On the laptop thingy, i was joking... =)  of cos cannot compare between laptop n tab....

On go keyboard, dont know what do u mean by wierd..
in pad mode, u can set it to 3 diff version... 5inch, 7inch, 9/10inch mode..
here's the 10inch mode.. any diff from yours?
And the speed is very responsive..i dont feel any lag at all when typing this reply...
And im on stock 3.1 ....

my personal point of view, custom rom can be quite fun to play with, mainly the rom feels lighter and faster, zero lag when you quickly switch between windows, homescreen and apps..

but sometime, there are bugs... like picture doesnt come up in gallery...
wifi cannot auto connect after waking up... no tactile feedback on keyboard, force close etc...

after trying both overcome and task rom for a while, i decided to go back to stock 3.1, but rooted - so i can remove all bloatwares like social hub etc

but u must at least try these custom roms once.. get the feel of it... diff people hav diff needs and taste... maybe u'll like it...
in my case, malaysian 3.1 stock version DXKL1 is smooth enough for my usage... and best thing bout stock rom... evryting works as it should...  smile.gif
*
for keyboard, my weird meaning the split view.
my tablet casing is the kind that can stand, so i put it about 45 degrees on a flat surface, and i can type like a normal keyboard. it would be best if its a standard layout.
i set it to phone mode, and adjust it to normal layout, but sadly it also lags.

i think i've come to accept that all the keyboard in honeycomb lags so far.
my word/minute is around 80. (according to http://typera.tk/)
so the keyboard cant cope. i've tried pressing two keys, example "abababababab" very fast, on the tab, nothing appear, but on sgs2 or the ipad2, the words appear instantly. i guess its hardware limitation (CPU not fast enough, or maybe inefficient software)

whatever it is, not a big deal, i'll just type slower ;-)


now, about the custom rom things, you start to scare me.
the overcome rom so buggy until you goin back to stock rom?
my wifi always on, no sleep mode, so not a prob, i never use tactile feedback also, so nevermind.

but force close issue and gallery prob is a big thing. any other small bugs?

like i said, it only lags in browser with flash or .gif content.. other apps are working fine..

everything works fine in my overcome.. only thing is that it is using stock HC launcher, not touch wiz launcher.. hence u will loose some widgets and stuff from touchwiz, but no big deal for me except for unable to resize my gallery widget.. wifi all no problem..

force close and gallery issue doesn't exist in my unit.. not till the extend that i need to revert back to stock rom.. anyway, just try out. if u dun like, then revert back to stock.. juz take u about 5 min to switch roms..

only the restoring app/data part consumes time, installing rom is very fast..
*
was wondering, why did you restore to stock 3.1 instead of stock 3.2?

not sure bout other places, but i bought mine (wifi only) from digimall PJ..
i got a free casing and screen protector.. worth at least rm100 i guess...
at that time, other shop dont give out this kinda offer...all of them only says 1499 is for standard set (tab n charger only)
*
i bought mine wifi only for 1499, no screen protector or casing. you're so lucky la to get them. they are really worth around 100, mine is 25+60 for sp and casing.

i dont think the 3g model is worth. if you want data plan, sign with telco and get the tab for cheaper.

@abundai, there is an earphone as well, not just the tab and charger.

and thanks for the video, now i know nearby words cant be typed quickly.
hard to avoid for some words. like "start" "facebook", r&t, o&k are next to each other.
nevermind, its a small issue i need to get used to :-)

also its true that typing in browser lags alot. i tried typing in memo, words appear instantly.
i thought maybe dophin or opera can be better, but also same. sigh, got to live with it.

the text entry blunder aside, this tab is actually quite fun.

i installed back all my apps from sgs2 to my tab in a extremely simple way.
just go to android market using your laptop browser, go to the section under "my library"
https://market.android.com/
there will have a history of all the apps you installed on all your devices, choose the apps you want, and choose to install to tab.
the tab will auto download if its connected to internet. super convenient. did this in my work place, and when back home, my tab already downloaded and installed all the apps and games i clicked from the market. how convenient, no need to use tab, go to market app, search one by one and download manually. haha ^^

finally decided to flash overcome rom now, downloading. about 1 hour remaining.

nw reading the instructions on xda very carefully.
i saw this.

"If you have some form of CWM on your device already, simply download the ROM, and install zip through CWM."

