cool news. I never expected samsung to do it. think about the nook - it's not even a "Tablet" per se.

since the samsung kernel is obviously open, and froyo and to a certain degree cm7 roms have been more or less successful on the tab, and more and more devs are porting to the tab now, I'd be surprised if a honeycomb rom doesn't exist for the tab sooner rather than later.

fake or not? How to install Android 3.0 Honeycomb on Samsung Galaxy Tab Read more: H

As discussed previously, that Google has decided to offer Android 3.0 (aka Honeycomb) to the Tablet devices only. Since Samsung Galaxy Tab is a one of the best selling tablets in the market now and currently runs at Android 2.2. But, how about getting Android 3.0, I mean if you have a Samsung Galaxy Tab and want to give Honeycomb a try on it, looks like we have got something for you.

However, before you proceed, you must understand that Honeycomb is still not official from Google’s end, and the basic build for the Galaxy Tab is still under development, so it is very much expected that bugs will be reported. But, if you believe that you can make it and just can’t wait for the port to be perfectly stable, may be you can get an early taste.

This build has been bought into light by XDA Developers forum. This tool has been exclusively designed for the purpose of cross-platform flashes onto Samsung Galaxy S Series devices.

Requirements for installing Honeycomb

USB cable, of your Samsung Galaxy Tab for PC connection.

Heimdall: Grab the cross-platform open-source tool suite used to flash firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung Galaxy S devices.

Most importantly Honeycomb ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

How to Install Honeycomb:

First of all you need to download Heimdall Suite on your PC and then install it.

Restart your system.

If you are a MAC OS X User and if you’re facing trouble starting Heimdall on your machine, you may need to install the QT files too, click here to get QT files.

Now you can extract the downloaded ROM and place it any folder on your PC.

Run Heimdall Suite.

Click the browse button present in the Heimdall Suite to add the components present inside the extracted ROM folder.

Now switch off/ Power off your Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Press and hold the Volume-Down and Home button, followed by the Power button and keep holding all three buttons unless your device enters the download mode.

Connect the Samsung Galaxy Tab to your PC via USB.

Now launch the Heimdall suite.

Wait for 10-15 min until the progress bar finishes and reboot.

Now your device will reboot into the recovery mode and then restart again into the new firmware

The first boot may take some time, so hold some patience.

Congratulation! You have successfully installed Honeycomb into your Samsung Galaxy Tab.

[Galaxy Tab General] kay_kiat88:
this is bull. i saw this post yesterday. they are actually referring to gingerbread from technomancer. they messed it all up by saying it's honeycomb. what a scam. if there's honeycomb we'll definitely see it on this forum.
[Galaxy Tab General] elvitas:
Honeycomb 3.0 SDK is out now!

Real Port for Galaxy Tab can start now :)

~ from Tab using XDA App. ~
[Galaxy Tab General] ju76:
thats not complete correct, you can start develop application for Honeycomb, but to port Honeycomb to a new hardwareplatform you need the source code from Honeycomb itself and this is closed for the moment. So the port to a new device is not possible for the moment.

The only sourcecode that you can download is for Source Code Available for Android 2.3 and older versions.
[Galaxy Tab General] jkurl:
It will be on the net tomorrow. Someone will pull the files off their xoom and post them and before it is said Motorola already confirmed the bootloader is both unlockable and lockable.

[Galaxy Tab General] vamp6x6x6x:
I have been waiting for the xoom to come out; not to buy one(because I like my Tab better), but so that the super special awesome devs here at xda can make a type of honeycomb for the Galaxy Tab as well as with any luck the Samsung Vibrant.

OK lets wait for the dump of the xoom :-)

[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
Didn't you read the title of that thread? Its just a SDK dump.

"Honeycomb official SDK dump"

Sent from my GT-P1000
[Galaxy Tab General] dkelley:
yes I did - that's where I was confused. since when is an sdk build a dump? just saying. it must be a matter of semantics. I've always understood a dump in this context to be sort of like a rip or a duplicate or copy taken from the firmware of a device.

an sdk doesn't give you that - it lets you build firmware, which you can then distribute of course, but that would be a build, not a dump.

so when I saw "dump" I got excited about it being from the xoom, naturally.

sorry for confusion but the other thread's title is a little unclear.
[Galaxy Tab General] RevenG:
As ju76 has stated before. Real porting cannot happen until source code is released. The source code is what is critcally needed to have a fully functioning port. The sdk is only good for developing apps and such.
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
I also got cunfused and excited when I saw it, but a SDK Dump is all the contents for easy access.

Sent from a Honeycomb centred Desire.
[Galaxy Tab General] dkelley:
cool. yes, it's helpful. just not what I thought since we're anticipating the xoom dump right now.

sorry for misinfo.

