[Q] Remove TouchWiz on LTE - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really dislike the TouchWiz update that rolled out for the VZ Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G. How can I get rid of this or go to a custom rom without it?
My tablet is SO clunky with this update.

Flash one of the ICS roms on your tablet...you'll lose LTe (or any data for that matter) but its worth it!!

I think the only thing I will miss about touchwiz is mini apps. I disliked them at first but now depend on the calculator quite a bit. Its nice to have something to overlay on another app when doing some quick calcs.
None of us will miss the lag though.
Might be a while before our modem is supported in cm 9 but they are working on it.

Unfortunately I need my LTE data. If I use Odin to go back - do I go back to 3.1 or can I still get to 3.2?

[Q] Getting a Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G, some general questions

Well I'm getting a Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G soon from my carrier, Rogers. I have absolutely no experience with Android so this will all be new to me. I am curious about a couple of things.
I heard that it'll come pre-installed with TouchWiz. How could I change it so that I have the pure Honeycomb experience (custom ROM?) while maintaining the ability to connect to my carrier (Rogers)?
I'm aware of how to root it after reading this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239185
Is there any difference in rooting a device from Rogers and what should I look out for?
I was also told that the tablet has a flash counter that would allow Samsung to know if I rooted my tablet voiding my warranty. Is there any way to bypass it?
Do you have suggestions for apps to install?
Any other general tips?
Thanks!
Honestly touhwiz is not that bad on honecomb. Try it out.
But only way to get a pure android is experience with honeycomb experience is rooting, but that i am aware im not to sure if there is a pure honeycomb rom out there. They're mainly based on the samsung updates.
Like i said try touchwiz out, if you don't like wait until cm9 comes out and try ics.
Yep; dont worry about Touchwizz; it is far form being as much intrusive as most other UI; it is really light.
In fact, it is barely like 3-4 homescreen-disposable widgets plus 6 more embedded in the system bar that you wont probably ever trigger (or remember) after the first couple of days..
Rogers GTab10.1 "faux-G" ; after a couple days of use; it is really great. It never let me down nor gave me any "force close" of any kind.
Now, if you can live with only 16gb, not expendable, and you dont mind 'bout HDMI-Out either (adapters exists, but are expensive), it is really a good choice.
Regarding battery life; it is a tank.
And 3/3.5/faux-G speed is more than enough;
Unless you plan to rely on this for your next Battlefield 3 tournament, LTE is a luxury you can afford to skip.
im also wondering about the flash counter...
where and how can you check it to see if its more than 0?
what will make it go up to 1, is it flashing anything other than samsung files through Odin? or can you still flash anything through odin such as ROM's and needed files to get root but as long as they are based on stock kernel the flash counter wont go up to 1?

[Q] Anyone staying on their Note's stock ROM?

Surprised myself and after two weeks of ownership I am still on the I717 Note's stock ROM. This was after constantly ROM flashing on my prior Android Samsung Infuse and iPhone4 & 3G (Jailbreak of course).
Stock battery life is decent and launchers like GO, ADW, etc. give plenty of ability to change icons, UI behavior, etc.
So far I haven't found any annoying problems that would require me to fix via rooting.
I HAD to root my prior Samsung Infuse because it had software bugs that required root to fix BUT I am real PROUD of my Note's ability to run strong and solid as a stock ROM. I haven't been forced to reboot yet in 2 weeks of ownership! Yeha!
For myself the KEY is to make myself to NOT TO LOOK AT Applications:Running Services...it makes me sick to see all those unnecessary apps loaded up.
I simply wanted to see how the Note behaved out-of-the box...and so far real impressed.
Will I ever ROOT - Probably, just to get rid of bloatware AND I will need to tether occasionally once I start traveling again.
Will I ever replace the ROM? Not sure, depends on features but definitely not interested in ROMs that just change icons, startup screens and colors.
anyway, this is just post to say how satisfied, thus far, with the Note's performance...as is.
Anything I'm missing that needs root to fix?

