Explanations needed about custom roms for the Tab 2.
I have install CM 11 ver 4.4.4 on a Acer A700 & Nook HD+; no problems. Now with the Tab 2, I see all kinds of "custom roms" but the ver from Cyanogenmod isn't listed as a custom rom in the 'everything you want to know about the Galaxy Tab 2' thread or something like that.
I do see SlimKat, OpenKang, Expresso, Omnirom, etc but no mention of Cyanogenmod (CM 11) except as that the custom roms were derived from it(?). The big question is that should I use one of the listed/known "custom roms" or stay with what I got from the Cyanogenmod site even if the Cyanogenmod wasn't listed as a "custom rom"?
I guess the problem is that I've only encountered the A700 & Nook HD+ with only 1 version of CM 11 on the XDA forums. Since Cyanogenmod has their own website, was that the reason that it wasn't listed or considered as a custom rom?
Definitely some confusion here. HELP!

Yes, CM11 is a custom ROM. The version from CM's site works well.
If you are looking for other good custom ROM's, I would try @Android-Andi's Homemade OmniRom.
It has multi-window and really good battery life since he fixed the KK battery drain in his version.
SlimKat is another good choice. If you flash CM11, you should also flash @Android-Andi's AA_Anykernel CM version and the vendor blobs.
His kernel fixes the battery drain issue.

Just remember that not everybody has the drain (I never have) so may not need Andis super Kernel and may be able to try others. FYI

i just bought TF101G a few months ago and i feel like disappointed with custom rom available for this model.. i found many custom roms for TF101 model like TEAM EOS, TWRP, Revolver, Harmony, Android Revolution, Cyanogen, etc.. but i only found one custom rom for TF101G (Android Revolution for TF101G).. however i notice some custom roms have [3G] in their post title but it is for TF101, what is that means? can i use that rom for my TF101G? or can i use custom cm10 from get.cm website for my TF101G?
I have recently been convinced to root my tab 2 7.0, however I really dont know what rom would be best for me. i would prefer something obviously better than my stock rom, still have my seven screens, and something as user friendly as possible. please help, thanks.

CyanogenMod
CM 11 (Android KitKat) NIGHTLIES
CM 10.1 (Android 4.2 Jelly Bean) STABLE
CM 9 (Android 4.0 ICS) STABLE
CWM Based Recoveries
There are hundreds of roms available. It differs from person to person which roms he/she likes.
I personally like CyanogenMod. Just look here and find a rom.
Almost all threads have a guide how to install the rom. If you don't like the rom you just simply install another one.
If you want to get started, install CWM Recovery as listed above.

Hello! Dear Developers And Seniors on this forum I want you all to guide me in updating my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3100)(Indian Version- 3G, GSM, WIFI, 16 Gb) to Android Kitkat 4.4.x.
I know there are several ROM's regarding the same on this forum. But I am little bit confused as to choose which ROM?
My Current Firmware:
Samsung's Official 4.4.2 Firmware & the device is NOT ROOTED.
My Requirements:
1 - I want a "Complete Bug Free" Kitkat 4.4.x ROM for my device.
2- I want that ROM which includes all official features of Kitkat 4.4.x and in which all features of Kitkat 4.4.x works flawless.
3- I want that ROM with which my device wont get SLOW or HANGS/FREEZES or SHUTS OFF.
4- I want that ROM which has a little bit Samsung type looks (Optional Requirement).
My MAJOR Confusion:
1- I visited the Official CyanogenMod Website and saw that there is CM 11 made for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P 3100. The latest version there is "NIGHTLY 27-11-2014".
Now, I am confused about what is included in this CM11 Nightly 27-11-2014 version and what are the bugs inside it (Is it Totally Bug free and fulfills my above mentioned requirements or not).
2- Whether I should go for Official CM 11 Nightly 27-11-2014 Version or the ROM's listed on XDA Forum such as OMNIROM, SLIMKAT, CRDROID, DHOLLMEN,CARBON ROM?
3- What is the difference between Official CM 11 Nightly ROM Vs. OMNIROM, SLIMKAT, CRDROID, DHOLLMEN,CARBON ROM?
I request you all to answer my post soon so that I could be able to run the best Kitkat 4.4.x ROM on my device just like you.:

The difference between the different ROMs available can be features, kernel, etc.
What OS are you running on your computer? Before you can install the ROM. you will have to install a custom recovery. This thread should in the Q&A section, so I will ask a moderator to move it there.
Don't be offended, but I'm stunned. Not with your ignorance, but how you ignore this community rules. You demand answers for questions, that are all already given on those subforums. I suppose you didn't even read sticked threads. Don't make me wrong, we are all here to help each other.
There's no such thing as super stable, full featured, bugs-free rom. Noone will also have time to write a book about differences between them. You want some answers, just read. All I can do is to give you a few suggestions, look for:
1. P3100 CM11 M11 snapshot (AndroidAndi)
2. Newest GAPPS (ie. Full modular)
3. Eventually OC kernel (AGNi, Dhollmen or Blackhawk)
Before even thinking about any customs, you need to know about:
1. Rooting / custom recoveries (ie. TWRP)
2. Flashing methods (Odin / CWM)
I can't write about all of this in one thread, it's pointless, all is here, just search.
If you want to know about differences between rooms than just look for first post in each thread dedicated to them. But you should start with Cyanogenmod, you can call it a 'base' for many other distributions. (This is not quite true, but it's another story).

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
I have finally got a different charging cable for my galaxy tab 2 10.1 and now i can charge it and use it again. I have an old LineageOS installed but sense it has been removed from the website i am looking for a new custom rom to use. I want to use something around Kitkat. Any ideas?
I am using lineage 11, really good kitkat ROM. If you pick lineage 11 I would pick build 3 because the builds after that have broken root access.
Try SlimKat. Its based on 4.4.4 and it really runs like hell. Tried it after my weired problem got solved, but I prefere to use CM13, the latest build from andi34's github. It runs really stable and I really love the old CM logo, the LAOS13 is very unstable in daily use. My dad told me that a while ago...
The main reason why I prefere Android 6 instead of 7 is, because it supports many older XPOSED modules and apps like SetCPU does still work. :good:
CM is the one and only for me, big thanks to the dev's :highfive:
Anyway, here's the link for andi's "Slim" repo: https : / / andi34 . github . io / roms_tab2_slim . html
