So I got a Galaxy Tab 7 wifi yesterday and am now reading all about how it's different and such from the 3G versions, so I got a few questions...
Has the wifi version been updated to 2.3? i couldn't find any way short of rooting...
which brings me to my next question, how can I root it and what ROM's are usable on it? I've been reading conflicting posts around the net about how to root it and have seen a lot of ROM's say not for the wifi version.
Are there any ROM's (assuming my above question was answered) that allow for bluetooth HID? Couldn't believe they locked this out...
Last question is...is there a way to use the Samsung stuff (like the media hub, social hub, and samsung apps store) with a different ROM?
thanks! there's so much conflicting info between the versions it's confusing!
From what I have found, you can root it with oneclicksuperroot but there aren't really any roms for it.

You can root it with z4root too, easy and quick.

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 guys, just this week I got a new Galaxy Tab from T-Mobile, so far so good, but I have a few questions about it.
1-) This is my first time using Android, is there a better version or ROM for this particular tab (or another that is fully compatible) which I should flash into it which is better or gives me more functionality than the default Android installation that T-Mobile puts on it?
2-) How are upgrades of Android OS obtained? I heard 3.0 is out, any ideas if Samsung or T-Mobile will make it available on these devices?
3-) Can "Line2" be used with it? I noticed when I'm connected to Wi-Fi at home Line2 works, but when I'm connected to 3G it wont work.
4-) Is it easy to install Themes on the Galaxy Tab, any tutorials?
5-) Any specific tricks/tweaks or apps, that are a must have for Galaxy Tab owners?
Thanks in advance!

I also just got my SGT T-mobile. What is the model number of your tablet? What is the Baseband version of your tablet? Have you rooted yours?
Mine's model is SGH-T849, Baseband T849UVJJB, and yes, I downloaded a program from this board which supposedly roots it, after installing and running the commands it said it had successfully rooted my device, now how do I know if it is really rooted?
Also what's the Baseband? lol sorry but I'm lost, this is my first ever tablet and also first ever Android OS device.

We both have the same model and baseband. I'm not sure what baseband is. You can check to see if your tablet is rooted by going to Applications and look around to see if you can find a Superuser icon.
If it's rooted, I guess your next step is to find a custom ROM and flash it.
Do you remember what you used to root your tablet? Was it SuperOneClick?
Yes, it was the SuperOneClick one from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367
Baseband is the modem you have. The modem controls the phone, wirelass data, wifi, and bluetooth. Yours is JJB.

Well, I'm not an expert but here is my experience:
1. You should flash the new Overcome experience Hermes:
http://overcome.mimzo.com/
There is also the unofficial cyanogenmod beta, but as you said the overcome is fully compatible and it will not change the feel of the Tab, just adds to the functionality.
2. The updates are two types:
# Official, these are over the air and you will find notifications in the notification area to tell you that there is a new update, or may be through kies for Samsung.
# Unofficial, which is basically flashing other ROMs whether official or custom.
# As for Android 3.0 (which is called honeycomb), it is not officially coming to the Tab. May be after the 3.2 announced a couple of days ago, but I still don't think so. Still, you might want to follow this thread as there are trials to get it fully working on the Tab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122959
3. I don't have any idea about this, as I got mine used and then I rooted and flashed it the day I got it.
4. Of course there are themes for the Android. This Overcome I was telling you about has a Gold theme. There are a lot of ways to get themes on the Tab. I myself use different home launchers with different themes. You don't need to flash anything if you are just looking to change the looks of your device. Check this out and let me know if you like it:
Go Launcher EX https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex&feature=search_result
There are a lot other but this is my favorite. You can even change the fonts of the display.
5. The most common used tips and tweaks that you should use is over-clocking/ under-volting which gives you more speed and less battery drainage.
As for the apps, these are my favorites:
Tango, Photfunia, ezPDF reader, Movies (or IMDB), Springpad (or Catch), File Expert, Go Launcher, Go weather, Google Goggles, Google Shopper, Just reader, Splashtop, Plex, GrooveIP. I guess there are more on my device but these are the ones that I found more functional and fun to use.
Hope this helps...
Thanks rangercaptain,
Hey ahmadshawki, thanks so much, I will check out all of your suggestions, does overcome comes with Gingerbread?
Yes it does.

