[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homey:
Ok, just an update.

I decided that I was going to do this in 2 steps:

1) Get the Tab up to 2.3.3 and then, if I wasn't happy with the stock ROM

2) Upgrade to Overcome.

Firstly I found this REALLY helpful in step 1:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtWdNqwAETs

Here are all the files that I needed for my update:

firmware and PIT file and Odin found here:

http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm

Odin 3, v1.7, of course,

- P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME.tar (within P1000XXJQI.rar)

- gt-p1000_mr.pit

- dbdata.tar (found this on this forum. Can't remember where :(

I can email it to anyone who needs it though..

a) Go to:

http://www.samfirmware.com/samfit.htm

Check your firmware version and download the appropriate Firmware and PIT file from here:

http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm

You can also find the latest version of Odin here too.

b) Get the 3 files ready on the desktop, and follow the Youtube video, pausing it when needed.

Within 10 mins, it was done and so far I have to say that the difference is fantastic. The Tab is so much faster, smoother and much more responsive! I'm not sure about the battery life as it's too early to tell!

I resisted the temptation to root it - I may do it in a couple of days after I assess the battery performance.

I hope this has been helpful for someone - I'm pretty new to this stuff and I found it scary but nevertheless, easy!!

Thanks for the helpful post.

To be honest it's not that I'm dissatisfied with 2.3.3 stock, it's more that I don't want to invest a load of time getting it customised only to find out that I then end up switching to a different ROM because it is better in some way.

That's why I was looking for a 'Top Line' overview of what Overcome offers so I can decide whether it's important to me.

So far I'm still getting used to stock so at the moment I can't assess whether I'm happy or not. A few things that do 'niggle me'....

1. The multicoloured background around the app icons gets on my nerves. I'm a minimalist at heart and if I could find a black and white theme with black and white icons I'd be pretty happy.

2. The standard clock font/position just doesn't sit well with me. But from what I've read so far you need to replace the whole lock screen and none of the ones I've seen do it for me so far.

3. Pulse is just annoying and I can't see anyway to turn it off.

4. The apps that I've tried and think work great on the Tab are Copilot 8, WiFi Analyzer, PowerAMP, Sleep like An Droid.

I looked at tunein radio but it now appears that many radio stations don't transmit outside their own country (bu**er), I'd like some proper skins on PowerAMP (like the old winamp type of skinning).

If Overcome offers substantially better theming without compromising stability then I'd certainly look at it.

I assume that the Source code for Overcome is not available and I have to admit that's a concern for me on a device that is likely to get used for so much private info.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
I understand your frustration with lack of info. Biggest culprit for the neglect in info is SAMSUNG ITSELF! Samsung updated the Asian firmware last July 3x in a month without giving any reason. It was up to the user to update via kies and discover what has changed.

As for pulse. I have frozen it via titanium backup as it is using memory even in the background.You can also 'disable' it by deleting all sources.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
Ravi,

Observe the button lights that do not go off at all. After sometime the button area gets warm. One of the reasons why I rooted is to be able to get back the auto off of these lights.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
pinsb,

the overcome is 9 months old and I must say I just stumbled upon it while reading around about the tab which I got only in february this year.

I found this from the lead dev of the overcome 10.1 version:

There probably is a similar statement for our 7" tab but not available anymore as the website had transferred several times during the last 9 months.

And yes, overcome sources are available but those are beyond my meager knowledge....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloggsey:
Don't understand, got my tab 3 days ago just connected to kies and 2.3.3 downloaded.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homey:
Yeah, I just spotted that!!

Can't decide if its a good thing or a bad thing. Guess it depends if it has an impact on battery!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homey:
You're lucky! I think it depends entirely on which version of the Tab you have. Some seem to be updated immediately but some (I suspect ones bought from the Crphone Warehouse and Phones 4U) seem to be the last ones to get any update!!

I've been waithing monts and months but I'm glad that I updated manually!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ofiaich:
bloggsey

where are you from? Are you in the UK? Wondering where you bought your tablet from!

Ravi! Are you happy with your update? No issues yet? I am not sure whether to update, or to sell it with all accessories and get a new tablet!

Ofiaich!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloggsey:
Daughter got it from tesco so factory unlocked, haven't had it long enough to notice anything different, still getting used to it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homey:
Hey Bloggsey!

