Earlier, I have been compiling several ROMs for the galaxy tab (P7510/p4wifi) based on KitKat 4.4. I now decided to move over to OMNI ROM as base: http://omnirom.org/
The nice thing of OMNI in my personal opinion is smoothness: it is relatively low in features, but at the same time it is not that resource hungry as some other ROMs. The end result is a smooth ROM.
Changelog of 15-Feb-2014
-Omni codebase of 14-Jan
Several small fixes, nothing spectecular
It features the Infamous kernel (same kernel as for JB4.3, without SELinux). The zram code has been optimized (based on google advice for low-RAM devices) and is enabled by default.
To see the additions on top of Omni, check github (additional patches are always shown on top):
Frameworks
Settings
OmniGears
First installation:
-Boot into recovery
-Factory reset
-Wipe system partition
-Install ROM
-Boot tablet (there sometimes are bootloops if gapps is flashed directly on top of the ROM without first booting the ROM)
-Reboot recovery
-Install SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/371/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.85.zip
-Install gapps (you should use a package specifically for KK4.4 and with the old-fashioned updater-script! - don't worry if you install an outdated gapps packages with the correct updater-script, as long as it is for KK4.4 the apps in the gapps package will be automatically updated -> only small gapps packages fit, e.g. banks core of pa 0-day gapps mini)
-Boot it up
-> some people report issues (e.g. bootloop or crashing gapps) if they flash ROM, gapps & supersu in a row after fully wiping the tablet. In that case, wipe again, flash ROM, boot the tab, reboot to recovery, and then flash the rest.
-> if coming from stock ROM, a factory reset may wipe you entire /data partition, so you loose you sdcard contents as well (I think this only happens with CWM, but I'm not sure)
-> in CWM "wipe system partition" can be found under mounts, and is called "format /system"
->If you get the message 'This package is for "p4" devices this is a "GT-P7500"' (or something likewise) update to a recent CWM or TWRP
Update installation (OMNI -> OMNI):
-Boot into recovery
-Install ROM
-Install SuperSU (in the SuperUser app you can create a script that will automatically backup/restore SuperSU on ROM updates so you don't have to reflash SuperSU).
-Boot it up
You can download any gapps packages for kitkat that you like, but one that many have used successfullyis PA 0 day gapps:

What does NOT work?
-There are graphical glitches. Although they mainly have been solved there seem to be some remaining issues with hwcomposer that may crash the tab.
-Bluetooth audio does not work (other Bluetooth functions do work).
-HDMI output (may be fixed according to some posts, didn't test myself yet)
-HD movies (in e.g. youtube) may stutter
Smoothness advice:
Go to performance settings:
-Overclock CPU to 1400MHz (Do this at your own risk!)
-Set IO scheduler to CFQ
-Keep governor on Interactive
Go to developer settings:
-Set the three animation scale options to 0.5x
-Activate "Force GPU rendering"
-Active "Disble HW-overlays"
-Set background process limit to 4 processes
(if performance/developer options are not yet shown, go to settings>about and press build number 7 times)
-> Thanks to all forum members contributing to this list
-> Do it at your own risk!
-> Don't complain about limited battery life (ROW+interactive+1000MHz leads to better battery life for sure)
Some other tips:
-For improvement of sound quality, you can use Viper4Android
-For more volume only, SpeakerBoost is earier to use
-For netflix, head over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49208063&postcount=445
-To be able to use Flash player, use a browser that doesn't use the kitkat browser engine (e.g. firefox can be used). Download flash player from adobe website (thanks to AAccount for finding out!).
- If you can't see your internal SD on PC: Go to Settings -> Storage -> 3 dot menu -> tick MTP.
-To use the multi-window feature, go to the recent apps screen, press&hold an app, and select put aside.

You need to separately flash SuperSU. SuperSU can create a script for backing it up, so that on future ROM flashes you don't have to repeat this.

Bad to see that it is really not for the GT-P7500 . So i will not update.... i really need my 3G
Why it is so difficult to get 3G working Did 4.4 change so much?

