I'm wanting to flash a custom rom but I don't know exactly how to do it, if some one could answer some of my questions that would be very helpful. First does cyanogenmod or any other rom have the old 4.1 softkey and notification menu layout instead of the new 4.2 layout with the keys in the middle? Also how do i flash a custom rom? Right now I'm rooted using the motochopper root method, so do I just need to unlock my bootloader and flash a custom recovery like TWRP, or do I need to unroot my tablet first? Which version of TWRP should I flash 2.5 and Does that work on the latest update for 4.2? After i flash TWRP where can i find a version of cyanogenmod that works on the tf300 build# 6.1.15.3? And last question does the keyboard dock work with the cyanogenmod? If you could answer any of my questions that would be great. Thanks!
no one is replying to this because these are ALL questions that can easily answered if you bothered to search around a bit. just cause your too lazy to read around a bit doesn't mean that someone else should do it for you. So go and answer these questions yourself

Thanks.

Or just unroot, one of the first few posts on the Dev forum. This one worked for me.
So, since I'm already a seasoned reader of the forums and a member of the Samsung Galaxy Ace forums right here in XDA, I bought myself a SGT2 7.0: it's great. Mine's the P3110 (Wifi only) and it came with 4.0.3. Now, I'd like to root it and mod it as I see fit but I don't see much information on the current status of things. I dug around the CM Forums and there's no SGT2 7.0 dedicated forums over there. Here I see guides on rooting and the like, but no one talks about the stable releases and/or nightlies of CM9 and CM10. So, to sum it up, here are my questions:
Is it safe to root and mod the SGT2 to CM9?
Where's the buglist of the latest stable release of CM9 for the SGT2?
Can you see a better battery life on CM9 compared with stock?
Should I download the latest OTA on my SGT2?
Now, I wouldn't have asked these questions if I see them answered here or any other forums, so that's that. Thanks in advance for any information you might offer.
As a seasoned reader, you created a question thread in general?

Yes, it is. You can root using CF-Auto-Root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957160) or other methods that can be found in the same section. I think CF-Auto-Root is the simplest of all. Note that you don't need to root your tab if you intend to flash CM9 (or CM10 which is also available), just follow the instructions in the dedicated thread.

There's basically none, except the official keyboard dock is not working (although it works in AOKP). You're not concerned by IR-Blaster issue since you have a p3110.

I'd say the battery life is similar. Do not expect anything battery-wise. However, you'll be able to notice improvements in performance.

If you intend to stay with stock firmware, yes. The 4.0.4 is much more fluid than 4.0.3, and p3110 has also an official 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean) update.
The only drawback of JB (in stock and CM10) is the loss of the Tablet UI, replaced by Phablet UI. However, you can restore Tablet UI on CM10 by using a patch, or natively in AOKP or Paranoid Android. I greatly encourage you to go through a few threads in the development section, to get a better sense of all of this. Do not hesitate though if you feel lost or puzzled.
Thank you very much for your fast responses. Yeah, @PeartFan40, I guess I embarrased myself, haha!
@Einril, it's not that I don't like stock, it's just the bloatware that Samsung installs that makes me go all kinds of green but I'd like to keep my options open if something ever happens to my tablet I can use my guarantee, you know? I read about the Triangle Away app, so I'm good in that area, but just a tiny question: is it mandatory to have it or can I live with that triangle? Also, could I install the official stock firmware later down the road if I'd like? Right now I'm downloading the latest update for my tablet so I can save an image with CWM for safekeeping.
And just for kicks, what's new in CM9 for tablets? I'll google myself what's Phablet UI, don't worry
Thanks again!
What Triangle Away does is that it resets your custom binary counter, which is incremented each time you flash a custom recovery. Flashing a custom recovery on the Galaxy Tab 2 won't show up a triangle at boot, so you can live without using Triangle Away. However, it is necessary to reset it before sending the tab for guarantee.
You can always flash official ROMs via Odin. You can look at http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-P3110&pcode=0&os=1&type=3 to find the latest firmware for your country.
What's new in CM9 ? Compared to stock? Basically a lot of customization tools, performance tools, and a more "pure-Google" experience. But it's quite complicated to list all the differences. The best way is to try it yourself

I already installed CM9. It was complicated at first because I had some trouble with ODIN (it seems the button Auto-reset shouldn't be marked) when I installed the CWMRecovery. Now I've downloaded ROM Manager and I'm thinking if I should install the Recovery the app offers. What do you think?
I also was tinkering with the system options and the kernel doesn't have a lot of governors. Any tips on the matter?

original htc one mini 4.4.2 RUU
I was looking for the original AT&T RUU to update my phone back to stock and yesterday i found it. I was able to upgrade from the version 2 of your ROM to the one from AT&T without any problems
I cannot post links because i am new, but i can post the filename for the file
RUU_M4_UL_K44_SENSE60_MR_Cingular_US_4.13.502.3_Radio_1.29.40g.00.19_10.32.40.1115L_release_385202_signed_with_hboot.exe
That is located on the htc site us/support/htc-one-mini-att/news/ on the very bottom of the page. the filesize is 1.12GB
enjoy !
I am trying to figure out how to install tmobile WiFi calling on this stock Rom. I know it has to be baked into the Rom during installation but need help on how to do that. Thanks
portable to the 601
im not sure the right place to put this but is this portable to the htc 601?
Quick question since I'm not that experienced in updating Sense roms: can I update from 4.09.401.3 (I think it was V2 of this?) without wiping?
Kernel
Hello.
Is there any way that i can flash just this kernel instead of the whole ROM, because i just need unsecured kernel to get s-off, and then i'm restoring stock rom and kernel? Thank you.

Hi, I'm french so sorry if I make mistakes in spellings
My htc one mini repaired by the After sell official htc services, so I received the last software update, but from my operator.
In France, i have Sense 6
So I have in the notification bar "Orange F" the name of my operator, and it takes up all the space, so to remove the overlay operator I would like to take this rom, but first I have some questions
I logically should not change the firmware? (i have Hboot 2.22)
I have 4.15.73.2 logiciel number, and here it's 4.14 my phone is likely to brick if I flash this rom no ?
And finally, I am not in Supercid or S-OFF, I see in my bootloader "Tampered" and "Unlocked" but I do not see any "S-ON" or "S-OFF," I need so the S-OFF or Supercid?
xXminiWHOOPERxX, I wanted to thank you for making this ROM. It works great!

Hello everyone,
I'm here today to SEEK HELP. I have bought a variant of Wiko Slide 2 aka Cloudfone Excite Prime here in the Philippines. I wanted to make my personal back for this device that is flashable via SPFlashTool. Or make ".img" files for short. I already know how to that on my previous devices but that was KK having 3.4.6 kernel. This is my first LOLLIPOP device that is why I needed some advice and help.
My questions are:
1. How will I know if my bootloader is locked?
2. Is it necissary to unlocK the bootloader so that I could make full back up?
3. Can I directly back up this via MTKDroidTools(the most convenient back up method I ever tried for MTK)? Since it is using different kernel.
4. How do I make custom recovery or CWM for Lollipop(kernel 3.10.x) based?
That would be all for now. Please help me I really don't know stuffs for Android L since it is different from older versions. Thank you :good:
