will never be. There is a value-pack update coming, a gingerbread with some ICS taste.
However, there are several unofficial ICS roms around. CM9 and AOKP-SGT7 being the most stable ones (although many people still have small problems with some stabilities and inconcistancies). am on AOKP myself - for the past 3 months - and happy with it.
For AOKP install instruction, refer to this

you are halfway done through installing AOKP, btw.

Woo hoo, brilliant, I might try to install later on when I'm familiar with overcome.
Having said that, overcome was working brilliantly for me, but this morning, my device rebooted 3 time! After that I got random force closes, and now the apps won't load.
Is this due to the kernel being undervolted? Which app can I use to overvolt? SetCPU only seems to let me undervolt, not overvolt... Any suggestions mate?

Probably more like factory reset wipe needed.. if not worse, the problem priyana told you about earlier. On how restoring from an overcome back up may give you force closes on apps.

It was funny that not many people mentioned it in Overcome.
I think it is the CWM in Overcome Kernel that is the problem.
You can try RedPill 2.0.1 kernel.
In my experience the battery drain was better than Overcome, it works with Overcome ROM.
But I think it could be the nandroid backup that is the issue, meaning Redpill recovery likely won't help with backup that was taken using Overcome recovery.

[GUIDE] Root for GT-P6810 on ICS

Tuesday, July 17, 2012
XDA Members:
With the newly released ICS update for the GT-P6810, some users will inevitably update their devices and somehow lose root in the process. For those unlucky users, downgrading to HC for root and then re-upgrading with MobileODIN is no longer the only option. There are some options for obtaining root via stock recovery instead of ODIN, but I saw that a few people were having issues. Probably not a problem with the method, but variety never hurts. So here is a VERY direct method of rooting your GT-P6810 on ICS. Please feel free to simplify or improve upon this method and post it here. Progress helps everyone.
WARNING!!: The following steps MAY trigger the counter on your device. However, they didn't trigger mine.
Prerequisites: ODIN or Heimdall
Notice: Some basic flashing experience is required for this. Review the steps FIRST!
DISCLAIMER: The only guarantee I make is that this worked for me. You run the risk of tripping your device's counter, corrupting your device, or bricking your device. If you don't know what you're doing, this is not for you. I accept no responsibility for ANYTHING that might arise as a result of following this guide!
1.) Download the following files:
a) CWM for P6810: http://db.tt/B6mTm9fd CREDIT: locerra
b) root for P6810: http://db.tt/kcuvYG5k CREDIT: mashkuov
2.) Put your device in "Download Mode" and connect to your PC.
3.) Open ODIN and verify that it sees your device.
4.) In ODIN, click "PDA" and select the CWM *.tar you downloaded.
5.) Make sure that you haven't selected to format/partition your device and flash the *.tar.
6.) Upon completion, your device should reboot. Copy the root.zip to your device, and then reboot into recovery.
7.) In recovery, flash the root.zip and reboot.
8.) You should now have root in ICS!
DISCLAIMER: The only guarantee I make is that this worked for me. You run the risk of tripping your device's counter, corrupting your device, or bricking your device. If you don't know what you're doing, this is not for you. I accept no responsibility for ANYTHING that might arise as a result of following this guide!

XDA Members:
Okay fellas. Just a quick survey. How many of you were able to successfully execute the steps in this guide without difficulty? If problems were encountered, what were they? Did anyone trip their flash counter by using this guide? Did anyone soft or hard brick by using this guide? I'd really like some feedback.
On a second, but similar note, how easily were you able to follow the guide? What do you think I should add to it or remove from it? Should I make it into a full, click-by-click, newb-friendly guide? Should I trim the fat and simplify it? Or should I leave it as-is? I'm flying blind here. I've written small, simple, easy to follow guides for stuff like "build.prop" edits in the past; but I've never written a guide for something that involved ANY kind of flashing. So any critique would be very welcome. I've always felt that the biggest of XDA's strengths was its community's standard practice of openly sharing. So now that I've shared my guide, I would like to, in GPL fashion, open it up to corrections, additions, modifications, and improvements. So if you've got anything, anything at all, please go ahead and post it.
I thank you all for your time and hope this guide has been a help.
Thank you,
Edward (Mister_Mxyzptlk)

I didn't have root before,
So this method is the best at the moment for anyone running stock ics

