For me Overcome rom is awesome than the original. Yeah you can download from market for applications. Overcome is also a Gingerbread Rom they just enhanced it t become fully stable for tab. No force close and more fast than the original.
Try overcome rom you won't regret. I you dont like this rom then your free go back to the original. Its up to you my friend...

I'm new to overcome..been using it from GOLD update,to hermes,n now on icarus..I know nothing much bout rom developing,unix,linux etc etc (list goes on..) honestly I'm still trying hard to understand most of the post on the overcome thread
did days of reading on the forum thread n overcome team website before I finally have the courage to flash for the 1st time (lol)
Until today, I don't have any regrets at all! Even after flashing to the stock gingerbread rom,I felt so excited like a kid got a new toy! eventho the latest release icarus got a few issues,but I believe the devs are working at their best to give us the best overcome experience! And I do believe "the best is yet to come"
Well,I can't post at the overcome thread yet,but I really do admires their work and am very thankful for their existance ;D

I use the overcome rom for many reasons.
The most important is that it enables sip calls in gingerbread without an extra application.
Video calls in talk are also a nice feature.
For a complete list of changes look at the first post of the overcome topic.

You guys convince me to try overcome rom. I will do as soon as i got time.
One last question can i backup my apps from titanium backup and restore on overcome?
Sent from top of Mt. Everest using XDA App

Yes you can use Titanium backup and some form of back up is always recommended.
Performance and features definately enhanced and the support from the team and more experienced guys is great.

The easiest way to backup apps in titanium backup is to use one of the batch scripts. Just hit the menu button in the apps list and choose something like backup all user apps and data. Then you just have to save your Titanium backup folder to PC or removable SD if you intend to restock before flashing overcome, because internal SD gets wiped.
When you have installed Ocvercome, copy.TB folder back to internal SD and use TB batch script to restore all missing apps and data. I strongly advice you to buy the pro version because otherwise you have to confirm the restore of every single app. But it's worth the money for sure as after the first flash, you will get addicted to it anyway and TB will make life so much easier.

I got sick of waiting for samsung australia to release gingerbread for the gtab so i i updated to overcome icarus last nite from 2.2 and my gtab flies now, battery usage seems to be the same as far as i can tell so no complaints there.
Backed up everything with titanium, restored contacts but they wouldnt appear until i restarted the machine. Restoring SMS didnt work

My phone still hangs and freezes-HELP!!!!!

Ever since upgrading to 2.3.3 I've been having random freezes that usually end up in needing a battery pull or pressing down on the power button until the phone reboots itself. i already did a fcty reset. my firmware is ZSJV6.
Another thing of note is that it seems to be the UI or input process that hangs or dies or something. Because whatever's running keeps running I just can't make the phone respond to touch or any of the hard buttons. what do u think is wrong?

Try 2.3.4 or move to a custom rom.

Thats good... now dump your stock firmware and move over to a Custom ROM. A custom ROM is a customised version of a stock ROM usually featuring enhancements and better stability.
There are a large number of custom ROMs for the i9000... try out CyanogenMOD or MIUI ROM.... Check out the DEV sections for the links or head over to their respective websites... Have fun

I believe Cyanogen doesnt have a stable build for the i9000 yet.... I'd recommend MIUI... You can also try out the other one's such as Darky's ROM... Go through the features of each ROM to decide which is best for you

im not that techy to be honest. i just follow whatever is instructed of me. can u help me?

I would suggest juwes smart edition, very stable and good and safe. So try it out first and then go to more specialized and hardcore roms like CM7 or MIUI.
Check out this link of Gingerreal rom for all the necessary downloads and flashing instructions.
Basically you should flash stock XXJVP, JVQ, JVR first and then flash a custom kernel like Semaphore or Galaxian and then flash the custom kernel via CWM in recovery.
HOME+VOL UP+POWER Buttons = RECOVERY MODE
HOME+VOL DOWN+POWER Buttons = DOWNLOAD MODE

Flash with Darky'w 10.2RE then you can upgrade it with 10.2.1

[Q] Am just about to go from GB to JB-a little advice required

Hi there
I am fairly newish to rooting etc and have spent the last week trawling the P1000 forums to try and understand it all.
I would like to take my P1000 GSM TAB from my stock GB2.3.3 to JB4.x and from what i have seen although the CM9 is stable I am tempted to go for the CM10 nightly install. (Do they differ greatly? not sureeven after reading the forums)
I am not sure how much such an install would differ from the tweaked CM10 versions I also see on this dev forum from the likes of Erezax (Sapir), Cdesai and Alroger etc. Only in minor ways i suppose with the possibility of further undiscovered bugs.
So from what i can gather, the method would be similar to that laid down in the Overcome installation pdf.
My question though is do i need to go the whole hog and install the overcome kernal/rom prior to installing the CM10 or can i just go as far as installing the stock GBStockSafev5 (which i want to do just in case, even though i have a stock ver of GB already) and then do a wipe install of CM10?
I ask because i read that it was even safer to go from an overcome rom with GB to CM10, as opposed to going from stock GB to CM10. Is there any truth in this would u know.?
many thx in advance for any reply
best rgrds
Lawrence

No direct way from stock to cm10 because stock recovery doesn't flash non Samsung made zip.

Almost giving up now...

