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!

When I check the senheng catalog. It say GPS and A-GPS ready. With price tag of RM 1199.

I'm using Launcher Pro. Works well with its widget & nice homescreen with scrollable dock.

I won't trust those catalog. You could try & purchase 1. When found out it's not, ask for 3G unit replacement for free else bring it to tribunal & complaint thru media....
