Hello Welcome to the gang.

Yes, ICS is quite cool and seems to run quite well one something that was not officially support it!

This lol

I remembered when I first got my tab (in short, I traded a laptop, Xbox 360, and games used for a brand new SGT). First thing I did was rooted it via some app. Then I proceeded to install busybox for some reason, then thought "meh I feel like going back to stock" so I just uninstalled busybox (ignoring whatever message it said about not uninstalling it).

Tab didn't reboot, then I panicked and tried flashing something with Odin (not sure what it was, but I ended up trying to fill all the boxes in Odin with some files and then flashing). It failed

Eventually, I then just gave up trying to keep stock and went with Overcome

So I'm pretty lucky to still have my tab lol...

Nowadays, I find it easy to try out different ROM's (I always just restock according to Overcome's GB guide, then proceed to flash a custom ROM and Kernel)

I'd recommend spending some time on Froyo stock for a bit, then eventually trying to update to either stock Gingerbread, or another stable Gingerbread ROM (such as Overcome or Hyperdroid). Then do a bit of research and then try to go to ICS.

Just be careful on what your flashing, always double-check things, and check out people's feedback

Guess my story about being careful wasn't needed

Welcome to this device ;) hope you enjoy it as much as I do, it really is useful for when my wife decides the spend hours on our desktop browsing facebook...lol
Ics is awesome and imo runs perfectly on sgt7 appart from no camera.

I believe the roger's tab uses the GT-P1000 kernel but I'm not sure...do a quick search or ask the guys here.

Oh and btw, HumberOS build is quite outdated compared to the releases from Slim's build which can be found here. This ROM .zip already comes with kernel so it should work just fine on your tab I guess? And don't forget to flash gapps after ROM, but I guess that's pretty obvious judging from the other devices you messed with lol

I also bricked my Tab a few times when I started flashing ROMs on it not too bad tho since it's pretty much impossible to hardbrick the tab afaik, I never did and I flashed some pretty dumb stuff on it lol just keep a GB Stock ROM in your pc to flash with Odin/Heimdall and reflash it whenever you softbrick your tab that's what I used to do that or Overcome ROM.