You can stop those with Autostarts (free in the market), and requires root. It prevents them from opening at all. If you end up checking it out, use the "after startup" disable option.
- Root required apps (there a lot of really good ones - this alone would be enough for me to root).
If you're not interested in theming, or a lot of modifications, then stock is cool. Features, changes, and modifications from custom roms can be patched to stock roms; the only advantage of using custom ones is that they're baked in for you.
I am sticking on stock rom for now, just going to root so I can restore a lot of my old apps, nothing more.
I've already flashed Da_G's root/over clock kernel, which got rid of the lag I was seeing. As soon as cwm comes out of beta I'm going to check out saurom. The Note's out of the box experience is one of the best I've seen, but there is just too much improvement to be had to stay stock, IMHO.

I think it is a good idea to stay all stock until ics update comes out and we apply it. (I expect them to want us to be all stock when applying the ics update that is why)

Fair enough but there will be several ICS Roms months before official AT&T. (I am typing from my ICS Captivate right now for example). Plus you can always flash back to stock.

I was stock from best buy to my house and that's it and I can't wait till I can get a sub 100mb ROM onto here. The bloat is sickening and even after removing down to mid 100 it's still not performing to it's non touchwiz potential.
Just to throw in my two-cents, I am fairly impressed as well with the Touchwiz 4.0 interface. Coming from an Atrix (blur) and Inspire (sense), touchwiz is a big step up imo. It feels like gingerbread done right to me. Although it isn't without a few issues, like the slight but noticable lag (to be fair all stock roms seem to stutter a bit occasionally), the no wallpaper scrolling and no landscape mode for the touchwiz launcher.
I think it will be interesting to see what devs or even Samsung/AT&T come up with to merge Touchwiz and ICS. It's gonna be a good year in the ROM community on this phone I can feel it.
Both my notes are on stock. I have no need for a rom.

Yeah but... stock IS a ROM, too.
I think it is a great thing that this phone is so good that we can use it stock. Haven't got mine yet but I only plan to Root it and use stock for a few weeks, at least.
So far yes
Right now there really aren't that many roms for the galaxy note lte so I'm going to wait until ICS comes out play with that for a while then I'll be flashing away!
I think people obsess over nothing rather than actually use their devices. That said, I'm not bothering to flash anyone's cooked ROM until there's an ICS update from Samsung.

^That, less the o/c kernel. The performance boost isn't exacted necessary, but you WILL notice it.
I was going to try and stick with the stock ROM as long as possible. However, my addiction got the best of me, and im now laying in bed at the end of my first full day with my Note, and I'm running TPC2 with Da_G's OC kernel. Go figure. Haha.
Not that I was having troubles with the stock ROM, as it was actually really smooth and lag free for the most part. On the other hand, now my Note is an absolute beast. The Note is definitely the first Android I've been happy with out of the box, but I would still rather be running a custom ROM, if not just so I can tell people it's running custom software when I show them my phone.
Samsung really hit it out of the park with this phone. I will never look at a smaller phone the same way again. Forever ruined! And I find the SPen to be really comfy for just navigating my phone and precision of selection. Swyping is fun with it.

I think it's not necessary for me to do anything yet. But don't get me wrong, I will root the phone eventually. I have a real problem with ATT telling me that I "have" to suffer software I don't want on MY phone. That in its self encourages me to root. But, I am waiting to see if ICS is really going to be available soon.
I wonder though if Rooting would affect the upgrade process--perhaps someone could answer this for me. If not, I would be tempted to root my Note after the thirty days (window of time for return) is up.
I flashed roms daily on my Inspire, but I am stock now and planning on staying that way forever or at least until If leaks. the only thing I've done is root to disable ads and remove bloatware.
I'm still stock. I've rooted and jailbrake-ed other phones. I really like this one the way it is. The bloatware etc don't bother me much. I may root after ICS. For now, my Note rocks pretty hard just the way it is.

Are you asking if root will affect upgrading to ICS? The answer to that is no. If you flash a custom ROM then that answer is yes. You would need to go back to stock ROM for the ICS update from ATT. However, there will be ICS ROMs here well before ATT releases it.
What's the 30 days thing? Not getting that part. What happens in 30 days? Maybe you mean the window to return your Note. I agree you might want to wait for that to expire before root. But you can also un-root if you want.
I'm on stock rom and don't plan to root anytime soon for both of my devices the note and gnex!

is it worth it to root and upgrade to ics?

