[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soundtoxin:
It's possible to get root, but there's no way to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM that I know of. So, you can do stuff like disable amazon apps including the launcher (so the home button will use your own favorite launcher) and try to make the best of what there is on FireOS, but it's an ancient android version with a lot of crap on it, and it's getting less useful by the day. I would love it if I could make mine more useful. It really is tempting to just sell it and get a different year's version that is more hackable, but part of me doesn't even want to ever buy an Amazon tablet again. Nothing but trouble from these things.

For root, use these.

Amazing Temp Root for MediaTek ARMv8 [2020-08-24]

Software root method for MediaTek MT67xx, MT816x, and MT817x! So it's no big secret that not too long ago, I found a way to achieve temporary root on MediaTek chipsets. No preinstalled root solution or device unlock was needed. The tool I...

It is notably missing the line for the launcher, though. If you've got something like OpenLauncher installed, additionally do this:

`pm disable com.amazon.firelauncher`

I recommend getting additional apps from F-Droid rather than adding Google apps and services. This thing has enough spyware on it as it is. ;)

We provide a unique and beautiful user interface out-of-the-box that's inspired by OnePlus' OxygenOS, and can be tweaked to your liking.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] shaolin95:
Aside from installing Vanced youtube...I am not sure I need root anymore. Weird to say that as I was big into custom ROMs, root, overclocking my phones back in the day :D

Anyway, mostly using this to replace my aging original Tab S 10.5 which is now been used inside my PC to display CPU speeds, temps, etc.

It was lagging with EMBY and other things even with custom ROMs but I am glad I was able to find a new home for it to be useful.

Thanks for any feedback!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Pazzu510:
Same boat, I was really into root and other tweaks, now I'll get frustrated if I have to spend much time getting the experience I supposedly paid for. I actually just browse this forums in hopes of an update on next oneUI versions since they seem to have fixed some of the small caveats I find with the current version; sadly we are probably never going to get it though.

Anyway, the tab is beautiful and fast, and it will do most of the things you are expecting without losing a beat. To get the most out of it I would recommend getting the "good lock" apps to further personalize your experience (I wish someone told me about these before since I used the device for a month before finding them). The one hand operation(together with navigating gestures), the task changer(smaller more manageable app changer menu and initializing apps in floating mode from there), and the multistar(some nice tweaks to the floating mode like swiping from a to corner to start floating an that is already on screen) are the most useful in my perspective. I also downloaded an app called edge gestures to personalize my gesture experience even further, and an app called no keyboard because sometimes you just need to select/move/copy/paste text without the keyboard(even floating) to take any space on your screen.

Other nice apps I would recommend would be concepts(though still in development it is a nice vector based, layer-supporting drawing app), write 3.0 for general note taking(snappier stroke experience you'll get on android, and also vector based), and I cannot believe how much I have gotten into 3d sculpting and modeling with an app called nomad(is just so much fun even without knowing what you are doing).

I hope you have a great time with your tablet!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] shaolin95:
Than you so much for the information! Mine arrives tomorrow. I will research all the apps you mentioned. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] InsertCoin_Pls:
I totally agree with Pazzu510. I use my tablet a looooooot, I use it for work and for media. I'm going to recommed you to give it a try the default samunsg apps that comes with the tablet. I LOVE the file explorer, you can syncronize one note and its just perfect. The browser is awesome too, it has a lot of configurations. I use samsung notes for my college notes, but I already tried noteshelf (very good app too, but samsung works better with the spen in my opinion. Try both and use whatever you like more) Xodo, to annotate on pdf or just open them its just a must have. It has a very good integration with the spen, onenote, etc, and you can have mutiple pdfs open.

I recommend you to set the battery limitation to 85% to protect it. And take a time and configure the energy app administration settings to bring you the best experience.

I'm very very happy with my tablet and I hope you the same!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] shaolin95:
Thank you very much. It is on the UPS delivery truck and should be here in the next 3 hours or so. Really pumped to finally upgrade from the old S 10.5 :)

Thanks for the tips!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] shaolin95:
The tablet is fantastic so far. Just trying to figure out which case style I prefer now. Probably will end up with like 4 cases at least.

The one disappointment was the sound...with the 4 speakers "tuned by akg" I was expecting more. My Mate 20x actually sounds better (which I know is highly regarded for sound but still). Luckily speaker usage is not crucial for me.

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] PieceKeepr:
I am considering moving to a Oneplus 8 Pro or maybe 8T. I have been using an HTC U11 running Team Venom roms for years but with them no longer developing and no updates coming it is time to consider moving on.

