RTFM!!!

PLEASE for the love of Overcome read the bloody guide

I know it may seem trivial, tedious and/or repetitive but it is crucial that you read the guide. No matter how many times you've restocked, no matter how many times you've flashed Overcome, take the time to read the bloody guide!!

The Installation Guide took a lot of time and effort to write and thepittbull takes the time to revise and update it religiously with every single one of our releases. It is there for a reason and is not only for beginners. Even we sometimes refer to the guide because you can never be too sure!

As you may have read and/or heard around the fora, we have changed the re-stocking procedure slightly with V5 so I repeat/emphasise and stress that it is absolutely IMPERATIVE that you read the (bloody) guide every time!

It does us [as a support team] no good when you say you've read the guide simply because you thought you know it well enough from previous experience. If you say you've read the guide that makes us eliminate the possibility that you're doing something wrong and that can be detrimental and does you no favours in the end!

Assumptions are the mother of all fu*kups so please don't assume!!

In closing, I remind you to read the bloody guide! :mad:
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] oddball69:
May i suggest one thing ?

Make a short guide with only the steps and the changes of the steps

market in bold and red, like:

1: Flash Stock rom V5 with Odin.

2: let tab reboot fully.

3: Turn off.

4: Boot in to DOWNLOAD mode again.

5: Use Odin to flash Overcome Kernel 3.3.0, once it converted the file system, let it boot fully.

6: Now you can install the Overcome Rom with CWM.

( I'm shure i forget something but you get the idea i think ;) )
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
I would normally agree but you would not believe the amount of cries for help we get because people don't pay attention to the guide.

There are some intricate details in the re-stocking process which, if done incorrectly, could lead to a bricked Tab.

I'm all for trying to make life easier for everyone but the guide was written with a great deal of care and every part of it is really there for a reason.

I really don't think it's asking too much for people to read an instruction guide before using the ROM.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pendevous:
The problem is, even if they do implement that, some people act as know-it-alls (are are just plain stupid) that they just install it and don't bother reading the guide. When their tab gets ****ed up, they come down here whining.

I just don't get it why they will try to act as if they know every procedure and install this without even reading or understanding the guide. I for one think that, unless the person is retarded, the guide is idiot-proof (it even has pics, for ****'s sake). I don't see any qualms at reading it. If they don't understand the guide (or are just so lousy that they don't even try to understand it), then ask someone who does.

Btw, overclocking my tab to 1.4 with -50mV has seem to stabilized by changing my i/o scheduler settings from sio to cfq. Didn't know that it can have that kind of effect, but whatever.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] oddball69:
I agree fully, i have done 15-20 flashes and still considerer my self

as a newbee when it come to flashing, and always read the full guide and then

follow the guide step by step when i flash.

By the the way, this guide is the absolutly best and most detailed i ever seen in any

forum. Cudos to all involved.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
+1 to pharaohnough. Seriously Guys. I am a support team member and a bit on power user side. I read the guide many times and god knows how many times it saved me from major screwups (you dunno how many times I broke something lol :D ). I know some of you wanted shorter some want it longer. Tpb makes amazing efforts to revise the guide to add details photos and illustrations to help you guys out. My advice was and still is before doing anything READ THE GUIDE, once you are done READ IT AGAIN then print it or save it for referral or whatever and once you are confident start the installation procedure.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] samir1961:
I don't speak english very well because my second language is french but I understand the guide and follow the steps one by one and all goes well.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
I am going top download the new files and guide and go all the way through it. I don't want to give bad advice.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
SAMIR If you have language barrier issues impeding your understanding of the guide use google translate. Refer to a friend who can understand English.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] samir1961:
I understand what is written in english even if I don't use english daily.

I took some lessons 30 years ago.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Jshin:
Awsome! all I did was download the Jupiter version from my tab. Used file exploree to move the rom to root of sd, got into recovery and flashed. All my data and saved files and apps were left intact! love the robot chick giving status updated btw.

Thanks so much the most painoess flash ever!

User Guide

TPB has written an excellent user guide, I do not believe that there is any need to further modify it.

The majority of problems come from a mere lack of patience, it takes about 10 minutes to read the guide "twice". It's then simply a matter of following everything step by step, it honestly couldn't get any easier.

It doesn't really matter how well written certain articles are, there will always be those that are to impatient and that do not fully understand the benefit of taking time to read a little.

Just after studying as a developer I went on to learn Assembly language and eventually to learn a little about hacking. At the time their was not a lot of literature available but their was a guide written by Fravia.

Fravia often mentioned the importance of preparing oneself for a hacking session armed with some tools ( does anyone still know/use "Softice" ) and your favourite cocktail.

For me the cocktail was simply an analogy for "patience", the essential tool necessary whilst on a learning trip.

