VEGAn-Tab SUPPLEMENT ROM Manager Support (Beta3b, updated 12/13/10)

The usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK disclaimer. I'd also highly recommend clockworkmod recovery .08 as a pre-req. We are only testing for cwm users.
I Recommend a CACHE Wipe. Data wipe shouldn't be necessary.
IF YOU DON'T USE or DON'T PLAN TO USE - ROM Manager - Then there is no need to update. These changes will be added to BETA 4. Unless you want the new boot IMAGE below instead of the G-Tablet on white background currently present.
Build URL: http://vegantab.gojimi.com/
Downloads: http://vegantab.gojimi.com/downloads
1.0.0 Beta3b Link: http://vegantab.gojimi.com/download/gtab.vegan.1.00.beta3b.zip
This is an update.zip formatted file. You'd run this like you'd run any other update.zip file.
-----------------------------------------------
This is a collaborative effort between myself, Roebeet, Rothnic and whoever else wants to pitch in. A ROM based off the Advent Vega firmware.
Benefits of this supplement
- ROM Manager should now allow you to select G-Tablet as your device
Known issues(same as BETA 3)
- sdcard2 will not remount if you eject and re-insert (should be fixed in beta 3).
- The initial Google setup on a fresh install will not get past the first screen (I believe it's because the phone apks were removed). The fix for this is to use the "four corner fix", to bypass. See this video for details: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5XjF6sPef4. This should be fixed in beta 3.
- weird orange bar is showing up in the stock Calendar app.
Changelog
- (a2) We are using alpha1 as our "base" image, and then a modular format on top of that. So, alpha2 is a full update.zip package.
- (a2) VOLD should be fixed using a hack. 30 seconds after bootup, SDCARD2 should start working. Or, it may not work. It's an alpha.
- (a2) Vega user apk script has been added, which is supposed to add Flash on a newly wiped system. But it's spotty at best.
- (a2) Camera should be fixed.
- (a2) We're deleting some of the unneeded system apps like Twitter, Facebook, the Htc stuff in gapps and talkback. You can always add these back via the Market. The reason is to keep the image a little cleaner.
- (a2) Audio fix added.
- (a3) Added changes to the framework for smaller status bar and VEGAn boot screen.
- (a3) Added Gingerbread keyboard.
- (b1) SSL bug fixed. Also, added the latest YouTube and Gmail apps. Removed the user apk script for now, as it's really buggy.
- (b2) VOLD post-boot replaced with a mount commend. Should be more stable and might fix the disappearing apps, I hope. New Gmail, adhoc wireless support added, adfree hosts file removed (get "adfree android" app in the market to get it back), removed the Phone apks which should improve battery life.
- (b3) Mounting issues should be completely corrected, audio issues are corrected, new rothnic theme added, new Gmail and Voice apps, new Settings app with advanced Wifi (and policy is set to "never sleep" by default).
- (b3b) Fixed ROM Manager to allow G-Tablet device Selection
New Boot Image replaces G-Tablet logo on white background:

Thank you, love the new boot image!

worked great thanks

Finally, it is not embarrassing to reboot in public. Thank you much.

Well, everything was working fine. I cleared cache and installed the new update and now I cant get WIFI to connect. I'd really prefer not to data wipe.
Just goes from scanning, to connected, back to disconnected, then scanning again. Sigh

If you are using wireless tether for android, try quickly enabling then disabling access control. It should connect almost immediately after that. Works for me, anyways.

Not to sound like I am talking down to you, but have you tried a reboot? Amazing what that fixes sometimes.

Yup that's where I was heading next, I successfully connected to a neighbors network, so its gotta be something on my end. Thanks
And yes I rebooted.

New boot image is great. Now I just have to follow the guide to get rid of the birds.
I didn't have any problems applying this over my beta 3 vegan. Wifi connected just fine. Just had to do the market fix again. Easy peasy.
Good job.

Flawless. Thanks.

Did you guys do something to improve 3D graphics? Like pick up a new GLES lib??? As my Quadrant scores are Now 2610!!! Only slowdown is IO writes else I couldn't have watched any individual test, as each so swift...

Lost access to the internal SD card while in CM. I can still see it with root explorer but now I have to place all zip files to flash on the external card... Not a bid deal but I'm wondering id that was the intent....

this is awesome! unlocked some stuff that i couldn't use before in rom manager. now it properly flashes the latest cwm recovery and also able to flash back to bekit 0.8. nice! liking the new boot image as well.

