Galaxy Tab 3.7.0 Android page

I am looking into rooting my Samsung tablet so I can run a more recent version of Android. Here is one page that was referred to me as a good resource for doing this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-7

Unfortunately, with a SM-T210R tablet it does not appear like there is any implementations past 4.1.2

However, for the rooting process a good starter document for some of the steps you have to take, and the tools for the job.

• getting the Samsung USB driver software
• placing device in USB debugging mode
• downloading the odin software and using it to load the md5 file

Only thing as a newbie here, I was not so much prepared for the flickering issue after the install.

This video by RootJunky.com made me realize I needed the ClockWorkMod recovery tool for installing zip files from my SD card. I would soon after find out how i get things on sd card. 

In order to mount to the sd card, I found at the command line a tool called adb which can be run at the command line. Its located in sdk from android in the platform_tools directory

• C:\Java\androidtools\platform-tools>adb devices
• C:\Java\androidtools\platform-tools>adb push RocketTab3.0.zip /sdcard/Android/

After having the zip on the sdcard, you simply install it using the CWM tool from above. The tool is present when you hold down the power,home, and volume up button and start navigating through the directories.

Yes, I now have Rocket Tab lite installed.

Some other tools i learned about today are Goo manager and Rom manager

Beaconville

The technology that still works even if cell signals are blocked ( i.e.  cell phone jamming ) is Beacon or  iBeacon (apple) :

"They are poised to transform how retailers, event organizers, transit systems, enterprises, and educational institutions communicate with people indoors. Consumers might even want to deploy them as part of home automation systems ."

With iBeacons :

"companies will be able to provide deals to people that are walking past their stores. But for now, iBeacon will simply help people that are already inside an Apple retail location." [more]

Payments - Proxima Wallet :

"On the user’s side, there is no physical credit card to take from your wallet; you do everything in the app. On the vendor’s side, there is no card reader that needs to be plugged into your phone; the iPhone itself, as you bought it, is the cash register. No swiping required"

'you’re able to get an approximate range in terms of distance to the beacon,” Nolan says. “So you join the queue to buy something from the vendor and when you get to the top of the queue the vendor can take your order, which is all seamlessly handled by the software the vendor uses. You approve the purchase and the entire communication is handled securely over the multipeer APIs Apple shipped in iOS 7, and proxied through the vendor’s device if your device does not have a currently responsive Internet connection'
