Hello Guys!
This is my Custom ROM for the Galaxy Tab!
Its based on the european Firmware JME but i did the following changes:
- System and Framework completely deodexed
- System and Framework completely zipaligned
- Added Root and BusyBox
- LauncherPro as default Launcher
- build.prop Tweaks
- App Widget Picker
- Removed Maps and gMail (u can reinstall from market) more space on /system for the extra Apps
Thanks to this, you have now much more RAM available, and it runs pretty fast!
u can find the update in the attached files section
UPDATES:
1.1 - CAMERA FINALLY FIXED
1.0.1 - fixed missing camera app
1.0 - Release
Coming in further Releases (my plan ) when my bootloader gets unlocked:
- overclocking
- kernel optimisations
- custom theme
- EXT4
- Gingerbread???
apply the update by putting the files in the folder "updateX.X" (X.X stands for the version number and u need to create it) and then run the script via terminal emulator or adb shell (sh /sdcard/update/xxx_update.sh) xxx is replaced by version or update name
Currently known Bugs:
- camera app is missing but u can use camera apps from android market - fixed in newest release
THIS DOESN'T CONTAIN THE SIGNED BOOTLOADERS, just like Rotohammer's releases
it only contains a signed zImage but, as u know, u can revert this
Install with Heimdall or Odin, recommended from a JMx Firmware (JJx and JKx havnt been tested yet but u can try)
I'll update this rom, whenever there are bugs, stability issues and wishes from you!
|Download (Heimdall)|

Great. Downloading now. Will flash tomorrow.

Sounds great. But why add the signed zimage at all. Is there a way to load this without the zimage?

Can you install it with ODIN ?
Do you need a full wipe ?

Just flashed and confirmed, missing camera app. And trying to select the camera in the Gallery app forces closes

great. heimdall is up. i picked the zimage but for what button / option do i select for the .rfs file?
in other words, is this right?
[edit] never-mind. figured it out by following steps on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878686
problem now is there isnt any arabic support in this rom. may hold back on flashing it.

Sod Odin and Haimdall. Any chance of an update.zip for flashing in recovery, given that we now have a usable, stable recovery (chainfire's).

I ran across this problem with one of my tabs, but not both.
If I accessed CWM using the power and Vol+ key CWM would boot, but fail at flashing.
Go to advanced, reboot recovery
Then try to flash the kernal, then rom.
Im about to post the link to the "package" that has the zimage so people can flash the kernal via heimdall.

Alright, If rebooting recovery doesnt work install the kernal via CWM, than reboot into recovery again, although this time its with Koush's kernal. I was than able to flash the rom!
Thanks!

Alright, If CWM wont install the .zip, install the kernal via CWM, than reboot into recovery and Koush's kernal will than allow you to flash the .zip.

wow if you actually get around to releasing a gingerbread, that would be awsome. i know spacemoose is already working on a honeycomb, but im almost sure gingerbread has Netflix support on the GSM roms
i can wait untill you release that, ill help you with finding bugs if you need me, remember, im never scared of flashing, just hit me up. if i could do more than find bugs, i would.

I love this rom so much. Is there a way to fix rotation?

So I applied the .so file from the voodoo kernal thread, and rotation works on this ROM. It's also pairing with my bluetooth keyboard folio, so that's win. I pink puffy heart the browser, too. It's fun.

OK, first off.....NOT MY PORT.
But I did stay at a holiday in last night.
This is a cdma cm7 gingerbread port, in a way its kinda a hybrid build. I myself am working on stripping out all the cm7 stuff, fixing camera, apps, weird touchscreen bugs, etc.
I'm kinda shooting for an aosp-ish build, however, I am waiting on permission from original developer to publish any changes I make.
3g and wifi do work.

Already downloaded both files, I'll install and test tonight.

Which kernel do you suggest?

Hey there
I recently got a one-month old HTC One X and it came with a crappy custom ROM. I then started asking around and reading tutorials until I was finally able to remove it and install a different one. I tried a couple until I settled with TeamVenom's Viper ROM, which in my opinion is an amazing ROM.
Unfortunately, however, the ROM wasn't very stable, which seems to be a common issue with custom ROMs. For one thing, the battery wasn't very good, but that could be due to the large screen and small 1800 mAh battery, but I am not too sure. The most annoying thing, however, was the constant signal dropping. Every day or two I'd find that the phone has absolutely no signal as though there's no sim card installed. I'd have to reboot in order for it to work, and sometimes it wouldn't and would work on its own later. The last problem which made me just uninstall it was the constant dropping of internet signal. The bars would be full and it would either say H or 3G but it still wouldn't work, the upload arrow would flash but not the download one.
I got fed up and decided to remove everything and install the latest stock version of Ice Cream Sandwich. I have been using it for about four days now and I love how stable it is but it still lacks a lot of features and I feel like JB was much quicker and snappier, and didn't eat up as much memory (I know that's usage dependent, but that's how I felt) lol.
Anyway, I was wondering if reinstalling Viper with a different kernel would actually help make it more stable and eliminate the network problems? I have absolutely no idea how to change/install a kernel so a newbie guide would be awesome.
Thank you so much.

