1st question !

Just bought a French HSDPA 8.9", locked on Orange network
Is there a chance to unlock it, using SGS or SGS2 tools available on Android Market ?
File structure is the same, network lock is probably stored in nv_data.bin (like SGS)

what is required to get the new forum opened for the 8.9? A willing Mod? A certain number of committed devs? Enough user requests (is where do we send them)?

Would you believe that source instead of this one from Samsung? Read around the middle of the page (Google Maps pic).

Anyways I'd love a forum for this tablet I bought on the 7th. It is magnificent and pretty speedy (and even more so when you turn off all animations and delete useless Samsung widgets). Although I am waiting for Samfirmware.com to get the American source (they only have the Asian one for the 7310 which has a different versioning scheme) so I am able to ODIN safely.

    As requested...

    Ok, I will say what I did and how but please note there's no turning back if you make a mistake as there is no American ODIN image (as of today on samfirmware.com) to return the tablet to its original state. That said, I'm not responsible for damages of any kind on your Galaxy Tab 8.9.

    Root Instructions: HERE (also look at the second post for manual entry to the default Samsung Recovery)

    - After rooting, I acquired Titanium Backup on the Market to delete Samsung bloat. There's lots of tutorials for Titanium Backup on the net, but be careful when deleting stuff, you've been warned. If you don't know what is X or Y program, google it or don't touch it. If you delete something you don't have an idea what it is, you run the risk of soft-bricking your Tab, once more, you've been warned.

    - For accelerating shutdown/boot time a little, I used Root Explorer (to backup/copy or delete stuff tap on Mount R/W on the upper side of the app AND PLEASE BACKUP THE FILES/FOLDERS I'M ABOUT TO MENTION in case you want the boot/shutdown animations and tunes back). On /etc folder you see a music file named 1_Power_on.ogg and that's the tune you hear while the phone's booting.

    Then on /system/media you see two files named bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg and yes those are logically the two files responsible for the spacey boot animation. On /system/media/video you see a shutdown folder and logically this is related to the shutdown animation. Before deleting files, I backed up said files (just tapped Copy and pasted them in another location) in case I wanted to restore them later on by putting them where they belong.
