Just got my galaxy tab 10.1, ive come from the ipad so have no idea where to start to hack my galaxy tab can someone point me in the right direction as to what tools which rom i need etc.
My friend, I know you are new to the forums, but please take your time and use the Search Tool to find what you need. It's very simple...
Anyway, you can find everything you need in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
There you will also find instructions and even Video Guides.
Cheers
PS: Remember to use the Search Tool and the Thanks button.
And if you're having problems, post in the thread in which you're using their software, or post in the Q & A section....someone will be along shortly to help you if you have problems.
Most importantly read read read.
I softbricked my Bionic 3 times the other day and spent the next 5 hours figuring out how to un brick it. Now I'm rooted/rommed and smiling.
Today I softbricked my Galaxy Tab twice... (Sprint/CMDA) but spent the next 3 hours reading reading reading and found the answers.
If you hit a snag, I can guarantee there is a fix already posted for your problem. You may not always find the right fix on the first try, but eventually you'll find it something that will work.
Don't forget
Backup your tablet with CWM or Titanium Backup. Also, look for the stock rom just in case you brick your device so you can go back and reload and try and start again. The first post in the developers section is an excellent resource when you start out trickin' your tab.
Quick question guys and thanx for all your help, which is the best rom? i rooted last night now im thinking in using a rom but not sure about overclocking one as i dont want to mess it up its quite expensive and dont want to burn it out.

It will depend on wich are your preferences, and of course, your Tablet Model
Personally I use Overcome 10.1 Series, version 2.2.0... (you can find it in the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development section)
This because it supports 3G and it also improved a lot the performance of my tablet.
If you want to overclock your device, I recommend you to use pershoot kernel. I overclocked mine and it worked fine, but I didn't see a huge difference, so I only overclock it when i play games.
Hi, no i dont want to overclock i have the GT-P7510 WIFI

I suggest you try not only just one Rom... since everyone has his own likes.
Try a few and then choose wich one you like more.
I agree with trying as many as you can. I'm wifi only and think u should flash galaxy task 10. It's based off 3.2 honeycomb and run adw launcher ex. Very smooth. Task11 that was just released has a few bugs still. Or you can try the cm9 kang.... its ICS but personally I don't feel it's stable enough for a daily driver.

Lat night i put overcome and seems ok so far not done much with it, is galaxy task 10 better? also if i wanted to change from overcome to galaxy task 10 do i just place the galaxy task 10 rom in my tab and install it over the old one using install and wipe data or do i need to erase everything first?

I prefer Gtask10 to Overcome.
Wipe data, cache, davlik, then flash whatever next Rom you want to try.
Never try flashing one Rom over another w/out wiping. You'll just be asking for trouble.
The gtask 13 slim is silky smooth you might give that a try.

I prefer overcome to galaxy task... there's just a lot of annoying little bugs that have been around since galaxy task 6.0.. though if you want quick updates.. task is the way to go
Overcome hasn't been updated since late november (not that it needs to be..)
I'm just waiting for CM9 and the ICS roms to follow now

I also just rooted my brand new GT-P7510 updated to 3.2 and installed galaxy task 10 and am very happy with it so far, but can someone tell me how to get the cool blue honeycomb type buttons and clock in the task bar? My user buttons are grey and the background in my settings pages are white, but in every video I see everyone with black backgrounds when they go to the settings pages and those cool blue HC buttons and clock in the task bar?

I go balls deep on the GalaxyTask rom. 13.1 is out and slimmed down. Flash the b00sted ICS theme after you allow the rom to boot fully and you will have one snappy device. Just remember to FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS IN THE OP. Seriously, it gets annoying reading his thread and seeing the same question over and over because no one read the instructions in his OP.
Just got the jelly bean update and looked online for a 11.1 flash apk,since it doesn't show up in the play store anymore...whatever
I installed it, and tried my many popular and favorite sites that use flash, tried with the stock browser and dolphin , all the sites say to please install flash player..
I know flash won't be supported in jb, but no one said not working .. trust me I see no major differences from ics to jb ,EXCEPT flash not working.

I am pretty sure that it won't work simply because they don't want it to. In the case of a lot of ICS stuff I have played with some are still supported and actively being developed, but they plain don't work for JB. Most go up well... But some won't.