What Clockwork did you flash from ROM Manager... or have currently on your tablet. As far as I know. only bekit 0.8 clockwork also available on ROM Manager allows access to internal memory. Until that is changed we still recommend 0.8.
Let me know.

ok this newest version isn't working right for me. i'm on version 2.5.1.8 (the latest) and it only recognizes sdcard2 and not sdcard. when i make a backup, it goes to sdcard2. when i choosed to install a zip, it looks in sdcard2. i tried reflashing back to bekit 0.8 but it wouldn't even let me create a backup. i'm gonna try and flash to a dif version.

I had a similar issue. if i tried to run from Rom Manager, after going back to bekit 0.8, it still tried to go to the sdcard2. if I manually rebooted into recovery it worked fine.

awesome! this worked. flashed back to bekit 0.8 and booted into recovery using hot reboot, not rom manager. i guess rom manager is pretty much useless at this point for me.

How to REALLY Root and update your 2.2.1 Slide to cyanogen 7 - Noob Edition Summer 11

You have undoubtedly seen lot of Rooting guides for the Mytouch 3G Slide, claiming to root the phone:
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_myTouch_Slide:_Full_Update_Guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108316 New way to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999121 Ultra Easy Rooter [dbzfanatic][xologist]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025336 How-To [Root][NewLinks] The myTouch 3GS if you updated to Offical 2.2.1 and lost root
SuperOneClick doesn't work. Nothing works, I've tried them all several times from several different angles. Therer is some sort of NAND lock on the phone, above and beyond typical. Anyways.
None of the aformentioned guides work, so won't waste your time like I did. They are also all written by people who can not communicate well with other human life forms, and they assume you have a CS and/or IS degree, and also assume you have all the software installed on your machine that they have on theirs, and have all the same settings on your phone that you "should" have on yours and they also assume you are doing some "obvious" steps in the middle of their steps that you should know how to do. They won't tell you that, but they do. So here is the REAL definitive step by step guide, with pics, on how to do it. BTW, you don't need a gold card. You don't need to mess with any consol crap. This should take 15-20 minutes max. What we're basically going to be doing is downgrading to 2.1-update1, then rooting, then putting on the Cyanogen Mod, then adding the google apps (which are not included in the cyanogen mod). I've put as many pics as I could and tried to do a step by step that ANYONE can follow.
I was using Windows 7 64-bit SP1 and I think these are the things that you need to have set up, you may not need them but I was trying so many of everything that I don't even know if they are all required, I'm sure I missed some things, but I will keep editing this guide as needed)
*Make sure you have at least 25MB of free space on your phone's internal memory.
*Make sure you've backed everything up you want to (text messages, bookmarks, programs, etc) But the google cloud should keep most your other stuff okay. (email etc) http://tinyurl.com/3b4qp6q
*Turn USB Debugging on your phone. (Settings, applications, development > USB Debugging - check)
*Turn phone to charge mode only when you plug in the USB cable
*PDAnet was running on the PC (This is required it will install the correct driver for step 1, though it's a tethering app and you won't need it for that) - http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php
1. Plug in phone and go to device manager from control panel on your computer.
You open the "Android USB Devices" and see what driver it says.
If it says something like "Mytouch Slide 3G"

