I tried to upgrade my ancient Samsung Tab 2 7.0 P-3100 this evening. Haven't used it in years.
Went for a Cyanogen 13 Marshmallow mod, which works, but makes the old tablet as clogged as an 80 year old on a diet of bread. It's taken up all the memory and storage of the tablet. Utterly useless.
I'd like to try Lollipop. I've downloaded CM12.1 version, but can't find a GAPPS version that will load properly.
Can anyone help? I'm looking all over for a version that'll work.
I've stupidly deleted my old 4.2. installations, and can't roll back to an old version.
Cheers,
Nick

I have a p4vzw that is no longer used on Verizon, just at home. I'm finally looking to load some custom roms, and just wondered. Is it safe to flash a p4wifi rom on it. I've noticed that a lot of the custom roms are for the p4 or p4wifi, but not the p4vzw. If it would work, would I need to use a different .pit file?
Thanks.

BUMP...
I have the sch-i905/U (which from what I gather is the same as the verizon version)
I rooted it and it got all messed up. Now I am searching for the stock rom/recovery to bring it back to its original form... seems to be impossible to find... and other roms don't even install, everything seems to fail.
I am now trying to install Ubuntu Touch on to my galaxy tab 10.1 since I am pretty much giving up on returning to stock... but I can't seem to make anything stick.
The tab is running:
-ARMv7 Processor rev 0 (v71)
-Android 4.2.2
-CM 10.1-20131118-NIGHTLY-p4vzw
-Kernel version 3.1.10
Any help would be appreciated.
stock rom

Do you still need the stock rom? i have a couple of them for this tablet, if my memory serves me right i have ICS and ginger. let me know
Have a need for a 7" tablet and just realized that it is only running 4.1.2, but I need APIs from 4.2.2. Has anyone built a 4.2.2 ROM for this device? I've heard that Samsung has an update coming, but who knows when (if at all). I need to start some user testing yesterday, so if there is nothing out there I'll have to take this puppy back and look for another tablet that supports 4.2.2....
Thanks for any help and suggestions!

No,you cant flash custom roms without root.
Rooting is pretty easy.Just search the forums and you will find one ! GL :good:
@Fyttikatta: here you find instruction and download for rooting. Before, flash the last firmware, also with Odin, and make a factory reset in recovery (to repair the camera item).
Yes, I'm familiar with rooting, but every ROM I have installed have not worked with Snapchat's record function as well as the camera requires rebooting like every 2nd time I open the app. It becomes quite frustrating, therefore I'm looking for a ROM with a "working" camera
If you want the hardware to work perfectly then you'll have to stick to either stock or stock based rom.

Well, if Samsung could get their sh|t together we wouldn't have had to root our phones.
The only time I've been able to send full length videos on Snapchat was with blekota's s5 rom ages ago. I'm on the latest archidroid right now and loving it, I mean the camera has crashed a couple of times and still video recording cuts out but I've learnt to live with it until I uninstall Snapchat which seems to only crash the camera for me

Root is irrelevant to custom rom, they all come rooted. If you want kitkat with native hardware support then buy a newer phone.

So basically what you are saying is that if you have a PC with Windows Vista, you should buy a new one to get Windows 7? At least with Samsung's flagship phones, the Galaxy S series, they should support for OS upgrades more than a year. Even the S4 have Lollipop, why shouln't the S3 have KK?
PC is totally different, no comparison could be made as Microsoft doesn't own or control the hardware. S3 is over three years old and doesn't have enough memory to run 4.4 stock, yes it could run it but Samsung decided not to bother writing a slimmer firmware.

That is still no excuse. KitKat was released only a year after the S3, and I have been running different versions of it on my S3 with better performance than with stock. Still they decided to give the S4 an overhaul with Lollipop two years after it's release.
I installed CyanogenMod 10.2.0-hercules into my Samsung Galaxy S II X T989D a few years ago. Now I'm trying to go back to Android IceCreamSandwich or any other suitable android version, because some of my apps don't work properly on CyanogenMod.
How do I switch back, can someone give me a useful link or useful instruction, i'm a newbie.

Hey guys, recently i found my old S2 GT-I9100, its been a few years since i last used it, and would like to upgrade it now and see how it functions.
The S2 is roots and runs Android 4.4.4. kitkat Cyanogenmod 11 from 2014, Clockworkmod recovery v6.0.5.0.
Which New rom is the most stable and battery efficient, a rom good for a daily driver?
anyone?
I'd stick with KitKat
I flashed CM12/CM13 and it honestly isn't worth it. The apps are laggy and even switching to another activity freezes the device for 3-ish seconds. I'd stick with KitKat honestly. It runs perfect on my i9100P (the NFC model)
