Good morning everybody,

Im wondering to know wich is the best OTA for shield, im considering rooting and install some emulators.

Ok,, so I'm looking for a tablet and you can now buy this K1 device for £149.
So, I was wondering if this is the one I should go for or, can you please recommend a better one.
I want it for the normal stuff, Netflx, youtube and obviously gaming.
Thanks in advance.
IMO, The Shield Tablet is second to none. Its a true powerhouse and if you want to game, none do it better. I own 4 Shield Tablets. 2 I purchased at $299 and recently 2 more of the K1 versions at $199.
I would happily pay $299 for these so at $199, its a no-brainer.
The only real question is are you satisfied with an 8 inch screen? Some folks want to carry a TV around with them.
Double posted.

Thank you...just got home with it and I'm delighted. Only played with for 10 minutes. Turned it on for the first time and I got the MM update straight away which I'm really happy with. This thing is as smooth to use as my partners iPad air which I wasn't expecting.*
Can I ask you one last thing? I just signed up to the 3 months free game streaming service, do I need a controller to play them games or can you just use the tablet ?
Thanks again.

Best tablet
I have never been so impressed with a device. The thing that really got me is the geo force streaming unbelievable! I would tell anyone, and am telling everyone, that they can't go wrong with the shield. What a device!
Hello Everyone. I'm new here but not new to tech in general, I do quite a bit with pcs just haven't got the experience with mobiles yet (why i'm here!) Anyway I have an original nvidia shield tablet (recalled model) and instead of wasting it I intend on turning it into a dedicated gamestream/netflix machine hooked up to an hdtv. As some of you may know nvidia has a killswitch that will deactivate the old tablet after the new one is setup. I believe the best/easiest way to get around this is to root the tablet and install the nvidia 2 .2 .2 firmware (running either 3.01 or 3.1 now I think) and delete the tegraOTA files. I've read that 2.2.2 does not have the killswitch and I need nvidia's firmware so that I can continue to use nvidia gamestream and my shield controller.
As mentioned I'm completely new to rooting, installing ROMs, and deleting system files, so I would appreciate if I could receive some guidance before I blow something up
K1 owner here. Really fed up with the terrible battery life I'm getting and was excited when I found out nvidia released a patch to fix it only to be immediately disappointed when they pulled it the same day. Many people on the Google plus page have recommended I use a custom ROM, and on my former nexus 7 2013 I usually did just that. However I invested in the controller and also like to use my tablet to play battlefront on my TV via nvidia game stream. Would I lose those features if I went to a custom ROM? Is there a " SAPPS" package to flash? Sorry if its been asked, been reading through 10 pages of custom ROM threads and can't find any info

Shield Hub (unless I am mistaken) is just another app and can be easily sideloaded. It actually just acts a front end for Google Play.
Regarding the controller I cannot say as I have no experience there.
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.
I mean...there's really no point in buying this if I can't get the Nvidia apps after getting a Custom ROM, so that's my question.
And can I...get the shield apps on another Android device? Although tbh, I want a Shield, just not sure.

Yes you can get the Nvidia Games app (the most important one) and Nvidia Dabbler from Play Store, and all custom roms come with the console mode app. Not sure if there are any other apps from Nvidia (haven't been on stock since I bought the tab) but this should cover basic functionality
