Sounds like your EMMC reached end of lifetime. Most, if not all, 16GB Tab2 have a MAG2GA EMMC which is known to be faulty. Only solution: update the emmc firmware via ISP (issue might come back soon) or replace the emmc.

You'll find some threads about the issue here in general tab2 section, also some information about it in my FAQ (scroll down): http://andi34.github.io/faq.html
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] jokeandjill:
Hi I use the latest version for 1 week now and I love it! (thanks Andy, Ziyan and Slim ROM team!)

anyway should I use Andy's Anykernel too? Or is it included in the ROM flashing process? My current kernel version is 3.0.101 jenkins@autobuild #1 dated March 29 2017.

sorry if this is a silly question but I really don't know much about these things.

Thanks in advance and you guys rock!
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] guest4711:
As [MENTION=4151047]Anndroid-[/MENTION]Andi says in the introduction to his anykernel thread: His Anykernel includes the latest security patches and some experimental features. From time to time the kernel changes will be imported into the ROMs if all are satisfied.

If not, there will be a newer anykernel...

So the rule of the thumbs:

* If you want a very stable ROM, don't change the kernel.

* If you need stability and security, take an anykernel older than two weeks (and repest this once a month).

* If you love to be on the bleeding edge, flash the last anykernel (and update it whenever there is a new one)

Hi Andi

i just wanted to let you know there are some more avc: denied timestamps in the logcat :cowboy:

maybe that's the reason for the compass issue + more... I suppose because of the kernel change to enforcing.

[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Android-Andi:
It's because of the app you use to Change them:

Hmm okay, i remember we had such timestamps in the S5 mini LOS 14.1 thread when there was also a change to enforcing. in the end: ...permissive=0

But i'm no pro... :confused: if you find some time i hope you'll look at it. as i said there are quite alot avc: denied ts, not only because of the app L-Speed

Only information.

Slim 20180114 contains Chromium and replaces the Lightning application that has been used so far (Slim 20180113 and earlier).
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Android-Andi:
Yeah, 14th build fixes copy & paste not working.

Lightning didn't got an update about last 6 Months, so let's use something else I have started working on some weeks ago.

Self compiled Chromium with some additions:

- Chromium: disable strict mode

- Chromium: use startpage searchengine by default

- hide passwords.google.com link when not supported

- use Chromium branding in more places

- stop enabling search engine geolocation by default

- add DuckDuckGo search engine

- mark non-secure origins as non-secure

- disable data reduction proxy promotions

- disable first run welcome page

- disable autofill by default

- disable hyperlink auditing by default

- disable metrics by default

- disable network prediction by default

- disable contextual search by default

- disable navigation error correction by default

- enable dubious Do Not Track feature by default

https://github.com/andi34/prebuilts_chromium

Chromium only doesn't support h264 encoder for legal reasons.

[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] guest4711:
Some more infos required

Dirty flashing from one subversion of the ROM to a new one should be no harm if not otherwise stated by author of the ROM.

Afaik reboots are often caused by misbehaving apps with system-rights like g-apps or problems with bluetooth stack. To assist you in finding the cause of your problems the usual logs are necessary...

I realised that I was using twrp 3.1.1, so changed for latest twrp 3.2 and re-flahshed the ROM, let's see if the issue persists, maybe can be from that!

I just found a weird and very annoying bug:

Today I woke up and found the battery had died, no big deal, I put the Tablet to recharge, then I rebooted it and got stuck at the unlock screen, showing only the wallpaper if it's in landscape mode and the standard unlock screen if in portrait mode. There is no response if I touch the screen, the volume buttons don't do anything, the only one working is the power buton and the power button menu, but I can't get past the lock screen, what can I do?

I sadly must report that my beloved Tab 2 GT-P5100 probably run into its end-of-life cycle .

In fact, yesterday, after sudden instability and crash of Google Play services and other applications, I tried to re-flash the Slim 6 ROM by Andi but unfortunately I get "Status 7 Error" with TWRP Recovery .

I tried re-installing latest TWRP but I noticed that, after succesfully write from Odin, after reboot, TWRP version is still 3.1.1-1, and when I perform a full wipe and format data, I still have latest Unofficial Slim 6.0.1 booting and stucking on initial animation.

It is a pitty after 5 years of moderate usage and a limited number of custom ROM flash (no more than 8 times).

A big thanks to Andi !

Cheers

[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] guest4711:
Slim6 is a good choice. To have a good performance it is essential to limit the number of processes running in the background. Avoid flashing of g-apps and other bloatware and you are fine. If you really think you need playstore use Yalp Store (Download apks from Google Play Store) - https://f-droid.org/app/com.github.yeriomin.yalpstore ). If you need location service have a look onto UnifiedNlp (no GAPPS) (Location provider middleware (UnifiedNlp)) - https://f-droid.org/app/com.google.android.gms ) which is easy to install when using Nanodroid https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-nanomod-5-0-20170405-microg-t3584928/post71739848 and supports yalp-store too.

Unroot Slim6

I had been using the Lineage OS and when I went back to the download site look like the Tab 2 2.7.0 is not supported any longer. So after some searching I came across Slim6 and installed the stable version. So far working great and much faster than Lineage was for me. The only problem I ran into was the DRM problem not allowing Netflix app to install.

I really do not need SU / Root on this older tablet but really want Netflix for the family to use. I am not an expert but pretty technical and just wondering if there is a way to unroot Slim6 or are there features that require it to be rooted.

Thanks and nice work!

after clearing all app data, i repeated again but still crashed it.

then downloaded the suggested package and restarted it. with the new packaged app it still crashed at same action with selection of bookmarks.

one more observation : i used the star icon on address bar to initiate a new bookmark hoping it will build its own bookmark yet when i did that on the homepage i clicked on the newly built bookmark and it still crashed the app. whatever i did with bookmark it will crash the chromium app.

this does not happen with my standard google chrome beta though.

i also attached a logcat zip file when failure happened with this revised chromium app.
