ROTO,MODACO,ETC....which one you prefer?
Trying to find stabil firmware for my brand new australian tab, can not make my mind yet...
Still looking stabil one and I don't want to upgrade my firmware every weeks for the new firmware add on.
Any advise??

Response for what it's worth
I'm not sure if I'm the one to advise you, but I have just flashed my Optus unlocked tab with Roto JMI v1. Being a noob, I must say that the instructions given worked a treat and the flash went perfectly.
Although it is early days, iot seems pretty good to me with an improvement in wifi which was fairly random previously, but I still have some testing to do on the GPS. Others on the developers forum seem to have no problem though.

For me I like the Modaco Roms and Kernal. His roms are great on my other android stuff as well.

You buy one you get one free I say you buy one you get one free.
Try um both see which one works for you, nothing ventured nothing gained.

Wifi seems to be solved for me with JMIv1.0. No dropouts. For the GPS you might try the FasterFix from this topic. That works great for me.
I prefer the Roto-roms above those of Modaco. The Roto's are most a kind of 'out of the box' roms, and can be used without doing some really tweaking like the Modaco's. But just try them both and compare the difference, feels and looks.

I have tried both and they are great compared to stock rom. Below is my conclusion(solely on my experince of flashing roms for 1 month now.
Roto
- easy to flash
- good speed
- clean wipe with minimal add ons so we are free to add what we want
Modoco
- flash can be difficult and need to poke around and do some mistakes first
- blazing speed, getting constant 1800+ in quadrant
- got everything working good in my asian gsm tab
- auto connect/disconnect between wifi and data which is good
- love the reboot option on power button

Thanks for the advice.
I have tried the GPS fix, but no luck, and I think the Wifi issue is much more to do with my router than Roto's great work. I think I'll try JMEv4 as I jumped straight to JMI.
I appreciate your help.

Well, I didn't go back to JME, I tried JMI v2 which has just been released by Rotohammer.
The short answer. for me, is that everything went smooth again, and is working well except for the GPS which just refuses to work.

Hi, can you tell howto do the EXT4 kernel step of Modoco ROM? I failed to flash the kernel all the way.
My current ROM is Roto JMI. Should I flash other ROM first?
Thanks.

MCR for me. I live the kitchen utility Paul provides. Plus, its a very stable rom.

When i did the ext4 conversion i had to be on jme to flash the modaco kernel. It would not work for me on jmi. Hope that helps

[Q] Can I Use Any ROM If I only Want Wifi?

I have a Verizon Tab and I dont care about being able to use it on Verizon. I am only using the wifi to connect to the internet.
Am I able to use any ROM seeing that I dont care about the internet working?

any ideas? i am interested in this as well

No, I see about 90 people have viewed this but there has been no answer.
I am not a Dev and lack a lot of skills needed to make a custom ROM.
Bit if I understand things right. All the Tabs are the same exept for the radio that is used to access the internet on a network.
But other than that all hardware is the same, so other ROMs should work just not allow you to use the internet.
I for one am using just using Wifi so I would like to be able to use some of the other ROMs.

Wow
There is still no real answering this?Up
I use my Evo and wife only for internet on my tab. It would be great if I could use any Rom out there .
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA Premium App

I was asking a developer this yesterday, he said if you take a Gsm rom and run it it will not run properly. As you are aware the radio will not work which you said is not a concern but other things will become an issue like your device being seen as a Cd drive. The frame work is totally different. If you are cool with Heidmall and have the stock Verizon image files go ahead and try it. doing major back ups of your current config. If its not working the worst thing is you will have to reapply the stock image and start over with your back ups.
CM7 for our tabs is in the works if you can wait it out a bit longer. Im not sure exactly what you expect to get from another rom??

Really I'm just looking for a little more speed and better battery life.
To me the Tab is still the best out there due to size and form factor.
But playing Anger Birds with wifi on seems to make my tab a little slower and lag.

Do you have Verizon or Sprint GT?

I can tell you there are differences. I tried to get the sprint tab running CwM using the verizon bootstrap method and my tab is borked. Completely unresponsive except for the BSOD the phone ! pc graphic. I am pretty sure I could fix with odin but I dont have a pc. I am on vacation with my macbook pro and I think I am really gonna be screwed when the battery dies.... Anyone have a solution to this?

I have nothing to support this, but I have "survived" the "phone ! pc" and I *suspect* that the "phone ! pc" has to do with low battery (or some minimal power needed, even for download mode.)
In my experience, I *had* a fully charged tab when I've seen this, so it may be some misreading, somehow. I've forced myself to take a deep breath, plug into a wall charger and walk away for ~hour. After this, I can get it to Download Mode, and reflash with stock image. Scary and random, but I think it's meant as a symbol/message to have the device *fully* charged for attempting flashing, etc.
Again, this is theory only, but I've seen that screen 2x on both a sprint & verizon tab, and patience has won the day. Good luck.

