My questions:

2. Which version of Gapps will I need for that version of CyanogenMod?
3. If the answers to the previous questions are NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT, is there a way for me to update my Android Version to the most current, and THEN flash CyanogenMod?
I understand that there are resources out there to get this done. I've searched and found most of them. I'm just not entirely clear on which version is most appropriate for my phone, which by most standards here is somewhat pristine in that it's still running MDK, and a bit outdated in that it's running on 4.2.2. Please be gentle with me. I'm just trying to get up to speed and be productive in this forum. Thanks for your help!!

1) You need to download a nightly version of CM, I would advise reading the thread over there to see which one is the most stable before flashing. From what I've heard though CM has been very buggy.
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jflte&type=nightly
2) You should download the latest version of KitKit's GApps
https://goo.im/gapps/ ( gapps-kk-20140606 )
3) Happy flashing.

6.0.4.7 is kitkat comp.
Personally, I run the Google Edition ROM, but Ive run CM11, and it works equally well, and had all the CMish stuff. *Some* issues with mms on cm.
In the CM11 thread is a link for CWM 6.0.5.0. I have successfully flashed CM11 with versions as early as 6.0.4.4. There are no KK compatible (meaning they work with everybody) but the most up to date is recommended. The latest nightlies have been very good. The only issue I currently experience is compass orientation is off by 180°. Maps and navigation work properly. I would recommend using the NC5 or NG6 modem only for best results. Don't flash a modem+nonhlos later than MDK, flashing a later modem only is fine and will cause no problems. Because of the kernel and code changes over the last couple months you will want a newer modem to prevent BT/WiFi/Mobile Data issues. Before you flash make a nandroid and be sure to clean flash since you are coming from a different ROM. As for Gapps they are all written by Google so Gapps are Gapps. I use the Paranoid Android flavor, they have also been updated just a few days ago.
Happy Flashing!!
FernBch, thank you for the excellent summary. That is all very useful info, and I feel way more confident about doing all this now thanks to you all.
OK last question - Is there a way for me to update my OS to 4.4 without losing my MDK status? If so, where can I find a procedure for doing that??
You guys rock. Seriously. Thank you!!

For a stable ROM I would recommend either the Google Play Edition ROM or The Dan's CM ROM.
Also you asked about not losing MDK, you won't lose MDK when flashing those ROMs just be sure to NOT take any OTA updates and you should be fine.
Thank you SkrillaKev! I've hunted a bit to find a thread that explains how to disable OTA but can't seem to find it.
I'm sure it'll pop up.
Hopefully soon - those daily OTA reminders are super annoying!
FernBch, regarding your 180deg compass issue, have you tried third party kernels? I've been fighting this issue for over a year and gave up. I had with stock, stock based, and any other roms I ever tried. Been running GPE rom for some time now, decided to give ktoonsez kernel a try. Compass problem solved! Worth a shot if you haven't tried it yet.

None of the third party kernels work with the latest CM nigbtlies that I know of. When CM made the code and kernel changes they all quit working. As far as I know no one has updated them to work with the latest versions.
^^Good point. Completely forgot that change took place.
Maybe this device will get the support it needs at some point. Maybe not.

Sure you can! ☺
You can run almost any version you want. I'm running kitkat 4.4.4 (the very latest version) on it now.
But you'll have to root it first and perhaps change the bootloader (I did) and install a custom recovery. After all this you can flash almost any ROM you want.
Have fun and Always make a backup!

