I will get my Galaxy Tab 10.1 32G WiFi on Saturday, 10/15.
So if you had to go back and set things up again how would you do it now?
I know I will want to root it, and load a fast Rom, Task650 & In Paris? Something fast, good for HD playback and with out lags.
I am a beginner, well got my nook color on CM7.
So what things should I do first?
I.e. backup using what? Backup everything or just partial?
Clockworkmod ( I think I saw a post to boot into it...)
What else? If you can over view what you would do, or did, I should be able to find the details.
I guess ADW EX is recommended, but I have no budget for apps. (The GT is a gift, as I am unemployed...) So maybe ADW is good enough?
I just don't want to load up apps, then have to start over with a different rom or build. I like to set things up right the first time.
Thanks for any and all help.
In this order:
Pay for and install titanium backup pro. Do a backup of all apps.
Root.
Install CWM, create a full backup.
Flash Paris V4 ROM and pershoot's kernel.
Get SetCPU (free, search the XDA forums), install, and overclock to 1.4.
Now you're ready to find some apps!
Enjoy!
You need to be rooted to use titanium backup so.....switch the first two steps above....
It's a tablet dammit! Not a BIG phone....
Great, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to both.

Any others agree or disagree with this, or something missing? (It looks good to me.)

Agreed.
I would, however, after doing all that and getting things set up how I want them, create another nandroid backup (the CWM backup).
This way you wont have to repeat the last 2 steps if you mess something up afterwards.
Thanks, for the conformation. Good idea about the additional backup. It seems obvious now, but I didn't think of it before.
So for Paris and pershoots, these are the right ones you are talking about?

Yep yep. Those are it.
Tivo7, I notice you are running "Task+Phantom's In Paris V4 (Stock Kernel)". May I ask why you are not using pershoots kernal? Just thinking you are more experienced than I am and you stayed with stock kernal.

I found no personal need to flash pershoot's kernel. If you're looking to optimize your device, pershoot's is the way to go.
I mainly stayed with stock because I do a lot of my own mods and some of them don't work on his kernel.

Hi
Sorry to post this questions so please don't reply with search the forum cause I already did. Hard to figure out through so many posts and info
a. I have the lag issue. What is the most updated and safe way to fix this?
b. What is the best way to root the phone?
c. any other fixes I should look into?
d. should I backup all my phone before? how could i do that?
e. what would be the best rom to install?
f. what other things should i keep in mind?
I'm trying not to mess things up cause I'm a newbie and is my wife's phone and that makes me be more cautious. I have a G2 that so far is easier to figure out (no roms or root just temporary )
p.s. if I buy an app can I use it on 2 phones?
easy way:
1. root with oclf (in market)
2. Install rom manager and clockwork recovery.
3. titanium backup (if you want to)
4. ext2 lagfix with oclf
i'm still on stock rooted, but eugene's or bionix roms are the way to go if you want a custom rom.
did you check the vibrant bible thread in general?
I use a one click root method and bionix fusion rom. I just recently started flashing the rom and other software on this phone so I don't have an opinion on other roms, but I couldn't imagine any being significantly better than this. I think most have been refined enough now that it comes down to aesthetic preference and options included.
I tried bionix 1.9.1 which ran well, but fusion made me come to realization that I don't prefer the touchwiz launcher. I currently use fusion with the kingklick kernel overclocked to 1.2ghz. I added the voodoo lag fix last night and I've noticed zero lag or stalling today. Not that the fusion and overclock had lag, but I really just wanted to see how smooth this phone could be. I'm very pleased with the phone now.

would you guys mind to post some links as towards the right threads? Would be less confusion in my head
I appreciate
Go to the General section sticky. All of your questions are answered in depth and have links.
I would root with the update file (no one click needed).
I would put rom manager on and clockwork recovery
make a backup of your system
If you have a number of apps, use titanium backup to save all apps+data so you can easily restore them.
download one of bionix's roms (bionix if you want TW, fusion if you do not). I LOVE Fusion. Bionix incluces TB in his rom now so you can just start restoring your apps... be sure to follow his instructions for flashing the rom.
You do NOT need a lag fix.... trust me on this. Flash the rom before you do anything like that.

