According to the original poster, it has something fixed in the GPS department, new Swype and is generally very fast even without the ext4 kernel fix.

yet another firmware?OMG!!!

lol wtf ... i just flashed to JM1, now JM2 i will wait some days before doing this again. maybe JM3 or 4 will follow

Who is flashed already?... any changes to JM1?

Oh, you gotta be kidding! I just flashed to JM1 and was also thinking not to flash yet... lol!

again...? I just flashed to JM1 last night too, lol...
o well, I might try it coz I noticed some keyboard lag from JM1
(on certain chinese IME)

I will flash again when I get the time, JM1 have 2 problem so far:
1. No flashplayer at all, before I have 9. something.
2. Everytime you have to add an APN you need to reboot your phone because is not saving the data.
JM1 is real fast, let see what we gat with JM2

Downloading it and will flash it after that..
I have JG1 with ext3 hack, so lets see what is faster

I haven't any problem at adding APN.
But after using the GPS in Google Map, the GPS won't start again... need to reboot the phone....

thats crazy... experiences using it anyone? think its time for.me to get away from.stock firmwares.

Let's try and keep this about JM2 and not the bugs in JM1 or else the thread will get confusing.

@casper: You had this GPS issues on JM1 or on JM2? I am confused now..

The team devoloping the fw are working real hard, poor beta testers
but this is good news. At least Samsung is trying to fix all problems and improve the phone!

Haha already, I was going to update to M1, lucky that M2 came out, I'm going to try this out and report back. Thanks!

When (if?) you guys make a backup with Titanium, does the restore consist for a big part of installing apps through appmanager also? I thought that was automated(??)

Please let this be the real gps fix.

TxTing While Talking

I have a 8525(Herm100) I"m running the TNT 2.0 Rom And for Some Reason every time I"m on the Phone with someone talking, I can not Use Any of the Letter Keys that Share #'s. Even if I use The white Dot Function key its a No GO . Is there a Fix or a settiing I've over Looked on my Phone ?
this has been covered already.. its a problem in newer roms.. only rom with this issue fixed so far to my knowledge is vp3's 3.61
Tank you . I search And DIdn't Everything I used for Keywords brought up everythread inthe Book. Thank you for the Quick Response And Short Flame lol I"ll check out that Vp3 Rom
no flame at all. but yea his rom is the only rom that is newer that has it fixed.. which sorta sucks i wish one of the barebones rom had it fixed in it but for now im stuck using vps rom

Def ! I"m Trying To get some Answers now.... Hoping MAybe it's Just the New Build he Used..... If that' sthe Case I"ll take the build he's using and just make my Own Rom. SOmeone said Is had Some To Do with the XIP file And they Can't Duplicate it. WM thing ? Which is Confusing, No Matter What build We use or Rom it's still WM So Im trying to get some Answers.... I Just can't believe MOre People haven''t Complained about this. I Mean IT's a Multi-Tasking Phone ?! ? I mean to Not be Able To Txt, Type, Email , And TAlk At the Same time Means I should have Just gotten a regular phone And called it the day you know ?
Well this is from his post on the topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1534286&postcount=71
Who knows where we go from here...
Yeah I just Read it And replied.... so If it's fixed in This Build I guess I should use his Build to Build my own Rom Just th eWay I want it. That's The Only Option I could come up with so Far. Vp3g's rom Looks And is Stable but the TnT Rom Has EVERYTHING that I use as far as apps Are concerned so I"m back against a wall here....
So am I to understand that this is Only a 8525 Problem ?

[ROM] [CDMA] CM7 Gingerbread RELEASED

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.

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.

[ROM][CWM] Newest ICS UCLD2 leak - new: Facebook/Sammy KB Patch available!

