thats all,you can send arabic and persian sms with any keyboard that have arabic characters

better put this note to faq, i,m sure anyone use arabic patch, have this problem
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] shazoom:
Its not a hack but you can do that with an app called "unlock with wifi". I looked for a bit for this too. The normal behaviour is infuriating, at least without screebl.

HELP...! need help installed hermes over gold days before ( almost a week) ... everything went well...

using volage ctrl since then ... -75 across ... no probs yet ( only some only some hangs or reboots.)

Today the tab got hanged... now facing a boot loop over the overcome experience... stuck over there... tried to even clear voltage settings... but no luck..

Still have recovery acess...

still can go to download mode..

I dont have a backup of my data please help... I didnt played with any of the settings these days..:confused::confused:
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] MrKite4:
Is anyone is experiencing faster battery drain after flashing the Hermes edition? Whe I was running gold the battery didn't drain this fast, I could go almost 2 days without having to recharge it, but now by the end of the night I'm down to 5%. I did the battery recalibration amd gave it a few day but still no improvement, the gold edition was great with battery life from the start.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
Try wiping cache and dalvik and see if it fixes the issues. If no go then Try flashing the overcome kernel via odin or cwm (mount SD card in recovery and copy kernel to it). If it didnt work you are only left with restocking and reinstalling.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
You should probably check if any of your apps or settings are draining your battery. Battery life on Hermes is MUCH better than Gold due to kernel enhancements. This has been tested and then later reaffirmed by most Hermes users.

I have to learn how to use this overclocking / undervolting stuff. I already posted a question about how to use these features and what are the meaning of the different profiles in the Q&A section but no one answered. I guess I have to jump in and learn it the hard way.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dx.varun:
Nope didnt solved anything....! flashed the kernel No luck.. ..please i need to backup contacts and messages... please....

can i try lag fix or any other thing... please help
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ahmadshawki:
Ok, what is your secret? SO, all of you are getting this? I don't understand anything when I open the "setcpu" or "voltage control" apps. Someone has to teach me this kind of stuff. What is the difference between the different profiles? Is it better to use "Setcpu" or "Voltage Control" or both? What does -20 and -75 mean? What does it mean when someone says at 1400 I have -20? What are the magic settings? How do I start testing? If I put some settings (whatever they are) but let's say -50, and then I want to try a more battery saver, should I go for -75 or -25? I can understand ondemand but what the hell do the conservative and smartass settings mean?

I know that's a lot of questions, but you have to help me. I use the Tab a lot but all I'm getting is less than 12 hours with heavy usage and may be 15 to 16 with normal usage. Still, I don't use GPS at all and I don't have a 3G connection. May be I should disable the 3G modem or something.

Anyway, if someone has a user manual or a start guide, please direct me to the right path. Thanks in advance...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] oddball69:
This little tip is from the Overcome site ;)

IF YOU’RE STUCK IN A BOOTING LOOP, BOOT TO THE CWM RECOVERY > ADVANCED >WIPE VOLTAGE SETTINGS! THAT SHOULD CLEAR THE VOLTAGE SETTINGS TO THE DEFAULT -0mV.

And then it should work i think.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dx.varun:
i never used uv as boot settings... 2ndly wiped uv settings more then 5 times... lol wtf??
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
He tried that already. If not then shame on you for lying to me :p your final resort is trying to flash the no wipe version. That should in thoery help you retain the data.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] oddball69:
Hmmm, silly question but...... is it charged ??

Test to take out the Sd-Card, if you have one.

Then it is the usual things to do , like start with flashing stock etc....
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dx.varun:
wiped uv settings even before posting here and severel times after..lol.. ---> no luck

have kernel flashed ... --> no luck..

will go for a no_wipe version... weird process... but will try and get back
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pendevous:
mV = millivolts if I'm not mistaken. It's the voltage used for the specific CPU clocking. As for SetCPU and Voltage Control, I see no point in using SetCPU anymore since VC already allows you to overclock as well. Conservative means you conserve your battery. Smartass is an ass in battery consumption, but is very powerful and smart.

I already put my settings in a thread here somewhere for Voltage Control, but each silicon is different, so my settings may or may not work for yours.

Another secret? I set my brightness saving feature under settings -> display to on, and my brightness is at a constant 65%.

I also use Advance Task Manager Free to stop any misbehaving apps in the background. Moreover, I only have 2 homescreens, and I only have 1 widget.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dx.varun:
NO LUCK WITH THE NO_WIPE VERSION... exactly same stuck on boot logo overcome experience and boot loop...

dnt knw what the hell went wrong and where.. was working fine from last many days...

even nw m afraid to flash via odin.. dnt knw y...

Never came across this kind of prob b4 in any of rom... wtf??
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
Your best bet is to read as much of this thread (yes I know it's awfully long) as possible.

