[Q] Hello All! Can I have a minute please...

Hello and Good Day to you all...I just got a Galaxy Tab GT-P1000T and instantly became a great fan of Android. I even wrote and article about its very basics. However, I'm absolutely new to Android and would like to know more about it.
At present I'm looking for a simple solution to:
Rooting my Galaxy Tab and installing something better than Froyo (like Gingerbread)
I know this is a Guru's Forum - newbies like me will have some initial stumbling here. I'm somewhat lost in the crowd of threads here. Would somebody tell me the simplest procedure of doing the thing I want to with my GT-P1000T
Thanks and Regards
M.Y.

Just go to the overcome thread and download the guide.

Before you ask any more questions I highly recommend spending some time reading threads as all the questions you could possibly ask have already been asked and answered, like this one has a million times.
PS. This topic is a question and thus should have been created in the dedicated questions forum.

Thanks
Thanks to you The ATHEisT
Yes I should have surfed around and read related posts - but the problem of forum (great ones like this one) is there are so many threads that you get tired soon looking around and not finding what you're looking for exactly.
Anyways, thanks for the link - I already downloaded the pdf guides, and I hope I shall not damage my new Galaxy Tab

Hello,
If you follow the instructions to the letter, you should not damage your tab.
FYI, that the current overcome 2.0 gold still has a few bugs, so if you like things to just work, you might need to wait for a while.
The older overcome 1.6.4 is still using froyo but it is much more polished and not so buggy. but you will be missing gingerbread.
If you have battery problems, just search the general forum for this thread: fake status of battery.

The easiest, without rooting, is the Italian gingerbread flash via Odin, Takes about 5 minutes and there is even a video on youtube going through the whole thing. You can pause it and do exactly as he is doing (he is a member here)

Thanks conchchowder

[Question]Which rom for me? Need suggestion

Hi all bros,
I am a new in town with this device.
Please give me your suggestion about which rom that optimized for battery. My 970 only lasts around 16hrs. I am also a normal user that doesn't tweat or OC orsomething like that, thanks

Zeus rom seems to be the wise choice for you.

if you dont want your hands dirty, flash the official version. it should give you more than a day for normal usage.

I Think if you just want your battery life longer than you should read this thread:

First off, welcome to XDA. It is best to go through the Development section and read up on the various ROMs offered, then make your own decision. Don't flash anything until you understand what you're doing.
These kind of 'best ROM threads are always closed, as they can lead to competition and arguments.

Few queries regarding the Note!

Hi all,
I have had my Note for few weeks and like it, but have a few queries.
1 - The battery for me dies really quickly when doing anything, I can fully charge it then talk on Facebook for an hour and it's down to 50% just from that, or play a game and in a hour it loses 60%, is this normal? I have everything turned off and brightness down at 50% (I kinda refuse to have it less than that as one of the reasons I got the phone is because if the display) and even at 50% it isn't as good as I know it can be, but the battery just dies so quickly!
The following queries are regarding ICS which I updated too yesterday.
2 - Since upgrading to ICS, everytime I get a text and read it the message icon number doesn't leave from the messaging tab, like as if I haven't read the text, this didn't happen before the upgrade and wondered if anyone else is having this issue and what I can do? I can get rid of it via deleting convo or restarting the phone but I shouldn't have to do those things.
3 - I have noticed more lag since upgrading, like half a second when changing pages and stuff, not a massive deal but again it wasn't like that before, is it because ICS is more ram hungry and that's just way it is? I have noticed a lot more ram being used since upgrading, and when I goto task manager and close apps it will say for example '12 applications closed' and then I go straight back into it without opening anything else and it will say '15 apps closed'...Again, this never happened with Gingerbread.
Anyway, any advice appreciated.
Thanks

Hmm, just read the sticky, should this topic be in the questions and answers forum? Sorry if so and if someone could move it I would appreciate it, thanks.

I'm afraid to say I am not good with phones and the techs of them.
I updated it via the official software update on the phone, it popped up and asked me to update and I did.

