Can we just flash this and do nothing else or does this require a whipe or something? Also sorry for the noob question but why do we need to update the market?

thanks for the heads up.

From what I can tell, the icons are all new. Although maps is older version and will get updated via Market and icon will be replaced back to normal. Other than that, not much difference.

It has the Google search app and the updated Voice Search.

Would love to know why there is a Twitter client in the gapps package.

does anyone know where i can get GAPPS for CM6?....i just rooted about 30 mins ago and im totally lost and every link is broken......i really need some help LOL....i know that sounded desprate

we have moved on to cm7, can still get the cm6 gapps at http://goo-inside.me/

wow thats real overwhelming to me LOL....should i just flas CM7?.....would that be a better option for me? (and is everything included with CM7?)....sorry for all the questions...did my homework on rooting, but all the stuff that comes after root im not so keen on.....thank alot

can you tell me which one i need for my particular ROM?>
HDPI
MDPI

cm7 nightlies have 4g now, they are working very well and have everything that cm6 had, there are a few minor issues such as dialer wakelock, titanium not auto restoring, slow pc to phone transfers

ok cool....but im having a problem....i downloaded CM7 onto my PC and dropped it into my SDcard....went to the bootloader and selected RECOVERY....but its not taking me to the Clockwork MOD....its just giving me the option to REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER, AND HBOOT USB..........did i do something wrong?....this is the first time im flashing a ROM over another
P.S. Do i have to delete Cm6 thats in my SDcard, then drop CM7 into the SDcard.....then try to go into recovery?....im not really sure

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

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!

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

Villain Rom 3.0

Ive install Villain Rom 3.0 with the new android 2.3.5 its working great. For some reason it did not have root so i flashed via odin speedmod kernel KI-T40. and with that i got root and its working great so far.
im just waiting know for the tweaks and a good blue theme for it.
I hope this helps .
If i help you just hit the thank meter!

Wrong Section its not a question .

It does have root it just didn't have superuser, downloading superuser from market would of solved root issues.

I found that people says that version 2.3.5 has better sound quality and battery drain is gone.
is is true ?
thank you in advance for you assistance.

Been using V3 for a week now, so far it been great. Playing with lots of apps from the market, no fc till now and battery is decent. Try it.

Is it that different to stock 2.3.5 though? I'm running 2.3.5, tried VR3.0 and can't see any differences at all. The guys at VR don't seem able to say what benefits it has over stock, other than some VR tweaks that aren't of use to me.

Urm one major difference stock is odexed, VR is deodexed. Allows themes and mods which for most is a big plus.

I have been using Villian 3 for several months and I love it!
Only issues that I know:
Device Encryption does not work and blocks the phone (you have to come back to original stock rom to be usable, the phone cannot boot)
Touchdown app does not sync calendar (but email works so I'm fine with it)
But battery life is awesome compared to stock one, is very fast and I you like TW like I do is great cause you will get TW experience with better battery and faster

Yes, device encryption is unfortunate...
I'd not turn it down if it worked... I decided to wait until ICS, and then see if the inbuilt stuff there works. If not, I'll have to figure it out.
But at the end of the day, I wouldn't release the rom like that, for one reason. Encryption is only good if you are using a secure rom. While VR is in many respects more secure than most ROMs due to using non public platform keys, it still permits root access.
Since exchange encryption is usually enforced by your IT admin, I don't think people should be using this ROM for work purposes to connect in, given it is rooted...
With root, you can just dump the data off the running system

I need help?

I just flashed my N10 with Custom ROM CM10.1 but I realized I don't like it that much.
My N10 is rooted, and I do not know how to roll back to the stock rom because I forget to do a full backup. Please help, im running on 4.2.2
Thank you! I just want to roll back
Tim

Google search for factory image for Nexus 10. Or install a stock rooted 4.2.2 ROM from the development section, or try out other ROMs and see if you like them better.
I dont really understand though how you dont like CM10.1, it is the same as stock but with a couple more features and bugfixes. What could you possibly not like about it?

Just check out the sticky threads on the nexus 10 general forum. They have a thread with stock roms.
However my suggestion would be to try out more custom roms. They too are available on a sticky thread. Specially the vanilla rootbox one which is working great for me.
Sent from my GT-N7100 or the Nexus 10, heaven knows.
Those who help noobs go to heaven. True story.

Try using carbon ROM and Trinity kernel I have that set up on my N10 and my N4 and both devices smoke man they are fast as hell....try rasbean too all of this is in the nexus 10 original development section ......if your looking for close to stock as possible try mmuzzy ROM its stock with performance enhancements ....don't fret man that's the best part flashing different ROMs and kernels to suit you best man :cyclops:

I suggest using AOKP Pub with the Trinity Kernel. Awesome combination, super smooth, good battery life and nice performance - plus a ton of options for customization

Take a deep breath man. When I saw this thread I thought you dropped it in the toilet or something. LOL Not a big deal, it is easy to go back. If your head is spinning because of all the different options available in CM play around with it for a few days, it will grow on you.

Take it easy buddy. There is a tons of stuff that you could do with your rooted nexus.

Well, the reason I do not like about the CM10.1 and most custom ROMs is that it doesnt support google play store and also it lacks the google pinyin(input method)which comes default on the nexus 10 and the google pinyin i download on the official site is way different than the default built-in one.

Nobody would use custom ROMs if they couldn't use the play store also you can pull the pinyin apk and install it to any custom rom

Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD

Then you have a corrupt download or something weird. Most ROM's need to flash a gapps package after the ROM gets flashed so you have the official Google apps like the play store. There are one or two ROMs with these apps built in but the "proper" way is to separate the apps into the different installs. Though if you use a ROM with an Aroma installer, I have always seen gapps get flashed as a part of that. Mr.Robinson's AOKP PUB is a good example of that.

Also in regards to pinyin you would have to flash to stock/rooted use something like es file explorer goto /system/apps copy the pinyin apk to your normal storage(virtual sdcard) then you can flash whatever you want and copy that apk back to /system/app set permissions to read write read read and maybe reboot. You should then have the one you want working.

[Q] Uninstalled "Apollo" from CM10.1 and now stuck in boot

Ughhh.... I uninstalled Apollo from CM10.1 which came pre installed in the gapps and I didn't want any of its bloatware so I uninstalled it with a Root Uninstaller- as soon as I uninstalled it my phone rebooted and is stuck at the CM boot animation.. This has to be like the 5th time my phone got f'ed up today. Wtf do I do now, I'm so fed up with Android nothing just works.... sooo many freakin issues

There's something else going on, uninstalling Apollo shouldn't do that.
Restore your previous set up and save flashing stuff for another day, you seem to be encountering a lot of issues today.

OK I got paranoid android on my phone and kinda liking it but how do I resize widget like I could in cm - I was able to resize them however I wanted and on this its like stock that widgets can't do that

Research more, flash less for a while.

Apollo is part of CM itself and NOT in the GAPPs package. I delete it and have no issues doing so (I delete it BEFORE flashing the ROM)

Don't try to blame Android for your technical incompetence.

Before wiping everything out you could simply try to reflash cm10.1 dirty.