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
go to Update driver > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick
pick this one: "ADB Device Interface" , say okay, etc.
If it does say "ADB Drvice Interface" you're good. Exit out of that.
2. Download "T-Mobile_myTouch_3G_Slide_Software_Update_2.15.531.3.exe" from here http://www.htc.com/us/support/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-slide/downloads/ (157MB)
3. Go to your temp windows folder. IF you do Start > Search %TEMP% it should pop up. Keep on eye on this folder as you do the next step. (Maybe sort by date modified to help)
4. Double Click the "T-Mobile_myTouch_3G_Slide_Software_Update_2.15.531.3.exe" file and have it extract everything. At the first main screen, just wait there with it open and not installed.
You hopefully should have seen some folders be created in your temp file. There were 2 on mine, like so, check them both out:
When you see the one that looks like this:
and has a folder structure like this:
that's the folder you want to copy. So:
5. Highlight the folder with "ARUWizard.exe" and "rom.zip" in it. Mine had about 74 files in it. Copy it, and copy it to another part of your hard drive, and rename that awful folder, sheesh. (not needed)
6. You can close out of the Rom Update Utility.
7. In that NEW copied folder, delete "rom.zip"
8. Download the ~140 MB "ESPRIMG.zip" from here: http://www.4shared.com/file/OsmF_ZD7/ESPRIMG.html
9. Put it into the folder that we copied out, and rename it from ESPRIMG.zip TO rom.zip
10. Now, while you are in that folder, "ARUWizard.exe" check check, next, etc.
11. This will downgrade your phone from 2.2.1 to 2.1-update1
12. Tada! Good job. Now, go download the lastest Cyanogen firmware ROM here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=espresso
13. Rename the "update-cm-7.X.X-Slide-signed.zip" to "update.zip"
14. While you are doing this, download the lastest Google Apps from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#Google_Apps Mine was called "gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip" and put that on your phone's memory card as well, no renaming needed.
15. Turn off your phone and take out the memory card and put it in your computer (or turn the phone back into a mountable drive) and copy over the update.zip onto the root director of your memory card.
16. Hold "down volume" and "power" which will boot you into a techy looking screen. Ignore any errors, the volume up and down navigates, so go into "Recovery" Mode.
17. Once in the Recovery, you will see a device with a triangle. Press "Volume Up" & the "Power" button.
18. Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset. Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
19. See the option to "apply sdcard:update.zip" ? Do it, with power as confirm. This will put the Cyanogen mod on your phone!
20. Reboot system now. Now, you should boot into Cyanogen 2.3.x! However, you will notice you don't have any of the google apps.
21. So, Now, go into your programs on the phone, and you will see "Rom Manager" a eye with a tophat. Say "Install Rom from SD Card" and pick the "gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip" You may have to fiddle with the plugging in USB/etc to get access to this, you don't have to buy the program, it will do it, but you have to have it set up so you can see the MicroSDcard, etc.
It will reboot your phone and you will now and install all the google apps. The most important one is MARKET, so you can download stuff. It will now go through all the TOS for each google program you said you want. The rest the wizard should navigate you through properly.
Holy hell this was a terribly troubleshooting process which probably took me 20 hours to figure out they were ALL wrong. Big thanks to "Da Maestro" who helped me on Cyanogenmod.
Enjoy!

wait wait wait... so will this method revert the hboot from 1. whatever to the older version and allow S-OFF?!

yeah, I don't even know what you're saying, I'm such the nube. I don't think this deals with the S-On/Off problem though. I saw some other posts that fixed that. This method does nothing to do with that, as far as I know
All I'm saying is I have Cyanogen 7 on my phone and this is how I did it from 2.2.1 stock.

as far as i'm aware of, there's no S-OFF after you upgrade to 2.2.1, so i was thinking if you can check your hboot by powering off your phone and then turn it on by holding down volume down and power button. hboot version should be on the very top of your screen.

Bootloader error
I get 140 bootloader version error from the RUU. So far I have not been able to get any of the root mrthods to work with my slide.
Any ideas?

Well at least your not alone in that club. Getting the same error, even using a goldcard. I guess back to the drawing board for us at least.

yeah I had that error too,
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/28205-stuck-on-step-8-rooting/
EDIT: To fix it, make sure PDANet it installed and that will install the driver so you can change it from "t-mobile mytouch 3G" to "ADB Device..." It's step 1.

That is one thing I didn't see, although upon checking it,s not there, and I do have the android SDK installed :/
If it helps any I'm on windows 7 ultimate x64 (since the problem seems driver related).
*edit 1* I keep seeing places where it says to check for the ADB interface driver, but nobody seems to know how to actually install said driver, or where it can be found at.
*edit 2* Turns out that PDAnet is what supplies the ADB driver, so as it happens that IS required (and here I thought that was a stupid tethering app)
*Edit 3* So just to make sure I downloaded the software on the posted links just to make sure some of the other versions I had were not incompatable, and still no joy. At this point I've spent a good 6 hours trying to root this phone and growing significantly more annoyed with it. If anyone has any feel free to contact me, I'd really like to get this working.

hey thanks, I'll edit the guide to say it's required.

Same here, went through all of the steps, still keep getting the 140 error.
edit* went all the way through the steps again very thoroughly, still getting the same error 140. Any Ideas?

It was such a complicated process, dealing with all the other guides some part of them may have worked that I missed. Maybe you do indeed need to make a gold card. It didn't work (I think) on one MicroSD card so I changed to another one.
So I guess make a gold card and give it a try. This is the guide I used to make a gold card:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Create_a_Goldcard
Thanks for helping me get this guide correct.
One thing I did have to do is change USB ports and USB cables, as stupid as that is, I know, I know. The ones in my monitor worked but the front ones on my computer didn't work with the ROM update utility, but I think the error code I was getting was 170 or 171 USB disconnect error.

