Best Custom ROM to flash?

Hey guys,
Lately the Stock ROM is annoying me, I'm planning on flashing it to a custom ROM - I don't see gingerbread anywhere so I thought why not !
Also, my tab was rooted until something happened and I had to reset it to factory settings, most of the apps (that need root access) work, but titanium backup claims it fails to achieve root.
So Should I re root my tab before flashing a custom ROM?
and of course the question I asked in the title - what would you'll recommend for a custom rom on a GSM tab (I was thinkin overcome)
Cheers
Jackie

Go for overcome rom, works like a charm for me

I'd also reccomend Overcome. Best rom out there IMHO. Until we get data on honeycomb anyway
Sent from inside a whale.

I also recommend Overcome. It's been brilliant so far.

Sweet, thanks a lot guys.
But can anyome tell me a sure **** way of know if it still has root, because some apps like screen density and market enabler work but titanium backup says "could not gain root" :/

Probably because you mis-pressed the allow button in superuser when first launching titanium.
launch superuser and remove teh titanium entry and next time you load it will ask for su rights again.

Definetly overcome!

Does anyone know if the latest Overcome custom ROM will work on a Galaxy Tab P1010 Wifi version?
Thanks.

Yes, make a backup of the stock rom with Rom Manager before flashing the new one.

I second that. Alterbridge is a first class developer.
And I really miss Rotohammer too.

Thank you very much everyone, I'm thinking I'll get rid of unwanted stuff on my internal SD before I start it - as I found out that conversion to ext4 takes a while - so I'll save time that way also - hopefully if time permits, I'll be flashing my tab soon
Also does anyone know if i could some how get the gingerbread framework to work with the galaxy tab on overcome?

I think its better you hold out at the moment till someone ports it over to the WiFi version

Well its a good idea. Am empty SD card conversion takes 2 minutes. Full one can take upto 20 LOL. Not that I encourage everyone to wipe their cards. I flashed overcome when my tab was fairly new so I had no problems wiping it.

sweet, thanks for the info, also when the ext4 is being converted, is there a progress bar or status? I get paranoid at times when I don't see any progress

market help

I cant seem to install the android market on my gt 540..... last week did i update it from android 2.1 to 2.3.3 swiftdroid 1.8 and i got market running on the phone fine and all but now today when i decided to change from 1.8 to 1.9..... i cant install the market like i used to before.... what i used before was a zip file called gapps_gb_20110120.zip that seemed to work before..... but know it doesn't seem to work for me.... and i did delete some folders from my sd card..... might it be because of that?

connect your phone with internet and it should be downloaded automatically

i have my wifi on and all that but.... it doesn't seem that it downloads or anything like that.....

This is probably faster.
EDIT: This is DEFINITELY faster!
And no, just flash this. But make a Nandroid backup first, wipe all data, wipe cache partition, wipe Dalvik cache, flash this ROM, happy days =]

no, it should be fine from any rom. in terms of perfomance this rom is lightning fast. its barebones so its not got anything slowing it down. but thats at the expences of features, no youtube, spare parts and stuff like that. just really basic. music, gallery, mms, browser and things like that are included. all standard phone apps, but no extras. its a base to build on but works fine as a day to day rom.

just a question, is there google talk? Without it android market doesn't work isn't it?

umm .. wont not having tweaks slow the phone down ..?

It is safe to flash directly to this rom if my existing rom is Behrad's CM7?

[HELP]CM7 Galaxy Y. WIFI turning on but not scanning.

I had a build of cm7 taken from madteam (whitexp"s thread) combined with his kernel from here at xda. after flashing the rom and kernel i flashed Fp1-tweak.zip from nagedhra's thread. after reboot, i tested wifi and portable tethering. wifi turns on but not scanning and for about 20 second it shows error. for portable tethering, it shows active, windows can connect (open mode only) but cannot browes. so, sorry for making this thread but i really like cm7 for young.
i combined the three files in one flashable via CWM. zip file available at MEDIAFIRE
i will be glad to test every files that you may suggest to be replaced, added or deducted from the rom. thanks in advance.

have we tried using modified wpa_suplicant file used to activate adhoc connection to solve this problem?

wifi tether on any rom?

hello mates.
I know there are already some threads about tethering (i know, i used "search" before creating new thread)
My problem is this:
i flashed a lot of roms found in the developers section. miui, cm7 and oxygen, actually i think i have tested them all, doing the 3 wipes EVERY TIME...(god bless titanium backup)
I never got wifi tethering to work properly not with native feature nor with any app on the market.
with pc 1/5 could make the tethering
with ics tablet and SE x10mini i got endless connect-reconnect making internet unusable and sometimes i could not even find u8800 in the list of available networks.
I tried sharing 3g with SE neo v and everything went ok perfectly stable connection.
So my question is: has anyone, in ANY rom, got the wifi-tethering to work properly?
Thanx

Im using aurora and barnacle wifi tether. So far no problem.
Can you check your wifi mac please, it may be nulled.

Mac is ok, never updated to .35 kernel. I am sure that it is somehow prolly drivers problem on 8800 because if I share from other phones to my tablet connection is fast and stable
Could it been .32 problem?

Ive used miui for a long time and i was using barnacle. If i were you i would install 2.2 again and try the native one and barnacle.
If it wont work backup your imei and update to 5xx (.35) and try to tether. Anyhow you can go back abytime youll want.
