My tab has been working well on overcome for so long that I have stayed away from updating. Now I am starting to get some wifi issues and think it is time to upgrade to a new rom. Any recommendations and advice on which ROM is stable and providing the fewest issues? If there is a step by step guide that would be helpful. I have spent the majority of my time updating ROMS on my Sensation, running Venom and really enjoying it.
I just want to make sure I don't brick this tab by doing something wrong. I remember using odin in the past.
Thanks
john
sorry, running overcome 7 series v4.1.0
You only need Odin to return to stock or to achieve a clean stock state.
Using overcome means you have cwm recovery.
You can try anything from ICS to JB there are plenty.
I am on AOKP JB.
All are dead easy to flash from cwm.

thanks, running cm10 and very happy with the performance. It was much easier this time around.

Forgive me for a stupid question but I'm VERY new to this:
Because Touchwiz is so awful, and the original galaxy tab is being denied ICS by Samsung, I've been thinking about using a custom rom.
There's already a nice looking ICS port coming along.
However, being VERY new to the galaxy tab - I bought this one used, as a pure wifi device, though it HAS a sim slot, I want to know -- how can I restore the original OS if I have problems with a custom firmware?
I noted Kies will refuse to deal with a samsung tablet if it's not an official rom... or am I mistaken?
I'm on a NTT Dococmo SC-01C (original Galaxy Tab) with official 2.3 docomo firmware. this was an upgrade from the preinstalled 2.2
Thank you SO much for help in advance.
You can flash stock firmware using either heimdall or Odin
So yes you can always go back.

Would you recommend the ICS Alpha 3, or is there a better Honeycomb rom? I can't be sure which is which because it seems like every distro has its OWN version number which doesn't match the android release number... sigh
I don't have personal experience with the hc port from but its being released as an release candidate which means that it should work pretty OK but there are probably still quite a few bugs to squash. The ics alpha 3 from is what I've been testing recently. It is NOT feature complete and those features that ARE there are extremely buggy if you are curious to know what isn't working I suggest exploring the ics from dev thread. Most of the working/broken info is in the first post. More detailed info can be found by paging through. Its nowhere near ready for prime time as an every day rom. I'm just testing it because I'm a bleading edge kind of guy and wanted to check out responsiveness and the slick new UI. I will be switching my from back to a gb room sharpish. Please note that i,m not giving the project a bad review, contrarily its showing amazing progress and I'm sure within a few months that there will be a release candidate of either fully working ics aosp or cyanogen mod 9 which is an ics project for the tab that many of the pics aosp project members are contributing to right now.
For a self described noob I would suggest looking for the most stable well tested and fastest rooms you can find. My best recommendations would be overcome kratos (the latest version for the Sgt) or cyanogen mod 7. Both of which are based on gingerbread and both of which have been tested for long periods of time with awesome user feedback and work great without the bloat of all the Samsung apps and such

Thanks so much. I will try it right away. I hope it is compatible with sc-01c.
So today my little bro asked me to root his Note and flash CM9 on it, but I came to a halt when I found out his current firmware with which the phone was delivered is on the "not directly rootable" list, which I take it can only be rooted by flashing an older firmware?
The kernel seems to be the N7000XXLC1 while the phone is N7000XXLB2. It came delivered with a Telia (Swedish carrier) ROM.
Is there some other way to root this phone other than switching to an older firmware? Some exploit or something? I'd hate to accidentally brick his phone considering it's but a few days old. The way of helping him would be:
1. Install CWM
2. Root and/or install custom ROM
Does the N7000 have some sort of bootloader to unlock, or a fastboot mode? Is it easy to accidentally brick it? I mean a deeper brick than just a system brick? You'd have eternal gratitude if you could pinpoint me to an easy way of doing this or if you could compose an easy guide. Duly note I have checked the two guides here but the first one is a root option for ICS firmwares and the other one involves flashing an older firmware with ODIN, one thing I don't actually wanna do, just yet.
I myself use a Galaxy Nexus so things work out completely different on the two with the Nexus being more of a developer's phone. My bro hates Gingerbread by now and the lame Touchwiz UI.
Go to development subforum and read dr ketans guide.
The safest is to revert back to older roms and root if you need it. Avoid cwm in ICS if you can.
Read, read, and read some more.

I just want to get him CM9 in the easiest way possible. Why do you say I should avoid cwm in ICS?
There are many issues with bricking in ics kernels by doing factory restores or large data transfers.
To the best of my knowledge though, cm9 kernels are safe, as well as paranoid Android and a couple of others. There's a great thread about the dangers of ics somewhere.

