Update Galaxy Tab P1000 to Android 4.3 / CM 10.2

Glad to hear that my old Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 (the first Samsung’s Tablet) received CyanogenMod 10.2 nightly build which is based-on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. Although the tablet has been more than 2 years old with me (released on October, 2010 – almost 3 years ago), but the device runs flawlessly till now.

UPDATE: There is unofficial release of CyanogenMod 13 which is based-on Android 6.0 Marshmallow available to download. You can follow our tutorial on how to install CyanogenMod 13 on Galaxy Tab P1000.

UPDATE: CyanogenMod 11 based-on Android KitKat 4.4.1 for Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 is ready. Go to this post (Update Galaxy Tab P1000 to Android 4.4 Kitkat) if you want to jump to install Android KitKat on Galaxy Tab P1000.

Previously I had rooted the device using ClockworkMod and installed the CyanogenMod 10.1 custom ROM (Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean). So if your tablet has not been rooted yet, try to search on how to do it.
