Hey guys,
Lately the Stock ROM is annoying me, I'm planning on flashing it to a custom ROM - I don't see gingerbread anywhere so I thought why not !
Also, my tab was rooted until something happened and I had to reset it to factory settings, most of the apps (that need root access) work, but titanium backup claims it fails to achieve root.
So Should I re root my tab before flashing a custom ROM?
and of course the question I asked in the title - what would you'll recommend for a custom rom on a GSM tab (I was thinkin overcome)
Cheers
Jackie

I'd also reccomend Overcome. Best rom out there IMHO. Until we get data on honeycomb anyway
Sent from inside a whale.
I also recommend Overcome. It's been brilliant so far.

Sweet, thanks a lot guys.
But can anyome tell me a sure **** way of know if it still has root, because some apps like screen density and market enabler work but titanium backup says "could not gain root" :/

Probably because you mis-pressed the allow button in superuser when first launching titanium.
launch superuser and remove teh titanium entry and next time you load it will ask for su rights again.
Definetly overcome!

Yes, make a backup of the stock rom with Rom Manager before flashing the new one.

I second that. Alterbridge is a first class developer.
And I really miss Rotohammer too.
Thank you very much everyone, I'm thinking I'll get rid of unwanted stuff on my internal SD before I start it - as I found out that conversion to ext4 takes a while - so I'll save time that way also - hopefully if time permits, I'll be flashing my tab soon
Also does anyone know if i could some how get the gingerbread framework to work with the galaxy tab on overcome?

I think its better you hold out at the moment till someone ports it over to the WiFi version
Well its a good idea. Am empty SD card conversion takes 2 minutes. Full one can take upto 20 LOL. Not that I encourage everyone to wipe their cards. I flashed overcome when my tab was fairly new so I had no problems wiping it.
sweet, thanks for the info, also when the ext4 is being converted, is there a progress bar or status? I get paranoid at times when I don't see any progress
Ive install Villain Rom 3.0 with the new android 2.3.5 its working great. For some reason it did not have root so i flashed via odin speedmod kernel KI-T40. and with that i got root and its working great so far.
im just waiting know for the tweaks and a good blue theme for it.
I hope this helps .
If i help you just hit the thank meter!
Wrong Section its not a question .

It does have root it just didn't have superuser, downloading superuser from market would of solved root issues.

Should I stay on 2.5? or should I update?
I found that people says that version 2.3.5 has better sound quality and battery drain is gone.
is is true ?
thank you in advance for you assistance.
Been using V3 for a week now, so far it been great. Playing with lots of apps from the market, no fc till now and battery is decent. Try it.

Is it that different to stock 2.3.5 though? I'm running 2.3.5, tried VR3.0 and can't see any differences at all. The guys at VR don't seem able to say what benefits it has over stock, other than some VR tweaks that aren't of use to me.

Urm one major difference stock is odexed, VR is deodexed. Allows themes and mods which for most is a big plus.

I have been using Villian 3 for several months and I love it!
Only issues that I know:
Device Encryption does not work and blocks the phone (you have to come back to original stock rom to be usable, the phone cannot boot)
Touchdown app does not sync calendar (but email works so I'm fine with it)
But battery life is awesome compared to stock one, is very fast and I you like TW like I do is great cause you will get TW experience with better battery and faster

Yes, device encryption is unfortunate...
I'd not turn it down if it worked... I decided to wait until ICS, and then see if the inbuilt stuff there works. If not, I'll have to figure it out.
But at the end of the day, I wouldn't release the rom like that, for one reason. Encryption is only good if you are using a secure rom. While VR is in many respects more secure than most ROMs due to using non public platform keys, it still permits root access.
Since exchange encryption is usually enforced by your IT admin, I don't think people should be using this ROM for work purposes to connect in, given it is rooted...
With root, you can just dump the data off the running system
What is a good rom to run on this phone? I have tried a few and can't seem to find anything that works with out issue. I tried the latest SlimRom which I liked but It doesn't allow me root access. So apps like titanium backup don't work I've tried I think its OEO or something of that nature and it was ok and I don't care for CM11.
I am using the stock rom that came with the phone I think that is ICS

I have never found a more functional rom than mhous33 dst stock or the avistralia deodexed mod.
All the cm, pacman, aokp...... never work FOR ME in all the capacities of stock.
About TiBu, I have always found issues with it.
I use recovery advanced restore to move apps.
You can move your stock data to both the dst & avistralia roms.

Did you try flashing supersu in twrp to get root access? Also, the most recent builds of CM11 have been running great for me with no issues and better performance than stock and CM10.2 for me. It's worth a try...

They do have use to you because you would find the info you're looking for, if you take the time to read them.
I tried out SlimKat and it seemed ok but i really don't like how little they made the fonts and the screens in it. Some of us older people need bigger. I also had to flash the SU binary update as its not added to it. I tried out the beta 2 edition. After my data resets I plan on trying the DST one that was also suggested. Sometimes not having home internet sucks.
Hey all,
I have few serious issues with my i9506 mobile that i really would be glad if you put some time into helping me solve them.
I'm using CM11-201501250=NIGHTLY-ks01lte, Android version 4.4.4
Mobile freezes a lot, almost 4+ times a day. nothing responses and i have to reboot it to use it again.
Video recording always have a bad sound quality.
A lot of apps crashes and launchers too.
Over heating (but not much i can do about that i think)
I been using CM11 for long time and i am gonna try to upgrade to CM12 now. all i want is a running CM version with exposed framework.
So please help me fix these issues

Hi guys,
So I liked the selfie stock camera app that came with OP6T (v2.10) and was wondering if there is a way to install this older version of the camera app as a 'different camera app, while KEEPING the new version of the camera app on the phone?
I tried to rename 'label' in the manifest, but it still asks me if I want to 'update existing' app - so obviously the phone knows I am trying to install an older version of this same app. Can anyone help with this?
Thanks.

Your can't have two different versions of the same app, changing the name isn't enough. There was an app that was able to 'clone' an apk but I'm not sure this app still exists

Because I'm trying to do this on a 7T... i'm a little afraid to ruin the phone setup / stock camera app that came installed (v3 something.)
Will installing the older app overwrite the new app ?? Is it okay to do or can spoil something on the phone?
I was hoping to have the option to pull up the V2.10 app by having a second camera app.
I'm not well versed with modding so hope you dont mind my queries - thanks!

You can't in any phone, it's Android design.
You can try apps like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloneapp.parallelspace.dualspace. If you manage to clone the old one for example to install it. You can't ruin anything as long as you don't erase the original app. And it's just an app, easy to put back
Or any other that you could find. Honestly I don't really understand why you want those 2 oos app
Stock OOS cam is 3.8. something on OP6t now