I got a 10.1 wifi recently and am wondering if its worth it to root now and get ics installed (with the -of no camera) or to wait untill samsung gets its act together, and get the offical version.
You're asking in an Android Hacking forum, we're all rooted and I'd bet 80% are running ICS .
If you can live without the camera then definitely go for it, if you're comfortable. You could be waiting a while on Samsung, they tend to delay such things.
If do decide to root it, don't be afraid to ask questions here. Welcome to XDA.
I don't know if the question asked is appropriate or a trick question considering this forum is completely dedicated to the benefits of hacking to gain maximum benefit.

It's really not very hard to try it out for yourself and see if you like it. You can always flash back to stock if you need to.
I have CM9 ICS on my personal tablet, but am still using 3.2 on my G-Tab 10.1 because I need the camera for work. I am running the Overcome ROM on it though, which gives me a little more options/flexibility than stock samsung.
but as far as performance, there is little difference between 3.2 HC and ICS (at least at this point). There are some UI differences that I like, but they are minor changes from honeycomb, so don't expect a huge difference on ICS.
Easy answer: yes, it is. And it's very easy to install ics. Just do it and have fun.
Three more questions:
Is there any other bugs besides the camera not working?
And any links to upto date root and ics (i think i read 4.0.4?)?
Is it not possible to get the camera drivers (which from what I have read is the missing link) from the old stock version?
Fyi I have the Samsung 10.1 wifi gt-p7510
Thank you guys already I am not trolling btw i have never rooted/ flash a new operating system on android and kind of afraid of bricking my tablet.

QBKing77 has great video instructions on YouTube,check it out. Very easy. Make sure you do a backup b4 putting a rom on and make sure it's for your Tab. Only issue I have ever had is no camera, but I knew that going in and I use my S2 for pics anyway. We can't get the camera because Sammy will not release the needed info. You can brick your tablet that's a risk but there r ways to unbrick, like I said just make sure the root method and from is for your version of the Galaxy Tab.

Once rooted you wont look back and its so easy and quick to do. Much more freedom IMO, I started with ICS and its great, but went back to HC just because of the camera. Such a shame, I have htc dhd phone rooted on ics and camera works fine, just a samsung thing.
As said previously, give it a try
Question about rooting what dose it allow you to do?
Rooting allows you to gain access to the system files, lets just say its like your employee ID to get into your company
i rooted my g tab to ics once, i guess it was worth it, but i went back to honeycomb because of the camera.
It's not like camera on a tab plays a great feature, because taking pictures with the tab is like using a laptop to take a 5MP picture.
I'd say I never use the camera on my tab.......... Until I flashed ics then I just kept needing it think it's just a case of wanting what you don't have.. So I'm back to HC.
Is there any good roms out there with the camera working? Sorry for the noob question, Im a new tab owner.

I use the camera with visidon which lets me face lock certain apps, also lets me make video calls and google goggles to translate foreign signs so yeah camera is a must have for me and not necessarily for taking pictures

Sorry to bump this, but I'm curious to know if it's easy to replace the tablet for a decent price? That's really my only concern about rooting my tablet.
Of course it is, you are in the right place
i havent flashed the 10.1 to ICS purely because i use the camera for such things as skype or google hangouts.
so im using overcome rom, but i miss being able to group apps into a folder like ICS can do
ICS Or Not??? That is the Question!!!!
Over the last 6 months I have tried every ROM listed for the Galaxy Tab here on XDA, including ICS. I must say ICS offers better battery life, faster processing and better visuals, but I am like a few others and need the camera so I am sticking with Galaxy Task Rom. Out of all of them it is the most stable, and fastest giving me Quadrant Scores of just under 3100. Using ICS I was closer to 3600 and I thought at one point hit 3800, but I think that was a fluke, but then I had no camera, so back to 3.2. For me I have compiled the best apps I could to make my tablet a screamer.....If you have any others please let me know.
Galaxy Task
OC 1.4 Pershoot Kernel (is there a 1.5 or 1.6)
Swapper File @ 500mb (app)
SD Speed Boost set at 4000 (app)
Volume + set on Beats Emulation with +10 speaker increase (app)
Poweramp for a 10 band equalizer for great sound (app)
Now using the same apps with ICS made it ultra fast. But I wish the camera worked.
Definately appreciate everyone on here with their input.....my knowledge is only as good as flashing and recovery, but am trying to learn more as I move forward. Love the Galaxy Tab, it is my 10th tablet I have owned and my favorite. Now I have to figure out how to flash my Atrix 2 phone........love this site!!!!
Quick ques about ICS Roms [from what I've seen in Cm9/Muiu]
1. can you change screen mode [dynamic/movie/normal]
2. change font styles?
I don't remember seeing these options, but it was about a month ago when I flashed these Roms?

