loving it
The latest update is great! Still having a problem with the flashplayer causing crashes though..any recommendations other than the hacked apk that is available in the build?
Thanks JR,
This will always be the ROM running on my GTAB. You are a great asset to the gtab community!
tlbardelljr
This isn't a new problem (I've had it with all the Honeycomb ROMs I've used), but when I hold the power button and choose "Recovery", my G Tablet doesn't boot into recovery, it just reboots normally. I can only get into recovery by holding the volume up button while rebooting. Is this normal? It isn't really a big deal, but I thought I'd report it.
I'm running Flashback 10.3.
JazzRuby, Thank you so much for posting an update for the Gtab, any new ROM is a welcome, but more so for a HC!!!
So again Thanks!!
Just got the gtab from a friend. This ROM is amazing, but no working flash player, can't play anything. Any ideas?

Flash player DOES work (kind of). If you long press on the area where the flash "would be." And then press in the upper-left of the area, you can make the flash object full screen, where it WILL work!
which version?

Are you using the hacked flash.apk?
Nope, just update or fresh download the newest version that shows up in the market and most browser pages with flash videos will play (you can hear them but prob not see them) then you kind of have to "guess" where that "full screen" button is on the video window, and if you hit it spot on, it should launch the flash video full screen. It's a *****, but it works. I'm going back and reloading some of the other HC roms to see which one I can live with for now.
Hey everyone!
Just put this on my gtab, and i have an issue. When i go to install an app, it causes a reboot from the splash screen, and when it comes back up, the wifi doesnt work(gives an error) until i restart the tablet.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

This is a known issue with the Shutdown.apk (app), unfortunately no resolve at the moment, but will look into it further.

Thanks for the quick repsonse!
Alright, well a bit of a rollercoaster here..
I went through and followed this guide to get my tablet up to 4349.
This one
Then, I attempted to install CWM .8 to manage roms and such.
That did not work, it soft bricked the device, so i went and NVFlashed it back, and went through the process of getting it back to 4349.
I then used the included recovery (v3?) to install Flashback.
Any tips on getting CWM to go on along with 4349?
EDIT: So far its happened with every app, it downloads fine. When it switches to "installing..." the tablet goes to the Flashback splashscreen.

OK, I think I follow you, your currently running Flashback 10.3, correct?
If so, you can flash/install ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8 rev5 internally.
FB 10.3 includes the recovery binaries for Stock and ClockworkMod, you just need to flash/install via terminal.
Open/Run Terminal Emulator and type the following:
$ su - become Superuser
# cwmrecovery.sh - will flash/install ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8
# fixrecovery.sh - will flash/install Stock recovery
Terminal Emulator: https://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
Thanks! I will try that out and post back!
Haha yeah I was, Im just gonna start from the beginning to try and iron out any problems I may have caused.
Also, the kernel in the first post, will that help improve stability? Or is it simply the overclock?
Thanks for your help!

First of all, make sure you're on 1.2 bootloader; if you've already NVFlashed 4349 then you are.
Second, download and flash/install this ClockworkMod:
http://dev-host.org/g4e68tsmgdlp/gTab.cwm.3028.1.2.zip
If you already got ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8 rev5 then skip the above, if not, and you have Stock recovery, then rename to update.zip and flash.
Third, use the 'Clean' install method in the OP.
Flashback 10.3 already has pershoot's kernel baked in, the 2 kernel pkgs in the OP are to allow trying/testing between the two.
-JR-
Could you point me in the direction of finding that version of NVFlash? Im using one that goes to a very old version of TnT and then i need to wait for an OTA update.
Ive searched on the forum but havent turned up much.
That makes more sense. Thanks for all your help. I dont want to come across as a noob, but for some reason this tablet has been giving me the most trouble of all getting this stuff right. haha
---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------
*facepalm* All I had to do was reinstall Flashback.
Thanks so much for your help! It no longer restarts when I install apps.
So i think the problem was down to that I didnt use CWM to install it, after I used NVFLASH v5 it installed that new version of CWM you mentioned. I then did a CLEAN install of Flashback and so far so good! I hope this can help someone else out as well.
Looking good JR. Keep up the great work!
Is anyone else missing the \system\ data\ folder where the hacked adobe flash apk
I'm coming from flashback 10.1 upgrade install, wiped cache and dalvik cache
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
WARNING: Using sections A, B or E will increase your flash counter and thus void your warranty.
NOTE: This device is almost unbrickable so long as you don't mess around with bootloaders, so if something goes wrong post in the Q&A section and we'll help you fix it.
MODEL NUMBER KEY:before you use this guide, you must find your model number.
First digit: 5 for tab 10.1, 3 for tab 7.0
Final three digits: 100 for 3g, 110 for wifi international, 113 for wifi American
SECTIONS:
A. Root stock ICS or JB
B. Install a JB-based ROM
C. Install a ICS-based ROM
D. Install a kernel
E. Restore to stock
F. Flash a file with Mobile ODIN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Root stock ICS or JB
This should root any gtab2 10.1 or 7.0 model running ICS or JB. It will not wipe any data.
1. Download and install if you don't already have them:
SAMSUNG KIES
Odin v1.83
2. Download the correct ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) for your device according to model number:
CWM6 for p5100
CWM6 for p5110
CWM6 for p5113
CWM6 for p3100
CWM6 for p3110 and p3113
3. Put the SuperSU installer zip on your MicroSD card or internal storage.
4. Turn off the tablet
5. Hold volume UP (away from power button) for a few seconds

