I'm trying to read up and figure out what the best root/rom is for the Galaxy Tab. I'm not new to rooting -- I've got an Evo 4G and a Nook Color both rooted and running custom ROMs.
Really, honestly - I like the Honeycomb in the Tab 10.1, except the Touchwiz launcher. That thing bugs the crap out of me - *it never goes away*. Watch a video in fullscreen? Sure, fullscreen except the launch bar. OH hey, I'll take out the icons, but I'll still be here.
I'm sure I'd probably like ICS at some point, when it's more stable -- but for now, I'd be content with a custom ROM that is honeycomb-like, close to stock - but where I can ditch the touchwiz garbage. Is stable, isn't flaky, or filled with a ****-ton of skulls and retarded sound notifications made by a 13 year old death-head.
So - any suggestions?
edit: as a side note, I want things to work like AllShare, Netflix, Youtube, etc. I've used different DLNA apps in the past, and frankly I think Allshare is the smoothest of the bunch. Sucks that we don't have Hulu+ for the tab, but I can do without that.

Just got it flashed and everything appears to be working just fine aside from the camera (which is mentioned in the post regarding this ROM), but other than that... It's pretty smooth, man. Not gonna lie.

i just noticed that the "My Apps" button in the market now looks like a phone and says "sprint"
If i click on it it doesn't take me to my apps.
Anyone else having this problem?
That's normal for this build. If you click on your Menu, you'll find My Apps there.
Thanks you were right
Best ROM on XDA

I'm really enjoying this ROM. The speed of the machine is phenomenal.
Love the Rom ad well but can't seem to get the market updated or to show all apps. Any thoughts?
I've tried market enabled to no avail.
Issue with ROM or with G-Tab?
I've noticed that if I let the g-tab go to sleep, I'm having to reboot it get it to wake up.
Is anyone else having this issue? I've had my tablet since x-mas, but have nto used it much. It sat in a desk drawer for about 2 months, and I'm just now getting into using it.

Yeah, again it's just the build. There are a ton of hacks that will get you more of the market, but I doubt you'll ever get "everything". Considering that the GTab wasn't blessed by Google, we're lucky to have the devs here to get the market at all.

Another issue with this ROM. Some have fixed it by going to Clemsyn's kernel, others to Pershoot's and still others by using CPU Master Free. Personally, I just set my tab's Screen Timeout to Never. What can I say...I like simple.

I agree. The only problems I see with it are no news and weather widget like on tnt, and the horrible photo album (I think it's from stock?)

This may be a stupid question, so I am sorry if it is, but Calkulins v1.1 says it is "Based on rooted 2.2 / FRF91 - TnT 3991"...
so can you run it on the 1.1-3588 firmware, or will that brick?
Again, sorry for my ignorance...
Thanks!
ROM's and Firmware are the same thing. If you're asking whether you can use ClockworkMod or standard recovery, the answer is yes. Calkulin's ROM is a hybrid using the newer 3991 build for features but the older bootloader and recovery. It shouldn't cause you any trouble loading it over 3588.
Thanks! Sorry, I confused the firmware with bootloader, thanks for straightening that out!
No problem. Just want to make sure that I understand the question correctly. Happy modding!
All Done!
Woot!! I will say, I bought this on the woot! deal... and although I consider myself very computer savvy, I have never rooted/hijacked/whatever a device before...
Happily this was super easy! I wanted use the stock ROM for a bit to get familiar with it, but I just couldn't stand how slow/unresponsive/just crappy it was!!
So I jumped the gun and started in... luckily I did a lot of reading first!!
Loaded up Clockworkmod - and made a backup first!! lol
Used clockworkmod to install Calkulins ROM---OMG is it fast!!
The found that I was having the sleep-death issue... so I loaded up Clemsyns Kernel Too!!
Not a single hiccup! Even for a noob- this is super easy! Just follow all the great advice on the XDA forums (and don't skip steps!) and you can't screw it up.
Thanks to all the great people on here, for the hard work, and patience... I love seen good communities like this!
DeadEnd
Which version of Clemsyns is recommended?
Hi,
clakulins ROM is my prefered ROM so far
But, it needs some issues to be addressed to make it my daily driver.
1- sleep-to-death
I know we can use another kernel to fix this (so I keep this fix for later if everything else can work)
2- Settings/Family accounts/add member
This FC every single time. I definitly need this functionality. My Gtab being a family device....
3- Photos is horrible as previosuly pointed out in this thread. I want a centralized place for all my photos, or at least for local storage + picasa. With this gallery, we can only access picasa public albums. What about my own account !!!
4- Photos started to display pictures roatated one quarter to the left. It doesnt let me re-rotate them back to original. It does that for evey single picture, i cant fix this. Photos is now unusable
I tried a few Photos gallery apps from the market (6-7 so far). None of them works to my liking.
I just want somethings simple that get access to all my pics.
5- Cant play videos anymore. Not even the sample 'car' and 'king kong' that came with the Gtab.
If I can fix all of the above, calkulin will be my only and permanent ROM.
(ps items 4 and 5 were previously working ok in this ROM, this started yesterday)
Also, another things that is on my whish list:
- Have bluetooth HID
I have this blutooth keyboard collecting dust on the used parts shelve that I would like to use with the Gtab
thank you calkulin for all,
So, I decided to install clemsyn kernel to fix this sleep-death problem.
No problem installing, everything went well.
But now instead of comlaining that it cant play videos, it just FC on every videos I try to play.
I feel a complete reinstall will be necessary.
On August 5, 2011 Samsung put out the update for the Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 for the TouchWiz update. I really thought it would make the tablet better but instead I absolutely hate it. It made the very clean black interface into a grey child looking operating system. Although the system seems to run a little better now I just really hate the grey look to it. I loved how the bar at the bottom would go away when I wanted to watch a movie on it. Now I am stuck with it up all the time. Not to mention all the extra apps it loaded on that I don't want. Plus all of the weird bold fonts that are used on it now.
I have called Samsung support but they insist I am now stuck with it. I asked them if a factory reset would work and they said no......really? But I HATE it!
I have read some forums saying I could root my tablet back to the stock Honeycomb but if I do that can I reverse the root and get updates from samsung again? If and when they ever clean up this stupid TouchWiz. Granted some people might like it but I am really hating it.
Please I am begging the Experts out there for answers.
im looking for the same thing, it did make the system feel a bit smoother and fater, but I hate how the UI looks now