The general rule is that there is no general rule.

Every Tab responds differently to different settings so what works for someone else may not work for you.

One word of caution: there have been various confirmed reports of erratic behaviour when changing voltage settings with the current Hermes kernel. This is being fixed in the coming release so you could read up and experiment and also report your findings :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] MrKite4:
Whats the best way to see what apps could be draining my battery?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] A.G.:
Since I don't seem to be able to solve my VPNC-issues and noone here seems to have any idea as well, I'm playing with the idea of reverting to Gold.

The problem is: where can I still download it? The Overcome-site only lists Hermes.

Edit: I have just found out, the I only suffer the VPNC-issues when connecting through GSM. Using WiFi, the connection remains stable. Could this then be a modem issue?

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kmrdeva:
Sorry, I saw your posts too late. I had a similar bootloop problem before when I played around too much with setcpu and set things to apply at boot. Used adb shell from the pc while the tab was in cwm/recovery to access my tab and removed the setcpu APK then all was good. Maybe this could have worked for you (removing the offending app via adb).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] see_u_then:
I have Galaxy Tab from US TMobile. Still on stock rom. Rooted it and installed the correct drivers. Tested that I can start ADB shell and put/get files.

Installed and ran Bootloader Patch. It says:

"Bootloaders - YOU ARE SAFE

Not signed: PBL, SBL, SBL_Backup, Kernel

Assessment: Can flash anything"

Does this mean that I can proceed with the installation of v2.0.1?

Also is there a way to reinstall the stock rom if I need to restore it for warranty purposes?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cgigate:
why not simple to try!

restore to stock rom is easy if the tab is alive
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
Read up.

Yes you can flash Overcome.

Take a full backup before you proceed.

There are many ways to backup.

Rotobackup will keep a full system image backed up incase you decide to go back to factory condition later

CWM less than functional after upgrading to Hermes

Strangest thing. After installing Hermes Nowipe through CWM, Recovery mode still works but seems to have lost some menu-options, like for instance installing a ROM from SD. It also reports mounting-errors.

Does this ring a bell with someone of you? What went wrong here? What is causing this?

[SOLVED]

After some toggling with the Clockworkmod ROM-manager everything is peachy again.

Had to flash ClockworkMod Recovery a few times and saw the orange and green CWM-Recovery editions (versions 2.5 and 3.0 if I remember wel) looking back at me in this trial-and-error toggling process.

From the green edition I was able to flash Hermes again and low and behold: the beautiful celestial mountains of Hermes appeared! Everything seems to be working fine and what a fast little bastard this ROM is, isn (s)he? My GT finally running proper. Kudo's to the Overcome-team!!

And by the way: Recovery now boots up errorfree in CWM 4.x mode.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] oddball69:
What memory size ( internal memory ) do you have on your tab ?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cgigate:
it is normal. it means the ROM V2.0.1 HERMES VERSION is not suitable for your tab.

I had same issue for at&t tab, reload CFboot 3.3 to save the life
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
Not sure if this got suggested but try disabling voodoo in cmw, and let it convert your file system, then renable it and see if after that conversation it will boot. It won't boot with voodoo off but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the hang was the first reboot since flashing Hermes?

I had a weird experience after first reboot on Hermes. Weird enough I only pm'd ab86 about working it out as I thought it could be related to something else and didn't think any more of it untill I read your post..... just a lightbulb moment if you follow... Would be keen to know if this fixes it for you?

I have the ff. screens set up:

1: 4 Elixir widgets of device statuses & toggles, active apps widget + 7 apps

2: 1 calendar widget (colorize), 1 agenda widget, 1 to-do list widget + 7 apps

3: 1 scrollable news widget, 1 bookmarks widget (colorize) + 7 apps

4: home screen, only 7 apps

5: messaging and contacts widget (both colorize)

6: Facebook widget full screen scrollable (colorize)

7: Twitter widget full screen scrollable (colorize)

I have no main dock bar but have a hidden one holding 7 folders. Using adw launcher ex locked to portrait mode, normal scroll animation, scrolling app drawer. 3g is always on, bluetooth is on about 8 hrs a day.

