[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Timtown:
I don't post much, mainly because others in the XDA community whom are far more knowledgeable (or maybe just faster typists :D ) than I usually provide better guidance.

Therefore, most of my posts are: "Great job!" or "Here's an issue..." type posts. So I'll do the same here.

Hermes, and the OC Kernel, are exactly what I expected; stable as granite, buttery smooth, lightening quick, power drain (all values set to -50, oc @ 1.4Ghz) is minimal. In short, nothing short of spectacular! The earlier issues with music playback are, while not perfect (what is?), greatly improved. IMO, VooDoo gets better the more it's tested.

Team OC- Job well done. I guess I'll chip in to buy you cats another 454g of "Dark Roast" :D

In closing, I'd like to return to my openning comments, I've been "flashing ROMs" for nearly eight years, on all types of devices and, based on that knowledge, I have developed a motto: "Never buy a device until a "Chef" has a cooked ROM for said device on XDA". You see, it is now just as it was back in 2003- the device(s) DID NOT WORK as advertised until one of these "mutants" a.k.a "Chefs" (said with great reverence and honour) got their keyboards on the job.

And, back in the earlier days, a lot of what's been posted in this and, I'm quite sure other XDA forums/threads, would have drawn severe rebukes, and yes, even some "time-outs" (if not outright banning) by the Mods and heavy posters. (Which is why I read more than I post.)

If you don't like the ROM's performance- keep your yap shut and vote with your keyboard for a different option (the true value of this site), if you like it but, feel it could be improved, then offer your suggestions. If they have merit, they'll be adopted.

Now, I'll concede that no one *really* wants to read 350+ pages just to get their shiny new device to perform as promised. But, the very reason this thread is 350+ pages is because the same questions keep getting asked again and again.

This indicates that folks aren't even *trying* to find the answer to the question they want to ask. And the damn shame of it is...the answer is right there- search a bit (using Google is a better option over the built-in search, just look for the XDA pages), check the wiki or, with Overcome, the excellent documentation.

The beauty of this community is that no matter what device you possess, you can find a better OS than what manufacturer installed. One that unlocks the true capabilities of the device, and they're all *reasonably* priced ;).

So, use the thread to post helpful comments. Advice to the "Chef" (that term seems to have fallen out of favor), to the "Noobs" who are anxious about their first "flash", to the community- one of which may have an issue that you''ve solved before.

My purpose isn't to silence anyone's comments or opinions. It is to ask for restraint prior to posting your questions/complaints. (8 of 10 "X doesn't work" comments have been answered/resolved five times prior in a thread of this length.) Should your comment be negative, frame it in a manner that will allow the chef to isolate and fix/improve the matter.

And if that's too much for you, then I guess you will just reveal yourself to be a twit just like thousands before and, after, have/will done/do.
