ROMs for a N00b? - Galaxy Tab General

My wife has a VZW GTab 7, and I'd love to get something more stock Android on it; preferably Gingerbread (for the increased functionality). However, she's not a power user so I'd prefer something as bullet-proof as possible. I'd even be willing to keep it FroYo if stability on GB is an issue.
What would you guys think, from your experience, is the smoothest, fastest, most trouble free ROM?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a GSM ROM? Is there a way to get that to work on the VZW Tab?

You are correct. Do not flash GSM stuff on your CDMA device.
Right now there are a few GB options that oldmacnut has been working on, but if you wait just a little longer (a few days probably) he should have CM7 up for public consumption and it could change the answer to your question.

I wouldn't count on oldmacnut releasing anything. He was caught red handed stealing credit for somebody eles releases (ie he rezipped somebody work and renamed it), after he was caught and his threads locked he acted like a little girl, threw a hissy fit and then deleted all his links.

Nevertheless his "leaked" GB rom for the Verizon Gtab is what I would recommend right now. Definitely better than running stock Froyo.

You could looking at Sprint Lover's Rom. The dev likes to keep it pretty stock.

Wow I think some people have a serious misunderstanding about what "bare bones" means.
i think there's a version of the base that is used for mikfroyo. basically all sprint stock except the files have been trimmed to not include other language options or something
OP- you need to clarify if you mean "closest to a stock evo rom" or "closest to aosp android" or something else. You can find an RUU (rom update utility) by searching in the dev section if you want a stock evo. You should also be able to find a flashable zip instead of the ruu. If you want base android, check out some of the aosp roms, but keep in mind it won't have any sprint crap, including 4g (except cm7 nightly roms). If you want a stock evo (with sense) but without uninstallable bloatware (sprint tv, nascar, friendstream, etc) check out maybe sprint lovers, which should let you uninstall that stuff.
I would check out Aamikam's base rom. He trimmed out a lot of stuff but it still has all the apps. If you want a near sense less, minimal rom, look for neoevo (or evoneo) which is based on Aamikam's rom but without all the bloatware and not so much evening.
^^^
theming
i kind of take it "bear bones" means all the phone needs to run... nothing more. (The op didn't really explain to well what they wanted )
If that is a correct assumption, there really is no rom out there like that.
Lol wow.... you really donated to me? xD i got the email when i wasn't on here and was a little confused
I don't know if he made a rom but I know JoeyKrim is into that very stripped down thing.
Isn't there a wiki with details of the different roms and what was the goals from the dev who kanged them together?
Give Frost Rom a shot, easily the fastest rim because of how stripped it is, but you lose some of the sense functionality.
Kings unleashed Rom. Fast and bare. Plus after you flash Dalvik2cache mod you have 312 mbs free. That's very bare

[Q] Which ROM do I pick?

I haven't updated my ROM in a while, mainly because I don't have the time to. I was running Baked Snack 1.9, but now I want to upgrade to Gingerbread.
There are tons of ROMS in the development forum, and I'm not sure which one to pick. I'm not really concerned with how a ROM looks, since I'm going to load LauncherPro on there anyway.
So, here are the requirements that I have:
- Running Gingerbread
- 4G, GPS, both cameras supported
- Good battery life
- HDMI mirroring
- No FPS limit
- Preferably can run CIFS Manager
Is there anything else that I should be looking for??
Thanks in advance!

we don't all have the time for that. i could easily spend hours researching and trying them out, which is all time that my phone is half functional, but there are higher priorities on my plate.

OFFICIALLY CM7 says it supports 4G.
However, my experience with CM7 WiMax has been shoddy at best. If you move from a 4G area to a non-4G area then back, most of the time the 4G breaks and you must reboot your phone to reconnect. Even if you stay in a 4G area, sometimes the 4G simply drops out, and you are stuck with both 4G and 3G icons on the screen, once again having to reboot to restore the 4G. There are some work-arounds, but it's definitely not stable, even in RC3. Don't even get me started on trying to wireless tether via 4G on CM7, even if you are lucky enough to get it to connect, you get about 2-3Mbits down whereas on Sense with Wireless Tether for Root Users you get 5-6 Mbits down.
Very annoying.
Anyway, I've given up on CM until the 4G issues are ironed out. I'm not paying an extra $10 a month for 4G if it's not stable enough to use.
My recommendation is to hop over to a MikFroyo ROM. It's as stable an fast as I've seen with everything working. You can apply themes and mods to get the Gingerbread look you want while you wait with the rest of us for the EVO to get official 2.3 support.
Good luck and hope this helped!

