Hey,
I am on my last ditch attempt of a fix here, I have installed multiple roms to my P3110 and whenever I play on specific games the device slows them down, the sound and the game play around 50% slower than normal.
I have tried CM12, Candy5, SlimLP, Slimkat and the only fix I have is to go to Stock 4.4.2 Jellybean and lose move to SD Card functionality.
Any assistance would be appreciated as I was using this tablet for my sons xmas present and would love more app space.
Thanks.
*EDIT* It seems any other jellybean rom works, it just has trouble with KitKat and Lollipop...
Hello, and Merry Christmas.
I am going to have this thread moved to the Galaxy Tab 2 help forum, where there will be experts with your device that can help you resolve your issue.
Best of luck!

The thing is you need not need a custom rom. Stock roms is better, As there is this app called XPOSED which have a lots of facilities like moving obb files to sd card by just copying it to sd card, changing the navigation bar to the lolipop nav bar etc...it is a useful app. Here is the link install this app and install the framework and reboot once. Then search for obb 2 sd In modules., install that and reboot. Now once u have dwnloaded a game with obb open it once and then close it. Now you can move thae obb file to sd card in folder android» obb.
Here is the link for xposed.http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer.

I've tried Xposed but it isn't working correctly, and I was having an issue with the device being slow beforehand so I thought I'd use a lighter rom and everything ran perfect bar gaming apps...

Greetings;
Stock ROM's are the Safer (Less Bugs) but have tons of garbage (Bloatware). Wich Consumes quite some Battery and Memmory.
Custom ROM's on the other Hand can have tons of Bugs, Perform Faster, Consume More Battery if they are Cyanogen Mods, and sometimes Brick your Device.
In any case fear not. As it is most likely to be solved quite easily.
I'm not Expert on This Specific Device (actually just got this tablet), but the solutions are very similar for each Samsung Android Device, ROM Version or Other Brand.
1) Download your p3110 ROM (Stock ROM) (You can get it from Sammobile Website)
2) Perform a Clean Flash (You can check my Thread for i9003-SL in order to know how to perform a Clean Flash)
Thread for i9003-SL Flashing Tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-sl/general/rgxhost-ddlf2-complete-tutorial-t2837212)
[IMPORTANT REMINDER]
- The Thread Link i Mention Above is Just for Reference on how to Perform a Clean Install;
- The Files in that Thread ARE NOT for your Galaxy Tab S2;
... The Thread serves for Reference so you can Learn on how to do things Properly.
3) When your Device Starts on it's 1st System Load, interrupt it and boot it under "Recovery Mode"
4) Under Recovery Mode; Clean Dalvik, Cache, and then Perform a Factory Reset. (Don't worry if you don't have the Wipe Cache or Dalvik Options; you can skip these and direclty go for the "Factory Reset" option)
Note: Personally i prefer to clean both 1st, and only then perform the "Factory Reset". But that means you have to Flash ClockWork Mod Recovery in first place.
You system should now be like it came from Factory.
Also: I'm not entirely aware or "Triangle issue".
I mean, this device comes with Flash Counter. Therefore if the Triangle comes up, i really can't help you. At least not yet. As i've never had such problem.
If you happen to get this issue: Search for p3110 thread: "Triangle Away"
Let me know how it went for you.

If u get that triangle problem just connect your device to pc and start flashing using odin like you did before.
I have the same device I had the same issue.
But remember this thing, if u get stuck in boot loop after flashing firmware using odin just try going to the recovery and then perform a factory reset. Then you are all set to go..

