No. Your bootloader should remain the same. You can flash away with all 3.2.x roms.
Just DON'T install a leaked ICS rom or you will get a new bootloader... The cooked ICS roms are OK, just not the leaks...

No problem. You can always go back to factory un-rooted just by installing a stock rom.in most cases anyhow. Let me know if you have any issues with the install.

Thank you moscow for your help. I think to install and test your rom. At the moment i am in thor recovery . For first i must install your ra recovery 3.15 and then follow the rom instruction . Do you think that the battery could be better with your rom instead taboonay?
I must post here because i haven't reach 10 post for development section

Well, you can always post over at androidtabletgeeks. We don't have such limits. It's just a new site is all.
As with battery power, here is what I know.
Your battery life, is pretty much controlled by the kernel that is being used. This is not considering apps, and running processes which also use battery. But more so by the kernels ability to overclock (OC), and at the same time, use undervoltage (UV). UV is where you save a lot of battery when only concerning the OS itself. This is purely kernel controlled.
The object, or holy grail, as I say, is to find the lowest amount of UV based on CPU speed. At least UV enough to where you still have stability on the tab. Find the lowest amount of power required.
Here-in lies the problem. You only have 4 different kernel Dev's to choose from. And guess what? They all own a500's. And because of this, most of the newer kernels work fine on an a500, but with the 501, we get what is called 3g freeze or sleep of death. Both requiring re-boots. Sometimes you may go for a day without getting it. But it will happen if you use your 3g often enough. Some people aren't familiar with this, and just ignore it sometimes thinking the rom or app is messed up.
As with good kernels to use, I can say this;
1. Stock kernel (GPL compliant)
2. RichardTrip's 3.4 villain+ (current in rom) (GPL compliant)
3. Drelisdee earlier version kernel (GPL compliant)
4. Thor2002ro current version (untested and non-GPL compliant)
As with battery power, well, I can't tell you if Taboonay 2.2 compares. I believe Vache uses a RichardTrip kernel, just not aware which one. You can always experiment with kernels, as long as you follow the correct procedures.
As in roms, one would hope the newest version of HC would require a little less power to function. Just watch for the 3g freeze, usually when in the browser.

Thank youv for your answer-
But if i use your rom like it is flashed , i haven't need to install other kernel ..
I am very pratic on galaxy s2 but not so much on a501. I am afraid todo mistake or wrong flash with the possibility of use a501 like
A paperweight.......

Don't worry. Nobody has ever made a paperweight from my roms
Just make a recovery backup of your current system through RA Recovery. Typically this generally provides some safety. I've never known a recovery image to be bad when running HC 3.2.x. It happens on rare occasions.
Only lately on the ICS "betas" have I seen some corrupted stuff.

Thanks for the comments!!!
It is probably because you are missing the 2 library files that are necessary for polaris Office to run.
I am at work now and don't have access to my files, so do the following;
Search the threads here at XDA, as you should be able to find a polaris office zip somewhere in either the dev, general or q&a forum. I remember putting one up some time ago (non flashable).
or
Download one of the Honeycomb 3.2.x roms that include polaris office, open the zip (do not extract it), then I belive in the lib folder, you will find the 2 polaris office lib files. They are easy to locate. Copy these into the same folder on your tablet. Then reboot and they should work.
As with DNLA apk, If you look near the bottom of my Rom post, you will see a link to a zip for the Acer System Apps. Unzip to your PC, and copy the apk you want, and also the Odex file. Copy to your tablets system/app folder, the reboot. Should work.

Thanks. Tor polaris office i have already solved yesterday Night, tor dnla i Will try tonight.
The only thing that gas a little pag is when i open the pdf file. Perhaps is because i haven't formatted the sdcard.
Usually when i flah a new rom with the galaxy s2 i formato also the internal ad. Here on iconia tab id i want clear all the internal sd card like when i bought it ' ho i fan do it?because i ha ve some directory or the other rom. Is there a formato tor the internal sdcard?

