For those new to flashing ICS, recommended read is my FAQ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895496
It's based on earlier ICS ROMs, for the WiFi and 10.1 models, and will be updated if these new ROM introduce new issues or behave differently
Edit: I made a CWM flashable zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050205
Finally.I'm downloading and will flash it soon.thanks..
Good, let us know if it wipes anything it shouldn't. Usually these odin ROMs don't (if you don't ask for it in Odin), but some do
Downloading now. I can't wait for the "When is Jelly Bean going to be released" threads to start popping up
I just bought P7300 yesterday, and this is good news
Anyone tried it yet?
is there any difference/improvement over tracid's rom ?
It seems more stable than Tracids, but generally about the same.
I'm happy so far, rooted with all the apps and fonts I want.
since noone tried it yet, I downloaded and tried it on my Asian GT-P7300 16GB ... and so far so good, seems snappier.
However Antutu Scores went down from 5693 to 5251 now
Attached is the screenshot. Time to sleep now.
i have made CWM version!

Sweet...Tnx!
1st went wrong
I tried to install but Odin froze and (later I discovered ) wiped SD card, luckily everything went well on 2º time.
By the way, the link for CWM recovery at the FAQ is broken, so I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312218
I bet battery life would be as bad as for us

I've just installed this onto my UK P7300. I used Odin to install it, and it worked like a charm. I only have two small issues:-
1. It kept all the apps I had running on the orginal Honeycomb OS, except it deleted the Memo app - rather annoying because I had made a few important notes for work which appear now to be lost. I did backup with Kies before I installed ICS, so perhaps I can find a text file somewhere on my PC...anyone know where to look?
2. There is a flickering screen when I have auto-rotate switched on, and also on google play - no big deal but annoying.
Update: I've installed Nova Launcher, and the screen flicker seems to have gone
- Much smoother than HOneycomb by the way! - I had been thinking of swapping for a Nexus7, but most of the lag has now gone... it's really quite noticeable
This thing will keep all downloaded apps, but as it replaces your system partition, it can remove apps that were previously part of the stock ROM in your region. I've noticed before that different regions can include slightly different vendor-provided apps.
update via kies stuck at 40% -> message: update not successful blah blah -> used the recover option in kies -> boot after finished -> works
seems to be more stable and responsive. missing the old widgets (clock and agenda) overall look and feel was imho more homogeneous in hc.
launcher is a way smoother but imho just because they changed implementation from scrolling background image to fixed.(i used "Simple Image Wallpaper" on hc for this with same effect)
ps: usb/sdcard adapter and keydock working

What was originally on your tab before you used the Open Austria ROM? Were you already on ICS using tracid's or still on HC before your recent upgrade?
Just wondering which ROM you were using which got the higher score. Thanks.
I was on honeycomb os that came on my tablet from new, I've since installed the stock ics Open Austria rom and just ran the test above and scored 5624.

Hi
I have T-Mobile Galaxy Tab. Is there any way to make it support Arabic language?
THANX....
Yes just flash the middle eastern rom. either the jpjm4 or the jpjm5.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I'm also looking for Arabic support. Mine is Galaxy Tab with stock rom
PDA : P1000ZHJK1
PHONE : P1000ZHJJ1
CSC : P1000ZZHJJ3
Is it ok if I flash an older ROM like P1000OJPJJ1 ? I heard that the newer rom has protected bootloader.
Thanks.
But then you can use the chainfire program to remove the bootloader files.
Use this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933028&highlight=jpjm4
It’s fast and has no bootloader issues. The jpjm5 doesn't seem to have anything better really. Like you I am cautious about upgrading. I bought my tab in November and I used to change my rom like every dew days to try different things but since I installed the jpjm4 from @galaxer, I didn't change it because it’s super fast and everything works perfectly in it. Also have great Arabic fonts. I also flashed this kernel with it:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924654
It works great and extends my battery life to at least 2 days, but this is optional you don't need to do this.
Another option you have is to flash the beta CM7 gingerbread (Android 2.3), it supports Arabic, but it has tons of issues because its beta. I don't recommend it to be your main working rom, you can flash it to play with and check it out.
I hope this helps
That is a freakin' awesome post!
Thank you very much I will try to flash the JPJM4 today.