I'm in South Wales and I got my Tab from a friend who bought it from Phones 4U.

Overall, the upgrade is worth doing but I have the same thoughts as you! I have a Dell Streak and an iPad too and I'm wondering if this intermediate step is one worth taking!!

Over the past 6 months I've bought and sold just about every tablet on the market but I still cant make up my mind about the Tab!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloggsey:
Hi Rav,i would have liked the Galaxy 10.1 but am on a budget here. Tab is fine for a while and pkeased to get the update.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homey:
Did you get it on that mad £150 deal that they had last week?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloggsey:
That's right, never had a bargain like that before wierd using my desire after a tab!

Hi everyone!

:D:D that's me done too! :D:D

Firmware Version - 2.3.3

thanks to all!

Thanks Ravi for posting your progress and the You Tube video link!

Now time to setup my email account etc!

I clicked on 'Thanks' for you!

It took me three attempts then I decided to use a different USB port and it then sailed through!! :D

I rooted as well!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffroy:
Good news all round! Now try out some custom Roms hehe ;-)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ofiaich:
Hi biffroy!

what do you recommend and what have you tried?

Is the process simpler than what we just done?

Ofiaich :D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffroy:
I think that now you've successfully upgraded, the fun begins! Sticking with what you've got is really good enough, but if you like playing around then go to team overcome and get on their kratos rom. It's very fast and using the guide, your tab will get an ext4 conversion. This will allow you (if you want) to try stuff like cm7, miui, and bocca. These are all very good roms and will totally change the whole look and feel of your tab. But remember, kratos was designed SPECIFICALLY for the tab, whereas the others have been ported to the tab. That's why I always end up back with overcome, it's fantastic :)

I'm also keeping a close eye on the honeycomb dev thread... it's currently on the 3rd beta release so isn't perfect. But if you want to see your tab running honeycomb wait for the next release which will have a lot of fixes and should work well. I'm really excited about it!

I have to say that everything I say is my own personal opinion. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT MESSING AROUND WITH YOUR TAB CAN CAUSE MAJOR PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLY BRICK YOUR TAB FOREVER. BE CAREFUL. I have had many, many panic stricken events when i honestly thought my tab was dead. Losing all of my data was getting off lightly just to see it boot up and live again :)

But going to overcome is a realatively safe 1st custom rom flash if you FOLLOW THE GUIDE. I love helping people out so let me know any other questions etc, but don't forget, I'm an amateur myself and my knowledge is sparse. I just love Android! Head over to the development forums and have a peek at what's going on :)

Have fun & let me know how you get on!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ofiaich:
Hi biffroy!

I think I will update to Kratos but just want to check something to be sure.

From the Installation Guide

http://p1000.teamovercome.net/?page_id=64

Updating/Upgrading instead of a Full Install:

If you’re just planning to update, here’s what you do: )

Make sure you have at least 3GB of space free in your INTERNAL SD if you’re not on the ext4 filesystem, if not, you might not complete the conversion correctly.

Grab the “001002-Overcome_v3.1.0_KRATOS_NoWipe.zip” file from these link:

Download The No-Wipe Edition

Copy the update zip file at the root of your internal SD. Then fire up the CWM recovery, and choose the ”install menu“, then select ”choose zip from internal sdcard“ and look for the 001002-Overcome_v3.1.0_KRATOS_NoWipe.zip file. Then update away.

After it is done installing, it’s considered a best practice to wipe the Cache and the Dalvik Cache. (The new installer takes care of that now…) Then reboot.

Do be prepared for a long first boot after that, as the system would need some time rebuilding the cache and the dalvik cache. It’ll return to the normal, speedy boot times after that… and there’s no need to flash the kernel, as the updater and the full ROM would always contain the latest kernel…​

<-- I think this is all I need to do because I already updated to 2.3.3

In other words, no need to use Odin.

Thanks !

Ofiaich :p
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffroy:
That's right, but make sure you do the factory reset thing! Happy flashing :) :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ofiaich:
Thanks Biffroy!

One last question..... ............. ..... maybe ...:p

Factory reset before flashing or after...

just woke up so, reakkie time, then off to read about factory reset in the guide,

Ofiaich ;)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffroy:
I think they like to say both!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ofiaich:
:p:p:p I was about to edit my post to say that!

