ok I need some advice.

For a while I have been using Overcome latest ROM, and I saw some posts on this thread saying this ROM is a lot faster.

I use my tab for ONLY VIDEO and nothing else. Right now I am having trouble playing HorribleSubs 720p anime (hunter x hunter), it is playing well but audio and video desyncs after a few seconds.

Do you think that if I switch to this ROM, it will give me significant speed boost in regards to video playback?

If yes, what ROM version, kernel, extra tweaks, etc. do you recommend?

thanks to all who will reply, have a nice day
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dizgustipated:
back when my tab worked, i used it mostly for videos and games.

i had insignificant to no issues.

i recomend v2.0.8 along with the landscape kernel.

with that combination no tweaks should be needed for just video.

any issues or questions, simply contact me, and i will do all i can

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] boxhead72:
If you can help Diz, do so. He has some great stuff brewing away even though a bit of it is ice cold.

Has anyone tried Joy ? If you love a simple iPhone look give it a go
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] vince_junior:
who is joy? :-D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] boxhead72:
Joy is another ROM port, available from goo inside.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dizgustipated:
some additions that are coming:

*choose overscroll color

*volume swap depending on orientation

*move the clock

*show internet time in status bar

*change the style of the lockpattern screen

plus more!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] boxhead72:
Looking good Dis

Phone going great but a bit quiet on speaker

Its fast and no real issues yet. Nice work

http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

this is the correct gapps?

EDIT:

nevermind, I got Market to work now

I've tried the suggestion (2.0.8 + landscape kernel) and I think I may have done something wrong (but not sure) because most of my old videos (fansub anime) can't be played on the stock player now.

I downloaded MX player and found out the hw decoder can't handle them, but the sw fast decoder can (they're 8-bit btw) with a little stuttering on heavy movement scenes. Still, it's slower compared to old ROM on hw decoding mode.

What amazed me was how significantly faster the playback was when I ran a 10-BIT VIDEO using MX player's sw fast decoder. On the old ROM it played maybe 50% slower with the same setup.

I believe that if I can get the hardware decoding to work, I can play all the 8-bit videos in my collection with no slowdowns at all (since it can play 10-bit with SW fast decoder like a beast compared to the old ROM).

For now, I think I will go back to the old ROM since I need hw decoding to get a good playback. If I can find out how to solve hw decoding problem on this ROM, I will definitely be using it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Alcibiade:
Diz, an idea for your next kernel

Effectively overclocking the bus could lead to amazing performances increases if done properly

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1288015

If your kernel could leave us the option to do so we could probably have quite a lot of fun :)

Sorry, wrong post
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] espionage724:
Any news on this? I've been wanting to flash my tab back to this since a few games I usually play work best on this ROM, but I was waiting on a newer version to be released

Edit: Or maybe a newer version that needs testing? :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dizgustipated:
yes a new version is coming.

please excuse the slowness, since my device took a $h%# a few months back, testing and building is tortoise like :(

as always testers (or wanna be testers) contact me on gtalk @ BOCAroms@gmail.com

some additions being tested are:

(music)

*Let music player fade smoothly when playing/pausing/seeking - Author: Markus Dobel

(phone)

*Added SMS Service Support to phone

(Latin IME)

*Option to reverse volume key logic on cursor control

(contacts)

*Add individual contact call history and show groups yes/no setting on call log

*Added format number option to dialer

*Fix event dates shifted by a day for time zones left of GMT.

*Allow editing of events without year.

(dalvic and memory)

*Fix memory leaking in the VM

*Avoid method overriding if its super method is inaccessible.

*cleanup redundant interfaces from iftable to avoid excessive LinearAlloc use

*Don't malloc between fork and exec

*Undecoded jobject leaking in through attachThread

*Restore fp after calling JNI method in allstubs interpreter

this thread is dead , i suppose.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] badmania98:
I dont think so.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] boxhead72:
Exactly, Diz is busy working on the code, he does need to have a life as well.

