Impressions: Cyanogenmod Jellybean 4.2.1 on Samsung Tab 2 10.1


We bought my dad, who isn't tech savvy, a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (model GT-P5113). He was in the market for a new laptop so he could view his foreign streaming channels and check emails. Thats all he does on his computer. Being nosy and curious, I checked out the Tab 2 so see how well it performed. The Tab 2 came preinstalled with Android 4.0.4 ICS. It is an interesting device but after the release of the Google Nexus devices, I felt like it had some features I didn't want. What I didn't like about the Tab 2 is Samsung's UI and preinstalled apps, though tablet touch wiz is not that bad of an UI. I just prefer a stock OS; Nexus OS running stock Jellybean 4.2.1 was perfect. That's what I wanted for my Tab 2 my dad's Tab 2. Luckily, the tablet can be rooted and installed with a custom rom.