Well, generally, I use my Win7 to format my Ext SD Card to FAT32. As with PDF files, I run Docs to Go full version, and haven't noticed any issues.
If you format your SD Card, make sure you copy the contents to your PC First. Personally, I have 2 extra SD cards that I use. Always nice to have an original

With the surge of some ROMs for our devices, and though they're related between each other to a certain degree (save for CM7), the inevitable question surges: which one has the upper hand? The stock ROM is vastly improved since 1.06 and Ganjaman's add-ons make it more mature, the MoDaCo ROM has the advantage of having been the first modded ROM, CyanogenMod7, thanks to Apache14's work, has made a stellar appearance and we actually get the official updates (such as the ones that mad-murdock presented us yesterday), Corvus has been updating his new ROM quite rapidly and it works nicely, like Fuji-Vega does... We're lucky that we're not in want of possible choices! But which is yours?
Thread moved to General.
For me corvus. It's so quick and stable, and is the only one, where's my usb 3g huawei running. Did I told you, that it's really fast?
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
I agree totally, corvus is so quick. I can't wait until it can be combined with mad murdoch's HC tweaks, the vega will be Ninja then!

@logseman
great idea for a thread. I'm considering starting a thread on a similar line, thought id check in and avoid toe treading and see if there is a need for it.
As a newb to vega android modding, its great that there is such a wealth of info and advice, but sometimes its not clear or comprehensive (at least in one place! )
I'd like to run a "what vega setup is best for me" thread. The aim being to allow users to show exactly what setup they are running, how it performs, pro's and cons, bugs etc.
By using a standard template, we can see what works and why. We can make direct comparisons between setups without searching through threads for hours.
Users can then copy setups and try if they think they like it. Might also provide devs useful concise feedback to help them progress roms / kernels etc.
If it already exists, feel free to point me in the right direction whilst mocking my newbe stupidity, but ive read and re read the main threads and can't see it.
If you're reading this and think it would be useful, let me know, with suggestions and i'll get the ball rolling.
I.A.O.
Edit: if you want to help or collaborate, pm me.
I'm not sure how setting up a "standard configuration" would be of benefit. Primarily because of two issues: first, the same custom ROM can have dramatic performance differences between one device and the other (I am a ROM tester for Galaxy S, people claim battery lives of 4 days which I've never heard about); and second, the point of Android is that it actually doesn't force any standardisation as of now: I don't see why users would tend to a certain set up which has been done by another person instead of experimenting themselves.
Don't take me wrong, I appreciate that you take interest in this thread, but I fail to see the point of your suggestion. Android has no predefined "set-ups" as far as I know.
Yeah, i get your point. For me too its all about modding and tweaking. But i also got the impression that some people just want to get there device configured in a way that works for them quickly.
Im certainly Not saying lets all set up the same, if we wanted that we'd just bite the apple right!
I just think it would be useful to see at a glance what is working for people. I.e - "i need a rom with no lag on my vega - ah looks like cm7 ttrc2 has lag issues", without having to read 178 pages to find out.
I guess it would be more like an "at a glance" guide to roms for each device.
I used Modaco since i got my Mobii/Vega, but yesterday i flashed clockwork recovery and started using Titanium backup for real, so now i am testing some ROMs and sofar i like fuji-vega the most, fast and smooth, only some lag in appmenu when i have the device rooted.
I spent a long time using mcr8 eventually with buzz kernel but I then got bored and tried cm7 which I loved but just could not stand all the lag when scrolling etc.
I am now using corvus which seems to work well for me. I hope to switch back to cm7 when it improves a bit.
I love CM7 on my phone and would love it on the Vega, but the wifi troubles it has at this moment on the Vega made me switch to first Modaco and than Corvus. The only bad thing I can say about Corvus is that I personally would prefer Gingerbread green icons aboive the blue ones in Corvus

I am in a similar position to you. I have only installed Modaco R8 and not really used Titanium Backup nor Clockwork Recovery. I find R8 lags after extended use (requiring a reboot) so I am interesting in changing to Corvus. I have a few questions.
What is the best way to move from Modaco to Corvus?
Can I use Clockwork Recovery/Titanium to ease the pain of transition?
How do I install CWR?
Is it best to go back to stock and then install Corvus? If so, will I lose all of my customisations?
Thanks in anticipation of a response.

