Yeah after so many attempts , I have now managed to make it usable.

Previously I was using crDroid rom (marshmallow) with gapps. But it was so laggy that I couldn't do anything ( literally anything). Now after doing some research I have chosen unified lineage OS 14 ( 7.0) from Android Andi's website. I am now using unified Twrp ( not the official one) also from Andi's website. And flashed a custom overclocked kernel. This time I am not using gapps ( very resource heavy). And using "NEW PIPE" for YouTube streaming. And rooted with magisk and flashed "Oxygen OS sounds" from magisk modules. Now I can watch YouTube videos 720p without any lag. This device flies now...??
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Justin989:
I have 1

I bought one for a microbiology class because it was cheaper to buy a digital copy and the tablet than to buy the book. It was a new book with no previous editions, so I had to. I never really had to use it for classes again, I prefer a book over the tablet. It has been sitting around untouched for a bit, I think the last time I used it Hulu or Netflix no longer had a compatible app version for android 4. I can't remember how much I paid for it, but I feel like it got slow and they quit pushing out updates not long after I bought it. I decided to pull it out and play around with it. It is not doing much, so if I mess it up by rooting it, I won't be too upset. Trying to find the best way to do this. I have also seen some information about LineageOS.

>> Hi there!

I just ripped out my old P5100.

Would like to use it for zoominars and so on and therefore use it as a kind of graphic pad, drawing some chemical structures and stuff.

Has anyone ever tested a Linux distribution, no plan, something simple like Ubuntu?

greetings!

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] chankeypathak:
I've mine connected to my PC all the time and I use it as a clock/calendar/note taking app or sometimes for reading books. It's running on MIUI 4.2.2.

I'm wondering if there's any stable Android 5+ ROM available for this?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Android-Andi:
Thanks for your words!

At least my 7.1.2 ROMs get updates from time to time. Private life and interests changed in the meantime so I am not putting much time into this. The Corona situation does also not help to get more time... I am currently almost burned out because of it...

I've recently uploaded a /e/ 7.1.2 build for those who like to have some more privacy.

Unlegacy-Android 7.1.2 also got an update recently.

My other 7.1.2 ROMs will follow in the next weeks.

Sadly on 7.1.2 Sometimes the kernel keeps one core running which drains the battery and causing a lag. Didn't found the root source yet...

But hey, the Tab 2 is 8 years old now and my tuna is 9 years old: both still getting updates years after manufacturer have abandoned it.

We're proofing that the age of an device does not count as reason to not get newer and more secure OS running on a device.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] levider:
I have P3100 running LineageOS 13 and Anykernel OC, no gapps.

I highly recommend this combination

(Also SlimKAT + AnyKernel is good, but needs gapps imo. Kitkat is too old)

Use it for reading, watching YT and some games

So many years have passed and this device is still running great. Old but gold

Thank you Andi for keeping this device alive
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] AndroidBorph:
I've mine active for the kids (video etc), Lineageos + Gapps. But it got unusable slow recently, don't know why.

Just found here that [MENTION=5153662]Android-Andi[/MENTION] has an update of his AOSP (Unlegacy-Android) espresso from 18.06.2020, wow!! https://builds.unlegacy-android.org/aosp-7.1/espresso/

Guess will take that for a fresh install.

Otherwise - any recommendation for a ROM for this old baby? Would like Gapps, since I wanted to try out "Google Family Link" (limiting usage time).
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Tab_Triggerhappy:
I have the 7 inch P3100 and have tested several custom roms and also stock version during a week or so.

It's going to be used as a larger external display for my old Olympus OM-D E-M5.

However... it was so much fun fiddling around, so now I'm just testing different roms, configurations and apps to see what I end up with.

A lot of soft bricks due to me deleting the wrong stuff :D

First favourite rom was Slimkat.

Edit:

Back to Slimkat again.

If someone knows how to set a different wallpaper for the lockscreen, please share :)

Slimkat + Nova Launcher + Lines Icon pack + Fast 64 Gb SD-card where I install as much as possible.

Approx 3.6 Gb free internal space.

[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/embed/5DEt-L-ktnI[/YOUTUBE]

Oh... I also have the LMT Pie menu and another "theme" now. Apps drawer icon is a "non icon just customized label icon".

And IMHO I think the Slim Launcher and the Nova is a versatile combination.

Removed 2 navigation apps, since they work better on my newer phone. 4.05 Gb free internal space.

Added customized shortcuts, so JOY DIVISION of course opens the MP3 player and UNKNOWN PLEASURES the App Drawer :cool:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] saq-xda:
I have a espressowifi currently running Andi's 6/2020 Marshmallow build (thanks, Andi!). Seems to work pretty well. Used to have an older UA 7.1.2 on it and did notice the lagginess.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Tab_Triggerhappy:
Still in use, but run the old CM12.1 now.

