I have a tab 2 10.1 gt-p5113. I am interested in updating it. Problem is I have been away far too long. Last time I came here there were no aosp roms lol. So which roms are stable enough for daily use? I mainly use the thing for netflix. And I am having a hard time picking a rom. I noticed no new releases for stock roms. So what roms do you have on your tabs?

I have cm11 on mine, but slimrom (slimkat) or omnirom seems to be a better choice because of the frequent updates. Android-Andi keeps them in good shape.
Awesome thank you! Do you use netflix? I was reading in one of them that there was a conflict with the app. I don't remember which one it was though. Trying to update roms on tab 2, note 3, and LG g3. It's racking my brain lol

Hello everyone. I know android 4.3 adds multi-user support, however as I've found out over the past week each device has its own rom's (before I thought it was like an OS, one OS to rule them all).
From searching, I found that Cyanogen Mod 10.1 supports multi-users and that I'll probably need a multi-user app share from the app store to make everything work.
Right now my device is running stock firmware (4.1.2 I believe, it's upstairs charging), so I'm wondering what my best bet would be:
1) Find a custom ROM like CM 10.1 and go from there
2) Wait for official 4.3 (I believe I shouldn't hold my breath for this?)
3) Find a way to get 4.3 on the device now. I've seen some people have signatures that mention they're running 4.3 on it.
I kind of know how to do the first, but where can I find a feature listing for custom roms? Everything has been jumbled and confusing. I'd rather be taught to fish then just given a fish. Also is there any advice/recommendations on other rom's out there? (I'm not asking for the best, just a few to take a look at if there isn't a global list)
I have no clue how to do the third. I recently (this week) had to restore a Galaxy S2 phone and I put a good 30 hours before getting it to a state where it's usable. My biggest problem ended up finding the proper rom to use.
Thank you.
CyanogenMod 10.1 is stable and is what I recommend you use. CyanogenMod 10.2 is running 4.3, and from the majority of reports is usable as a daily driver! Don't count on seeing an official 4.3 release ;]

I've been using PAC ROM. Pretty nice if you know what you're doing. More of a learning curve to get it set up just how you want it, but once you do it's great.

Thanks, it looks like my best bet would be to wait for 10.2 to get completed and then throw that on there.
Hi there. I loved AOKP on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 would like recommendations on what similiar rom I can get for my spanking new 7.7
I was reading about Pacman and Paranoid Android but have no idea regarding the stability of these roms. Would someone care to enlighten me?

I believe either can be used on a daily basis. Currently i am using the Pacman ROM as that ROM has significantly more options for customization. Which ROM is a matter of preference and these or any others have some risks and have hiccups on occasion. Careful use of backups can keep you out of trouble and a fresh install if you switch usually reduces the chance of problems.
Good luck on whichever one you pick and I hope you'll have a great time experimenting with all the options. Congratulations on getting a 7.7 as I think they are getting hard to get even with the apparent lack of updates from Samsung. Guys like Daniel (and the others before him) have keep this Tab current. :good:
thank you for the response colonelbillenstein! whats the biggest problem you have running Pacman ROM? I remember the biggest issue with AOKPSGT7 was the bluetooth not working thus making me unable to transfer files between devices.

My biggest issue is getting the NavBar to stay visible. One of the guys had a work around but it did not work for me. My issue and the potential solution is is spelled out in the Pacman thread.
Regarding bluetooth, I have had no significant problems pairing with a jawbone era, jambox, my harley bike sound and phone system, a 7000 series samsung tv, and my laptop. I normally only use bluetooth for handsfree tasks and use airdroid and a few other apps to transfer files. Daniel the guy who build these ROMs spent many hours working out the bluetooth issues. Again I hope you have a lot of fun with you Tab - i use mine for for everything and when traveling move of the time don't need a laptop.:cyclops:
just flashed Pacman ROM. loving the stock android experience! was wondering about whether some AOKP features like sliding across the status bar to adjust brightness and hold back button to kill app are in here? Can't seem to find them.
Hi folks,
I've been running the OMNIROM (from an unofficial build mid-May) on my 5113 for several weeks. I moved away from the stock ROM due to instability issues (reboots, lots of "stopped" messages) after the 4.2.2 Samsung software got pushed to it automatically. The thing was basically unusable.
Omnirom has been great, with two caveats: 1, the hardware keyboard is on by default, and needs to be switched off each reboot [fixed in later build, this was accidentally reintroduced around the time I flashed], and 2, the thing turns itself off frequently, as in overnight. Drives my kid nuts.
Anyway, I'm tempted to reflash with the latest omnirom from the stable builds folder, but wondering if there is anything better out there that would be even better suited for a kid to use, mostly for gaming (Pocket Minecraft, Angry birds, Lego games...). I'm looking for stability over all else, as long as things like the camera and wifi work.
Thanks in advance for your recommendations.
Marc
Slimkat is the way to go right now in my opinion. Stable 5 is great, I am running weekly 5.10 and it also is super stable, never had a single problem. It looks good and it feels good. Check it out.

