Pershoot is working on the 4.2 ROM (cyanogenmod), if it's stable enough in his eyes to share it, he will, he owes us nothing, so don't push him to share it, i myself am also using and changing android 4.2 which is pretty unstable on my tab right now, i have no bluetooth, cam, audio, and mic for now, i do not notice any performance changes.
Samsung will not send out a 4.2 update fo rthe Galaxy tab 10.1

Okay Thanks! :laugh:

Desperate for 4.2 solely for the MULTI-USER setup since this is a general tab that will be used with anyone...
Don't know if I should wait it out or install CyanogenMod 10.1 now...
Hmmm. Worried about losing features and connectivity with my Samsung TV.

[Q] Question about Galaxy Player 4.2 's DAC

Does anyone know for sure if the 4.2 has the Wolfson DAC or does it have the Yamaha DAC like the 5.0's?
I looked, looked and looked but so far there's no confirmation on what DAC the 4.2 has.
Thanks!
Anyone?
Please?

It has the wolfson wm8994. The same as the galaxy player/s wifi 4.0 and the samsung galaxy s phone series.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Can you please site your source of this info?
I am not saying that I don't believe you but after weeks of trying to find info on this I would like to read more about it for my own information.
Thanks again!!

Got it!
Now I can finally decide on getting the 4.0 or 4.2 not having to worry about the DAC on the 4.2 being a Yamaha one.
Thanks so much for looking it up!

No problem. Also I recommend to take the 4.0 as it is cheaper and it have voodoo sound now. (it has more features but it's up to you.)

I agree with you, having the Voodoo mod available for the 4.0 is a huge plus.
So far there's a lot of resource for the 4.0 where as the 4.2, I was not even able to root it, all the 4.0 methods won't work on the 4.2. It's going to take a while for solutions to pop up for the 4.2.
I bought the 4.0 for $149 at Bestbuy today and the 4.2 is on sale for $179 this week so I was thinking I would get them both and then return one of them. Best Buy recently changed their return policy to 30 days (used to be 14 days) which is helpful.
The features I like about the 4.2 are the front speaker, larger batteries and the less of the chrome trim like on the 4.0. Also it has the newer version of the touchwiz which is much nicer than the one on the 4.0.
Do you have any opinion on which stable custom rom will give me the newer version of tourchwiz like on the 4.2? I really can't stand the lock screen on the 4.0.
Thanks again for everything.
If you don't mind battery life you have CM7 and if you want a custom stock rom try klin's klassic. Also the gpu on the 4.0 is better as well as the Web browsing.

I read about the Klassic Rom and also the CM7 but decided to wait because of the issues users reporting with them.
I need a stable mp3 player with good battery life which the 4.0 is out of the box but just wish it had the newer version of Touchwiz like the one on the 4.2.
I wish there is a rom out there with just that and no other tweeks.
I think I will pick up a 4.2 tomorrow and give it another go to see which one I like more.
Would you mind posting after you compare the two? I've been looking for a media player to replace my wife's aging Archos 605 wifi. The Galaxy player series looks nice but I wanted something mod-able which the 4.2 doesn't look like it's it.
I've really been trying to decide between the 5.0 and the 4.0 so I can run a custom rom.

I just picked up a 4.2 today, I think I will keep it and wait till the talented moder's here to come up with something nice for it. The most important thing that I decided today was that I can live with it the way it is out of the box so any enhancements that becomes available later is just gravy.
Compared to the 4.0 it feels a lot more "current", which I know is a highly subjective opinion but the 4.0 with the rounded corners and thick chrome border/bezel it reminds me of the old iphone which I hated.
Also the 4.2 run 2.3.6 vs the 4.0 running 2.3.5. The 4.2 has a newer version of Touchwiz which is much better than the one on the 4.0.
The media player on the 4.2 is also a newer version with some DSP features not found on the 4.0.
The 5.0 runs 2.3.5 so it should be pretty similar to the 4.0 since they came out at the same time.
I personally think 4.2 is the best overall size for my application which is an mp3 player for while I'm driving. I checked out the 5.0 at the store today and there is no way I can use it one-handed which is a deal breaker. Also, I already own a tablet so I really don't need the extra screen size on the 5.0 in a mp3 player.
If you live close by a Best Buy you should just go and play with all of them.
Cheers.

