latest option for p5110? - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been out of the scene for a while and looking to update my tab 2 10.1 to the latest release. Currently running a slimkat ROM 4.4.4 and wondering what my option is to get the tablet lollipop but running a clean install?
My question is how can I backup everything off my device before I do this to minimize my setting up time afterwards?

Question about Roms, Android Versions, and my GT-N8013

Okay, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013. I have rooted the tablet successfully and installed Omnirom on it, except Omnirom cam with Android 4.4.4 when my device's stock version is Android 4.1.2. After downloading Omnirom I would like to switch to Paranoid Android so I can access the pie feature on my tablet instead of the omnibox.
However, being very new at this, could I use a Paranoid Android Tablet Rom based on Android 4.4.4 instead of the standard 4.1.2? I don't want to go back to 4.1.2, it wasn't fun. I would like to keep Android 4.4.4 and have the updated version of Paranoid Android for my Galaxy Note 10.1 Is this possible?

your question seems odd for some reason im not understanding i guess.
so, you flashed a 4.4.4 rom onto your device and you want to know if you can flash another 4.4.4 rom onto your device that is made for your device correct?
if that is accurate^^, then yes, you can just flash the new rom.
the only possible problem i could see is, if there is an official update to kitkat for your device? if no then there will be no issue.
if there is an official kk for your device, say so and i will elaborate on the possible issues.

Recommended rom for galaxy tab 4 10.1

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

[Q] Any advice before updating to Cyanogenmod 12.1?

hi, i want to update to CM12.1 but first i want to be real sure that:
1) i can go back safely if i don't like
2) i won't soft/hardbrick
i'm currently on 4.4.4 US Retail on my XT1032, 2 months ago i updated to 5.0 stock brazil but don't like it because no xposed and doesn't wanted to try cm12, i downgraded to 4.4.2 making a softbrick but somehow i get out and updated to 4.4.4, I have understood that i need to have CM11 installed in order to install CM12, i have the CM11 snapshot for falcon ( from 2014) and have the CM12.1 latest nightly, now:
1) it's safe to flash the CM11 snapshot to install CM12.1 later?
2) if i don't like it or is very unstable, i can go back to 4.4.4?
sorry for the bad english and thanks in advance

Galaxy tab 2 10.1 P5110 - Latest stable Android based OS?

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.
