Simple guide would be nice.
Upgraded to ICS today, the bottom right button doesnt bring up settings, it brings up a bar at the top which I don't like and can't change, the slider from lock screen changed to a camera when i often used it to turn silent on/off
it updated my facebook to the new slower/clunkier version
the text messaging is differnent
etc etc
I do no like this update and would like to revert to Gingerbread, has anyone done it and how do i do it?
I'm a noob too.
Download the. 75 firmware, install flashtool, flash the firmware and make sure you wipe your data for a clean install.

Task's launcher in V5 and V6 is different than stock TW KME. It has the bubbles removed on top.
When you went back to stock, did you do a full wipe of your system first? Let us know what steps you took to get back to stock to figure this out.
thanks for the quick reply, i just followed the first thread of i think in the development section that tells u how to root,unroot,roms...etc...
there was pretty much just 3 sentences.. i downloaded the filesfordummies.zip.... went to cwm and loaded up the hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip, then i unrooted after that with odin.... but i did notice i get a force close after i booted up..so i redid the process again and wiped the cache, wiped and resetted the data, and wiped the dalvic thing... then i reloaded up the hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip again... then i unrooted again (i rerooted earlier in the step again so i could unroot)....i see the stock stuff, but it seems the bubbles are still not there, the menu is still dark (unlike what i had in the stock one, and the widgets like the clock and weather that appears when i first purchased it is not at the homescreen)...so i know something is wrong..

Your on the original stock honeycomb. I can't remember if the bubbles were on vanilla honeycomb. Upgrade your Tab to Touchwiz to get the other features back.
If you need to upgrade link, here is KMB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205816
It was the first official Touchwiz update in the US. You can upgrade to KME from there to be at the latest and greatest.
hmm..ok ill try that out... do i have to get back the cwm to use it?? thanks!!!

Yes, you can use the filesfordummies to
1. flash cwm on ODIN
2. install zip via CWM
3. flash stocky recovery on ODIN
4. factory reset in stock recovery
5. go to settings>about and upgrade to KME
This method and the KMB link I posted will keep you unrooted and stay within warranty. This is what I do if I want a completely clean ROM.
Another medthod and possibily the easiest is found on this site from Overcome. (Started yesterday so I forgot to mention)
They have a download called restock and it will ODIN KME on your Tab and give you the chance to wipe clean.

http://p7510.teamovercome.net/?page_id=18 goes to the guide.
i think im trying out the overcome way...im dling it right as im typing..ill update you...i think either way im going back to stock then returning this one (its only been like 5 days from best buys) and getting the white one
btw, i noticed youre from the bay area..maybe ill just drop it by your house so you can help me root my new one and install adhoc lol jk
alright i got the stock rom back in there now. all the widgets and bubble things are back too...i appreciate it!
now im wondering..is that task650 rom with the newer software, or is the factory one the newest?? thanks

Both are KME which is the latest US official release.
Other than that, tasks is themed and has enhancements that make it much much smoother than stock.

What firmware version are you running now?
Maybe you should re-flash the ROM or just flash a newer ICS ROM version to your phone?!
Have a look at Intratech's Official Firmware thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
,i just flashed now the xenon ics rom and same problem...,thank u anyway
Do a full wipe including formatting system.
Flash a stock newer ics ROM
While signing in to google, UN tick restore from google.
Now check. It still happens once a while but I can't confirm if its gone in newer Roms as I'm not using stock ROM as a daily driver.
I love the REAL ICS.. I'm on r3.1 cause i am waiting for the r4 release without facebook problem..
For those who wants to try.. Why should i choose this rom:
1. Because this rom is based on official firmware of sony (jellybean)
2. If you're not a custom roms lover, you should love this rom also! (HAHA) Because it's like official firmware too, but smoother, got walkman player, etc!
3. The features and interfaces are greater than the official!

Jelly Bean? What about that?
Real ICS is very good. But with soms bugs. I wait a better version than r4!

The rom looks awesome, just a shame I can't install it on my locked st17i.
Ok, i flashed to ics real lite v1.1 and am using rage kernel. Its a clean install and didnt use any backups. I only restored my contacts via memory card backup and messeges via sms backup app. This is on the mini pro.
My problem is sometimes when i get a call, i get a black screen. I press the power button to turn my screen on then i unlock my screen then answer the call. When i do that i get an error bout "com.android.phone" not responding. Whenni click ok, my prone drops the call and i cant even see the caller via call log, its so frustrating. Ive read around and ppl suggested i delete a few messages from "reject call with message", but i cant find a delete command in there. Secondly, there was this suggestion about clearing the contacts cache and stuff via app manager. This only deleted my whole contact list and was never able to get it back till i did a reinstall of the rom. I dont use facebook or some other app, my setup is bone dry basic, i only use sms backup app.
I also tried using another rom, the full version of real ics v4, still nothing. Any help would be appreciated as i really like this rom.

I also got that error when flashing back to gingerbread to root it then to ICS so it shouldn't be a problem with Real ICS, I know repairing the phone fixed it one time but I also think flashing it and wiping data also worked, flashing it and not wiping didn't though.
yeah, i tried wiping dalvik, cache, format, etc. it still isnt fixed. im gonna try fixing permissions next.
on stock JB ROM with root, I am not able to change the static wallpaper for home screen at all no matter I chose from homescreen or from gallery method. However, I can set it by using live wallpaper . Any idea ?
PS: The home screen is in black color now, all icons/widget shown fine though
can someone explain ?
I just Odin the stock file . The weird thing is upon reboot the phone is back to normal with everything : old apps, settings like wifi/google accounts are still there . The only 2 things are changed is no more root and gsm/simcard locked again . Does anyone experience similarly ?
It is normal when you come back to stock. I recommend that you root your phone then use an app to unlock your device GalaxSimUnlock apk is the best for this purpose. Then install a custom kernel which contains a custom recovery like twrp is a good option, after that install a custom ROM and say goodbye to the sim unlock and the problems with set wallpapers and other things.

hey guys, I made backup for stock rom from recovery and then installed marina rom but it doesn't support Arabic language so I wanted to get back to the old rom so I went to recovery to restore the old stock rom and when it finished restoring the phone restarted and it looks as stock rom with my apps but it's still the marina rom in the settings and keep crashing and force close so it did nothing
I have tried to restore older one or install other roms and try to restore my stock rom but still the same
and also tried to use one touch upgrade tool q but it keeps showing network error
and I couldn't find stock rom 2.3.4 middle east version support Arabic

I don't know but i went to recovery then backup & restore and I made full backup I don't know any other way
I can flash any rom but with no Arabic support I'm running a very good rom it's ice cream theme rom based on 2.3.4 gb if you even know how to add Arabic language to it I would be very thankful it's read and write Arabic but with single letters I think may be because it needs to start from right to left!
Thanks

Completely different thought: most custom roms have Developer Options. One toggle is "Force RTL (right to left) layout." Maybe try using that to see if that works.
