Finally, the original 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab gets to taste some Ice Cream Sandwich. Thanks to a MIUI 4 port for the original Galaxy Tab P1000, the tablet can now enjoy some of the goodness of Android 4.0.
I just surprised. It is almost unbelievable that my first generation of Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 has just received Android 4.4.2 KitKat, thanks to CyanogenMod 11 custom ROM and especially thanks to terenceng who posted the ROM on a forum thread in XDA-Developers forum. Galaxy Tab P1000 is almost 4 years old.

A member of XDA Developers, sinamosavi, was able to port the MIUI 4 ROM to the Galaxy Tab. The ROM is based on CyanogenMod 9, which in turn is based on stock Android 4.0 code from the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).
The custom ROM for the Galaxy Tab is still an alpha build, so you can expect it to carry several bugs. Among the known bugs included in the ROM are all bugs carried over from CyanogenMod 9. Wi-Fi and SD mounts are also reportedly problematic.
