Hi,
Quick question here..
I'm going to buy a Galaxy Tab, and well, I like the new design better on the N-version.
So I'm just wondering, if the root process is the same as on the normal 10.1?
The real reason why I wonder, is that it is born with 3.2 instead of 3.1.
Thanks in advance
yeeeep....all honeycomb versions can de rooted with the same method.
New one for me. Haven't tried searching. But, what is the difference in the N version and what about it do you like?

Gday friends,
Ive just bought a 10.1 as i dropped my 10.1v and it now has a line down the middle needless to say this is unacceptable so i bought the new one.
So im after advice as to which rom you would recommend for my 10.1 3g.
I was looking at Tasks rom but its only wifi which is a shame.
I gather i am unable to run a 10.1v rom on my tab?
any suggestion would be welcomed.
Thanks
Overcome rom
seems like the only option at this stage.
Overcome rom
We shall overcome Rom
As I am very close to rooting/ROMing, what are the main differences between Task and Overcome?
I've read the feature lists, but honestly, it all just blurs together and my eyes gloss over. (I've done so much reading on both 10.1 ROMs and Epic 4G Touch ROMs that my brain has melted down.)
Thanks for input.
t-mobile
Hey everyone,
I have a t-mobile galaxy tab 10.1 Model SGH-t859. Anyone know if the overcome rom will work with it?
It's listed for the p75xx but I'm not sure if I can run that on my device.

Sorry if this is a noob question but since galaxy tab 10.1 2 is out can't anyone just port that official ics rom. Onto the original gtab 10.1? I mean its basically the same tab.

As soon as a succesful port or dump of any official ICS is done for 75xx you'll know in Development section for sure

Different processor, other peripherals (micro sd, ir blaster, and other non-documented changes), so it is not the same tab, not even basically...
We will just have to bite the bullet and wait a little while (days, weeks, or more?) before the official sources/drivers come out to play.

I think getting TouchWiz ICS ported over along with ICS is the most important part. Not the entire ROM per-sei
Alot of features in TouchWiz are alot more stable than that of AOKP. *cough* browser *cough*
Anyone have a good compilation of Galaxy player info.? I'm wondering about a few things.
1: How well does it root?
2: Can it go to ICS?
3: Any particular cons to the model?
4: How good is the screen, 4.0 vs. 5.0
5: Can it be soft rooted a la B&N Nook.
Regards,
Mike

I managed to root it very easily using SuperOneClick. However I was running stock 2.2.2, but it appears there are a few issues rooting 2.3.6 roms
Yes it can go to ICS and there are many CM9 and AOKP based roms in the dev section
The only real cons I can see are no official ICS from samsung and as the galaxy players are not too popular, there is less dev work for them compared to other devices
I think the screen on the 4.0 is slightly better as it has the same resolution, but a smaller screen so more dpi. It is also a SuperClear LCD vs a TFT screen on the 5.0
I'm not too sure what soft rooting is (just googled it quickly), but full root is available
I suggest you visit this thread for more info.

Thanks for the info., I'm surprised the Galaxy isn't a more popular device.
Have any other potentials suggestions for a 5 inch Android device?
Regards,
Mike
the sgp 5.0 has more devs working on it than the 4.0.
but I don't get the point of choosing the 5.0 over the 4.0 or a real smartphone like for instance the galaxy ace, except the bigger screen.
-pixel density is lower
-yamaha DAC
The reason why I choose the SGP 4.0 over a new smartphone (200€ were my max budget), was the Wolfson DAC. Music quality is very good.
Of course you should use high quality mp3 or flac and good ear/head phones.
I have HTC with 4 inch screen and this player with 5.0 and like much more bigger screen..i use player more then htc...htc is just for making calls and sms and to make mobile hotspot if in that place there is no wifi.
800x480 on 5 inch is still better resolution then any 10.1 android tablet on the market

I'm actually wanting to use it as a nice little tablet for browsing ect. Yeah the DAC would be nice, but it's not that important for my application. I'm assuming the Yamaha DAC is decent. Are there any measurements or reviews showing the difference in quality between the Yammy and Wolfson?
Can an Android cellphone be used without SIM if unlocked?

For #5: Maybe soft root is the wrong term. For Nook, it's possible to install the ROM onto the SDCard as opposed to the internal memory, making it possible to dual boot and not overwrite the internal ROM. I think there's still some level of root CWM needs to be installed.
Here is info on MultiBoot

I don't think dual boot is available for the galaxy player range yet. It might be possible in the future though...

1: How well does it root?
I got mine rooted using an older version of super oneclick on the stock rom which is 2.3.5
2: Can it go to ICS?
I prefer not to. Way to many bugs if you are going to put on a different rom.
3: Any particular cons to the model?
I have the 5 inch and the only con I have with it is that you really can't use your external sd card to put apps on it.
4: How good is the screen, 4.0 vs. 5.0
I like the 5 inch screen. It is very clear and very bright.
5: Can it be soft rooted a la B&N Nook.
This question is unclear to me. Rooting is software based. All what you are doing is making yourself an administrator. Allmost like changing a standard account on a Windows pc to an administrator.
I would recommend installing GenericGinger ROM and Entropy512's (I believe that's how you spell his name) kernal. Quicker charge rate and overclocks the cpu to 1.2 GHz. You would destroy the retarted Apple devices to the grave they deserve.