Ok I have a GT P1000 (belongs to a friend)...
AND ALL I WANT IS A DAMN CM10.1!!
No clear instructions how to go to CM10.1 from CM9
No clear instructions where to change from CWM to TWRP
No clear instructions on how to fix errors
No clear instructions on how to 'restock' either (There are like a plethora of "restock" ROMs and have no clue which one to flash when).
PLz people..I am not angry..just upset..can any1 help.. plz?
PS: I have tried flashing CM10.1 by Alroger/Cdesai and the Touchwiz 4.2.2 and all three give me Status 7. There is absolutely no way I can change the recovery or fix this error. Is this some MD5 checksums issue?

Don't multi post your problem.
It is so simple. Most instruction for CM10.1 ask you to restock, so just do it.
You were in sos_sifou's overcome thread. Use that. If you forgot where, see my signature.
1) You better don't go from cm9 to cm10 directly, for reasons I mentioned there in reply to you.
2) You don't need to change from CWM to TWRP, when you flash the new ROM, it comes with TWRP in it's kernel. P1000 does not have separate partition for recovery. It has to be included in the kernel.
3) not everyone encounters your error
4) any of the restock instruction will likely work. If you haven't even tried, why didn't you? Safest is to use overcome method.
your status 7 will go away with overcome method.

Hi guy
The dude speaks true but you might want a bit of hand holding.
Alterbridge, a genius contributor, wrote a ROM in gingerbread called the overcome ROM for the p1 version of the tab based on leaked Samsung code. His latest version was called kratos and was really quite amazing. The overcome ROM can be downloaded from mirrors that are provided regularly on the xda SG tab site. Find using search p1 overcome from xda.
Loading this leaked GB ROM is called restocking and brings you to a vanilla system with few problems. Most people use Odin to load it under windows or heimdall under Linux. Both are pretty easy. They do erase anything on the sdcard though, so be careful.
This provides a stable base from which to install ICS and jb versions mostly championed by humberos, sbradymobile and cdsai. The 10.0 version mostly works. 10.1 has a broken front camera for selfie fans to lament but recent improvements to the battery life provides redemption. I like 10.1.
10.2 is still a bit wobbly but works well enough and gives the cutting edge if you can handle it.
To progress you have to find overcome and Odin / heimdall. Flash of and follow the prompts. This will give you a rooted tab under gingerbread and cw recovery.
Entering recovery you can flash any of the 10.x ROMs and the gapps zip and experience the latest android versions. Really quite amazing. Use too manager to find the latest gapps zip and the 10.1 daily uploads.
Hope this helps, read lots of xda and Google cm 10.1 BBQ to find the latest stable stuff.
Happy exploring, follow the guides precisely on the first posts of a thread to get updates and current info and to avoid bricks. Good luck, it's really rewarding to follow these amazing folks and their work.

Actually, Kratos was before overcome 4.1
If not mistaken, the alphabetical released ends with K (kratos) was for 3.x series.

[Q] ROM Options...

Hey guys and gals,
Noob here, only installed 1 or 2 ROM's in the past, but I would now like a hand deciding on a suitable ROM for my needs on my Galaxy Tab P1000 (UK/European)
I would like a ROM that is nice and responsive, has good battery life and is fairly customisable, and I guess most come already rooted? I would prefer it to be ICS or JB too I have looked about and seen a few CM10 ones, some MIUI ones and various others but I am lost for choice, I have no idea what ones are best.
I want everything to work (all wireless connections, camera etc...) don't mind things like auto brightness or similar as that isn't major. The main reason for wanting to change from the stock gingerbread is because I find it unresponsive and boring.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, thought Q&A was my best bet.
Thanks,
Cam.

Actually your best bet is to try them out yourself. All criteria are subjective.

Ok matey, will have a play!
Thanks,

Hey again,
Quick question,
For the MIUI v4 ICS ROM, which I like the look of alot, it needs a "restock" and install Overcome or a CM9 guide to be followed. (ROM link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613842 )
However, do I still need to do this as I haven't already installed any custom ROM? If I do can you give me a feint idea how I can approach it? Or can I just wipe cache/data etc.. and install the ROM?
Sorry if I am being a pain, not had to do any of this before.
Thanks,
Cam.

Many has your problem.
The thing is, newer ( well, post April 2012) ROM use new MTD layout, which need you to come from stock, or from same layout.
If your custom ROM were GB, no issue. They are stock BML partition, which the new rom can convert upon install.
If it were cm9 or 10, watch the mtd layout. The installer isn't made to convert older mtd to new mtd, so need restock.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app

Ok so as I have no custom ROM at all I need to restock to new layout. No problem, just wanted to know if it was necessary for me to do it.
Thanks for your help,
Cam.

Think I have got it, can someone please confirm my steps to make sure I am doing it right?
1. Flash latest CWM recovery using Odin
2. Make Nandroid backup using CWM
3. Flash GB-stock-safe, then flash Overcome kernel 4.0.0.tar using Odin for both (do I do these separately or is there a way to flash them together?)
4. Place MIUI v4 ROM and GApps etc.. on Tab's SD card.
5. Boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe data and flash ROM.
6. Flash GApps and patch's etc...
7. Reboot into ROM
If it doesn't reboot into MIUI I need to reflash the ROM as the first flash converted my Tab to MTD? Is that correct?
Hopefully I have got it,
Thanks in advance,
Cam

Actually, am I right in saying CWM isn't fully supported on P1000? What recovery should I use?
Sorry for all the questions again,
Cam.

Cwm is contained in kernel.
If you are willing to forgo backup, must start with GB stock safe v5
Then overcome kernel.
By then you have a cwm recovery.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app

Got it all installed/flashed last night. Went all ok and I worked out that the kernel included overcome cwm after reading a guide from the link in your Sig.
I suppose its good that I love the ROM too
Thanks for the help, appreciate it.