10. Uncheck Auto Reboot In ODIN
11. Click Start.
12. Hold power until the screen goes black to get out of download mode. Hold power and volume down until you see the "Galaxy Tab 2" screen. If you mess up and the tablet boots normally, start over from step four. If your recovery says "stock recovery <3e>", then you missed a button combo when booting and Clockworkmod was overwritten by your ROM. No harm done, just start over from step 4.
13. Use the volume buttons to navigate to install zip from sdcard, then choose zip from sdcard (or internal storage)
14. Select the zip file you downloaded in step 3 and install it.
15. Click "reboot system now"
16. If you're on 4.0.4 or 4.1.1, you will see a message asking you if you want to delete the OEM/stock recovey. Say yes.
16. You should be rooted!
NOTE: CWM recovery can deleted if you perform a normal boot when your tab is on the 4.0.4 or 4.1 stock ROM. If your recovery is deleted, perform steps 4-12 again to get it back.

THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DATA! IT MAY ALSO WIPE YOUR INTERNAL SDCARD, SO BACK ANY DATA ON IT UP!
p5100: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P5100/
p5110: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P5110/
p5113: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P5113/

p3110: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P3113/
Note: for more language options and versions of stock ROM's for the tab 10, go here.
1. Download the stock firmware matching your carrier/region for your device from the correct link above. This will take a long time. When it's finished, unzip or unrar it.
2. If and only if your device is currently bricked and hasn't been fixed by other stock restore attempts, AND your ROM includes a .pit file, click PIT and open the .pit file you downloaded, and check Re-Partition in ODIN. Skip to step 4.
3. Reboot into recovery and select wipe data/factory reset.

8. Try to boot the tablet. If it hangs, do not panic, just repeat step 2.
9. Enjoy!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F. Flash a file with Mobile ODIN
Using Mobile ODIN is recommended for advanced users only. You must have root.
Using Mobile ODIN will NOT increase your flash counter, and therefore your warranty will remain intact.
1. Extract or copy the file you want to flash to your tablet. If you're flashing a ROM, you only want the PLATFORM/PDA file (.tar.md5) (almost always the largest file)
NOTE: There are no .pit files in Mobile ODIN. They are installed along with your flashkernel.
2. Download either Mobile ODIN pro ($5) OR Mobile ODIN lite (does not include EverRoot, so you will need to re-root using ODIN) and the p51xx FlashKernel from here.
3. Click on Open File... in Mobile ODIN and find the file you want to flash.
4. If you're flashing a ROM, click Recovery and click clear on the window that pops up.
5. If applicable, enable EverRoot.
6. Select both Wipe data and cache and Wipe Dalvik cache
7. Click flash firmware.
THANKS: weltwon and Chainfire for root & unroot method, codeworkx for the newer versions of CWM, count dooku for discovering than TW ROM's don't include a kernel the hard way, invisiblek for testing stock ROM on p5113, and all you devs who make custom ROM's and kernels.
If this guide has helped you, please hit the thanks button.
Great work!! Thank you!

