1. I would say yes.
2. Nope.
It's a bit crazy but, I tested cyanogenmod 10 (jelly bean) and aokp roms but I hate the interface,
after that, I returned to the default rom, waiting for something better (The rom were pretty fast in
general but the interface sucks balls and I lost a lots of apps, so I returned back to the default rom)
And if you root this device or install a new rom with recovery, when you boot this thing with power on + volume up,
on the left corner, you can see if your device was "hacked" or not with the number of flashed roms.
Ignore my frenglish.

Is the android that come with it fast, or has some bugs?
Can we play some heavy games E.x Grand Theft Auto III?
Thank you for your help.
Yes its fairly fast and yes you can play games like that , it would be even faster if you used a custom ROM.

For good games that will work on your tab :

You can change the look of a custom ROM by adding a custom theme easily enough , fairly large collection here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801752
You can also clear the binary counter ( so your device isnt showing as "hacked")
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835594
I think its worth the money in general but its a personal choice , you could always try it out and leave it untouched , if you are not happy in general you could return it to the shop and get a refund.
What model are you thinking of buying ?

I am thinking to get SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P3110 7.0 Tablet PC - 8 GB, White
I own a P-3113 and its a great little tablet , the only issues i have had are the ones i have caused , You can get a better spec tablet like the Nexus 7 but that has one major problem....NO external SD card slot. If you want to play games you need that facility as some games have as much as 1 GIG of content to download ( NOVA 3 for example),YOU CAN'T STORE YOUR GAMES ON THE SD CARD , but you can store your other media on it , such as nandroid back ups and media (pictures/ films and music)
These tablets are not top of the range but neither is the price !
You can't play all the top end games on this but you certainly do have a large selection to choose from.
If you want fast updates and the stock Android experience (as well as a quad core processor and 12 core graphics) then get the Nexus 7, but if you like the Samsung Touchwiz UI and Micro SD (and don't mind waiting a few months for Android updates), then the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is a good tablet.
I can play GTA 3 on Gtab2 7.0
Thank you for help to decide, i will the the Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1 inch Tablet - White (16GB, WiFi, Android 4.0) that cost £273.34 and has £50 Cashback from samsung, so will cost £223.34, hope does the same job.
Thank you.

Hello guys,
I would like to install CM 10.2 on my Note 10.1. It is really icredibly fast and smooth with longer battery life.
But what I would like to ask about, is that, if I flash this ROM:
1- Can I get S Note app to run on it? I use this app a lot for my notes and learning.
2- Can I get a solution for multi-screen? I used already HALO using XPOSED framework on my S III and loved it. So, does HALO work as well on Note 10.1 running CM 10.2?
3- Any "severe" problems that prevent it from being a choice as a daily driver?
4- I already installed CM 10.2 on Tab 10.1 Verizon LTE (p4vzw) and loved the fact that the notifications pannel is separated from the navigation bar. Is this the case as well in Note 10.1?
5- Any drawbacks in using the SPen?
I have searched and googled a lot for answers to these questions, but could not find any.
Every tiny help is hugely appreciated

What?!?! Wait for Kit Kat?!?! OMG, we have been waiting for months now for 4.2.2 and we became more patient when they stepped up to 4.3 without 4.2.2 upgrade and we are still waiting!! And when they released some S III 4.3 updates, they were horrible and got pulled after hours!!!
Kit Kat won't be released for months!!! And when released, Android 5.0 or 5.1 will be already released!!! If not even buggy!
Anyways, any alternatives to S Note for importing PDF files and taking notes?

Im honestly surprised there is'nt more Custom Roms available for the Galaxy Tab 3 T211, for instance, Roms like Miui, C.M 10.2, AOKP, PACMAN, or even a Touch Wiz 4.3 Updated jump Off to run flawlessly on the Tab 3 T211. Im like really Baffled over here wondering whats going on, this is a great lil device , however this stock 4.1.2 SUCKs. Please, we need a great developer to cook up something RAW for us to Flash.

