hmm...

what's that I see on the horizon?

It has a yellowish glittering colour

It shines...

It looks GOLDish

I wonder what that could possibly be

Counting down?! ... .. .

:D:p:eek:
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] OrionBG:
Somebody likes to tease us! :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mtbsoft.:
Are you saying that you're enabling the showing of images by default? If so can I ask why? Surely this is a bad thing - it is a known route for spammers to identify if an e-mail address is genuine (embed an image with a unique url linked to the address) and will increase downloads unnecessarily.

Sorry, but I think this mod is a stupid idea, display of images within e-mails should be as a conscious decision by the user, NOT the default on install.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Alvin Lai:
You can always not use this rom. You also have choice.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
the rom contains the programs, libraries and setting files that the author has decided.

when you install a rom, you can decide, what program is necessary or unnecessary for you. if don't like the rom: not install; if don't like a application: uninstall.

in this case, my opinion coincides with your opinion, but you can install a non moded version in two steps: 1) delete (moded) Gmail.apk from /system/app and 2) download normal Gmail.apk from market.

is easy, you can decide. is android! :-)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
Correct!

You can remove it and install the regular Market version

Alternatively we can have a patch that removes the modded one and applies the standard one- no big deal really

It is by no means something you can't undo or change
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
in my case, i have automatizated a script that applies my mods and i exec after flash the rom and before first boot.

is easy and simple :)

Hi. I might have missed it somewhere, but will Gold be based on 2.3.3 GB or 2.3.4?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mattman83:
2.3.3... we are still working on the italian released base, just tweaks, fixes and at last overcome kernel too :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mtbsoft.:
Interesting... I expected to get some responses and flames but it's disappointing to see noone actually address my main point of concern, that of the spam linked to images in e-mail and bandwidth usage. I had hoped to start a discussion on the merits of enabling images in g-mail by default, rather than a flame war on the merits of Android's flexibility.

To the staters-of-the-obvious, yes I know that I can overwrite the provided app via a variety of methods, but what of the noob who comes along in a couple of weeks with his new Tab - will this particular mod be visible enough for him to identify and evaluate?

I, for one, will be replacing this mod as soon as the rom is flashed on all my Tabs, I value my bandwidth and privacy more than seeing images in e-mail.

To those who feel the need, flame away, I've said my piece on this subject.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] joedoe:
Just discovered that Spare Parts compatibility mode doesn't work on this ROM --couldn't force the Open Table application to take whole screen.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] joedoe:
What image in email has to do with privacy?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mtbsoft.:
The spam issue - you view an email which has been sent by a spammer and downloads an embedded image which has a unique url linked to the e-mail address in their database. You have just confirmed your e-mail as a valid address for them.

This is the very reason why GMail (via a browser) offers the option to enable or disable the displaying of images by default.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
You can use Spare Parts Plus! which is designed for GingerBread and has more features than Spare Parts

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.droidgram.spareparts&feature=search_result
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
Nice. I do something similar :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
Agreed.

I cant understand why they would set images enabled by default, It doesnt make sense to me, b/w and privacy must take default, then if you want to enable them you can do so. Its much more common sense for them to be disabled by default rather then other way round.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
no problems with "spare parts"...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GOF007:
I'm sure that Gmail spam filter is good enough to filter out those spam mails :P
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
also, if autoload of images is enabled ever, and not only in wifi,

you can kill your operator data plan in a few days...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pendevous:
It's not really an issue whether gmail's amazing spam filter can filter them out or not. It's more about augmenting the safety of your email account and minimizing spams by disabling it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] luigi_sa:
apologies for the "rant" in advance...

the pros and cons to both sides of this coin are valid, dependent on perspective - some don't mind it on, some do mind.

i think we all need to agree to disagree, and, knowing its possible to "fix it" ourselves by removing the app and re-adding the market app, just leave the topic for each to make their own choice...

sorry about that! :p
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
mod

hi @alter,

the SystemUI.apk -> res/drawable_hdpi contains images that are

contained also by the framework-res.apk -> res/drawable_hdpi.

please, in this case, what image has preference? the included in

SystemUI or the contained in framework-res?

