I have had the orig. Droid, the incredible, and now use the fascinate as my primary phone. I got the vzw tab in December and am shocked at how little dev there is for it. Do any of you see this picking up, or is the tab now just old news? I have not yet put any custom roms on it. (Still a little confused, and it doesnt look like there is much out there for verizon).
Does the bootstrapper app for 2 bucks work? The reviews are so mixed?
Anyone here think 3.0 will ever be ported?

I have a verizon tab and the bootstrapper worked great for me. I flashed boushh kernel and now the tab is much faster. Just make sure you have all the verizon stock software before you flash in case something goes wrong.

how do you flash verizon tab.. i want to make 2.3. thanks
yeah there never really was a lot of dev for the VZW galaxy tab, but those few that are doing it are making things a lot better for the rest of us, and we appreciate all hte work they have done!

I plan to get one because it's better than the Dell Streak in terms of being unlocked and it works as a phone (without hacking it like the Galaxy Tab). I will get this device on Best Buy this week Let's get our hack section here now!
Just got home with mine! A kinda interesting so far .

I can't wait to install CyanogenMod on this huge fish!
Quick question: I'm thinking about buying it but do you need to have 3G/sim card in order to use the market and download apps? Or can you just get the tablet and enable wifi right away and use the market?
You can just use wifi if you want. So does anyone know if cyan is working on a rom for this yet? Also, what is the best root method for it?

The S7 is a great tablet for the money. The only one I have found that is readily available with 3g, GPS and Bluetooth for $300.00. I have had mine for about a week and a half.
I love mine but I'm dying without android 2.2, any developers looking at these

you mean the prepaid packages sold from optus australia are not simlocked?
I picked one of these up the other day, and loving it. I originally picked up the Maylong M-150, but what a turd (Returned at record pace). This thing is much better. I would love to see it's own section in XDA with developer support. Cyan would be awesome on here.
Word up on the cyanogenmod shebang. This tablet is much easier to find than the Viewsonic which got its own section. So huh?
I too would like a section for this tablet and a cyanogen rom would be grand.
I just grabbed this little tablet for my son and was shocked at how much they packed in this little baby for the price. I was planning on getting a View Sonic G tablet for myself but might just grab another one of these.
Also side note anyone know where I can get a spare battery and or car charger for this thing?
Actually I really would love to see an extended battery up to 4000 mAH for this sucker.
I would love a section for this, I have the Telstra T-Touch Tab, which is what Telstra have rebranded it to in Australia, I think their hardware is slightly different though I am not 100% on that, if it is different then maybe a sub-forum for the T-Touch would be in order
This tablet has a lot of potential for froyo cooking and such, I do hope we get a forum
I just rooted my vzw tab and i was wondering what i have to do to put a recovery or such to install custom roms, and what is the fastest rom for the vzw tab.
Look for verizon tab bootstrapper in the market (paid), it worked for me. As far as roms in my tab I flashed the only kernel available for vrz tab. Got 1711 result in quadrant.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
and this does what? sorry for the noob question but i have searched the threads and the dev section is way too out of whack to find ANYTHING useful. and I don't have money I'm poor. I saw the manual way to do what the market app does but the links provided are dead.
The kernel only makes the tab be more responsive, faster. Download quadrant from market and compare your results with mine. As far as recovery I paid for the app because it did not involved any instructions typing. The bootstrapper converts your system to ext4 and you need this to put new rom or kernel in the tab.

I'm still confused. I don't want to use the bootstrapper because a lot of people said that it bricked their tabs. what do I do to put on a recovery,flash roms, and create backups
Brick is a relative term. If the tab gets turned off and I don't know where the power button is and I can't get it back on, then relatively speaking it is a brick to me...sadly a lot of times there is a very simple way to get past a "brick" state, but then the person does something rash like flashing a random rom with repartition and now have made it much more difficult for themselves to dig out of the hole they are in.
There are a lot of people getting stuck at the samsung logo on reboot...there is good information out there to get past this, and by now it is an expected result, but that doesn't stop someone from freaking out and doing something they shouldn't.
Look for cruiserbax instruction post in the CwM thread...its right around page 49.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
thanks for pointing me to that post. now I have CWM 3.0.0.0 installed. Now does anyone know of a great starter ROM that i can flash right from recovery that is real speedy? my quadrant scores are crap(1030) even on ext4.
Since we are kinda the minority here we really need to stick together. We should start putting a thread together of our wish lists for developers. I feel like we are kinda behind the curve compared to the GSM folks and hope we can get more people involved in CDMa stuff.
Your thoughts.......
Good idea. . . . Just not enough dev in the sgt anyways. I bought my verizon sgt 2 weeks ago in hopes of something fun to flash like a hc port or CM7. I am dissapoint.

I am new to this and willing to learn, and will support with beer funds. I am assuming that the vzw efforts will carry over to Sprint since both are cdma devices. I have my galaxy tablet rooted but have not gone any further as I have not fully understood so many of the posts in regards to which are the better rom to use, the best method of flashing based on the rom, so to avoid any of the big issues..aka not booting etc. I am looking for a really good guide to get started. One that says first and foremost fo this before you start so you can recover you device if you really bugger it up.
I was in the same situation as you up until last weekend, notice I avoided using the "same Boat"
for now the first thing you need to get is Heidmall, dl the stock image and warez for your specific unit. If you need help I have aol and Gmail chat, Pm me for that info.

