quick message from ME!I have NEVER, sold this rom. The issue was kernel sourcecode, and a in public dissatisfaction, or argument, if you will.
Again, never have sold ANYTHING! But according to the GPL, I can.
According to xda, having a contributor release, is acceptable, but nor preferred by xda.
Therefore: contributors program will remain.
Kernel source added: got to my website, and hit the information tab.
NO part of BOCA may be relinked, nor uploaded anywhere. Period. Nor distributed in whole or part. With out my permission, and possibly the other developers whose work is in BOCA.

UPDATE:
As most of you know, my computer is, to be kind, having some issues.
Please begin on page 32, post #319, if you want to catch up on the issue. also see UPDATE #1 10/3/2011.
The support and concern, is heart warming.
Thank you!
I have added my kernel source, HERE
Hopefully, it is everything you need to build the newest BOCA 2.6.35 kernel for my 2.3.7 release.
Here is my ram disk recovery cpio HERE
update #3
the revolution has begun (well a couple days ago)
http://theandroiddoor.weebly.com/
update #2
Contributor 2.3.7 nightly stable test release uploaded
If you are a contributor, and do not have the password, please pm me
How to become a BOCA contributor:
(In no particular order)
Paypal
Device donate/loan/ or help/support of BOCA port to said device
Promote BOCA honestly on alternative websites
Help users anyway you can
Help me anyway u can
Bug fixes
Giving detailed reviews with honest opinion, of course
Be active in the production of BOCA
BTW: I need someone who knows XML well, and wants to try something new
Etc.......
As usual, after a few, when contributors report no bugs, it get released to everyone else.
UPDATE #1
10/3/2011
Well, XDA, bad news
My computer is down, out for the count. I believe it is the motherboard, but it needs further investigation. A nice BOCA users has offered his old motherboard, and I will contact this user, and see.
But, if it is not doable, I am afraid, I must stop making roms, and developing in general, as I cannot afford a new computer.
Sometime tonight, I will release 2.3.7 nightly test port, for contributors.
The UI is not finished, but it is very stable, daily driver status, I believe.
I ask them to not re-release, link, mirror nor distribute.
Why release to them now, and not everyone?
They actually offered help, helped, or donated in some way. They did not demand a thing, without giving something in return. The total hours I have spent these last months developing a rom, is uncountable. Something like 1 cent and hour. Most likely less than that.
There are many reasons I release my work, and yes, one of the perks, other than seeing others happy with and using my hard work, is paypal donations, and I thank every contributor- no matter how they contributed- as a new friend. thank you.

9/2/2011
Uploaded more flashable fonts zips.
uploaded HTC g2 BOCA kernel
More web design
9/1/2011
UPDATE 2
Google android source codes have been removed.
Google attacked by hackers, and for security reasons, they pulled their public repositories.
I have no idea when they will open again.
https://twitter.com/#!/warty9
This basically means every android device development (source roms and custom kernels) is in limbo, for now
Until then BOCA developement is on hold, mostly.
No new kernel.
(New kernel hopes were to have recovery that reads internal sdcard, bfg scheduler and voodoo also)
But can't compile without the source code.
HTC G2 kernel will be uploaded later today.
Ill look into a terminal copy paste that mounts your internal sdcard in recovery,
Until then.

flashable font zips added.

Install Instructions
For Coming From Any Rom That isn't BOCA, MIUI or unofficial port based off of CM7 (Teks)
(see below for those instructions)
As you all know, when switching from rom to rom, something called a safe stock re-partitioned is very much preferred, almost required. Even more so, when jumping from roms with different os bases, example is going from a 2.3 based rom to a 2.3.4 (or reverse).
You need to do this process to kinda bleach out anything that remains of the old rom, as many times these arent properly cleared through a recovery erase, and can leave behind bits and pieces that can, and frequently do, disrupt the next rom you try to run. This is never a good thing, as it can cause anything from a bootloop to mysterious ghost like behaviors. Not to mention many things many not work correctly in your new rom.
Team Overcome has created, or basically repacked a way to do this. Many thanks!!!!
TeamOvercome website HERE
1) Go to Overcomes website, and download a zip called: ROM | 001001-GB-Stock-Safe-v5
(this is the base, non branded 'official' release of Gingerbread from Samsung. Overcome has made a few modifications to this file, and added Odin, modems and Samsung SGT driver installer to the zip)
2) While at the Overcome site, also download a zip called: KERNEL | 002001-Overcome Kernel V3.3.1 (TAR)
(this is a kernel made by AB, with some nice work done to it. But what we need it for is to convert our system to ext4. It will not run BOCA)
3) Unzip the GB-Stock zip, and open it up.
4) Open SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86, and run it. This will reinstall, and clean up any old drivers for your tab.
5) plug in your tab when done, and let you computer fully install you SGT's drivers. Once its finished, unplug your tab.
6) Unplug any USB devices from your computer, & Open Odin3_v1.7, once it opens, plug your tab back in to your computer, in download mode.
Under ID:COM, a yellow window should now state your tabs is connected.
7) Place gt-p1000_mr.pit inside the PIT slot, PDA slot, place: GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar
8) Make sure Re-partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked, press start.
9) Once finished, and your tab has rebooted, press reset in Odin. On your tab, skip through all the setup options, and reboot into download mode.
10) Plug your tab back into your computer, and place: 002001-Overcome_Kernel_v3.3.1.tar into the PDA slot, and press start.
11) Let your tabs sexy robot voice convert your system, once done, boot into recovery, clear everything, go to zip installer, and choose BOCA from your external SD card. Let install, and then reboot.
12) As with ANY rom, please do a full battery calibration with the included apk, ASAP.
13) Enjoy BOCA!!
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
(For when coming from BOCA, MIUI or unofficial port based off of CM71) Boot into your current recovery and clear dalvic cache
2) Go to zip installer and choose BOCA from your external SD card
3) Boot into BOCA, and reboot again.
4) As with ANY rom, please do a full battery calibration with the included apk, ASAP.
Sorry maybe I need new glasses but I can't find the link to download the rom from your website.

you should be asking these q's on my website sites forum, as im not here anymore after this.
i am there
you'll get much faster answers.
and I've been up two days straight.
I need sleep, bad
But like I said, feel free to post here, as users like to see both the good and the bad before they decide.
try a reboot into BOCA ll Recovery, and do the cache whipes again.
If that don't work try a fix permissions.
No?
If that doest work, I need to check dip7 new kernel.
Its a new release that came after BOCA. Maybe its not compatable anymore.
If everything fails, u need to restock and try from a different kernel.
i have done like the guide will not boot. 1.5 works great for me. will v2 work with my euro tab?

That's your problem, you are not supposed to use the P1000L/N version. Click on top of the menu, not down in the P1000L Version.