THX
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pendevous:
Agreed. It's a matter of preference. :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] delovelady:
There are appropriate forums for this worthy discussion. Android Devel is not one of those.

On topic: it was visible enough that you saw it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
No you are wrong. The place to discuss a ROM and any changes or issue should be addressed is in the thread dedicated to that ROM.

Its extremely silly to have viewing of pictures on by default on any email account yet alone a webmail one accessed from your smartphone the option should be a opt in and not an opt out situation (ie patch to make it happen not otherway around).

The point is extremely valid and you all should back off unless you have something helpful to say... of which none of the condescending posts thus far have even come close to looking maybe like they are worth the bandwidth taken to post them and retrieve them. You just littered the internet with your comments just like throwing a can in the street..please stop.

Security on smartphones is as, if not more, important than on your home PC. Its wifi enabled and you carry it EVERYWHERE. Its irresponsible for such gaping security holes to be left in place... I mean imagine if it was Microsoft patching your OS to enable all pictures to always have thumbnails shown.. no thanks.. identify (theft), online banking details, pictures, emails ect all carried on this little thing so a little more common sense is needed people.

Nobleskill
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Kraistus:
Actually this matter was/is heavily related to this ROM. I was under the assumption that we are supposed to discuss all matters related in this thread.

If all feedback for this ROM would be only positive, there would be a change that further development would possibly go in the wrong direction.

IMO this email -matter was a great feedback and I hope that the developers consider this aggordingly. I for one think that enabeling image downloads in emails by default is a bad thing. And I'm unable to see the positive compared to the negative.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
The Gmail Mod issue...

Ok. Enough emotions have been raised about this issue.

I understand the points raised about this issue, and I do agree with it from a security stand-point that it should be an opt-in patch rather than an opt-out patch.

However, the Gold release is already being seeded to our mirrors (almost half a TB of data for each server), and to be honest, AB86 is going to be off for long weekend away...he's literally at the airport right now!) So the choices are:

1) We delay everything to next week: so that we can replace the Gmail mod in the zip files, and upload everything again. And create an opt-in Gmail mod patch.

or

2) We release as is probably within an hour or two from now: with a patch to remove the Gmail mod and replace it with an unmodified Gmail app.

I for one, will vote for option 2, and will make it clear in the release notes (in big bright bold red letters about the possible security issues that some of you have raised... so that people who are downloading will take note. If they don't take note, they're problem!)

In subsequent ROM releases, we will make it an opt-in patch instead.

BTW, we're alright with the points being raised in this thread, though if you raised it on TOE, it'll be looked at more rapidly as the team is there more often.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Release now.

i can replace the Gmail with the market and upload to a server, if needed
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ssserpentine:
Option #2!!!

Its 4 am, been up all night. Like a kid waiting for santa to bring his christmas present.

Oh, overcome, ive been good this year.

:)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] karfeef:
Release the hot sticky goodness!!!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
Thld be a option 2 please.

B-) as always no disrespect is intended to the oc team. You guys do fine work...

The haters just need to stop hating!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kashortiexda:
+100000000000 you gotta love the above post - hot sticky goodness !!!! :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] chandradithya:
Hats off to you for helping me to learn the basics of flashing a Gingy rom which was modified perfectly :)

The tutorial was just perfect and helped me update my 1day old asian gtab. :)

But i've changed to CM7 beta now.

I really dont like samsungs modification to gingerbread.

But still your work is awsome for ppl who likes sticking to touchwiz :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nscosta:
Vote for option 2;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] luigi_sa:
Option 2, Please, i don't want to re-capture f6 to replace f5... OC rocks and i wanna play, santa...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Kraistus:
@pittbull

Really?! Do you need to ask what the answer is ;) ...option 2 of course!!

And it's perfect if this email option is included in the guide, and you provide the non-default option from the get go. Works for me.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
Lol wait what? Its not like its a physical place or something... the internet is great like that... you can be I all kinds of places all at the same time... new tab or new window and your away.. but I get what your saying...

Not to be rude or anything but I'm just wondering what the real motivation here is? If its to draw more of the noobs TOC's way then fair enough I guess.. I just hope that where the motivation ends...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ssserpentine:
I am srry to ask this here and now, but i cannot stop myself. Especially knowing everyone is hovering, just waiting for this awsomeness to drop.

