Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 upgrade - Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development

Good evening,
I restarted my old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 after a long time. However, it is now slow and I can no longer install recent apps. I like the apps I like to use are Onedrive, Word, Outlook.. Which software should I upgrade the tablet to, so that I can use Onedrive, Word apps?
I have read up a bit but otherwise I am a layman.. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Androd 6 is the best option. But reccently there is an android 8 rom developed for tab 2. I myself haven't tried it but you can have a look at the thread here.
These are some best roms:
Resurrection remix : https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAAegQICBAC&usg=AOvVaw1PxtYepshuVJGhwILyAok1
This is the best as per my experience. Its Android 6 and also fast. It is fastest without gapps and I'll recommend don't install them since Microsft apps work without play services.
Lineage os 13 : https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjABegQIAxAC&usg=AOvVaw0ngVERkcUHwdW6OdL7FTx8
This is another great one and works well. Again, with gapps it's slow (and mostly all roms are). Its an Android 6 rom.
Slimrom 4.4 : https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAAegQIAxAC&usg=AOvVaw1pIY6ZrmjDiXzCAxuW-p9R
To be honest, this rom would have been the first in my list but it isn't because it's kitkat (android 4.4.4) and that means less apps support. It is faster than android 6 roms and also stable.
Last suggestion : don't go for android 7 roms. Without gapps they are as slow as android 6 roms with gapps.

If we install without gapps whats the best way to get apps like Facebook and youtube if we don't have playstore?

Idk if facebook needs gapps or not, but normal youtube will not work without them, there's things like microg and vanced.

Use aurora store to get apps from google play store without gapps.
Simple and easy all you need is fdroid store and you'll find all apps you need there including youtube apps like newpipe, libretube, etc..
Start exploring life without gapps, it's less stressful for your device and your life

can you have the stoke rom of samsung galxy tab 2 10.1 like icechream sandwhich

Good night
I know this forum is old and this topic will be somewhat forgotten, but after some hard work and tinkering that I have put into these teams, I decided to share my experiences and recommendations for their devices.
To begin with, in recent times all computers with versions prior to 6.0 and all those related to Marshmallow are becoming obsolete, adding versions such as Dhollmen, RRemix or Cyanogenmod 13, which although remarkably stable, many programs have already lost their compatibility, but very soon i found a solution for these problems.
Inquiring in the Microg forums there is talk of a native Spofing support for Omniroms, and with this in mind I decided to try the latest version of Nougat to see what result can be achieved, and since then I continue using this system that has given me so far good results.
for all devices (P31XX and P51XX) I use Anykernel created by Android-Andi: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kernel-unified-anykernel.3484739/page-11#post-79313152
Link of the Omniroms build forums (choose your corresponding model):
Downloads for : Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 | AndroidFileHost.com | Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
androidfilehost.com
And for great performance use Nanodroid Microg:
Nanolx.org Downloads Archive
I flash this and at boot up active from "microg settings" all the boxes are empty.
So far for those who read it, leave your comments, finally I only have a problem that is when trying to put full screen on YouTube, which until now I have not found a solution but I can live with it.

Do these ROMs have the slight but constant micro-stuttering that the stock ROM has?
I guess all these ROMs are loaded with Google's stuff?
With the exception of Play Store I'd like to be free of the Google fleet of useless apps.
It's great that you've been able to port these ROMs. I hope a lot of people use them. I just have different needs! Tx.

Yes, all of them. You can "freeze" or delete unwanted Google apps. Do it manually or try to find scripts which can do this automatically.
Hi, I was thinking to buy this tablet.
Can these ROMs fix the issue of too high brightness even at the lowest level?
If not can you recommend a free application to solve the problem?
Better this or teclast m89 pro? Thanks.

To solved this brightness issue I use the sFilter app or any other blue light filter app.
But to tell the truth, I wouldn't recommend to buy any Teclast tablet. I have a problem where he doesn't accept the installation of Instagram or Facebook app. I saw that many people have the same problem.
Anyone else with this problem or know how to solve?

I added solution, check it and let me know if it works for u
It's possible to change brightness limits manually by editing firmware files, If there's a big problem for u and other users I can change its' range sometime. Just let me know what firmware u are using.
Hello dev!
Are you still working on this device firmware? I bought it this month and not even on official site could find updates for, so I don't know if there is any firmware that I should update before using these that you made...
I'm using Pixel Experience and found it great. But I had problems with the initial setup, which always had trouble trying to recover the configuration of another device. When I checked to set up as a new device it work fine.
I could not open Magisk too, but i wanted to disable it and remove, but always shows error when trying. I'll try MIUI in sequence to see if I can.
Another question: The modified Stock has gapps included? (and can I remove root?)
Thank you so much for your work, I was happy to know that have other firmware for this tablet.
PS.: sorry for the "google translator english", my english is poor. lol

I used the modified rom too and liked a lot, but I couldn't install some apps through the playstore and had problems to remove root (Magisk). So I installed ASUS ROM and it is very stable and everything is working great. I'll leave it and see what happens!
Thanks!

Hello!
1) There is no more firmwares to port for our device. Also I don't know much about modding firmwares, so Pixel was my first successful experiment.
2) Latest official firmware for our device is TOS v2.1 which can be found in appropriative thread here. Seems no more updates will be released for our device.
3) Restoring function is bad idea esp on custom ROM. You should always make clean installation.
4) Custom ROMs can only boot with root access (e.g. Magisk). You cant uninstall it. In other case your device wont boot (Android 7.0 classical issue). P.S Magisk is not like "classic" root, so you can "hide" it for apps that don't work on rooted device.
5) Of course stock ROM includes Gapps. All made changes are listed in topic. Root can'f be removed on any custom ROM (see p.4).

