Want suggestions for Custom ROM for Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 (wifi)

[AsSudan]

Hi, Newbie here.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 model GT-P5113 wifi only tablet. Runs original out of box Samsung OEM ICS 4.0.4, rooted, with CWM Recovery v6.0.1.2.

I'd like to install a custom Jelly Bean ROM. I'd like one where everything works: GPS, camera, google apps, wifi, bluetooth, etc. I really don't know where to start or what to look for or even what to ask for when it comes to picking out a custom ROM. Suggestions and links are very appreciated!

Also, can I somehow somewhere get just plain AOSP Jelly Bean 4.1 ROM and install it?

Thanks.

Hi, could you please expand on what you mean? I'm at a loss to understand you. Thanks.

Not sure its possible yet on the tablet side and perhaps why Android is lagging in that dept. They take too long to offer anything in terms of OS updates within a reasonable time frame. I mean I just looked at the specs of the GT2 10.1 and that are a bit underwhelming compared to what is happening elsewhere right now. There may not be any decent ROM's out there with working drivers since there are no leaked GT2 10.1 ROM's on 4.1 to work from. At least that is what I think the other member is saying.

It is so damned frustrating that we can't get any answers on official updates and they are so slow in coming! Aaaaarrrggh!

Anyone tried flashing JellyBean? Happy?

Last night I decided to flash JellyBean. So far the only thing I see wrong/not working is no audio from movies or youtube while using headphones, speaker audio is fine. I will be able to spend more time with it during the weekend.

Nice one fester, keep up the good work, am due to receive my tab 2 GT P-5113 soon and as I've just received jellybean update on my htc one x last week, would really love to have on my tab too. Would really appreciate if you kept me informed as you sound as if you know what you're doing.

I had to revert back to ICS 4.0.4. The nearly constant notifications of email and android user services was too annoying, JellyBean was very nice otherwise, I even got the headphone audio working again after doing a factory reset a second time after the JB flash.
I intend to flash a newer release of JB, just haven't had time lately.

I haven't tried the 64GB myself, only 32gb. I have read in other forums that 64 gb works in the GT-P5113.
Still haven't flashed the newest Jellybean yet, the holidays have taken all my free time. Hopefully soon.

Thanks for the Holiday wishes,
Same to you, ecorristine.

Try this website out, it shows/tells you how to root you GT-P5113.
Let me know how you make out if you decide to try it out.

I used the link above to install JB on my P5110 and so far everything is working good.

Glad to hear it's working for you, someday when I have some time to myself I will flash it.

Anyone try the CyanogenMod 10.1 with Android 4.2.2 for the GT-P5113? I have been wanting to try but before I do I would like to know how its running for others.

Cm 10.1 is great but doesnt give you access to ir blast (remote control feature) otherwise great rom.

Are they ever going to fix that? Be great if they would one of the reasons I haven't root my tablet. More so now that gt2 now has 4.2.2.

I run cm 10.1 on my p5100 and it works like a charm. I had a substantial jump in performance compared to the much bloated TouchWiz ROM. I'm recommending it to everyone who has a Galaxy Tab 2.

May be great and dandy but with out the RI blaster working for P113 I wouldn't go with them. If they can't get all the parts in a tablet working then it's a no go for me and I'm sure quite a bit of people who have that model like me enjoy using there tablet as a remote. There for I can't recommend them if they can't figure out how to get it working. Ya sure for other tablets that don't have a RI blaster would benefit but not all