What if you were to save that rom.zip file directly on the SD card, as the update.zip file first? Would that load 2.1? Because the installer wont.
I'm going to try it....
Nope, didn't work.

The gold card would be great if I had a second sd card, guess I will have to go buy one if I want to regain root.

the gold card worked for me just fine after getting my replacement phone on 2.2.1 all i did was back up everything on my sd card make and use the gold card get root and put every thing back on my sd card just fine.

I'm kinda confused why there is gold card discussion here. The method outlined in the first post specifically says that you don't need a gold card. Does this method not work and is that why you are trying gold card stuff?

I don't think should have it running while you root. (I would assume that would just cause problems.) You just need to install it for the usb drivers and make sure it works.

[ROM]We're Back! [01/17/12] 3.2.1 Honeylicious Flash Glass HC Stock Based Kernel

Honeylicious 3.2.1 Flash Glass​
Now that the Holidays are over, and worked has slowed down somewhat, I have more time to spend with the thread.
Honeylicious was created for myself, by myself so I wouldn't have to rely on someone else's work.
I got sick of the "stick figure UI" that Google continues to produce, so what you'll see here is something more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", so if it doesn't please you, you can download
The UI has had a "glass" filter applied through Photoshop to give it a "glassy" finish.
You won't see any custom kernels here, nor revision updates, as these are all tried, tested, and true final releases.
What you will find is one of the fastest, smoothest, most dependable, and stable stock kernel based ROMs out anywhere for the Acer Iconia A500.!
Please read the "Install Instructions" carefully, and/or watch the Video Tutorial on how to flash correctly.
The 3.2.1 Youtube Fix is included in this Rom thanks to Civato.
Special thanks to Civato @ XDA for all his help in getting the camera working properly with this ROM, for the original apks he had given me, which have been changed immensely since that time, although there are a few png files that still remain the same, and all the other help and inspiration he has provided.
When you purchase a new automobile, it doesn't come with free driving lessons, neither does Android, and this ROM doesn't either. There are a few things you'll need to know before flashing a ROM.
If you're unsure of what you need to do, or simply can't follow the explicit directions in the "Install Instructions" (video included), take this link first to get you started. Click Here for the wealth of information in the A500 Wiki.
If you've previously flashed another one of Thor's ROMs with his custom kernel that he refuses to release the source code for, you may have problems flashing other ROMs until you COMPLETELY WIPE AND FORMAT YOUR SDCard. My personal opinion on this matter is, "if you have nothing to hide, then why are you hiding it?"
DO NOT USE ANY MODS FROM ANY OTHER VERSION OF HONEYLICIOUS AS YOU WILL BE MODIFYING YOUR SYSTEMUI.APK, AND FRAMEWORK-RES.APK WITH AN INCORRECT VERSION AND YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS!
Now, onto the ROM:
It's built on Stock PB G100W 4.010.05_COM_GEN1 found HERE: Stock base (stock kernel), Honeylicious sweet, rooted, tweaked for speed and stability, superuser and Busybox installed, and Bootloader.blob removed, that you've come to know for it's rock solid dependability, stability, and the most speed you can eek out of a stock based ROM, with an Icey Glass Finish!
What Works:
EVERYTHING!
What Doesn't Work:
NOTHING!
This ROM has had all of the useless stock apps that are constantly in "Running Services" ripped out, to give extra battery life, as well as speed. You'll notice in the "Running Apps Settings" screen shot that only two other apps are running (besides "Settings", and "Screen Shot It" which were needed to take the screen shot).
Apps Ripped Out:
Game Loft
Link to Facebook
Music
Nemo Player
Social Jogger
Sound Hound
Zineo
Replace Ripped out Glass App Pack HERE:All apps in one zip file (unzip main file to find individual apps in their own CWM Flashable zip files). So you can add in whatever you like to slow your system down once again.
What Extra Apps are included:
System Apps Added
Polaris Office
Extra Data Apps Added: (you may uninstall through "Settings", "Applications", "Manage Applications").
Avast Android Mobile Security (you need to open it once in applications to setup your preferences for it to run)
SDRescan
AdFree
HD File Explorer
HD BackGammon
HD Solitaire
HD Spades
Bluetooth File Transfer
Dolphin HD Browser
Fancy Widgets (free version)
Shake Calculator
Adobe Flash 11.1
Google Voice
Fancy Widgets has a battery meter included in the Weather/Clock widget. Go into Fancy Widget settings, "clock settings", "extra information", and tick "show battery level" for 1% increment battery levels. Fancy Widgets is the Weather/Clock widget shown in the screen shots, both weather and clock are "MIUI Inspired" style selected in "appearance" settings.
What's Different:
Ice Blue Glass Themed Rom
Five Extra Ice Blue Themed Wallpapers located in the stock Google Wallpapers.
Five Extra Themed Wallpapers located in the stock Google Wallpapers.
ICS Fonts
ICS Clocks
GPS Tweaks have been added to ensure rapid GPS Lock!
Latest Version of Superuser, and binaries.
All the goodness that 3.2.1 brings with it including the Newest Market. As you can see from the running applications Screen Shot there are only two running apps (aside from "settings", and "ScreenShotIt" which needed to be running to take the screen shot.
If you choose not to follow the explicit Install Instructions, not only do you do so at your own risk, I don't want to hear any whining about ANYTHING not working correctly, and post your questions HERE!
This ROM has been tested EXTENSIVELY with absolutely no problems or glitches whatsoever (hence "final release").
Normal disclaimer about how flashing a rom can be dangerous for your Tablet, blah, blah, blah. Please always perform a backup before flashing this ROM. If you some how screw the pooch, consider it "Pilot Error", and I am not responsible.
If you want to flash another kernel with this ROM, you do so at your own risk. I have no idea who's kernel will work with this ROM. If you do choose to flash a custom kernel with this ROM, please direct all questions regarding problems you are experiencing in the thread that you got your kernel from, as they will not be answered here.
If you are having problems with certain apps, remember this is a Stock Based Rom, so please direct your questions regarding said app to the developer of the app.
I took much of my own time and effort building this ROM, typing up instructions, and creating the install video. If you ask a question in this thread that has OBVIOUSLY already been answered in this OP, the only reply you will receive from me is this:

