Hi, i'm fairly new to the galaxy tab 10.1 forum, but there are a few different ics roms (cm9 nightly, kang etc) .
Which of them you do you suggest??
I have a wifi only btw.
you'll have to try some yourself. different users experience different problems or no problems at all. I'm sure most would suggest AOKP though.
Am currently using cyanogenmod 9 and loving it. Try a few of them out and see what you think, everyone has their own preferences.

I have used all three, and here is my opinion.
Mabalito- Kang: one of the first ICS roms for 10.1 , I am not sure it has been updated recently. Runs well, has a few issues with freeze sometimes.
ICS CM9 by pershoot: there are fairly regular nightlies, I feel this is the best ROM as of now, Temple run works- which shows that touch sensitivity is pretty good. I found this to be the smoothest of the lot. Very less stagger. I flashed 0509 day before, and am happy with it.
AOKP: There are more customization options, but the screen keeps getting stuck. Also, there are times when I try to put an app on the home screen, and all that happens is the screen rotates, twice. I really liked the option to put 5 buttons in the combined task bar though. and you can also assign specific actions for long press.
So where can I find the latest/newest cm9 and also AOKP nightlies? any link to a page wich recently updates..?
I asked this in Q/A but didn't get a response, so ill ask here:
Can you change font types, screen modes on ICS Roms?
Thxs.

I´m using for a long Time the CM9 builds by Coffebeans(here),
They are currently less bugs then in AOKP, and you can update them simple,
WITHOUT wipe and reflashing GAPPS!!!
greets
Would have to agree with Jay. Using AOKP Milestone 5 since released and so far so good. Going to try Build 35 today.

Hello,
I have cognition 1.6 and everything is fine by now, but i want to try something different on my SGS2.
I had cyanogenmod on my hd2 (android) and i liked it a lot cause of it's customizing abilities.
So i'd like to ask for your opinions.
Is cyanogenmod as stable and good as the cognition rom on SGS2?
Should i flash it or stay with cognition?
Thanks all!
It runs well, not stable but stable enough for daily usage. Downsides are that the camera is much poorer than original.
If you like cognition do a nandroid and then try out CM7, if you don't like CM7 on the SGS2 you can always restore back.

As nikzDHD already said:
CM7 is relatively stable, but has too many bugs for daily usage. I had it for some time, but it had random crashes, freezes and changed my ringtone randomly. Create a backup and try it out.
You said that you like customization. If it's that what you like, I recommend you to try MIUI. It's the most customizable Rom I've ever seen.
If you are disappointed by both of them, you can just restore your backup.
I'm using CM7 and i'm on Nightly #95. I guess the guys who answered you haven't tried the recent nightlies. There is a stable version available but the nightlies are awesome. Highly recommended. Try it out.

I've tried them last one I tried was version 96, just taking a break from CM7 while I try out some Sammy based roms, there is NO stable version, only RC, which was based on a much earlier nightly and things have improved since then. I have no issues with CM7 apart from the camera hence switching back to a Samsung based rom as I needed to record some footage and take photos.
That's my only gripe with CM7, there are fm radio issues but I don't use that.
But yeah, as mrnovanova mentioned its good enough for daily use and I for experienced no freezes and such.

After some thinking, considering also your replies i'm staying with cognition.
Exept if you have a better rom to suggest.

You're right. I haven't used the nighties. I would wait for as stable, a people on the forums are reporting problems. It's just not 100% reliable yet.
@angelossssss:
As I said. MIUI is definitely worth trying. If you don't like it, just restore your backup.

ive just come from the miui rom to cyanogenmod 7.1, the muiu rom is awesome, very customizable and feels quite different from normal gingerbread that we are all used to but...
I have the i9100p (orange uk nfc version) and I couldn't get the nfc to work. I tried the fix that Nathan created over at this post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1204&order=desc&page=1
Didn't work, installed the zip (twice as someone said that worked for them) but no joy. So thought id give it a whirl on a different ROM. In came cyanogenmod 7.1
I haven't had any crashes so far (granted i've only been using it for a day). Its got a lot of features (like adw launcher and rom manager). Best of all battery life is way better and I seem to have a 3g signal more of the time.
Unfortunatley ...... nfc is still not working
Where can I get more info on the ICS Roms?
I can't tell the difference between any of them since all the threads are basically named the same.
I'm looking for a plain as possible, newest build ICS.

