I think your best solution now is just to reflash rom from scratch. Why don't you try Ovecome 1.2.0 - from recovery you flash : change kernel and sametime convert files to ext4 ( if yours is not ). I suggest you clear cache partition, and clear dalvik cache first before you flash the zip
I have tried his 1.1.3 briefly before and I must say is good comparable to Modaco R1. Overcome rom has more features when you press switch off button - it allows you to select recovery mode too

Hardware is same ; you decide yourself : only you can answer this question yourself

1. Compare their plans based on your typical usage
2. The ares you often go to - which coverage is better

If you are looking at overall costs as a factor, I'd think Celcom is slight cheaper as Maxis data rates above limit is higher

Support on issues with tab especially on software : Don't expect too much from them unless you manage to access the right guy at the right place. You will get better user help - software support here !LOL!!

Not surprising, I find 2 cops holding and don't know doing what with it at a kopitiam in my housing estate 3 days ago. Maybe this is part of PDRM'e efforts to improve communication thro email, tweets etc ; I'd think is a good tool for them plus with camera , take a shot and just email over !!

Sorry i know nuts about games. Dont even know what is psx4. Don't laugh - True. Hope other users can help you

My Quadrant reading on Overcome 1.2 @ default 1 Ghz : 1826
Quadrant is just a CPU, I/O, and graphics benchmark. It’s a way to test the performance of your phone compare to other Android devices.



Just for info, these were my previous best readings:

Stock rom : 927
Rotohammer JME : 1072
Modaco R1 ( ext4 fs ) : 1781

These figures just shows the improvement in changing the roms.

However I'd like to say these scores itself just give one a " feel good factor" - it does not necessary mean another android phone with a lower score is a poorer performer. I always like to quote my ex Galaxy S ( on voodoo lag fix and Froyo ) score an impressive 2250 compared to its stock of 1020. But I do not see double increase in performance ; I'd say the improvement is slight probably 10 % ? Then at same time my Dell Streak and HD2 ( android ) was scoring around 1200 t0 1500 range but practically their performance was way, way ahead of the Galaxy S ( w Voodoo n Froyo)
Performance should truly be measured by your own experience and feel of using the phone . If you are happy with it, just take these scores as guideline only

Your recovery has been modified when you flash the Richard OC kernels - see his post , he mentioned some modifications. Just press Home button to select instead of the power button
When you reflash this Overcome 1.2 you will see the hat logo but your keys back to normal

TQ for the nice words. I am still learning everyday. I am not an expert and still have to learn from others. It is amazing what you can learn just by reading all the posts of users comments on XDA. I have more time on my hand to read as I am a retiree and what I have is time now

I'd then recommend you to try Overcome 1.2 . You have option to use 1.2 or 1.4 Ghz O/C if you plan to paly these games. Tune it down for normal use. I'd say Overocome has now given a all in one solution with his already stable rom plus hos own customized kernel with OC features. So theoretically should have less 3rd party issues. I am not a gamer but i just tested briefly for academic purposes at 1.2 and 1.4 Ghz OC - if is of any interest quadrant scores up to 2080 and 2232 respectively

try this and report back :

1. Open the Phone App

2. Enter the following info *#272*your device IMEI#

(your IMEI number is on the back of the galaxy tab)

3. Then choose XSG as the Sales Code option and
tap ok/install.

4. The tab will reboot and reset, this should take around
1-2 min. Then setup your tab again and you can see the Market app on the main screen and the menu.

Added on February 27, 2011, 12:23 pmMy understanding the EXT4 conversion is only on the 2GB portion of the internal SD card. Anyone - Correct me if I am wrong

Your external microSD not detected, not formatted etc is due to the card issue ; nothing related to the TAB. Before that , was it detected by the TAB ?

