Getting really upset

I got a p3113 that was my daughters. She left for college and no longer wanted it. A little over a year ago I drop my Nexus 7 and broke it. I have been trying to root this Tab and load a new ROM for 3 days. Everything you download wants to put a lot of crap on my laptop. The files linked to the video will not load because no matter what I do Windows Defender will not let them on my machine. I do not want to put Spyremover or Windows 10 driver updated or what other BS program on my machine. I just want to be able to root this thing and load the latest available version o android. I do not remember it being this difficult years ago when I rooted my Motorola android phone.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Lightracer:
If you just want root, just install a one click root application like Kingroot or Kingoroot. Beware that these apps may install bloatware but you can just uncheck them when prompted so they won't get installed. But if you want a specific root app such as the popular SuperSU, you have to flash it in recovery. (But if you want to install roms, everything you need can be found at andi34.github.io which is the website of the maintainer of this device) Hope it works!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] rcsun:
I tried Kingroot. I used the PC version and it loaded and said the Tab was rooted. When I did a root check on the tab It says it is not rooted. I tried the android apk version and it did not work. I am not running anything complicated on the Tab or my laptop.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Lightracer:
Do you have an app called "Kinguser" after installing and rooting with Kingroot?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] rcsun:
I do not. When I try the Kingroot apk it say installed but is nowhere to be found on the Tab. The same happens on the PC version. It spins for about a minute and says root successfully gained. There is nothing else in the program from there.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] smart-t78:
try kingoroot apk instead of kingroot
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] rcsun:
I did already and the same thing happens. It says install and is nowhere to be found. It does have Purify on it but no Kingroot user.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] smart-t78:
whats your stock android version? 4.0.3, 4.0.4, 4.1.2 or 4.2.2??
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] rcsun:
4.2.2
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] smart-t78:
kingoroot apk works for me in the past.

if you are running the latest version, maybe it helps when you try an older version of kingoroot. you can find older versions on apkmirror.com
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] rcsun:
is there a recommendation for something other than kingroot
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Lightracer:
Kingoroot is next. I tried it in the past and it helped me install a new rom because of it ;)
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] rcsun:
I got past the problem with the Kingroot and moved on. I download CWM recovery and mod manager. Mod manager says that CWM is installed but I cannot get it to reboot into CWM recovery. It just wants to boot into android recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] champ1919:
After installing the new recovery (cwm/TWRP), you have to reboot into recovery or stick will rewrite itself over.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] PiggyFlooper:
Is there still a custom recovery available for the gt-p3113 tab?

I cant post links yet, add the missing dots . back into the urls

Friend, I feel your pain, I dropped my nexus 7 too, and all I have lying around is the P3110. I worked with Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus all the way to Nexus 5 and 7. I totally understand.

Samsung is difficult because they don't make standard things, they always want to make things work in their own way.

These files are caught by IE11 and Edge browser as malicious, because of SmartScreen protection. So youll need to download with Chrome/Firefox/Opera/Vivaldi/Palemoon/Chromium

The first post has a bit.ly direct link to the Samsumg drivers for the tablet direct from samsung's support website. The BITLY website says it's malicious, but it's not I'll tell you why afterwards, and gives you the link underneath anyway. The link is

downloadcenter samsung com/content/SW/201306/20130610184736640/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.25.0-retail.exe

Or you can download it from here

androidhost org/XIVsA

The exe is downloaded, run it. The error you are getting on Windows 10 for the Driver package is because the driver .exe is digitally signed with an old/expired security certificate that Microsoft blacklisted within the SmartScreen filechecking service. This is what bit.ly was complaining about. expired security signing.

Put the file into an easy short folder in the root of a drive, lets say c:\temp. Rename it to something shorter if you want like sam.exe or keep the full name SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.25.0-retail.exe

Now we need to open Command Prompt as Admisitrator: Start > System Tools > Rightclick command prompt and Run as Administrator.

In the command prompt type:

cd C:\temp
sam
[B]or the original name [I]SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.25.0-retail.exe[/I][/B]

The next error you are getting is for Odin3 1.87 on the website google drive ... That is unavoidable, you have get it from somewhere else. Here is somewhere else:

www androidfilehost com/?fid=24269982087018383

Everything else step detail from the video should work, except instead of Philz Touch it now uses TWRP unified for all the different tab 2's. The roms you choose should be from the unified section. Now if my P3110 would hold a charge I could help you further, but it's not able to allow me into the black Odin mode without rebooting into the battery charging because it is dead screen.

EDIT: I got it rooted tonight. Booted into Android first, activated developer>Debugging tools, and used minimal adb and fastboot (downloaded from elsewhere here) to run adb reboot download because the key combo at bootup just wouldn't work with my battery woes.

