If even Motorola Moto E will be able to run Android 5.0, why Tab 2 won't?
We just need to wait for CM12, and a maintainer to give the word to start the builds for our device. Then, we shall enjoy sweetness :3

My only worry is about Tab 2's CPU. It's kind of outdated... but I hope we still get Android 5.0

Didn't think KitKat would be smooth, but I was surprised at how smmoth it runs, lollipop should be just as good or better.

Android is not like windows,
It gets better and faster

frankly speaking its ALMOST useless to use custom roms on Tablets.... cause most of the GOOD developers who make the roms for tablets like CHARCK, dont own the tablet so now development... so stick with the stock...
AND GUYS FORGET THAT SAMMY WOULD RELEASE JELLY BEAN OFFICIALLY FOR NOTE 10.1 BEFORE NEXT YEAR....! im selling my note 10.1 to get nexus 10 when its available...
Again we see this happening dear Aami if you want to sell the tab you are most welcome to do so its your choice but can please show proof for your statement that the JB update wont be available until next year please dont speculate and turn away others.
I enjoy redemption

I hardly believe. Samsung hasnt officially released list of devices supported for kitkat. it is currently rolling out 4.3 for several devices.
use OmniRom until this news gets confirmed.
We shall discuss over this one. better to move this thread to General discussion thread and Rename the thread once more time.
As per Google, Any mobile company must upgrade their device at-least 1 time in its life time.
also, There is 2nd opinion where, Google said, if any device is having 512 MB Ram and 4GB internal memory - Can avail the KK if their company wants.
So, In future, If Samsung wants, then can upgrade it. But as per Link - they have nominate it. It will get KK if only God or Samsung Officials want.

ask MOD to do it on your behalf.
This is like some joke. Theres no way Samsung is bringing kitkat to galaxy R. One may think that we may get official 4.4, because it runs on even 512 mb ram. But if u know your device properly, it was never incapable of running any jelly bean version IF Samsung wanted. And if u know Samsung properly, they won't bother bringing kitkat to long lost device which no one's heard of except their owners.
Also, that cited website is not a popular one. If this was true, the news would have been all over the web. The list has S2 on it, which is big deal.
I think when they nominated devices, they meant the devices capable and not the ones Samsung chose for upgrade. That's all i wanted to say.

Lol... micromax A110 is getting KK.
It is much capable to handle every ROM but again, Samsung. So, we can say OMNI or other one can b ported to oir device.

How does kitkat has tegra2 support!
Just out of curiosity, how does kitkat has support for tegra2. If my understanding is correct, google has stopped supporting tegra2 4.2 onwards (or is it only CM). If kitkat indeed has support for tegra2, then oneday omnirom can see a stable release version right (we only have nightlies now)?
Also the support matters only for core apps that directly run os kernel. The ones that run on dalvic vm doesn't have have to worry about this right?

Yes. It is only CM that doesn't support tegra2.
Google uses neon instructions and since tegra2 lacks neon we don't and will never have support for features depending on neon. However, there is always a workaround so we just have to adjust with the workaround provided to us. Albeit nightly, Omni is stable enough to be used as daily driver. There are few bugs but those will be fixed over time. Omni will eventually get stable someday.

Lollipop 5.0 Rom?

I know it may be a little early, but will any type of Lollipop Rom be developed for this phone? It would be great to have

I would love to see a Lollipop rom as well. Preferably a port of cyanogenmod once it has been released.

does it have tablet ui? because when you have the buttons in the middle it is kind of hard to navigate.
i will probably check it out at some point when i will have a computer available with the tools and free time

Google removed the TabletUI code since Android Jellybean 4.2.2, so you won't find it in any android more than 4.1.2.

I dont think you will get a stock android for OPO. You can browse thru various ROM's and get which is nearly equal to Stock but not 100% stock.

Stock 5.1 is not relased for yet the OPO. If you mean AOSP (Vanilla - Nexus series) android, there are some in the development section.

Yeah I meant vanilla Android. Was hoping one could download n5 or n6 rom and just install it. but seems it doesn't work this way.

Yes. Please dont do that.
Flashing ROM designed for other devices can leave your phone bricked.
This phone is built for cyanogen or Oxygen which is One Plus own software. The other you are asking about are for factory phones that use Android. The only phone true android is by Google.
