First off, a BIG thanks to team Overcome for this ROM!

Two small(!) issues though...

1. I'm experiencing quite alot of checkerboarding on the stock browser. The browser is extremely smooth, but apparently it has hard time keeping the web page in memory(?) while banning or zooming in.

Is someone else having this? It happens occasionally, but quite often. Could this be caused by the settings in the 'Tweaks' app?

2. Don't know if this related to ROM, but I didn't have this on Overcome 1.6.xx. Or could this be related to custom LCD density? If so, sorry for the OT.

I have a small problem with my keyboards multitouch: If I press and hold the shift-key, its nearly impossible to press the surrounding a, s and z-keys. I'm using the gingerbread keyboard found in the market.

Any tips on resolving the first prob would be very much appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kay_kiat88:
regarding the browser i think it is normal. nothing much you can do and i don't think it's related to the ROM.

the keyboard as well. it's not the rom's fault. probably the app. u can try thumb keyboard from the market. it's good but it's not free.

This is my battery breakdown since installation a few days ago. Only one charging cycle and no wiping batt stats.

Edit: sorry about the upside down pic. Dunno how to fix that.

Hello. Can anyone tell me if the buttons under the screen are illuminated non-stop.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] slimdizzy:
Yes. Its part of Samsungs firmware. Your tab is not broken :-)

VPN Works Fine Now

Thanks for the reply, my problems got fixed with VPN connectivity by rolling back to beta1 then updating again to RC1, strange ist it :S

I thought this was by design! This happens in stock Froyo and Gingerbread too, not just Overcome.

Ill try and upload my settings for vid.playback. It was one of the reasons i got this little puppy was for how good its playback is. Hell when setup the stock player plays 1080p mkv with solid bitrate and fps. Im about to watch a 20 mins animation with a fqirly low bitrate and work my way up from there,

Sent from my GT-P1000

I just realized that AVRSP is not working in Overcome 2 (GB) but it used to work properly in FROYO (1.6), as for A2DP Profile is working properly but without Play,Pause,Skip Controls (AVRSP)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Mikroft:
I don't really get why people keep trying to play 1080mkv files on the tab. It's pretty much a waste on our screens. As well they take up way too much resources. Storage if you're copying the the Tab or Wifi power if you're streaming. Unless everyone here has the hdmi dock. I just simply convert them with handbrake as they only take around 16min or so for a movie.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Jeffro64:
Hey guy's... Got my tab rooted and used the fake flash recovery in CWM to make a backup of my stock rom. Getting ready to take the plunge and flash Overcome, but have a quick question. The fake flash recovery that RM installed to the internal sd is v2.5.1.8 and the only way to get into this recovery is to boot to it from RM. In the install instructions for Overcome, after flashing the GB-stock-safe rom it says to boot into recovery by holding vol up and power at the same time and shows a pic of CWR v3.0.0.5:confused: When I try to boot into recovery this way now it boots into the stock recovery because CWM is only fake flashed using a update.zip on the sd card.

My question is does flashing the GB-stock-safe rom flash a perm CWM recovery that I will be able to boot into (Not likely), or is there a v3.0.0.5 somewhere that can be perm flashed? Or how is what the instructions say possible?

Thanks in advance for any help on this.:)

hi guys,

does anyone use the swap file for game??
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Sarsippius:
As I mentioned previously hardware acceleration works fine for 720p mkv video on my tab without having to adjust anything.

Maybe it's related to the install procedure, for reference I went from beta 1 full, then used beta 2 upgrade, then rc1 upgrade.

Maybe some settings from b1 carried over that have subsequently been changed in a later full release.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] delovelady:
I know nothing of a fake recovery patch or whatever... but I can say that indeed a CWM 3.0.0.5 permanent patch will be placed onto the device, and that is what you will boot into (when you boot into recovery).

Does that answer the question, or muddy the waters?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Jeffro64:
That's what I needed to know... Thanks button hit!

I Dont Know this is bug or ... But i want share my expriance

1-when i Plug headset and unplug it music player starts automaticly !!!!

2 - when we plug headset no headset icon shows [ i know thats not bug but can some body fix it ]
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
Agreed its total overkill, drains battery and isnt even able to "use" all that exrapixels aned bitrate.... I can however watch it on my Tab and just love that!!

In a pinch this + HDMI dock = high end media player/server. Lol.

Just cause you can doesn't mean you should but its hell cool that its an option!

Screen shots are done for all my settings if any one is interested.... Stable and i reckon you could watch 2 to 3 full movies @720p (avi) without any hassles off a single battery charge. Im using open Home 6 now, best launcher ever btw, and it was struggling before smartass was added and these settings tweaked...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pendevous:
It's not. When I used to run stock froyo and roto rom, my screenshots didn't have any problems at all. They were taken according to how I held my Tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tvg:
hi. It seems the previous time nobody has mentioned my post.

Why there are only numeric (10002.10002) permissions in /data/data? On the stock Gingerbread there are text permissions there (app_5.app_5).

There are no /data/system/packages.xml, which was (as I have read) needed for this on 2.2 (here, for example: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.ph...ix_permissions).

