Sorry for this noobish question, I've really only had an Incredible, a Rezound, and a B&N Nook Color, so this kind of fracture within a device was quite a surprise, and really made me a bit paranoid in making sure I had the right instructions for my device, the right recovery, and a ROM that would support my features (like the IR). Maybe this is more common than I'm aware of (like the GSM version of the Rezound, of which there's like 2 threads in the entire Rezound forum for, unlike the major fracturing here).
As someone who just bought this device on Boxing Day, I had no idea there was a P3100, P3110, P3113, SCH-i705... and apparently other models, until I came looking for a Jelly Bean update.
It would have been a lot easier for me to find that out, and get root instructions, a recovery, kernel, ROM, etc for my device had the dev forums been broken out accordingly. It's got to be harder on devs too making ROMs that work only for 3110, for instance, and people claiming bugs with the ROM when they have a different device.
So, I'm a bit curious since the kernels don't appear to work across models and they have different features, how come the forums aren't broken out? Was this a conscious decision? (Like assumptions that a single kernel would support all 4+ models?)
Good to see you over here as well quantum rabbit. I have seen you around the rezound forums, and the nook forums. I had the same problems as you when I first came here a week or two ago. Apparently, the only difference between all of these tab 2s is minor hardware. The p3100=cell radio, p3110=WiFi international, and the p3113=U.S. version. The p3110 is almost identical to the p3113 version, and most ROMs, and kernels work between the two.(at least that is my understanding) There are a couple of threads about this here already, and you are not alone in your thinking. If you need anything, give me a shout, we have been in the same forums since I got my Dinc. If you upgrade to the UK version of the JB ota, and then root, and install clockworkmod, you can maintain the it blaster, or jump into cm10.1. Any who, it is good to see you here:thumbup:

Good to see you, too. I also noticed Scott is here for the SCH device (Verizon LTE one) and recognized him from the Rez.
I did find the difference thread earlier... thank god for acefsw here: [Q] Differences between models. So I get that the 3110 vs the 3113 is nearly identical, but apparently the p3100 and the SCHi705 are different from the 3113 enough such that all the kernels I find appear to be for the 4G enabled tabs (SCH models), like DoubleShot, Decaf, Scott's etc. (I also see CM9 and 10 kernels). For all I know, they'd work on my device, or they'd work but I'd lose features. I am unsure, yet.
On the Inc, there were single kernels that worked across Froyo, GB, and ICS... on the Rezound, seems like each android version and CM of each android version all have different kernels. Here, unless I'm misunderstanding it appears to be like the Rezound, only that there are also 2 or 3 or 4 hardware variants I may have to worry about to. Which really complicates the situation.
Here's how I see it.
All the P3xxx tabs are nearly identical.
The SCH-I705 is COMPLETELY different from the rest. The I705 is closest relative is the SCH-I535 (VZW GS3). If you or anyone else flashes a I705 kernel/rom/etc on a P3xxx, it will brick. Mount points are completely different, hardware is completely different. Why it's still mixed together with the P3xxx tabs is still a wonder. Though, there aren't many people with the I705 except for a couple of us.

So seems like for Recoveries in particular, the SCH to P31XX is a definitive no go... that helps. Does that mean the 3100, 3110, and 3113 can all use the same recoveries at least, and maybe kernels and such?
I don't plan to play around too much, for now I'm on CWM 6.0.2.3 (May try for TWRP later) and kwbr Espresso, which I saw numerous posts of people on 3113 and how it works great including IR Blaster.
How is everyone doing? I've read somewhere that the Verizon Galaxy Tab 2 is just an Verizon S3 with a crappy screen (lol). I've also read that they share the same partition layout. That being the case, what is the difficulty in forking the Verizon S3 git repository to get started on a CM rom? I'm looking at getting into developing and I will try to test this concept out on my device (when it gets here) but I was just wondering if anyone else has tried this approach.
Hey guys, I know it hasn't shipped out yet but I am thinking about getting the Samsung Galaxy s4 on Verizon and am wondering if anyone knows whether or not there will be an AOSP ROM for it. I currently have the Galaxy Nexus, and before that i had the first Droid so Touchwiz scares me! I have read a lot about there being so many different versions that the custom ROMs for this device might be lacking and now with the pure android version being released by Google it makes me even more worried that the Verizon folks are going to get left out of the pure Android experience on the Galaxy S4 - if that is the case I might have to pony up for the Note 2.
Even if its speculation I would love to hear your thoughts and I apologize if this has been addressed (I searched, I swear) or if I'm putting this in the wrong section
Hi
I am wondering if i have a phone that is so new that there is no mention if it here. I was trying to find out how to root it and was given a program that works with all kinds of phones, it worked but I still don't know of it is different than the s4 sgh-i337. the reason I wanted to root the phone is that I want to create a hot spot which I can't do. I guess if you just tell me how to make this phone into a hot spot that would work but I really want to know what forums I need to use to do things with this phone. It is a new phone for smart talk (AT&T).
Thanks
Hi,
I've seen that you've posted in the S4 forums already. And that would be a good place. Yes, you have an obscure model and no... It's not the same as a the others.... And flashing anything not specifically made your model could destroy your device.
But for asking questions... You already "found your way".... . ?
Good luck. ?
I am a mildly disappointed owner of an AT&T SGH I-497.... SERIOUSLY looking at changing it up and want a SAMSUNG 10 inch tablet I can customize without issue and that has GOOD development....... Which model does everyone recommend? Thanks in advance.... thinking of learning development on my 10.1 since the file system appears broken....

Go away from the carrier locked down versions and go with a wifi only tab. They have unlocked bootloaders and you can run custom roms on them without issue. As far as which ones I'd look around, the Galaxy Tab S series looks good but you may want to look around the forums here for what's the better option for development
