Hello.
Does anyone know where i can download Honeycomb for the Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000? it doesn't matter if there is no phone or 3G on it.
Thanks!
No Honeycomb for SGT7 I'm afraid...
There was an unnoficial port being worked on but development has been stopped since ICS came out.
There's an ICS (CM9) build on the development forums, that isn't recommended for people that are new to the whole flashing scene since it is still in development and has a few bugs (camera doesn't work for example). This is your best bet for tablet UI on SGT7. There's also icedBoca by Dizgustipated which is his own version of CM9, also has bugs and still in development. Do NOT flash these ROMS if you don't know what you're doing and if you will be annoyed by a few bugs.

Actually, although it was never completed, as Stilm said, I did play with it for a couple of weeks and found it mostly usable...

I would strongly recommend going for an ICS build when they're ready though, but just not yet. Development will obviously be an ongoing thing for the ICS builds but it does look like HC development has stopped.

Hey guys, been out of the loop for a while as I've been settled on JPY for a few weeks now. However, I saw a friend flash his Desire today with Oxygen, a gingerbread-based AOSP ROM. All the SGS ROMs I can find so far are based on the stock Samsung firmware - is there any work being done on a full AOSP ROM like Oxygen or Cyanogen? I can't find any details about this anywhere.
I am very curious about this question. Because if answer is simply no, it's time to sell Galaxy S. Gingerbread will be the last update from Samsung and AOSP could be the future of this phone then CM7 for SGS seems to have big problems and it's the only AOSP ROM for SGS which I'm aware of...
What big problems?
I'm using CM7 for a month right now and it's pretty stable if i can say. Yes, it lacks some features and some bugs are not fixed yet (theres a workaround tho), but if you follow it's thread the progress they make are great. They're already into mainline, so probably it will reach RC status in a month/maybe less, who knows.
After the devs are done, i think there will be a custom ROM based on CM7/AOSP.

CM7 is getting there. And with Gingerbread coming out, that should make things easier for the dev.
Yes, but with no source then there is nothing big. GB leak, only helped them with "less" important stuff (FM radio, etc.)

Hello everyone,
I was just curious how all these gingerbread ROMs for the Captivate are being released, and Cyanogen 2.3 for the Capitivate, having been worked on for months, is still only in pre-beta. I am not trying to be impatient, I know the devs are working hard to get cyanogen out ASAP, I was just curious why this was.
Thank you.

simply put CM7 is being written and developed from "scratch" and the jvb jvh roms are ported.
Not to mention that the CM7 for captivate is running 2.3.4 so technically "we're" behind CM7

Not for long Most of the Devs are already working on JVH
AOSP is the way to go in the long run as more Samsung drivers get ported over. 2.4.x will probably never be ported to the Galaxy S phones by Samsung, but unless there are major kernel changes, upgrading CyanogenMod to 2.4 will happen relatively quickly.

I see, so once it is caught up with the other cyanogen supported phones, it will be on the same update cycle, and therefore be more sustainable when it comes to new releases of android?
Frankly cm7 is actually being developed, where as the other ginger bread releases are being cooked/tweaked. Samsung did 80% of the work then xcal kicked in the next 15%.
So to answer your question, the reason it is "behind" is because they are not using a pre optimized build, and they are developing from the ground up.

