Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Custom Rom
"ZAP" because it's faster than stock, "BLASTER" because IR blaster works!
Built using 5113 and 5100 sources
All builds are tested on GT-P5113 before release. All GT-P5100 files are released UNTESTED so don't blame me if 3G breaks!
Flash at your own risk. Will void warranties. Not responsible for bricked devices. YMMV

Pretty much everything I removed from the ROM. Essentially turns the tablet back to stock.
Stock sounds, stock boot/shutdown animations, stock apps, stock wallpapers, stock extra files on SD card... everything.
So if you just want a stock ROM with reboot options then flash this zip after the ROM!

KNOWN BUGS/ISSUES
Glitchy boot screen: Happens when you update from ICS directly to a custom Jellybean. Update using an OTA release, then flash custom to fix.
Others? I honestly don't care.

FAQs
"Will this work on GT-P51XX?" Yes. Aroma installer lets you choose which version you have.
"Can I flash a custom kernel over this ROM?" But of course! Should work with any kernel built for 4.2.2
"Where are the other stock lockscreen wallpapers?" They are still there. Go into /system/wallpaper/ and rename either file to lockscreen_default_wallpaper.jpg and they will come back.
"I'm working on my own ROM. Can I borrow XYZ from yours?" I've worked for hours on this for free, so make sure to give proper credit and link back to this thread.
"This has completely saved my device! How can I ever repay you?" Well, you can always click "thanks!" If you want to go above and beyond, you can donate to the "Taylor needs a new smartphone" fund by clicking the button under my profile pic.

Thanks
Samsung for a great Tablet, Google for a great OS
UOT Kitchen Team for battery icons
amarullz for the original Aroma install script
brolee93 for original Reboot Options script
lokeshsaini94 for the original instructions of how to create a custom ROM

Special Thanks

So happy to have some roms to flash on my device. It's been a while since I had a phone with a lot of development, my incredibe S is smashed and i need a heat gun to repair it but I thought there'd be lots of development on the Galaxy Tab 2 but there isn't. Although I'm noticing it's starting to pick up a bit, it's so awesome. I prefer the TW roms to the aosp because the tab 2 has a keyboard with the numbers at the top, instead of long pressing the qwerty buttons. I much like that and now I am sure I will like this! Can't wait to test it out after work.

Re: [ROM][4.1.1][GT-p5113] Zap Blaster

Does anyone actually want a Quick Reboot option? I have it in mind to remove that choice as it worked before using the OC kernel, but won't now. I'm really not sure if it can be fixed...

It would be kind of nice if you need to report for an app or mod etc :)

Re: [ROM][4.1.1][GT-p5113] Zap Blaster

Yeah that's true, but like I said the code wasn't changed, but it no longer works. I'll double-check my file sometime JIC and if it IS the kernel, I'll possibly make an update removing the option for now. I saw a different line of code somewhere I could try in the future, but forgot where. :p

Edit: Well, I found the code, but there's no guarantee it will work, or that I'll even be able to check it out tonight.

Either way, awesome rom, now I just have to figure out how to change the boot animation and hopefully get multiWindow eventually

Re: [ROM][4.1.1][GT-p5113] Zap Blaster

Grr... the OC kernel is causing more issues than I originally thought...
I might just have to rework it without the OC kernel, and maybe have an add-on package with it included plus the OC tweaks I've made... or the other way around. :banghead:

In the stock Samsung keyboard with continuous input typing checked in settings I see the blue trail but no words appear, I tried rechecking in settings and still nothing except the Blue trail

I just wiped and flashed the Stock Deodex Zipalign, and continuous input was broken there too. When I searched about the issue, I saw continuous input aka swipe breaks easily across all Samsung devices... so the issue unfortunately lies with Samsung's programming. In other words, this issue would be beyond my scope to fix. There are some 3rd party alternatives on Google Play, but that's about all you can do. Sorry...

Also, I just checked my code for the Quick Reboot option, and it is the same. I don't know why it broke! I'll try re-flashing just the reboot options and see what happens. If that doesn't work, I'll try swapping the code with another one.

Oh well I usually use the split keyboard anyways, it was more for your knowledge. Thank you for all your hard work. I love the rom it's so clean, keep it up

OP updated with v0.2 update!
Flash over v0.1, wipe cache/dalvik and enjoy!
Changes: Updates kernel to 0.4.5, but keeps the OC tweaks I built into the ROM. Should fix Quick Reboot option (it did for me!)

This will probably be my only ROM update the rest of the week as I will be crazy busy.

    That's right, I figured out the Aroma scripting and now it's an all-in-one installer! That's why the file is larger than before (but I was able to keep it below 600 MB).
    When you install you can choose between 5100/5110/5113 as well as kkboot-nooc/kkboot-oc/next-nooc/next-oc kernels!
    I tested several variations of the script itself and it went through them without error, then I installed using 5113 & next-oc and it worked!

    If people want to modify my Aroma script for their own ROM/kernel go ahead, but give me credit!

    Think of this as a "thank you" to everyone for putting up with my bad attitude the past week or so. I was feeling drained...
    If you dirty flash, clear the "reboot" option at the end of the aroma script and close out, then do the wipe cache/dalvik through TWRP and reboot.
    Cool thing that was fixed with this update without trying, now you can tap the edges of the home screen to switch pages again! :D
    Edit: Evidently Samsung still hasn't 100% fixed this glitch, as the Widgets menu only lets you click forward not back using the edges. Home and apps work though!
