Ice Cream Sandwich ROM for Galaxy Tab 8.9

In the spirit of openness, if you would like to use our rom in your work please credit us in your OP and release notes. Our git repo should be up soon.

***Update*** Xmas Dinner Edition ***
Updated links to a 1.1 version, I added the livewallpaper.apks and re-zipped, no other changes.

and a newer version of Google Apps, seems to be more stable, but I've only been using it an hour, let us know!

Good Morning and Merry Christmas!

Is there something in your stocking for your GT7310? Well Santa Clause (in the form of Motely, nycbjr, poisike, termleech (still need a team name!)) is delivering the first public alpha!

This build has been tested on the 7310 (Gtab 8.9 wifi, no 3g), and 7300 with no 3g (3g is being looked at).

Standard YMMV tag: You are flashing this at your own risk, make a nandroid backup first! If this breaks your tab we are NOT responsible.. now go play and have fun!

Alpha V1 - ICYXMAS!
  • ICS 4.0.3_r1 vanilla
  • Rooted, deodexed,
  • Includes motley kernel v2e beta (see his thread for git details)
  • WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth

Installation:
  • In CWM recovery, clear your data/factory reset
  • Clear the dalvik cache (under advanced, or under the wipe menu in overcome cwm)

  • Give it a chance, this is a deodexed ROM and will boot slow the first time and when you use apps the first time.

Doesn't work/Limitations:
  • WiFi-only, but 3G will be looked at for a future version (no ETA at the moment)
  • Camera doesn't work, don't know when or if it can be fixed.
  • Some video limitations, youtube HD vids not working. Some stuttering will occur until we get the kinks out.
  • Charger screen doesn't look correct when you plugin without booting up (charging status)
  • Voice search doesn't work - May have something to do with this error:
