So I'm debating on which ROM to load...
I'm new to rooting and loading ROMS in general so I'm a noob with this whole process.
I'm leaning towards Tab2Lite, as I just want to make the tablet experience faster but I'm open to CM9.
Is it my understanding that the CM9 does not have hardware acceleration, but MetalliKernel CM9 does?
What does CM9 offer over Tab2Lite?
Both have hardware acceleration. Both are very fast.
Cm9 gives you an AOSP ui while tab2light gives you a stockish feel.
I would say try them both and pick the one you like best.

codeworkx' CM9 build has hardware acceleration, xoomdev's did not.
My recommendation is use CM9 unless you need the IR blaster, in that case you should use Tab2Lite.
Note: I could be wrong, maybe the IR blaster is working in the latest CM9 build now? I haven't checked.
Thanks for the info. guys. I will look over codeworkx CM9 thread regarding the IR blaster.
A couple of other questions...
Once the new ROM is flashed... will I continue to get "Software Update" messages from the device?
What stage is the codeworkx CM9 ROM at, RC1?
Try them both and see what you prefer.
Cm9 is faster but tab2lite is fast in a stock type of way.
Both are the best of their kind.
Thanks Scott... I think I'm going to try Tab2Lite today.
What threads should I follow for this (rooting, etc)? I have the P3113.

hi there..
just a noob question, will there be a miui roms for tab 7+ P6200? since i thought those roms are awesome..
Heeeeeeeeee hehe it should be AMAZING you're right I personally guess it shouldn't be too hard to build, but we have few devs right now and aorth is already working on the CM9 which supposed to be wonderful too.
I read once talking about the P6200 MIUI in its Italian channel on nexuslab but I think we're still far away from it
Let's hope dude I'd just like it too on my own p6200

In order to properly have MIUI, we must have CM9 first. Why? MIUI is based off of CM.
That being said, once we have CM9 fully (or close to) being a Daily Driver, someone can easily port over MIUI using a lot of the CM9 components and merging them with MIUI bits.
Atleast that's how it happened on my Epic 4G

CM and MIUI are both AOSP ROMs and you need an AOSP kernel in order to get them to work properly. You could get it ported over right now but nothing would work, same as with the CM9 builds we already have, so really I see no point in doing it except as a proof of concept or work in progress type ROM. The few devs we have are all working hard on CM9 but it's slow going without having all the needed hardware drivers that Samsung won't release. Once that is done MIUI won't be far behind.
we have very few developers for now, and there are some major issues such as the wireless.. until that issues are resolved, i don't think we want to split tasks or add more task for the developers. We need at least one working custom kernel first for use as a basis. That is a much higher priority now.
Hi everybody,
We all know our phones CM9 development is soon gonna be complete(?) AS FAR AS kernel 2.xx CAN ALLOW... So the question that everyones asking is this " When will Dhiru start compiling CM 10 ?? "
I OPENED THIS THREAD TO ASK YOU THIS :
SHOULD WE GO FOR CM7 OR CM10 ??
This question arose when my brother wanted to take an android.. He asked bout SL.. Even though i love my SL i had to suggest s2 bcoz it has stable aosp rom support.. Our fone, well, right now belongs to the low development area... Development is at starting to get low... No custom roms, no themes and lot of incomplete aosp roms...
If we go for CM7 dvelopment, i am hopeful that we'll hav atleast a 100% stable AOSP rom.. Even though it might be ancient in the current scenario, we'll get a lightning quick rom that will just fly on our fone..
And well, a stable CM7 will lead to a stable MIUI... Ppl can work on things with a stable AOSP base...
I know its for Dhiru to decide.. Wanted to know what the community is thinking...

CM9 is already more stable than CM7.
BEFORE ANY NOOBS STARTS FLAGGING ON ME, MIND THAT I'VE BEEN HERE FROM THE BEGINNING OF THIS COMMUNITY..
I KNOW I CANT FORCE DHIRU INTO DEVELOPING ANYTHING..
AND THAT THIS IS JUST TO KNOW WHAT THE COMMUNITY THINKS...
PEACE... :highfive:

Why would he do that? That's like saying that Froyo should be developed for the S3.
Dhiru is going to fix everything with the help of everyone in this community (devs and testers). I truly believe that. He doesn't need to do it (he has 2 other phones) so he does it for the pleasure of the challenge. Kernel 2.x.x isn't a limitation and kernel 3.x.x isn't aborted. The way things are going, I imagine that CM9 will be out of alpha with everything working very soon. That'll be when the tweaking and mods flood in. CM10 will be just a few ports away.
I say leave CM7 where it should be. History. Sorry to be a buzz kill, but CM7 is for devices that really can't handle ICS and the i9003 can.
Also CM10 won't need many changes anyways, a working CM9 will probably result in a working CM10.
So nope, CM10 won't be an incomplete ROM, basically CM9 Bugs = CM10 Bugs, i am with improving CM9 and CM10 at the same time, and leaving CM7 laaater on.
I agree with sam too, CM7 is outdated.
@samisax
Wonderful answer, that!!n a good argument too...i agree one hundred percent that cm7 should be written off as history.dhiru will soon give us a stable cm9 AND Cm10 i m sure
I agree on what samisax says, if this phone can run cm10, there is no reason to go backwards.

