Hi everyone I'm new here and I am thinking about rooting my phone. Any suggestions as to if I should and possibly what rom I should use? This is my everyday phone so I want to be sure it's a good idea before I go ahead with it. Please, suggestions, pros and cons. Thanks

What system version are you on, is your bootloader unlocked? This will help to determine what method you need to root.

I would like to start helping with development. I'm getting pretty good with messing around with android. I work for T-Mobile and I've had android since the G1.
I'd like to start contributing to the family.
So my question is pretty open. Where should I start for learning about android development? Any advice and help would be appreciated.

Perhaps I should ask in a general forum. Maybe this isn't the correct place to ask.

What would I need to do if I was to trade this sgs4g for a LG g2x? Trading with a friend not at the store.would we just swap sim cards or what? Reason I'm asking is cause u said u work 4 T-Mobile. Just want to know what I would need to do to put it on my plan and give him mine. Any help is appreciated.

You can swap Sims. That's all you need to do. However the warranty will be under him still. If you have insurance, it will cover the G2x. But you wont have the warranty.

@stevekixs, I am with you... I'm looking to help anyone who is currently on this path. I keep reading how we need more devs for the SGS4G. If you find a project which is needing help, let me know, please.

I know, some have tried the other roms for the other variants. but only wound up messing up their own tab. And the restore tab is for AT&T international version and even though it does work, it isn't all in English. The closest one is for Tmobile, but TMO doesn't have LTE, so you could kiss it goodbye. Probably why not many have tried it. It's a shame that the Dev's don't want to own one, I have dumped my rom also did a CWM backup of my tab. But since there is no one to work on getting us a JB rom, we have to wait for the update from AT&T, if they ever do it.
I'm sure at&t won't release anything soon

Regrettably I have to agree with you. Either way, this GT2 is 100% better than the Jetstream....
any roms yet for sgh-i497
Quick question..I have searched high and low for custom roms for my sgh-i497. Are we still waiting?
Thanks for the replies

I would also like to know this answer... I'm just starting my research on Rooting and installing a Custom ROM on my device.
I've found a few other sites that give you ROM's....
http://tips4droid.com/top-best-custom-rom-samsung-galaxy-tab-2-10-1/
http://www.thegalaxytabforum.com/index.php?/topic/16585-custom-rom-for-att-i497-p5113-solved/ Not sure if this is an Original ROM or not.

http://nasirtech.blogspot.com/2013/12/vlamj2-412-jb-official-rom-att-galaxy-tab2-10-1-sgh-i497.html
But I didn't know anything about what they were talking about in the above replies...I hope there are some ROM's as this Tab is constantly Freezing and slowing down... I hardly have anything on it and constantly keep clearing the Cache in the Recover Boot area... I was hoping a Root with a custom ROM would help me out.....
Anything new?
Figure this is so old that if nobody has done one by now, it never going to happen.
I don't think there's a custom rom for your device...
This is a decent tablet and could be much better!! Can someone please be all the i497 owners hero and give us a rom!! If I can help or test or anything I'm willing! Is there a specific reason no one wants to develop for this tablet? Any help or answers would be greatly appreciated, thanks!! :banghead:

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I497 using xda premium
I dont think there is a "issue" just no serious developers have obtained this tablet. I think in the tablet game most developers don't go for carrier ones.. I'm still setting up my PC but I'm going to try and get at least a stock deodexed ROM going tonight or tomorrow. What's the latest firmware for the i497.. I see a firmware for an Am2 having a hard time finding a place to download the latest firmware from?
