sorry about these noob questions...but let start:
1. i got an att&t 8.9 3.2 honeycomb os. what is the latest os (official or unofficial) out there now that works smoothly with my device meaning everything works, front and back camera, sound etc. links would be great.
2. i'm getting ipc communication popup error every once in awhile. what does this error mean? how do i get rid of this error. i assume if i update to latest os, the error will be gone? btw, i dont have a sim card inserted in my device, so i don't really know if its matter?
3. my device sometime auto dim. how do i turn off auto dim if i want it to stop?
4. how do i get kies? do i install it on both my device and pc? if on my pc, where is the install file?
thx in advance.

Not familiar with your device but I'll give it a try anyway.
3: Press the time in lower right corner and then set a fixed brightness.
4: Kies for windows is avalable on Samsung webpage. Search for your device on support and then select software.
Kies for wifi is awailable on google play and is only needed if you want to syncronize over the air.
Did a search for ROM's but just came up with a custom here on xda. Hopefully someone else will help you.

i did a search on android market for kies and all it came up was kies air from samsung. it is basically for sharing files between your tab 8.9 device with any devices on your wifi network. is that it? if yes, i thought kies allow you to update your os to the latest os if there are any from samsung via wifi. if no, where is the actual kies on android market? thx in advance.

Kies air (app) is for syncronizing your tab (files/contacts/music...) by wifi via Kies installed in your computer. It's not a wifi sharing tool.
Kies for PC is downloaded from Samsung webpage to your computer, not on to yor tab via market
If you install Kies in your computer and then plugin your tab (via cable) to it you can update the tab's system aswell as syncronize files (faster than wifi)
I dont think it's possible to update system via Kies air.
The official ics works great. Cm9 also has everything working. If i were u i would stick to the official ics.

I suspect your tab isn't rooted. Then you should download Kies.
Go to the Samsung webpage, select support and then manuals and downloads.
Choose your device (you can choose the 7310, it makes no differens when downloading Kies)
When Kies is installed just plug in your tab and choose "update firmware"
Look for my post about flashing the us version o your P7310. If cant find out i'll help u.

And here's the link to the ODIN ICS http://www.hotfile.com/dl/169458139/5cca4ab/P7310UELPB_P7310XARLPB_XAR.zip.html
A step by step guide for odin you'll find in the 7310 development department. Good luck
So for a beginner, which one is easier for me to do? Go to samsung website download kies and update my firmware to ics or do odin?
Also I read on some threads after some ppl upgrading their os, they had charging problem. What kind of problems are these and what are the steps to take to get rid of these problems? What do you need to do before you upgrade your os?
Thx in advance.

The charging problem relates to people who updated their P73x0 with an image ported from the Tab 10.1.
I am not sure which Tab you have. Is it an 8.9 3G or an 8.9 LTE?
If it's an 8.9 3G model, and you don't mind not having support for a SIM card, then the modded / rooted image from the 7310 will work for you. If you ahve the LTE version then this image is definitely not suited for your device. So be careful!
I have a 3G model myself, currently without sim card. I decided not to wait anymore and flashed the modified 7310 ICS image onto it. I am completely happy. Everything works, except the sim card (because the image is for the wifi-only tab) and it is a lot smoother and faster than the honeycomb image.
Image is found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1858251
You'll need to root your device and flash CWM. All is explained in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406137

This is based on the assumption that your'e not rooted and using a stock ROM.
The easiest way is to update via Kies:
No need for root
Coming from stock ROM most apps will continue to work
You wont void warranty
No special effort required from you
The battery issues some have had is best avoided by upgrading with a full battery (no garanties though)
I did my upgrade via CWM. I did a full wipe and then formatted system, cache and data folders before updating (all apps and settings are lost)
I haven't had any problem, actually my tab has better stamina now.

not sure but as far as I understood from reading elsewhere, the AT&T tab is an LTE version, with wholly different hardware. if so, stay away from Odin flashing p7300/7310 ROMs !
Yes in the back of my 8.9. It does say 4g lte. So I guess I got the lte version. If I got the lte version, I guess none official ics update yet? If not, are there any unofficial version of it anywhere? If yes, is the unofficial bug free and can someone provide a direct link plz? Tia.

That's right. Besides, the Rom for the LTE are all Honeycomb so there's nothing to gain.
Kies works just like ota updates. Samsung is responsible for them.
Odin you are the one responsible and u must do all the work.
I did it by odin.

A bit more zippy than the stock ROM due to the reasons listed on that thread. Otherwise, it's Samsung's honeycomb image.
Yes, android native tethering, both WiFi and USB, is enabled.
If you still think it's slow, get a new launcher, twlauncher (touchwiz) is kind of a beast...
You can overclock it to 1.7ghz or so and it'll still be reliable, at least that's my experience.
The ATT ICS ROM is in test with the carrier. It'll probably be out in a month or two. Samsung should also release the ICS kernel source around then, after which you'll likely see some custom ICS images -- Nobody wants to bother making custom HC images OR trying to get an ICS kernel working on this device before Samsung releases a proper one -- Several have tried and found it quite a task.

i rather not go thru all the hassle just for honeycomb mods.
but something does seems to interest me. it said about overclock to 1.7 ghz. how do i find out on my current 8.9 how many ghz is it running right now. and how do i overclock to 1.7 ghz? i assume you need to get some kinda apps from android market? if so what apps is it and is it free?
and what is touchwiz (twlauncher)? where can i get it? is it on the android market also?
thx for everyone help.

