These are the best custom ROMs for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 device. The list features the work from popular teams such as crDroid, the official CyanogenMod custom ROM, SlimLP, CandySix, Resurrection Remix and plenty more. The CyanogenMod ROM is the most popular in the world and everyone should try it out at least once if it’s available for your device. Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 owners do have that luxury available.