Big thanks to designgears from rootzwiki for this leak, and ks0 for bringing it to my attention (this is why i love IRC. join our channel!):
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23105-i727ucld2/
*THIS IS A STOCK BUILD...with all AT&T and Samsung software UNTOUCHED*
*IT ISNT WORKING WITH THE T989 JUST PERFECTLY YET. But it boots and is pretty functional. Seems far more stable than last leak. *
The purpose for it is to be used in development.
I took it, extracted it from the oddball ODIN oneclick package (<3 win hex) added su and busy box and that's it.
UPDATE
Flash these three fixes after flashing this ROM but before booting:
Auto rotate fix
Root fix - Ignore the error after flashing this...then just go into Superuser and update after bootup
The attached UCLD2FontHotfix.zip to fix Facebook and Samsung keyboard
Run Fix permissons after flashing the above 3 fixes ^^
Netflix works perfectly over wifi
Video recording perfect
Browser MMS and Email much improved
ROM is very smooth
Shutdown works
Didnt have anywhere to upload it so I made a torrent.
Please seed or mirror.
Thanks to s10shane for this mirror:

Would you recommend we flash a tmobile modem as a possible fix just in general?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Don't think its the modems fault actually.
I've been using a Telus modem on ICS this whole time and have been told many times that the caller echoes. Fairly sure it has to do with the audio libraries.
I'd love to try it right now but I have nobody to call
UPDATE:
Tried one caller
Call echo exists for me =(
I'm going to try blending audio libraries from the Note in the morning
Too tired for now

no problem. yeah bigger thanks to him but i would have never found the rom if it wasnt for u posting it here. its a bit slow right now but once its done i will just let it seed. idk how long that normally takes though. yeah i tried only one ics rom to see if i had the echo issues and i did so i went back to gb for now till its fixed. but still good job for fixing the auto rotate though.
Thanks
And especially thanks for seeding
Hopefully this fixes a lot of other issues.
no problem. it will be awhile before its done since its downloading at 90kb/s lol. yeah i hope it helps all the developers out. im gonna crash out since its 3:15am here in cali. i will let the download seed over night. later
4 hours left...
Sent from my awesome Hercules
thank me.. please
Rate should go up soon as my comp back in Chicago is about to start seeding this, and the download is almost complete for a friend who was kind enough to seed
im at 62% and it says about 30 mins. if im still up i can upload it to my account over at hotfile.com and share the link. its the free account so i can only upload 400mbs which is perfect for me. idk how fast the rom will download using that site but its worth a shot.
Edit: 91% getting there lol
So far this feels very smooth.
Haven't removed any bloatware yet. Going to give this a trial today and tomorrow.
MMS Email and Browser are all much improved
Video recording works perfectly out of the box. Very fast.
Netflix works perfectly over wifi
No problems with shut down

Is this ICS already?
Simtoolkit is very important for us here in the Philippines. And please fix ussd cause we have text/call promos that are easily accessible via ussd. There are a lot of bugs that we encountered on the previous P930 port like bluetooth headsets not functioning properly, the contacts bug (sim memory full, unable to copy contacts to/from sim, etc.), sensor, wifi and a lot of reboots. Hope this will all be fix on your rom. Im currently using ROM v163 by chuyennho184 and its very stable but there are errors with the ussd. Thanks and more power.

Actually,
I'm from Philippines and I am using the ROM right now.
And FYI this is not originally mine. I'm just modifying it so that it would be more useful to every one. I'm currently on a test mode to make sure everything is okay.
Kindly wait for about a week so that I could finalize my work. I'm on the middle of my exams right now that is why it takes me this long to post the ROM.
Patience is needed..
This is ICS 4.0.4 v163.
I was using the ROM of chuyennho but I am more satisfied with this ROM.
Hoping it will work with everybody.

GPS Signal Broken -- Fix Found

Hello all,
Long time lurker, just wanted to share an issue I had.
I've flashed nearly every ROM that is out there since I got my SGS3 and have never had any GPS issues, however this weekend I used it without a problem but Tuesday all of a sudden turning it on and off still produced nothing...not even the increased battery drain from having GPS on.
Here's what I did in hopes that it can help someone or at least give some knowledge as there wasn't a lot out there when I searched:
1.) Restored a previous Nandroid that I knew had a working GPS --- Result = FAIL
2.) Searched XDA and Google...found a video with some USSD codes for the dialer, etc.. ---- Result = FAIL
3.) Pulled battery and sim card, etc... --- Result = FAIL
4.) Flashed Wicked as I know that is a stable and highly used ROM. Everything great but still no GPS. ---- Result = FAIL
5.) Found a suggestion about clearing cache in google framework, Maps and uninstalling Maps updates. Result = FAIL
**however Play Store wouldn't let me update Maps when I rebooted as it said it wasn't compatible with my phone. No clue why.
6.) Finally I decided to do Triangle Away and Chainfires unrooting procedure to get back to unrooted stock. ---Result = SUCCESS!
Not sure what about it made GPS come back, however the next step will of course be to root again and see if there are any issues.
Hope this helps someone who ends up in my situation. Feel free to PM if you need more details.
Thanks to all
Edit: Just as an FYI -- when I rooted again, GPS was still back and I've had no issues since.
Thanks man, I like threads like these because you never know when you may need them. Same issue for me. On CM10 ROMs,I have trouble locking onto GPS, and the fix for me has been downloading GPS test and running that before using something like navigation.it's a minor inconvenience but it works great
Overall, if you have something borked, no matter what rom you use... no matter how many times you wipe... odin back to stock, should fix it always.

