[Hero, G2 Touch General] mg.degroot:
There are a few Android 2.3 roms out now, but from what I read the fastests and most reliable ones are the 2.2 roms. The EliLinux variant is one that I like (both 2.2 and 2.3), but there are more.
[G Tablet General] clemsyn:
I thought that the latest bootloader released was locked only for official ROM. This seems inaccurate since I was able to install my Combo in the bootloader (with edited zimage) and I also have more voltage and frequency as a result for my PimpMyGtab.
[G Tablet General] aasoror:
I don't think its inaccurate, its just wrong.

IMHO, the bootloader shouldn't be an issue (at least from the end user perspective), with some time invested in getting the 1.1 ROMS working with 1.2 bootloaders (like pershoot suggested in that other thread, a process that apparently needs further debugging right now), everyone should be able to migrate to 1.2 bootloaders (even if its an end user procedure where users repeatedly overwrite the 1.1 kernel in the 1.1 ROM with a 1.2 compatible one).

If this is resolved, the question would then be, "is there a good reason for anyone to keep 1.1 bootloaders on their devices?"
[G Tablet General] clemsyn:
It took me three reboots but everything is working fine with my COMBO. No issues or whatever. I didn't even make any changes in the ROM part..only in the kernel. I can even restore my data partition from 1.1 :)
[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
Will you be releasing a 1.2 based kernel for those of us not running your combo?
[G Tablet General] ptgptg:
"I also have more voltage and frequency as a result for my PimpMyGtab."

For those of us who are idiots, what does this mean and why is it good (assuming it is)?

Sorry to ask what is probably a dumb question, but I figure if the Kernel maker is saying it, it must be important.
[G Tablet General] aasoror:
This is great news clemsyn, can you enumerate the setup process ?!

- nvflash with 1.2 bootloader image (refer to robeets contributions).

- in recovery flash the 1.1 ROM.

- in recovery flash with 1.2 compatible kernel (like your's or pershoot's).
[G Tablet General] SoNic67:
Great news! I was under the same impression like you.

But, in the light that VS pulled out the new loader... I don't know what to say, what I would like more.
[G Tablet General] clemsyn:
Here is the procedure

1. nvflash with 1.2 bootloader by roebeet (4329 regular or 4329 Honeycomb version)

2. Update CWM with compatible booloader

3. Flash ROM (I used my combo)

4. Flash kernel for 1.2 bootloader (I used the froyo version posted in my thread on Slatedriod)

5. Reboot

Then it will most likely hang about 3-4 times, just keep on rebooting and everything will be functional :)
[G Tablet General] magqccom:
@Clemsyn

Is the only difference between the 1.2 bootloader and the 1.1 one that it requires a kernel with 8 voltages levels define instead of 7? Are there any other differences between a froyo kernel and a gingerbread/honeycomb one (besides the accompanying ramdisk). They all seem to be 2.6.32.xx.

Just wondering.
[G Tablet General] ramerco:
Can you elaborate on step 2. It seems like Step 1 would include CWM recovery.
[G Tablet General] joeamateur:
Clemsyn,

Please check. I think it is 4349, not 4329. :)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retznto:
I've been having problems with a sense 2.1 skin I modified, it appears to be causing the settings application to fc.

The original version of the skin didn't crash the settings dialog (afaik), and all I did was modify some of the images. I signed it on linux using the signapk.jar from the auto sign zip.

If anyone has any ideas what I could do to try and debug this (or what might be causing it), I'd appreciate the help.:)

I uninstalled my version, and installed the original, and settings appear to work fine. My version (with the modified images) is causing it to force close.

Could it be something to do with one of the images, or would it be more likely something like the way I signed/packaged it?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
the ROM is deodexed?

i think can be problem with odex/deodex files...

odexed files are incompatibles with themes,,,,,
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retznto:
I was a bit unclear, sorry :P

I meant a skin (for sense 2.1). AFAIK, it shouldn't matter whether the ROM is odexed or not for the sense skins. It's also odd that the original version of the skin I edited (CommonSense 2.1 from the skins thread) works fine, whilst the version I packaged/signed (with the modified images) doesn't. (Suggesting I did something to the theme to break it, rather than a compatibility issue)

I will try out re-signing the original theme when I get home, just to make sure it isn't a problem with the signapk jar.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retznto:
I have solved the problem :D

I traced down the problem using logcat, to see what happened when the settings force-closed.

