[Q] Galaxy Tab P1000 new owner: any reccomendation with roms?

Hi everybody.
I just bought my very first tablet- a GT p1000.
Now, in the past few days I've been watching vids about CM9, which I find extremely cool.
As I gather, it is nowhere near completed yet tho.
So, in the meantime, could you suggest some decent looking and 100% working rom for my tablet?
You gotta admit, this forum is not very search friendly.
I have official Froyo installed as of right now, which is not very nice.
Thanks in advance and sorry for bothering ya'll.
Cheers.

just go to the dev thread and see the most popular posts there.
I think Overcome 4.1 is most popular.
You can try Hyperdroid and Accudroid too. All are GB ROMs.

Hi, I'm a newbie as well. Flash mine with Overcome 4.1 and then Hyperdroid a few days later.
My suggestion as a newbie is to use overcome 4.1 if u don't want to use stock rom.
I use Hyperdroid coz using Overcome, I have wifi disconnecting on it's own same like when I use stock GB 2.3.3
PS: Should u choose to use Hyperdroid, mind u it's a very slim rom, many of the standard app is not installed by default. But you can always install the removed applications manually. Hyperdroid has a zip file containing all the standard removed applications.

Thanks both for the suggestions.
I checked both out already.
I also checked aestethic only personalisations via apps and themes and I have to say they're pretty nice too (might just do that while waiting for CM9 in a few weeks).
Is it true tho that official GB has wifi problems?
That's worrying, since I'll be using wifi most of the time.

Wifi issue is hit and miss.
Maybe it is wifi router dependant. Maybe 10%-20% has it.
I am fine using overcome 4.1 with 3 different wifi router.

wifi issue was 100% caused by belkin router.
If you do have belkin router, see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441040&highlight=wifi
If you have different router, there shouldn´t be problems with wifi

Thanks for the info.
I have Netgear both at home & workplace.
Not a pressing matter after all anyway as I found out:
I managed to get a 3gb/month with no overlimit charge (only slower speed) for 5 euros/month. That'd should be plenty.
Pretty nice.

Sorry again, but what is the maximum size micro sd I could use on the P1000?
Is it 32 or 64gb?
Thanks.

thanks for the reply ..
I'm downloading all the neccesary files on the link above, still waiting for completing ..
the problem is I never flash this gtab before so it not containing any cwm recovery yet , so if flash with overcome would it gives cwm recover to my gtab ?
just notice few things on the link above ;
1. it contain gingerbread rom , my gtab already on gb , should I still do this ?
2. it have No_wipe & Wipe versions , which one should I use ?
is this just to get cwm recovery ?

I can't say, read the threads and take your favorite rom and flash that one first and try others as well before you setup your Phone to use it everyday so you will know what is available and works for you.

[Q] SGH-I987 - New (to me) Device - Questions

Hey All,
I'm a Sprint Nexus S 4G user/Nook Color user, been around for a while, I've flashed a number of custom ROMs to my devices so I've been around the block a few times when it comes to doing all of this.
I'll be receiving a AT&T SGH-I987 (7" Galaxy Tab) soon, so I figured I'd start doing some research on the subject of installing custom ROMs on it so that I'm well informed before I blow it up.
I'm not an AT&T customer, so I'll probably just use the Wi-Fi capabilities of the device for the time being (unless Sprint upsets me and I move to a GSM carrier).
I'm fairly certain the device will be in stock condition when I receive it, so let's make that assumption for the time being.
I presume the first thing I'll do is check whether it's running 2.2 (Froyo) or 2.3 (Gingerbread).
If it's running 2.2, I'll want to check to see if the bootloader is signed/locked, and if it's locked, I'll need to unlock the bootloader using the patch here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071
If it's running 2.3, it sounds like I can pretty much just root the device with the following guide and go from there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367
After that, I'm wide open to flash pretty much any ROM from what I can tell.
I've got enough Android devices around, so I was thinking about buying the media dock for this one and leaving it connected to the TV as a web browsing device, amongst other things.
Because of that, I'll probably try (though it will take some serious self control) not to throw Ice Cream Sandwich (AOKP or CM9) on it - keeping in mind that TV out isn't yet working in either of these ROMs (the biggest reason to go the ICS route would be for the bluetooth keyboard/mouse support...).
Looks like as of January 2012, Overcome 4.1.0 supports HDMI output, so at least I'd be able to get it up to 2.3.6.
Any thoughts, suggestions, or ideas the community can throw my way?
pitcherj

Sounds like you have it covered. If you start at teamovercome.net you can get the stock safe gingerbread, tools, and instructions. The stock safe gingerbread is rooted and has the CWR in the kernel. From that base you can go anywhere.

ranger captain,
Awesome!
Thanks for the sanity check!

