I a noob at this but decided to upgrade. Did it 2 days ago as per website instructions and was totaly surprised with how easy it was. Was finished in about 10-minutes maybe even less.

This morning I did some of the tweaks. I especialy like the fact that I was able to underclock and undervolt without any noticable drop in performance. Now hope to see an improved battery life. (It really sucked before) I am at 800Mhz and -150mV no issues at all so far.

Sure the benchmarking shows a huge drop but i can't feel it in practice. In fact the whole tab is 10 times better that the original froyo I was running until 2 days ago.I am sure everybody already knows but it is smoother, it is faster and the constant force closes are completely gone. The tab went from being a nuicance to what it should have been from the begining. It has beecome a a piece of useful equipment.

I am really greatful and excited about the result. Thank you for your efforts and the work!!!

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] njackson:
CIFS

My apologies first if this is not on topic, but I would appreciate some guidance if it isn't.

My tab is working well on Hermes and I have just been experimenting with CIFS connections. I have this connection working well through CIFS manager, and can now use it in Root Explorer. My issue is that I need to manually mount the share through CifsManager, but would like to have it automatically mounted on boot. CifsManager settings mentions a file called cifs.ko, but I can't locate this file on the tab, eventhough I see Hermes is configured for Cifs & SlowWork.

Any help or furthewr direction would be appreciated. :confused: Thanks

Jacko

EDIT: After some further searching, maybe I asked the wrong question. Are there Galaxy Tab slow-work.ko and cifs.ko files for/in HERMES?

EDIT 2: More searching, and I now assume HERMES doesn't need the cifs.ko as it is already built into the Kernel. Therefore my issue wopuld just seem to be how to automatically mount the shares on boot ... if that is possible :confused:

Hi folks I have a Galaxy Tab from Tmobile USA. . . With Overcome Hermes and the 3.1.0 kernel.. .

I in my experience I setup with Voltage control to run the CPU 1,200 max and voltage at al levels at -200 but it freeze I'm now testing at -100 at to see, someone with this same tab could share your settings to have an idea how mine is good or bad! I know this vary from device to device! Just to have a clue! Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kay_kiat88:
forget -200mv. max i can go is -125 across all speeds and that is what i have now.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] raaleck:
Thanks. . . I will try that settings. . . How much battery hours are you getting? Just to have and idea!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kay_kiat88:

Sounds awesome. . . Much than Im getting now. . . Im fully charging to recalibrate the battery , I will tell you then!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] luigi_sa:
Im using -50 for 1400 & 1200, -75 for the rest. Reset battery stats yesterday after full charge with tab off.

With 1.5 hours talk, +/- 3 hours music, about 4 hours ebooking, two phone calls with a cumulative 30mins, and one .SGU S2 episode (40mins), plus on/off xda, my battery is now at 18%, showing live running of 1day 11hours and 28mins. Im so impressed with this Rom! Going to increase the uv by 25 across the board, see how it goes.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Alcibiade:
I noticed a bug, not sure it comes from the Overcome kernel or (more likely) Samsung's messaging application. Whenever you send an SMS that cannot go through (for instance in an area where you have no reception, in my case NYC subway) in some cases the SMS application will try to resend and resend again this text. The original one will always appear in a waiting state (you can't even delete it) and the tab will keep on sending it over and over again

This is extremely annoying...

Only way I found around it was backuping my SMS, deleting all of the SMS on the Tab and then editing "SMS backup and restore" xml file and changing the state of the SMS on this file then reinserting. It works but it's time consuming and not practical at all
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] raaleck:
Yeah, that happened to me a few days ago. . . By the way i dont send regularly sms from my tab! But i see that problem too!

perhaps someone can help me here - I have an at&t tab, and I unlocked it and enabled voice dialing by following the guide here on XDA, and everything worked fine. Then, I flashed this rom and everything works fine except packet data (wifi works fine). i've double checked that the APN settings are correct, and have tried different simcards, but still no go. (I'm using it in the UK) -- any suggestions? I tried both the at&t modem included in the zip for this rom, as well as the i9000 bell modem used during unlocking/enabling voice dialing.

I have two question

What's about quadrant scores with oc?

I have noticed sam lag with launcher pro..are there any particular settings?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] k0sh:
from 30mins i disable lagfix ~~ until now my tab wont reboot , the sexy voice says 20mins . then backup , until now my tab wont reboot :D .... i wanna sleep , have class after 3hours !!!!!!!!! is it normal to take this all time ?

can anyone tell me to wait , because i'm going to force reboot it , i had enough waiting

force reboot , again the sexy voice talked :D restore operation ? i'm waiting again :D

why this all ? ? this is not normal at all , when i reboot my tab i consider that i'm going to re-flash back and miss the 2 classes for it :D .. but after i reboot it , the sexy voice start to restore and disable the lagfix and my tab now boot ? this is unusual :D any shot explanation
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] A.G.:
This isn't normal and I don't have any explanation, apart from this being a freak accident, if you cae from Gold, which I did without any problems.