If you mean the stock ROM's, both of those links work!
Well, crap
I just bought a GT-P5113 from Fry's yesterday and followed your instructions down to the letter. I was only able to get CM9 working but it is having wifi issues (many apps give `fail to download` errors when they download something on the internet - like swiftkey getting language packs)
CleanROM (1.0 and 1.1) and InfectedROM both don't get past the "Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" screen. I even let it sit for an hour to see if something would resolve but it doesn't. I've cleared data, cache, dalvik, etc before each install. I reflashed CWM like 4 times, I've formatted everything except the kitchen sink, I've repaired permissions, nothing.
I wish wish WISH I had a backup of the stock rom to go to as it was a better option than what Im stuck with now (the experimental nightly of CM9)
Is anyone having the same problem and figured it out or am I just going to have to wait until better ROMs come out? :-/
You're going to have to be the tester for the restore to stock procedure above.

I feel your pain. I'm in the same predicament. CleanRom hangs, CM9 is buggy. Peel cannot detect the IR blaster. Pulse and galary are not showing images.
I wonder is there is a page were I can check what bugs have been found and what changes have been made in CM9 nightly?
Thanks.
You can try InfectedROM. I used it and had zero issues.
Thanks MultipleMonomials for the suggestion. Just tried it, but this infectedRom is freezing on the SamsungGalaxyTab2 10.1 boot screen as well. I've waited for 5minutes for something to happen. So I guess I'll hop back to my CM9 backup.
(If only I had a stock backup... well a lesson learned.)
Oh. That's what you meant when you said Cleanrom hung. You might try reflashing a TW kernel (i.e. ADB fix) after flashing InfectedROM. And I don't believe any custom ROM's have support for the IR blaster (I might be wrong).
If i wanted to return to the stock rom on the 7.0 (GT-P3113) which one should I download?
This guide isn't for the tab 7.0.
So to return to stock i have to install (p5110 taiwan android, the link that is in the first page in 4th point *Return TO stock*) even if i am italian because why it is called *Taiwan android p5110* ??!
thx
thanks for your share

Your suggestion worked and most of the stuff is back to normal. Even Peel is starting up again. Just one other item I hope you have a good suggestion for. My Gallery app is not stating up, I complains about not enough memory. I suspect this is due to some privilege issue. I had created a tmp folder on the internal SD to hold the CM9 zip. I cannot delete the folder. If I access the DCIM folder I can't delete any of the image files. Thus I suspect an issue with the privileges.
I ran the fix permissions option in the Clockwork menu, and also ran some other permission fixer of google play. But they did not fix the privileges with which I had issues. I searched the forum for a similar issue & solution, but was unable to find it.
Do you have a suggestion? Thanks in advance!
Hi i am italian and i have P5110 what i have to download and install to return to stock with polaris office, music read hub and simliar ????
count dooku, it looks like your sdcard is corrupted. Get a USB MicroSD reader (you really should have one anyway) and copy your sdcard to your computer. (now's a good time to delete that folder) Then, reformat the card using Windows. Lastly, copy the files back to your sdcard.
Andrew1998, just flash the p5110 stock package.
Alright, so I've decided on what I want to use rom and kernel wise, and want someone to double check that they are compatible, and I have the right versions.
I would appreciate if someone would check that I have the right steps and files.
KERNEL:
From:
http://minooch.com/franciscofranco/Nexus4/4.3/zips/
Have:
franco.Kernel-nightly-r182.zip (this is JWR, right?)
ROM:
From:
http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/mako
Have:
pa_mako-3.99-20130823.zip
From:
http://download.paranoidandroid.co/Developers/TLKruzze/gapps/
Have:
pa_gapps-full-4.3-20130822-signed.zip
STEPS:
This is coming from a fresh out of box nexus, so stock 4.3.
1. Typical unlock bootloader, root, flash recovery, etc. I'll probably just use this toolkit for this.
2. Recovery
3. Wipe
4. Flash rom
5. Flash GApps
6. Wipe cache
7. Wipe dalvik cache
8. Boot to make sure it works
9. Recovery
10. Flash kernel zip
11. Reboot
Are those steps and files all correct, or am I missing something?
Thanks!
That's what I'm running now. No issues.
Personally I'd do it with adb for when something goes wrong you know how to fix it. When I unlocked and flashed recovery on my phone, everything wiped, even the stock rom was gone. Luckily I learned adb with my galaxy nexus and was able to restore the factory images with fastboot (minus recovery) and start over.
Also don't use the newest twrp. It was wiping my baseband and I reverted to the last version through fastboot to get it working.

