hello, sorry to be posting this in an intercept forum, but does anyone about changing the intercept froyo update to work with the moment? they seem similar enough and i feel a bit gyped. i'd probably attempt it myself if it's doable cause i dont think that they're are any custom moment roms, right?
I believe that a release of Cyanogen Mod already implements Froyo. I may be wrong. It's a nightly build/RC release. And the moment has many differences when compared to the intercept, or at least more than you seem to imply.
Unfortunately, I cannot get the 2.2 dump to boot on my Moment. The 2.1 dump from the Intercepted booted, and the Transform 2.1 booted as well. Both had issues though such as
1.Static in the audio
2.No data, or wifi.
3.Camera did not work at all
The kernel for the Intercept did not simply boot on the Moment. Thankfully, since Samsung is lazy the last Froyo for Intercept was more or less AOSP, which depending on what Samsung does when they put out the new Froyo that doesn't brick the Intercept, we may have an Intercept Froyo on the Moment. But I wouldn't worry about it too much, littlejth from SDX developers has an almost working Cmod 6 port working on the Moment, with just issues that have mainly been fixed. That and the Spica has a port of Gingerbread booting, which the Spica is more or less the GSM version of what the Moment is.
If you want to try it, take the system dump of 2.2 from the Intercept, throw it in an update package and see if it'll flash over your current rom.
Yeah it might work, but you are going to get quite a few issues. Note that those very issues might render your phone useless as a mobile device. My suggested option: do what the poster above my post said. Wait for the cyanogen mod Port.
IT WORKS!

2.2.1 working perfectly on my Moment.
Well with all the hype going on about custom (and sometimes stock) firmwares. I thought I would start a discussion and Perhaps a poll to see if you are using stock or custom ROMs.
As for my 2 cents: Samsung makes great hardware (at least to my experience) but sinks it down to sleep with the fishies with poor software support including bad very bad software suites (like Kies or Media studio the latter which installed a nasty rootkit on my laptop believe it or not for DRM), prematurely axing support to its newly launched devices (I remember hacking my samsung MP3 with korean firmware as I was really angry at samsung for axing the device 2 months after its release whats up with that ).
So what about you: Do u use custom ROMs or stick to late to almost never released stock ROMs?
Stock rom.
It does what I want. Internet-games-programs. It is fast and good.
I do not see a reason to go with a custom rom.
I use modaco. because its sooooo fast.
Overcome. Hands down the best rom/kernel IMHO.

okay ... dumb question ... i've just ordered a Tab from T-Mobile, should have it Monday or Tuesday, so ... just what is a custom ROM/Kernal going to do for me?
Thanks,
pat----
Im sticking with stock atm...
As posted above, it does what i want.
Im on Overcome 1.3, undervolted, not overclocked
what it does for you is it removes bloatware, includes fixes to known bugs that samsung has not addressed with a proper firmware update, allows for overclocking and undervolting if you're into that, formats the file system to EXT4 making IO faster, installs a full backup and restore facility from recovery, and provides better battery life*
quadrant score from original firmware: 1000-1200
quadrant score from Overcome 1.3 no overclock: 1690
so yeah, custom IS better than stock until samsung gets all these tweaks into their official ROMs.
(*I don't know how it does that, but it does )
It should be said that in reality the split isn't just between stock and custom, but stock, "unreleased', and custom.
Most of the custom ROMs you can find here are based on Samsung's own unreleased test/dev builds (e.g. MoDaCo is based on JMI, Overcome is based on JMK). Even in their "raw" form, these unreleased ROMs are far better than those that actually ship on the device (BEWARE LOCKED BOOTLOADERS IF YOU ARE THINKING OF FLASHING ONE!!!).
If you take say Rotohammers build, it is stock JMI (JMK now?), without the locked bootloaders and pre-rooted. MoDaCo and Overcome go quite a bit further as they have completely rebuilt kernels and are tweaked for speed. Then you have Technomancers Gingerbread ROM, which is completely custom and based on CM7 rather than an existing Samsung build.
In my opinion, staying on a shipping Tab ROM means you are not getting as much out of your device as you could. Even the Samsung unreleased dev builds are way better than the shipping ROMs, so I don't know why Samsung haven't actually formally released them.

