Thanks to my awesome testers, we are back on track.

Boxsell especially!
Make a special note to hit this thanks button whenever you can!

Also 2 new ports on the way. Testing them on my vibrant now.
one of them I like even more than mokee!

@all
If you have a copy of any of my landscape or portraite p1000 p1000l or p1000n kernels, please contact me.

@all
I've been getting many request to bring Boca to more devices.
guess people are finally fed up with ics and jb!

If you are a dev and own another device, kindly contact me if you are interested in becoming a maintainer/dev/porter for your tree/device. This relates to BOCA OS

Cheers

Yes please. I never got to officially release that one. Its a favorite

Also.
do I have any users based IN China?
With an account for this file service?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ylmf.androidclient
Or if you can make one for me, or download updates to a few roms for me,
Please contact me

Thanks again!

Hi, dude, this is the 115 website in China where I upload all your files that I have downloaded before. But you need to log in directly or use the web client. Hope this may give u some help.

Maybe the +0.0.1 is for the special stuff in BOCA?

On the right track!

So here is a small story.
and a question. ;)

You love BOCA's tweakability and speed above all else, correct?
(Many shouts of, "YES!")

well I have been silently following a project called "cyanmobile"
https://github.com/CyanMobile/android_cyanmobile/blob/gingerbread/Definitions.txt
(Not the best description, but I see it all in their code)

Never interacting, nor "borrowing" ANY code. Simply watching.

I've always liked what I saw. A like minded dev.
Tweakability and backporting code to make/keep gingerbread the best os.
many many of the same mods, or ideas.
They have some I don't and vice versa.

Now they have gone open source :)
And I'm merging codes to see what kinda super franken-baby emerges.

The 2.3.8 is their idea, I agree with it, so left it

Incredible! That's what I've always thought! I've always believed hackers, developers and modders in the world would create an Android 2.4, and it would be the best Android version ever!
(Nothing against ICS n' JB, but I believe they must be well-optimized to work well with a device, especially with an old device like ours)

I've already returned to Ginger through CyanogenMod 7.2, but I will immediately return to BOCA if this new release comes.
P.S.
Shh! Keep in a secret, especially with Chirayu Desai: battery drain in CM9 and 10 is terrible!

    WARNING!!! IF YOU ARE COMING FROM AN MTD PARTITIONS ROM (te4m cm9)
    A FULL RE-PARTITION & RESTOCK MAY BE NEEDED
    TO MAKE THIS OR ANY OTHER TAB ROM FUNCTION PROPERLY

    All your data will also be erased.

    Install Instructions
    For Coming From Any Rom That isn't BOCA, MIUI or unofficial port based off of CM7 (Teks)
    (see below for those instructions)​



    As you all know, when switching from rom to rom, something called a safe stock re-partitioned is very much preferred, almost required. Even more so, when jumping from roms with different os bases, example is going from a 2.3 based rom to a 2.3.7 or 4.0.4 (or reverse).
    You need to do this process to kinda bleach out anything that remains of the old rom, as many times these arent properly cleared through a recovery erase, and can leave behind bits and pieces that can, and frequently do, disrupt the next rom you try to run. This is never a good thing, as it can cause anything from a bootloop to mysterious ghost like behaviors. Not to mention many things many not work correctly in your new rom.

    Team Overcome has created, or basically repacked a way to do this. Many thanks!!!!
    TeamOvercome website HERE


    1) Go to Overcomes website, and download a zip called: ROM | 001001-GB-Stock-Safe-v5
    (this is the base, non branded 'official' release of Gingerbread from Samsung. Overcome has made a few modifications to this file, and added Odin, modems and Samsung SGT driver installer to the zip)
    2) While at the Overcome site, also download a zip called: KERNEL | 002001-Overcome Kernel V3.3.1 (TAR)
    (this is a kernel made by AB, with some nice work done to it. But what we need it for is to convert our system to ext4. It will not run BOCA)
    3) Unzip the GB-Stock zip, and open it up.
    4) Open SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86, and run it. This will reinstall, and clean up any old drivers for your tab.
    5) plug in your tab when done, and let you computer fully install you SGT's drivers. Once its finished, unplug your tab.
    6) Unplug any USB devices from your computer, & Open Odin3_v1.7, once it opens, plug your tab back in to your computer, in download mode.
    Under ID:COM, a yellow window should now state your tabs is connected.
    7) Place gt-p1000_mr.pit inside the PIT slot, PDA slot, place: GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar
    8) Make sure Re-partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked, press start.
    9) Once finished, and your tab has rebooted, press reset in Odin. On your tab, skip through all the setup options, and reboot into download mode.
    10) Plug your tab back into your computer, and place: 002001-Overcome_Kernel_v3.3.1.tar into the PDA slot, and press start.
    11) Let your tabs sexy robot voice convert your system, once done, boot into recovery, clear everything, go to zip installer, and choose BOCA from your SD card. Let install.
    *11.1) L/N device users, must now flash your cm7 device kernel
    12) Boot into BOCA, and reboot once.
    13) As with ANY rom, please do a full battery calibration with the included apk, ASAP.
    14) Enjoy BOCA!!

    INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
    (For when coming from BOCA, MIUI or unofficial port based off of CM7​
    1) Boot into your current recovery and clear dalvic cache, cache and user data/factory reset
    2) Go to zip installer and choose BOCA from your SD card
    *3a) L/N device users, must now flash your cm7 device kernel
    3) Boot into BOCA, and reboot once.
    4) As with ANY rom, please do a full battery calibration with the included apk, ASAP.

    OTA Install Instructions

    1)download rom
    2)download gapps
    3)download your devices kernel (P1000/R/T kernel is included with rom)
    4)FLASH in this order: rom, kernel gapps
    5)boot into BOCA, then boot into recovery, fix permissions and...
    6) hit the thanks button and enjoy!!

    I'll revert some stuff and put something new out.
    Hopefully with an OTA feature baked in.

    Also don't forget this has a cyanogen base....... Remember to check cyanogen bug tracker for issues on their end
    or to report them.

    Also Google play is a nightmare in general.
    Some have missing apps (and they are not reporting region and giving clean details) and others see them all.
    Check or report issues HERE
    I'm highly tempted to lock in the market version I know works for most, but I know some will be unhappy that it's an older version.
    Well see what happens there.

    ALL bug reports need info like: device, and region, carrier, exact HONEST steps you took to install, kernel version used, changes to settings and if possible a logcat. pictures can help also.
    not too much to ask, right? If it is, watch this video :)


    Simply stating it doesn't work I went to a different rom doesn't help anyone. It's kinda lazy.

    Help me help you, and all the while remembering or learning a few things.
    This is xda DEVELOPERS. Its not xda product done. It's all a work in progress.
    I work very hard and spend many personal hours, to give you my personal work. Thanks are awesome!
    My device is bricked, and thank the testers for doing there thing
    I don't know everything, if I did, it would be cyanogen miui and boca as the leading alternative android operating systems.

    Please be CLEAR with reports, patience is great and don't forget to have fun

    if you would like to be an active tester, contact me on gtalk. At BOCAroms@gmail.com or hit the contact button an say so.

    diz

    ps
    is everyone enjoying the unrivaled awesomeness that is tweakr?

    Diz Thanks once again for an amazing release.

    The Nemus launcher is a great addition, for myself I prefer it to VTL.

    As Diz has a bricked device I have been doing a bit of testing and am very impressed with the new release.
    Battery life is excellent, it's fast and looks great. Screen shots coming shortly.
    Above you will see all the additions to this rom. The control over the device is amazing, so many options to make it truly yours.

    Installing the new version (my notes for when coming from overcome kernal or BOCA release etc) If in doubt restock

    Copy the RC 2.0.6 to the internal SD card of the tab.
    Remember to backup the device
    In all cases you will need to :-
    Wipe
    Wipe
    Wipe
    Reboot twice
    Log in to Gmail or G Talk.

    Installing from a BOCA release.

    To start, restart to Recovery.

    Use the Volume button to access Wipe menu and Power button to select.
    Wipe Cache
    Wipe Dalvik Cache
    Wipe Data / factory reset

    Once you have wiped your tab clean select Go Back and select install menu then choose zip from internal SD card.

    Local the RC2.0.6.zip file and hit the power button to install
    Once complete go to reboot menu and reboot your tab. As we have wiped the cache etc it will take a while to boot, this is normal.

    Once the system has booted you will be asked to select your launcher. Select one and see what you think. If you want hit the home button and select the other one and then you can chose the best one for you.
    Once you are happy with your launcher, hit home again, tick the box to make the launcher default and select it.

    Now reboot. Don’t bother doing anything else until you have done a reboot.
    If your unlock screen is smaller than the device screen, you have not restarted the device..

    Once your reboot has completed I suggest that you connect to WIFI now. Start the market and put in your details, it will update to play and then you should be ok to update apps install what you need etc.
    Remember Diz does not have a working tab. For this reason some of the apps are not up to date, update from my apps to resolve this.

    Re the status bar, the ROM has an option turned on to enable a dead zone in the middle of the status bar. To pull up the notification bar do it from the right hand side, if you use the middle it will seem that notification bar is not working, this is not the case.
    To disable this go to settings, CyanogenMod settings, Tablet Tweaks and de-select the dead zone.
    The dead zone is great if you are hitting the status bar instead of the space bar whilst typing..