You would want to wipe when doing an install of a different rom anyway, so you will lose settings, most will be restored by Ti Backup though.
> I would do a Ti Backup of everything, then a nandroid backup before flashing.
Sorry, how do I do that? I have Modaco R8 with Titanium Backup installed. How do I use Ti to "backup everything", what is a "nandroid backup", and how do I restore stuff after installing a new ROM?
Cheers.
you can find this information quite easily by searching
ti backup press menu>batch>backup all user apps and system data
Then after installing cwm (download zip open
cd /path/to/folder
./install.sh for mac and linux (make sure to downlod my fixed scripts second post)
or
click install.bat for windows
then click recovery app use volume buttons and power to select backup and restore)
wipe data instal rom
ti backup from market
menu>batch>restore all user apps and system data (modaco is similar to corvus so should be safe to restore everything if things start crashing repeat install and untick all apps that are already installed in ti backup)
there you go you have transitioned
sorry if this sounds patronising it sounded like you were a noob so i included great detail
p.s. this will all become second nature after a while
hmmm atm i'm using CM7, and after switching to launcher pro it's so fast !!
adw launcher is such a crappy launcher (sry, my opinion)
anyways, my flash is pretty laggy due to the unstable nightly builds, I mean they're not in the fully power.. but I will wait, <3 cyanogem
I wish we had the HC update soon, rly =(
Ive been using Fuji-Vega since april and applying updates when they become available.
Really happy with it and cant complain. Does what i need it to do.
Very quick to use.
Corvus5 for me right now. it's stable and fast as, with oc I have been using cm7 until a few days ago and will no doubt give the latest a shot before the weekends gone, it now has oc kernel
I can't use custom ROMs because nor CM neither Corvus doesn't let my Huawei e150 connect to internet. When I'll solve this problem CM'll my choice.
CM7 for me. I've tried a few but CM7 just feels/looks slicker.
Will there ever be a fully working honeycomb rom?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
Moscow Desire's Alexandra II r4 ROM OC/UV Kernel
NO Random Re-boots. 'Nuff said! And no more Display freeze..
OC Speeds to 1600. RTrip's version 3.4+ kernel. Solid Stability with A501 internal 3g.
BATTERY MODS Available. See 3rd post below!
Note: This is for the Acer A501, and not the A500.
500 users can run this, but you will need to modify the build.prop file to reflect Wifi-only. (if you get an occasional Please Insert Sim, remember it's for an A501)
Why do you want to use this Rom?
1. It's stock Android. 3.2. No tweaks to the Apks except for graphics.
2. It's overclocked Kernel is by one of the best.
3. Longer battery Life in comparison with normal and overclocked speeds. Better than Stock.
Second release based on Acer_A501_4.027.15_COM_GEN1. Kernel HoneyVillain-3.4+ kernel based on longer battery life with OC speed with undervoltage. Min, 216, Max 1646. Modded nav buttons with a light blue theme.
First release retired due to restrictions enforced at XDA on using a certain Dev's code.
For Credits, I would like to thank:
KJY2010- for giving me the insight to do this, and actually publish it. A wealth of knowledge as he got me going.
Thor2002ro - You're the man
Civato- I stole some buttons dude! And man, I'm still stealing...
RichardTrip- Use of his kernel (src link on his thread)
JaeKar99- I ripped off your boot animation.
Krid of-k - Base Battery Mod
And for all the Dev's that made all this possible. We cannot thank you enough.
First off, this is my first modded rom. So I would appreciate any feedback. Some things need improved, and will be, in the next couple of weeks. But the core 3.2 is unmodified, except for the System UI and Framework-res, to allow button mods and a couple of other things.
What works.... everything that is included. This includes GPS. Initial start took 1.5 minutes to lock on to most sat's for precise loction in Moscow. If you try it from your basement or toilet, well, good luck.
What doesn't work, nothing that I can see.
What's removed:
Just about everything Acer.
All games.
There's still 1 or 2 annoying things that I will take care of soon.
Apps Installed:
Other than the usual SU and Busybox...
AdFree
Asus Weather
Bluetooth File Transfer
CPU Master Free
File Manager HD
ES File Explorer
Hackers Keyboard
MX Video Player w/codecs
Polaris Office
Open VPN
SDrescan
Language Support:
Cestina, Dansk, Deutsch, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Nederlands, Norsk Bokmal, Polish, Portugese, Suomi, Svenska, Russian, 1 Arabic and 4 Asian (don't ask)
Installation:
Advise you upgrade your CWM recovery to Thor202ro's latest. So much easier.
1. Wipe User Data
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe DalviK
4. Wipe Battery Stats
Note: Optional Formatting.
If you really want to remove EVERYTHING in Internal Memory, at this point, go to Backup and Restore. Select "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media). Enable this setting by selecting it. By default, it is disabled. Then proceed to the formatting steps. This will format the Entire Internal Memory when you proceed.
If you want to save all the things like downloaded files, apps, pdf's etc, then DO NOT enable this toggle, and just proceed to the Format steps.
Select Go Back, Goto Mounts and Storage
1. Format System
2. Format Cache
3. Format Dalvik
4. Format Flexrom
Select Go Back and select Install from Zip File (for those of you who refuse to update their recovery, select Install zip from SD)
Select Alexandra II r2 A501 .zip
NOTE: you may get an Offset error xxxx. Ignore it. Seems common these days. After installation is complete, Go Back, and Reboot system.
You'll see a small "flash" during the Acer Logo. This is normal, as it is the custom kernel loading. Also, when running for the first time, you will get an "OK" prompt as the "Acer" (cough cough) installer finishes. One of the things I hope to delete in the future.
For Overclocking, use CpuMaster and set your CPU speed. 1504 is what I run the most. Set your governor to "on demand" or "Interactive" for longer battery life. Set to "Apply at Boot". If you don't like CPUMaster, then you are free to uninstall it, and Use SetCpu or PimpMyCpu.
Disclaimer:
You flash this Rom at your own risk. If you follow the instructions exactly, there is no reason why you should have issues installing the Rom. If you feel you are smarter than the instructions, and can save a little time by bypassing some steps, don't come crying. Figure it out.
Titanium Backup users, I don't want to hear it. And this goes for anybody else running 2.3 Gingerbread apps on Honeycomb. It is much better, to download an app fresh. Google loves you.
This is a first release, and of course, all comments are welcome, good or bad.
DOWNLOAD
What's coming next? I will continue working on the theme, and incorporate some of the newer updates. If I can light a fire in the 501, I will.
Change Log
Third Release V4
Changed kernel to Villain 3.4+ due to 3g screen freeze. A501 is not so forgiving to overclocked kernels as the A500. The internal 3g is very sensitive to system board voltages. At this time, the version 3.4+ kernel offers stability, increased speed, and increased battery power. Stability is the most important.
Second Release
Changed kernel to Villain 3.7 due to XDA policy on using Thor kernel
BATTERY MODS
Ok. Here are some Battery Mods.
If you see a battery mod you would like me to add, send me a link and I will check it out and include the images in a new mod. I'm definately not a good Photoshop person, but we'll see.
1. All Blue Circle type. Remains Blue until the very end. Download
2. All Blue Circle type, however changes to warning colors at 20% battery Download
3. All Blue Circle only Dots. Download
4. Multi Colored Circle. Download
5. Return to original Alexandra II Rom type. Download
NAV Button Mod
Return to Stock HC 3.2 Nav Buttons Download
This should not effect Battery Mods.
Wipe;
Cache
Dalvik Cache
You can check the image below to see the Circular Mods. Dotted Circular means just that.... Dotted.
To Install Battery Mod Only:
1. Download and Copy the zip to your SD card.
2. Reboot your Tablet into CWM Recovery (Vol- and PWR)
3. Wipe ONLY the following;
a. Cache
b. Dalvik Cache
c. Battery Stats. (Important to do this)
"go back"
4. Select "Install Zip from SD
5. Choose the battery mod zip you downloaded, and confirm.
When finished, re-boot the tablet. Note that it will take a minute or 2 to finish re-booting.
WARNING: These Battery and Button Mod's are for the A501_4.027.15_COM_GEN1 base Rom ONLY. It is possible they will work on other roms with the same base Rom, but I will not promise this.
Good job bro! I knew you could get it out by the end of the week. Just had to increase alcohol and coffee intake!
Looks great. More lovin' for the A501!
Where are all the people that were complaining about no roms for this device now?
nice to see new dev here for a501. downloading right now.
happy new year everyone
edit: one more thing, i think you should mention one or two reasons why people want to use this rom