* Afterbridge has the patience to prepare/develop these roms.

* Pitbull has the patience to prepare the documentation.

* DarkPal has the patience to support us.

* All the other devs, site admins, collectors of information have the patience to share with us their labour, knowledge etc.

All that remains for the rest of us is to have the patience to read a guide, download some software and do as instructed. Where possible to give some constructive feedback and hopefully advance everyone's desires.

The guide really is well written, so take the time to read it, hold back your pride and have some fun.

This post is not intended or directed at anyone and if anyone feels offended please accept my apologies in advance, it is not intentional.

Just remember the importance of Fravia's cocktails.

Cheers to all

Roy

Thanks for the tip. Setting 600MHz with lower uv than 800 worked a treat for me. I'm running stable with these settings:

800 -> -100

600 -> -75

400 -> -100

200 -> -125

100 -> -150

Battery life is stellar for now (15hrs with 75% to go), even though today I didn't use the tab as much as I usually do. Wi-fi on, Bluetooth on, UC to 800 and UV as above. I left it unused during the night and it dropped 1% in 8 hours with wi-fi on (had some notifications when I picked it up).

Jupiter is incredibly smooth and stable. Did a full restock with safe v5 and wipe. Congratulations to the Overcome team for another great release.

I patched the market yesterday but it seems that google rolled it out for more people today, as I'm back to the new version. Oh well, it has some things I like, even though I agree with others about finding it a bit too cluttered.

I posted on the Icarus thread about the lock icon being wrong on the status bar and someone told me it worked differently, where "Rotation enabled = On (icon lightened)" and "Rotation disabled = Off (grayed icon)". When I saw a screen capture of some other user here, it made sense because I couldn't see any labels, but in my tab, running in Portuguese, below the icon there's a label saying (in Portuguese) "Lock screen" and not "Enable rotation", and that explains my misinterpretation of how it supposedly works.

I have a few minor problems. Sometimes (couldn't yet find the reason or exactely when it happens) auto brightness won't work. Even after enabling/disabling it several times after reboot. Also, it won't auto connect to known wi-fi networks. I have to disable wi-fi and re-enable it for it to connect. It's not a complaint, as I can surely live with it (it's not that hard to set the brightness or connect to wi-fi whenever I get to a known location). Just posting my experience to see if anyone else shares it.

Overall, the tab running Overcome Jupiter is near perfect and I can't find a motive to want another tablet.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
Was auto brightness working on stock rom? And what is the issue exactly? If its the overzealous shaky light sensor its totally samsung not us. Its even on the galaxy S2 (supposedly fixed in a firmware update). The wifi reconnect issue is somewhat elusive after Hermes alterbridge86 applied some fixes that proved successful during testing before it resurfaced again by end users. I will conduct some tests as I have an idea or two on why this is happening. Thank you for the feedback and we are glad to see you enjoy the overcome experience.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] speldenaar:
You know that feeling? Running a smooth Overcome package, but the new version knocking at the door. I know i won't be the first to try a new rom and kernel (using kernel 3.2 + Hermes right now..geekz.. Damn I love battery life in this combination) , but reading all posts i know i'm gonna try the new Jupiter and kernel soon. Excited.

I like the new setup: flash stock using Odin, then flash kernel using odin, then use cwm.

@dannyvanderzande: Sukkel! Haha ;)

(think he understands..)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lunatechpsp:
I thought I never had a problem with Icarus but last thursday when I went to manila (a 3 hour drive from where I live) to see my brother leaving to Costa Rica, I found out that the car charger was not charging at all and i'm using GPS, 3G and Sygic to navigate around the busiest city. I immediately think that my charger is broken so I bought another one just to found out that it was not the culprit but the Icarus that I just installed when it was released. My brother didn't pass the immigration officer so he was forced to resched his flight and go back to Davao. I was thinking that moment that I need to change it back to Hermes because it was fine on it.. when I check the Overcome site (it was around 6am sunday), I am shocked that AL released yet again an Overcome ROM named Jupiter. I downloaded it right away with carefully reading the guide, thinking I really need to test it out before I book my brother for his ticket. I plugged my USB to the car charger and VOILA!! its charging!!!!

I wrote my experience for the last 2 days just to say that Team Overcome is awesome, there are some hiccups on ROMs that sometimes they overlooked but i'm not complaining about it. Baking the ROM is hard enough but compiling them with tons of features, debugging and rechecking them is truly harder to do. I really appreciate Team Overcome for their hard work just to share it for FREE worldwide. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you. one last thing, i always think of Overcome "motto" that "the Best is Yet to Come!"

P.S. sorry for my bad english (too many I's and wrong grammars)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] SugarMouth:
Since Hermes my contacts disappear every time I open them. To fix it I have to open contacts, menu, display options, hit done. Then they appear. I don't actually make any change at all.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] astrod14:
Great Rom

Thanks to team Overcome for the Jupiter Rom and the step by step instructions.

