anyone know an easy (noob friendly) way for me to upgrade my software on my original galaxy tab? it is slow and boring =)
why not search for a post that is related to your query.
that might help.
i tried
didn't really see anything
plus i am looking for suggestions =)
maybe if you told us which tab you have, we could make some recommendations...

There's actually quite a large range of Tabs, both GSM and CDMA for carrier-specific models (like Springs SCH models) and country specific variations like the P1000 T/L/N/R etc.
Also, you might want to try and search again to find what you're looking for since there are bounds to be instructions (like those included with releases of the Overcome ROM for example). Remember also, that the best method would be to simply connect your device to your PC running Samsung Kies and check for an official release before you get too far.
In future, try and be VERY specific about what you have, what you're looking to a achieve (custom ROM/stock upgrade) and what you have to deal with: things like what device you have, what computer you're using etc. This will make it a lot easier for the community to help you out.

there are at least three-four distinct models of the Gtab, CDMA, Wifi, GSM and Tmo US GSM. Since you have the latter, I'd recommend the Overcome Kratos rom, at this point. But there are other choices.

Afternoon all,
Finally jumped shipped from an iphone to an Android phone and am happy with my galaxy s but need some advise please.
Still trying to get to grips with this new OS and was hoping if you kind people can point me in the right direction as to what settings/what apps I should use to get the best out of my phone
Is there some sort of newbie guide out there that advises the things us new galaxy owners should install/configure to get the best of this amazing phone?
Cheers all

thanks for the links mate, much appreciated
don't flash anything until you have played enough withthe stock ROM and get a feel for what you would like to change
there is no point in changing ROM just because some one tells you to

That's what he asks for. jm8 (the mooded version is just fine)+voodoo is the best you can currently get by so far. stock rom bugs are aweful. Especially lag. Horrible.
you do know the "lag fixes" are the cause of people posting problems with their Internal SD messed up and corrupted?
also people posting about semi-bricked phone unbootable past the boot screen logo?
^^ you're right!

Please do keep in mind that such things to most end users who don't want to get their hands dirty or potentially lose their warranty, are trivial. Not everyone wants to experiment with what's not official. Further more, stating that something is the "best" is pretty baseless. Most users will trust the vendor first. To them, that would be the best! Not to mention that better things keep coming along the way anyway, so it's just best to wait IMHO....

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.
Hello All,
I have few questions to 70it2 owners:
- How does it charge ? Through specific charger or usb port ?
- How is screen ?
- Did you try to root it ?
If you successfully rooted it, I'd be interested in a dd of mmc to check if I can get the aos keys. It's completely safe for your device, and it would help me for the future...
Thanks,
LeTama
Archos 70BIT2
- How does it charge ? Through specific charger or usb port ?
the charge is great, had no problem with it. It comes with 3 adapters from 3 countries:US, HongKong and Europe. Also with a USB cable and
- How is screen ?
screen is 7 inch and it picks up fast but regardless of the cpu usage but try not to use more than one app at the same time
- Did you try to root it ?
still looking but no one has not posted intructions to root it because this device just came out recently. I hope to root it ASAP because i have only have less than 15 days to return this. Thats all
Hi,
Thanks for the replies! Questions were a bit obsolete as I purchased a froyo it2 one (and killed it, but that's another story).

I rooted froyo it2, but don't try what's there on yours, it won't work. Root is a bit different on this tablet, but I can't do it without having it, too dangerous. Sorry!
Shame they won't release ICS for it...

Is it really that much different from the G9?
Yes, it's completely different, soc is previous generation, omap3, single core and slower graphics.
But I don't buy the argument that it would be too slow, we see it running quite smooth on slower platform. And it's supposed to be more efficient than Honeycomb after all.

If you have a froyo version try the SDE menu enabler make by Letama works like a charm (thanks again to you ).

I wonder for how much you bought it. If you bought it at carphonewarehouse, listed as 70IT and sold for 99 pounds, I think you shouldn't complain...
i have bought it 110euros but i had 100euros of reduction from the firm where i work.
210e real for an error of marketing like my tab. It's just the reality, then i can complain lol
and i don't think that this tab will receive a good support from archos.
It was annonced an archos it first generation like you.

So.... today i dropped my phone (htc desire HD) and smashed the screen
and it really annoyed me for such a stupid mistake so i decided to cheer myself up and get another t mobile line out.
worst thing is my contract runs out in august so i only had a few months to wait.
but anyway.... i took the 2nd line and choose the galaxy note.
few questions.....
what will this start on? will it be 4.0.4 or will it be 3.2 something or other?
if its the 3.2 how hard is it for me to get straight onto 4.0.4?
will i need to root it?
I'm based in london, UK for anyone that might need to know.
note don't run on 3.x, most likely you will get a 2.3 phone. 4.03 was released few days ago in germany.
enjoy the wiki while you are waiting for the phone.

cheers mate, so i'll be stuck on 2.3 for now? any idea as to when the 4.0 will be available for me?
or would it be easier to root? only reason i'd root is for the 4.0 though so not sure its worth doing.
i cant believe im more angry with myself that i dropped my htc desire hd than i am happy that im getting the note.
im gonna have to just pay the remaining months line rental for a phone that will be stuck in the bedroom draw

note is great but i would recommend u to go for S3! Note is just a multimedia master, all time champ, throw any thing and it will F*** that in less than u can blink ur eye but S3 is also a good phone..... lols
any ways on the serious i would recommend u to go to S3 cause it is better in terms of software than Note. samsung is not giving a **** about Software of Note. only one official rom and that also full of bricky ****.... Go for S3! it has more bright future!

reason i went for note was....
I have a phone and a tablet, when im out i use my phone (htc desire HD)
indoors i use my tablet, so i thought i'd get something that can do what my tablet does, thats why i chose the note.
I do like the look of the s3, BUT... i want a bigger screen and the note is perfect for what im after.
all i want now is a link to where i can get this 4.0 from? as once the note arrives to me on tuesday, i really dont want the 2.3 crap that comes on it.
So can anyone guide me to the right thread/place ect, so i can update my new galaxy note to 4.0 ???

Nope, running CyanogenMod9 with no problems at all! Gotta be careful though, be sure to read the warning sticky before doing any flashing. It is a bit of reading, but it can very well prevent you from hardbricking/superbricking your shiny new Note.

You can, but the official ICS update contains an unsafe kernel that has already claimed Notes (don't know the details, but it's related to doing stuff in recovery). I wouldn't recommend official ICS if you plan on rooting/flashing.

I've got the verizon 2014 tablet, and about half a year ago I spent something like a month solid trying to root, to no avail. Would this rom flash over ODIN? I'm extremely tempted, but I would really like to not kill my tablet, as I use it for school constantly.

Pretty much, the P605(v) versions have completely different internals (Qualcomm) to the P600 (Exynos), it'd be like flashing a ROM for an HTC device on an LG device (substitute any two different devices you like)
