Make sure that you have the WIFI tab. This is ONLY made for the WiFi tablet. Second, if you are installing from Cyanogenmod, make sure that you nuke your cache, data, and system partitions then restore a backup.

When restoring your backups, sometimes it may seem that the recovery has locked up, this may not be the case. Our recovery is very basic and lacks a lot of functions. While the screen may look frozen, it may actually be processing your restore. Please give your tablet at least 10 minutes to attempt to do a restore.

If you are having issues flashing try these steps:
1. Go back to a stable ROM or a stock one
2. Nuke the system, data, and caches on it
3. Flash the ROM
4. Nuke the caches and data
5. Restore your stable or stock ROM
6. Nuke the data and caches
7. Flash the Fast Form ROM and reboot

If you simply cannot get your backup to restore through the recovery, just wipe your data, cache, dalvik cache (under advanced in recovery), and system (under mounts and storage). Then flash the stock ROM zip or the Deodexed one by Antiochasylum

I am definitely on the WIFI Tab, I know that for sure. Secondly, I cant get my tablet to USB to move the stock ROM onto the storage.

Oh, and I am coming from a rooted, but STOCK ROM. I also waited LITERALLY an hour on bootloop just to see if it would ever move on. I'm on the verge of Heimdall-ing (I'm on a MAC so I can't ODIN) to stock to start all over, but if you have any other suggestions before I do that they would be appreciated.

Pop out the sdcard and throw that in another device if you have one and throw the stock rom on there and put in back in your tablet. Or put the card in a MicroSD->SDcard converter then pop it in your computer. Also try reinstalling your drivers for the tablet. MACs can sometimes get messed up with android devices. I'm sorry I can't really help you much more from there.
IF your device ever bootloops the Bootanimation or the Samsung logo part with the sound, then it's not going to get passed that stage. IF it get's stuck on the splash screen or the black screen when you first turn it on then it will eventually get passed that.
Good luck! Sorry the inconvenience!

Yeah. Just follow those steps after you get a clean stock ROM on there.

I believe the battery life is quite good. With the stock rom, mymthe Android OS was always 15, sometimes it reached 30-40. With this rom, the Android OS is 8 after an hour playing game, surfing Net

ok so, i cant find working heimdall files anywhere... im just gonna try installing another rom and seeing if i can get past the splash screen... and if so, hopefully no bootloop... im getting so discouraged tho.... it would be much easier if i had a pc...

-------edit-------

the rom im gonna try is the odex file u pointed me towards earlier... i really hope it works...

Just tested out the effects of enabling the Just in Time compiler (JIT) and it helps and has no side effects from what I have tested so feel free to add it to the ROM.

Code:
#enables dalvik jit
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit

I am slowly testing different build.prop tweaks to ensure there are no bad effects. Especially wireless tweaks due to SODs... :mad:

Download link for B2 seems to be down.
Can someone post a mirror?

I downloaded B2 yesterday, but I think that download might be corrupt. Retried downloading and no dice :\

Oh it is. Sorry I guess to much bandwidth was being used. I'll be sure to re upload it as soon as I get home! Sorry for the inconvenience. For now see if you can get some one to mirror it. Once again I'm sorry!

EDIT

OP Updated with latest version! Just a really minor update this time. I have some good stuff in store though! :D I hope you guys are enjoying the ROM! Throw in any requests if you have any and I'll be sure to evaluate them and if they are badass enough, throw them in the ROM. xD

Anyways... yeah, this is just a small update, just wipe caches and flash over Beta2 or if you're a newcomer, I'd wipe data and caches (Facility Reset / Data Reset / Just format those both lol) and then flash.

P.S. Anyone been playing with the camera mods? It's still not a great camera, but it takes some really good close up shots!

I am looking at the OP and it says you fixed the GPU driver. What does that mean exactly?

wut does this actually improve camera quality??? I mean the samples indicate that.
It improves it. I can say how much, being it depends on what kind of shots you're taking. The image compression is set to 0%, so you're getting the full quality here. If you notice you can see the fibers on the dollar bill and the dust on my speaker control module, originally with the default camera settings 40% compression, the images would not have shown those details.

A ah yes I see. This must be the build.prop optimizations from the GT 7.7

A shame this doesn't work with my 3g tab...:-(

    Fast Form
    Based off of OMGBBQROM with a pinch of magic from Antiochasylum
    6.1.12​
    Keys.jpg

    Information

    'Fast Form' is a minimalistic stock ROM created from the latest Honeycomb firmware by Samsung.
    This is one of my first public released ROMs so it's not the greatest, however I really want to try and make it the best I can!
    I'm trying to keep this ROM stable and smooth so I won't add something that benefits one feature, but breaks another. I want a
    smooth device for myself to get through my first year of high school. In order to meet these standards, the ROM is based off of
    OMGBBQROM by bdds13. Big thanks to him for letting me use his ROM as a base! As of 1p.m. PST 6.1.12, the ROM now also
    includes the favorable ICS theme by Antiochasylum! Thanks for letting me use it in my ROM! :D


    Features
    • Latest Honeycomb firmware by Samsung
    • Rooted
    • Zip-aligned apps
    • De-odexed
    • Stability and Support
    • Includes latest version of the Market or Playstore
    • De-Bloated
    • Speed Enchancments
    • Build.prop Tweaks
    • And many more other modifications!
    Coming Soon
    • Better stability
    • More speed tweaks
    • New included apps
    • Other cool features
    Special Thanks

    I just wanted to thank bdds13 for the base and Antiochasylum for the theme + all of my friends on XDA for teaching me a little bit about how ROMs work!

    Disclaimer
    I am not responsible if you brick, break, blow up, drop, lose, or get your device pregnant. Everything you do is your responsibility.
    This ROM is only made for the GT-P6210/WiFi only Tablet, It is not compatible with Gary's Kernel, and it may not work on everyone's device.
    I'm not a real developer and I don't know how to fix your device if you break it!


    Installation
    MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU BEGIN. Place ROM zip on your device. It may go on the Tablet storage or an external sdcard. Enter the recovery by pushing Power+Vol_Up (releasing power after the tab is turned on), then install.
    It's recommended to wipe all of your caches and if coming from a different ROM, a full data wipe. DO NOT WIPE YOUR SYSTEM!

    I might work on a ROM for the GT-P6200 :)
    Let's see how many people actually would use it though first. I would also need someone to be a pre-release tester before I release it to the OP. I don't own a 3G tab so I can't test out any modifications I make.

    Aside from the possibility of making one for the 3G tab, I would like to also toss out an ETA for the next update-- tomorrow.
    Tomorrow will be the last Beta release, so far none of the modifications have broken anything, so awesome for us!
    After beta releases, I'll clean up the OP and start working on a really nice Release Client.

    Oh and I'm also trying to get a better host! Does anyone know of a good site that's free?

    Thanks!
