hahaha sorry - by night and day i'm talking purely about the difference in performance, metaphorically :) I guess that's not a universal metaphor :P

Installation will NOT take all night and all day, i promise. Give it a go - follow the guide and you won't regret it :)

Did you enable stagefright too? That gives a giant bump in quadrant results :D

You will lose 3G completely. Roto's modem switcher is a great solution if you really want to make calls with your tab.

Damn...ok back to the drawing board :(

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sohrab1985:
I have two questions.

the first dumb question: does this rom have a cwm?

second one: by reading some posts I found out the vpn doesn't work, but someone have said by installing beta 1 and updating to RC1 the problem is solved, so now what should I do? because I don't have the beta 1. Is there any other way to fix this problem?

Btw, Great job.

Edit: I just wanted to say it's not a big problem, because most of people don't use vpn, but some people like me can't use the net without vpn, because we have filtering in our country. We can't even use android market without vpn, so that's why I need this.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Kraistus:
One question/suggestion:

Would it be possible to add some hack/tweak to the stock browser in the future releases, because it's sometimes pretty tricky to write forum posts with the stock browser?

It's quite hard to follow what you are currently writing because the text doesn't "reflow" itself while writing, and the screen follows the text quite sluggishly. The text input is pretty "lag-Ish". Not to mention the tricky part when you want to edit the text you've written.

I hope someone catched my drift...

PS. I'm not saying that it's the ROM's fault, but Overcome team to the rescue! :-D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tvg:
That file is in /dbdata/system.

But why when I do `ls -l /data/data` on the stock Gingerbread, I get text permissions, and on the Overcome I get only numeric ones? It seems the file /dbdata/system/packages.xml is missing. It is its new place in Gingerbread
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] delovelady:
Well, if it's really just about this site (XDA-developers), why don't you go get the (free) XDA Developer's app from the Market? Although it does have some limiations, it's a nice tool - especially for posting (as long as your post has no attachment).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] delovelady:
Loving the new firmware (RC1). Great job from a great Team!

This is not a problem, but something I noticed today after the firmware installation. I sometimes use a Logitech bluetooth keyboard, intended for PS3 use. (Works great with the Tab.) The keyboard has an embedded trackpad, and when the keyboard is enabled, that causes a windows-style mouse pointer to appear on screen (as it always has). But when the keyboard is switched off, the cursor does not go away as it did with Froyo. Probably not Overcome that's doing that, but I thought I'd point it out. Worth mentioning, anyway.

(By the way, I dreaded using the shift key with this keyboard with Froyo because it made such a bad BBBBBBBBounce (like that). All solved now - keyboard is rock solid now! Lovin' it!)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DemonGloom:
Maybe you will want that app: Button Backlight Disabler. That widget disables keypad backlight after pressing on it. Very useful for reading/watching films in darkness on 2.3.3 :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Kraistus:
First off, I have the XDA app, which I'm currently using btw.

It's not just the xda-forum, this prob applies to every forum and websites with the ability to comment, when the text input window is wider than the screen (while zoomed in).

Opera Mobile does a better job on this than the stock browser, IMHO. I wish that team Overcome can fix this and exceed themselves once again...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] {Diemex}:
I have two issues.

First is that wifi doesnt automatically reconnect once my wifi is in reach.

Second one is that autobrightness sometimes just sets the brightness higher without a reason and then sets its lower afterwards. Is there maybe a app or setting to have more control over the auto brightness settings?

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mhkhairulnizam:
really apreciate for hard working for boot animation and did some tweaks..

full utilized.. no battery issue.. but when battery shows 15%, my tab will shutdown by itself..

do i need to fully charged my tab when it off.. and wipe the battery cache.. not sure about that.. anyone facing issue like me?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] {Diemex}:
Something is probably wrong with your battery stats.

You got to charge the tab fully. Either while its on with battery doctor or when its off. immedeatly go into recovery mode and wipe the stats.

OpenVpn is working fine on RC1. You will need to make some changes after running OpenVpn installer such as creating symbolic links for ifconfig and route. Search the forum for all the details. I have attached the working tun.ko (unzip and put tun.ko at the root of your SDCARD. Does your VPN provider support OpenVPN? I think that is the easiest way to connect if they provide the certificates and pem files. Nevertheless, if OpenVpn is working, then I am sure PPTP VPN, L2TP VPN, and L2TP/IPSec PSK will work as well. Probably best to put tun.ko on the root of your SDCARD. I installed mine at /system/xbin/bb - since I can set the location with OpenVPN. Good luck.

