Oh Snap -- I had the same thing! Turns out, after a painstaking day of restocking, restoring just a few apps at a time, full nandroid in between (restoring after FC's / no boot) -- in my case it seems to be Launcher Pro caused all the trouble. Thinking the backup maybe was corrupted, I removed LPP and reinstalled fresh from the market -- still no go -- would work fine until rebooting then I'd get "no signal" and constant android.phone FC's (also settings info would show "unknown" baseband). I now have everything restored completely except for LPP and it works fine, no problem with reboots.

Bummer because I've grown very fond of LPP and can't stand the stock TouchWiz home...

So, I've been having a go with SPB's Shell 3D and it's kinda fun.

Now to make a long story longer -- here's a question for all you guys/gals out there:

None of my widgets will persist after a reboot. It is noted in the latest changelog for Shell 3D that "disappearing widgets" is one of the fixed items, however any widgets placed in WidgetLocker also disappear after a reboot. :eek: Strange. :confused: Apps & Shortcuts aren't affected, only widgets.

Anyone else having disappearing widgets?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] YoMarK:
I'm also using Launcherpro paid version, and do not have any problems with it.

Sometimes Android says it FC's on boot, but if you wait a minute after boot, it's fine. I think it's because the system is busy with other things.

The same thing hapens on my Nexus One.

One thing that i've noticed when using LauncherPro, is that on the Galaxy Tab it does not(is unable to) pause the live wallpaper in the background, like touchwizz does(is able to). You should try to disable LWP if you use it in LauncherPro with this ROM.

Feel really strange, all the music players can't play wma file anymore. Any idea? Can someone help.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bongski55:
I tried setcpu(sorry for not mentioning in my question)

but whenever I unlock screen I find the value back to 1200.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] delovelady:
I do realize there was an answer posted, but there's some confusion that wasn't (I think) cleared up. Voltage Control is not the same as SetCPU. They control different aspects of the system. This kernel is not presently compatible with VC but SetCPU features work. (Or so I've read; haven't used SetCPU since I don't get excited about numbers - only experience - and I'm happy with the standard.)

Edit: Added: Oh, and by the way - I had reported serious lag problems all over the place - sometimes 15-20 second "pauses" where I thought the device was locked up. In Recovery I did Fix Permissions. Rebooted while I searched for instructions on disabling/enabling lagfix whose instructions still should be on the TOE site, and there seemed to be no improvement. Later I went back into Recovery and disabled/re-enabled lag fix from the VooDoo controls. Worked a treat! My tabby is (almost) back to its old self, with only momentary lag now and then. Very tolerable.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gwbard:
Did you disable, reboot, then re-enable? -- Or just disable & re-enable in the same CWM session?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] delovelady:
Ah, although a great idea, I did not reboot after disable. Don't know why I didn't think to do that.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] luigi_sa:
So, im an uber noob with voodoo and lag fix. but had similar "hiccups" and decided to try your thoughts out myself...

just disabled it, and i got the "oh-so-lovely" robotic voice saying conversion in process... 5 mins... i am truly "assuming" here its converted back to RFS?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] AlexTheStampede:
I think it's fault of the Smartass governor. No matter what I select, the icon is always the blank one. However, if you play a game things get back to normal, so while I could scroll fast with the tab clocked at 100 mhz, as soon as I started a game it actually used max 100 mhz! Seriously. So far i'd say get rid of Smartass and solve the battery issues...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Alvin Lai:
+1
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nikos-p:
Same thing here ... also can't play mp4 ..i hear only sound
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] delovelady:
That doesn't sound right to me!!! I'll revisit the voodoo menu when I can... But that sounds like something other than lagfix!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] luigi_sa:
For clarity - in the Recovery Voodoo selection, it gives you the options to enable lagfix, disable lag fix and i cant remember the others, but below the selections it shows you what its currently set to? mine was Lagfix=enabled. i ran the disable choice, and it showed under the current setting another line saying after reboot lagfix will be disabled.

you getting me worried here that i chose the wrong one... :( :S
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alterbridge86:
That probably didn't do anything for you :P Without the reboot, the lagfix was never disabled. Essentially what those options do is create a dummy file in the /sdcard/voodoo folder called "disable-lagfix". On reboot, when the system sees that file, it converts back to RFS if ext4, if already RFS it just boots. So by disabling then enabling in the same session, all you did was create the dummy file and then delete it :D

Yes you disabled the lagfix. You should probably reenable it.

