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.
Download Firmware of chosen version here (tsar3000) or here (thegalaxytabforum).

Now this is how you do it step by step:

1. Install Samsung Kies and connect your Tab
If you haven't already installed Kies and tested that your tab can connect to your computer, you should do it now. This is mainly because Kies will take care of the needed drivers to connect to the computer. So go ahead and check if there's connection.

2. Put your tab into download mode
Turn it off - then turn it on by holding power button and volume down button.
You need this to work before you can go on.
Should look like this:


3. Start Odin and connect the Galaxy Tab
Just start Odin and connect the tab with USB. If it connects the ID:COM field will look something like this:
 with the text "<ID:0/009> Added!!" under the Message field.


4. Unzip the firmware file
I've selected this firmware-file which is 2.3.3:
P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ.zip
unzipped I get 2 new files:
PIT-file: gt-p1000_mr.pit
Firmware: P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME.tar


5. Select PIT-file and Firmware-file4
The PIT-file is for partitioning. So this is only used when you need to re-partition - which is the case here when installing new firmware.
So select the pit-file you unzipped and make sure the Re-Partition flag is set.
Then set the PDA flag and select the firmware. Shoud look like this:

6. Start and wait for reboot
Hit start and wait - it will take up to 10 minutes. You should see the progress bar advancing slowly:

7. Reboot into recovery mode and delete cache and user data
You should probably delete all cache and user data because this data can be corrupt. You enter recovery mode by shutting down your device first and then hold power and volume up buttons when turning it on. There you will find how to delete cache and user data.

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...

ASRock ION 3D 152B/152D with Ubuntu Linux and XBMC. Remote control / HDMI audio

ASrock ION 3D 152B I landed on this little computer as my mediacenter for my living room. It's small, looks nice and has all the features you would like to run a mediacenter. I wanted to write about my experience with setting it up with Ubuntu Linux and XBMC. I don't want to describe every detail of it because most of it works quite nicely. So I will focus on the harder parts, which is basically making the remote control work with the XBMC interface and getting the audio through the HDMI cable. I also would like to add that I switched the default harddrive which is a normal HDD 5400 rpm and works quite slow. -I installed the latest version of Ubuntu Desktop and made sure that the audio and video drivers works as they should, which they do. I then removed software afterwards which I don't need. You can also do this the other way round by installing a minimal installation like LXDE. -I then installed XBMC by following these steps. Which is simply a...