Eh, I still prefer toolkits, even if there is a small risk.
The toolkit will be running CWM, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks!

Before installing the ROM you should wipe data,cache,dalvick , system and if you are coming from 4.2.2 based ROM you have do a factory reset before wiping.
Also after flashing the kernel you need to flash Supersu v1.51 zip so that you dont face any root issues.
P.S : Enable the developer option and enable root with app+adb.
Rest you are right and good to go.
Welcome. :good:
As far as wiping goes u can do a few additional steps to make sure there's no issues.
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Go into mounts and storage
4. Format /system
5. Format /data
6. Format /cache
7. Go into advanced wipe /dalvik

Ok, I unlocked and rooted my Nexus 7 2012, and flashed the factory image of Lollipop.
The performance is quite slow and laggy (as noted by several folks), I even tried a few suggestions like wiping Cache, etc.
I now have a fully working Nexus7 on Lollipop but not happy with the performance. So, I'm looking at a few options to improve the performance:
1. Overclock the Tegra 3 to around 1.6 - 1.8 GHz, and also look at other features to improve performance
2. I'm happy to convert the file system to F2FS as I'm reading that speeds up the system.
So, I've got a few questions on the above project:
1. To convert my system to F2FS I'm planning to go with the BSZAospLP v1.0 ROM as that supports F2FS. But I'm new to F2FS so some instructions around hot to get my Nexus converted to F2FS will help.
2. Which kernel should I go for? Faux / Phantom? I need a kernel that'll allow me to overclock and try out, to reach the best balance between Overclock and battery usage.

use twrp recovery to get to f2fs,
1.Go to wipe menu and then advanced wipe.
2.Select the data and go to repair/change file system. Then select F2fs.
3.Similarily do it for System and cache. (Note:- It will erase all your data)
4.Sideload BSZAospLP v1.1 ROM
5.Enjoy F2FS
and as far the kernel goes i prefer mkernel a72 to overclock. Phantom has no overclocking but it is also better for daily usage.
In f2fs there is no need to overclock your device for performance.
What I find helped was bumping up the Min CPU speed rather than over clocking. Think I changed it to 500Mhz or something like that. Nova launcher also helped as it is quite speedy in general.

One question: Step 4: What does Sideload mean? I've always flashed ZIP via TWRP .. Is this something different?

No its the same as flashing via twrp but in sideloading you can flash it from the computer.
For sideloading,
1.Go to advanced menu in twrp and select adb sideload.
2. Connect your device to pc.
3.And type adb sideload filename.zip in cmd.
4.Enjoy sideloading

Hi, another question. I check the MKernel thread and the latest version seems to be a69.
Can you direct me at the version you've mentioned - a72?

Hi,
I'm trying to sideload but keep getting this error...
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
Any help?
Edit: Ok, After a few driver rejig, etc I think I've got it going and the sideload has successfully completed and the phone's not booted the first time.
How long did the first boot take? I remember reading somewhere that the first boot after the F2FS conversion takes ages?
Edit: Still on the 'Google' logo.. don't know if it's doing anything or just hung there..
Looks like I might have identified the issue.. The ROM I'm trying to Sideload is not F2FS compatible ..
I've done some more reading and have found the F2FS compatible version of the same ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56813573&postcount=491
Tonight I'll give this a go.. as I currently have a NEXUS 7 that has the /system, /data and /cache converted to F2FS, so has no ROM on it, so won't boot.
I turned on Develop Options then scrolled to the bottom and checked off "Kill all activities when you leave them" and I really don't have the lag anymore.

Use an app like Backupyourmobile to backup texts, contacts, etc.
Check that backup is located on microSD card.
Then copy the backup on your PC.
Erase your Google Account: Go to Settings > Account > Google and erase it.
3) FLASH TWRP 3.6 RECOVERY
Shut down phone.
Boot in Download Mode : hold Home + Power + Volume- for 3 seconds and release.
Confirm with Volume+.

