hi, I just got the 16g 3g tab from a shop, the firmware is kg5 which is running on hc 3.1
however I notice that there is no Touchwiz in my tab, what is inside is default honeycomb ui/launcher.
is it because it is running 3.1?
Go into settings->about tablet->software update. You are on the original version of 3.1 that was shipped out with the Tab, the new version of 3.1 can be downloaded and will have touchwiz.
I personally don't fancy TW, not a good interface & design...
Stock Honeycomb is far much better; just wish we had the version 3.2 on our Galaxies.

I just purchased a gtab last week.I was prepared to install a custom rom after reading all of the bad reviews. I can't find anything wrong with it yet. Did they make some improvements?
You can keep the stock rom just replace the stock Launcher with ADW Launcher EX or VTL launcher, it will complete change the feel of the tablet IMO. if you want it to run faster read up on Pershoot 1.4Ghz kernel for the Froyo and install it

I don't know what ROM you are on, but the current stock ROM is better than the original. If you are happy, stay with the ROM you have. If you want to play Plants vs Zombies and your ROM doesn't support it, try Vegan 5.1.1 (old school custom ROM, not flashy but it works well).
Like tsukaza said, a launcher can change the appearance/interface of your tablet without changing the ROM.
I have been running the Paris ROM and I wanted to revert back to stock. I downloaded the hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1 ROM and flashed it to my tab but it does not looks like the ROM that was there when I bought the tab.
I have the US version p7510 bought from Best Buy in October 2011. Can anyone help me out with either the original ROM or current stock ROM. I have searched but everything points to that same file I downloaded.
Thanks in advance
that is the original 3.1 image (from IO).
you probably had touchwiz 3.1 on your tab.
if that is the case, go to touchwiz-ux folder, and in there you will find 3.1 for touchwiz.

I have an O2 UK branded Galaxy S 2. O2 have released the ICS update for it on Kies. Can anyone tell me if this update allows the user to use the stock ICS launcher instead of the touchwiz rubbish.
I know I can install Apex Launcher on top but just wanted to check before hand.
TIA
It will never have stock launcher build in
But apex is basically modified stock launcher(nova is also good)
You have to get it from market or here at xda
1) Does this launcher work on i9100 Galaxy S2, because many sites redirects to that page, even if the phone is not i9000. If it will not work, what will?
1a) I assume this launcher changes the icons from stock android to Touchwiz looking? If not, what does then?
2) How can i get the closest Touchwiz look on CM10? Can i get any Samsung based applications and widgets, like clock, or weather? I dont like the look of pure vanilla Jelly Bean Android. I understand, that CM10 is currently a preview, and not fully stable, but when it comes out from the ''beta'', i assume things will work better on it?
3) Samsung based roms with customizations would be best. I see, that there are no 4.1.1 based S-based roms. Is that because Samsung hasn't released official 4.1.1 firmware for i9100?
3a) That means that Samsung based Touchwiz things only work on newer versions of Android, if Samsung supports them, with new official roms?
4) What is the talk about people wanting Samsung based (Touchwiz) camera on custom roms?
5) HTC Sense look would also be nice on Jelly Bean. Is that possible? Sense 3, or 4, both look nice.
I appreciate for every answer :good:
I was wondering if my tablet can handle ICS. It is 1.2GHz and it is running Android 2.3.4. Is there any ICS ROMs for Scroll Excel?
