In layman's terms :

The kernel is the part of the Operating System that interacts directly with the hardware  through device drivers that are built into the kernel. It provides following services : manage memory, control access to hardware, maintain file system, handle erroes, perform input-output services ex communication with PC etc

The rom is the other part of the OS where you have all your applications, the features

Thx again for Benny well explanation.
I have a query about Kernel. Could Kernel be fully overwrite by another Kernel?
What i mean here, flash new Kernel on top of existing Kernel and fully overwrite the existing one.

If your new firmware is JM4, then z4root will not work. You can use SuperOneClick, it works for me on JM4.

For those using DiGi with Galaxy tab and facing data issue on 3G network. Its actually DiGi 3G is not compatible with our tab. Damn... now Im stucked with their contract! sad.gif

I've tried Hotlink on it and it works like a charm! HSDPA data are so smooth! and Im getting 2Mbps to 5Mbps. Best is the data never timeout.

On DiGi HSPDPA, highest can get is 1Mbps, but it timeout like nobody business. Stupid DiGi selling a non-compliance product, worse still with contract!!

So guess now I have to use my remaining 11months contract with EDGE only on my tab.

Same here, both digi postpaid and digi prepaid is very good even on edge. Can match my postpaid celcom 3g on the dell. Only last month my place has 3g digi services, it is now even better
It could be sim card defective. Such issue do happen
using digi biggest advantage their data plan is cheapest with no hidden charges

I assume you are using default launcher. Just hold down on icon and drag it out to any place in homescreen
then drag the app you want into the empty location at bottom apps bar
Is your data apn setting done. If not you will not have any dataservices

Yes, it will overwrite the existing kernel. You need to unlock the bootloader first before overwriting the existing kernel. The bootloader is a PC's "BIOS" equivalent software running before kernel starts. To unlock it you need to download the bootloader unlocker apk, can refer to 1st post.

Depending on the kernel compilation done by developer, certain functions may break e.g. camera, sensor and etc. If you are using KM2 or JM4, you can use 1.4Ghz Koxudaxi kernel. I'm using it with KM2 and it is stable.

hi adamking, long time didn't hear from you already. Thx for the explanation there. i actually very interested and a lot of queries and Bootloader, Kernel as well as Rom. i actually unlocked the bootloader already and using Overcome 1.2 Rom and 1.0 Kernel. Hope you able and try best answer all my queries and shown following:
1. As you explained above, is that mean flash the new Rom won't unlocked the bootloader? coz pc will boot the bios first b4 get into OS.

2. bootloader, rom.and kernel are 3 isolated programs which not one will install ontop of the others programs? or kernel will flash ontop of rom since it won't operate without rom?

3. if your explanation above is true, i will slove the kernel problem by flash a new kernel ontop of existing kernel? however, i experince b4, my previous kernel problem won't slove although flash with new kernel. how possible this will occurs?

1. Yes. You need unlocker apk to unlock it. Flash ROM won't help and in fact if flash with custom Modaco or Overcome wont boot at all if bootloader is not unlocked.

2. Bootloader is like BIOS will always run first and primary usage to flash kernel and ROMs. Samsung's bootloader needs a PC to operate (Odin). Yes, kernel running on top of ROM and kernel with CWM can flash new ROM using SD cards.

3. Not all kernel are compatible with ROMs and devices. Some devices e.g. Latin, USA, Middle East devices cannot be flash Euro kernel. In fact some custom kernel has to use with custom rom NOT stock rom e.g. new Modaco/Overcome kernel. You have to know your current device type and also read other ppl trial/error. In fact I did many trial and error as well from r3 Modaco, v10/v11/v12 richardtrip to v2.8.9 Koxudaxi. Always make sure you backup neccessary data but reinstalling apps is always painful process... cry.gif

Just download Waze from Market. It is free. In app register an account and start using.
It is kinda fun, it uses points and other funny stuff. If you post a traffic jam/accident/police trap you will get point and etc...
They made kinda like a game.

Download kies from : refer post #2 Question 8

Based on his firmware, if he wants official version he need installed KIES and if there is an upgrade he will be prompted to do so

If he wishes to use unofficial roms, I suggest he visit our forum and read post # 2 and # 3 to know more how to best use his TAB. He can always post his queries here and I am very sure many of us will help out

Wong : what is wrong with kernel 1.0 from Overcome. I find no issues at all . Infact I do not also face any issue with Modaco R3 kernel. What is it that prompt you to think there is a kernel problem ?

The problem was not exist from Overcome or Modaco Kernel, but was from richardtrip's v15 Kernel that i flashed previously.
I was mentioned few times on my previous post. While i plug in USB to charge my TAB, the screen light won't switch off automatically.
Result of this, TAB took extreme longer time to charge full. However, while i turn off the screen light manually, TAB will charge as normal.
I had tried to reslove this problem by flashed with Overcome's ROM 1.2 (Was it contain Overcome Kernel 1.0, wasn't it?), problem still exist and unsolved.
Finally, i re-flash the whole ROM using rotohammer's JMI ROM follow by Overcome's 1.0 Kernel and flash to Overcome's 1.2 ROM lastly.
Problem finally solved. Everything look fine and battery life seem perfect so far i used my TAB. thumbup.gif

BTW, really appreciate adamking valuable explanations again on my previous doubts. rclxms.gif

Thx for sharing and instruction. It's seem nice and funny.
However, deficiency of this animation is it's can't display as fullscreen.