[Rom 4.0.1] NOV 27 GALNET MiUI ice cream sandwich 2.11.26 UPDATED {MOST BUGS FIXED}

This is basicly the same as miui, but based on ics framework, which make it faster and better.
I wanted to bring you this good news XD
From Galnet:
Galnet MIUI ICS is our experimental builds for the Ice Cream Sandwich framework being introduced into MIUI. These builds don’t look any different, however they do come with some of the ICS benefits such as power management and ram management.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Changelog for 2.11.26 :
Network Modifications:
•Corrected Signal Strength Readings in Status
•Improved network power consumption
Framework Modifications:
•Implemented ICS sensor management
•Improved power consumption whilst sleeping
•Correctly implemented debugging settings via ADB
•Fixed issues with Tethering cutting out mid way through large transfers
•HW Acceleration Included (Browser, Video, Games etc)
•Android Market (Scroll via images leading to FC fixed)
•Improvement in Galnet Video Player playback
UI Improvements
•Implemented Extended Settings
•Implemented 4 Way Reboot
•Added ICS lockscreen to default theme
•Added ICS transaction effects
•Improved Sharpness and Display quality on I9000 and I9100 builds
•Added ICS Keyboard with Vibration Settings
OTHER INFORMATION
•The battery calibration will kick in straight away once flashing this rom, therefore you will find that the battery drains quicker than before. Please allow it to drain to around 5% before recharging fully back to 100% for the perfect calibration.
•Updater may FC on first boot, don’t worry about it, as it will work correctly once this occurs.
•Phone call recording (This is something that we won’t support due to legal issues within the UK, please don’t expect it).
Credit to galnet and all who participated

I flashed this yesterday, pretty stable and everything seems to work. There are a few things people should be aware of.
1. There is no voice control
2. If you synch your FB contacts you need to go into the FB app and tell it to synch
3. The battery life is so so
4. Make sure that you do a factory restset, clear cache partition, and clear dalvik before flashing.
Other than those things, this is a really nice ROM, very slick, very fast, and seems to be stable.

Honestly Im not sure what Kernel he's using but this is the info
2.6.35.12-gdf10700
[email protected] #1
Don't know if that helps any, I was wondering myself if there are any other compatible Kernels that may help with battery life

Say I was on (rooted, custom rom Paragon 6) 2.2, I could just stick it on the card and flash over or must I flash a cm7 kernel and then flash rom over that?

Awesome! you rock solid.

BTW I know someone asked but I believe you need to be on GB bootloaders in order to flash this ROM, so if you have 2.2 or below find the instructions for getting the GB bootloaders before flashing this ROM or you just might brick.

Soft brick. Flashing back to stock works after bricking into Galnet MIUI.
Also, OP, do you have anything to do with the Galnet project, or just providing a link?

I'm pretty shocked how smooth this Rom is. I do really like the look and feel to everything. Will report more later once I get to play with it
EDIT: Flashed from Illuminance 2.1 with no problems so far

Screenshots?
Can I have some screenshots please? I would to see how it is before I flash it. Thanks!

CLOSED TEST - (no longer Looking) for Beta Testers with ICS Experience - BETA CLOSED!

I am closing the beta for the time being, have a handful of testers atm. It may open up again, stay tuned.
You know the name of the game. Experienced ICS users only please.
I have been putting together a frankenstein type ICS build, blending some tweaks with:
-Beta 2.5.1 i9000
-Beta2 by goodoane
-ICS_4.0.1_r1-Beta2-i9000.zip by onecosmic
-Recommended using the FuguMod_Vibrant_Kernel_BETA2.zip from here: http://code.google.com/p/ice-cream-...mmary+Uploaded+ReleaseDate+Size+DownloadCount (the kernel is included in the zip)
-Also recommend the KB5 modem, from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19795419&postcount=130 (this is also included in the zip, but its not flashing with the rom as of right now)
This has some framework, build.pop, and ui tweaks applied, but I've pulled back on the theming to direct my attentions to functionality.
-Keymapping is corrected
-Can mount via MTP mode
-Moutning works in recovery
-ADB and Shell both work
-SU out of the box
-Lockscreen rotates and screen rotates 360 degrees
Not working:
Must toggle mute (on then off) in order to be heard by incoming callers
GPS
Video Recording
Video Playback (buggy)
You tell me what else to add here.
Installation: (coming from another ICS build, or CM7 only!!)
-Reboot to recovery, perform a factory reset
-Go to mounts and storage and format system
-Flash the Beta2 Kernel (FuguMod_Vibrant_Kernel_BETA2.zip)
-Flash the rom
-Flash your modem (no longer need to reflash the kernel)
-Fix permissions
-Reboot the phone
New Info
As you guys have read, I have been running the data data tweak from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20017090&postcount=1756 and it seems to have made things a lot more stable. No odd application issues going on anymore, although there is a bit more lag, but I think I have found a temp fix for that.
Since Friday night I have been running AutoKill Memory Optimizer, free version from the market. Its not a task killer really, but it maintains the amount of free system memory on your device, from what I understand. I am using Aggressive settings, with the Advanced settings for Memory and Battery enabled, and my phone is flying!
If you guys want, give that a shot, and let me know your results.
*******************************
So, who wants to test?
First, you promise not to release this or share it with anyone, by signing up you agree to this one term.
You should have experience with ICS, and know how to flash it and recover from a bad flash.
If you've never flashed ICS before, you definitely want to start there.
I am looking to possibly release this to the wild by the end of the week, so active testers are a big plus!
When I feel like I have enough testerss I will post that on the top of this post, just ask in here, and I will pm you a link.