I am on the same ROM AND Kernel the only thing i dont like about this ROM (And it is not an issue, really!) but i just dont like the few white lines that flashes when you boot your TAB. And regarding the kernel it doesn't enhance your battery performance unless you under-clock your CPU and you dont need that kernel just to do that, you can always get SetCPU and underclock. This kernel is for over clocking to 1.4Ghz and it does eat-up your battery EVEN though using SetCPU i have set the maximum to 1.4Ghz and minimum to 600Mhz
Just to let you know
Thanks every body
I install the rom mention above but i got two problmes
1- no market app in it. "easy i will find one"
2- i cant receive file through Bluetooth ??!! " I want solution for it if any one can?"
Yesterday i found Orange Rom which support Arabic but i couldn't change the arabic font ?!?!
My bluetooth and market arw working fine anare you sure you flashed everything correctly?
Regarding these lines in the begenning, I saw them in many other kernels before, they used to bather me too, but I dont care anymore . It lasts for like half a second and goes away. Also, this kernel allows you to change the battery voltage which is not an option with any kernel.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
After you flash the middle eastern rom flash the overcome kernal (2.01) and the ugly lines will go away and you will have your language.
Thanks Rangercabtain I wiped to factory rest then I flash overcome kernal (2.01)
now every thing OK

Hi guys, just this week I got a new Galaxy Tab from T-Mobile, so far so good, but I have a few questions about it.
1-) This is my first time using Android, is there a better version or ROM for this particular tab (or another that is fully compatible) which I should flash into it which is better or gives me more functionality than the default Android installation that T-Mobile puts on it?
2-) How are upgrades of Android OS obtained? I heard 3.0 is out, any ideas if Samsung or T-Mobile will make it available on these devices?
3-) Can "Line2" be used with it? I noticed when I'm connected to Wi-Fi at home Line2 works, but when I'm connected to 3G it wont work.
4-) Is it easy to install Themes on the Galaxy Tab, any tutorials?
5-) Any specific tricks/tweaks or apps, that are a must have for Galaxy Tab owners?
Thanks in advance!

I also just got my SGT T-mobile. What is the model number of your tablet? What is the Baseband version of your tablet? Have you rooted yours?
Mine's model is SGH-T849, Baseband T849UVJJB, and yes, I downloaded a program from this board which supposedly roots it, after installing and running the commands it said it had successfully rooted my device, now how do I know if it is really rooted?
Also what's the Baseband? lol sorry but I'm lost, this is my first ever tablet and also first ever Android OS device.

We both have the same model and baseband. I'm not sure what baseband is. You can check to see if your tablet is rooted by going to Applications and look around to see if you can find a Superuser icon.
If it's rooted, I guess your next step is to find a custom ROM and flash it.
Do you remember what you used to root your tablet? Was it SuperOneClick?
Yes, it was the SuperOneClick one from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367
Baseband is the modem you have. The modem controls the phone, wirelass data, wifi, and bluetooth. Yours is JJB.

Well, I'm not an expert but here is my experience:
1. You should flash the new Overcome experience Hermes:
http://overcome.mimzo.com/
There is also the unofficial cyanogenmod beta, but as you said the overcome is fully compatible and it will not change the feel of the Tab, just adds to the functionality.
2. The updates are two types:
# Official, these are over the air and you will find notifications in the notification area to tell you that there is a new update, or may be through kies for Samsung.
# Unofficial, which is basically flashing other ROMs whether official or custom.
# As for Android 3.0 (which is called honeycomb), it is not officially coming to the Tab. May be after the 3.2 announced a couple of days ago, but I still don't think so. Still, you might want to follow this thread as there are trials to get it fully working on the Tab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122959
3. I don't have any idea about this, as I got mine used and then I rooted and flashed it the day I got it.
4. Of course there are themes for the Android. This Overcome I was telling you about has a Gold theme. There are a lot of ways to get themes on the Tab. I myself use different home launchers with different themes. You don't need to flash anything if you are just looking to change the looks of your device. Check this out and let me know if you like it:
Go Launcher EX https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex&feature=search_result
There are a lot other but this is my favorite. You can even change the fonts of the display.
5. The most common used tips and tweaks that you should use is over-clocking/ under-volting which gives you more speed and less battery drainage.
As for the apps, these are my favorites:
Tango, Photfunia, ezPDF reader, Movies (or IMDB), Springpad (or Catch), File Expert, Go Launcher, Go weather, Google Goggles, Google Shopper, Just reader, Splashtop, Plex, GrooveIP. I guess there are more on my device but these are the ones that I found more functional and fun to use.
Hope this helps...
Thanks rangercaptain,

