Hi all, So i have a galaxy tab 2 7" gt-p3113 with root access. I need to know how to, if possible, downgrade from the stock ics 4.03 that it was shipped with to Honeycomb. There just arent enough apps availiable for ICS and a lot of them are so buggy I'd rather have honeycomb. Any ideas? If I am not mistaken the process is pertinent to each device and might not even be possible since the gt-p3113 and gt-p3110 are shipped with ics... Hopefully it can be done

nothing to downgrade. ics is stock lowest on these. And I don't see much desire to develop custom roms for an older android system. Best bet just wait it out, ics is new, just like hc and gb were. When they came out apps had glitches too.
I haven't found any apps that give me issues on ICS yet. Have you bothered reporting the apps you're having issues with to let the developer(s) know there are problems? Also, the only way to get Honeycomb would be to build it from AOSP, which likely isn't going to happen.
What apps are you having issues with? I haven't seen any apps having issues with ics.

Yeah ok... i was just hoping. Yes I have been reporting all the issues. Alot of them its mostly it loads to the title screen then crashes and closes. I cant tell you specifically which ones, its happened with a lot of apps, mostly games tho. I just really want to be able to play nova 3 and modern combat 3 and Im having trouble getting an apk and the sd data files...

I've gotten those two games to run and download SD data by modifying my build.prop to match the Galaxy Nexus.. You don't want to run them on your tablet anyway, it was quite laggy when I tried. Other GL games work fine.. like order and chaos, asphalt 6, etc.
ya same nova3 was fine mc3 was super laggy and choppy.... sad day.
would overclocking it help? and if so, what is it safe to overclock it to?

Mc3 maybe didn't run right because it needs some mods. It didn't run right on my phone until they released it officially for it.
not enough ram for ics os
galaxy 2 doesn't have enough ram to run ics and apps too, at least not efficiently. I have sg2 phone and now the tab and I think ICS uses too many resources to allow apps to run effectively too. I see alot of force closes and very laggy performance . I upgraded phone to iCS and hated it. Odined back to gingerbread. May take the tab back because of ics. (Tab has same memory structure as sg2 phone ). I do use GO launcher which I'm sure eats some resources ,so I'll try taking that off and see if there is a vast improvement, but I suspect there won't be .
I've actually found ICS to be less buggy then HC and GB. Maybe your fc issues are caused by something else? Gameloft's non-support for the gtab2 is a known issue, but the other problems could be fixed by fixing permissions in CWM.

Every now and then my homescreens gets very sluggish and laggy, to make them turn I really need to be explicit and slow in gesturing. It seems to start at random, haven't found anything that appears to set it off.
Reebooting solves the problem, until next time of course. Getting quite annoyed with it at this point.
I have tried disabling live wallpaper and taking a look at what apparently are running, but it doesn't seems to be the problem.
It's a nexus s i9023 running 2.3.6 stock. Not rooted.
Hope there's a reply out there, thank you.

what possibly happened was you may have bunch of apps that autorun themselves when certain events occur such as when you regain network signal, receive a phone call, turn on screen, etc... over time these apps take up cpu which cause the lags you're experiencing. i would suggest rooting your phone and install Rom Toolbox or buy Autostarts app to stop some of these apps from autorunning.. The Nexus S is the easiest and most painless device to root.

I'm running almost the same apps as on my old Wildfire, and enver encountered the problem with it.
I'd prefer not to root my phone at this point. Bought just under a month ago, with the idea of running stock to see how the "pure android" experience was
I also find it hard to imagine that there isn't another way around the problem.
It just doesn't make sense to me that it takes so little to bog down the phone and that the solution is root
mine got very slow on 2.3.6 after not having done a wipe for 6-7 months. I didn't even have many apps installed. The phone runs a lot faster on ICS rooted or not.
Yeah, I've heard it should run better with ics and I'm quite tempted to just go for it with one of the many ROMs out there. Must admit I'm hoping for the official ota to arrive soon. I'd like to keep the phone unrooted so it'll recieve the official update. But if the wait proves too long I might just have to find a good ROM
Any advice for a stable no-fuzz ROM that won't cause me too many issues with stuff not working properly?
The issues with the lagging homescreens have been present in 2.3.3 as well. Was hoping 2.3.6 would fix it, but alas:-\

