Why is TouchWiz on Acer and not Tab 10.1? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can somebody explain how the Acer A500 has a TouchWiz UX rom and we don't?
Am I missing something? How can I install TouchWiz on my tab now...

I assume that it was hacked over from the 10.1v, the same way people sometimes do for Sense on non-HTC phones.
I'd just wait for the official Touchwiz update, personally. Hacking in these frameworks on foreign devices can be take a lot of time to get stable and full-featured and by that time Sammy will have probably already released their Touchwiz update.

Oh.. I didn't know the 10.1v had TouchWiz UX

It didn't come from the 10.1v - it ships by default with a very vanilla HC 3.0.1
The new HC 3.1 rom from seo comes with TouchWiz. It's a little sluggish in places - esp using the Samsung Keyboard (although the incl. Swype keyboard doesn't suffer from any issues).
The taskbar at the bottom is a little too sensitive - you find yourself touching the screenshot icon by mistake when in landscape & holding the tab at the bottom.
Notification icons - either on the taskbar or from the popup settings panel don't always launch the assoc app (like gmail) - it's a little sensitive about where you tap.
Seo implemented some fixes in the kernel which fix USB charging when plugged into the PC.
Kernel devs should follow his 7100 github repo (https://github.com/stefansaraev/gtab-p7100-3.1-kernel) for details of the fix.

The rom on the A500 has this "Based on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7500) P7500XXKF8_OXAKF8_XXKF8 ROM (Honeycomb 3.1)" ...
Which means there is a 3.1 TouchWiz rom for our 10.1 Tabs somewhere that we 10.1 owners don't have access to....?
*Edit*
Just found that there is a 3.1 TouchWiz released for the 10.1v here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155023

The 10.1v models are P7100, the 10.1 range are the P75x0.
Apart from a few minor updates - I don't think any tabs, apart from the GoogleIO 10.1 tablets, have received proper HC updates yet.
But this is one of the reasons XDA exists isn't it? To pull together all the fragments from the myriad of builds & updates into something cohesive - fixing all the bugs introduced by the hardware vendors & network operators.

I thought it was...
7 inch is GT-P1000
10.1 is GT-P7510
10.1v is GT-P7100

10.1 is 7500 & 7510 - depending on 3g & I wasn't including the 7" devices

Oh okay.. Your first post you said our 10.1 is p71x0 instead of p75x0 which got me confused

ah - ta! It's late and I'm working through until morning on a last min demo app for a client.

I thought it was ironic that another tab got touchwiz before us. Even if it was hacked over, lol.

[Q] How can i root tab 10.1 to honeycomb 3.2

I am having Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Honeycomb 3.1. Is it possible to root this to honeycomb 3.2? If so, please share how can it be done? Is there a big difference between 3.1 and 3.2?
You can't "root to 3.2", root has nothing to do with the update to Android 3.2. You want an update to 3.2 but that doesn't exist for the Galaxy Tab yet. So "3.1" is as high as it gets for now.
3.2 brings support for smaller screen sizes (like 7") and smaller resolutions (1024x600). Both changes are not relevant for us. The second "major" change is an option to scale phone apps to use the whole screen. But since most of them run in fullscreen anyway and the ones that don't look like crap blown up to full screen, it's not much of a loss.

CM9 or AOKP with all the touchwiz goodies!
@ both posts above
aosp will never have any parts of touchwiz, that has been the case in the past but now we are getting some good features in touchwiz package so lets what developers decide.....
I want Darky to get his hands on 1 and write stuff :].
Voodoo sound engine
And just Root, to delete TouchWiz for LauncherPro or Zeam.
MIUI (2.3.7 build, features are better and more compatible).
Stock Mod (Bloat removed, update kernel I assume it will be Sense 4.0 considering the timing).
CM9 depending (or CM7 something more stable).
You can tell I'm leaning towards older builds for the simple fact it's more stable than any ICS releases for obvious reasons. I figure it will come around as time goes on but as for now I think the forums are full of garbage, the quality of what's released has gone way down hill and I understand that not everything is over night perfection but in the same turn why release faulty development when there's no way to correct the problems (like camera, network, USB etc.)
I'm not bashing anyone's work so don't take offense if you think I'm pointing fingers, I think that all the hype around ICS has everyone jumping through hoops to get something on the forums that just doesn't hold up to the standard that everyone wants credit for.
For sure voodoo sound

