Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 - fix partitions

This little guide is written down after I managed to screw up my partitions on my Galaxy Tab while rooting it. Luckily I still had some space that allowed me to reinstall stock firmware through Odin. I wrote a blog post on how to do this here . Then I had to get a recovery bootloader that gave me root access in recovery mode and the parted tool. So if you have a booting Android but with fucked up partitions, try this. PS! Android will probably not boot after this. So know you will have to reinstall. And if you have something on your SDcard you should back it up, you probably need to remove all partitions if you have a real screw up. You can resize if you want to get advanced though. The guide is written for windows command line . 1. You device must be booted into Android at first. Install Samsung Kies and make sure it can connect to your PC, you need the drivers that comes with it. 2. Install ADB, it comes with Android SDK . When you have ADB you should test it.

Galaxy Tab 7 GT-P1000 - install Gingerbread

1st here's a good full guide with descriptions that I've read through here . 2nd there another good guide here . Download Samsung Kies here . Download Odin 1.7 from XDA-developers  here .

XBMC library - sharing and securely saving library in a database / mysql

So first of all you should look at XBMC's official explanation as it's probably more presice than mine now: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Sync_multiple_libraries I will short it down to the basics: When you add a source in XBMC the library automatically stores itself on a local database called Sqlite on your local filesystem somewhere. Most people don't know about this and it will easily be lost when reinstalling. To not lose your library information that has been recorded over a long time you really should use a database like MySQL to store it. More databases is probably supported and equally set up. Library information is stuff like which episodes and movies have you seen, have you seen only half the movie etc. It also contains filepaths for each and every file. So all you need to watch your videos and listen to your music is stored here. It will also suit for sharing the information if you have several xbmc installations (I will refer to them as cl...
