Help with old tablet - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the Samsung model number gt-p7500R. It's gotten very very slow and I can't update past android 4.0.4. I can't even get most apps because of the Android version. How can I update to a newer android version and maybe help the speed a bit?

You just flash cm's 4.2.2 like you did 4.1.....no different. Better read up on it.....sounds like you're a bit confused on how things work. Better to understand exactly what you are doing and not just blindly follow instructions.....best way to keep your device working smoothly and issue free.
The fact that you're on 4.1 has nothing to do with what you flash. Unless you're talking about a dirty flash.....which is a bad idea when changing o/s versions. You want to do a clean install. Backup your apps with titanium backup first.....then off you go.

Running new apps on old OS

I would have simply updated the app but it is apparently not compatible with my device since this phone runs on an older OS.
The newest version of snapchat requires at least Android 4.0
Is there any possible way I can update my OS on my exhibit ii from my current version, 2.3.6. to Android 4.0?
I read a lot of posts about rooting and such but I really don't understand what it is or how to do it
If someone could provide me with a fix for the snapchat issue (running it on my current OS) or detailed instructions on how to safely root my device to run Android 4.0 on my phone then I will be the happiest girl in the world!
Please please please help! I just want snapchat back

What Android Version is best for the S6 Active?

Curious what people think is the best Android version for the S6 Active. I have 5.1.1 and wondering if I should downgrade, upgrade or leave it...
@raframos, the best OS for your S6 Active, is the Android Nougat 7.0. The reason is because it comes with the latest security updates, and also apps are more compatible with it. Android 5.1.1 is outdated. I advice you should NOT (in capital letters) downgrade the OS because it can mess up with your IMEI and Serial No (It happened to me and I will repair it this week). So, I suggest that you should first upgrade to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, and try it out for some weeks. If you are satisfied with it,you can upgrade but if not, stay there.

you will not be able to use my orange as your current android version is not verfiied

the app can not open and say ( you will not be able to use my orange as your current android version is not verfiied by google ) any one help me
Your phone is running Kit Kat 4.4.4, Lollipop 5.1.1 or Marshmallow 6.0.1.
The problem is the android versions running on the note 4 are old, I use a note 4, a N910C, it runs 6.0.1, the phone is almost 6 years old, our phones are ancient, when it comes to technology.
As time goes on, and new android versions are released, they depreciate older versions.
Orange don't want their app running on whatever version you have on your phone, and have decided to compile it without the SDK for your version of Android.
Download a earlier version of the My Orange app and then it should work
