Yup, based on my trials with it... the new Gingerbread base that Samsung has provided is friggin' fast, even on the RFS filesystem. I'd say it feels snappier than what 1.4.x/1.6.x is currently offering, albeit, there's still the occasional sluggishness to be felt once in a while... which I'll attribute to the inherent flaws of the RFS filesystem and the slowdown they proffer when handling long-term I/O duties...

This is still the early days of the Gingerbread base, and there's a lot more optimization that can be wrung out of it, especially when the Samsung releases the source codes to the kernel... but to answer your inherent question, which basically could be summed up with this question: Is it a worthwhile effort to upgrade to this new base? Absolutely... and without a doubt, despite all the potential teething problems it might bring. The pros definitely outweighs the cons here... :-)

Anyway, @DarkPal... I know many will not agree with my sentiment, but all I can say is Yay! ;-) alterbridge and mkhattab knows how much I loathe the Samsung Ebook app... and it's usually one of the first thing I do, is to nuke it out of oblivion after testing that it works during the testing period.

However... don't misconstrue my immense joy, as it's not intentionally omitted, as there's a weird situation with the "hidden.rfs" file, if I'm not mistaken, during the installation that not taking hold that somehow makes the Ebook unavailable in this current version. Though I'm rejoicing at not having to waste time and effort to blast it to kingdom come... I'm all for providing all the utilities that Samsung saw fit to provide us with. Just something you'll have to give alterbridge time to fix. Probably a CWM-flashable zip file to install it for now. But for now, one simple word of advice: Aldiko. ;-)

GPS seems to be faster and better without any tweaks etc.

It never worked from inside my house previously with all sorts of configs and now it does.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
Agreed. I call those occasional sluggishnes "hiccups" occur when handling such operation. More evident with browser loading of rich content websites, stacked inbox etc. But all in all its quite fast especially the more responsive pulldown status bar, even sd card loading and mediascanner is quick and snappy.

Just curious cuz I'm not completely versed on how the radios work, this should get rid of the "cell standby" eating up battery right? I didn't flash the T-Mobile modem so it wouldnt have a signal to pick up but still cell standby eats up my battery.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] New-Bee:
there's a short reaction, but still "no signal".

Its the display form my computer...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] 9812813:
Radio's Explained --

All of the radios work independently, at any given time you may have the following running

Wireless

Cell / Sim Radio

Bluetooth

When you go into flight mode - it turns them all off. While in flight mode, you can re-activate your Wireless signal, but not Bluetooth. Bluetooth seems to be married to your Cell/Sim signal.

However with the above, once you disabled your Cell Radio, you can operate Wireless and Bluetooth individually without having to go into flight mode.

For those who do not subscribe to a data package (3G, EDGE, GSM) or use the tab as a phone over a carrier (Rogers, Tmobile etc) you can disable this radio. When you disable this radio two things happen some of your icons will change.

On the stand-by screen you will get a message " No SIM card, Emergency Calls only"

Which if you do not have an activated sim card you see anyway.

Now -- the steps above disable this radio from trying to find a radio tower to bounce your call to. This may interrupt the A-GPS function of the tab, but you can always reverse my steps, and Turn on Radio later if you find it doesn't work as planed.

The sum-up

1 less radio from using your power, still allow use of Bluetooth and Wireless (wifi)

:)

Hi New-bee

I do not have a dock (sorry if I lead you on) but here are a few things you could try to determine if its (Overcome Gingerbread)

1. Did this problem occur with Froyo (aka 2.2 or Overcome 1.4-6.x) ? Y/N

2. Did you try the Video out with safe-stock-Gingerbread ? Y/N

3. Did the Video out stop working on upgrading to Overcome 2.0.0 b2 ? Y/N

If you have the time and patience, save your data, re-stock to 2.3.3 (gingerbread) and test the video out. If it does not work on the safe-stock version, it probably won't work in Overcome 2.0.0 B2. The the best answer from me would be to stay with 1.6.4 until Gingerbread has been fully tested.

Cheers.

Weird issue where apps don't start

Hi all,

I am experiencing this very vexing issue on one of my tabs: Applications will not start, randomly. Even on a fresh boot, I may tap on an icon 100 times and the app will not run. Be it the settings applet, widget selector, wallpaper list... you name it. And then, all of a sudden, stuff begins working again for a little while...

I will get a logcat as soon as I can...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] delovelady:
I have seen this since the new version of XDA Professional. On occasion, usually after I post, I will leave the XDA Pro application, only to find that nothing will respond to touch.

