[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ArtificialSweetener:
Same situation here. I tried them all and stock TW ROM is the most stable and smoothest. I am a heavy user of my tablet. I think Ive gotten a force close only once with the stock ROM after 2 months of use while I got force closes at least twice a week with any of the ROMs here. Not only that but you are risking damaging your battery by flashing ROMs and Kernels other than stock like shown in this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1215182

You didnt see a performance increasing over the stock TW ROM because there is no performance increase and this is a fact. Stock ROM with TouchWiz already has hardware accelerated GUI, which is why its so silky smooth similar to ipad. Some of the ROMs you see here dont even have hardware accelerated GUI.

Some of the devs here IMO are going too far for their capability and are unaware what they are changing inadvertently causes issues in other areas. All the force closes, bugs, stability issues, and likelihood of damaging your battery is evidence of this.

I also think stock tw rom is best for this tablet so far.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ewans:
I'm using task650's rom and it is a definite improvement over stock. The main difference is in smoothness, especially moving between screens. Also using pershoots kernel.

I don't have any bugs to speak of, no force closes and no issues with the battery.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Kurupt1:
+ 1 for tasks rom, much better than stock, no issues here. Using pershoots kernel too.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xinhang:

Or you could just recalibrate it after you load a new rom.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ArtificialSweetener:
Yes damage the battery. Many people are unable to return their battery to its normal state. Not only that but recalibration does not return the battery to its full capacity. Its a very serious issue and its all caused by flashing ROMs other than stock touchwiz.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] PhantomHacker:
Not true whatsoever.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ArtificialSweetener:
Not true? You did not do any research on this. I did. There are multiple threads about this issue and it has been confirmed by everyone that 3rd party ROMs/Kernels are causing the problem. There is no questioning this.

This is your first android device isnt it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] novasam:
This is an issue even with stock not rooted, it has more to do with some of the chips that are used to track the battery and not the actual rom. This has been an issue for other android devices as well, and what happens is that the software does not seem to know exactly what the actual state of the battery is. Instead it tries to base this information off of past data.

I had the battey drainage issue, but after recalbrating it I have not had this issue ever again, and my battey life is great. Thats why Samsung recommends plugging in your tab to charge it to full, and then run it dead the first time.

What I noticed was that the software reported that the battey was dead, when in fact it was still fully charged. So I searched XDA and found some good information.

Most of the FCs I have ever gotten where from loading apps that conflict with each other. Like that version of the market that someone posted. Went back to the stock market app and all my problems went away.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ArtificialSweetener:
and by flashing 3rd party ROM/Kernel you are just asking for this issue to arise on your unit. Statistics do not lie. Everyone who is having this issue has gotten it just after they flashed 3rd party ROM/Kernel. Read the threads if you dont believe me. I have not seen even one person who has gotten this issue from the stock ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SeanHacker:
You obviously haven't done your research bro. Tw do NOT have its GUI hardware accelarated. If you would be a knowledgeable as you say with all your input you would have already dug into the file yourself to see that. They didn't even activate the launcher!! ! No damage to battery either bro. That would be like saying do not turn off or on your tablet because it will cause battery damage. Or don't run too many apps or Widgets because it will damage your battery. This thread is ridiculous.

Most of the issues that arise are USER related anyways, force closes, bad flashes ect... directions are made for a reason, to be followed and some like to be lazy and to other routes. So that's on them.

Been running custom everything from the beginning and never had an issue. With pershoots kernel overclocking enabled i still get much better battery life and performance, not to mention task's rom, which blows stock out of the water.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Drpbody:
Isn't that the truth.

I did run the stock for about a month after getting my tab but needing group based Cisco VPN access forced me to the custom ROMs.

I have been running task's rom for the last few weeks and it is just amazing.