Well, really you only have a few options.
First of all, you have the KANGs. These are ROMs compiled from CM9's source code. These are basically the same as CM9 nightlies, but they appeared much sooner. The only other option besides KANGs and nightlies is AOKP, which is ICS with some extra modifications. Nightlies and KANGs also have the devices name in the thread (wifi only or 3g).
Since you said you just want a plain and newest possible build, you should choose either the nightlies or the KANGs, whichever is newest. And of course, you should flash the one for your device .

Hi guys...
I've just got my Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7500 3G...
So I'm newbie to Samsung or Tablets but I have Motorola Defy and I'm quite into changing ROMs and stuff...
Can anyone here suggest me some good, stable, great battery life, awesome speed, no bugs ROM?
Are those ICS versions with working camera? As I've seen some does have camera bug.
Is it worht trying to install ICS or should I find some good solid Honeycomb instead? (recommend any?)
Tnx...
If you want a fast stable ROM I would suggest Task 14.
I've been running CM9 ICS from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425631 for the past couple days though and I'm loving it. Camera won't work in any ICS ROM. I don't use the camera though so that doesn't bother me. This ICS ROM is the best ROM I've ever used for connecting to our Cisco VPN concentrator at work.
I've had a couple app freezes and 1 random reboot but other than that I haven't seen any issues.
Hi everyone,
It's been quite a long time since I've been on the galaxy tab 10.1 forum, since I gave my tab to my dad on January, and now I'm getting it back. So I'm kind of outdated about ICS roms. I've seen that there are two new ROM, the AOKP and CM9. I did a little research to see the difference between both, but didn't find major ones.
So I'm here to see your opinion, and feedback about each of the two ROMs. And does the camera work on AOKP or not yet?
Thank you

CM9 has not yet been released; you're talking about the nightly kang builds. If you want to know the differences between the kang CM9 builds and the Roman's Kang builds (AOKP), install one, try it, then install the other. Hint: the AOKP ROM has some controls that are not built in to the CM9 Kangs.
And for gods sake: the camera will not work on any of the ICS ROMs until Samsung releases their ICS with the drivers. Please stop asking this.
I am going to install and try both but it would nice to know the feedback of other users. I don't get it why you get pissed off when asking about the camera, as if i insulted you or blamed u for not having the camera working. I will keep asking if the camera works although i never use it, and if you have a problem with that, ctrl+w or alt+f4, X in the top right, alt+left arrow, damn there's lots of alternative to leave this page.
So does the camera work? Does the camera work? Does the camera work?

The reason he got pissed is because that question is asked over and over again. A simple search of these forums would have answered that question about the camera.
I just installed the AOKP ROM on my GT wifi last night, so far it is pretty good but I have not had it on there that long. I love having the chrome browser (or the ICS version of chrome) so I now have my bookmarks from my desktop.
Some of the popup windows when you install items are not that nice looking or smooth. Not all of my apps are showing up in the market and thats the other thing, my market is still market and not Play. I flashed the gapps 4.0.4 that was linked in the CM9 ICS wifi thread so not sure why it is still showing the old market.
I am getting used to ICS, many things seem very nice and smooth and some things not so nice looking and smooth.
I just recently took the dive and tried the AOKP first, was nice but browsers kept crashing, last night, installed the CM9 kangs and I'm liking it so far.
Will keep you updated.
I started with the AOKP ROM since I really liked its speed and features on my Galaxy Nexus. However, I noticed quickly that it wasn't too much snappier than stock. So yesterday I switched to CM9 and I have noticed that CM9 it's noticeably snappier all around.
I'll be sticking with this.
Thanks all for you replies, I appreciate that a lot.

