Hey, ok so I want to know what's the best hack for my new device
Hi all,
Okay so my Galaxy Tab A7 Lite has arrived. I did some searching and it seems like there are a million options as far as replacing / hacking the rom.
So, all I want to do is have root access, and be rid of any bloat that’s built in. I prefer whatever is most tried and true, and whatever does not have any iffy components still. Like, I want everything to function without glitches, I want to get the most out of my hardware, and other than that, I really don’t want a 100-step process.
So, recommends? What’s available that’s very reliable and what does it offer me?
(Eg: GSI+Root, Lineage, Havoc, et al)
I appreciate any advice. Thank you.
You're viewing a single thread.
My advice is to go to the XDA forums and find your device there. You should be able to tell from replies and view counts of the threads which of the ROMs and mods are the most popular.
The forums are insanely difficult to navigate. Every post is a collection of abbreviations. Every instruction guide refers to steps as though you already know how to carry them out as in “pumf your giget then wink the boop then skit the yump”
I wish there was a tutorial that was step by step with detailed articulation of exactly what each thing is. Used to be they’d do that.
My product is SM-T220NZSPXAR sku SM-T220NZSPG. I’d like to root it and debloat things I don’t want running, I’d like to be able to move apps over to my sd, and I want to be able to disable automatic starting of junk.
I did this years ago on my Zenpad and it was pretty clear and easy. I guess I’m getting old.
I wrote my first program on an Apple IIe when I was like 9. This is just overwhelming me with info that isn’t really coherent at all.
I found a is this what I want?
How to unlock & root Tab A7 Lite T220/225, install LSPosed, Magisk, Mods.I can relate. I'm getting tired of having to do this kind of thing for all my devices just to make them work. I'm even probably going to switch to iPhone because at this point I just want my phone to work reliably, and my OnePlus 8T never has.
I want to own what I have that’s why I wanna root. I also want decent battery life and performance. All the hardware manufacturers seem to cram as much in there as they can, so you’ll quickly find yourself wanting something better. I got the Zenpad to be able to give me like 20 hours of battery life when using it as an e-reader. I wish rooting and super user etc. steps for this were as easy as that device was.
My phone is iPhone but this is tablet and I want more privilege on this thing. No justification for me not to be able to do absolutely anything and everything I want.
So basically this is where I've landed on this after rooting, moding, etc. all of my electronics for the last 30 years: for devices where I want to customize everything, it's going to be done with a Linux computer to begin with because there's absolutely nothing standing in my way. For other things that I just need to work reliably and not become yet another chore, I buy some product. So I would buy a thermostat, but build my own NAS (with a 3D printed 7-bay case).
I'm beyond sick - as I think you might be too - of all the extra stuff I have to keep up with whenever I jailbreak/root/whatever a device just so I don't fuck it up with some careless action or update. I just don't have the same amount of free time and mental energy to dedicate to this stuff anymore. I wish I did though.
Yeah I’m kinda the same way. The problem is I want this Android device I just need to gain root and take out google’s always running always spying stuff. That’s all I need to change.
The entire mobile device market is an organized crime enterprise at this point. So it’s a matter of just getting what you need out of it as easily as you can. I definitely don’t allocate any time to this stuff for fun. I used to, but now I just want to do what I need and that’s it.