If you're ready to move from Stock to ROM and you're looking for a ROM with Arabic full support then I advise you to go for the OVERCOME with its last release ICARUS.

For rooting, you'll find on the install guide the link to the rooting thread. After rooting, you should select the full wipe option.

I'm not at the point where I want to run custom roms. Last I checked, you lose 3g capabilities - IE you have 3g data but 2g phone or no phone at all. Or, you have 3g phone but no data capability. Unless that's changed, I supposed I'll wait a lil longer for the update from Kies

I bought my SGT1000/3G last March and since I flashed the custom ROM on the beginning of June, I felt like I got a newnew Tab. On top of this we're enjoying a new update every 2 to 3 weeks. Any update from SAMSUNG take several months to come. Also my Tab is working fine and enjoying features that are not available on the stock ROM.
If I have any issue I'll never defend such choice.

Hi! Thanks for the reply and the suggestion is actually appreciated. I have been reading that thread for a few days now (not continuously, though) but I believe I am not yet ready for that at this time.
Eventually, I will update / upgrade into that ROM / kernel.
i picked up a used first generation(7" SCH-I800) VZW Galaxy Tab on Craigslist a couple weeks ago and have had a series of problems while trying to root it or even connect it to my computer.
im looking for Verizon specific instructions if anyone can make that happen.
i have a Windows 7 64bit PC and every time i try to install the drivers it fails. i do NOT have the Kies option in the USB connect menu in settings, only Media Play and Mass Storage. i downloaded Kies from Samsung website and installed it, and again the driver failed to install properly.
i know theres a bunch of people out there with rooted/rom'd Verizon branded Tabs. i'd love to figure out how you guys are doing it.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
nothing? nobody here has a rooted Verizon Tab?
I've got the same tab. Been trying to root it for weeks. Z4 wont work, superoneclick hangs and the tab turns off but only goes into standby and doesnt really get rooted. I would deff make a donation to anyone who can help, I cant wait to get rid of all the verizon bloatware on this thing!

Each ROM is customised differently with different features. Basically stay stock if you do not know what features you want.
DO NOT flash a any ROM until you have backed up your EFS folder (google hint = IMEI).
If you ask what is your EFS folder you are not ready for a non stock ROM.
On most proper instructions for flashing a rom, EFS backup step is compulsory.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
If you really need a reason to stay on stock:
1. You need to get used to the phone.
2. You never flashed SGS until now.
3. You have not read anything the other forum colleagues gave you.
4. You did not even tried to search the forums before posting this.
5. You might brick the device and then get back here and complain.
Need more? Sorry, but before posting you, and others that want everything on a plate, should use search and read everything posted here.
The "Galaxy S I9000 General" section clearly says: Discussion about the Samsung Galaxy S I9000 (tips & tricks, etc)
Every custom rom has a "How To" section in the OP. Also, every rom has a "What to do in case of" section. So you can try it on your own. There were cases in which the owner hardbricked the device in the first 45 minutes after he received it. So be careful.
i don't know what EFS even mean.
i'm just lazy to read all of it and there's not much i can understand.
so maybe you're all right that i stay with the stock firmware.
my phone still hasn't arrived, i'll just post here again what firmware it has and how should i update it.
btw, one more thing, so custom ROM's acts like a customized Android firmware, is that right?
and thanks for everyone who replies here and gives me their advices.

Again many this has been covered on many threads relating to flashing ICS ROMS in particular. Flashing can result in the IMEI number being over written Your IMEI is stored encripted in a file contained in the EFS folder (IMEI = unique number that identifies your handset on the mobile networks) and then not being able to make or recieve phone calls in extreme examples to random apps downloading from google play or not able to access google play at all.
For more info on this i strongly suggest that you google "backing up EFS folder" and "backing up IMEI"

but there's a custom ROM that has been leaked that looks like Android 4 (ICS).
will there be a Android 2.4?
i never knew that Android needs a lot of work compared to iOS where it just needs to be jailbreak for you to have the freebies and to be open source.
Iphones run on a common HARDWARE
Android have many different versions of hardware ie Samsung, HTC etc etc etc
Each android phone requires the base code of Android to be customised with device specific drivers etc hence the difference between Android and Iphones.
Your wording is exactly that "CUSTOM" meaning not a Samsung ROM.
As stated before Samsungs stance with the SGS 1 is that they will not release ICS for the handset as there is not enough available RAM (memory) for ICS and their Touchwiz apps
i think i want to install a ROM if i get my Galaxy S by tomorrow.
which one is much better?
CyanogenMOD or DarkyROM?
is this link below the instructions on how to root my phone?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7152078&postcount=2
should i root my phone first?
or should i already go with the install of CyanogenMOD or DarkyROM?
how do i even know if my phone has already been rooted?
I updated the 1st post with more details.
i have my phone, its model is SGS I9003.
too bad Lexrsk can't help me further but i hope someone can guide me in rooting my phone.
please look the updated details on the 1st post.
can i even do the rooting on my phone?
Hey guys I just bought a sprint galaxy tab of craigslist today in perfect condition but it is rooted and its on froyo 2.2. Im getting really confused in what sections and all and thread to find a unroot method. Im fine with rooting my phone but this is my first tablet and I want it updated to GB but when I go to the settings it says its updated
Which model you got?
Why do you want to UNroot?
Just go to Overcome thread, download guide/roms, flash your device and will have GB.
Then if you wish you can flash CM9 and have ICS/Tablet optimized OS.

