[ROM][CWM]KhasMek Stock Deodexed plus! For Tab 10.1

As normal, it's not my fault if you fubar your tab by flashing this or if zombies come and speedhump your cat. You've been warned.
Well, hello there, some of you may know me from my vzwtab (7") work, but I'm sure most of you don't.
No matter, I just finished deodexing my framework and app folders, so I decided to share with you.
This isn't anything special, just you're stock system that's been deodexed, I did not remove any programs, there are really only three or so 'bloatware' apps on here, so I didn't bother.
If you would like to, just use root file explorer (or your preferred method) to remove them.
In addition to the stock items I have added pershoot's SU/Busybox/misc package (SOURCE) All credit goes to him for that.
If there's anything else, just let me know. I have tested this on my own rooted tab and everything seems to work fine and be stable.
If you notice any issues, please format/clear both Dalvik & normal Cache. It's probably the cause.
Features
Deodexed flashable system
Pershoot's SU/Busybox/misc pacakage (nano, VIM, all kinds of other goodies)
Changelog
06212011- r1 - Initial Release
Known Issues
You may have to go through and manually delete your odex's in /system/app/ and /system/framework/ but the apk's and jar's no longer call them. (I can't get the amend format command working right. if you want to tell me how, please!)
Installation
Reboot into CWM either via ROM Manager or via power off, volume down + power, volume down to CWM icon and volume up to select.
Select Install Zip from SD Card
Navigate to location of zip and select okay
Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache (in advanced)
Reboot
Make themes for me

awesome finally someone to break ground for the Samsung Galaxy tab! Thanks will try it out!

Not sure if it matters but is this for retail or I/o version? Does it matter since it is basically the same tab?
For any ideas: maybe you could include a way for hulu to work without any work arounds? And maybe some lag fixes. Although that may be solved with a custom kernel.

Decided to test this on the retail version.
The only problem is that root is broken because there are two su binaries installed.
/system/bin/su - installed from file Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip when you rooted the device.
/system/xbin/su - installed when you added [Tools] – SU/BusyBox/Misc – Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Update: 6/18/11).
To fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14016703&postcount=18
------
the /system/bin/su binary need to be removed.
Su does not work on the tablet with two su binaries installed.
Use adb to remove /system/bin/su
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/bin
rm su
reboot
I tried running titanium backup prior to a reboot after removing /system/bin/su and it would not work. I uninstalled/reinstalled and it worked, but a reboot may have fixed the problem.
I manually deleted all the odex files - no problems so far. I will provide an update later if I have problems.
------------
You can remove /system/bin/su when you update the image again.
JD

Yeah, I just noticed that myself actually. Don't know why I didn't catch it before.
Anywho, I think I'll prolly push an update to this tomorrow after I write a script to remove the odex's. It was my initial thought, but I thought it would be easier to used the updater-script to do it, but looks like just writing an additional one will be best.
Glad the su thing didn't confuse you too much!

Sweet thanks for this. Going to give it a whirl!

I flashed the Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip after flashing the Rom. Everying is working fine.
I didn't need to remove su from anywhere.
Thanks!

You will only have problems when you try to run an app that requires root (Root Explorer, Titanium backup....).

If you have both su binaries - and all works - good to hear. I will flash again, but will reboot a second time to see if it matters. Those apps did not run until I remove the su from bin.
Strange how two devices with the same specs operate different on certain software.
JD

shouldn't that have been:
cd /system/bin ?
i didn't try mine w both since i didn't want hassle of find out if it worked or not. no reason for 2 su's.

Its because one su has the correct permissions and the other doesn't.

before copying app, rename the extension of the original app into something that system can't read.
after that, u can copy it.

