Hey Guys.
It's been a little while since I played the custom ROM game. But I just got a Vodafone Galaxy Tab.
I'm not sure how I flash it, as the options for flashing are only for US version in ClockWorkOrange (I think that's what it's called).
Any help would be great.
I'm running an optus tab and have flashed the MCK ext4 kernel and the MCR r1 both seem to be very stable. But as far as i can tell any euro kernel and rom will work fine. I have also used the CF-root by chainfire which was good for keeping things relatively stock.

I'm with optus got a guide?
hey there, I have an optus galaxy tab - data plan etc.
just wondering if we need a specific rom and I suppose most importantly where to get started ? do I need clock work from rom manager or would that be a bad step?
cheers
Don't touch ROM Manager if you value your Tab. All recovery images are currently based on ClockWorkMod, but you'll want to flash it normally.
Look in the general forum for rooting/flashing guides.
Hi,
I bought a Galaxy Tab second Hand from CEX. In general it's fine but I have an issue installing some apk's from the internal storage. Skies of Glory for example starts to install then fails with the legend 'Application not Installed' It works on my HTC desire. Same with a fair few other apps and games. I tried unmounting the SD but still no joy.
Also, the device is rooted and has a MoDaCo rom installed - does anyone know where I can get a stock European Rom so I can start over. or any suggestions as to a good custom Rom.
Thanks in advance

Overcome is popular. Am using version 1.2.1 with kernel v1. Everything is working great.
I find .apks don install when there is a conflict. Poossibly an older version of the prog or game is there. Or just this version of the app/game doesnt like the tab. I usually try to remove the conflict or just try a diff apk.

Hi everyone!
I need little help here...
I just started playing around with custom roms. I tried so far for past few days a couple of custom Roms and my Optimus 2x is now running with Skywater Froyo. I tried downloading and updating some apps at the Market but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone out there who could help me out with this problems. i could really appreciate some help here Because i', still new with the custom roms.
check the date on your phone and correct it if wrong.
Hi guys
I am trying hard to flash my phone with the latest stable Cyanogenmod (7.1)
But I am facing some issues..
Here is what has happened so far:
I have tried a couple of times now, but every time it just hangs on the blue LG startup logo..
Please explain this to me, as if I know nothing at all. (I feel this way)
So here is a list, of how I think I should do:
1: Reflash with Nvflash, so the phone actually becomes bootable
2: install Rom manager (It is not available in China) but I have an .apk So now I install File manager from market, first.
3: Root phone
4: startup
5: start Rom manager, run "flash clockwordmod recovery" select "LG/T-mobile G2X" (Is this the right one?)
6: Choose "reboot into recovery"
7: Choose Factory reset-> Wipe cache and install zip from SD (First CM7.1 then Gapps)
8: Reboot (This is where it hangs on the marvellous blue LG logo)
I think I might be doing something wrong regarding the Recovery (No. 5 or 6)
But please point out what I might be doing wrong..
Looking forward to yoyur assistance

You did it wrong by step 5 you have to choose lg optimus 2x and not lg g2x of t-mobile

Thanks tekingenc for a very fast reply.
I just do not have the option for the optimus 2X.. Is my clockword old?
I am in China and Clockworkmod has been blocked (Not commenting on that) on the market. So I am using an APK for installation, via File manager (Astro is also blocked)
Any clue as to where I might find a version that includes p990?
Which version of Rom manager do you have?
The latest is 5.0.0.6

You don't need it, it's necessary only if you want to root the stock version

7.1 is too old, maybe you should try to flash the latest Temasek build, is pretty stable.

Thanks. I just want something really stable. As you've guessed I don't know a lot about these things. I just wanted something that was a bit more responsive than the stock, provided from LG (I can't believe hos slow it is) Which made my p990 feel as fast as my HTC Legend..
Its probably better to install a ROM via the CWM console instead of using ROM manager .. Specially if you have differently mapped sdcard mount partitions.. But then ROM manager isnt that bad

CyanogenMod is nothing more than a custom rom for your phone. You can change your rom after you've rooted your phone. A rom is more or less the software what runs on your phone.
You probably got your O2X fresh out of the box with a stock (crappy) LG rom on it. Well, my advise is to change your rom because sooner or later you'll find out that the stock rom is really bad.
You don't 'have to' change to CyanogenMod, because this is obviously your choice. There are many other custom roms in the dev section like MIUI, or improved stock roms. You just have to read the threads, look at the screenshots, read the reviews and make up your own mind.
Hi everyone. i apologize in advance if this topic has already been handled, but i didn't find any thread talking about my issue.
I explain my problem:i got an lg 2x and i'm running cm10 and it's actually pretty good imho. Yesterday eve i tried to install Miui 4.2, just to see how it was like. No problems during installation itself, but when i rebooted my phone, it stucked on the animation (the M with loading bar beneath) for hours (just saying). Then i tried with Django and Hd Nova: same thing. I did a full wipe (cache+dalvik) and i still don't get where my mistake is. Might you help me out please? Thank you all!

It depends what cm10 version you are running
There are versions for old and new bootloader,if you are running on official cm10 then you are on old and you need to switch to new bootloader and then you can use new bootloader rom's,there are tutorials in general section how to do it :good:
