Which rom would you choose? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey. Im wondering which rom you would choose between the ICS alpha 3 build and the honeycomb RC1 build? I use my tab almost everyday for surfing the web and playing games. Right now im on the Alpha 3. Please tell me and also why you would take either one!
Best regards

If you can get the wifi to work, ICS is the better route.

I recommend sticking with the ICS. There are a lot more people interested in working on that right now than Honeycomb.
I have a Sprint tab, so we didn't get much attention for Honeycomb ports to begin with... not saying there weren't some very devoted people like Spacemoose, CDMA tabs just aren't as popular is all.
However, across the board, there seems to be a LOT of interest in ICS from all the custom rom DEV teams as well as Google. I think you'll see more updates for that over time, just like we all did for Gingerbread.

ICS one seems better..

Let's look at the Android OS evolution:
Froyo -> Gingerbread -> Honeycomb -> IceCreamSandwich.
Naturally, the answer is there: ICS.

[Q] Android 2.3.3 from scratch

I followed this guide to try to compile android 2.3.3 for SGS i9000 http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blade-roms-rom-customisation/331160/how-to-compile-android-in-a-debian-32bit-environment/
but i don't think it is for it.
I searched the web, but no luck.
can anyone help me ?
I'm trying to get a good ROM, something clean and not a stock ROM...
Use cyanogen. That's sounds like what your looking for. And in the future remember to post this stuff in q/a

Everybody wants this. Cm7 pretty much sucks on the sgs, its never updated and you battery wont last half a days. So if you really want a aosp experience buy another phone. I for one have given up hope that its ever going to happen on this phone (after almost a year, rediclous).

It will get fixed as soon as the SGS gingerbread source code is released. Also any other AOSP ports will need to use the CM7 kernel source as does MIUI and the source port that was opened here on XDA today, as it is kind of a port of the kernel for the nexus S that is designed to run on the other SGS variants.

Before writing an derogatory post, do a bit of research.
CM7 on Galaxy S runs wonderfully and a significant number of Galaxy S users are using this as their daily driver. The remaining bugs are small. Battery life is only slightly worse, and in my usage patterns, makes no difference really. New builds are released every couple of days...check the changelog/release history.
Giving up hope on something that's nearly perfect? How depressing.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...d-7-for-samsung-galaxy-s-phones-experimental/
To the OP: someone is already trying to do a "clean AOSP" based of the work that the CM7 is doing. Why you were using ZTE Blade instructions is beyond me. A brief search would have turned up this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030059
And try to post in the right section please It helps everyone.
Thanks guys,
I'll try the CM7...
If not, I'll try the PMDroid.
SGS is confusing, there is XXJVK and UGKC! or JPJPM
with the MyTouch if the rom is 32A then it will work...
I have GT-I9000. with GB 2.3.3. XXJVK stock Rom.
I have lost the Phone, Contacts, Message icons on Bottom Bar of idle screen, it remained only Applications icon.
How can I bring back those..
I had this once with froyo:
go to settings -> applications - all apllications > tw launcher (or startpage or homescreen) and delete all data. But be aware, at least in froyo you loose all homescreens as well.
Regards,

been away for a while, which rom is kickin?

hey guys, haven't touched my sgs1 in almost a year since I got my sgs2.. I'm currently on early 10.something, is darkyrom still the best? it gets pretty laugh.. have to restart it alot.. good battery life tho. so what's in top now, maybe cm7? Clare there different versions of cm7? (that has voodoo sound right?). anyone offer me a stable rom that won't run out of ram lol?
ill give thanks/rep to anyone who offers suggestions
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
There are quite a lot of ROMS to choose from. I have tried many of them myself, and am currently flicking between GALAXYDROID v 3.3 and SAUROM. I like the touches of galaxydroid yet like the stock feel of Saurom. I tried Darkys in many versions, and always found the battery life not too good.
Best way is to look at whats on offer, and give them all a bash. Each to their own end of the day.

