[Q] A few questions - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
i am a "developer" and i bought recently a galaxy tab 2 Wi-fi version for 200 euros,but I see that exists two versions.
Wifi and Wifi+3G, are they equal ? The same costums rom will work on both ?
I will ask some more questions after i got that awsner.
Thanks

Don't know all the details but I can tell you ALL the devs that make ROMs for these devices maintain seperate builds for the 3G version versus the wifi only version.

From what I have worked out so far is there are separate roms for three 5100-3g and the 5110-wifi & 5113&-wifi american version is the later two have IR Blaster and the 5100 3g doesn't and they can't seem to find a workaround for it so far as far as I can tell theres different roms because of the wifi&IR Blaster and 3g differences in the stock roms,this is just my observations from reading the forums I don't have any development knowledge at all

One S S3 vs S4 ROM Support

Hi,
To all the dev:
As we all know,there is 2 derivative of One S.S3 1.7ghz vs S4 1.5ghz.
As far as Custom ROM,is the ROM same for both platform??(EG:ROM for S4 flash into S3 and vice versa)??
The answer to this question will be one of the main deciding factor
Unfortunately,my region's One S come with S3 i think
From what i have read on this forums various threads, few people have said that it should work on both, though i haven't tested it yet myself because i am happy with stock at the moment.
My country has S3 as well and i have to say that it's a cracking phone, works like a charm.
Oh and greetings to everyone, this is my first forum post although i have been lurking in these forums for a while now!
So any input from developer??
I'm No developer soo anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
My guess is that there will be no issue regarding roms except for the kernel, assuming both models (S3 and S4) have the same partition tables. Since kernel is the one that controls hardware you'll have to flash your corresponding kernel .
Isn't the screen resolution different as well? (720HD on S3 vs. QHD on S4)
Apparently not :

Gt-p5113 same as 7"?

I'm seeing that both sizes of Galaxy Tab are posted together on the forums. Does this mean I can apply tweaks from the 7" to my 10"? Seems odd, thought I'd ask the experts...
Not Quite
Depends on what you want to do. You can get the 7" AOSP build configuration working as long as you use the kernel from the 10". ROMs built specifically for the 7" will kind of work, meaning that they'll boot, but the touchscreen won't work, among many other things.
Thanks for the answer--I would love to install a rom but development seems targeted toward the 7" these days (and the non-us 10") and I was envious of the chances to play with the tab after rooting. I've seen a posts about a couple of roms for the p5113 but not much feedback as to how they're working for folks.

Yup.
I'm using the kernel I pulled from my 10" P5113 in the /prebuilt folder. I'll have to do a quick compare of the respective folders tomorrow, but from what I recall there wasn't much more one had to do to get it running. I've verified that wifi and camera definitely work. Haven't had too much time to check out anything else.

I need help with buying a Galaxy Tab.

I like samsung but i really hate that they release a thousand models in a series, which is very confusing for average customers.
I want to buy a galaxy tab that that has 3g connection. I found 2 models online, which are GT-P75xx and GT-P51xx. What is the differences between them? From what i've seen, P51xx model receives a lot more support in xda.
Thanks

if it is better for gaming 7500 (Tegra 2), but if not then it is a bit newer 5100 .. although the game is also on it will go bad
sorry for my english
You're comparing the Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Tab 2. Specs are relatively the same between the two devices, but the original will be better for gaming with the Tegra chip. I believe the original may also have a slightly better screen, but otherwise, they are fairly similar. The P5100 will probably be supported longer though since it was released about six months ago compared to over a year ago for the original tablet.
If you want 3g tab2 so only two models:
3100 7 inches
5100 10 inches
The 7xxx is tab1 not two

Im surprised there is'nt ALOT more Custom Roms for the Tab 3 T211

Im honestly surprised there is'nt more Custom Roms available for the Galaxy Tab 3 T211, for instance, Roms like Miui, C.M 10.2, AOKP, PACMAN, or even a Touch Wiz 4.3 Updated jump Off to run flawlessly on the Tab 3 T211. Im like really Baffled over here wondering whats going on, this is a great lil device , however this stock 4.1.2 SUCKs. Please, we need a great developer to cook up something RAW for us to Flash. Thanks for listening....

I really hope for someone will make it soon. I can't do it myself, I don't understand the program language.
So, for you developer, thanks b4. Maybe you can spent your time to make a CM with very2 updated Android sistem (maybe 4.4).

Hey A, You just gave me hope..!!
I honestly hope your Right Buddy, cause from what i see in the forum theres only literally only 2 Custom Roms, Dont get me wrong i TRULY appreciate ALL Devs in this Forum and XDA as a whole, But i definitely dont know how to even start cooking up a Custom Rom, however if ANY devs would need any help with anything simple i always available and willing to assist. Now could it be there isnt many Roms for the T211 cause its fairly new, about how old it is already 6 months old..?? Cause thats a bit of time already. well i hope your right buddy, cant wait to have at least 1 sick rom with UNRESTRICTED TETHERING... I WISH ALL THE BEST TO ALL Devs and everyone as a whole in XDA..

We are here to help one another- Let us work hand in hand in helping to get this device to work as great as possible. Honestly speaking this device may be lagging at times....but this can be resolved by Kernel revamp plus tweaks like :
- Scorpion Bionic Optimisation
- Neon script
My setup to be honest :
Stock ROM..Rooted
Crossbeeder Tweak
So far have not removed any bloatware yet and with the above setup my Antutu (full test) score is on my SM-T211
It'll be worth the wait. My phone is a Motorola Atrix HD. It was released August 2012 and didn't get any real development until the bootloader was unlocked in April of 2013. Since then it has most all of the major ROM's on 4.4.2. Everyone kept saying the same thing about this time last year. Just stick it out.

