We have compiled a list of the best custom ROMs out there for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet. A custom ROM is a new ROM that is made by third-party developers. The idea behind a custom ROM is to give you a chance to run unique features that better suit what you want on a device.
When you buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 from Samsung and open it out of the box, you all have the same UI and same features by default. The new custom ROMs change all that. Furthermore, these ROMs can sometimes increase your device performance.
