[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ResonanceZero:
There is an actual, legit Gingerbread updated that will work on a US TMobile Tab that can be installed via Odin, AND it is an overseas version (Italy release, specifically). You will have to download the files and install them. See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1073854 . Also see here for a modem switcher, as you won't be able to get 3G using the Italy build modem: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=871021

Flashing is never completely without risk, but many people have done this successfully.

Overcome is a complete firmware replacement with many modifications. The latest release is based on 2.3, but I don't really track it, so I can't really say too much more about how well it works. See here for details: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074759

(You can also get the T-Mobile stock modem from that thread without going to the trouble of using Roto's switcher.)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btyork:
The Overcome Rom is a fully functional build of Android 2.3 (Alterbridge also has a 2.2.1 Rom out there)

It has only minor minor bugs at the moment (which you likely wont even notice), but for the most part is a fully working build.

If you follow the steps written up at the bottom of Alter's Gingerbread ROM, you shouldn't have any troubles.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
To answer the original question, there is no official gingerbread for any US carrier's tab, and probably won't be.

Hi,

I have upgraded to the Chainfire Gingerbread ROM and everything is great.

I was previously using the Modaco ROM with my filesystem converted to ext4.

Did flashing the Gingerbread ROM convert me back to RFS?

Apologies if this seems like a daft question.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
There are no stupid questions. We are all here to learn. The short answer is Yes the gingerbread rom reverted you back to RFS filing system. Long answer is that what we did is simply flash a stock ROM back to our tabs with stock repartition using the pit file which practically reverted the file system to samsungs RFS.

Thanks very much for the prompt answer. Much appreciated.

Hey guys.... I was wondering

Did you have Galaxy S before you got Galaxy S2?..... I have a heavily pimped out Galaxy S

Insanity ROM with Damian´s GTO Kernel with 1280GHz and the phone is insanely fast with 3-4 days battery life....

I was wondering if I have any reason to buy the Galaxy S2?.... I mean in terms of speed and battery life?

I know it has better Camera and flash and stuff like that :þ

Thanx :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob_me:
I can almost garantee the SGS2 will be quicker out the box. It will cope alot better than the SGS under load too. Having a gig of RAM is very helpful.

I thought my cm7 nexus one was super fast untill i got the sgs2.

I would buy the sgs2 simply because, if they can make an sgs as fast as an sgs2, then what the hell can they make the sgs2 as fast as?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAEVARM3:
haha yes, that is what I was thinking :P..... think I will enjoy my Galaxy S this summer and buy Galaxy SII when developers have come up with fast as hell ROMs + Kernels :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumble6059:
everything about the SGS2 [stock] is better!

but i found that my 'pimped' [lol] SGS1 with custom ROM Etc had a much longer battery life.

once devs get some good custom ROMs on here in sure the SGS II will out-do the SGS1 by miles!

switching from SGS1 to SGS II was the best thing i've done for a while!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eric303:
Hey guys I got a EPIC 4g, and i got a few issues, I used CDMA WS to change the PPP/HDR id and pass. It wont let me change the HDR user/pass. So i was rooted the phone and retried it again. This time it worked, but only according to CDMA WS, because when i got into ##3282# Data Profile > Username it still has the sprint ID in there. Does anyone know how i can edit this?

I did try to edit it inside the phone, but it does not give me an option to commit the change.

thanks

and the reason i'm editing these items is because i am flashing this phone for cricket.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordgodgeneral:
Could always try button remapper beta off the market. I don't know if it will work on the dock keyboard but I could remap some of the keys using a usb keyboard on my viewsonic g tab. Something to try at least.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnycreature:
One way to do it is go to this website to get a general idea about remapping. Then download the KeyTest.apk from the author.

When you start the app you can see which scancodes are created. Now go to /system/usr/keylayout (most likely requires root) and change the keyboard layout that is associated with your keyboard. If you don't know, download aLogCat from the market. When you connect a keyboard it will show up in the log. For special characters and shortcuts modify the appropriate keychar table in /system/usr/keychars.