I also have not seen a single battery issue. I have been using my tab preety heavy today and am still at 50%. That includes flashing Tasks 7.1 rom that came out tonight.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] |flyte|:
+1 for task650's rom and pershoots kernel. Running very smooth with an OC to 1.4GHz and ADW EX as the launcher. Much better experience than what I had using stock.

Tasks V7 release+ pershoot kernal = mindblazing speed. Im talking iPad 2 like smoothness. A guy outside my work today compared it with his iPad 2, and said "My God, I had no idea android had any tablets this fast. Where did you buy it?".

Stock doesnt even come AT ALL CLOSE. Sad to admit that you have to root most android devices to get the best experience. But for now thats just how it is i guess.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ArtificialSweetener:
As already explained its not user error. People do more than check email and browse the web with their tablet.

It is not user error that there are missing apps in the app market (Which you have no idea about) its the error of the ROM. Has been proven.

The battery damage drain issue is not user error. Its the fault of the ROM/Kernel. Has been proven.

It is not user error to receive higher than normal Force Closes when using 3rd party ROM. Its the fault of the ROM. Again you wont notice this if all you do is check email and browse the web....this also has been proven.

If you would like more I have an entire list for you...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] EvoXOhio:
Ignore this troll it is just 5thElement back with a new name.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ArtificialSweetener:
Ignore?

Battery drain issue, missing apps in the market, increased Force Closes, and other issues are a FACTS of 3rd party ROMs. You only need to read the threads here of all the issues people are having. If you dont like to hear well then thats just tough. Until devs here decide to post a disclaimer in their threads of all the issues I will continue to advise new members here and warn them.

Again, this is all proven issues caused by 3rd party ROMs and there is no denying this.

Show me the proof. Saying it's been proven isn't proof.

Missing apps? They were removed on purpose. They can be added back in. Not an issue at all. If you're competent enough to flash a ROM , this is definitely not an issue.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jfcooley:
As to OP

Tasks ROMs are quick and smooth once settled in. Adding pershoots kernel only improves it. I can see no drawbacks to using tasks, I can't speak for the others since I haven't used them. Judging from the number of users recommending them though I'd say you'd be happy. In the months I've flashed I can say the only app that gives me ANY issues would be the market. However that appears on both my devices with different ROMs, as well as my wife's device running stock.

I did have battery drainage issue on one instance. I believe it to have been my error and not the fault of any developer. It was fixed and has not appeared again. Over several flashes and several versions of pershoots kernal I have been solid with excellent battery life. I trust pershoot and task based on their WORKS and their reputations. Both far outweigh the Rantings of a troll and exceed my expectations.

If you are still hesitant to try a custom rom simply nandroid. If you don't like it you can go back and be content that you tried it and didn't like.

Trust the developers here. As the troll stated, they are popular (about all he stated correctly), and despite being the internet, their popularity is warrented due to quality work not their need for inflated egos.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dscline:
You mean they should include disclaimers like you did for your 3rd party kernel? Oh, wait, you only claimed you were developing your own kernel. How did that work out? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bilboa1:
a lot of the custom stuff is just placebo. i can't count the (sometimes large!) patches to various things that have zero effect, yet the 'dev' claims its better and the number of "i changed 0 to 1 in some places and my rom is the best thing since sliced bread!"

If you explain the reason why for a particular patch, most of them are going to ignore it - because it touches their ego. Like, jhash which is used almost only by iptable rule loading (which almost never happen, and when it does because you use DroidWall it takes a few ms at boot only)

this however shows that development has become easy which is definitely cool. however it also shows a general lack of knowledge :D

now, _some_ things do help, and there are true features too. but in general stock just works as well (or better as its often more stable :P)

so in general anything that says "this is faster by x%" or "more smoothness" etc, you can just disregard, its bs 99% of the time
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Tivo7:
I don't rely on custom or modded ROMs for the speed they claim to offer like most people.

I use them for the ability to customize features that you cant change in stock.

