Change dpi settings - Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus

Hello guys I'd like to introduce myself to this forum xD.. Been around xda since February I think..
Started in the world of android with a galaxy nexus and now own several other devices..
Well my question its simple.. (don't know about the complexity of the answer)
I need to change dpi settings by editing build.prop but I don't know if by doing this the tablet will boot loops or just the nav bar disappear hehehe.. I'm using this tab as my daily driver phone and I'd like to put ics in phone mode...
I have searched but could not find anything useful.. Thanks in advance

Well it depends on what ROM your running. If it's stock ICS then the answer is no, there seems to be some protection there against modifying the build.prop. There's no problem doing with on the stock HC or CM9.

Oh ic.. Seems like I can't find the official cm9 thread... Are we officially supported? I could not find anything on cyanogenmod wiki but p1 p1n p1l wich its the original tab not the plus.. That said would you be so kind on posting the official link in the case we are officially supported..
Other thing it's would it be okay flashing cm9 from cwm.zip (official or unofficial) since I own a galaxy note and doing this (because of the whipping process) the phone gets super bricked...
If so I guess I should flash an hc rooted rom and upgrade to cm9 from there? As we go back to gingerbread in Gnote to be able to wipe and flash any other rom
Thanks in advance

Personally I take the same precautions on my tab as the note, which is to say Odin flash back to gingerbread or in this case honeycomb then full wipe and finally flash cm9. Try aeorth's cm9, I doubt we would ever be officially supported but it's good enough for me.
I have little wifi issues as well as gps issues but nothing I am too overly concerned about.

make sure you have a stock image to reflash should it not work.
also make sure that you use a recovery with the "bricking" problem fixed.

I have flashed cm9 and changed dpi but the nav bar just disappear.. I was about to edit the framework-res.apk in order to be able to get a working multidpi framework but then cm10 aorth came out with cm10 nexus 7 mode so pointless to do so..
Go try cm10 its awesome and everything works... A perfect build..
Posted this just in case someone is looking the same thing I was looking for...

Suggestion for my first flash

Hi everyone,
I'm ready to proceed to flash my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3113) but I don't know what rom take. It's like the CyanogenMod are very popular (and i've found a CM9 compatible with my P3113) but does someone have suggestion for me (my backup is made, ready to be restore if anything goes wrong).
Thanks alot and have a nice day!

I am running CM9 on my tablet right now and I really like it. I would definitely recommend trying it out.
Well that depends on what you are looking for in your rom my friend.I have tried every rom for this device and right now am on cm10 without any problems at all.If you want a more customizable rom go with either cm9/10 or any of the aokp roms.but if you want the feel to remain stock there is an excellent option with the metallice rom.I still think it was the fastest and smoothest so far because it had a great kernel with an oc to 1.38 my tab was so fast.but I just need my cm.lol

I'm in the same boat as you. My wife rooted her T869, and installed clockworkmod and wanted the QuickPanel mod, CRT tv animation, and custom boot animation, that she has on her T989, and when she found out that she couldn't because her rom was odexed, she flashed CM10, and while it did have some of the mods she wanted, it lacked the things she liked about the stock ROM such as the mini apps tray, the music player, and the task manager in the system settings.
She has also noticed that the font is way too small for her status bar, but overall, she misses the look and feel from the stock ICS rom. She just wants something that is exactly like the Darkside Evolution ICS 4.0.4 ROM that she has on her T989. It is based on the stock ICS ROM, but has the tweaks she wants and she has the customization options as well.
I have searched and asked if there was a deodexed/zip aligned rom based on the most recent UVLG7 update for the t869, but despite a few views, no one seems to have an answer. We have been looking into how we can try to deodex it ourselves, and our jobs takes up most of our personal time and so we've no time to learn, but we seemed to have hit a wall, and I am hesitant to ask because I don't want to be judged, warned or banned for asking what others might consider a "noob" question or ridiculed for not having the same level of experience as everyone else around here.
So, in the meantime, I just quietly wait and hope that more options will present themselves.
Actually i can learn how to deodex my tab...bcoz i done deodex my previous device...but, just deodex...i dont know how to tweaks, how to make a custom rom, how to make a custom kernel, how to make a themes(but i know how to change Jpeg file on system.ui and framework-res)...ohh god...i hope we will get dev on our section...