Out of curiosity what governor are you guys using?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
Wel I was as many others using the smartass governer but had scaling issues and battery drains so I switched to ondemand. Any advice as to which is the best? Battery fiends go for conservative lol (am trying it now).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Kraistus:
I'm using Smartass.

I can confirm that it does rev the clock frequency to 1200 even if you have set the max frequency to 1000 or lower.

Also, I'm also having significantly shorter batterylife than on RC1. Even after battery wipe, did it few cycles ago. Few random reboots and freezes. HQ video lagging (no additional tampering with settings done, just the "overcome default"). Besides those, all is good! :p
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] luigi_sa:
Im running 'ondemand".

Ill have to wait till i can get the ph on chaarge before i re-enable, running low on battery, dont need it to turn off half way...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] delovelady:
You're right, of course. The lag is back, and seemingly worse than before. Sorry, but I'll have to go back to OC1.6 tonight. A shame, since I really want the Google voice with video.

I wonder: will the plans include a new kernel without OC/UV? (Yeah, I know we already lack UV...)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Yom:
Not very good tablet performance :(

@Alter,

My soul is crushed and my faith in mankind has all but disappeared, due to the less than stellar performance of the latest version of Overcome... is there anything you would recommend to alleviate some of these apparently endemic issues? The "hang" upon a full reboot, the constant and very slow media scanning, the lag that makes the device almost unusable...

I am not complaining, as I understand that this is a work in progress and issues like these are bound to happen, and am thankful for your work and obvious talent and skill.

Patiently waiting for your advice...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
Awww that was touching. Am in tears now :D (you know am kidding right? ) Can you tell me if you are Overclocking and what governer you are using? Also can you walk me on how you installed/reinstalled and things you tried to avert those issues? Sorry for hammering you with question. But Ive been trying to reproduce issues posted here and so far I cant :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alterbridge86:
:( breaks my heart :P

if you're using conservative governor, switch to something else (on-demand will probably work better for now while not slaughtering battery life). I see major lag issues with conservative :(

I am hard at work on the next release of course and things are already leaps and bounds improved :) As for non-oc/uv, i'm going to see how it goes with the OC/UV kernel. If tabs aren't hanging (like yours back with froyo) then we'll just stick with one. Worst case i'll build up a non-oc/uv kernel if the need arises.

I'm sorry to have crushed your soul :P

I know there are some major issues...i've got a lot of them solved and performance on the new kernel is drastically improved. If you can hang tight, i'll have an new version in a few days time.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] k0sh:
damn , this is ain't fair :( , before with 1.xx i was complaining about the battery life .. now after the great work of Alter and his team , seriously , the damn GOLD is not gold its a freaking daimond , battery life its freaking awesome with the new kernel ... now after no problems with the battery life with me . ppl here complaining about it .. this is not fair !!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] stewi:
Maybe it isn't safe to OC on every SGT. I have CPU Master instead of SetCPU, governor "on demand" and normally limited between 100 to 1000MHz and sometime I limit to 1200MHz. No FCs, no lags, no battery drain.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Magaboo:
I have to agree. I've been using Gold (upgrade from RC1) since the day it was available and have encountered zero problems!?

This is really strange, seeing all the issues that others have found on their devices.....including Alterbridge (?). It's all quite confusing. Are there more differences in hardware then we are aware off? I'm encouraged to read that Alterbridge is working on some of these issues trying to make it smooth and fast for all of us. Thanks AB and Team.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] AndroidGX:
hi guys!

If it can helps, I tried several tests of benchmarking on Quadrant standard, and saw many difference of performance drop from the "Smartass" governor into "ondemand". On almost every 3D benchs, I saw a drop of something around 30% less than Smartass.

So the Smartass is the best governor to get maxxed performances on this rom actually.

But, I saw that settings Smartass to default values (100 min, 1000 max), I encountered some issues, like sounds crashing when sleep mode on while listening music, and another: still when sleeping mode, when receiving a call, the device almost do not answer, can't open and accept the call and sounds crashing like listening music problem. To solve this, I decided to set it via SetCPU to the 200Mhz min value, and no more problem encountered.

Overall I didn't see any real difference of battery drain between Ondemand and Smartass as all actually.

Sorry for my bad english ;) hope this helps!

