New to the tab 10.1 few questions

So I got this tab from a friend for free and need to make it better.
First I need to figure out the teems I'm reading in development. I see things like p4 and p4wifi. According to my settings this is a GT-P7510. Does that = a p4wifi?
Second I know how to root (have a GS3) but not sure which rom is the one I want. I'm thinking of going to JB, but I've read something about updating the boot loader. I haven't seen any threads on that though.
Any help you could give would be great.

Yes gt-7510 = p4wifi
And if you want jelly bean you need to flash the newest recovery. You can find them all with instruction on this site: droidbasement.com
En welcome to the club bro

To upgrade bootloader, you could use Odin to put a stock 4.0.4 rom on it and then flash the latest CWM to flash CM10.

You don't have to upgrade it to use CM10, but it helps.

Also new to the galaxy tab (but familiar with flashing roms, kernels, etc). I see 2 development sections, so what is the difference between 10.1 and 10.1v. Thx guys.

If I remember that far back the "v" was an early model, very thick different camera specs and processor speed. As soon as the 10.1 came asking in June 2011 the v sank without trace.
To answer OP am running AOKP jellybean 4.1.2, rock solid, snappy and vanilla android if that's your thing.... tis mine as I run Gnex's as well. Love it!

Dude you already asked this I think...

There is no way any one of us can _ask_ for a 4.3 ROM for good old Glacier... Going for 2.2 to 4.2 was a huge feat. Going to 4.3 would be the most incredible feat ever. We should all appreciate the developers we have more, and thank them for their time, even if we will never have a 4.3 ROM.
Thanks guys!

I agree that all the devs deserve a huge thank you. I have a SGS4G and the devs there work very hard to get our phone to 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 to 4.3 even though Samsung said the phone can't handle it.
My buddy has a glacier and I have seen the great quality of Deva you guys have here and am sure they want 4.3 just as much as everyone here does. All I can suggest is patience and maybe a donation.
One thing we did to help "motivate" everyone is start a bounty threat. Everyone chip in and the pot goes to the dev that makes the first fully functional 4.3. Just a thought.

Great news that albinoman887 got 4.3 off the ground. Unfortunately, I have a problem, and since I'm the junior...est of members, I can't yet post in the development thread where I could ask him this directly, so I thought I'd give this thread a shot.
I did a factory reset on my MyTouch 4G, installed Albinoman's 4.3 (gapps-jb-20130726.zip) ROM and the new GApps (gapps-jb-20130726) zip linked to in his thread, rebooted, and everything appeared to be working until it was time to enter and sync to my GMail account, at which point I received an error message indicating that the AOSP Android keyboard had closed. Sure enough, every time I attempted to input anything, the message reappeared and I had no way of logging into my Google account. Touch screen input works, but without a keyboard, that's as far as I could go.
Thinking maybe I had a corrupted GApps zip, I did another full wipe, re-flashed the ROM, and this time tried the 07/13 GApps zip; unfortunately, when I rebooted, I got identical behavior. Since I needed to use my phone as a, you know, phone (they still do that!) tonight, I did yet another wipe, flashed the latest 4.2 ROM (also from Albinoman) and, to make sure it worked, the newest 07/26 GApps. No problems, seems to work perfectly.
I've checked albinoman's 4.3 thread, and, while there are a few bug reports, no one else seems to be having this keyboard problem. I never had (unusual) keyboard issues with 4.2 or any older ROMs, and it works fine now, so this doesn't appear to be a hardware issue.
Any suggestions? As a n00b, is there any way for me to message albinoman directly without coming off as a d-bag? Thanks in advance...

Issue Free 4.3 Rom for Kid

Hey Guys,
I recently upgraded to the new Nexus 7 and am giving my old one to my little sister. I wanted to update to 4.3 but am not sure if there are any stable roms that she won't need to update or trouble shoot yet.
Any suggestions?
Should i just try the stock 4.3 for her?
Thanks

I would recommend stock 4.3
1. Wont need to trouble shoot.
2. Will get a message when Google pushes an update
3. Stable

I agree with kilometers4...
Stock JellyBean 4.3 is smooth, stable and secure.... and has minimal maintenance hassles.
Difficult to recommend anything else really.
Rgrds,
Ged.

Anything with stock kernel is basically reliable in the fact the source is AOSP so everything is opened up to us and is stable. Can't go wrong with stock. I myself am currently using one of the first roms that came out Clean ROM 4.0 and it's just peachy.

