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 - don't worry if you install an outdated gapps packages with the correct updater-script, as long as it is for KK4.4 the apps in the gapps package will be automatically updated -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://xdaforums.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.

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.

Thanks for all you've done Kasper. And also congrats on being in the Nameless team. I'll be flashing soon and hopefully it'll be as smooth as always. :)

That is just awesome ;) First thing I tried on the p4 of my girlfriend was bluetooth audio via speaker - and guess - yes, it works! :cowboy:

Haven`t tried anything more yet... Will do now! Now my girlfriend will be more happy, and everyone knows what this means :D

Kasper, the next beer is on me, donation already sent (confirmation no 6J252983C53731053)...

Keep up the good work!

Van I flash this with the same TWRP version as Omni?

BTW: what is the maximum size of gapps package that can be installed? I.e. can we only use the mini package?

    Yes Kasper I do agree with you on that, but I think you were very close! I am still running your build from10 March and it s not really bad. I had to switch to TWRP as there seem to be a difference with CWM.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    What I could also do is that once the nameless codebase has reached a more stable state is compile a ROM for p4/p4wifi. I would need some tested then, as I won't be able to test it myself. But if I base it on the same code I successfully build ROMs with for other devices, chances that it will work are high.
