I just rooted my vzw tab and i was wondering what i have to do to put a recovery or such to install custom roms, and what is the fastest rom for the vzw tab.
Look for verizon tab bootstrapper in the market (paid), it worked for me. As far as roms in my tab I flashed the only kernel available for vrz tab. Got 1711 result in quadrant.

and this does what? sorry for the noob question but i have searched the threads and the dev section is way too out of whack to find ANYTHING useful. and I don't have money I'm poor. I saw the manual way to do what the market app does but the links provided are dead.
The kernel only makes the tab be more responsive, faster. Download quadrant from market and compare your results with mine. As far as recovery I paid for the app because it did not involved any instructions typing. The bootstrapper converts your system to ext4 and you need this to put new rom or kernel in the tab.

I'm still confused. I don't want to use the bootstrapper because a lot of people said that it bricked their tabs. what do I do to put on a recovery,flash roms, and create backups
Brick is a relative term. If the tab gets turned off and I don't know where the power button is and I can't get it back on, then relatively speaking it is a brick to me...sadly a lot of times there is a very simple way to get past a "brick" state, but then the person does something rash like flashing a random rom with repartition and now have made it much more difficult for themselves to dig out of the hole they are in.
There are a lot of people getting stuck at the samsung logo on reboot...there is good information out there to get past this, and by now it is an expected result, but that doesn't stop someone from freaking out and doing something they shouldn't.
Look for cruiserbax instruction post in the CwM thread...its right around page 49.

thanks for pointing me to that post. now I have CWM 3.0.0.0 installed. Now does anyone know of a great starter ROM that i can flash right from recovery that is real speedy? my quadrant scores are crap(1030) even on ext4.
Sirs,
How are you all doing? this is my very first post and I decided to ride dirty with the android OS finally (I'm late..) Originally coming from that dead Symbian OS environment.. I love customization and everything related to tinkering the phones hardware and software..
So now I am about to buy a used galaxy S I9000, I just want to know what are the things to look for this used android unit? I can see it's just slightly used so what will I look for aside from the outside appearance? How about in the software itself?
I only know that the phone is on GB 2.3.3 I think and it has like a custom way of killing apps, launching..really it's my first time on android and I need professional advises and this is the best site to ask from, I know.

How do you want to use your phone?
In my opinion, this device is a disappointment for normal,everyday basic use.
If you really want android ride on SGS, keep yourself ready for be here on xda regularly for help (you tasted it already)and hacks,be ready to root your phone and be ready to reboot your phone n number of times(sometime it does auto ) and be ready to get a mixed feeling,sometime it makes you happy and sometimes you would like to throw it away.
Its my opinion based on use, not intended for anything else.

Unless you're installing the latest beta ROMs or custom ROMs, this phone is actually very stable and reliable for day to day use. And the UI is fast and responsive enough on 2.3.3. In any case, in terms of reliability and speed, the SGS is miles ahead of any Symbian device.
Wtf???
Mate. He said he likes to customize.
I have nothing but good things to say about my phone. Gps is accurate and always has been. I knocked back an sgs2 upgrade to wait for next nexus.
Check pixels and speaker.
Check Gps accuracy in maps.
Usb connects and check for 3 button combo to recovery/download mode.
Good luck and enjoy.

Guys,
My use of phone dialer,messaging and call logs comes under basic use.
And dialer lags, contacts gives message 'no additional info available' and then shows number.no matter which rom you use.
Even dialer removed from memory.
I have 2 phones in house one running stock 2.3.3 and one 2.3.5 so I am not imagining anything.
Dont reboot phone for a week and see what happens.
If it was all that good, all the ram tweaks,kernel tweaks,optimization tweaks, wouldn't even exists.
If your expr. & opinion differs post it.

wow thanks! a lot of tips already! my appreciation to you guys,
well i want my phone for calls, sms, internet, productive apps,some graphically good games?, storage for photos(bought a 16GB microSD yesterday for this phone, excited am I?) videos-movies perhaps? some noobie photography (BTW I love that touch to focus feature!)
I guess I'm more into content, really LOL
Again thanks!
PS how to enter to download mode?
I'll try first dealing with the stock roms, is there any 2.3.7 GB for galaxy cause I see it everywhere along with the CM7? is that an official firmware or CM7 based on that OEM firmware? maybe when I want more, that's the time I'll do a CM7 flash..what about skype video calling or google talk? is it good in this phone?

Trollollololol - back under your bridge fellow.
"Do not feed the trolls"- epic quote
I will be using this phone for everyday use, k?
Another important thing to look for: if it enters Download Mode [Vol Down + Home + Power]
If not, it can be fixed, but it involves a little risk. This would be the only risky thing you'll do software wise, after your Download Mode works, it's very hard to brick the phone.

2.3.7 was a Nexus upgrade that added things like NFC, which most phones do not have the hardware to support this. CM7 uses Nexus source code. I don't believe anything helpful for you was added/changed.
And try not to believe the crap these people are spewing. My contacts, diallers, and whatever else that guy was rambling about are just fine. And obviously that is not a problem across all ROMs, considering most ROMs use different apps (for example, Samsung apps aren't run on AOSP ROMs—and I haven't seen this problem on either).
Good luck! It's an exciting phone.
wow, thanks to all of your advices dudes! what would be a good protector for this phone aside from the screen guards?
If anybody interested in testing the AOKP port to Gtablet, the link is below. It is the AOKP forum. I tested it and I am very satisfied with it. I tested all the ICS versions from different teams but this one is the most stable and functional. Very happy with it.

I just flashed build 37 to my Gtab, and it appears to be alot faster and more fluent, than TeamDRH's latest build, (Beta 1.2) which I've been running up until now.
I appreciate their hard work, but found the relatively frequent ROM-slowdowns, to be unbearable. But considering the "no help"-policy Nvidia and Viewsonic seems to have instigated regarding the Gtab, I really do find their work amazing and a crucial step on the way in the further development for the Gtab.
I do have a few questions, which you may or may not be able to answer, however:
1) How come, when I flash gapps, Youtube doesn't appear to be installed?
2) When I search for Youtube in the Play Store, it doesn't show up.
- I'm assuming that this has something to do with the way the ROM authenticates/identifies itself to the Play Store.
- On a sidenote, a few other apps also do not show up, even when searching specifically for them. (LBE Privacy Guard among others)
- I yanked a copy of the youtube.apk from my phone, and while it's not tablet optimized, it works without any apparent problems, so it's not because it doesn't work.
3) The USB-connection, only consists of MTP or Camera-options (like the TeamDRH-ROM) and I seem to be unable to get the Gtab to present itself as a Mass Storage Device, so I might access the internal memory.
(Only way of doing this is booting to Clockworkmod and mounting the internal memory as USB-share)
I appreciate and applaud your effort in bringing AOKP to the Gtablet.
I dont know the exact answers as I just put the link here, I have nothing to do with development. I found this link by mistake and I wanted to share it with people. If you want answers, put your questions directly on the forum rootzwiki .
BTW, I do it in the same way as you (according to problems).

WOW AOKP to the GTAB
Hello just a few days ago I posted a (Q) in that forum asking if it was possible at all to develop an AOKP rom on the Gtab, then yesterday I basically found out that there was a 4th ICS rom for our devices and it was a AOKP port lol It was just crazy how that happened.
I did wonder, however, why the developer of the rom did not post it here or sdroid. thank you to OP for posting this but i'd mch rather have the developer to ask questions to bout the rom, but I guess Ill just have to head over to rootzWiki.
Anyway, this is pretty awesome that someone made this happen. I dont have AOKP on any other devices but i knew of the rom, and its awesomeness. Its a sick rom and im pretty excites. I think it may run as good if not slightly better than the other 3 ics roms, I just hope they continue to make it better with each release because it has potential.
I recommend that ppl should go check it out.
Hmmmm... might have to check this out...
Thanks for posting it. I never would have known.