The problem is that in 4.4 the radio stuff has been redone. I also had problem with another device I develop for (SGS) to get the radio to work. And to develop a ROM for a device I don't own make it even more complicated. In the past weeks I sometimes flashed 10-15 testbuilds on a single day to try and fix something simple (like USB OTG). If someone else would test something for me, the progress would be way too slow.
But all my code is open source: someone with a p7500 can just grab all the code, adapt it to p7500 and compile it. And start the whole process of fixing bugs

I will no longer be maintaining this port, as I have upgraded to a galaxy s3! If anyone wants to take over and or needs instructions for porting this ROM themselves, just send me a message!
Credits go to DerTeufel1980, be18, and all of the other International Galaxy S devs for Jelly Bean!
This is just a slightly modified version of the build for the International SGS (original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775169)
Steps for flashing
For V9:
1a) If coming from another rom: wipe data/factory reset/format system/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache
1b) If coming from previous version: delete folder /data/sys-parts before flashing (you should be fine without wipe, but delteing this folder is important), wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache
2) Flash ROM
3) Flash kernel
4) Flash addon (don't flash gapps from an other rom!)
5) Fix permissions
6) Reboot
Downloads
ROM (V8): http://www.mediafire.com/?zxmw7fulb516lcs
Kernel (Use this kernel for V9): http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/divers/104/jellybean/Devil3_1.0.4_jb_vibrant_CFS_BLN_VC_20120727.zip

What Works
- Calls/SMS
- Data
- Wifi
- Camera
- Bluetooth (not tested yet)
- GPS
- Google Now
- Google sound recognition (for indentifying music)
- Everything else that isn't listed below...
What Doesn't Work
- Mounting of external sd card to computer (??)
- Others??
Trouble Shooting:
FOR STATUS 7 ERROR
1. Download the Icy Glitch V14 kernel >http://androtransfer.com/latest/vibrant
2. Put the file in your internet SD and Flash the kernel
DO NOT REBOOT
3. In CWM go to ADVANCED -> REBOOT RECOVERY
4. Follow the normal steps in the new CWM console
~ Thanks Waldos!
- If you experience considerable lag after updating from a previous version, flash the rom again and make sure to wipe data and perform a factory reset in the process.
Change log:
V2
- rom slimmed down and gapps/su fix included (thx to bhu1)
- replaced ear.apk with one supposed to work (user report)
- replaced hw composer with the one from nexus s (this is the jb one, old release was using ics hw composer)
- fixed recording of 720p (upstream fix to media_profiles.xml
V2.1
- Added missing Google Sound Search library (Google Ears)
- Added Gmail back into system applications (for some reason it was left out of V2), and gmail notifications should work now!
- Changed build.prop to reflect that the device is a Samsung Vibrant
- Added stock Jelly Bean boot animation
V3
N/A
V4
- built from latest sources as of today (07/19/2012, 4 pm)
- /datadata partition now working
- google tts working now (pico tts already working before?)
- extended power menu
- more menus in settings (some of them still are not finished and lead to a force close of the settings)
- all kernel settings stick after reboot
- using "data-symlink-script" from RolluS to get everything into the rom many thanks for this.
V5
- based on the last release by pawitp (compiled rom is not booting atm, i hope this gets fixed soon)
- fixed notification sounds
V6
- compiled from sources of 23/07/2012, 2 pm
- new boot animation
- removed apex launcher
- fixed installing bug: no need for delting data/sys-parts anymore
V8
- compiled from sources of 25/07/2012
- moved some files from sys-parts back to system and the other way around (trying to optimize the use of /system space)
V9
kernel (1.0.4):
- hack mfc driver, to give all available mem to an application, if the requested mem is more than the max. available (maybe useful later, does not change anything right now (afaik))
- fix execution of boot-patch.sh, disabled twice execution of init.d, enabled tv-out server for all devices (i9000 already had this)
- battery: fix charging display for car dock
- increase read-ahead on moviNAND
Note: The back button is broken on the notification pull down!