I will do later this morning, and post results...

edit - not sure why, but I cannot transfer 001002-Overcome_v3.1.0_KRATOS_NoWipe to the internal sd card of my tablet!

Tried different ways but no luck!

When transfering from Windows XP to tablet memory, I get the error - Tansfer failed, level to deep! or something like that!

edit 2 - hmm, now it seems to have transferred

edit 3 - oh well! Tried to upgrade to Kratos but Tablet would not allow and failed. Rebooted into -

Firmware Version - 2.3.3

Build Number GINGERBREAD.XXJQ1

Tried to download again from Overcome site http://www.teamovercome.net/?page_id=558 but it seems to be down at the moment.

edit 4 - site now working! Downloaded using tablet, then moved the file to the root of the phone sd card, and yep, :D all went well!

Zip file was called 001002-Overcome_v3.zip and not 001002-Overcome_v3.1.0_KRATOS_NoWipe but I think maybe it doesn't matter... Maybe just named differently on a mirror site?

The attached picture shows the details!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phlooke:
Hi guys.

Any further updates to your upgrades?

I stumbled onto this XDA site a few days ago.

My story is similar to "Homey's" in that I've owned my Tab for months and have eagerly awaited GB, I then got an update via Kies and found I couldn't live with the lights always on. This led me to trying to root the Tab in order to get some apps to work that can control the lights - the rooting didn't work and I found a link to Overcome ROM.

I blindly went ahead and carried out simple instructions not really knowing what I was doing and after a failed attempt when I thought I'd broken the Tab I got it all up and running.

I am really glad I did it...it's got an in built tweak for the lights that I have tried and dont like - I now use Blinker Tab to control the lights.

Anyway enough rambling, good luck fellas

Hello everyone, I have a problem with the Android Market: The market basically does not make me download several applications because it defines me "incompatible with my device," although I have a Nexus S. .. an example is the flash player, not I can download because I said that is not compatible ... but I know that is not so! the problem still exists after wipe-data and with each version of the market! can you help me?

Its the file that identifies your phone model. For example if you modify the build prop, under settings/about phone where it says model number it should say Nexus S but you can change it to say anything you want. Does yours say Nexus S under model number?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkeee:
Hey folks,

I've been able to get by, copy pasting using a long press. But I've noticed that it doesn't work in a number of areas. I had trouble with the native email (not gmail) app. I want to copy a tracking number from the email, but there's no way to do it. I even tried to reply and fwd the email to make the text editable... but no luck.

Long pressing in the email app seems to highlight the text, but no options come up, and the menu button gives me irrelevant settings.

It seems that there is no hardware shortcut or hotkey to copy and paste! This is terrible and so inconvenient.

Does anyone know a way to program the quick keys to perform cut, copy and paste maneuvers? I imagine it would be pretty simple to do. It would finally make good use of those 3 crummy keys.

Thanks

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkeee:
Thank you for the replies!

I figured it out. The problem I had was that I couldn't perform the copy function in the native email (not gmail) app. I managed to select the text with a long press, but there was no way to copy it to my clipboard... or so I thought. Turns out pressing the trackpad once the text is selected copies it!

And thanks for the app suggestion. I was rooting around the dev guide hoping to map the quick keys to cut, copy and paste. That would make good use of them

EDIT: Sorgo, I can't seem to download that app. Oddly enough I can't download most apps recently because the market claims my device is not compatible. This happened not too long ago. I'm on CM7 #220 running 2.3.7. I thought it was because I had changed my resolution in my build.prop file, but even with a default build.prop, I can't download a thing. Any suggestion there?

Hi,

I need to return my Galaxy Tab 10.1 3g (P7500) to Samsung for repair.

Hence I need to revert it to full stock ROM. I already have the appropriate "One Package" file.

When starting Odin Multi download 4.38 it requests also an OPS file which I don't have!

What can I do? I haven't found anything similar through search so far.

Can I just flash the One-Package file without an OPS file (leaving the OPS protect checkmark on)?

TIA

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mebanna:
I've tried many many many bookmarks app downloaded from ANDROID MARKET, they can sync or import/outport bookmarks from desktop PC to 4g slide's built-in browser.

However, I found only those links are imported successfully, meanwhile, NO directories (folders) are imported.