Totally Understand your dilemma..
Hey B, the deference with the the Galaxy Tab is there no BootLoader holding back the development. i honestly think no big development is acquiring because of the hardware, its not much to brag about, its only a Dual core, i think thats the problem, and with this stock System its really laggy, well for me it is, cause i have the note 2 as well. Anyway i will be here patiently waiting cause in really loving this device, once it get some steroids then ill love it even more. Thanksss.

Ill like to start off by saying and giving a HUGE thanks to ''TrevE-MOD'' for his Wifi Tether Hack, I downloaded his apk and started messing with it and then actually got it to work... Any one interested in getting it to work on there Galaxy Tab 3 this is the apk you need to find (I found it in the search all Forums on the top right corner of this page), ''wifi_tether-v3_3-pre2 apk". Once thats downloaded press the menu botton on the botton left side of the Tab 3, then press settings, go to and Click on ''Change Device-profile", then scrool down and tap on Samsung S3, then Click on ''Chanse SetUp-Method" then press "Netd-Ndc (master), then Check on "Wifi-driver reload", thats all it takes, ENJOY..!! Your going to see other options Checked, leave it as is, as for "Wifi-Encryption" you can click that on and set up a Name and password, i did... Hope this is use full. Again i will like to THANK TevE for this GREAT hack, i had it running on my Note 2 As well. Works GREATTTTT>>>!!!!!!!!

So to make sure that I understand what you are saying... I could, instead of having a Wi-Fi Hot Spot from Sprint, have a Tab 3 from Sprint with a data plan, install this, and then be able to use this tablet as a Hot Spot? I currently use my Note 3 (that has unlimited data) but there are times I'd rather have the Hot Spot (or this tablet) as how I connect my laptop to the internet (Like when 4G isn't available and using the Note on 3G basically disables the ability to do phone and data simultaneously).
I don't use the Hot Spot very much so I could probably do this with a limited data plan on the tablet and get away with it.
Anyway. Too long of a post to simply ask if this allows tethering of a Laptop to the Tab 3 for the laptop to use the Tab 3's data plan.
Thanks!

That is not that simple as you think we need a source we need to build from source we need a github page for T211 and we need a developer who is intrested for this device and has the time to do it!

Well 4.4 Kitkat is coming soon from Samsung. Most people like Touchwiz and you can't get a lot working beyond 4.2.2 in any ROM until Samsung drops a new version and the libs can be updated. Not much to do until 4.4 comes that hasn't already been done. Root, then a few tweaks and the tab really hums. When you branch off into cell providers tab versions it gets even harder because you need new /different kernels, modems and firmware specifically for them. In other words there just isn't that much demand for custom ROMs and it takes a lot of effort.
Its funny you say that D.
There isn't even 4.2.2 Build out for the Galaxy Tab 3 T211.. The Tab 3 T311 came with 4.2.2 out the BOX, so it has nothing to do with waiting, cause 4.2.2 is there, however your right when you say there isn't any Devs willing to put in there quality time to cook anything up for the T211, I dont know why cause this Device is a nice lil jump off, so i just made the decision to sell it and cop the Tab 3 8'' T311. Much better device, barely any lag and it came running 4.2.2 out the box, Plus it comes with 16gigs of internal storage, and it just costed me ONLY an extra $10 after selling the T211 for $350, i came off like a fat rat.. lol... So I have my Note 3 Tweaked out, running Jovy23 Darthstalker V6 Custom Rom, Tethering my Tab 3 T311 FLAWLESSLY... Im Loving It..!! :0

Stop hoping.. WHen Tab3s get the official 4.4 is when you will see a working 4.4 . You can't port things without a proper kernel , libs, blobs, and framework to build on. Libs and blobs are not all open source and its tricky to build a kernel without a vendor base. Samsung should be pushing out some 4.4 in April / May

Cell carrier versions always lag behind because they require the cell carrier to add in their bits , kernel, radio, modem, etc.
Hey T.F
I Agree, i would LOVE a T.W 4.4.2 KitKat myself. Im running CM11 (Big Up to CM) and its running GREAT, FLAWLESSLY on my T311, however I Know TW 4.4.2 KitKat will be ported at some point to our 8" Tab 3, look at the bright side though, at-least we have a few options and are not stuck on 4.1.2 like the T211....
QUOTE=thefoss;51314636]I just got a Tab 3 8.0. Was really hoping for a 4.4.2 Tab Pro port[/QUOTE]
Well after reading all comments ... its mean this device is not so good ? Complaints about lags or no custom rom?
Even on stock rom you can improve performance with tweaks like edit your build.prop and add some tweak or add tweak in init.d folder like fly-on mod...
For me I use stock rom 4.1.2 with some tweaks on build.prop
I can play games like asphalt 8 or gta san andreas or play psp game almost smooth with no lag except some game on psp emulator of course I cant compare with my nvidia shield... but for me this galaxy tab 3 7.0 is good enough
Here my score on antutu

Hybrid Galaxy S6 Roms

Good evening XDA community, could anyone be as kind as to inform me of any known roms in the S6 section that also will work for the G920a. They're only seems to be about 3 roms compatible with this particular variant. thanks!
