Background
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (model P7500) in November 2011, it
came with Android 3 (HoneyComb) installed which was the tablet version
of Android. Of course I was expecting Samsung to push out 4.x at some
time under 2013 but it does not seem very likely that they will come
through (the Android 4.0 version is still listed as
preliminary for Q4 2013)
Of course I could just go out and purchase the Samsung Galaxy 10.1
version 2 tables, I am sure that would make Samsung very happy and my
wife very angry with me so I decided to do it myself and install
CyanogenMod 10 with Android 4.2.2
Everything is working fine running this version of CyanogenMod, 3G, Wifi and the Camera, all good!
Note that I am using Windows 8 but it should work using 7 or Vista, I guess.
important: you are doing all of this on your own risk, I can not be held responsible if you brick your device.
