Take the Overcome expiriance. It feels very fast and smooth. Everything works without any issues and the community support (if you need it) is great. At the moment Alterbridge does not stop his developing (next version of his rom is in the oven) so we will get more and more performance.
PS: for a nexus S look you can flash the GreengerBlack theme.
(I know, I know......)

I came from overcome to dip7's rom and I can tell you that it is faster but it's closer to stock. Overcome has icons that look cool for some people but i like dip7's rom better.

Cool thanks for the replys guys quick question if I was to flash it is there anything or any builds for the uk model as there is so many different types of tab models. I don't want a brick

If you make your choise for overcome, the installation will be easy as sleep. You just have to follow the guide on "teamovercome.net". The Rom is made for GSM Tabs like yours. It's allmost impossible to brick the Tab.

I can give you instructions to install dip7's rom if you want cos I have a UK tab too. I can tell you how to install overcome too.

For both roms you must flash stock gingerbread. Here is the guide I used cos i was a bigger noob then:

The honeycomb rom by spacemoose1 is not complete yet. The last build he released was about 3 months ago. I tested it and it was laggy and many things were broken. I recommend gingerbread for now until spacemoose1 gets onto a better stage of his build.

I really appreciate all the replys, ever since I got my nexus s I joined this site and I've never known a community to be so helpfull. I will go with the overcome, I watched the YouTube video of honeycomb it doesn't have the acceleration looks good but I'd rather have the "smooth as butter flash" I will hopefully flash before or after work tonight and will report back

Overcome or CM7 ?
I can see that overcome is pretty popular. I dont hear anybody touting CM7; I've got CM7 running on an HTC Desire HD and an LG Optimus One, and I'm pretty happy with it -- much better that the stock ROM, and on the O1, probably the nicest ROM out there. I'm just wondering a bit how much better worse it is compared to Overcome ?

I used to like cm7 but it is buggy as he'll Evan the last release was on my nexus s id have times where my screen would look like a burnt in screen animation, I would have to reboot all the time best roms i've used on my nexus is stock and miui only problem with miui us is the keyboard vibration don't work

Guys,
I just got a T-Mobile version of TAB,
I'd like to flash to Gingerbread, or a rom which supports Gtalk video and Skype,
What are some of your suggestions?
Thank you

Overcome supports it I think I'd start with that if you can get overcome

Definitely what you want. I've been an Overcome fan for a while now, been very happy with it.

I use Overcome since version 2.0.0 RC1. In my opinion it is the best ROM for the Gtab 7". It is fast, does not have too much bugs and the support by Team Overcome is very good. The development of the ROM is fast and continually.
Not to forget the very good installation instruction and the Change Log for every new version of the ROM.

CM7 to stock GRI40

I've been reading a lot of posts lately of people wanting to go from CM7 to stock 2.3.3. Why would someone do such a thing? Am I missing something??

They don't want to use or don't know about the Dewonkificator and because of the wonks are willing to go stock. They think battery life sucks on CM7 and want better battery life with stock. They want the latest Android version. They use only RC or Stable versions of CM and therefore don't know about the improvements in the nightlies after RC1.
I would like to try stock for few days just for comparison and most likely go back to CM7 after that.
I have never heard of call wonks. What are they?

Gremlins that inhabit the CM7 ROM. They often run amok when you make or receive calls.
I think it only affects the stock dialer though. I use CM7 for daily use and have for a while now, and have seen a wonk once. It was ugly.
Dialer One didn't have any issues to my knowledge.
I've been using the stock dialer more on CM7 then I have in the past with little to no issues, although I don't call that often.
Cyanogen is the best
Hmm when i flash an other ROM then Cyanogen it feels wrong for me.
Imo Cyanogen is for me the way how Android must looks like.
I've been thinking about buying myself a new device but then i thought: "There will be no Cyanogen on it and maybe they wouldn't support it". So i wait for the next Googlephone.
My N1 will survive another year.
Great thanks to the Cyanogen team for this great job no one make a better one!!!
where's the tutorial of CM7 to stock 2.3.3..
i want to try it.. anyone please copy the link..
Backup followed by flashing the GRI40 zip from the development forum.

Gingerbread differences

I upgraded to gingerbread but dont notice some of the gui visual differences. Anyone else notice this too?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
Theres not much changed in the graphics itself. More underlying stuff has been changed.
For me the most important things are greatly improved battery life and properly working gps (quick fix). There are others reporting faster and more responsive overall user experience.
Its really worth to upgrade to 2.3

Search tab forumn gingerbread has ALOT of bugs. Threads and threads with pages and pages.
Wait till oc/uv and a more stable kernel. Current kernel is a mix between tab software with a sgs driver. Because samsung hasnt released source code yet. Gingerbread isnt officially out in the us or most of the world for the tab.
An interesting note on gingerbread. Drop your lcd density to 165 and some stock icons upgrade to a totally different icon. Example is phoneicon.