If it asks for Keep System Read Only ? > Swipe to Allow Modifications.
Go to Backup > you can select the partitions you want to save.
Select all partitions in order to be able to restore phone to it's original state.
Select at least EFS partition to backup your IMEI. If a flash fails and partition is damaged you will still be able to restore this partition and use the phone.
If IMEI is lost during a flash, phone won't be able to reach cellphone networks.
I prefer to backup EFS, Boot and System.
Now type Select Storage > Select Micro SD card and confirm with OK
Now Swipe to Backup and wait during process.
Go to Home screen and continue with next chapter.
Connect phone or microSD to PC.
Open microSD folder and backup TWRP folder to a safe place.

(if you don't see the files, tap on Select Storage and make sure Micro SDCard is active).
then Add more Zips > open_gapps*.zip,
then Swipe to confirm Flash.
Wait for operation to end.
### OPTIONAL FOR ROOT
Go to Reboot > Recovery.
Once phone rebooted, go to Install > Magisk.
Then tap Wipe cache/dalvik, swipe to confirm,
then Reboot System.
Wait for the phone to boot during 10 minutes.
7) ROOT ACCESS
No extra steps for root. Magisk starts with Android.
Open Magisk Manager app to manage root permissions.
8) DON'T USE BUILT-IN CAMERA APP
Using LineageOS default camera app will crash when switching from photos to videos.
Use Simple Camera app included (or Google Camera, Footej camera).
9) EXTRA
You can use GPS Status & Toolbox app for faster GPS fix.
For faster phone, go to Settings > About.
Tap 7 times on Build number.
Go to Settings > System > Avdanced > Developer options.
Set Windows animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animator duration scale to 0.5x.

Update: Thanks to C0rn3j in the TWRP thread I got it to work with heimdall and pulling the battery.
Great guide, worked well for me except rebooting to TWRP recovery failed with the kernel length error. Tried using the previous version of TWRP and then with the stock kernel but both failed with the same error. Does TWRP work with LOS14.1 on kminilte?
Nice guide! I have been using custom roms on my mini for about a year and never knew mutch about that I can change the filesystem.
However sometimes my phone becomes very laggy, and unresponsive.(Maybe memory settings problems) I tried several kernel settings but did not find the best yet.
What is Your opinion? What are the best kernel settings to our model?

Do you think LOS is stable enough to propose it in my tutorial ?
Thank you for the guide! It worked really well. There were a number of details I didn't know, like the performance difference between filesystem formats, and everything was very step-by-step and super helpful.
One issue: TWRP 3.2.1 doesn't work with the 6.0 Spookcity kernel. You have to disable the device check to get it to work. Looks like Panzerknakker uploaded one with that change: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77725358&postcount=285

Are you talking about LOS 15? If so, no IMO. It was stable but buggy. I'm actually downgrading back from 15.1 to 14 due to issues with internal storage and battery consumption, and sometimes it would stop charging and require a hard restart..

v4. Updated pack with TWRP Recovery 3.2.3-0 and Spookcity kernel 6.0-1
Update: I'm having some major issues with lag on my device. 15 seconds to open Chrome, occasional overheating, high CPU usage on small things, etc.
I've had LOS14.1 (a slightly older version) on this device before, minus the different filesystem format and the Spookcity kernel, and not experienced this issue. So I'm thinking about rolling back some of the changes to see which ones were the cause.
Is there an unmodified version of the kernel out there?

Hi,
I didn't experience that but we never know.
To have a fresh system, reboot to TWRP recovery. Wipe cache + system.
Flash LOS, addonsu, OpenGApps.
Wipe cache and reboot.
Thank you for posting this guide. Much appreciated.
Was thinking of getting a Galaxy S i9000 ready for moms but didn't quite understand all the dated guides/roms so decided to buy a 2nd hand s5 mini which now works like a charm!

Hi, you are very welcome for this tuto.
I like when phones don't go to the rubbish !
You are quite right, Galaxy S2 i9100 can be tricky when USB is badly recognized by the PC. And to be honest its performances are low.
Hope you had a merry christmas,
