FINALLY! :) - Galaxy Tab 2 General

Finally a Galaxy Tab 2 forum! WOOP!
By the way.... FIRST!

Yessssss... took long enough! lol now I can figure out how to update my tab and keep root! I got lost in the many pages and many topics in that thread so I just keep hitting "remind me in 1 day" haha
Hopefully some good ROM's will become available soon as well!

Indeed.

Thanks you XDA!!

My GT2 7" is in the mail. Looking forward to root and new ROMS coming out. Hopefully I will be able to help out make this a great forum.
Anyone know if SwitchMe works well with the tab and the default ROM? I'm looking for a way to have multiple users on the tablet with separate gmail accounts/apps/etc... and SwitchMe looks to be the best way to do that currently.

just want to say congrats on getting the forums, way to come through XDA.

Mods .... Thanks for getting this up and running!

Yesss! I'm excited for what developers will release now!

Exiciting stuff watching this as it grows
thanks everyone! cant wait to be able to load my 32 gb card whenever support for that comes along.

Hey Verizon/Sprint Tab users

Since we are kinda the minority here we really need to stick together. We should start putting a thread together of our wish lists for developers. I feel like we are kinda behind the curve compared to the GSM folks and hope we can get more people involved in CDMa stuff.
Your thoughts.......
Good idea. . . . Just not enough dev in the sgt anyways. I bought my verizon sgt 2 weeks ago in hopes of something fun to flash like a hc port or CM7. I am dissapoint.

Im not concerned with Honeycomb. Waiting for an HID hack for my VZW tab and maybe a few other small things.

HID drivers first.
I would love to see Honeycomb, but would settle for Gingerbread right away.
Im in too.
Not a dev, but willing to help

I am in as well
I am new to this and willing to learn, and will support with beer funds. I am assuming that the vzw efforts will carry over to Sprint since both are cdma devices. I have my galaxy tablet rooted but have not gone any further as I have not fully understood so many of the posts in regards to which are the better rom to use, the best method of flashing based on the rom, so to avoid any of the big issues..aka not booting etc. I am looking for a really good guide to get started. One that says first and foremost fo this before you start so you can recover you device if you really bugger it up.
I was in the same situation as you up until last weekend, notice I avoided using the "same Boat"
for now the first thing you need to get is Heidmall, dl the stock image and warez for your specific unit. If you need help I have aol and Gmail chat, Pm me for that info.

BTW Thanks!!!
HID or SPP Verizon Galaxy
I may have found a solution for the bluetooth keyboard issue. "keypro" on the market will drive certain SPP keyboards (not HID) it is a little more to work with than the single verizon samsung option for keyboard use. I am waiting for my freedom universal standard keyboard and keypro is supposed to support it. You can download the program free and see what keyboards it supports. I will let you know when my keyboard comes in. Sorry if I am in the wrong posting area I just signed up so I could share this.
Thumbs up dude!

Im in man we definetly need to stick together. And while I do really want Honeycomb, I NEEEEEEED HID drivers before anything else! Yay for dev's
I dont profess to be any coding expert, and All I really know anything about is the VZW tab at this point. Sprint files are totally different but loading is the same.
VZW people should be on the look out for a new Kernel from Boushh, Im running it now for 24 hours and its a screamer and totally stable. Latest benchmark was 2221.
It should be out tonight or soon after.
Trying to learn basics of coding and all in the upcoming weeks. Hopefully ill be able to contribute down the road. I bought min early January and am very happy so far.. even with a gingerbread/wp7 hd2 on hand..my tablet is used much more. I have heavily layer into the honeycomblayout/theme and just the changeover to khasmeks work and honeycomb density and layout...I've started using much more. Like I said,I'm really pumped to start deving as I know alot of cdma users will benefit from more work coming to the table..when I start getting confident and have things down pat..even then I can't promise it will be as good as what Boushh has done,but at least it will be an attempt at getting more dev for cdma

[UPDATE 7/24][ROM][BL1.2] Honeycomb Android Illuminate for The Gtablet\Zpad T2

Mod Edit: As stated by forum moderator jerdog in post 814:
FORUM RULES:
"Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited."
The issue here is that directing traffic elsewhere is against XDA rules, and while there is no requirement to actively support your development efforts here at XDA, saying it probably won't be supported at XDA and that they can get support on your forum is kind of low and has been removed after requesting LBS do so - to which he did not after 2 days.

cool let me know what you think so far and if you let me know what the things are you missing the most and really need besides Flash. LOL but yeah I want to make this a Honeycomb that is a well rounded Android. So i want the advice of new features and such they have heard about.
Checked out the youtube video, looks pretty sweet. Will try it out tomorrow to see the improvements with hardware acceleration etc.
Edit: Let's see some benchmark comparisons between BoS and Illuminate.
Make sure you do the following
Unzip recover.zip and move recovery folder to /sdcard folder
The recover.zip file can be found in the Roebeets thread

