friend has a galaxy 10.1 wifi tab. No 3g service or carrier. What can you recommend for a Rom that is stable without many issues if any?
Can he flash a Rom that is made for sprint or verizon? Also, will the custom Roms for the galaxy 7 inch work?
I'm coming from thunderbolt world, so i know nothing about samsung or tabs.
thanks
The 10.1 has its own forum:

And, no. The ROMs for the 7" will decidedly not work with the 10.1 unless you just want to brick your device.

Hey All,
I'm still really new to this whole custom ROM for Android experience. One ROM I've heard of positive things about is Overcome.
Am I misunderstanding or is this a GSM ROM that will therefore not work on my CDMA Tab?
Further, are there any good ROMs I should have a look at?
Thanks!

I'm in the market for a used 7" Galaxy tab. I want to be able to flash ICS on it so naturally I looked at which devices have ICS ports already posted in the development section.
It looks like those that have ICS support also have cellular data (which I don't need.) so I started looking for used Galaxy Tabs with a cellular modem.
I found some decently priced Sprint Galaxy Tab 7" and the Tmobile Galaxy tab 7". but it looks like these are not considered to be P1000 so will they work with Cm9/ ICS?
Also, how is the GPS chip in these units? I have a Galaxy tab 8.9 and the GPS is the best I have ever seen in a tablet/phone with a full lock in under 3 seconds.
Tmobile galaxy tab 7" is SGH-T849
I am using one that I flashed with Overcome 4.1 ROM with JPZ modem and using it in Australia
It becomes exactly like a P1000. I can get 3G/HSDPA speed, I can make and receive phone calls, everything like a P1000.
thank you for the response. Have you tried cm9?
CM9 has been ported to the Sprint Tab, (in fact to the Verizon tab as well,) the kernel is not perfect at the moment, so while the Tab won't be bricked, you may experience a few more issues than if you had a GSM tab. Bear in mind, both of these are in alpha, so they have issues. As with any Alpha, Beta, or work in progress, things will not be nearly as smooth as they will be once the rom is in RC (release candidate) or final. Also, you will probably want to keep tabs, (no pun intended,) on the rom's progress and keep flashing newer versions to get enhanced functionality and stability.
Here are the two posts in the dev section about ICS on the Galaxy Tab. They are both the same rom, they are created and worked on by the same devs. They just represent different stages of development. I would suggest reading through both:
The Current Work in Progress:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385153
(This seems to be the more current build)
The Alpha 3 Version of the above ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322059
(This is updated with each new Alpha, rather than on a rolling basis like the thread above)
I've never had any trouble getting a GPS lock in my Sprint GT7, I have on occasion used it as a GPS navigator (via Google Maps Navigation,) while in rental cars. It never steered me wrong, (pun intended.)
I hope this info makes your choice easier. Good Luck!
Thank you. Lots of good information.
If you haven't bought one, and don't mind paying a little bit more, I think you should get the GSM version (usually the T-mobile one is a bit cheaper?).
You see there are a lot more custom ROMs on GSM than CDMA, so more choices.
I think mainly because GSM is widely deployed worldwide, so we get more devs participating in that hardware.
I haven't used CM9 on my T-mobile tab, but I am 100% sure it will work. Just haven't taken the plunge.
Yeah, I'm trying to find the GSM version but the cheapest I've seen is $275 used.
The Sprint version is readily available for around $200.
This is going to replace my Pioneer navigation unit in my car so audio out via the dock is important. It will connect to a 4 channel amp. Reliable GPS is a must.
I have an 8.9" Galaxy tab which I love but it's too big and expensive to put in the dash permanently and there is no easy way to make it removable at that size while still making it look decent.
A 7" original galaxy tab is the perfect fit. Even the 7.0 plus is slightly too big.
Anyway, I'll keep looking for a cheap SGH-T849, one is bound to pop up at some point.
After going through many tablets and what not... I decided to go ahead and get the galaxy tab 7.7 P6810 wifi version. I was opted to get the p6800 but I don't think I could carry that around all the time so I will just tether it when I need it to my galaxy note.
I ended up selling my htc evo view, then my asus transformer prime, and now I'm returning my ipad 3. (I really couldn't tell the difference between ipad 2 and ipad 3.. I mean some apps and text was more clear but overall general use, it was the same.)
my tab 7.7 should be here today... what to do first.
So.. is p6810 same as p6800 without the 3g radio? As far as firmware and custom roms go... can you use either or? Or do you have to only used dedicated software for each device?
Firmware is NOT compatable between the two models, except for the a custom cwm recovery thats been ported over you'll find here.
Double check before flashing making sure you have the correct firmware for your model, or else you could be soft or worst case hard bricked.
Im using noob rom and works nicely, had cooked up my own but was having a few issues on implementing sone mods, so happy with this rom until ICS, whenever that comes......

I just got a Galaxy Tab 4 7.0, and I think I speak for almost any Samsung owner when i say i sincerely hate touchwiz. Is there any sort of lead on an AOSP/AOKP based ROM for the tab? Is there something like impeding the progress of a ROM for it? I would really like to know.
Thank you
With all the explosions and screen cracking issues with the new galaxy note 7, a replacement is needed for many people. But I'm wondering if there is any way for somebody to flash the firmware of the galaxy note (exploding version) onto the galaxy 7 edge. This would be an ideal alternative for me and several other people I know with a similar issue. Is it possible?

You could try the Renovate Note 2.0 ROM for S7 Edge in the custom ROM section of the S7 Edge forum. The link I'll post will direct you to a ROM made for the Exynos S7 Edge, as far as I know, not the Snapdragon. So make sure you know if it works on your phone before installing please.

If you have exynos s7e, you are able to flash them. Half of the roms in the development sections are note 7 port, I am currently running hydrarom
That helps. Thanks. One follow up question though. Will the stylus still be required with either of those roms or will I be able to use it freely with my fingers?
You can even flash a Note 7 stock rom from Sammobile on a S7 Edge but it won't boot.
There are many N7 roms for S7 Edge, and S-Pen won't work on the S7 Edge. You can only use Your finger. I'd recommend either HydraRom or OnTheEdge 4.0. They both are great. And if You don't want to change Your knox to 0x1 then wait till Wednesday, then You can flash Nougat beta with most Note 7 features and probably some extra features.