I have looked but cannot get a answer to this.

Why, exactly, cant tablet tweaks be implemented?

Yeah, yeah. CM only. But why?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boraxx:
Option 1 definitely.

Security in my opinion outweighs usefulness.

Also don't forget that loaded-shown pictures are frequently the main cause of other security breaches on any device. Embedded code etc.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] stoney73:
Surely it would be solved by just replacing the modified app? as has been stated? Thus no big deal.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Buried:
Option 2, release as is, and fix later.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] luigi_sa:
Well, TOE's Downloads section is gone... im actually wondering how many of us are watching the space and are going to "crash" either TOE or Buluts mirror when the links go live... :P :D.

im not saying it isnt scary, but with the hyper twitchy fingers waiting, yeah well... good luck to us all!

If You Are On RC1 You Can Use The Updater For Today...

And Tomorrow Just Do The Clean Install :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
OK... will continue with the uploads then.

Prepping other stuff on TOE.

Due to the delay, and prepping the patches.

ETA: about 5 hours from now.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] delovelady:
Sheesh; I would expect that from someone whose native language was not similar to my own! I accept that we disagree. I do not accept that either of us is wrong.

Chill, OK?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Alvin Lai:
Wow, so relief. Thank you so much.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
five hours?

this is high speed broadband!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ssserpentine:
Am i drunk on eggnog, or did you just say 5 hours?

Cant wait go hear those sleighbells!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Alvin Lai:
5 hours from now?????????

that like forever for me.

Still got to wait. My wife will damn sure think I'm crazy.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
please, authorize @bulut.o for publish the mirror links now ;)

Anxiety attacks are on the way, get the gurney ready... my tickey ticker isnt going to last 5 hours of this adrenaline rush... time for a hubbly (no, im not sharing!!!), TRY calm down to a panic... hehe
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
Again no you are wrong...

You where wrong on this one mate. The statements you made to the poster where not relevant as this is the EXACT place to post the posts you tried to dismiss away. Sorry if I've offended you but frankly your attitude towards the poster of the gmail concerns was offensive to me so I guess we should call it even and move on yeah?

You have no idea just how chilled k am right now too btw.. lol ==*~'

Peace
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DiogoLamego:
I have a 500km journey to make, but wanted to know when they go to the new rom ... if it goes this afternoon, I still hope: P

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DiogoLamego:
oh :( to install this rom i will need wipe all things and do a wipe factory reset?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] grukko:
How about now? Just kidding ;)

Just sucks that I'll be at work when it comes out.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Bulut.O:
If you are on RC1 Than you could Update...

There Will be an updater too...!!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DiogoLamego:
good, i have a RC1 so i dont have install all again :)

now my problem is where i will go download the rom, because in 5 hours i´m stay in my other house and no have internet because stole the cables :S
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Bulut.O:
Its about 35MB...

Maybee You Can Use Your Data Plan For Downloading It...!!!

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mtbsoft.:
@thepitbull Thank you for your (as ever) considered and well thought out response and my apologies for stirring up this little s**t fight.

Given the high quality of your guides and your promise of a warning, plus the intention to change the patch in the future to an opt-in approach, I'm inclined to agree with your option 2 - after all, I wouldn't want to be responsible delaying the gold release, that much bad karma would hurt.

I haven't registered over at TOE yet as I follow a number of xda threads but, should I identify anything important again, I'll make sure to do so and raise it there.

Roll on Gold!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DiogoLamego:
ahhh ok so no problem...

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Alvin Lai:
35mb updater? Will we have the ext4 conversion? Just wondering.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kaipro:
i vote for 2nd option...:) let's try it if you hate to wait.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Bulut.O:
Yes... Check Changelog... EXT4 Is Integrated... Voodoo Lagfix too :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Alvin Lai:
Bro, how long more?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Bulut.O:
Pitbull Said ETA 5 Hours at Today, 12:56 PM

I Guess a Little Bit More Than 1 Hour To Go :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] shadow_empire1:
changelog does not really confirms if ext4 is "enabled" (kernel changelog)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] awitee:
i think what is stated in the changelog is that EXT4 is supported, there is nothing there that indicates that it would format to EXT4

but i read in a post a while back from pittbull that the new rom/kernel would convert it to ext4.. lets just hope so :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Bulut.O:
Trust me... IT DOES Convert To EXT4 :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] awitee:
yeah, i think so too, and we'll find out for sure soon enough!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] karfeef:
Bulut.0 knows for sure lol
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Alvin Lai:
Totally
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] edan1979:
malaysian time around 1 am... download it with our so called high-speed-berokband... go to sleep and wake up with a complete download... :eek:
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
Some updates

As a person who helps us mirror the files, yes, Bulut.O does have access to the latest files whenever we upload to the mirrors.

