TWRP 3.0 for Galaxy Tab 7.7

Now that Galaxy Tab 7.7 is out of warranty, it makes sense to install TWRP on it to gain access to install custom firmwares and ROMs on it so that you are able to get onto latest version of android. To install it, you will need mobile ODIN or ODIN on computer and we recommend going for the latter as it is more safe.

TWRP 3.0 for Galaxy Tab 7.7

After having TWRP, you will also be able to enjoy all sorts of hacks including multi window mod that lets you enjoy Galaxy Note tablet like functionality on your tablet.

So there you go – you now have latest version of TWRP which is v3 on your Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 tablet. This will definitely add an extra layer of functionality on your tablet.

We love multi window functionality that is present in the Samsung Galaxy Note series but for some weird reason, Samsung decided to make it exclusive for the Note devices and never brought it to the Galaxy Tab 7.7. Thanks to XDA, you will be able to enjoy it on your device and more.

Install Instructions
1. Install rom using Galaxy Tab 7.7 CWM or TWRP.

4. Delete flashbarservice.apk located in system/app (only necessary if coming from V2).

Now, you can edit photos yourself with Movavi Photo Editor app that is available for both Windows operating system as well as for Macintosh.
