At least I admit to being completely green here. Please be gentle.
I got my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 today. All I want is a recommendation on which ROM to put on this bad boy, please. I have already rooted it following the instructions found here. Rooting was a piece of cake.
When I look at all of the ROMs available, I am kind of confused as to which ones I can actually use with my model of tablet.
It is a model GT-P7500 which the following:
Android v3.1
Baseband P7500UBKG6
Kernel 2.6.36.3
[email protected] #1
Build number HMJ37.UBKG9 P7500UBKG9
Thank you very much for your suggestions. I am looking very forward to enjoying my tablet.
By the way, I did do some research, but get kind of confused because when I read about the different ROMs available, I am not sure which one can be used on my tablet. I don't want to mess up by attempting to install something that I am not supposed to. I figure it is better to ask for advise than it is to turn my tablet into a door stop.
Thank you all, again!
What tablet do you exactly have (there are variations of that tablet)?

Not to sound like a complete idiot, but what do you want to know, exactly? I posted what I thought would be needed, but am not sure where to find the "variation" info. I posted everything from the "about tablet" screen.
I appreciate you answering my question. Thank you.

It turns out that you have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7500 (3G & WiFi). You could check out this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268099 or this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233328 .
Thank you very much. I will check those out.
Edit: I was looking at the ROMs at those two links provided. Unless I am mistaken, they are not for my tablet.
Or, do the ROMS work on any tablet, regardless of the build and baseband I currently have?

I'm not sure what you are asking. If you are asking if I am asking how to use ROMs, then in a sense, yes, I am.
I am not quite sure if I can apply just any ROM I want to. I noticed that when people post ROMs, they post which device they were made on. If my device is different, I am not sure if I can use the ROM or not. That is what I am asking.
When I look at the ROMs that are in the links above, they are not created using the same firmware that I have. I want to ask for advice before doing something stupid.
Thank you.

If a rom is not made for your device, do not ever try to flash it. Unless, of course, you want to turn your device into an expensive paper weight . If you flash a rom not made for your device, it will be bricked.

Thank you. That is what I was trying to find out. But, to clarify... I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1. Can I use any ROM made for a Galaxy Tab 10.1? Or, are there other parameters that also need to match? If so, what parameters?
I really appreciate the help you guys provide. Kudos!

Only if it is your version of the tab. Example - You should not flash a rom made for the Wifi-only model of the tab since you have the 3G+Wifi model.

Great! Thank you. I was under the impression that the ROM had to come from the same firmware version, etc. But, if it is just model specific, that is a huge help.
Thank you, again!!
Another question to help me understand. In one of the links posted above, the ROM instructions say:
Please note that your Base stock Rom should be JPKG6
then:

This is what is confusing to me. If I have a Wi-Fi/3G model (GT-P7500), and it is not based on JPKG6, according to the instructions, I should not use this ROM. But, in the last post you said that as long as the model is the same, it is OK.
Why the instruction to have base stock ROM, then?
Hey guys, is there a way to update my rom without SD Card, since my 10.1 version does not have it ?!?!
Thank you !!
Your tab does too have a SD card, just not an external one.

Welcome to android. Your question sort of outed you as an android noob. That's alright, but you have a lot of reading to do before you mess with ROMs and the like. Good luck, and happy flashing!

Congratulations. You're the first. It's not going to be easy to help you since no one here as seen a G-Tab ICS shipping ROM yet. You're going to get inundated with requests for a system dump though.
Any chance the cameras on this puppy are the same as on last year's model?
hello,
acctualy i am a starter , any suggest to reslove the problem?
i just want to root it. can i test other ways?
thanks.
Is this th galaxy tab 2 10.1 ?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA
yes it is
Hows ics on it?

And there's no root at the moment I presume. It usually takes 1-2 months after a device is released for custom roms to begin to appear.

Hoping someone can help me figure out the easiest way to move my larger games (and save data, if applicable) from my internal memory to the 64gb external SD card I originally planned on using it all for.. I recently rooted my phone and the first thing I wanted to get done is this memory move. Been having nothing but problems so far.. I saw a video showing someone using a program called GL to SD and it looked easy but I keep getting 'insufficient storage space' errors when I try downloading it off the play store. I tried side loading it too but received another similar error only after successfully downloading it, then trying to install.. Something seems to be blocking this program from working, regardless..
Anyway, also tried Link2SD to no avail and I was just hoping someone here may be able to help me a bit, kinda new to the scene here.. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Do you mean something like "directory bind" on xda?
What android version do you have? Is it a gt-i9300?

I actually have the Cricket version, so it's the SCH-R530C GS3... I'll go into a program like App2Sd or Link2SD and I keep getting the 'your device is not supported because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated form the internal storage' error.. Not sure about 'directory bind' or what that means, sorry, I'm pretty new to this..

OK this is the i9300 forum, so probably wrong place?
But by version, I meant Android. 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2 etc? Because Directory bind works up to 4.1.2 but not 4.2.1

Hmm... I was able to download the program but it again tells me 'out of space' when I try installing the program. I have over 2gb left on my internal memory.. any ideas why I keep having this problem?
Something you did with the other apps probably. Revert. But you may have to reset

Alright, I have a new dilemma it would seem.. I just used ROM manager to flash the newest cyanogenmod ROM to my phone. The first time I did it, it successfully backed up my system data, then errored out after trying attempting to backup user data. I went back in and made sure to back up everything via Titanium Backup, then retried flashing this time without selecting backup (still chose to wipe cache/dalvik. Everything seemed to be going fine after that, it installed the ROM successfully but after booting up again (with the new cyanogenmod logo and everything), I keep getting 2 errors that keep popping up... 1) Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped. and then 2) Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped.. Anyone know what this could be or how to go about fixing this possibly? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

As said you are in the wrong forum any firmware roms or mods from here may brick your phone as its not an I9300 .

Oh. Thanks, sorry about that. Could you be so kind as to point me to the correct forum here on XDA possibly? My phone is pretty much bricked right now and I need it for work tomorrow. This is the kind of thing I was worried about when I decided to ROOT this thing. I'm freakin out right now.. I've asked this same questing on the Cricket Users forum and noone has helped me just yet..
EDIT: without having to flash anything new, possibly you could tell me how to revert back to what I originally had without too much trouble? I searched these forums to find nothing at all for the Cricket version. I did my homework before flashing the rom and it was definetly okayed for my phone. Again, any help would be a life saver.. Would it be advisable to install the original root package from my sd card again? Could that hurt anything?
Hello friends, my son got hcl me x1 tab-gb2.3.3 in school last year. [Its coby mid 7022—German].This year he is studying in other school.in that tab there is no market. I searched in net and installed google market. While searching I saw that this tab can work in 4.1jb. Again I tried and installed cmw-v5.02.7. But unfortunately I forget to take backup. Again I installed 4.1 jb rom successfully. But now what happens the TOUCH is not working. Again and again I tried. No use. Now the tab works by mouse only. One more thing I tried many times now the screen shows only android symbol and hand moves on it. Unfortunately we last the serial no sticker. Please help me how to retrieve this tablet. One more thing im not familiar in computer. Please give me step by step working solution. Thanks in advance. Here after what to do? How to do? Working rom, cmw, please help me. Now I come to conclusion the tab can run in 2.3.3 gb is enough.

You try to flash the firmware again using cwm and check whether it works.
Do it properly step-by-step.

How did you install Jelly Bean on that device?
Is your device rooted?
Does it have external sd card support?
