Hello. I have a Galaxy 10.1, GT-P7510, rooted, currently running Android 4.0.4, Kernel 3.1.10, Build number Task650's ICS.
I'm frustrated because it does not have an option to connect to PC using mass storage. It only has MTP and PTP. My computer is Ubuntu 12.04, which has really bad support for MTP and PTP.
I would like to upgrade to Jelly Bean, and I think I might like to use the Cyanogenmod 10. I've looked on the forum and from what I can see the CM10 and other Jelly Bean Roms have a USB mas storage option. Also, there is suggestion that it would be faster and better than what I have now.
However, recently when upgrading my phone (Galaxy s2), I discovered that if one doesn't have the exact right kernel and ROM, it can cause all sorts of problems.
So I want to do this slowly and get it right. What makes me nervous about the Cyanogenmod 10 ROMs available on Droid Basement, the word "experimental" is written everywhere. I don't want to experiment with anything, I'm looking for stability.
Also, there seem to be different options for P4WIFI, P4VZW, P4TMO, P4, and P3, but I don't know what those mean and how they apply to my tablet.
So, bottom line: what is the right ROM and kernel for me? And can I just go ahead and flash them without any additional configurations or installations?
Thanks for any advice.

This is a pretty easy question finally.. so just download the recovery.tar and bootloader 4_0_4 from droidbasement and flash it on odin via the PDA section, then download the EXPERIMENTAL build and flash it, once you flashed this built ( before flash wipe date/cashe/dalvik) go to your settings > sorth updates > new version, click on the upper right corner refresh, and then several builds will show up what look like: ' CM-10-20121216-nightly' , download the newest date by pressing on the download button right, wait till it's downloaded, let it update your tab, this wil take some time, and your tablet will be faster than ever before, that's one of the stablest builds i ever used! Started from the experimental builds...

Ohh.. and uhm...forgot to mention... the GT-P7510 is the p4wifi

Or i'll make it more simple for you. But you still have to flash the bootloader and recovery from droidbasement, but don't download the experimental ROM, instead of that, go to http://get.cm/?device=p4wifi and install the latest CM10, so you do not have to update to a very stable version anymore, everything works very smooth, you can oc to 1400 mhz, and i'm using cm10 rom's now since they came out with cm10, i never ran into big issues and everything is well explained in the development section

Thank you for responding.
I was a bit confused at first about how to get the bootloader on my Tab, but I worked it out.
Now I've got the latest Cyanogenmod, Android 4.1.2, and it's nice, but...
Unfortunately it seems there is still not a USB mass storage option. At least not that I can see.
Is there a way I can get a USB mass storage option on my Galaxy Tab 10.1?
How did you find cm 10 coming from ics?

Mmh i think no ROM has mass storage enabled for the galaxy tab, i know on several devices CM10 has mass storage build-in:
su (press enter)
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage (press enter)
reboot (press enter)
I don't think it'll work for the Gtab 10.1 but you can try it, if it doesn't work and connect to your pc go back to settings > mass storage > 3 dots upper right corner > connect to PC
Maybe you can ask pershoot to add this if this code doesn't work

Unfortunately, it seems I spoke too soon about Cyanogenmod 10 being nice. It seemed to be running fine yesterday, but today I am having nothing but problems.
None of the Google apps work (I installed the latest Gapps zip... I think). I keep getting an error saying that "Exchange server has stopped". And my Cyanogen ROM manager app won't work. It's kind of a mess.
Damn... this is exactly what I wanted to avoid - going round and round in circles trying to get a stable version of Jelly Bean on my tablet.
Where can I get a stable, working, reliable ROM, kernel, and Google Apps?

Thank you for the commands and suggestions, but as mentioned in my other post, this ROM doesn't seem to be working for me as smoothly as I first thought.
First I'll see if I can get a stable ROM, kernel, and Google Apps, and then I will try your commands.
If you have a suggestion on where I can get stable versions, please let me know.

You can oc your device to 1.4 mhz if it doesn't work smooth enough for you, another very smooth ROM I can suggest is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932474
Or still www.get.cm

Thanks, but I think you and I have different definitions of "smooth". I'm not particularly bothered about overclocking and speed. I just want apps that open and run, and no error messages.
However, on the upside, I think I may have fixed it. I think the problem was that I accidentally downloaded the wrong gapps.zip for my ROM.
Anyway, I'm currently restoring some apps via Titanium Backup. When that is complete, I'll try the previously suggested USB mass storage fix.

