Hello, i live in Europe but i like Android phones with only capacitive button so i look around ebay US and there are so many different model that it's hard to understand... How can i make sure that a model is compatible with all roms offered in dev section?
None of the i9100 series has only capacitive buttons so none of the roms here would work.
Dont know which is your carrier, but considering most international uses GSM, the T989 and i777 may possibly work on your carrier. Just check out the sections for those phones on xda to see what roms are offered.
If none of all the homebuttonless i9100 can take custom roms, i might reconsider... Do they have ICS at least?

Probably, as my message before, just check those sections on xda.

I know there are all kinds of things people who are capable of doing things with a custom ROM now, but at the end of the day for maximum flexibility can a Rooted i777 ever equal a Stock or even a Rooted i9100 ?
Being that the i9100 is the original and the i777 is the variant is the reason I ask. BTW - I am aware of the subtle hardware differences ..radio,nfc etc.

Maybe do some research and figure out for yourself?
After all, we can run I9100 ROMs with very few modifications.
Not sure of the point of this, this is like saying is a rooted inspire as good as a stock or rooted desire hd. They are essentially the same phone with minor differences.
I have been searching around, but the main reason I ask boils down to whether with the custom roms you are able to completely free yourself from all of the garbage AT&T has done to the phone. As opposed to a i9100 that was never intended for just one carrier.
Hi there.
I'm fairly experienced with flashing my phones over the last couple of years, but I'm new to the Galaxy tab 10.1.
I've read many development threads and think I have a basic understanding of the Roms and keywords I should be looking for, but just want to confirm a few things.
I have the Canadian Rogers "4g" Galaxy tab 10.1, GT-P7500R. It has the buttons across the top of the tab if you're holding it in Landscape mode (like most U.S wifi models, and different than most US 3G versions, I believe).
So I guess I just want to make sure that:
-Roms that mentione "3G" should work fine
-Obviously Roms that mention "7500" should work fine.
-What about roms that simply reference Verizon, or "VZW"?
-My understanding is also that "P4" would also be relevant? (where does the P4 come from... anywhere in particular?).
-Wifi Roms will work fine, but obviously with no cellular data?
If anyone can confirm/clarify some of this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I have no experience with the P7500R but actually I would be supprised if flashing the P4 for 3G would work. Looking here:
androidromupdate.com/2012/03/31/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-4g-rogers-canada-gt-p7500r-firmware-update-and-stock-rom (sorry, I am not allowed to post http links)
it specificaly warns that the stockrom for this version is not compatible with the 3G variants.

Hmm... interesting. Thanks for the link. They say not to use it on other models because of carrier specific bloatware and default settings.... none of which should particularly hurt your device though, I'd think.
Some of the more popular Roms in the dev sections specifically have people mentioning if the Rogers Tab is working well... such as [ROM][GT-P7500] CM9 KANG (ICS Preview) (03/25/2012)
I'm just curious going forward with potential new roms that surface, which keywords to look for.

I indeed read a confirm that 4G is working with the CM9 ICS.
Well then:
P4=P7500=3G and appearantly = 4G
separate builds are made for wifi and Verizon LTE so these do not give you full functionality on your device. I believe VRZ is using CDMA instead of GSM protocol and wifi is not using any protocol ;-)
you can find some different kinds of builds here:
forum.aokp.co/page/releases/_/build-30-r12 (build31 isn't ready for the 10.1...)
I'm fairly sure someone has asked this question, but I couldn't find anything in search anywhere.
Is this possible? A lot of people are getting excited about the North American version of the phone, but there is little information about using any variation of the S3 firmwares on any S3.
This would really suck because all the development is happening on the I9300, so we don't get much development attention or flavours of ROMS.
No. And give it a few days/weeks, we'll have a ****-ton of development. 75% of the people don't even have their phones yet.
Again, NO. And if the S3 is like the Note, trying to flash an international ROM on a US phone will turn your pretty new phone into a paperweight (aka hard brick).
Thanks for clearing that up. I did forget about the fact that NA providors will only be carrying the NA variant which is probably a larger audience therefore more exposure to development.
:victory:
no... do NOT flash an I9300 rom until a developer releases a post, and dont worry. most developers dont have their phones yet, and within a couple of weeks, there will be lots of ports for roms like Omega, AOKP, CM9 ParanoidAndroid, etc
I'm not sure if this is the right thread. I keep seeing "I9100", but I'm considering jumping to the Galaxy S2, and its model number is SCH-R760.
Is it the same phone, or different? If it's different, is it so different that none of the custom ROMs and such will work for it, or will some work?

Totally Different Hardware, so, no.
My Galaxy tab 2 10.1/SGH-I497 from AT&T seems to have no support for anything other than rooting. Am I missing something? I'm under the impression that only roms specifically designated for the I497 should used but it's hard to believe that there's no interest in porting over a couple of the more popular roms. Is my assumption correct, or will a rom for a non-AT&T version work and I just didn't get the memo?

I'm not sure.. but if you can find a forum for the tab 2 10.1..then ask around.. I would guess that the roms would flash fine, but you will need to find out you're APN's so you will have data after flashing a rom for another carrier..