It is ever so simple to upgrade your tablet to CM10.1, look at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p4wifi (I assume it is a P7510 Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi version) to get the quick and easy method of getting Android 4.2.2 on your tablet from a very stable and reliable Custom ROM, superuser and more built-in by default. If ever it does not work for you, then you can always revert to Stock 4.0.4 from Samsung (see sammobile.com for downloads of stock recovery images. You will need to register for free to be able to download).
Hope this is the quick and easy way for you. If you want to go to KitKat 4.4.4, then the nameless (official nightly build) ROM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716016 is where you want to start out. Please keep in mind that this release may still have some issues for the Tab, as it still is under development.
Your choice. But no need to root beforehand if you want to load a custom ROM, you only need a recovery manager (either CWM or TWRP, all to personal taste) loaded to continue. Mostly, just to make sure, do the bootloader-thing beforehand as the default Samsung bootloader hates both CMW and TWRP recovery mode, and you could end up with the infamous rolling screen problem.
My suggestion is to start with CM10.1 as that is almost a walk in the park, and the steps are both easy to follow and [almost] never fail.
Hope this makes it a bit clearer. Best of luck in your endeavours to get the stock bloatware off your tablet...
THANK YOU for the complete instructions. this is GREAT. I have several final questions before I try it.
My Tab has Kernal# 3.1.10 [email protected] - 116#2 SMPT PREEMPT Tues Aug 7 19:16:14 KST 2012
Is this process still OK and valid?
I want to be sure I fully understand the process:
1: I install a new bootLoader. WHERE is the code-file, and what is the process?
2: Do the Odlin3 method- Windows (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p4wifi)
3: I perform the next step: "Installing CyanogenMod from recovery"
4: where do I find the "required Google Apps" as noted in the above "step three".
5: HOW to find and install 4.2.2, or what ever is the most stable OS for this Tab.
Is this process correct? If no please clarify
Sorry for all the "dumb" basic questions. ;(

The process is defined for the p4wifi (i.e. P7510 Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, the original Samsung WiFi only, not 3G).
If you have a tab2/tab3/note etc, then you need to navigate a bit there to find your machine. But most of the process is the same, just other binaries/ROM.
The bootloader download is mentioned in the Odin3 method (windows only) of this documentation, within step 1: download pershoots recovery package. Steps 2 to 8 there explain exactly how to start up odin, get your tablet into download mode and transfer the bootloader. Step 10 explains that your have to follow the same steps 2 to 8 to get the recovery tool installed on your tablet.
For the p4wifi the CM10.1 stable roms can be found at: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=p4wifi
The applicable google apps can be downloaded from http://goo.im/gapps , where you have to load the one, related to the flavour. In your case the CM10.1, one (3rd line at this moment) of 20130812.
PLEASE NOTE: If your tablet is not the P7510 (Wifi), but, for example the P7500 (3G), then you might need a different bootloader, recovery mod and CM10.1
CM10.1 is 4.2.2, and has root built-in by default. This 4.2.2 also allows you to create more 'users' on the tablet, do all kinds of nice things, and can be finetuned to improve performance (like overclocking). All built-in by default.
Happy Hunting!
Hey, and don't apologise for asking dumb questions, we all started out asking questions, and this forum is really there to get people started on the path of getting the most out of their tablets. Keep on asking, and there is always somebody out there to help you out if you get stuck.
One advise: get the exact model-number of your tablet (build) and register at sammobile to get a plain stock recovery image, so you can always get back to the default setup, and not lose hope when your tablet gets 'bricked'. We have more than enough expensive doorstoppers in the world to need to add one more. Sammobile gives you the recovery image, base on model and country. These stock recovery images are about 450 MB, and can be restored easily with your big friend Odin (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142268).
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for clarifying my questions and process. In my prior life I was a process engineer (semiconductors, and hydrogen fuel cells). Thus I like clear instructions. I also see now some of the challenges the web and forums like this one present, because links go dead, and new process and data are constantly being created. Thus the "process" is always in flux.
I think I can now go and try this.
Thanks

You are welcome. I myself have been a Software Engineer since the early seventies of the 20th century (40+ years of IT), and started out as Computer Operator loading punchcards and papertape into old IBM and UNIVAC computers. The world has changed dramatically since then. Not all good though...
Good luck, and always peruse XDA to get answers to your questions. Sometimes you have to trudge through a lot of mess, but the diamonds are there to find.And ask, ask, ask...
Hey guys, I haven't used my Fascinate in a long time (it's been replaced 2x over, Galaxy Nexus and then HTC DNA), and have been out of this board/scene for many years. But after seeing how well 4.4.x runs on old devices, I figured I'd wipe it clean and try 4.4.x on it! This is not a daily, and it will not be activated for cellular service (wi-fi only), so it's just something to tinker with.
It is currently:
Rooted
Recovery: CWM 5.0.2.7.
ROM: TSMPoolParty-1.6, Android 2.3.7
Baseband: EC09
Build: GRJ90
I would like the least painless path, to go from this ROM / Recovery, to TWRP and an Android 4.4.x ROM, like Dirty Unicorns (I <3 AOKP, seemed the best bet?).
I did a lot of reading on these boards, and most of the instructions seem to revolve around either coming from a completely stock phone, or, going from 4.x to a different 4.x. I figure since I already have CWM and root, there may be a better / easier path for me?
Thanks so much in advance, sorry for the n00b questions, but it seems many of the guides and sticky posts here are out of date (understandably!)
I think the CM 11 Rom is the best 4.4.2 Rom. It worked for me for about 2 months, but i had to optimize it since i downloaded a lot of apps.

