[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] walkjivefly:
First off, thanks to Android-Andi for providing contemporary ROMs for an "old" but still functional device.

Today I installed CM 12.1 and OpenGapps on a Tab2 10.1 5110. I did a full wipe (cache, Dalvik, system, data) first using TWRP 3.0.0.0. The actual files used were

GT-P5110_TWRP_3.0.0-0.tar.md5 installed by heimdall

cm-12.1-20160209-2255-UNOFFICIAL-p5110.zip installed by TWRP

open_gapps-arm-5.1-pico-20161208.zip installed by TWRP

Upon reboot the initial setup rebooted at the end of every single stage. After about 5 or 6 reboots I got fed up, assumed Gapps was the culprit, went back to recovery, wiped everything again, reflashed CM12 and tried again.

It was better this time, initial setup ran to completion, most things seem to work. I reinstalled the apps I want most. One problem is contacts only works in landscape mode. Auto-rotation is switched on but ignored. Except in contacts/settings where it is respected. Oh, and the device doesn't show up on my PC in adb. Developer options are enabled and USB debugging is switched on. But I've also had about 3 or 4 random restarts which is 3 or 4 too many.

So, finally, the question: can I (upgrade TWRP first) dirty flash cm-12.1-20161108-1918-UNOFFICIAL-espressowifi.zip over what I've got or do I need to wipe it all again and then re-install all the apps again after reflashing?
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Lightracer:
Always use Andi's common TWRP for flashing his roms. The latest TWRP can be found here under recoveries andi34.github.io. And you can try to dirty flash but make a backup first just in case something goes wrong!
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] walkjivefly:
OK, thanks. I was hoping for something a little more definitive than "suck it and see" but I'll suck it and see.

I flashed espresso-common_TWRP_3.0.2-8.tar.md5 recovery as a starting point and the tablet refused to boot, either normally or into recovery.

Reflashed GT-P5110_TWRP_3.0.0-0.tar.md5 and was able to boot recovery and normally. Will try espresso-common_TWRP_3.0.2-6.tar.md5 recovery next...
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Lightracer:
You can just flash the zip while in your current recovery
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] walkjivefly:
Ah, that'll be good to know once I get a ROM installed where ADB works again. I didn't know if TWRP could flash a recovery itself or if that would break things, perhaps in an interesting/nasty way. For now I'm downloading a bunch of alternative P5110 and espressowifi ROMS to copy to sdcard using a card reader. At least heimdall still works so I don't need to do that for the recoveries but if I have room left I might chuck a couple of alternative TWRPs on, just in case.
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Lightracer:
As far as I know, you can update twrp just buy flashing the zip. It won't break things :) If it did, I wouldn't be typing on this tablet! :D
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] walkjivefly:
I upgraded TWRP to 3.0.2.6 (using heimdall and espresso-common_TWRP_3.0.2-6.tar.md5), rebooted recovery, wiped cache and Dalvik, rebooted recovery, installed CM12 (cm-12.1-20161108-1918-UNOFFICIAL-espressowifi.zip), rebooted.

It started OK.

No random reboots so far.

ADB is working.

Contacts still only in landscape mode but contacts/settings does respect rotation and appears in portrait mode if appropriate.

So dirty install over cm-12.1-20160209-2255-UNOFFICIAL-p5110.zip appears not to be a problem.

I'm not running gapps and plan not to ever again after the 11 November update trashed all my devices. Investigating alternative repositories and apps for the things which require Google Play Services the biggest virus in the Android universe. Had to kiss a few games and a couple of apps goodbye. It's worth it for not having constant hangs, apps crashing everywhere and unreasonable battery drain.
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] tavoc:
My parents are using an P5110 with a year old Version of CM12.1 and where quite happy. Everything was working as expected, but this week they said, that the device keep crashing once a day and shows only the blue CM guy/skull on a black screen.

I am not near this device and my parents are lacking the skill to get me more infos.

As I have no longer any Android devices with cm on my hands, what is this thing? Do I need a reflash, is the memory broken, why did it keep crahsing suddenly?

I realize that this is an old thread (and old devices) but I am interested if this ROM would work on the AT&T SGH-I497 or T-Mobile SGH-T779 both of which are the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 4G versions. They have a slightly different SOC,'s the P5100 has a TI OMAP 4 4430 and the SGH models have a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960. The CPU in the P5100 is the ARM Cortex A9 while SGH models have a Krait. They are otherwise the same except for level 0 and level 1 cache memory.