First ROM that asked about using Mobile Data or not...
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ozzman77:
Still using one

Using mine on SlimKat ROM mainly for reading ebooks. Works fine and battery still lasts for days with network and location turned off. :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] saq-xda:
It's because the list function is based on each individual character parsed from left to right rather than having a concept of "place value" for the number characters - so 1 is less than 2, and 9 is less than "a", etc.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Tab_Triggerhappy:
Yes

Well, I guess most people doesn't use the list view in Nova and not that many apps that starts with a number either.

I would like the option to sort the list in different ways (strict/numeric perhaps) and also to choose Headers on/off :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] iAMLIMITLESS:
I use mine for watching movies off my network share, watching youtube/twitch. Hadn't touched the rom since I rooted it in 2012 but youtube ended support for android 4 so now I'm updating to something newer.

FWIW the battery on my tab 2 is still great and most definitely better than my Galaxy S7 which barely lasts a day

EDIT: Actually probably the best use I've found for the tablet is as a ti-89 emulator. Super handy since my actual ti-89s are broken and you get a much bigger screen than on a phone.

Lightning Launcher works on the old Tab with for instance CM12.1

In a month I have probably used this old device more than I ever did before and reinstalled ROMs so many times I've lost count :eek:

Now I have modded LL's scripted weekday widget to start on monday instead of sunday :)

I have a lot more control over details with this launcher but it takes time to figure it out... but I like that.

Yep now it's called Firefox nightly. But the same engine is used also on the Firefox beta now that is more stable obviously.

They plan to update it also in the stable release.

Still using mine daily, its my BT Audio setup for the car. Works well for that purpose, not worried about patches as it not on the web.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Alotheone:
It's running good so far.

I'm new to the custom rom process, but i somehow did it. My tablet is the GT P3113 (espressowifi)

I installed LOS 14.1 first, but i realized that it performed slow after 2 days. After getting more research, i found Unlegacy which i would say is the best custom rom for this tablet, however i install UA 7.1.2 June 18 2020 build and it was missing the status bar. i reinstalled it and it was the same issue, alongside the notorious slowdown from running 7.1.2. I downgraded to UA 6.0.1 February 9 2019 build which i planned to leave on the tablet, but it was missing a charging screen when the device was powered off. That was the only issue for UA 6.0.1 for me. Right now i'm running LOS 13 June 25 2020 build, which is mostly fine with the only issues for me being the random app crashes and overheating. My phone was destroyed, and since COVID 19 put a stop in my phone replacement plan, so i had to fall back on this tablet. LOS is nice, but i really miss UA roms. Is anyone experiencing the same bugs i have with UA 6.0.1 (no charging screen when device power off) and UA 7.1.2 (no status bar)?

I heard that there were multiple builds of UA 6 & 7.1.2, but i only see three UA 6 builds. I use it for Whatsapp, manga reading, youtube go and monster legends.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] nohctis:
Found this while cleaning up. It still works. :D

Been away to tweaking for a long time. Any good soul there can teach me the new method of installing custom rom to this? Really forgot how to do it.

It still in stock rom 4.2.2.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ze7zez:
If you are bothered by errors in 6.0.1 and 7.1.2, try this year's 4.4.4: CM 11, LOS 11, Slim or OMNI.

Your applications work on 4.4.4.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Tab_Triggerhappy:
+1

I would choose lowest possible Android version that supports the apps you want to run.

For a rooted 8Gb device I also suggest the app Link2SD and a fast big SD card with 2 partitions (fat32 and ext4) to keep internal space as free as possible.

Unrelated blabbering:

Myself I'm just playing around with my P3100 now. Developers have moved on to other devices or interests in life and my intended use didn't get the image quality I wanted.

I actually reverted back to stock Android 4.1.2 (but rooted).

Testing a "hard core" way to have immersive mode with stock ROM. It's the way where you deactivate systemUI, so both status bar and navigation bar is removed completely.

Be sure to have a working alternative for navigation first! I use LMT Pie menu.

However, with scripts you can toggle this and get systemUI back.

The app SManager (free) lets you create the scripts and even run one of them at boot.

I run the "stop systemUI" script at boot. There is a delay of course and I don't know if it's possible to make the script run earlier in the boot process.

SManager also lets you create widgets, so I have both scripts as widgets to toggle between having systemUI running or not.

Things to be aware of is that if I start the camera. LMT won't show, so to get out of that I had to go to the gallery via the button in camera app.

So testing your alternative navigation in every app you use is vital.

Also some functions in LMT doesn't work when systemUI is stopped, like Recent Apps.

