Just to make sure.. - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is this the right dev section to root the galaxy tab GT-P1010 ?
Have been rooting phones ,and I know the models but Samsung is always confusing me with the model numbers.
This will be my first tablet rooting attempt.
So just wanna make sure if I'm on the right sections.
Thanks

Right section.
Unfortunately, there isn't that many devs supporting the P1010.
User base also quite small.
So you will find not much resources for P1010.
But no where else to go in xda for that.
Good luck.

Thanks, I just wanna root and put a better Rom. Not looking to do much. It's for my mom

[Q] any orphan tabs need a good home with a recognized developer?

If any one wants to donate a Tab I will be more than happy to develop a kernel for the users.

Anyone keen?
I believe it would be extremely advantages to have more developers working the tab. I have the utmost respect for the handful that seem to do the work of double their numbers but someone like Rodderik would not only bring himself to the party but there would undoubtedly be others that follow him.
I am between employment right now otherwise there would be one in the post on its way to him/her but I would be open to a small contribution if this could get momentum. Please only leave productive comments.. if its not something you're interested in seeing happen let the thread die a sinking death!

Ill donate towards a tab, depending on the Dev, but with cm7 almost perfect, and afterbridge doing his thing, is it really needed for another dev, I'd rather one good rom than have 50 crap ones like most the other sections, also this is in the wrong section.

I agree. CM7 is now flashable, Overcome is just fantastic and Honeycomb is soon available to everyone. IMHO, I can't see how the development could benefit from another Tab. Unless Overcome gets ported for CDMA users..

Maybe if the dev ported over a miui rom, but even then most people are going to use cm7
I would definitely donate toward P1010 development. Not a whole tab of course, but something nonetheless.

What's so special about CM7? I know he does work for most phones? Or at least that rom is available for a number of phones. I'm guessing it's good because i've heard people speak so highly of it.
Also would it have any advantage over overcome's rom? And no disrespect to overcome because it's the first custom rom i've ever flashed and is the only reason I kept my tab. Love it.
Guessing i'm just asking if you or someone else could educate me on cm and specifically cm7.
I'm up with this thread, i cannot donate for a Tab but i'll send some beers to Rodd.
All devices get the best from the kernel, with a good one your tab will be always fine, it's not all about a Rom.
Have i t remember when we all got smartass/interactive governors fot our tab?
Now, you can say "i don't use smartass" or" my tab currently has not Ext4 because i don't need it", i say, why wasting your time to come here and say that we don't need another dev?
Just my 2cents of course.

You can NEVER have too many devs.

I'd sell my body to medical science and give the profit to the dev who would port it.
Well, either MIUI or HTC Sense. Those are the only things I miss from my Desire days.
CM7 is completely AOSP. Basically built from scratch for each major release (CM6 - CM7) then they add bacon Tablet tweeks, different lock screens, theme chooser, custom brightness ssettings and loads of other things.
I don't see it as an amazing rom, more like stock, with goodies. I've never understood why people praise it all day. Its great yeah, but I don't see what's amazing about it. But Cyanogen is the Android custom roms/development forefather. He was one of the first to start it and hasn't stopped.

Id donate up to thirty bones for a Sprint CM7 rom. I'd give any spare cash for that.
How about a dev ports/creates the Trinity 14 kernal for the tab. Now that would be baaaadassss

The GT p1010 desperately needs developers!!

How come all the developers are focusing on the gsm and cdma models. Is there anyway to get a master thread focusing on the p1010 model. I think it is about time for the wifi only model to get roms or at least a overclocking mod. Im pretty sure i checked everywhere so if anyone knows about any GT roms for the wifi models i will greatly appreciate it.
+ 1 in here.
For those student with limited budget. P1010 is a great device for those who arent rich~
Perhaps the real solutions would be a separate subforum for the p1010, so its impossible to ignore?
+1 here.
GALAXY TAB P1010 OWNERS UNITE!
CALLING ALL GALAXY TAB DEVS, PLEASE HELP US OUT, just 1 port from the gt p1000 to take us away from stock nastiness! PLEASE HELP!

You have my sword.
Samsung pretty much abandoned the PT1010. The looming GTab7+ puts another nail in the coffin for this model.
The Devs are our last hope.
even my old htc magic got gingerbread already
+1
Please tell us what you need to start developing. I mean Cyanogen even works for Samsung...
P1010 model employs different hardware, hence different drivers... If someone were to donate a p1010 device to the devs there would be more chance of rom developement however most of the devs have the p1000. This is why there are a heap of p1000 GSM roms,not so many CDMA roms & no real developement of wireless only roms...
Sorry, but the rule is supply and demand - there are a heap of p1000 users and not enough p1010 users. Most devs got a tab right off the bat so the p1010 users have no devs available...
Donate??

