[Q] Rooting & MIUI Rom on Galaxy Tab 7" (original)? - General Questions and Answers

Hi, hope someone can help me, please.
I have a Galaxy Tab P1000. It was with Froyo 2.2 and had MIUI Rom installed. It was also rooted with SuperUser.
I have now upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.
Questions:
1. Is it still using MIUI Rom, or the default Rom? If not, HOW and where can I see this to delete it? If it is using it, how do I know? Sorry, not "up" on these things.
2. Is the GT still rooted? There's the SuperUser app still but if it's not rooted now, I can delete that app, right? Do I need to root it again for Gingerbread?
I would like to install one of the GO Launcher themes but first, it's best I get the above questions answered.
I don't even know if I'm seeing the "best" of what Gingerbread has to offer. Maybe it is still using MIUI and that's why it looks the same as before...?
Hope you can help. Many thanks for any advice and help!! :S

[Q] Samsung galaxy s i9000 noob asking

Hello xda forum! I am new and totally NOOB! I recently bought a galaxy s i9000 from a little research in the forum I decided that I have to root it because I am already having a lot of problems.. I am having now the original firmware from samsung(updated via kies) and I am in version 2.3.3 (basebend version I9000XXJVO and kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVI-CL210427 [email protected] #2 ...I have no idea what are those things!!! and build number GINGERBREAD.XWJVI) I want to root it on Ice cream sandwich! It look so cool and fast. but I have no idea how and which rom to choose because I saw 3-4 different in the forum.
So...
1. I want to learn how to root and what do I need.
2. I want your opinions on the ics roms (suggest me whats the best)
3. Is everyone have the same problem with the battery!?
4. If I done this and then I want to take the rom out is it possible?
I really thanks you for your time! and sorry if I created a same post..
more info about my phone (found them with a code):
GT-i9000HKDEUR
PDA I9000XWJVI
PHONE I9000 XXJVO
CSC I9000 XXJV9
Thanks again for everything!!!
1)To root your Galaxy S you can use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 quick and easy.
2) I personally have not used the ICS roms for SGS but this one seems to be the most stable one around http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223
3) Battery issues plagued me when I got my SGS as well, I would suggest getting something like Juice Defender off the market it can greatly help out battery life
4) Yes it is possible to go back to stock firmware all you need to do is flash back the stock firmware which you can find through Google.
1)to root my galaxy I used a modded kernel like cf root or semaphore which give you the root permissions and cwm
2)i never tried a ics rom because i'll try one of them when they will become stable, i don't like beta/alpha roms
3)battery isn't very very good...i can arrive till 8 pm normally, but if i start playing, wifi, music...in 4 hours battery is ko
4)yes if you want to take the rom out, you can flash a stock firmware/rom
hope it helps
then tell me how it has gone
thanks guys for your answers..I will think about doing it..and if I have any other question I will ask you...really thanks from your help
I use and still testing the stock ICS and i have to say that you MUST not install it in my experience so far in a week it have some issues. I am a noob too but learning, and this is a very versatil phone to use and manage. Meanwhile i sugest to upgrade to oldEr versions of GINGERBREAD

I got SGS + and I am not satisfied. No official update (2.3.5 only.). Here in the forum I have read and saw that there are very few good ROMs and each has a bug. Before I had the Samsung Nexus S I was super happy. The best programs I had on the Nexus was TeamGummy, CM9, WildestPixel and all were perfect with no bugs. And my question is how to make such a good rom for SGS +. I'm just a user and I'm not an expert to do a rom. Sorry for my bad English?
The problem is that we only have a few Dev's for Galaxy s Plus, because it's not very popular.
But now ontopic
I am running Simplistic Plus F2 on my galaxy s plus. Its very smooth and lite
Do you mean the Wifi Bug? Its because Samsung is not able to create a working driver :/

Thank you for your response. Should be the successor to the highly successful i9000 so I got it. I have not even looked at the forum as there Roms for SGS +, because I thought when I get it I'll be able to put the new ICS 4.0.4 without problems and bugs. But I was wrong.
My cell phone is not even root, but I'll do it and try to put a rom and see how it works.
And thinking about selling SGS +, so I buy another one.
So as I read the forums every rom SGS+ has a wifi or camera bag ... With the Samsung Nexus S had no bugs.
Do you know whether Samsung may launch a new official update for SGS + or someone else to be told if you have any information. Thank you.