4.2.2 on HTC One

You won't be able to. All current sense based roms are 4.1.2. Once AOSP based ROMs come out then yes, you'll be able to get 4.2.2.

Coming from a Nexus S with a CM-based 4.2.2 - I was worried about two things on the 'downgrade' : Bluetooth skipping & the 'swype-style' keyboard.
The One has the swype capability & I haven't have any BT garbles yet... so I'm OK with the 4.1.2 core. Just getting used to Sense.
4.2.2 is obviously a MINOR update and IMHO does not offer much.
For all I care the One can skip 4.2.2 and just get 5 once it's released..

While I somewhat disagree with this as I think the lockscreen widgets and the new quick settings in 4.2.2 are major updates and add a lot. That being said, I upgrade from the Galaxy Nexus running cm 10.1, and I was concerned about the 'downgrade' as well.. The one thing that is killing me is no way to get to the camera from the lockscreen, yes I can add it to my dock, but i dont keep my camera on my dock.. so i really miss that.. Also I cannot fathom why htc would forgo any type of quick settings in the notifications dropdown, I installed renovate 1.0 custom rom that has them so all is good..
In conclusion, its not a big deal at all, its somewhat refreshing to use Sense 5 in my opinion.
coming from a nexus 4 on 4.2.2 i do not miss it at all really. You can swipe your camera icon from the lock screen which mirrors the functionality of 4.2.2 lock screens. The quick settings feature would be nice but i have always used nova launcher and power toggles widget so it essentially accomplishes the same thing.
4.2.2 has all sorts of bluetooth, wifi and wakelock issues on the nexus 4 so i am perfectly happy being on a 4.1.2 using faster, sexier version with LTE. I am scared that 5.0 at google i/o is going to bring babel and some other awesome features which we wont get for awhile. I guess we will have to wait and see.

I'm using Elixir 2 to get quick sets in the dropdown - mute & volume profiles are key, and I also put a shortcut to KeePass there. It's a non-root/non-ROM option for those less adventurous. Elixir also lets you make widgets with tighter packed icons - I thought the 4x4 was a little loose for a screen this big & high res..

Considering 4.2.2 is still new and rare in production models (the SGS4 is the only phone I know of that has it) I don't see anyone jumping over it to put 4.3 on anything but a nexus very soon. If HTC is close to pushing out a 4.2.2 build, they won't have time to retool for a 4.3 release for a bit.

I want my cake and eat it too!

I recently got my hands on a shiny new HTC One and I really do love it. Loving out even more now that it's rooted and I removed all that crap AT&T put on it. (tards)
Anyway, I had some questions for the community. I'm coming from the Galaxy Nexus and I had CM installed so I'm used to a lot of things like battery % in the status bar and the daydream app.
Thing is, I kinda like the new sense (minus the launch and blinkfeed) and I'm really wanting to stay on stock if it's possible. I know that whenever the new update arrives I'll have the coveted % but what about daydream?
If anyone gots some info on that I'd really aprreciate it.
Oh and I also really miss the battery/power menu on vanilla android. Does anyone know if there is an app or a mod that I can use to get the same experience?
Thanks

