Or if I get you correctly, you could just hold down the HOME button and the last few applications (8, I think) will show up in an almost ALT-Tab like manner.

I'm assuming you're using the Modaco kernel? Used to see it when I was using it with the Paul's ROM as well.

Seems to be just an animation glitch. Nothing to be really worried about.

Switching over to overcome, and it was gone.

Hang on... I was just reading about this issue somewhere on XDA... can't recall where.

Let me check it out...

As ever, don't panic... everything can be solved. I'm in the midst of "reformating" and reflashing OC 1.2.0 right now anyway... some minor glitches.

BTW, I assume you were flashing from the Modaco kernel/rom combo -> OC1.2.0?

and you've done the EXT4 conversion?

It'll be a good idea.... a very good idea ;-) Especially if you're planning to use the CWM/EXT4 based ROMS....

However, if you're planning to flash the ROTO-based ROMs, there's not much of a need for it, as it'll be done via ODIN.

But having an external SD card helps in a lot of other situations.... so, spend a few bucks and get a good one.

@hkboey,

BTW, when you said it can't detect your internal SD... there's nothing there?

Could you describe the steps you did? In the reflashing process I mean...

OK... If you're comfortable with losing the data (I assume you've done a nandroid backup already)

Why don't you reboot back into recovery... do a full data wipe (including cache/dalvik, etc)

and reflash OC 1.2 again?

Yeah that's interesting. I remembered reading about this particular issue just late last night, and for the life of me, can't seem to find it now.

I'm doing a clean wipe now and reflashing OC1.2.0 now...

Let me see if I come across it....

Seems to be ok...

How's yours coming along?

Yeah, the reason you got stuck with at the Bootscreen, is because our asian partition ain't included in the intram.fs of the current kernel.

What I suggest you do is to backup your data (sms/pictures/etc... and copy it to your external sd/desktop) as well as your apps (via titanium backup) Do remember to move your titianium backup to your external sd after that! If not it'll be wiped.

Get the pit file from the first post of the Overcome thread & Roto-JME-Full-v4. Do a clean repartition, and just reinstall Overcome 1.2.0 and then the 1.2.2 update (which will have the 2.0 non-OC kernel) If you want to OC, then flash the 2.0 OC/UV kernel after that...

Yup, but now you're still with Kernel 1.0.

So, if you want to upgrade to 2.0, you'll have to repartition as suggested earlier. From what I've heard from alterbridge, this should be a one time thing, as future kernels/ROMs will be based on this partition table.

Hahaha...no worries mate. It's alright to remain at 1.0.

Looking at his latest post, ROM 2.0 might take a while longer. Seem's he's changing direction, and as such... might be a while.

Well, 1.0 with 1.2.x is still kinda nice.

Added on March 12, 2011, 12:02 amYeah, there were a few versions of the kernel that was uploaded/taken down/uploaded again. Don't worry, as long as the kernel number is above #45, which is 1.0, you're fine.

You've got the 2.x version of the CWM, with the Voodoo lagfix/more streamlined ext4 conversion with 2.0, which makes it a bit more smoother and faster.

As to why bassist is facing and you did not... did you by any chance flashed to roto's rom before? I think in the process, your partition image might have match the ones in the later kernels he updated with, which is basically the intram.fs table alterbridge was referring to.

I had the same problem bassist was facing too... which got me to troubleshooting with alterbrigde regarding the kernel.

Ah.... that's why! stock -> 2.0.... craps out! Anyway, hang on, I think alterbridge has finally solved it. Testing his pre-release now. I'll holler when he releases it.

Nono.... ;-)

What I meant... yeah, stock straight to overcome, not just 2.0, usually results in that...

That means, somewhere along the line, like myself, you didn't repartition before. Anyway.... this is going to be moot soon.

The new kernels tested out fine... and theoretically, you should be able to flash it soon, without a hitch. But should you get stuck, you can always re-ODIN back to 1.0...

He's pulled the older kernels now... and should be uploading it soon...

This post has been edited by thepittbull: Mar 12 2011, 12:32 AM

To be honest, I'm not the best person to ask about that... really clueless about that when alterbridge explained it to me too! ;-)

Just his guinea pig who tends to know how to flash and reflash his way outta trouble!

I'm just an enthusiast with no CS/programming background... ;-)

No worries mate. We're all learning too... and we learn by asking what we don't know, right?

I usually just lurk around as most of the other members here are quite knowledgeable and are helpful too. Just that I tend to hang out more at XDA, and with regards to this kernel issue, I was slightly more involved... (just by being his testing guinea pig/giving feedback...) hence I thought I could help those in need.

That's what these forums/user-groups are for anyway, right?

I know he's uploading the newer kernels now... so, why don't you gander over later and reflash to 2.0.1?

Though basically the same thing, it'll help standardise things, whenever anyone needs to give support for issues...

Cheers mate.

In essence, nothing much... just a bux-fix release, to solve the "getting stuck" issues people were facing.

Well, I was testing the kernel with the developer... so I knew he was uploading it! That's why... ;-)

v1.2.3 is just a all inclusive upgrade of 1.2.1 with kernel changes of 2.01 . Note that if you upgrade again to 1.2.3 you will not have the OC feature. The developer explain this in his release of 1.2.3

quote : Version 1.2.3
Included Overcome Kernel v2.0.1 (Non-OC version) to prevent extra flashing for users coming from stock.

[/quote]

[quote=shinzan,Mar 12 2011, 11:28 AM]
So, better stay at 1.2.2 then wait for v2.0.1 ? Non-Oc means?

[/quote]


That's correct! If you've already flashed 1.2.1 with the original 2.0 kernel or the 1.2.2 update successfully, there's essentially no need to flash 1.2.3.