My bell galaxy tab gingerbread 2.33 kf6 stock rom was successfully upgraded.

I've only had the GT 3 days and I'm already putting my galaxy s on the shelf for a break lol.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] xxx000xxx:
Unfortunately,I get the same problem that maps and navigator can not start normally by "network failure this application requires a working data connection".

Anybody else ?

thx
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lunatechpsp:
i have the same problem when im on 3g... all i need to do is reboot my tab with 3g already on...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] xxx000xxx:
Reboot .......
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayong chia:
I got this problem when i installed Go Launcher EX (if i am not wrong) then i delete it,it really cause this problem,if u r at the same launcher,pls try to delete it,hope it will fix :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] xxx000xxx:
But nothing change,it makes error too ,maps and navigator can't start :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] SugarMouth:
Interesting I have the same problem with both the Go Launcher and Launcher Pro! Contact work with the stock launcher though. Weird.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] badboy68:
So this update fixes getting into recovery from menu when holding down the power button. Cwm works now? If it does, can install rom manager also from market
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] absolutab:
Thank you for the reply, DarkPal.

Auto brightness worked flawlessly with stock froyo and with Hermes. Didn't test it with stock gingerbread as it was only a step to get the Overcome experience. Noticed it for the first time with Icarus, but as I said it's not a big issue. I usually have auto brightness on and when I'm reading in dim light, sometimes (and the fact it doesn't always happen is what makes me scratch my head) I notice the screen is too bright. Maybe it's something with my tab's sensor and the latest base rom. No worries ;-)

As for the wifi issue, I'm sure you guys will nail it sooner our later. And if you don't, an Overcome tab is still a much better experience than the stock one.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ATech:
This ROM is sweet!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayong chia:
So it mean this is the bug from the Launcher instead of ROM bugs... I use ADW Launcher EX and everything works fine here :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kmrdeva:
+1 ADW Ex Launcher is fine here with Jupiter too :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Marc-Sch:
Hi!

My 2 cents...

Jupiter is very nice, no problem for 2 days. I try to oc, just for fun (1200).

I use GO launcher without problem, contacts are fine...

I can confirm : rtfm! The installation guide is perfect!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] luigi_sa:
Hey all using jpz modem, "side-graded" to jpd, and found my speakers are VERY loud in calls, first time I've actually had to turn it down... :)

Just to clarify, im in south africa, data connections are VERY arguably stronger (need to go to some sorry signal areas to confirm), but all good so far.

Ps. The d/l is a zip, not just the modem.bin file, so i updated via CWM and all good. Just check for yourself, you can extract the modem file out of the zip and odin it if you feel like it.

Enjoy

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
Thanks for posting your experience!

Indeed many users who have had issues with JPZ have found better performance with JPD.

I am quite happy with JPZ but I'm now intrigued to try JPD to see what all the fuss is about :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mootmaina:
Hey team great rom. My only issues is with wifi. after I unlock sometimes it automatically locks and connects other times its just gives an error I use juice defender pro which disables the wifi when in sleep mode. Not sure if its a rom issue or juice defender.

Bravo,

install smooth as usual, great performances !

excellent experience
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Sanka56:
This ROM is great but i'm experiencing a strange problem... I don't have the "Home" button anymore! Can touch it, i have a vibration but nothing else!

Hard to touch the "back" arrow 12 times to come back to the HomeScreen!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] eongab:
did you use the no wipe? if so, try flashing again if still wont work you need to restock and do the wipe install.

UV

Hi,

A little upgrade from my UV, (100-1000/SIO-CONSERVATIVE/ -50 100 to 1000) this is third day and i'm at 25% battery (obviously at nigth tab off) before (with hermes) in the similar condition 2 days... :eek:

*#2222# = H/W Version form my tab is:

"FTA HW Version REV1.2"

Bye

Idk

Where did you get the tun/tap driver, i.e., tun.ko?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] AhmadOkda:
will this work on Canadian Bell P1000M ?

Also what modem to use for re-stocking ?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
Yes it should work. JUST READ THE INSTALLATION GUIDE FIRST and understand it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] xxx000xxx:
Back to Hermes,because maps and navigator can not start to use by "network failure"

thx
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
Did you try to restock and install fresh? I suggest you do.

Settings in calendar application

Question to Gurus.

When I open Settings in calendar, Settings tab closes immediately, returning to main calendar screen. My DPI is 186 and I thought it could cause problem - no, returning to standard doesn't appear to be a solution... Clearing calendar cache and settings seems to have no effect, too.

