**First off, I am not responsible for anything you do from my post that messes your device.**

Screenshots in second post.

Noob questions will be ignored. Ok here we go.

Pre-requisites

1 - Working knowledge of how to flash via Odin (I ain't teaching ya)

2 - sdcard that has the bootloader fix, HC rom and any other needed files on it already (makes last couple of steps faster)

3 - The ROM from here

Instructions

1 - Backup your stuff.

2 - Backup your stuff

3 - Download the needed stuff from the attachments

4 - Download the needed Froyo (yep you read that right) rom to 'restock' the device from here and extract the enclosed tar file

** JJ7 ROM here for those that have reboot issues with the roto JME ROM. **

5 - Start Odin and select the downloaded .pit file for the PIT section and make sure re-partition IS checked

6 - Select the .tar file that your extracted from the Froyo rom download for the PDA section (it has an MD5 extension added to the end, you can remove it)

7 - Attach tab in download mode (power + volume down) and click the start button when Odin is ready and wait (about 3-5 mins)

8 - Allow tab to boot and click through welcome screens (don't worry about connecting to network or account or anything as it wont last) and take a trip down memory lane (mmmm Froyo) ... Done? Good, run the bootloader patch and patch if needed and reboot.

9 - Open Odin again and select the p1000-mck-r3-ext4-cwm.tar file from the attachments and add it to the PDA section, no .pit file this time

10 - Make sure re-partition IS NOT checked and connect your tab (in download mode) and click start and wait (30 secs) and tab will reboot

11 - Reboot will get stuck at bootlogo, power down and reboot into recovery (power + volume up) and the EXT4 conversion should start (you need an sdcard in the external slot) ... wait for it to finish, it will take a while, when done wipe data/cache/dalvik and reboot into Froyo once again and skip through the welcome stuff

12 - Reboot into recovery with the sdcard in the external slot and select "install from sdcard" -> "choose zip" and select the HC beta rom and flash it

13 - Flash a Froyo radio from this thread if you want the 3G working. (JK3 works well with my GT-p1000 from Bell)

14 - Reboot into Honeycomb goodness! Reboot again for good measure.

Have fun!!! :D

Initial post
[Galaxy Tab General] TroPir:
Honeycombe

At step 11 tab doesn´t switch to recovery mode. Please help.thank you,
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
A little more info would be helpful. Is your tab GSM? What is happening instead?
[Galaxy Tab General] TroPir:
Yes.when pressing power and volume up,there is after a few seconds a flah of frizzly colours across the screen and it get stuck with the boot logo.Tab can go in download modus,but not in recovery.

Also it doesn´t charge anymore (grey battery symbol).
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Are you holding the buttons longer than needed maybe? Let go of both buttons as soon as you see it power on. As for your grey battery, leave your tab plugged into the wall charger for four hours then unplug, reenter download mode and start from scratch. Sounds like either you started to flash with little battery left or the CMW recovery didn't take and need to be reflashed.

Also you didn't specify or put it in your signature but you are using a GT-P1000 right? This si not for any Sprint or Verizon or even a LTAM verison, just ATT/Euro versions of the tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] manggagalugad:
I'm kinda itchin to try this out. I've yet to download the roms though.

Just wondering, how's the current HC running on the gtab? (performance, battery-wise)
[Galaxy Tab General] avenir11:
Can you be more specific ?? Dont undestand how to do nothing
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Battery wise it is fine. Not ready for daily driver use but it is coming.
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Who are you talking to? Doing nothing is easy, just dont do ****. :D
[Galaxy Tab General] manggagalugad:
Hmm sounds worth a try. :D
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
IF you just want it to surf the web and play some games then it works fine. Don't expect many apps to work though as the SD card issues will break some apps.
[Galaxy Tab General] photpix:
can we have screenshot
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Really? Just like any other honeycomb build really. Nothing special other than its on the 7" screen.
[Galaxy Tab General] tonyt3rry:
I would like screenshot too
[Galaxy Tab General] NENENE:
Keep up the good work guys, fingers crossed.

Slim,

Loved that post...

Best wishes on getting this working, I too want to try it.
[Galaxy Tab General] kingskidd268:
What the password on the JJ7 ROM rar?
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
samfirmware.com
[Galaxy Tab General] StarLog:
Slim,

One thing that is special, is it will let those who want to use Google Body run it.

At this time GB does not run Google Body.

Other then those apps that are HC specific, your right.
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
I added some to the second post now. Couldnt do it until sdcard issue got fixed as all SS apps want to use the sdcard to store and market was having issues downloading stuff.
[Galaxy Tab General] woocashewski:
hi, in beta 3.5 sd card is working correctly, so there's no problem anymore ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
I know. I'm on the team. Ill update the thread when Dario does as the links from diagdave are not official yet.