I think many of us AT&T One owners here on XDA are running 4.2.2 ROMs from the International HTC One section due to their perfect compatibility (no need to change CID, go S-OFF or flash firmwares to run ROMs from that section, and all AT&T-specific issues from the 4.1.2 days are resolved) since the AT&T section is a ghost town in comparison. That is how you have your cake and eat it too, as your title says.
To answer your first question, the stock based HTC One 4.2.2 ROMs do have built-in daydream and stock battery %, so the AT&T update to 4.2.2 (if and when it ever comes) should have these features also.
I know you said you wanted to stay on stock if possible, but keep in mind that AT&T is holding back this phone's potential. Since you're already used to 4.2.2, and we can all wait on AT&T until the cows come home, you may want to consider just biting the bullet and flashing a stock rooted HTC Sense 4.2.2 ROM. There's one here in the AT&T dev section that is an excellent option if you're wanting to stay stock, based on the latest build from HTC. The stock AT&T radio works fine with it BTW.
In the new 4.2.2 ROMs, HTC has gotten rid of the black menu bar in apps by officially providing the option of mapping a long-pressing of the home button to the menu function. If you end up finding out that long pressing the home button intermittently acts like a single press, upgrading to the matching 4.2.2 firmware helps significantly with improving the sensitivity of the capacitive touch buttons, but that's getting a bit ahead of ourselves...just wanted to mention it. However the new firmware won't work with the stock 4.1.2 AT&T ROM.
Thanks for the info and the link.

There's one here in the AT&T dev section that is an excellent option if you're wanting to stay stock, based on the latest build from HTC. The stock AT&T radio works fine with it BTW.
In the new 4.2.2 ROMs, HTC has gotten rid of the black menu bar in apps by officially providing the option of mapping a long-pressing of the home button to the menu function. If you end up finding out that long pressing the home button intermittently acts like a single press, upgrading to the matching 4.2.2 firmware helps significantly with improving the sensitivity of the capacitive touch buttons, but that's getting a bit ahead of ourselves...just wanted to mention it. However the new firmware won't work with the stock 4.1.2 AT&T ROM.

The link you gave is down. And the other stock from the same guys I believe is down also. Do you know of a mirror?

Nevermind, I got it. Although, now I'm kinda scared to flash it cuz since I rooted there's been some screwy things going on. I was using Titanium Backup to delete some att apps and some of them keep coming back like Facebook and Twitter. When I go to superuser it says that it needs to update binary and then it tries but then it says it can't and that it's a problem. I can manually go into TWRP and flash stuff as I did with a script that supposedly wiped the crapware from att but I'm still not sure about flashing something custom.
any ideas or should I just go for it.
Also, I'm guessing that since it didn't give a limk for Gapps then I don't need them right?

Stock kernel has write protection for the /system folder. You'll need to flash a custom ROM that has the write protection removed. Much easier to flash a custom ROM than to mess with the **** AT&T has done to it.

Ok wait, so you're saying I need to grab a Rom from the international thread instead? Is that the one that just says HTC One?

Yes that is the International section.
If you want to stay on the stock rooted ROM, you can just disable those apps instead of deleting them, using the method built into Android (Settings>>Apps>>find your app and disable it), or alternatively you can freeze them in Titanium. This doesn't require write access to the system partition. These disabled apps will still occupy a small amount of file space but they won't be running anymore and using up RAM, and their respective icons will be gone.
You can flash a custom ROM from either the AT&T section or the International section. The International section has a much better selection and the threads are much more active. There are rooted stock ROMs (Sense and Google Edition) and custom ROMs (Sense, Google Edition and AOSP). AOSP ROMs on the One are pretty good now but there are a few issues with them, and you lose features like Beats and Zoe if you care about those things.
you can still get the HTC Sense camera for GPE. Works for me, with the exception that I can't click to my gallery from the camera itself (but the pictures do save there).

Question about the international ROM. I heard the signal bars are off since we are in the states, is this true?

Me too, but I used Zoe's before, and they dont work with the GPE framework...too many files missing. You can search through the forums to try various things based on the GE rom you've flashed though. I ended up going to ARHD, which has all the features OP asked for anyway.
