Hi guys!

Proud new owner of a 3G Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 this morning!

Rooted it and tested with root checker on market to see of everything was ok, and it is ! ;)

As you can guess, I really want to move out from this froyo 2.2 original rom, So I want to follow the installation guide but my question is : do I really need to buy an external SD card of 4GB minimum (instead of the 2GB I already own), to install this rom ?

Second question : do we need to install clockworkmod recovery before following the guide ?

Thanks! ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] edan1979:
Just follow the guide carefully... dont skip even one simple step... and all will be fine... you dont need to install clkwork as the first stock upgrade will come with it... just follow the guide.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] AndroidGX:
Ok many thanks ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
No... you do not need to buy an external SD card. My guide was written on the assumption that there's no external SD card (with the exception of the back-up part, where you should move the backup data to your PC or to the external SD card if you have one...)

And no... you do not need to install ClockWokMod recovery. All the things that you would require are listed for you within the guide.

Just follow it step by step, and do rush through it, especially this is your first time flashing a custom ROM on the Tab, and you should be fine. Each of the steps there is there for a certain purpose.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
Thanks mate for the confirmation!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
Whoohooo... I've just passed the mythical 10-hour mark! And with 8% left!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cad_2011:
nice battery life. going to charge up my GT and then run the battery calibration :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
The best part... I didn't use my usual calibration apps, like battery doctor/battery calibration app, for that little bit of extra oomph! This time, I just let it charge to 100%, boot up to CWM, and just wiped the Batt Stats...

This is completely from that charge cycle...

Hi everyone.

Anyone having a problem with flash sites in opera browser.

Yesterday I flashed the stock Gingerbread and tried Opera. all was fine.

Today I flash the overcome v2 and I have the strange issue where with flash sites I get little squares instead of text.

I already had this pb with overcome 1.4 an 1.6 but thought it was due to opera.

Now I'm pretty sure something is wrong with overcome.

here's a picture of the problem

anyone has a solution for this?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
That's addressed in the new FAQ section in post #3 :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
Have you tried uninstalling the flash app, either using Titanium/Root Uninstaller, and installing it again from the Market? Try this and let us know...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] OrionBG:
First of all I was just asking and not nagging to anyone! Second I've been flashing your ROMs since 1.6.0 and Never ODIN touched the Internal SD! I thought that this time won't be any different that's all! (I've also gone through the whole flashing guide!) I've restored almost everything so no biggie here. My post was more for discovering the reason for the IntSD deletion and for complaining! I've been flashing ROM for the last 6 years (since WM2003) so I've learned how to backup important things! The rest is in the Market!

I can't understand why you are so angry! I've just asked a simple question and about the other person that you mention, I've just told him that I mean the Internal storage and not the Micro SD card! I don't see anything rude in my post and certainly didn't mean it!

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] farahbolsey:
I think it's related to overcome that's why I post it here =)

Already did that and it didn't fix the issue
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alterbridge86:
If you used the stock safe package that was included with the guides since 1.4.x, then your internal sd would have been wiped. If you were using an older version you previously downloaded, then it wouldn't wipe your SD.

The reason for doing so is primarily because of Apps2SD. Some apps automatically get installed on the SDcard and don't get removed by the typical restock process. Also the system does tend to use the internal SD as a cache/swap space for a lot of actions. The wipe of internal SD ensures that any crap left behind by the previous install is eliminated.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
Alright... maybe I'm a tad cranky from lack of sleep, and it came across as being a tad too "demanding", but anyway, let's end this. Maybe I've been a bit too harsh. If that's the case, I'll apologise...

Anyway, alterbridge has added the movinand.mst file within all the stock safe ROM, from 1.4.4 and 1.6.2 onwards, and it's been thus ever-since. That's why the re-stocking always wipes the internal sd. As to the rationale: we've noticed that sometimes, in restocking without wiping the internal SD... sometimes, when apps are installed, they leave crap and cruft behind in the internal SD. As this was causing quite a bit of problems for a lot of users... we decided that in restocking, we'd rather everyone have a clean system/slate to showcase the ROM, rather than having crap gunk up the system...

Hence the constant reminders in the guide to back-up your data, and to move it somewhere safe, as it'll wipe the system!

Edit: ah... see that alter's answered it while I was answering it...! LOL! Anyway, I'm thinking of putting a clearer "Warning label" to prevent incidents like this from happening again...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] OrionBG:
I've had the same problem but uninstalling and then installing Flash again solved it for me! Try to uninstall, then reboot and then install it again.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] karfeef:
That worked for me =D

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
Don't ask... don't tell! ;-)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
Hmmm...ok that's weird...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] OrionBG:
OK Peace! :)

And thanks for the info! I'll have this in mind the next time I flash!

In the new Task-Manager i am not able to see Launcher pro as an 'active app'.

Any suggestions to make my default Launcher visible there?

I did it yesterday for the first time with your guide. Very well done that is all i can say. It actually leaves almost no questions open.

Thank you very much!

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] adrieono:
Yes it has the Readers Hub app.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] presariov3000:
Yes, it does.

Regarding some apps from market, it can be downloaded but did not installed directly. I have to reboot then it will automatically installing that apps. Eg adw launcher free. Anyone face the same issue?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zombolo:
Bump. Is it a bug or is it normal? Any workaround?

Thanks in advance.

