Database Develop

So rooting and flashing roms on sprint tab...

I have several smart phones and I have been able to root and flash roms now so far it seems like working on the tab is not as easy.... Is this true? im afraid of bricking it.... But is it worth rooting it?
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App

from what I can gather on these boards thus far is that we went with the wrong carrier (sprint) for the tab, since tmobile seems to have more development going for it, AND at this point I am not seeing much advantage to rooting anyways. Let me know if you digested the boards differently as this is the only thing that is stopping me from rooting as well

well its because sprint is cdma and tmobile is gms which is found everywhere in the world... i am still within 30 days so i could return it, and I am thinking about switching to tmo anyway maybe going with the streak 7 as it has the tegra 2 processor
Thanks for replying buddy.

Hey guys, this might help you. Did a quick video on it and tested it myself on a Sprint tab, worked fine

Those How To's are AWESOME! Thanks! NO ONE has broken it down for we (the sad and lonely) CDMA SGT owners...
The question remains, however: Is it worth it?
So far, my answer is hell to thuh naw... With so many reports of brickage, and so little dev work being done, keeping the CDMA SGT stock seems to be the only way to go. I received my Tab for Christmas from a gorgeous santa (who also recently gave me another gift, my daughter (haven't rooted that device yet, either)) against my suggestions to wait (to get me a Tab, not to have my daughter). A few short months later, here we are:
XOOM dominates, SGT 2 and 10.1 (along with TONS of other Tabs) are announced and with Samsung's reputation for damn near NEVER updating their device's OS' (KIES SUCKS!), I'm thinking the SGT will never see the light of Honeycomb, which really is the only worthwhile upgrade for the device. As other tabs gain popularity, the dev work for the SGT decreases, with more and more messages like "This is the last update to this ROM, as I just got a XOOM".
So here I sit, with an oversized phone that can't make calls, watching Tron Legacy over and over while flashin' anything and everything on my EVO, longing for a XOOM...
That being said, anyone HATE the XOOM, and wanna' trade for an SGT? The SGT RULES!

For god's sake STOP POSTING QUESTIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT FORUM. And search beofre posting. Thread reported.

thanks for the links, this makes a lot of sense to me, its just like flash an android phone. Thanks a bunch

so general question, when doing the custom recovery on the sprint tab, if samsung/sprint releases the upgrade to 2.4 / 3.0 (god willing), will that upgrade have any impact on the custom recovery, or are the mutually exclusive?

So far, this has been a bust for me since I've been completely incapable of syncing with Kies. I've searched and tried every possible solution I could find to no avail.

Dear dcogen,
I was able to verify that I have an adb connection, now when I downloaded the sprint kernel the file says flash_image_VZW_zImage.zip is this the correct one?
Also your guide says to install CWM for your tab version but I didnt find one for sprint, there are version for Verizon, ATT and TMO thats it.
I just dont want to end up with a brick
Thanks for your help

can we use roms from other models if we find a way to not flash the wrong modem as part of the process?

+ 1 for working roms for sprint?
Help wanted!
Ice cream/beer money on me!!

+2 i want a sprint tab rom to use it on cricket and enable the phone portion.
It's the phone portion I need to figure out.

I rooted but not sure why no real reason to on a sprint tab to root cant find any wireless tether apps that will work

i rooted to get rid of some sprint crap bloatware

On the Sprint SGT you need to use New PC Studio instead of Kies. Follow the instruction exactly, but replace with NPC. Worked like a charm!

Pardon me for coming late to the party. Have been trying to root my Sprint (CDMA) tab for months. All fail for one reason or another (Z4Root doesn't work, Kies doesn't work on my Win 7 PC, SuperOneClick comes up as a virus and requires the use of Kies, PCStudio can be downloaded from a site that Firefox says is untrustworthy). I've spent endless hours reading msg boards and how-tos. i'm a resonably savy computer user. Is there a set of intnructions to root a Sprint-branded Tab anywhere???

[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.

[Q] Which phone to buy? 9000 or 9001?

Hello to everyone, I've recently started searching to buy a new phone and I saw Galaxy S and Galaxy S Plus. I saw that GS+ is 40% faster than the original one but I also heard that the GS consumes less RAM and that the GS+ lags a lot more.
Also, I saw that 9000 has a wider community and support and that it even has more payable games from gameloft than the 9001!
And so, I'm a bit confused, that's why I'm asking for advice. Thanks a lot in advance!

hi,
it really depends on whether we get ics ported for sgs+ or not.
if you just compare the hardware of both sgs+ will easily win, but the community is much bigger for sgs (we neither have any finished cm7 port nor ics, but both are maybe coming).

Thanks for your answer! I also happened to see people say that GS+ lags more than the original GS (both on GB) and people saying that it looks like samsung doesn't give much support to it, unlike the GS. That's what has been making me wonder.

If you are not planning to upgrade from stock rom(wich I dont advise) you should go with the SGS+.
Like annqx said there is a much better communitx for SGS, there are a lot more roms for it.

Sorry for my late reply, I had internet issues the whole week, anyway, I see, maybe then I'm going for the SGS+, since it's newer, I believe it will get more popular in the future. Thanks a lot for your answers!

Not sure it will get that much more popular. Remember galaxy s was top end phone at one point. Now replaced by s2, and soon s3. Just my opinion but could be wrong.

Well having used both phones and still using S version i would personaly say S as you already know about modding obviously being part of this community .
S+ is better on paper and thats what it only is , unless some drastic change in modding com and suddenly many devs appear for S+...
S with CM7/9 is just to good of phone ...

I'm satisfied with my S Plus. In my opinion it is a good fast phone
And not to forget, GPS is better in the S Plus, many people had problems on that with the SGS.

I9000 is better than I9001 because it have better dev support, better gpu and cpu .

Too bad... could you at least return to the original ROM (assuming you were using original stock ROM)?
If you could give us more details...

shame
i just purchased the t-499 myself and its a shame that such a new/great phone has so little support, ive looked all over google and only gotten mixed answers and dead end threads. icant even figure out if galaxy mini roms are cross compatible to the dart or not. its actually a good phone with a decent screen if u change the lcd_density to 100 the resolution is pretty decent.
if someone can help me a little it would be greatly appreciated, atleast point me in the right direction.

Not sure where else to post this, but can someone tell me if I can use a bootanimation.zip on the Samsung Dart? I've looked at a lot of threads on how to do this, used ROM toolbox to move files around, but haven't had any luck. I'd just like to know for sure so I don't drive myself crazy and waste more time!

On he stock Dart rom, no.
Samsung apparently uses some weird proprietary bootanimation format.
I am running the CM7 port in my sig from the MadTeam Forums and it of course uses bootanimation.zip's and I even have enabled boot sounds on it.
It's a good rom, couple of really minor bugs like button lights don't work and slow to wake on incoming calls, but overall quite stable.

Bummer....I guess I'll have to wait til I can upgrade to a new phone

they have make new rom for dart

How do you change the lcd_density to 100 in the stock ROM?

[Q] Porting Leaked Samsung Firmware N7100XXUEMI6

Hello everyone, a couple of days ago I saw the video for the leaked Samsung Firmware for the GT-N7100 Note II (N7100XXUEMI6). I quite liked what I saw, I think that its quite an improvement compare to what the GT-N7000 Note I has got so far.
So I bring this question to Devs here on XDA. Do you (Devs) think it would be posible to port this to the GT-N7000 Note I? Do you think it would run smoothly on our device? Would it work properlly?
Hope to hear (read) your thoughts about it soon.
Best regards from Venezuela.