No background image, so screen turns black without systemUI.

There must be other stuff affected I'm sure, but I haven't discovered all yet...

And as usual this site won't accept my screenshots, so sorry for that.

Edit:

Added a widget for settings and a widget for a script that starts Taskmanager.

Now I use it for streaming TV and Movies.

Nice! A script activated from LMT Pie can open the minitaskcloser service.

I created the scripts in SManager, so it took a while before I discovered I had to add .sh to the scriptfile :D
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] aat596:
I use PostmarketOS with this tablet. I have written a guide about it: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-2/general/linux-native-linux-samsung-galaxy-tab-2-t4171483.

So yes, this device can run Linux, but it's in testing mode and many things does not work, also a bit laggy (glad wifi works). Give it a try if you feel adventurous!

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] rocketrazr1999:
Which version? Wifi or Verizon model? My Verizon Tab 2 is bootlooping after trying to configure 18 apps because vi attempted to restore it to factory and instead just wiped the TWRP out and now it loops at the splash. So I am going to hook it up ADB to my PC and flash the factory firmware. Then I will have to root it to delete all the crap so that it can actually run at an acceptable speed. From experience I know I won't be able to update any apps for the most part, but I really just want it to use as a Kindle since my phone is too small (Essential ph-1). Anyway, ironic that I found this post, now I'm off to find the factory firmware, lol.

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

Yup, I have no charging screen on my rooted Verizon Tab 2. Can't remember the ROM vim running cuz it bootlooos after trying to update all 18 apps. I recall it had been running very slow, mainly due to my massive customizations and the updated apps being too much for it. So I going to restore it to original condition and root it so I can uninstall bloatware, and with a freeze to app updates I should be ok to use it as a web browser and Kindle reader. Ok wish me luck
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] KappaTheCapper:
Well you are a bit lucky I think, Someone is working on a new ROM and he could possibly be making it android 8.0 but I am not sure if he will or not, Only time will tell. And I gotta agree with you I love this tablet as well, it's the perfect size!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
Even I have one !

I too have a gt p3100. I currently am on sungsonic hd. It works like heaven as it is debloated. I saw in above posts that many are looking for a most stable rom.

All you have to do is install latest version of resurrection remix 5.7.4 (android 6 )

Gapps (if needed)

Noob kernel (a must if you want speed !)

And you'll have most fastest rom ever !!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barron_arrow:
I bought a refurbished T530NN to play my favorite game ORNA. (a GPS based RPG) It came pre-loaded with 5.0.2 and ORNA needs at least 6.1 to play. After a looooooot of study I was able to install crDroid 7.1.1 and I can now play ORNA. The problem is that ORNA runs really slowly. I'm not sure if it is slow because of hardware limitations of the Tab 4 or if there is a version of android that would speed up the game. I did try installing LightningFastRom7.1, thinking it would speed things up, but I couldn't get it installed for some reason. Do you have any suggestions on ROMS or modifications that would speed up game-play?

After the March update and the new Sunset darkmode function gboard stays white and does not go into darkmode
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] TENN3R:
Happened to me too, I think it's just some bug of gboard. Go on apkmirror and download the lastest beta version of gboard, install it, then try enable/disable dark theme and see if it works.

It fixed it for me
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] itchy67x:
thx for the advise.

It's so annoying that google can't even work out such little things for their own products. Faceunlock still doesn't work for me with this patch, at least they send a replacement device pretty quickly.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] TENN3R:
The face unlock bug can be fixed by resetting the device from the settings menu, there's no need to replace the phone as it's just a software bug.

Just make sure to backup what you need because it wipes eveything you have on your phone.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] 100rabh7791:
Hi sorry i didn't quite follow. How do you set gboard for auto function for dark mode?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] TENN3R:
Nothing to set, it does that automatically.

When you first flash the march update, the gboard version probably has a bug that keeps it on light theme even with dark mode active.

Once you install a newer version, for example from apkmirror, it should fix this and follow the system theme again, no need to set it manually.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] 100rabh7791:
Hi can you tell me the version number you are on? and one more question Gboard has many themes both light and dark. how will it tell which themes i want for day and night mode?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] TENN3R:
I have version 9.1.6.29, I think there is no way to select two specific themes, it automatically switches between the "Google blue light" and "Google blue dark", the ones with the classic Pixel blue color in the preview
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
You can try the dark mode fix:

https://mobilesyrup.com/2020/01/04/force-gboard-follow-android-system-dark-mode-toggle-2/

Basically, create a keyboard theme then delete it so you're back on the default. Toggling dark mode off and on to test if it works.

If it doesn't, remember that Gboard during the day time default theme, does match the accent color set in the OS theme.
