I have the Samsung model number gt-p7500R. It's gotten very very slow and I can't update past android 4.0.4. I can't even get most apps because of the Android version. How can I update to a newer android version and maybe help the speed a bit?
Find a Custom Recovery ( like CWM and /or TWRP ) and find a Custom Rom, both suitable to the phone.
Once both found, flash the Custom Recovery and if successful then from within the Custom Recovery flash the Custom ROM.

I'm pretty new and don't know how to do what you suggested. Is there a forum post with step by step instructions?

I'm new to rooting and flashing roms and I'm getting really confused regarding the procedure to install custom recovery and custom rom.
My main points of confusion are-
1. In stock recovery we have a option to "Update from sd card" . Why can't we directly flash a custom rom from there and need a custom recovery.
2. If signature and verification is the problem regarding the first point then how can we root and flash custom recovery using update from sd card.
WHY DOESN'T ANY SIGNING OR VERIFICATION PROBLEM OCCUR WHILE FLASHING ROOT PACKAGE OR CUSTOM RECOVERY PACKAGE.
Like any other custom rom package they are also unsigned.
Kindly explain me. Thanks.

Hello,
The stock recovery is a minimal, limited system. It can generally only flash OTA updates and ROMs provided by the device’s manufacturer, not third-party ROMs
A custom recovery is a third-party recovery environment. Flashing this recovery environment onto your device replaces the default, stock recovery environment with a third-party, customized recovery environment. It does same thing as stock one, but with additional features.

I completely agree on that one BUT how do you install a custom recovery because it is a unsigned package(3rd party package) and so the stock recovery won't allow it to get installed.

I think before flashing recovery, you have to root the phone first.

What help exactly ? Finding a custom ROM for your phone or installing one.if its installing one just head on to recovery mode ,click install and then choose the .zip file of the ROM to install .after that install gapps for the new ROMs android versions and then a SuperSU.zip file after. And reboot system after.
I wanted to know if it is possible to change the version of android
By cyanogenmod or custom rom
If you could, could you give me a tip
How to do or tutorial something that helps?
First what is your device ? I think everybody have to start somewhere, so I have to know what is your device and see what is available for it.
But similar process for most of the cases ; root your device (try one click root like king root app or if it doesn't work try other methods for your device) then flash a custom recovery (TWRP) , into it you would be able to install (flash) custom Roms , and when it's done, just download the custom ROM , the Gapps according to the custom ROM Android version and your device architecture and then boot to recovery, make a Nandroid backup (backup everything in TWRP) then wipe system,data,cache,and delavik cache , flash the ROM, flash the Gapps and reboot.
But all the process (rooting, custom recovery etc) depends of your device
Is the galaxy lite 3 wanted to put the version
4.4.2 or +
Only that it does not exist nowhere, this custom or cyanogenmod
That's why I came here.

To flash a Custom ROM a Custom Recovery is needed to achieve this.
Hence as 1st thing of all things search for a Custom Recovery suitable to this phone.
How do I update this tablet to the latest android status. Currently it is 5.1.1 and is virtually useless. Please help
What you should do as 1st thing of all things in order to upgrade
1. Find a matching Custom ROM (of your choice) suitable to this tablet
2. If found then find a Custom Recovery suitable for this tablet
What you should do then
1. Flash Custom Recovery
2. Flash Custom ROM via Custom Recovery

That's fine but how do I upgrade step by step as I have no idea how to do this. And the galaxy view is a tablet.
The steps you're told. Typically you do a Google search ...
BTW: I know device is a tablet.
Ok, I've searched google for custom roms but it is for a TM670. Will that still work?