I have made this thread as a common thread for all the builds out there, currently, two. One is the russian build and other is the miuiandroid build.
You can discuss here the bugs and ask questions about the bugs you have been facing. Hoping this thread would be a productive one and help the MIUI builds get more stable.
I'm in process of adding the links and making a FAQ for the MIUI v5 ROMs.
Those, who are having sim card PIN issues:
1. Be on any non-miui android rom(if you are on miui - reinstall rom to any cm/stock etc).
2. Go into the settings app > security & privacy > setup SIM card lock > disable "lock sim card"(atleast that's how the path looks on miui).
3. Install miui rom (follow specific roms guide).
For those having GPS issues:
1. Install "russian v3" miui rom (should be > here, has got gapps/franco kernel preinstalled) <, since this is the first and the only one (so far) rom that makes the gps sensor work on my nexus (might be not required on newer roms)).
2. Go into "google settings" app(not the default android app, instead the one which looks like this: this or this ) > Location > disable and reenable the "Access Location".
Gps should work after this.
For those, who are missing e-mail application:
Download it from > here.
Missing ROOT permissions?
1. Go into "System and Security" folder on desktop > Permissions.
2. Select "Root" > Enable "Enable Permission manager".

Thanks for putting this together! I was starting to get lost trying to keep up with 2 ROM builds along with all of the patches. I had a hell of a time yesterday when I flashed the version in the OP. Stupid me forgot to disable PIE in PA so when I flashed MIUI I didn't have any navigation buttons at the bottom, doh! I spent quite a while just trying to flash PA back so I could fix that. So, currently I'm back to PA and taking notes so I can flash the Russian version successfully today, fingers crossed.

Detailed Instructions of flashing are here: Install MIUI V5 ROM on the Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus
I've come up with a hypothesis.
The Russian version of MIUI uses Franco's kernel, which contains a modified ram-disk. I've been trying to flash the latest Franco Kernel on top of that, which causes it to stick at the boot logo.
The only people that I've seen successfully flash another kernel on top of the Russian Version are using either Harsh's or Faux's Kernels, both of which (I believe) don't touch the ramdisk. I'm going to try to flash both Faux's and Harsh's kernels, as well as others that don't modify the ramdisk.
If this works, then it means that the tweaks that the kernel needs to boot (or at least some of them), reside in the ramdisk.

Here's how I flashed. First, in TWRP, I did advanced wipe (system, dalvik, cache, data), and then a factory reset. Then I flashed build 3 (three) of the russian MIUI, and without rebooting, flashed the kernel I wanted to test. I then wiped cache and dalvik one more time, and rebooted.

does anybody have a link with the original topic of the russian rom please?
Carbonized from my pretty cool Nexus 4
Best Antutu : 24258 / Best Quadrant : 8643
Earlier, I have been compiling several ROMs for the galaxy tab (P7510/p4wifi) based on KitKat 4.4. After my experience with Omni was not that bad, I decided to move over to Nameless ROM, where I have become a core member of the team: http://nameless-rom.org/.
Changelog of 23-Mar-2014
-Many upstream updates from nameless & CM
-Updates to CustomLauncher (I have had no more FC's)
It features the Mackay kernel (it is a kernel named ICS_2014, because I worked on this kernel for stock ICS and CM9 as well). The zram code has been optimized (based on google advice for low-RAM devices) and is enabled by default. I also improved the OC code and changed voltages.
First installation:
-Boot into recovery
-Factory reset
-Wipe system partition
-Install ROM
-Reboot system (there sometimes are bootloops if gapps is flashed directly on top of the ROM without first booting the ROM)
-Reboot recovery
-Install gapps (you should use a package specifically for KK4.4 and with the old-fashioned updater-script! - don't worry if you install an outdated gapps packages with the correct updater-script, as long as it is for KK4.4 the apps in the gapps package will be automatically updated -> only small gapps packages fit, e.g. banks core of pa 0-day gapps mini)
-Reboot system
-> some people report issues (e.g. bootloop or crashing gapps) if they flash ROM & gapps in a row after fully wiping the tablet. In that case, wipe again, flash ROM, boot the tab, reboot to recovery, and then gapps.
-> if coming from stock ROM, a factory reset may wipe you entire /data partition, so you loose you sdcard contents as well (I think this only happens with CWM, but I'm not sure)
-> in CWM "wipe system partition" can be found under mounts, and is called "format /system"
->If you get the message 'This package is for "p4" devices this is a "GT-P7500"' (or something likewise) update to a recent CWM or TWRP
Update installation (Nameless -> Nameless):
-Boot into recovery
-Install ROM
-Reboot system
You can download any gapps packages for kitkat that you like, but one that many have used successfullyis PA 0 day gapps:

What does NOT work?
-There are graphical glitches. Although they mainly have been solved there seem to be some remaining issues with hwcomposer that may crash the tab.
-HD movies (in e.g. youtube) may stutter
Smoothness advice:
Go to performance settings:
-Overclock CPU (Do this at your own risk!)
-Keep governor on Interactive
Go to developer settings:
-Activate "Force GPU rendering"
-Active "Disble HW-overlays"
-Set background process limit to 4 processes
(if performance/developer options are not yet shown, go to settings>about and press build number 7 times)
-> Thanks to all forum members contributing to this list
-> Do it at your own risk!
-> Don't complain about limited battery life (ROW+interactive+1000MHz leads to better battery life for sure)
Some other tips:
-For improvement of sound quality, you can use Viper4Android
-For more volume only, SpeakerBoost is earier to use
-For netflix, head over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49208063&postcount=445
-To be able to use Flash player, use a browser that doesn't use the kitkat browser engine (e.g. firefox can be used). Download flash player from adobe website (thanks to AAccount for finding out!).
- If you can't see your internal SD on PC: Go to Settings -> Storage -> 3 dot menu -> tick MTP.
Great stuff...downloading now. Thanks a million and bless you. :thumbup::beer::thumbup:

Great job kasper_h! I'll flash your rom asap!
EDIT: @kasper_h how can I offer you an italian coffe? Can you add a "donate link" in the OP?
Auzz adda v'daje!
When I press more under personalization it force closes...uninstalled messaging since it gives an error at bootup. So far everything is smooth.
Edit: Animation control force closes as well.

Do a titanium backup and restore the apps with data after full wipe and installation of this rom...
I fully wiped coming to nameless. Good moment to clean out my mess anyway
P4 link points to P4wifi ROM, just for the records...
kasper_h is my idol.
Thanks!
That is just awesome First thing I tried on the p4 of my girlfriend was bluetooth audio via speaker - and guess - yes, it works!
Haven`t tried anything more yet... Will do now! Now my girlfriend will be more happy, and everyone knows what this means

just installed it and everything seems to be fine. Installed with twrp 2.3.6.0 wiped everything but sdcards. installed rom first did first boot, rebooted flashed pa-gapps 3-16 build you posted. works good so far and no issues that im aware of but havent tried everything yet. thanks for the nifty dark themed rom. keep up the awesome work jfbs and ill do a deep test later and report back tomorrow.
Grateful!
Again @jfbs thanks again for the hard work you bring to this device. You bring a joy to people's faces. :good:
The real credit belongs to davidteri91 and Madridii for putting this together. I just compiled it for this device. Enjoy.
wow! i'm impressed with this rom. was a bit fishy at first, but when it got settled in its almost magical..! great job!!
The hard work you must have put into this ROM really shows. It is almost magical, as corny as that might sound.
I'm having the same external SD storage problem as I had using latest Ancora CM11 build. For example, I cannot make a Titanium Backup for any application. Det0xx informed me this is related to AOSP upstream. (I suppose one can work around this problem by using internal storage.)
I wonder, does everybody else have this same problem using external storage? I wonder if I need to do something additional, like reformat my card, flash a different kernel, or change from using TWRP 2.7 to something else.
Another comment regarding TWRP: I was going to do a clean install of this DarkCM ROM, but when I did the wipe in TWRP 2.7, I got a "failed" message for /data.
Any comment is appreciated. And all the ROM creation work is much appreciated, too.

Great to see this rom here

Titanium Backup is also a bust for me, nothing good on it works besides being able to open up, but that's no biggie I keep backups on my laptop then just transfer them over when I flash new roms.
Netflix
Has anyone tried Netflix on this ROM? I haven't flashed it yet, but I have had issues (not smooth and sometimes stalling) on the two CM11 ROMs with Netflix. Not a deal breaker, but I thought I would ask.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, the Netflix app hasn't been working well on the 2 Kitkat Roms that I have tried on this phone. The playback of videos stutters and will sometimes stop completely. It has worked well on JB ROMs.

