By experiences best ROM for now is? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
i just got this great Samsung TAB and need by your experience best ROM for this device?
thank you.

One vote for overcome 4. Fast and stable, great install guide. You can't go wrong. Tried others but I always go back to overcome with go launcher ex, running at 182dpi.
Tried ics alpha3 and it's promising.
Cheers

Overcome 4.0.0, also for me; stable as a stock 2.3.3 but much faster and smoother

The DPI is like changue the resolution of your PC Monitor,
Lower DPI: More Screen Space, Fonts, Apps, and Icons, become smaller.
High DPI: Icons and Fonts are Bigger, lower screen Space.
To changue dpi: You can use Rom Toolbox app you can find it in the market.
I prefer lower dpi, by the screen space feels like a real tab not a big cell phone

BOCA, smooth, lots of usefull apps installed, no annoying Touchwiz...
Just sometimes makes problems with the Market when the language is set to German, changing it to english and its perfect.

Brilliant m8. I was waiting for this so i could use RC1.
Many thanks
Will this still only show 3g and not hspda, does that need to be patched on the cyanogen side?

Ah I didn't do this, oh well I kinda like it now I've gotten used to it, a transparent status bar would look nice.
The battery indicator would be nice in finer increments and not just an entire quarter, would be more precise that way.
Thanks for the theme. Though Im stuck on the In Cyanogen Settings, choose custom theme. Select "thyrusminimal" theme. part.
Im going to settings / CyanogenMod settings but I see no custom theme settings :/
Great theme
Just installed the theme, really like it alot. The font is great but why the 2 dpi versions? Or sm i being noobish? Keep up you excellent work.

Thank you, sir!
The 2 dpi settings have a purpose. On the standard 240 dpi from android, a lot of the screen potential gets lost. Keep in mind that the 240 dpi with 800x480 settings were designed for the 3.7 screen sizes. As such, a 4.3 inch screen is a little bit of an overkill. Test it yourself, you can swap between both themes easily

Installed the 200dpi version and wow it's so much better, seems like a lot more space on the screen, it's easier on the eye too.
So this theme only works with CM?
Waiting for RC2 update
CyanogenMod for Desire HD
I havent installed rc2 yet, but I heard from others that my theme works just fine with RC2 as well without any amendments.. will try it out
Installed Rc2 with a wipe first, and elements of the theme are still present. How do you remove, as there is an issue with the standard twitter client. The theme makes the sign in button transparent! Guessed where the button normally is and managed to sign in.

AWESOME Launcher thats BETTER than Launcher Pro

The App is Called "Go Launcher" which can be found in the market place for FREE. Its is very very very fast with no lag at all with apps. Also, has a built-in Task Manager that is better than ATK or The Froyo stock Task Manager.

I use go sms and with all go apps I notice a slight lag.

Not to be a troll, but I think it's worse than that, he's not using a 2nd camera, he's using an iPhone.
I have tried that one before and it is nice although no vertical scrolling is a no no for me. Still, nothing beats Launcher Pro although the Samsung launcher they are including with Froyo Roms now is damn nice too.
But yeah, your title needs some help mate.

I happen to think YOUR post is more "annoying" tsk tsk prejudging another's opinion.
The OP said it was better........and BECAUSE the OP said it was better I actually became interested,,,, If he had said "here is another good launcher" first of all.....DUH...there are other good launchers......That would not have gained my attention. But since I respect those who post here and feel they can have GOOD information merely because they are here I decided to give it a read and a try.......DLed it and its not bad. If it loads faster than LP I may stick with it. Don't need a task manager though.....
I paid for LP and it's nearly as good as LP in my usage patterns..for those who don't want the paid version of LP it is a great choice.
Some of you need to get off your high horses....Its only a mobile phone device, not the foundation for world peace.. and without noobs there are no back pats for you and certainly no donations...
Respect all who have an extraordinary interest the same as your own...
The thread and title is valid and in the right place....