Don't worry about it... We aren't dealing with rocket science.. Here in xda we have lot of experienced advisors who have created "how to" threads in development section. Just find the stickies in that forum you can find Dr. Ketan's guide about flashing roms thru PC Odin. It's zero risk. Anyone can do that. That would definitely solve your problems.
Here is the thread..

Thanks, will take a look and see if it helps.

Sorry I am bit thick but didn't really understand a lot of it haha.
Found out today as well that since upgrading to ICS I can no longer send or receive mms and my GPS has stopped working! Great. Got an ace phone and now can't do the most basic of things, and apps keep crashing since updating too.
I noticed a lot of people have similar probs to me from reading about, the phone updated to version 4.0.3 while a lot of people who don't seem to be having the probs have 4.0.4 but the Note won't update to that.
Really annoyed, and the battery is just ten times worse on ICS for me, I went to be with it at 100% and woke up and it was at 70% with everything turned off!!!
As I said I am not phone savvy but with all these probs I am not happy and might take it to a shop to see if they will downgrade back to GB which I was very happy with as not sure what to do...Can't send or recieve mms's, gps not working, laggy, very poor battery drainage, when I get a text and read it the number icon doesn't leave the messaging icon plus more.
Not happy, feels like I have a basic phone that I am paying top price for!!

Best battery life in ICS

Hi,
Just wondering which ICS rom you guys have got the best battery life out of?
I've tried AOKP Milestone 6 & CM9 20120727 both.
Must say the AOKP had better battery. Could easily cross 24+ hours

Rather than get upset, why don't you point him in the right direction Chris. Just give him the link to the post you think is relevant. Your a senior member what seems easy for you might be difficult for another. Pls just take it easy on the newbies and guide them right.
Nb: I know its annoying, I get upset too at the ridiculous post at times but I just try to keep my cool, we all should.

I owe an apology that I have been to rough in my comments here and agree with wesleyel. It IS more important to guide rather than growl.
I might have forgotten my own postings and I might have more experience from several forums, so I should know better. Also, to our most welcome new members: Read, then read more. Search and use the varst source of information before you post. Many times the answer is right infront of you, or asked/posted earlier in the same thread. If you do look else where you will also benefit from picking up more that you can share, even solve some problems too.
I keep going on with this a bit because it makes it easier for all of us to get proper info faster without having to read about topics spilled all over the place.
Also, reflect a second over what you are asking about/for. Is there a possibility in getting a scientific and correct answere? Like battery backup i ty is very hard to reach such a result because of how we use and set our piece. Maybe you would like to ask around benchmarking instead and take part in how to set rules around this instead?
Just a bit if brain food and trying to be construtive around the subject of posting and such. Peace to all!

That post is for best custom ROM.
That can be different for different people. Some want ROM for gaming, others stability, others battery, other overall performance.
I was specifically interested in knowing about battery life as I have noticed that even with the same settings SetCPU, display etc each custom ROM gives a different battery output.
I travel a lot and battery life is very important for me.

[Q] Unable to leave feedback

Hello,
I am using a ROM, but am unable to leave feedback for the creature since I have less than 10 posts. Can someone help me to provide the feedback on the ROM somehow?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879323
The above link is the one I am using, and it is very good, but a few hiccups here and there that cause it to become unstable.
I am also experiencing some odd battery issue since using it, I dont know why. What happened was I was fiddling around with the settings and thought I would try out the calibrate battery feature with the ROM and see what happened - since then my battery takes hours to charge, but is empty in a few minutes so I am uncertain what happened.
Anyway, if anyone can help me provide some feedback with my experiance that would be helpful
Kind regards
Pete

Use the Q&A section to get help.And feed back for the creature? o.o

My apologies, this was a typographical error. I mean "creator" rather than "creature" - ie the guy who made the ROM
Sorry if this is in the incorrect secion, this was my fisrt posting. I would still be keem to get an answer to my original query, if possible
