the price of xoom is also very "attractive" to poor people like myself.

Desktop visualizer+simi folder+custom icon.

but i think tab2 price will also be very attractive if base on the experience..unless u willing to wait

what did you do on the sgt during that time? only check mail by 3G?

only check mail
No game
Browsing minimal, very mimimal

I check mail using android yahoo mail which is push mail I think

I found out if u use wifi it will drain out lots of battery

Just finish flashed [1.4ghz OC/UV] MCR EXT4 compatible/Voodoo Sound V13 and successful set the clock speed to 1.4GHz. So far didn't found any problem and TAB seem much faster than previous. Still yet test the battery performance. My TAB was Overcome v1.1.3 ROM btw.

I'm really interested om the EXT4 system. Just need some confirmation:
1) mine is My set, will the steps to flashed it the same with the one in your blog? (since yours is europe set)
2) my internal SD is almost full. do I need to bought an external SD 1st to create space for file conversion?
3) will all my contact/apps still intact?

TQ in advance.

You can follow the steps as I have outlined. However before you do that, you need to check whether your bootloader is signed - it is if is is a Msian set. Download and install the patch file from here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071

Launch the program - you will see whther it is safe or not. If is signed bootloader , just select PATCH IT - Don't worry it is very safe to do this. Reboot Tab and you are now ready to flash/change to ext 4.

The default file system in the TAB is RFS. You have 2 choices - maintained RFS file system and just change the kernel to Modaco R3 OR change file system to EXT4 and kernel to Modaco R3. Seriously if one wishes to change the kernel to R3 might as well change to EXT4 file system which is more superior

One main advantage of using Modaco kernel is it will at sametime install a RECOVERY system. With this you can now do easy full backup/restotre and flash newer roms based on EXT4 system. No more need to connect to PC and use ODIN/or Heimdall to flash new roms

If you want to flash this new kernel - make sure your external micro SD card has sufficient space as about 1 GB of your system data/apps will be backed up. To be safe, have at least 4GB free space or use a new micro SD card
All your data/apps etc remains after conversion to EXT4

I was on Modaco R1 rom and has failed to flash this OC kernel using version 6,7 and 11 - my TAB freeze and in all occasions I lost my internal SD card , completely wipe clean. Don't know why ?? Anyway not big issue I reflash using Odin Rotohammer JMG and revive my TAB. Thereafter convert back to ext4 file system and reinstall Modaco R1.

After I read you have successfully done, I just couldn't resist to try again. Was surprised to note new version R13 available. Downloaded the zip file and flash from recovery. VIOLA!! Flash successful all completed less than 2 minutes. Will monitor performance and update later
Anyway it is good to know that I can overclock it to 1.4 Ghz

Added on February 15, 2011, 11:26 amSpiroth : Just out of curiosity how come your internal SD card is nearly full ??? What type and how many apps you have been installing ??? The internal SD ( 16 GB) has up to 13 GB of space to install apps/data > I use only 3 GB so far and I have about 100 apps installed

Looks like you need to force install apps to external micro SD to have more space.

Actually, most of the space are used to stored my media (mostly video clips, MTV and manga) which can easily copied out during the process. BTW, my gameloft HD games already used about 1.2G...

Why do we wish to flash a cooked rom and not use a stock rom ??

Stock rom are build to cater for the general masses. It is what we called a safe rom and should meet the demands of most users in the world. It is analogous to a basic car, say a Persona or Vios or a City. Yet we see such cars are being modified , owners spending extra RM 10000 to RM 30000 on it. Most non car owners or basic car owners will question this " extravagant" extra spending - which one can buy another used car or better spend on other items. These owners are just pushing their car to the maximum limit to enjoy a greater performance out from it

Similar for smartphones, cooked roms allow one to expand into areas beyond what the manufacturer allows - reduce bloatware in standard roms, free more memory, allow customization ( themings, overclocking, kernel changes etc ). As such enhance actions are free ( you can too donate a small sum to developer if you wish ) there is actually no loss on yourself to try. But seriously if you are already happen with the stock rom, it is not necessary. But I always say, you will miss what you never try

Added on February 15, 2011, 11:59 amThis is strange. Most Gameloft HD games ( additional data ) are downloaded to external micro SD card - there should be a gameloft folder created in the external microSD with the additional data downloaded. Some games example Dungeon Defender create another folder DunDef in the external card ( about 700 MB data )

BTW I maintain all my video/audio files on the external microSD as I don't see any major difference having it in the internal SD ; I tested a 2GB mp4 movie file in the internal SD - didn't notice any difference in terms of loading speed and viewing performance
