Stock 4.01 vs. 4.1.2 vs 4.2.2 - Galaxy Tab 2 General

Hi
I am considering updating my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 currently running 4.04, but I am usure about which version to chose. I prefet stock roms. And I can see that they either offer 4.1.2 or 4.2.2.
4.1.2 is fastest/best? From what I can read 4.2.2 makes it very slow

Try them all. You won't know till you've tried then yourself .

Make sure you do a hard reset after every flash .

4.2.2 is terrible. Do not upgarde to it. Everything is very laggy and slow - I am evem having random reboots from time to time.

I recommend 4.1.x , coz it's best

If you must stay stock, I would stick to 4.1.x.
As for me I would prefer a CM rom, just to get rid of the crapware and the speed improvements.

Cm ROM is actually really stable I'm on 4.3

4.1.1. 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 are slower and buggy.

My tab 2 came with 4.0.3 and it was laggy as hell but after i updated to the official 4.2.2 for france ( the only official 4.2.2 on sammobile ) it's much more stable and fluent ....

i have cm 10.1.3 (4.2.2 android version) and im totally satisfied by its performance. My 3110 is way faster than in stock 4.1.2 due to all these preloaded useless apps that i dont need them. I havent found any drawback compared to stock 4.1.2

4.3 only if you don't want stock. Its fastest custom rom. But from stocks 4.1.2.

All these ROMs sucks,,,,I am on slimbean 4.3.1,,this is pretty much fast,,,

Nup. I'm running the German 4.1.2 firmware on my 8000 and no issues
Flash with ODIN... There's a new German JB rom out today too...
Pretty bad when Germany is already on 2nd version of JB 4.1.2 and here in Oz we're still on ICS....
I had enough waiting for the oz firmware so I flashed the uk 8010. I thought htc sucked with updates but samsung take the cake. A nexus device next for me.

[Q] Best way to get LTE on Nexus 4

I recently switched from a Galaxy s3 to a Nexus 4 and would like to get LTE on it as Rogers does not support DC-HSPA 42Mbps. So far from all the threads i have read say there are a few ways to do this:
1) downgrade to 4.2.1
2) Flash 4.2.2 with the .33 Radio.
3) custom Rom 4.2.2 with .33 Radio.
From what i gathered people who flashed .33 radio (or older) on 4.2.2 have been having a range of problems. And apparently 4.2.1 has a lot of bugs in general?
It would be great if someone who has already done this could post about their experience with each of the options as i'm tired of reading pages and pages of posts about how the Nexus 4 is not suppose to have LTE and to be happy with the hspda etc.
Thanks
I am also interested in this any advice would be appreciated

If you happen to lose the ability to make or receive calls on your Nexus 4 on the .33 baseband then you must flash the latest .48 baseband to make calls.
I am going to flash a 4.1.2 ROM when I get home I had a nexus 4 when they first came out running lte went to a note 2 and now back again to nexus 4;I am running the latest paranoid android 3.1 and faux kernel but the internet is painfully slow without lte I really can't take it any more will try 4.1.2 then 4.2.2 with the different radios

I am almost positive that there is no backwards compatibility with Android. Meaning, that since the Nexus 4 debuted with 4.2, you couldn't run a 4.1.2 ROM, and that's why they don't exist (to my knowledge).
to anyone interested i flashed a .33 radio from paranoidandroid 3.1 / latest faux kernel and i now have lte back - now everything is good !!

You're able to make and receive calls using the .33 radio with the latest update from PA?

golfinggino,
Could you be a little more clear/descriptive? What ROM/kernel are you running now? Are you still running 4.2.2 stock or something else? Did you follow instructions that you found somewhere?
Thanks in advance,
JT

Yes was running the latest paranoid android and faux kernel wasn't happy with it and just flashed the latest carbon ROM ( much better) along with today's faux update, lte is working on the this ROM as well
i made and received some phone calls and didn't notice anything unusual, i will test making and receiving some calls tomorrow
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app
tested it today and the call quality seems to be better on the .33 radio then the latest one ? could just be me ? anyway ran on lte all day was connected to wifi for bit and still managed 5 hours screen on time - just picked up a nexus 10 today and in the process of loading up carbon rom on it - that should really fly !
hey again guys thanks for all the responses and sorry about the late response.

I think im going to try the Carbon rom too. Did you have to flash the older radio with it or no? sorry im new to flashing roms and radios and such.
Thanks again guys will post again with my results (hopefully wont mess up my phone in the process XD)
yes i flashed the older radio - the one i used was cwm-radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.1.1700.33.zip
i was running paranoidandroid 3.1 but think the carbonrom is smoother
Only problem is that at least on cyanogenmod using any radio other than version 48 causes auto focus in the camera to not work.

What the heck....that is so irrelevant. There is absolutely no relation between the camera application and the baseband. It has to be a CM 10.1 rom issue.

Test it for yourself. Many have had problems with autofocus on .33 radio. Updating baseband fixes that issue. And if updating the baseband fixes it, by definition it's not a cm issue.

TW 4.1.2 Bootloader

I may not have posted on the correct sub-forum, but can anyone post an odin flashable TW 4.1.2 bootloader (if possible)? I want to try AOSP custom roms but am on 4.2.2 stock TW. So will flashing the 4.1.2 bootloader do the job instead of flashing the 4.1.2 rom?:silly:
You need to flash the whole 4.1.2 ROM AFAIK

Yep. It's awesome.
I'm staying with Bean's ROM version 6 (on 4.3) and never look back or forward for that matter.