I'll test, running ICS now.. I know how to do a little above basic stuff.

can you fix the problem with (i guess all ICS) people not hearing me right?
sometimes they hear me ok, sometimes too loud, or not at all.
i''ve tried to hold and resume but it doesn't fix the issue every time.
this should be a top priority for any rom.
i returned to your zen froyo. it is nice and battery holds 4-5 days for me.

Toggling mute fixes it for me every time. I do plan on looking into that, but I'm not there quite yet.

Ok, I'll Bite. Have experience with everything you stated above. Am currently using the Passion V5 Beta and a lot to like but still a work in progress. Let me know if I can help.

What rom were you coming from? This should run with both bootloaders, but I'm on the stock bootloaders, so that might be it. Also, you should be coming from either CM7 or another ICS rom.
Maybe try redownloading the file and reflashing.

New Softbank Rom: 369

Totally out of left field: dell released a new rom for softbank.
The changelog does not seem to state much.
Android 2.2.2
Build date: Jul 10, 2012
Build: 29579
Dell Stage 1.6
The rom is completely identical to 366 except for the following files:
<root>\boot.img
<root>\amss.mbn
<root>\dbl.mbn
<root>\dsp1.mbn
<root>\osbl.mbn
<root>\system\build.prop
<root>\system\app\quickoffice.apk
Out of all those, only boot.img seems to have changed more then just being resigned/trivial changes.
Dell normally holds a rom for 1 month to test before releasing, but the normal release date for a rom built in july would be mid/late august.
So for whatever reasons: they held it back for a month.
It also only includes a trivial amount of changes, so it's not much more then going though the motions of a release

I received the update SMS today and came here to check. Figured you would have some additional info on this.
Still Froyo? I guess I'm never getting a phone from Softbank again.

Blame Dell/Qisda's dell team/Softbank
The SPro's still on GB too.
The Lenovo LePad S2005 (ie the "Opus one") got ICS back in April.
I dont even know why they released 369, I cant tell if it even changed anything as far as softbank's changelog is concerned.

maybe the user or the dev is old school type .. and pretty much on comfort zone...

Official roms arnt custom roms, they cant simply release it and hope there's no serious issues. They have to have staff on hand to test for 3 weeks before releasing.
Even if they only changed like a dozen lines of code at best for it.

Well I took the plunge and generally I am pleased with the results. Wifi seems much more stable and most things work, although mms does not seem to be working at the moment. Also softbank does not come with a sms app pre-installed, instead they use their own combined messaging app which I have not tried yet. I installed an sms app from the market and it works ok, apart from mms

The MMS issue I was having was me being an idiot - I had run out of credit I have never used Wifi Hotspot. There is an app that comes rolled into this rom which seems to be for tethering but i have not used it. The WiFi in general is excellent and seem way more stable that any other ROM I've used to date (and I've used quite a few). I think it may be easier to look up a 3rd party (barnacle I think) tool to get the tethering working - but I know very little about this.

I've been using it for a while and generally all is good. It seems better on battery than the 360 rom, the WiFi seems more stable, though I do get the odd issue with it not connecting but far less than any other rom I've used. I do not use tethering and I know that is not present, but there are apps in the market to do this anyway. SuperUser.zip also happily rooted it with no issues. It does seem to be quicker than other Froyo roms too - so overall I'd say it's worth an upgrade. Be aware that the native messaging app will not work on it for some reason, but Handsent or Go SMS are just fine and dandy - unless you run out of credit (see earlier post by me)
If I had to stick to a single rom this would be the one. I am tempted to go for DSC and I've been told by the author that it can be flashed over this rom - so I may report back when 1.6 is rolled out fully and I've installed it to give a comparison.
I hope this helps!

I've looked and haven't found any links for what I'm looking for which is just the amss and dsp1 files to flash in fastboot... anybody got those uploaded anywhere? I hate to flash the entire ROM just to extract those two, but if I have to then I just have to... thanks guys for any help
