Does JB or ICS improve touch sensitivity - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

My number 1 complaint with the 10.1 is that i get finger ache trying to use the tab for an extended period
I just had a play with an IPAD and i'm SOOOO jealous how little you have to touch the screen to make it move etc
will a software update to JB or ICS improve the touch sensitivity of the tab?
Thanks

Yeah that's also an issue for me it's responsiveness for touch are not that great...
Hope they fixed this with project butter since it guess where are you gonna touch the screen and react milliseconds before the touch happens

I agree, hopefully Project Butter on JB will solve it.
If you are rooted or know how to, try this.

ICS sensitivity and responsiveness is night and day over HC..
But now after running JB, it is night and day over ICS

Yeah I know what you mean but the best advice is read everything and you need to be prepared for issues and dig under the bonnet so to speak.
This is off topic so don't ask anymore about root here
yes cmw is required which is recovery and Backup everything.
Lots of posts scrolling screens and I used the recovery from here using Odin to flash. http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/

Thanks man
So back on topic, I really want the smoothness! and
I've read that build is alpha, but are you happy it's stable enough?
smooth scrolling will be amazing, but a tab that keeps crashing is a lot more annoying and I will wait a while otherwise
Otherwise i'll go for the root, and then install that app mentioned above
Cheers for all your advice guys

Latest build is up and mine is WiFi only this is suitable for daily use. JB mixed in with CM 10 is really smooth and once Samsung puts out the drivers for camera 3G etc this ROM really does make the tab buttery smooth. Things are so much more fluid. JB ROM has given my tablet and experience as good as the iPad 2. There are things to fix and alpha meet early days but the dev has worked really hard on this and to a lot of us forgotten by Samsung tab owners a huge WOW.

Great, I want to try this
Can I ask, does CM mean clockwork mod or cyanogen mod?

1. Download Odin from available threads
2. Download a recovery for Odin flashing (like cwm), be sure to get the correct one for your tab (if you have WiFi only its 7510 or p4wifi, for 3g its p4 or 7500)
2.a you can start downloading the ROM you want right now as well, so you don't have to wait later on.
2.b download appropriate gapps (for ICS or jb)
3. In Odin make sure nothing besides the auto reboot and the thing the right if it is checked
4. Put your tab in download mode: turn it off. Turn it on while holding volume down, you'll get a screen with two icons on it. The right one should already be selected so press volume up to select, if not then press volume down to switch then volume up to check. The tab will tell you to press volume up to continue, do it. Congrats, now you are in download mode.
5. Connect your tab to your computer. One iPod the empty squares above should turn yellow and something written in it*
6. Click PDA for file selection. Select the recovery.tar.md5 you downloaded.
7. Press start, when finished your tab should reboot.
8. Get the downloaded ROM on the tab, however you wish.
8.a backup everything you want backed up. Photos mucpsic and other stuff won't be deleted if its on the "sdcard"
9. Turn off tab. Turn on again while holding volume down.
10. Enter recovery by pressing volume down then using volume up to select (you want the left icon)
11. Navigation in CWM: volume keys=up/down, power button=confirms selection
You want to wipe data, wipe cache and then to into advanced and wipe dalvik cache, return to the top
14. Select apply update, select choose zip, find ROM you downloaded, confirm.
14.b sometimes it might not be best to flash gapps at the same time as ROM, so it may be better to reboot phone then when started reboot again into recovery then flash gapps like you flashed the ROM.
For future ROMs only 8+ is needed, sometimes 8a and wiping data in 11 is not needed, this is usually for small updates of the same ROM (like cm night lies) however you can always try not to wipe data then if you have problems reboot into recovery and do the three wipes.
* if nothing turns yellow make sure you have drivers. You can install lies to get drivers(but make sure no lies process is running when you start odi ) or search for drivers and download them

The touch sensitivity is much better but still has its moments but that could be the ROM its self

Just saying hey!!

Hey guys, my name is Kirk, I'm new to Android and just picked up a Galaxy Tab 10.1. So far I'm loving it, and last night I just rooted it. First question is when i get OTA updates, do I have to worry about updating or can I go ahead with the update without issues? And secondly, as far as rooting goes, what do you guys suggest I do to make my Tab even more enjoyable? Either a point to the correct forum or answers here would be much appreciated!!
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
Don't update if you want to keep root. What tell someone post a rooted version, so you can flash though clockworkmod recovery.
Always read before you flash, make backups. And wipe
It helps to keep roms, kernals and mods in there own folder.
Could someone point me to the correct instructions for flashing new ROMs?

Go to the development forum for the tab.