Thank you!
I gave the tablet to my son, the Stock ROM that came on it is'nt good and so I put the ASUS ZenUI ROM. (After testing all others)
I hide Magisk and the ROM is working perfectly.
Thank you so much for the great work.
Happy 2020.

Jelly 2 firmware made available by Unihertz

A post to let people interested in small Android phones know that the firmware of the Jelly 2 has been made available by Unihertz. Would be great if a LineageOS version of this could be made.

The Jelly 2 seems to have very similar hardware to the Atom XL, same CPU and GPU for a start. I think the device tree from the XL can be used as a baseline to create a device tree and build LineageOS for the Jelly 2:

I would be so happy if someone did this!!
I briefly started looking at this yesterday evening, though no promises at this point. This is the first time I'm trying to build a custom rom from almost nothing, so it will take some time to get it right.
I haven't yet received the device, and won't be able to test anything at this point, but I've forked the LOS17.1 repo and started extracting relevant files from system.img and vendor.img. I'd be very happy to collaborate with someone that have more experience building custom roms, or even pass the ball!
I just got one yesterday to play with and noticed that I can't seem to unlock the bootloader. Haven't done much digging into it yet

Me too! Really want it!
The official forum of Unihertz is down and the link to the Google Drive is also unreachable. Is there any other links to download these files?
wrong topic
And you can still use the Drive link. You just need to request access.
Yesterday I installed Android 11. Took me a while to get it working on Windows 11. But after three hours of fiddling I finally succeeded. Install all driver packages provided by Unihertz! I even went as far as manually installing the inf files in the first package. When you want to scan the com ports, turn the phone off en press up + down volume when connecting USB. Only then will the com port become available.
And disable driver signing in boot options, the test-mode and signage-off mode don't work for drivers (Windows 10 commands).
Battery usage has improved massively, approximately 3% drainage per hour stand by. Notification LED still not working. But, fingerprint reader works in banking apps. I came from Meetoul's LoS18.1, which was near perfect. But the battery drainage was getting on my nerves. Overall quite happy with Android 11, even if it's only been 20 hours.
Curious how things are going here. How did the Android 11 test go? Any updates on dev?
Am watching for development of the Jelly 2. I think this device would be an excellent candidate for a vanilla Android OS. I'd buy one from Unihertz to use as a daily driver if it came with the possibility of AOSP

Are the ROMs on the google drive stock ROMs ? The Unihertz forum seems to be gone other than their social media. Been a big fan of Unihertz products but been away from them for awhile until I saw the Jelly 2 specs. It seems a lot of the info on rooting and TWRP that was on the Unihertz forum is nowhere else to be found.
Most threads here on rooting seem to have links referencing the absent Unihertz forum and a reference to reddit also seems missing info. I made the first TWRP for the Unihertz Atom so I guess I can probably work through getting the Jelly 2 rooted and TWRP on it but if anyone knows other sources with more complete information please post here.

IN2013 - latest update just killed my phone, should I downgrade or use a custom rom?

Hey~
So its been a while since I've updated my device to android 12, build number IN2013_11_C.16
and its just buggy in basically any aspect, making the phone very annoying to use
When I was on android 11, the phone was perfect and everything worked fine.
What would be the best approach? I use banking apps and Gpay daily in my everyday life so its very important
Rolling back to android 11 - if that's possible (?) would be my best option original rom will keep the google pay and banking apps working right>?
If rolling back to previous firmware is not possible then
Using a custom rom with Gapps could work? - I think I've seen somewhere lineage os with Gmicro apps, will it work with Gpay since its not an "original" rom ?
Really appreciate the help guys, its been a few years since I've played with phones firmware and as I can see stuff' changed.
If you've never flashed a custom ROM, I would recommend you just roll back to Android 11.
Luckily, Oneplus offers an official package that let's you downgrade back to Android 11 from C.16.
THIS is the official Oneplus thread for the C.16 update. On that page, there is a .zip package you can install to rollback to Android 11. The page also includes pretty detailed instructions, pretty easy to follow.
On that forum post, look for the section "Rollback guide—via Local OTA update"
If you want to try a custom ROM though, I recommend HavocOS for Android 11, or Nameless AOSP for Android 12. Those are the best ROMs in their respective category in my opinion. AICP also looks promising it needs a few fixes but I believe in our savior semdoc

Is there Android higher Android ROMs on Samsung Galaxy Young S6310?

That's my question basically.... I REALLY want a newer android than Lollipop (the highest android mod I found here). Is there? I found this webpage https://tweakdroid.com/lineage/samsung-galaxy-young-gt-s6310-royss/ that says it's possible, but they don't have the ROM available, so I'm skeptical. I really want a ROM like that to exist because I want to move back to my old phone, as I'm addicted to my current one, but I still want to be able to use WhatsApp and Google Maps.
Thanks for reading, and any help would be greatly appreciated!

[ROM] LineageOS for microG download on Samsung Galaxy S5 plus (SM-G901F)

let me start of by saying i found it difficult to navigate to the right place to post, I hope this is the right place if not please provide me a link to where i should re-post this ( :
i am also a noobie to the android shenanigans, i mean i do know my way around this phone, just not with android modding (/ romming) terms
i am searching for a lineage for microg files for preferably the most recent version. i found a way to build (or download) lineage, but not microg, which is something i would like. alternatively i would like a different rom that is privacy and security focussed (and primairily degoogled like microg) and works with this phone.
ive found plenty guides on how to install lineage as well as having read through their installation docs a few times, so i think all i need is someone with more experience within this scene to give me a helping hand ( :
thanks in advance