yea, that's kind of the feeling i was getting. the player would be for the wife, and i really don't think in the long run she cares about root, or ICS or etc. she just wants something that works, that she can plug into her car stereo and play mp3's. the 4.2 is newer with a better battery and newer OS so i'll probably go that route.
thanks for the insight.
i got the 4.2 and so far i am loving it. i am upset about the no root solution yet but hopefully soon. but for now i am having 1 problem. acording to samsung, the front facing camera is unable to be used for video. which is true in every app except skype. so theres a problem with that. however when it gets a root, i bet it can be fixed.
I owned a 4.0 and sold it as soon as I caught a glimpse of the 4.2. I like it a lot more than 4.0. The processor and battery r both better. And it doesnt look like a brick .

Well the 4.2 is getting a ics update from Samsung which is a plus

You can say that the processor is better but can you OC the 4.2?
No u can't right now.... Wouldn't it b unstable on the 4.0 being a single core?

[Q] 4.2 Rom with TouchWiz?

Hi all
Was just curious, is the Tab 10.1 capable of running an Android 4.2 rom with TouchWiz and features such as multi-window from the Note 10.1? Is someone busy developing a similar one? I'm running ICS The Beginning rom by Task650.... And it's great.... I'm sure if he developed 4.2 with TW it would be even more awesome....

I wouldn't hold my breath for this. Samsung has to get around to rolling out TouchWiz on JB. This isn't likely, given their track record of rolling out ICS for the 10.1 months after its initial release. The features you are looking for from the Note 10.1 are also unlikely to make their way into the Tab 2 10.1, let alone the Tab version 1 10.1.
This is an excellent little tablet, particularly with the tweaks and custom rome available on this forum, it's just not Samsung's premiere product offering anymore.

cm10.1 doesn't need exynos sources

i was with a friend today at a coffee shop. He had a nexus 4 (stock) and i had my s3 with cm10.1. i have 200 apps installed on my phone at the moment, and i also run swipepad, a LWP and Fps meter. we had a speed test between both phones, out come? my s3 with CM10.1 (stock kernel just updated) raped the nexus 4!
here are the tests we did:
apps:
phone dialer
play store
email camera
messaging
facebook
twitter
chrome
dead trigger
youtube
currents
appy geek
whatsapp
kik
earth
clock
gallery
other tests
Boot time
3G speed
here is the out come:
apps:
phone dialer: Nexus 4
play store: nexus 4
email: s3
camera: s3
messaging:s3
facebook: nexus 4
twitter: s3
chrome: nexus 4
dead trigger: s3
youtube: nexus 4
currents: s3
appy geek: s3
whatsapp: s3
kik: s3
earth: s3
clock: s3
gallery: nexus 4
other tests
Boot time: nexus 4
3G speed: neuxs 4
as you see the results are all over the place. but the s3 won 11 to 8 WITHOUT ANY EXYNOS SOURCES. granted it would be great to have them cos the while the s3 beat the crap out of the nexus 4, the nexus 4 had MUCH smoother animations. the s3 had really jerky ones.
the cm team have done a AMAZING JOB! a truly amazing one without sources! i can't imagine how amazing cm10.1 would be with the sources
**don't go hating on me**
Yeah, imagine sources & documentation...