Humm -- I got stuck with the boot loop . I am updating from 3588 stock recovery
Regards,
Kenny N
After half an hour struggling, I am able to load your HoneyComb edition. I am going to play around with it.
To make everyone's life easier.
Make sure you nvflash your device first using the following nvflash image
http://www.mediafire.com/?g7vorg66iiq29vm
1. Download the nvflash image above.
2. Download the recover.zip from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=596319&d=1305415712 ) and extract the recovery folder to SD root
3. Download this honeycomb image and rename it to update.zip and copy it to your SD root
4. nvflash the nvflash image
5. Reboot with Power + Volumn up. This should bring you to the new bootloader
6. Flash the SDCard external update.zip
7. Wipes
9. Restart
G'd luck . Thanks linuxboxsolution for his contribution. I will comment later.
Nice -- OpenGL is working perfectly. The benchmark from Quandrant is 1780. Not great but can't really complain

That's funny, I could have sworn you claimed previously to have "fixed flash" too!
Does enabling OpenGL break the stock browser? Or have you done something to work around this issue?
Is the main difference from Roebeet's HCAdam and Vegacomb mashup that is Bottle of Smoke that you have enabled opengl?
This looks very promising, currently running BoS 3.3 and was about to jump to 4.1 but I might have to try this first. My apologies if this has already been covered but what exactly is the difference between this ROM and roe's BoS? How were you able to get hw acceleration on here while BoS lacks it?
Thanks alot for your contribution, and I'll be sure to post my findings later today.
just wondering
so if the opengl is fixed, how come flashed is still hasnt fixed?
i believ robeet said the opengl is what makes flash doesn't work
OpenGL is enabled but not working.. it lacks on driver and without flash no OPENGL.. note on that..
and one more thing.. BoS has HWaccel and working, like gingerbread... the only problem is video HWaccel HD playback..
BoS 3.3 or 4.0+ boot quickly too, smooth UI like that, so i can't really tell what's the difference between the two, except for bootanimation.. LOL
I, for one, appreciate your efforts
Going to start posting in XDA's GTAB forums, at least sporadically. I think enough time has passed and things have changed around here (ie a lot of 1.2 mods are popping up, which I think is a good thing). Plus I'm not really seeing the moderator "changes" that were heavily present in April. So maybe things are back to normal. Maybe.
With that in mind, I wanted to say that your efforts are much appreciated - the end goal is to get a good working HC ROM for the users out there and if you have the ear of some people to make that happen, then that's what counts. I already mentioned in Slatedroid that I plan to pull back a bit after this month with modding the GTAB, so any extra dev / modding work is ALWAYS appreciated, imo.
Thanks again.
Looks awesome, will flash once I get my new PC built >
Thanks roe
So first of all thank you for your work.
But this is different from bottle of smoke because it enables OpenGL right?
Any other changes?

3.2 is fantastic on a500

Thank you kekinash, I don't post much but this site is and the people in it are the best. I had to take a moment and Thank you all for every thing I have been able to do with my phones and my Acer. The stock rooted 3.2 for the Acer is GREAT, and was so easy to bring up from the first rooted 3.1 I updated from. Please every one read the devs posts take your time and understand what you are doing and the wealth of information from these people will make Android a great experience for newbies like me.
Thanks many thanks again!
I totally agree. Without this site I might have had to jump ship ion my iconia and switched to an iPad!

Bang Bang......you're dead!
Has anyone been experiencing force closes with 3.2? I cant play some games like Wind-Up Knight on my tablet.
The only force close I have had is the system settings about, as I have the APK that kills the telephony and phone APKS (my battery lasts for days and days now btw) if I reenable these then it does not force close. havent tried that particular game yet but when I first loaded 3.2 golf wouldnt work, I uninstalled and reinstalled the golf and now it works, Try it what could it hurt? also go into the apps and clear the cache from that particular app, then restart the tab and see if that works? I am no expert but at least here is a place to start...
I just sucked it up, did a backup, wiped, and reflashed. All is well now.

Thumbs keyboard is superior to them all I think anyway.
DO not auto update to 3.2 if you are thinking of rooting your tablet.
This will be needed to do backups and install the ad-hoc network tether fix.
Browse and read all the popular threads on this forum.before you mod anything.
Biggest tip of all ..Be nice to erica Renee its been told she is a bad chic.