you asked and he answered.
In my experience the AOKP rom is a lot less stable than cm9, but much more configurable. I had this problem with aokp where the system UI would force close nonstop, which was unbelievably annoying, so I switched to cm9 and havent looked back.
That's odd. In my experience, CM9 was sluggish and FC'ing all the time - I'm on AOKP 32 now and haven't had a single FC I see everybody talking about... And it's much more snappier then stock rom!
I've a korean version though, so I'm not sure if that makes it any different. Only issue I have is a "rolling" screen when I boot up the system + first lock screen. Turn the screen off and back on, not a single problem. (but thats a issue with the korean tab I read)

i just installed AOKP build 33, it's really nice but as said before, the System UI FC is really annoying, and the nav bar keeps on autohiding. however, when I disabled the nav bar glow, the system UI doesn't FC anymore. I'll test AOKP for a while, and then I'll try CM9. I have finals on monday, so I won't be able to switch a lot between roms.
thanks all for your help
just got another SysUI FC, seems that nav bar glow didn't solve the problem.
I have AOKP Build 34 installed and it is snappy and fast. I'll be checking out the CM9 nightly this weekend, so I'll let you know.
Rob
I've tried both AOKP ICS and CM9 ICS on my samsung galaxy tab 10.1. For me, the CM9 feels smoother, but the AOKP gives more ROM control features. For now, I'd like a smooth tablet..
cm9 or aokp
I have the cm9 in my 10.1 wifi now and I like it but when you multi task the launcher crashes frequently, although it does restart quickly.
The screen flickers often as many people have mentioned as well
Other than that its pretty good
The best part is the loss of touchwiz UI. The feel of touch operations is so much more responsive and smooth
Pershoot ICS builds
I have been using Pershoots latest builds on my tab, and things are fine but for the occasional flicker.
AOKP definately has more option for ROM control, and UI customization too. It allows for 5 icons instead of the standard three, and allows for setting custom options for long press of these icons. .
I reverted to CM9 though because even P5 AOKP is quite buggy. Some times you can't place the icons from the app drawer on a screen ( the screen just rotates twice), touch sensitivity seemed to be lesser.
The touch sensitivity on the pershoots build is quite good. I am able to comfortably play Temple Run, which used to be a disaster before.

Dear forum,
I was just wondering as of today what's the best combo of ROM/Kernel/modem etc for the TP?
I use AOKP on my phone, so it'd be cool to stay on that.
What's the verdict, is there a clear most smooth TP android experience?
Thanks so much!

In an easier response, AOKP is all I use anymore for the touchpad. Has the highest benchmarks and smoothest operation. Classicnerd is nice if you need to have screen off audio playback, but otherwise that's the only key selling point IMO. Try em out and see what you like. You can always back up in CWM before you try a new rom in the event you don't like the new additions.
I'm running eyeballer's unofficial nightly and have paired that with GooManager so I can get the nightly differential updates instead of a full ROM. I'm lucky to have one of those TPs that hasnt had wifi or sound bugs with any ROM I have tried... so my personal belief is that anyone's luck or experience with android on the TP has a little to do with the TP itself... its not like 10s of millions got made... because even the ones that there are that many of have just as much trouble.... and were MEANT to be on Android.... not hacked
Forgot to mention that I also switched over to the TWRP recovery and once I recovered from the withdrawals of not uusing buttons and got the hang of the UI, I never looked back

I recommend AOKP, but it doesnt hurt to give each a try to see for yourself... esp. since you're new and might have less backing up to do
I recently flashed AOKP build 36 and so far I like it better than the previously official CM9 nightly I was using. AOKP has been just as stable, but adds the extra customization ROM control provides. Also like that rom control allow you to easily overclock the touchpad without having to install an additional app (the nightly I was using didn't allow you to change the clock speeds without downloading some other app from Google Play).
Is anyone using a kernel not included with their ROM?