[Q] [REQ] Method of UNIVERSAL Tablet UI Mod for Gingerbread/ICS

Well I got myself an Epic 4G (OG) with AOKP/CM7/CM9 and a Chinese ICS tablet (I am a Chinese high school student myself...) so I'm easily fascinated by the tablet UI of ICS. Apart from that, once I testdrived CM7 on my tablet and the Honeycomb-style softkey really enlightened me...
So today I was wandering the net and came up with this:
rootzw i ki. com/topi c/20451-mod -9-roms-table t-mode/ [REMOVE SPACES - THE FORUM WON'T LET ME PUT LINKS...]
Well, there's support for tablet UI mod for 9 different ICS roms inside for Galaxy Nexus...
But then look at the version required - it seems that the packs are not just modded for a specific phone, a specific ROM but also for a specific version... So it's kinda useless to me... Tried more search and returned no more results except that someone mentioned that some mods could be done in /res/values/bools.xml of framework-res.apk (I'm no total noob and I know how)...
So question is, is there really a way as detailed as modding DPIs and framework-res.apk to enable tablet mode on ICS? To make it further, is it available for Gingerbread?(i.e. putting FULL CM7 Tablet Tweaks on ALL phones without compiling a new ROM) And for tablets, any way to disable tablet UI as well? (My tablet HAS capacitive keys designed for portrait use like a Galaxy Tab P1000 so I would like to disable Tablet UI for it)
EDIT: Modding DPI only doesn't seem to do it at least on my tablet - DPI from 120 to 240 but results are only bigger nav bar and buttons...
Bump... sinks so fast

Original Keyboard Dock not working with Cyanogenmod

Hello all,
I just wanted to share with you, that my Original Samsung Keyboard Dock is not working with Cyanogenmod 9 from the Development Section here.
Does anybody have a solution for this?
Will it ever work with Cyanogenmod?
So far I am very very impressed with Speed and Stability of the latest CM9 Version by locerra.
Hopefully someone can chime in on the Keyboard Dock Situation...
Thanks again all for making such an incredible Community.
Cheers
qwertz
Doesn't work for me too
Did you ever find a solution for this OP?
I was loving CM10 since its first release, but just went back to the Samsung ICS stock rom last night as i wanted to use the dock keyboard
Thinking of selling it now nad just getting a bluetooth one
just went back to the Samsung ICS stock rom

Same thing for me on SGT-P7510 on sammobile.com
Swiftkey app is a little compatible with external keyboards.
Something like this : go into the settings of the keyboard swiftkey app, validate the Terms od use choose English (US), define Swiftkey as the default input, and therefore in its parameters, go to Advanced > then choose External Keyboard Layout > English and it's good !
Or save the Samsung Keyboard .apk on ICS Stock ROM and bring the application on CM10. Maybe it could work
This is a known limitation of cyanogenmod.
have you read of any hacks / alternate soft keyboards that can get it to work?
The stock ICS rom is so limiting (and to me seems slow) compared to the JB rom (CM10)
i recall having to enable the dock option in the cm settings for my xoom, perhaps the same is true for the gtab?
in Paranoid rom working of keyboard doc should be fixed. I dont have one to test, unfortunately
here is link to changelog http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838391
Works with the latest CM10 build too (the modified one recently uploaded):
Should work in the latest "official" rom too.

[Q] What is the name of the split screen mod/rom?

I had a rom installed on my Tab which allowed it to run multiple apps at the same time in a kind of split screen mode. (up to 3 apps if i remember correctly). I want to install this rom but totally forgot its name and can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know the name of this rom/mod?
I don't want to hear answers like "Use overskreen"... It was true multitasking with every app supported.

Are you talking about running multiple apps side by side? There aren't any ROMs for ICS or JB that I am aware of that permit this function. I know the new Galaxy Tab Note 10.1 has this functionality and it looks wicked cool!
On the factory-based ROMs for ICS you can use widgets from the Navigation Bar that will overlay email, calendar and notes widgets on top of the app that you are in, but I'm guessing you are talking about something else.

Yes, there really was a ROM which allowes running 3 apps side by side but I don't rember if it was Gingerbread or ICS. I think it was a AOKP based ROM. I had it installed on my tablet and it worked.
Found it. It's name is Onskreen Cornerstone. And the ROM I tested was AOKP based. I think it was a build by Roman the AOKP guy.(http://onskreen.com/cornerstone/index.php)
But I sill haven't found the ROM again.