@danny8 I use 2.7 to install this rom without any issues wiping cache/dalvik/system/data. I switched twrp back to using the model number, so if it happens again, will you post a log? Not sure about tibu, haven't used it for some time, but my cm11 builds from 1/31 to 3/22 were compiled with linaro. This rom and 3/26 were compiled with gcc to get ART working again which may be the culprit preventing your tibu.
edit: also, I'm able to read and modify external sd with es file explorer and haven't formatted external since Dec.
@wrusry I tried netflix today with this rom and see that playback it unstable. Switched to 3/26 and watched a movie for ~30 min. without any defects. I'll try looking into this for next build.
I hope you continue to develop this ROM as time permits.
I'm currently using your CM11 0402 build, and it is excellent. But the DarkCM app appearances are awesome.

This is the first kit kat rom I'm going to try when I start putting roms on my exhibit this weekend. I'm psyched to see how it looks.

I installed the latest build of DarkCM (20140411) and Netflix now appears to be running well after setting the Maximum CPU frequency to 1305 Mhz. :good:
Thank you jfbs for providing this ROM. It has been my daily driver for a couple of weeks now. :highfive:
Damn this rom is great.
This was my mom's old phone, and since she had no use for it, I took it figuring I could find some neat stuff to do with it. I had no idea it could work so well! Thanks a lot for this.
I'm looking to turn this phone into a sort of big smartwatch/wriststrap/accessory thing. Do you guys have any ideas on where to go/start to do that? What type of apps should I download? I have google music and runkeeper and I've already used it to track my jog so I could leave my Note 2 home. Just looking for ideas. Thanks!

*Full wipe recommended if coming from another rom or Omni 5.0.2*
My personal Omni Rom 5.1 is based on omnirom with the following additions from CM11/12:
CM12 File Manager
CM11 Calculator (uglier but much more functional)
Bash shell
Nano text editor
CM12 discontinued Koush derived superuser
CM11 Forward ported custom host name
CM12 volume long press music track control
CM12 ad hoc wifi detection
CM12 camera power button shutter control
CM12 openssh command line utilities
CM12 custom quick settings
CM12 trebuchet launcher
The list of personal touches isn't very long right now but they include
Battery icon changes color based on percent: 0-15 red, 16-50 yellow, 51-100 green
Jelly bean style toasts
Android 4.x nav bar icons
Disabled SELinux at the kernel
Up to 1.6GHz CPU OC
Automatic 400MHz GPU OC
Not Working/Quirky
Bluetooth audio?? (can't test myself)
Stock camera randomly freezes. Just open it again
AOSP keyboard swipe doesn't work: google's fault.
Can't hear phone calls.
Flashing SuperSU might cause issues since the su daemon is started by the ram disk script since boot scripts apparently don't work.
Plugging in a charger when turned off causes the tablet to get stuck at animation loading
Everything else not listed as a quirk probably works.
*First Time or Coming from Omni 5.0.2*
-Read second post FAQ and other important information

-Install gapps
-Reboot into rom
-Reapply any adblocking hosts file.

Just one thing... am I blind or you just forgot the download link for the ROM?
They're under the Downloads section.
this ROM seems nice and fast! Breathes new life to the grab. Can anybody point me to a different gapps pack? (Not so slim) I have tried out downloading several but was not able to flash any of the the .zips in twrp.

Major problems
Hi!
I'm new with flashing Samsung devices but i have flashed other and i thought this can not be so hard..
But now i need your help!
I wipe the whole thing nothing left, i can get in to recovery and i can load zip-files to the tab, but it says i have a P4wifi and I don't. What have I done wrong and is there anything I can do to fix this and flash Omni 5.1 for 3G tab?
I downloaded the omni-5.1-20150330-p4-HOMEMADE so I must have done something before this, maybe when i rooted the tab?
If u don't understand my english writing feel free to ask so maybe I can explain myself.

Found a old recovery file from 2012, flashed that with Odin, manage to install the rom, but not the gapps.
"Android is processing" so something is happening. I will just wait and see.
Maybe I did?
There are so many files circulation out there so I´m getting confused.
Maybe you can point me in the right direction?
I downloaded the wifi rom, but no luck with that.

Hi thanks for your help!
I did an edit in my earlier post, and now i manage to install the 3G rom.
So I got my Tab up and running.
But I appreciate your help very much because I got two tabs, i bought them yesterday for 500SEK (57 US$) from a friend at work.
And now I don't want to make the same mistake again.
