New Thread

As I have said before, I'm amazed at how generous the overcome team are with their work and I love using your excellent Roms. I was wondering if it might be a good idea to have a new thread for each Rom version as this one is massive. I must have read every post since getting my tab a few months back - but for a newcomer it must be a daunting task!

My experience with Icarus is much like yours. Fantastic battery life. I only lose 3-5% when left idle for 8-10 hours overnight. Wifi on 24/7 and 3G when out. Kids watching movies or playing games on it when I'm not using it. Data sync always on for Gmail, twitter, fb, and pingchat most of the day. I get 2.5 days out of 1 charge. Thanks AB.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tryerxda:
Icarus running fine here. :)

No OC, permanent wifi, autobright, torrent client and tubemate used regularly. I get about 11 to 14 hours.

Not complaining, actually I'm happy with that.

Otherwise, really decent rom. Ta very much!

Couple of questions:

- if flash is free, why not include the apk in the rom, and a script to reinstall it on first boot?

- i have no idea how to do this, but would it be difficult to put a widget of yours (linking to your site, or this thread) preinstalled on the home screen? Total plug, but Im sure most users of this rom check in on this thread more or less regularly, and most would like this feature.

Sidenote:

My battery has been unpredictable since i got it. Sometimes showing say, 35% for a while, then suddenly drop to 1%. Or dropping from 85% to 1%, then tab shuts off. If i leave it for a couple of minutes, then try power on, it boots fine, and battery shows 45%.

I have been through a couple of stock versions, and a couple more custom roms on xda, and Icarus' 3 forbearers.

I have tried resetting stats 3 or 4 times over the last 5 months, after a full dis/charge cycle.

It seemed to get worse on hermes, Ill confirm if it gets worse or better on Icarus in a couple of days.

I think my last hope is opening the tab, and pulling the battery from the board for a couple of minutes, and it should make some batteries reset, and give correct values. Currently awaiting a replacement "pyramid" screwdriver. :p

(although buying a new battery sounded easier, I just decided to try and try all the other solutions first) :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
I would hate to try to jump on this train now too. The best advice is do searching from a pc not from the tab. And use google, not the pathetic xda search.

I have a quick questions. Which languages are available in this ROM? I am looking for either Spanish or Portuguese.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
HAs anyone managed to succesfully run the Tab at 1.6GHz stable? Under Froyo I have been running it at 1.4GHz (Performance Mode) all day for months. Never a glitch, ever. How about 1.6Ghz, is it usable or too much for the machine to handle?

Overall does 2.3 feel faster or slower than 2.2? My previous experience using another JTC phone is that Gingerbread is slower and more resource intensive than Froyo...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
Both Spanish and Portuguese are included in this ROM
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GOF007:
1.6GHz seem to be officially unstable.

For me 2.3 is overall much faster and responsive than 2.2.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Timtown:
I took the long march (a.k.a restocking) on this version (as I do (every other flash). Very limited initial testing revealed 1.6 OC to be a fool's errand (*especially* UVed :) ) So, after three consecutive random reboots (followed by boot loops), I reflashed (in the Orthodontist's office no less) using tne "No Wipe" version ((*after* my initial flash w/Full-wipe) and...

...dontchano... good ol' Overcome (Somewhat ironic that the 1.6OC version is christened "Icarus", no?) For right now

running straight up w/no OC/UV, normal kit and smooth as buttercream frosting. Nice work folks!

Just FTR, I think the poster whom suggested individual threads for specific releases is spot on. Threads, be they on XDA or TOC should be more specific/concentrated on topic, in order to better assist ALL members, regardless of experience level. If a thread is nearly 500 (XDA App) pages, and posters still don't know how to get to "Recovery Mode" or "Download" then, IMHO, the thread has become ineffective at its central duty- to impart knowledge.

I hate to think I've become a grumpy old man but, jeebus, in the "old" days- 40% of the posters to this thread would have been banned/suspended/humiliated and/or, bricked without remorse. And the only recovery was for $.

Ahhh...good times. ;-^

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Anyone worked out how to get transparency in the notification pull down? All my attempts result in a black background :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
It depends, if you've just done a dalvik cache and/or cache partition wipe, or just installed, it might take quite a bit of time, as it'll need some time to rebuild the caches.

After these scenarios, it's usually quite speedy, a minute or so sounds about alright.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] V6-Maniac:
Just wanted to ask the same thing.

And my last attempt i tried the UOT Kitchen to sort it out but that didn't help.

Or where are looking at the wrong spot or UOT has some wrong strings when applying the code.

But i've got to work this evening so can't be on the spot today.

Hope to find some thing tonight or this weekend...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] OrionBG:
I can't understand why anyone likes this transparent notification bars! It only slows the pull down/up time! It doesn't even look good! I'm really happy that it is not implemented yet!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] V6-Maniac:
That luckely a mather of taste.

But the fact that it slows down the pullbar is something i never noticed.

Beta 2 seems to have broken flash for me. I had already install flash 10.3 on beta 1 via the market. After updating to beta 2, flash stopped working.

I tried deleting the flash installer apk from system/app and reinstalled again from market but it still doesn't work.