I've seen plenty of roms built from other phone's memory dumps - they're often not perfect and there will of course be hardware compatibility issues, but good fw doesnt' always have to be built from source. take htc sense roms for example. legend and slide work on hero but with lots of hacking involved by the rom builder. not source code level stuff typically since it's lots of libs and exes, although sometimes some hex editing is needed, but lots of library replacements and tweaking and ini file and config file and preference editing.

so it might be possible to work from the xoom dump. at least should be helpful in some way.

crossing my fingers - if and when we do get a xoom dump.
[Galaxy Tab General] bullyfrog:
Xoom dump is on xda's xoom developers section..just saw it there..fyi :-)
[Galaxy Tab General] budalica:
Haha if T-mobile or sprint make it , you already donated enough . :)
[Galaxy Tab General] dkelley:
sweet!

Just got my tab - used - after wiping it booted into startup screens in chinese (which I personally don't read or know at all). LoL. so bought it, took it to work, couldn't use it, learned very quickly how to flash a rom on this baby. now I'm running Roto-JMI-Full-v2

which is dramatically faster than the stock (but rooted) ffice tab I've been playing with until I bought my own.

nice! now xoom honeycomb port to the tab over the next few months and life will be good.

I think it's time I started getting into fw development in android - I've been an app dev for android for a while but work on the fw team at my job so might as well combine them.

not that I can contribute anything at all for a while - but hc on the tab is reason enough to learn.
[Galaxy Tab General] Bugman1:
Motorola released the Xoom today for sale to the public. After it hit the market it was just a matter of a few hours before a dump showed up. Within 24 hours every Android forum on the net will have the dump.

The problem will be in finding a dev that will take on the task of porting it to the Tab. That won't be an easy task for even the most experienced developer. It'll take time, skill and patience to get a reliable working port of Honeycomb from the Xoom to the Tab.

What we need is dump from a Samsung device that runs Honeycomb and I don't think that Samsung has released a device with honeycomb installed....yet.
[Galaxy Tab General] ju76:
The problem with porting any kind of stuf from a device to another is, that the firmware(microcodes modem/cpu ...), libs, kernel and application don't match execly together. So you must have the Android Honeycomb Sourcecode for making the driver and kernel for this device, with the new api calls for the application and the hardware (microcodes modem/cpu ...)

Without this steps it is not possible to make a complete working firmware for the Tab.

If you copy only files from one device to another and you called this ,,porting" - this is only the same, like script kiddies writes a virus. they c&p files/code and you waste your time.

Motorola Xoom HoneyComb System Image Dump

[Galaxy Tab General] RevenG:
I am not even gonna flash any attempt at a port until the source code is released. It will be a lot less buggy.
[Galaxy Tab General] Unimaginative:
I don't mean to rain on your collective parades, but I'm pretty sure that's just going to be a dump of /system from the Xoom, which is most definitely not a full ROM or going to help must in getting Honeycomb on the P1000. Every time a new device turns up someone will put a /system partition dump up (it happened on the GT-i9000 forums when the P1000 turned up, etc). Going by simple examples here and here, shoe-horning someone else's kernel onto another device without any native resources is nigh impossible.

TL;DR, don't get your hopes up.
[Galaxy Tab General] RevenG:
Thank you. I've been tried telling them that a dump won't work.
[Galaxy Tab General] nickmgray:
I know it's nearly impossible to get a fully functional ROM from a system dump or the SDK, but it's a bit disappointing that on one here has even tried to port Honeycomb to the Galaxy Tab yet.

Come on people, the T-Mobile G1 and HTC Magic are running Honeycomb! An SDK port won't be perfect, but it'll give us a good idea of how Honeycomb will work and look like on the Tab. Not to make anyone mad, but it's just funny to me that the Nook development community is pushing the boundaries of what's possible on their eReader while there's no Honeycomb work even being done for the Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] wallah:
+1
[Galaxy Tab General] lockheedload:
You're absolutely correct. It's sad how active the dev community over there is compared to the Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] dkelley:
+1

have the ppl who are saying it won't work (here) actually tried a nook running honeycomb based on a prerelease sdk build? try it. then you might change your mind.
[Galaxy Tab General] dkelley:
yes. the tab is a nook on steroids - why is the concentration on the nook?

It isn't THAT much less expensive... I just bought a used tab rather than a nook for that very reason despite the nook's dev community being far more prolific and bleeding edge experimental.

it's heavier, has an inferior gpu, and has no audio input at all, borked BT, no gps, no cameras, and for all I know it might not even have a compass or other standard android sensors.

I hope a nook developer who is agressive and experienced buys a tab and comes over here with that knowledge and attitude :-)

I love the work done on the tab in this community, but the nook community is doing the seemingly impossible with less than we have here.
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
Its ok, we still have the best 7inch device availible

Swyped from a galaxy far far away...
[Galaxy Tab General] [[ Cold ]]:
that's precisely why it's harder on the galaxy tab... al the support for the " extra" things over the nook
[Galaxy Tab General] dkelley:
yes that's true, however wouldn't you be happy with honeycomb running as well as (or better than) it does on the nook color? cameras would be nice and so on, but withotu all that we would still likely run faster than the nook due to our dramatically superior gpu (superior to most devices for that matter).
[Galaxy Tab General] dkelley:
one thing that makes this all cooler on the nook is how it boots from micro sd. you can swap OSes really easily on the nook as a result - just keep some microsd cards handy. on ours, if we flash honeycomb, which might be sexy and easier to navigate but will have broken hardware support and maybe some missing app/game support too for now... then we would presumably have to reflash something else if we wanted temporary use of a different OS.

is there any way for bootup to be like it is on the nook where default setup is booting from microsd? or some other type of multiboot setup for the tab?

this would solve any concerns about broken hardware or feature support in honeycomb builds for the time being I think.
[Galaxy Tab General] btyork:
The fact that it isn't "nandroid" is a problem in itself. As an HD2 owner, I've used android off the sd card. It's terrible. When it was released it was great for the dev community, and put them in the right direction, but was far less than optimal.