Any 2.2 rom is froyo (frozen yogurt).
Any 2.3 rom is gingerbread.
You can have either "flavor". They are both in the development section. Both are highly recommended.
Hi guys,
I've been visiting this forum for more than 6 months now, but I think this is my first post. I have a T-Mobile SGH-T849 GT-P1000.
Last year I unlocked it and changed it to a Gingerbread Euro. Below is the current setup:
Firmware version 2.3.3
Baseband version P1000XXJPZ
Kernel version 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build number GINGERBREAD.XXJQ1
Tab has been working fine, with the exception of:
- often does not remember wi-fi hotspots automatically, need to switch off/on wi-fi to do this
- 3G & phone works erratically. I don't use it as a phone, but those times that I tried I noticed the phone would loose connectivity to the mobile network and needed a reboot in order to fix it.
I'd like to upgrade it to Ginger 2.3.6, but which rom should I use? I checked on the forum, but I'm not sure if I should use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380595&page=3
or any other.
Is my modem correct or should I use this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902323&page=4
to install JL5 modem?
Sorry for the noob questions.
I have a galaxy tab 7+ sgh-t869 I need to chance my build prop in order to play order and chaos online it doesn't support operating system I have no idea how to chance it or what to change it to please help thanks
At last, Android 3.2 is HERE for the P7500!
First and formost I want to thank "brucewein" for having the magic device, "advocator" for helping us obtain the system dump, and Israel for releasing the first 3.2 rom for the P7500!
Now on to the goods...this is a CWM flashable zip. It is a rooted stock rom. With the exception of root capability, there is no other mods to this.
Install Instructions
Download the P7500JJKJ6_Stock_Rom.zip install file
Put the install zip on to your internal storage
Reboot into recovery
Perform a data wipe (Optional, but HIGHLY recommended)
Install the zip
Reboot
Enjoy 3.2!

torn between flashing this and waiting for the Overcome release thanks for posting!!
Update
Flashed the ROM from Overcome (without the recommended data wipe)
Rebooted just fine - Root works fine.
Apps seem OK, launcher homepage was a jumble of the old and new
On the whole, everything seems fine - dont know about 3G yet (dont have a 3g sim plugged in) - will update later. Thanks again to all who worked on bringing this out!
i will wait for overcome as well
yup, flashed it no wipe, messed up my homescreen, but my apps are all good thanks much, can't wait for overcome

love the animation, think I'm going to keep it
Ohhhhh. It's still got TouchWiz. Bummer. I was hoping for straight up Honeycomb.
Will it support danish when it is loaded in to overcome ?
Unfortunately, I think we're stuck with touchwiz on 3.2. that's why I haven't updated, I'm not a fan of touchwiz.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
Either this rom isn't for the P7500 EUR or doesn't support European networks. Mobile Network Settings are greyed out after flashing.
EDIT: Hate the boot and power off animation. Looks like they picked it up from a childrens TV program.
3g works
Just a quick note to say 3g works. I'm using this in India.
Any suggestions on how to get Cwm going on this?
Is it possible to use english but the apps in german?

Didn't want to try the Odin recovery because I presumed that it'd depend on 3.1 kernel. As you mentioned, ROM Manager works just fine - thanks
Is this data wipe means factory reset only or factory reset + wipe dalvik + cache ?
just curious .. Anybody try phone.apk on this 3.2 .. since Tablet 7+ using 3.2 is able to use phone call feature
Anyone tried yet the MoreLocale to see if more languages are present?

My mum has a Samsung Galaxy Ace and she is complaining about quick battery draining and low space. I figured the best thing would be is too update it from 2.3.3 too 2.3.6.
The problem is that Kies is saying that 2.3.3 is already the newest one, so I decided I will go on the internet and look for some official 2.3.6 ROMs. I found many, and the problem is that I don't know which to install not to mess anything up.
I found many people saying that they are stuck in boot loops and their phones lag even more because of the update. The question is: Which ROM shall I use? Right now my mum has 2.3.3 XWPKY and I want to update to one of the 2.3.6 ones.
I found many:
DDKQ8 (oldest one, boot loops apparently)
XWKTM (value pack, newest)
XWKPY (in the middle) which apparently is 2.3.6.... (people are saying it's actually 2.3.3).
Anyway, guys, which ROM do you use, if you have a official one? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Here it is where you'll get all official firmwares http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
Select your country if you want, KTM is an official firmware from Spain (android 2.3.6.) but don't matter if you flash a firmware from another site but you'll need to change maybe the modem after flash an Indian Firmware, so try to flash an European Firmware to avoid this kind of stuffs
I recommend you the Spanish KTM... Good battery duration and it's perfect as base.