I believe that it does not matter on ics ROMs. What is important is that your system partition be enlarged to 250MB and the easiest way to do that is to use the nvflash. See my easy guide http://raywaldo.com/2011/01/nvflash-for-dummies/

It will need more actually. Full gapps + the face detection code that is installed will use up 262+ MB.

Team drh has posted a new nvflash that makes system partition 300mb. People who are having trouble should try it out.

yes, its out, but there is a problem with downloading from google player. so I wait for now...
Since this is based off the kernel of DRH ans their drivers, what's the difference between the two? Is this more stable/faster? What are the benefits to this ROM over DRH?
Hi,
First off, I hope this doesn't violate the guideline for threads on "WHATS THE BEST ROM EVER TELL ME NOW!!!11".
I got it only about three weeks ago and it's my first experience with Android.
I am currently running the latest stock on my N7, unlocked and rooted with the latest TWRP, obviously.
I went ahead and made a complete backup via TWRP and backed up all my apps with Titanium Backup.
I am pretty happy with the device so far, but I realized that there are a few features I would like to have, which require a custom ROM.
I have been looking at quite a few different ROMS like Paranoid Android, CM and SmoothROM, but I am still not sure which one best suits me needs, which are the following:
Specific Features:
- "Tablet" mode, DPI/UI change
- ability to change quick settings bar, allowing me to set "true" toggles and adding/removing stuff there
- ability to create a WiFi Hotspot/Access Point on my N7 (so I can share the Internet from my Nexus to other devices, e.g. my PC)
- ability to (automatically) adjust screen brightness/color temperature similar to f.lux on desktops
- (being able to use my Wiimote with the Nexus via Bluetooth, don't know if it's possible even with a custom ROM, as a lot of Bluetooth stuff seems to have become broken some time ago, but would be nice to have)
- option to change themes
General Features:
- fast(er), smooth(er) experience
- stability
- better battery life
I would like the ROM to be relatively user-friendly, without having to deal with manually editing system files or anything like that too much.
I don't really care about being able to overclock or anything.
Another thing I'm still not really sure about is a different kernel. If it makes a significant difference in terms of battery life and speed, I would also like a recommendation here what the most fitting one in combination with a certain custom ROM would be.
Also, I should be all set with having the full TWRP backup and app backup of TB in case anything goes wrong, right?
So, what would you recommend, based on my needs mentioned above, for my very first custom ROM?
Looking forward to your answers and finally getting a non-stock experience

I'm just saying that all the different ROMs and kernels are discussed there, so you will know what are the advantages and disadvantages of each, and more people would be able to guide you if you asked this question there.

Exactly this is what xda is about. You'll never get anything on a plate, you have to try new things yourself. I know this from experience, and trust me, it won't take as long as you might think and even if it will, it is a pleasure to do it (at least for me).

I am working on a theory for my sgh-i337m, but I am still pretty new to all android programming.
Here is my situation:
I am working on modifying a custom ROM that is meant for the I9505 S4, I got it working pretty much flawlessly aside from some of the major reprogramming things(renaming device model etc.)
what I need is to find the location of the Modem/Driver for LTE. so far i have up to 4G and wifi working.
my bad, I figured it out, this question i asked is pretty much pointless, i already found the files before i asked this, just didn't realise it

Renaming the device model is fairly simple, out just need to edit the build.prop, towards the top you'll see multiple references to model number and what not...just change it to yours....you can also just compare the two different build.props for a better understanding always nice to see new people trying to dev, look forward to your progress

Thanks! I am actually talking with one of the members of the rom I'm working on, basically if I can get everything to work, without any problems of crashing/random reboots/etc. They may do those edits and touch ups and release it as an official device for their rom.
