Good Custom Rom for Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have finally got a different charging cable for my galaxy tab 2 10.1 and now i can charge it and use it again. I have an old LineageOS installed but sense it has been removed from the website i am looking for a new custom rom to use. I want to use something around Kitkat. Any ideas?

I am using lineage 11, really good kitkat ROM. If you pick lineage 11 I would pick build 3 because the builds after that have broken root access.

Try SlimKat. Its based on 4.4.4 and it really runs like hell. Tried it after my weired problem got solved, but I prefere to use CM13, the latest build from andi34's github. It runs really stable and I really love the old CM logo, the LAOS13 is very unstable in daily use. My dad told me that a while ago...
The main reason why I prefere Android 6 instead of 7 is, because it supports many older XPOSED modules and apps like SetCPU does still work. :good:
CM is the one and only for me, big thanks to the dev's :highfive:
Anyway, here's the link for andi's "Slim" repo: https : / / andi34 . github . io / roms_tab2_slim . html

CyanogenMod
CM 11 (Android KitKat) NIGHTLIES
CM 10.1 (Android 4.2 Jelly Bean) STABLE
CM 9 (Android 4.0 ICS) STABLE
CWM Based Recoveries
There are hundreds of roms available. It differs from person to person which roms he/she likes.
I personally like CyanogenMod. Just look here and find a rom.
Almost all threads have a guide how to install the rom. If you don't like the rom you just simply install another one.
If you want to get started, install CWM Recovery as listed above.

[Q] Is cyanogenmod 11 a custom rom??

Explanations needed about custom roms for the Tab 2.
I have install CM 11 ver 4.4.4 on a Acer A700 & Nook HD+; no problems. Now with the Tab 2, I see all kinds of "custom roms" but the ver from Cyanogenmod isn't listed as a custom rom in the 'everything you want to know about the Galaxy Tab 2' thread or something like that.
I do see SlimKat, OpenKang, Expresso, Omnirom, etc but no mention of Cyanogenmod (CM 11) except as that the custom roms were derived from it(?). The big question is that should I use one of the listed/known "custom roms" or stay with what I got from the Cyanogenmod site even if the Cyanogenmod wasn't listed as a "custom rom"?
I guess the problem is that I've only encountered the A700 & Nook HD+ with only 1 version of CM 11 on the XDA forums. Since Cyanogenmod has their own website, was that the reason that it wasn't listed or considered as a custom rom?
Definitely some confusion here. HELP!

Yes, CM11 is a custom ROM. The version from CM's site works well.
If you are looking for other good custom ROM's, I would try @Android-Andi's Homemade OmniRom.
It has multi-window and really good battery life since he fixed the KK battery drain in his version.
SlimKat is another good choice. If you flash CM11, you should also flash @Android-Andi's AA_Anykernel CM version and the vendor blobs.
His kernel fixes the battery drain issue.

Just remember that not everybody has the drain (I never have) so may not need Andis super Kernel and may be able to try others. FYI

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.

TamsuiCM11's CyanogenMod 11 rom download links for sony xperia miro(messona) are invalid

Hello. The problem is in the title. Where can I download this rom? (or any other rom running Android 4.4+)
Hi,
I´ve got a few files with the wayback machine.
Unfortunately i haven´t got everything as it simply wasn´t archived and the cm11 versions i have aren´t running great.
One didn´t boot up at all and the other had a lot of bugs.
So i stick to CM10 which is 99% working and i even found a OC custom kernel for pretty stable OC up to 1536Mhz.
I could upload it later if you want.
I also was able to fix the bluetooth audio routing issue in CM10 but i´m not quite sure which system file i replaced to fix that.

[Q] Why do some kernels work outside their intended Android versions and others don't?

I've recently installed the latest Hades ROM which is Android 10 on a friend's Note 8. I tried to pair it with the A2N kernel because it seems to be an incredibly good kernel... But it doesn't boot, or even go past the initial logo.
The problem is that on one of my phones, a Galaxy J5 2015, i can install any Android version while using the same kernel, Jet Cooled Kernel OC, which was made for Android 8. Tried it even on Android 11 and it works perfectly. Currently running AEX, Android 9, because it offers the most customization.
So why is that? Can somebody explain it to me? (To be clear, i'm not saying that people's work is poorly made or something.)