Caused by: org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: Binary XML file line #2: <nine-patch> requires a valid 9-patch source image

As I have never done anything with themes before, I assumed I could just open the image in GIMP, edit it, save it and be done. Turns out I needed to put it through the draw9patch tool in the SDK first.

Ah well, that's what you get for not reading the documentation :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
What was your impression about the new update 2.3.3 ?

[Galaxy Tab General] webali:
Have you?
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I am very impressed by the Gingerbread update - no problems thus far and it is blisteringly fast. Even the stock browser is epically quick

Much kudos to Samsung! I feel like I have a brand new device.

My only issue - the Swype spacebar in portrait is too small.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
yupy i taste it and its awesome :)
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
yes right

also the keyboard is still same right ? Samung Keyboard i mean

i didn't notice any different from the old one

[Galaxy Tab General] fleurdelisxliv:
hold up is this for all galaxy tabs or just a certain carrier :confused:
[Galaxy Tab General] Slave1:
Dave, have you got a TMUK model? I can't see any update in Kies.
[Galaxy Tab General] Flokey:
Things that the Rom-devs have to fix:

screen-off animation

VOIP Support

Tablet-goodies from CyanogenMod :D

But it is smooth and so far... I like it :)

The new google Music app crashes though -.-

But I gott google Talk with voice and video up and running

(instructions here)

With some issues though, but check it out
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
u mean the music hub or what cuz i can't see any different between the music app on 2.2 or in 2.3.3

but as far its fast and good :) feel like something new ( new tab ) :))
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
What are the majour changes (in google mods and samsung mods - have samsung kept the nice wifi icon from stock)
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:

wifi icon still the same with different color :)

but i ensure u . its fast , good , stock rom i ever seen :D

there is many things change already :)
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
No, mine is an unbranded tab that I updated via Chainfires ROM manually.

As far as I'm aware, this hasn't rolled out part Italy via kies.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] Katavic:
Does GPS works with 2.3.3?
[Galaxy Tab General] aibo:
The rom is fast. Flash videos in 720p are smooth. but I find one problem the light on the the keys doesn't turn off, only if the screen is also off. Is anyone having the problem as me?
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
yes everything is working its official rom :)
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
i never focus on the keys light either on 2.2 :D .

i don't know about this :)
[Galaxy Tab General] TheATHEiST:
Cant wait to flash and have a look (too drunk at the moment).

btw, this isnt really a proper poll, you dont leave much choice to choose from.
[Galaxy Tab General] killerapl:
Does this update work for verizon tabs??
[Galaxy Tab General] erickson813:
is this really an OFFICIAL ROM?

did they roll this out in France?

i can't see it in Kies. i have a Unbranded Tab and it says

THIS VERSION OF THE DEVICE CANNOT BE UPDATED

hers is my tab info.

PDA: JJ7

PHONE: JK5

CSC: JJ3
[Galaxy Tab General] Jepe58:
its not a bug - its a feature ...

So you can see the LEDs even when you not tab on the screen.

I like it.

Every gingerbread version has it.
[Galaxy Tab General] Flokey:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.music <- no, this one :)
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
Ill let you know in a month, every brand new rom flash feels amazing and fast.

[Galaxy Tab General] FabioMC:

[Galaxy Tab General] FabioMC:
I mean. Like cm7 nightly on desire.
[Galaxy Tab General] ssserpentine:
I had to redownload all gameloft games. Sometimes starting a game causes my system to freeze up and I have to do a hard reboot.

Cant wait for ov/uc kernel.

Soon we can have a proper google voice.

Great rom!

Happy to move forward and not be stuck at 2.2.1
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
What do you think, we only got 2.3 yesterday

Facepalm

swyped from a galaxy far far away...
[Galaxy Tab General] prinzhernan:
Official rom pushed from Kies in Italy. Everywhere else, none.
[Galaxy Tab General] RigelKentL:
I've seen the guide from the android development forums on how to upgrade to 2.3.3, since this is my first post here i cant post yet in development forums and I think ill try asking here, my questions are :

1. my baseband version is P1000DXKM1, can i still move to 2.3.3 using the guide posted in the development forums.

