[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] sesgardo:
A few issues I've noticed

So, I changed from Beta 0.3 (08/08) to the latest SlimLP ROM for P3110 which is Beta 0.5 (08/21). I performed a clean installation, and the first day it all went really well. Nevertheless, the day after I started having random reboots so I had to downgrade. I've noticed certain problems in both ROMS that I'm going to list below:

-When you're setting SlimLP for the first time and restoring your apps, it is not possible to select the ones you want to install and the ones you don't. The page where this process happens only lets you go back and choose to install them all.

-When you add widgets to the homescreen sometimes a grey bar appears at the bottom of the screen. It usually gets fixed when you change the view to landscape mode.

-If you modify the size of the icons in the homescreen, all the icons (including those from the app drawer) are set to a lower resolution.

-I've noticed certain connectivity problems when my tab is connected to my laptop as a media device, specially, when the device's screen locks. I must admit that it has only happened a couple of times so I don't know if I could stablish this as an issue for sure. I just mention it in case someone else has had the same experience.

-I remember there used to be an option back in Alpha versions that would let me choose what to do with the block button. This way my tab's screen didn't lock everytime I'd hit the button. Now I can't find this function.

That's all for now. For those of you who are wondering what ROM to install right now, IMO the beta 0.3 (08/08) is the most stable to date.

Keep up the good work!

Lockscreen sometime still lag and trigger softreboot... Yesterday I got softreboot continuously several times...
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Bhaskara Rao:
Thank you very much, Andi for the new build. It is smooth and there were practically no soft reboots when the language is English (US). When I changed it to English (India), there were continuous reboots. I reverted back to English US. I even restored my apps with titanium backup without any issue. Afternoon, I even installed Xposed without any problem. I have a very stable experience for the last two days. I attach logs for your perusal. Thanks a lot for your tireless efforts, dear Dev. I also felt lag on Lokscreen and ofted for no lock screen.
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Chatty:
I dirty flashed 20150904 and it works so far. But I can no longer install xposed-v71-sdk22-arm (hangs at colorful boot logo).

And here it is said that Tab2 can do Mirroring. The listed example ROM (well, for P51xx) contains this hack - Andi, can you also include this? (20150904 already finds my Chromecast, connects to it and plays the sound from the tab but screen stays blank so far).
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Android-Andi:
Didn't had time to look into chromecast, it's on my to-do list.

About xposed: what i thought... Dexpreopt enabled this time, speeds up boot and might result in a more stable system.

You can revert to previous build and i can send you a kernel tomorrow for testing instead if you like.
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Chatty:
I'll gladly do that :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Bhaskara Rao:
[MENTION=243036]Chatty[/MENTION]

I could successfully install xposed-v73-sdk22-arm.zip of [MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION] with the present build. Installed a few modules like Greenify and YouTube-Adaway. Earlier I used [MENTION=2476451]romracer[/MENTION]'s zips.
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] stingjoel:
Set none to lockscreen... There is also a lag from power on to normal activity (sometime) , but not trigger softreboot (yet)...
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Chatty:
I just installed xposed-v73-sdk22-arm and almost considered the tablet to be in the same boot loop as with v71 but then it started to optimize the installed apps eventually.
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Android-Andi:
Some of you have noticed already, that latest build is quite bigger. This is because of Dex pre-optimization.

Dex pre-optimization might break Xposed, so if you need Xposed latest build might not be the build of your choice.

There have been some kernel changes, i hope those stop the softreboots.

Latest Kernel is attached as flashable zip, in case you are on previous build.
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] lepa71:
[MENTION=5153662]Android-Andi[/MENTION]

Is there a way to disable performance handling inside the rom? I use other tools to control governor and speed.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Android-Andi:
speed isn't changed by default, only governor.

You could use an init.dd script or use "apply on boot" option of your kernel app.
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Bhaskara Rao:
Flashed the new kernel on the previous build with xposed framework installed. Resulted in continuous soft reboots. Forced to restore mantle backup of previous build. Shall try the new build tomorrow.
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Mickeyvdb:
Just installed beta 0.6 (4/9).

So far it is a real improvement compared to 0.5, at least for me it is.

Thank you so much again Andi.

Incredible work again done by you.
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Bhaskara Rao:
Clean installed Sep 04 build. Initial boot animation was shorter than usual probably as the ROM is pre-optimised. Enabled Dev options and root access and flashed TK GAPPs PICO. Set up Google account and installed a couple of apps like Titanium Backup. Restored 116 apps with TB. Everything is very smooth. ROM is working buttery for the last half hour. No soft reboot at all. Thanks a lot, Andi[emoji106]
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Bhaskara Rao:
When I woke the device from sleep next day, there were continuous soft reboots. I could not get logs also. Today I clean flashed again followed by TK GAPPs Pico. Also restored a few apps with Titanium Backup. Everything is fine for the last couple of hours.
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] stingjoel:
I got one softreboot when put in the charger (with "wake up on charge" on) now, disabled it.

I also got continuous softreboot when opening google play store - so slow then softreboot, I don't know why...

Today I also got softreboot after browsing with chrome then open youtube.

The lockscreen still lag sometime, but never trigger softreboot...

If the lockscreen disabled and then rebooted, it will show icon & name (mine, guest and add new user) at upper right corner when opening quick setting. It happen several times then disappear...
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Android-Andi:
Attached a new kernel to use on latest build. Includes some SELinux updates and updated sensor driver.

If this still doesn't fix the reboots:

Make the following changes in system/build.prop (you need to mout system rw and use a root explorer!):

dalvik.vm.dex2oat-flags=--no-watch-dog

If this still doesn't help:

# Low-RAM optimizations
ro.config.low_ram=true
persist.sys.force_highendgfx=true
dalvik.vm.jit.codecachesize=0
config.disable_atlas=true
ro.config.max_starting_bg=8
ro.sys.fw.bg_apps_limit=16

Maybe some lines exist already, please check before!
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] stingjoel:
Flash new kernel but still softreboot...