I'll tell you more: most apps in /data/data have 0.0 (root.root) permissions. Why?

fix_permissions script does not work as it uses packages.xml which is absent (on the stock Gingerbread too).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] knightnz:
The tab has plenty of memory, you should not need swap.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] V6-Maniac:
I don't feel any difference in speed between both version.

Stock or Overcome are very fast on my Tab.

The off animation gives a old tv flashout if you put your Tab in standby

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] k0sh:
maybe i got something wrong with my battery
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] raymund160:
I'm a bit worried about the battery drain :\

What seems to be the problem?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] V6-Maniac:
Nothing realy changes in the behaviour of Overcome or stock 2.3.3.

Only major changes are Deodexed, Zipaligned and nothing concerning any new added features which can drain the battery.

So the battery use shut be theoretical the same.

But could it be an faulty app you just installed which drains your battery?

And how long ago did you flash Overcome 2.0.0 and did you calibrate.

My battery is consuming also alot of power as it does with all fresh rom flashes.

But after mostly 2 full discharges the power consumption got stable and normal.

Edit:

Since 2.3.3 is out since last night i find it to early to say or give a feedback on the power consumption
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
THANK YOU alterbridge86!

alterbridge86:

Just a word to thank you in advance for this all-new stage in the history of the galaxy tab you are starting with gingerbread. We all expect difficulties and bumps ahead but one thing is for sure, your work is the heart of the Galaxy Tab as it should have always been and Samsung never did it! Speaking for myself and hopefully for everyone else in this community, my deepest appreciation and thanks for the incredible work and talent you have been putting on this for the longest time. The only reason I (still) have and use the Galaxy is because of the heart inside it that comes from your hands.

The Galaxy Tab is more your work than Samsung's in my opinion. You have made this hardware work! Many thanks for your continuing time and interest in all this! You're the daddy of this hardware and I look forward in Gingerbread to be a fully working reality, thanks to you:)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
You've been complaining about Overcome battery consumption, since every version, in fact you've been slagging it off, whether it's Overcome 1.4.x or 1.6.x and now even on 2.0.x... when as V6-Maniac has pointed out correctly, there's no major changes except that 2.0.0 Beta1 has been Deodexed and Zipaligned. Hell, it's even using the same kernel!

It's been less than 24 hours since even the stock came out, and even with a battery wipe, there's still very little room to form a proper empirical conclusion of any ROM's battery consumption, much less compared to another (stock or not!) You like to rant how you've tried everything... but for anyone to credibly believe you, it has to come from a controlled test, rather than, shoot out of your hips subjective statements.... less than 24 hours since a ROM has been released, is definitely not a time to shout out your "facts" as you'd like to frame it!

Maybe the main difference in your eyes is the fact that there's a counter at the top that clearly tells you of the status of the battery, and you're blinded by the placebo effect, and as V6 also has correctly pointed out, you don't say what apps you're running... or even if you've calibrated your battery!

So, if you want to go back to the stock ROM, I'd say go ahead... no one's stopping you... but to rant and rave like this, is most certainly rude!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] spandsbab:
This very good news indeed! Thank you so much Alter, ur the Man!

Kiss my Tab!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] MoxFulder_CH:

is there a way to get this without the full Overcome Rom?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Jeffro64:
Alrighty then got-r-did! Welcome me to the Overcome Experience! And what an Experience it is.... this thing is fast! Thank You to the devs that bring Overcome to us and a huge thanks for the step by step pdf because that made this very easy for me!! Thanks again to @delovelady for answering my one question so quickly as that was the only thing I was stumpped on.

I do however have one more question that I can't find the answer too... Now that I have this installed how do I get the phone to work? I'm sure i'll need to switch my data only sim out with the sim from my phone.. but is there anything else I need to do or is the rom ready to go on that just by switching sims?

Thanks in advance for any help on this last piece of the puzzle!!

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gtm55:
what's the solution? Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
Hey buddy. You should have flashed a modem during the process right? If not do so now. Grab the corresponding flashable zip or Odin file and get that sucker flashed.

If u have the modem already flashed on it your good to go. Swap sims and start calling.

APN not displaying (but exists)

Brilliant ROM but ...

I'm on GiffGaff in the UK (part of the 02 network). I've checked in the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml file and the correct entries for GiffGaff are there but they do not show up in my APN choices in Settings.

In order to activate GiffGaff I have to either create a new entry or restore a backup APN entry (I've been on Android longer than GiffGaff has been in the apns-conf.xml file!!)

Even when I've done this, I still occasionally get a popup message asking me to select all the O2 prepay APNs except GiffGaff as if it doesn't recognise the entry in the file (even though it is working)

HTH
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Jeffro64:
Hey thanks bud! Yes I did flash the modem I just haven't dug the tab out of the otterbox and switched sims yet LOL. I will give it a try when I get home from work today.:D

Hope the RC1 works for u

I understand it is 2.3.3, but

What are the benefits of installing this ROM ? any additional new features /functions /speed increases ?