Task650 v7.1 and Overcome ROM
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dlieuOfXda:
I think at the moment of this writing, I think Task's 7.1 is the greatest, I am running it in combination with pershoot's 9/30th kernell, interactive governor, plus perhoot's watch media. I have also flushed update reverting to black-on-white tw settings in dialogs, because of annoying black on black issues which in some cases impair important functionality (like time and date selection dialogs in the calendar). I am not hang up on styling issues so much, I think being usable is ultimately more important here.

I think I tried most of what's latest and interesting at the moment.

There's no comparison in smoothness between stock tw ROM and latest Tasks. The gap is glaring, at least on my device. No bench is required to see and feel this. I am not sure what experience people are coming from who say to the contrary.

That said, indiscriminate hacking cetrtainly has its risks. Whether it is or is not the case is hard to say for certain, but the change logs look benign and I think most of the risks are coming mainly from physical restrictions on comprehensiveness of qa that is feasible at single developer's level. So we kinda have to live with beta versions of the patches and software applied, and some uncertainty in their interoperability issues. I am a software developer and oss committer myself, so I am intimately familiar with both commercial and oss qa control pecularities, so stuff certainly happens wrong in oss world whereas commercial process tends to gravitate to less bleeding age but safer approach. Which is exactly I think we are seeing with this roms (commercial process would not let non-functional time entry dialog to go out as a default update)

All the said is not to diminish quality of work put into task's and perhoot's and alterbridge's distros. I am happy with my setup. I don't see bugs that were not at least already present in the honeycomb itself, after all the steps applied, while the improvements are just impossible to ignore. Thank you guys. IMO amount of usability beta-bugs in Ubuntu distros is greater than what I see in these releases. So, complainers, please get a life. These roms IMO exceeds oss usability quality in other much more mature projects by at least an order of magnitude already. If it continues at the same pace, in couple of years it will be amazing product space.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vitalij:
excellent comment - couldn't say better :)

and regarding smoothness - I've just tried latest pershoot o/c kernel, and even overclocked it is less smooth in browser (while scroling) than stock kernel in ki1 firmware (7500) - however initial page rendering with o/c is definately faster. And it is just one more example that custom firmwares are not necessary better than stock, and clearly bring some compromises.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jenskristian:
I have tried all the big custom ROM's for the Galaxy Tab 10.1, but have yet to find one I like. So for now I'll stay with stock UEKME with pershoot's overclocked kernel. My goal is to eventually be able to watch 720p videos on my tab.

[2011-09-26]

- is the GPS and aGPS working on the current build/nightly?

- is the system still very hungry for the battery power?

- is the camera working correctly (green lens, I dont need high quality)?

- is the WiFi connection stable?

- is the WiFi and USB tethering working?

- any facebook app working with this build?

Thank you in advance, replies will help me decide should I get this phone or not (carrier: ORANGE PL) - Ive seen the phone and hate its Android 2.1+Motoblur, Ive also seen the news about it not getting any official upgrade to GB (and Defy+ wont be avalible anytime soon here).

[Defy General] v2dare:
Hi Sileam, Offcial 2.2.2 froyo is avaliable from Motorola nd u Need a 2.2.2 Forwares to Install CM7.

Sorry there wont be any official 2.3 for Defy (from motorola Forum)..

the Defy+ will have 2.3 and it use RED lense only .. Moto Team dont want to develop two firware or OS for Red and Green lens . So dnt expect an 2.3 update for Defy.

So i swtched to cm7 Rc1.5 .. its Ubercool..

No Facebook native App in cm7. U can Use The Gapp If needed which will download Facebook(Stupid way. u can directly download Facebook App from market).

Bt what i use is friendcaster . Offcial Facebbok App is too slow and Buggy .. Friendcaster also has Lot Things that Facebook native App dnt have like "Like" a comments , see who all "Liked" and lot more and the chat app is too gud ..

My Red Lesn works awesome and Battery Backup is gud . Stock froyo give me 2.5 days and Same the CM7.