Hope that helps. It worked on my XOOM for a generic BT keyboard that had lots of Apple keys.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiz:
Wonderful. Thankyou all for your helpful posts! Very glad to know there is a way to do this, even if it is not an official option.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] case0:
You need to change the software keyboard to the ASUS one in order to get correct layout on dock keyboard.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiz:
As a follow up post - I got a transformer with dock. Downgraded to 8.2.3.9, rooted and found the keyboard layout in /usr/xt9/keylayout/qwerty-en_GB.kl. I edited by hand (thankfully it's a lovely human readable text file) and now am enjoying colemak! Woot!

I might write a little how-to so that anyone can do it quickly and easily.

Hi. I'm thinking about all phones and they architectures, filesystems, etc.

There's ARM processor with RAM and flash memory. But in forum i read about "oneNand", riff, etc.

Is Jtag flashing process which can always rescue bricked phone? Or is there a bootloader that can't be flashed and modified? How look like a internal processor filesystem?

Thanks for interest and best regards, cybek.

Using JTAG + proper drivers can be ALWAYS used to repair bricked phone, of course if it is software bricked, also it sometimes needs big knowledge and skills.

Yes, there is 64KB of CPU internal memory called iROM that contains BL0 (IBL) which cannot be overwritten. We're still working on discovering all its possibilities. It is possible to repair bricked phone using capabilities of iROM code instead of JTAG, but we don't know how... yet.

oneNAND is another CPU internal memory, 512MB, contains the main bootloader stages, which are PBL+SBL (BL2+BL3 in Wave case) and factory data stored during flashing.

Also we've got moviNAND PHONE (not inside CPU) memory (2GB) which contains settings, user data like photos, applications etc.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] antoniouslj:
Can we please all come together and agree on how to mount internal/external storage?

I had Bionix flashed and downloaded a new rom from a different dev. I rebooted into recovery and did the usual wipage before flashing to the new rom... except I forgot that Bionix mounts the SD card under External SD (I'm used to CM7), so every Android app sees the internal storage when saving files, instead of the external SD card. So now I have to reinstall an old rom just so I can re-download the files and move to SD card in order to flash the new rom.

This is getting ridiculous. I really don't care where the mount points are, I just wish they'd be consistent among the different devs.

*steps down off soap box*
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
I agree with you. Although I'd rather stick with the stock scheme of /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD. JM2C
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I wouldn't. I'd rather the SD card be "SDCARD" and the internal storage be under mmc.

The thing is stock roms have it screwed up. They have SDCard as internal and SDCard/External as the micro. Plain confusing. Why have the microSD card as a folder on the internal.

They both need separate locations. The good thing about having the SDCard as the microSD card is that programs that usually write data to that location would be saving it to the removable disk vs internal storage. For Example Launcher Pro stores its backup to /SDCard. If my phone screws up or takes a swim... my LP backup is gone vs the microSD card would likely survive.

I say put the internal storage on MMC like CM has it. Load it up with music or videos and be done. Let the apps install backups and data to the microSD card so they are secured across devices.

Honestly, coming from a N1, I don't even know what to do with the 8gb internal storage. I'll probably throw my music on there to free up space on my 16gb microSD.

Since msullivan's guide is generalized for all devices I thought I would tailor one specific for our Evo's.

I take no credit for any of this except for what is my own personal experience. 99% of the following has been taken from the original thread HERE

I have not tested this on an AOSP rom nor gingerbread for that matter. If anyone has confirmed it working I will add to the list. Supposedly CM7 cannot find the image file, if that's the case the resolve should be: In Android the "real" location is often /mnt/sdcard, and then the /sdcard mountpoint is added for simplicity. So yeah, my guess would be that Cyanogen doesn't have the /sdcard mount. You can fix your issue by opening the file "bt" in a Unix-compatible text editor (such as Notepad++, or an editor on the phone itself), and replace all instances of "/sdcard" with "/mnt/sdcard".

Working so far:

Froyo Sense (MynsWarmTPTRls5)

If you just have the issue of date and time mismatch, try to set the option to 'Get values from network'. What I mean is to set your time and date to sync with the network time, that way it will stay updated.