I was thinking about picking up a used one of these for my mother for her birthday. I am torn between this and a Nexus 7, but I think she may like the larger size.
She already had a Galaxy S3 and a Kindle Touch. She mainly would just use it for Facebook, email, and some little BS games.
I this tablet still got enough power and support to last her a year or two? Also, would the stock rom with root be fine? She actually likes the touchwiz on the S3 so I would just keep that on the tablet as long as it's smooth enough.
I could get a used Tab for 150-200 or just pick up a brand new Nexus 7 for 200. What do you guys think?
Thank You

If she's okay with the 7 inch size, I would suggest the Nexus 7. I gave my mom my original Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 inch, with CM 10 rom and she loves it. She much prefers the 7 inch size to a 10 inch tablet, but that's just my mom.
The Tab 10.1 is a great device, and is definitely worth it for 150 bucks. The stock rom is fine, but I would go ahead and load CM 10 or 10.1 on there just because it will be a smoother and better experience.
All in all, if she is particular about a 10 inch tablet, the Tab 10.1 is a good buy. But if she is okay with a 7 inch tablet, I would go with the nexus 7.
Thanks for the reply. Today I ended up asking her if she liked my Tab 7.7 or my wife's Tab 8.9. She seemed to like the 8.9 better because it was something she would just use at home. I was going to offer her my 7.7 and then just pick up a Note 8.0 for myself, but I think she likes the bigger screens.
So that being the case. Does the 10.1 run with any serious lag? I keep reading reviews about how slow it can be. She won't be taxing it with too much stuff, but she doesn't like any lag either.

If you're keeping it completely stock, there may be a very slight lag just because of older hardware, but nothing terrible. If you do want to keep it stock, I would suggest using Nova Launcher, because it runs a lot smoother with transitions, swiping the homescreen, animations, etc. There's a free and a paid version of it.
If you want to flash a custom ROM on it, you may not get serious lag, but there will be glitches here and there like I mentioned before. For example, there is a slight flicker that happens on the screen every now and then, doesn't really bother me but it may bother some people. But the upside is that you gain a lot of features with CM 10.1 that you don't have with the stock touchwiz android 4.0 that comes with the Tab.
If you are wanting long term support I suggest the nexus 7 but as it is for your mom and see isn't going to be doing much according to your posts then get a tab 10.1 and put a custom rom on it.

Thanks for the help.
I ended up getting her a Tab 10.1 for $150 with a flip case. It is coming pre loaded with CM 10 I think. It is the 4.2 version I believe. I told the guy to just leave that on. I may try the stock rom with the Nova launcher though to start her off. Not sure if there are any touchwiz like roms made, so I guess it will just revert to stock GB and let it upgrade to ICS. All in all, I think she is going to be just fine with the stock version for what she does on it.

The tab should be arriving today before I get home. I will download the JB V8 rom and install it tonight before giving it to her tomorrow. I haven't really looked to much into it yet, but it looks pretty stable. There doesn't seem to be that many bugs either.

Hi, I have a Galaxy Tablet 10.1 and just purchased another tablet which is a Kobo arc 64GB. I am unsure of which tablet to keep and I am hoping for some advice. The Kobo is 1.5 ghz so it is technically faster and has a newer android OS and I purchased for $139.99, but it is a 7" compared to my 10.1 which I like bigger a little better but not so much as to make my decision. I read that galaxy tab can be rooted and updated but I haven't got into that yet. The galaxy also has better camera and more functions gps, Bluetooth, etc. both are wifi only. I am really unsure which one to keep. I paid 399.99 for my galaxy like 1 1/2 yr ago. Can anyone help make my decision a little easier? I am very torn on which one to keep and so much info on internet about different tablets it makes it hard to find any answers.

Thanks, this is pretty much what I was wondering. I will try it and see how I like. Now just figuring out how to do it lol, well this site seems like a great place to start..kudos
Edit: I managed to root my tablet I think, it's a lot harder process now then it should be trying to find everything to work. I found lots of dead links to places where I could DL the recovery files and Odin and such. I managed after a few tries to get CWM working I am using version 6.0.3.6 right now. First I tried ver 4.0.0.4 and when from a package install from the tutorial on this site but I was getting the scrolling effect in CWM that a lot of people experienced where it keeps scrolling the screen so fast it's barely readable. So then I tried a ver. 5.5.0.4 (I think) apparently one you need to use certain roms, but I had the same effect with this one. So then with the suggestion of another thread on here I downloaded 'bootloader_4.0.4.tar.md5' and the version of CWM I have installed now. It's seems to work alright no more scrolling effect and I have the superuser app, I did a backup without problems, although when I first told it to reboot it came up with the message 'Root access possibly lost, Fix?' I selected yes and apparently it fixed because this message does not come up anymore. So I made it this far. Now the fun begins lol.
I'm on 4.3 Jelly bean cyanogen now lovin it, only prob it just booted like 3 times before actually booted up properly, thought I was stuck in a boot loop for a minute. Worked though. Kobo is as good as sold.