If anyone knows the answer, I d sure appreciate it. Here's the comparison link I used for the technical specs...

my tradition, if i was on lollipop rom and i want to install next lollipop rom i was back to kitkat rom first and then clean install.

mine was fine after clean installing, i was from omni rom kitkat than i was wiping with advanced wipe on twrp [wipe system,dalvic,cache,data] twice, and then after that i'm install cm12 20150124 with micro gapps from PA. i don't flash super su...if i want root i just enabled it from developer setting. i just choose enable root for Apps and Adb from developer setting. cause in my experience sometimes flashing super su make your device bootloop on android L. and now my device with 20150124 build was fast.. the booting time was fast and i feel it. no random reboot for now.
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] cshnz:
if u download supersu from googleplaystore, first you must enable root Apps and adb from developer setting to update binaries. cause updating binaries need a superuser premission. after enabling root Apps and adb from developer setting open super user app again. then you will prompted superuser permission, you must choose allow. and for updating superuser binaries choose manual and then you will download the binaries, afterthat choose reboot and then your device will flash the binaries automatically at reboot. :highfive:

I flashed TWRP 2.8.4.0, did an advanced wipe (system + data + cache + dalvik cache + internal memory), and then installed cm12 24012015 build without gapps or su. Still stuck on the Galaxy Tab 2 logo screen.
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Android-Andi:
That's crazy.

Try the following in TWRP:

Wipe -> wipe data -> confirm by typing "yes"

Wipe -> Advanced wipe: cache, dalvic & system

Reboot --> recovery

Don't install su if you get asked from TWRP.

Now flash the rom.

Reboot.

Wait up to 30 min.

If it still not works: re-download the file and try again, maybe check the md5 (after copy to microSD).

It finally worked! Thanks a lot.

Before wiping data, I also went to mount and disabled MTP (Otherwise I got "Unable to add/remove storage 65537 Error")

Also I flashed the latest build, 20150126.

Gapps also work properly.

TB Pro worked with the default su only (by enabling in Developer options), didn't need to install SuperSU.

Thanks again everyone. :) :)

Thanks Andi for providing us with this wonderful rom. As someone rightly pointed out in the initial posts, no words could describe how grateful we are to you for bringing Lollipop to our devices.

Can anyone please help me in clarifying one small doubt?

The steps to install the rom mentions to wipe data, wipe cache, dalvik and finally wipe system. I did not find wipe /system in CWM menu. Does wiping system means going to 'mounts and storage' and format /system or something else.

Please correct me in case if I wrote something wrong.

P.S: I am using CWM V 6.0.5.1

BTW, do you guys know how to set Launcher3 system persistent? It closes in background when multitasking. As a result, it takes a while to open the app drawer.

...and now download mode isn't recognized...sigh...

So, I was also set to try again and flash CM12 (this time with the latest ClockworkMod recovery) and after having successfully used download mode, now download mode isn’t recognized by my or any other PC. I’ve been looking online and it seems that this isn’t an uncommon problem but, I haven’t seen any solutions that have worked for me so maybe someone can help.

Tablet works fine as a stock Samsung tablet

It goes into stock recovery just fine.

It goes into download mode just fine.

In download mode it states:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: GT-PT3113

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (FOUR COUNTS)

CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM

When I connect the tablet in download mode, my PC searches on line (no matter what drivers I have installed from Samsung) and successfully installs two drivers:

SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device

SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem #3

and that’s it…

So if anyone can help me get the tablet recognized in download mode or suggest an alternative way to flash CM12, I’d really appreciate it.

I've noticed that after some time of browsing web via chrome, when I press home (circle) launcher needs to start again. It takes some time before all icons and widgets appear. It looks like chrome uses a lot of resources and system closes launcher app. This problem concerns CM12 (Google Now Launcher and Launcher3) as well as SlimLP (GEL). Maybe Launcher should be forced to stay in memory in some way?

In KitKat based ROMs this problem not appears and after closing Chrome app Launcher is almost immediately ready to operate.

Camera and Clock app works for me (cleean install after full wipe)

Swype gesture in AOSP keyboard can be forced to work but you need to find dictionary file with your language on the internet and put it in the correct place. This method works for all CM versions and devices.

i.e. I'm using polish language (pl) so I've found few years ago dictionary file main%2500003apl. I create dicts/pl directories in /data/data/com.android.inputmethod.latin/files/ and manualy put the dictionary file here. Created directories and dictionary file should have permissions and groups like files around.

Probably You can do it in the same way with your languge.

Latest build is superb!

Black Recents in Portrait Mode is now fixed finally.

GPS is working again.

All apps are working except for Music which I find to FC If i Reboot my tablet and open it immediatley, Seems to be something with MediaScanner. doesn't matter really, I never use it anyway.

Graphical bugs which happened in Chrome while swiping too fast are now gone and fixed.

I don't find any bugs now except Firefox and Music which FC, and The bootanimation doesn't fit to screen, Anyway they are not very important, All the important things have been fixed, Thank you VERY MUCH Android-Andi!

I still have black recents in portrait and landscape but I think it is because I used wm to change the resolution to 1365x800. Netflix no longer works. Netflix worked fine in kitkat and older.

Also screen inversion does not work.

One more thing. All CM based ROMs including this one have very low microphone input volume. User zabiap proposed modified espressorf file to boost microphone in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2416960. It also works in CM12.

How long it will take to flash ? I have used all latest recoveries like TWRP 2.8.4.0,Phillz touch etc. So i give others ROMs a shot like Slim LP, they were flashing like normal.