Other applications work fine.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
Just out of curiousity how many calendars are on your device and how many are being synchronised? It may also help if you mention the type of these calendars (Gmail, Exchange, etc)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zonsoft:
Just one Google-syncronized calendar.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dirtyfrog:
Gonna be grabbing and flashing this when I get home from work tonight. Can I just ask, what's the current score with video playback? What formats are supported?

I would absolutely swear blind that out of the box I was able to play MKV files without doing any conversion, but since I started flashing Overcome I've not been able to. At best, I sometimes will get a bit of audio with a black screen, before it all stops and the video player says "Unable to play file".
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alterbridge86:
Sorry, i saw you were going back to hermes so I don't know if i'm too late, but try removing /system/app/Maps.apk and redownloading the app from the market. It may fix your issue.

All else fails, a full restock will most definitely fix the issue.

You always could get into recovery by holding the power button - the issue was related to certain devices and a detection script, but thats been fixed. So CWM will always work for everyone now.

HOWEVER, stay far away from ROM manager. It will load an update.zip on your sdcard and boot you into a very broken CWM recovery.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] papatzis:
Problems Fixed

YES, YES , my friend, you were right, after restoking again, with V5, and following exactly the installation guide, all errors disappeared,and also and the new market problem ..

Thank you for your help , and this GREAT ROM
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] AhmadOkda:
i did but i failed to determine which modem should i use for re-stocking for the Canadian Bell i have ?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
Try the JK3 modem. As stated in the guide you can always flash another modem if it doesn't work.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] shagkie:
Why get so worked up because of this fool. The best way to deal with messed up kids is just to ignore them. They'll get the drift and fall back into their little world and leave everyone alone :)

Back into your bubble Ziggary boy.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kangfu84:
Sincere thanks to the developers. Another great ROM!

Havent had a chance to play with it much yet but so far so good!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] AhmadOkda:
worked fine on the Canadian Bell tab i got using the JK3 modem

thanks a lot :)

gonna check now the arabic support patch :)

awesome community indeed
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] -Howard-:
The new release is much better that icarus running well love the new kernel and recovery. Good job guys!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] teezle:
anyone try the no kernel version on a Verizon Galaxy Tab

Just wondering if anyone tried the rom with no kernel on a Verizon Tab?

Disregard, I see at the overcome website the Tab must have a sim card which Verizon does not have :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] oddball69:
Where did you see that ? Overcome don't need a simcard and never has.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Sanka56:
On My Way to try what you said ;-)

Feedback in a minute!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dirtyfrog:
Struggling with running the No-Wipe version - dropped it onto the internal SD, rebooted into recovery and selected install zip from sdcard. Choose the zip, I get "finding update, opening update, can't open /sdcard/001002-Overcome....... (bad)"

Tried downloading the zip twice. Any ideas what the issue is?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alterbridge86:
well you don't need to have a simcard, but you DO need to at least have a Tab capable of taking a SIM card ;)

It doesn't work too well on Verizon/Sprint CDMA devices, which lack sim cards :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alterbridge86:
Sounds like its a bad download, even though you did it twice...have you tried downloading with another browser?

Also try checking the SHA hash to see if they match.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thepittbull:
I think I wrote there somewhere. It's meant to distinguish between GSM from CDMA Tabs (which doesn't use a SIM card for their telephony). The SIM card itself is not a requirement, but the presence of a SIM card slot is... for now! ;-)

It's a corrupted download mate, I'm afraid.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DarkPal:
Use a download manger like flashget or free download manager.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bikrame:
can I just upgrade from Overcome v3.0.0- Icarus ??

My baswband id P1000XXJPZ.

thank you.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Acer99:
100% Ack, great job, Thanks again.

And perhaps Icarus was the wrong name. As we all know Icarus tried too much and crashed............:o
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dirtyfrog:
The download itself was fine - looks like it was the way I got it onto the Tab. I used Samba to drop it on via wi-fi, just hooked up via USB and pasted it over. The file sizes were slightly different, so looks like transferring via Samba is a bit wonky....

Works fine now, it's just installing as I type!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zaxondis:
You've done it again!

OC Team,

Don't mean to dirty the thread with meaningless posts, but had to drop in to say thanks once again.

Donation to the coffee fund made: Conf. # 8PB38537P35466232

Updated from Icarus using Jupiter No Wipe (had to be impatient this time :) ). Tab has been running for around 30 hours now and it's been nothing but beautiful. Definitely a noticeable smoothness factor. Running without any OC/UV myself.

A hearty and sincere thanks AB for the button light tweaks in CWM, so glad to have it back to the way they were before Gingerbread!

Keep up the great work team!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] codington:
I believe tun.ko is embedded in the kernel. Never needed to locate or download compatible tun.ko to get this to work.

And back to 1.4 we goooo!

Great release guys. Got it working and for whatever reason it is looking better at 182dpi.