Then why would anyone want jellybean ?? I played with it on the nexus 7 and now the Xoom, ICS was a huge improvement no doubt, but not jelly bean not even close.
So now I can't use flash , can't use amazon prime and tons of other sites .. really sad ,
Pathetic and a major mistake IMO
Just hope eos stays with keeping their ICS ROM up to date because it looks like I'm going to that

Sideloaded Flash works fine for me on all instances of JB (stock, EOS, CM10 experimental) for the following browsers:
Stock, Dolphin for Pad, Skyfire, Boat Browser.
Does not work with Dolphin HD any more since 8.6.0.
Flash works for me... You must be doing something wrong. Did you restart the browser after install or restart the xoom?

I use JB on my SGS3, not much difference from ICS
Still I would like to have JB on my tab, so I flashed a CM10 based ROM, if on one hand it was easier to have status bar on top, like the phone, I didnt like the large soft buttons, they use too much screen space
So I stay in ICS until there is a Samsung leak

Does JB force the 'desktop' to be portrait mode, or is that only a Nexus 7 'thing'?
I usually use my Tab in portrait anyway (it seems more natural with the ~7" form factor) but I'd prefer to have the desktop orient to whichever way I happened to be holding the tablet when I exit an application.

i second this, CM10 very buggy and not worth the hassle just to get a taste of JB, i have Google Now running on ICS so it will do for now.

If you change your DPI to 160 (the original value for the 7.7), CM10 goes back to Tablet mode (the default is 213 DPI, whih gives you the "phablet" mode introduced by the Nexus 7). I'm using it in this configuration for a long time now.
--------
[RANT]I don't understand people who use a forum called xda DEVELOPERS and have an anti-development attitude. "This has lots of bugs and will never work", "they will never fix it", "Samsung knows it best", etc. We have a single developer for CM9 and CM10, who has bricked his own device irrecoverably, then got a new one to keep developing. Will there be bugs? Of course. Just like Samsung's ICS has bugs. But the developers for CM actually do listen to users, and try to fix whatever issue you may have (which is more than I can say about Samsung, since they introduce new bugs, like our WiFi on ICS, or even add a bricking option to an unbrickable phone, like the Galaxy S2 from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4).
If you don't support the active development being made by our fine members, you may find other forums where you won't even see that option. And where your comments won't be offensive to people who are doing their best to make your device more usable.[/RANT]

I used CM on my SGS1 and SGS2 until we got ICS, wich is good enough not to need CM, any way, I dont think it is necessary to play with DPI and processor speed, never did it...
I've tried a handful of custom roms too. And I'd say KUDOS to all the Devs for their hardwork. But I'm still finding myself going back to stock ICS. Specially now that I've updated mine to the official ICS for my Tab's country/region.
With JB update, I'm still positive we'll be getting it.

The custom ROMs based on official releases have the advantage of eliminating bloatware, and the kernels of eliminating most debugging, I stay away of the ones that play with speed and density :good:

What wifi bug
This is mostly just me, after a whole 24 hours of being a Note 10.1 owner (woot, go me) being annoyed that its the 3G owners that have gotten all the update goodies!
Germany got theirs a month ago, UK got theirs today... but only the 8000 models.
In theory this would mean that the 8010/8013 models will get released in Germany first, and then in the UK a month after that...
I really really *really* hope that this is not the case though. For this would be... vexing.
Saying that, I'll probably end up rooting and putting the uk 8000 rom onto my tablet anyway, as I am an impatient soul. But it is the principle of the thing that counts!
I think the reason this whole thing bothered me is this poll I saw the other day - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871383
If the 3G model was the most popular, then prioritising that firmware would make sense. It seems as though the WiFi models are by far the most prolific though!
OR.... WiFi users are more likely to answer polls.
Keep wishing hard guys, maybe we will get an update soon. and then hopefully someone will finally do a non-8000 custom rom!!
I have just decided to enjoy what I have for now. 8010 update before Christmas at some time will be fine with me. I dumped an iPad and a transformer 101 for my note and one for my other half. We are pleased.
Being a software developer I know the importance of good testing and would rather wait than have to put up with junk. Just my tuppence worth.

Only real noticeable drawback is that if you use a USB toggle to connect a wireless keyboard or mouse it will drop signal on the German OTA. Other than that and the OnDemand thing as mentioned earlier it works fine on the 8013.