My choice as well.
That depends on what your looking for cuz there is no such thing as a perfect rom...so there is jetpack which has great battery and you can check to my video review on it and the ics from team hackers is also good but not as stable as it is in beta still. hope i helped
My video is on youtube called jetpackmod review by bestnabil55

Why ics

Why all the ICS for Samsung galaxy s i9000 don't wanna to be together if really together will be perfect phone and is the best for the best??
send by DickyLikeToCrazyOnPhone
When I heard that the first ics rom was being ported I was so excited, with all the new features, the user interface, I said finally were all going to look alike "One OS to rule them all" all android phones I mean, sadly every company had gone their separate way to make it theirs and that wasn't the intended, what I want to see is the stability of the iOS, plus the customized powers of the Android, let's just hope huh
BTW I am not saying it should be like the iOS, ui wise but battery, performance, and unity between devices, that's all

Personally I think ICS is overrated for I9000 at least...
Samsung should just implement TW4 to I9000 which has all those features without need of any extra hardware...
TW4 has all those capabilities such as MTP without need for phone to be locked etc.
why ICS
why ICS? Because it's better than Gingerbread simply.
couldnot send mms with darky rom (provider: fonic, germany). with team hacksungs build 14 it works.
ics is looking nice and i dont miss anything.
because I don't need Arabic/Persian/RTL fix. (ICS support RTL languages already)
ICS is faster than GB
No battery drain any more!
I feel really more stable in ICS (It's beta version and what's gone be Stable version, will be realy ROCK)
hey Samsung lock at me [LOL] I'm on ICS and this hard-wares working perfectly.
Thanks to teamhacksung/

Agree 100% GGB has been terrible with every version.
What we're really looking for in ICS is hardware acceleration and general speed increase. I ultimately don't think samsung will be able to add an option "Force 2D acceleration" onto gingerbread.

agreed, Froyo 2 versions (2.2.1) before being fast, stable and efficient. It took 6 Gingerbread versions (2.3.5) for android to not be a battery/resource hog, fast, stable and efficient.
Once I tried ICS, I don't want to be back to Gingerbread again, even if it means non official ROM's/some bugs. Pro's are more than con's

ICS is very good but there are still bugs and some instability. If the developers fix them ICS will be very good for SGS
Yes definitely I can't wait... Literally I look at the forums every hour if not more often than that, I have a evo3d and I want the update already but I want it senseless I think for now maybe HTC makes ics with sense better who knows
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
It's more aesthetically pleasing. :>
ICS has fast performing... battery life is fab.. I had GB and CM and today i use ICS.. And once u have ics u dont come back for sure... its like u have a new phone once u flash ics.. it really works amazing...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Why?
Because it runs smoother, battery lasts longer, default font looks better, GMail client is better, uses less RAM than stock GB roms...
I'm on ICSSGS RC3.1 and it is already very stable for day to day use... I'm gonna use it until ICSSGS final is released and than flash it and wait for Jellybean
ICS is more refined. GB settings menu went on forever.
Flashed ICS on my SGS1 and never ever wanna go back to GB again, it's a better phone. Yea, there are still issues and bugs, but I'll live with them.
Can't wait for the official ICS for SGS2.
You guys are missing the point
I think you guys are misinterpreting OP's post. It sounds like he's asking why are there so many different versions of ICS rom.
Well for starters, you have the AOSP ICS rom, which is compiled from the ICS source code from Google. Then you have CM9 alpha, which is compiled from...well, cyanogen mod codes, which is a modified version of the ICS source code. Most if not all other ICS roms are based on the previous two roms with slightly different tweaks, kernels, etc.
P.S. For someone who came from Singapore, OP your English is just terrible. A quarter my family's in Singapore, so I can spend a good chunk of my time there.
What are these bugs I keep hearing about with ICS and CM? I'm currently trying to find a build of rom that doesn't have any issues, though through my vast searches and trials of roms I find there are bugs on most if not all the roms currently availible including the gingerbread roms, so i guess it's a case of whcich bugs can you live with..

Bionic ROMS?

Whats the newest, most bug free ROM out there for Bionic, thats still getting updates?
I've had the Bionic for a couple of weeks and already got disapointed.
back when i rocked the DX2 i was die-hard Eclipse.
well on bionic i notaced many bugs, and i re-flashed, redownloaded, the works. had the same issues.
anyway. nitro sold his bionic, so no more Eclipse. so i swung to the other side to try Liberty. its cool. no where neer as boss as Eclipse. but they both have pros and cons. anyway.
come to find out Liberty devs stopped for the bionic too. so, my question is, what is the newest, bestest rom, thats still getting updates, and lots of themes? preferably a boss ICS theme D
Active Bionic Roms
There are several alpha and beta Roms out for the Bionic however most of them still have bugs ranging from no 3G/4G to the front facing camera not working. From what I can tell the only stable Rom for the Bionic is gummy. This may be due to the Bionic having a locked boot loader. Hopefully either Nitro will get a used Bionic and continue development or development will increase when or if ICS is officially released on the Bionic.
i hope he does too. i really enjoyed Eclipse. besides the fact thant when i held down the power button to get the reboot options it would just straight up reboot. (very annowing when wanting recovery)
i think the AOKP ICS rom thats out looks mighty spiffy, but i dont know what all doesnt work, and i dont want to risk having to go back to my old old devour. (sold the DX2)
anyway. thanks for your input!
here is me and @insanemods rom mainly his but working on fixing all the bugs stuck at f.c.'s at the moment but mostly works themes galore lockscreen changes and such... here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535293
I'm in the same boat as you, trying to find a stable ROM rather than go back to de-bloated Blur. The only other recommendation I can give besides those already mentioned is dhacker's April 5th nightly of CM9.
I obviously haven't been using it for long, but it has so far has a pretty consistent data connection.
DroidHive -> Downloads -> Bionic -> CM9 SELFKANG BIONIC ICS
I've been running CM9 Unofficial since it dropped. Currently I am on 04-04 and have had stable data and WiFi since I flashed it. HW accel and video are the only things really missing for me. Give it a shot.