Thumbs Up m8!
The thread i mentioned about the "Triangle Away" (i just made a quick reading so far) felt like it was more difficult to solve than that.
Thanks for the Info. I was kinda worried on what to do when i get that "Triangle".
So, a Clean Flash and / or Factory Reset would Solve the Problem? Just That?
Hi,
I was on Cataclysm and tried today to move to PureNexus and Chroma, but when I finished I only got 5 apps installed. In both methods I made a clean install: system, data, dalvik, cache. I checked sum5 when I downloaded twice the files needed for installating. The reason I move to a new room is because Cataclysm is not supported anymore and I wanted to have the last Google security patches.
When I boot and appear the pop window detailing the apps installing, I can see that some of them are not installed because it goes from app nº1 to nº4, for instance. I´m in TWRP 2.8.0.3.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks.
Done, it seems it was the TWRP version. I updated to 3.0.2 and solved it.
Step 0: introduction
Hello everyone. As you may or may not know, after unlocking, rebranding, updating and patching our P9's, we can now install a part of a big universe of brand new Treble ROMs into our devices. An example of that kind of ROMs is the OpenKirin team's AOSP-based ROMs, AndyYan's LineageOS or phhusson's Phh-Treble for a barebones pure Android experience.
But that experience so far is far from perfect. Aside from Q ROMs not booting yet on hi3650 devices like ours, some features may be missing such as camera support, GApps or [insert favorite mod here] which come in the form of flashable zips. A major problem now is that our phone's internal storage must always be encrypted at every ROM install. This poses some problems such as:
* Having to install Huawei's stock recovery every time you need to do a factory reset otherwise your brand new ROM is not booting when you wipe with TWRP.
* Not being able to flash ZIPs in TWRP from the internal storage.
* Having to install custom ROMs by flashing to /system through fastboot which is slow and can be interrupted
* On a fresh ROM boot, the phone takes extra time to encrypt and then on every subsequent boot it will take longer to boot.
Encryption brings extra security, but at the cost of usability and speed. Luckily for us, it can be disabled in favor of having a more traditional custom ROM + TWRP flashing workflow. This can be done by editing a fstab file in our device's vendor partition. Once the procedure is done you will be able to:
* do factory resets from TWRP without problems
* mount internal storage in TWRP and flash ZIPs without problems
* not need to juggle .img files to switch recoveries because everything will be possible from TWRP
Note: This effect is permanent. No need to do it again. You can also easily reverse it manually.
WARNING: YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE MUST BE WIPED CLEAN. BACKUP ANY IMPORTANT DATA TO AN EXTERNAL STORAGE BEFOREHAND. YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR FILES AND APPS.
Note: If you ever decide to reflash your stock EMUI firmware, remember that your device will be re-encrypted. If you get stuck at the boot logo after going back to EMUI from a decrypted device, reboot manually to recovery, do a factory reset in the stock recovery and try again.
Required:
* A backup of your important data
* A computer
* working Android install with root
* A working ADB/fastboot environment
* A USB-C cable with data connections
* Pretoriano80's TWRP for Treble-enabled Huawei P9
Your ROM, custom kernels and Magisk will survive the procedure. Don't worry about them.
Step 1: Modify the vendor fstab
Using MiXplorer, navigate to /vendor/etc. We're going to modify the fstab.f2fs.hi3650 file. Back it up in your SD card, because the internal storage will be wiped clean so if you mess the process up you don't want to lose it. Now open the original file with a text editor and edit it, go to the line that contains /data and change the forceencrypt word to encryptable.
Step 2: Flash TWRP
Through Fastboot, install Pretoriano80's TWRP. This is the best TWRP available for our device.
Code:
# fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
For the next step, we need to reboot to the recovery.
Code:
# fastboot reboot recovery
Step 3: Format internal storage
On TWRP, back your internal storage up if you haven't already. This is your last chance to do a backup.
After that, wipe your internal storage. Go to Wipe -> Format Data and confirm. The deed is done.
Now boot your system. ROMs should no longer push their encryption on you, and you can now mount the internal storage in TWRP.

This part is confusing, how to modify fstab?
copy pasted a guide from other users. You shouldnt modify anything and the decryption is a one time story, it breaks after first use.
I tested it on my P9 Plus & it worked man, thank you so much <3

1. No, it doesn't. I tried switching between several "Open"Kirin ROMs and GSIs using a TWRP flash+factory reset workflow, it works well.
2. This entire forum is either sparse solutions spread in deep crevices or hacks from juggling files and editing words in text...surely the guides are so unique, reformatting /data after removing its forceencrypt attribute in /etc/fstab is so unique and special! I'm not trying to throw down zgfg's effort but again, that guide was confusing and required juggling three TWRP copies. I'm just trying to make anyone unfortunate enough to still need to have one of these devices to be able to lessen the pain in the behind that is working with ancient unmaintained Treble implementations, buggy sdcardfs drivers, obscure camera interfaces, broken audio routing and drivers, and secretive ROM cooks who won't share their secret fixes restricting the universe of good ROMs to their own proprietary ROMs that don't get updated, or get updated once every 6 months. Sadly I don't have the time or resources to set a build farm or cook my own ROMs (you probably already know, hundreds of GBs downloaded and 6GB+ of RAM used) Please don't be like this, I like your work.