I mean, since there're more than 600 links in bookmarks, for convenience, I sort them into different categories, then put them into about 14 different directories (folders). But after imported into 4g slide's built-in browser, these directories disappeared, only the 600 links left one by one in the root directory of bookmark.

You can imagine how laborious to find a link among 600 links, you have to scroll down many many many many many many screen to get it...

My question:

1. Is the problem caused by these 3rd-part bookmark manage app? or 4g slide's built-in brower itself doesn't support folder ?

2. Is there any way for 4g slide to manage links with folder supported ?

Any response would be deeply appreciated.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bingley:
Perhaps I don't understand the purpose of sd-ext/4ext/a2sd etc [I'm sure this is the case!]

I'm running the Aurora v3 rom - basically a sense2.1 with an ext partition. I cannot understand why I've 128mb free in /data after installing pretty much all my apps yet I'm getting insufficient storage errors; I can't install anything despite having a lot of /data free- it seems if my sd-ext if nearly full I can't use my /data?

1. The rom's files flash to /system, and a few to /data. As it's large, we partition the sd card with a 4ext part of say 342mb for overspill of the system/data files.

2. If we change the hboot (to cm7) such that the /system is smaller - overflowing into sd-ext - we get a larger /data partition for apps on the internal memory. (I've done this for for Oxygen/Redux roms and had over 340mb /data with no sd-ext.) Thus alpharev say's we'd get 287mb /data.

3. This rom installs apps to /sd-ext, and/or /data[?]; in Android's App usage I'm reporting 152mb used, 135mb free (the 287mb /data?); and 128mb free storage.

4. 4ext recovery reports 1.7mb free of 342mb for sd-ext - it's full. Which makes sense if apps install to /sd-ext, but why not fill the internal /data first? adb shell df -h gives:

Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/block/mtdblock4 5.0M 796.0K 4.2M 16% /cache
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 7.1G 4.5G 2.6G 63% /sdcard
/dev/block/mtdblock5 287.6M 159.3M 128.3M 55% /data
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 331.3M 329.6M 1.7M 99% /sd-ext
/dev/block/mtdblock3 145.0M 122.8M 22.2M 85% /system

5. To me this means /data has 128mb free for apps; sd-ext is full with system files and apps - seeming to me that apps take space up on both /data and /sd-ext, duplicating space usage. Obviously I'm wrong on this but that's how I see my space disappearing lol Yet I cannot install any apps as I've insufficient storage.

6. Clearly I'm misunderstanding things after installing just 150mb apps and thinking I'd have 287mb of apps /data, not just /sd-ext: why shrink hboot's /system to make a large /data if the apps go to sd-ext?

7. I've not moved dalvik cache to sd as I thought I'd not need to given the seemingly large /data, and it's free amount. Clearly I can do so but why isn't my /data space available?

Sorry for long post and sounding dumb, I'm really trying not to be!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
These Roms use sdext for both Rom and part of the apps and possibly dalvik too. Traditionally it would just be apps and maybe dalvik.

With these bigger roms, you need bigger ext to get the same. Yes when ext is full, you can't install anything. Maybe you need a bigger ext partition
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bingley:
Thanks for the reply.

That's what I thought - I just cannot understand why I cannot use the free /data though; what's the point of changing to the CM7 hboot when your /data is limited to that of the sd-ext? Isn't it doubling up on storage use by apps, placing them in sd-ext and /data, and when one is full you can't utilise the other?

Sorry for sounding stupid, it just makes no sense to me.

btw I checked out your dGB, looks great. I do love miinimalist roms but also prize my Sense-720p'd camera!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No its not doubling up. The point is that /data/app and /data/dalvik-cache are symlinked to /sd-ext/app and /sd-ext/dalvik-cache.

However, /data/data where the libs, preferences and databases are, remain on /data/data

So when you install an .apk, it installs the app to /sd-ext/app, the dalvik is created on /sd-ext/dalvik-cache and the libs & db's etc will install to /data/data

If sd-ext is full, there is no where for the apk to go.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bingley:
Thanks for clearing that up for me, I feel kinda stupid - I just couldn't get my head around it: why the nand wasn't being used for apk placement but I see they are split up and components spread over the combined sd-ext and /data. Thanks!