Goooood joooob. Good job. Gooooooooooooood joooooooooob - do you hear Hancock here? anyway good job for us A501 users not loved by the devs. Hope to see it more and more improved (but does it really need to be improved) even though the over-hyped ICS is knocking on the Iconia door.

Not much has been done for the 501, this is running a custom kernel, and is themed.
So quite a bit different than your typical stock ROM
Region: XAR (USA)
Build date: 17-01-2012
This is, as the title says, a Stock 3.2 ROM, CWM flashable, provided as-is, no support for this stock ROM.
CWM Recovery flashable (with Stock Kernel)
Installing overwrites the /system partition so be sure to backup your apps.
Deodexed
Zipaligned
Rooted + busybox (most recent files + zero issues with Superuser)
Also works great with _motley's kernel for Honeycomb 3.2.
Since it is a deodexed ROM, the first boot will take a while. Give it at least 5-10 minutes.
For backup, do a Nandroid to backup your existing ROM with CWM (How-to here)
For a fresh install (better safe than sorry) please use the Wipe data/Factory Reset from CWM Recovery and then flash the zip. When it boots, it will start the setup wizard like you just bought it.

what region is XAR?
Thanks so much though, this seems to work much better than overcome for me. The ebook app still doesn't work and I'm not sure why :/

XAR is USA. Before I debloated my unit (currently using this firmware), Ebook opened normally, although I quit as soon as it opened so I don't know.

What do you prefer this or [ROM][ICS][P7300/P7310]Unofficial CyanogenMod 9[2012-02-10]?
I'm looking for something thats stable and quick. I've tried the lastest Overcome and found to be the best IMO, but it constantly crashes especially with the browser.

If you are aiming for something stable (with Camera working, compass and everything) then look no further. If you want to play with something more advanced, but with some little bugs here and there then go with CM9 or the Beta. I hope that helps you out.
Edit: As of 2/22/12, Overcome is once more based on official firmware. It is fine now.

Why is this ROM so large?
nirogu325,
I am looking to save space on my 16GB GTab here, and I was going to put this in my storage as a backup means to go back to stock (rather than keeping a 1.3GB nandroid on board).
Just curious why is this ROM coming in at 396180 KB while the ICS ROMs (like Galaxian soup) come in less than 170000KB when you include the GApps zip size?
I notice the Overcome ROM is pretty big as well (on par with the stock rooted).
Is ICS just that much leaner than the Honeycomb ROMs?
Thanks!

You hit the nail in the head. You've to take into consideration the whole TouchWiz layer (apps, framework, widgets & more) which weights more. ICS is a very lightweight and optimized OS when compared to the rushed OS that's Honeycomb.
Edit: Although if I were you I'd have this ROM as a backup measure. It is the most stable version for Honeycomb, had it for months without issues.