I really hope for someone will make it soon. I can't do it myself, I don't understand the program language.
So, for you developer, thanks b4. Maybe you can spent your time to make a CM with very2 updated Android sistem (maybe 4.4).

Hey A, You just gave me hope..!!
I honestly hope your Right Buddy, cause from what i see in the forum theres only literally only 2 Custom Roms, Dont get me wrong i TRULY appreciate ALL Devs in this Forum and XDA as a whole, But i definitely dont know how to even start cooking up a Custom Rom, however if ANY devs would need any help with anything simple i always available and willing to assist. Now could it be there isnt many Roms for the T211 cause its fairly new, about how old it is already 6 months old..?? Cause thats a bit of time already. well i hope your right buddy, cant wait to have at least 1 sick rom with UNRESTRICTED TETHERING... I WISH ALL THE BEST TO ALL Devs and everyone as a whole in XDA..

We are here to help one another- Let us work hand in hand in helping to get this device to work as great as possible. Honestly speaking this device may be lagging at times....but this can be resolved by Kernel revamp plus tweaks like :
- Scorpion Bionic Optimisation
- Neon script
My setup to be honest :
Stock ROM..Rooted
Crossbeeder Tweak
So far have not removed any bloatware yet and with the above setup my Antutu (full test) score is on my SM-T211
It'll be worth the wait. My phone is a Motorola Atrix HD. It was released August 2012 and didn't get any real development until the bootloader was unlocked in April of 2013. Since then it has most all of the major ROM's on 4.4.2. Everyone kept saying the same thing about this time last year. Just stick it out.

Totally Understand your dilemma..
Hey B, the deference with the the Galaxy Tab is there no BootLoader holding back the development. i honestly think no big development is acquiring because of the hardware, its not much to brag about, its only a Dual core, i think thats the problem, and with this stock System its really laggy, well for me it is, cause i have the note 2 as well. Anyway i will be here patiently waiting cause in really loving this device, once it get some steroids then ill love it even more. Thanksss.

So to make sure that I understand what you are saying... I could, instead of having a Wi-Fi Hot Spot from Sprint, have a Tab 3 from Sprint with a data plan, install this, and then be able to use this tablet as a Hot Spot? I currently use my Note 3 (that has unlimited data) but there are times I'd rather have the Hot Spot (or this tablet) as how I connect my laptop to the internet (Like when 4G isn't available and using the Note on 3G basically disables the ability to do phone and data simultaneously).
I don't use the Hot Spot very much so I could probably do this with a limited data plan on the tablet and get away with it.
Anyway. Too long of a post to simply ask if this allows tethering of a Laptop to the Tab 3 for the laptop to use the Tab 3's data plan.
Thanks!

Well 4.4 Kitkat is coming soon from Samsung. Most people like Touchwiz and you can't get a lot working beyond 4.2.2 in any ROM until Samsung drops a new version and the libs can be updated. Not much to do until 4.4 comes that hasn't already been done. Root, then a few tweaks and the tab really hums. When you branch off into cell providers tab versions it gets even harder because you need new /different kernels, modems and firmware specifically for them. In other words there just isn't that much demand for custom ROMs and it takes a lot of effort.
Its funny you say that D.
There isn't even 4.2.2 Build out for the Galaxy Tab 3 T211.. The Tab 3 T311 came with 4.2.2 out the BOX, so it has nothing to do with waiting, cause 4.2.2 is there, however your right when you say there isn't any Devs willing to put in there quality time to cook anything up for the T211, I dont know why cause this Device is a nice lil jump off, so i just made the decision to sell it and cop the Tab 3 8'' T311. Much better device, barely any lag and it came running 4.2.2 out the box, Plus it comes with 16gigs of internal storage, and it just costed me ONLY an extra $10 after selling the T211 for $350, i came off like a fat rat.. lol... So I have my Note 3 Tweaked out, running Jovy23 Darthstalker V6 Custom Rom, Tethering my Tab 3 T311 FLAWLESSLY... Im Loving It..!! :0

