App to Watch Free Live TV Channels & Movies on Galaxy Tab

Live TV on mobile phone has become reality since a long time and with 3G you get faster streaming of data which provides uninterrupted service.
The Mimobi is a TV application for mobiles to enjoy watching live TV on your phone. Phone? then why not on tablet? Since tablets are mobile devices with larger screen, its possible to watch live TV on Galaxy Tab tablets. We just come out here to show you how it works on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Since watching of live TV using the Mimobi.TV app is possible on 10.1 inches screen it is also possible to watch on 8.9 inches version and 7 inches version too. Not sure whether it works for other Honeycomb tablets!
The Mimobi app comes pre-installed on Samsung Galaxy Tab with other apps. This application supports HD TV playback but not sure whether HD TV channels like Discovery HD, Star Cricket HD, Star Plus HD, ESPN HD, etc., are available by Mimobi app.
Procedure to Watch Live TV on Galaxy TAB
There is not much long procedure for accessing Mimobi app on your Galaxy Tab, here are few steps procedure -

• Tap on “Apps” from any home screen on your tablet.

• Now among the various pre-installed apps tap on Mimobi or Mobile TV and once you tap on it, it will launch quickly within no time.
• If you are using it for the first time then you would require service activation, which is done by sending SMS on your Galaxy Tab. So you should have a 3G SIM inserted on your Galaxy Tab.

• Then check back the SMS that you have received. It will be received in no time.

• You would be then taken to the homepage of Mobile TV app on your Galaxy Tab and this is how it looks

• It has three tabs – Home, Live TV and Shows. Click on ‘Live TV‘ and you would get the list of channels along with categories on the left side.

• There are many channels to watch out for and you can choose categories to view more channel specific listings.

• There are different categories in which you can organise and one good thing I liked about this app is that, it will list all of your favorite channels in “Subscribed” category.
• This is how I watch live TV on tablet. You have the option of choosing the resolution to HD or normal playback along with various other settings.

Importantly accessing live TV on your tablet would require the need of any data connection, if you have Wi-Fi available then its easy to connect but if you have 3G then you would be charged accordingly to your data plans.

So, it was last time when we saw on how you can update your Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 with the XWKPT Gingerbread 2.3.4 firmware and found that not many of the users are happy with this version of firmware as despite the version being increased from Gingerbread 2.3.3 to the Gingerbread 2.3.4, not many functionalities as well as the visible changes are found. So, we thought of coming out with a procedure where in the real magic of Android can be experienced on your powerful Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 handset with the help of the custom ROM.

If you are already aware of the custom ROM, then you know what sort of customization it offers and for those who don’t know much about what we are talking then not to worry as we are here to guide you to not only understand but to apply this custom ROM on your phone. So, the custom ROM which we will be seeing is having the name of “Ginger REAL”.

Please note that you will have to ensure that the phone is rooted which we will see in the due course of this article on how you can root the device. Just in case if your device is already rooted then you need not worry as you can directly proceed with the procedure which is mentioned below. Also, please note that just in case if you have enabled any sorts of the lag fixes then you should disable the same so that these don’t affect the procedure of applying this custom ROM update.

Disclaimer: In any manner we should not be held responsible in parts or in whole if any damage happens to your device caused by updating the firmware which is a very unlikely event if you follow the instructions as mentioned in the article. The instructions include the pre requisites and the procedure to update the phone.

I've attached the old bootloader repackaged in a tarball for Odin. Anyone who's flashed the full firmware package and cannot reset their binary counter flash this with Odin and then try the Jig. Place tarball in the PDA section of Odin