@kjy2010 - First class job of presentation. I refuse to believe that anybody can screw up flashing your ROM after your ultra clear directions. I'm currently running Kekinash's 3.2 near stock rom but I like the look of your effort and I will flash it to my A500 as soon as I've got a spare minute. Once more thank you.

Thank you.
Post back after install, and let us know what you think!
Edit: I've seen some of your boot animations. If you'd care to create a custom animation for this ROM, I'd be more than happy to give you credit for it.

You're very kind I'll give it some thought. I did just complete a small ICS anim, more for fun than anything else but you might like to look at it. I won't bother you by attaching it here but my good friend JaeKar99 has just added a preview gif of my anim to my post which is on the last page of the thread "Publish your A500 Boot Anims......." in the Themes & Apps section.

OP - Thought I'd throw this one at you, it's only a re-hash of what I did before but more specific to your rom. I have to admit that I don't have a single ounce of artistic ability in my body so what you get from me is always pretty simple and uncomplicated. I fear that it might not be "high tech" enough for your needs but worse case it costs neither of us anything and may give you some ideas.
Latest thought.....Should it be of interest to you then the "speed" and "display period" could easily be adjusted to your requirements.

ah, nice work kjy.
No problem on taking it apart and giving it your own twist.
That is why it is there for.
Don't forget it is BigDX is the one that did start this Modding,I changed an modded the ICS stuff into it so it worked on the A500.
I also got settings icones but didn't use them because I think it makes the settings menu out of balance.
If you want some stuff let me know.

3g USB
Hi all, I'm newbie with Iconia A500, I have 16gb wi-fi model, and I want to know if this rom supports 3g USB modem?
I want to know too if can I backup the original ROM before personalize my tablet for don't lose warranty and to recover them if necessary?
Thanks

Remove apps before flash
hi, kjy2010,
As you know, I'm very proud of your previous ROM, which I've flashed before. As I have Quickoffice installed, could be a problem if I remove the Polaris Office apk within the zip file (without winzipping it), before flashing this ROM?
Thanks!

First, you have to have root access, and CWM installed to flash a ROM. There are plenty of threads in this forum on the subject, please use the search function. They will guide you through root, CWM, and backup.
Second, some people have reported success using Civato's 3gmodem patch located in his thread.
Please take these other questions to the appropriate threads, not here

Fresh install after following the instructions above. The only apps i have installed from the Market are Busybox and Busybox Pro.
When I try to install Busybox it tells me 'There seems to be a problem with some of the utilities needed to install busybox'. Any suggestions anyone?

