Got mine and love it to bits. Amazing for the price.
Would like a custom rom more than rooting but rooting would be good too Something to clear up the programs and stuff to make the most of the 1.5ghz dual core.

Hi,
I have a zoostorm 3305 that I want to get an external 3g dongle working on. After googling I believe i need to root it first, but I'm new to rooting, and not sure what software/drivers i need and where to get them. I would love some help if you have any on offer.
Cheers
Andychat..

how good are these ?
speed in general
Speed of keyboard popping up when in chrome ?
viewing angles (I totally hate poor viewing angles)
updates

I am more than happy with the speed. Keyboard delay pop-up can sometimes be slow.(its usually when emails are being synced). I improved the touchscreen response by using an app to recalibrate it. I think its hindered by the supplied screen protector.
The only thing I can't do is mobile 3g internet. I think I need to root.
I'm. Awaiting I bit of help from the guru's on this forum.
Cheers

and the viewing angles ?

I don't think they are bad. I don't really watch TV or movies on it. It doesn't seem any worse than my Samsung so phone.
Not sure if this helps you much. I would recommend one if you don't have the finances for the Samsung Tablets or the ipads.

sounds good
I did have the Gemini JoyTab 9.7 Duo
I RMA'd it cause as soon as you tilted it slightly right the whole right side washed out
it was so bad that even flat direct ahead you could see the start of the right side polarize wash out with what must be only a few degrees off centre
fine all 3 others ways, I though mine my have been faulty till I went in to a staples and checked their display model, exact same issue.

I sent you a PM via YouTube (Sorry), couldn't post on here for some reason but sorted now.
I have never rooted Android (very new to it) and can't find anything solid about rooting Zoostorm Playtab 10" Tablet. I really don't want to brick it.
I was wondering if you may be able to help me as it sounds like you have rooted the Playtab successfully?
Do you have any links to or name of the guide / firmware you used for the root?
Has the root improved the overall performance of you Zoostorm Playtab as mine can often freeze or delay mid use with the stock firmware?
Cheers mate.

I'm new to Tablets so not sure how useful this can be because i havn't used many others but...
speed in general is quite good however it seemed to run faster when it was new and "fresh" but now having since installed more apps, it seems to temporarily freeze mid-use e.g. going through settings tabs, launching apps etc. I often get a "not responding" message and choice to wait or quit. Waiting seems to work but as this is happening more and more, it's a concern and hence why i'm looking to root.
There is sometimes a 1 or 2 sec delay with keyboard popping up (not sure in Chrome, i'm talking general use). Its not a problem for me.
Viewing angles are reasonable to me but you can see it wash out when looking from the sides but I tend to look at it straight on anyway.
To be honest you get what you pay for (currently £114-£120 on Amazon UK / eBuyer) and it's not bad at all, especially if I can figure this freeze issue.
Hope this helps.

Not sure if you sorted it but these tablets are pretty unbrickable as are most RK3066 based tablets, I've done more wipes & reflashes on this tablet than I care to remember.
You can try to flash the original ROM from here - http://downloads.zoostorm.com/drivers/android/PlayTab/
I did manage to flash a build of CyanogenMod 10 based on another RK3066 tablet on this tablet but it wasn't really what you would call stable, it had screen rotation bugs, random reboots plus Wifi wasn't working at all & as I'm not a developer I soon reverted back to stock, for the most part the tablet runs pretty well with it's stock ROM, 3G works well with the PPP Widget app etc.
It was either this one - http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/39750-romgenerickmod-jb41cwmzip-for-pipo-u1max-m11/
Or this one - http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/41777-romcyanogen-10-for-rk3066-wip/
I'm just glad it has a working CWM Recovery & is easy to root

I'm really digging mine too. Most times when opening Dolphin browser or other browsers it will hang for 5-8 secs sometimes. You guys get that? only think that pees me off really.
If we could get it a tad snappier, would be great too!
How do I get flash on this thing?

I've also got the freezing issue occasionally, not sure what causes that.
My main issue at the moment is I can't use "OpenVPN for Android". It claims it can't access /dev/tun so it doesn't work (ticking the box to fix this in CM doesn't work as it's not rooted). Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Freezing is caused by software trying to access root imho. Avoid software that needs root access.

[Q] Exteme lg flex 2 lag

I have had My sprint lg g flex 2 , for 3 days now....and I've been using it non stop. I was expecting a smooth beautiful phone...with the Qualcomm 810 but I can't even listen to Spotify and surf chrome without extreme lag, or an app closing out. The lag will come and go....and its actully lagging as i write this....i have nothing open.....I think its mostly a ram problem...and I'm so confused because they say the g flex 32 GB variants have 3 gbs of ram....mine is 32gbs....but I have 2....anyway...I've attached a video for proof of the lag...I've updated everything and everysthinga stock with about 20 apps installed....this is very frustrating because I didn't even have this much lag coming from my g2 and that's 2 years older..so I would love it if someone could get me some sort of help!

Lol definitely not chrome, it's my phone.... It could be a combination of Spotify, and Skype, and Spotify would is shut off it's mostly a ram problem

It's probably memory leaks. I changed my thermal throttling and I still have that happening. It's a known issue in 5.0. We will probably have to wait until we get 5.1 to see real relief. Often I am forced to restart my phone because it wont respond because it seemingly can't load anything else into RAM.

I'm pretty sure this is a ram issue. I've never experienced that with my 3gb model. Although the lag you're experiencing is what I had with my S4 with android 5.0 and it all got fixed when I upgraded to 5.1.