Don't get me wrong, I think cm is much better than stock Samsung roms.
I use a dual boot setup with cm and stock based rom.
Everything you wrote may be right but still there are some very basic reasons for me not to make a complete switch and leave stock behind:
1. Camera quality is still noticeably better on stock roms
2. Bluetooth is working much better on stock roms
3. Battery life is better on stock roms

yes, true. but again each rom, Sammy or AOSP has their own advantages! i still need to wait to dualboot cm10.1 and NULL_14 i need to update my sig.
I really want to go to a cm rom and stick to it forever but due to the lack of documentation i have to switch back everytime i set it up and get comfy with it.. Like the other day i wanted to take a quick video of my friends birthday party. But as soon as i pulled out my phone the camera crashed.. It's these little things that make me change back to stock..
If samsung did put out the proper documentation for Exynos or Exynos themself then imagine how awesome cm would be.. Till then i just can't make a permanent switch.. But i really do love the asop rom.. Oh well till they do release the sources i will keep using my nexsus 4 or my nexsus 7 tab..

yeah, i found that too. the Camera on ALL cm roms SUCK! but then again, stock is slower...... so since i don't use my cam often i am on cm10.1. if i did, i would be on the best rom for camera quality
Agreed..
The awkward moment when you open the camera app and it says "Camera cannot connect" then the shot is ruined.. Ahh fooze balls.
Ohh well its a small price we pay for being geeks

Will CM 10.1 ever be stable?

I own several tabs that I loan to my employees. I need something fast and stable before I leave stock ICS. Is there a timetable or a completely stable aosp JB rom?
Thanks.
CM10.1 for Galaxy Tab 10.1, as it stands now, cannot ever go stable (unless 4.2 is released for Tegra2 which most likely won't occur since it has been EOL'd).
This is because there is quite a mess with Google Apps (which most users install and use from the usual places) on this platform where things have to be hacked/modded/worked around for things to work. This is because support for non NEON architecture (like Tegra2) has been dropped.
However, CM10 for Galaxy Tab 10.1 can go stable and will do so once the remaining bugs are squashed. This is being worked on. A timetable cannot be given at this current time.
Thanks... What are the bugs? Is it on your website?

[Q] android 4.3 instead of 5.0?

I heard rumors that google is still not working on Android 5.0 'key Lime Pie', and they will also not present it on Google I/O this month.
Apparently they will release a newer version of a Jelly bean ROM, Android 4.3, apperently with codename 'Android 4.3 JWR23B'.
Rumors told me that Google already tested Android 4.3 on a galaxy nexus 7 and nexus 4.
What my question is:
The Samsung galaxy tab10.1 had a timid start with android 4.2, it was laggy and it didn't respond at times, but it turned out to be one of the fastest ROM ever on my galaxy tab10.1 after hard and long work ( i'm flashing pershoot's ROM's (CyanogenMod) now since 11 months), thanks to pershoot.
Will there also be any chance to run a newer android version on this tablet after Android 4.2?
since there were doubts that android 4.2 would ever work on this tablet and turned out to be this smooth, it's giving me alot hope, what do you think?
-what do you think, android 4.3 or 5.0?
-what could be new in android 4.3/5.0?
Let me know!
I heard rumours about the last android version for dual core processor device is 4.2.2 to maintain the quality of later version (4.3++). Can't recall where I read it but if this true then the GT10.1 will stop at Jelly Bean 4.2.2. but, anything is possible..
On my 2nd thougt,if the above is true, this might be the opportunity to the level 17 API's developers and below to strengthen their apps stability, performance and thus give maximum performance to the devices. This might be a good news too.
I think if google upgrades it to android 4.3, most likely there will be bug fixes, like the strange back button It's supposed to bring us to the previous screen until we get to the home screen, but at times, it'll take you to places in apps you've never been, skips screens you've been too, it basically works only half of the time. and if i take a look on my parents's ipad, and if i rotate the screen, the transition is extremely smooth.
If i rotate my galaxy tab or my asus transformer it's kind of... Choppy... If i search the internet, the browser can't follow the speed of your finger on any device i've been on yet, maybe a little bit more browser responsiveness would be great, i'm not saying it isn't smooth yet, but it could be better!
And maybe they will work on more battery life? And if they're already working on it, maybe they should work on a new way to stay connected with people, what i mean is, don't use a stupid samsung app or asus vibe or whatever manufacturers use to connect to a social website, but make it a built-in app?? Like ubuntu does or WP8.
Let your fantasy work..
I don't know why this has been moved to q&a but okay
