Slow Samsung Tablet 4- should i root? - Galaxy Tab 4 General

Hi all,
I have a slow Samsung Tablet 4 (SM-T230NU) and after following all the basic troubleshooting to make it go faster (disable animations, clear cahce, factory reset) there was one step i didnt try. Should i try this:
"root your phone , install cpu kernel adiutor (root) app , and safely bring back cpu to original speed" ??
Is it the OS on the tablet that sucks and install a newer andriod OS? Should i install iOS on it?

are u on android 4 or 5?

Hi there, I don't think your file is correct because nothing happens after flash. I am sure I've d/l the full file correctly.
i have flashed the file over cm11 armv6 and its working did you wipe?

Yes, I do wipe and make a clean flash from scratch. My phone is HTC one X with CM11 ROM.
but i say no need for wipe
open your app drawer if you found the mentioned apps that means installed successfuly

Sorry, maybe I didn't make it clear. what I was doing is fully wipe and flash CM11 ROM for HTC one X from scratch, and afte rall my google apps abd data is download back to normal from server, and then I flash your mod WITHOUT WIPE. But I don't see any app or other mod inside the system after reboot. I check it with root explorer. So I think I do follow your step, right ? Do you ever try to clean-wipe flash from scratch and then flash your mod ?
i checked it again and it works without aby problems on a clean install

Check if you had system partition mounted when you were installing the package, if there weren't any files installed thetn this might be the problem.
@shiftyHungary did it work for you
Good Luck !!
can any one confirm that it works
Wowza...just beathed alot of extra life into my ZTE Awe. Lolipop launcher and quickboot dont work on my device, but i can live without them. Well done
Quick boot mod only works on official cm11 builds and some other builds like armv6 build but the quick but apk works on any android device
The app just force closes whenever I try to open it. We at the Awe forums on androidforums are running an unofficial build, so it makes sense to me the mod wouldnt work but the app is not as well. Again, I can do without. Everything else, minus the launcher, appears to be working.
Though I can't find any difference when running the "boost" command. What is it supposed to do exactly?
its apically for games
Well again I didn't notice much of a difference with or without running it. Real Racing 3, GTA San Andreas and Modern Combat 4/5 run significantly better than before the mod. I was able to even record some decent game plays on each with Rec Screen Recorder with only about a 10fps drop and minor lag, something I struggled to do initially. All in all, I'll confirm this works and have already spread the word to my fellow Awe users.
Many thanks for your hard work

[Q] Nexus 5 [What After Rooting?]

Hello Friends.
I know what could be done on iphone after jailbreaking using cydia. But from past few days I have been using Nexus 5 and decided to root it.
But I'm bit confused, what is next to customize my phone as everyone on internet claims that it gives us full access. Please share some of your knowledge.
You don't have to root to customise .... There are many apps you can install for custom experience eg. Nova launcher that I use is amazing for customising your experience and its a great starting point (but does not need root) but rooting itselfbdoes open the door to deeper more functional features using apps like titanium backup to backup literally every bit of info, app and all associated data ....and other apps like tasker that can enable full automation which allows you to do things like set your phone to unlock automatically when connected to your home wifi ...or silence your phone automatically during work hours etc...
Can install costum ROM .. can install multiple ROM's using multi ROM.
Try closed.. Google it
... Mentioning just a few

After rooting, I like to change the DPI (by making a simple change to the build.prop file). The stock value is 480. I like 422. It fits more on the screen.

technically, you don't need to be rooted to run a custom ROM (or a custom recovery). You just need an unlocked bootloader for that.
There are a lot of things you can do after rooting. I have the following installed: AdAway to block advertisements, xposed to customize my rom and apps, IOS Emoji here is a flashable zip I made: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9UOVv2yynmYeUVWY0tJNGtBanM/edit?usp=docslist_api, install MultiRom to try out different custom ROMs.
Hope you like it.

[Q] S3 issues for simpleton! adblock?, stay rooted?

hi there.
having only had a skim through a few of the samsung s3 developer pages i realise in severely out of my depth here, so please take it easy with me
i have just bought a samsung galaxy s3 and it has been rooted. neatrom v8.2, android 4.3.
i went for the rooted option because i was led to believe that it would then be possible to use something like adblock or ublock [popup blocker] as i use on my laptop. i watch football on a streaming site so adblock [of some kind] is kind of essential.
it came with an adblock app installed but it didnt do the job, and i have since tried a couple of others and neither seemed satisfactory.
so what i need to know is;
1, is it possible to get an adblock type of app [google play store] that will do the job required.
if its not going to be possible to use an ablock popup blocker then will i really need or be able to utilize the functions of the rooted phone. should i just go back to a standard install.
so, my next question is;
2, if i wanted to go back to the original OS is this just a straightforward factory reset, as in accounts>backup and reset>factory data reset>
any help is greatly appreciated.