Like I said - I am just looking for excuses to clean off my internal storage. I figure I can put this flashable zip on the tablet for emergency use, as opposed to leaving a 1.3GB Nandroid backup of the tablet on there (the only thing I would lose is the setup work I did to get all my apps on the device before I rooted and did the Nandroid).
This saves me 1GB (roughly)!
Thanks

No problem! 1GB is still 1GB in this non-expandable tablet!
I am planning on using this until ICS is 100% stable.
Is the battery life at least the same if not better then out of the box stock?
It should be but I was just curious...battery life is the most important feature I need.
Thanks

This is, as the title says, a stock ROM. None of the added features touch battery life. Go ahead and flash with peace of mind.
Hiya, i am in the UK England and have a Samsung Galaxy Apollo GT-5801 which was on orange but unlocked
and now fully rooted using SuperOneClick it's currently running stock ROM and no kernels have been flashed.
so it's basically just rooted.
i have been reading in depth about flashing kernels/roms and seen everyone always saying make a backup
with clockworkmod recovery,
well now i am stuck the apollo according to clockworkmod website and ROM manager doesn't have any
supported application for this model of phone. every time i go to install via rom manager it says sorry this
phone is not supported unless you have installed clockworkrecovery by some other method.
So can someone tell me how i can get Clockworkmod recovery onto my phone with the custom rom it already has?
this way i can make a backup of my nand/phone and be happy that i can just restore it if and when needed.
not really interested in using custom roms i don't want to mess with that side i am happy with the phone as it is
just i wish when holding down power + volume + home button the recovery hboot screen had the clockworkmod instead.
all i rooted the phone for was to get shut of the stock apps taking up space, my phone is now how i like it.
and just want to be-able to make an image to restore back to.
i have tried using premium apps like titanium backup pro but its useless because that only lets you
backup and restore in the phone OS and plus it makes like 150 separate files instead of 1 .img file or zip file
i need something i can backup/restore if my phone one day doesn't boot.
i just downgraded my wife htc wildfire to be-able to root and install cygenmod7 which she is loving.
but that phone has clockworkmod (rooted with unrevoked) so it automatically installed it.
Anyway thats the background, and the reason i really need to get this nand backup working on my phone.
can anyone , anyone who's somehow installed clockworkmod recovery on their Apollo please help me out.
thank you!
Just flash a custom ROM such as Purumod v3. You don't know what you're missing in terms of performance. It's amazing! And it also has CWM pre-installed as do all of the ROMs on this forum. It saves you the hassle of finding the CWM files and having to manually overwrite some of the system files. If you really don't want to install a custom ROM then you can flash the G3Mod kernel which has CWM pre-installed or you can move this file to /system/bin.

Thanks for the quick reply, i looked into the G3mod Kernel it states there that the latest version is available
but when you click the download link to the files the latest there is a kernel below that.
code.google.com/p/g3modteam/downloads/list
if you look there the latest version they have is G3MOD_2.4.1_NON-OC.zip but there is a thread in G3MOD advertising 2.5
but i cannot see or find this 2.5 anywhere, obviously i want the latest as it includes the latest CWM version from what i can tell
on the features list.
unless i am blind 2.5 is not available at the link above sorry not got 10 posts so can't post the actual link?