I got a link below for the guide to install Overcome ROM, but I can't see any picture,
I've switched PC and still the same so I guess its the site that has the problem..

I hope someone could get the FM radio to work here.. I'd love to have it..there is a work in progress though...hope it would be a go,
basing on their teardown of the tab there is a chipset for that..now I don't know the reason for samsung not to activate it..

hi..
I'm able to follow the guide given at the overcome net
I was only able to get up to #6 which boots my tab up to JQ1 GB condition..
When I try to flash the overcome kernel v4.0.0 tar file, odin reported fail and
I can't boot the tab (I think I soft bricked it) the screen only showed a figure of cellphone and a pc with an exclamation inbetween.
I connected the tab to odin and again flash to GB stock safe v5 tar.
thankfully the tab booted to stock GB again.
Anyone know whats wrong?? Help please..

By the way don't be afraid if any of you softbricked your tab, its a nice learning experience plus gives you alot of confidence to tackle any future problems.

Well, just received the tab.
It's running 2.2, so thar be dragons ahead.

Hey All,
Everything went well!
One small hangup that may be helpful to others - when the instructions on the teamovercome page say to "sync with kies at least once" - you don't have to transfer data or anything, it just means have kies open, connect the tab, and make sure the drivers install successfully.
The bootloader patch went well - my device only allows installing signed firmwares, but that's fine.
Ran with teamovercome 4.1.0 for a while, but decided since I don't have a dock with HDMI for it yet that I'd give humberos a try.
Very simple install - copied the three zips to internal storage, flashed with CWM as instructed, boom.
Very nice guys, thanks for all of your help!

As promised here is my experience with the overcome rom
overall everything is nice and smooth
the battery seems to last longer..
the transition is good gives you a feel of ICS like feature..especially the music where Google music was in place of the stock player..
When you switch on the tab you are greeted by the overcome logo (nice)
the notification tab was give a nice overhaul and good looking widgets
overall good performace but the gyroscope mechanism seems not to work here..
(any ideas..)
the temple run i installed won't tilt to collect coins he he he..
overall I'd give it a five star...

[Q] New 8.9 owner amd noob needs help rooting

So i got the 8.9 last week and am pretty happy so far. My main uses are internet surfing and hd videos from youtube and play store. However one of my only complaints is that this thing isnt the fastest. I upgraded to official ics when i first got the tab and its not bad but still id like to install Asop jellybean and overclock the tab to 1.2 or 1.4. However id hate to brick my tab which i see on here all the time. The only problem is i have no idea how to root, even after reading and searching for the past week. My question is could some one tell me or show me a link to show EXACTLY how to root to the newest asop jb from official ics without bricking and then tell me how to oc it? I am such a noob with this, I dont know what kernels or anything is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure how missed this thread in the list. It's stickied at the very top.

Good thing i didn't go a head and try to root. I have official ics installed and apparently you have to flash so,e cmw rom or something but i have no idea how to do that, i have searched the forums and all the instructions are just kind of bland and not real specific. Sad as it is, i am someone who needs exact instructions and explanations of how to specifically complete each instruction. Sorry that i am being a pain. I just bought thus tab on a amazon credit card and have not even, ade the first payment that is why I am so worried about bricking or messing up the tab. Thanks for any help

Hmm. I'd be careful recommending ROMs just yet. He hasn't mentioned which model of 8.9 Tab he has.
Given that he mentions he's already on ICS I'd assume he's probably got a wifi-only P7310. He doesn't mention any other radio types (3G, LTE, etc.).
@Wrebbs, what model 8.9 tab do you have?