There are a few different versions of busybox and pro in the market, which one did you install?

Yeah I now see that STEricson's version is still broken. Ran with JRummy16 and is working correctly now.

Thanks for your kind words and for your posted credit. I'm glad you could use the animation. By the way I'm not publishing this anim on my Theme thread I would rather it stayed exclusively here. Receiving a credit on your rom thread is almost like having my name up in lights in Holywood...lol

[SOLVED!!] Process com.samsung.syncservice?? And a quick question on Overclocking...

I just got my mytouch4G from a member on here, immediately loaded the newest CWM touch onto it and then downloaded feb's newest Creamed Glacier test ROM, and every time I start my phone it says 'Process com.samsung.syncservice has stopped unexpectedly.' when it boots up..there was also a failed process for 'verizon sign-in' or something that I didn't get to read because as fate would have it it popped up as I was backing out of an application and it flashed on the screen before I could stop my finger it was gone..
I have a Samsung Epic, and it is possible that some of the files from that got picked up while doing a titanium backup (??) restore because I use the SD card in multiple android devices, so there is no doubt some crossover in the generic folders created on the card..I'm just wondering if anyone else is getting this and if not, where is this 'com.samsung.syncservice' apk located so I can delete it?
If not, I'll just reflash the ROM and see if that helps, but I'd rather just delete that process from my system so if it happens again I know what to do without having to restore a nand.
And quickly, what do you guys prefer to OC to? My Epic maxes out at 1500, and is stable only up to about 1300 on CM9 (currently at 1200mhz to be safe), but it seems to be running smoother with less lag than the mytouch which is clocked MUCH higher (1600-1700mhz), although the governor I use on my Epic is not available on this kernel (lagfree). Any feedback would be appreciated, I don't want to fry my CPU while trying to remedy the lag if it can't be remedied..what settings are you using (speed/gov)? THANKS!

Whaaaa? Samsung? Verizon? That's crazy talk right there. I ran one of the test builds the other day and didn't see either. Sounds like somebody tried to port something from a verizon phone and the files are hanging out on the system partition. Did you wipe it before flashing?
Also, most Mytouch 4G's will run all day at 1500. Battery life will take a hit though. Smartass and, if you have the option, Darkside are great governors.

Yes I did full wipe in CWM, manually factory/cache/dalvik, and then installed the ROM, flashed gapps, updated the kernel to the 'suggested' kernel n feb's thread (darkside I believe?) and rebooted..
I am pretty sure that it showed the process on reboot, though not sure if it did on first reboot or if it made it's first appearance when I did a titanium restore (it froze while the second app was restoring and did a soft reboot, I think that might have been when I first saw it after that reboot)- but the only apps I restored were mostly ones I had dl'd on the glacer- I did use my backup for setcpu and installed a swype-beta backup, but I am fairly certain that those backups came from my Asus Transformer not from the Samsung (the swype beta is what tells me this as samsung comes with swype stock thus would have never had a swype beta installed/backed up). And I didn't install data, as far as I know...or, maybe I did, let me go check...
I know..making me scratch my head too.
EDIT: Going to go back into titanium backup and just wipe the data/cache for the apps that I installed and reboot, if it still comes up it was in one of the flashed files IMO
EDIT2: Wiped, still came up- now to try a factory reset and see if it is still there, and then if it is I guess I'll reflash again and try it one at a time until I figure out what caused it. I'll be back with an answer I guess..lol

After factory reset, items still there, 'failed verizon login' and 'com.samsung.syncservice process' both popping up after reboot. :/ time to take it one flash at a time..this will be fun
Ok, well then...complete wipe, factory and all, installed ONLY the creamed glacier test ROM and both processes still prompted.
I guess I'll try another ROM (??) though I still don't see why that would be doing this..if others haven't experienced it as well..report back soon with results from another ROM (try something that feb did not cook up)

you could always use root explorer to pinpoint the files and manually delete them. I have my phone OC @ 1024/245 superbad, sleep @ 368/245 powersave and never had any lag issues at all. I can even run at 768 superbad with minimal lag

I tried to find the files with root explorer, I found the data/data/com.samsung.syncservice folder and deleted it, but something else in the boot initialization (maybe actually in the init.d file? No couldn't be..) is still trying to run those processes..they aren't in the system/apps or system/bin folder, I don't know where to look and search did not locate them
Any ideas where they might be? Still not flashed another ROM, downloading ..

