The P1000 is the first generation android tablet from Samsung in the Galaxy series. Thanks to CyanogenMod, one was able to enjoy Android 6 Marshmallow on it. Samsung had abandoned it but the community didn’t which is why even after nearly a decade after its official release, it is still somehow able to get relatively new operating system.
The Android 6 ROM is working surprisingly well on with almost everything working as well. It is suggested to complete wipe of data, cache and system before installing the firmware.
Here are the installation instructions:
1. Install ROM zip, you will get a warning about partition size change of system if its the first time you flash, just flash it a second time to confirm the change, this will erase your data partition.
2. Install gapps from here. Do not reboot – install gapps first. If you skip this part, you will have to hard reset again for getting gapps running. You cannot install them later.
3. Reboot
What is working?
RIL
Wifi
BT
Sensors
GPS
Camera (use third party such as open camera
Internal SD
Audio + vibrate
buttons
USB storage
External Storage
SELINUX
That is it. You are now running Android 6 Marshmallow on your Galaxy Tab P1000.

Samsung had the guts to release its powerful tablet, Galaxy Tab S3 with mediocre storage but what the fans even more furious was their decision to remove adoptable storage function from android. This means, you were not allowed to move applications and games stored on the internal storage of your Galaxy Tab S3 to micro SD card. Fortunately, an XDA developer user found a way to do.
For this, you will need to have Galaxy Tab S3 TWRP custom recovery installed on your device. Then, install adoptable_storage_enabler_ashyx and then this, no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx. After this, reboot your tablet and look for a popup in notification bar that says "new SD card detected".
After that, click on “Set up” > “use as internal storage” > next > erase and format > Next and you’re done.
Optional – Move/Migrate existing data via "Settings —> Device maintenance —> Storage —> Storage Settings (three dots) —> SD card —> Migrate Data (three dots)".
After this, any application or game that you install will be installed automatically on the micro SD card.
Thanks to the developer behind LineageOS, Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 users are able to get Android 8.1 Oreo on their tablets. This is a third party ROM, so you will need to have TWRP custom recovery installed in order to install custom ROM, like this one.
Here is how to install it on your Tab S3:
1. Install twrp for Tab S3.
2. Download the zip(s) – firmware and Google Apps additional package (http://opengapps.org/, Platform: ARM64, Android: 8.1, Variant: any, usually I’m using micro or nano)
3. Backup all partitions (it least efs) and store somewhere – it need to do – because you can loose imei
4. Full wipe all
5. Flash firmware and gapps
Keep in mind that microphone is not working during calls but who uses their tablet for making calls? Other than that, everything is working like a charm.
Again, this is a custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 and after installing it, your warranty will be voided. Unfortunately, this is the only way to get latest Android on your tablet as Samsung appears to be reluctant in pushing any more updates to this tablet.
Root guide for the new Samsung Galaxy tab Active 8.0 is now available. Before you do the root, you will need TWRP for the Tab Active 8.0. Fortunately, we have the latest version of TWRP custom recovery available for the android tablet. Using this custom recovery, you will be able to flash all sorts of third party ROMs onto it. It would also be possible to flash hacks that require a modified TWRP.
Download the TWRP file on your computer from here. Then use the fastboot to flash the TWRP using the following command.
fastboot flash recovery TWRP-3.1.1-recovery.img
After installing the TWRP, it is now time to install root onto the Galaxy Tab Active 8.0. For that, install the ODIN file via file recovery in download mode using volume down + power + home button combo and then connect it to the computer.
And that is it – you have successfully downloaded and installed TWRP on the Tab Active android tablet. It is totally upto you if you want to root it or not. Some third party firmwares come pre-rooted so if you are planning to install a custom ROM, it may not be worth rooting your Samsung android tablet.
Lineage OS is based on android’s CM13 port that brings latest version of android to the users. It is meant for P6800, P6810 and i815 versions of Galaxy Tab 7.7 android tablet. Everything is working in this cyanogen mod 13 ROM except for Bluetooth (crashed when trying to activate in settings), DRM playback (google play movies), Amazon kindle app (old v4.24.0.27 works though) and mounting of SD card. So if you can do without those, it is same to install this ROM on your android tablet.
Here are the installation instructions for installing lineage OS on Samsung galaxy tab 7.7.
* Download the ROM and optionally GApps (ARM-6.0-pico) onto your device
* Reboot tablet into Tab 7.7 TWRP recovery. I use version 3.0.2-0 here.

Permissive kernel is now available for download for the Galaxy Tab S3 tablet. There is nothing really special about this permissive kernel except for its permissive mode, of course.

If you have data encryption turned on, you will have to remove it. You can do that by going into Galaxy Tab S3 TWRP and using “format data” button.

Android operating system dominates the smartphone and tablet space. Infact, more than 85 percent of all smartphones run android. Same can be said about the tablets which are dominated by Samsung Galaxy Tabs which run android as well. Recently, there has been an increase of malware which can send your private photos and information back to the hacker. For this, the user needs to install an antivirus application that can protect your android tablet or phone from harmful apps and games.
Pixel UI was first launched with the Google Pixel series of phones. That has been ported to the old Samsung tablet, the Tab 2. It requires you to root Galaxy Tab 2 and have custom ROM installed. The developer who has ported the Pixel UI to the Galaxy Tab 2 says that you will need any Tab 2 ROM running Android 5 or higher. You will also need to have Xposed framework installed.
Also, you will need Galaxy Tab 2 custom recovery like TWRP or CWM installed as well. That is quite obvious since we would be tinkering with the system files. Before you proceed, make sure to create a backup of all the files. Here are the installation instructions for installing Pixel UI onto the Samsung galaxy tab 2 android tablet.
1. Install Android N-ify Xposed module from here.
2. Activate the module
3. Reboot your device
4. Install and apply Pixel theme using CM Theme Engine
5. (optional) Install XPOSED Pixel Navigation Bar
That is it – you have downloaded and installed Pixel user interface. This feel so much more stock than the slower Samsung’s touchwiz user interface that bogs down the entire system in a big way.
You will now be able to do all sorts of mods and root Tab S3 as TWRP custom recovery is available for download for this Samsung android tablet. Available for both SM-T820 and T825 models, this TWRP custom recovery is v3.1.0.0 which is the latest version available right now.
While Tab S3 TWRP recovery is still in beta state, everything is working as expected. Only the F2FS support is missing and the developers behind TWRP are working hard to add it in upcoming release but other than that, everything is working.
List of what is working – MTP working; ADB working; SEANDROID warning fix; TWRP and Kernel built from latest source; NTFS support and TWRP app support.
Before you start, go to settings > developer options > OEM unlocking. If you do not see developer options, go to about and press build number few times. To flash TWRP for Tab S3, download the flashable TWRP file from here. Download ODIN as well. Fire it p and put the TWRP file in AP. Then put the S3 in download mode by pressing vol down and power button together for few seconds.
Connect your android tablet to the computer and click on the Start button to commence the flashing process. It will take only a few seconds for the flashing to complete. Reboot and do whatever you want to do with it.