there are tons of reasons to root, as you probably know. i would like to use CIFS manager, tether, and use HDMI mirroring.
i was not aware that the stock rom now has unlocked FPS, but this was why i went to a non-stock rom in the first place. but now that i've gone to non-stock, i find that they are faster and have better battery life than stock.
Very tru they are way better with way more options. Idk wat the cifs is. But as far as tether goes there is pda-net for stock. But imho half the fun of rooting is trying all the roms from all the fabulous devs here on xda. It really doesn't take to long to see if a particular Rom is for u. Especially if u have TB. Then if a Rom isn't for u just nand restore to ur old Rom and in my experience its about 20 mins to try it and restore if its not for you. Plus everyone will have their own opinion about a Rom so in order for u to kno which one is for u u gotta try it

I gotta stick up for the OP here a little bit. He's asking for our help, and that's not a helpful comment to ask him "Why root?"
Not having to pay $30 to tether your EVO to a PC was reason enough for me. Or to overclock. Or to theme it to the max. There are many reasons to root.
This is a community for people who want to make the most of their phones. That is why we root.
Please don't come to XDA and ask "Hurr durr why did you root if you're not gonna blah, blah."
If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all, amirite?

Now I'm not trying to be rude. I see this same q on here all the time and ppl usually give their opinion about the Rom they like. Then proceed to say they need to try them to find the one they like. And op is saying he doesn't have time to do that. It's just odd to me that ppl go and root their phone then ask for others to tell them wat the best Rom is. And that's a subjective term. I agree that paying for tethering and all the other charges are bs but honestly if ur gonna root its cool to ask for ppls opinions about the "best" Rom but if u don't have time to try them y bother. So somebody says so and so Rom is the best then he trys it and hates it so y not just try them urself. Usually the op for the roms will tell u what works and not working

Fair enough, Mohawka. I was a little slow in my last post, and after I had posted I saw that right above me you had continued to bear with the OP and give him your advice anyway.
Sorry if I jumped the gun in assuming you were rude. As you can see, I've been lurking the forums for a few months, but today is my first time posting. I can understand if you get tired of "What's the best ROM?" threads, because you are right, the "best" ROM doesn't exist, only the best ROM for YOU.
Ya no worries. I lurked for a while too. Now I post rarely trying to help when I can but I'm just a guy loving all the devs great work. And if u want a custom Rom u should c which one u like. Nobody can tell u which Rom will b best for you. Unless u can't think/decide was best for you

Two roms you must try..
First is miui. It is amazing and I gurantee you will love it. Second is destroyer v2. Its based off of cm7 and excepy for some minor quirks, mosy of which have fixes, its a great rom.

Question: what kernel is this rom carrying? I'm back and forth from Froyo to GB because of two issues: BT calls breaking occasionally when I answer, and camera stability. Wondering if you're having issues with either.
And when I say camera stability, I mean being able to shoot 20 pictures and not have it freeze or have to pull the battery. Lol.

Just as a follow up...sorry for being abrupt there. It just frustrates the crap outta me seeing people in here asking questions that should be known before they ever rooted their phones. There's times when I think this rooting process has become waaaay too easy for people.

All right smart asses. Jcase pulled his ROM since he knew it was using an alpha radio that bricked phones. Using any gingerbread ROM with a connection to data (I.e. Using the alpha radio) gives you a chance to brick your phone. No one knows why this radio causes issues but it does.
Happy now?
I am not trying to defer people away from this ROM I am as happy as anyone else that we have another toy to play with but people need to now there is a serious risk that cannot be avoided by making sure you flash correctly or don't mess with the wrong thing. It just happens. Again Zarboz thank you for the ROM I just want people to have a heads up about the issues.
And just so everyone knows I am currently using this ROM and don't plan on jumping ship anytime soon.

Evo View Port?