Battery life is about, 10 hrs continuous use browsing/games. I estimated this by browsing and gaming continuously for 3 hrs and lost less than 30% Nothing spectacular but better than stock i think. Stand by i dunno, maybe 30-40 hrs? never let it sit idle, too much to do on it hahaha.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ahmadshawki:
I guess I read your settings somewhere. I tried them yesterday and they gave me a couple of hours over a day. Thanks a lot for the advice. Now, if I want to increase the battery life and decrease the consumption, I should make the -50 slide to -100? That's just an example to demonstrate. Is that right?!! Also, If I'm setting the CPU to 1000 max and 400 min, does it matter if I change the voltage for lets say the 1400?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] josephkh:
3. Reboot into CwM and wipe caches (optional but recommended)

Thank you Darkpall. I thought wipe cache no longer needed beacuse HERMES will take care of that.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] wintermute000:
I'm guessing VPNC is some kind of VPN, if so then I'm guessing its an MTU / frame or packet size issue re: encapsulation in 3G. Its probably being fragmented as it goes into 3G and hence rendering the VPN headers invalid. Just a guess
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
What needs to be added to that?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Alvin Lai:
Using interactive cpu, battery really amazing. Will see for another few days
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] patomas:
I use VPNC as well. Tried now with 3g and it works ok.

Signal here is good (hdspa). I'll try with slower networks and let you know (it happened to me before even with other devices that the connection couldn't established with edge or gprs) .
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] A.G.:
Hi! Do you use Cisco-VPNC? I do and therefore have to jump through somne additional hoops to make it work.

My problem is not that the connection can't be established through GSM. It can, however it seems to disconnect after a few seconds (5-10) without any visual indication. For a more detailed description see my post below.

Also I always use a 3G- or HSDPA-connection with the above results. I have just tried 2G for completeness' sake and it's about the same, only that the hang occurs already on the login-screen instead of the desktop due to the connection being so slow. :D

In any case, since it works with WiFi, it can not be an issue with the server or my settings.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] csasek:
I believe that this is using the latest stock firmware. In the instructions it says that you need to be on the GB ROM before flashing the new ROM so first you are flashing the stock GB ROM then you are flashing the Overcome GB ROM.

I'm downloading now but it's slow for me. Funny this hits right when I told myself that I flash ROMs too often and need to just be happy with what I have. Looking forward to this.

Follow the guide. If you're re-stocking through odin you can flash it over the top of anything. Back up the contents of your internal SD too, it normally wipes that as part of the process.

You have 2000 posts but still don't understand why it's important?

Even aside from the junk left behind on internal SD, you've also got persistent system settings which can really mess things up badly. It'll more than likely boot, but expect it to be FC city.

Check first post ROM INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

Download the installation guide attached to this post. If you are already running Gingerbread AND have the CF-Root kernel installed you can put the installer on your SD card and flash away. IF YOU ARE NOT ON GINGERBREAD YOU MUST FOLLOW THE GUIDE. FAILING TO DO SO WILL SCREW YOU UP BIG TIME
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] maxtcee:
I say its much smoother but still getting pixels lagging with stock browser
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mattman83:
In my limited experience init.d is mostly used for data2sd, a2sd style scripts. Given you don't need one with the galaxy tab it's not there.

I have the same thing on my desire rom, doesn't have any a2sd (by choice) and no init.d needed.

M.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Chainfire:
This ROM uses CF-Root... see the CF-Root thread.

init.d is supported by CF-Root ... you just have to make the folder and put the files there (in the exact right way)

A few Q's (probably forthcoming FAQs?)

Are the post-installation GPS tweaks still required?

Am I correct in thinking that this will revert the internal filesystem back to RFS as opposed to ext4?

Do we expect Samsung to release the kernel source in a timely fashion or it likely to be another long wait?

Thanks very much for putting this package together Alter.

Init.d folder is for initialization scripts that run at boot up. They are support by cf-root kernel, so if you have any you want to run feel free to add. At this time there weren't any necessary IMO ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alterbridge86:
The intructions do say you HAVE to do it, unless you fall in the exception of having gingerbread and cf-root running already.

If you try and flash this directly over 1.4.x or 1.6.x you will not boot, I guarantee it, we tried ;) gingerbead requires new bootloaders.

Arabic Partial Fix

I have used a script that was built by MadMack in:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=985504

it have fixed the arabic charecter shapes with RTL adjustment, it works in all applications (contacts, sms, fb, etc...) but the browser and gmail applications still doesnt show arabic charecters properly, you may use the file attached to apply this arabic fix which was generated by madmack's patch with this build (overcome gingerbread).

Instructions:

use any root explorer and do the following:

copy the following files to /system/lib/:

1.libandroid_runtime.so

2.libicuuc-arabic.so

and copy the following file to /system/framework/:

3.framework.jar

after that Enter CWM Recovery and wipe cache, delvik cache and reboot

to view arabic charecters properly in the browser, use opera or firefox browsers and make any of them your default browser, for the keyboard you may use gingerbread keyboard or smart keyboard they both have arabic input...

i am waiting for our hero madmack to patch the libwebcore.so of this build to fix the browser and gmail issue without workarounds...

http://blog.devasque.com/?p=93

As for this build i do really appreciate the hardwork, it is soooo faaaaast!!:D, even if there was no arabic at all i prefer fast response over functionality :)
