Gingerbread differences

I upgraded to gingerbread but dont notice some of the gui visual differences. Anyone else notice this too?

Theres not much changed in the graphics itself. More underlying stuff has been changed.
For me the most important things are greatly improved battery life and properly working gps (quick fix). There are others reporting faster and more responsive overall user experience.
Its really worth to upgrade to 2.3

Search tab forumn gingerbread has ALOT of bugs. Threads and threads with pages and pages.
Wait till oc/uv and a more stable kernel. Current kernel is a mix between tab software with a sgs driver. Because samsung hasnt released source code yet. Gingerbread isnt officially out in the us or most of the world for the tab.
An interesting note on gingerbread. Drop your lcd density to 165 and some stock icons upgrade to a totally different icon. Example is phoneicon.

If you want to change the GUI of your Tab, I suggest that you try out some launcher apps. LauncherPro for example, you can easily change how the homescreen looks.
Or if your open to custom ROM's, I suggest that you keep a close eye to the development of Overcome ROM. They are beginning to customize the GUI of the ROM, as well as optimization tweaks for the whole device.

Thanks for all of your answers

Stock ics apps

Help people from everywhere I'd would like to know if there is any way to port ics apps from galaxy s 2 to any Rom.
I read that some apps are dependent from the Touch wiz in each case (1,2, nature )
if there's the possibility please tell me how! I really love stock apps abduction of course I use them !....
What if we make a rom with touch wiz 4 and the original apps but I has to look like the galaxy s 2 Rom.... I mean that the Rom that Samsung didn't make ... I mean that how it should be as Samsung knowledge and the original ui answer setting and the other apps

I think I remember that someone wrote that for example Gmail on GB will always look like GB.
I think the only way to get ICS gapps is to flash an ICS.

Port of galaxy tab ROM?

Is this possible? Not stock based ROM with some themes and tweaks but a full out port of a tab2 7".

sure, if youre willing to work at it. but chances are it wont run perfectly. why would you want to downgrade your nexus 7 anyways?

Is there something about the Tab's version of Android that makes you want it over Google's? If it is something specific to the Tab from Samsung and not just an app the likelihood is it won't run right on the Nexus.

I had the chance to get a tab and I wanna see what the tab was like.

Might try a touchwiz rom, I think that the tabs are over rated.

Touchwiz rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038920&highlight=touchwiz

I know of the ROM with the launcher but it doesn't have all the features the tab has to offer. (Not trying to say the tab is better than the nexus because the nexus 7 is amazing)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Part of what makes the N7 so much better than the Tab is that it has much better hardware and specs. Running the Tab's version of Android on the N7 (assuming you could) wouldn't tell you much about the Tab in terms of performance. It would be a useless comparison in that regard.

The only thing I would want to see from the tab 2 7inch is the tab ui launcher from its ics Rom, I always see the other launcher from jb ported but never the one that has tab ui

I see threads like this in the forums of every device I've owned (and that's a few).
People want HTC sense on their Samsung's, Touchwiz on their HTC, or some other combination.
The only device I've ever seen it pulled off successfully was HTC sense on the nexus one and only because the HTC desire had identical internal hardware.
It's just way too much work as overlays like Sense, Touchwiz, and Motoblur are closed source. It's possible to reverse engineer them and get them working on different hardware but it's a huge amount of labour and the results would be poorly optimized and not very much fun to use if someone even did manage it.
Some people with tabs go to great effort to run pure Google on them and you have that out of the box so be grateful for what you have. The grass is always greener on the other side.

Kind of agree however not bad having them grouped by their OS either so it's easy for noobs. Plus some of these I forgot about since they don't get much activity.

yea thats why i said i like this one the most of the 3 we have

Why dont i suggest for aokp 4.1.2 add the version from theAPANT. Its completed and more active with all due respect to irx buil.

I can see there is some discord regarding this thread... As someone who has been away for a few/several months largely working with a Galaxy Nexus, I'd like to say I found the organization of this extremely helpful.
while for ages the Exhibit had one or two circa "peach sunrise" now there are so many other threads under the heading
Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G > Galaxy Exhibit 4G Android Development
I can appreciate the nature of this community isn't to spoon feed noobs and those that done't want to do some reading - but when there are soo many projects, many of whom claim in the OP that "everything works" - only to dig in and install to face issues with BT or GPS or etc....???
A master thread with some grid / chart / color coding / a brief overview of projects / or indication of what some safe best bets would be could be most helpful. The arrangement of this thread in particular really brought to light what was happening here as far as what may be most current. I'm thankful for it at a level more advanced people who are here all the time probably don't appreciate.
When there is just sooooo much stuff sometimes it's hard to know where to start. Took me three tries to get something going that actually worked on all the fronts I needed it to. Ended up with the AOIP, which seems an hour or so in to be working beautifully - and thinking I should've tried baked bean too. Slim Bean was a disaster with Bluetooth, otherwise fantastic... but for now I'm very grateful and sticking with something that seems to work at the moment.
Even if this thread is closed - it could/may be a good model for a chart/grid of info to have down the road in others
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ohh: and if I could make a suggestion for the OP - put a link to the Jocala thread with the original community ROM and/or the original ROM, at the top, then name the first segment Gingerbread Customs - it keeps the flow of the rest of the chart as the base is the key...this is quite a little nit picking fuss buckety observation...THANK YOU ALL

Kernel for any custom rom?
Does those kernels compatible with the linaro cm10.1 jellybean 4.2.2?

4.3 Alpha2 Aoip recommend
I would like to recommend Android 4.3 to the list, its on this thread (link below) under the downloads section, click the button to see more info/links. Included in that same section is 4.3 GAPPS. By the Insomnia Team.
I am in no way affiliated with them, just trying to recommend an addition to this page, try not to be too harsh on me for trying to be helpful, thanks

[Q] core appliations from jb to work on ICS

Does anyone knows if some core applications, like camera, keyboard or other will work on ICS, if taken from an JBH ROM?
Is there a way to find any ported roms?
Thank oyu in advance and sorry if this has already been asked

There are flashable zips for some of them, but whether the rest will work or not, no idea. There are quite a few differences between ICS and JB so some apps may not be compatible. What are you looking to use?
