With Ice Cream Sandwich being the flavor of the season, although most tablets out there have not received an official update as yet, the development on Honeycomb, or Android 3.0 seemed to have slowed down a bit. It’s encouraging to see Honeycomb custom ROMs coming out now and then, especially for devices as popular as the Galaxy Tab 10.1″.
XDA developer scrosler has just released a custom Honeycomb ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1″ GT-P7510 WiFi . It’s called CleanROM 1.2, and is based on Samsung stock firmware version HTJ85B.UEKMP, Android 3.2 Honeycomb. It’s designed to be a cleaned up ROM, devoid of all bloatware, making it a lean, fast and stable ROM.
Have a look at the features:
- Performance and battery enhancements
- Removed Samsung bloat apps!
- ROM will reboot automatically when install is complete
- File Manager HD
- Antutu CPU Master
- NetFlix
- Hulu Plus
- Fast Reboot
- Xoom Browser
- De-Odex’ed
- Zip Aligned
- All Non stock apps can be removed!

works. I purchased sgtab 10.1 32gb wifi and did the ICS update and lost USB connectivity. used the above-mentioned fix to reinstall. Platinum! I will wait to see if S issues ICS update (not holding my breath). Thank you very much. I could have very well returned the tablet to BB (purchased a year warranty), but I am happy I took time to research a fix.