Sorry I'm kind of noob, and I just got my vibrant this weekend. But what's the difference between rooting it with the update file vs the one click method in the OCLF? What benefits does that have over the other?
And why do you not need a lag fix? How do I tell if my phone needs a lag fix? I'm currently running fresh stock, and I haven't really noticed any significant lag other than the occasional stalling between menus.
Thanks!
If you notice the lag or not will depend on what phone you had before but once you install a fix it will be obvious it was there

i'm a noob and just figured some basic steps as rooting, lagfix, flashing a ROM like bionix fusion 1.1 (the new one, guess i was one of the firsts to install it) after running into some issues I've managed ... and tell you the truth if you have some it knowledge is really worth. The phone ROCKS now.
rooting is good for stuff like removing system applications (that you don't need), making backups, flashing new roms other the stock one (the one that you have now "stock") little bit more "advanced stuff"
lagfix: well i've noticed the lag later after I installed some apps. More apps. Big lag ... annoying. Phone got very slow. that's why you need lag fix (but if you flash Bionix Fusion for ex than you're fine no more lag fix)
If you're interested in some help I'm willing to help considering some guys around helped me too so I'm just returning that to the comunity
pm or post here if need some step by step how to.
Just flashed fusion JAC and I'm getting some lag, what's a good lag fix? Voodoo? OCLF?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I've used Bionix and Fusion (both with undervolt/overclocked + Voodoo lagfix). Just flashed eugene's latest Froyo last night. If you can live without the GPS functions for now, the Froyo ROM is fantastic. It fixes a lot of the gripesI had with the UI of the 2.1 ROMS-I can have my Google calendar as my default calendar for new appointments, Contacts are cleaner while still having social media integration, I can actually use Skype, Flash, and all of the other Android 2.2 goodies. There's no lag with this ROM right out of the box.
It's so much better that I will live without the GPS features for now and use it as my daily driver. Read the opening post here.

Can't use OCLF with Fusion. Have to use Voodoo or the EXT2 provided in the OP. Voodoo is great as long as you are confident you are able to 1. remember to disable before flashing anything else and 2. ABLE to disable before flashing anything else.
I've got bionix fusion 1.1 the one released last night as well
it rocks for me. By the way my navigation is working. And it has the new nice navigation application. I just had to wait a little bit longer.
i would not recommend using OCLF....
i would flash the new Bionix Fusion ROM w/ KK OC/UV kernel then apply the EXT2 lagfix.....ITS SO ****IN FAST!!!

The title says it all. its annoying that my downloaded apps are together with my preinstalled apps. There is no options to do it when i press options button in the menu
I also hate the fact that they're all in one..
I think im going back to lg original rom, where can i get it? or maybe void rom? i didnt do nand backup when i install megatron rom.
other question, i found that signedkernel.zip(lag when hold fix kernel) doesnt work on megatron rom. or is it just me?
Original ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875881 The void rom seems incredibly risky...

This a more detailed version of how to return to stock including tips from other users who have done it before. I believe that they are grouped together since the ROM is ROOTED. So all custom ROMs will be the same. I think when I used stock rom and rooted my phone, they all came together again.
If you just want the categories feature of the launcher, switch back to LG Home (the stock launcher).

please tell me how to do that, im so desperate to separate my downloaded apps and preinstalled apps from together but still using megatron rom. i would be happy.
another question, if i uninstall the setcpu apps, will my processor back to default(600mhz)?
and the signedkernel.zip(lag when touch fix kernel) seems like doesnt work when i installed megatron rom. when i play pes it still lag when i move the player. but before installing the megatron rom, the kernel worked, its smooth when i play pes. so i thought maybe installing a new rom would delete the kernel, so install the kernel again. and still, the same result. if you guys can help me i would be the happiest man alive. lol

Everything else, no idea. AFAIK Megatron automatically overclocks your phone somewhere at 700MHz on boot, so yeah, it's still OC'ed.