So just reflash or better yet, get some sleep and reflash afterwards.:D

I charged mine on Thursday and it only stopped working today (Monday morning).

The thing that killed the battery is that I left IM+ signed on overnight last night...

Admittedly it was quite light use.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
Did you make sure to have the free space on your external (externel-nobleskill?) sd card?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
That has happened to me with gmail too.

So the app claims its sending, but it isn't, and you can't delete it. Same thing for gmail.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
Your set up is the same as mine. It should work. This will sound dumb, but reboot a couple of times, go to wireless and tap enable packet data, reboot, then go back and uncheck it, put it in airplane mode, etc. In other words, give it the equivalent of a good shaking until your tab notices.

I'm sure you did the recommended wipes before you flashed, right?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dxwilliams40:
Battery life is great on this version. My tab has started sputtering a little, but that may be due to my 5 year old daughter dropping it a few days ago.

I had same problem with im+ and battery drain..beejiveIm solves it :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] A.G.:
Hmm ... normaly, if you went from Froyo to Gingerbread and the other way around, you would change the bootloaders. As far as I know, thouh I'm not an expert, bootloaders from one version won't work with another.

So even though you could extract the bootloader from the ROM, which itself is something only those should try, who thorougly understand what they are doing, you, might end up with a bricked device (unless someone else has tried this and succeeded).

So if you desperately want to go back to Froyo, the less risky way would be to flash the Froyo-bootloader as well. Just make sure, you grab an unlocked one.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] A.G.:
That's why I bought a hard case. My kids don't treat the Tab too kindly, when they manage to get their hands on it (which they can do more often than one might think) and my Tab and me are grateful for any extra protection.

I had my tab out of its case for the first time in months yesterday ... never guess what happened? And ill say this... the glass is very resilient to scratched from sliding on bitumen... was a very tense few moments looking at it face down on the road... overall was extremely impressed with it.. a few chips on the edge of a corner but that was from the impact and that's really all that was damaged.. quick wipe down and couldn't tell without really looking... super-glued into the case now ill tell you for free...

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
Damn! I guess you should consider yourself rather lucky

I know a guy who dropped his Tab while running... glass came out of place, he pushed it back in and it's functioning well apart from the few scratches on the sides.

I've not seen said Tab but by that story and yours, it must be resilient hardware :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
Yeah I honestly expected to be taking home sseveral pieces of unhappiness and as I'm getting closer to it I noticed it was atleast still geographically together.. I was so relieved when I picked it up. Was an emotional time ill tell you. My mates where watching too so I had to keep the brave face on and I think I just sold gorilla glass to those lads... everyone was blown away by it.

Tbh I think its a quality control issue with the makers of the glass as to why the failings, that and I'd break myself too if i was attached to an idrone.. er.. iPhone. I think they are a "young" company and it would have been hard trying to work with apple given their megalomaniac leader. Can't fool me either, I can see where he draws the toothbrush moustache on in private. Lol B-)

Im using hermes edition for almost a month. No problem. Very very nice. Lately i used ad free android applications to revert my ads block to get an update for medscape which is very useful for my work. After i updated medscape, i was able to succesfully updated the ad block list and installed and reboot. Then after that just now i noticed that the ads were back. I tried to reatore it again and i got a pop up the ads free needs update. What should i do then. Adsfree i think is the problem here. Anyone havint the same problem?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] danih:
Any updates in the near future?

Just asking, don't throw a rock at me :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alterbridge86:
haha no rock throwing - i was actually just coming here to give a little bit of an update.

I have been absent for the past few days due to real life stuff (g/f's birthday, relatives visiting - very busy weekend lol) but now we're back and I'm back in android land :)

I'm hoping to have a release at some point this week. Not guaranteeing anything because we all know how that goes in ROM development...but I know you all are jonesing for something new and the next release is going to be even better than Hermes, I guarantee it :D

Just a little something to whet the appetite...Wednesday night was the last time I got a moment to touch the tab (I told you...i didn't even have time to PLAY with the tab :P)...put her in standby with somewhere around 95% battery life...and here we are Monday morning, purring along at 81% battery life :D This is with the last test kernel I built Wednesday night and new base ROM that the next release will have :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] luigi_sa:
Now thats just unfair teasing... going to have us drooling like boxers till the release is with us. "... May the force be with you, Jedi..."
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] aniuwoo:
Wow. that is huge! we may get the release in this week?! keep rocking!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speldenaar:
Sorry for hitting the break here..

Although it sounds nice that the Tab almost idles and doesn't consume much power during sleep, I'm more interested in battery life when actually using the tab.

Whatever rom i've used since i got it, using time has always been 6 hours.

I'm not interested in "time on battery"-statistic, but i'll always look at the 2% of display-time, which gives me correct overview how long i got to use the tab.

Idling is very nice for a phone, but my Tab is more then just a phone.

Had to say. You may continue now.. Lol
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayong chia:
Can't w8 for the release :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
I can't believe all these near disaster stories about the front glass! I broke one from a three feet fall, and scratched the new glass on the first day in my map case. I'm glad for everyone, and perplexed at my misfortune.