Any ideas what could be wrong?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alterbridge86:
It is very difficult to brick a Samsung device - however a failed bootloader flash will cause it. There are a few ways it can happen - 1) you use heimdall and put a non-bootloader file in the boot.bin or sbl.bin section. 2) you use Odin to flash, but during the ~1s period when its flashing bootloaders your cable falls out or power goes off - you lose connection. So, very very unlikely, although it is a minor possibility.

Bricking isn't a "bug", and it won't get any safer as time goes on. There is always some inherent risk in flashing bootloaders, but I can personally tell you i've flashed them back and forth probably 1000+ times without any issue. The majority of cases where I see people with bad flashes to the bootloader its user error. Once in a blue moon, its just bad luck (cable falls out during boot.bin/sbl.bin flash). Really though its nothing you should worry about. If you follow the guide, letter by letter, you will be fine.

I am working on that for next release...the answer lies somewhere in SystemUI.apk (new to GB)...haven't had much time to look at it yet so I haven't figured out where yet :P
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
@louser charge your laptop battery to the max and put it on while flashing your device. Like this if power goes out your battery acts as a UPS of some sort.

For some reason flash 10.3 refused to uninstall from the market so I rebooted, then tried to uninstall again immediately after rebooting. This time it let me uninstall. Reinstalled again and now works. Strange.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ravindrank:
Hey we could use BlinkerTab app to fix this,not saying shld be included in rom, but for those who want to fix :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ash99:
I had the same problem but I think a reboot sorted it out. No files were altered.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ash99:
So, I presume we are waiting for source code before a custom kick ass kernel hits this ROM.

Anyone want to guess how long that might take ?

Think I am nother one of those. After a couple weeks of very happy running on Overcome Hermes just a few hours ago all of a sudden a bunch of force closes. I reboot the same thing. Another couple reboots and the same thing so I go into options and try to reset to facatory and end up with the Android system recovery <3e) screen followed by a bunch of red unknown volumes, cant mounts and cant opens. From here cant do anything other than hard reboot back into the same screen.

Should I just follow the Overcome Icarus ful wipe and instal or maybe something else. Remember im a newb and an established documented guide is the best for me.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mattman83:
Doubt it, Overcome is a mod of the official samsung release so it'll be faster and more stable.

HC is a pretty hardcore port to get onto a tab. I ran the last HC 3.0.1 alpha spacemoose did for a while and yes, HC ran and you could do stuff, it also had alot of issues. 3.2 should make some things easier but it's never going to be an easy/fast/stable rom like overcome is.

It is probably on for about 4-5 hours total, roughly 30% brightness. I only put it higher when I go outside.

I charge overnight, have morning cofee while reading the news on the tab, then it sits by my laptop as I work, and I'll check youtube/ted/listen to music, etc on it.

Got my triangular screwdriver today! Yay!

I'll try open up the tab tomorrow, and pull the battery to try and reset it. Has anyone else tried this? Just wondering if it would be better to do this with full or depleted battery.

Also, does anyone know why a copy of the flash apk isnt included with the rom, and set to install on first boot?

/cache errors and Market issues

To everyone with market download issues and /cache mounting errors in recovery:

I believe I have come to the root cause of this, although it isn't pretty. More detail can be seen in my full post on TOE:

http://www.teamovercome.net/?p=1220

To summarize quickly, v4 of the restock package, on some devices, was not creating the /cache partition correctly. As a result, it wouldn't mount (because it didn't exist) or some Market Downloads fail (because they use /cache as a temporary location for downloads).

The only fix for this, unfortunately, is to restock with the just published v5. v5 is a bone-stock version of JQ1. My detailed explanation for this is in the TOE post. However, being that its a bone stock version of JQ1, you MUST download the Overcome Kernel v3.2.0 (or whatever kernel you choose to use) separately and flash through Odin AFTER the Tab has booted once into the pure stock JQ1 build.

So, for now, quick instructions on restocking with v5 until pittbull wakes and can update our guide appropriately :D:

1) Download the v5 package and install, following instructions from TOE install guide.

2) Allow the stock rom to boot fully. Once you are in, power down.

3) Download the Overcome Kernel v3.2.0 tar file located in the Downloads section at TOE.

4) Put the Tab in Download Mode by pressing and holding the volume down button and power button.

5) Flash the Overcome Kernel v3.2.0 tar file.

6) The Tab will reboot and you will hear the conversion start to take place.

7) Do NOT interrupt it - once its complete the Tab will boot normally.

8) Download the Wipe version of Icarus and place on your SD card.

9) Shut down the tab and boot into Recovery mode by pressing and holding the volume UP button and the power button.

10) In recovery, flash Icarus wipe, then reboot.

11) DONE!

NOTE: This is NOT the same issue for those few tabs that are unable to get into Overcome CwM Recovery with the Overcome Kernel, even though you see /cache mounting errors in the standard 3e recovery. Doing all of this will not help you in any way. That issue will be fixed in the next release, which is coming soon :D

Unfortunately DPI below I believe 190 breaks the theme for some reason. Only solution would be to switch to the stock theme :(

I have the same problem with installing from the market. I think I found a solution to (might just be for my device though), once the apk starts to download from the market I will pull down the notification window and it will fully download and install the app 100% of the time. Without the notification screen in focus it will just silently fail with no error messages or whatsoever. It seems to download fine but it will just fail when I comes to the installing part.