thanks, so i should dl and install lghome.apk from the link you gave me then i can create category in the menu with options button again, but still with megatron rom? cool
owh i see, so i dont think i need setcpu anymore to oc my phone cos like u said megatron rom automatically oc our phone to 700mhz right. mine is running 800mhz using setcpu. so is that mean if i uninstall setcpu, my processor will be back to 700mhz right.
hmm is there anyway i can force all my downloaded apps and games especially gameloft to sdcard?
and one last question, how can i uninstall my current kernel? i want to confirm myself did the lag when hold fixed kernel(forgot the name) work or not when using megatron rom. or maybe itr just me.
anyway thanks so much and waiting for the next reply
Hey guys, My current rom right now is CM7 with imoseyens kernel, its great and all but i am experiencing things i didnt experience before i.e. bugs and lags and I am just wondering how can i go back to the original cm7 rom+kernel without loosing all my apps (cracked ones). Thats all i really care about. I am rooted via the 1 click root in ScoobarSTI's tutorial in the general section. Thanks for reading
Just back up the apps using Titanium back up. You should really pay the Devs. And I've experienced problems with the imo kernel I'm on sense now tell there's a actually a kernel with no bugs on aosp.
I have have so much apps and i wish i could support them all unfortunately i can only support a couple
If your going to be using the same cm7 again then just flash it on top of your current setup. I will retain your apps and flash the stock kernel again.
Well, I am learning a lot of things on HOW TO ANDROIDS. I am glad my iPhone broke and that I got an android now. It's so awesome, I decided to go with Thunderstick since it has a working MyVerizon and NFL Mobile. Thanks for your help guys.
ya, just use titanium backup. and make sure to backup your rom, so if you do lose your apps somehow, you an just restore the rom and get them back
I've rooted my Tab, and backed it up with Titanium and removed some bloatware. But what should I do now? Any suggested root only apps, I've downloaded Task10 ROM but not yet installed it, but I may wait for an ICS build.. Just wondering what others have done with their rooted Tabs.
Download ROM Manager and use it to flash the latest CWM recovery(if it's not already there) and make a nandroid backup, then start flashing ROMs, my favorite is the galaxy task 10 but feel free to try other stuff
If you're looking for a good ICS buid try this one, I have it on now and it's working pretty well:

After reading over lots and lots of threads, I finally got up the courage to root my phone.
I followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746181
I flashed the "Kernel + Modem + Cache + Rooted UCLE5 System Package" using Odin, downloaded Mobile Odin, and then flashed the safe Siyah 4.3.3 kernel w/o mic swap to avoid bricking due to the eMMc bug. Everything seems to be working fine. I have Superuser, Mobile Odin, and CWM Recovery.
My question is what are my ROM choices and how do I go about installing them?
I'f I'm reading the instructions correctly in the thread with the rooting instructions, I only have the three options for kernels in that thread and I MUST use a w/o mic swap version.
On the Siyah thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592228, the only ROMs listed that work with w/o mic swap Siyah are Criskelo and UCLD3. Are these my only choices for ROM?
Are these the proper files for Criskelo?
Criskelo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500891&highlight=criskelo
I can't seem to find the files for UCLD3.
To be clear, I was coming from a stock i777 with stock ICS and UCLE5. I'm now running 4.0.3, I777UCLE5, 3.1.0-rc8-Siyah-v4.3.3-nomswap ([email protected]).
Thanks for any help. I've searched and read a ton, but I just can't make sense of it all.

"You must use an ICS kernel, and it must work with Samsung firmware, and be the no-mic-swap version. If you install a Gingerbread kernel the phone will not boot."

it means that if you use an ALTERNATE kernel, which a lot of people like to do, then you must abide by those guidelines. all roms come packaged with a 'recommended' kernel....just flash one and you will see.

Good choice for a first ROM. When you get bored with that Shostock3 is really nice but wait until 1.5 comes out. It has some fixes that will polish it up nicely.

Would going to SHOStock3 require a wipe? I understand that upgrading to new versions of an existing ROM usually does not, but since this is a different ROM it seems like it would require the full wipe.
What is the easiest way to retain as many of my settings, etc... as possible when doing full wipes? I have Titanium Backup already. Is there another program that will help me retain more?

Once you get accustomed to it, flashing with a full wipe isn't too bad. Make a nandroid backup in case you decide to go back. And I would recommend you buy the full version of titanium back up to get the batch features, and support the developer. It is probably the most important app for those that flash regularly.
I can fully wipe and flash and have everything back up and running the exact same way it was in like 10 minutes. But I like the chance to start fresh