Read my whole post linked below. It is accurate. Do not upgrade to NG6, it is a pain and has root but no custom rom capability (yet). On NC5 however, you can flash a ROM using Safestrap (Do not use the safestrap linked in the thread below (3.72), use the safestrap in the general forum (3.75)). DO NOT FLASH TWRP OR CWM. We have a locked bootloader and flashing those is impossible as of yet.
With safestrap, you cannot flash CM, AOSP, or anything that contains a custom kernel. You can flash Hyperdrive, eclipse, and in rare cases Google Edition (The Safestrap version only!!! Not the normal Google edition!)

Thanks npjohnson! very helpful, slow day here in Cisco VOIP land so, I was messing around and got Towelroot, and Root checker. After those two, I installed SuperSU, Thanks Tomsgt! It has all worked so far and SuperSU as apparently disabled Knox…. So Im on my way here. Your post should now take me all the way home. Thanks again! :highfive:
OK. I'm on stock 4.0.4 , ucll6 and I wanna directly root and install LP and mm roms. What's best method? All threads seem to be unmaintained and outdated. Thanks.
Did root via arogon method. Now what recovery do I flash? Figuring kernels are flashed with it.
My name says it all. That said I'm pretty sure that you are going to have to increase your space to be able to install MM with the appropriate gapps package. Same holds true for most LP roms on here.
You might can try this thread for a LP rom with a pico gapps package http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../cyanogenmod-12-unofficial-i777-call-t3211103 (note: I'm not sure it requires resizing partitions since it does not specify.) Should be able to also find a version of TWRP 2.7.1.0 or newer floating around here. I also add that though lots of these threads on here haven't been posted in in a couple of years, the information you find is still uptodate. GL

Should be able to also find a version of TWRP 2.7.1.0 or newer floating around here. I also add that though lots of these threads on here haven't been posted in in a couple of years, the information you find is still uptodate. GL

If I flash that twrp 2.7, wouldn't I need a certain kernel?
Honestly man I can't say for sure. Sorry.
I'm running a s959g and followed the guide in the help forum laid out by Mr.cook (you'd likely find more/better help in the help forum). I will say that from what I gathered the kernel and recovery are linked in the S2. That said when I flashed my 1st recovery I was on stock 2.3.6 Gingerbread and went straight to the TWRP 2.7 version. From there I flashed Rogersb11's 4.4.4 ROM that had the shift kernel (awesome kernel btw check it out) built in. GL
ETA: I'd almost say that as long as you find a i777 version of the TWRP and installed it you'd be good to go.
I've got an old i9100 here with a very old version of wanamlite rom on it. I want to flash the latest CM and firmwares and get rid of all the storage issues that show up when I try to install new apps. Flashing seems to be quite different on this phone than on Nexus devices which I am used to. So some guidance would be really great! I've already read some guides, but I am still confused by how recovery and kernels are unified, as well as I might have to flash pit and ril files.

I'm not familiar with wanamlite rom, so i don't know what android version it has.
but if this rom is jellybean or kitkat, you're good to go and follow the guide made by saber to increase system partition and flash marshmallow or nogut roms.
if your rom is bellow android 4.1.2, then you have to update to the latest stock rom to update the bootloader.
Here is the guide:

Thank you! The Android version of the ROM is 4.1.2, so I guess I should be good.
If you want latest stable ROM, use Optimized CM13.