I got SPH-P100 DJ30. I want to unroot to get the OTA since im on 2.2. Flashing a rom will work to, a stock rom which you are able to get a OTA. I just got it and not sure if it has CWM on it or not. Im not real fimilar with Samsung rooting techniques as most of my phones have been HTC. I have a stock rom downloaded ready to go, the only thing is im not at home and our wifi is out so im at a friends house and need to get to odin to flash the rom. I have odin on my computer at home as I have done it before, but im going brain dead and cant for the life of me figure out the site or download wise how to get the odin root program
removed
Edit: sorry, missed the CDMA part, please don't use my earlier info, as this is GSM only!

DO NOT install OVERCOME rom or ICS for P1000. You will break yout G-tab!!!
You own a CDMA. and the above instructions are all for GSM. I hope I am not too late.
No not to late. Thanks guys. Im just using it for wifi so I don't need the free wireless tether one of the things with rooting. I just wanna get off this old 2.2 and just found the galaxy tab series kinda confusing. I did my epic touch fine, but with Verizona and Sprints, only wifi versions all of it is getting me frustrated ha but thanks again guys

Didn't want to leave it like this... Perhaps this can help you, but please make very sure that this is exactly the same version:
www thegalaxytabforum com /index.php? /topic /4653-sprint-tab-soft-bricked/ page__st__20
Looks like a solution, but perhaps you've already seen this... Please note that you have to insert the dots and remove the spaces on the above link.
Good luck

if what you want is to get rid of froyo, why don't you try to flash this GB2.3.4 rooted for sprint. You need to learn how to use odin though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161033
or take a look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341666
follow the instructions carefully, and DO NOT do this if you are not ready to break your tab.
Ya I have used Odin before for my S2. My tab is working just fine, but it's just the OS is older and some apps wont work on it. And to top things off we changed internet companys so it won't be till Friday unless we head to my parents to use their internet. But when I connect my tablet to the computer earlier I had Odin up, should it have recognized what was plugged in and in the header should it have said the tablet information? It still had EL29 from my S2 a few months ago when I had it and rooted it but nothing changed.

THat's strange but should be ok. I think you have odin 1.7 instead of 1.83.
Odin may not recognize your tab if you did not check "USB Debugging" mode.
It should recognize your tab as an android device right away if you already check USB Debugging mode.
But if you follow the second link, it will unroot your tab back to 2.2 unrooted stock -- using heimdell.

There is a thread for the international version but what you need to do is get an apk that changes your "custom" status to "official" then you will be able check for updates. I do believe this thread will get you started. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383484
If you have deleted any apks then it may mess up any updates you take. Or go to sammobile and look for 4.4 firmware for your phone and use Kies to install.
The 9005 can receive it's latest update thru kies, or by going into the settings menu, tap general tab, and scroll down to about device, then system update.
I have only change the md5 file with kies not the rom....I wanted to make the phone rooted not to change the official rom...can I correct this problem with my updates without change the official rom from my phone??? Or is there any app to do that???

I am not sure I understand what you are trying to do.
Are you trying to gain root?
Are you trying to upgrade your firmware on your phone?
Are you trying to change something else on your phone?

I have rooted my phone but I want also to install the 4.4 android version...but when I try to search for software update the phone tells me that because I have done changes to the phone(root procedure) I can't search for any new software updates...I have seen a video from youtube.com that I can install a new Android version without change my phone(root or no root there isn't a difference)I ask if I can do that...and where I can find this kit kat version to download it....

I see.
The other reply that I made with the link in it. Follow that link and install what it tells you to install.
After you install it you can make you phone show an "official" status which will allow you to check for updates.
I do not know where the guy in the YouTube video got his firmware.
There is firmware available for the SM-9005 at www.sammobile.com but they seem to be country and carrier specific, I do not know as I do not have that phone.
You may be better off getting instructions in this section of XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3?nocache=1&z=7992070960968063
Good luck and be careful not to brick your phone.

You will probably lose root. It will not reset Knox to 0×0.

Sir I think you're looking for opinions on what to do and that's not what xda is here for. You're not even in the right sub forum for your device. We can talk forever about the pros and cons of custom roms over official releases. If you're worried one bit about knox counter, then do the official release. If you're comfortable with modifying your device and you can follow directions, I recommend you focus all your attention to this sub forum for your device here! The omegadroid link you attached can be found here on xda! I highly suggest you read through the 3000+ posts that users like you made. That might make up your mind for you.