I've tried various roms and liked cm10 very much. Had to flash stock 3.2 via odin to get rid of the garbled screen issue and decided to try update OTA to ics that worked and i'm running stock ics on my dutch 7310 now this works fairly well, so i am going to wait untill the battery drain issue is being fixed on cm10 and try again then

Not happy with the stock ICS version of the Tab? Did it upgrade over kies? Are you in the US? I am in Europe and have the 3G version. Have to use a ported rom from 7500 to get ICS.
The ICS I have runs really smooth! Price was good aswell. Strange that your TAB is slow...
Only problem I have is that Adobe Flash gives me some trouble in HD and on some sites.
I tried HC 3.2 Stock, CM10 JB 4.1, SafariKing ICS and ported ICS from 7500 v2 and honestly - If I had stock original ICS I think I would stay with it! The Jellybean ROMs still have issues. in Alpha Beta stages.
The Tracid rom mentioned might be the next rom I try, but still happy with the ICS rom I have. If it aint broke don't fix it... (Itchy though, flashing roms is fun.)

Take it from someone whos hard bricked before, take your time and do your homework. Make sure you know the rom is for your specific device. You're not going to see drastic speed increases even if oc'd. So take your time and re-read everything. Your going to have to flash a recovery first, cwm or twrp through odin. Again, make sure it's for your device. Then you can root or flash a rooted rom. Once again, make sure it's for your device.

[Q] Stuck with Ginerbread 2.3.6, Slowdown. Need Help

Hi Guys,
I am a Galaxy S user. My Galaxy S was bought in Finland and still running (basically stuck with) Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU). The phone's hardware is just fine (except slow GPS) but it has become paninfully slow and sometime shutting down/restarting on it's own.
Is it a good idea to reset the existing GingerBread 2.3.6 or get a different ROM?
I am a total novice and have not tried any other ROMs on it. I did some research about the alternative ROMs but there are so many options it made me really confused.
Could you guys suggest any stable and fast option for my Galaxy S i9000?
Also, if you could guide how I could migrate to that particular ROM from present Gingerbread, it would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance for your support and for this great forum.
Cheers

Could anyone please help?

Hi,I'm not going to be much help as I'm a noob myself but I can say I had same stock laggy gt 19000 which through like u said a lot of confusion about rooting and ROMs researching XDA and YouTube you can do it my galaxy s is like a new phone so stick with it,one tip is always stick to you model and kernel version and write things down and I hope it goes as well as it did for me. Btw I used Odin 3.1 and clockwork to root and Flashed ROM with Cm 10.1 stable.

if you want to stay to 2.3.6 you can just factory reset your phone
Try this
Shut your Android Galaxy S down (Power off) or remove Battery.
Now press Volume up, Home and Power together.
If the Samsung Symbol is coming up leave the Home Button.
Then there is a boot Menu
Volume Up and Down to Navigate , Home to select the chosen option. ( factory reset )

if you want to upgrade to ICS or JB rom
root your firmware , choose the right cf-root from this thread

Thank you mistrp74 and The Tox for the help.
I am still a bit confused, I cant seem to locate the right cf-root [Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU)] from the thread you mentioned.
One more thing, how is your experience of running the Custom Roms, is it much better than the Samsung Firmware? Does all the function work fine?
I will need a bit of spoon feeding in the beginning for the update... as I have never tried it before and I am scared of bricking my phone.
So, please don't give up on me

The right CF-Root is in the seond to last post on the first page I believe- if you can fnd the one for XXJW4, the one you need is right above it
Custom ICS/JB roms are definitely smoother in many ways, although bear in mind because stock Jelly Bean don't include them, both FM Radio and 3G video calling won't work by default (two features of stock roms, I guess AllShare is another if you use it like me). Otherwise every other function is stable and rock solid. Except for the CM10.2 builds, which are still in an initial stage, the JB roms here should have everything working fine.

Thanks a lot guys!
I finally managed to do it.
I installed the CF-Root without any problem but RemICS-UX v1.3.1 (Team Remics) didn't load. It was stuck at the boot screen.
I thought I bricked my phone... but then I installed Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU) using Odin and then installed plain vanilla ICS 4.0.3
Coming from Ginerbread 2.3.6 I find a lot of new things and the phone is also snappy and responsive... my old Galaxy S is acting almost like a new phone! So I am really happy.
Now that I am familiar with the process I am confident to tryout other ROMs...
I would like something simple, lightweight and fully-functional/bug-free.
So please let me know if there is any other better ROM I should try.
Thanks again guys!