I haven't reported it because I'm loathe to report a non-reproducable issue. But it is a problem. Just not sure if it's THAT problem. (By the way, this is since 1.4x of Overcome... and definitely after latest push of XDA-pro. Nothing to do with this firmware, methinks.)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Yom:
Hmmm... the xda pro app? Easy enough to whack. I'll give this a whirl! Thank you!

I just figured this out myself too - working on getting a nicer notification pulldown for next release now...to enable the transparency you've got to:

1)	Decompile SystemUI.apk

2)	Navigate to smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar

3)	Open StatusBarService.smali

4)	Search for const/4 v0, 0x2

5)	Replace with const/4 v0, -0x3

6)	Save file and compile

After doing that you'll be able to use transparency on any of the images.:D

yeah man. you should've read what alterbridge did. that's what i did too. took me forever to figure this out -.-
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] 9812813:
JoeDoe

In the Zip file you D/Led at the beginning, there were 2 pdf docs.

Doc 1 - download / setup and backup / restore

Doc 2 - Tweaks which includes the GPS fix ..

Here is a cut and Paste

For Your GPS To Work Well:

a. Go into LbsTestMode by entering dialer code *#*#3214789650#*#*

b. In Application Settings, set the following options:

 Session Type: Tracking

 Test Mode: S/W Test

 Operation Mode: MSBASED

 Start Mode: Hot start

 GPS Plus: ON

 Dynamic Accuracy: ON

 Accuracy: 40

 GPS Logging: OFF

c. In SUPL/CP Settings, set the following options:

 -Server FQDN Type: Custom Config

 -Server: supl.google.com

 -Server Port: 7276

 -SUPL Secure Socket: OFF

 -AGPS Mode: SUPL

d. From the main menu choose Delete GPS Data

e. Close out of LbsTestMode, we're done!

f. Remember however, the first cold fix after flashing a new ROM WILL take a longer amount of time.

Subsequent locks will be lightning quick however 

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zaxondis:
@cnewsgrp

If you rooted your tab, just go to Settings - Applications - Then check off the box next to unknown sources then you can run the bootloader app.

(You shouldn't need root to do this btw but you HAVE to be root to complete this so you should do that first anyway)

I am waiting for ad hoc Wifi. Is it supported yet?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pawces:
latest release notes says it has EXT4 support. Does this mean it now formats the system internal and external sd to EXT4 by default when flashing the full Beta ROM?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] RichAP:
Tab about to die, but got 33.75 hours out of it with Wifi & 3G on!

Great work!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] knightnz:
It's a module and hence stored on the system partition, so it needs to remain as RFS so that the module can be loaded. Nothing is auto-formatted as ext4 and there's no point formatting the storage as ext4 as it won't mount and/or be readable by any OS except Linux.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mattman83:
Its nothing to do with reformatting the system memory as ext like we had under froyo, just that the os will now support the file system in general. We wont be able to move away from rfs until we get kernel source.

Also keep in mind its not in the current release either, those are notes on the next release so we know what features are coming.

GB Battery Life

Firstly, many thanks to Alterbridge and The Pitbull for another remarkable effort.

I thought that I would share my first battery life experience w and ith Gingerbread. I upgraded last Friday night from OC 1.6.3 to v2beta (following the Guide all the way). With battery at about 14%, I put the tab on to charge and started it up again early Saturday morning to go travelling. I did not calibrate the battery, reset stats, etc. as I forgot.

Since then I have had very light use with a few calls, some minor browsing, a couple of:D photos (one with flash), and a few games of angry birds and sudoku. Also, bluetooth was on all the time, as was account sync. When I got home just now (around noon Tuesday) I downloaded a screen shot app and captured the battery use screen which was at 7%.

I think its pretty good for a first charge after update, but others might like to comment, particularly the battery wh#re ;)

Sorry - upload failed, maybe I don't have enough posts yet. Stats show -

3d 5hr 52m 44s

Android sys 49%, Cell standby 17%, Bluetooth 17%, Dev idle 17%

I guess the screen off most of the time really helps.

EDIT: Got the screenshot to upload. Sorry about being sideways.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mattman83:
Bet you didn't follow the guide? Sorry but don't have alot of sympathy for people who refuse to follow basic instructions. You'll certainly be able to recover it but you'll need to follow the full install process as per the guides. Don't worry if your tab isn't being detected right now.... try boot it into download mode and odin should be able to pick it up from that point.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ravness:
Can someone confirm if Gingerbread turns off the UI while a video is being played on a TV that is connected to the Tab via RCA Cable? I can't see my subtitles at all in mVideoPlayer because of it. The UI is there on the Tab, but it seems to be off on the TV.

