[Q] Rooting Tab 2 7 (P3110) to remove laggy performance!

Hi guys,
I need help!
I have a tab 2 7.0 P3110, on Android 4.2.2, and it is soooo laggy!
I have taken out all widgets, and uninstalled a lot of apps, but still it is very slow.
Will rooting it help? If so, can someone point me to the instructions to root it, and also which one would be best for me (mostly browsing, reading emails and using some of the widgets. No gaming or anything like that)?
Hoping to turn around my tablet and get a few more years out of it. At the moment, it is almost unusable with the laggy performance.
Thanks!!

Root the device is just getting the administrator permissions only.
However you can flash the new 3rd parties rom like CM11 (which you need the newest CWM recovory)
Or install some apps like greenfiy / auto memory manger from Google Play store.
These should be helpful to your tab to reduce the laggy.
You may also Google these to know more about rooting
Hope these help for you.

Thanks!
I am using greenify and memory management, but it is still not smooth. I feel it us samsung's bloat were which is mainly to blame. Which ROM would be best, as close as possible to the native android image, or perhaps better? Any links for installation would be very appreciated.

We can't tell you which ROM is best for you. Best way is try a few yourself as amny as you can and settle for one which you like the most. I would suggest you to check Samsung Tab 2 Android Development Forum. All Roms are listed there and installation instructions are included in first/second post of each ROM Thread.
I am using SlimKat Rom for last one and half years in my Tab 2. its stable version 8.0 now.

Cogbytes, have you ever tried CM rom (Whatever which version)?
I would like compare the performance between slimkat and CM.

Main difference in CM and SlimKat is features only. Performance is almost same unless you use different kernel (other than stock). I used CM for a few months too. SlimKat interface and tweaks are a bit more satisfactory than CM, but its my opinion only. Its worth to try to SlimKat stable version atleast once.

Good but an issue
First of all i want to thank you for this rom. However, have you had an issue with the multitasking button? Mine doesnt work. I can press it but nothing happens except a blank screen. Any fix?

Hello, would you solve IR Blaster issue ? I use your rom for a week now and I find it fantastic, except that I have to get up my bed to turn of TV ?
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

still waiting for new version of CM 11 for n8000

No Mobile internet
I have installed cm-11-20141031-UNOFFICIAL-n8000.zip but it seems there is no mobile internet. I can only connect over internet via Wi-Fi.
Is this correct, or am I doing something wrong?

Unofficial Rom Question
Hi,
Im currently running CM10.2 as an official rom on N8010. If I flash this, would i still be able to keep getting nightly and snapshot downloads from Cyanogenmod or any latest updates from your builds in cmupdater? Instead of manually flashing for each new update.
Thanks

No. Official support for our devices ended at 10.2

S-pen?
Hi everyone,
I need to know how well the S-Pen works with this (or any other custom) ROM.
I use my 8010 extensively, as a note taking device. In my work, I rely on the s-pen heavily. I do all my research work on an app called Lecture Notes and rely on Dropsync app to upload my work to dropbox. I would like to install a custom rom that is cleaner and faster than the original, but s-pen functionality is a make-or-break issue for me. I would appreciate any feedback on this.
Thank you all.

Let me start off by saying that I have yet to find a custom ROM for our device that does NOT have s-pen support. OmniROM, CarbonROM, CM11, all have the s-pen working great, and in apps like Papyrus, or any app that uses the pen specifically, I think an AOSP based ROM is far more responsive than any of the variations of Stock Touchwiz ROM's out there. The only features you will not see on an AOSP based ROM is Air Command, S-Note, or that stupid blue circle cursor that follows the pen hover. Although there are solutions for most of these available in Play Store.
I suggest you take the red pill, and find out just how deep the rabbit hole goes.

wifi not working
wifi is not working with my n8000, it couldn't be connected to the wifi router or a hotspot that shared by Nexus 7
but the hspa+ was working.
why ?
baseband N8000ZCCMH1
rom 20141031

Microphone in a wired hands free
It is peculiar that after the most recent update, my wired hands free stopped working. The headphones work, the button works, but the microphone is silent. I have tried to use a solution from a separate thread - changing gt-n8000 file in /system/etc/sound but it did not help. Don&t you know if it is possible to solve the problem?