When the screen timeout is over the tab reboot.. Sorry for my english..
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
You came from a Gingerbread ROM. You didn't flash stock Froyo ROM first.
[Galaxy Tab General] xyon80:
Yes i did..
[Galaxy Tab General] jorgeccs:
Works for the gt-1000n?
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Latin GSM right? It should. Do regular GSM ROMS work for you? If yes then this will to.
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Yes i did come from gingerbread or yes i did flash the stock froyo first?

What tab you have? Euro/ATT GSM based on? I don't know if it will on Arabic/Asian ones. So far only trouble I had was with a TMob one and thats because we used wrong pit file.
[Galaxy Tab General] jorgeccs:
I think the drivers are different screen version in america

SGT-Bootloader-Patch-v1.00.apk is not compatible with my device , Why?
[Galaxy Tab General] romturk:
Overcome Rom ?

Hi i have a Euro Gsm Tab with 3.1.0-KRATOS Overcome Rom.

Does all steps apply for overcome 3.1 Rom. Any special step that needs to be done ?

Good Job
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
You are coming from GB so you news to froyo restock. Just follow the steps.

:)
[Galaxy Tab General] romturk:
Working smooth

following guide i was able to install / make it run in less than 30 min without a single issue. Its awesome to finally a working hc on my tab.

One question is it safe to go back to overcome ?

Keep up with good work people . Well Done !

Thank you all for your efforts
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Yep. Just remember that you still are on a froyo base so follow the OC install guide to move to GB.

Thanks and glad you got it working using the guide.
[Galaxy Tab General] PhelanPKell:
RE:

Hey guys, I'm also on the testing team for this HC release.

Install was flawless, just follow the instructions to a T.

Like Slim said, this is not a daily driver ROM, but it is solid enough for casual use. Keep tabs on the main thread here to see the progress of the ROM.

So far, my tab is running quite well. As I play around with different apps, I'll try to find a place to post any incompatibilities...somewhere.

I might make a new thread for that and update as we go.
[Galaxy Tab General] xyon80:
I fallow the guide.. Go back to froyo and ecc.. I have a eur gsm tab and the only problem i have is when the screen timeout is over the tab reboot.. I set the timeout to diffrent sec and min and the tab reboot when the screen turn off..

Not charge the battery when off..
[Galaxy Tab General] ravindrank:
Sweeet!

Having fun rite now.

The steps are perfect and went for the JJ7 ROM. Adding on (leaving out wht others have pointed) some points:

1. Since I used JJ7, there was no root. For ppl trying to check for locked bootloaders by installing the apk.. They need to root after booting froyo and maybe after converting the ext4.

2. While starting HC for the first, please choose US english. I chose English(India) and the onscreen keyboard didnt work. Went bac to settings and chose English US and all well.

3. Nice: Calls and 3g working :). Seeing some issues while end calls. Unable to end.

4. Suspecting Charging works but the screen stays as froze when plugged in charger. Need to verify.

5. Messaging app crashing while choosing contact. Unable to send SMS . Instaleld a 3rd party app (handcent sms) no luck yet in sending a sms so far.

6. When will touch the notification area and the Equilizer like icon, we see a blank space, even though the Flight mode, settings etc are present there.

7. Plugged in earphones didnt work

Will add more as I find...

For now planning to continue to use for a long long time :)

Regards

Rav
[Galaxy Tab General] para76:
Thanks for the instructions! Will see if i find the time to flash my tab this weekend :)
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
The froyo flash didn't take. Try a different stock rom.
[Galaxy Tab General] andiemerchcomia:
it said that start with froyo firmware. the version here is P1000XWJJ7 and Roto-JME-Full-v4.zip... can i just use the base firmware of p1000dxjj2? i have a rom availble in my pc... its very tiring to download again and wait for it. please reply.. thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
As long as it will restock your tab to Froyo, it should be fine.
[Galaxy Tab General] andiemerchcomia:
thanks pal!
[Galaxy Tab General] nikes60:
Anyone can verify wheather the link to download the rom is working ? cus i'm not able to download. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Which rom? JME JJ7 the HC one? If its for a Foryo ROM, just get one from samfirmware.com.
[Galaxy Tab General] gasgrillwok:
honeycomb no wipe available

I have searched this forum and

cannot find out if I flash this new rom and there is an update available for it, do I have to start over again with froyo or just flash the updated honeycomb. I did the honeycomb early stages and all went well, but after 2wks went back to kratos cause of all of the issues.
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
You can flash over top. That's what I did coming from bwta3 to RC1.
[Galaxy Tab General] mauwri37:
this rom is fantastic! JMK works fine (3g, wifi, sd, gallery, google music beta but also can be seen only by the Tracks list, the only thing red edges do not go away with the correction of equipment buil.prop and I do not mount the memory of mass PC does not know why you see the two drives but does not open, everything else is ok apart from the known bag already described, congratulations! I was beginning to lose hope and instead
[Galaxy Tab General] davidl1983:
Step 11

I followed every step to a t up to nr. 11.