Kernel 2.0.1 is basically Kernel 2.0 with the partition checking disabled. He's re-versioned it to help solved the earlier confusion, due to many uploads and take-downs of different versions of the 2.0 kernel (that had the partition checking enabled, hence causing all the users either getting stuck at the Galaxy Tab screen or with no CWM recovery installed (they just saw the standard/stock Android Recovery (3e) mechanism) -- Basically no sexy robotic voice!! )

Anyway, if you're already on ROM 1.2.1 with a kernel version that's higher than frank@OVERCOME #45 (check in your system info!) you're already there!

how to go to recovery?my battery is draining so fast..i just bought 1 week only..T_T i cannot find where is advance..

[/quote]

Sometimes, it happens. Sometimes, after flashing a new kernel, there may be some corruption of the battery stats, which basically reports incorrect data back to the system. You can either go into recovery and wipe your battery stats OR let your Galaxy Tab complete a few cycles (Full charge to complete discharge for say 2 or 3 times) and it should get resolved.

how to upgrade the overcome latest version? need reflash d rom?

[/quote]

Err... it depends on what you're running on now.

Here's a very good instruction set that XDA member Corodius has written, but you'll have to substitute kernel 2.0.1 for kernel 1.0 and ROM 1.2.3 for 1.2.1

But basically, assuming you're from stock/another ROM:
0. For best results -- best to do this when your tab is 100% charged, as usually some might suggest doing a battery wipe later, to clear any problems with battery-life... and let the Tab go through a full discharge cycle or two after this!
1. Just backup your data and move it to your external SD and/or your PC (just to be safe!)
2. Get the 2.0.1 kernel (best get the OC-UV TAR/ODIN version, which I'll explain why in Point 9!) & the 1.2.3 ROM from the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082
3. Copy the ROM to the root of BOTH your internal and external SDs (The reason is, some can see what's in the external SD but some can't -- me, I can. So this is just to be safe, as you'll delete both these files after this anyway.)
3. Fire up ODIN (if you don't have it, get it here: http://www.apksmash.com/corodius/galaxytab.zip) and flash the kernel (for detailed instructions, refer to corodius' post!)
4. Once it reboots, you should be at the Galaxy Tab bootscreen with the logos, and if successful, you'll here a "sexy robotic voice, as alterbridge86 puts it" This is where the conversion to ext4 takes place. It might take a few minutes for this to happen... mine took about 3-4 minutes. Then it'll go into the animated boot sequence... let it boot completely into ROM.
5. Boot back into recovery, and do a wipe! (Factory is usually recommended, but just do a dalvik/battery wipe as well... remember what I said in Point 0?)
6. Install the Overcome 1.2.3 ROM via install zip from sdcard...
7. Reboot, and wait a while...
8. Walla... Overcome 1.2.3 with the 2.0.1 Non-OC kernel installed!
9. OPTIONAL!! Remember why I asked you to get the OC-UV TAR/ODIN version earlier? Some like myself, don't really like to overclock (OC...in case some people still don't understand the shortform) the journey ends here. BUTTTTT..... some of you might wanna go overclocking, and this is the kernel you need to flash again! See... just saved you some time from needing to download it again in case you wanna over-clock. The ROM comes with the 2.0.1 Non-OC built in!

Have fun!

thanks for the explanation
i am currently in overcome 1.2.2 ..so just wanna know d way to get update to 1.2.3..is it must flash it?

[/quote]

Again, like I mentioned earlier... if you're already on Overcome 1.2.2... when you check on your system information, you should be running a kernel that states frank@OVERCOME #8X or #9X --- basically any kernel with a revision number that's higher than #45...

Then there's absolutely no reason to go to 1.2.3, other than wanting a higher version number! There's absolutely no reason for it. Seriously. ;-)

I know for a fact that the developer's working on Overcome ROM 2.0 as we speak. Just hang in there... it should be here soon. It's in the over right now...

However, if you're really insisting on having the latest ROM number... just get the Overcome 1.2.3 UPDATER (and not the full version which will wipe your system...) and just flash it via CWM. That's it.

Hi ajay,

I do find it interesting that I've just posted quite a long post to guide someone on how to flash in a post just a few above yours, yet, you don't seem to be willing to read up.

You have to take a bit of effort to read and learn, and not just expect to be spoon-fed. I can understand when a person has problems and tries to seek for help. But sometimes one must also take the effort to learn.

Especially in this case where the information is all there within the same page a few of your questions have been posted.

Please don't assume that I'm trying to jump on you. That's not my intention. Flashing ROMs, rooting and all can be fun and rewarding, but it's also a learning experience.

Try to read up, follow through and experiment, and when you get stuck, which we all do, try to give more descriptive information to allow us to help you troubleshoot your problems... not just one line questions and expecting us to know what exactly the problem is...

I would love to help you out, but without effort on your part as well, it can be trying as well. So, now your in stock now....and you want to try a custom ROM like Overcome. That's a good choice. Refer to my post in the previous page, (in my post there, I've included a link to Corodius' excellent page on XDA to guide newbies like yourself on the basics. I suggest you start there) and lets take it from there?

Sorry I can't embed the links here as I'm typing via my Tab here...

Have fun flashing.... :-)

That would be a good idea... although the last time I had a problem that required them to replace the main-board, I was already on the Modaco ROM, and they didn't even questioned it... took them 5 working days to get back my Tab from that problem....

Nah no worries, mate...

In theory you should unroot it before you send it back to a Service center. Officially it invalidates the warranty, though... so be safe and just unroot it. Good luck mate.

I'm glad you're happy with the TAB as it is, as it's an amazing device! :-)

Added on March 12, 2011, 9:40 pmThat is indeed a loooooong way... but then again... clean system after that! ;-)