try looking in system/framework or system/etc/permissions. if you cant find it in there, try to flash another ROM to see if your problem still persists. if it does, my best advice would be to re-format your SD card

So you're saying there is a possibility of rogue files on the SD card causing the problem? I'll yank the card and reboot as soon as these ROMs get done downloading (yes, they have been en route since my last post- apparently the virtuous unity ROM is on a VEEERRRYY slow server... )
I'm guessing that if I flash a new ROM, yank the card and on reboot still get the issue, well, that can't be possible we'll cross that bridge in a moment
It has to be something to do with that or the gapps that I flashed, which doesn't make sense because it was an official package from february that wasn't device-specific..........
I'm a total noob with this phone, it seems to be behaving differently than any of the phones I've dealt with thus far (HTC HD7 and Thunderbolt, Moto Atrix, Moto Droid2, Samsung Epic, ZTE Blade, Asus Transformer). Oh well, learning curve ahead..
EDIT: I found some (should have searched for ' *samsung* ' ) in data/user/0/com.samsung~ and others in data/data/com.sams~, all the processes were missing from the folders except there were some samsung folders that were not labeled 'syncservce' that contained some xml files, so I deleted every folder with 'samsung' in the name (not sure how those got onto the internal memory, these folders should not have been created when installing apps from titanium backup imo)
Now searching for ' *verizon* ' to see what that yields. I'll update here in a bit..
EDIT 2: Yep, found some verizon SSO files in my DALVIK CACHE and my System folder root (WTF!?)..I've been reading about Stuxnet over the past few days, things like this make me a might nervous!
Thanks guys..
EDIT WTF!? (3): So, after deleting those files, I got the verizon prompt to go away..but still having the com.samsung.syncservice process coming up after reboot, now to try and reflash the ROM..I think I'll try to wipe and flash the same ROM over, and if it persists I'll flash these ROMs;
Darkside CM7.2
Virtuous Unity (latest released and previous version)
Creamed Sense
Those are all I'm going to mess with right now, because there are WAY too many ROMs for this phone!!
@#$%^&*!!! (4): WIPE EVERYTHING, CLEAN INSTALL, DARKSIDE ROM, PROCESS STILL PROMPTING!! Now...NOW..I'm getting upset..

Issue did not get fixed, I just restored a nandroid so we'll see if that fixed it- so far however, nothing seems to be ridding the phone of the errant samsung sync process...verizon is gone though!
Nandroid seemed to have fixed the issue (at least haven't seen the popup yet..) so I'm going to see if I can flash the same ROM again, no titanium backup and no extra apps- to see if that causes it, then I will know it is something in the ROM file..or something I did afterwards (still want to recreate my steps completely and see if I can replicate the problem and figure out what happened to begin with).
I've always used the same SD card when flashing devices, though the files get backed up on the PC and edited from time to time..so if this happened once I want to prevent it from happening again, though it would be a real pain to have to wipe my "ROM flash" card between every device.
As before, will keep it up to date and post the solution (and cause if I can determine it) for progeny.
(BTW, I also live in GA..)

It was the GOD-AMM Creamed Glacier Test ROM!!!
What the hell man...after wiping, restoring a nandroid and ridding myself of it, flashing the ICS beta from febycv triggered both the verizon and the samsung sync processes immediately!
That ROM is out, now to restore my nandroid once again and try another ROM..just to be certain that it was, in fact, the Creamed Glacier test ROM (creamedglaciertest200.zip)
WTH..
CONFIRMED..restored my nandroid and then flashed DARKSIDE CM7, no errant processes appeared, flashed GApps for GB and rebooted, no errant apps again (that actually failed to install the GApps after multiple flashes so even installed the ICS Gapps with no effect or errant processes, so loaded an old market app)..downloaded Root Explorer from market to search for *verizon* and *samsung*, no results. I own a samsung phone, but have no connection to verizon whatsoever, this to me proves that this ROM (creamed Glacier) is the culprit..though I am still baffled as to why I seem to be the only person to experience this..thinking about trying to flash that creamed glacier app ONE MORE TIME now just to prove to myself that I didn't do anything wrong, that the problem is with the ROM package..
DOUBLE, TRIPLE, BEYOND EQUIVOCAL DOUBT CONFIRMATION: Flashed the Creamed Glacier ROM right over the CM7, processes are back. No more fooling with Creamed Glacier for me..

Wow. That's crazy. Have you brought this up in the Creamed Glacier thread? This should be talked about.