Its because the Dev who uploaded version 2.5 forgot the Google code password and I would recommend using fugumod kernel and the cwm file I posted since G3MOD kernel doesn't give as good battery life as fugumod.
Click thanks if I helped.
wouldn't it be a good idea for him to maybe edit his first post explaining that and maybe putting on mediafire or some other hosting.
lol people like me wouldn't be scratching their heads reading a thread which is all about this kernel but the kernel is no where to be found.
much appreciated guys,
Just picked up a new galaxy tablet 7.0 (8GB) about a week ago. Great device so far and love it. I just can't stand the preloaded bloatware on the device and the space its taking up. It's currently running version 4.0.4
I've read up a bit up on ROMS and rooting the device. Seem pretty comfortable with it just have a few questions.
1) Do I need an SD card in the device in order to root it?
2) Best rom out there? Appears like the most talked about rom is the Cyanogen Mod 10?
No you don't need an SD Card but you may as well get one as you will need it once you start making nandroid back ups. Your tab fill up quickly ! Not to mention media and apps on top of that as well. Bigger the better to be honest.
No such thing as the best ROM, Once you are rooted try them all out and find one that suits your needs. I love AOKP M1( link in my sig) as you can customize it more than CM10 and has better features IMO.
If you dont want to customize it , try a deodexed stock based ROM with all the bloat removed, ROMSWELL makes some cool ROMS. Search the DEV section of this forum.
As i said its a personal choice , so flash them and try them out. Wont cost you anything apart from some time..... If you need help just ask and someone will give you some advice. Don't forget to flash some GApps ( Goggle Applications) as they are not normally included in a ROM due to copyright issues.
Most of all have fun. :laugh:
Oh id go for a JellyBean based ROM , nothing wrong with ICS , just the latest version out (4.2 is around the corner as well with some cool new stuff )

Thanks for the info! So the 4.0.4 is not jelly bean but its ICS?
How can I not download Jelly bean.. when I try to do an update it says its the most recent one..
I did see that some ROMS allow you to OC the device, so squeezing that extra little juice out of it I wouldn't mind either
Yeah you're trying to update "stock" and its not been released as yet to the general public.....So flash a custom ROM (once you have root)
Once you root , forget about Samsung updates as they wont work any more, But the XDA community devs do that for us much quicker than Samsung does !
Heres a rough guide from Codeworkx (CM10)
First time installing CyanogenMod 10 to your Galaxy Tab 2, or coming from another ROM:
- Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery
- Copy GApps and CM10 ZIPs to your internal SDCard ( or the external SD Card )
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM10 zip from internal SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from internal SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET
- Reboot

The ROM you are running is Ice Cream Sandwich, comes as a "stock" standard on our tabs, CM10 and AOKP are both JellyBean, Some other customs ROMs are as well. Both are under/over-clockable and both can use custom kernels as well. Both VERY stable and have very good support threads by the devs that compiled them.

Thanks for your help! Great info there. Are any of these ROMS more complex than the other? I just don't want to get into it too deep or too complex and having more of a issue getting things up and running properly or are these all the same complexity when installed? ie.. customization etc..
Aokp is very similar to CM based ROMs. They are as easy to set up as a stock ROM, only they allow for more tweaks than a factory ROM. The only thing that you have a to do with a custom rom is flash gapps(Google apps) usually in the rom thread. Read, reread, and grow a pair. The fear will turn into a high that draws you in. There is a reason that the term crack-flashing was born. It is very simple to do it on this tablet. If you have any trouble pm me, or post here, and I will walk you through it. I just did it a couple of days ago for my daughters. Good luck