Many thanks to developpers for this very nice rom!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] k0sh:
WTF , more fast , the freaking tab is flying :D .. damn i'm sure i'll beat Ferrari with my Tab running overcome GOLD ... xD
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Bulut.O:
Is there any way to check the exact wifi strength on the tab...

I bought a new router and wan to see how the signal is... The bars are almost the same...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fernandoper:
Not yet is possibility to use the Latin version??
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Yom:
:)

I am overclocking to 1200 with Smartass. Last time I ran through the motions, I restocked sans bootloaders, flashed Gold, ran through the initial setup, copied my data back into the internal SD card, installed TB and its key from Market, and then restored all my user apps (just the apps, no data), then I restored the data of those apps I care about and use the most. Same procedure on Wife's tab. Both with the same results. Her tab has mostly different apps from mine.

Funny thing, the hangs and unresponsiveness on my wife's tablet were Uwe Boll-movie bad (Which is very, very bad indeed)... until I set it to Airplane mode as it has no SIM... then it became just as bad as your regular garden-variety Sy-Fy weekend movie :P

I know the Chef is working his hiney off to fix all these issues, and am more than happy to wait for the new bits to drop. In the meantime, I am sure my kids and beautiful wife will appreciate me not messing with the gadgets all the time :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
Try using the app: Elixir
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] enyeng:
The Wifi Analyzer app from Market?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
Try reverting your governer to ondemand and see if that fixes the issues you're facing. And currently the chef is working to stomp and iron out all those nuisances. IF you're still on gold try setting it on ondemand and wait on restoring any apps or data and try to see if its still has hangs reboots etc. If its working well move to the next step of restoring apps only and test then proceed to restoring data and test and so on.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Bulut.O:
Damn WiFi Of SamSuck...

This is f...ing crazy...

300mbps Router with 2 Antennas (1 = 3dbi / 1= 7dbi)

Router is on my desk... i am sitting infront of it...

The Tab is 10cm away from router on same desk...

Elixir = 98%

if i move exactly 10 steps...

Elixir = 20% = 1 Signal Bar

My wife has an iPhone4...

She has 3 Signal Bars after 25 steps...

This is driving me crazzzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyyyy...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] 3ph15t:
this is normal, sadly...

I got an D-Link Router with 2 Antennas and 300 Mbit/s but it shows me 72 Mbit/s as maximum for the Tab. With my Netbook I got full 300 Mbit/s
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
I thought it was my problem too but Blame samsuck I am one room away from the router from 98% to 33% (I live in a concrete bunker lool so I can't be that fair). I suggest you try a power cycle on all devices (switch off router, tab, everything wait for 30 seconds and reboot). Also to boost the signal I suggest you activate the XPress (TM) Technology in your router page settings (if you have it). Also try to transmit at a less crowded channel THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT tip. The tab HAAAATES crowding for some reason can drop a connection for that even lool.

Hope it helps. Or we get some magical fix lol ;P
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Bulut.O:
How can i see wich chanel is less crowded...???
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Yom:

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
Use wifi Analyzer from the market.

SO I downloaded 2 test files one 720p lasting for 1:15 and 15 seconds 1080p both running smoothly only thing I deactivated is the SD card tweak.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] codington:
You are not alone. I too am running LPP, but did not think it might be the cause of the radio getting whacked upon a reboot. I have been running the TAB for the past 3 days with no problems. com.android.phone FC started occurring only after I I tried installing AppWidgetPicker. It started to FC, so then I rebooted, and BAMM! com.android.phone FC every few seconds. Put the TAB in airplane mode, removed AppWidgetPicker, and rebooted. Problem solved. Several days later, I tried to setup OpenVPN - which required using root explorer to push two files to /system/xbin/bb. I could not get VPN to work, so I rebooted, then BAMM! com.android.phone FC every few seconds. I wiped and reflashed - all is back to normal - but I have not tried OpenVPN again.

LPP is buggy on Gingerbread. I know because it is buggy on my Nexus S as well - however, I don't get the com.android.phone FC problem as I sometimes do on my TAB. LPP forums have some threads on the problems as well.

It must be something we are installing after getting OC 2.0 setup. I am not certain it is LPP, although it might play a part. com.android.phone FC are the result of the radio getting whacked. If you put the TAB in Airplane mode, no more FC. If you try to Odin the radio, it does not fix the problem. I have only been able to solve by a restore from backup or complete restocking.