Try restart your Tab, that solved mine.

I noticed strange battery usage.

In battery usage it shows "Android System" 83% !!!!

Is this normal ??

In Froyo the percentage was very small like 10%

When im on google talk doing voice, couldnt get video to work, and my screen turns off my tab locks up and google voice sounds like the tramsformers movie. Anyone else have this problem?

Anyone else finding that OC 2.0 Gold tends to pause when loading screens and web pages more frequently than RC1? I did a full restock when installing Gold.

Can someone help i am trying to get back to a original stock gingerbread and stock kernell when i try to flash in odin it wont flash something really messed up when i installed overcome i cant get back to a gingerbread stock i think its got something to do with the internal memory from ext4 back to rfs thats what it was moaning about help.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Byrana:
I get the same feeling. My tab just froze using maps. It did not react at all.

Also it feels like tab needs some time to wake up after turning screen on.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jutley:
does anyone know how to get back to stock gingerbread and stock kernell i keep getting a error media format not ready when i try to flash stock gingerbread i dont understand why i cant go back to a virgin gingerbread state from samsung.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] codington:
??

Good find - but I can't figure out how to do it. Schedule backups don't have the option to select Application Widgets. What did I miss? Running PRO ver 3.8.4.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] codington:
You are right - default fonts from STOCK and OVERCOME are different - despite the same name. I just copied DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf to /system/fonts and all is well again.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] julian.kueh:
Was thinking about rolling back to RC1 which was great. Any Dev input would be appreciated, thanks.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] delovelady:
Team Overcome: Excellent work, as usual. I did a full restock coming from RC1, and all went well. Youz guyz have done champion's work again, from the implementation through the testing, seems to me. With so much to go wrong (this is a complete system, with billions of application combinations), the list of problems seems relatively few to me. Kudos!

I'm doubly amazed since I was totally unable to run OC/UV kernel at all before without hard lockups every few minutes. While I realize this kernel lacks UV, I see the change as a measure of hope. I do struggle from time to time with brief moments (a few seconds) where the "freeze" effect seems about to take over, but then the system goes back to its old self. I'm confident this will be resolved - it's been mentioned enough!! - so it's a comment in passing.

Back when this GB firmware was new and the earth was still cooling, I had mentioned an issue with restoring from Titanium Plus, and I have discovered the issue this time. (This really belongs in the Applications discussion, but since it was mentioned here.... Oh, and this is a diversion from ThePitBull's guide, so he cannot be blamed.) When I create my Titanium backups, I do it directly to the external_sd drive, rather than to the internal so that I won't have to move them later. Titanium is all set up for that. When it comes time to restore, I reinstall Titanium, take the easy steps to specify the backup path, and get set for the restore. Except, what's this!?!?! The "Restore missing" option shows 0 objects to restore. That cannot be right!

It turns out that Ti's little brain cannot quite handle the change of backup directory in one step. Solution was to go to Manage Applications, and force-close the Ti Backup app. Then a fresh start of Ti showed all the objects I needed to restore, and the rest was exactly as per the guide! Just a small bug that should be simple for Ti author to fix.

Thank you, Team... Take heart from kind words and leave the... oh, I'll just say, 'cantankerous' ones to their methods. I strive (don't always achieve, but) to always remember the immortal words of Will Rogers: "Never argue with a fool because passers-by cannot tell you apart." 'Nuff said.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sebastie:
not for me, I have try restarting it when i notice this problem. The discharing problem still persist, I can only charge the Tab when it is power downed.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mattman83:
I never turn mine off, it charges just fine. Out of curiosity, which kernel are you running and did you restock to gold or upgrade from an older version?

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Dr Hotdog:
I'm having trouble with the re-stock step, I'm using the latest version of Heimdall (Odin not an option, I don't have Windows) but am unable to flash the 'hidden.rfs' and 'movinand.mst' parts of GB_Stock_Safe_v2, Heimdall fails to flash if I include them. Without them I end up with a Tab that gets stuck forever on the 'android' boot animation. Anyone managed to re-stock to GB using Heimdall?

on gold u cant hold it anymore , as its goin back not lockin down back button

Nice Job Overcome Team,Thanks

Hello Overcome Team,

just want to say thank you for this nice Rom....install went fine without any problem from RC1 to Gold....

so thank you very much for your hard work.

i would like also to share some Mode i did for the Rom,

changed icons,Glowing colors and added flying animation effect...(see pic)

if you like you could use the Zip..

flash through Recovery and when it is done Wipe dalvic Cache and cache partition.

do not forget to do back up first..

Good Luck hope you like it..
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Yom:
Sorry, I should have been clearer. In the list of programs and things to backup in TB, look for "Application Widgets". Tap it. Tap "Backup". Now go back and tap on the SCHEDULE button. Enable the first schedule, change it to "Forced redo of my backups" and set the job to reboot when backup's done. This job also catches any other apps you are already backing up.

Format/ data

Format/ datadata

Format/ sdcard

Format/ emmc

Format/ system

Is it safe to wipe all thease and try gb stock chainfires again via odin maybe this will wipe ext4.

I got this yesterday when I swapped SIM cards in my Tab, spent the afternoon rebuilding from Stock whereupon the Tab could detect the Modem properly - if you check the Settings/About you'll find there's nothing listed for Baseband Version.