It's quite simple actually.
If you have CWM (clockwork mod) installed
1. then all you have to do is go to the development section.
2. Find the rom you like
3. Download the zip
4. Load the zip into your Tab
5. reboot your tab and as it starts hold power and the volume button right next to it, then select clockwork mod
6. Go to install zip
7. Find your zipped rom file and it will install ( Sometimes you have to clear data if it bootloops though)
Sweet!! Sounds easy enough, I really appreciate the instructions. I'm loving the Tab an the whole feel of Android, coming from iOS.

[HOW TO][GSM]10/20 Honeycomb Team - RC1 Flash

**First off, I am not responsible for anything you do from my post that messes your device.**
Screenshots in second post.
Noob questions will be ignored. Ok here we go.
Pre-requisites
1 - Working knowledge of how to flash via Odin (I ain't teaching ya)
2 - sdcard that has the bootloader fix, HC rom and any other needed files on it already (makes last couple of steps faster)
3 - The ROM from here
Instructions
1 - Backup your stuff.
2 - Backup your stuff
3 - Download the needed stuff from the attachments
4 - Download the needed Froyo (yep you read that right) rom to 'restock' the device from here and extract the enclosed tar file
** JJ7 ROM here for those that have reboot issues with the roto JME ROM. **
5 - Start Odin and select the downloaded .pit file for the PIT section and make sure re-partition IS checked
6 - Select the .tar file that your extracted from the Froyo rom download for the PDA section (it has an MD5 extension added to the end, you can remove it)
7 - Attach tab in download mode (power + volume down) and click the start button when Odin is ready and wait (about 3-5 mins)
8 - Allow tab to boot and click through welcome screens (don't worry about connecting to network or account or anything as it wont last) and take a trip down memory lane (mmmm Froyo) ... Done? Good, run the bootloader patch and patch if needed and reboot.
9 - Open Odin again and select the p1000-mck-r3-ext4-cwm.tar file from the attachments and add it to the PDA section, no .pit file this time
10 - Make sure re-partition IS NOT checked and connect your tab (in download mode) and click start and wait (30 secs) and tab will reboot
11 - Reboot will get stuck at bootlogo, power down and reboot into recovery (power + volume up) and the EXT4 conversion should start (you need an sdcard in the external slot) ... wait for it to finish, it will take a while, when done wipe data/cache/dalvik and reboot into Froyo once again and skip through the welcome stuff
12 - Reboot into recovery with the sdcard in the external slot and select "install from sdcard" -> "choose zip" and select the HC beta rom and flash it
13 - Flash a Froyo radio from this thread if you want the 3G working. (JK3 works well with my GT-p1000 from Bell)
14 - Reboot into Honeycomb goodness! Reboot again for good measure.
Have fun!!!

A little more info would be helpful. Is your tab GSM? What is happening instead?
Yes.when pressing power and volume up,there is after a few seconds a flah of frizzly colours across the screen and it get stuck with the boot logo.Tab can go in download modus,but not in recovery.
Also it doesn´t charge anymore (grey battery symbol).
Are you holding the buttons longer than needed maybe? Let go of both buttons as soon as you see it power on. As for your grey battery, leave your tab plugged into the wall charger for four hours then unplug, reenter download mode and start from scratch. Sounds like either you started to flash with little battery left or the CMW recovery didn't take and need to be reflashed.
Also you didn't specify or put it in your signature but you are using a GT-P1000 right? This si not for any Sprint or Verizon or even a LTAM verison, just ATT/Euro versions of the tab.
I'm kinda itchin to try this out. I've yet to download the roms though.
Just wondering, how's the current HC running on the gtab? (performance, battery-wise)
Can you be more specific ?? Dont undestand how to do nothing

One thing that is special, is it will let those who want to use Google Body run it.
At this time GB does not run Google Body.

First time flasher

Finally got my tab back and I am now thinking of flashing a custom from on to it. So I just wanted to know which is the best rom to install on my version P7500 and one that as the least problems. This will be the first time i have done this so how easy is it and what's the best way to do it with out effecting your flash count
I can suggest 2 different ROM´s.
Overcome v2.3.1, all is working, but is Honeycomb 3.2.
Or, when you not need the camera, use ICS 4.03.
(Camera driver is not available at the moment for ICS)
My favorite is AOKP, Version Milestone-4 and update build28.

Make sure you're on the latest CWM (root your TAB)
MAKE A NANDROID Backup (in CWM)
wipe data/factory reset in recovery

Your guess is as good as everyone elses. I've seen estimated times pass already, and several say another month and longer.
Seems the only agreement you'll get is either soon or later, to never.