well, the best way >>> delete all your useless apps (I don't use gapps e.g.), which are consuming your ram (or are running in background), reduce the brightness, use low frequencies, disable sync, delete default browser and use a light one... you can try Stocklite rom (stable without bugs and all performance from stock rom)
If you are using a custom based stock rom, don't use setcpu/similar apps to set your CPU frequencies, check my signature thread , to set frequencies when android boot without to use memory space and ram consumption
Hi guys!I read this forum for a very long time but I really,really can't find exactly what I need.
So I got my first Android phone and it's Samsung Galaxy S-i9000.Now I really know more about android phones and RAM and CPU for Android phones.However,now I think the better choise is Galaxy S 2 because of 1 GB RAM,it's faster and it has flash for camera(But I don't really need flash ).
The problem is RAM and I really like games like Subway Surfers,Temple Run,Ski Challenge,Real Racing.
I own Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 2 months and when i bought phone,firmware was Gingerbread 2.3.3.It was smooth and fast,but I had a battery drain problem.After charging and playing games,Android OS was draining my battery,so I had to reboot my phone after every charging and playing game.I searched a solution and i found that draining battery is bug of firmware 2.3.3.So I updated it via Kies to 2.3.4 XXJVQ and draining was still there but less than with 2.3.3.I didn't know what to do,so I searched forums and found that I should update to original Gingerbread 2.3.6 JVU.I bricked my phone,because Odin stuck at setup connection.There was just image of phone-!-computer when I booted.I was able to go to download mode and I immediately took my phone to repair service.Repairman installed to me 2.3.6 JVU and it is bit slower,slower for some games.I am sad.I don't know what to do.It is only 320 MB available.
-What should I do?
-I think I should take my phone to repairman and say him to install new firmware but I don't know which firmware.Can you tell me please?I want fast firmware without bugs and battery drain and I really want to play games like Subway Surfers and Temple run without lags like I used to play wit Gingerbread 2.3.3 and 2.3.4.
-Is there simple solution to change firmware?
-Why did I bricked phone last time when I tryed to update it.Is it because I maybe don't have USB 2.0 port.
Please reply.
P.S. I don't really like Custom ROMS because I think they are slow and unsafe.

You should better use USB 2.0 to update the firmware, Samsung USB driver must be installed and Kies process killed by the Task Manager (it loves to work in the background and can block flashing via Odin)
BTW, if you have used incompatible Odin version for your i9000 that also could be a reason for soft brick.
I fail to understand your point, as custom ROMs are actually faster and less laggy (especially when BigMem enabled: 407MB of RAM)
But for gaming is probably recent GB firmware a better choice. So all after JVT are fine, maybe JW7 would be best for you, it was released for Portugal and you can download it from sammobile.com
If not sure about something, check my i9000 guide

I am sure that I closed all Kies proccesses,and I used Odin 1.85 which is compatible with my phone,so I think the problem is USB port.That computer was old.Do you think it is because of old computer?
Wait,it is based on Android 4.x and my phone has to be rooted.I realy don't want to root my phone,and this Gingerbread JVU 2.3.6 (currently on my phone) is value pack too and it is slow.Very less RAM available.Is it about Kernel maybe.My kernel is [email protected] #2. Can I change and how?My phone is not rooted.Thanks!

I don't understand why wouldn't you root the phone....
Root would give you so much more options. Stock ROMs are full of bloatware that slowes the phone incredibly down.
With root access to your firmware you could uninstall all useless Samsung apps and it would boost the speed of your i9000.
Flashing a Semaphore_2.5.0bm.tar kernel would grant you full root access, CWM recovery and you could enable 409MB of memory on your phone, what isn't imaginable now (on costs of 720p video playback that wouldn't be possible anymore)

Because I want to took phone to service and tell them to install me new rom,beacuse I'm scared after first brick.And I think they won't root my phone and install custom roms.That's the reason I want Official Stock Firmware for GT-i9000 which is fast for games.I just want to tell them which firmware I want.And I am so confused about kernels.I don't even know should my phone be rooted to change kernel...
So,please if you know some fast Official Stock Firmware without bugs and lag,tell me. :highfive:

OK, I understand.
So, the latest one is JW9, not many people know it as it came very late and only for very few countries. But I remember people were saying it was awsome. Try Portugal one and if CSC works in your country stick with it (screenshot attached)
If no, this one will ceirtanly work (as it has multi-CSC) is this JW4 release:
Code:
United Kingdom / Ireland: 2012 April GB 2.3.6 I9000XXJW4 csc: I9000OXAJW5
I know that one, quite smooth, not very fast (compared to JB or KK roms) but stable and with excellent battery life. Best you can do is to download both, check that the zips aren't corrupted (download error) and give them both into your service and tell the guys to try first if JW9 works in your country. It should, actually.
Good luck and let know later if you like them

Allright,I think I'm will download just JW4.I googled,but there are many opinions.
Have you tried it yet?Tell me is it fast for games.That's most importan to me.
Also,people say it has 364 MB avaiable,BUT i'm little suspicious.Some peole say that 200-220 MB RAM is already unavailable when you turn on your phone.Is that true?I'm sorry if I'm boring but I really want to know all these answers before I took my phone to service.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

BTW, you know, I got so curious about the JW9 as I really didn't know it and I've just flashed JW9 today and: I must say I am bit shocked how good it is! It is far the best gingerbread I ever tried, incredibly fast and smooth., much better than the CM7.x (2.3.7)!!

No problem mate
Yes, it is all together 364 available as part of 500MB is fixed (reserved) for some system functions.... actually, with only 500MB capacity, the RAM of the i9000 is already around 60% full / used before you start any app or game.
Go for JW9, it is amazing! It is obviously better, faster and smoother than the JW4.
It will be no problem about signal I think, basebands in Europa are so similar.
I just showed it my wife and she wants that I install it for her instead of the CM11...... she prefers GB's layout and design..... Oh, yes: it just flies with SpeedMod kernel k-17-3.... but it is also very fast with its stock kernel

I changed my mind.Then,I will probably tell them to install JW9.I don't care does it include my language,but I just need english language.Is english avaiable in JW9.After 1-2 days using tell me,please,is that good firmware.I just wanna know some basics:
-Is battery good? (I gotta admit that battery on 2.3.6 JVU (now on my phone) is very good,no Android OS bugs,but performance is bad)
-How much RAM is avaiable and how much is unaviable when you turn on phone?
-Is Temple Run lag?
-Is that Value Pack? (I hate to lose RAM on that kind of firmware,I don't even like new features,I really don't care )
If I finally make my phone stable and fast,you're the best!

LOL, it is not about language pack, but Baseband / Radio- frequences for mobile networks that can vary in different regions of the world
Comparation: I know JVU well from before, IMHO, the JW9 is better in all terms. Faster, smoother, great.
It also looks much nicer, I've attached you few screenshots, I only couldn't make it fast enough to open the drawer before screen was printed (releasing of back+home button makes a shot, but also exits from laucher drawer)... it is my cat as wallpaper
My wife has liked so much the JW9 that she asked me to de-install her CM11 and flash JW9 on her i9000 today!
By no apps running, I had 42% RAM free, what is very good for the i9000
But you will also need some day root access, if nothing else just to uninstall Samsung's bloat apps that you'll never need and they slow your phone down. With root apps, one can hibernate many processes and

I still don't get it about Baseband/Radio freq.Can you explain me.
How much MB is avaiable.On jvu is 320,and on JW9?

Don't worry about baseband. It will work with your country's network. The guys in service will take care of it.
I will check later about RAM, but it will probably be about the same like with JVU.
I know you need more memory, that is why I suggested you to flash a custom kernel, Semaphore enables up to 384,5 MB on stock GB roms and up to 409 MB with KK roms.

Hi,
I've checked the firmware for Portugal from sammobile.com and it is totally bloated with stuff for some portugese provider.
Here you have a clean- non-branded XWJW9 firmware for your i9000, best Gingerbread I ever tried:
I9000XWJW9_I9000OXAJW4_I9000XWJW1 download link
It has open Europe-CSC so it will ceirtanly work also in your country. If your language keyboard is missing, just install free app MultiLingual Keyboard
So, good luck and lots of fun- happy New Year with your new i9000

Thanks! Happy New Year!
Can I flash either the Portugese or German XWJW9 firmware on my SGS? The one I'm currently on right now is the XXJW4 UK/IRELAND with multi-csc. Wifi signal is weak but when the phone is right beside the router, the wifi signal fluctuates.
I'm in the Philippines by the way. I'm a bit worried that the baseband and CSC for the XWJW9 won't work in my country.
Thanks.

Yes, JW9 will work. If the baseband isn't working, you can replace the modem later with any root file browser. Sometimes changing the region in the Wi-Fi settings can really help. You should try. Maybe no need for JW9.
