[Q] ROMs for Samsung Galaxy WI-FI - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Couldn't find anyplace that was talking about ROM's for the new WIFI only version of the 7" Galaxy Tab. Let's starting cookin' !
Couldn't a GSM or CDMA ROM be modded fairly easy to work on the WIFI? Hope so..

anyone out there? hello?

Sometimes it gets kinda quite round here. There are no wifi only roms I know of atm. Dont think it would take to much for the devs to adapt thier roms though. But they are few and far between imho. Only got 1 or 2 working on cdma. Good news is the tab is pretty sweet factory.

Popularity of the Galaxy wifi Tab???

Is the wifi Tab just not a popular enough tablet to garner interest in developing ROMS or OC kernels? See a little stuff for the 3G Tabs and not much at all for the wifi Tab.
The wifi tab is still fairly new. I hope that at least one developer will take up the custom rom development.
i would think that the wifi version and the 3g version are pretty much the same the only thing that would change would be one would have 3g and the other would not. but the roms that are designed for 3g should work for the wifi i dont see why not.
Wifi version use different (or of lower spec.) cpu, graphic chip, and Bluetooth chip; so it needs quite a different rom from the 3g version.

I really hope so too. The more I browse this section and just see almost nothing for my Tab makes me kinda wish I had gotten something else. I see so many guys with their 3G tabs clocked to 1.4ghz. Jealous!!

the wifi only version is inferior in hardware compared to the GT p1000 that's why my tablet sucks..

I hate my sprint galaxy tab...Am I the only one?

I am really starting to feel left out of the cool kids club(GSM Tab Owners). Owning the sprint galaxy tab is like buying a mustang V6. I mean sure you have a mustang, but any ordinary ricer with a decent tune could blow you out of the water. Sure you could strap on a short air ram(rooting), or even sport tune(rooted apps), but your still no V8(Roms). Yeah I like cars a little, but I am really sad about my Galaxy tab from sprint. I had very high hopes, and they were all crushed......So Devs if you find it in your hearts........bring us some Sprint tab LOVE.
Well im running hc alpha 2.5 on my Sprint tab i think thats not to bad ,of course all thanks to spacemoose!

Your problem is that GSM technology is world wide, so you have people from all over the world working on roms.
CDMA is only in the US, so you have a much more limited set of potential developers.
Do you have a link to the rom? and does the market work?

It is in the "Android Development" section of the Samsung Galaxy Tab forums. And yes, the market works. While the GSM crowd is still getting Gingerbread ROMs/ports, we CDMA users have HC now. There are some glitches as the developer is still in the early stages, but overall, it runs, it's a great move in the right direction, and it's on CDMA first. (The dev was working on CDMA and GSM simultaneously, but the development on CDMA for whatever reason wasn't as difficult. I don't know if the GSM HC works as of now, but I know the dev. was close....)
And if you hate it that much, put it on ebay, sell it, and get a GSM.
Thanks for the info,
I don't hate the device as much as sprint.....and the way they locked up all the goodness behind profit grubbing.

You're welcome, although I don't understand the part about all the goodness being locked up. You just have to root your tab, just like all other Android devices. Once rooted, the device, and experience, are what you make it
I have someone that wants to trade me their sprint gtab 3g (I use sprint) for my wifi 16g ipad. I have a nook color rooted running cm7 overclocked at 1300 and an evo 4g running cm7. Do you guys think that's a fair trade? I'm not a big apple fan but my wife gave me the ipad for my birthday and use it for Netflix only. I need to pull the trigger quick before this Guy changes his mind. I just want to make sure I'm not making a dopey trade.... thanks guys!

I have a question. I rooted my tab when I first got it, how did you install alpha 2.5, I have sprint and when I try it with rom mananger ,sprint is not in the recovery just att, verizon and tmobile. I tried to flash the verizon recovery, and it was a no go. It reboots into the samaung recovery. If you have a sprint tab how did you do it?
I have nothing but mad love for my Sprint Tab. Bear in mind I'm not doing nearly as much with it as you're wanting to do though. I don't have it activated with Sprint and I'm not flashing ROMs or anything on it.
If you want to make some changes to your Sprint tab, check out the informational thread I created.

I found a new love for my tab, I flashed it to 2.5 HC and it is neat again. It's buggy, but fun to toy with again........Yay Tab.
I've played with the HC 2.5 port, and it's just too slow for me. Stock, rooted with CWM (converted to ext4) seems to be the best thing out there for my uses thus far. Hoping we'll get a official gingerbread soon, or at least a functional CM7 port.. otherwise i love my tab! Sure there's not tons of roms to play with like the GSM tabs, but I'm happy with what i paid for it and my uses..