2. Do i get to keep my data / programs / etc? Or do i have to reinstall them over again?

3. Reading from the gingerbread guide I saw someone mention that gameloft games dont work anymore in gingerbread, anybody tried this or can verify this?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
You Lose everything, but just restore a ti backup without system data and you should be sweet, not sure on the game loft games. Its most likely gamelofts priblem

swyped from a galaxy far far away...
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
yes it is a official rom :) rolled out in italy :)
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
i can't install it , from the site cuz am in malaysia ;( they act like VEVO on youtube damn

can u PM with direct download link?
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
ok then can u PM me with the choices u want ? cuz i think 2 choices its enough

but am fine to accept any choices the members ask for it :)
[Galaxy Tab General] RigelKentL:
Thanks, will definitely try this one out!
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
if u wan backup ur gameloft .. just use ti backup normally

but cut the folder from ur tab ( gameloft ) to ur computer and later return it :)
[Galaxy Tab General] speldenaar:
First time im posting on xda. Would like to thank all devs for their patients replying noob questions over and over again. And more for posting and creating their roms and kernels. Im flashing for a while now (cm7, modaco, overcome, boyppc) and now FINALLY GINGERBREAD. I'll be sticking to stock 2.3.3 because it really feels nice. Hope i can answer some questions to others in the future.

Had hopes that this rom would bring back my front-camera, which isn't working since i began flashing, but unfortunately it didn't.

I flashed straight from overcome kernel and boyppcV4 without going to stock first (shame on me) but it worked. Keep up the good work yall and lets hope we'll be flashing ice cream sandwich on our tabs one day. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab General] Sneekapim:
Does anyone regret updating to 2.3 from oc'd overcome?
[Galaxy Tab General] kojoebc:
Got Overcome 2.00 Beta.

Has a nice screenoff animation and a nicer boot up sound.

The text picker is a little bit different and the keyboard too!

animations seem to be smoother and faster

quadrant showed a score of 1010 (overcome 2.00) or 1000 (stock 2.3.3) with overcome 1.6.4 (android 2.2.1) i had 1900 points.
[Galaxy Tab General] olaf bosch:
regret is.too harsh, but if I knew.upfront that the difference between oc and 2.3.3 isn't a quantum leap (i.c. still a phone os) I would have skipped this.update.and be waiting for.an oc versiin of it. rfs still isn't my fav fs.

thanks tough to the magnificant devs here at xda!!!
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
Can we have screenshots
[Galaxy Tab General] kojoebc:
until now not really. although quadrant shows less points with 2.3.3 it feels muuuch faster!
[Galaxy Tab General] Sneekapim:
And how about sliding or browsing lag? Is that imroved even without oclf?
[Galaxy Tab General] kojoebc:
hmm.

everything is very fluent. change from landscape to panaroma is more smooth.

stock browser seems to be okay. used dolphin browser before, so cant really tell if it is still lagging!
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
am glad that ur 1st comment is on my thread :)

about ur camera issue .. i think its bricked u need to take to samsung and let them fix it for u.

tnx for the comment :)
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
there is some ppl said that the stock browser is more fast and no bugs till now
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
Is hmv.com still laggy on stock browser (full site)
[Galaxy Tab General] tigercorp:
I upgraded from stock 2.2 using ChainFires instructions with no issues at all, very painless process. Considering it was my first rom/kernal flash I was very happy with the outcome :)

It feels much smoother than 2.2. The stock browser it at least as fast as Dolphin HD (perhaps even slightly faster) which was definitely not the case before. Screen transitions, the Gallery, are all noticeably smoother.

Only 2 negatives I've found so far are the leds staying on unless the screen is turned off, which is mentioned by earlier posters.

The biggest issue for me is the now poor wifi connection. I work from home so I know for sure where I should have good/bad reception, and now it's terrible. Not sure what I'm going do here...
[Galaxy Tab General] tigercorp:
lol, hmv.com is laggy on my desktop nevermind the Tab :)
[Galaxy Tab General] erickson813:
@prinzhernan and k0sh. thanks guys!

that's to bad only in Italy!

i haven't tried rooting my tab.

big Q is rooted tab can get the update?
[Galaxy Tab General] tigercorp:
Another thing missing is the eBook reader which is a shame as I used it a lot.

Does anyone know what reader it actually was?
[Galaxy Tab General] stoney73:
do you mean this one? http://www.mediafire.com/file/d3wk8243259940t/Ebook.apk

just copied it from my tab running overcome GB
[Galaxy Tab General] tigercorp:
Thanks for that!

