What rom works it rom manager - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So please excuse my noobness on this question. I have a galaxy tab 7 inch tab for t mobile. I have rooted the tablet but I am having a hard time putting roms on the device. I have rom manager but I want to know what is a good rom that I can install using rom manager. Are there any honeycomb roms. Im new to this so is it much deeper than using rom manager to put them on the device. I know I have to have clockworkmod installed. Thanks for help or suggestions in advance

[Q] Galaxy S ROM and Recovery

Hey all,
I would firstly like to thank all the development members here for all their hard work and efforts in making android devices a better bread.
My question is as follows, I have a friend with a galaxy s and he is complaining about lag and random freezing, he has also shown me when the os brings up an fc window and the device needs to be hard reset (battery removed). I want to know if anyone can suggest an android rom much like miui or something stripped down and cleaned up (both kernel wise and bloatware wise). Also I have heard about Samsung trying to remove recovery from the device so id anyone is kind enough to link me to some articles on how to check and repair this should he have a device effected by this. Also any articles on radio that I may need to read.
Many thanks in advanced.

Go to doc's magical kitchen,there u can "cook" your own rom,
u need to install rom manager from market and install clockwork mod
From top of the app.but read about flashing rom and kernel
From the first thread in rom kitchen,it's safe to flash,IF u do it right
But still things can go wrong.
Hey Zodiaxe66,
Thanks for your reply. I am already aware on how to actually "Flash" a device and how to use ROM manager, Clockwork and so on.
More to my point was if any one know's of any ROM's that are like MIUI and are stripped. Also if anyone is aware about the apparent issue(s) with attempting to flash a Galaxy S (as they apparently stripped the recovery, from the phone in some batches).
Thanks again.

[Q] Need A Little Help With These Roms...

Hi everyone!
I've been an android user since the G1 and have had many different devices since then(htc magic, sony ericsson xperia x10, lg eve-yuck, htc desire, etc) and I have now just jumped on board with the Galaxy Tab!!!
I'm totally stoked and very happy to be joining everyone here in samsung tablet land, and I just wanted a litttle helping hand to speed things up for me a bit
So basically, I have a GSM tab thru rogers that I have just rooted and installed clockworkmod recovery on. I decided to flash the MoDaCo custom rom on and play around for a bit with no problem. What I need some help with tho, is maybe a brief explaining of the differences between the very few roms available right now for our tabs.. overcome v1.2.3, MoDaCo, etc.
I know for example, when dealing with my desire, there are a bunch of roms all catering to diff needs/wants/etc and they have diff looks and features not to mention diff versions of android-2.1/2.2/2.3
Whats the deal with the galaxy tab? Any help is much appreciated. Opinions are all welcome.
(if 3.0 honeycomb was available I wouldn't be asking this right now lol)
THANKS EVERYONE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO KEEPING UP WITH THE TAB SCENE ALONG WITH YOU ALL!!!!!!
Hi!
i needed some help from you.As you said u have installed the clockworkmod recovery.I have been trying to do that from the past 2 days but im not able to.i have unrooted my samsung tab, and i have checked if the bootloader is locked and it is not.and i have installed the Rom Manager.But when i try to click "FLASH CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY" i get and error " error while downloading from server.Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection, and that your SD card is inserted and has free space!" Can you please help me with this?
Hey, sorry for the late reply..
I had a few problems starting out with rom manager as well.. You have probably figured it out already, but I would grab the overcome rom that has cwm attached already.. Super easy. Once you get it installed you can easily use rom manager to boot into cwm whenever you like..

Galaxy Tab 7 ROM Q's

I am getting an ATT Galaxy Tab 7 inch and have a few Q's. I have searched around but cant find specific answers to some Q's.
I am new to the Tab, but have been running Android on my HTC HD2; booting Android from the SD card once WinMo loads.
The question I have is, are you able to put a mobile phone flavor of Android on the Tab. And if so, can it be done with a ROM that boots from an SD card on a phone, or does it have to be NAND?
This is what I am running on my phone...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970542
I really like it and am wondering if I can put it on the Tab as the only OS. I have read that you can make the Tab so it can be used as a phone also, which is what I plan to do.
Any answers would be appreciated. And, if someone could steer me in the right direction with respect to putting a non stock ROM on, that would be appreciated also.
I guess it was a stupid Q!
The development section is devoted to non-stock roms.
Maybe you can request the developer that create the rom to make one that suit the tab. He need to port it to our tab before you can use it to flash.
You need to understand, SG tab is not a WM device which the android OS need to boot from SD card. Tab is using android OS, and if you want to use custom rom on it, you need to flash the tablet custom rom (not a phone rom) which will replace the stock rom.

Now that I got my Tab, and have been doing a little self learning, I realize the Tabs capabilities, and what can be done with it....I think! I have flashed with the Overcome ROM, and have made the needed fine tuning. Thanks for the reply.

a message and a question

morning (or evening depending on where you are!)
so my much beloved x10 mini pro died on me recently and ive taken to using my old m8800 at the moment. My lovely wife has told me she is getting me the galaxy mini for christmas (not too far away).
so just to fill you in im aware of how to root an android phone (superoneclick normally does the trick) and changed the rom on my mini pro several times. basically what im looking for is an opinion (advice if you will) on the best rom or roms for the galaxy mini. my intention is to change what will be the current stock 2.2 for something in a 2.3!!
any suggestions would be great as would any pitfalls to watch out for with what im sure will be a large amount of roms that are available.
many thanks
Jim
NOTE: SuperOneClick works only on 2.2. For 2.3 Upd_1.zip trick should work. You can find all custom ROMs in Development section of Mini. And I'm not sure which is the best ROM available. And as you are going for 2.3 you can find stock ROMs in sammobile.com
Good luck!
the galaxy mini i will be getting is running on android 2.2 so superonclick should be ok for the initial rooting of the phone, i understand that there may be a firmware upgrade to android 2.3.3 available through samsungs keis software but ill see what is around before i get the phone so i know what my choices are.
thanks for the response
No point in rooting froyo cuz ultimately u'll endup using cm7 most probably...so as soon as u get ur phone, update it to 2.3.4 via kies or Odin method...flash cwm and flash cm7.
Done deal.
Note: what I said here is not period.

You'll lose the root access (which is done in 2.2) when you upgrade to Android 2.3, just in case for info.

ROM Manager is not supported for Galaxy Mini. Those who had installed probably had screwed their phones. So stay away from it.
Well, i use srock 2.3.4... works fine. But, tried custom, and it slowed my phone down big time...

Cwm from ROM manager doesn't brick now.
But it works perfectly for some but not for others.

Yes, agreed with you. I think we need to manually override the installation of CLock Work Mod recovery to make Rom Manager Working after flashing latest CWM recovery manually using Odin.
