Suspected the same thing. Gonna get one tomorrow. BTW, changing to ext4 will not delete anything right? Since right now I'm downloading all the apps back to get my Tab back to the way it was before I flash rotohammer.

BTW, I noticed that my internal SD has a lot of free space after wipe clean by flashing (11GB++). Before when I bought the tab, only 6 GB free. Maybe someone at the digi centre download/play-around with my tab before me (demo unit).

No wonder. You must use external card needed to backup your stuffs
normally available internal card space to install is about 12 to 13 gb depend on roms

Yup, convert RFS to EXT4 using MoDaCo 'Kernel' won't delete your data file. But ROM will do.
However, my advice is backup using nandriod before you flash any Kernel or ROM.
Again, CWM only installed after you flash with MoDaCo Kernel.

Guys is it recommended if i get a Tab now?

how to setting divert incoming call to another number?

still is recommended.. although i still haven't got mine yet . tab2 is 10" & bigger. so it might not be as portable. which is why ppl go for tab in the first place

First this function must be enabled by your telco or it could be already auto enabled. AFAIK it can only be applicable for postpaid accounts

You can do this at : Settings/Call Settings/Call Forwarding - there are 4 options to choose ; just key in the number you wish to be diverted. You will receive a successful message immediately if activated

I forward ALL my calls to a mini small 15 year old Nokia phone. I find this very convenient without worrying about how to take the call especially when driving and on the move. I can return call on my TAB or my Nokia as I wish.
I am on postpaid Celcom and every call divert to my Digi Prepaid I just need to pay 10 sen per call divert irrespective of time. I was told if divert from Digi to others - call charges based on time is applicable. Maxis - not too sure. Go and find out if you are using Digi or Maxis

Added on February 15, 2011, 10:04 pmThis question often ask by my friends. Knowing I am a gadget freak and always changing gadgets, they think I could give a right answer. Honestly there is no right answer. My advise is DON'T follow the crowds ; follow your heart and ask why you need a tablet and what features is important - the answer is already there

Anyway , I have used the iPad for 8 months and now only less than a month on the TAB - these are my 2 sen opinion. Take it just as a guide - there is nothing right or wrong here - just my opinion. Some you might agree, some you won't

TAB :
Pro's : great Portability and versatility in features, customization , good office work substitute, great ebook reader, very good internet browsing, excellent and fast email and twitter client, comes with office suite,
Cons : Default UI is not very smooth ( just replace it with say ADW, Launcher Pro or Zeam ), battery life lose out to ipad - continuous video 7 hours, a lot of apps are poor quality but you have 150,000 to choose from , so getting a right one is not a problem

iPAD :
Pro's : Great gaming machine , excellent ebook reader not so for mags as still need to pinch n zoom plus scroll up-down and left right to read, plenty n tons of apps to experiment, very slick smooth UI, great video player ( but only Apple's approved format ) , great audio player ; flawless sync with iTunes if you don't mind using iTunes to manage your collection as cannot done on ipad itself, excellent battery life 10 hours on continuous video, great beautiful classy build

Cons: Poor browser with very limited features which is just an expanded iphone version ( need to replace with others ), not so suitable for work creation as the keyboard edit function is decades behind and horribly difficult and slow ( a disappointing effort from from Apple ), limited file transfers capability unless JailBreak , 3rd party video players on avi, mkv , rmb generally is poor unless convert to Apple's approved mp4/m4v format, poor email content download usually 3 to 5 secs or more , with attachments just got to wait ( download header is fast only ), average Twitter client, heavy and your hands pain with prolong usage, no inbuilt office software - have to buy US30 for iwork or US15 for say DocsToGo or QuickOffice

Same with me. I'm using Nokia 3100.


BTW, anyone knows how to get back 'bahasa malaysia' option in swype? Its gone after flashed to rotohammer rom.

I upgraded my firmware & now I can't retrieve MMS on my Tab~

Just key in the MMS settings manually again . See post#4 for the APN settings

Bro Benny888,

Wanna explanation on this:

Bootloader Patch

Status Information

Device (reported by firmware)
GT-P1000
European/International/Unbranded Galaxy Tab

Bootloaders - SIGNED !
Signed: PBL, SBL, Kernel
Not signed: SBL_Bakcup
Assessment: Can only flash SIGNED firmwares

Is it safe for me to proceed with upgrading file system to EXT4 ?

No. Select PATCH at bottom of screen to unlock bootloader. Reset TAB then you can now proceed to upgrade to ext4.

Thanks bro...currently downloading modacocustomrom...will follow ur guide soon...

still confuse and not understand what custom ROM need I upgrade, look at RotoHammer link hav JMI, JME, JMG..also hav v2, v4...

Mr Benny, which one need I flash?
My device:
European/International/Unbranded Galaxy Tab and unsign

hi all


i am new to this tab

basically i want to use it for video conferecing w my wife

as my wife will be leaving for other countries for 6 months

so i need one that can do video conferencing and skype


do u think tab can do this job well?

Did you convert to Modaco's EXT 4 file system ? If so , Rotohammer rom will overwrite it and give you back RFS file system. Rotohammer or any rom - go for the latest version which is based on JMI firmware

Recommended EXT4 roms based on JMI firmware : Overcome 1.1.3 or Modaco R1. You won't go wrong with either one. I cannot tell you which is better as different people different needs. Similarly to asking which is a better car - a Vios or a City, Accord or Camry, Benz or BMW ??
Spend some time reading up features of the roms and user's comments so you have a better idea

Suggest you view this Youtube and read his post to have a better idea. This guy Ayman Suleiman is helpful ; you can even PM him to clarify

Some observations using the overclock kernel 1.4 Ghz ; I have overclock it to only 1.2 Ghz: Besides noting an increase in UI performance

1. Battery usage gone up considerably, I estimate by 20 %
2. Battery temperature when charging hits up to 41ºC , normally 34-35 max. But I never faced charging problems issues faced by some guys using this O/C kernel

Anyway I have reset it back to 1.0Ghz max . Trying the 1.4 O/C was just a test. It might be more useful for gamers who demand a greater performance