I'm using "Team Union Rom" 8000 on my 8010 wifi without any problems what's so ever. All you have to do is use SetCPU which comes with the Rom to scaling: on-demand and check set on boot. No os issues, no random reboot all fine.

I'm pretty peev'd about this too. Can't believe that a non-3G device is getting the updates last of all. Surely theres no modem nor carrier testing to worry about so it should have actually been the first to be released?
I REALLY want to use the features of 4.1.1 and am refusing to utilise my Note properly until I get the official update.

DME for Enterprise (Work exchange emails) - That's because the administrator has set it to not allow ROOTED or Jailbroken devices. (I know its because I set it up lol!)
There is a work around but I care not to implement it as it still means turning a security feature off which is not worth it just for my sake!!.
Anyway - Anyone wanting to 'voice their concern' regarding no JB for 8010 users - please post on samsung page here:

I'm also a new owner of this tablet(closing in on 3 weeks). I have a Galaxy Nexus, so I know what it feels like to get updates fast. It's a little troublesome waiting for Samsung to update this device. I told myself that I wouldn't complain since Google probably takes around the same amount of time putting together updates, but they have the luxury of seeming fast by putting them out first. What I don't understand is why Samsung is releasing the JB update for the the 3G version first. This may be due to my ignorance, if so please excuse it, but I thought it would be easier to update the WiFi version especially considering they're pretty much done the development of it.
Just wondering if you all are going to flash CM when they make it or another AOSP?
I know it will come soon especially since the Nexus 5 will have similar specs as with the 9005

My first was the original galaxy i7500 but my cm experience was on the milestone 2 then g2x.
I really like cm when a device is no longer supported by their respective companies.
When I had the nexus 4, I used the latest cm 10.2 nightlies because to me the stock AOSP was lacking a few functions.
The note 3 has its own set of functions that I don't think we will ever see on CM.
However, would be very nice to have a dual booting system so I could flip flop between the two.

If the s4 has it, I am sure the note 3 900 will get it too.
One the biggest reasons for getting the 9005 was because I wanted to stick with a SOC that is easier for devs to work with.
Especially about a year from now when Sammy releases the note 5 and forgets about the note 3, we can at least update to the latest Android with CM

I kinda feel the same, I bought a few apps recently because it's not rooted. and these apps I'm happy to support because I use them on a daily baisis, like business calendar, poweramp, mx player etc. but I do find root useful for ntfs micro sdcard, especially when a file is bigger than 10GBs.
but what I really liked about a custom rom was editing minor things, having 8 icons along the screen horizontally. instead of what right now, 4? also all apps are HUGE dpi. I feel like when I load my mail. every mother fcker can read it from 5 metres away from me lol..
Ill Probably try it but wont stay with it. Lately on my s4 ive been preferring modded TW roms and will probably continue that with the N3

Not Cyano itself, but I'm waiting for an AOSP derivate, SlimBean.
I don't want to even see Samsung's bloatware ever again.
I'm done with rooting and adding ROMs. I've rooted just about every phone I've owned, and they've never ran 100%. Something always had an issue and not running properly. Today's phone are almost perfect anyway. The Note 3 is bad ass just the way it is! If I do anything to it, it's maybe using Themer to give it a fresh look, but that's it?

I have been pretty impressed with the performance of the GN3 even after rooting. I am also using the s-pen functionality a lot more than i anticipated. I doubt there is any need to go the CM route.
A little off point, but someone mentioned they hadnt rooted yet. I had gone a week without rooting and was fine, but i had to root for tethering (havent installed an app yet though). So far, i have also included quite a bit of additional apps for the Pen Window - VERY handy.
I just need a ROM that will allow tethering.

what are these features?
I really hope Samsung implements LG KnockOn gesture though... to save me from pressing the hardware buttons again and again
Maybe a stupid question, but why are we not seeing any AOSP roms at this time ? With other devices they appeared much faster. Dont get me wrong, no trolling on ETA. Cant wait to see this beast (snapdragon 800) run stock android
I'm just waiting to be able to root my phone without voiding its warranty due to KNOX :/

multi window, pen window, air view, S note to name a few. And I generally like the look of touchwiz as well.
