Install Android 5.0.2 Lollipop ROM on Galaxy Tab P1000. Yes you heard it right! The latest Android L is now available for Galaxy Tab
GT-P1000. The main thing is that it is not based on any ordinary custom ROM but its the famous Omni ROM. All thanks goes to hygo,
the recognized member from xda who made all the efforts to develop this beautiful ROM. After flashing this unofficial firmware youll not
only experience the Android Lollipop features but also the Omni extra features which will improve the overall performance of your tablet.
As you all know Samsung unfortunately stopped rolling out official updates after GB for Tab P1000. So instead of using the same old
Gingerbread OS you can switch to this latest Android Lollipop and experience the amazing new features. In this article well be discussing
a detailed step by step process on how to install the latest Android 5.0.2 Lollipop based stable Omni ROM on Galaxy Tab P1000.

Try every step mentioned below at your own risk. If anything goes wrong then neither we nor the developers of this ROM will be held
responsible for that. Although it is very unlikely that your Galaxy Tab P1000 will get damaged still I recommend you to apply everything
given below correctly and without a single mistake. Also note that this Omni custom ROM must be flashed only and only on Samsung
Galaxy Tab having model number GT-P1000. Do not apply this ROM on any other device except the one mentioned as it might brick
your tablet. Better check your devices model number from Menu->Settings>About Tablet before proceeding further.

Pre-Requisites:

Ensure that your galaxy Tab P1000 is charged at least up to 60% so as to decrease the risk of interruption during the flashing
process.

Backup all your tablets data and settings including contacts, messages, call logs, memos etc. to your tablets SD card or on your PC
for more safety. Do not ignore this step as everything gets wiped in the last step of this procedure.

Also make sure youve installed mobile specific drivers on your PC. This is recommended so as to recognize your Galaxy Tab P1000
when connected via USB data cable. You can install them by installing Samsung Kies or manually install them from the link given
below:

1. Download Windows 32 bit x86 drivers.

1. Download Windows 64 bit x64 drivers.

Make sure your Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 is rooted. Also a custom recovery like Clockworkmod (CWM) or TWRP must be installed
before proceeding further. If you havent done it yet, dont worry just refer our article given below:

1. How to Root and install CWM recovery on Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000.

You need to backup EFS folder present in your tablets system directory. This folder contains all your tablets specific information such
as the IMEI, wireless devices MAC addresses, product code, and much more. So a backup of this folder is essential. There is always
a risk that this EFS folder might get corrupted. If so happened, your device will be completely useless & will no longer be recognized
by your carrier. Refer our article to backup and restore EFS/IMEI data:

1. How to backup and restore EFS/IMEI on Android Phones.

1. Download Google Apps for Galaxy Tab P1000.

1. Download SuperSU.zip for Galaxy Tab P1000.

Procedure:

Step 1: Download all the zip package files in a specific folder on your PC. Do not extract them.

Step 2: Now connect your Galaxy Tab P1000 to computer using USB data cable, enable USB debugging mode and copy the downloaded
files on your tablets SD card.

Note: If computer doesnt recognize your Galaxy Tab P1000 then re-install the Samsung USB drivers from the link given in Pre-
Requisites section. If the problem still persists then replace USB data cable or use a proper working USB port.

Step 3: Now safely disconnect your tablet from PC. Switch it off completely and boot into recovery mode. For that simultaneously keep
pressing and holding Volume up+ Power button till you land into recovery mode.

Note: Touch wont work in recovery mode. So use Home button to navigate up and down and use Search button for selection.

If you are already using a custom ROM then the first thing you need to do is take a complete backup of the same. This backup is called
as Nandroid backup and is the backup of your tablets entire operating system & is always helpful during the failure while flashing process
or during any problem with the ROM, so that you can easily restore your saved previous ROM.

Refer our detailed article for taking Nandroid backup:

1. How to take Nandroid Backup of any Android Phone with 8 simple methods.

Step 4: For taking a nandroid backup of your current ROM, use Home key and navigate to the backup & restore option on the recovery
mode itself and on the next screen select backup option using Search button. This will make a complete nandroid backup and will be
saved on your tablets SD card. Refer screenshots.

Step 5: Now you need to wipe the data and cache partitions from your tablets internal memory. For doing so, navigate to the wipe
data/factory reset option using Home key. Select it using Search button. On the next screen press Yes option to start the wiping process.
Similarly navigate to the wipe cache partition option and select it to wipe the caches. Note that this step will clear entire data from your
tablets internal memory including contacts, messages, apps, memos, call logs etc. So a complete backup of everything must be done
before attempting this step (Refer Pre-requisites section).

Step 6: Return to the main menu and select the Advanced option located on the recovery mode itself. On the next screen select Reboot
Recovery option. Wait until you boot again into recovery.

Lets move to the actual flashing process now.

Step 7: Now using Home key navigate to the install zip from SD card option. Select it using Search button. Then on the next screen
select choose zip from SD card option. This will show you all the files and folders present on your external SD card. Then navigate to
the Omni 4.4.4 ROM which youve copied earlier. Select it using Search button. On the next screen select Yes option to start the
flashing process.

Note: After sometime the tablet will automatically boot into TeamWin (TWRP) recovery. Be patient and wait until the flashing process
completes. In this TWRP recovery touch works so no need to use any keys for navigation or selection.

Step 8: Now in TWRP, tap on the Wipe option. On the next screen select the Dalvik cache, cache, system and data options. Then Swipe
to start the wiping process. This step is essential to solve the boot loop issue.

Lollipop Omni ROM flashing process.

Note: It is recommended to flash the Omni 5.0.2 ROM two times for successful installation.

data/cache after that.

Step 12: After implementing everything as mentioned above, just reboot your Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 by selecting reboot option
from the TWRP recovery mode. Note that the first boot takes more time to start than usual.

Note: If you want to restore back your previous saved Rom, then you can do that by going back to the recovery mode by pressing &

Hey, do you still have this ROM installed on your tablet? This slowness problem when opening
applications and to boot is the only problem you are having with this ROM, right? Im asking this
because Im thinking about installing it on the tablet as well. I think that to solve this problem you
need to disable the background applications in the Developer Settings menu. Also blocking
applications that start with the system should help. Slowness was already to be expected in this
tablet because it is running an 2014/15 system on a tablet with single core processor with half a
gigabyte of RAM. So thats it, Im waiting for reply, bye.