GTab 8.9 4G LTE

First my apologies for posting in DEV but my question was ignored in the Q&A section and I really need to know the answer. I plan to pickup a 8.9 4G LTE today after work at the AT&T store and need to know if this current crop of custom roms is usable on this particular 8.9 model tablet? I was looking at it at the store and it said it was i99x or something and I don't see any of those numbers mentioned here in the forum for this device. Thanks in advance for your patience with the post here and for any info provided. Very cool device and much different than my Samsung InFuse phone running GB.

All I’ve seen is WiFi roms, no roms for 3G/LTE roms for GSM. It’s a SGH-I957 model. I’m still playing with the idea of getting one, since you get the Galaxy Skyrocket free too with a purchase. No root either yet for this thing …
I picked up a SR on launch day. 2 days ago I piked up this tab. They credited me the price of the SR towards the tab! sweet deal!.
That is why I decided to get the 8.9 Tab. I wanted a Skyrocket but I just got an Infuse a couple months back so I couldn't upgrade for the Skyrocket. So I figured I would get the Tab and Skyrocket and replace my Infuse with the SR. I have a client who is footing the bill and we are going to use one of the inactive corporate phones to do the swap with my phone or else it couldn't be done. I guess I will just get it anyway and wait till some development comes down the pike. It is a sweet form factor and I think I will enjoy it.
Infused with Android DNA
I would really love to be able to get root on my new 8.9 4g LTE Tablet. Is there any devs out there willing to take a look at it for me or am I left out in the cold?
This thing is ridiculously slow and laggy i sure hope someone develops for it or i am going to ditch it quick. My Skyrocket is so much more speedy than this tablet. I like it but it needs help bad.

Not sure what lag you are talking about

I have experienced serious lagging scrolling screens changing apps etc. I also have had it completely lock up on me several times and had to hold the power button until it rebooted this thing is really a disappointment so far. Hopefully there will be some updates coming down the road soon.

I'm having the same issues. I just picked this up yesterday with the skyrocket deal. Coming from using a Motorola Xoom which has very little bloatware, I'm terribly disappointed with this tablet. I love the form factor, but it's slow as molasses. Hopefully someone with knowledge will take the time to find a solution and share it with those of us who have no idea what to do
Does it have lag/stuttering when scrolling homescreens in portrait?
It pretty much lags doing anything from opening apps to Widgets or sliding through the screens. I've also has it completely freeze several times and I've only had it over the weekend. The LTE version from AT&T has tons of bloatware.

[Q] Will the p1000 roms work on SPH-P100?

Im planning on getting the SPH-P100 which is the Sprint Galaxy tab but Im wondering if the p1000 roms will work on this one like they do for the gsm tab. Im planning on using the tab as wifi only so I don't really care if the 4g won't work as a result but I care about everything else.
Thanks in advance
Curious too. I don't think so but wondering. I'll probably just leave stock gingerbread on it but I would like a tablet OS like Honeycomb or ICS.
LTE EX Galaxy Nexus - 4.0.3 AOSP
Asus Transformer - Revolver OC/UV
I think I saw somewhere (Humberos website, maybe?) that you can swap out a few files from the compressed ROM folder that would allow it to work on a P100.

[Q] Cyanogenmod for i957

Ok, so I recently switched from the Pantech Element to the Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE in hopes of finding a better community, and I did, but just barely. It seems like the LTE is the redheaded stepchild for this tablet....
Anyhow, been doing a lot of research over the past couple of days but I haven't found anything I'd be willing to stake my tablet on as fact that Cyanogenmod is out and stable for the LTE. There just isn't much discussion here for this model.
So, on checking the Cyanogenmod website however it does appear they have a release for the Galaxy 8.9... however, it does not say SGH-I957, it says GSM. Not willing to brick my tab on even the slightest chance GSM isn't referring to the SGH-I957.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/P5_Info
There's the link to what I was looking at. Fairly sure this isn't for the I957, but just wanted to be sure.
And if this ISN"T a stable ROM for the I957, are there any roms out there that are? Once again, I've been looking and finding bits and pieces but nothing I would call concrete.
Thanks!
You're correct is not for the i957. Try nrvates cm10 in the development section.
There's very little for the i957. Look for i957 or att. Anything that says P5, P5wifi is not for the i957. You're smart to check this:thumbup:

I really don't get it though. Someone should be able to port the p5 version easily. Im even willing to give up LTE for awhile to have stable CM9 or CM10/10.1. Ive seen P5, P5wifi and then something else called p53g.

CM10 is in the works. Still beta but an active project.