Yes, after you said that I have noticed if I use the android media player it will fade out. But if I use an app like rock player it no longer fades out like it used to =(
(the android media player still won't play most files so I have to use rock player or spend the time reformatting them.)
Totally agree. Some functional improvements, but the UI looks dumbed down and ugly.
I like the task manager, but probably won't use the other quick launch apps, and they can't be changed. Also, the screenshot button doesn't belong on the screen at all times.

Hated the Touchwiz update.... calendar didn't sync properly anymore and I found the ui to now feel like a toy, big text and all... I hated it enough that i fully reverted to 3.1 stock... unless a decent community supported rom comes out, I'll probably sell the tablet and switch to a different one.
Thanks everyone on this thread for pointing me in the right direction to revert.

I feel exactly the same way, and am a bit concerned to see all the custom ROMs adopting the TW update.
The TW Email app looks like Pagasus mail did in the late 90's.
I ended up reverting back to 3.1 but kind of miss the Videos application, nothing else.
Can you point me to the post that showed you how to remove the update?
Not impressed with the update at all. When the source is released for hc and\or ics this tablet will rock.
I'm going to be removing the update as well today and am going back to 3.1 stock. I can't stand the childish look of the system now and mine is dog slow. Typing is extremely painful as well due to the horrible lag.
I don't know. My Tab seems much slower after the update. I am going revert to stock and see what that feels like again.

It is compatible, I am using it now. I will post the apk when I get on my desktop. Works really well after 5 minutes of testing. Clicking on a youtube link closes the browser for me though.

Just an FYI if you want to use 132 dpi you should use this to fix the market, however since alpha 0.6 now officially supports 120 dpi (as an add-on option) you are probably better off just using that.
I am running at 120 now and have no issues with this or any other app in the market.
Pretty damn stupid that its only available in less than a dozen countries. Thanks for the side load link
No problem
Works well, unfortunately no flash support due to the fact that Adobe has pulled support. I've found myself using the default browser, I like all the improvements they have added since gingerbread.
wonder where the option to load "desktop" version is
EDIT: nvm, it doesn't support desktop view nor flash

No flash support, and no user agent choice. Not even a "request desktop site". Kind of embodies the reason I felt CM7 was unusable. Beta? Feels like alpha.

Yeah, I'm betting that from Jellybean forward this will be the main browser. I think Flash on mobile is really done whether we, or the rest of the web, likes it or not. Once we upgrade out of ICS I don't think we will have Flash anymore. Adobe very begrudgingly updated it for ICS and I'm pretty sure that's the last time they are going to do that. They certainly don't seem willing to make any exceptions here for Chrome mobile.

as far as the browser goes it seems a tad slower than the stock browser. if you dont like mobile view you can usually go to the bottom of most web pages and manually select "classic version" like on yahoo.com. i still use the stock browser but once chrome will support desktop view i will for sure switch makes my TP look like a desktop

I wouldn't be too quick in talking about the death of Flash. There are 10's of millions of sites using flash on the web. It'll take years to change them all. Btw, in all the notices I've read of Flash being developed for ICS, not once did I read a hint of it being grudgingly developed by Adobe. As well, if that was to be the last of Flash development, why are Adobe right as we speak developing Flash Player sandbox for Firefox?
Chrome beta is not running well on this release of buttah. Erratic and some weird stuff. Both are early releases of course.
(Fairly) new S2 user here. Gotta say, coming from an Apple device, Android is leagues ahead.
I've got a particular question regarding the music player in Samsung's stock 2.3.6/4.0.4. Is it possible to use either of these with a Jelly bean ROM? I've tried installing them both at random times, and the phone will immediately state "App Not Installed." However, I've seen people do the same thing for other stock samsung apps that work just fine.
If it helps, I'm running Jellybam 3.3.0. Patiently waiting for their servers to come back from the dead so I can get 4.0.0
Thanks in advance!