Any 2.2 rom is froyo (frozen yogurt).
Any 2.3 rom is gingerbread.
You can have either "flavor". They are both in the development section. Both are highly recommended.
Hi guys,
I've been visiting this forum for more than 6 months now, but I think this is my first post. I have a T-Mobile SGH-T849 GT-P1000.
Last year I unlocked it and changed it to a Gingerbread Euro. Below is the current setup:
Firmware version 2.3.3
Baseband version P1000XXJPZ
Kernel version 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build number GINGERBREAD.XXJQ1
Tab has been working fine, with the exception of:
- often does not remember wi-fi hotspots automatically, need to switch off/on wi-fi to do this
- 3G & phone works erratically. I don't use it as a phone, but those times that I tried I noticed the phone would loose connectivity to the mobile network and needed a reboot in order to fix it.
I'd like to upgrade it to Ginger 2.3.6, but which rom should I use? I checked on the forum, but I'm not sure if I should use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380595&page=3
or any other.
Is my modem correct or should I use this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902323&page=4
to install JL5 modem?
Sorry for the noob questions.
I have a galaxy tab 7+ sgh-t869 I need to chance my build prop in order to play order and chaos online it doesn't support operating system I have no idea how to chance it or what to change it to please help thanks
I did a search and was unable to find information on flashing stock Gingerbread 2.3.4 for the Verizon Galaxy Tab 7 (SCH-I800). Is this possible, and with root?
I would love to get a more stable build onto this machine. It crashes alot. also something more responsive would be great too Now that its out for the Sprint Vs. Does that mean its possible to get it on ours?
There hasn't been an official release of Gingerbread for the Samsung Galaxy Tab SCI-I800 (Verizon model). I'm getting very, very impatient and annoyed by it too, especially not that the Sprint model (VERY similar to ours) has already gotten that upgrade and we're still waiting without any details about when to expect it to come to us. VERY annoyed.
Flash the Sprint version that's rooted on here.
Hell, how can one root first?
I have tried NUMEROUS methods at rooting my Galaxy Tab, just to try and get the bloatware off of my device in hopes at making it work smoother, but that didn't work. Anyone, ANYONE, know a fool proof method at rooting the VZW Galaxy Tab 7? z4root, gingerbreak, etc, all didn't work. Ended up having to reset my device just to correct most major issues that the failed root attempts created.

Just rerooted mine (my original z4root stopped working after the last update) and after combing through who knows how many posts and methods, I got it to work with version 1.7 of superoneclick. For some reason 1.9 would get stuck in the middle, but 1.7 had no problem. Good luck.
Can we really just flash the Sprint version? That won't break anything?
Thanks!
It will not connect to 3G but it works fine on wifi. I have been running it for 3 weeks.
Awesome... I don't use 3G anyhow. Thanks a bunch!
I got my tab finally rooted. Now need to have fun!

There's also a leaked VZW stock rooted 2.3.4 in the dev section...
That stock vzw rom... Is it stable?
Sent from my rooted SCH-I800 Galaxy Tab
Why would a stock rom not be stable? Besides the thread is several pages long with folks posting their experiences, me included.
It is very stable, with all the bloat and everything. Suggest BTL Confidence & Paranoia v01 if you dont want any of the bloat. Stable with some minor bugs.
yes the BTL confidence and paranoia is a great rom, I have the sch-i800 verizon model too.
looks like i missed the boat on that one.

Use SuperOneClick.
Make sure you have USB debugging on.
Super no click for GB
Unfortunatly I have tried super 1 click 2.3.3 (with debug on and sd card out) and it dosen't work on the I800 2.3.5
I am going to try cubed 3.
all this just so i can use a six axis controller....

HOW!!!!!!?????????
my coworker just got a gtab wifi only, ive rooted a bunch of phones before but not this device yet. which roms will i be able to flash on this device?
thanks in advance.
It would seem at the moment no big devs are putting any custom roms out for the wifi only tab (GT P 1010).
There is one rom available but to my understanding its only a stock rom with some bloatware removed and extra language support. (Thread in tab development)
I myself have had the GT P 1010 for almost a month now, rooted with Z4, one click lag fixed but still running stock nastiness. I have posted up here about the possibility of getting a CWM running on our tabs, first priority for me personally, but no one seems to have any answers?
Oh and if my sig still says that its bricked, one word, ODIN. Bloody life saver.

I think he's referring to the Sprint Stock Gingerbread update/rom which i've heard does in fact work on the wifi only tab. There is a rooted version of it available as well. Check the Development thread and you'll find it.
Really!!!!! A gingerbread rom that will work on the wifi only tab?
I was under the impression that no roms designed for the GSM tab would work on the wifi tabs? Different hardware and supposedly a different processor?
Not that I'm doubting you but where did you get your source that it will work on the wifi only tab?
TIA.

Be very careful. I hard-bricked mine when trying to flash gingerbread on 1010. DONT DO IT, if its not stated it works with 1010
I recently purchased a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy Tab and I flashed to Euro version to enable phone fuction. I love my Tab and it's so awsome far beyond the ipad that I used to own. Additionally, my tab current version is froyo 2.2 and im wonderding that is it possible to update it to Gingerbread os and how????
MILLions Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hop over to the development sub-section of the Galaxy Tablet forums. There are quite a few options for GB firmware, especially on a GSM Tablet.
Best idea is to check out the overcome thread, they have instructions and all else needed to flash gb.