Put all codes above to build.prop... It's awesome?

I'll update when softreboot come back ?
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Bhaskara Rao:
After I reinstalled the new build clean yesterday, the ROM worked fine except for two soft reboots during the last one day. Now I flashed the new kernel about an hour back. No changes to build prop. Everything is smooth since then. Thanks a lot, Andi!
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Joseph9876:
Would like to report that so far no problems on latest beta without the new kernel but Bluetooth headphones still no work :(
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] stingjoel:
Got one twice softreboot continuously right after start charging GTab today...yesterday, I didn't get any softreboot...just some lag when the memory low.

I also have problem with Whatsapp camera...after taking photo, the picture become all grey...it happen after the camera changed with the open source or something.

Device Manager Question

I'm not sure if this is a bug or something else. I noticed that when I go into device manager(on my tab 2 or my other android devices), it doesn't show my tab 2 listed at all. Not sure if it's just me or not, but if anyone has any ideas how to make it show, let me know. Thanks.

I mean that you can also add other mail accounts to Gmail. I have my Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail accounts handled by the Gmail app.

If I want to flash this rom. Can I just use stock kernel ?

Yes, assuming that by 'stock kernel' you mean the kernel that comes with the ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Android-Andi:
Install a logcat app or use adb. It is really easy, maybe check on YouTube or one of the guides on XDA.

I am in process to fix all SELinux denials.

Also now i got video recording working on my p3110 :)

Anybody played with awesomeplayer / nuplayer settings (inside developer options)? Any different noticeable?

[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] CCD:
I have already tried it on latest build videos doesn't work on awesomeplayer. Video works only on nuplayer.

If I turn it off video cannot be played.

This is with reference to Stock Video Player

Edit: Now, I also check that online streaming of video works only on nuplayer. While YouTube app works on both.

Great many thanks, Andi for Sep 12 build (beta 0.7). Clean flashed ROM, SuperSU and TK GAPPs Pico(uni) in a single go. Completed set up. Installed Titanium Backup and restored all my apps without any issue and configured some of the apps also. Then when tried to open One Note, experiences a few soft reboots. Hard rebooted the device. Now everything seems OK. Logs attacked.

Clean installed yesterday morning. Restored a handful of apps from google while configuring the device and restored the balance with Titanium Backup. Everything seemed fine except for a couple of soft reboots. I felt considerable lag initially though it reduced over usage. After considerable use, the soft reboots increased. By about four hours of use during the day, it culminated in continuous reboots. The device was booted to home screen and immediately rebooted. No chance to open any app or take logs. Reverted to beta 0.3 of August 08. I don't know where I went wrong. I wiped data. Rebooted to recovery. Advanced wiped system, cache, dalvik cache and internal storage. Rebooted to recovery and flashed Rom, SuperSU, TK GAPPs Pico SEP 13.

Quick report from a happy user: beta 0.3 running extremely stable since first install. No hangs, no reboots, very nice battery life, quick and snappy.

Seeing no reason to upgrade, since I need a rock solid build for daily use. However, very grateful for the continued development and the eager testing from some of you, especially Bhaskara!

Hi Andi, Installed Latest Build 0.7 dt17/9...It got few reboots to start with .. Unable to restore previous stored data. So tried without restoring. It worked. But getting soft reboots two or three times a day. I felt it is because of Ram usage. More over cellular on/off buton in status bar doesnt work. We have to go to setting and do it. it is fast responsive.

Hi Andi, Excellent update. Very fast , good battery life.Thanks for Update. I have seen that my tab , p3100, get soft reboot when Cellular signal's are not available. Moreover all P3100 users are getting more reboot than P3110. I have observed that Call Drop is very frequent with Rom ( All Roms). You can find out why this is happening and help us.

You are on Stock Rom?

If yes, update to JellyBean through OTA first (to get JB Bootloader installed, else you might get graphic glitches on boot), after that root your device, backup efs - after that you are good to go to start looking at custom roms.

Recovery Thread can be found in development section too ;) searching won't hurt.
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] doorgesh:
actually it is my friend's device and i dont know what did he do to get it infected with malware virus which is not getting deleted even after factory reset through recovery that's why i did not choose ota.
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Android-Andi:
Yes it is, else i wouldn't mention it :) your IMEI etc. Is stored there, so if the partition get any issues you won't be able to use your device with all functions. Backup takes some min only if you have to read first, sending the device yo the repair center takes a lot more time and won't be fixed for free.

Search for EFS Professional, new versions only detect wrong partition, make sure to backup /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

You can also use dd if you are familiar with adb/terminal.
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] doorgesh:
but do you recommend me doing all this thing if the device itself is infected with malwares?
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Android-Andi:
do a factory reset first.

Edit:

You can also flash a custom rom first.

Here's TWRP: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347818081

Here's JB Bootloader: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347801173

Both can be flashed from Odin as PDA.

Good luck.

[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Android-Andi:
Skip the ota.

Flash twrp.

Format data

Wipe: cache, dalvic cache, system

Reboot recovery

Flash a custom rom

Boot into dl mode and flash the bootloader.

If it boots, boot back into recovery and flash gapps.

Boot the rom.

Enable developer options.

Enable root inside developer options.

Download and run Terminal-Emulator:

# su

Grant root access.

# busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/efs.img bs=4096

# exit

You´ll find "efs.img" on your internal Storage, copy to your PC & on a 2nd Storage (e.g. usb-stick) and keep it safe.
