I ask because I saw 2 other threads of people trying it (Will try to find them) but wanted to make sure they had CWM before they really put things to work with the custom ROM.
More than anything, wanted this to be a discussion thread for system tweaks etc now that the tMo version is available, it won't be long for others to follow.
I believe koush posted a vid on youtube of cwm running on the tab.

Clockworks only works on bone stock tmobile tabs which is unfortunate for me since i need the euro firmware to make calls. I probably would flash a new kernel if tho. Waiting to see if anyone is brave enough to do it.

I'm using it on a tmo tab with JMA and Koush's kernel fixes the bluetooth mic bug for me.
If it's anything like the phones, flashing kernels shouldn't be an issue. If it messes up you can always go back via nandroid. If we can cook up some kernels that promote underclocking/undervolting we could start looking at better battery life for our devices.
From my experience with the phone area flashing radios is where the bricking occurs because of the bootloaders. Never flash the same radio twice. Also you should never flash just for the hell of it because of the riskyness of it.
I think now that we have nandroid cooking up roms should easy.

What's the bluetooth mic bug? (Searched on this term, and it only returned this thread!).
Regards,
Dave
i think its an issue with the NA tabs that prohibit the use of bluetooth microphone. maybe just another level of security to prevent convenient use of the phone
The N1 has a similar CPU and generally only gets to around 1.15Ghz, a _few_ will manage 1.2 in a stable fashion. I wouldn't expect the tab to get much beyond that.
I'm actually more interested in being able to UNDERclock the CPU, doing so on my N1 improves the battery life significantly.
The addition of the On-Demand governer would be beneficial as currently the SGT is stuck on the Conservative governer. I believe with the N1 kernel this is a compile-time option so with any luck it's as simple on the SGT.
Im pretty sure 1.4 will be possible but maybe not completely stable. I know some have gotten 1.3 stable on the galaxy s phones so it should be feasible.

Ferk, I made 15 test calls to a voicemail fine, then go to call a friend and no mic! And the camera doesnt work oh well, I'm too damn optimistic.

Actually, the mic works fine on a cellular call. Its the VOIP calls from SipDroid, CSipSimple or Skype that has the microphone problem.

Well, in Skypes case it simply doesn't support Bluetooth on the Android client.

im on sprint cdma, but i used some common sense to get free incoming/outgoing but of course so far ONLY voip thru csipsimple and sipdroid...im still testing them both(i prefer csipsimple ui) but it works very reliably...i test using my evo & my fiances hero to call my tab.only sipdroid lets me use my bt headset i use for media though. to get this to work you just need mobile data and/or wifi. i presume the bug is only related to gsm models.
bump....bump...bump it up!
I recently ran across the NetTalk app in the market. It seems like it could be a useful app (especially with our BT capabilities), but every time I attempt to make a call, the app force closes on me. It actually compleats the call to my cell, and then immediate FC.
Has anyone else been able to successfully use this app? Or is there something I could try to get the app not to FC?
I'm running CM7 nightly 39 with Dalingrin's OC kernal.
Thanks in advance and thank you to the CyanogenMod Encore Dev team.
Bump.
So, has anyone had any luck??
the nook does not currently support voice/mic so the app is useless at the moment

i tried this out and it does indeed make a call! It seems like this could become very useful to us. It works now on the motorola xoom according to droid-life.com so perhaps it might work with the nook on honeycomb once AOSP is out? we can always hope! but it does seem to be rather important to get calls working over wifi!
As I said currently no mic on the nook so regardless of the app working you can't talk
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
Not sure about the nook but I have been using this app on my win mo 6.5 , iphone and android and it works brilliant.
Sometimes it does have connectivity issues like all apps, but close and reopen and all is good. Hey a little bit of trouble is worth when it's completely free.
The fact that it actually made a call is what got me excited to begin with, but after some research and reading around the xda nook color forums, I realized that it didn't have mic/voice input drivers as animatechnica pointed out...
Do we know if/when that might be a possibility?
Can we not pair to a bt headset and make calls that way?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Although a by headset will pair, without a mic/voice input driver, it will only play audio out of it. Same with any other computer. If one of the awesome devs on here were able to create one, this little "tablet" of ours wouldn't be lacking much of anything...
I know they're a lot of people wondering like myself.. What do you guys think is the best video chat app currently out that works best for our phones... I use to love Tango but it stopped working for me and my Wife's Epic.. of course its been a few months since I used it.. But which do you think is the best? I figured I would ask before throwing another 10 apps on my phone for testing. Also what roms are you running with it?
Thanks

