Tasker is not able to turn gps on or off when gingerbread is used. It recommends to use a modded ROM like CM7 cause google changed the api or something else.that gps can turned on only by user interaction :(

sorry, but the same happened to me. I did the titanium backup (to internal SD as I got to learn later), then installed.

Usually I do that without a wipe, so this works fine. But when you wipe you also wipe the titanium backup. This was not clear to me (as I thought titanium would save to external SD card of course! Also I was not aware of an 'internal SD card' wich is a bit missleading).

Yes, I know, my mistake and the yellow marks in the guide clearly state it. But there are so many warnings that you easily over-read the important part.

So here is my suggestion:

* remove these redundant warnings, just leave one, because as soon one reads a 2. redundant information one tends to skip the 3. warning ...

* at the wipe instruction put in brackets behind: "make sure that you have moved your titanium backup folder to a save place, e.g., to external SD card, as titanium by default backs up to internal SD card and this wipe will delete all your internal SD card data!". The warning in the backup part does not get enough attraction, as I over-read that, since I thought I know how to do a backup. Therefore the warning should be at the place, where you do the wipe.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Or Alterbridge could stop wiping your internal SD card with his "stock" ROM ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mattman83:
There's a good reason for it, so not likely.

The guide needs tweaking, sure, it would be better if people just read it properly but you can't help everyone.

Thanks for the great tutorial, my skills were a little rusty since flashing my Magic back in the old days.

Keep up the good work!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pibach:
yeah, but repeating this obvious message does not contain the relevant information, i.e., that there are 3 parts of storage, two are internal plus external SD card. These 3 storage areas get mixed names, on my German device the internal memory is named "USB-Speicher". Titanium puts the backup in "External storage: /mnt/sdcard". Unfortunately this is the internal sdcard, and exactly what gets wiped :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ravness:
Pitbull's guide made it very clear that the internal storage WILL get wiped. Just look at how many whined about it on this thread vs. how many that didn't whine. In other words, it's no fault of his.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
WTF?! Make your minds up!

I agree the warnings and reiterations in the guide may be a wee bit overemphasised but that is certainly for a reason. Many of us don't need to refer to the guide but, out of experience and looking at the history in this thread and in the older Overcome 1.x.x thread, most problems happen because people don't follow the steps well enough...

People first complained that the guide DOES NOT have enough warning that your data will be wiped... Now people are complaining that the warnings are too many

thepittbull works closely with the developer and the guide is written in conjunction and reference to the developer. You can therefore safely assume that anything that is written in the guide is there for a reason

If the three warnings are too many, I have no doubt that the author will remove/reduce them when he feels they are too many, i.e. when they become unnecessary, i.e. when people heed the first, or the second warning

Two points:

I'll post a picture of how I set my Titanium backup so that I never have to _move_ my backups. I don't remember if I had to create the TitaniumBackup directory on my SD card; wouldn't hurt. But if you set this upon each installation - and if you do regular backups with Titanium, you will not have to worry again about whether your data is lost with the wipe of internal SD.

The fact that people can successfully install these firmwares without a clue of how the process works or what the internals of Android are, is a testimony to the authors (meaning @alterbridge86 and @thepitbull) working hand in hand to make it so. So many times they are rewarded with a "here's how you can make it more effective [for me so I can skim it more efficiently]" comment, and rarely an accompanying Thank You. The internal SD card, so you know, is not a brainchild of the aforementioned - but rather an intrinsic part of the Android system.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
And what is this good reason? To remove the crud that Froyo leaves behind? Do people not just copy the entire drive off their tab and onto their PC, and then copy it all back again without any thought for what it is? Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I think most people do. With that in mind, all the sd card wiping achieves is wasting everyone's time. It doesn't bother me, mine doesn't get wiped, but I hardly think it necessary to waste so much time.

I do the same. One one of the cool features of Titanium is if you backup to the external sd, wipe and flash, then reinstall Titanium, it has a button to autodetect the location of your previous backup so you don't have to keep reconfiguring it.

Running fine on mine

Yes its probably for phones but looks nice and is very smooth on the tab.

Very smooth scrolling and paging, good batt life.

Smooth animations

downside,

you#re stuck with 4x4 layout, large icons/widgets, looks nice though

perhaps devs will change that in the future

Gingerbread & Overcome
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alterbridge86:
Lets see...where to start....the file that wipes the internal SD is a file called movinand.mst. This file comes direct from Samsung - they even include it in a number of their stock releases. Rotohammer also includes it in his fixed stock releases.

Initially, when I created the first "re-stock" package, I left the file out. I too found it to be an unnecessary waste of time. However, when a few users came to the thread and said "I performed a restock but half of my apps are still installed. Is this normal?", a lightbulb went off in my head...Apps2SD.

Restocking without the internal SD wipe leaves not only crap behind, but entire apps. So we decided to add in the internal Sd wipe to effectively eliminate that issue. Of course, tons of apps also use the internal SD for a cache/swap space, so there is lots of that sort of data that gets eliminated too.

Do people really copy and paste the entire contents of the internal SD? I sure as hell hope not...and if they do they've only got themselves to blame. And if people are doing this copy/paste thing i'll go on the record now and say DON'T DO IT! If you don't know what it is, don't copy it - simple as that.

