Hello all! I am a newbie to all this so I thought I would post a few questions before I try and attempt this update/rom install?
Looks like gr8nole has a good ROM that works on the T310?
I really do not use the tab much as I have a iPad mini (g2) and a ipod tough (5g) and a windows phone so I do not mind experimenting with the Samsung.
Anything I with really miss if I install this ROM?
I am sure others are already running it.... do you like it? Any feature(s) you miss from stock Samsung load?
Looks like I just follow the instructions and back sure I have a good back up first? Anything else I need to know?
Thanks for any help / input on this new adventure,
SDK. (SirDigitalKnight)

Hi guys.
I´m very new to this site, never rooted a phone, or nothing of the sorts.
However.
I´ve got an Xperia S, and I´d like to investigate the opportunity to have it cleaned and refitted with a naked android install. Kinda like the Google Nexus phones. Is that possible? Or do one have to use one of the custom roms? I want this, to get rid of the space the sony-gui and programs uses on my phone, as ram is getting short, and I just like the "naked" feeling it would give.
Any info would be awesome.
Thanks guys

You mean the Vanilla skin. As far as I know, You will have to install a custom ROM for it.

The Vanilla skin, ok. Pardon my ignorance, but where can I get this, and how do I install it? And a custom rom, is that something on top of the existing sony-gui?
Is it possible to wipe the phone clean, and install stock android on it?
Go through XDA, You will find everything here, regarding what is custom ROM, how to install it and necessary precautions. And do read and re-read again, as You are new to this.
Also, if You look, You can find the everything in forum. The ROM's are available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-s/s-development
Check for the AOSP one's, those have Vanilla skin.
Custom ROM usually replace the software entirely, and it is not on top of 'sony-gui.'
Hello,
I have a Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 (SM-T520) & I saw that there were no custom roms for it currently. So, I thought it would be fun to see if I could make my own custom rom for it. I was wondering where to start, if someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome! Also, i'm looking to try to get a clean kitkat rom (like cyanogenmod) or edit my stock rom and remove some apps and change settings.
Lastly, I was reading that there is a problem developing for exynos 5 or something like that. Can someone explain on that to me.
I really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Anyone???
I'm wondering the same thing,
How do you extract/decrypt the official firmware?
Followed some of the tutorials on the forum but didn't work for our sm-t520...
Here ya go.. There are some really nice guides in this forum..http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development
LoL how did I miss that one xD, thanks for pointing it out
Lets try that one...
I could really be without touchwiz.... Aosp or something, but I will probably just sell it and buy a new nexus 10 / 8, when they are available. The resolution was nice on this though.
Sent from my SM-T520 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Alright so i'm trying to make a stock unbloated rom for the sm-t520. However, I can't figure out how to get a custom recovery for this device. Anyone have any advice?
Thanks!
Edit:
Looks like I answered my own question =) Found it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722900
Hopefully, now i'll be able to compile a debloated stock rom!
I'm pretty new to all of this and still a bit tentative. I have searched quite a bit and learned a lot but I still generally feel overwhelmed when I try to read threads specific to certain ROMS.
I recently got a Tab 3.7 (SM-T210R) and have managed to root it and install PhilzTouch.
I also installed RocketTab Lite which was good but I realise what I want is all the Samsung stuff gone, so it feels more like a simple android device.
So, I'm trying to figure out what ROM would suit me best.
Also, it is only 8GB and even with almost no apps (or media) it seems to be almost a third full. So far I haven't got Link2SD to work. Will another ROM allow me to move apps to the SD like I could in my phone?
Thanks for any advice anyone can give.

Thanks. Can you flash a Kit Kat ROM on a tab that has jellybean, or do you have to upgrade first?
Also, that says it is for a Tab 3.10, would it work with the Tab 3.7?

CAGrom is made only for the Tab 3 10. You can find roms for the 7 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-7
I don't know anything about the roms for that device. though, XDA generally prohibits suggestions as it is all about experiencing and experimenting finding the right fit that you want. I suggest looking at the roms at the link above and see if any might interest you there. good luck.
Hello all,
Not new at all to rooting and roms, the problem I'm having is trying to figure out what I might need to do in order to get my phone up and running the way I want. I'm currently rooted running Android version 4.4.4. I'm still on the stock TouchWiz. I was wondering if there are any roms out there for this android version. All I can really seem to find on the site are 5.0 and above. I really don't want to upgrade if I don't have to, but I really want something highly customizable if it exists. There have always been plenty of great roms out there for Samsung devices...was hoping maybe someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks to all in advance!
Look in the development section. You'll have to drill down but there are Kitkat roms there.
Your missing out on some great stuff staying on Kitkat.

Its the best rom going for this phone. N5 port that actually works. It's great.
Hey guys, I am a complete noob when it comes to this. Last time I installed any recovery or flashed a ROM was on my Nexus 4, years ago. I have found my Samsung Galaxy Pro (10.1") SM-P900 lying around and this thing is still on Android Version 5.0.2.
I'd like to install a recovery, root, and flash a ROM, or an upgraded software version. I'm sorry if that doesnt make sense but I just want this device to start running faster and I'd like to slowly get back to flashing ROMs on it depending on my liking.
Could you guys kindly link me to other threads that deal with my exact problem? Or please let me know here what I can or at least where I can start? Any thread I look for already has people on advanced steps or they're using a different device. ANY help is appreciated. Thank you so much.
Well, you should start here. Lots of reading though!