I only restore data from TB - never system. Unfortunately, I don't have time to restore programs one by one with a reboot to see what might be causing the com.android.phone FC. Nevertheless, I am still looking for the smoking gun.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pendevous:
Lol there are faster roms, but what I like about OC is its stability. Yes, there are issues, like my default player - which I never use anyway - not playing flv files, and the horrendous lag of mp4 videos, but those are mundane instances.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] asmen5:
Same here, in OC ondemmand governor it's laggy.....
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
Oh I see. Hmm that is odd and different from what I thought. Cheers for clearing it up. It must be something to do with root access for setcpu or something similar. So what your saying is that its not that's its spiking in your case the actual top limit set changes everytime you lock screen? Do you have set at boot ticked... actually never mind, any time I find odd things like that my steps go; check superuser and clear defaults to force setcpu to ask again. Uninstall and reinstall setcpu for auto detection of speeds again. Reboot recovery and clear cache and delvik and fix permissions. I'd be interested to know how things turn out so feel free to Pm me if you work through it or I can help in any way.

I've found with REDACTED ;) kernel and Overcome 2K Gold it cleared up the vast majority of my audio playback issues. Can't speak to videos as I don't watch that many at this time.

For those with WiFi issues: Adjusting channels on your router may help your Wifi speeds and signal but, the best I've ever achieved, consistently, is 72mbps. (My Netbook sometimes reports 150 but, those moments are fleeting.)

Overall, with Overcome, the SGT is buttery smooth, very fast (Quad. scores are high yet vary wildly but- WGAS?) and stable as a rock. Tip 'o the cap to the OC team.

Not posting here for any other reason than to congratuate the Team and to suggest that, for those whose audio playback and WiFi aren't optimal, my setup is quite satisfactory.

I'm quite certain when the OC teams retooled kernel emerges it will be worthy of the quality I've come to expect from the Overcome Team.

Yes, the same here. I have reinstalled chainfire's kernel for now and the tab is smooth like RC version.

Had to remove Launcher Pro Plus to get my Tab working. Always get Phone FCs with LLP installed.

And now it's laggy, full cpu usage. This didn't happen with 2.0.0 RC1. :)

I'll try disable Voodoo and see if it helps.:)

Lol... hey mate, you don't have to redact koxudaxi's kernel here. This is still a public forum. Don't take the recent kerfuffle that happened to think that I'm (or anyone else) against posting the opinion of another developer's work here... :-)

The point I was making then was something else entirely, and not to restrict anyone.... but let's not dwell on that anymore.

In fact, for the last couple of days, I was experiencing those intermittent but infuriating lags and stutters too. I found that running koxudaxi's fine kernels, helped a lot. 3.0.5 to the current 3.0.7. Although strangely, 3.0.7 seems to have "broken" the Google Earth app. <

EDIT: Strike that last sentence, seems to be OK now!

)

We're here to share experiences, and if your experience could help to point someone to the right direction in getting their Tab to work better, I'm sure everyone would welcome that. In fact, it's these feedback that's valuable to everyone, including to AB86 and the Overcome team. We'd love to know what's best out there and to benchmark against as well as to see what we can do to improve the Overcome experience.

It's also true that the current kernel is not exactly the best that it could be... in fact, I was joking to AB86 that this could be the "Vista" release... the fundamentals are there, but it isn't as properly optimised or as good an experience as you'd come to expect from The Overcome Experience...

However, do know that AB86 is working hard now to get the new kernel up to par, and I'm running an early build of the kernel, and it has fixed almost all the issues most users are complaining about, especially the intermittent lags and stutters... it should be out in the next few days. Until that new release is out, I have no hesitation in recommending you guys trying out koxudaxi's great works...

That's weird... the patch should work on an upgraded Gold setup. Try downloading the patch again, and applying it again. This time just wipe your cache and dalvik cache after installing the patch. While you're in CWM, do a "fix permissions" as well. Let me know how it turns out. Be aware that after wiping the cache and dalvik cache, the first bootup after that will be quite slow, as it needs to rebuild the caches, but subsequent boot-ups will be as fast as it normally is...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Sarsippius:
Regarding the smartass governor I'm using it & overclocked to 1.4 without much issue. However when I installed it on rc1 I felt it had a negative effect on standby battery life, hard to be sure but I set up setcpu to switch to conservative governor on screen off.

I know some of the htc desire kernel devs won't support smartass because it can have issues, problems waking up is one of them from memory.

Btw with this setup my battery life is as good as back on froyo, 3-4 hours for 1% on standby.