It is infact good practice to format the external card first using a PC . In my experience using various Windows and Android smartphones, the best method is to use SD tool not the usual windows format. This tool can even save supposedly spoilt/undetectable cards. I have use this tool to save several sd cards
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/sdfv2000.zip

You need to run then Quadrant test 3 to 5 x to get the best reading

Added on February 27, 2011, 12:27 pmdave : you are right. This is always my SOP in flashing any new roms too on all my Android devices:
clear cache partition, clear cache , clear battery
These steps will not remove any data

If I want to flash any new rom knowing it will overwrite my data , I take it another step further : clear data/factory reset. I believe this step is important as by so doing you will eliminate any force closure of apps ( especially those restore from Titanium or myBackupPro)

Just curious - why you did Partition SD ??? This is the internal SD card - if you do this it will wi[pe clean your internal SD card. You do this only if your internal SD has problems
Based on what I ahve read, when you installed Overcome 1.2 - it will auto convert to ext4 if detected your file suystem is still RFS ; no need to do any other steps. Since you said you have seen ext4 successfully converted, don't touch the internal sd card

Added on February 27, 2011, 1:17 pmtwokick : myzero is right too ; one can flash a new rom to solve this problem

If you dont want to flash new rom, just try the steps. Worse scenario if your phone fails to work - is due to modem.bin incompatible. Then just flash the modem file. Don't worry it won't spoilt your Tab

Added on February 27, 2011, 1:24 pmrahuldave : I read back your post again - you said you have successfully falsh overcome 1.2. Why did you go to do the partition on SD ? Is it after flash, your internal SD card cannot be detected ? If so, your external micro SD card will not be dtected as in the Samsung's file system, your ext SD card is nested below the internal SD card

If the internal SD card is not detected, you can still run apps but your internal SD card is disabled and all additional data for apps cannnot be installed on it. The only way out of this is to reflash a new rom using Odin with PIT and repartition to enabled back the internal SD card
Than only you proceed to upgrade accordingly

in post #744, you said partition SD ??? wNo need to do this
See my earlier post above on this issue if you have done it

BTW ext microSD should be formatted in FAT32 format

There is a tutorial in XDA pointed out by CX5 but is outdated as is based on extract of a rom zip file into 3 entities. You can refer here for a more up todate and simplified version. I wrote it after my first successful flash. I also started from scratch, know nuts about the Tab's firmware and flashing. I believe most of us are in same scenario . It is the interest in learning and trying. I'd suggest try do yourself rather than have shop do for you. There is always a saying : teach them how to fish and they'll value it for life and not just feed them the fish

SlideMe is a 3rd party apps site that encourage developers to submit their apps - it is a very small scale version of what you can find in Market. To date about under 10,000 apps while the Android market has about 120,000 apps more than 10 times more
If you are concernedd about getting Market - why don't you just try the steps I listed. Worse - it will not work . Or if can work - phone function affected ( which I think is unlikely ). In either case you still need to flash either full rom or just modem file

You mean you just change the kernel to ext4 ( Modaco R3 ?? ) or you also converted the file system to EXT4 ??
Actually changing kernels and fs conversion to ext4 will not delete any apps/data
Can you describe what you actually did ? There could be a misstep you have done
What is Your original rom ? Please also advise what is now the firmware specs on your tab : Settings/About device - build number, Kernel version and baseband

Google for this file - plenty available in web : gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip
This file contains several default google apps . Unzip it, locate the market apk and try installed it
What other apps missing ?

Added on February 28, 2011, 8:59 pmI'd say this are telco issues.I have tested on Digi : prepaid voice cum data sometimes have this problem. Digi internet data only package no such issue. Celcom postpaid voice/data no such issue

Are you on overclock ? I notice OC will have all the issues you mentioned but the TAB will still cahrge even with display on. Charging times is slower
I am now also using Overcome 1.2 without OC - battery life is very good. Overnight with some apps refreshing data previously I'd record a battery usage of about 20 % drop from midnight to 7 am. On Overcome 1,2 the usage was only about less than 10 %

Setting/application
locate app you want to be default homescreen
clear default for those you dont wish
or you can use app homeswitcher to decide which app you need to be home launcher

Use setcpu a paid app to choose oc value or you can use the app voltsge control download it from richardtrip 1.4 oc thread at xda

Looks like your internal SD is wipe clean. You can easily verify this - just use MyFiles - did you see the internal sd card ? When this happen, you will not see the ext micro SD card too
So go to recovery and restore the backup rom data
If by restore the internal SD card is missing :
- you have to reflash your rom with repartition, PIT and PDA using Odin. Then only change kernel. You will lose all your data when ou flash a new rom. I suggest you use rotohammer JMI

Some info about the undervolt control:

- full UV user control via sysfs
- works on all governor
- echo "50 50 150 75 75 100" >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table
- column 1 for 1.4ghz, 2 for 1.2ghz, 3 for 1000mhz, 4 for 800mhz, 5 for 400mhz, 6 for 200mhz and lastly 100mhz
-values are mV