With TWRP, mount /vendor. Then, use TWRP's ADB shell capabilities. Open a command prompt in your computer, and type 'adb shell' and enter. Then, navigate to /vendor/etc/, with the command 'cd /vendor/etc'. Then using vi or nano, edit the fstab.hi3650 file.
Look for the entry that starts with /data. Replace in the same line, 'forceencrypt' with 'encryptable'. Then save, wipe /data and reboot. Remember to investigate thoroughly for consequences and side effects on everything you do.
Btw, developing discussion and instructions from early 2019 about decrypting Data and Internal memory on P9 Oreo - decryption can be done also by use of TWRP instead of manually editing fstab:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/emui-8-decryption-guide-wipe-t3906245
And a revised summary:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80029346&postcount=1843
They were not necessarily targeting GSI but (at that time) OpenKirin ROMs.
Also, doesn't matter if for EVA AL10, DL00, etc.
Also for stock EMUI 8, but to be able to fully use TWRP (nandroid backup, wiping Dalwik - it's on Data partition, installing zip or img files from Internal memory instead from SD card)
Btw, instead of Terminal and Vi editor (for most of nowadays users their parents were not born yet in the era of pre-WYSIWYG editors, and I doubt if 0.1% would be familiar to navigate with Vi to a particular line and to delete/replace or insert something), one can simply use standard tools like MiXPlorer (root explorer) with its integrated text editor.
In MiXPlorer choose Root, grant the root access, visually navigate to /vendor/etc, click on fstab.hi3650 file, open as Text and edit without frustrations like with Vi editor ?

Thanks for that, I revised and simplified the guide as much as possible.
btw, my P9 is now a secondary device meaning that I can experiment a little more on it. I can't build ROMs for now but will try to create a barebones kernel with useful features.

@ant0nwax and me did use decrypted storage with b540, see the post #6 above:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83386207&postcount=6
Specially, look at the second post linked there (post was in HWOTA7 thread):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80029346&postcount=1843
There was one catch there (was written for b540):
zgfg said:
Reboot to TWRP and perform the following, in this order:
- Wipe, Swipe to factory reset (not Advanced Wipe, neither Format Data)
- Install three ZIPs (all ogether, in queue): update_data_full_public.zip (from b540 download), b540-update_full_EVA-AL10_all_cn.zip (from b540 download, but fixed by Tecalote to be flashable by TWRP) and Enable-Huawei-OTA.zip (from Tecalote's OP instructions)

If I recall correctly after the long time ,(year and a half) - when you format Data you have to restore your b550 part that was installed to Data.
You must not use eRecovery bcs it would encrypt Data again.
Hence you must flash b550 by TWRP and there was a problem with that all_cn zip at that time, reporting me an error (cannot find now TWRP logs from that time to see what was the problem)
I discussed then with @Tecalote and he corrected me the script from the original update all_cn zip for b540 that TWRP was able to flash
As a result, we had EMUI 8, b540 with decrypted storage, giving to TWRP the full access to Data and Internal memory
It was also possible to go back to EMUI 8 with encrypted storage, basically by putting back stock Recovery, by installing latest firmware from eRecovery and by performing Factory reset with Wiping the cache
@Wattsensi: unfortunately, It doesn't work like this in my case. After switching to Chinese EMUI 8, I install Play Store, login to my Google Account and do Play Store things.
After modifying that file in Vendor, I go to recovery, wipe internal storage, wipe Data and restart.
At this moment, it's like after a factory reset, I have to start all over again, but I'm not encrypted.
Well, no matter what I do, I can't login to Google. I open Play Store, it tries to log me in ( the big circles started to spin), at that moment Play Store closes. I go to Accounts and try to login to my Google account from there, same thing. So, for me, Emui 8 is usable only before decryption.
I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

This is indeed strange, and I do not recall the Chinese ROMs having Google services by default, you had to install GApps if I'm not wrong. Try flashing pico OpenGapps for 8.0 ARM64, wiping cache and doing a factory reset again. Sometimes GApps have issues when you don't flush the cache between fresh installs.

Be careful. Chinese EMUI 8 does come with Google Play Services (OP posts in HWOTA7 thread) and one only needs to install Google Play app.
Google Play Services were also preinstalled for users who recently updated to b550.
Btw, you didn't write are you on Al10c00b550 or what, but you also wrote that you had Playstore working on EMUI 8 before decrypting and formatting Data
Anyway, before installing MicroG, Open GApps or something, inspect do you still have or not Google Play Services installed.
There are apps like Play Services Info to inspect if Google Play Services, Google Services Framework and Google Play Store are installed (and what are their versions).
E.g, use this app from ApkMirror (since you cannot look for them and install from Playstore):
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/weberdo/play-services-info/
(Not sure would it work installing Open GApps if stock Google Play Services are still beneath)
Thank you, guys gor your help. Yes, Ch EMUI comes with Google Play Services, one normally has to install only Google Play.
At the moment I'm just setting up my phone with the Lineage OS MicroG Pie ROM and I'm really enjoining it, but as soon as I decide to try something else, I'll put your suggestions to use.
Hi There,
My happiness was short-lived while Flashing an Old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100.
The Progress I made so far was:
1. ODIN Flashing
2. Able to Install TWRP Recoveries
3. Copied LineageOS and GApps all said Successfully installed
4. Finally rebooted after doing some cache cleaning, but the LineageOS logo appears in the boot and remained booting for about 2 hours. I lost my patience afterward and I switched off the Tab.
5. Tried restarting but the same LineageOS screen goes on and on doesn't bring the setup screen.
I am so curious to know
1. is there People in here who successfully installed LineageOS 14 and booted successfully?
2. How long did the initial boot take?