That't the definitely the app but for some reason it won't install. Just get an "Application not installed" message. I wonder if it's got something to do with wanting start at boot? I'm a noob at this, but have tried it with the CMW Manager and got the same result.
[Galaxy Tab General] qdba:
The ebook reader is still there...
[Galaxy Tab General] peacekeeper05:
Nope. it runs very very smooth.

it has that ipad/wp7 bouncy effect. and runs flash a bit better now.

i have yet to encounter a full site that will make my gb stock browser lag.

huge improvement from 2.2

i think this has the same browser galaxy S 2 has.
[Galaxy Tab General] stoney73:
No problem. you cant 'install' it like a normal app. it has to be placed in system/app.

If you have a file manager(root explorer/estrongs file manager) just copy it to system/app and reboot.
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
just run checkfus on the itv one and it says

[Galaxy Tab General] olaf bosch:
same here - all stock appls are showing.
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
yes u can flash it as far as ur tab is not locked and its p1000 not p1000/N,L

am not really sure about it , but u can post ur build numebr and firmware etc
[Galaxy Tab General] tigercorp:
And now its back. Thanks again!
[Galaxy Tab General] jperson81:
I did get 2.33 running on my Tmobile SGT flashed fine, did not brick however it lookslike it installed the phone APK for some reason now it will only run on edge network. dont understand why they have a phone APK in an official Tablet build.
[Galaxy Tab General] nightside_eclipse:
This was probably taken from the official Italian release (the only region that has so far gotten the upgrade), and European Tabs are phones as well as tablets.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Most of the SGTs outside the US have phone functionality, so by flashing the Italian ROM you have gained this. However, you have also lost 3G because the radio has been upgraded to a version that doesn't support TMo US AWS frequencies.

Is tethering work?

Am I the only one not having USB tethering working in 2.3.3?

I have Ubuntu complaining about some " ... bad descriptor ...":mad:
[Galaxy Tab General] jperson81:
no I can only get kies to work when tethered.
[Galaxy Tab General] jperson81:
So is there anyway to fix this other than waiting for the US rom?

Can someone make a video and a review of gingerbread on this tablet , I am considering buying it . Pleas and Thank you .
[Galaxy Tab General] TakenName:
Love the update.. Fast and nice.. Was strugling a little while updating.. Had a couple of bad flashes.. Probabely due to being ext4 when I tried to flash it..

Reflashed 2.2, then 2.3 and all was good..

Only bad thing... No Norwegian localization on it for some reason.. :(
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
I bloody love Gingerbread. Hoping at some point someone integrated some CM7 features into a rom. But I'm happy wwith it :D

Movie License problems

Hi,

I only flashed the stock rom 2.3.3 and started exploring and testing.

Noticed some, of the movies I received free from Samsung movies when I purchased my Tab are failing to acquire a license after the update. Some are still working fine. Cleared licenses via Licence settings and they reacquire. Does anybody know what the Samsung movie DRM is keyed to? Is it just the IMEI number? Is anybody else having problems with movies not acquiring licenses after updating to 2.3.3?

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
how u don't know whether ut tab is locked or unlocked ? ? ? ?

i forgot the code now to check whether is locked or no .

but if u can change between sims in ur tab means like u use another carrier its mean u are save and u can flash the gingerbread :)
[Galaxy Tab General] kryp2nyt:
tried to update, from UAE.

I only got another FROYO build, there were no gingerbread for me...am i missing something ?
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
yes u missing to grab the gingerbread update from XDA and flash it :) cuz

only italy get the update ...
[Galaxy Tab General] kryp2nyt:
hi, and thanks for your reply :)

mmm...am a bit scared to do the entire odin thing, as i fear languages will go (my tab supports arabic and english)

besides, am not so experienced with odin, the guides i read so far here are so...top of my mind :D

kies worked great for me, plug in, update, then wait for a reboot...thats it :)

however, if the odin was a bit simpler, and doesn't take out the language pack, then i'd be willing to risk for it, am cool with it.

any suggestions ? :)
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
hey am also would like too support arabic :) am also arabic am just study in different country ...

odin is very easily actually . but u aware of losing the arabic package yes u'll lose it , as no support now for the arab language . :) ..

for me i don't use the arab language as am not use in :)

its ok if u wan wait but u have to wait too long and trust me u'll wait a long time :) to get the update from samsung on kies
[Galaxy Tab General] kryp2nyt:
then i believe i must wait for samsung to do their magic to us, the arab world :)

the new froyo build, however, is much faster and responsive ! So i'll play with it for the time being, until GINGERBREAD is rolled out here to the UAE.

ill keep watching online to see any news regarding that.
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
okien .. if you got the download .. i would like to inform me also , and maybe later u can pass it to me :)
