Okay, so I have had this Galaxy Tab 10.1 since release. It is a great device, I love it. I bought the Bluetooth keyboard so it functions like a laptop. However, I haveb't really messed around with the operating system. So here comes the questions
1- Recently, I just installed the New ADW Launcher. It make my tab much better scrolling from screens. Now, 2 weeks later, I have been getting A LOT OF CRASHES from the Market. It just keeps crashing. I uninstalled the ADW launcher but it just got worse. And I really don't have too much apps. I don't understand whats causing it. Any tips?
2- When do you think we will get the ICS update? I don't want to get into rooting and flashing the Rom. I tried that before on a My Touch 4G and it wasn't pretty.
3- When I did get the Tab, it was loaded with the vanilla version. The borders where black, and most of the theme was black color. After about 2 months of using it, my father thought he can make it "better" so he updated. This new theme or update looks dull. It whitish color, and it has that task manager which I keep accidentally clicking. Is there any way to go back to stock version?
4- Every since i got the new update, the Wifi signal has been very weak. I'm in the same room as the Router, yet I get like 1 signal booster. Just imagine how it is when I am on campus. It's like having a 2g speeds.
5- Can I get an app that looks similar to Microsoft Word on PC/Laptop?
1- If you haven't flashed a ROM since you got it, do so now. You'll be much happier with galaxy task anyways, and that's the only foolproof solution.
2- Google it or just read some of the posts in this forum.
3- You can get the stock look by either 1) downgrading to a stock 3.1 ROM; or 2) get galaxy task and flash one of Boosted's themes (better than stock).
4- Beats me. Flash galaxy task. If it doesn't improve you've got a hardware problem.
5- Polaris office or quickoffice HD pro

ICS update for Samsung device in 2012 wait for ice cream + sandwich
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.

No Playstore in Cyanogenmod ROM
Guys I know little abt Cyanogen. But I know and have installed a lot of custom ROMs. Can you please tell me why any Cyanogenmod has no play store in it. I tried downloading by browser. but didnt help. What can be done?

Anyone else having problems installing the WIFI Drivers on-top of the latest OaT's Light n Tasty build?
I installed release dated 05/08/12 as usual (Cache, Dalvik, etc) install on-top of a previous OaT build and the latest Google Apps (OaT's "Light n Tasty" GApps (04/29) without problems and immediately began to have WIFI problems with the default build.
As suggested, I tried to install the Flashable ath6kl zip posted for LnT and the install completes, but the system locks-up showing Cyanogen - Loading message and never proceeds to the default ANDROID default boot screen.
I'd place this message in the OaT Light n Tasty developer build folder, but I don't have right to post there yet (need 10 posts and I'm only up to 5), so that is why I'm posting here.
Either way, I was able to reapply the 5/8 build and am surviving with the default CM9 WIFI drivers that kinda work sometime and not others.
Any help would be appreciated and thanks for the support! Sorli...
OaT posted today that he found out the wifi driver package he posted was broken. I would suggest that you try the 4/28 version B and see if that works better for you until a new version is posted.
Corporate Mail Issues?
Wanted to pick this thread back up for current discussions around the JellyBean development.
Is anyone else having issues getting the Corporate e-mail account to process on the 8/19 build of CM10? I have not been able to get my Corporate mail to successfully connect, and I've replicated the settings from my Droid 3 that happens to be running a CM10 build as well.
How does one reinstall the APKs for Corporate/Exchange e-mail? I may need to try this, but have not installed APKs on my own.
Any help or guidance is appreciated.
(Not calling this a bug, since OaT hasn't been asking for bugs given the early development stage of his ROM.)

Simply download the APK on your tablet from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557111
When complete, click the notification and it will prompt you to install it. When it tells you it's complete, just click Done and you're ready to roll!
The end has come to OaT and CM10!
Disappointing news - OaT ROM is discontinued as the dev wasn't seeing the love from the users.
I think this indicates the end of the TouchPad and Android unless CM9 moves forward, or someone picks up CM10 from an old ROM that's floating around the internet.
Right now, I haven't seen much of anything, and Rev Kyle isn't sounding optimistic.
Boo! :crying:
--McBean
Just wanted to toss out my 2 cents...Since owning 2 touchpads, i've have always been running OAT's rom since day one and CM9 on the other
Both ROM's have always rocked solid outside the basic issues....Kudos to the Dev's for that!
Currently, i've been running 07-29 since day off release and it has been my daily driver....never took the time to install the Beats version, as i was content with the original...i did DL the OaT-JB version and even that was rocking.
OAT it's a shame we will not see the love you've have had for the touchpad....ill miss the updates and following the thread.
PLEASE if you decide to give it a go again, id be more than happy to assist with any "testing".
Thanks for such great work and making my HPTP a very useable tablet. Till then.....