I did not try installing on Beta 1 or Beta 2 - I setup VPN directly with RC1. I did however, have to configure OpenVpn to use a VPN DNS Server with server address set to 8.8.8.8

Good luck

i actually have the same issue, but with 1.4.7 overcome rom. i tried dozens of times to wipe batt stats on cwm, and its weird coz its not showing that it was successful or if it failed, no messages of whatsoever. mine shuts down at around 20%-40% while gaming/surfing. then when it turns off, i can still open the tab with the remaining batt that was unused when it turned off. any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
Get battery calibration. App from the market charge your discharged tab while its switched off till its full then switch it on wait till its at 100% fire the battery calibration app and tap battery calibration.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] maxxedmk:
I installed it on my tab with no problems.

I came from T-Mobile stock and so far so good, other than the fact that when scrolling web pages or anything it seems to shake screen (not vibrate) when i pause scrolling but still have my finger on the screen.

Otherwise I have not seen any other issues and tab seems to be running fine.

BELAY THAT!!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] grukko:
I've seen this on both my tabs and attributed to being a software issue initially but then noticed that the area where it twitches the most is in the lower left quadrant of the screen.

Seems like there's an issue with the capacitive sensors in the general area. I did a quick test with a program called sketchers which shows the problem quite prominently.

Before anyone asks, I cleaning the screen and washed my hands before doing the test.

What's strange is, occasionally, the sensitivity will be fine (a few times out of the day).

Wondering if everyone is experiencing this issue?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] phdeez:
Thanks for this post... this fixed my vulkano streaming problem. I'm really glad someone else here has a Vulkano in here with the SGT. I went to this from the Viewsonic gTab and have been VERY happy! The screen really is a world of difference!

Question- what is the typical bandwidth you see from your local network? I actually see lower bandwidth on my SGT than my SGS (Epic 4G). It hovers around 500Kbps. I sometimes see >800Kbps on my Epic and 3-5Mbps on my laptop. I also set my video quality to "high" FWIW.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] insanemal:
First off.. THIS ROCKS! things just feel smother and nicer :D

But, it seems my tethering has taken a hit. I get a lot more dropped packets.. as in I get dropped packets even when im in a spot with 100% signal and will be pulling crazy speed. It never used to do this, infact if I ran a constant ping to say 8.8.8.8 it would not skip a beat. Now I will get say 20 in a row ok, then BAM 2-5 timeouts then back to awesome.

Dunno if its the network being weird, more Wifi issues (as other people were reporting drop outs on wifi) or just the alignment of the moon or something.

Anybody got any ideas?

@ Alter you said that GB has GPU enabled hardware acceleration but by default value of debug.SF.hw is set to 0 which of I am not mistaken indicates CPU hardware acceleration correct my information if i am wrong
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] delovelady:
The Logitech is a Y-X5A77. I also I use DELL Y-RAQ-DEL2 keyboards. They all function identically, but of course the Dells lack the mouse.

Update on prior - the mouse cursor does disappear eventually. And it'll crash the XDA Premium app when it does.

Most programs - cannot remember the one exception I've seen - mix up the @ and " keys on all keyboards I've tried. This seems to be an Android thing in general, not Tab-related, and certainly not related to this Firmware - so I'll stop there.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
Hey, I'm over here in Australia and I've hit a similar issue in windows though where if you have the keyboard set to UK I think it swaps the @ and " around... wonderinh if there is a region settinh hidden somewhere that might resolve this one. In windows you just go into I think it's control panel somewhere or a little floating button is sometimes there.

Hope this helps?

You're correct - GB is SUPPOSED to bring HW acceleration to the UI (it was a feature according to Google lol) - seems like Samsung disabled it in this build for some reason...in any event it will be ENabled in the next release :D

it is normal?

Hi all,

need to check with you guys if it is normal if batt usages showing android os using 80%++, coming from clean install with batt wipe done.

it seems that my tap is awake even when i am not using it, could this be the reason why there my batt drain so fast?

HW acceleration + governors for next version

FWIW on mine (1.45 --> 2.0 beta via restock --> in place upgrade to RC1) I tried the changing debug.sf.hw via bladebuddy and could not notice any differences.

For those of you who've change the stagefright variables, does it affect flash performance? Thats the only benefit I would care about compared to its current performance, I don't play HD files either and recovert to native res (which then plays fine).