So, yes, the answer to your pressing question is:

IT DOES CONVERT TO EXT4... just like how it converts a RFS file-system to ext4 when you installed Overcome for the first time during the Froyo days. We're trying to keep the experience as similar as possible.

One thing to note, since you are all anxious for the files to drop, and since a majority of you will probably update rather than restock... there's this ext4 conversion bug that AB86 is still trying to squash properly. It's not fully fixed yet, but there's a workaround. So, before you update, it's required that you have at least 3GB of free space in your Internal SD card before you apply the upgrade.

Again:

Please make sure you have at least 3GB of free space in your Internal SD card if you're updating/upgrading!

NOT YOUR EXTERNAL SD/NOT THE 2GB STORAGE PARTITION, ETC.

If you don't have enough free space, to quote AB86: "Otherwise the ext4 conversion will crash and burn!"

If you re-stock using the new guide, you won't face this bug.

Anyway, for those of you who keep asking, "how long more, etc", would you just please stop acting like impatient kids? You're just wasting bandwidth.

I've already posted a rough ETA. The reason for this wait is that AB86 is currently sitting in an aircraft. Once he lands and is out of the plane, we'll do the final checklist and he should announce it after that.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GOF007:
The downloads are available now!!!!

Eh..... but the installation guide seem not available yet.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
That was a mistake on our part

Apologies

Taken offline again

Coming soon though so stay tuned!! :D:p
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jonamafun:
Will the ROMs contain the new kernel just like old Froyo versions?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
The Kernel will be installed as part of the ROM and will also be available to download separately
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Bulut.O:
Yes It Contains The Kernel 3.0
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GOF007:
O.o

Sound like I slipped in lol

Edit: Whats difference in Stock Safe V2?

New kernel ?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] stoney73:
Froyo sounds so dated now lol:p

Edit: I've only had my current keyboard 2+ yrs, and until now, I always thought that the F5 button didnt work because it was broken. I just pressed the 'F Lock' button and naturally the F5 now refreshes the page. Doh!

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pendevous:
Will the next part fix the laggy videos?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kaipro:
my quadrant = 1336 with 1.4 ghz.and smartass but seem so fast ... woooo
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
Check your Voodoo logs... I've got a feeling your ext4 conversion wasn't done properly. Especially in /dev/block/mmcblk0p2. If there's an error there, I'm afraid you'll have to do a full-restock to get the proper ext4.

All the testers are getting numbers >2000 in quadrant at 1.4ghz.

Either that, or you grabbed the wrong updater. When the download page was accidentally published, it was mirroring the test folder, where the original bug-filled early build of the updater was placed. The links to the proper files wasn't live yet.

There's a reason we do a checklist prior to release. And to release it with the proper installation notes.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GOF007:
You can look at us like additional lab rats lol
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kaipro:
555 i think maybe wrong file... but still faster than ever, really...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Bulut.O:
2156 On First Run...

Seems Ok To Me.. :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kaipro:
i also downloaded the full one. is this also maybe wrong one?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
Yup... I've double confirmed, as I was the one who accidentally "published" the page before it was ready (I was preparing to link them to the official files!) and now taken down. The links you had were to the older test builds.

The problem now is, you're having a "hybrid" file-system: half ext4 and half rfs. It'll get extremely buggy going forwards - the file system will get extremely laggy as time goes on.

You'll have to restock to get your system back on track.

To those who have downloaded, I suggest holding back, unless you want to re-stock later... which is not a bad idea.

Anyway, to those that have downloaded and updated. Please do not clutter this thread with unnecessary posts and reports about it. They're buggy. We know. I won't comment further on them after this
