If you had it working before, then you were lucky I guess. My best explanation is that with some updates Android removes things that older apps use, or make them more secure and not possible to get to from a user app; for example, you can't use an app to backup APN settings on JB. So like I said, if it actually was working on ICS and not just saying it was and doing nothing, you got lucky.

[Q] super smooth scrolling mod

Anyone try this mod yet on an 8.9? Supposedly should work with our device (it claims to work with most android devices). I would try but don't have my tab with me:
I found it here:

Hey everyone. I stumbled across a scrolling cache mod the other day and just got around to modding my phone. I'm running CM nightly 35 and it works great. This seems to have eliminated any remaining lag I was experiencing on my phone with no o/c. Here's the link:

I'm presently running the Galaxian Soup Alpha for P7300 and it's smooth as an Ice Cream Sandwich without any tricks. I can't wait for a fully-functional ICS ROM.

It definitely works in CM9, I imagine it works in most ICS ROMs.
thanks a lot !

TV out on ICSSGS rom
Well, I upgraded my I9000 from Gingerbread to ice-cream sandwich, the TV out does not work. I think it is because of the rom, some say that semaphore kernel will work but I have never tried that before, any one have tried that out?
If you go to the CM9 FAQ/WIKI website it shows TV out is not working on ICS and most likely never will..
Rooting has not much to do with it, rooted GB roms should have TV out working...
TV out works on ICS 333 i think.. Try it out..

It works on CM9 I use it a couple of times a week without problems.

I highly recommend installing ICS ROM until official ICS update

I just installed the AOKP build 35 ICS ROM and wow, everything runs so smoothly compared to the Honeycomb stock ROM. EVERYTHING. Totally worth losing all my apps and settings for 1-2 months until the official update arrives. If you use the browser a lot (and type a lot) you should really think about doing this. It's like a CPU and RAM upgrade. Like a totally new (faster) tablet.
Yes, AOKP is great, but you didn't have to lose apps and settings - you could have just used Titanium Backup, and backed up literally everything . Good thing to know if you wanna do more experimenting before official ICS.

It's tempting, but I use my tablet to have my son Skype with my in-laws, so I'm stuck waiting forever for the official ICS.

i wouldn't do that.
ics and hc are two dirrent OS versions. porting apps from one OS to another would result in quite a few FCs.
so if you ask me "losing" your apps is the correct way to go...
I don't think that's entirely true mate. If you are talking about user apps and their data, it wouldn't make any problems, as long as the apps that were on Honeycomb are compatible with ICS, and 99% of them are. Not only apps, but he could have restored their data too, such as game progress, etc, without any issues...
Think of it this way, official upgrade from Honeycomb to ICS does a similar thing, and lets you keep user apps that you had on Honeycomb. I know this is true because i did it and kept all my user apps, when i was upgrading Asus Transformer Prime, that i had for testing purposes. There were zero issues with them.
Restoring system data and settings is another thing, i wasn't suggesting it, as that would most definitely cause problems.
It's the apps and their settings (and data) that matter most for me. And for anyone I guess... So it's good to know. Thanks.

AOKP and P5 ICS roms for p7310...can I switch back and forth between these roms using cwm without wiping?
step by step
Is there a step by step guide if how I can get this ICS up and running? From where
did you download the image for the Galaxy Tab 8.9?
I don't think so.
Here's the short version:
1) install CWM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312218
2) wipe data, cache partition and dalvik cache (advanced menu)
3) install this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648561
4) enjoy your new tablet

Brilliant, thank you so much, I will try it the next couple of days. Just wondering if there is a way to store the current original Honeycomb image, so that I can restore it in case there is some warranty issue?
Many thanks!
Yes, make a backup after you install CWM. You will have to restore this and also the stock recovery software if you're going for the warranty.
I've been trying to install ICS on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE and have been unsuccessful even when changing the update-script to avoid assert errors. I'm at the point where I get a Status 0 error when trying to install aokp_p5_build-35.zip.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm a noob with Android but experienced in iPhone area. I'm using CWM 5.5.0.4 recovery.
Sorry, no. I also had a similar error (6 I think) but that was because of me editting the script in Wordpad and saving it with carriage returns. I have no idea what the errors mean or where you can find any info related to this..