Google play has stopped support for all adblockers as most the the available (free) apps are advertising based Install FDROID (market) on your phone and then install "AdAway" using FDROID.
You should avoid a gactory reset when you're running a custom rom and not familiar with flashing your phone.
For get it back to stock you can download the original Samsung firmware from SamMobile
If you like to use stock Samsung OS, you can also root it easily.

many thanks... :good:
i have just installed fdroid, then from there installed adaway, opened and updated it, so running. i will check it out on a streaming site and see if it does what it says on the tin.
if it works fine then maybe the root will stay.
if not, then what is the issue with going for the factory reset. will it melt the phone?
im a little confused with the last bit, please type sloowwwweeerrr
i can get the samsung firmware [is that the operating system] from sam mobile [as in your link].
are you then saying you can then root the phone to use the samsung firmware, but it will still use fdroid and adaway.
this would have to be super basic for me to even attempt it...

You can install the stock Samsung firmware, root the device and install any apps you like. Adblocker for android are doing best with in app advertising. Most websites are spam free, too. If you need a really ad free browser you can try Firefox as it supports plugins and you can install the good old "AdBlockPlus" just like its used in your computer browser.
BTW
If you factory reset a custom rom, you wil probably just have the rom itself, not even google services or play store. As for a custom setup you "pick" all the parts you need/want and install it together using a custom recovery.

its not really the browser or apps that im so worried about blocking ads from, its when im watching football on a streaming site, the amount of popups for gambling an sexy lady that also try to inflict virus warfare onto you is just unreal.
i will see if the adaway will do its job. if not then maybe i need to consider other options.
thanks again. im sure i will be back for some more parental guidance :highfive:
i now have found out that every time i turn off the phone the message centre number restores to default [not my network] so unless i re-enter the number every time i turn on im unable to send a text message.
o2 are unable to fix it because it seems the root has control of the default functions and settings.

It is not possible to install an app that requires a higer Android version. If you have Android 5.x.x installing apps with a minimum SDK version for Android 4.x.x there should be no problem. I can't tell why you can't install the app from the info you've given me, but you should change your default install folder to internal SD (in settings). That's at least what fixed the problem for me.

Galaxy tab 2 very slow on linageos13 but no cpu usage

Hi guys i recently flashed my galaxy tab 2 from android 4.0.2 to android 6.0 under lineageos13 it work well but chrome and default brother is very slow page take age to display and video work bad like on youtube website.
I have installed os monitor to spy cpu and memory but cpu usage is low ! never above 20% mem usage is only 230mo of cache and 100 mo free on 1 gb so why the tab is so slow ????
can you help me to find the issue ???
@drepou38
Which S2?
Loads of different ones.
Was Android 6 latest stock?
Which TWRP?
Don't use chrome or built-in browser but Brave and Vivaldi.

the exact s2 model is GT-P5110 flashed with twrp espresso-common_TWRP_3.3.0-2.tar ( tab was a litle unstable after twrp setup and original FW 4 )
firmware is now 13.0-20180130-2022-UNOFFICIAL-espressowifi kernel 3.0.101-g2450ea4 android 6.0.1 I read that Android version after 6 is getting slower and slower on this tab did you recommend a better rom ?
is used this process : https://www.phonandroid.com/forum/threads/6-0-x-lineageos-13-p5100-p5110.167046/
but not setup gapp because i get an error "memory is full"
I had to update it because on the stock version of Android 4, no website was working, this "certificate error" is due to the implementation of SSL. this tab has no "official" rom after android 4

Unstability shouldn't result from flashing TWRP as it's not needed for running the OS.

As I neither own nor know this device I don't know how much memory it should have but I strongly doubt it has that few.
As I don't understand that much french from phonandroid may I ask you if you installed ROM after not only wiping in TWRP but doing "format Data" as well?
which Gapps btw did you try?
I always use the minimum possible like Opengapps "pico" or bitgapps "core"

You forget to wipe system!
And don't use gapps on prehistoric tab it will lag as h3ll (read unusable).
Instead use f-droid! And start learning to live without google spyware, adware, data mining, etc.

Do you have gapps? It won't lag if you don't. Or try a different browser. Via or Lightning for example
