Great. How is it so far? Thinking of downloading the 3.0 but network here quite slow.
Are you from 2.0 previously?
Did you do a factory reset before upgrade to 3.0?

is it worth to flash the tweaked rom? its just a stock rom with most samsung utilities removed. does it gives performance improvement? i stop my intention to flash tweaked rom v2 last time due to this consideration. summore need to factory reset before flash, which will bring a lot of hassle coz i have tons of apps already installed in my tab, i dont want to lose them, and also some personal data. its a bit sad because experienced developer did not show interest on tab 7.7. i wish somebody will port chainfire kernel into tab 7.7.

lol, you dont have to re-iterate your point. i have titanium backup pro and just backup everything and sync with google

right after finish installing new rom, reboot - log in to google and let it install all your apps automatically.

then restore titanium backup. the whole process just took 30 minutes of my time  whistling.gif

in term of smoothness and battery saving, worth it
*
for battery saving, use titanium backup to freeze unwanted apps, and setcpu to manage cpu, and juice defender. no need the tweaked rom for that.

for performance, did tweaked rom offer modded kernel? no, still stock kernel right? so if u see slight improvement of performance, means it just works bcoz of Steve remove many stock apps and utilities, which always run in background on shipped rom. and again you can use TB to do this. and, yeah, zipalign and deodexed also favor a bit of performance improvement. but for true performance improvement, it need modded kernel.

log in to google to install all your apps automatically? and it just took you 30 mins? u must be on 4g network then. LOL. or u juts have a handful of apps. and how about free apps? it does not appear on your account's download list. have to search manually in Play Store. and from a bit of research, some apps might not work properly anfter being restored from TB. Steve itself mentioned something like> "do not report a bug if u experience issues after restore apps from TB".

sorry for re-iterate myself, i'm just sharing my thoughts at least for some noob who are not really familiar of what they are intended to do, just follows others. people root, they root, people flash rom, and also they did.

Did the keyboard changed in Tweaked 3.0? It looked different to me. Maybe I just didnt use the stock Sammy keyboard long enough.

TS for Tweaked ROM stated that s/he removed 2D rendering and changed all to GPU rendering. This particular tweak caught my attention. laugh.gif

yeah, a lil of tweak, but not the whole kernel itself. but bear in mind 2D rendering is required for some purposes, now if he removed 2D rendering, it might looks smoother for some reason, but wait until someone stumble into a bug due to lost of 2D rendering.

instead, i favor what he did on the init.d script.

i mean, this is still a good progress. but it will never be a success unless dev touch the kernel. else, it will just be somewhat disappointing.

hi.. new tab 7.7 owner here..

want to ask.. should i root my tab??
and why exactly people root it??
*
to have admin access to system files so that :

1. Can install apps such as Titanium backup ( full backup and restore of all apps n its associated data), adfree to remove those pesky adds, overclock/underclock apps such as setcpu
2. Flash custom roms
3. Install clockworkmod recovery so that you can flash roms, kernel, modem. And do a full rom backup . With CWM anytime your tab failed to boot, can always recover it in recovery mode

yeah, sad that we have a great device, but not much support from Android community.. stock HC itself is laggy and nothing we can do now, but finger crossed that ICS is coming soon and not bring along bugs. i'm quite tired of android dy, but there is no other option now, we just need to bear with it as it grows. the thing i love about this device is the design, portability, display and functions which was why i chosen it over ipad.

Using that will need to sacrifice the premium feeling of holding and touching the metal part. sad.gif

Btw, how much is that?