It was fine on Overcome 1.4.3, is there a setting for this in Gingerbread?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jacauc:
@alterbridge86,

Would it be possible to have ROM manager support for upgrades between different betas? Would make it a lot simpler.

Also, if I give you access to an ftp server, would you want to host the roms there too, as opposed to just having it hosted on rapidshare type sites? The reason for me asking this is because those sites are blocked in china, so when I am here I cannot access the downloads.

Rather inconvenient :(

Oh and Thanks for an excellent rom! No problems experienced (except for the Google music one) and great battery life!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jacauc:
Oh and needless to say, everyone else can use the same download server i will provide free of charge, no limits

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mattman83:
The problem is not the rom (or any intentional incompatibility), the problem is simply that the CWM that rom manager uses is TERRIBLE.

It's easy enough to not notice but rom manager does not actually load into the CWM installed with your custom kernel, it's got it's own generic CWM that it boots into. Problem is that it's not 100% tailored for all the different devices which can cause bad installs. I have seen a few bad installs on the Tab, but on my HTC Desire that I have spent more time with I've seen alot of horror stories.

M.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jacktackle:
looks like Samsung release a Gingerbread update for Galaxy Tab haphazardly. no major changes. even the dialer is the same as froyo. only thing what we have is, gingerbread applications are compatible.

is there any nice vdo dialer for SGT?

this gingerbread version is a joke! hope the dev's make some wonders.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mattman83:
It might hold ram, yes, but the OS will release it if needed for something else. Having nothing in RAM is a waste.

Android OS has very good memory management, trying to kill background tasks and using app killers etc just messes with at all. Just because an app is showing in memory does not mean that it's witholding resources from foreground apps.

M.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mattman83:
Sigh.. it's still the same version of Samsung Home, so yes, it's going to look the same. Under the hood though are new Android features, big performance upgrades and as you said newer app compatibility too.

Ask anyone who spent a significant amount of time on a froyo stock rom, and see what they think about this gingerbread update :)

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] njackson:
Absolutely. Much, much better in so many ways.

I don't want to complain and I don't have the time to read every post, but the OP says that the full install don't wipe the SD cards!

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jacktackle:
Thanks mattman, i like your signature :) plus i like your nature i.e. helping hand.

come back to the topic, we can never differentiate the performance as you see we always on alterbridge kernel for speed and boyppc roms for animations n eye candy. and now i feel like going back to boyppc ROM froyo 2.2 until the MIUI team is ready with its SGT Rom.

secondly, this version do not have a theme chooser. i need to install dinik icons which can be applied only through theme chooser and i could not get my hands over it any where. extracted from HD2 but that doesn't support SGT. i'm restless. damn! why am i not a developer :) ;) :P
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
The full install doesn't, the restock does ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ramboky:
Rant coming on...

Haphazardly how? Is it buggy? No. Performing badly? No. It works brilliantly if you ask me.

Samsung don't just take AOSP and throw it on the device, it takes considerable effort to get the code working reliably with a specific hardware set. Not to mention upgrading their custom apps. Do you have any idea how much work is involved in creating a device specific version of Android? You post suggests you don't have a clue.

I don't know about you but when I give something to someone for free and all they do is piss and moan about it I don't feel particularly compelled to give them anything again.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] njackson:
Probably (due to the GT file naming convention) the first post should have "External" inserted in front of the SD card that it says will not be wiped. However, the guide is quite clear that you need to backup as all apps and data will be wiped, see the extract below.

"AGAIN, BEFORE YOU PROCEED AHEAD… PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE NEXT STEPS AHEAD WILL WIPE ALL THE DATA IN YOUR SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE DATA INSIDE YOUR INTERNAL SD/THE INTERNAL STORAGE (I.E THE 16GB/32GB YOUR TAB CAME WITH!)

REMEMBER TO BACK UP YOUR DATA!"

We don't have to read all of the posts, but we should all read the installation guide that has been provided. :o

when you visit a webpage that uses ajax (or javascript) in order to autoload a part of the page, or simply the visited page contains a animated gif, the browser compsumes a lot of resources even if is in background (seems to me).

just had a noob thought, since i cant find any pics showing detailed innards of the GT - would it be possible to upgrade the internal sd card from 16 to 32GB?

JUST A THOUGHT, before i get shot for this... lol

Edit: just to clarify, no i dont mean the external micro sd we get to plug in...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
The internal sd card isn't actually a card, its a chip that's soldered forge board. That chip has a 16GB capacity and is partitioned into a 14GB block and a 2GB block. The 14GB one is mounted to /sdcard and is refered to as the internal sd card and the 2GB block is mounted to /data