TGF - You are the ideal user. You know Android, you're comfortable with your technical ability, and you can get yourself out of pretty much any rut you end up in. Unfortunately MOST people are not that skilled :(

This rom has a vast amount of users. TPB, MK and I - we need to do what will ensure for the easiest troubleshooting on our end, and one of those things is a common base with no additional crud left behind. I'm glad your Sd doesn't get wiped, and I really, truly wish that all of our users were at the skill level of you, but the reality of it is they aren't and we need to do our best to help them. Not just spoonfeed them, but if they take the time to read the guide and comprehend it, they will come out of the experience with more knowledge than they went into it with.

Greetings, and many thanks to all involved with this build.

I just installed it last night, and already am very impressed. I came from a ROTO ROM, and was worried about how performance would be impacted. Though I need at least another week of normal usage to compare, it looks promising.

I have but one question, which I am hoping someone can answer.

When unlocking my Tab, it seems it always orientates itself to a default of Portrait mode. Even if I lock it, while in Landscape, when it comes out and back to the main screen, it's now in portrait. Is this normal / new to Gingerbread, or even a setting in Overcome builds? It was not like this on Froyo / ROTO Roms in the past.

Info to note:

- I use the pattern to lock/unlock

- I use Launcher Pro Plus

Cheers

how do i downgrade back to 2.2?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] KennyXL:
Yes, I have experienced this jumpiness that I never had with the Galaxy Tab. I've always used Overcome ROMs, but this is the first Gingerbread I've put on. I convert all of my home videos to high profile using a x264 (h.264 variant) encoder. All the videos now exhibit some form of jumpiness; even the 480p. With the 480p it's probably every 10-15 seconds it looks like it freezes for a fraction of a second and then jumps to the proper frame skipping over the frames in-between. With the 720p it's probably every 5-7 seconds and exhibits the same behavior. I haven't seen it with the 1080p videos because one hasn't been displayed yet on my Tab, but there's no reason not to expect it to behave any differently except for more frequent jumpiness. I do have a few that were taken with an old LG phone using the .3gp container and that seems smooth so maybe it's the h.264 that's the problem. Regardless, all my videos prior to this ROM have been buttery smooth with zero jumpiness.

By the way, I've overclocked my CPU and kept it stock and regardless of the clock speed, it's always been smooth until now. This wouldn't normally be an issue, but there's nothing I get with Gingerbread (other than NetFlix usage) that would that I don't get with Froyo. In fact, my primary usage for the Tab is as a video photo at work that loops my home videos so I really need smooth video. For that reason I may go back to Froyo. Other than that, this is a really great ROM and I love being able to get NetFlix, but not enough to put up with occasional jumpiness in the video.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Ok, we have exactly the same behaviour. Thanks for confirming :D I'll try a few different formats and setting, and look at a few logs to see what might be causing it. No time now (exam on Wednesday, woo) so I'll try after that :D

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] 9812813:
Hi sserpentine,

As long as you use the 2.2 safe and Overcome 1.6.4 file (full ) versions provided you shouldn't have a locked bootloader.

Link to other forum: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=932082&

You will still require odin 1.7 to flash over the 2.2 safe, pit, and modem, which will basically reset/format all files on your device.

Follow the instructions in the guide to backup if you are not familiar with the process. Everything will work 100% - As long as your able to follow instruction.

Cheers.

backup to _external_ SD

In my case the problem was that titanium backup does not backup to the external SD by default although it says to do so ("External storage: /mnt/sdcard") - and this is difficult to notice.

The multiple warnings for the obvious fact that you need a backup when wiping only cause to over-read important things.

BTW I have learned that you can change the backup folder for titanium free version to external SD, just go to titanium then settings/Backup folder location then press back softbutton (!) then you can select external_sd and create a new TitaniumBackupfolder.

Thanks to delovelady for that hint:

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
You're right. I'm seeing the same thing on both the stock browser and dolphin HD as well. Will investigate this further. I'm assuming these are the teething problems we're seeing with the migration to Gingerbread... anyone seeing this on the stock 2.3.3 ROM?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
Nice catch @asshunter... it was at about 6am Malaysian time when I was editing the guide... so, yeah... was kinda sleepy after being excited with the testing conducted on the new ROM from alterbridge...

Fixed it... and have passed the updated guide to alterbridge.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
Anyway, as alterbridge has mentioned, and just as a further reminder and clarification for the rest: to those that are already on the stock GINGERBREAD ROM that ChainFire released AND with the CF-ROOT kernel installed (3.2 or 3.3), all you have to do would be to flash the Overcome ROM 2.0.0 beta 1 zip file via the ClockWorkMod recovery provided by the CF-Root kernel. Another piece of advice... do the necessary wipes (Factory, Cache & Dalvik Cache wipes) as well before flashing. Just good practice... Well, if you want to restock according to the Guide, it wouldn't hurt as well, since it's just an additional 5-10 more minutes of work (not counting the time for downloading the new stock-safe files, of course... but having a copy of it certainly won't hurt, right?)

To those coming from Overcome 1.4.x or 1.6.x, or any other setup other than the above... please follow the instructions contained in the Guide.