Nandroid make backups in /mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup,
factory reset does nothing there.
I would also suggest overcome 2.3.1 while waiting for ICS release. I actually use the camera :-(. Otherwise I would be using a custom ICS ROM.

Give the rom a change and flash it, you will see it is awesome,
but the custom ICS roms are also for daily use ready.
The only possibility to determine which rom is better for you,
is to flash it all.
You can not damage your TAB, and with Odin you can anytime back to stock samsung firmware, which were found on sammobile homepage.
Will this effect your flashcount

Samsung has already rolled out ICS for galaxy S II and the ICS for GT 10.1 is supposed to be released soon but soon is such a bad word to use since its always used to evade responsibilities!
Anyhow I am hopefully Samsung will push it out before end of Q2 as promised before but what saddens me is that the next Android Jelly bean is right around the corner yet all the companies are struggling to update their devices to ICS. Android's biggest problem as of right now is fragmentation and Google should look into it seriously!

First of all there is no way to avoid that 'flash count' thing...
Now, there is no need of rooting if u are going to flash a custom rom like ICS (preferably AOSP) or Overcome....coz they come pre-rooted...
1) Grab the latest odin flashable CWM recovery from http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/recovery/cwm5/p4/recovery.tar.md5
2) Flash the above downloaded CWM in the PDA section of Odin. in the Download mode (press the vol down button while turning on the tab...when two icons appear, press the vol up button and again confirm by the vol up)
3) Also Download the required Custom Rom .zip file and copy it to the SD card root of ur Tab..
4) Turn the tab off and while restarting again enter bootloader mode by keeping the vol down key pressed...now use the vol down key to navigate to the left icon nd use the vol up key to confirm...now u'll enter CWM recovery...
5) Use the volume keys to navigate...nd power switch to confirm.
6) Wipe user data...cache nd dalvik cache (in advanced)...
7) Now go to 'install zip from SD card' nd 'choose zip from sd card'
8) Now choose the zip file dat u copied earlier nd confirm...(if u flash ICS then u also hav to Flash Gapps without a reboot in between)
9) After everythng is done reboot your tab...nd ur done...
10) Enjoy....nd Happy Flashing..!!!

Newbie Need Help..got my TF101 rooted..now what?

Hello, Im new to this and was able to root my TF101 build .27 with oneclickrecovery V0.4, which installed SUPERUSER v3.0.7
Wanted to install the EOS 4 JB because I read this is very Fast and Stable. This is what is important to me, hence the root.
Now how do I use this and install the ROM?
Is there a youtube or link that someone can direct me to?

You will need to update to TWRP 2.3.2.3 (highly recommended) via GooManager
THank you for the link. I tried to install easyflasher but I think when I installed oneclickrecovery, it installed Rogue XM Team which I think is my flasher (instead of easyflasher)..when I rebooted with VOL_DN & PWR, then VOL-UP, it went to Rogue XM Team instead of easyflasher.
So can I just download the ROM into my SD Card and use the menu from the Rogue "install from .zip file"?
Is this the method?
I know Im half way there but need guidence for finish the rest. thanks for your help.

I'll alleviate some of your confusion lol, Rouge XM etc are recoveries (that are accessed via holding vol down and power) Easyflasher is a program that runs off your pc and allows you to install a recovery (like Rouge, TWRP or CWM). Easyflasher also works as an unbrick tool (if you do something wrong and mess up your tf101 easyflasher will restore it back to stock)
When using a recovery you need to place the rom on your sd card (some recoveries will only allow flashing from internal or external sd card's not both, but in the case of rouge it access both) then wipe the device (this will get rid of data etc, so if your going to make a back up this is the time) and then wipe everything except for battery stats (it isnt necessary to wipe everything but im not using the same recovery so i cant remember what the options say on rouge so just wipe everything for now) then flash the rom with "install for .zip"(and anything that goes with it i.e gapps or another kernel----- depends on the rom your using) and then just to be safe wipe the devlik cache again and reboot.

I would STRONGLY suggest switching to TWRP. Rogue will work for now, but if you flash updates to this ROM, the new file structure for 4.2 will cause your /sdcard/ to end up in the /sdcard/0/ directory, and after another flash it will be /sdcard/0/0/. You can move the files, but IMO TWRP is much better anyway (it can flash from internal and external storage).
You can install GooManager and choose to install open recoveryscript from the menu, or you can use the dd command and a terminal emulator to install TWRP:
First, download the twrp blob from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tf101
Rename the 2.3.2.3 blob to TWRP.blob
Method 1
Open a terminal emulator.
Code:
$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]dd if=/sdcard/TWRP.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4[/B]
# [B]reboot[/B]
It is important to just do a reboot, if you reboot to recovery immediately it WILL NOT update the recovery. Upon reboot, you should see a progress indicator at the Eee Pad screen. Feel free to reboot to recovery after this (even before it boots).​
I strongly recommend reading the post by Fredurco in the link he provided. As a matter of fact, read the first three posts. These are the most detailed instructions for any ROM I've ever seen and believe me, I've seen more than a few. Take your time and just follow those directions to the letter and you will be fine.

