Guys I'm planning to buy SGT for myself since I will be away in Italy for 2 weeks next month. Hoping that it will serve me well in terms or portability and surfing on the go.

Any advice for me before I buy it? I have asked around in Prangin Mall Penang and one of the sellers in the ground floor offer me RM1500 with 1 year warranty (3G + wifi version)

Suggest you don't! The P1010 which is the Galaxy Tab Wifi, is inherently different internally compared to the Phone/3G-enabled P1000 Galaxy Tab! For example, the 3G Tab for short, uses Samsung's Hummingbird CPU while the P1010 uses TI's OMAP chip. So while on the outside they look similar, it's inherently different hardware sets. Similarly not all GSM Tabs are the same, like those sold in Latin America, the P1000L are different too, from those we use...

Again, the Overcome was designed for GSM-based P1000 Tabs only. So please don't flash the Overcome ROM/kernel on the P1010 Wifi-only model.

Just want to check if anyone have the same problem as mine when try to download from xda ? I try to post but not allowed so how to reach 10 postings ? This is really frustrating especially all the updates need to be downloaded from there eg. kernel 2.1.4

For the moment there are no plans to offer an updater file for 1.6.0 to 1.6.1, as too many system apps were changed within, in fixing the issues that arose from the partial translation and shoe-horning of the various locales.

I wouldn't dare claim any credit, as all the hard work was done by alterbridge86. I just help in testing and troubleshooting, and of course the guides. My role would be considered minimal in the overall development work... basically, chief guinea pig, that's all... ;-)

I've never come across such an issue. Was this an issue with other ROMs as well? One way to test would be to restock and check it while it's in the stock ROM. It most likely is a hardware problem if it still happens while in stock ROM, as the JMK-stocksafe.zip file is basically a stock European (dutch-based I presume) with just the protected bootloaders removed. Best way to diagnose... backup your data, of course... :-)

Thanks for your opinion and advice.
This problem doesn't appear after flash with any custom ROM.
It only happen after i restore all the apps through Titanium Backup.
I think this problem is something related with apps, just unsure which app cause to this.
If reinstall or uninstall app one by one (around total 100 apps), may consume a lot of time.
If neccssary, will find someday to execute this.

Hmmm, that's interesting. Did you make sure to only backup only the user apps and data only, and not system apps. It's never a good idea to backup and restore system apps at all....

Do let me know what you find out...

Gps module is there.

You should know how to differentiate GPS and aGPS.
Many people assume agps is not "real" gps which is totally wrong.

Urggh.. i bought a SGT P1000BUJI3/BUJI4. Should've read here first. In any case here's some question.

Since its not in the first post, from google its a voda unit? but not sure if US/UK. I would have to patch to unlock the bootloader?

Do i need permanent root or just temp will do? Used z4root. Interested in converting to Ext4 and deciding should i go Overcome or MoDoCo. Any comments?

I've backup using TB with all user apps + system data. Read earlier post that i shouldn't backup system data? Or just shouldn't restore system data?

Thx in advance. Look at the time.. time flies when messing with tab biggrin.gif

Well, there's no harm to permanently rooting your phone, save for the debate about warranty of course, which I won't get into here... anyway, with regards to Overcome vs Modaco, well, I'm a tad biased towards Overcome, but here's my thoughts. Paul's Modaco ROM is a solid, stable ROM that is great for people that want a decent, optimised ROM for day to day use based on the stock version. However, there's not much updates that's being done on it.

Overcome, on the other hand, can be viewed like the cutting/bleeding edge development of Galaxy Tab ROMs... constantly updated and tweaked, with rapid-fire updates, which sometimes have some small, niggling bugs due to the constant tweaking for maximum performance and efficiency. However, don't take it to mean that it's not stable. It's solid enough for me for day to day use, to the point that I can even UNDERCLOCK the CPU to save battery life, due to its smoothness. I'm running at 800Mhz now but gives me the performance of Modaco running at 1.2Ghz.

So it's a trade-off that you'll have to decide for yourself. A rock-solid, no-fuss Modaco ROM or an extremely fast and inherently tweakable Overcome ROM, albeit with the small, minor bugs (that most Malaysians would probably not notice.) BTW, the latest Overcome ROM is based on the North Asian Froyo 2.2.1 base as compared to the European 2.2 Froyo base that Modaco is running. Both this ROMs are permanently rooted anyway, so the question of to root your Tab temporarily or permanently is moot when running these ROMs. :-)

(Anyway, should you choose to try out the Overcome ROM, do remember to grab the installation guide as well as the tips & tweaks guide that I've written. It's available on the first post in the Overcome thread at XDA. Just follow the installation guide exactly and you shouldn't have any issues....)

As to Titanium Backup... here's a constant rule of thumb that I'll always advise users. Backup and restore User Apps (and data) Only! NEVER EVER BACKUP SYSTEM APP & DATA, MUCH LESS RESTORING THEM! Restoring system apps and the data, is a sure-fire way to mess your system up when playing with customised ROMs! Anyway, @ashx: it's alright if you've backed-up "all user apps + system data", just hit the "Restore missing apps with data) only and NOT the "Restore missing apps + all system data"... next time, just hit the second button "Backup all user apps" only! :-)

Anyway, good luck and as ever, cheers and have fun... :-)

P/S... here's a couple of post-scripts that I wanted to add... Firstly, the 3G Galaxy Tab (the P1000 and its variants) does have a GPS module with A-GPS functionality... A-GPS is essentially Assisted-GPS which basically means that the devices that support AGPS functionalities are capable of using external data sources (such as your mobile data or wifi to augment its capabilities to triangulate/lock on to your location faster) As to the Galaxy Tab Wifi Only model (the P1010 and its variants) has different internals, with Phone Arena quoting that it has a GPS module while the US Page for the Tab Wifi, doesn't mention it at all. So, I'm not sure if it has it or not.

Secondly, have always wanted to thank Uncle Benny for his fine work in getting the Tab thread started and for maintaining it so well! Kudos on shepherding it to a V2 milestone! Cheers Uncle Benny!