you can also just install advanced task killer (free on market) and kill some apps that are running and u might not need them.
Also you can try the Go lancher Ex (free on market - is a lancher that runs themes and schemes, from my experience this app make everything run smoother and faster).
Anyway like others said already custom ISC are really nice to use
cheers
Installed ADW launcher.EX and it appears to have solved the issues. Thanks for the input

Does it work now on your transformer? I've been trying to get it running for several hours now, still without success.
There is one version floating around the web that does indeed work.
Its very hard to find though, and No I wont tell you where, except 'google'
Mind you, it took me 2 weeks to find it. And it doesnt run perfect. The graphic glitches sometimes, and the overall framerate isnt quite as good as it could be.
I also had to apply several tweaks in Chainfire3D to get it running somewhat stable.
works on prime 1.4
I have reverted to prime rom vs 1.4 and order and chaos, monopoly, lets golf 3, sim city, fifa 12 and many others that were previously unavailable all appear on market and install fine. I am currently playing Order & Chaos from market without flaw.
edit: Have been trying various roms such as Prime 1.4r2, 1.6r2, 2.1. It seems android 3.1 and 3.01 all show these games and 3.2 / 4.0 does not. Prime 1.4 uk install has Gameloft netherland as market source all others are just Gameloft
Gameloft doesn't like ASUS, so they all appear incompatible in market. You'd have to edit your build.prop to make market think you have say... a motorola xoom and buy from there. Or get the apk from another android device you have and edit the apk to not check for device compatibility.
I understand the changing of build.prop and have tried many methods to get gameloft games working in the past. I am now using a stock 3.1 nvflash and Order & chaos does indeed show up on the play store as purchased and I can install it without problem. This is without any modifications or hacked apk. Perhaps someone else on 3.1 can confirm this is not just my good luck.
Check your build.prop with prime, something may be different. I'm really reluctant to even look at honeycomb again though xD with ICS so great for me.
Opened my brand new Tab 2 P5110 10.1 yesterday and immediately received the Jellybean 4.1.1 OTA upgrade (UK).
I have noticed there is a certain lagginess when scrolling. Not a lot, but it is noticeable.
I even notice it when scrolling web pages.
I installed Apex launcher to see if that would help with the UI, (as I know there are options to speed things up), but the lagginess is still there.
I'm actually kind of underwhelmed by my Tab, after using my GT-N7100 Note II, and I can see I'll just end up selling it on if it doesn't improve.
Anyone recommend a ROM that will speed up my lovely TAB?
It's rooted, and can add CWM easily enough. No external SD card.
Thanks in advance.
lag free kernal
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950052 try this kernel out it will remove ALL YOUR LAG and help with your gaming I tested it and it worked flawlessly its for rooted stock ROMs I hope it helps you
Thanks.
Will this work on 4.1.x (Jellybean) rather than just 4.0.4 as the original post?

Interesting but i came from a Note 2 to a P3100 (needed a bigger screen) and after flashing to jerky bean i too had high hopes after using the note and it being blazingly fast. The simple truth was i noticed that due to the lack of memory compared to the note and its whopping 2GB RAM, it did lag the more apps I had open. I have managed to solve this by disabling a ton of Samsung stuff, and i regularly hit the clear all icon to shut down apps in the background.
Sounds like a hassle but it really isn't and doing this keeps my tab running blazing fast with no lag.
Bottom line i don't think the tab will run the same as the note 2....but of you figure out a way, if be interested to know.
Had a friend with the same problem on his 10.1 and he's done the same as me and he's seen an improvement.
I also installed holo launcher and have to confess I've never looked back!