I already told in the dev thread that the test 200 Rom is a leaked Android 4.0.4 for the Galaxy Nexus from Verizon wireless.....
The test Rom is only for the testers....not to be used by other users......Read the thread before complaining......
The normal builds are updated only when you see new commits on my github page......
If no one is interested in the test builds......I will discontinue it......I don't want the creamed glacier to be a culprit.....

Yeah..where is this information? It sure wasn't in your posts since advertising the 4.0.4 in the dev section..nor the op, nor the site that the download link was on.
I would love to see you point me to the pertinent posts that explains:
1 the test roms are ported from Samsung verizon device and will have leftover processes
2 the test roms are exclusively for testers
Excuse me, I've been running a cm9 ALPHA build for a week i just assumed other roms claiming to be in beta would have been much more put together, and in the even that they weren't the bugs would be explicitly listed. I read:
Bugs: camera, bt audio and "miscellaneous bugs"
A fountain of detailed information...man, i hope when i developing to have more patience. I wasted 5 hours trying to solve a problem i wouldn't have had if the bugs i was troubleshooting were more clearly started. I wasted my time, not yours. Yet you are the one upset. Funny how that works.
Edit; i actually spent more like 7 hours on it from the posts here, Google was used extensively with no results, the first response i got to this thread said they had used a test builds and did not experience this..yet i am the one in the wrong..sure would have taken less time to read that big list than to reverse engineer it and like i said, i thought it was something i did at first. If the bugs had been turned up by a cursory examination of your op or even a Google search then i would have gotten alt more constructive things done last night.

DIRTY FLASHING WILL NOT BE ALLOWED. YOUR MOM SHOULD OF TAUGHT YOU HOW TO WIPE
This ROM is bare bone striped down the apps and replaced with lighter counter parts.
The only addition I included is minimum Gapps some choice addons and Rom ToolBox to OC, change I/O schedulars
and other adjustments you would like to make. (Recomended Memory Manager Preset setting= Strict)
Check apply on boot then apply settings. Perfomance settings still need to be worked out within the ROM for I/O settings.
Also for Task Killing without a app go to system settings/Developer options (Turn on first)
then select "Background process limit" to (No background processes or Limit to 1)
Whats included

Its not just the boot loader that is needed it is the expanded system partition that is also. Your best bet is to NVFlash the package in the OP. Not only will it set your device into the 1.2bl but it will expand your system partition so it can load the updated firmware.

So who's tried this out and how did it work?

No issues here. It worked perfectly the first time. I had already nvflashed the linked file, so I re-formatted the internal sdcard per the instructions then flashed the ROM.
nobe1976, you are a magician. THANK YOU.
My tablet performs very well now, with an occasional hiccup. It sometimes becomes unresponsive temporarily when I'm doing a lot. For example, from the Play Store, I had about 5 apps queued up to download/install. While that was going, it would go unresponsive for sometimes 10-15 seconds.

Use root explorer or similar app and change the lcd density in /system/build.prop from 160 to 120 and reboot.

To resize just open ES Explorer and give it Root permmisions and change in the build.prop the ro.sf.lcd_density=160 to 120 then reboot. No need to add Root Explore when ES will do everything and more without adds.
Updated OP with a 120 density version.

Are you absolutely certain that you are on BL 1.2 with a system partition of 250m. I would like to try to get everyone on board with this let me know and I will see what I can do to assist.

Reboot it will only get better.

All I can say is WOW! Fantastic ROM. The only hiccup I had was that I got an "unable to reach server" error in Google Play. I did the old market fix from the froyo days and that did the trick. Thanks much.

I keep getting stuck on the 3 birds loop. the 3 birds appear, then the screen goes blank for a couple of seconds and then the birds reappear. this happens a couple of times then it gets stuck on the birds.
i had the same issue on all ICS roms as well. Flashback HC rom works flawless every time so i have to revert back to it.
Please suggest a solution. i'd love to try out JB on my tab.

Give me the day and I will pm you with something to try out that has gotten me out of a jam a time or two. Have work today and won't have any computer time till later this afternoon.

Possible Bug Report: On my tab, the sound will not switch to my BT headphones. They paired correctly, and I have performed multiple iterations of rebooting, switching BT on/off, etc...no success thus far.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Otherwise, this is a thing of beauty.

If this is based on the Team DRH Dirty Bean - it doesn't work there either. Last time I saw this issue was when the "phone" apps were not installed as part of the selected apps on ICS - it pairs but no BT audio.
