Apologies if this has been covered before but I've searched everywhere and couldn't find an answer.
My q's are:
- Is there a definitive list of P5110 bloatware that can be safely frozen without trashing the device?
- I'm trying to reduce lag so should i be freezing or uninstalling and help in reducing lag?
- I did find a list for the P3110 but wasn't sure if this was relevant, is it?
Thanks.
The safest way to remove bloatware would be to flash a custom rom.

I could do but I'd like to keep it close to stock to avoid any stability or reliability issues with a custom Rom.
I did find this list for the P3100 and also this list for the Galaxy Apollo - are either of these lists still current or relevant to the Tab 2?
Anyone? I'm looking to remove Google Now and plenty of the Samsung bloatware. Any help much appreciated.

Hello Guys,
I was looking for Samsung touchwiz UI(any galaxy model) for Non rooted TF300
Any body have please tell or point me where to look. I been looking lots of post but there are related to rooted phone and tablet.
Any help in this matter highly appreciated.
Thanks.
There aren't that many ports yet for this device yet. All the rom`s are in development section and require you to unlock the bootloader.

Normally when adding any custom roms you need to root and unlock the boot loader. Without this I assume your only option would be to possibly find some sort of launcher that was similar to touchwiz. and some custom widgets etc.
I have a galaxy s3 Verizon, unrooted. I’m looking to root this device and install a rom. I have rooted android devices before (thunderbolt, tablet) just to gain super user powers for particular apps. I've not installed ROMs, launchers, themes etc. Can someone explain to me the difference between the three?
I would like some suggestions on which to use. I'm looking for a rom that looks sleek (somewhat futuristic, compared to stock JB), gives me customization abilities such as the notification bar widgets, lock screen, etc. I want to be able to remove some bloat ware, I want one that is stable, runs smooth, and gets good 4g. What’s the difference between TW, ASOP, etc?
Do I need to do titanium backup? Will it save all my apps and the data associated with them? Can I use Titanium backup to restore my apps to their previous state after flashing a rom? Do I lose everything when I flash a rom or launcher? What do I use to flash back to stock JB if needed?
I’m not looking for step by step guide, just some answers and suggestions.
Thanks

1.TW is Samsung's ui while AOSP is Android before Samsung messed with it.
2. You don't have to use titanium backup if you don't want to as there is a simpler alternative called Super Backup.
3. You don't flash launchers .
4. When flashing ROMs you only lose apps not data.
5. The stock ROMs are in the android development section.
6. Suggestions for ROMs are based on biases so it is best that you check the ROMs yourself. Whatever ROMs work for others might not work for you.

what kind of rom would you suggest I try first? TW or AOSP? would super backup restore all my apps after flashing a rom? Thanks for all your help!

Most of the AOSP 4.2 ROMs are in beta stages so I would advise you to hold out until they are in the final stages. So the TW ROMs and the stable 4.1 AOSP ROMs are the way to go for now. Super Backup does restore and backup apps.
what the difference between a rom and kernal. Are kernals aosp & tw or roms? Sorry for all the n00b questions.

Kernels are not ROMs. In real world terms the kernel serves as a translator for your phone's hardware and software to communicate with each other. ROMs are customized versions of Android.
I still suggest Titanium Back up if you want to invest in the pro key the features are a lot better. If you turn into a flashaholic like myself then nothing beats restoring your system to the same way before the flash with one click. but the market has multiple backup apps and i know different people like different apps but TB with pro key I think seems to be the fastest with the most features.

Hello Community!
I own a Galaxy Note 10 since last year. Of course it's getting slower and slower and I've reached a point where I really want to try some custom ROM's.
The problem is the following:
I used SNote pretty extensively and so I pretty much would like to keep it. But I also know that Samsung Apps are not only memory hogging but also not all are very useful. So is there a possibility to get a stock ROM with only SNote on it? What is (in your opinion) the best and most stable ROM?
Thanks in advance!
Fabian
Just remove the Samsung apps to save space and ram on the stock rom
U need root to do that via Root Explorer app
I have the device rooted, so now I'm just looking for a way to improve the performance and debloat it if possible. For now I'd rather not install any TW ROMS (I've already tried and it's not working. Example)
Thanks in advance!

Hi everybody,
Seems like I posted in the wrong topic (General forum), so I post my question here
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/sho....php?t=1657056 - by Weltwon) work with 4.1.2 android version?
I have an other question: Is the root enough to remove the Samsung touchwizz layer? If yes, how to do it?
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?
Before you do any of this, check if your emmc is faulty or not by using a brickbug checker app from the play store.
(Requires root) f you want to stay on stock rom but its becoming laggy, trimming the storage would reduce lags. This is because native trim support didnt come until 4.3.
But if you want to move to the latest version of android, most roms posted under the unified section are stable except 7.1 which is still experimetal
--Rooting the tab--
You can use cf autoroot by chainfire but it requires a usb cable, a pc, and odin. Tutorials about this can be found on google. Just make sure you use the right package for our model.
You can also use one touch root apps such as kingroot or kingoroot but they contain bloatware.
And lastly, you can flash a custom recovery such as TWRP using odin and flash supersu from there.
Hope this helps
Thanks you Lightracer!
Do you have an emmc chercher app to advice?
I'm going to read a bit more about rooting ans flashing ROM.
I do not really care about running Samsung Stock ROM or not. My though was to run an Android Stock ROM, without any "layer" (touchwizz, ...), And if possible, the most up to date version.
Is it necessary to enable TRIM if I flash a Android Marshmallow or Nougat ROM ?

Just check "Emmc brickbug check" in the play store.
If you want the stockiest rom, check out the unlegacy project in the unified section. Its AOSP 4.4/5.1 /6.0/7.1 roms.
TRIM is enabled in most kernels. But if you have the emmc brickbug, it might kill your tab X(
Good luck! Also press thanks if I helped ^_^
