Ok, I tried by myself.
Impressive speed, really. However some annoying quirk:

- Touchpal can't be selected. It installs, but after the choice keyboard is again the default one really too little for this tablet.
- Titanium backup generally works, but not for some specific italian applications that I use. I tried with "2spaghi" and "agriturismo online". They aren't available on market but I could explain, what seems strange is apk doesn't work.

I stopped to test more, because I decided to go back to overcome, however sincerely congratulations


Wow, TouchPal is a huge keyboard!!
It weird!

I market searched for TouchPal, found it , installed it, and followed the very easy simple instructions.

I'm responding To you with TouchPal.
Didn't have one single glitch or issue.


About the current patches.
They are all for 2.3.4, not 2.3.7
I have a 2.3.7 volume bar mod patch, but it's not really ready yet.........
unless the ones who have it speak up and say release it!
I dig the modded volume bar, guys who have it, whats your thoughts on it?

Titanium backup, well guys been without a Comp for about a month now, some somethings, I hope, users can help tweak or fix.

Just had a titanium backup thought,
Is it at all possible, that those apps that refuse to come back, wont do it because they wont run on 2.3.7?

Hey
Stranger things have happened, just thinking aloud and throwing it out there.
;-)



Ps
How's my recently posted Hulu mod working for you guys?
Other than HULU having too many commercials, that is!
Btw, its on page 4 post #36

Hello dizgustipated,
the Android's beauty is everybody can have his personal phone with his personal taste :D

Sincerely, touchpal wasn't the stop-shopper here. I know instructions are very simple, unfortunately I can never select it as I said.

However the real problem for me was I had no chance to use local apps. For example 2spaghi is to look a restaurant near you and it's very helpful in a city like Rome.

I understand those are minor problems generally speaking however for me are not so minor... :(

I confirm my impression was simply fantastic, even if I've understood I've to find many application to substitute the Samsung ones because I don't really like the stock google apps for mail, calendar, address book and so on. But I'm sure this can be easily solved.

The modded volume bar could be tweaked but it's far better than the old one. I would say release it, works well just the speaker is not lined up with the text on the left (centred) which really is nothing.
I like the addition of the new font as well.

Open it and install
Google the pretty much illegal nvidia plugin
Open chainfire
Apply plugin, and go to default open gl settings
Click reduce texture size
Oogle in Shadowguns awesomeness
And realize not only did portable devices just equal or surpass Xbox/playstation

But our over a year old tab still rocks and is I believe the best all around tablet out, still

Hi

I installed the boca 2.3.7 and it is fast, thumb keyboard and swiftkey were both lagging before (overcome), but now they are smooth as butter.

I have one problem, I can`t find the facebook app in the market place, and when trying to install it from the internet store it said my device isn`t supported. Does anyone have the same problem or know why this is happening?

In /system/build.prop:
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-P1000/GT-P1000:2.3.3/GINGERBREAD/XXJQ1:user/release-keys
(replace BOCA with XXJQ1)
Seems to have resolved some market compatibility issues :)

On another note -- a handful of apps are now broken in the latest release:
"3D Compass Pro", "Movies", "Weatherbug Elite", to name a few...
Titanium Backup would not restore them, would just hang forever at 0% (until killed),
So I tried to install them from the Market and I get: "Error -- missing library"
Anyone else see this? Any ideas what the missing library is?
(one commonality in these apps may be GPS/Network Location, however other similar apps are OK)
:confused:

First, thank you very much for this wonderful rom. The boot up animation is absolutely beautiful, I hope you never change it.
I was already using Vtl as my launcher before Boca, so needless to say this is my favourite launcher and I'm glad to see you use with Boca. I had a newer Vtl version but still a free version though. I also use both the Faenza ADW themes for the icons.
A couple of apps so far send Titanium into an endless loop which only stop when you reboot. Tubemate and Richard Dawkins App.
I also seem to get far fewer app updates than I used to get with stock Froyo.
The battery seems much the same as before maybe a little better, even though I followed the included battery apps instructions exactly and I had wiped everything according to the install instructions.
All in all a great rom and I will use as a daily driver.

The battery lasts about one and a half times longer than overcome FOR ME.

Really ? Up to now the Cyanogen based ROMs have had shorter battery life (But better performance...). What has changed to make it last much longer ? Better drivers ? (Not doubting, just wnat to be informed before I go through the process of flashing it)

    "....BOCA's back, with twice the nitrous, & twin turbos!"




    A quick message from ME!
    I have NEVER, sold this rom, nor any open source software.
    Nor, have I ever CHARGED money for access to my early releases.

    The issue was with kernel source code, (or lack of it)
    and in my public voice of dissatisfaction

    Again, never have sold ANYTHING! But according to the GPL, I can.

    Apparently, every single developer,
    more so kernels and applications, developed under the GPL,
    are required to have a source code up.
    Kernels are GPL, my rom's apps are Apache


    PLEASE REPORT ANY THREADS
    OR DEVELOPERS
    of roms/kernels & apps
    THAT DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE GPL!!!!

    It is illegal software.
    Alot of paid apps are GPL, and a source code is required

    Also:
    According to XDA: having a contributor release, is acceptable, but not preferred by xda.
    Therefore: the Contributor program will remain.

    Kernel source added: go to my website, and hit the information tab.


    Although, I choose to advertise my work on XDA:
    because of recent treatment, I will not be here, much
    I will check in here, from time to time,
    but I much prefer you join me on my website.
    Fell free to post and discuss here, there...anywhere!

    Thank you, everyone, who showed your support, while I was XDA banned


    ROM Permissions:
    NO part of BOCA may be relinked, nor uploaded anywhere.
    Period.
    Nor distributed in whole or part, without my permission,
    and possibly the other developers whose work is in BOCA.

    KERNEL Permissions:
    full permissions granted,
    just give me credit,
    and link me to active/inactive work it's used in or to create

    Major thanks to Humbros & Ronis for this newest release


    I look forward to reading your BOCA reviews

    push it to system/media and reboot


    I have also archieved all my previous rom releases, in anticipation of

    (hit thanks if i helped)

    No, don't worry!
    Not stopping production

    Just stopping for now, until I can fully support a release, give it the attention a favorite child always gets.

    Older BOCA users know how I feel about my work. The attention I give it, and also its users.
    and hopefully understand.

    A solution to ones problems is always as close/hard as they believe it to be
