need some help getting this up and running.

hi I have this tablet That my girlfriend had before we were dating and I modded it a long time ago and I dont remember exactly what model it is. I think its a tab 2. its 10.1 inch I know it was the nook edition. I can tell you it currently has an unofficial version of cm 13 and the device is listed as sm-t530. What i want to try to do is put an official version or very stable unofficial version of cm on it. The gapps always crash on it and the battery dies really fast. So can anyone tell me if I can use the p5110 rom listed on the cm downloads page? Or if there is something here i can use. And also where is the best place to get gapps from? That seems to be my biggest issue with this tablet I cant seem to get the gapps working right. It has been a while since I have tinkered with android roms because I finally got a nexus 6p and that phone doesnt even need modding it just works. Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey I just realized that this is in the wrong forum. How can I move it to the q&a? Sorry it's been a while and I wasn't paying attention to what forum I was in.

Newbie here + require a fast updated rom to flash??

Hi all,
I have not been here in yonks but I know this forum is always helpful. I am trying to flash a slim updated rom on my old android galaxy note. Out of no where, so many of my apps on that phone stopped working and it kept saying, this device is not compatible etc. I tried all the tricks and still a lot of apps will not work.
I have Odin pro installed on the phone but I forgot how to use it lol so may require direct instructions. But can someone recommend a fast but small in size build to flash which is updated. It says on my galaxy note that it’s running 4.1.2 which is jelly bean. If I recall it’s probably a custom rom but it’s been so long.
Thanks I advance if anyone can help me with instructions, I know it’s easy to do, but it’s been ages.
Cheers [emoji106][emoji106]

Rooting and installing custom rom how to?

Hi all, I've looked around and tried my best to understand how to room and install a custom rom on my Xoom 2 but I can't find the files to do such job. Every time I would click the link for the tutorial to download the rom required, the page isn't found.
If someone could point me in the right direction with how to root and install a custom rom, I would much appreciate it.

I've found my old tablet and would like very much to update it, it's kind of useless now. I can't find the files aswell

It's a shame as its such a good tablet. I only want to use it for web browsing and sitting in bed watching Youtube or Twitch, but with Youtube, when I launch the app It sends me to the play store as there is a updated version, but it won't let me update it.
So I assume that the tablet's software is too old and that's why I wanted to install a more up to date rom.
Hopefully someone will step forward and give us the help and the right direction to the files needed

Same here
I would like to flash a custom ROM to a Xoom 2 Media Edition (MZ607) because some important apps won't open in the stock Android 4.0.4. It looks like some people had developed ROMs for it to run Android 5.1 (or 5.1.1), but I am not able to find this ROM. If someone knows where this ROM is supposed to be, I will be very grateful! I rooted it with Kingoroot but this won't get me any far without a ROM...

SM-T585 Question

Hi Everyone
I don't know if I am posting this thread in the right place and if I am not I apologise first. I own the Tablet mentioned in the title and something is bugging the hell out of me, I recently installed TWRP and then installed a no-verity mod or whatever they are called and also a gapps mod and finally a Android Rom. Can you tell I am a noob when it comes to this kind of thing. Anyway everything seemed fine and everything worked except Google thinks my Samsung is a Xioami which I am not really happy about, if I could change it so it comes back as the tablet it's supposed to be I would, but unfortunately I can't.
What I am asking is if any of you guys can link me a Latest G apps and No Verity and also a Pie Rom so I can put my tablet the way it should be I would be very grateful. I use Odin and that's the only way I know how to do this. I told you I was a noob,I have tried looking myself but have no idea where to look and what is stable and working hence me asking
Thanks for reading

"A rose by any other name, would smell as sweet." I don't understand why you are making such a big deal out the name. If you want to pass the safenet, it is NECESSARY. Your choice. Go back to stock, fail safetynet or accept the name change.

Or install another custom rom !

I need to urgently upgrade from 6.1 to 8.1

So, the Quebec government here has come out with a vaccine passport which will be needed to do just about anything. Therefore, I will need to upgrade the wife's S5 to 8.1, from 6.1, as 8.1 is the minimum for this app to work. This goes into effect September 1.
Now, I see a bunch of things online obviously, but as I recall this place here was/is the holy grail for cell phones. Just hoping to not have to buy a new phone as our pensions don't leave all that much wiggle room.
Note that I just need the stock rom for 8.1. Not looking to root or other such things.
Model #sm-g900w8
Just need to be pointed in the right direction is all. Once I know a source can be trusted I should, hopefully, be able to take it from there.
Thanks.

Well, I do need to try anyway, otherwise I will absolutely have to buy a new phone, which I am trying to avoid if possible.
Thanks though.

Had replied to you in a different thread that didn't have as much info as above.
Unfortunately there is absolutely no chance of getting a stock 8.1 rom on the S5 they stopped developing at 6.1
Best bet is to flash a custom rom like LOS or mokee both trusted roms. But you'll need to flash a custom recovery TWRP.
But yeah Unfortunately that's basically your only option without upgrading the device for a newer model
Good luck

No worries, glad you got it sorted eventually

You're going to get a better experience with a newer phone.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.quebec.vaccandroid&hl=en_US&gl=US App says 5.0 and up. No need for 8.1. Maybe you should read before panicking.

Hi, you will find all you need to upgrade to Android 11 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...g-galaxy-s5-from-stock-to-android-11.4354951/