Nope. Could find only old gapps
terribly sorry about the brain fart. whole problem arose because i didnt flash the correct gapps . got the gapps from xda and now its working well. but i am getting a pop up saying that google play services have not been installed on your computer etc...
will this problem go away if i just install the google play services apk?
edit : after flashing the proper gapps, an update from the play store solved everything. Now running smoothly.
since i updated to cm12,go power master has not been able to turn data off when the screen turns off. this was working flawlessly in kitkat. even the go power master widget is not working. thought there might be a problem with root,so flashed supersu 2.40 from recovery. but still it isnt working. any idea what the problem might be?

Has the app been updated to support LP? At times in the past, access for 3rd party apps to stuff like data connection, which requires root, sometimes changes functionality with version upgrades. Don't know if that's the case in this circumstance, but it's something to look into.
Performance drop
Flashed this rom with fulll wipe. Works well, but sometimes performance *drops* happens. It becomes VERY slow, like CPU speed drops down to 128mhz. I had the same problem on cm 11.
Who knows how to fix it?
Looking great and functions great but I am getting terrible battery life due to "miscellaneous" or "Cellular Standby" according to battery stats.
E970
1/15/2015 nightly (problem persists from previous nightly)
Same problem on stock and Solid_GEEB Kernel

Lucky to get 12 hours of battery under normal use. Any suggestions?

Any ideas how to fix my issue with the BT mac address being changed to "00:00:00:00:5A:AD"? I had the wrong address on CM11 also but it was a different incorrect address and I was able to fix it.

Video call issue
Video call isn't working in both skype and viber. Skype app is crashing as soon as I turn video on. Viber just doesn't turn on the video transmission. Can please somebody report about this issue to CyanogenMod team. I use video calling really often, so this is kind of issue keeps me away from using official CM12 builds. CM11 builds had this issue too and it hasn't got fixed till now.

CM Updates
Settings - About phone - CyanogenMod updates indicates no new updates found despite new updates posted at http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=e970. I switched from unofficial CM12 to official CM12 several updates ago. I'm using the gapps posted here https://s.basketbuild.com/gapps. Is there a setting I need to revise to begin seeing the CM updates on my phone. It's no big deal since I can go to the CM device list and download directly.

Sorry for late answer. I was too busy to post logcats earlier. I hope issues will get fixed.
I installed CM12.0 (1/27 build) but any 5.0 gapps I try fails to flash on the official TWRP 2.8.3.0 for the e970. I've tried bpear, PA, and one other. I can get the ROM to boot, then it gives FC's for every Google App, and the apps are all named by their com. ... name, and say "app not installed" when clicked. I have loaded the zip files over wifi, through adb push, via usb, and through straight download to the device. I've also run them from the external SD and the internal storage.
Is there a different recovery I should be using with this? Will a Nexus 4 recovery work on the e970?

I'm using TWRP 2.8.4.0 recovery. I initially installed the CM12 unofficial rom along with this gapps:
https://s.basketbuild.com/gapps
and had no problem. I switched to official CM12 when announced by Shelnutt2 and have made no changes to gapps. Perhaps give that gapps a try.
Audio calls problem
Hi,
I recently updated my OS from LG's Official 4.1.2 to CM12. Everything seems to be working fine but for making/receiving calls. I am not able to hear or speak over the microphone and speaker outlet unless or until I use a headphones in which case both work properly. Can anyone please help?
Details on my upgrade:
I had backed up my data and downloaded the CM12 zip files with Gapps and SuperUser into my SD card. Once they were ready, I restarted my mobile in Recovery mode and wiped the user data and installed CM12.zip followed by Gapps followed by SuperUser. Then rebooted my mobile and check everything for the working condition. It was working perfectly except for the fact that when I receive phone calls or when I make a phone call once I attend the call, I would not be able to speak to the person or hear the person in normal mode nor in speaker mode. The only way it works is if I use my headphones.
I had installed CM12 01/26/2015 version. And have tried later versions until 01/30 but I do not find that to be fixing. It would be of great help if anyone could help me.
Thanks,
Arun

Make a clean flash (in TWRP wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache and after install cm12 and gapps) and install 84/27 hybrid modem during same recovery session, after reboot to system. Modem issues with e970 are really whimsical. I hope this will help.

So...I'm stuck I can't seem to figure out how I can flash CM 12 as I get the attached image stating "Installation Aborted"
For the record.
- Used Sunshine to get s-off
- Rooted through King-root
- Installed ROM Manager. Updated latest CWM v. 6.0.4.5 (latest ROM Manager is allowing me to update).
- Flashed into recovery, factory reset, wiped cache, and dalvik cache (followed instructions: Google Search "android 5.1 Lollipop htc dna" click the link from trueandroid)
- Now stuck at the attached image.
Anyone have any insight into what I'm doing wrong? Links to how-to's would be greatly appreciated if there is a solution to this problem out there already. Appreciate your comments and feedback!
Thanks would love to start using CM 12 on the DNA and give this phone some more life!

