Hi folks,
Thanks to info here at XDA I've got my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 running KitKat via Omnirom (using Android-Andi unofficial version omni-4.4.2-20140514-p5110-HOMEMADE.zip).
This seems to have cleared up the problems I had with the stock ROM (which had auto updated several times over the last year from 4.04), where the system would reboot and I'd get all kinds of force close errors all the time. This was a real problem because the main use for this particular Tab2 is that my 6 year old plays games on it.
Anyway, with Kit Kat running on it, it's smooth as butter and very stable. But the new Lego Invasion game (one of his favorites) refuses to play... it loads fine, and you can poke around in the menus and stuff, but right when the action should start, it goes back to the home screen. Not sure why the game closes like that. Once it even rebooted the tab. I've tried reinstalling the game, clearing it's app cache, etc..
Everything else is nice and smooth on the system... is there any troubleshooting I can do to figure out how to get this one app to play properly? Any optimization of settings on the tab I should do to try things? I'm a bit out of my depth.
Eventually I'll be wiping the tab again and reinstalling KK again because the specific version I used has the hardware keyboard on by default (so, I have to go and turn that off after each reboot). I'm just looking for less invasive things to try meanwhile.
Thanks!
Marc
After a few cycles of uninstall (of the Lego App) and reinstallation, it seems to be working now. I don't have a good explanation as to why, but at least it seems to have solved the problem, at least for now.

I have had my Viewsonic GTab for about 4 days now, and have probably wiped and reinstalled a half dozen mods trying to get a fully functioning Android Market. The closest I have come has been able to come only has gotten me the Market icon. But it opens a white screen which rapidly closes itself. I installed Cyanogenmod7 back to back with gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
After installing GApps the whole system becomes extremely buggy in general, including the home button not working. I am not concerned with that though.
I have tried many walk throughs but the vast majority of them are related to the less broken Market that you can at least semi-access.
I scoured through this and other sites looking for guidance before resorting to posting, so I hope I didn't overlook a thread that was related to this exact problem.

Im having the exact same problem. Gmarket not force closing and homebutton not working within cyanogen
Anyone find the solution? I have had may Gtablet for months working great until yesterday. I am running CM7 daily release 5/24/11 and everything was working fine, added netflix mod to build.prop and ran it for a about a week no issues but now market opens then closes. Any help?

You have some incredible timing buddy. After weeks of my gtab just sitting in my bag, today I decided to pop Gingerbread on it w/ a fully operational Market and it's running smoother than I have ever seen it. But, I did run into a skirmish with Netflix (MOD 2) that semibricked it for a half hour. Wound up playing many back to back games of beat the clock as it would reboot after making it to the home screen for a few seconds before I was able to make it to the app manager fast enough to uninstall it. I know there were probably simpler ways to go about it, but I'm running on only a few hours of sleep.
exhibit II with Peach Sunrise 2.04 ROM
I have been rolling peach for about two weeks. Upon reboot I get “the application google services framework (process com.google.process.gapps)has stopped unexpectedly… then all other apps google related force close. Dolphin and opera browsers force close as well. How can I fix this?
Try clearing Google Play Store app data as well as Google Framework Services in: settings>applications>manage applications>(find both and select "clear data"), see if that helps things...

it happened to me the gapps was FC every sec... i solved the problem installing the gapps again with CWM... remember to chose the right gapps file.... it happens to me while i was trying to change DPI screen size with LCD Density on JB, the market fix crashed gapps and they were FC every sec as i said... maybe installing new gapps over CWM can help you : D

Yeah, I'd say try a new Gapps package file and flash in CWM, also might not hurt to select the "fix permissions" option under advanced in CWM as well...

Exhibit + Peach Sunrise + Go Launcher = eventually many apps Force Close => Repeat ag
I've searched the forums and can't find a solution that fits my problem.
I bought a Galaxy Exhibit II with Monthly4G - love the form factor, accessible battery, expendibility (compared to big $$$ phones).
TMO default load was very unsatisfactory.
I flashed it to Peach Sunrise 2.04, ran V6 supercharger and the phone became what it should be - a good performer.
I also loaded go launcher.
I thought it was stable and just installed apps, updates, etc as I wished (you know like I did on the iPod for 6 months before committing to the android platform.)
For the second time the phone just melted down - starts getting all kinds of random Force Closes - reboots don't help.
I also tried clearing all cache and davlik, uninstalling google play updates.
However, the problem is also affecting some core services and almost any app I start on demand - including backup apps!
I had recently installed some updates and three wifi teathering apps (to make teathering easier). On one of the reboots go launcher went through it's setup several times (I know there was an update recently).
I am really enjoying the android platform and this inexpensive phone - but I really don't want to be reflashing it every 4 weeks.
Here are my questions:
Q1) Does anyone recognize my combination of software or a specific software as causing general instability (Peach Sunrise + Go launcher OR Wifi Tether utils that require root)
Q2) Is there a way to trace what causes the instability? (In my day job I use detailed tracing utilities on Windows to find problems with Apps / OS). I found catlog - but didn't have it installed and can't get it installed now.
Q3) Could I be getting hit from a virus or hacking? (I am running "Lookout" antivirus)
Q4) Does anyone else have this challenge of persistent reflashes required?
I'm not expecting to be hand held here - but when I search "Force close" with any combination I get a lot of information that ends with the solution of reflashing. If that is the only solution I can't be reflashing every month.
Thanks for any help.
I have this problem. So far, I can only find a temporary fix. Flashing anything or clearing cache or dalvik cache in Recovery mode temporarily fixes this problem.
I only get this problem when I'm using Instagram though. I don't know why.
I have this problem on my samsung exibihit 2 4g after flashing it back to stock because of the problem with sending texts while on data. And now none of my apps are working. i had to switch phones because i cant ecen text on it now. If anyone has a fix gor it please message me your suggestions. Thank you
This seems to be Talk crashing. I get the same FC message. I have to login manually to get Talk online again. Anyone else notice that
Question:
I have had ARHD 3.6 for a few weeks now. I did a complete factory reset before switching to it.. ARHD is a great rom, and thanks and kudos to all the people who have helped bring it to fruition.
But, here's the issue: For at least a week now, my tablet is running terribly. Constantly lagging or 5-10 seconds any time I ever make a move- closing/opening an app, going into settings, even moving from one homescreen window to the next. And typically I'll have to restart it, after freezing completely, 1-2 times a day on average.
Also, nearly every web browser is constantly lagging, or even freezing or force closing, with chrome being almost unuseable. Almost every single time I open up gmail app, it will work for 10-15 seconds before the tablet just straight up freezes and I have to restart it.
I was using the stock ARHD kernel at first, but I switched over to Harmony kernel a few days ago... no improvement.
Are there any suggestions for how to improve this, or any suggestions for a different rom to switch to?
I have a lot of free space on my tablet, I don't have many apps running in the background, and i've already tried wiping the cache in CW Recovery.This is seriously driving me crazy.
Thanks much for the help! And thanks to those who work on all of these roms.