Nothing as fast, eos3 in my opinion is the stablest custom ROM I've used but I can't move away from eos4, plus when timduru release the cornerstone build my tablet is gonna get some major use.

I agree! EOS 4 IMO is the most usable and stable 4.2 build. My biggest complaint with the CM10.1 build was the touchpad disable was not working. It is still a great ROM otherwise and pretty stable.
As far as 4.1 ROMs, EOS 3 is solid, and so is the CM10/PananoidAndroid hybrid.
I am definitely itching for some cornerstone love!
I use liquidsmooth currently, and it's my new favorite, since everything works. I haven't found or noticed any bugs, which is rare.
EOS4 is also good, but I just don't like the feel of it oddly. Very well built and worth a shot though.
Hi Fred! Dug my TF101 out of moth balls and put on EOS4.
Had some trouble with the drivers, So I ended up using 1 from column A, 2 from column B:silly:
end result, got my drivers, APX mode going, (cross between oneclickrecovery, easyflash, nvFlash, Universal Naked Drivers),
Finally got twrp on and flashed superuser
got twrp-goo manager to update it, Flashed EOS4- saw updated recovery did not stick, finished the flash, updated twrp again, reflashed eos4- saw twrp update did stick this time, and now get to play with the TF 101 all over again!
Everything old is new again!
Thanks Fred! Your post on the TF forum was great, and XDA supplemented what wasn't working for me!! Great teamwork:victory:
Thanks to Fred's excellent tuts, I was able to easily get TWRP installed and rooted (although it did kill my WiFi somehow, which I'm hoping will be solved with a different ROM), but have a dilemma:
Not to hijack (didn't see the point of starting a new thread about the same thing, but I will if you guys want me to) but which ROM will give the best video performance? I'm not trying to do 1080 stuff or anything naive like that, but I would at least like to be able to watch some of the lower quality 720p stuff (NPW's releases are very good) without stuttering or syncing issues.
Note: I'm not trying to do everything with this tablet and overall I'm VERY satisfied with the overall performance and wouldn't even be tinkering with it at all (I've had it for over a year on stock ICS) if I didn't travel a lot and use it to watch movies on the go. I only use this tablet for gaming, surfing, movies and lots of document viewing (PDF, MSOffice, etc). I don't care about GPS or the camera. I have a phone for that. However, I don't have the time or means to be constantly reflashing this thing because WiFi drops out every 30 minutes or something like that.
Basically, I'm looking for the ROM with the best combo of:
- Stability
- Respectable HD-ish video playback
I'm not a total Android noob. I spent many hours tinkering with my old Nook Color back in the day, so no worries there. I'm just looking for reliable video playback on the go. I've been looking at Android Revolution HD to preserve the ASUS File Manager and things like that, but really haven't seen anything definitive about video playback improvements. I'm open to moving up to JB, but its not a burning desire or anything.
Thanks!

I guess I am not sure what is causing your WiFi stability issues. I have no problems with the EOS 4 ROM and WiFi. It never drops out on me. It is perfectly stable, and I can play 720p H264 23.94 FPS mkv files with no issues using MX player.
Before I ran EOS 4, I was running the ParanoidAndroid/CM10 Hybrid ROM and it was just as stable and fast.
If you are having WiFi issues, did you do all the wipes (Cache, Davlik, System, Factory Reset) before flashing the ROM? If not, then that is probably where the WiFi issue is (settings from your previous ICS ROM still present on the data partition).
Disregard the bit about the WiFi. I disconnected and reconnected to my network and all is well.
It sounds like EOS4 is the only ROM that is still consistently updated. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.
Thanks!

EOS4 and the CM10.1 No-Name are the only ones getting regular updates.
Thanks for the quick responses. EOS 4 is installed and process of redownloading all my apps. Now I just need to test out some video. I'm testing it without the OC kernel first, just for fun.
If you wanna see more in-depth which rom is better, I recommend a little app called Antutu benchmark, it'll give your current setup a score depending on how fast it does things like 3d renderind, sd card reading and battery performance
I might be in the minority with this opinion, but after some tinkering I'm not all that convinced that EOS is any faster than the stock ROM from a general usability standpoint (even with the latest KAT kernel), but the video is definitely improved, so I'll keep it as my "daily driver".
Thanks for the help, guys!