"prejuding another's opinon"???? i tried this launcher weeks ago.....
I didn't judge his opinion of the launcher.. I judged the title of the thread... If you have the ability to properly read english... I said that this is a personal preference... Where did I judge his opinion?
Am I perfect on this forum? no... far from it... But the title is dumb. It appears that some in this thread agree.

[Q] TouchWiz 3.0 VS 4.0?

Hi , i'd like to know, what are the huge advantages of having 4.0 instead of 3.0? are there many huge differences? tbh, i kind of like the look of 3. (like the black background on launcher etc)
but i see everyone going to 4.0..
what are the huge advantages?
is it slower than 3.0? does it require more RAM to run? can you have both?
It looks MUCH better. Just search for 'Touchwiz 4.5' here on XDA. It's a heavy modified version of the original TW4.

4.5 is the modded XDA-version. Samsung didn't officially release TW4 for our SGS (only for SGS2).
Sent from hell to take your soul
Some one could just answer the guy, isit(T4) faster and what are the benefits over Tw3, he,s just being told "touch 4.5" is great. Probably is but we arn't getting to the root.Can't you just see the guy sitting there, to embarrassed to ask 1 more time, lol,.....any one know , he he?
Well, he should just try TW4, there are some ROMs with it too. It looks better (in my opinion). I would not say that it's faster.
And he doesn't have to be ashamed, XDA is a big forum and forums are here that people can ask questions.
Yeh haha xD
thanks for the replies guys!

touchwiz 4/4.5 has loads of FC and its not stable for some users including me... even though its fast and smooth i still prefer launcher pro
definitelly TW4 is much better than TW3
- TW3 does not have the 5 icon dock (only modded versions do)
- TW4 has better environment for placing shortcuts, widgets, wallpapers
- TW4 has better options to organize apps in app drawer (folders)
- TW4 is easier to scroll to any desktop within a second
- TW4 needs more resourses, but e.g. on JUWE 5.1 and Talon kernel it is smooth
I have never tried the TW4.5

It flies on the sgs2, but wondering how it would cope on the sgs1.

wonder no more: touchwiz 4.5 (you should probably get this one as opposed to touchwiz 4, but i can't since i haven't tried it) flies on sgsl as well; faster, in fact, than TW 3 (using xxkph, by the way; it's important because gingerbread adds 10 mb more to the ram)
it looks better, particularly 4.5 since i guess all those snazzy transition animations are xda's work (i've had hands-on time with the sgs 2 and those animations aren't there). and once you slap a theme over all of it...lets just say you're going to make your friends jealous
again, while i can't vouch for 4, 4.5 has one bug and it's that the stock samsung widgets won't work on it. it comes with a manager that lets you download fixed versions of those widgets AND sgs 2 widgets (all of them, except for calendar in my case, work)
trust me, take the jump to 4.5, you won't regret it (at least, i hope not )

[Q] How do you change default launcher in Xron 2.9.1?

When I launched Xron 2.9.1 I chose to set the ICS launcher as my default. I would like to change it to ADW. How do I do it? I searched in the settings and found nothing.
Thanks
I love this new update Xron 2.9.1!
Go to Settings, application, manage applications, all applications, ICS Launcher, clear defaults.
Or download Launcher Switcher from the market
I suggest getting the launcher switcher, then you can try other launchers on the fly without going into settings and clearing the cache. I use it both on my phone and the TP.
TP is SPB 3D and ADW
Phone is SPB 3D and stock HTC

I don't understand why Leo put Ics launcher there. He is running a non overclock tp. My experience is very slow response on Ics. Can't stand it at all. I switch to go launcher since xron1. 3. Is it just me having that experience. I'm not complaining. Just don't understand..

I have used it for a while and never experience any issue with ICS launcher even tho I dont use it now...ADW launcher X all the way..

there's this A.I type keyboard. Excellent prediction engine and has got many themes in the pro version (Including Gingerbread stock and WP7). I like it, but in the end it all comes to personal preferences.