No it will not work.
Maybe you can try any custom ROM in here.. . They get running smooth too.
There are Zero jellybean custom roms based on stock for P5110 I flashed the official CLK7 version with Odin and rooted it, then uninstalled the samsung bloatware, and it runs pretty fine, but it could definitely be better...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Problem is: there is always something not working properly with custom roms thats why I dont want to flash just yet.
Best would be clean, optimised stock rom with custom kernel.
I like the way it feels its just the lag is unbearable....
Hi,
I just got a free tab 2 with a Samsung camera, and have given it to my son to use, playing Agent Dash it often lags to the point where its not really playable, but sometimes its fine which is bizzare, anyway I'm considering rooting it and putting a custom rom on which I'm guessing will help???
Question is If I put some rom on and custom recovery etc can I go back to a stock Samsung recovery and firmware and reset the flash counter should I wish?
Thanks in advance
edit. Also are there any roms which look similar to the Samsung stock one with touchwiz that would perform better?

I"d say you won't get any improvement. Sounds like a app problem. I"d send a note to the developer. There is little difference if any in performance between CM based JB and Stock. Are you on the stock JB ? There is a difference in performance between ICS and JB.
And no , there is no stock ROM that performs better. IN general I'd say the tab performs very well. and problems you see are usually poorly written apps.of which there are a lot

Yeah updated it as soon as I got it yesterday its on P3110XXCLK7, I had another one earlier in the week but that came and the box was smashed up so got it swapped, I only briefly tried that one but it seemed to play fine, I restored this one last night thinking that might help but its come back, I was playing it myself a few hours ago for about 20-30 mins and it was fine, put it on charge and then took it off charge and tried again and it started to lag big time.
If I flash the stock rom via odin over the top it wont affect the flash counter will it? Maybe something got buggered during the update? Having said that it only appears to be this app
I've put a clip of it on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K988t6tgNUM

Falshing stock ROM by Odin will not affect the counter.
I never experience lag on this tablet, but certain apps will mess up any device. If you are having a problem with only one app , check with the developer. if you are not sure what's slowing things down try a cpu analyzer and see what is eating your resources up..
A lot of games now access the web during the game to provide interactive play or offer to sell you things, that can often slow things down.

Games often use lots of hacks to try to get certain things to work, and the hacks get hammered sometimes when the Android version changes.

How much internal storage do you have free?
About 3gb
I got Gt-i5800 for free a couple of days ago.. locked..no sim..slow. Wiping and updating to 2.3 through samsung kies and using orange sim sorted my problem.
I noticed it came stock with a youtube app and also that video didnt work online, but i'm finding many games to be unplayable. Backgrounds missing and white boxes where floating objects would be. Interestingly plague inc works near perfect(no map colour)
It doesn't support flash and it seems to be missing chunks of openGL libraries(the phone in general, not just mine)
..So is this phone really as bad as I think? Spica seemed much more accessible
Hope I'm wrong

It's OK.. I'm saying I got the phone with samsung's stock 2.2 and updated it to 2.3 through samsung kies.. I expected that to fix video/graphics but all it seems to have done is colour my menu and take up nearly all phone storage (after play/apps updates)
..So I guess I'm asking 'Is this normal?' I wanna check everyone else's phone was as useless as mine, before I go flashing roms and potentially making it worse
If its not cyanogenmod, its not 2.3. There is no 2.3 through kies on this device. But I noticed no probs with cyanogenmod

I was thinking of getting Cy's mod. Does it increase gaming performance at all? Can't seem to get my head round this open gl thing. Pretty sure it's just drivers missing, but the way it looks now(nearly no apps work) theres no java, html or flash support.

I am using Cyanogen Mod 7 (2.3) and it's pretty fast and my battery lasts double than that of 2.2, I don't if this happens to anyone else too.
The gaming performance will probably be reduced since the drivers were not 100% implemented. A few games work without lag.
All my apps work without any issue.
Lol galaxy gt-i5800 isn't really usefull for gaming it has a very slow processor and just switching through taps and apps let it laggs :l If you want to do a lot with your phone then you need to buy a better one