Has anyone tried to port the evo view to the nc? I had the chance to play with one and I think it would port well as it is gb based and it is on a 7" tablet.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
No offence, but... why?
1) The nook is running a VERY well established version of GB, so we stand nothing to gain there
2) The hardware is so different, it is a huge undertaking to make it work (why do people mention the screen size as if it is important? The important thing is native resolution..); again, we have a good working GB.
3) The only thing you might possibly want to get is Sense, but that will be tightly integrated into the framework, again, making it difficult.
Really, there is almost nothing to be gained for the community with such an undertaking.. its not worth giving a second thought to.
No offence taken! Thanks for such a quick response. I should have been more exact in my initial post, but yes, the sense ui is what I am most intrigued about. The view that I used had a form of sense that seemed uniquely tailored to the tablet form factor. Also, I only mentioned the size because, as a tablet, at 7" it too does not have HC and all of the compatibility issues that come with it.
Thanks again for the response.

If any of you have seen the inFini Sense thread, then you know that this kind of stuff is really hard. The main problem: All parts of HTC Sense on the View look for a 3G/4G radio. Hmm... the Nook doesn't have that, right?
Edit: That said, it doesn't stop me from trying to port it.
Hello,
There are versions of both the view and flyer that don't have 3g/4g and only have wifi. The resoultion of both is 1024x600 on a 7" screen. The only problem I can see is the kernel and ramdisk, to have the rom boot. Correct me if I am wrong.

I had started to port the Wifi only Flyer ROM a few months back but got busy with school and work and never got around to it. I've got 2 weeks off between the summer semester and the fall semester, though, so with 40-50 hours of work and a wife that I want to spend time with, I probably won't get around to it, either. But of what I did get, there were some major kernel problems that needed to be worked on. Sense requires certain things in the kernel that I just didn't have time to figure out.
As a side note: The Tablet Sense rom is HUGE! Like MASSIVE. Like require 1GB of dedicated SD storage for it (before debloating it.)

Thanks for the tip. I'll strip open the Sense kernel.
im sure if any of you all were to get a Evo View or the Flyer ROM working on the NC then there would be a nice following. I mentioned it in other threads when people was talking about it and didn't get a very nice response. Ive been modding WinMo phones for a very long time but just have been getting into modifying a NC because i wanted a tablet but didn't want to spend all that money on one. Especially since once you start flashing ROM s they are very addictive. Also if a new tablet comes out i like to say i have that same setup on mine basically without unloading the bank acct.

Also, I only mentioned the size because, as a tablet, at 7" it too does not have HC and all of the compatibility issues that come with it.
Thanks again for the response.

I've got an HTC Evo and a Nook Color running CM7. You can get a similar feel to Sense by installing the ADW EX launcher and Fancy Widgets on your Nook. My Evo has 7 home screens, while my Nook has only 5, but it's still quite nice. And ADW has some attractiuve transition effects when you flip between home screens. Bumping the CPU to 1.2 Ghz helps, but it's usable even at stock speed.

Do any atrix roms that are out run vanilla android?

I'm looking for a rom that runs basically vanilla android? does anyone know of any that are completed? essentially, the slowness of blur it's what I'm trying to get rid of.

Is this your sneaky way of asking if cyanogenmod is completed yet?
I voided my warranty.
Not at all. I know there are a bunch of roms out there now, and didn't know much about them. So I was just wondering if any run vanilla android.

Nope. Cyanogen is closest we'll get. Atrix didn't come with stock and source was recently released.

well your best bet to learn about them... is to read about them. every ROM has a huge list of features and screenshots. do the homework and make your choice that way.
This thread I believe has all but one of the ROMs available for the Atrix listed in it if you scroll down, it's near the bottom, then you can go through each thread, look at screen shots, requirements to flash, etc. When I was trying to decide which ROM to flash first I used this thread as a guide, kept it open in one tab and opened the threads for each individual ROM in another tab.

I'd say flash Alien ROM along with the Alien theme. But, that's just my thinking. Good luck in your research.

Congratulations on an effective thread-crap.
OP: Alien seems pretty good to me. Snappier than stock, been stable for me... I am personally waiting for a touch more polish before putting CM7 on my daily driver.

I agree that Alien is a great ROM (I'm using it), but it's not a Vanilla ROM as the OP has asked for, and it's not as de-blurred as, say, Ninja or something. I dunno how usable Ninja is now, as Sam had to temporarily leave it for CM work...
@OP, you could surely flash the CM7 pre-beta, as it's quite stable. The only major thing that doesn't work as of now is the Camera, I believe...