I am using the Modaco custom ROM with the Modaco Kernel and I am very happy with my tabs performance it received over 1800 when I ran the quadrant bench test software

A lot of peeps seem to be raving about gingerbread so I would just like an isight into what's the big deal :D

thanks

@alter,

just replaced the /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf in RC1

with the included in stock GB and seems that the BT problems

are solved.

No disconnections in the last 2 hours.

Please, consider to update in the next release.

Thank's, you're great!

Avrsp is working perfectly with all controls now in GB overcome 2.0 rc1. It worked properly after resetting my a2dp device :s silly me!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alterbridge86:
There were some left over lines in the installer from when I included things to go in the data partition. I have since removed them. In any event though, the /data partition should be functioning normally. As to the packages.xml...that's missing in stock and anything in the /data directory should be generated by the system. it's possible that file has been moved or renamed on gingerbread.

Stay away from Rom Manager - it doesn't work well and the CWM recovery from there (2.5.1.8) is horribly broken. The kernel included in this release (CF-Root from Chainfire) includes a fully functioning, permanent CWM recovery (3.0.0.5).

Just to add a little more explanation to that - the T-mobile stock modem will not allow you to make calls. It blocks them on the modem level. You will need to flash either JPZ (recommendeD) or JMF modem. However, you will lose 3g capability (those modems don't support the 3g bands on t-mobile :( )

2.3.3 is the rave ;) Gingerbread doesn't bring major UI changes, however it brings a large amount of under the hood changes. For example, the entire UI is now gpu accelerated, leading to a MUCH smoother experience. Coming from Modaco, it will be night and day. I highly urge you to give it a go...however, forget about quadrant. the ~1800 score is due to the ext4 conversion inflation. Once we get EXT4 on GB, i suspect you'll be hitting well over 2k.

Thanks for that info - the mods to audio.conf were to enable A2DP connections from the Tab...i'll look into that file and see if something is set wrong...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alterbridge86:
Could you try the attached audio.conf and see if it still works? :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Alvin Lai:
@fishofthenorth

no disrespect to your current rom. Previous overcome froyo based rom and kernel easily hit 2k in quadrant. So now alter is waiting for source code from Samsung to do the wonder.

ok, replaced the stock gb audio.conf with the attached (by you) in recovery mode.

i will be a try and i report the results.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fistofthenorth:
thank you for that insight alterbridge86. I really want to give this a try, when you said

"Coming from Modaco, it will be night and day" is that because i have changed the kernel and file system to EXT4 so it will literally take me a hell of a long time to get

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] luigi_sa:
Hey all,

I'm from South Africa (just to set the scene... :P) - i started with OC when it was on 1.4 and have been following like a rabid flash junky since! i started out with the Tytn II and gullum, moved to the HD2 and finally settled with dutty. my first look at custom romming my tab, just after it came out, scared the HECK out of me! i've never seen such a convoluted, twisted guide like i did then!

BUT! I inadvertently found Overcome. After reading THOUSANDS of posts, and honestly seeing the mis-steps of others (and i apologise profusely if i upset anyone, but reading is a MUST), i have to say thank you (all who are working with Alter) for being the XDA team we all would love to be in the testing, breaking, fixing and then some more testing you all do for the benefit of others.

now to a worry... - i was on 1.6.4, with two battery conditions (just to be sure :)), and i was managing a 5am day 1 to 10pm day 2 battery life, with constant ebook reading, constant corp exchange/gmail/Hotmail syncs, and some petty gaming (maybe 2 hours a day), with data pretty much on from 6am-6pm, with auto wifi connection to home router. With OC2 RC1, i went with the upgrade from stock to rc1, skipped beta (sorry, wasnt in network range to dl...), with the JMZ modem, and my measly set of apps back (same set from 1.6), and my battery is hitting 30-40% by 6pm day 1, and im not doing anything different than before.

i went through the list of apps i had recently installed, removed them all back to same listing as 1.6, I'm going to do a battery re-con tonight, but im doubting positive results as i've already re-coned the battery twice in the last 3 days. oh, should mention, before i forget, just recovery'ed the jmf modem to replace jmz.

has this happened to anyone else? im running outta ideas here, and my hair is thin enough as it is... :P
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Kraistus:
I know one shouldn't excite oneself over quadrant scores...But I'm currently running the Overcome RC1 ROM with flashed smartass governor(kudos to -Mr. X-) and I'm hitting quadrant scores well above 1700! And given the fact that this is all done without the EXT4 conversion, so I'm amazed...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Jeffro64:
Gotcha on Rom Manager.... I figured that one out by messing around with it, but have since uninstalled it.

On the JPZ modem will I lose 3g completely or just while using the phone? I would hate to lose 3g data just to have phone calls... Didn't I read something in the forum about a modem switcher that would give me the best of both worlds? I'll have to look for that and see if that is the true purpose or not... didn't look to far into it the first time I saw it. Hopefully that is what it does so I can keep my 3g data.

Thanks for pointing that out though... I would have been going crazy trying to figure out why I couldn't make calls LMAO!:eek:

IM sure that local.prop overides the build.prop? I'm thinking build is like system or root and local might be for user or something? I'm curious about the qemu.LCD_density=240 wonderinh if thismight be somethinh abouabouts scaling or something??
