+1 on this. Is the 8.9 development pretty much the same as the 10.1 or something?

It's the same but we don't know if it's possible to install 10.1 ROM (or something else) on the 8.9

For all android devices : the root is available before they are released (or just after) but not for our 8.9 ? It's not a bad tablet ! Come on !

I've had the Tab 8.9 for about 4 days now, and I keep looking online every day to see if there's a forum for the Galaxy Tab 8.9 but nothing yet. I tried Androidforums as well, and there's minimal posts on it, guess because of how new it is? Idk :-(

1) You cannot install 10.1 Roms (at least I couldn't).
2) You can easily root the 8.9 using the 10.1 patch file method. Upload the one that's posted on here in another thread to the device, reboot in recovery mode, install the patch, reboot, and it's rooted.
3) Last night someone posted a way to get Netflix working on the 8.9, which wasn't working up until then. The instructions for this are also posted in this forum.
Yes I agree that there doesn't seem to be too much activity or forums/threads on specifically the 8.9 model, but it's brand new and will become more popular over time. I was a bit upset without finding a way to root or get Netflix working, but now that I have, I am in love with this little device. It does everything I want to do.
Also, on a side note, if you want OpenVPN support, it has the tun module integrated directly into the kernel (unlike the 10.1 apparently), so it's easy to get it working if you're rooted. And Samsung just released the kernel source so there should be custom roms and kernels coming soon.

You say "upload the one thats posted on here" Where/what is here ?
And " the instructions for this are also posted in this forum"... what is "this forum" it's xda ?

hard to post when there is no forum for it yet. I have to go searching all the other tablet forums to find info now which is no fun.
Need it's own forum

I search too... post here when you find something

Rooting, adding Ad-HOC Modding Galaxy Tab 8.9
Like those of you who have already posted on this thread, I spent hours looking for any person or group that was focusing on the Galaxy Tab 8.9 and found nothing but bits and pieces that forced me to experiment on my own.
I did find out how to safely and easily root the device, how to replace the wpa_supplicant to easily add Ad-HOC support for wirelessly tethering to a smartphone, and how to restore the stock ROM using ODIN. If you want further details, go to epinions.com and look for my review of the Galaxy Tab 8.9 16GB.
Haven't seen anyone working on any custom ROM for the 8.9 but I did try to install one for the Tab 10.1 and it nearly bricked my 8.9 Tab (put me into a boot loop).

Create a new forum for galaxy 8.9 +1

+1 too for the 8.9 Galaxy Tab forum

Galaxy Tab 8.9 forum plzzzzz

Just flood the existing galaxy tab forums until someone gets the picture. That was a joke. Please don't ban me.

A post has been opened to request a new forum officially !

I've also purchased an xcover. I haven't found any development for it anywhere on the internet. I have a sim free model and am hoping I it will be possible to upgrade officially to ics or jb. U say you managed to root your device could you share witchf ethod you used? Was it the update.zip file for any android from this forum?

Any one know if there is someone working on cwm or cyanogenmod for this device?
Sent from my GT-S5690 using xda app-developers app

No. There is no talk of development of a ROM or CWM on this forum or on any other forum I've seen. So unless someone's doing it in secret, it's not happening.
All you can do is root it and run Titanium Backup to take out some bloatware. But BE ****ING CAREFUL! You can easily remove something your phone needs to run. And no, there isn't a list of what is and isn't safe to delete.
Realistically, If you're just some wannabe hacker noob (like me) there is no reason to root this phone right now. Maybe later some dev will get one of these and want to run Cyanogenmod and port it, but until then you have to live with your already pretty sweet gingerbread. Hey, even stock it's a **** of a lot better than an iphone. And you can accidentally drop it in the toilet, NBD.

With root you can put apps to sd. So you can create a bit more memory to work with.

Thx for the replyes, ive allready rooted it and have frozen some apps i dont like, would have been awsome to clock the cpu but No suppport there either.

I've also rooted my xCover s5690 following this simple steps
howardforums.com/showthread.php/1759127-Universal-Gingerbread-Root-amp-Unroot-Samsung-Galaxy-Ace-Gio-Mini-Fit-Pop-Young-Xcover
After that Rom Manager could offer me only CWM for I9000 and Epic 4g.
After that I've installed the Root uninstaller app and deleted some boring apps as social/music hub etc. because it's the only thing I can do with this rooted phone for now...
I hope it will be possible to install a ClockWorkRecovery Mod for this model, cause without it the personalization experiment stops (for us incapable of coding it).
If I find something around I'll post it here, good luck! :good:
cheers

I've rooted too and a developer i found on another forum is looking at some files i sent (the stock recovery .img e.t.c) hopefully in the outcome he will send me a port of CWM that we can use until an official version is available. But still there's no work on cyanogenmod for the GT-S5690 for now but its a step in the right direction. I can say that an app called seeder speeds up some games and adw launcher works well and is totally customizable for the time being that's all we got just root.

[q] gapps for samsung galaxy tab 3 10.1

I have just recently bought a samsung galaxy tab 3 10.1 in China, and its great the only problem i have is that i don't have GAPPS. I was aware of this before buying as i have bought a samsung phone here but i was able to root and add GAPPS, i have rooted and put on CWM but i can't seem to find any GAPPS files for it. does anyone know where i can get GAPPS or the standard english rom to upload??

Not sure how it is in China but shouldn't you have the Play store app by default ?
Unless you removed it or something
Like I said i'm not sure how software is in China and AFAIK there are no custom ROMS for this device that require GAPPS
Cheers

No Android Market on Tablets from China
Hello together,
I also buyed last week a galaxy tab 3 10.1 here in china and have the same problem.
I have already rooted the tab and also found some how to´s for installing the google framework
and the app store for example
worlwideweb.androidpit.de/de/android/forum/thread/413743/Android-Market-Auf-X2-G
, but it works only more or less. Some of the google apps are running now but the most important
the google play store still didn´t run.
Maybe I only take the wrong software or I don´t know.
My Tab is:
GT-p5200
Android Vers. 4.2.2
Kernel 3.4.34-1216049
Has somebody a good idea or can tell me which software I have to use.
Thx for your hepl.

Hello
Offtopic.. i have samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 GT-P5200 with Android Vers. 4.2.2. Is there way to root it? I tried search any tutorial, but no luck on this. Please help me..
Thanks

Hey guys,
you could try to flash some CM Gapps, like the ones form the Slimbean site.
You could give them a try!
http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/916-addons
There you can find the ones for 4.2.2!

In the development section for the. 10.1 you can use the cwm final and root.zip thread by bindroid.
As long as you know a little about Odin and cwm it's pretty safe.

China has a separate play store, but in this case (samsung devices) all of the gapps are missing. If anyone knows which version of gapps to download it would be great.

Thanks again

SystemUI
Hello, root nation
I've question - is it possible to replace some system programs, such as caller/dialer, lockscreen and so on? My tab won't got any updates and custom OSs aren't fits me, so I with to "create" my personal OS . Who has any experience with such things? Perhaps this isn't right topic, so please, guide me. Thanks in advance.