Steve_max said:
Another option is just to flash ICS using MobileOdin with the EverRoot option. You may even unselect the "recovery" partition when doing so, and you will keep both root and CWM. Of course, this doesn't help if you've already flashed with Odin, but for those who haven't upgraded yet, I believe this is the best option.
YMMV, I'm not responsible if your device melts down and conjures a demon, etc etc etc.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This guide is for people who are ALREADY on unrooted ICS. How is your suggestion in any way helpful to those people? Unchecking recovery is only helpful if you use CWM. If you use stock recovery, you'll still have stock recovery. Also, MobileODIN doesn't always preserve root. If preserving root fails during the update, there's nothing MobileODIN can do. You'll have to re-root yourself. I've seen this happen first hand. Usually, you have to downgrade, re-root, and then use MobileODIN to upgrade again. This guide eliminates the need for that. If you upgraded and lost root, FOR WHATEVER REASON, this will get it back quickly, and easily.

Steve_max said:
Not everybody is already on unrooted ICS. I know I searched for ways to root the tablet even before I bought it; it's very conceivable that people who are thinking about upgrading to ICS will search for this. If they have root on HC, there is no need to lose it and reinstall. I just pointed this out (and MobileOdin is really one of the best Android tools out there, among with Tasker and TB).
About this corruption, I've personally never seen it happen, and I've flashed more ROMs on my S2 using it than it's healthy. Even if it happens, what do you lose by trying the easy route first (and, if needed, reflashing root through recovery)?
Sorry if I offended you in any way. All I wanted was to help.
Click to expand...

You didn't offend me. This is a simple guide for achieving root on the 4.0.4 build for the 6810. This is XDA. If someone searches for a way to update a Samsung device, they're going to find MobileODIN. If XDA were a department store, I could spit in any direction and hit a MobileODIN thread. Don't overcomplicate things. If you're on unrooted ICS, this is as easy as it gets. Furthermore, everroot is a paid option. My method is free. There's no need to go buy an app for an option that simply isn't needed in this case. If you want to write a MobileODIN update guide, go ahead and do it. This is a development thread for a very specific scenario; not a thread to compare preferred update methods. Take care.

**Edit**
Since my issue is relating to not being able to get into Recovery mode at all, i'm going to move it to a separate thread.
P.S. your instructions were very clear and made perfect sense (having previously rooted a SGS i9000), however linking to Odin in step 2) and specifying how to get into recovery in step 6) might be useful for newer users?

Mine didn't work....I used mobile Odin pro to flash ICS ...I used ever root option while flashing to ICS but for some reason root didn't work ...
I have only tried to root without CWM so it threw me signature error...I have lost my USB cable so I cudnt flash CWM by Odin using PC

[Q] Is my Tab dead?

I've been running CM 10.1 on my 7310 for a couple of months - it's slow, but it does the job.
Today it started misbehaving more than usual, so I rebooted. It's spent the afternoon rebooting itself about once every five minutes - freeze and hard reboot (Samsung splash screen). I tried different versions of CM and AOKP to figure out if it was hardware or software, no change.
I wiped it and flashed CM 9 nightlies a couple of hours ago, and got the same behaviour. After some googling I found aLogrec and turned it on. As soon as it boots and tries to start recording the logcat, it hard reboots. I figure the onboard flash storage is borked - is there anything I can do? I can't even get it to boot into Recovery, it just loops forever.
I'm hoping someone out there can give me some ideas before I go out and spend on a Nexus 7..

Have you tried to see what happens if you install official ICS with Odin?

in the old days ota's used to wipe everything and reinstall the rom, thus removing root. since gingerbread all they use is patch files, thankfully too. could you imagine a 1.5GB "ota"? it checks the hash of all the files its going to be updating, if it needs to update modem and you have a diff modem then it will fail, if you removed an apk it needs it will fail etc.
its why cwm/oudhs will detect if teh su binary has been altered with permissions and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh as they tend to be teh results of otas

Thanks boy.!

If you didn't remove the stock bloat then you'd need to throw the stock recovery back on.
Have already seen the ota fail with twrp and oudhs.
(That's if you really want the ota to work)

ForceROM has the working hotspot mod. I used it just yesterday. Plus it's debloated and pretty awesome!

Everytime I tried to flash the ota it failed at the flashing point. I'm thinking it was due to the kernal being changed in my root process. I used OUDHS recovery method. ... Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong which I might be.

as i explained earlier, the only way a ota will pass while you use custom recovery to flash it, is normally if you have custom recovery and root and thats all. alter system in any way and you risk the ota not going. replacing the kernel is guaranteed way to make them fail, almost every ota ever has included a new kernel update.

I'm assuming these methods are for MDC and not MDL correct?
