I´m looking to buy either a Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 , or a motorola xoom, and would appreciate any advice or recommendations from owners of either of these.
A few things i do like about the xoom are..
Xoom has micro usb (is this useful ?), and also has SD slot for extra memory (i quite like this), and stock android OS
I´m not so concerned about the weight aspects, its more about flexibility for updates, perhaps custom rom & rooting. and general performance.
if anyone has any recommendations, i´d be very grateful
My only Android experience is with a phone that already reloaded with CyanogenMod other than a G3 for work. The difference between them is very noticeable in terms a bloatware.
I picked up a Tab 3 for one main purpose and that is to use as a universal remote for my HTPC and to run Kodi/XBMC. So needless to say the rest of what the tablet has to offer is useless. What is the best minimalist ROM to flash? I found 6 here and am leaning towards Hassan.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi all
Thanks firstly I've found this site excellent for rooting and flashing my samsung tab2/nexus7 etc 5*
But now I'm stuck and I have a challenge
I have a 10 inch nurvo tablet that is rooted (SuperSU etc)
But I cannot find a custom ROM that will make this thing any good!
Specs::
Model number:nurvo10dcb
Android version:4.2.2
Firmware:2.1_20140213
Kernal:3.4.39+
Build:a20_k1001_k1001L1c_1402051.20140305
I'm trying to get some use from this tab other than a slow inaccurate TV remote(YouTube via Chromecast etc)
Its so bad!(touch drivers are very slow
I really want something more refined like slimkat or just something that works rather than whatever this was designed for (picture frame maybe
Huge thanks and sorry if I've put this in the wrong place.
It would be nice to have the same flexibility my Samsung tab2 with 6.1 and nexus with slimkat

Hello and welcome to xda-assist,
as this is an unpopular device, especially compared with the Samsung tab2, you won't nowhere get equal or only nearly the support of a popular device, that's the hard truth..
If you can't find anything on simple Google search or on the forums
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
there's non and you're bound to xposed & root, just like many other people, long not all devices are supported by development, only a few selected and that's why it is so important to research the device before you buy when you're in to flash & stuff..
Good luck
Hi
I thought it was pushing it with this nurvo and if I had the time to check it out before I bought it I'd have avoided it
I did see some info about someone and custom ROMs but cannot find it.
Its rooted fine (kingo)but without a decent ROM its just junk as its just too slow
Its fine for kids to play with and slowly using as a remote but that's it
Thanks mate
I will keep my ears open just in case but I won't hold my breath: (
Hi y'all!
Just got my shield. Disappointed with performance after ota. Wipe and reset on original rom did not resolve all of the issues.
Not familiar with the xda roms for this device. I want root, functioning camera, nivida game streaming. And lag free!
Free 4 all! What is best?
Share your experiences!
Cheers!
Functionality more important than android version! (at least 4 me).
Nobody knows?
Common community where r ya?
Maybe read the appropiate threads and judge by yourself?
It's not like there's 32 Nougat roms out there anyway
Nvidia apps = stock ROM.
good luck with that one, i haven't been able to find that on any rom for the shield tablet nougat or not. Other than stock based ones like hyperstock(which is what i use on my shield tab). I updated to nougat off of hyperstock mm but restored right back when i couldn't get nethunter to work. there doesn't seem to be very much going on with the shield tablet even with the recent update to nougat which sucks.
Something similar to LineageOS, with minimal bloat and lag. I'm thinking of buying this, but seeing people having issues with performance just from switching apps and rotating orientations, which shouldn't really be happening considering the specs on this thing.
Sorry to not quite answer your question, but as a P11 Plus owner I'd advise against purchasing it.
Software support is atrocious. It should be much smoother with the hardware it has, but feels overall laggy. We're still stuck on A11 and they should only begin to roll A12 soon(TM) now that A13 is already out, and that's probably the end for this device's support. Not even 12L.
There's very little in the way of custom ROMs or I'd already have flashed mine.
I'd pick whatever I could afford from Samsung if I were shopping for a tablet today. Even the A8 seems better.
It's THAT bad? would it really be worse than my 2015 Nvidia Shield K1?
Does the P11 Plus not have any stock roms at all?
Does the A8 have stock roms?
I mean all I want to do on it is watch video files, streaming, basic web browsing, read comics... just absolute bare bones stuff. how bad could it be for that stuff?

It's ok for watching videos and reading comics. I use Mx Player and Tachiyomi.
Browsing is overall sluggish. I tried using a bluetooth mouse to help but it feels laggy. It's just better to browse on whatever smartphone you have.
Flashing custom ROMs is a bad idea if you want to stream anything as you'd lose widevine L1.

If you care about software, it's bad. Not worthless bad, but annoyingly bad.
Video decoding and rendering works well. Network, storage, audio, bluetooth works good.
There's nothing too wrong with it that makes it unusable. It's just slower than it should be for the hardware it has and software is outdated despite being a relatively new device.
Not sure about the situation of roms on the A8. Samsungs are bad for flashing in general. I wouldn't flash it anyway as losing Widevine L1 is a big no on a tablet used for watching videos.
I checked now and it also seems to still be on A11, so it's also bad over there.
Eh, Android tablet landscape looks ugly.
If you want it go for it, but be mindful software support (either official or custom) isn't great, is all.
I wasn't and ended up a bit disappointed.

Uh, there are definitely custom roms with Widevine L1 support
As a p11 plus owner .I think it's a great tablet..does everything I need from it..just received android 12..
Aß a Xiaoxin pad plus owner I can say ZUI Rom (Chinese version) is much more fluent then international rom
If English is just fine for you, then go with that xiaoxin, it's a subbrand of Lenovo. Yes it has playstore. But don't buy the one that has a global rom preinstalled, the are ****ty according to some posts here
Hmm. Lenovo has a 1 month return policy. And there's this tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...mate-app-manager-debloat-tool-tweaks.4147837/
I'll see how it is.
Are there no really no roms for the US Plus version?
