if you are a total newbie then don't worry about this just yet, worry about getting root...

You need to be rooted to do this.... threads in dev forum. You can also install a custom ROM after doing this, and below tweak will still work.

- After you have a rooted device (stock or custom) then download root file explorer app from google market (play).

- mount tab to PC, copy files across

- unmount tab

- open root file explorer, copy the files you've just put on your tab into the location /system/fonts and overwrite.

- reboot

Same process applies to reverse, just copy across the original fonts instead of the bigger ones

coz I'm feeling nice, here is the steps for root

if so how to activate..

sorry for the noob question..

sorry if i asked in the wrong section..

thanks..

No, it doesn't.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sman55:
It doesn't seem to make any difference to font sizes once it's done. If it does, it's very hard to see. So I wouldn't worry too much.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] wintermute000:
thats basically way to alter the font files, you've changed your font, but its not larger as he hasn't given you fonts that are larger I guess
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] buzzmcfly:
This is the best place for noobies... thanks to all you guys here
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jimmbomb:
I agree... I folowwed the directions.. rooted.. file explorer.. switched and overwrote the 3 font files with roboto.. saved.. and didnt really notice any real difference.

I have bigfont set on 130 and the Calendar is right and the rest of the fonts are way better...

EXCEPT when composing emails... Still very very tiny....

good luck

wifi-bluetooth issue

When connecting my bluetooth headset with the tablet it kicked me out of wifi. I couldn't surf the internet and listen with my bluetooth. Just another flaw similar to that in Asus TFT 201.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 九千.:
I'm using Sony MW600 and other OEM bluetooth headsets with WiFi without having any issue like you mentioned. It is truth that some devices would have this issue as they are using bluetooth/wifi composite chipset, but apparently this is not the case with SGT7.7.

guys, my tab doesn't have chinese traditional language, how can i change my language to chinese traditional ?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] wintermute000:
dunno about system language. you must have got your tab from a region that's stock build odes not have chinese included.

Try a custom rom like the tweaked stock in the development forum. I can tell you now it has traditional and simplified chinese as options :)

however your tab should be ok with displaying chinese, e.g. browser. I keep mine in english but can read chinese websites, run pplive etc fine. For keyboard I use touchpal as I need to msg in both english and chinese :)

Hi..I'm planning to use custom rom on my tab..what should I do if I want to change back the custom rom to stock rom if I didnt like the custom rom??
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bedwa:
Backup so you can nandroid back. Always backup.

My Tab makes calls Yo! GT-P6800
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] k2self:
which backup i need to use?? Nandroid backup, Rom manager or Titanium Backup?

can tell me what the differences between these 3 backup apps?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bedwa:
Rom manager tells CWM to make a nandroid, so those are one and the same. Preferred method is directly through CWM. TiBu is the backing up of programs and settings. Best for migrating programs from one rom to another. Be careful when moving from AOSP to proprietary code like our Touchwiz. System programs and settings don't always play well. User programs work 99.9% of the time.

My Tab makes calls Yo! GT-P6800
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] k2self:
so before I wanna install the custom rom..I use Nanroid Backup to backup the stock rom right??
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sman55:
yes
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bedwa:
In addition, use TiBu to backup any user programs you want as well.

My Tab makes calls Yo! GT-P6800

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] WildmanJoe:
Dear all, following a suggestion from another member on the board, I have found that it is not necessary to do a factory reset if your stock apps don't work. Just go to settings / applications and clear the data for the stock apps that don't work. It is tedious however it eliminates the factory reset brick risk. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Theory:
Thanks. I've added this to the FAQ.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] wintermute000:
confirming that doing a clear data/factory reset in locerra's Clockwork Recovery (dev forum thread) is 100% safe, the brick bug affects STOCK recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] titus1:
I've done a factory reset on stock recovery the day after I bought my Tab. Thank God nobody dies.

But a weird thing happen to my Tab...

Last night I was just tinkering with it, then suddenly a white line appear on the display from top to bottom. It was like a lightning that struck fast. After that, the colors on my Tab just went crazy. The colors of the icons changes, from the homescreen thru the drawer. It was like one those features on any digicam that alters color. Like blue becomes orange. Even the skin tone of my contacts had all becomes green. I did some screenshot while it was on that state. I did reboot, and all returns to normal. I was about to post those screenshot for comparison. But what I didn't understand was that the screenshot captures normal color...and I'm like WTF!

It was pretty scary. For such an expensive device...scary.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] WildmanJoe:
Wow thanks. Just want to say that I did not come up with it. It was from another thread regarding the messaging app (credit to the poster).

