So, my mom got a Galaxy Tab 2 a few days ago, but it seems... heavily Samsung influenced (Touchwiz and all that). I feel trying a custom ROM would help the performance of the tablet
There's a few apps on the tablet that are kind of cool, specifically Smart Remote. Could this app be installed on a custom ROM by some chance?
If you want to maintain IR functionality to run peel remote, etc you will need to stick with ROMs based on "stock" releases
IR is Samsung proprietary and they have not released the code for it. Custom ROM developers will not have access to it until Samsung decides to "allow" it
Custom ROMs that are based off of official releases that are P3113 or P3110 based should have working IR blaster
Check out some of the ROMs available in the development threads - the available options should be included in the first post of each released ROM

Root the device, install busybox, SuperSU and ESFileExplorer. Remove the Bloatware and you will have a snappy device.

Dear XDA community
I recently bought 2 Samsung devices: the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) and the Galaxy S5. P605 and G900F.
I used to install cyanogen mod on my devices, because I like a slim android system with only the most necessary apps and features. For both my devices the cyanogen mod is not available yet, which means they are both still unused in my desk.
I have read several threads where people were informed that they lose key features of those devices if installed with a custom ram and also that it is senseless to buy those devices and then flashing them with a custom rom. So I am aware of all that, non the less I am curious if there is a good slim mod that can support as many key features as possible but come without any pre installed google play and android stuff on them.
Any advice on making my devices usable with any mod would be much appreciated. Pointing me in the right direction of a mod that supports my devices would already be enough usually I can figure out everything else on my own.
Obviously I already googled but there seem to be many fake pages around and Im unsure what to trust.
Thank you for your time and consideration
I'm not specialist about Sammy devices, but I know that latest Cyanogen version CM 11 hasn't ported to your both devices yet.
I can give some links, but I cannot tell you which roms are best than other.
For your Galaxy Note 10.1 -2014 - P605
If you want a really light rom, you need to wait a release like Slim - Omni or CM
Go here => Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)

Have a look around this thread and maybe try out different ROMs that may be better suited to your needs http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/orig-development
wow that was fast for answers, thank you guys!
Is there like an overview of the most common mods? as in their name, what their goal/idea is?
Or how can I easily find a mod that supports my galaxy Note 10.1? Or did you mean you can give me a link of a mod that does support it philos64?
For my S5 I will use the unofficial Cyanogen mod for now as suggested by fxdil. Thank you for that.
fxdil, does the link you gave me work for my S5? also it says unified, does that mean it works for all devices, could I also install that on my tab?
Actually I cannot give a link for a rom, because you don't have pure AOSP for your Galaxy 10.1 - 2014
But you can go to see Cyanogen Mod website for seeing when a version could be released => Cyanogen Mod Website
I'm going to closed this thread because all links has been provided
If you need more technical infos about specific rom, go to the different threads -
Thanks in advance and good luck
Hello all,
I'm new at the development scene and would like to ask for some help and tips on porting/creating roms. I'm attempting to port Android 5.0 to my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and just learn about porting/development.
I have SDK Database, Cygwin Kitchen, Skipsoft's Android rom dev kit, and a few other dev applications. What I would like to know is there a GUI application for windows that I can breathe life into my roms and test them before I flash them? Or is it just trial and error? I have downloaded Xamarin, Genymotion, NDK, and a few others trying to find a way to emulate my phone in a virtual environment. Sorry to bother everyone with this, but I thought I'd ask the pros for help.
I'm a huge fan of the Cyanogenmod devs, Team Viper, Team kang, Team Carbon, and a few of the others dev teams out there. I've rooted and installed custom roms in all my devices as soon as I unboxed them. Sorry, but the customization of roms is what I love and to be able to shape/form them by any means possible is awesome to me.
Thanks again in advance for the help and ha ve a great day/weekend.

Newest ROM for my Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 SM-P900?
Looking for ANY rom for my tablet. My tablet are very slow, and needs at ROM upgrade.
What do you recommend?
Or your opinion on best ROM
Our opinions aren't as important as your own since it's ultimately your device.
What do you prefer - Samsung's baked in features in Touchwiz including the integrated S-Pen features, or do you prefer a cleaner Android experience without the S-Pen integration (though the pen will still work) ?
The "latest" stock Samsung firmware is basically 5.0.2.
I'm currently using Civato's ROM since I like the pen and multiwindow integration.

CM 13.0 but you'll loose a lot of Samsung's built in apps and quality of life usability features because the TouchWiz framework only functions for Android 5.0.2. Have you tried the debloated rom versions of the stock and non-stock Andriod 5.0.2 roms? Personally I'm eagerly awaiting a android 7.x.x release for the 12.2 pro P900 but it has yet to be released by rom developers mainly because Nougat (7.0) is still very young in its release cycle.
Hi everybody,
I am now using a Galaxy tab 2 P5110, running under Android 4.1.2, not rooted.
My problem is that my Tab is really slow when I use basic apps (chrome, office apps).
In order to get a bit more power from it (removing the Samsung layout, but I know it's a 2012 tablet...) I am looking for the most stable ROM I could use, and if possible running under a quite recent android version.
I am quite new to this kind of manipulations, so I am also looking for a tutorial to instal the ROM you could advice me.
I know I have to root my tab before doing anything. Does the tutorial available here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056 - by Weltwon) work with 4.1.2 android version?
Thank you all for your answers!

Edit: I have an other question. Is the root enough to remove the Samsung touchwizz layer? If yes, how to do it?
Lineage OS 13.0
You could get a Lineage OS 13.0 nightly, and from my experience those are fairly stable.

For starters if you want to get rid of TouchWiz you can remove all of the bloatware and Samsung apps (like TouchWiz home, AccuWeather widget, Samsung Apps, Group play).
But I recommend just install custom ROM. Maybe cm11 or cm12.. I am using Dhollmen 4.4.4 on my tab for 1 years and it is working very well for me.
Thank you for your advices,
@tasnim_tamim: I dont know Dohllmen. Is it à cyanogenmod Android version? Which tab do you run under this ROM?
@orionboughton: are nightly versions if lineageOS stable? I have heard that these are update vert often, and some Android functionality can be disabled
Its a ROM based of SlimROM.. I am running it on my galaxy tab 2 7.0 p3100
Lineage OS 13.0
Lineage OS is basically an updated version of Cyanogenmod, so i guess that's what it's based off of.
I've been running a nightly of Lineage OS from their website at https://download.lineageos.org/espressowifi , and it's really smooth compared to touchwiz and the ram is managed much better. The camera works, the gyroscope works, and I've only had one or two problems (like root not being enabled out of the box, and needing to flash a supersu zip to get that running), and besides that it's all good. If you have a problem, rebooting usually fixes it and I've rarely had to do that in the past few weeks I've been running it.
Another plus is it runs android 6.0, which seems to be better in every way. Great standby time, 4h or more screen on time, etc.
However if you do decide to get it, make sure to flash with the latest version of twrp, and if not you might softbrick your device.
I have just recently rooted my devices and installed a custom rom "Android Revolution HD" but now most apk's don't work, especially my sideload apps from filelinked. Does anyone know what's wrong and how to fix this plus comment with advice about tweaking settings due to I'm new with rooting.
Rooting is a one off operation nothing further to be done .All it does is allow System to be accessed .
Your apps may not work due to not being supported by 4.4.2 or as they are non Google Play apps .
That rom was posted SIX years ago .
Do you have any suggestions of a rom I'm new to rooting
Samsung based roms are old 4.4.2 and links may be dead and no support .
Android based roms are newer.
Personally i use last stock rom .
