Install TouchWiz UX Based ROM On Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wi-Fi [How To]

Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-10.1_1-1If you own the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and follow up on the latest updates for the device as they happen, you would know that Samsung is preparing an update for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that is the new TouchWiz UX custom interface. While most wait for the update, looks like the Italians are getting their 10.1 Tabs with the TouchWiz UX pre-installed! This is where XDA-Developers forum member LevitateJay came to the rescue and extracted the Italian version of the TouchWiz UX as it is and released it for download.

Not just that, he also packed it up in two varying packages, one in a zip format to be installed via ClockworkMod recovery, and one in a .tar format for flashing via ODIN. There are a few bugs however, as the ROM extracted is actually from a 3G version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and we’re porting it to the Wi-Fi version.

  • Email app doesn’t let you sync (Gmail still works fine).
  • Samsung Apps app will not start due to no SIM card.
  • And maybe a few more.

You can catch a few screenshots of the ROM below, courtesy of LevitateJay.
