galaxy tab bloatware

Which galaxy tab has the least amount of bloatware?

You can remove all the bloatware you want by rooting and using root explorer, just be careful

Well I preferably want to know about the use versions of the tab but if the European versions are than please let me know or is it just better to root the tab thanks

Unknown yeah it figured but I was just curious out of the 4th carriers which one had the least..... I was just curious to know

Yeah sorry my xda app is really annoying takes five minutes to let me post again and SwiftKey is annoying sometimes when it auto corrected but yeah it was just curious out if the four carriers which galaxy tab has the least amount of bloatware and is it worth rooting the tab.... was also curious about the lag you get from these samsung galaxy devices sometimes..... my vibrant was really slow sometimes

didn't get any with mine. The wares it did come with, like the thinkfree app and nova game were welcomed by me!

I have the sprint tab, came with sprint hotspot and some kind of sprint account manager so nothing too bad like I've seen on other devices

I'm pretty sure the Verizon Tab has the most bloatware

None came on mine that arrived today. It was sim free and just had the default samsung stuff I assume.
Does rooting void my warrantee?

Yes rooting will void your warranty.

And can it be put back to a factory default without them knowing?

Yes it can. Use z4root from the market to root and it has an option to unroot.

DroidX keyboard for the Galaxy Tab?

Just got a new Verizon Galaxy Tab and am wondering if the DroidX multi touch keyboard can be instaled on it? I found an apk floating around but it seemed to be a 2.1 port and force closed as soon as i installed.

I think there was a thread about this at one point, and no one had much luck with it. I tried at least 4 different versions of the apk, including one that was supposed to work on 2.2 but no dice. I'm assuming someone with some skill may be able to modify it to work at some point. People suggested getting Smart Keyboard Pro from the market instead, so I gave it a shot. Costs a couple bucks, but it works amazing, and has just as good multitouch, if not better than the Droid x's.

Kool. Just downloaded the trial version and am using it now. Seems to be very similar to the Droid x.

Never had the Samsung Apps app on my galaxy tab :(

I don't have the "samsung Apps" app. I am rooted I even did a factory refresh. Can I downloaded it? Could not find on Samsung site. Thanks.

Google I/O tab ?
if not check here

Unless there's some hidden features that I don't know about, I would say the Samsung App" app is pretty useless. It shows some pretty lame looking apps that you can easily find on Android market. Don't worry, you're not missing anything.

Agreed Samsung apps is terrible

I think I may need it to get my Samsung account to sync

Any suggestions?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

try pushing a fresh apk of the market because of the recent flashing of a new ROM, something could've gotten messed up.

Like i've said earlier. Problem occurred before rooting on stock tab. I've rooted just to check if new rom would fix it. Also market from android market has the same problem and its on lower version 1.0.16 I think...

What firmware are you?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

Any rom any firmware. Contacted google and they are looking in to it as apparently more people have this issue
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

I am in the UK using the recent KH3 firmware, and I also have the issue when trying to access books.

I think I'll need to go to one of the shops place a random google account on shop display and check out the market... It could be something related to UK tablets

which version of android system you have installed in your tab, I had had some of these issues you mention but after I do back up my data, and do a full whip then install 2.3.6 ROM multilang, multi csc, by AF974, I begin to enjoy using my tab again.