Thanks!
Just one more question, what's your backup strategy that you guys use?
Or else it a lot of work to update each and every app... one by one... also what about the SMS, call log etc?

Because I'm a person who 1.) doesn't use too many apps and 2.) tries to be as economical as possible, I don't have a large amount to backup. My contacts and calendar are always through Google, and for SMS I use SMS Backup and Restore on Play Store. Call log I don't keep, because I'm not a person who really cares for call logs. I only have one other app, Colornote, and that's cloud-synced as well.
Everything else I need is in internal storage :3

More or less similar situation as TS
Hey guys,
Im in a more or less similar situation as the topic starter. My Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 has gotten slow and unresponsive with time.
I would like to update to a custom ROM, and got a little curious about the Slim Bean. But I feel a little unsure about how to proceed.
I'm currently running a custom Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM, my device is rooted. I flashed this ROM from the Froyo that came with the phone about 2 years ago. It's been so long since I flashed this, I need some directions, as Im afraid I will brick my device.
When I go to recovery mode I see it runs ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix.
Can I just put a Slim Bean 4.2 android version on my internal sd card and run "install zip from sdcard" in ClockwordMod? I would prefer to flash the latest stable version of Slim Bean, which would that be 4.2.2.build7-OFFICIAL?'
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Bootism

Best way to update from gb or even older to jb is imo the way over cyanogenmod.
Follow this tutorial for 10.1: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
And then you can upgrade via cwm to the very good slim bean.

Thanks for the answer!
I recall reading about lots of issues with the lagfix and flashing ROMs. My file storage system is in ext4 instead of standard rfs, I think I should somehow undo this if I recall correct. Is this true?

Do you have an option to unlagfix in recovery?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app

Yeah, I can choose "voodoo lagfix" in recovery.
It has the following options:
- disable lagfix
- enable lagfix (default)
- /system lagfix on (default)
- /system lagfix off
- debug off (default)
- debug on

Enter disable lagfix and reboot

Ok, so I got Cyanogenmod 10.1.0 running! so far so good

Good job. Now you can flash a zip in cwm.

Yeah, it's a whole new world opening up. Old phone runs relatively smooth, at least way better than before thanks for helping. I will stay on this Cyanogenmod for a bit and explore. Can I just flash in any of the ROMs as .zip in CWM later? I will look for a lightweight ROM for my old phone, any suggestions?

Xperia X8 wi-fi not working(JB Mini Project)

Hello guys,
I am brand new here,as after 3 years of owning a X8 i decided to jump to other ROM,because i was bored of the simple design of his menu and i was so frustrated to stay back with android market when my friends had messenger for facebook e.g.,i had to refresh again and again my opera..and much more apps and games i would like to play.So,i decided to start searching for new ROMs,and i found MIUI,but i wasnt able to find a stable version to dl for my phone.Then i found JB Mini Project,I succeeded on installing it on X8 but there is one thing that wont work in every version of JB i have tried!THE WI-FI!It is really frustrating for me!I am so begginner to those things,but i understand that its not only me that will have this problem and that developers might be working on it right now(I am 3D designer and i know about beta versions of things,even I have to release again and again my creation because of a bug),but i really hope someone had this problem too and found a fix on it..I tried a fix i found in forums with Titanium Backup,but nothing...
Anyone knows anything..just help me out with this.:crying:
Thanks in advance guys!:cyclops:

Patience my friend x)
What wifi problem do you have? Unable to detect Adhoc connection?
Have You tried this Kernel + Rom ? (All JB rom is unable to scan adhoc wifi. Except if you make changes to the source and compile it yourself)
If you want to surf the internet but with not using wifi and using a cable, This is a Post for you.

use back stock ROM (just kidding

Maybe the rom + kernel combination is wrong or the rom is just being buggy.
I just personally liked nAa's work because he release a stable version of every product.
If you want to change into the recommended rom that I just told you;
1. Flash the latest kernel (06)
2. Follow instruction on the kernel post. (/system wipe at recovery before flashing a rom & etc)
3. Flash the rom. Followed by the GAPPS
4. As it said, this is my recommendation steps. I do not guarantee your satisfactory
