Hi everyone.
I am looking for a custom Rom for the Samsng Tab Pro that is above Android 7.1.2.
I know the oreo update came with some major performance improvements and Pie came with customisation improvements.
I don't which version I get because I am after the performance enhancements more than anything as I have seen mid range devices with worse specs than the tab pro and perform a lot better because of the android version.
Hope some one can help.

Hi,
I received recently a Tab 2 (P5110) tablet and I would like to make the most of it. The latest stock rom is based on Android 4.1 or 4.2 but there are numerous roms that are based on more recent Android versions, namely 5 and 6.
My question is: from your experience, are these newer android releases (5 and 6) well adapted to the dated hardware of the Tab 2, or does performance take a hit when compared to the older 4.x (as is often the case with iPhones or Windows PCs)?
I would appreciate if you could also mention which specific rom(s) were better (or worse) in that respect.
Thanks!
Android 5 and 6 are slower than previous ones on this device. I use CyanogenMod 11 (4.4) and it's great
imo 4.4.4 is the last good android for this hardware, newer version were not design with 1gb of ram in mind.
Thanks!
I would guess that the main advantage of the 4.4 CM 11 is the removal of unnecessary apps.

Thanks for this good news. Do you know if the Galaxy S7 will soon get this new interface (with android 7.1.1 for example), or if we have to wait for the android O update ?

You're welcome. I also asked them few days ago will S7 get 7 1.1 Nougat and they told me: "YES. BUT WE ARE NOT SURE WHEN". I hope that they will bring it with 7.1.1. Also they didn't say with what version will S7 get new UI. If I find out I will let you know.

Google is set to release the next iteration of its Android OS Android O on 21 August which is the day of the US total solar eclipse. While we are just a day away from the launch, most of the smartphone manufacturers are now gearing up to provide the new update to their recently launched smartphones. As such, one of the top brands Samsung is also preparing for the update and is looking forward to providing Android O for its smartphones with its Grace UI on top which will be better optimized to run the software smoothly. While the company has been a bit slow in providing updates, hopefully, this time Samsung rolls out the update at a much faster pace.
Looking at Nougat, Samsung got the first updates out to the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge in China and the UK 143 days after Google released Android 7.0. The update took a grand total of 180 days to reach US shores, landing first on T-Mobile, followed by AT&T the day after and Sprint two days after that. Verizon hobbled across the finish line a couple of weeks later. -- What the actual f(*)ck, samsung?!
you might be right, mate!
Good news for s7 users. But android O is really worst than android N reported by some forums due to less root capabilites and different system structure.

Yes. I am tired of flashing s8 ports, aosp roms etc. They should release it for s7.
If someone would want to make an android oreo go rom, it might actually run. Because theses devices are really old and their performance is really bad. However Android go was designed to run on devices less powerful than the tab 3.
Would be awesome but I don't think that any developer will build a rom like this.
Probably nels83, this working in andreo oreo for this wonderful tablet.
I put cyanogenmod on it for the same reason, it is amazing the differents !
15k bunchmark before (kitkat 4.4.2), 22k now...
All work better, it has a wonderful fluidity than before.
Sry for my english

i would love to see Android 8.0 Go edition Rom get released for all Samsung galaxy Tab 3 10.1 varients on XDA so i dont stick with android 7.1 later in the future.
I suggest you change to title as it's misleading.
While I was going through some videos, came across Revolution OS. Wanted to get a bit more information regarding the custom MIUI ROM, but found none on XDA. So, went ahead and tried it, seems like it is a ported Android 10 MIUI 12 for Redmi Note 5 Pro, from Note 7. Not really buggy, but the devices heats up and the camera quality can be considered bad compared to other available ROMs. Overall available ram and animation speed seemed much better compared to Xioami.eu rom. Might need a bit more fixes here and there, before it can be considered a better alternative.
So, wanted to hear more about other people's experience regarding this particular rom.
Never knew about Android 10 port. Thanks for the info. I'll try it.
Revolution OS is a Spanish ROM with features mixed from Global and China Developer ROMs. It's very carefully tested to avoid issues within the users, and it has a strict policy about bug reporting or testing. Currently, that Android 10 ROM, with MIUI 12, is a port from Redmi Note 7, adapted to the peculiarities of Note 5 Pro. It will be improved over time, only it's a preliminary version.
Hello. Im planning to upgrade my phone to a 'gaming phone'. Which as follows:
Red Magic 6, Lenovo Legion Duel 2, Xiaomi mi 11 Pro, Asus ROG 5, Black shark 4 pro?
The main problem is with software updates. From what I can find online, about 3 of the 5 phones listed, have really bad support. Pretty sure some older models are still stuck on android 9 and 10 on the global versions. While on the CN version, they are regularly updated.
So I was wondering if I could use the CN ROM instead, if support for the global ROM dont exist. If anyone with experience could share the pros and cons or insights, it would greatly appreciated.
Sorry if I sound really noob, because when it comes to mods and stuff, I have no experience at all. I would have gone the easier route with samsung, but these phones have specs that I am interested in trying out. Just that it would suck if I missed out on future android updates, like android 12 or something.
Thanks yall.

I think global roms are better than China roms here's why
First reason why global roms has google apps pre-installed
While china roms only have google apps installed on older china roms devices the newer phones with china rom does not have google apps pre-installed u could try flashing a custom rom to get google Apps pre-installed but I don't know exactly if it's gonna work
Second reason why global rom Is better is the bugs
On china rom their more bugs than global rom
Third reason why it's better is how it feels global roms feels better than China roms because global rom feels faster than China rom
