Great. So did you change your rom to a ext4 based fs ?
Just a reminder - if you ever upgrade to a later version of Rotohammer - your FS will revert back to RFS unless he has change/or have another EXT4 based version

I have updated POST#3 with a quick brief guide to rom flashing, kernel changes and Overclocking. Any errors spotted please feedback

Currently bluetooth's option did not work with my Tab...cannot conncet to other device...any oppinion ?

What ROM are you on now ?

You need to install the free app Bluetooth FIle Transfer if you wish to transfer files between your TAB to other bluetooth devices eg smartphones, PC, MAC etc. My TAB can work well connecting and exchanging files with my other Android smartphone Dell Streak, Windows Mobile HD2, MacBook Air and my iMAC.

To have successful connection to other BT devices :
Settings/Wireless & Network/Bluetooth - make sure Make Device Visible/or Discoverable is selected

If i'm not mistaken, my Tab using RotoHammer JMI v2...should i upgrade/change to another ROM ?

Before this, i can send files thru bluetooth without having to install that apps...

So sir benny, can i proceed with this ROM ? - http://android.modaco.com/content/samsung-...online-kitchen/

My 2 sen. Switch to Overcome 1.13. Bluetooth is still weak (hard to detect) but once paired it works well. I think the JMx modems have got problems. You'll find that many including myself switched from Modaco rom to Overcome because of connectivity issues .

It is true Overcome seems to have better reviews vs Modaco R1. Anyway I have tried both and just for my own needs, I am comfortable with Modaco R1 as I can baked my own choices in his online kitchen. One won't go wrong using Overcome 1.1.3

As for now, is it i have to download Overcome v1.1.3, then proceed with the installation or other steps i have to do first ?

Since you're already on modaco kernel, place the the overcome zip file in external sdcard. Go into recovery mode and install the zip from sdcard. Once done ! , reboot. I actually use Quick Boot from market for going into recovery and switch off/reboot instead of pressing the buttons.

Will try it ASAP when my Tab fully charged about 20 minutes to go...will update soon

Can the alarm ring when the phone is off? THe original alarm in the tab will not ring when the phone is off...

TRUE it will not ring . I think most ( at least all of mine ) Android phones is like this ; it is different from those normal Symbian , some Windows phones. I know that even the newer HTC Androids - Wildfire, Desire , Desire HD also same feature. Maybe there is a app to activate it - anyone knows ?

sorry to interrupt. a question on behalf of my friend.. can sgt's calendar (original rom) be synced with google calendar? if yes, how to do it? note: i will pass this answer for her to follow. thanks in advance

YES. Infact default sync is with Google.
Launch Calendar : Menu/Settings/Calendars sync/select auto sync . And of course under Manage accounts - must have a gmail address

TechnoBuffalo comparison between the TAB and the iPAD. Some of you might have seen this before. Having used the iPad ( a 3g 64GB model ) for 8 months - I must say a direct comparison between this two is not exactly fair. But people just like to compare. It'd be a more practical comparison if is between the latest Galaxy TAB 10.1 vs iPAD ( better ipad 2) as bothg uses similar range screen display

Anyway the comparison is academic, I'd say. Winner - is subjective deopends on one needs for the tablet. The reviewer here awards it to the TAB
If I were to also do such a comparison, I will award it too to the TAB. I'd say the more I use the Tab the more I like it. Sadly , I couldn't say it for the iPad - the more i use it, the more i get disappointed. Having a strong liking for Apple 's Macs, MacBooks friends of mine were surprised by my apparent dislike of the ipad and iphones series - anyway like I say is just me as these gads just don't meet my needs ; not that they are not good

Impressive..Can Tethering.

Easy setup

7" SGT is still the best looking tab (thou ez scratchable)

thats why even after CES2011 and MWC2011 i still cant lock my target..

How do you guys carry your Tab's?
I only know one person who uses the Tab, which is my auntie.
Obviously she puts it in her hand bag.

How about men?

I actually really like this.
I'd rather have this over a smart phone.

Why would someone who wants a smart phone(Samsung Galaxy II, HTC;s ) over this? I'd feel more satisfied browsing and doing work on a 7inch screen rather than a inch.

well the size of tab just nicely fit all my short and long pants (without any casing). So i keep my tab in my pocket all the time xD
Sometimes i wear blazer, inside my blazer got a big pocket, i just keep it there