So many people ***** and demand instant fixes and updates but NEVER donate.

Tell me why would Diz or any other developer put themself out for you if you will never donate a cent.

Do you know that compiling ROMS kills CPU's HD's and RAM, it is highly intensive work that ages those parts extremely quickly so really a Dev does this at a loss because they care and want to.

Thank the dev and show you appreciate their work by donating at least something if you can.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] vince_junior:
how did you know that kevin did not donate? do you have access to diz' accounts?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] badmania98:
Yes, it can. Nice work.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] boxhead72:
I don't and I am not saying they didn't. It is in general and I do know that it is very rare that anyone donates for Diz's work.

I donate money and time to help Diz create these ROMS for you.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] vince_junior:

Hi Diz,

Are you still working on GalaxyTab roms?

Just that I haven't seen you around in these forums for six weeks or so; hope everythings OK with you.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dizgustipated:
I haven't forgotten my first love (Sgt7)

But I couldn't gather enough funds for a new tab ($1300 car clutch work!)

I've been cleaning up code for BOCA os expansion.

Development in action (so far) for Samsung galaxy s, vibrant, fasinate, capitvate, blaze, s2 & s3.

Vibrantmtd test out now.

Sgt7 test out now.

Pastebin of BOCA os changes (as of yesterday) located here for the moment:

pastebin.com/KAtVu1Es

Hopefully soon, I can return to a tablet.

Till then none of this could be done without my testers. So thanks again guys!

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] boxhead72:
And it is looking good. Diz has done a lot of work with it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] xtmg1:

So I woke this morning to horrible news.

All my works for all devices I've done for the last 2 years (including red hot sensitive source code files) have been deleted from goo

Everyone's everything has been deleted according to soup and company.

http://snipanet.com/lustre-pain-and-goo/

This is the second time this has happened (multiupload was the first)

Why this is horrible (beyond the obvious)

My sourcecode patch files were there. Millions of code change lines.

And worse.... Yesterday I erased (on purpose) my whole hhd and reset the os .

Pure disaster! I had just finished up the galaxy s , and s2 builds.

What this means?

At this point no idea, but its not a good sign of fans of diz' works.

If you have a copy of any of my landscape or portraite p1000 p1000l or p1000n kernels, please contact me.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dizgustipated:
On the right track!

So here is a small story.

and a question. ;)

You love BOCA's tweakability and speed above all else, correct?

(Many shouts of, "YES!")

well I have been silently following a project called "cyanmobile"

https://github.com/CyanMobile/android_cyanmobile/blob/gingerbread/Definitions.txt

(Not the best description, but I see it all in their code)

Never interacting, nor "borrowing" ANY code. Simply watching.

I've always liked what I saw. A like minded dev.

Tweakability and backporting code to make/keep gingerbread the best os.

many many of the same mods, or ideas.

They have some I don't and vice versa.

Now they have gone open source :)

And I'm merging codes to see what kinda super franken-baby emerges.

The 2.3.8 is their idea, I agree with it, so left it

diz
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Sir Otto:
Incredible! That's what I've always thought! I've always believed hackers, developers and modders in the world would create an Android 2.4, and it would be the best Android version ever!

(Nothing against ICS n' JB, but I believe they must be well-optimized to work well with a device, especially with an old device like ours)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Yeah,I feel the same way against ICS/JB too.CM9 Stable has been pretty laggy for me so far.Can't wait to get back to BOCA :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Sir Otto:
I've already returned to Ginger through CyanogenMod 7.2, but I will immediately return to BOCA if this new release comes.

P.S.

Shh! Keep in a secret, especially with Chirayu Desai: battery drain in CM9 and 10 is terrible!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Lol,you're telling me.I feel GB is much more efficient. And BTW,your ROM is pretty cool,except for the Samsung task switcher ,but I can live with that:)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] boxhead72:
Hi All,

As a tester I can tell you DIZ is working on the TAB and BOCA for us.