i was on CM 10.1 previously and heard that stock 4.2.2 was released for the tab 2, its terribly optimized and battery life is terrible, tried out CM 11 this time and it looks pretty stable, would highly recommend it, if there was CM10.2 for our tab 2 i would go for that instead.
I'm also with Slimkat 5.10 and it really rocks. Fast, stable, light, nice battery life ... Everything what I need the tablet for. I've tried every ROM out there, and Slimkat is the way to go IMHO.
I appreciate the replies, guys!
I will give SlimKat a try once I get around to redoing the Tab2. I was on a CyanogenMod back in late May, for a day or two, but it didn't seem very slick and didn't quite have the feel I was looking for at the time. Omnirom was much better in my opinion for my interests... I just chose a build with a few quirks. I'd happily try a stable build Omnirom again, but I'm intrigued by all the good things I'm hearing about SlimKat.
Thanks!
Marc

Hello!
So I just got my brand new One plus one today :good:. I wanted to install Lollipop on it, and yes I know its still in mostly alpha development at this moment. However, can anyone recommend me what in thier opinion is the best and most stable lollipop ROM for the One plus one? I'm mostly looking for stability. (and mediocre battery life)
Thanks in advance! :highfive:

If your OPO is new i wont recommend you doing anything for atleast 2 weeks!
Till that time Alpha builts will progress to beta builds hopefully
use CM11s Its actually quite awesome!
Play with camera you'll love it...
CM12 has bad camera for now! :{
There is no best stable lollipop rom, they all build from the same source and is more or less identical with very minor insignificant changes.
I personally like the latest liquidsmooth 4.0 build.

Best stable Lollipop Alfa for One+ One is for me the Temasek-Build.
There's no such thing as a best ROM anyway. You'll get a million different people with a million different opinions, which makes asking this question completely pointless because you're left having to flash and find out, which is what you should be doing in the first place.

Hey boys and girls! It's been a bit of awhile since I've posted. I've had my Tmobile Note 5 since the day of release and I've loved this phone ever since day 1! As of right now Im currently running a Sky High kernel and N5 Express. Unfortunately my Note 5's time has come and I've pre ordered the S8 Plus, so I'll just be pretty much using it more or less as a personal media device or maybe for bluetooth lol. I understand that each developer here has their own purpose to each and every ROM but I just sorta want some info from some of you people in the T-Mobile section. What are you running? Why do you prefer it? I know how to flash so I don't really need any assistance in that. Shoot. I've been customizing phones ever since the PPC6700 . Your opinions are much appreciated!
Hi mate, my 2 cents here, I have been using darkstalker rom for a while, it's a stock based rom with all the bells and whistles that you would expect from a custom rom.. Its becoming outdated but I use it mainly for the stability, I hadn't a single crash since I installed it, impressive.. I wouldn't mind an update though, but the developer is no longer updating it. Just my 2 cents..

I'm currently on Khongloi's S8 Nougat and its running pretty good. the issues that was in v4 have been worked out in v5. There's also an issue with Titanium Backup not seeing that your phone is rooted but there's a fix for that as well. I have been using it for a few days and I must say, I'm very impressed with the ROM. Once Nougat comes out to our phones (any day now......) then development will open up again.
Sounds good
Hey your input is much appreciated and I will definitely play with the Darth Stalker! I like the amount of customization as well!

Very nice I will have to mess around with that S8 rom too! Makes me stoked for my new one to come . I appreciate the information and I look forward to taking a part into that development aswell!
I was formerly using Darthstalker, but I've since moved to Nemesis Rom for some hands on with Nougat. While I like the rom itself I miss the full range of customization that Darthstalker has. The closest thing that I've seen in terms of customization is NN8 Rom but I've yet to get call audio working on it.