You need to be rooted, at least to be able to use AntTek and Root Uninstaller, and no, you won't loose it in case of FW update, unless the upgrade is for the camera too... but the process is fast. 5 minutes and its done

Thanks Dude, but did download the ICS Camera, to take pictures without shutter sound.
Ruedas, a rooted phone doesnt receive OTA updates, right?

strange thing that i downloaded the apk, tried to install it but wouldnt work even after changing permissions. Had no camera forawhile. Downloaded the stock apk, just copy and pasted it in the folder and all of a sudden i have my camera back with no shutter sound...no idea why but thanks

I'm trying my best to fix (IOW; mute) the shutter sound on my GF's O4X. While I believe I understand how this is done, I'm not able to actually get it done.
I've managed to get the phone rooted (thanks to alexp999's simple to follow guide). If I've understood things correctly; I now need to replace the original camera.apk with the modified one found in this thread.
Problem is that, in the /system/app folder, both renaming files (the old camera.apk) and copying files (the new camera.apk) to the folder fails.
Anyone able to see what I'm missing / doing wrong? Any help would be thoroughly appreciated!..

Thanks for the reply and suggestion RuedasLocas!
Titanium Backup seems to have the option to uninstall system apps, I'll give that a go. Would however like to figure out how to copy files to the system/app folder before I do that (given that this is required to re-install/enable the camera). Have tried with both ES File Manager and Total Commander; both have been given SU-privelages, both are able to browse to the folder, neither is able to copy files to or rename files in the folder...

Tried AnTek Explorer; What an interesting file manager! Will have to test this for a longer period of time, could possibly become my new goto file manager. Thanks for the tip!..
Though I couldn't get the new/modified camera.apk to the system/app directory. Though this time it failed with an error messge; "Error Don't have enough permission to do this action" (see attached screenshot). Have double-checked that "Native mode" is enabled within AnTek and that its (permanently) enabled in SuperSU. Not sure how I can give an app even more permissions...

Thanks for all the help! Rebooting allowed me to rename files. Then I finally figured out why copying files to the system folder failed (or at least partly); For reasons unknown to me, I weren't allowed to copy/move files directly from the external_sd card to the system/app directory, Had to first move the to an internal location, then I could move then to the desired location!
End result; The annoying shutter sound is gone! :victory:
Again; Thanks for all the help!

[Q] 3 questions

what is a ROM?
what is a .img?
what is the SU app you get when you root? What can you do with it?
Thanks!

A ROM is your operating system, usually customized and packaged in a way that can be installed in recovery easily.
An .img is a disk image. Basically, an entire file system represented by a single file.
The SU binary is what apps call to in order to gain root access. Respectively, the Superuser.apk simply maintains a database of what apps are allowed access to the SU binary.

why don't they just call it an OS then like most others do?
what do you mean by represented? do you mean the files of a disk are all in one bigger file called a disk image?
so basically it asks the SU to do things that you can only do after root like modify crucial files?
thanks for the help. also could you take a screenshot of the superuser apk for me? just hit volume down and power button simultaneously.

In a Linux system, if you want to make changes to protected files, you need "root" access. You acquire this by entering "su" at the command prompt. Apps that need root access have to do basically the same thing. They first acquire root permissions by accessing the su binary, and then they are free to do as needed.

No. A ROM is still Android. It's just an easy way to install it, and customized versions of it. Download a ROM and extract it. Take a look at the contents and you'll see that it is nothing more than the system folder, along with an updater script, and signature files (if you want any more information on this, Google it). A ROM, in the sense of modifying, is just a package that can be used to install the OS (custom or otherwise) quickly and easily.

You used file explorer to check out your /system/media folder right? which one? But if you delete something there it not supposed to be there if you have correct rw permission there. I first think that it could be problem with bootanimation you try to install but if you can't delete something there for good I guess first look at your permission to write that folder.

Root again. Use "Easy Root Tool". If it stuck cleaning part just run it again and you should be good.

I was trying to change Xperia S bootanimation last year. Ending up to find that problem is much deeper then basic root and root explorer.
Didn't find the way how to apply custom one.
As I remember is somehow connected with bootloader or kernel

Don't know about Xperia S but with Z1 I can change bootanimation. I use X-plore by Lonely Cat Games with r/w rights and have zero problems.

I would suggest you do not have root.
Check if you have killed the ric.
Goto sys/kernel/security/Sony_ric and see if the file called enable says 0 or 1. Also check it just after a reboot.
If it's a 1 you will lose write permissions to the system partition after a reboot, which explains the symptoms you are talking about.
Changing the boot animation had nothing to do with kernel or bootloader, you just have to change the bootamimation.zip in system /media