I'm really bummed to hear OAT steeping away from TP updates and support.
I like many did not have enough credits on xda-developers forums to post messages and replies when changes were made and I had no way of supporting his efforts on this forum. Shame and not a big surprise and hopefully things and TP support continues. Sorli...

like the rom so far very peppy however I am not a fan of golauncher never looked right for me. I am using Holo Launcher HD it is very peppy for my usage now I don't get why someone was having force close problems with it as it has been working great for me. The one thing I love about it is that gestures can be customized and it is not a premium feature.

I tried Holo launcher as I use that on my other devices...
But on my TP set to 120DPI, I think it looked horrid. I could not stand the fact that the icons were looking fuzzy and odd sizes... It looked fine at the default 160DPI but I like mine set at 120 and it was had. I had to go back to GoLauncher and it looks better for me. I have not tried ADW EX but for now, until CM10 becomes available (stable and not as nightly) I will stick with GoLauncher.

Ahh...that is why I was having problems with Holo Launcher and wondering why I had to mess so much of the settings.
I'm hopeful CM10 makes it, but then I'm not putting much stock since so many people are moving on to other hardware and leaving our TP behind in the limelight. Sorli...
Here I am couple of days after flashing my phone from Shpongle 2.3 rom to BEASTsense 2.1.
First things first a huge thanks to 1ceb0x and all those keeping my antique hero living on!
A great rom 1ceb0x once again thanks - hero's now a worthy competitor for Usain Bolt lol.
Back to the topic: my question: 'Is it possible to have an android phone/ROM that won't get slower over time- ie. after a few weeks or months of use?-
Why/ how does it happen? - app caches getting too full?
Is there any clearing up etc that we can do to prevent this'. (I'm aware of less homescreens widgets and apps)
My phone-
I've pretty much never cleared up my SD card- further than, on occasions deleting a few folders etc that have been left over from previously installed apps, the standard wiping the caches before flashing a new ROM, and deleting the /data /.Trash /Android /Lost.DIR folders.
Further things I do that don't help my cause: is when using a non sense ROM have to install htc ime keyboard and a dialler that searches through contacts.
Over the years have probably flashed about 10 custom ROMs.
Thanks for reading my post any tips/ advice would be appreciated.(Sorry for the essay!)
a lot of roms slow down when you install a lot of apps so maybe try not to use up all/most of your storage. although i think every rom starts to slow down at some point. maybe after a few months of use. however i did read somewhere that if your rom does start to slow down after a few months then just boot into recovery and clear the cache and dalvik cache then the rom should 'fly' again

Thanks for the reply is really useful to know that clearing the cache and dalvik in recovery should help keep the rom fast, will definitely do this if I notice it's slowed down.
I'm quite good with my apps, try and stay on top of them uninstalling apps am not using.
latest shpongle rom should not start to slow down in time. if it does, try to do what Beats by Messi told you and it will be fine after that.
thanks for using it !
oh, and please use latest sphongle. it is much more improved than 2.3. too much speed you can't handle with
Thanks 1ceb0x I really appreciate your work- keeping hundreds(not so sure about 1000's? of hero's still going ) liked shpongle a lot, but always find myself returning to 2.1 roms, imo the hero seems to be able to handle that rom really well.

I installed shpongle 2 days ago and was really happy with it, but it’s already starting to slow down. I haven’t installed much: Go SMS Pro, MessagEase (only keyboard that works for me), aldiko and picross, OI File Manager and One Touch Time.
When I look into settings, I see only 57MB RAM are used (98MB free), and I use only 8,1MB storage (158MB free). That doesn’t seem much. I can’t figure out why Go SMS is so slow. Should I let go of it and use the stock messaging app?
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.

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).

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.
