Hi Guys,
Good News.. Finally gingerbread is out ..... Its a green signal for galaxy tab..
http://www.google.co.uk/nexus/#!/features
It will be a while before the Tab gets it
Raqball: totally agreed. As a pissed off SGS user without froyo ill be the first one to tell you that i will never buy another samsung android phone again. Im hoping that a $600 tablet will be better on the upgrade side.

The Gingerbread keyboard works fine on the Tab:

seeing as there's a Galaxy S build of gingerbread in the kitchen at the moment, hopefully it can be converted to the Tabs paritition sizes etc and ported over with relative ease once it's at a stage that it works...
Now that would be good.

No more official update for galaxy 3 sad.
http://www.fonearena.com/blog/41362...i-models-getting-gingerbread-update-soon.html
Hmm let me see. Look what I found in Galaxy 3 Development forum. See here.
I would advice you to read everything in that link and then post.
not at all surprised, everyone knew this.
Nothing new there. I think almost everybody here knows this.
We dont need one. As we have great developers here ;-)

Even galaxy fit is getting gingerbread but why galaxy 3 don't get it?
We're getting 2.3.4 via Cyanogenmod so please help Sebastian!
But cynogenmod will take time to be stable with all working. Atleast another 2-3 months looking up on the progress. No offence just saying it.

galaxy fit was launched with 2.2 and our g3 with 2.1 so we got our 2.2 and fit will get their 2.3
what samsung does is it ignores its low budget phones and gives them one ****TY BUGGY UPDATE to keep our mouths shut.

hi
to my knowledge In India the G 3 is end of life as per the talk i had at the samsung show room at Bangalore so not surprised that we wont get off update
but why worry we have some great developers here im a 1000% sure they will find out a way to get it for us.
HTC tattoo is a far less powerful phone and im running 2.3.3 & with every thing working on it Yes camera,blue tooth,wifi,GPRS, everything working fine
& iv been using it for more than one month (the phones in India are only 2G)
so for us it should not be a problem its just a question of time that's all

Galaxy fit is new. They have to upgrade it at least once. From froyo to GB.
Samsung Italy has announced which devices they are planning on upgrading to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
That list is:
Galaxy S II
Galaxy Note
Galaxy Tab 10.1
Galaxy Tab 8.9
Galaxy Tab 7.7
Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus

This is absolutely ridiculous. Our tablet came out in November of last year. It's less than a year old, and Samsung is dropping us already despite being a member of Google's so-called Update Alliance.
Guess Samsung hasn't changed at all from the old days.
If this pisses you off like it pisses me off, maybe we can shame them if we complain enough on their Facebook and Twitter pages, I already did:
http://www.facebook.com/SamsungUSA#!/SamsungUSA?sk=wall
https://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobile?sk=wall
http://twitter.com/#!/SamsungMobileUS
http://twitter.com/#!/Samsungtweets
In the end, if Samsung drops us like yesterday's garbage, at least we still have our great devs here, like we always have.
I feel very lucky to have the developers!
Updated the post with the Samsung Facebook and Twitter feeds that I complained on.
With Samsung's "galaxy this and galaxy that" devices with different hardware specs you cannot expect the samsung team to come up with updates to each and everyone of them. That is a big nightmare.
As for me I will never again make a mistake in buying a samsung device. Support for an expensive device from samsung really sucks!
And to discover later that the device is not really up to quality and seems "untested" thoroughly adds to the disappointment. Example is the warming of the GT after some time of using. I have to mention that after using a rival tablet(I won't mention the brand) no similar warming happened .

Thanks, added it to the original post.
I would be just happy with sammy providing a official rom for the latest gb. I am asking even ics.
So I recently started thinking a lot about the fragmentation and it is whole mess. Everyone not just google is to blame. I will hardly consider getting android again until this gets resolved some way.

Can't we just get the damn drivers and source code... I trust the Dev community way more than any mfg

If we can get the driver source code, we should be able to build ics for tab, just like almost any modem computer can run linux...

After the official Gingerbread update for the GT-P1000 I am kind-of glad that Samsung are not touching the ol' 7".
I too prefer to put my faith in the development community. Look at Technomancer's CM7 port. That ROM really kicks some ass.
Opensource FTW!!!
We know that the Galaxy Tab is a powerful device as much as other devices that has been upgrade coming soon. This movement isn't good for Samsung because everybody will not trust in them. I think they have the best hardware in the market, but actually there are other companies that have work too hard, as Sony Ericsson.
shame on samsung
Just tested alpha2 of the first ics port - no network for data yet, but smooth feeling on p1000 - glad I bought that one ;-)

Used the Galaxy Tab P1000 before... changed to EVO3D (Asian edition cannot be hacked)... regret it to the max... who the hell wants to unlock the bootloaders from htcdev.com and void their warranty.. .definitely not me...
HTC, nice build quality, but really for a 1.2GHz dual core, it still kind of laggy... probably my hacked out Tab P1000 works much smoother... plus, with all the hacking and flashing and bricking my device TWICE, still manage to get warranty repairs by Samsung...
had the EVO3D for only 2 months.. just got rid of it and bought the shiny new Galaxy Tab Plus... this dual core tab really kicks some ass... and manage to root it easily...
multi tasking on the fly.. do you see the bar at the bottom, click on it and easy access to mini apps over your current running apps.... Nice...
I am never a brand fanboy, been using HTC since like forever, but the increasing "LOCKED" bootloaders philosophy by HTC is getting on my nerves... they forget, many gadget freaks are buying Android phones for their "customization and being open source"...
at time being, will stick to Samsung, and will put my faith on XDA developers to bring this device to the next level... long live XDA Developers...
Who needs samsung when you have a bunch of cool devs on XDA