Let me break it down:
Here is a list of the video call apps that I know to be available. If i'm missing one, let me know. I'd love to try it out:
Tango (Android/iPoop) - I'm going to assume this is the most popular. Video quality seems to be pretty good. I do have some occasional feedback issues with audio, but that comes and goes. The latest version of Tango FC'd everytime I opened it, but luckily for me, I had the version right before the update backed up, so I'm still in business.
Fring (Android/iPoop) - This was the first app I used for video calls. It did the job. I haven't used it in a while, and I know they've improved on it. I switched to Tango because everyone I knew was using it.
Qik (Android/iPoop) - I've never used Qik. At first it didn't support iPoop, and that was the only people I had to talk to via video call. Friends i've spoken with that use it don't seem to prefer it over any of the other solutions, so I haven't really had the urge to try it myself.
Yahoo Messenger (Android/iPoop/PC) - I've had mixed results with Yahoo. It seems to work pretty well for the most part, and is useful when chatting phone to PC as it's simple and alot of people already have a yahoo ID. The only issue I had with it was the video was always tilted sideways no matter which way I held my phone...
Google Talk (Android/PC) - I went down this road when I tried the leaked Gingerbread ROM. I had high hopes, but this was pretty much unuseable for me. I was able to connect, but video was too choppy at best. I'm positive this will improve in the future, but as of today, I don't recommend it.
ooVoo (Android/iPoop/PC) - This is an interesting app. It allows conference calling, so you can actually carry on video calls simultaneously with more than one user. I used this shortly and tested it for a phone to PC call and it seemed to be pretty decent. I'd have to give it a little more time and testing, but my first impression was that it did the job pretty well.
Skype (Android/iPoop/PC) - I know this one is new. I think there's a thread if you want to try to get this to work on your phone. Haven't tried it... can't really speak on it. I would check out the thread if you're interested. I'm sure there's feedback there.
As with everything on this community, YMMV. And keep in mind, all of my opinions are based on using the app with a wi-fi connection, so if you're going with 3g or 4g, you'll just have to test what's out there and see what gives you the best quality call. I hope this helps at least a little bit.
If nothing else, it'll at least give you some options to try.
I just used a modded skype for froyo over 4g and it worked beautifully except for the fact that I was sideways on my friends comp.
It was mad clear! He also said I was laggy a bit but I blame that on the 4g. I haven't tried wifi.
You can try it. When you go to the thread about skype 2.0 in the themes and app section, click the link that talks about the sgs2 or w/e and then there will be another link where the author says "TRY THIS ONE FOR FROYO"
That's the one ^_^

Well, Skype owns QIK so hopefully there will be some crossover pretty soon. Trouble is, even if it's the best program in the world it doesn't matter if your friends aren't using it. Skype is the one everyone else in the PC world seems to use, so now that it'll work on android, that's the one for me.

That was my exact outlook and why I went with skype lol
Before that I used tango which was excellent...but not everyone knew of it...but it was always fun to see the random people in my contact list who had it lol

I've been using Skype and even 3G, which all I have, was way better than QIK, Tango, or anything else that I have tried
Ever since I own the Vibrant, I never managed to record a conversation.
I have been through a lot of ROMs, like Bionix 1.3.1, Simply Honey, Cyanogen, MIUI. Project V and many others.
A few of these ROMs had a recording button built in the dialer app, which never worked (when playing the recording I hear only some static noise).
I have tried all call recording apps from the market, including some paid ones, and I never could actually record a conversation.
Always this static noise.
Is it anything related to the hardware? my Vibrant was produced in July 2010. Actually bought it on March 2011 on eBay but probably it was some old stock.
I know about the law that doesn't allow to record a call, but in my country this law doesn't apply, and when calling a service provider like my ISP I always have to record the call otherwise I can't prove anything if they promise something and then say it never happened.
Any ideas how to record a conversation?
Apparently only vibrants built after a certain date have the proper hardware setup. My first vibrant, bought August of last year wouldn't allow recording. My new vibrant which I got in March does allow. This was using the exact same rom.
In addition the feature only works on froyo. I haven't seen it working on GB.

I bought my vibrant in July last year. I was able to record conversation using a recording app I paid $7 when I was on froyo, and when I used Simply Honey froyo. Since I upgrade to Gingerbread, nothing work.

You can use Google voice to record calls just push the number 4 during a call via google voice. It will show up as a voicemail.

All right, I thought I knew every feature of gv.. I tried to do the research. How did you find this one out, I would have used this soo many times..
See the change log!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googlevoice
yeah works great
Yep, side loaded Google Voice was recognized by the Market and updated... Finally!
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
Yes indeed! This is just one more step towards uniting the phone and tablet as one. AKA: Ice Cream Sammich!
I had to uninstall my sideloaded version and download the market version to get the most recent version. I wonder why they didn't use the frames available in honeycomb like they do for gmail.

even though i have the acer iconia i will chime in.
this app is a 100% complete waste of time and effort.
you cant make calls, cant check voicemails... cant do anyhting but text and chat...
seriously wtf....
just use google talk and dont waste your friends and family limited texts.
seriously... wtf good is this app... none... if i cant make VOIP calls with my GV account then there is 100% no reason.
its the same reason why i never used GV on my phone... what the f** seriously...
it servs no purpose other than to make voip calls.
hide my real phone number?
jesus if you are that paranoid then maybe you shouldnt have a cell phone to begin with.
You can check voicemails, get your facts straight bro. Sometimes people will call/text my GV number, so if I'm in a spot with no reception and my Zoom is on wifi, I can get the message at least and call back from a land line if it's necessary. I don't need to call from my Xoom, not why I bought it. It's free, and if it wasn't I would only use it on my DInc.
If you don't like it, cool. I'm still going to use it though.