If I am to redo the process again, please correct if I should do the following
1. I have successfully installed TWRP hence I reckon I don't need to do it again
2. I will download the latest LineageOS and GApps and copy it to Internal Storage
3. Install both using TWRP
4. Clear cache
5. Reboot.
I hope I am doing correctly?

Normally that's the procedure right ??? Even I never wiped internal storage but I did if the rom would give problems. And since there are problems for him (which I never faced installing any lineage rom) maybe wiping everything might work.

Hi, I'm too trying to get a bit more life out of my ageing Tab 2 I've been following the instructions on the LineageOS website but I don't seem to be able to find the link to the actual ROM. I download a twrp file but that was only a few MB and obviously the ROM is much bigger.
I'd be grateful if somebody could point me at the link to where the ROM actually is.
Many Thanks

OK I've obviously over estimated my technical abilities. Does anybody have a idiots guide to flashing a Tab 2?
I'm trying to flash the device with Heimdall and the twrp img file and putting in the commands and I'm getting the device '\\.\usb longidnumber' is no longer connected!
It worked once but I let the device reboot normally so it didn't go into TWRP mode and now I can't seem to reflash it if I boot it into recovery mode I get the normal Android options.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Normally that's the procedure right ??? Even I never wiped internal storage but I did if the rom would give problems. And since there are problems for him (which I never faced installing any lineage rom) maybe wiping everything might work.

I'm trying to flash the device with Heimdall and the twrp img file and putting in the commands and I'm getting the device '\\.\usb longidnumber' is no longer connected!
It worked once but I let the device reboot normally so it didn't go into TWRP mode and now I can't seem to reflash it if I boot it into recovery mode I get the normal Android options.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yay it's working and running Android 7.1.
I am having a problem getting the Google Play store working, I've downloaded the APKs for the Play Store and Google Play Services from APK Mirror. But when I launch the Play Store app it crashes when I hit the button to sign in.
Suggestions please.
Thanks
Steve

Installing apka is not going to install gapps. You need to install a gapps zip while installing the rom. That means, now you'll have to download gapps zip i am giving you and then again wipe system, data, dalvic cache and then install rom and then gapps zip.

Lol good luck with gapps and lag lool..
Do your homework before you do something! Android 7 + gapps = mega lag = unusable.
Read some more ... and stop listening people without proper knowledge.
Tip: don't use gapps at all, specially on prehistoric devices.

Yeah it was quite slow when it started up, but I disabled stuff I don't need and blocked some more from running in the background and while it's never going to be super whizzy it will be usable.
Thanks to everyone for their help, onto my old Note 10.1 now

Try android 6 roms and android 4.4.4 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 but if you are going to install some apps, not all of them might function correctly without gapps.
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)
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 (4.4.4) and that means less apps support. It is fast and stable.
Last suggestion : don't go for android 7 roms. Without gapps they are as slow as android 6 roms with gapps.
I've been having a bunch of problems recently with my rooted 7 Pro including Magisk Manager constantly "keeps stopping", not being able to access Hide to add new applications, banking apps starting to detect that I'm rooted and camera issues: the camera app not starting, the camera not popping up automatically and the image being usually reversed and occasionally upside down as well, depending on the app I'm using.
Given that Magisk appears to be dead/dying, having lost its developer to Google, I thought I'd start by getting rid of that and then performing a firmware upgrade in necessary to see if that fixes the other issues.
I uninstalled the Manager then ran the uninstall zip within TWRP. Rebooting though hangs on the initial "ASUS" screen.
I can get back to TWRP ok so I guess I'm not bricked yet. My next thought was to try a system upgrade but I seem to need to know the exact version I need, which, seemingly, I can only get via a working phone?
From the back, it says only model I002D along with SN and IMEIs.
I've done a TWRP backup to the external uSD card, and I have a syncthing copy of all of the internal memory that I can access without root.
My questions:
1. Is there something there which can help my figure out which firmware I need to download?
2. Is there any way to install this without wiping the phone?
Please see this post.
When I try to burn rom with TWRP, img burns but it doesn't start and zip gives an error and cannot burn.
When I first burned custom ROM (unofficial AEX), it did not start, so when I deleted the data from TWRP, it seems that I deleted things that should not be erased, so even if I burn it from the zip file, with the error message in the image below I...