HID or SPP Verizon Galaxy
I may have found a solution for the bluetooth keyboard issue. "keypro" on the market will drive certain SPP keyboards (not HID) it is a little more to work with than the single verizon samsung option for keyboard use. I am waiting for my freedom universal standard keyboard and keypro is supposed to support it. You can download the program free and see what keyboards it supports. I will let you know when my keyboard comes in. Sorry if I am in the wrong posting area I just signed up so I could share this.
Thumbs up dude!

Im in man we definetly need to stick together. And while I do really want Honeycomb, I NEEEEEEED HID drivers before anything else! Yay for dev's
I dont profess to be any coding expert, and All I really know anything about is the VZW tab at this point. Sprint files are totally different but loading is the same.
VZW people should be on the look out for a new Kernel from Boushh, Im running it now for 24 hours and its a screamer and totally stable. Latest benchmark was 2221.
It should be out tonight or soon after.
Trying to learn basics of coding and all in the upcoming weeks. Hopefully ill be able to contribute down the road. I bought min early January and am very happy so far.. even with a gingerbread/wp7 hd2 on hand..my tablet is used much more. I have heavily layer into the honeycomblayout/theme and just the changeover to khasmeks work and honeycomb density and layout...I've started using much more. Like I said,I'm really pumped to start deving as I know alot of cdma users will benefit from more work coming to the table..when I start getting confident and have things down pat..even then I can't promise it will be as good as what Boushh has done,but at least it will be an attempt at getting more dev for cdma

I Feel like im stuck, i have the Sprint GT. Seems there is minimal development for the Sprint GT and having an HTC EVO and using the EVO forums I'm sad.. I would gladly open my wallet as i do in the EVO forums here in the GT forums. Anybody out there feeling my same pain?
I feel your pain. I think I've only a few rooted apps working on my Sprint Tab. Not the end of the world but my Moto Droid is more fun to play with. I'm something of a hack so I don't even know if it's possible to unlock the bootloader but it would be nice to have a few other apps working like the Wireless Tether.
Sprint Tab
I understand completely. I bought a Sprint Tab and was shocked at the lack of development (came from incredible which is very similar to Evo). However, after root, CWM, voodoo, and custom kernel, I can say that I don't really desire to do anything else to my Tab. I cleaned up some bloatware myself (freeze/delete) and it runs like a dream. BTW, see this thread if you need help with anything besides root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016758
So don't be too disappointed, with some minor changes (VOODOO!!!) you won't need a custom rom. App performance, battery life, and general usage are all terrific now.

Thanks for the great info! I would really be happy if i could eventually have honeycomb on my GT. Im super happy with performance and size but it looks like all of the alpha and soon to be beta versions for the GT are all GSM or for Verizon. Well i said all that because my 30 trial is up in a few weeks and i dont want to be stuck with 2.2. But im gonna give Voodoo a try, just need to read up on it entirely. Thanks again!
Why don't you try overcome custom rom?

I may need to search harder not sure i saw overcome for Sprint.

Honestly guys, aside from Spacemonkey's HC port, there's not much support for the VZW Tab either. All I have are a few root apps, and CWM, which is virtually useless without development. The Xoom already has custom kernels, but nobody seems to be able to get behind the GT on any level. Kinda disappointing, but I'll check out Voodoo, and maybe give that a shot.

I'm also curious where you got a sprint overcome rom.
Hey all!!!
I've made my return to XDA after about a year of using an old blackberry when my last HTCrap broke.. I was so sad without my android I spent time fussing with my iPad Mini and it wasn't the same!
So over the weekend I finally switched from T-Mobile to AT&T and I couldn't be happier with my service (the LTE is FAST!!) nor the phone cause this S4 is such a treat as I'm sure you all know.
So as I try to get settled back into what was the daily XDA grind of helping fellow users and always trying to gain knowledge of our device and anything Android I felt it would benefit me if I could get a jump start in my new community!
I have a few questions that I know I can/will answer myself but I would value all and any input from you guys
So first off... What's gone wrong with the ROOT???? I was so excited when the S3 came out boot loader unlocked already and all... I had even pre ordered that one at one point.. But here it seems there is only a select percent of users who have attained root on their phone? Seems as if we as a community haven't quite unlocked our phones full potential yet!!
My next question stems from that last question. How is the development scene looking for our device?
I know the Samsung legacy has been a very attractive platform for some wonderful developers in the past, and that was something I was looking forward to with the S3 and is still true for my S4! My question is how good is our outlook?
Anyways other than that just little questions I have that I am sure i'll figure out as I get back into it all
Any good apps you guys could recommend that have maybe gained a footing in the past few months?
That's guys and I can't wait to get to start poking around and helping out as our device gets rolling!!!
Cheers!
Matt

Oh and also guys!!!
This is my first Samsung phone I have had all HTCraps ever since my G1 it was all those htcs!!!! So even though I've read lots about the odin and that USB Jig thing and all that from the S2 days and such I don't quite understand what that is and why it is that we have to pay attention to such on our Sammie's... So if anyone could point me in the direction of a good guide to learning that maybe I would be much appreciative!!!
Thanks!!

A lot will depend on which firmware you have. If you have mdl or mdb your pretty much good to go. BUT, take your SIM out now and do some research. If you have mf3 you only can root, no custom recovery or flashing roms.
Edit, and no odin back to stock. Very important to consider.

I would enable the Google keyboard instead of using the Samsung one. It has swipe built in and works better and also recommend setting chrome as the default browser because the stock one is nice but acts funny with the yahoo news widget when reading articles.