I am using Samsung Galaxy S android version 2.2, I want to update it to Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 or which ever is available. I read the instructions but I did not understand anything from it. I am doing it for the first time so I want to know step by step details or if there is any video. I also want to know few things
1- Will android market work
2- Will the phone have lags or speed get slower in the video it did not but I want to know.
3- Will I get all feature of Ice Cream Sandwich
4- In future if company releases 4.0 for galaxy s can I roll back the changes and turn it back to the original version which was there and if yes then how??
I have never tried such thing so I want to be sure before I do it. It looks pretty good in the video.
Firstly, welcome to xda. There currently isnt a proper samsung version of ICS for the galaxy s. What there is are several custom roms people have made based on ics, which if you read through their posts you will see that most of them still have issues and/or bugs. If you check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363593 these guys are getting closer every time to a full working version of ics for the galaxy s.
So, choices for you are wait until samsung release a full version of ics (which looks very doubtful) or flash the afore mentioned ics rom or flash a different rom that takes your fancy. Myself I am flicking between this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344489 (my current rom) and saurom.
Once you decided what you wanna do, then let us all know and we will guide you in the right direction.
My advice is to stay on samsung based ROMs for now. ICS ports are still alpha, although some people are using them for everyday. On the other hand, most GB XXJV? and XWJW1 roms are running quite fast on the Galaxy S. Coming from 2.2 you will see a big difference going into 2.3.6.
My personal choice is SURFACE v8 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155776) with the IceCreamS theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386990).
Good luck!
I would like to knw when the full working version of ICS is available so tht before I update I could assure myself being safe to update the phone. I am not waiting for Samsung update but I want a proper Rom which suits the phone
Samsung said it won't be releasing any official ICS on Galaxy S. So all ICS work is made by dev teams, using the ICS source code and ICS releases on similar hardware (Nexus S). Most (all?) ICS ROMs are based in teamhacksung ICS port. You can see them in the Development forum (OneCosmic, Surface v1, MyICS, ...)
Some devs will say that their roms are release-candidate, finished or even official, but be careful with this, the teamhacksung port is in alpha stage (build 11) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363593). Moreover, there is no public roadmap for an official version and the devs don't like to be asked on ETAs.
I suggest you to read that thread to see what is and is not working in each build. Also, you can get answers to most of your questions (except ETA) on the CM9 discussion thread in this forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1387937).

Given that you have no experience flashing custom ROMs, I would also have to suggest avoiding the alpha ICS builds right now. Things will probably go wrong, whether majorly or minorly, that you aren't accustomed to dealing with.
Wait until a stable version is available, or at the very least a beta. However, in the mean time, I would definitely recommend flashing to 2.3.6. As someone else already mentioned, it will be a nice upgrade over 2.2, and it's an easy way to learn the basics of flashing ROMs.
Good luck!
First get to Gingerbread and then go for ICS if you really want to.
Will CyanogenMod roms for the Galaxy Mini work with the Dart (t499)?
No. But in madteam forums there's a cyanogenmod development going on for the dart

CWM is fixed and working on this phone.
CyanogenMod 7.1 is mostly working, there is still a delay in the screen turning on with an incoming call, and the buttons at the bottom don't light up. But so far it is looking pretty good.
Also if you are planing on doing the network/sim unlock, it requires the original rom, so you might want to do that before switching to CM7.
Unfortunately the forums are down right now, but see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19936092&postcount=100
I am thinking about buying a dart soon and I want to make sure I got this all right. In order to flash CWM you need to flash the recovery madteam has made because it cannot be flashed through ROM manager? ALso after having CWM on the Dart, does a specific version of CM7 have to be flashed that was specifically made for the dart or can any Galaxy Mini rom be used?
continue developing
ive noticed that development seems to have dragged to a halt on the t499 and i was wondering if someone would be interested in making a project out of this, perhaps continue developing on the cm7 that has already be started, or the cm9 that the thread has been closed on, im not too experienced in development on android but id be willing to help any way possible
I was looking into Jelly Bean ROMs here, and I couldn't find anything that's working as I had hoped for.
Or I just didn't look through stuff on here in more detail.
So I was looking at some 'light' ROMs and found SlimBean, but it only seems to support i9000 (as listed here) whereas I'm running i9001.
Here comes the stupid question - would it work or not?
I kind of want to test that out, because the ROMs I used previously didn't have a working microphone (which I kind of needed for making calls) so I'm thinking this one would have a working one and would have a decent amount of Project Butter.
So anyway, what JB ROM would you recommend? It doesn't have to be 'slim', as long as most stuff works on it.
Hi,
most or nearly all roms wont work on your device. I found a nice JB Rom called Mackay Rom for my Samsung Galaxy S.
Its fast and stabil. If you find this Rom for your device, you could try it, he is updating this rom fast and the changes are nice.
Most JB Rom use CM10 as basis so the difference wont be that huge^^
None of the i9001 Jelly Bean ROMs are fully functional at the moment, as you have noticed. i9000 ROMs will not work on i9001, as it is a totally different phone. Only things we have similar is the screen, battery size and the form of the phone, CPU & GPU being different makes it impossible to use the same ROMs.
There is a lot of work to be done and a few talented people doing the work. Just keep on looking in the Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development, all progress will be posted in there. Pretty much the only JB rom we have is DoomNEXUS by Doomsday94.
There also is the I9001 Q&A section that these questions should be directed to.
Slim Bean Best one