A question re: the changelog for next version, what are these govenors and when should we use them? I know what a linux governor is but whats different about these two to the stock one (whatever it is)

"Smartass and interactive governors included by default (thanks to Mr. -X-)"
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] peacekeeper05:
Although my stagefrights are disabled excluding the http one, my flash player is very smooth. Even at 1080p and 720p. I always use my tab to watch live streaming from cnn and some local channels and it can plAY it very well. i don't know why some of you are having bad times on flash and HD movie playback. I have 3 720p movies and 1 1080p all are mkv formats and my tab plays it very well. Have you tried doing a full install instead of just using the updater zip?that solved the problem of laggy flash on my tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] wintermute000:
I'll just wait for 2.1 or 2.0 full release for that, not a big deal for me and too lazy to flash it twice in a fortnight lol. Hope you're right.

Note that stock and up to 1.4.5 (froyo) flash was always slow w/ video streaming (part of why I don't perceive it to be a big deal)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Kraistus:
'Governor' is this magical bit of code that controls your devices clockspeeds at any given time. For example, 'SetCPU' app can be used to set these governors to your device (First you'll have to have that governor flashed to your device of course).

There are few different governors to choose from, i.e 'performance' (keeps your clockspeed in the max all the time), 'Save Battery' (It uses the lower clockspeeds more often to save battery, in the expence of general performance), just to name a few. 'Smartass' governor is based on the 'interactive' governor, but it is said to do a better job than it's uglier older brother in terms of battery life and performance.

If you want to try it now, I suggest that you look here:

As thepitbull mentions in his tips & tweaks guide, there are a ton of variables that can affect battery drain.

That said though, I noticed the same thing after first flashing RC1 on my tab. However, I gave it a few days after flashing and calibrating and it seems much much better.

Also note that the first 20% tends to look like it drains fast, then it lasts longer and longer as it drains further.

I've had RC1 on since Friday morning. As of yesterday, I had my tab on battery for 26 hours and up until a few minutes ago, I still had 18% life on it.

I downloaded the app thepitbull recommends and use that to help monitor and properly calibrate. I like it and work recommend as well.

Give it a couple of days, see if it improves. It did for me.

You can use root explorer to manually go through and tweak settings in both /data/local.prop and /build.prop. I have been playinh with all sorts of combinations and believe I have finally found a combo that does everything I'm used to it doing just @ GB smoothness and speed.

Hey @Alt, quick rundown on local.prop vs build.prop? Never touched local before now so I guess my question is this, which one overides the other?? I have been tweaking both and I swear that its like trying to get a 3 digit pin code by elimination!! Lol every combo seems to yield different results?

since installing the rom complete and fresh last night, I've have the tablet freeze up twice and not turn back on until I plugged it in the AC outlet. Anyone else have this issue? :(

edit 1: i found if i do a .. hard reset? (holding power, vol up AND down), then resetting again got it to power back on without AC. just weird that it froze like that twice.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] delovelady:
I wasn't going to mention this, but perhaps I should. I followed the guide through each step, and double-checked the backup location and backup options in Titanium when making my pre-install backup. I always first set/check my backup location as /sdcard/external_sd/TitaniumBackup. When it came time to do the restore, and I had set this location, TB didn't find anything to restore under "Missing apps and system data." I even restored to my original and followed again, to the same endpoint. Finally mushed on without my backup data, reinstalling all apps. (It did find around 200 *all* apps and data items.)

Anyone else seen that? Had I not done it a second time I'd've had doubts about my process but I'm pretty sure I didn't make the same backup mistake twice...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheReaperUK:
I had this problem, it turned out to be setcpu, for some reason you cannot have low cpu clock speeds when screen off.

Had to set setcpu profile for screen off to 1000max, 200min, powersave.

if you go lower on the max setting it courses this problem with not being able to power on the tab after screen has timed out/standby mode.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alterbridge86:
haha - as far as I know build.prop generally overrides local.prop. Basically, when an entry is set ro.xxx.xxxx in build.prop, the ro=read only=local.prop can't change it. If something is not set as ro (for example simply putting debug.sf.hw=1 in build.prop) then it will be able to be changed again by local.prop.

It's a bit confusing - but hope you get what i'm trying to say lol

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bnbasarir:
After tb finishes backup move the folder on your desktop, flash the rom, install tb from market and open it once, DO NOT RESTORE OR BACKUP. Close tb. Locate the folder on your device fortb backup, move your files from computer there, run tb again. Worked for me everytime :-)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zaxondis:
If you get failure doing anything with Odin just remember 2 things:

1. DO NOT PULL THE USB CABLE.

2. DO NOT REBOOT THE TAB.

What you want to do is just run the process in Odin again. You should not interact with your tab or remove the USB cable until it is successful. It will stay in download mode so no need to try and get back into it.

Pull in the cable will brick you for sure. Restarting the tab will *most likely* brick you (not 100% on this, but it's probably the case).

thepitbull's guide is awesome.

Best of luck!