By donating, do you mean that I need to physically give it to a dev, or can I allow it to be used for testing while still keeping it with myself.
If it means i need to give it physically, then I need to know if there are any devs around New Delhi, India. I would be willing to buy a new one and lend it, or do the testing myself.
I am not an engineer, but I was able to root my I9000 using Heimdall and install MIUI on the same. I think I will be able to test as well.

I may be pulling a dead thread but there is someone working on CWM and CM7, then Cm9 I believe, in the development section. Name is motafoca and he already has working CWM and almost finished CM7. There's still one dev who cares about us!

[Q] Recommend this phone?

would you guys recommend buying this phone as a secondary device(at this time) ... just to learn more about android development and such??
or is the htc inspire 4g or nexus s better?
imho, the captivate is a great choice. I have a friend who had a nexus s, and my brother had the htc, after owning a cappy.
on comparing experience for purposes of rooting, customization, development history and unbricking solutions, the captivate is best.
you may want to ask the same question in nexus s q/a forum. I personally put HTC inspire 4G last - my brother totally bricked his.

thank you so much!!! that was reallyy helpful!!! ...
Personally, I'd love to get my hands on a Nexus S. Only because the dev on it seems to still be pretty active, such as the port for Ubuntu Touch, etc. But, other than that, the cappy community is awesome .

I saw, but still need to order a new cappy
It's a good choice. At this point it's relatively inexpensive and you won't feel too bad if you brick it. A new nexus would probably make me cry.
Plus it's age means that everything is pretty well out there by this point if you need reference.

I know I am new here and have been asking a question for a couple of days now and I would think with this many members at least someone would step up to the plate an offer some help or tell me where to go for being a newbie. Come on now I sure could use some help here. Please?
It would be a lot more productive if you actually posted what you needed help with...

Thanks for the reply. I have for the past 2 days in a row. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini SM-G730A with a locked bootloader that I need to figure out how to get unlocked so I can change carrier on. I love the phone and want to keep it but my patience has all but worn thin on. I have tried just about everything I can find out on the internet on and nothing has worked so far.

If you searched through some of the threads regarding the SM--G730A you would've learned that it's bootloader is not unlocked yet, and there exists no way to unlock it as of yet. I don't think any active developers have that phone either, and to my knowledge only a recovery has been built for the phone (but you can't flash it because of the locked bootloader), only root has been achieved for your phone.
The phone you have isn't the S3 Mini here (the S3 mini here is the GT-I8190), Samsung's naming conventions are really stupid at times - your phone and the GT-I8190 have nothing in common outside of it's name. I think the GT-I8190 was marketed heavily overseas in Europe and such, whereas your model's only available in the States and Canada.

Just a tip - search through xda to see if there's any active development on your phone, it'll save you a crapload of trouble, and I'd also avoid verizon and at&t phones in general because of their tendency to lock boot-loaders, I notice the google play edition of phones and the t-mobile versions tend to have unlocked boot-loaders and have better support.
Oh and google's dropped the price on the Nexus 5, about $320 usd for the 16gb, if you're interested and have the money.
Thanks Again

Dev related question.

Hey devs and gals... I feel like i'm new with HTC again since I've been a Samsung user for the last few years. Yet I decided to get an M8 and Sprint gave me a good deal with HKE...
So me having experience with rom and theming development for GSM Samsung phones yet I feel like a totally noob here with HTC and specially with it being CDMA network...
I did a lot of roms porting back in the day for Samsung phones too.. Again I would like to ask devs if they won't mind add me to their team or individual dev to help me out on refreshing my mind about how things work for HTC and CDMA network so I/we can start rom development.
101 views and no answer? Are y'all not interested?
Sorry I'm not a dev but thanks for offering your help

I do this for fun.. However when I used to be a Samsung user devs seems more friendly, we were like a big forum family lol.
We would help each other out.. It was not like who did it first or to each its own.
Maybe that is why this forum is like dead pretty much. There is no lots of devs an they dont seem to care or help anyone else.
If this was like on Samsung forum we would have a SENSE/LP rom up and running a long time ago.
I'm personally trying to get it to work for me. But being new to CDMA I have no idea how it works. But will get there eventually.
What exactly are you trying to figure out? You seemed a bit general in the post [emoji14]

All the devs that I'm in regular communication with are open to helping, but not giving hand outs, I was accepted by TensaiLabs based on what I was trying to do and the very specific questions that I asked. That being said I haven't dove into porting too much so I'm not much help but from what I know and what little help I was with the sense 6 port for the LTE you have to edit build.prop, change libs, and add in sprint files and boot.img