If you want to change the GUI of your Tab, I suggest that you try out some launcher apps. LauncherPro for example, you can easily change how the homescreen looks.
Or if your open to custom ROM's, I suggest that you keep a close eye to the development of Overcome ROM. They are beginning to customize the GUI of the ROM, as well as optimization tweaks for the whole device.
Thanks for all of your answers

JVH/JVO vs Cyanogenmod

Hi guys!
I think it's about time to give some gingerbread to my galaxy s.
I'm having this doubt about which way to go. Official firmware or Cyanogenmod.
What do you recommend? What are the pros and cons of which one of them by your experience.
One 100% required feature for me is voodoo sound, but i guess i can have it both ways.
Thank you for your help!

Why not taking a look at the features list first:
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/about
If you think you really really need that stuff then maybe you want that ROM. The tethering and openvpn stuff sounds nice but I like my stock GB for now.

Thanks for your reply.
It's not a question features, it's a question of user experience.
For example, one thing that annoys me in the official gingerbread is the alarm clock bug, as it happens that I rely on it every single morning to get to work on time

Which ever one you like the best? Honestly, there is no such thing as the "best" in the custom ROM world. What suits you best? I don't know, I can't answer that for you. If you want Touchwiz and S-Pen capabilities...there are a few options. Do you like AOSP? MIUI?...cause there are a few of those as well!

imlika's AOSP ICS hands down for me. I had issues with partial root permissions with all other ICS releases, but not with AOSP. Also it's slim (no Samsung crapware), fast and can be run in tablet mode with no issues.
The only downside is the video recording doesn't work (missing drivers, will be fixed in time hopefully), and USB connectivity (this can be overcome by using various WiFi file sharing apps from the market).
Okay, I'll play. I'd have to agree. AOSP at the moment is pretty damn flawless, and for most people, the pure Google experience is the preferred one. I also love MIUI to death, and I think the level and ease of customization is unparalleled anywhere in the mobile OS realm.

I use imilka's aosp, mostly because I love the tablet mode capability in that,
and if i want stock, I would use Team Rocket rom, version 1.6 is gonna be released tomorrow and it has lots of fix, So I hear.

I am using AllianceROM from my signature. It is very smooth and snappy. It's TW based JB and it's nicely themed with OTAs and a lots of customizations. You can install with or without Samsung and Google apps. Just follow instructions.
I'm using Super Nexus 2.0
Pros:
Smooth and fast
No Bloatware
Great battery life
Cons:
None really. (some may say it is to much of a minimal ROM) but I actually like that
My favs
It's been about 15 months since i'm having my beloved Note, and i guess i flashed like 30 different ROM's on it, from GB's to JB's, CM, MIUI, literally everything. Let me mention my 2 favourites, The first one was this: [ROM][4.1.2][10/14] Cookies & Cream 1.3.0. Very highly customizable, smooth, and amazing battery life. The reason i stopped using it, cuz it has some flaws, i cannot save my contacts to the SIM card, or anywhere else, just to my Google, which i don't want. The other one problem was, there's no option to store the photos on your external SD card, only to the internal. Apart from this, a very good ROM. The next i'd like 2 mention is, my all-time fav, Chrack' s XXLRQ v16 Final. I'm using it for a while now, this is the most perfect ROM i ever used on my Note. Everything works perfectly, no FC's, lagging, smooth as melted butter, and it has probably the best battery life i ever experienced. Simply perfect ROM. I cannot recommend anything else more than this.
CM 10.1. Pure; like it should be.

CM 10.1 is the fastest but also the softest
Paranoid Android is the coolest but buggy
All the TW ROMS including stock are dealable and for a major manufacturer to make a ROM that u can actually use WO having to be an I-Drone then i think every veteran would say that's impressive!
but also that, basic functionality doesn't mean that a C student getting a C+ is someone i want to hire or give a medal...u don't get praise for making something that works, after a million failed attempts, especially when u are a zillion dollar company
All the TW ROMs are pedestrian and I never understood why people can't live wo S-Planner? You use a TW ROM BC u have a separate tablet, and u cant live wo SPen...omg are u kidding? hahahahaha
Start flashing virgins, there's no reason we cant direct mobile computing....u can lay down and accept whats given,which is for them, or u can demand the best and push the envelope
Really we just want the hardware...
Thanks Samsung for making a device that I-Drones might look at BC its big but no thanks on trying to make more Samsung drones.... Its not good for humanity, technological advancement or me personally
BTW i use Paranoid Android (Jelly Beer)