The LTE 8.9er Tablet has different hardware to the 8.9er regular tablet (p7310/p7300), the custom roms from the 8.9er tablet didn't work on the LTE tablet.
The lte tablet has a quallcomm soc the regular 8.9er has a nvidia tegra 2. Look here for a ICS for your lte tablet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1575
I installed CM9 yesterday on my tab. Ihave CM9 ob my SGS+, too. Thats the reason, why i installed CM9 and not AOKP or another ROM.
What i like:
- The performance is faaar better and smoother than on Honeycomb Stockrom
- In the Image Gallery a can disable the bottom bar so the full screen is used
- Better Taskswitcher
- IMHO better Contacts-App
What i dislike
- I have to say, Samsung optimized the Apps very well for the tablets that means:
- Better music player than Apollo
- Better calendar than in Android 4
- No Polaris Office
- No Keyboardsupport for the Samsung keyboard
Ok now lets see what Samsung deiver with there own Android 4. So i can copy some apps to CM9 .
Im waiting every day to have the confirmation that ICS would be ready
and I know I would start to wait until one of our chef's cook a proper ROM
I tried the different ICS and they look the part, is fast, and there is some nice improvments everywhere, however more than the camera not working,
what is holding me in Honeycomb is touch wizz
lol
don't get me wrong, I truly hate skins, and I like very slim and lightweight roms
but the app eBook is the killer app in my tab.
Until there is a good way to port it to ICS I will hold still living in the past..
(honeycomb was launched in feb 2011 why feels that long?)
Honeycomb isn't a problem by itself. The slow hardware on the 8.9 and Touchwiz make it a problem
Short Question: I have rooted my tabled and installed CWM Recovery and a port of an Cyanogenmod 9 ROM.
What happens when the ICS ROM will be released official by Samsung. What steps will I need to get these official ROM. Can I unroot and reset my device to the normal ROM or install the new official rom by manual download and installing over CWM Recovery?
When you made a backup of the stock rom after you installed cwm and bevor you installed the CM9 rom, you only have to restore the backup an update your tablet. otherwise you have to install the stock rom via odin.
About the "Smoothness" of Honeycomb and ICS. ICS is very smooth, but not every app. Quickpic stutter, the AOSP gallery is very smooth. Google Chrome is stuttering and shows me white screen when im scrolling to fast, the ICS Browser is smooth and faster.
So i thin there is something more than tegra or honeycom the problem.
maybe it is something like the right h264 codec for video.

Do yourself two favors:
1. Upgrade to one of the stable jelly bean ROMs
2. Run Google Chrome for your browser for speed and synching between all of your devices and PCs.
You will thank yourself.

Did have an ics Rom did not like the fact it had the back home menu keys on screen at the bottom also hated they keyboard layout and Im not so keen on Google chrome
Hi,
the back/home/multitask bar is easily removable.
If you don't like the ASOP keboard, you can still use the Swype or other keyboards from the Play store.
If you don't like Google chrome, there are a few other options. The default on CM10 is not bad, Firefox, Opera, etc etc.
Porting the new browsers from the S2/S3/Note from ICS to GB will be difficult.
I hope it helps.

I started with a stock Froyo ROM. The only tool that I could get to work for Froyo was "blackjack".
This link helped me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487105
Look for "ROOT ON Froyo (2.2.x, v10x)".
Once you root your phone (superuser will be installed) , install CWM's ROM Manager. From there it's Happy Hacking.
A note (or two):
You're going to have to make a decision about what you want to do concerning stability. Froyo and GingerBread-based ROMs are "solid"; they are usable as "daily-drivers", i.e., you can use them on a daily basis without fear of significant hiccups, freezes, and crashes.
ICS (4.0.4) and greater based-ROMs (including the factory ICS) can be problematic, with freezes, lock-ups, features not working, etc. Some folks are using KitKat-based ROMs as daily-drivers; good for them. They have more patience than I do.
My recommendation for a stable ROM is either Marvel 9 or Zeus 6.4; both are GB-based. Zeus 7.06 was absolute headache for my phone.
If you want to go all-out, try Evisceration's KitKat ROM:

He's one of the few developers still working on this old phone.

When you loaded the ROM and went to install, did it take you to the superuser screen?
Try updating superuser from the Play Store. The version might be old.
