New with Tab

Hi, I am new with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7'' 3G+Wifi, with 2.3.3. What do you recommend to me: keep this one, Overcome, or Honeycomb alpha. Please, anyone knows what is the different between CDMA and GSM ROMs? Thanks!

welcome to the hood brother in tab ..
your 1st welcome will be . pls post any thread endup with "?" "Q" in the Q|A section and do not post anything in the DEV section only if you plan to create ROM , Kernel

Welcome aboard.
Also state what carrier you have.
GSM is ATT TMOUS
Sprint, Veriz , Boost are CDMA
I love the Overcome rom, works well for what I want.

Thanks for the answers. My carrier is Orange, from Spain, but I don't know if it helps. I would like to flash Overcome but I don't know how begin. I have experience with Nexus One and Hero, but this seems very different.

Overcome is pretty stable compared to honeycomb. Try it first!

GSM phones use sim cards, CDMA need to be activated on the network and can't be transferred to another carrier easily if at all.
Don't know much about the CDMA as Australia got rid of CDMA a few years ago now...
GSM tabs have a larger choice of roms and kernals to try while the CDMA brothers and sister seem fairly restricted in what they can flash. They, however seem to be ahead when it comes to flashing Honeycomb...
ATM Honeycomb is an Alpha buiild, VERY buggy and not really usable if you need your tab in real life, Gingerbread on the other hand has been fairly stable for a while now. Up to you what you want to put on but before you do, READ the instructions on using ODIN or Heimdall, there are guides here.
Check if you're bootloaders are locked here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071 Before flashing
and make sure you take it slow, step by step and DON'T skip ahead when flashing.
Happy hunting for that perfect rom ( please don't ask what people think as Its really a personal choice and the threads have more than enough info for you to make a choice).
Cheers...

Hello you didnt tell how to flash the rom
And please can u tell me that y in SGT we use odin to flash the rom y cant we flash directly from recovery like we do in other andtoid phones. Using odin is too complex for me.

@dhruv2coool
you surely can install rom from CWM Recovery just head to overcome thread in dev section or any gsm rom thread in dev section and read in.
if you already have CWM then its easy.
happy flashing

Overcome is down for now. Here's a mirror = guide... In the event of preferring zips to install ; take a look at AF974's recent ROM.
As for theming, use the Kitchen and build a theme to measure.

The step-by-step install is in the mirror-guide I posted earlier....

thanx man, will try it for sure, but will I loose my touchwiz? and man thanx a lot, if u need any gamea or apps for ur tab I can send u some links for ur help. . . just private message me. . . btw thanx. . . .

You can do this for GB stock'ish or just go with full_overcome4.0 rom which is an all in one rom+kernel
Go here and download gbsafe_v5. Zip. It has everything you need including drivers and odin files
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317384
Also download overcome-kernel_4. 0.tar file as well.
Once you downloaded these two files plug in your tab to usb and wait for that phone and pc screen or download mode screen.
Go here and follow steps up to 10.
magrathearoms.weebly.com/install.html
Your phone is now stock'ish GB with OC'ed kernel including custom clockwork recovery. This version also comes with phone capabilities unlocked so you can use it like a real phone. All you have to do is load tmobile. Modem file. If not then use as wifi only.

Hi,
Loosing the TouchWiz depends on the ROM you choose to flash, most (if not all) custom Rom's don't include it and stay as close as possible to stock/AOSP...
Cheers

not sure if anybody know what could've caused my P1000 to
reboot whenever i turn off Flight Mode with sim card inserted.
i'm a proud OverCome user since OverCome 3.1.
wiped off my tab after system slowed down cos i wrongly forced
move app to SD.
i install it 100% using the guide with wipe option,
my tab got rebooted whenever phone calls coming in or after phone calls.
flashed with stock rom from samfirmware, tried DXJPC, JPJPC.. all same results.
pit file is gt-p1000_mr.pit
not sure what problem..
i'm using P1000, Malaysia (GSM)
thank you in advanced for any advices

Not a hundred percent sure but I think the device needs the reboot to register the sim.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

thanx Derrian,
i've got it reboot for a few times with sim card inserted.
not sure if i got the PIT file or data correct?

The deal about modems is the differences in supported bands. You seem to be originally on modem DDJPA (baseband) If you flashed the OC 4 you should still be on it as OC doesn't include modems. Your best guess is to take a look at the modem thread and pick JPZ or JQ2, as I did
BTW, OC 4.1 is out with a more up to date kernel based on GB 2.3.6...

Hi,
You might want to check the Overcome 4.1.0 thread... they have several packages of 'removed' apps, you may get lucky there.

1) yes
2) http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/ for rooting, check the roms for XT860 in the dev section. (i'm not very familiar with XT860)
3) I'm not sure for XT860
4) Yes there are ICS roms which are stable and working, but some features don't work like video recording, hdmi, and some bluetooth issues(?)

thank you sir appreciated. i hope somebody will answer question 2 and 3 hopefully

I believe that most XT860 ICS ROMs have a flashable patch which includes a fixed build.prop and libmoto_ril.so to get data functioning.

how to unlock this phone ? what is the way ?

Do you have an XT860, or Droid 3 (XT862), or both?
If it's the XT862, and I'm assuming you've used the SIM card from your carrier, not a US one, then you should check the Network Mode. Do this by going to Menu -> Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks -> Network Mode, and make sure it's not set to CDMA.
If it's the XT860, that shouldn't even be an option.

I'm not sure whether they lock out the other carriers in Canada like Verizon does with AT&T/T-Mobile, but if that is the case, you'd probably need a SIM from somewhere else.
Here's what people have to do to get the D3 to work with AT&T and T-Mobile, though I don't know if something similar would work on the XT860.
Good luck.

man im screwed. i bricked razr xt910 so i bought this phone and now i cant even use this either. sigh
i have another concern,
i typed on my droid *#06# and it doesnt show up an imei number
in the back there is a sticker with the imei number but when i input the code or try to look through about phone section of the droid there is no imei number stated
what is that supposed to mean?
