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!

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.
Hello dear community,
I've got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 running the latest version of LineageOS with the pico OpenGapps package and the tablet is randomly rebooting while using it and even when I'm not using it. Furthermore different apps keep crashing. The tablet than says, that the specific app is not working anymore.
I tried some other ROMs and it didn't help. I tried to reflash stock Android and it didn't help either. This problem appears on every ROM, even on the Stock ROM by Samsung.
Is there any solution to my problem?
I'm using this combo (kernel DhollmenM + cm-13.0-20161001 from MARKOX89) and don't get any reboot problem. Latest LineageOS doesn't give any new features and stock kernel doesn't support overclock, that's why I'm not using it.

Hello there. I have a Samsung QE43Q60A TV.
I want to cast the audio from the TV to my phone/tablet with the use of Smart Things app. GUESS WHAT?! It's not possible on most of the SAMSUNG devices that I have tried.
THEY ALL HAVE BEEN UPDATED AS WELL AS THE SMATTHINGS APP.
Let's sum it up:
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 (Android Pie, unrooted but knox flagged) : NOT POSSIBLE
- Samung Galaxy M31 (Android 11, unrooted) : NOT POSSIBLE
- Samsung Galaxy S7 (Android Pie ported rom, rooted): NOT POSSIBLE.
- Samsung Galaxy A71 (Android 11, not rooted): POSSIBLE
- Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 (Note 10 Lite port of Android 10, rooted) : POSSIBLE.*
*previously tried with the TW stock Oreo rom and another port, but on Pie and it was NOT working.
Guess what?? The A71 is pretty useless to me and the A5 2017 is SUPER SLOW.
I have found no way to make this feature work on those other devices. Rooting those recent devices is out of questions. I have tried both the Play Store and Galaxy store version. Useless.
Any help? Thank you

Hello Everyone,
I have a tablet of the Samsung brand.
Samsung T230, Galaxy Tab4 7.0 Wi-Fi (SM-T230)
Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 - Full tablet specifications
www.gsmarena.com
Looking at all the posts that have ROMS available, I am confused as to select which one.
I am looking for a stable release of the most latest version possible which will perform the following.
1. Removed Bloatware
2. Improved Performance
3. Updated Youtube and Youtube Kids
4. Wi-Fi should work
I saw quite a few ROMS however, some are saying that they only work Snapdragon versions, some degaswifi mentioned which is a new word for me.
I would appreciate anyone who could assist in selection. I am familiar with the process of getting root access and installing TWRP.
Please Help.
Thanks.