At first try stable roms like AOKP JB milesone 1
As JeramyEggs said , just jump in and get wet ! They are all pretty much the same , I just prefer AOKP as I can customize it a little bit more than the others. I really dont like the way CM10 handles the navigation bar , where as AOKP lets you do as you wish to it. And I like the toggles it uses as well.
Dump stock what ever you do, Dont get me wrong I love the Samsung stock ROMs as they look stunning and the widgets are top class.The music/video players are quality. You will also gain some space on your tab as well. Stock ROMs are around 750MB and custom ROMs are normally under 200MB
Stock has no theme engine as such , that means if you want to change the way it looks ( other than wallpapers) you will have to start decompiling some system .apks ( Applications ) and it gets a tad tricky messing with .xmls.and getting it all working again.
With the theme engine in place you have 100s of themes to choose from ( over 500 in fact) and plenty of mods you can flash as well, You can even edit themes either online or on your PC with some XDA made applciations ( I use "tickle my android" personally to make themes / Edit apks like widgets n stuff )
CM10/AOKP are always being updated ( But AOKP has stopped development for the moment as I mentioned above , until 4,2 is ported) CM10 has a preview build out already.Both ROMs have a ROM control option to pimp your device up as well.
If you look through this thread , you can see most of the main ROMs and what we all do with them. :laugh:
I tend to flash most of the new ROMs just to try them out. When I'm done messing around with it all I do is boot into recovery and restore my nandroid back up and I'm back to the way I was .Its kinda like system restore on a Windows PC.
Get stuck on anything , just ask as most of the forum members are all pretty cool and more than willing to help out.
My advice is......GO FOR IT !!11!!!1 What you got to lose ?

Reading some of this stuff I am overwhelmed. So in order to backup the device up I need to root it first?
I will start with the HOW TO ROOT YOUR TAB thing now and see how far I get..
So I started last night and let's say didn't get very far. Downloaded the neccessary files but for some stupid reason the Kies software (needed to install this to get the drivers installed for the tablet so I can transfer the contents to it) was not installing.
I left my laptop on during the night and it never finished installing the software. I obtained it right from the Samsung Support website.
Any idea what could be causing this?
Also, once I do get this software installed so that the device shows up under Windows Explorer so I can drag the neccessary .zip files to it. Is there a specific location on the device I should place the files on? I do not currently have a SD card in the tablet.
Oh and my device model is a GT-P3113
So I managed to install Kies.. Guess it was getting hung up on .NET framework 4. So I just downloaded and installed myself and then tried the Kies thing and it went right through the install.
So now I should be good to actually see the device in Windows Explorer once I plug it in.
My question still remains, any particular spot on the device I need to place the .zip files for rooting?

Anywhere you can easily find the tar.md5 file on your windows drive, the*cwm-root-gtab2.zip goes to*/mnt/extSdCard which is the root, don't place in a file. I rooted mine via http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25228-how-to-rooting-gt-p3113-step-by-step-updated-07182012/

Okay.. so /mnt/extSdCard is if you have a SD card in the device.
But I do not have a SDcard, that is why i am actually asking does it matter where I place the files within the tablet internal storage due to not having a micro sd card.

Well, do your own research. There is a table of contents in the 7" dev forum, go read the rooting method there and also in the general section. Also, I'm not responsible for what others post and, you can ask the other guy how he rooted his without an sd. I recommend reading about rooting before doing it. I will say this is the easiest device to root.
So I managed to root the device. Was pretty straight forward once I got going. I installed AOKP milestone 1 rom as per someones suggestion here saying it's stable. Overall it does look nicer now and smoother only a couple of questions.
1) I took a backup or the stock stuff before doing anything after performing the root. Now I noticed all the data is gone lol.. Is there anyway to get the data back? Mainly the game progress and all the other stuff?
2) I see AOKP has a theme function under it's settings, currently there is only 1 listed. Where does one obtain themes for it? It's not in the Play Store, is it?
3) Saw the overclocking option also, does that mean the overclock can be pumped up to 1200mhz?
Guess my main question now is whether or not I can get that data back lol..
If you performed a factory reset after flashing your custom ROM, which you should have anyway, I'm sorry to say you have lost your data.

Sure did.. Oh well now I'll know at least and look into the actual backup apps to backup game progress.
The .zip files I put on the table prior to rooting, like fix-recovery, the clockwork mod file as well as the actual ROM, can those be removed off the tablet now?
I played around a bit last night and I found the THEME Choose on the Play Store and I saw themes.

Guess my main question now is whether or not I can get that data back lol..

1) which app do you use to back up? some apps only back up apk and some other back up the data too
2) you can find aokp/cm theme on playstore, usualy nice theme will cost more
3) yes you can overclock it via ROM control on setting