Hey thanks for the links above I was able to get the ROM flashed. Super happy with CM 12.1. I am however draining my battery at lightening speed. It looks like from full to empty is done in about 2 hrs.
Any direction on how to improve this?
- I've turned off Google Play location services.
Also I do love running the latest ROM's out there, but if this is going to persist - do you know a ROM that creates the longest battery life for the DNA and still keeps the best performance?
Thanks again!

Hey Baku - so I tried to get TricksterMod then I realized I lost Root Access. I tried Weak Sauce and Kingroot, but neither are working. It looks like i have S-Off since I am able to boot to CWM as stated above, but that's not how I flashed CM12 - I used TWRP as you suggested.
I figure once I get root again I will be able to use TWRP manager and TricksterMod as you suggest. Any guidance on how I can get my root access again?

Both CM12 and EOS seem to have issues with Google Hangouts and Skype. Have you come across this issue? If so, how have you fixed it?
Out of curiosity what ROM/kernel do you use?

I use CM12.1 on the latest nightly, with crpalmer 6.0.1 kernel updated by @jamiethemorris. I haven't used either of those apps, but I'll see if I have any issues once my internet decides to work right.
So i wanted too do root again cause back than i had too turn it off. im running the dirty unicorns kernal. But when i flash supersu busy box zip that i found on the net. when its booted and when i try too open a root app or even supersu it freezes and says its not responding than crashs......
So im not sure if i need too reinstall the kernel or what too get root working again???
So i went too the dirty unicorns link on here and the link doeisnt work anymore.... So now what???
I had too disable supersu cause it was making the phone slow down and freeze and this is my main phone....
Why did stuff come too a halt on this phone anyways?? its still fast and has specs of even some today phones..
edit while searching on google i found a working link incase anyone would like too know that still uses this phone. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120737434

What ROM do you have on the phone? if it's the DU then I've only seen the SU lag when I first flash and open the settings, other than that it works OK, if you are planing to flash the ROM again then the link you provided is not the latest and has the bug that the camera doesn't work, I know because I flashed it before noticing that it wasn't the latest version and the camera doesn't work (logcat reads something like the "there is no such device" for the camera) if you have the latest ROM installed then don't flash this one and try and re-install Superuser from the Market. I've been looking everywhere and it seems that the Dirty Unicorns ROMS for this phone are gone except the one you found. If you already flashed the ROM you linked and it still doesn't "work" then you need to do a clean install by wiping your System and Data Partitions before flashing the ROM and try again.

If you have Dirty Unicorns 10.6 with the working camera, can you share a nandriod backup of the system partition? I would like to try and flash it to my phone and see if I can fix the root issue and let you know if it worked and at the same time get my phone back on the latest version.

If you have Dirty Unicorns 10.6 with the working camera, can you share a nandriod backup of the system partition? I would like to try and flash it to my phone and see if I can fix the root issue and let you know if it worked and at the same time get my phone back on the latest version.

I think i did that too unlock the boot loader when i first got the phone. and going in the recovery does say its unlocked. So im not sure if its wise too try it again but idk.
I just checked the version it says i have official 10.1 with the android version being 6.0.1 so its not the newest... But i see if i can get a backup of it if you still want that? Have too free up some space first. That's the ony thing i hate about this phone is the space it has... lol Still a great performing phone and good looking tho.

My camera just doesn't work with 10.1. Acording to the logcat it has an error stating "no such device"
Hmm yea my camera always worked...
Also i just got root working. I tried kingroot and it made it up too 70 something and than said root failed than everything got laggy and frozen after that.. So i hard shut down and booted it up and rooted apps requests for root which is king root and they work So it seems like root is back working even tho it said failed lol...
But man i wish there was more updates like too 7.0 or 8... This phone can easy support it... The hardware is still good and even up with some of the new phones today that can get newer firmware's... Heck the ones i see that can do 7 ony has 1gb of ram.... Maybe people just dont like it being limited too 16gb.. Which i do understand that.
Also how much space do you have left on your phone? On mine i have 10.61gb used out of 11.44gbs..... apps ony take 2.38gbs images 59mbs and other is 117mbs. were did the other go?
I have always had this issue.

Regarding Space, usually the rest is taken up by the system files.