Unfortunately it looks like the best method requires Xposed which we can't install right now. You could try an app that will kill apps that are using a lot of memory. I don't have any recommendations though since I'm not currently using one but may end up trying it out soon since I'm getting tired of restarting my phone.

Hardly, it makes it useable though... Also the thing about xsposed, how come we can't use it, I know there is a beta for a lollipop? PS..... regardless I can't root because I'm on a lease with Sprint, can't risk, loosing the warranty ?

Currently there isn't a way to install the framework without an unlocked bootloader. It's possible that could change at some point but for now it's not possible.

I was fine on my g2 installing xsposed on 5.0, but I did have an unlocked bootloader, I know there's a root method for the Flex 2, but I guess there's no boot unlock?

On my S4 with 5.0 it helped to run the app Greenify with root access. I would have it hibernate apps I didn't want to have taking resources in the background. Made a big difference for me. Even without the xposed features it helped a lot.

Nvidia shield tablet Power options help

Heya!
So i just got this Nvidia tablet with blisspop/lollipop or whatever it's called already installed.
Now i've been trying to read through some of the threads on this page but it honestly feels like im reading a different language.
I've noticed the Nvidia power options is gone from the tablet and since im lagging pretty bad often when playing games although not all the time, i'd like to fix this.
I thought the best option would be to increase my cpu usage, do you guys have any guides or tips for me on how i could do that?
Thanks in advance!

honestly, the kernel included in blisspop is plagued with odd behavior.. hangs, audio skips, and weird lag that comes and goes without reason...
some say it works fine for them, but myself and many others have had this issue... so, that is probably your problem.

I understand, is there anything i can install which works better? or am i stuck with the current "kernel" as it's called?
Sorry, i'm not familiar with the contents of blisspop and such.

you can try the official firmware, but if you bought the tablet with blisspop installed on it already... it is probably killswitched... so you need to follow the instructions here or risk breaking your tablet for good.

One last question; if i just use it regularly as i've been doing, will it actually just not work after some time?
Edit: i checked my serial number and it said "Next OTA: ST - yy (urgent)" so im guessing it's killswitched

I assumed the Killswitch is something that deactivates my tablet if i dont do anything to fix it, hence why i asked if it wouldn't work after a while if i didn't do anything about it.
I'll try to follow what the thread says. Thanks for the replies!

the killswitch could kill your tablet the instant it connects to the internet.
make sure you remove it BEFORE you do and you won't have any issues from that point on with anything.

Tried Kingroot, it didn't work.
By the way, the more people run Kingroot from an Xperia XA, the more they'll try to find a root strategy (it says so on the app, and they're obviously keeping track, so far 114 have tried from the Xperia F3116).

If the x range uses drm-verity which I think all late 2015 onwards Xperia devices onwards do now then it'll be like the z5 range root on unlocked Bootloader only I think. If this is the only way to get root if it'll be even possible on the xa and other x devices looks like I'm going back to stock when i get mine, my M2 is rooted and heavily modified always has been but I refuse to use kingroot.

Kingroot can be removed and replaced by SuperSU you know, after rooting. At least that's what I did on Xperia Z3 Compact. I never left stock by the way, and kept bootloader intact. Now it remains to be seen if Kingroot or anyone will ever be able to root the XA safely at all.

Yes it is according to some the wifi bug has been fixed some are getting 4hrs sot time with ease Bluetooth may have the same problem according to some also depends on how the device is set up try doing either a factory reset or software repair via Sony pcc you need to start with the latest firmware on a totally clean install. Root is probably gonna be a while as someone needs to build kernel+recovery if drm-verity is in use it'll be unlocked Bootloader root only x range not supported by kingroot either for now

Have you even tried any of the above and gave it time to settle down and go through a few cycles. Try posting on the xa Sony support forum the problems/bugs in the thread they have going on, they were quick enough to fix the wifi bug and the more people that report back there with the problems the faster they'll get it sorted.

Sorry but plenty of people are far too quick to just come on here like we all know the answers to everything and thinking they know better you'd be surprised how many people will swear they have tried everything, I know from personal experience that a factory reset and or a software repair/ftf flash via flashtool wiping the phone can do, most people try and do it without totally wiping the data it can also take upto a week for a device to settle down after updates ect. Sony know about the major bugs and are working on fixes that I know and sony are better than most other oem's regarding updates and device su, root will take a little while I think it is just to new yet try getting other x/xa owners emailing kingroot support for device support not that I'd use it myself, i hope I can help move things on a bit when I get mine next week

On the plus side it's supposedly really easy to unlock the bootloader (it's a setting in the developer options)

No that only makes it possible to unlock the bootloader you still have to do it manually after that. Should not be that much work though.

Bluboo Dual | ROOT

Hi Xda,
i got myself a bluboo dual, ok phone for the price ill say, but well im a bit annoyed to see that there is nothing on how to root it yet, anyone have information on which twrp i could use on it ? for information the device is on mtk6737T.
Kind regards

Me too still waiting

Hey, I have one as well and seem to be in the same situation as you. In Kingroot you can send a request to for them to work on a rooting process within the app. I suggest you download Kingroot so you can add yourself to the list of people who requested!
On YouTube there is a video called "How to ROOT Any Android Device Without A Computer |One Touch Root (2016)" by user The Android Guy that shows you how to get that installed on your phone.
Have you had an issue with the weather app installed on the phone giving you ads? I've run many anti malware apps and it says that it is a malware as well.. I guess we have to thank Blueboo for that.. Anyways, I hope that there is a solution soon because I think once I am able to uninstall that app the phone will be working the way I want it to.
All the best,

About the weather app, you only have to disable it and the app ad will be gone forever. It's a good phone, a shame that it got not much community support But bluboo have done a good work with the updates.