ROM Porting

I have Samsung Galaxy Tab II 7.0 (GT-P3100)
It came with ICS 4.0.3 upgradable to 4.1.1
While playing around with it, I rooted it, installed a Custom Recovery (CWM) and a Custom ROM (CyanogenMod 10.1), Android version 4.2.1.
Now everything is just fine except a few bugs that are normal in Nightly Builds.
I want to re-install my Stock ROM because I want to sell it and the buyer wants official stock ROM.
One of my friends has the same handset (GT-P3100) with same baseband version (P3100DDLG1)
The only thing that he did was that he updated his one to official JB update OTA (4.1.1)
He also rooted his phone.
Now, I want you people to help me, how can I copy his Tab's ROM and install that on mine.
I want instructions to be easy and porting procedure simple.
Like the way I install updates for CM 10.1
Thanks.

Wrong forum, my friend: you have the Galaxy Tab II (GT-P3100), while this is for the Galaxy Tab 7.7 (GT-P6800/6810/I815).
But the answer would be the same.. You don't want to port a ROM (that would be trying to make a Galaxy Note 10.1 ROM run on the Galaxy Tab II 10.1, for example: make a ROM run on a device where it wasn't meant to run): you want to "transfer" a ROM between two different devices. And that is quite easy. Your friend makes a CWM backup. You get that backup on your tablet, and restore that backup. Then you'll have the exact same kernel, system and data as he does. Then, you factory reset to erase the data, and you'll have the ROM as if you'd just installed it fresh. You'll probably still be rooted, though.
A more straightforward way would be to simply download the ROM you want from SamMobile and install it through Odin.

Thanks for the Answer Brother...
Actually I'm new to XDA forums,that is why I'm a little confused between "forums", "porting", "posts", "topics", "transfer"...
Anyways I know how to make the Backup of ROM in CWM although I don't have any idea where are the files stored on the tablet.
I mean when my friend creates a backup via CWM, where will be the "Backup ROM" stored (path)
if you can help...
Thanks in advance.

What are you trying to achieve? The stock based ROMs are much more stable than the CM ROMs. There's no need or use to delete things and if you delete too much you will start to cause problems.

I am not aware of any fully functional CM based or other custom ROMs for the P62xx series. The is a CM11 ROM that is a work in progress on the forum. I would install the latest stock 4.1.2 , root and then install a third party launcher , lock screen and other items to make it look the way I want. That will get you a stable, basically custom ROM. I think its unlikely that a stable CM11 will ever appear unless Samsung releases a stock 4.4 from which to build on and CM 10 is now outdated with no developers to support it.
Have you tried the development section.. There are alot of custom roms there.. PAC, Omni to name a few..
Try the Omni4.4.2 it is still in development but it works great and having KitKat on this Tablets is awesome
Guys pardon for my ignorance(im new to this upgrading/flashing thing) but how do you install custom roms?
I'm considering it an option because after i flashed my p6200 with the new jellybean rom via odin, my tablet works until it got battery drained and now stuck on "boot-loop", I've done the CWM wipe/reset data thing but still stuck in that loading screen, I also did try reflashing it with the same jelly bean firmware but still stuck.. I'm thinking installing a custom rom might make it work again..
or if you do have the old honeycomb stock rom for P6200 DXKL2 firmware that i could use via odin.

does it work for you?
I've downloaded this man.. copied it to my sdcard and then installed it through CWM recovery, now I get to the part where I had to choose stuff, like pre-installment settings like whether to choose "wipe user data" and such, and then install "samsung exclusive?" or "default install" or "remove bloatware", so there after choosing my options it then goes to this page with texts and the android robot at the background, it was so fast that I didn't even get to read what is written, i remember only "wipe?" or sort of, it goes for like a second and then restart back to the
"samsung galaxy tab 7.0 plus" loading screen, it's already been a while and it's still stuck in there, I wonder if that is normal, or again like any other stock rom i've flashed with using (odin method) this is stuck and going nowhere?
help! i wanted to post this at the development thread of this certain rom, but Im not allowed due to having few posts i guess?
and by the way, could someone share a ".pit" file for the p6200, i think it might be helpful for making this tab work again, thanks!

[Q] First time installing a custom ROM

Hello,
I have never installed any ROMs on my Android phone, since I lost my old one I got a new one the S2 Plus. My question is can anyone help me install a stable kitkat? I understand that I have to root the device, don't I?
Also anyone mind explaining what all the CMW's and Cyanogenmods are?
Cheers,