11 - Reboot will get stuck at bootlogo, power down and reboot into recovery (power + volume up) and the EXT4 conversion should start (you need an sdcard in the external slot) ... wait for it to finish, it will take a while, when done wipe data/cache/dalvik and reboot into Froyo once again and skip through the welcome stuff

It did not convert to ext4 or find a sdcard... Therefore I can`t continue with the process... Does anyone know what might have gone wrong? I tried both of the 2.2 roms several times.
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
The EXT4 conversion happens after the flash of the cwm tar. So if you flashed that and booted into recovery and the convert didn't happen either the system is already ext4 (which would be weird) or the cwm flash didn't take. Try again with the cwm flash.
[Galaxy Tab General] omr911:
I already have stock un-rooted FROYO from Middle East !

Do I really have to install Europe ROMs like JME or JJ7 first ?

Should I skip step 4 ??
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
If your tab is Arabic then I would. Lemme know how it goes so I can modify the thread if needed.
[Galaxy Tab General] gasgrillwok:
Installed rom no problems. Gps is active amd seems to work fine. Tested my navigation app Copilot and sob it did not sense the gps. Any suggestions thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] o.oneway:
hello boys me too have problem...why When the screen timeout is over the tab reboot??????????:(

can i use flash other stok roms? what rom?

can i flash the stok 2.3.3?or just p1000xwjj7?
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Wait for stable build.
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Stock 2.2 only as the rom is built on 2.2 kernel. Try a different froyo rom.

Tmob Tab - umm wheres my 16GB "USB" storage? :)

Hi all,

long time lurker of xda and have been hacking my tab for awhile now.

got a tmob tab 16gb and was running cm7 2.3.x an everything was running like a champ but ive wanted HC for-freaking-ever.

Got the hc rc1 installed just fine but i cant seem to find my usb storage anywhere. Well it was called usb storage in the cm7 rom i was running.

Is it there and the build is just misrepresenting the size? Or should i try loading the pit i used originally for the cm7 build and restock at the same time then try flashing this?

since im using a tmob tab and had to use the JJ7 because the roto one would just reboot every the screen powered off.

i then had to use superoneclick to root froyo again before i could install the bootloader check even though i was pretty sure it was already opened.

once i used odin the 2nd time to load the ext4 tar i rebooted into recovery and it converted easy peasy but then when i tried to reboot into froyo again it just hung. i waited 10 mins just to make sure but no dice.

So i booted back into recovery and flashed hcrc1, let it boot up, rebooted again, and everythings been working brilliantly except yeah that whole missing 16gb of storage lol

any protips would be helpful.

thanks

meh
[Galaxy Tab General] khadar:
thnxx

downloading...
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Its not that its missing but that certain apps dont see it and the system isn't handling the mount right. All issues wil get fixed in due time.
[Galaxy Tab General] cdwiegand:
Catalan??

Ok, odd question, I did all of this (had to re-do using JJ7 ROM on my T-Mobile tab). I had previously used the italian GB upgrade on it, but the system was in english. This time I loaded this and it appears to be catalan?? Anyone else get this? Any obvious way to fix this??

**EDIT** never mind, figured out how to reset the system language, had to do it on my phone as well to figure out the translations...
[Galaxy Tab General] HighTab:
Heey,

I flash all but i come to step 11.

My problem: the tab reboot, i down the power button and then i and then I press power and volume. The download modus works but the Recovery modus didnt. the tab show the boot picture but not the recovery modus ?!

my tab: GT-P1000

sorry for my english but help me please :S :**
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Try to either reflash the CWM image or flash a different CWM image.
[Galaxy Tab General] HighTab:
and what different CWM image must i flash ?

I have reflash this CWM but didnt go.

thank you for answer :*

Questions/Confirmations

Hello all,

Nice job on the port. Super impressed.

I am having issue with Dropbox, Browser, and other apps not being able to download to the SD card.

Wifi autoconnect is also giving me some issues by not being able tonforget a few open networks that require HTML log in to open the access but this could be user error.

Was able to I stall Gail, but couldn't find what I thought was a tablet specific version I thought I saw on an A500 demo unit I played with. Again, I could be wrong about this even existing.

Battery life is decent, though I changed processor to on deans and it seemed to helps with the lag issue and freezes.

Using everyday, thanks again for such a quality effort.