True, but honestly, that doesn't always work. I have a second SGS3 Pebble Blue 32GB, and it won't play nice with Lean Kernel/Ktoonz, unless it's the touchwiz based kernels, whereas my white 16GB runs all of them flawlessly. They were rooted and booted the same way, and they both have the same GPS issue.
Out of curiosity, what's the chainfire way of going back to stock?
Also, do we have any guides here/on youtube that detail how to odin back to stock. I'm gonna give it a go on the blue one again/cross my fingers hoping I made a mistake, hence why I want a guide lol! *Searches*
thanks for the info jpk17!
saved us a lot of time here for whoever has that issue in the future.
can you provide the link to Chainfire's unroot procedure?
thanks!
Good to know but youcould have got straight to the point rather than writting five pages of useless stuff then saying something that to be honest is not any special invention anyways.

I love this thing!
The only time my gps was ever messed up was when i used a sprint leak JB rom and had the gps turned off. Flashed a couple roms after no gps whatsoever. Odin'ed with 2 or 3 different versions and still couldnt get the gps back.
Finally I flashed another JB rom based on the sprint leak and turned GPS back on and everything started working again. Lesson learned on using sprint leaks lol.
Had op's problem myself before, and full wiping and Odin'ing back to stock actually didn't work.. what did work though was after full unroot, doing tmo ota update.
Who knows, this info could help someone out as well..

I can't post links as I don't have over 10 posts yet, but should be able to figure it out from this:

My sincere apologies that my 15 line post was too much to handle.
I'd also like to thank you for such a nice response to a first time poster that was clearly just trying to help the community for an issue that is rare and relatively undocumented based on my searches.
I shall go back to normal... lurking and wading through useless posts like yours to find those with relevance...

Hey man props for the post it'll probably help someone out, assuming they are respectful enough to search and try things before posting. Which I also want to commend you on. Most like to post frantically wanting help before bothering to search or try anything. So gj man

Confirmed working
This fixed my GPS too. Triangle away and then flash stock NON ROOTED firmware and GPS will come back...NOW hopefully this fixes my weird battery life too. About to root again and shoot right back to PA android and see if it works there. Wish me luck
Edit. Yup it works. Went straight to pa android

Ok so i finally unrooted using above steps. Still no gps. Tried GPS Toolbox, GPS Test and the google navigation. Nothing.
What Im seeing is that the little Icon in the upper status bar never shows. Like ether it doesnt even see a SAT, or the receiver in my phone isnt even turning on.
If i cant figure out, i guess ill go back to Tmo....
Thanks for the help.
What I did was go to a stock ics based Rom then triangle away and then I followed the site that op posted. The download was ridiculously slow. Took like an hour for 690mb. That should do the trick. Do it in that order

HAHA funny, i actually did it EXACTLY like that. I tried a stock ICS ROM from wildchild and nothing. Then Triangle away, ODIN flash to stock with un root and factory reset and nothing.
If i wasnt getting lock, that would be different. But im not getting the little Icon in top left corner.
I have a friend with a Stock Sprint phone and his works in same room.
Thanks
Sucks cordell... Sorry you're not getting it working.
Only thought I had if I followed you correctly is you said you went to a wildchild stock. Maybe you need to go back to the older stock from the link that worked for osmosis and I?

I went to wild child stock just before i unrooted and went to Stock Tmo form the guide above. I didnt think that would have made a difference.
Im not gonna root and go to store, so ill go to store and see what they say.
The reason i went to the wildchild stock based ICS rom was hope that I wouldnt have to unroot....
Thanks.
EDIT>>> Just did the OTA from Tmo and back .. Yes GPS back,
Thanks minigame
