Using the P3100 in 2019, Best ROM? - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys, the P3100 was my introduction to Android. It's near and dear to me, so I decided to charge up my tab and use it. It's been like a year since I charged it. Currently it is running Candy 5 , but I think it's too heavy for it.. causes lags and stutters and the device heats up a lot. So can you recommend me a usable ROM that is light and stable? It doesn't matter if it is an old android version, I'm just gonna use it for reading PDFs and light YouTube may be.
Thank You?

LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2). Works stable but sometimes it slows down after boot (requires reboot for fixing).

Does LineageOS actually have better performance over stock ROM, e.g. for web browsing? I have rotated this device to a member of my family but it's no longer up to the task, I wonder if I should just phase it out or it can still be usable.

I am using Sungsonic due to it being stock 4.2.2
Tried lot of custom aosp roms even nougat but stability and battery life not good so now trying stock based ROMs

tbh, I haven't seen rom that has smoothly working youtube yet. Well this tablet is too old for most tasks today so you can't expect like smooth web browsing. Imo 4.4.4 aosp or any other 4.4 rom is the best for this device, all other 5.0+ roms are unstable for me.

I need help with this anyone. I decide to used my old P3100 as a media pad in the home. To be connected to my Samsung Soundbar/TV as music media pad.
I need a very ligth stock rom with Double Tap 2 wake or Lift/Raise to wake as I am done with searching power button devices. So it can be easy to use.
I am looking to use Sungsonic HD ROM because of the Sound MOD. Any better suggestions?
Thanks.

[Q] Any Word on the Samsung Dart custom roms?

not sure if this is where to post this, but looked and didn't see anything about the dart, i ended up garbing one because i needed a android for my secondary phone. but i am finding the default build T-Mobile has on this this is a bit unstable at the best of times. So was wondering if anyone is working on some custom builds for this little phone
You can use the Canadian version from madteam.co/forum/development-70/(archive)-stock-roms-and-tools/
It doesn't have all the extra T-mobile crap on it, very stock rom. They also have CyanogenMod running on it, it's quickly getting there but still has some work to get it finished.
yes they or making roms for dart

[Q] Miui 2.4.6 Catalyst?

Does the rom miui 2.4.6 have the deep idle patch installed already? Sorry to post in here i tried to post in the thread but i can't as I don't have more than 10 posts. Only asking cause last time I installed it it didn't ever seem to show a Top=off or Top=on Value..
Thanks.
If your talking about the miui from China or miuiandroid.com then no. The stock builds of miui don't have the fix implemented
Some of the miui roms here have the fix, like kong's MIUI and Oodies
Noooo. Not the official rom. You kinda answered my question with that though i meant Kongs rom. Cheers
Only problem is though, last time i used that it never used to show anything on the deep idle counter like TOP=ON AND OFF were always 0 but normal idle was always a really high number. Which lead me to believe that deep idle wasn't working..?
it shows zero for me too

Alright, thanks mate

on MIUIExperience V4, only DI TOP=ON.

For me using MIUI Catalyst 2.4.6 and Matrix 19 cfs i get top on and top off. Try opening and closing the camera app then checking a bit later.

Moonlight Android - Incorrect PIN

When I'm trying to connect my Galaxy s7 edge with Moonlight to Nvidia Experience, it says "Incorrect PIN" even though it's the right PIN? I've tried to uninstall both apps, but it didn't help. What do I do?
Same problem for me!
Yep, same here. Plz help..

In the meantime, I got it to work by downgrading Experience to 2.10.
Edit: Experience just auto updates back to 2.11 and breaks itself...
+1 on reverting to GFE 2.10. Works flawlessly with that. Just uninstall GFE 2.11 and install 2.10. There must be a way to stop the auto-update.
I released Moonlight Android v4.5.6 which fixes this error.

Call Recording

Hi guys, i'm no longer able to record my calls... i previosly use the app total recall... but when i updated to android oreo 8.1 doesn't work.. anyone can help me??
I'm in the same boat. Check this thread -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/to-root-verizon-pixel-xl-downgrading-to-t3738613
basically, Google blocked the call recording APIs by default starting with 8.0. You'll need root access to get around it.
So there are no solution about it?

Try ACR. It works fine and I'm running 8.1. Although my device is rooted.