As i said in the OP, outdated may be, but something which can be made 100% stable by a developer such as dhiru in a very short time(comparitively)... Something which can be used as a TRUE daily driver..
As dhiru and othr developers say ther are many things in cm9 & cm10, which can only be fixed when kernel 3.xx comes out.. Ad dt get me wrong, i know our fone can handle ICS perfectly... But it'll take tym.. Till the time comes, cant we hav cm7??
i think it is a bad idea to make cm7 stable, because a single step on working cm7, will lead to delay stable cm9...
i hope dhiru can finish developing cm9 soon.
we must settle for cm9 first and then cm10 can be developed by some good guys
thanks dhiru for cm9 even it is not finished yet. it is good to see my phones capabilities.
Can't post this in the development section as a response so I will post it here. Does the new InstigatorX 6.1 kernel work on TeamChopsticks CM10 8/12 a2 ROM? YES!!! Everything works great. Camera, video and landscape work also. Only issue is I get FC's using Facebook sometimes but that is minor for me. Used CWM 6xx to flash. Flashed rom, gapps 7/29 and kernel flawlessly. As always, thanks to everyone involved for making our phones much more enjoyable! Enjoy!

Calling and texting also work good. No issues yet. Still an alpha so you may have issues with other programs. Chances are that we don't have the same stuff. Only thing is overall phone volume has been low since I first flashed CM9 two months ago. Easy fix was downloading a volume boost app.

YouTube and Break apps work without fc'ing. Have noticed the same on actual websites with flash though. like ebaumsworld, but I can usually refresh the page and it loads.

r4ins is going to keep up with the AOKP Jellybean project since armyvet is not, and gmillz will also probably keep building on their ROM. I'm on the 8/5 with the 1a chopsticks base and InstigatorX 6.2 kernel. If you're experiencing a "choppy" feel, check out either the Darkside or InstigatorX kernel and pick a good frequency governor. That can help a lot. On any of these early ROM's you're going to still get FC's and reboots.. they're Alpha's. If avoiding that is the most important thing to you, I would stick to CM9, Chimera, SkyICS, or a similar ICS ROM.
Hi all.
I am interested in running a vanilla ICS or JB rom on this phone, and CM9 or CM10 will also do. Where can I find information on builds for this phone? Cyanogenmod does not have it under their "supported" devices....
There is a whole forum containing what you are looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1726
Yes I am aware of that forum, but I posted here because it was a "question"...?
My confusion is that there seem to be a ton of forks from cm9/cm10 and I didnt know if there was one that was better than another, or how to go about weeding through them. Its just messy to try and figure out.

There are only 4 options? AOKP ICS, AOKP JB, CM9 and CM10. You can pretty much disregard all the other ones if you're looking for CM based roms. Also, we are officially supported by CM10...Though you should read that forum before downloading and flashing. Some of the unofficial fixes have not been merged yet.

CM10 is stable enough for a daily driver as long as you don't rely on your camera/video camera too much (though this may be fixed now, didn't test). However, with nightlies you're always risking flashing a broken build. That's just how the game is played on any device.

Hi there,
I just got the Rogers S2 LTE for my wife. I rooted the phone and am looking to install a Non-Touchwiz ICS ROM for her. There seems to be many great ROMS for this phone but it is a little overwhelming, I've been using the HTC Desire Z and Inspire and this is my first taste of Samsung Smartphones. I'm currently using Ice Cold Sandwich AOKP for my Inspire and really like it. Can anyone recommend something similar for the Skyrocket? I've tried the stable version of CM9 and like it but want to know what else is available. I would like something that is stable as she will be using it as a daily ROM. Any recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks.
Please read through the threads for the various ROMs and make your own decisions. "Best" threads like this one are not allowed because they lead to flaming and migraines.

My bad, I was debating which section to post it in. I will try all the different ROMS to see which works best for her. Thanks for replying.
As far as non-tw goes, aokp (I believe milestone 6 was the latest ics build) or cm9 are probably your best bets.
Not sure if you've seen it but there is a list of ICS ROMs in vincom's sticky here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785999
I would go through them for options and see what appeals if ICS is important for you. I had good results with Magic Whiz R2, which you might like as a tweaked version of CM9. You're not going to see a lot of dev effort around ICS based ROMs, most have switched focus to JB and with the new CM10 nightlies for the skyrocket even more so (you might consider that too if you like CM9).

First wrong section. Second, search, read, test them out and make that decision yourself.