we got devs on our forum. but the support from samsung (the drivers especially) are very bad, they aren't released on the web. so devs find difficulty to make custom kernels.
some devs also tried porting AOKP to gtab+, just stay patient guys

That's just the minimum that are required by them to be released I think, it's not everything. ATM our CM10 relies on some binary blobs for things such as the kernel from the S3 simply because there's no source available to build yourself and there's not enough documentation to write one yourself either.

[Q] What is the best rom for me :)? (7.0)

Hey.
I am going for a trip tomorrow, i need good rom for my device .
Samsung Galaxy tab 2, 7" (love this device so much )
I want good rom with: Battery life, gaming performance, smooth UI!
I've tried Sungsonic (USB Problems, and i dont really like TouchWiz)
Cyanogenmod 9. (Little bad performance)
Cyanogenmod 10. My Favourite. - But it has some problems. Text is little bit blurry. App drawer, settings are little laggy when open. Performance would be little better, but its good! Icons on dock are blurry too .
Thank you for reading.
I appreciate your work!!!!!!!!!!

I'm liking it myself. I didn't like pie at first, but after turning it off, i found i had grown partial to it. Aokp milestone is another, probably more so, stable ROM.

i'll give u a suggestion...i havent tried pacman rom yet, but till now IMO cm10.1 is the smoothest!
even i found text and icons to be blurry..so i suggest u to use that rom with nova launcher prime (u can set custom icon size) and set the system font size to large!
that solves the problem for me...im using the 20130316 nightly with KK cm kernel core 0.2..everythings buttery smooth!
gives me about 5 hrs of screen usage (which really good and just an hour less than what stock rom gives with power saving mode on..
Cheers!
P.S:im gonna try PACMAN rom now
Running pac rom here also and loving it.
I've ran CM10.1, Sungsonic, romswell, ota 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 and without a doubt the best so far is pac rom.
But honestly the battery life is the same on all of these roms, don't let anyone tell you otherwise
EDIT: after having pac rom for quite a few days I take back that last statement. This is the best battery life on a rom I've seen so far

Running CM10.1 on my GT-P3113
The stock jelly bean 4.1.2 rom is great, with nova launcher and KKboot kernel for OC. I have a GT-P3113 and I use the stock jelly bean for GT-3110 it works great, smart remote peel works the mic works, accelarometer works.

[Q] Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8010 JB 4.3/4.4 ?? Root?

As topic says
I am a Tab2 user but i got this yesterday and i really need the JB 4.3 .
I just hate Samsung stock bloat rom. Is there any custom alternative to my Note GT-N8010?
Also is there any way to root this device?
I think i found a guide but i ask the professionals here instead of guessing
Thanks guys/Girls!
There are plenty of roms and ways to be rooted, you should check the whole android dev. Forum before oppening a new topic asking for something that is already there...
Well is i said im not sure what i can use or not. I do not want to damage my tablet and therefor i ask the guys who knows what rom i can use with my GT-N8010 32GB
Most of the roms i have been looking at doesn't say if it is for my device or the other 8xxx devices. I have root but i want a new fast rom (4.3-4.4) with working s-pen and IR
i ask because i do not want to make a mistake :/ Also looking for a good Kernel!
I am looking for
*Rom thats fast with no bloat (4.3/4.4) working with GT-N8010 32GB
*A nice Kernel with over clock possibility working with GT-N8010 32GB