Same here. Never had a Gingerbread update here in Australia (but that's my carrier's fault, I think) so jumped straight to Overcome and haven't looked back, apart from the odd dabble in CM7 and a quick run with Honeycomb.
I'm more than happy to wait for the devs to release an ICS build which will probably end up better than anything Samsung could've done anyway.
According to korean promotional site by samsung galaxy tab is not getting official ics update
Reason=hardware not capable of handling ics
Rom specifically if I'm not mistaken. And it's been confirmed before, this was just the reason why
And what you do not like ics who is here?
Ice cream sandwich ROM
In the quest to update my GT-P1000M Bell model from Froyo 2.2 to Gingerbread to now finally ended up with Overcome ROM 4. Everything went perfect, here and there problems and a couple of days even went by - but eventually am happy now and the tab is working fine.
So I want to thank all the members of XDA Developers for the files and the procedures and also the rest of those who posted questions and there were answers - it all helped a lot. Now I know what it is to get Bricked ...
Further I want to know where do I go from here. Did I get the actual ice cream Sandwich ROM that actually has started retailing on stores ???
Some of the problems I got which i wanted to highlight was - my tab was going to the EDGE network here in Saudi and no matter trying to figure out which modem file didn't work. I installed the bell modem file eventually although it gave a no voice warning. But the thing was that it still showed edge network. than I was fiddling with the Packet Data enable check box and when I did once it changed to H&3G and when I did again it would change to E back. Strange. Hope this might help somebody having this problem.
The MIUI Rom did not work properly at all ... So I switched over to Overcome. the keypad was not showing up. The Sim was not detected and mobile networks page were all dimmed. I didnt wait too long. My Hands were shaking ... wondering what happened

Hmm, I thought that the SGT handled ICS (CM9) quite nicely. Could use some optimizations here and there, but performance is very acceptable imo
Samsung claim that the sgs and sgt don't have the ram etc to handle their touchwiz on top of the ics as well. It's not that it can't handle ics on its own, but the both of them together. And Samsung will not release their ics roms without touchwiz on top.

What's so great about TouchWiz anyway..
Btw, Hello to fellow xda users and devs. I was wondering whether to buy a china pad or a second G-Tab. Finally bought a G-Tab mainly be'cauze of XDA

I wonder this too... I see most ROM's just getting rid of TouchWiz, so there's no way it can be that great to start with
Alright, I'll start the story here. I got a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate (SGH-i897) from AT&T about a year or so ago. I really enjoyed the phone with Eclair 2.1, then Froyo 2.2 came out.
At that point I started messing with some custom ROMs. One of the best ones that I used was Cognition. I stuck with Cognition up until 4.3.5, and then found Serendipity. At this time Serendipity 7 was the latest build for the Captivate. After loading S7, I found that to be the best ROM I have used to date for that phone.
I have since switched to a Galaxy S II (SGH-i777), and I am running Serendipity 8 on it.
Well, with that giant back-story, I'll finally get to my question. I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 7510 (Wi-Fi Only), and I'd like to ask what custom firmware "you think" I'd enjoy on my tab, based on my fondness of Serendipity 7 & 8.
I know this is a broad stroke question, and I appreciate any feedback. I just don't want to play trial and error with all sorts of crazy roms.
Thanks!
What version do you have, 3G or Wi-FI?

Galaxytask Tom
Or the preview version of ICS
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
Read through the roms and see what you fancy I'd suggest ! that's your best bet as your tastes are probibly different than mine.
Task 10 is what I'm running as it fits my everyday needs and its 200% better than stock hc
I have only tried Galaxy Task Slim 13.1, Overcome 10.1 Series v2.2.0 and the ICS build (which I liked the best). ICS is buggy but blows the others away.
Edit: Overcome CWM Recovery v5.1.2.6 seems to work the best for a CWM btw.
Def the ICS port, actually makes the tab usable, I stopped using it since it was so slow and laggy on HC
Kang ics preview is good to go but without cam at the moment

Yeah I was sad about no camera but then I remembered how bad the pictures my tablet takes are.
I have used bindroid and galaxy roms and both are great. Best thing is to try them and pick what works best for you. Also Pershoots kernel is amazing
Hi all,
Im getting rid of my Galaxy S I9000 ive had for about 18months
The envirophone phone recycling website have offered me £110 for it,
does anyone know if I have to remove custom firmware before sending it off as currently got it running Team ICS 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich ROM.
Cheers, will miss you guys, will be just round the corner with my new Galaxy SII
I think you may be fine but just flash a stock firmware to be on the safe side. Got myself a SGS today as a backup phone, nice little phone. Same as my previous SGS2 in rooting and such. You'll enjoy it's bigger brother
Thanks, i am already enjoying the SII a little snappier than the S.
Just flashed stock gingerbread so ready to send off now, though I might have a friend wanting it.
I dont think they could handle XDA though, i think stock is more their cup of tea.