Check this thread - I installed this in my root folder and it works. The only thing iffy is the search function which if you select from the "suggested" items that pop up - crashes the app. But if you type it in and hit the search button (not the suggested) it works flawlessly.

Can everyone post a list of stable roms for I717? I don't like going through the trouble of backing up all my data and flashing a new rom only to have it crash multiple times per day and have something like bluetooth not work reliably at all. Maybe some people enjoy playing with that (a lot of the most popular roms at the top of the forum are like this), but I don't!
I'll start the list and say that Beanstalk 4.4 is extremely stable, only had it reset on me twice in one year, and bluetooth works 100%. Only issue is that you can't move apps to SD so you run out of space quick (thanks to kitkat). I'd love to find something above kitkat this stable...
And I'll add some that I have tried and failed:
Candy5: No matter what Gapps I tried (yes pico etc), none of them installed and even after going through every suggestion in the thread I could not get a simple google play installed. Stock browser crashes every 2 minutes.
Pac-rom: Promising but crashes 10+ times per day. Often does not power on unless you boot into recovery and select reboot. GPS is terrible, google maps often loses it's place and gives turn-by-turn directions 60 seconds too late. Stock browser crashes all the time as well.
CM: Bluetooth reliability is terrible. Quincyatt not updated since 2014.
Sounds like you should stick with beanstalk or return the device to stock. When you rooted your device, it opened up security issues so it'll never be as solid as you'd like. What hasn't been updated since 2014?

CM for I717.
I don't like going back to stock because IMO it's less secure (heartbleed is a pretty big security hole). If you leave root access disabled and don't download shady apps a custom rom isn't any more insecure.

Yes, I tried every suggestion in the thread and it still didn't work. After trying pac-rom for a couple days (and having it crash 20+ times) I just tried wiping it and flashing candy again, and now Gapps with google play worked the first time with no troubleshooting. Shrug.
Seems rock-solid so far though. Can't post in that thread since I have too few posts, so one question, if I do the OTA download for the new 4.0, can I just flash it on top of my 3.9 version or do I need to wipe everything and start over? Also, under Settings, Apps, if I click an app and move to SD card, it will sit there and say "moving" forever. If I exit settings and come back sometimes the app will actually show moved to SD list though.
And the stock calendar app doesn't seem to let me log in, it says "Sign in to get the most out of your device". Then I enter the email I've always used and it says "This account already exists on your device." But there's no other way to actually select that account. What am I doing wrong?

Don't do the OTA yet since BB won't let me upload my roms. The ota notification is a fluke. You'll have to flash the rom fresh between trying to find the right gapps which will work on your device. Candy is the most stable of all my builds currently.

The ota is ready now if you wish to try that.

Still can't post in the main thread but:
-If you turn on "Directly show pattern view", nothing shows on the lock screen besides the dots (time, weather, owner info, notifications).
-I had the dreaded bluetooth bug happen the other day, do you get many reports of this? (bluetooth stops working while streaming music, and does not turn back on until a phone reset).
-Stock calendar cannot be logged into (edit: just installed the google calendar from the app store which worked fine)
Unfortunately these are all deal breakers for me but I really like the rom otherwise, I don't want to switch back
Any way to enable HDMI output? (I have the adapter which worked before).

Must be on stock based rom and that being said, not all of those work. I know Saurom, Blackstar Blackjelly and OnlyOne Goldie work.
Edit: on my device.

I heavily utilize the "Move to SD card" option because otherwise the default storage doesn't hold more than 10 or so apps, but I've had a problem with Candy5 twice now where my phone will crash, and upon reboot, all the apps that were moved to SD card are gone. Anyone else encounter this?
I wish I could post in the normal thread.
Installed the latest Candy5 20151031, did a complete wipe of everything per the instructions, and after installing 1 app (gmail), the phone reboot the first time gmail opened while placing the gmail widget down.
Here's a list of ROMs I've tested:
BlackSTAR XI - Best ROM for the i717. Super stable and fast.
CM Official - Good, but very buggy. SD card breaks, phone reboots often, HW overlays, etc.
Padawan - Not much new here, just a simple modded version of stock. Very stable but not too fast.
Candy5 - Very laggy, as LP is still in development for i717.
CM11 Unofficial - A bit laggy, HW overlays.
All in all I'm a huge fan of BlackSTAR XI, best ROM I've seen so far.

-Which CM official version (10.1, 10.2,etc)? HW overlays can be worked around by switching off in developer options.
