[Q] CyanogenMod 10.1 to 11 - Wipe everything? - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I'm the owner of a Galaxy S Plus and today I was aware that there is a Kit-Kat version out in a Alpha version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542902
My only question is, even though that is stated that "Upgrades from previous versions of CM11.0 are the same process as install, except you do not need to wipe anything. " I was wondering if the same applies for upgrades from CM 10.1 which is what I have at the moment.
Thank you!

check the second post.
If you are on the stock ROM, you would have to flash a custom recovery first. After that you can directly flash CM10.1, no need for any intermediate steps

Question about Roms, Android Versions, and my GT-N8013

Okay, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013. I have rooted the tablet successfully and installed Omnirom on it, except Omnirom cam with Android 4.4.4 when my device's stock version is Android 4.1.2. After downloading Omnirom I would like to switch to Paranoid Android so I can access the pie feature on my tablet instead of the omnibox.
However, being very new at this, could I use a Paranoid Android Tablet Rom based on Android 4.4.4 instead of the standard 4.1.2? I don't want to go back to 4.1.2, it wasn't fun. I would like to keep Android 4.4.4 and have the updated version of Paranoid Android for my Galaxy Note 10.1 Is this possible?

your question seems odd for some reason im not understanding i guess.
so, you flashed a 4.4.4 rom onto your device and you want to know if you can flash another 4.4.4 rom onto your device that is made for your device correct?
if that is accurate^^, then yes, you can just flash the new rom.
the only possible problem i could see is, if there is an official update to kitkat for your device? if no then there will be no issue.
if there is an official kk for your device, say so and i will elaborate on the possible issues.

Hi Xobus,
The banseband is completely apart of rom mechanism. So basically you can flash any rom. As they mention NE4 modem/bootloader and you have later one, yes you can flash it.
And I strongly suggest you to make some backups before in case you need to rollback.
Thank you for your reply
thats good to know.
i really dont want to wind up softbricking my phone or worse.
and yes i learned from my older android flashing adventures to always make a backup.
(actually i have that backup saved to my pc just incase)
i have used cyanogenmod in the past and i just prefer it;
so anyway now that i know that i'll flash to cm12.

Recommended rom for galaxy tab 4 10.1

Hello,
Is there any recommended rom for galaxy tab 4 10.1?
...and is there any noobie guide out there about how to install a rom?
I was watching this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/rom-android-5-0-lollipop-material-t3061873
It's not much details about how installing it.
Any tips?
Thanks.

That's for a different tablet (7 inch) you cannot install it on yours.
There are Cyanogenmod 11 (Kit Kat), Cyanogenmod 12 (Lollipop), Pac Man Lollipop, as well as some stock based roms. They can all be found in the development section. You can find your tablet model number (important for sorting through roms) in settings > about tablet (if you have the 10.1 your model number should be SM-T53X where the X could be a couple different numbers). Installing custom roms usually involves the following steps, in custom recovery: make a nandroid backup, wipe/factory reset, install rom file (which should already be downloaded and saved to your device), install anything else like gapps or supersu. Easy

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

Hi everybody,
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/showthread.php?t=1657056 - by Weltwon) work with 4.1.2 android version?
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?
Lineage OS 13.0
You could get a Lineage OS 13.0 nightly, and from my experience those are fairly stable.

For starters if you want to get rid of TouchWiz you can remove all of the bloatware and Samsung apps (like TouchWiz home, AccuWeather widget, Samsung Apps, Group play).
But I recommend just install custom ROM. Maybe cm11 or cm12.. I am using Dhollmen 4.4.4 on my tab for 1 years and it is working very well for me.
Thank you for your advices,
@tasnim_tamim: I dont know Dohllmen. Is it à cyanogenmod Android version? Which tab do you run under this ROM?
@orionboughton: are nightly versions if lineageOS stable? I have heard that these are update vert often, and some Android functionality can be disabled
Its a ROM based of SlimROM.. I am running it on my galaxy tab 2 7.0 p3100
Lineage OS 13.0
Lineage OS is basically an updated version of Cyanogenmod, so i guess that's what it's based off of.
I've been running a nightly of Lineage OS from their website at https://download.lineageos.org/espressowifi , and it's really smooth compared to touchwiz and the ram is managed much better. The camera works, the gyroscope works, and I've only had one or two problems (like root not being enabled out of the box, and needing to flash a supersu zip to get that running), and besides that it's all good. If you have a problem, rebooting usually fixes it and I've rarely had to do that in the past few weeks I've been running it.
Another plus is it runs android 6.0, which seems to be better in every way. Great standby time, 4h or more screen on time, etc.
However if you do decide to get it, make sure to flash with the latest version of twrp, and if not you might softbrick your device.