Well, I have a n8010 too, and we dont have a 4.4 rom yet, I tried Omnirom but wasnt able to install it. 4.3.1 rom is the CyanogenMod 10.2 , you can check official CM page and look for the n8013 model it should work just fine and it comes preloaded with a good kernel, but the rom is so fast fhat you wont need any OC, after thst you got Android Revolution HD and Hyperdrive, I am currently on hyperdrive (4.2.1) and sweet lord is FAST it comes with bloat only if Uwant it and all the spen funcionalities, Oh yeah..also CM10.2 doesnt come with all the spen funcionalities but the pressure sensitivity is the same.. (but you dont have snote and the realtime cropping option etc, those come with touchwiz.... My re omendation?.. Hyperdrive. Next one would be CM10.2 both are really awesome (for me) but one is AOSP and the other is touchwiz
Thank you very much! Will take a look at CM10.2 as i didnt get the Wifi working on Hyper.....

For making wi fi work on hyperdrive you must change the wifi channel of your router, I have it on automatic and its great
OK thanks! but i wanted to lock the channel as all here is using almost the same channel which i didn't like I wanted my own channel weiii

Concerning hyperdrive i had the same problem some time ago. maybe try one of the solutions here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296669
They did work back then, but i don't know if they still do.
For me (almost) all roms for the n8013 were/are working fine on the n8010.
If you have problems, try to flash latest version of Philz recovery(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202714) for 8013 !!! with odin.
for rooting methods 2 and 3 should do from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080366.
an odin alternative http://www.xda-developers.com/android/meet-jodin3-a-web-tool-that-flashes-your-samsung-device/
4.3 rom -> maybe http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151873
4.4 -> omni
I'm loving omnibus on my 8010. I had to install the 8013 recovery to get it working but official omnirom builds are imminent and should support the 8010 directly.
The rom is fast, sleek, no real issues I can see, excellent power usage. Loving it

go with [4.4.2] OmniROM instead...
Although I did try Hyperdrive, I wasn't too impressed & Pacman was better, as I have been on 4.1.2 since day one & finally made the switch. I skipped over 4.2/4.3 & decided to go with the [[UNOFFICIAL Kit-Kat]] omniROM 4.4.2 on mine for the meantime. I am very much impressed, only issue I have found so far, is the 'Swype' feature isn't working, but other than that, its stellar thus far. I would highly recommend this rom for your tablet, until something 'new comes along... Maybe a Jedi X-Master ROM for our Note10.1's!!!
OmniROM 4.4 Does work for Galaxy Note 801x
One catch about OmniROM, it doesn't have a root built-in, so don't forget to root your device after you install the new ROM.
So to install, make sure you have CWM 6.0.4.4 (aka Philz Touch) or TWRP 2.6.3.1 as your recovery, and then go from there. The newest Roms are located on the OmniROM website now, and N801x is included. Get the gapps for Android 4.4, install after you install the ROM. Install the root after all that.
It's easy to install, and easy to use. I have been using Omni for about a month now, and it runs great. I just wish Samsung would've had enough sense to update all their models with this version of Android.

First install a custom recovery, the one I have found to work best is Philz Touch. You can do a search and find the link for it here in XDA. It's good because as I have noted before, OmniROM does not come rooted. Philz Touch has to be the easiest recovery I have ever used to install root, and you may want to do it several times because there are nightlies for the ROM.
As for the ROM, go to dl.omnirom.org and go to the folder for 'n801x'
Once you get the zip file downloaded, copy it to your SD card, install the recovery, and then install the ROM
Oh, don't forget, make sure you also get gapps for Android 4.4 on your SD card before doing this. Pointless to have a ROM with no gapps install.
Let me know if you have any problems.
Good luck

Newest ROM for ME301T?

Got TWRP installed, and am trying to find a good ROM. Looks like the only active development is KatKiss ROMs? These appear to be incompatible with the 301T. Otherwise, I could only find JB ROMs. Anyone know of anything newer that will work?
I don't think there's been much development for the memo pads. If you're OK with loosing it you could try a TF300 rom, but I doubt it'll boot or work well for that matter....

Actually, I just noticed that Tim has a ME301 comparability pack for his KitKat rom. Check the Development section. Lucky you - his roms are among the best