I'm not saying it wouldn't be in the right direction, but on the wrong path for sure. The reasoning for sd booting is because the hardware came with a different OS. (windows for the hd2) likely has to do with improper boot software.
[Galaxy Tab General] dkelley:
ok, makes sense. although the color nook comes with android with lots of customizations done to it ftr. otherwise I wouldn't have suggested it as an option. and according to color nook users it's plenty fast enough for daily use to run the OS off the micro sd card if you buy a class 6 card, and some ppl find class 4s ok too. again, otherwise I wouldn't have suggested it as an option.

But yes nandroid would be ok but nothing is as convenient as choosing a different os at bootup and not having to wait for restores or backups, or popping in the sd card of your favorite os and having it just bootup instantly without anything else needed.

cwm's nandroid [or BART backup/restore (or possibly nandroid + ext if you don't mind the bulk) if it ever gets to the point of having ext-based apps2sd for whatever reason] would be a useful workaround to dual booting, but certainly not nearly as fast as true dual booting. of course with different sd cards or true multiboot based on partitions etc you don't have to worry about backing up your current OS before booting into the other one - it saves teh state, apps as normal. boot a different OS, that one is back as it was last time you used it also, although potentially with the same updated internal sd card data (for better or worse). I like that concept a lot. Dual booting would enable playing with other OSes like GB, 3.0, or hopefully the ubuntu builds being currently worked on (where dual booting is I think being discussed seriously for these same reasons).

Dual booting I guess is really a different topic, but it's one of the significant reasons why ppl using nook colors are so happy with 3.0 - they dont' need to think twice about running it since they can go back to any other OS, even stock nook android os with it's extra reader GUI customizations, just by popping in a different card or removing the card completely.

I'm kinda disappointed to see this not end up anywhere - i RECENTLY purchased a galaxy tab at a ridiculous price from some guy off craigslist... I did so hoping that afterwards, I could come to the forums and just get my Honeycomb fix from the guys here. I suppose I should have done my homework a bit better and just waited for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 or the Xoom Wifi only if I wanted it. Well - it was wishful thinking and I guess I can't complain for a $250 tablet...
[Galaxy Tab General] xalucardx:
I think is more easy to get a tab to a dev that really want to make the port if he dont have it than make a bounty for the honeycomb port to anyone out there. *edit* anyone have tought of asking to any of the top devs on the galaxy s variants phones? I already asked but said no , he quit on the vibrant for people being @holes.
[Galaxy Tab General] seraphimserapis:
You guys should consider the fact that there is currently no sourcecode for Honeycomb out yet.

Any time Google releases some code to the devs you can be sure that someone tries to do this job.

Until that you guys just have to be patient. Of course you want to have a look into Honeycomb and all the cool features it brings to the users but the experience won't be good if it's just a dirty hack.
[Galaxy Tab General] xalucardx:
Yeah I know , at least I hope samsung make annun official update , but thats maybe wont happen or maybe not before 10.1 come out , they will use that to boost their sales. P.S I tryed HC on the MT4G and is awesome , needs work but awesome :D

to reiterate, although the aosp source hasn't been released yet, the sdk builds for other devices work really well already.

Why don't we at least have an sdk build for the galaxy tab to mess around with? Is it that people who spend this much on a tablet don't want to play with experimental but extremely cool user interfaces before their official release?

I personally think it would be fun, at the very least. on the nook it's a very respectable and perfectly functional device when running their sdk based honeycomb build.

Can someone with a Bell issued Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 tell me if they've had success with any of Darky's latest roms?

When I got my phone 3 weeks ago, I installed 8.1. I had a problem where the phone answer app would crash when I received a phone call.

I upgraded to 9.0.1 when it was released and the phone app crash was solved. However, other apps would often crash, and it seemed slightly buggy. At some point, i rebooted the phone and the boot screen would go for 15s, then freeze momentarily, then resume. This would happen over and over again, indefinitely and the phone would never boot.

This morning, I upgraded to 9.1. However, apps are still crashing. For example, I'm unable to open the Market app. It crashes immediately. This is after I added my google and exchange accounts and successfully received all my email.

Not sure what to do at this point. Does anybody have any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] killer23d:
My gf has a Bell i9000m and is running Darky's 9.01 without any problems.

I would suggest you start from scratch by first unmounting the internal SD and format it. Copy Darky's ROM to it. Then boot to recovery mode and do a full reset in CWM recovery, and re-install from ZIP again.

She came from stock 2.1 JG2 to Doc's V8 and Darky's.

The current Darky is kind of buggy, if you could find the 9.01, that is a better version.