I tried it out on my other stock apps which didn't work before and it magically worked thereafter!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Marquzz:
This. It's charging, but takes forever. And if you're using it with wifi, the battery goes down even though the charger is plugged in.

i had trouble transferring contacts from outlook to my p6800 via kies. so jus used myphoneexplorer. its free and can connect via wifi, bt or usb. much better than kies for sync with outlook, in my opinion...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ThE_SoUrCe:
happened to me as well when still in honeycomb, sometimes when I receive an SMS, the lock screen looks like a f*cked up plasma TC with some grean dots, red lines etc. turning it of and on again (double tap to the power button lol) will return it to the normal state.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] knoxjon:
Does anybody know how to turn off the samsung quick access shortcut/apps? ie the one in the menu bar (in honeycomb at least)?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 九千.:
Probably you find it annoying to have triggered it accidentally. Though it is not exactly the solution you are looking for, but you could try Honeybar or Hidebar to hide it. Root required.

I wanted to test the wiping = brick theory... so i went ahead and do these:

from a rooted stock ICS (Austrian firmware) i flashed stock HC thru mobile odin... no clear cache and no clear delvic. Successfully flashed the HC firmware but it went to a Boot loop.

So i went stock recovery and do another wipe there... now my tab is as good as the day i bought it.

Happy ending, now i need to go back to ICS :victory:

CWM sdcard confusion

In current CWM versions there seems to exist an internal/external sdcard confusion that propagates into some xda-experts procedure guides and does not make it easy for new users to follow the instructions successfully! Occasionally internal may mean external. Why?

Example:

In CWM backup mode for GT-6800 including CWM v5.0.2.7 and CWM v5.8.1.5, the meanings of "internal/external" seem to be exchanged!

The command line

"- backup to internal sdcard" actually writes to the external[i/] sdcard ( /sdcard/extStorages/SdCard/ ) !!!

whereas the commandline

"- backup" actually writes to the internal sdcard ( /sdcard/ ) !!!

It took me some time and a lot of reading to realize that in case of error messages it could help to forget common sense and logics and simply try the other sdcard.

Is it a feature? For what benefit?

Disable folder open and close notification in ics

Hi there,

Just updated my HK 7.7 to ics via Kies. It is near perfect! Only thing is when i create folders, it has this irritating notification of "folder open" and "folder close". I tried to search everywhere on my 7.7 on how to disable this notification but failed.

Anyone can help here is very much appreciated.

would just like to inquire if it's safe to do a factory reset on CWM 5.0.2.7 on a stock ICS 4.0.4?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] mrashdi:

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Steve_max:
Install MobileOdin, then flash locerra's CWM through it, reboot to this new recovery, and factory reset from it. I can't say it's safe to use the temporary CWMs around, so if I were you I'd play it safe.

Nope. My tab is faster and more responsive than honeycomb. But i got another prob. Battery drain so fast.

Hello,

I am in the same case as your's. In fact my HC was too slow I thought upgrading to ics will overcome this issue. I did upgrade using kies, the result was promising initially but few days after I noticed a lag in traveling between home pages. As a mater of fact I am bit upset but what can I do.

Any idea that can solve this issue will be appreciated .

How about custom rom? You can check that out at development section. Currently I'm using Zeta 4.0 and it's fast and battery life is good for me. Of course be aware of ics brickbug. Just follow their instruction and be at the safe side. Good luck:D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] O26Keypunch:
Another cause for high battery drain

Temporarily remove your SD card and check to see if your battery drain improves.

Why: For reasons *WAY* beyond my level of expertise, I've observed that a partially corrupted (some files might still be visible) sd card can drive both cores to run full speed 100% of the time. Tab gets *really* warm, battery loss something like 25% in an hour or so. Pull card, reboot, all is normal. Put in new, uncorrupted card, again all normal. FWIW, I'm rooted, stock 3.2, SCH-i815. Old cards (yes, happened to me twice- my fault) will not format, partition, resize, anything, trying several decent utilities; cards totally borked.

Been on 4.1.2 Jellybean since earlier 2013 on my GT-P6800. For such a capable device, its starting the feel slow with

my multitasking and multimedia. I've therefore been searching as I believe Samsung has forgotten about us. Its not looking positive

to get a final official jelly bean.

A big thanks for all the work by the various developers hard at work. There are still lots of things out there but stability appears to be

the problems. I'm looking for a replacement, we can deal with crashes, its android, apps crash, I often have the xda app crashing

of my official jellybean with no mods and full reboots from time to time when using certain apps.

Anyway after searching, I think I've found the most stable update. I've not tried it but I've spent hours reading. 4.3 / 4.4 is just too far away

presently. I think we need to maximize stability, its so much work for the developers, they can't keep going for this device.

Will be trying this and hopefully using throughout 2014.

Yes of course ;-)

But :

* Numbers can be replaced by nice little icons (sun, umbrella, star, heart...)

* Unlimited puzzles are generated automatically by the app.

A very easy game for beginners; yet complex puzzles for advanced users.

The app is free. Use it, share it, just have fun !