Wish I had read this before letting my brand new A500 auto update. I really need the ad hoc tethering ability. Am I out of luck? Any way to revert my version back to an earlier version which would allow ad hoc? Thanks for any help.
There is a thread in the dev area on how to revert back and install a rooted 3.2
Also info on applying the ad-hoc file to allow Iconia to connect to ad-hoc network devices such as cell phones.
I will be bad girl only when its fun for me.
thanks for the tip on the thumbs keyboard!

Use for a week or so before changing Rome. See how it is supposed to work, then you now have a references to go by.

Now there is some good advice.
Also, gives it a chance to see if there are any defects you need to return it for. Is much easier to return a "stock" tablet, compared to one that is fubarred due to messing up a custom rom flashing.
Technically, rooting a device voids it's warranty. Technically. That's why people try to revert back to stock before returning it due to defects.

Thanks so much. It seems there are several versions available. Which do you recommend? Or should I wait a few days since it seems a new ROM will be available. I really like how 3.2.1 OTA looks and works. But I really need Ad-Hoc wifi. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
Im using rom similar to this but with some changes to better suit me.that I added I cant share mine due to afraid of giving out my personal stuff
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375091
I have not had to downgrade .I waited until there was a rooted update.you can however try the new pda-net app in the market for tethering.
Use this method to update to 3.2.1, root and install cwm

Why?
Someone should make a sticky similar to this .Lots of bricked devices over and over
Can someone give me some icecream .. RIGHT NOW...
My best tip and advice i can give anyone is the fallowing..
BEFORE FLASHING HACKING OR CHANGING YOUR TABLET AT ALL... DO THE FALLOWING
1 Turn your iconia off and put it in the other room.Far away from you..
2 start with the general Forum on xda read every forum related to someone bricking and hacking there device..
3 read all the [email protected] forum threads ..
4 read EVERY FORUM THREAD IN THE DEVELOPMENT THREAD.. 3 TIMES !!!!!
5 GO BACK AND READ EVERYTHING IN THE DEVELOPMENT THREAD..
6 MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE DEVELOPERS AND SMART GUYS WHO HAVE BEEN HERE FOREVER
7.. BE NICE TO ERICA.. GIGGLES..
8. Back up Back up AND BACK UP YOUR BACKUPS TO TWO OR MORE PLACES..
Now if you have completed all of the above.. Save your money up so that you have enough to replace your tablet . Do this in the event that something goes wrong.. It can happen to anyone who flashes a device..
Then Be nice To Erica Renee..
and good luck flashing.
one more then .. when you make a backup...
try restoring it.. before you flash your tablet.. lots of people have made backups that failed....
one more thing
BE NICE TO Erica Renee...
have a nice day and dont forget to Be Nice to Erica..Renee.. xoxoxo
Are people being mean to you or something? You really want this person to be nice to you

unofficial Lineage OS 17.1 ?

Just stumbled upon this, but it seems kinda sketchy referring to @Quallenauge (who's listed as inactive - sorry if you aren't ) and XDA, but having no thread about it here on XDA...

You can try this version, but make sure you perform the migration script (official -> unofficial) if needed.
I was too lazy to create a new topic for this version. I have a YTX703L and it runs as good LOS16.1 runs. So I found no show stoppers.
Works pretty well
works pretty well...but ive flicker and glitches on the display...its getting less in the last build...will you go on and work on the newest Android version ?

Hi
I've been watching these forums like a hawk trying to get my tablet to run smooth considering the bad software from Lenovo.
Would you say it's working well with this version?
If the battery life is good and the bugs aren't too many , I wanna try it!
My now Lineage 16 is working alright, the tablet is fast but the battery is not as good as stock sadly.
Is is good enough for a daily driver?

Have been experiencing some lock up after long idle time. I mostly use my Yoga to watch movies and use MX Player. A few times would find launcher unresposive when come back from work and the only recovery is to power cycle. I do get restart option on long press of power button, but when choose to restart tablet does not come back on its own.
As for the battery, I've decided to attempt rebuilding it using new individual cells. Will post my results if I succeed or not.
Once/if battery issue is resolved, I probably will roll back to Lineage 16 and wait for a stable 17 release.
Just installed, working well
Thanks very much to the dev for continuing to release builds for this device. Just upgraded from OS16 today. Install worked really well with no issues. So far it's running nicely. New gesture navigation system is working in Trebuchet launcher, so now my phone and tablet are the same, it was annoying before having different interfaces on different devices. Excellent work, thanks a lot!
The last update was 10.08.2020, do we see a new one?
It looks like as we get no more updates, so I will go back to 16.
Sorry
surprise, surprise. Just after I went back to 16 a new 17.1 update arrived, dated 17.09.2020. I did a dirty install and it worked out.
Thanks
However, I am still wondering if it is worth switching from 16 to 17
If you are happy with Android 9 , keep it. If you are willing to have Android 10 than go for it. What new, I have no idea.
