I have the latest JB stock rom on my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and find it to be too slow/sluggish for my liking. I'd like to regress to a faster stock ROM - say 2.3.3 GB. Not sure how to go about it or where to find it.
Thanks

Hello everyone, i have an AT&T Galaxy note 2 rooted with android 4.3 and and custom AOSP Rom, i would like to know what kernel is best for OCing my note 2 to 1.8 ghz or above on an android 4.3 AOSP rom and is also compatible with note 2. Oh and undervolting is not really needed, but nice if it has it.
AOSP Rom+Android 4.3+AT&T Note 2
I'm wondering this too, I've tried looking for a good kernel but I'm not having luck. The ones I'm flashing are just causing problems on every AOSP ROM I've tried.

You should always stick with the STOCK KERNEL on an AOSP rom, hence always having problems on AOSP Rom

I think sami doesnt support anymore us. But u can install stock 4.2.2. Or cyanogenmod...as custom rom
Sent from my GT-P5110 using Tapatalk
I think that it will be more difficult even to have a fully functional cyanogenmod because of the changes in the surfaceflinger...TI is out of the market so we won't get further official support i guess...See Galaxy nexus also...
Impossible to have an Official 4.4 update, but I don't doubt that we'll have an stable and fully functioning 4.4 via CyanogenMOD.
but our device is fully capable of running 4.4.x .. this is unfair thats y i dont go for any sammy devices

Our device can run PURE 4.4 smoothly, but Samsung adds crap (aka Touchwiz) to Android...
proof? Official 4.2.2 is a HORRIBLE firmware!
Samsung announced that 4.2 would be the Tab 2's last update. At this point, if you want newer OS versions, ROMs are your only choice. 4.3.1 is pretty standard for roms nowadays. PAC-Rom developers said that they are already working on a 4.4 build for the tab 2, but it will be a while before it's out.
I have a Galaxy S4 Verizon SCH-i545. I am looking for a stock (or as close to stock as I can get) version of Kitkat that's either rooted I can install or one I can root. I am running 4.2.2 rooted. There large quantity of roms floating around I am new to all the android acronyms.
I found this one, but I cant figure out if its modded, or Verizon compatible or so on.

Stock Firmware vs Stock Custom ROM. A confusion for many years i have for all Android Phones i rooted (Samsung, LG, Sony)
For example:
my Base ROM is IceCreamSandwich (ICS), because it was easy to Root & Install Recovery on ICS.
Then i have flashed JellyBean (JB) Stock based Custom ROM on it.
now on reboot 1st LG logo on very start says (ICS version) but later it boots into JellyBean ROM.
My Question is:
does firmware ICS still has any effect on Phone? or now only JB ROM (stock based modified ROM) has full control of mobile??
Install the last fw is always a good road... maybe first you can read others experience s

For example:
I have 2 LG mobiles one is on Base Stock Firmware GingerBread with on top Stock based Custom ROM JellyBean 4.1.2
my 2nd mobile has Base Stock Firmware ICS with on top Stock Custom ROM JellyBean 4.1.2
My Question is:
does having GB vs ICS vs JB firmware makes any difference for Recovery?...or installing main JellyBean Custom ROM on top cancels effect of firmware on it???
i mean having latest firmware improves battery and radio/mobile/wifi signals?

Gingerbread verses ICS Battery life is very different, ICS and up will give you better battery life, its always best to have the latest android version on your phone because more apps will work with your device the higher it is.

it might be that the jellybean rom is not jelly bean or it just kept the ics logo
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!
Matthieu
------------------
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.
