The King Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I got a Samsung tab 10.1 I use Mac How do I go about flashing the device with a custom ROM? I have no idea about Android. Can someone please point me in the direction at least? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dub Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 'xda developers' will be the place you'd definitely find custom roms, though you might find more user friendly guides elsewhere http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1050 with my previous android phones the whole process (other than the download) took place on the phone so I don't think the fact that you have a Mac matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtis Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 oh yeah what am i talking about i just flashed my s3 this morning directly on the phone root the phone get clockworkmod put the rom on the device boot into recovery mode (hold volume up, power and home until cwm comes up) wipe the device (you may not need to if your coming from stock, when i flashed my note 10.1 i just flashed without wiping and kept all my data, but that was tethered) navigate within cwm and install from zip or whatever reboot within cwd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a few occasions it has thrown up a processor error which was rectified by doing a factory reset. Remember Samsung put a rom flash counter for anyone whos thinking of preserving their warranty (which tells them how many times you've installed a custom rom) however this can be easily reset by getting triangle away.

dub Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Wouldnt that XP rom kill your battery? and could you remotely link it to your laptop? think that already exists, without the need of a custom rom - though I doubt you could integrate the two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brem Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Have you guys seen the Kobo Arc. Seems pretty good. Screen is apparently full HD, normal android operating system and light as f*ck. Might be better than the Kindle fire given the standard android platform on it. Also apparently it is a bit of a beast as well in terms of power and specs.