Your tab by default will not have cwm installed. You need to install cwm separately before you can flash the rom zip file
Boot to recovery mode if you see list of menu with select zip file, backup and restore,  clear cache partition etc and title is cwm recovery 5.0.... That means you have cwm.
*
I think mine has it.

the title is

CLockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.4
-reboot system now
-apply update from sdcard
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-install zip from sd card
-backup and restore
-mounts and storage
-advanced
-power off
- +++++Go Back+++++


CLockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.4

-----
so seems like mine is old version, not 5.0 :-(
will it still work?

how come mine has CWM? i never install it before.
i did root using the method in the first post, rooting automatically installs cwm?


and thank you very very much for answering my question.
first time doing this, very nervous.

Yup, u r good to go. Just install .zip file from storage after you copy the file to your directory. After u install, your cwm will be updated. Enjoy..

YEAH!! you're back.
i'm so glad.

i have some questions to ask you.
in the xda post, there is a file called "removed apps download"

if my understanding is correct, inside this has all the apk that is not in the rom.
the user will choose whether to install or not right?

the touch wids launcher, the samsung notification bar with easy toggle, and samsung widgets are not in the rom by default? how about samsung widgets? is the "program monitor" widget TW exclusive?

In his v2.2, all the apps are included except for ebook n launcher.

U will lose some widget but generally everything will be same.. The samsung easy access bar n mini app all there..

As for white button, u will know after u install smile.gifw
*
the only widget i use is the "program monitor", i love it very much, it tells me how many apps is running.
so i will always remember to close all my apps, and wont leave anything running in the background.

is there a way to get it back back? an apk for it or something?

the rom finished downloading, but now waiting for titanium backup, never though it will be so slow, about 70% complete only.


Added on January 19, 2012, 10:28 pmWHAT? that friggin easy access bar is there? the middle arrow in the middle of taskbar? can remove it or not one? i hate it very much

haiz, but if cant nevermind also la.

THis is from the xda forum, have a question here

----------
If you have some form of CWM on your device already, simply download the ROM, and install zip through CWM. Be sure to wipe data to ensure a clean install. **WIPE DATA IS RECOMMENDED FOR 2.2.0 INSTALL!**
However, if you wish to attempt a non-wipe device, follow these instructions: Install zip without data wipe, after reboot you will have tons of FC. Go into manage apps and clear data on Calendar, Calendar Storage, Contacts, Contacts Storage, and Clear Launcher (unfortunately you have to do it if launcher crash). Reboot again into recovery and wipe cache. Reboot and you should be up and running free of FC (thanks to fixfox2 and spiderwolf for the method!)
----------

do you recomend the wipe method or non wipe method. which one you did?

wipe method safer right? but how to wipe?

Well, u need to understand the reason for wiping.

Hc 3.1 n 3.2 is different, different roms also have different settings n files etc. wiping cache, data etc will ensure no conflict in data for both version. If no wipe is conducted, then when incompatibility happens, it will fc.

Anyway, I will recommend wipe, full wipe. U can do so in the recovery mode, follow the menu.

After u copy the zip file. U can unplug the tab and install yr new rom from the comfort on yr bed or sofa.. no need connect usb anymore..

i'm all hyped up and ready to go. cant wait to get it started.

but now waiting for file transfer, sending my songs, videos, and titanium backup stuff etc.
i just select everything in my tab and transfer to a folder in my computer. it says about 50minutes remaining.

haiz...i hate waiting.....hate hate hate....

Actually no need to do so, cwm won't wipe those. I ask u to transfer is just in case only, later it wipe then your data no more you come blame me. Lol

Anyway that ahchong I think is spammer, he had been asking the same question many times and every where..
*
Wha??? i thought wipe = delete everything.
sweat.... -.-"

anyway, safer to backup everything la. later transfer back everything.
now already 50%, i think the remaining transfer time not accurate.
by the way, the usb connection is the MTP kind, not the real usb mount like pendrive, so the time estimation maybe not that accurate.

i'm quite new here, less than a week, so i dun recognize that ahchong. haha.

lol...the unlock screen is useless la, i install "no unlock" to get rid of it first thing when i got the tab.
tab is not like phone, super highly unlikely will accidentally unlock since its not in your pocket.

but strange, after root, when i enable back the lock screen (means disable the "no unluck" app), my lock screen still missing. not that i miss it, but just let you know you are not alone with this "problem" :-)