For the battery life, its going to be tough to compare, but the time of on-task usage will mean more than standby time. Even so, I really appreciate the standby time of this rom.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DistortedWisdom:
Okay guys i am back, and hopefully I wont flood this thread with my stuff any longer :P

My ABD works fine now :rolleyes: I still don't get what was wrong! but its all right now.

Okay here is the thing,

I tried adding Arabic to the locale of Hermes and i somewhat succeeded in doing that.

Here is what i did.

1- got the stock arabic firmware, extracted framework-res.apk

2- decompiled framework-res.apk

3- extracted framework-res.apk from Hermes

4- decompiled framework-res.apk

5- created folders:-

raw-ar

values-ar

values-ar-rEA

6- copied "Strings", "arrays" and "plurals" from values and pasted them in values-ar and values-ar-rAE and using notpad++ i translated everything in there from English to arabic (based on what i saw in the same files from the stock arabic firmware)

7- did the same with "loaderror" and "nodomain" from raw to raw-ar.

8- rebuilt .apk using APKTool and then signed it.

9- it didnt find the sources so i had to copy the missing stuff from Hermes and plunge it in there.

that worked but Arabic letters were unjoined and reversed (does anyone know how to fix that using another method than the one below??)

so i decided to use MadMac's script to arabize the thing, and that worked fine, or at least i thought so!

now the only problem is that the device gets into a boot-loop if the tab goes off OR you reboot for any reason while having arabic as your locale, but wont do this if your on any other language.

could anyone tell me what went wrong?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bishamon:
Thx for your words humandroid. I have hermes going but when I try out the recovery, I'm back to that same thing again. Ya right. Afterall I have been playing rom since ppc2002pe days. Nothing much should be deterring me. Will get back into my mood to solve the cwm again over the weekend.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ezynow:
+1

Tried almost all roms + kernel variations + undervolting, still strugling to reach the actual manafacturer's quoted times of 7hrs of real life usage. My case is web browsing which it seems to consume the most battery life (normally page refresh every 5 - 10 secs ).

Any good battery eater apps / tests to do some repeatable benchmarks as i have seen some people quote astonishing battery life, well above Samsungs own figures. Maybe there are tabs with higher rated battery capacities?

Standby life is v.good on stock android so never had a problem with this.

Anyhow, looking forward to new release.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] danih:
a big +1 from me too, i tried all variations, but battery life with normal usage (pls notice - not heavy usage) is at best 6 hours (usually less)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
On Hermes I'm getting 10 -15 hours of heavy use... I'm confused... I'd be looking at what governor and scheduler you have and try playing with combos. Also I noticed that setcpu has UV settings now and they work a treat so I ditched the other and now I think it actually gave me pre set UV settings...

HM looks like my battery states file is corrupt.. see the line @ about 1\3 the way across?

@cap I honestly believe its just a quality control issue not a floored design if you follow. The tech is sound IMO but I have heard stories like your more often than could be accounted for by normal error rates..

@AB86. Thanks for the update mate and yeah got it In one with the "jonesing" comment.. B-)

@DistortedWisdom - did you see the released gingerbread has arabic locale? Maybe go stock, flash CF-root, flash that rom, then install the overcome kernel . . .?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ezynow:
Havent tried updated setcpu but thats like 100 % more than me! How bout we swap tabs :D

I am basing my batt life on continuous web usage from 99% to 89% which gives approx 40mins on average with brightness around a 1/3 of maximum. But could be inaccurate as i have read some people say their battery holds better charge when its level is below 70% for example.

Anyway will try out a few more combos, hopefully can get more power scottie ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] areshinakya:
Same for me, about 15% drop in 60 minutes while using the tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Magaboo:
Just in case someone is interested. I have been using the following UV settings using 'Voltage Control Lite', for the last 3 days without any problems:

1400 @ -50

1200 @ -50

1000 @ -75

800 @ -100

600 @ -100

400 @ -125

200 @ -125

100 @ -125

I have the frequency limited to 1000hz, but the tab runs fast and smooth. Battery life is excellent.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] areshinakya:
Is it actually proven, that undervolting actually improves battery life, or is it only placebo?

Just wondering...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DistortedWisdom:
Well thats what i am using now with a little bit of tweaking ( I am no dev, but trying my best to learn), what i wanted is "Hermes" with Arabic locale.

the theme and tweaks and the tweaked apps and everything :)

People over here are crazy about Hermes BUT they are struggling with english some of my people here don't understand English whatsoever!

I tried working on some tweaks but seriously i always get stuck halfway :)... like some mods on .jar files, i can decompile the file, do the mods but i have no clue how to rebuild .jar files :P

anyways what you said is a great "compromised" solution. and i want the FULL overcome experience in Arabic :)

This is because of the adblocking in the kernel.

You are trying to open a google adwords link.

I had this issue in previous Overcome Roms, but Hermes fixed that. So the adblocking in this rom is perfect.