I user overcome 1.4.4
Its much faster than the stock rom and seems to use less battery power in my particular use case.
Custom, as indicated in my signature. I have a T-Mobile Tab and in stock form, it was extremely slow. It sucked.
chicken roms is better ever
For those who say stock is fine i say you have no idea what you are missing. Try both, then make a decision. Custom all the way baby!
T-Mobile tab running latest Overcome
As a bell mobility tab user, i used the stock one (jj3) i think for about a month.
After that i decided to go with roto jme then jmg and after that went to modaco.
Was on modaco for about the last 3 months and i have decided to flash overcome.
There is a significant speed difference between modaco and overcome. I noticed lag in angry birds seasons with modaco but with overcome, barely any.
I am happy with flashing a custom Rom and would never go back to stock.
If only i could get a copy of the stock Rom just in case of any issues.
Hope that helps.

The hardware is superb but it's let down badly by Samsung in not keeping it up to date with firmwares.
Using Custom roms solves this and provides an all round quality tablet so, yeah, custom roms for me.
I use a stock rom for now, but once my download for Overcome is done, I'll switch to it.

Read the guides before flashing.
I had stock. It was excellent, good multi-language support, excellent hardware support.
Tried MoDaCo. Lost most of language support. Hardware support only for the basic stuff.
Replaced with Overcome. Language support even sketchier. Battery performance awful. Hardware support still only basic stuff.
Tried going back to stock. I could not find the stock firmware that was originally available on the device. All «stock» firmwares in the wild had the same issues as the MoDaCo and Overcome. I was shocked and seriously puzzled!
Went to the repair shop and asked them to flash the device with the original.
- Two days later I was told, that they need some special cable to flash the device, and it's going to take a week to get it from Korea(!).
- One week later I was told, that the device needed motherboard replacement.
- One more week later I got the device.
Now my device has Excellent language support, but still fails to report Neighbouring GSM Cells.
Eventually I installed a Winblows in a VM (Bleh!) to try Kies.
To my greatest surprise after eventually connecting Kies says that my device is 'Not Upgradeable'.
So my adventure with custom firmwares is MOST unfortunate.
My ¢2: new users should NOT replace firmware unless they BADLY need something that SUPPOSEDLY a custom firmware would give.

Can you please elaborate more what do you mean by "hardware support", what would be the difference between "basic stuff" and "excellent"?
AFAIK, the custom ROMS are based on stock ROM, thus I can't understand there will be any difference over hardware support level.
With custom ROMs you are more free!

I did. I ended up installing Rotohammer's instead, though. It works fine.
Do we have any custom ROMs based on ICS4 that are out of alpha/beta and work ok on the tab?
Im tired of waiting for the official update, and since google switched to google play even the market doesn't work anymore...
You can see for yourself if you go into the Tab 7.7 Development Thread. AFAIK CM9 is the only ICS rom in there and it is labeled as an alpha.
Ok, obviously the MTS3G is an older phone - and i think im currently running cm7 (gave phone to my mom) but was wondering if there was any new headway on people running 4.0+ ASOP on the device or what not?
I came across the zeubea thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1944550" but is any development still being done on this device ? Is anybody running the unofficial JB on here - or should i hold out for a new official CM release (such as CM10) for the MT3GS (or will this official CM release most likely never happen) ?
Guess Im just looking for a stable ROM that can be used in this device on a daily basis that utilizes a more recent AOSP release.
There will not be any further major updates from official cm, but zeaubas should work fine

Hello,
I'm looking for a ROM that has OTA updates and is actually being developed. What I see is that half of ROMs are abandoned, and other half will be abandoned in the nearest future, which imo is a real issue with custom ROMs.
Do you know any ROM, that will live for at least 1 year, will received updates, and won't be necessary to wipe data for every update?
Shamefully I see that there's no official LineageOS ROM for this device, which would be really great
Noone can say how long a Rom will be developed for at least 1 year. I changed from unterwelts Aicp to DotOs which is uptodate with security patch.
There's no official custom rom for markw, so no otas on any rom.
You don't need to clean flash if you're updating the same rom.
Markw is already a 2 year+ old device, looking for custom rom with 1 year long support commitment is ambitious for us, as there's not so many devs out there for markw. What they're offering, we're grateful for that.
If you don't want the hassle of flashing roms manually, want a stable device, I guess official miui is the best choice for you.