My experience :
Fresh install of viper x and using the Alex-v kernel (stock + s2w function) is rock stable !
Works like a charm and very batt friendly. But that's the problem. 1 phone gets great batt life with faux kernel and another with stock.
I have no problems at all, no reboots, no lag !

Can I put a different kernel on arhd ?

Dependo on wich version, the ics version support all the sense based kernel , the jb none. I'd suggest you stock kernel for stability , bricked for battery and eprj for performance.

Now onto how to install it

I did some research and found this:
"if its a flashable zip, flash it from recovery.
if its a boot.img, fastboot it from bootloader
you can find softwares to do it too"
That's all fine and dandy, however, in Alex-V's thread there are two files to download:
boot_one_X_Alex-V_s2w_0.1 which is a bootable image
and
Endeavoru-Alex-V_S2W_Kernel_0.1 which is a RAR file
I don't know how to go about installing it. I am assuming I should install the RAR file using clockword recovery and flash the bootable file using fastboot?
Please help.

Hi this is simple to use and does the job if you are not fully up on using ADB
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/bricked-installer-makes-one-x-kernel-flashing-simple/

Thank you so much. I am going to attempt to download the application and flash the kernel using it.
By the way, should I flash the modules that are in Alex-V's thread or just the kernel?

With kernels, you need to flash the boot.img using fastboot and then ALWAYS flash the modules using CWM or TWRP.
Also. It is recommended that you repack the kernel depending on which ROM you're using.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815607
ALTHOUGH: The alex kernel is stock with swipe 2 unlock... so I don't think it would hurt if you didn't repack.

I guess it is done:

Thank you so much, mate, I really appreciate all the help!

In the first page it said "add these two lines to the build file".. is that how it is done?
Thanks

After installing the rom, it keeps on the Pac Man logo animation. More than 10 minutes.

Any clues?

Did you hard reset by holding power and volume up till it vibrates 3 times.

No problem your not the only one with that issue when I get home from work I will redo the framework file and hopefully it fixes the issue.
My problem is that it doesn't happen with my device. Makes it hard to figure out the exact cause

After new install, the problem continues.
Will wait for a fix to test again. Thanks!

How is the ROM history about your device
For my opinion the problem is the framework

Lol not the most elegant way to install a ROM but I will enable the old download link and if people want to do it that way they can till I can get the framework fixed. It is a problem with apktool or my use of it but no matter what even if I don't change anything it won't boot it is in the bug tracker to be fixed in version 2 in a couple of weeks

RADIO INFORMATION:
To upgrade to ZVA radio and use Spark:
1. *Flash this TWRP with Flashify from the Play Store.(See below.)
2. **Flash this ROM, reboot and make sure the ROM boots up. (See below.)
3. Reboot to recovery and flash the ZVA radio. If it flashed without error then you can reboot to the ROM.
*You only need to do this if you do not have the loki'd version of TWRP 2.6.3.3. If you are unsure, follow that step.
**If you are already running the ROM you can skip this step.
More Information:
You DO NOT have to downgrade to the ZV8 radio now to run AOSP based ROMs. To run an AOSP based ROM with the ZVA radio you MUST flash Savoca's or dr87's kernel immediately after you flash the AOSP ROM.
Big thanks to @[B]Savoca[/B] @[B]autoprime[/B] @[B]garwynn[/B] @[B]Shelnutt2[/B] @[B]Dougie2187[/B] for all of their work, links, and infomation with this update.

So we need to flash the radios along with this right?

no you shouldn't since its a stock rooted and booat loader isn't being changed but don't quote me on that

If I'm running the unrooted stock of the ZVA ROM, do I need to flash anything but this one rom? Also do I have to wipe anything?
Sent from my LG-LS980 using xda app-developers app

Thanks youdug!
Also I see LG has yet to remove the Google Shopping app, an app for a service which was shut down before the phone was even released...

Flashed the ROM and it said SuperSU was not installed and asked if it should be, so I hit install SuperSU and got stuck on the LG screen. I was lucky enough to be able to boot into TWRP still

So if I'm not in one of the spark cities but in one of the 4g LTE upgraded cities like in this post:http://newsroom.sprint.com/news-releases/sprint-rolls-out-4g-lte-in-more-cities.htm?view_id=7889, will flashing ZVA and this ROM have any added effect?

So is this rom bloat free or are all the Sprint apps still included? I'm asking because I took the ota and then rooted after, but I never made a pure spark backup before I added all my tweaks. If this one still has all the bloat I can just use this as a backup incase KK ever drops, I can ota using this.

it should newer radios mean improved signal and seeing as u cant use the radio's without the rom kinda of required