Well his phone is currently running gingerbread and it looks like I'm gonna have to flash back to a rootable firmware. I managed to find a very easy to-do guide in my own language so now I think I'll manage it.
I'll install CM9 on his Note since I know he likes CM9 and the Cyanogenmod team is highly reliable. I'm not saying the other aren't, I'm merely saying that the ROMs by CM have always worked in some way.
Dear fellow xda'er,
I have a galaxy note n7000 running a Rocket v6 by eybee. I recall when I first bought the phone and flashing it to this ROM but am completely lost now as to to what to do install jelly bean (or ICS if thats what is recommended).
I have read Ketan's informative posts but am still confused especially with regards to cyanogenmod (actually with everything). I have no idea what version I have but am given to believe that I should be running version 10.
I know there is plenty of information out there with regards to installing ROMS and as such but I would be grateful if someone would point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Bhavik
First you decide what exactly you want to install
Jellybean OR Stock ICS
Then only can someone direct you the exact steps.
Thanks for replying doctorji.
What do you suggest? I would explect ICS to be more stable but if there are no significant issues with JB then I would just install that.
I have never flash any Custom ROM, so can't say about jellybean, but latest ICS DDLR9 i am using and i am satisfied completely.
Cool. I'll go with ICS then. I think i rooted with cf-root possibly before installing the custom rom. I dont suppose I need to re-root.
By the way, any suggestions with medical apps?

Better go clean install and reroot, that will give best performance.
Am using few medical app like medscape, Mims, anatomy, Medical dictionary, Medical doctor etc. I do prefer ebooks than medical application.

Hi there
I am fairly newish to rooting etc and have spent the last week trawling the P1000 forums to try and understand it all.
I would like to take my P1000 GSM TAB from my stock GB2.3.3 to JB4.x and from what i have seen although the CM9 is stable I am tempted to go for the CM10 nightly install. (Do they differ greatly? not sureeven after reading the forums)
I am not sure how much such an install would differ from the tweaked CM10 versions I also see on this dev forum from the likes of Erezax (Sapir), Cdesai and Alroger etc. Only in minor ways i suppose with the possibility of further undiscovered bugs.
So from what i can gather, the method would be similar to that laid down in the Overcome installation pdf.
My question though is do i need to go the whole hog and install the overcome kernal/rom prior to installing the CM10 or can i just go as far as installing the stock GBStockSafev5 (which i want to do just in case, even though i have a stock ver of GB already) and then do a wipe install of CM10?
I ask because i read that it was even safer to go from an overcome rom with GB to CM10, as opposed to going from stock GB to CM10. Is there any truth in this would u know.?
many thx in advance for any reply
best rgrds
Lawrence
No direct way from stock to cm10 because stock recovery doesn't flash non Samsung made zip.

Ok, so my P1000 (stock Gingerbread, bought SIM-freeon and currently on Vodafone UK) has become soooo slow over the past two years of ownership, and a minor water contact today forced a factory reset... So a clean JPZ based Tab to play with...
Been toying with the idea (in hope for better performance) to get a custom ROM from here, maybe one based on ICS (if the hardware can take it), but after a couple of days of reading through all the posts and threads, I confess I am at a complete loss: can anyone recommend a stable working ROM (even if essentially based on stock images) that could/should improve the tired tab's performance? Also, not clear: do most ROMs here come with rooting or do I then need to apply CFRoot separately? Lastly, at the time of my last post (way way back), Overcome ROMs seemed to be the way to go, but today their site is down?
Please be gentle, though I understand the basics, I am indeed a novice in this arena

Great, many thanks, downloading now... As a follow up, I understand this is their version of 2.3.6 (Gingerbread); don't want to be a , but was wondering if there's an ICS ROM out there for the P1000? Also, is overclocking possible on the Overcome ROM? (the idea is to try and get a device that actually runs better than stock GB, so not even sure if the hardware is up to speed with ICS)
Again, thanks and apologies for the q's, got more confused reading through the posts than I was before
There are AOSP based ICS/JB
Just look for them in dev section.
Either CM or AOKP.
You still need overcome kernel to have cwm first in order to flash them.
kernel, not ROM, OK?
Overcome should be overclockable.

There is a relly good CM10 (JB) ROM I'm using: sapir-rom.blogspot.com It's nightly, but it works perfectly for me with very good performance.
