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!

camera screen too small.....when got larger and bigger screen can view on the spot is always better.

Sorry again, if I want to go back to default factory/original ROM
what should I do? Where to get the original ROM?

since got my tab..not play with iphone anymore....
but annoy by it random restart...

One word - SUCKS. It is slow, lack of features. I'd suggest you look at Dolphin HD, XScope, Miren or Opera : these 4 browsers are way ahead of it. All free try out yourself

No problem on mine terminal. I am using Jack Palevich Terminal Emulator. My tab is now on Overcome 1.6.4
Why don't you delete terminal and reinstall it

In my opinion, quadrant scores is not a reflection of the phone real performance. Use it only to compare the phone performance when you change roms. Comparing it against other phones is not realistic
I'd say 2200+ is a good score. If you wish to compare my Atrix scores 2800, Incredible S 2250, Xperia Arc 2100

I always like to quote my previous Galaxy S recorded 2700 to 2800 but it loses out on practical terms GREATLY and MISERABLY against lower score phones - HD2 on Android, NexusOne, Dell Streak , these 3 phones averaging 1800 to 2100

You can flash Overcome Froyo 1.6.4 Froyo

If you want to flash back to original stock rom - find the original firmware files at www.samfirmware.com . You should have kept a record of these before you flash OC 2.0 beta. If you didn't keep a record of these, go back to your seller and ask them.

However do note when you flash 2.0 beta - you have change the kernel version and  file system to EXT4. When you flash back the stock firmware files, the kernel remains the changed version

i also have a problem with installing kies version 2.0, but mine is once its downloaded it gives me an error message that it cant finish the installation. tried it couple of times even after i uninstalled my older kies.

by the way my suggestion is that you stick with you'r original kies u got with you'r phone. there isn't much of a difference and its working fine in terms of connection.

Added on May 20, 2011, 7:12 amjust an observation regarding charging the battery. once you charge the battery to 100% you better take it off other wise it's not effective to let it go on; the reason is i think once it reaches the 100% mark the battery stops charging and relies on the internal juice. different than other batteries i tried with my other phones.

i just left my tab charging over night 6 hours and already reached 100%. but then i unplug and plug it back and the battery is like 80% and start charging back and thats all when the phone is off.

by the way i already have calibrated my battery.

No wonder la, I budak kecil ma..

Wiped market data and cache again this morning. Will monitor and feedback if I face any issues again

BTW, Benny bro, I think I still need MarketAccess.

After numerous wipes of Market data and cache, I still intermittently get issues like updates to my paid apps not appearing, e.g. latest incident being latest update to Voodoo Control Plus not appearing under 'My Apps' unless I run MarketAccess to emulate US SIM and then relaunching Market app to check.

As always, I will restore back to 50216 (digi) after I am done with the Market app. No big issue, quite used to running MarketAccess already by now.

Definitely abnormal. Theoretically life should be better than 3G/Wifi as 3G data enabling consumes more power than wifi
3G/Wifi normal usage can last up to at least 8 to 10 hours, depending on how much internet access on 3G. Read page 1 FAQ on some links on battery life experiences

Hi guys, after several days of searching the net to make my adhok network work i have stumbled on a couple of good websites to solve the issue:

Ps: this solution is for anyone having the latest rooted gingerbread 2.3.3 rom and wants to connect to his laptop internet connection:

(A). u need to get the wpa_supplicant that is working on gingerbread, i got one working and its from the beloved xda forums( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058319)
     
      1. Make sure ur tab wifi is turned off.
      2. Make a copy of the original wpa_supplicant in case things go
          wrong. use root explorer and go to system/bin u will find the file
          there.
      3. Now unzip the file got from xda, and replace it with the original
          wpa_supplicant.
      4. turn on ur wifi and u should see any adhok network.

(B). Now this is the most important part inorder to get an internet connection working on ur tab u better download a small app for that instead of creating a manual adhok connection on ur pc. i learned this from this website thx to him ( http://pal-talks.blogspot.com/2011/04/miss...-laptop-to.html ).

The app is called connectify u can get it from this link ( http://www.connectify.me/thanks.html?v=2.2.0.18699#basic ).

                1. download app. go through the instructions there u can use
                    ur PC Lan network or wifi connection, i am using Lan
                    so i chose that.
                  2.Now u should be able to see the connection on ur Tab
                    and able to connect to internet.

I hope benny u can use this and add it to ur first posts in case anyone needs it. u can't believe how tough to get a complete tutorial to make this work.