IR Blaster Disabled
Love the ROM.
When I updated from stock Android 4.1 to this ROM, I lost functionality of the IR Blaster.
Would love to be able to use my remote apps.
Thanks!

I have a N8010.
But when I try to install the ROM, CWM tells me that my device is p4noterf (N8000).

rom weird issues
Hi, 1st post here =D
I tried to flash this rom to my 8010 with both cmw and twrp and both times it gave me a message that said that my device was n8000. It actually isn't. Anyway since I really wanted to have cm11 on my tablet i flashed the n8000 rom and it worked. The only issues that I found is that the menu button doesn't on work on home screen when using nova launcher, that a process called cell standby is hogging the battery and that I cant unmount the SD card.
Now this is the 3rd device that I root and install cm11 and its the 1st time I've had these issues. If anyone could shed some light and maybe advice I would appreciate it very much.

I had the same issue and I managed to flash the N8000 rom and it works. I just have a problem with the menu button when using nova launcher.

android boot loop?
This mod may not be for my tablet, so I am seeking confirmation.
tablet is GT-N8013 (I assume it is a wifi model, bought it used on ebay. It is not connected through any wireless service)
using CWM v6.0.3.6
android version 4.1.2
I did a factory reset, wiped dalvik and cache.
I had to edit the file as per the FAQ to get the mod to load. When it rebooted it would just 'hang' at the android scroll (hope that makes sense).
Maybe this ROM is not for my tablet? I have used Cynogen on many other devices and like the build.
I was hoping to get this running on my tablet.
Any assistance or confirmation that it is not compatible is greatly appreciated.

[Q] Custom ROM Suggestions?

I have the 2012 version (N8013) stock ROM, current Android (4.1.2). Non-rooted.
I just bought an Amazon Fire Stick which supports Miracast. Sadly, 4.1.2 does not. So, I'm looking for a custom ROM that (in order of importance):
Supports Miracast
Is highly stable
Has performance improvements
Has new, cool features/functionality
Is reasonably customizable
Really, only the first 2 are critical. The remaining 3 are just nice to haves.
I did do some searching but could not tell which ones supported Miracast.
I know ROMs are highly personal, so it's hard to make a recommendation, but if you could maybe offer some suggestions for me to consider, based on the above, it would be highly appreciated.
(I did install a custom ROM on my Galaxy S2 a while back, so I'm not completely new at it, but it's been a while and I only did the one, so I'm only slightly above a noob on this.)
Thanks for your help!

K,
hi, you might want to consider a custom rom which stays with stock standards. In that case go for gnabo just skip the bootloader
portion.
That's what i did for my n8013 and gnabo did fine.
 @nerdyblonde ' beanstalk rom runs well bit i don't know about m-cast as i don't use it. the rom is not supported anymore
by way of updates but i run it as my daily driver and will for some time. bluetooth and wifi direct seem to function well
though i use additional apps for that. i''ve neveer tested the ir blaster so.. [shrug] dunno :silly:
don't forget to make a backup !

What does it mean when a ROM sticks with stock standards? And, what does a bootloader do (and why can I skip it)?
Thanks again!

hi,
i just mean gnabo is basically a custom stock rom.
so hardware issues will be minimal if not null.
skip the bootloader.

Galaxy tab 2 10.1 P5110 - Latest stable Android based OS?

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!
Matthieu
------------------
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 ^_^

Cyanogen Android version 4.3.1

Hi All,
Apologies I know this is a old device and trust me I have scoured the web before I ask for for this.
Does anyone have Gapps etc for Cyanogen Android version 4.3.1 for this o/s?
I know it's old and no longer supported, but I have just been handed this Samsung Galaxy tab 2 EPRESSO10RF and wanted to try and get some life out of it.
Cyanogen Android version 4.3.1 - seems to run pretty well on this device, hence why I wanted to pursue getting play store on this.
Thank you in advance.

You should go to the "Unified development" thread as you have many up to date and fully working roms from Marshmallow to Oreo.

If you want to use Jellybean then sure. There is a russian forum called 4pda i remeber there still being an alive link for jb gapps. Will check and update. But i would recommend something like a marshmellow rom without gapps. Gapps have become quite a lag machine on these older devices since 2012. I only see them viable on kitkat.