Stop hoping.. WHen Tab3s get the official 4.4 is when you will see a working 4.4 . You can't port things without a proper kernel , libs, blobs, and framework to build on. Libs and blobs are not all open source and its tricky to build a kernel without a vendor base. Samsung should be pushing out some 4.4 in April / May

Cell carrier versions always lag behind because they require the cell carrier to add in their bits , kernel, radio, modem, etc.
Hey T.F
I Agree, i would LOVE a T.W 4.4.2 KitKat myself. Im running CM11 (Big Up to CM) and its running GREAT, FLAWLESSLY on my T311, however I Know TW 4.4.2 KitKat will be ported at some point to our 8" Tab 3, look at the bright side though, at-least we have a few options and are not stuck on 4.1.2 like the T211....
QUOTE=thefoss;51314636]I just got a Tab 3 8.0. Was really hoping for a 4.4.2 Tab Pro port[/QUOTE]
Well after reading all comments ... its mean this device is not so good ? Complaints about lags or no custom rom?
Even on stock rom you can improve performance with tweaks like edit your build.prop and add some tweak or add tweak in init.d folder like fly-on mod...
For me I use stock rom 4.1.2 with some tweaks on build.prop
I can play games like asphalt 8 or gta san andreas or play psp game almost smooth with no lag except some game on psp emulator of course I cant compare with my nvidia shield... but for me this galaxy tab 3 7.0 is good enough

Hey guys,
Our old Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 p5113 was stuck on the animated Samsung logo, so I flashed it with Beanstalk v6.13. Now it seems a bit heavy. So I'm looking through the dev threads, but my head is spinning. SO MANY OPTIONS!
What is the most stable ROM? My wife and 5-yr-old will only be using it for games. No social media stuff. What is your best recommendation? Hoping to avoid having to update again anytime soon. I did notice with the old ROM, certain games weren't supported, so that's also a factor.
Thanks!

My wife stole my 5113 with slim 6. Strictly Netflix. No complaints from her with it
I used to rock a Galaxy S2 for a long time, from 2012-2015, and just bought a used one again for the novelty, and for use basically as MP3 player for live shows (once they get going again). Not planning on using this as a "daily driver" or putting in any SIM card, mainly just as a novelty retro device to play background music that's cheap to replace if someone stole it at a gig.
I'm having a hard time sorting through what's available here. I used to have a Touchwiz-based Jelly Bean ROM installed that had different elements in there, I think the last features it had were things from the Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S4. It was basically a fine-tuned version of TouchWiz with all the bloat removed. I remember the camera being particularly good and much clearer than stock. I don't mind if its a Jelly Bean, Ice Cream Sandwich or whatever came later, Kit Kat, etc but mainly am just trying to find the best TouchWiz based custom rom just for nostalgia fun.
I also understand that the Play Store probably doesn't work with any of the available Android versions, this is mainly to be used as an MP3 player, and maybe rarely as an extra video camera, and I may side load old versions of an NES/SNES emulator and that's it. Thanks for any help!
im using this phone still, using the unofficial lineageOS 14.1 by celox
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2-tmobile/rom-cyanogenmod-14-0-celox-t3470659
google apps works and not many problems but runs very slow, slow that it makes me angry
without gapps runs faster but still slow
phones really old, use it mostly for an alarm clock and 1 app
Wonder if adding the low ram flag would speed it up?
And overclocking?

Hi just came across this forum, I run a custom cyanogenmod 10 based Android Jellybean 4.3 rom, and it makes my Galaxy S2 run very fast.
90% of the things I want to do still work, including google calendar, web browser etc, and you can download apks of older versions of anything that won't run.
A lot of apps supported JellyBean until 2019, and the playstore version is from 2020, so not that old.