HEY GUYS!!
So im super new to XDA forums, but i came here to get some help. So ive never flashed a custom ROM before but ive read on it extensively and have an idea of the terms and what-not. i recently flashed my s2 i9100 to the latest cyanogenmod rom using their app and desktop aid. i really loved the new look and feel on my s2 and i was positive Sammy wouldn't be rolling out any future updates on this hardware.
After the honeymoon period was over i came to notice the grating little issues that made me switch back to official jellybean TW. The cyanogenmod firmware they flash with the app is 10.2, so its jelly bean 4.3. It was a "stable" firmware, so they say. Heres a list of the problems.
1. YouTube became very very pixelated and i did some searches and couldnt find a fix.
2. Games like Temple Run 2 performed much worse than with the stock OS, lots of frame skipping could be seen, which makes a game like TR2 unplayable.
3. There were alot of crashes on the stock cyanogenmod launcher, especially after installing apps.
I really appreciate the work cyanogen does but i posted these issues on their forums and i feel like im an isolated incident being that noone has posted on it.
SO IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME ISSUES AS ME OR WITH ADVICE, PLEASE HELP ME OUT, IT WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATED.
CM for i9100 are only nightlies.
Nightly means that the firmware is every (not anymore) day/night getting updated, why? Because of bugs. Nightlys are oftne minor bug improvments compared to the one before.
There are no stable CM roms, except CM 9 so i've heard, just Nightlies.
Hope this clears it up.
PS. Maybe you can try other roms that have CM base..
I am using cyanogenmod 10.2 nightlies right now in my I9100G, and i don't have any problems, wouldn't go back to stock. Games work much better for me because this ROM is lightweight and uses ram better, i never used the desktop aid so i can't comment on that but maybe you should flash from recovery, there might be bugs with that aid, and which cyanogenmod are you using? If you are trying to use kitkat, there will be lots of bugs its only natural because it's been 2 weeks since kitkat went out, try 4.3.

Oh thanks for the repl. I didnt know that the firmwares were nightlies when using the official app. i thought the app description was that it flashes the latest stable cyanogen build. Just a question, being that ive flashed it twice to try and mitigate the issues to no avail, (ive wiped dalvik and cache and formatted) whats my next step? i really liked it but those issues are pretty disappointing/

I would try it the "old" way but im a little afraid. do you think that the fact that you are using the G variant would make a difference?
the only way to make youtube better was to loas previous version. and the games didnt necessarily have a constant lag, it seems more like a frame sync or clipping issue than a frame chugging/ lagging issue. The cyanogen build i was using was 10.2. so it was 4.3.1. thanks for your reply.

I'm not going to make any recommendations because that's against XDA rules, but it stands to reason that the 10.2 builds won't be as 'polished' as the 10.1 builds purely because they haven't been under development for as long. If you don't like the bugs in 10.2, try something 'older'..........

im wondering if i should just wait for an official kitkat build.
but either way ill try your suggestions. looking forward to positive results.
just a heads up though i found another poster on a cyanogen forum that describes the same youtube problem. so maybe its not just me after all
There will be issues with the 10.2 builds for some time to come.....no disrespect to the developers, they've done /are doing a fantastic job to help keep the S2 alive. All custom ROMs go through this process and as they progress, the bugs become less and less.........
And as far as official KitKat.......not going to happen.....Samsung ended official support for the S2 with Jellybean....

Well overall the ROM is fantastic. I love the look and feel and added functionality. What I meant about waiting for official kitkat is an offcial rom from cyanogen based on kitkat. Im sure that support for s2 will continue so long as the hardware is capable.