Most stable ROM for WiFi TF101

Title says it all guys blowing of the dust of this thing can anyone point me to the most stable ROMs out there CM10 prefer
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
I'd like to know this too. I often have to turn wifi off then on to reconnect.
Team EOS4 & KatKernel are by far the most stable ROM and Kernel combination available from my experience, also it is JB 4.2.2, the latest Android available atm
No wifi issues at all, wifi works after sleep, never disconnects during use for me, and works first time after a full boot, just remember to set the correct wifi location in settings
Team EOS 4, Katkernel here too, make sure you reboot a few times after installing it. follow the guide in this forum, install it like it directs you to.
FULL wipe(cache, dalvik, factory, system), install ROM, cache/dalvik wipe, install gapps, cache/dalvik wipe, install Kernel, cache/dalvik wipe, reboot.
Get Kat apk to boost volume and GPS fix.
I was having systemUI issues, reinstalled everything a few times and now it's running great. Keep it under 1400mhz, 1200mhz seems to work well for me. Nightly 109 was eating up my battery too quickly, 111 is doing better, I hope they can improve more if possible, great ROM either way, I'm very grateful.

I cant write to developer threads (including TeamEos ROM) since I didn't write 10 post yet, but...
I love TeamEOS. One and half year I've used 4.1 compilation and now I use 4.2 #112 build....
What can I say? Stable WIFI, fast GPS as hell, marvelous performance.... Try it!
And big thanks for Developers of TeamEos and KAT Kernel. You should be owners of ASUS! or companies like this.

Just reply to a few other threads, XDA has thousands
+1 for EOS4/KAT kernel. No-name is pretty good as well if you like CM 10.1.
EOS is amazing running 4.2.2 with my cpu overclocked to 1400 is amazing
+1

Dude, I did that update and crashed! I was using Stock ICS4.0 ASUS version and using [recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.8-tf101-repack]. Happens that ended Succesfully, but it did not REBOOT. Bricked at the ASUS logo screen...I don´t know what to do, nothing works. Tried to unBrick from APX mode but can´t run into it. :crying:

Can you still get into recovery? If so, can you flash from the microSD?

That's because your running CWM recovery, I know its not easy to read every thread going, but if I had £1 for every person I've said the same thing to over the past 2 weeks I'd easily have £7.39 by now
Use Easyflasher to unbrick and flash TWRP recovery, then you can flash Jellybean ROMs without bricking
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
APX Mode will not show anything on the TF screen, just plug the TF into the PC USB, then turn off the TF, then hold power and volume up until you hear the USB connect sound, that tells you that it is in APX mode, then you can run Easyflasher to unbrick
There should really be a sticky made about CWM, it doesn't play nice with JB ROMs
Team EOS 4 + Kat Kernel = FAST and STABLE :victory:
PS: If you wish to use Phablet UI i suggest you use Trebuchet from CM 10.1

Ok, but to use Easyflasher I have to go into APX and I CAN´T (maybe driver issue, but I reinstlaled and nothing!
I DO can go into TWRP Recovery (to be straight it´s the only thing that workED) but flashing ROMs FAILED over 5 times. So, to get a lil worse, I was clearing cache and Dalvik and suddenly I miss-touched SYSTEM...and now I think that I did MESS with it. I reboot and I get nothing but [Eee Pad ASUS] screen...not even get to loading dots!!
Last try was LINUX Coldboot...nothing succesfull at all!
I gonna kill myself....BRB!

Of course it won't boot; wiping system means deleting the ROM. Just re-flash the ROM now and see if that works. You are supposed to wipe system before flashing a new ROM anyway (to clear out remnants of the old ROM), so it's no big deal.

As I already said...flashing ROM FAILED over 5 to 7 times...and I CAN´T get to APX...i´m stucked at NO SYSTEM...just can get to Recovery, but NO flashing!
Try a different PC, or reinstall APX drivers
99% that APX mode does work, either you are doing something wrong, or your PC is struggling with the APX drivers
APX mode is volume up & power from powered off state while already plugged into PC, the only notification for entering APX mode is USB connect sound, nothing will appear on TF screen
I tried EOS4 recently and although the release looks good I experienced so many crash/reboots/freeze that it would make the worst build of the stock ROM look fantastic.
There are lots of update but nothing about fixing the important stuff like reboots, freeze no return from sleep
I would strongly advise on staying with stock ROM at the moment

Have to ask, what recovery did you use and did you do a full wipe before installing?
I find EOS 4 to be MUCH more stable on WiFi than any ICS ROM (including Stock and stock based ROMs)