I spend a lot of time testing many, I mean many ROMS from DIZ where he is trying and working (does this person ever sleep) on so many options for us to have the best device possible.

Diz does amazing things, we should all be thankful his love of the Tab is what it is. Please please if you can donate to Diz do so, this will allow Diz to buy a new tab.. Diz has a dead tab, I would give Diz mine but the cost of shipping to the US is not worth it so I have donated both money and time to make this happen.

If you can help please do.

As an example this would do nicely for Diz.

Dont know wtf is going on with squadzone and cyannobile github. But every commit makes it more and more unbuildable.

at this point its pretty hopeless. Not even his devices build.

So I'm holding off, I've spent way way way too many hours trying to fix.

(Upon my first mention of this union, cyanmobile code built 99.8% now its like 2%)

and everytime I get close, be pushes a commit that destroys buildability completely. And each new one makes it worse than the last.

So

what ill do is update Msi on this thread, and place the frankenbaby on the backburner.

If anyone is interested,

I'm $60 away in donations for a new sgt7!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] chickygamon:
Wait new Boca ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Sir Otto:
So no 2.3.8 for us?

Could I try a port by myself or will you feel betrayed?

Can I use your kernel to port?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dizgustipated:
Lol go for it. (Backburner doesn't mean I quit. & my project is a union of codes.)

My sgt7 build (from 6 days ago) built 99%. But now it stops fairly soon.

I am also mulling over an idea to either start a new thread here or on my site, called "frankenbaby DNA research" so if others want to do, whatever, they can join in.

(Samsung vibrant is the other device I am attempting to bring this to.)

Any and all can use my kernels or sourcecodes.

All I ask is credits, and sometimes links to project it's in.

(I simply like to know ;) )

@all

Msi will be 2.3.8, lol

frankenbaby will be 2.4

I am also adding in Zram compcache clean cache frontswap swap and a few other goodies to new kernel.

Thanks for the donations!

$50 away from rejoining the elite sgt7 users!

On a slightly unrelated note, I tried restocking with Hemidall from a MTD build of CM9. Heimdall flashed the kernel then failed and rebooted the tab (I was pretty scared when that happened) but the tab came back on :p

if anone wants to have a p1000N or L kernel, that they have built, included in said package, kindly post it or send it to me.

ill also link to it in OP

@P1000/T/R users

Want to upgrade your kernel AFTER, yes AFTER, you are fully booted and running?

Here is that ever elusive feature packed wheatley and lulzactive landscape kernel - sources on github.

http://db.tt/Hf0TbuFX

Only flash, if you are already fully booted and running any of my roms (below icedBOCA) - should work for MIUI rom also!

(Its a dropbox link, ill move it to goo, when i get home)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] espionage724:
Heimdall does have a repartition switch, but I question if it actually works or not.

If I went from a CM9 build and restocked, I would still have my previous files, even with the repartition switch.

I think I was reading about the repartition feature a few weeks ago and it turns out it might not work properly on all devices? Not sure

For the best results;

Looks like odin it is. It will clean everything up.

2 days bein using this rom, guys this rom is soooo amazing, best GB ROM for Gtabp P1000 so far, this is my experience with this rom.

1. WIFI working like a charm, connect to any Wifi router b/g/N with current bandwith speed

2. 3G speed conection is increase

3. Battery use is amazing, 7 hours with hard working phone (game, browsing, call, etc) still had 60% battery left with CPU set to 1200MHz Max 800MHz Min, i don't even made a battery calibration

3. fast GPS lock

4. 3D HW accel working great

5. diz-browser it's great, can't go to any other browser since this LOL

6.......and so many more + that you have try it your self, you wouldn't have any regrets when using this rom, i guarantee that.., :)

the only thing is annoying is the native android keyboard, but its never mind for me i just install Smart keyboard Pro...,

BOCA RC2 IS "GINGERBREAD KILLER ROM"

same here, installing other keyboard app fix the weird LOL

can't get what you mean, does other gtab had capatitive on upper side?? :D:D