What everyone else said. For a kid the most stable and trouble free ROM is usually stock.

Just coming back to the s4 after being gone about a month

Hello all. As I wrote in my title, I'm just coming back to the s4 after being gone for about a month. I've flashed a few roms and I've noticed that data stops working on almost all the ones I've tried. I tried the Google edition and flashed a different kernel to get WiFi working--when I did WiFi worked but data was broken. Then I tried tri force, data did not work. Finally I tried the one with the weird name (sorry--I know that doesn't help much but I know viper appears in quite a few places in the thread). I am currently on liquid smooth (cm based 10.1) and thankfully it's flawless. I love it but I like variety and I wish I could find a debloated TW rom to play around with. Why it's the data borked on so many of them? I'm not exactly a noob--been an android user for years and I've flashed many a roms. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong, unless there's something different or weird with the s4. Can anyone kindly shed some light on my predicament? I'm now downloading negalite. Gonna see if that one has functioning data. It almost seems as tho you have to flash a custom kernel all the time now to get data. Is this right? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: rom name I couldn't remember is visionX (by the axman)

Been on Triforce since July with KTkernal and haven't had any issues at all. Negalite is a good one, I like it a lot. If you stick with it think about setting up svn as there's lots of updates.

R u on MF9?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2

I have no idea why as I've tried everything I can think of and read but aosp runs better on my S4 than tw, as crazy as that sounds its been true for me. I love Aosp so I'm good. I'm on mf9 via otas and tried all recoveries made and always end up with some type of system or phone fc or the "detected an app".. .blah blah warning which annoys the crap outa me so I just stay on aosp as there are a ton of great ones for us and they work wonderfully -the once in a while call bug which I do not come across that much really ams when I do I made a shortcut for fast reboot via rom toolbox and just hit it when it happens and its good.

Yes I am, data, wifi and all that are fine. Haven't had even one reboot with Triforce, battery life is great. I really have not had any issue with it at all, it's rock solid for my phone.

Well I installed negalite and so far it's perfect. Everything seems to be working & it has a great amount of tweaking enabled. Thanks guys. Now I have a solid aosp rom and a solid TW rom. I'm one happy camper.

Just FYI.....If you flash a TW MF9 rom with the stock kernel and WiFi is broken after boot (can and has happened with Negalite, TriForce, etc) there is a modified stock kernel that can be flashed to fix if needed.

The one Nega posted works good: http://www.download.negalite.com/Negalite_S4_Mods/Negalite_Stock_MF9_Kernel.zip
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4

I must be lucky, because I have had no such issues with any rom (AOSP or TW). If I flash the stock rooted MF9 rom followed by the stock MF9 kernel, I have wifi and data. Same goes for any other TW rom as well as every AOSP rom I've tried.

[Q] Cyanogenmod Compatibility

I am attempting to root my old XT907 before I give it to a friend and I am somewhat confused on which software versions Cyanogenmod works with. The Razr M I have is at system version 98.16.3 with the option to upgrade to 98.30.1. The build number is 9.8.1Q-78-1. The Cyanogenmod wiki says that Cyanogenmod can only be accomplished on firmware versions prior to 9.20.1, but there are also articles saying that the phone can not be rooted on Android 4.1.2 (which I currently have). Should I update to 98.30.1 or stay at the current version?
EDIT: I am familiar with the overall root and custom ROM process, but I only have experience with Samsungs so far (I have rooted and put CM on a Fascinate and a GS3). I have worked with Odin, adb, CWM, and TWRP, but not SafeStrap or some of the other non-Samsung utilities, so please excuse my illiteracy concerning Motorola rooting and custom ROMs.

According to CM's wiki, CM is only compatible with an unlocked bootloader. So, if you haven't unlocked your bootloader, you won't be able to use it, even with SafeStrap. CM's compatibility is not based off system version, it's based off the system versions that allowed us to unlock the BL. 98.16.3 is the version that locked the bootloader. You can root on your current version and on the newest OTA, but you will only be able to use SafeStrap to load a very narrow selection of SafeStrap compatible ROMs.

So there is no way to unlock the bootloader on 98.16.3 or 98.30.1?

Correct, although with the previous post being mentioned, you can safestrap and get cm10. When I ran cm10 on my end, it had only one issue that I know of which was the camera .

I think there was one, but no one can dig it up. The camera issue is caused by kernel incompatibility.

Why do you not up load & post your ss version of cm to maybe the original thread? A cam could be found to work ? No? Btw, Mega is very good now.