I have read some posts on rooting and it seems pretty straight forward. I'm assuming that TWRP will eventually have a recovery unless there is information to the contrary that I haven't seen? How does the Oneplus 8 run with the stock rom but with root access? I know this is subjective but would you recommend another rom rather than staying stock if I root?

I feel like I will regret not having an external SD card but I guess that can't be a deal breaker since a lot of phones don't have them now.

Thanks in advance for your input.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Hello there,

Long time HTC use myself since the beginning (G1 days)

I have to say that the 8 pro is a stellar device which absolutely ticks single box, plus it looks slightly funky too which as an ex HTC owner I really like that.

TWRP actually is not needed at all.

Magisk ROMs install using magisk, AOSP, PA, pixel ROMs all install using a bat file inst adb / fastboot, to rescue you can do several things.

For magisk ROMs that fail simply boot to safe mode then reboot and they'll be deactivated.

For custom ROM recovery you have several choices, the main one is the MSM tool which is an official OnePlus deployment / maintenance tool that can return you to stock in a few minutes, the other would be to extract the payload.bin of a firmware (the ROM part) then use the installer bat you used to install the custom ROM.

Kernels can be installed using a kernel manager like ex kernel manager so no worries there.

As for a functional TWRP. If you remain on Android 10 then you have it. 11 is currently being worked on and is making great strides from some talented Devs.

In all it's a good situation, the phone is brilliant; no two ways about it, the community is thriving and when you notice it go quiet it's usually because everything for everyone is working perfectly, I personally couldn't go back to HTC now unless they dropped a true beast of a phone.

The only gripe I have about the whole device and development community is the camera on custom ROMs, it's GCam or third party software which for most is ok. But I missed the stability of OOS and using all four cameras.

That being said there more than enough to keep you occupied and flashing the best ROMs you'll find on XDA, that will only continue and get stronger.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] PieceKeepr:
That was my impression based on what I've read. Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

I'm most likely going to pick one up sometime in next few weeks or so and I'm thinking about rooting and running the stock rom just to see how it goes and be able to make full system backups just in case. I'm sure more development will be done and it should be viable for a good while.

Thanks again.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Yea my thoughts exactly, initially I wanted to root and go a bit nuts but the stock OS is actually really well made, I use CPL launcher to give me the extra options visually.

I turn off zram and make a few CPU / GPU tweaks in ex manager but beyond that I don't need anything else.

If you can't be bothered debloating or you want mods with the stock OOS then choose xXx or R-Ice.

Again there will be more.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] reilus:
From what I read, the 8T is a downgrade from the 8 Pro. I'm looking to see the 9 Pro, and if it's not great, I'm going to get another 8 Pro. =)
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Is there an 8T pro?

The 9 pro should be a beast but....

Not sure where they can go in regards to innovation but they're on a particular path now, but the size can't be bigger, it's already IP certified and has wireless charging, RAM is maxed out.

I think the major changes are going to be the battery, maybe the cameras (again), possibly audio and hopefully efficiency.

Maybe a more dedicated gaming mode or some aftermarket peripherals like the ROG and razor.

Time will tell but I like the formula they have with the 8 pro, the build quality is superb.

Perhaps the screen will be upgraded too.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] galaxys:

OnePlus 9 Pro review: One of the best Android phones you can get

The OnePlus 9 Pro is a nearly perfect Android phone

www.tomsguide.com
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Yep that's kind of what I was saying.. (well I wasn't far off) same size, camera upgrade, no word on gaming but I like the direction they were going with that, other things like wireless charging and IP have been done and as such they're staying, no word on audio but hopefully they do bump that up.

I think Moore's law is finally dying on mobile chips the 865 and coupled adreno in the 8 pro are stupendous chips, the games that it's capable of running beats the Shields Nvidia chip which is considerable when you think about it and unless the 888 doubles up, it's an evolution rather than revolutionary chip In comparison.

I'm not sure I'd bother getting the 9 or 9 pro, I don't see the upgrade worth it. If I was on a 6 or maybe a 7 pro then perhaps but the 8 pro for the first time in my android life actually is going to last it's contract duration due to it being such a strong phone, unless maybe you've got screen issues.

Unless they add aperture control to the camera :D

U never know ;)
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] null0seven:
Was a HTC fun. Awesome phones, but soft upgrades suck.

I recomend 8 Pro. Now you can buy it cheap from online sales forums. I pay 570 euro for just the phone (like new). I already have warp charger and cables. 8/128 gb new cost 900 euro.

Unfortunately 9 pro will not be much of a difference. "Leaks" SD 888, some camera updates, 65w warp charge. Wireless still 30w. Still Great. I use it. It's awesome.

512gb memory it will hurt the price bad.

My hope was that they give us a square flat screen with no creap front camera.