i can see apple as first install install like nova launcher or apex and the "apple" is gone dude simple as that super customizable at that point.. just sayin' but do what you want..
I do prefer the AOKP ICS rom port over the CM9 just for the little details, but they're rather similar.
Being new to this stuff, I don't know what "Repo Sync & Build" means. But I've used the rom linked below, and in my eyes, it was merely the March 13th nightly of the AOKP rom port--also on droidhive, their latest is april 8th.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527544
Both the AOKP and CM9 4.0.3 roms have the same bugs as mentioned above.
No HW accel. Games crash.
Video has issues.
Data is intermittent. I'll have rock steady data all day, but then the next day it won't work at all.

im with this guy.
even 3G
im using the one on her the repo sync and build ICS AOKP.
well, one thats getting updates like the ICS roms.
like is CM9 or the AOKP better?
or pretty much the same, but with one with 'rom controll"
hell, i wouldnt mind just a port of stock ICS with boss data connectivity.
oh, with the AOKP can i update between nightlys just by wiping cache and flashing, or do i need to factory reset everything?
I use eclipse 2.2 after using liberty for .901. I tried gummy but had issues.

anyone have a link for a stock 902 thats deodexed and flashable?
The Gummy ICS rom is VERY good and is only missing a working camcorder...and that's it. I ran it for days and ZERO issues, except for that. Eventually I just got too uncomfortable not being able to use the video camera and went back to stock. It just updated yesterday as well, but still no video recording:
http://goo.im/devs/TeamGummy/Roms/Targa
For that gummy ROM do you only flash that one, becsuse the Gapps are part of it?
no there is also a Gapps package for it as well....i'm sure its on their site.
I did not see it unless it isin a different slot than the ROMs. A link would help

[Q] What stable ROM would you recommend?

I recently purchased this 8.9 tablet and extremely surprised how lacking the developer community is, i come from the desire hd and im updating my phone weekly sometimes even faster, but i came here and aokp/cm are apparently buggy and the threads are outdated with some even months old!
Im used to seeing pages go into 1000 pages, but here theres not even 6!
Anyway.... its a surprising change and im skeptical if its worth even rooting at all! Any recommendations?
All the ICS Roms pretty much have the same bugs and will, until the Official Update. I've tried all of them and they're definitely faster and more customizable than stock obviously but if you're looking for a 'fully functional' Rom, either try Overcome (which is a really good HC Rom) or stick with stock for another month or two. I went back to stock, rooted, removed the bloatware and apps that I wouldn't use and I'm pretty happy with that setup until something more stable comes along.

+1 instead of complaining be thankfull of what you have if you cant contribute to anything then just keep that to yourself because that wont help. .
Yes, definitely be thankful. Check out the gtab 7 plus community. Now that's lacking!
Anyhow I'll suggest kallt kaffe's cm9 june 8 build. The latest build I've read has some issues with the device powering itself off. All in all, I've been very impressed by kallt kaffe's cm9 build/ports!
Stock ROM is ok until ICS update. Just flash the motley's kernel, overclock it to 1.4-1.5 ghz and you will be very surprised by the speed of it. Also benchmark scores will increase significantly and touchwiz will be smooth.

Agreed. But instead of stock, I recommend Overcome 3.2.
Used HC stock rom for 2 days and it was very laggy. Went straight to the ICS ROMS which are much better. Didn't test Overcome 3.2 though. Performance between AOKP and CM9 are pretty much the same but CM9 has MUCH better batterylife. Would definitely go for CM9 which is official so you can flash nightlies all week long