I asked the OP of the ROM and he mentioned to me that the site took down the files for the DNA and that he didn't keep any copies. So it will be quite hard unless someone that installed the latest version kept a copy somewhere and shares it. I had the latest copy a few months ago, if I knew the were going to take it down I wold have made a copy on my Mega folder, but I didn't :crying:
Build in the works. Going to release the BETA as soon as I can do testing on my own device before release.
IMO this is a necessity as there are literally no good roms for this right now. I tried the port of the Nexus stock CR rom and it was not great. Playstore was unusable due to an issue were the app thinks the system is out of storage space, even though it is almost empty. Chrome crashes instantly, the search on the page home screen flickers up/down without control.
I am a far bigger fan of LineageOS thus why I am working on this build.
More to come.

As a follow up to my original post I wanted to mention that for anyone who wants a new ROM on their SM-T290 until this is finished development, use the Nexus Rom by Magendanz. I was able to do a fresh stock firmware install and retry the rom and my opinion has changed. I have noticed that these Tab A 8.0 tablets have been used a lot for like Uber/Door Dash and other POS terminals. I am pretty sure a lot of them have modified or customized firmware for these reasons and when I mine second hand it was from a pizza store. I think that messed up the upgrade.
Overall Magendanz did a great job, when you install it properly. I have zero issues with functionality now, TWRP recovery set up, as well as Magisk installed and everything is running extremely well.
As far as instruction on how to install. Take a look at some of the comments further down on the Nexus thread. That is what I did this time around and it worked perfectly. Last thing I did was copy Magisk.Apk to my SD, change extension from .APK to .ZIP, then boot into TWRP and install that ZIP.
Going to update progression on a monthly basis as far as the LineageOS 18.0 build

Do you have a github with your source code and manifest? I just got this tablet (used) yesterday and I would like to see if I can help. I have built LineageOS roms for a number of older Samsung Tab A devices, but will have to do some research on the "new to me" T290. Thanks.
Just got this tablet, how's the beta coming along? And what can I do to help?
Thank you my guy I had lost all hope for custom roms on this tablet. It's quite relieving to know that I'm not alone.
Also, has anyone experienced severe lag on one ui 3 while doing basic tasks? The thing literally gets 5 fps while watching youtube and surfing the web but it plays 3d games at 20 fps on low settings. wtf

Hey Guys,
I didnt end up building a custom rom, because I was able to get the GSI version of Lineage 19 working fairly easily. Just use the correct image and flash the same as the Nexus post. Android 12 with Lineage 19 so i felt it wasnt worth it as everything works. I had trouble at first with a boot loop but that was because I had installed Magisk BEFORE the GSI rom and not AFTER. So dont make my mistake.
As per the Nexus Post;
Unlock Bootloader
flash TWRP
Wipe data
Install Andy Yan's Lineage OS 19 GSI
Andy Yan's personal builds // GSI - Browse /lineage-19.x at SourceForge.net
sourceforge.net
Install Magisk
Reboot
Cheers!

Good advice But which of Andy's GSIs did you use exactly ?
Thanks so much dude
The GSI is a .img.xz will it work or does it need to be .gsi

You download the .img.xz file and unzip it.
Inside this will be the .img file
This is what you need to flash (.img)

Sorry
Use this one
lineage-19.0-20220211-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bgS.img.xz
It has Gapps built in as well as super user through SSH, dont install Magisk as it will error that there is already SU tool installed.
@SniperFox22 , did you make a github for the code or didn't even start since you are happy with GSI?

My OS didn't have an option to unzip it at first glance. I haven't been able to install gapps so I'm gonna try that gsi. Also, am I supposed to wipe internal storage before flashing or not?
I got it working but games just crash which is worse than before
Came across this while trying to root my sm-t290. Just want to add that Andy Yan has upgraded to a 19.1 version that appears to work just fine. Flashed to system partition using twrp after I had flashed the Nexus rom. Wifi works, sound works, sd card, bluetooth keyboard works just fine.

Link to it???
I like the link above because it has all the versions but lineage-19.1-20220320-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgS.img.xz is the one that I used. The page has the naming convention. Ill mention that even though it says that it's supposed to be rooted, I couldn't get it to work right. The nexus rom had an option in the 'phh treble' menu to activate root and this lineage image should also but the option wasn't there. It kept saying the supersu binary was busy but that was after I flashed a supersu.zip(it may have worked before then i don't know). I played with it a little bit but ended up just flashing back to the Nexus rom.
Hey guys!
Installed "lineage-19.1-20220320-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgS.img"
Everything starts up, but something is weird with my installation and my storage, it freezes when i go into storage and i cant download anything without apps start to crash.
Im not sure if i flashed it correctly, i did a wipe in TWRP before installation.
Really hope i can get this to work since it waaaaay faster then the bloat samsung ships
Edit:
Tried flashing another rom (nexus) and had the same issue!
trying to reflash and wipe everything except internal storage.
Where should i flash image? i get: "select partition to flash image", never seen that before (might be because you flash img and not zip)