TWRP not zipping backups

Any advice on this ? I've tried three versions of twrp on my tab 2 7" espresso wifi (enabled compression of course) and it will not create zipped backups. I zipped afterward with root explorer, but it's not an acceptable format to use as a backup to install. This is a clean install after full wipe. First root and rom on this device. I've asked about this in a couple threads with no reply. Never seen this before as I've used twrp without issue on three other devices over the recent years.

Thanks !
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] john99ap:
Twrp backups are not created as .zip files (even if you check the enable compression option). To restore one simply select Restore from the twrp menu. If you want to create a zip for some reason google it, you might find some helpful guide.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jdl512:
Thank you. I am confused along with a friend who does much more custom work than I. Maybe I am confusing with CWM, but I can't remember the last time I used that recovery. It also stood out that the unzipped folder size of the backups are over 3 gigs before installing many apps. Seems the backup will be very large after the new ROM is fully set up with apps, etc. I am used to fully setup backups being around 3 gigs, so that reinforced my thought that my backups have always been zipped.

Can you advise on how to get the backup to be stored on the external SD? There's not much room with only 8 gig internal. Thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] john99ap:
Go to the backup menu and press the "Select storage" button on the bottom right:)
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] jdl512:

I've theCM-10.1-RCelease-Candidate-v2.1-[OWLPROJECT] and i want to update it. Usually it's simple by using the "update" application included in the ROM but I dont have a compatilbile Recovery so it tells me that i have to install update manually!!

I tryed by renamed it in "update.zip" and choose "install update from sd card" from recovery but not work (I have to reinstall rom :crying:).

This theme replaces only requisite altered files within themed .apks - currently only LGSystemUI.apk. However, I am not responsible for any replaced/overwritten themes or mods, non-operational devices, or dead puppies. Flash at your own risk.

Note: This is a WIP and is just the beginning (hopefully). I am, by no means, a developer or great themer. I am mostly learning a lot of this stuff as I go and it takes me time - which I do not have a lot of. I do what I can, whenever I get the chance. Updates most likely will be slow. I am fully open to input or help from any who have some to offer; as long as it isn't a suggestion to add such-and-such feature/element. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Anyways, now that the garbage is done...

AOSP 4.3 for Stock ROMs

This project is to bring as much of AOSP elements as possible to G2 Stock ROMs.​

Screenshots

Features

Currently modified packages: LGSystemUI.apk

- Changed Status bar and some notification area icons to AOSP icons

- Combined signal/data and arrows icons for wifi and mobile to match AOSP

- Changed clock and date colors to holo blue

- Blacked out notifications area, replaced and resized pulldown handle

- Moved LG-implemented battery percentage inside the battery (CM style)

- One-Finger notification expansion!! (seriously, LG? Two-finger expansion???)

Bugs

- Ticker (ongoing) notifications icons are slightly shrunk. I have been looking into this to discover why and fix it.

To Install:

- Download zip in attachments in this post

- Reboot recovery and flash zip

- Reboot and enjoy!

Currently, this has only been tested on VZW G2 with Malladus ROM. Technically this would work on all Stock-based G2 ROMs, although I know different carrier versions use different images in these apks - which I have not modified yet - so this would not quite look right on other variants. Once I change the rest of the icons, I will update the post reflecting the changes.

A HUGE thanks to:

Okibi for his amazing ROM

Google

CM

Ticklefish for his posts on editing key portions of Android

Enjoy!

Is there any way you can include the stock 4.4 dialer ? I really hate the lg dialer
[G2 Themes and Apps] DroidmanDan:
Good start! Any chance you'll also do a kit kat theme?

Edit: just saw that you asked to not post suggestions, additions, ect. My apologies!
[G2 Themes and Apps] mb02:
I've not actually seen the new dialer yet, but i know they made a lot of functional changes to it. Dialer's cant just be added in as they tie in to deep portions of the OS I am not familiar with. I am hoping to make the G2 dialer layout similar to AOSP.

Thank you. I was thinking about migrating to 4.4, but i have not taken a good look at 4.4 yet. I'll check it out tomorrow and see if it would work better to go that direction since right now it would only involve changing some colors.
[G2 Themes and Apps] soapinmouth:
Any chance you could make a white version of this? Like in kitkat
[G2 Themes and Apps] Evilmonstertruck:

Hello guys, I'm new to the android platform and phones ,

I recently bought a new htc desire C and I dropped it on the floor from 1m height, the phone is intact , absolutely nothing

but the screen is black, I can receive calls , I hear the sound when it turns on , when someone calls.

Is there a common problem with the phones themselves or is the screen broken cuz I don't get it, why it's not turning on.

If it's something I can fix at home so I don't have to go to the shop with the phone.
[HTC Desire C] me4488:
Dropping it ant the screen not working is definitely not a common problem lol. You can repair it at a shop, that's pretty much it.

That's because 4.4 changed the Android's internal "web rendering engine" to the new Chrome one, while in 4.3/4.2 (also if Nexus 7/4/10 comes with preinstalled Chrome) it still was the stock AOSP browser one.
