    FYI, you P7200 users, let me know if this works for you. If not I can cook you up a ROM no problem.

      Bob, you sir, are A F***ING GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Booted and Rooted! System is most definitely writable. All I did was download with windows, extract, open your RKAndroidTool, Erase IDB, Run. No check boxes or partitions changed. Simple as pie. You have no idea how greatful I am for this and for acknowledging my help even when not required. Way to go above and beyond the call, wish more developers were a lot like you. What else, if anything, would you like help with or tested?

      By the way, not sure about latest or anything, but the universal cm version of gapps seems like it would be a perfect match for this rom. Posting link of the one I was playing with.

      definitely latest as of 12/28/2011

      I let all the people over at xda know about your awesome work along with a quick feature list (link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=236)

        Dave, Firday night and I have to get off the keyboard for a bit
        Have a beer and couch potato it a little...

        Yes I will want you to help me get the Market sorted as I want full "proper" market not a side loaded one from APKs. Please see this thread for the Nextbook where I uploaded my Market files to find which one caused a problem. It maybe the same for this Tab as theirs. Go to the last say 10 posts and download my Market files.

        Also.... CREDIT where CREDIT is due buddy... You did help me! Hoping others find success and then lets work on an even better ROM to get this Tab smokin!

        X51, I got your PM's and thanks for the offer but please try this ROM and let me know if it works for you. If not, I will make a P7200. I thank you kindly for the offer of sending me a 7200! I am not sure it is needed now so hang on to it a bit as we make the ROM better and then give it to someone that can really use it! Again THANK YOU for the offer.

        You guys are great man! I enjoy working with you all!

        You will see we are making a place here that is different than everywhere else. I hope you all stay and play

          I am all about chillin' back on the weekends man, enjoy! So you know though, I did at one time extract the gapps I linked you and added them to a working build of cm7 on my tab and apps worked fine except for the sign in part (no wifi). So, I think it would be a good place to start. Anyway, have a good weekend, I got plenty to play with now! Might just adb push the proper files. And edit the build.prop for a fake market

            Chidave, I am going to now make a ROM with full market preinstalled. You ready to test it soon? Maybe about an hour from now?

              Yes I will be ready, hope it goes better than the things I tried least night, lol. Seems like networklocation.apk was breaking things

                Yes, that was the ticket. I just tested and removeing networkloaction.apk from the package solved it. Turns out your tabs (and the nextbook) network location Service is in /bin so no need to replace that.

                I should have to ROM up real soon now.

                Thanks for testing Dave.... Have you figured out how to unpack boot.img and repack yet? If not I can give you some pointers.

                  I managed to get it extracted, but that's about it

                    Well lets make sure your extracting it right.

                    Boot.img is really just a gzip but with a header added and a CRC at the end.
                    So here is what I do

                    Unpack:
                    Use DD to copy the file and remove the 8 bytes of the header.
                    dd if=boot.img of=bootskip.gz skip=8 bs=1 count=20000000

                    I made the count really high for other ROMs but the way this works is DD will hit EOF and stop anyway. You just want the count high enough to get the entire file.

                    Now unzip it. Gzip will complain of trailing garbage. Ignore it. Thata the old CRC.

                    To pack it:
                    gzip it up. Then do a rkcrc to the zip file.
                    NOW IMPORTANT OR IT WONT BOOT!
                    Open the file in a hex editor and edit the first four bytes from PARM to KRNL

                    You should be good to go.

                      your extraction process is much easier than mine!

                      Open the boot.img using the Hex Editor


                      Look for the gzip magic number 1F 8B in the Hex values.
                      Delete the data before 1F 8B


                      and save the image as boot.image.gz


                      now, extract this gzip file using gunzip


                      $gunzip boot.image.gz


                      This will create a file called boot.img

                      Right click, extract here

                      Thank you for the much more simple way and how to repack
