I've run cm9 and black ice since rooting my tab2. Worth it to me. Plus it is a breeze to root. Depends on your tastes really.

Samsungs are crazy easy to root. Gotta love odin. Thinking I may need som AOKP?

yes
cuz 3100 very slow

yes
Worth it to uninstall or freeze any unwanted applications.

Yes root. Yes use codeworkx cwm and cm9 and metallice kernel for cm9. Watch it have no lag at all. Well worth it. Also aokp is great but no hardware acceleration. The kernel I mentioned enables it for cm9. Beautiful

What ROM are you on?

Out of curiosity, what's everyone running at the moment? CleanROM? CM9? Stock 4.0.3/4.0.4 etc?

Currently running CM9 with MetalliKernel.. I'm digging it,even though I cant move apps to my external sd car (which is like that on all roms including stock). Very stable, fast, no lag or issues.
Update: Using GL to sd to move my games with massive date to my external sd card

I am currently running CM9 Nightly on my tab, and was so impressed that i decided to install it on my 4 year olds tablet that we have bought him for his Christmas this year.

Give me a good reason not to install Cyanogenmod on my Tab 2

After the recent update I faced a lot of problems with the Tab 2 (GT-P3113). Apps crashing... Wifi dropping...
Yesterday CM officially released the RC2 which supports Tab 2... So, shall I install it? Anyone use CM on Tab 2? How is it?

I did it! Yipee! Except for 2 problems, everything else is fine... Kaspersky Tablet is not getting installed (Say its not compatible with the device (worked with the stock ROM)) and bluetooth is not working Can live without them for now!

Which ROM is the best for note 10.1 with jellybean?

Hey so after flashing the ROM with cmw10 nighties but I am starting to miss the peel app along with the s-pen apps and camera. So which rom is preferred or should I bring back to its original state if I can.

Redemption Rom
Did you get the the redemption version 3.2 or do I have to download another ?
Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk 2
i use an older version of redemption rom, awesome stuff
I have not used a custom rom on my note yet and would recommend stock rom but if you want custom rom cm is the best but wait for the stable mode to be out currently the nightly is out which has issues as it is under developement
But with CM you will lose spen and multiwindow support

I've been using Something ROM, which is a TouchWiz based ROM with some light theming . It is JB based and is EXTREMELY stable on the N8013.
Well i updated the nighties and now the camera is working but cant use the peel app or the spen apps either way it sucks because jellybean is now rolling to US Note 10.1 GT8013, now i am stuck because i cant find the firmware on samobile either way if this tablet didnt have a ir this would of been great.
jcesar085 check again, it is out there. Got mine last night. Both SamMobile and sumsung-updates.com have it.
I don't care about s-apps, but the multi-window is really usefull :/
AOSP + Multi-Window would be great
Maybe someday someone will do a "de-touchwitz" rom (erasing all non-necessary for still having m-window) ?

What's a good rom for the galaxy tab 2 10.1 and why?

I am currently running cyanogen mod 10.1 nightly and so far it's a great rom and I do like it a lot. But I would like to try some new roms and see how they are. So tell me what are your favorite roms and why?

Depends on what you want.
I'd suggest but it's truly your decision in the end, sungsonic hd if you want stock but quite a bit customized. Plus adi the dev of that rom does an awesome job of updating his rom. His runs on JB 4.1.2
Also if you want custom ICS I'd suggest Romswell for that

Does that work with 10.1 inch galaxy tabs? Or just 7? Because i have a 10.1 inch
CM 10.1 with no doubt. While other roms have many features, CM 10.1 are update almost everyday, its very small and very fast. and its android 4.2.2.

I'm almost certain only the 7 inch version but you'd have to check with the dev. I'm still almost sure it's only for the 7 though

Welcome to my world. It is a shame because I am betting a vanilla AOSP rom would run great on this tablet compared to the TouchWiz rom which is fine until I use it after using my Galaxy Note 2 and then it feels a bit sluggish.
I assume that the problem is the modem. I am not sure if flashing a ROM for one of the wifi models will boot. I am scared to try.

Just wondering if there is any change. Or maybe someone that is working on a rom for this. Thanks
You are lucky. At least you have JB. I have the ATT I497 and it still has ICS. Been trying to find out if I could at least install your ROM on my tablet but no one ever answers. Development is dead for these 2 versions.