I have had similar issues with my Transformer in the past. Then, I discovered the hard way (after deleting everything... I mean everything) that going back to stock, rooting again, and then flashing Team EOS that my Transformer became better than new. You may not want to go back to stock again, which is ok, so I would recommend the usual wipes and then flash Team EOS ROM and the Kat Kernel. I have found that Apex, Nova, or even Next Launcher to make a difference as well.
just a question about your latency: do you have it with power cable connected only or every times ?

I agree with the suggestion for Team EOS 4, I feel like my tab performs better than when I bought it two years ago.
For the past few months now my wife's Tab 2 has been misbehaving, it is consistently crashing with certain apps (mainstream ones, not random junk) most noticeably the stock browser (making that unusable) - the browser starts and displays the menu and tab bar, but does not display any webpage or url and then will crash within 5 seconds without doing anything, thus returning to the home screen. Similar behaviour is seen when using the Google search widget, I type in a word, press the magnifying glass to search it pauses a long time then closes and goes back to the home screen.
Lots of apps work absolutely fine but about 30% don't, and it is pretty consistent if the work they always work, if they don't work they usually crash at the same point. I did wonder if it was a certain function or driver that triggers the crash or possibly more likely there is a hardware failure.
The tablet is completely stock and up to date. I have tried doing a factory reset and restored everything, that didn't work. I tried a factory reset and restored nothing (setting up no accounts not even a Google one and installed nothing) but still I get the same behaviour. I have tried wiping the cache partition as recommended on many websites (http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-8015). I have also tried running the Internet in Safe Mode, all with the same result of the app closing and going back to the home screen.
Does anyone have any suggestions or even something different to try?
(Ideally I didn't want to root it or use a custom ROM, but I may have to try this if nothing else can be suggested, I have my doubts whether this would fix it.)
I reported this issue to Samsung 21 days out of warranty and they want me to send it to the repair centre to get a quote whilst re-iterating that it was out of warranty.
I can't remember how or where from but I followed some instructions to log what was happening, please find that attached. A quick search for "died" will show where the issue occurs.
Thanks for reading, I hope someone can help as my wife has all but given up on using the tablet.
Thanks
Craig

Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (Wi-Fi)
Model: GT-P5110TSABTU
Android Version: 4.2.2
Build Number: JDQ39.P5110XXDNH2
Internet Application Version 4.2.2-P5110XXDNH2
Anyone know if this is likely to be a hardware issue?
I'm currently charging it up ready to flash with CM12.1, always wanted to try it and it can't do much harm now and may even fix it!
Thanks for looking anyway.
Here's a tip, go with CM11 snapshot, cm12 is buggy and when you least expect it you get stuck with a bootloop. And drop the native browser and use Chrome.
This tab 2 isn't up to cm12, I was running CM11 for over a year with no issues whatsoever and speed and processor speed equal to my son's Nexus 10.
I t tried CM12 and after 2 weeks it went haywire, I'm not a flashaholic, I use my tab for Internet browsing, youtube and play one game Plants vs Zombies.
I get great battery life and everything works the way it's supposed to.
This a typical screen shot of my tablet in sleep mode.

I have been working non stop to fix my tf700's out-of-the-box sluggishness which, as most of you know, was basically unusable. I have tried every ROM out there and recently found what I thought to be perfection in KatshMallow (KatKiss for 6.0 by developer TimDuru), that is until I started running my high-graphics/animations games... i.e. Order and Chaos 2. Even 8 Ball Pool is laggy. It didn't use to be with other ROMS, but those ROMS had so many other issues for me that I had to keep trying others. OC2 is so slow that my character can barely move, no matter what game display settings I choose. Now, Pokemon GO only works until I click 'okay' to confirm that I will pay attention to my surroundings (before you are able to play the game). When I do that, the app just closes out. Every time As it exits to the home screen, I see that my RAM usage is suddenly through the roof, leading me to believe that I have simply run out of the RAM required to play that game. I've tried everything. Uninstalling apps, freezing apps, optimizing kernel, startup, etc. settings, restarts, cold boots, Dalvik wipes, factory resets... I've gone nuts here thinking my tablet is as optimized as it can even be. But I am no expert, and only know what forums have taught me through continuous Google-age. So what I'd really like to know is, what am I missing? What have I not optimized or changed that could be causing this? I'm sorry if this posting is misplaced, I've never actually posted in these forums before. I'm just desperate.
Thank you SO much in advance for any help you guys can send my way!
