Hello everyone i got a couple questions,
my good old (well not that good) galaxy tab 2 10.1 (P5110) is running LineageOS 14.1 atm. i moved from stock 4.2.1 to his custom rom.
but there are a couple things that i do not like about all the current roms (not trying to bash the great development teams over here) but it feels like i am holding a phone instead of a tablet.
Is there any rom out there that has the stock UI? and still be on android 6, 7+ ?
I tried OmniROM, SLIMROM, REsurrection, LineageOS but they all look the same (phone look).
thanks in advance, and keep up the good work

If you mean the launcher you can probably find some custom launcher in playstore that looks like the one in stock rom. If you mean the dropdown menu with the quick settings tiles as well, I dont think you can do anything about it.
I suggest you let it be as it is now. Once you get used to it you might actually like it more than the old. After all there is no "phone" or "tablet" look. They both run the same os. Their only difference is the size of the screen.

Hi,
I am xda-developers reader/lurker for years but this is a first time that I am not able to continue without your help.
I just got Note 10.1 and I would like to have pdroid on it. I just tried collective edition ROM and I really like it. What I miss if pdroid.
I could switch to some of CM roms but I would like to keep split screen and other great Note 10.1 specific features.
Any ideas? Thanks.

So far, because of closed source of the kernel or some other things (what I have heard), it's not possible to make a working room with pdroid. I already tried that with... omega rom I think. The autopatcher worked but not pdroid/pdroid2.0 after flashing. It started but crashed by collecting the apps. After some searching I read that s because of the official kernel or touch wiz. Maybe in the future. Meanwhile I am using LDE.
Edit: I also tried openpdroid, but the autopatcher stops because of a missing jpg. Tried to fix it myself, but well... Next git version maybe.
Hi guys,
I need help!
I have a tab 2 7.0 P3110, on Android 4.2.2, and it is soooo laggy!
I have taken out all widgets, and uninstalled a lot of apps, but still it is very slow.
Will rooting it help? If so, can someone point me to the instructions to root it, and also which one would be best for me (mostly browsing, reading emails and using some of the widgets. No gaming or anything like that)?
Hoping to turn around my tablet and get a few more years out of it. At the moment, it is almost unusable with the laggy performance.
Thanks!!
Root the device is just getting the administrator permissions only.
However you can flash the new 3rd parties rom like CM11 (which you need the newest CWM recovory)
Or install some apps like greenfiy / auto memory manger from Google Play store.
These should be helpful to your tab to reduce the laggy.
You may also Google these to know more about rooting
Hope these help for you.
Thanks!
I am using greenify and memory management, but it is still not smooth. I feel it us samsung's bloat were which is mainly to blame. Which ROM would be best, as close as possible to the native android image, or perhaps better? Any links for installation would be very appreciated.
We can't tell you which ROM is best for you. Best way is try a few yourself as amny as you can and settle for one which you like the most. I would suggest you to check Samsung Tab 2 Android Development Forum. All Roms are listed there and installation instructions are included in first/second post of each ROM Thread.
I am using SlimKat Rom for last one and half years in my Tab 2. its stable version 8.0 now.

Cogbytes, have you ever tried CM rom (Whatever which version)?
I would like compare the performance between slimkat and CM.
Main difference in CM and SlimKat is features only. Performance is almost same unless you use different kernel (other than stock). I used CM for a few months too. SlimKat interface and tweaks are a bit more satisfactory than CM, but its my opinion only. Its worth to try to SlimKat stable version atleast once.
Hi guys, I use Android 5.0.1 stock version on my phone, but it uses too much space.
I want to flash a new custom rom, which is lighter, and better than this. I used CyanogenMod but it only has nightly version, and it was not really stable(it still has camera, snapchat, on call problems).
So I am asking if you can suggest me a stable, lightweight and nicely designed(like touchwiz or cm) ROM.
thank you for your time.

You're not the first person to make this mistake, but this is the wrong forum. This forum is for the Galaxy S 4G, a first generation Galaxy S device that was released in 2010. The forum you're looking for is located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/.
There,, you'll find many, many different opinions on what ROM/kernel combination is best, search and read through the threads. Also, since its a Exynos-based device, Custom ROMs are very difficult to make and most will have at least some bugs.
I have the Wifi model of the 12.2 in tablet and i am looking for a new rom. I am rocking stock 4.4.2 and the only reason i have not swapped roms is because i love the touch wiz keyboard on my tablet. So is there any rom with the touch wiz keyboard that is running a newer version of android.

Just checking have you thought about this one? I have been thinking about trying it, I didnt see much feedback on it. Lineage 14.1 seems to have a lot of issues, I dont about 12 and 13 if they are stable or not. so I am looking for a good Rom as well.

Lineage is OK

I'm using Lineage 14.1 (v7.1.2 Android) and I like it so far. I had a problem at one point in the procedure (see my earlier post titled "Cannot root & flash LineageOS 14.1 (v1awifi) with sequence in LineageOS wiki page"). But I got that resolved. I'm pretty happy with the Android Keyboard.
Hi , I'm a Galaxy A51 user with 6GB RAM and 128GB Storage. I've been facing alot of lag and freeze and slow animations with Android 11 and the downgrade to Android 10 is no longer possible.
So I'm looking for a stable Custom ROM (Camera , Fingerprints working etc ... ) .
Any suggestions ?
you have a powerhouse.....you should not be facing lag at all so that in itself is weird and yea it could be the os
Custom rom suggestions could be suggestive, why not visit the awesome threads by our devs on here and see which one you like.....thats what xda is about after all.
Your device especially is spoilt for choice with one ui ports and a dev is even planning on android 12 support.
Explore xda....
all in all you asked for suggestions and mine is always lineage os...and i can see your device is supported by the latest lineage 18.1 so unofficial builds are unnecessary but since your device is samsung i would HIGHLY suggest you go for a port (by port i mean those one ui 3.x roms that still give u that samsung look and feel) Lineage strips your samsung completely and i find that to be an injustice cause samsung one ui is quite beautiful and since your device has a port of one ui(unlike mine)....go for it dont go for lineage.
Am a hundred percent sure not all are buggy....and just flash one that catches your eye and give it a spin.