In reviewing both threads I believe this is known.
[Galaxy Tab General] kelvs:
any videos ? reviews ? thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] goughymachine:
There are plenty of comments in the thread in the development section. Videos, it looks like standard hc. Just google that.
[Galaxy Tab General] blatab:
i have the same issue as HighTab. i tried to flash that cwm several times. at first, it fails. but when i try again, it's working but in recovery mode it says "can't mount sd card".

which other cwm can i try?
[Galaxy Tab General] jalil123:

rebooting issue

definitely overlooked where my answer to the question I posted was so thats why I removed it
[Galaxy Tab General] vinokirk:
My Tab keeps rebooting after about 2 minutes. I am going to try the JJ7 ROM. What are the differences between the two ROMs?
[Galaxy Tab General] MrKite4:
were you able to unzip the JJ7 ROM? cause when I try to it keeps asking me for a password
[Galaxy Tab General] eongab:
i think the password is samfirmware.com

Thank you

Thank you all for this amazing Honeycomb port and guide to the Galaxy tab! : ) You guys are awesome!

Too bad Samsung didn't do this for us..
[Galaxy Tab General] vinokirk:
+1 on this one
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Sucks for you guys. I use a phone so don't care about calling. If you're planning on using the HC rom as a daily then you get the problems that come with it.

point 11 :/

Hi there,

I have the same problem with point 11,

I have p1000 GSM from Polish ERA carrier (now it is T-MOBILE),

I did everything from instructions, but after booting in recovery mode sdcard can't be mounted :/ tried to load different PDA file like U said, no luck. Maybe I have got a bead file (got it from here: www(dot)moniroth.com/mobile/android/how-to-install-overcome-rom-on-galaxy-tab-p1000.mh) Please help, i'm not a noob I did reflashing devices since Ipaq 3600 but this time... I don;t know what to do mow.

Forgive me my bad English.
[Galaxy Tab General] Arranmc182:
So amy news on RC2 yet as im loving this even with the small bugs, BTW the the dock keyboard does not work if you fix this at all PM and i will test
[Galaxy Tab General] imarte068:
So I was making my way through the steps when I reached a bump at step 11. When CWM was flashed it failed to mount the sd card.

Now I read up on some other posts within this thread of others with the same issue. It was recommended to them that they install the overcome CWM. When I went to their site, it was down. The p1000 section was down.

Now I ask if someone would kindly upload the modified CWM to help me move on and finally achieve HC. It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

hi good work
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Here is the zip or tar depending on how your are going to flash it.

Phone Function

Hi,

Been reading the past 10 pages...but can't seems to find an answer...is there any phone calling function (as in a Phone app, dialer) for this HC Rom?
[Galaxy Tab General] vinyldoctor:
yes, but it's blocked in other parts of the software.

you need a rom that has the cell phone enabled.
[Galaxy Tab General] gildow:
hmmm...could you be a bit more specific? I think a lot of people would like to know too... :-)

Thank you very much.
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Basically flash a rom that can do calls. Flash HC. From that point HC has the code to handle calls and the radio and stuff you know works fromthe other rom. HC lacks the software needed to actually let the user make a call. Dialer apps and such can fill this void although hit and miss.

Experiment for yourself see what works.
[Galaxy Tab General] akk23:
Best HC experimental ROM so far....

Good work Slim...only concern seem to be the lagging which occurs during open and closing windows, as well as the red colour shows up on the side..
[Galaxy Tab General] gildow:
Thank's for Clearing this up :-)
[Galaxy Tab General] hsrussel:
Not getting Bluetooth and autorotate working.

I have got my tablet flashed with RC1. I just loved the Honeycomb, and I wish to convey my appreciation to the team, I can only imagine the effort they have put behind building this up.

I have noticed the following issues with it on my tablet:

1. could not turn on the bluetooth.

2. Could not receive and disconnect a call (I used JMF modem, maybe I should try some other?)

3. The screen did not autorotate.

4. and the software hanged several times.

I had to stop there because I use have to use the tab on daily basis.

Since this is my first post, I could not write it on the main forum.
[Galaxy Tab General] Honda2012:
If you want to change the Screen Orientation try Orientation Control.

Probably there is also no Autorotate but you can choose which Orientation you want..

My perfect is when the buttons are on the right side ;)

but in this case, the lockscreen doesn't work anymore (in this orientation).

I also got the problem, that I have no Sim Card in my Tab.

In the lockscreen the text "no sim card ...." is above the lock circle, which looks really ****.

So I took Widgetlocker.. works well.
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Autorotate is broken. The sim card text can be removed by adjusting the ro.carrier line in the build.prop to say wifi only.
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Not a daily rom. HC is not geared toward the use as to which you want. Get a phone.
[Galaxy Tab General] Honda2012:
where in the build.prop is a ro.carrier ?

I have many build, product & 1 wifi

but no ro.carrier, do I have to write it myself?

My first thought was also, that the sensor for orientation is not included in this release.
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Add this -> ro.carrier = wifi-only . Put it in the same spot as the lcd density line.

HC is closed source. No source means we cant get everything working. This is more of a hack together fro proof of concept. Anybody seeing it as otherwise needs to redo some reading. :D
