Are you happy using the Fire HD 10 without rooting it? - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General

So I caved and I booted up my internet communications and connectivity network desktop machine and hit Amazon. After days of weighing my options I decided on getting the Fire HD 10. I bought a Fire Hd 8 for my mom for Christmas and she loves it and with the HD 10 having slightly better specs and the ability to root I decided to buy it, the Canadian version. I figure with the Amazon branding support and updates would be more frequent than if I opted for a no-name tablet with "better" specs.
Also, I have poor vision and wanted more screen real estate. I have a Tab S 8.4 but battery life isn't great on it. So is the Fire HD 10 gonna be much of an upgrade from that?
Also my original question, are many of you just happy with leaving it alone? I mean after installing Google Play of course.

By and large, yes. Having said that, I've changed the setting to minimize advertising. I've also added the Hacker's Keyboard because the Fire keyboard totally suxs!

As far as I know my tablet won't have ads. It's the Canadian version. And yea, will be using Swiftkey keyboard likely. Is the Hacker's keyboard in the store?
Checked. It is.

I had a TabPro 8.4, which is similar to Tab S but with an LCD screen, before buying the Fire HD 10.
The Fire HD 10 is not really an upgrade as compared to the Samsung, it has a lower quality display, cheaper build (reflective screen, for example) and is quite a lot thicker. However, there are some areas where it's better - mainly much better battery life and performance (providing you debloat it using the methods detailed on these forums). You have to remember that the Fire HD is a third of the price to the Tab S3 in the 10'' size, and it's great value for money in that respect. I've been really pleased with mine.
I haven't rooted my tablet because in the past on rooted devices, I've had trouble with apps such as Netflix. I did try installing google services, but in my experience it made performance worse and the tablet got warmer, so I went back to having a clean, google free and bloat free setup. I do miss a few google apps, but I use YouTube Vanced for YouTube and Kiwi Browser as my main browser, both of which are better than the Google equivalents anyway.
I would consider rooting if I knew it wouldn't break the likes of Netflix, Prime Video and BBC iPlayer, if only to use apps such as Adaway and Afwall.

Using the HD8 here. 2017 model for my wife, and 2018 model for me. Bought them all without ads to begin with so that was never an issue.
Got the Google Play Store and using the LauncherHijack so I can run the Nova Launcher and widgets on my Fire.
No rooting necessary with all that. Of course, at first there was no root, but even with the ability now, I have no desire to go there.

I would say I liked my fire 10 2017 without root but I love it with root. Rooting and debloating is like a night and day difference in terms of performance. No delay when I hit the home button and actual multitasking!

Is yours the Canadian version? I may end up rooting, I always do in the end. LOL

No. It's not the ADs that made it slow. It's all the applications on it (that I wasn't using) taking up ram. Before debloating I would sit from 150M to 200M ram free. Now I can see up to 900M sometime

I have a Fire HD 10 that is NOT rooted and I'm delighted with the performance and capabilities. Here are the things that I've done to it to improvement the experience...
Install Google Services (including the Play Store)
Using adb I did a "pm hide" to disable lockscreen ads and "pm hide" some of the internal apps to debloat it without needing to root it.
Installed Google Home to activate casting to a chromecast.
Installed GBoard keyboard.
Remove the lockscreen ads without root:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/a-t3820744
"Hide" Amazon apps to "debloat" it without needing root:
(this thread will list the options to hide)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/adb-shell-pm-hide-bloat-amazon-t3221466
Technically, the Amazon apps are still installed so in the strictest sense it isn't debloating it, but the results are comparable... those apps that have been hidden aren't running in the background and are only taking up space..
Using this approach, no need to root, and it is a simple matter of resetting the device to bring it back to factory.

Similar experience with a 2018 HD 8. I have made a few additional tweeks including replacing the stock launcher w/Nova. I own numerous other Android gizmos that are unlocked, rooted and/or running a custom ROM. Control is nice but there's an ongoing maintenance component (varies by device) and the headache of apps that detect root. Overall rather happy the HD 8 as-is ... but I do have other choices.

I ended up installing the Play Store so I could use my beloved Swiftkey.

I also have the Canadian version with hands free Alexa. Is that normal? As mention earlier tho my email is connected to my US and my Canadian Amazon accounts. Maybe you were able to do this when Amazon first opened.

Canadian vs US vs UK is irrelevant w.r.t. Alexa.

No, I am not happy without root. I would like to backup the entire system with apps on my own so that if something happens I can reinstall. Of course wtih root , I would also like TWRP. I would like to find out how to do this without changing my current HD 10 (2017). I am not looking to root to make changes in the current OS. Anyone know if this can be done?

Android Tablet-Compatible Apps

Hey everyone! I am interested in making a list of Android Tablet-Compatible Apps. Could you do me a favor and list the ones that you use that are compatible with your tablets? I'd really appreciate it!

What do you mean "Tablet-Compatible"? If you just mean apps that run ok on the Tab in fullscreen mode, then that's going to be a BIG list as the majority of things work fine.

I think he means apps optomized for the tablet form factor and size; apps like pulse. This is as opposed to apps that simply scale well like the Kindle app which works fine and scales fine but the whole applications i still the same exact app that is the one being used on 3-4 inch phones. compare the regular kindle app to the iPad version of the kindle app and you'll see the difference between something that works well on a tablet and something designed to be used on a tablet
That's exactly what I mean, is optimized to run on the Tablets as compared to optimized for a 3-4 inch phone.

Yes and you see it also when you look at the apps Samsung created like for example the email app and the calendar app. If you change to landscape mode you get a split window view which is really nice on a tablet.
I'm an app developer myself and right now I'm hesitating if I should write apps for tablets. I think there can be a lot done in this respect. The dilemma is that Google announced specific development support for tablet apps in honeycomb. This creates the question if one should develop for the tablet right now and do a lot! of extra work or postpone it until Google releases a programming framework that makes it a lot easier to create ui's on tablets. Though question.

See my response above. It is really a question if we are going to see tablet specific apps on short term
It is, probably tough, to decide to have to potentially do things twice, but I'd expect that if you think you can pull it off to ship even a month before others get their apps coded with new APIs and such, there'd be a tremendous advantage to building up first mover and the app to be measured against.

I am personally thinking that with the boom of android tablets that is about to happen and the release of honeycomb that is bound to follow, that people who get in on the train early can reap some serious benefits...
But, to each his own I guess. I will keep looking!

HELP! Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet?

Hello,
My cousin is visiting the states which means it's perfect timing for me to ask for a cheap tablet.
As usual it comes down to NT vs KF. Which device is more compatible with sideloaded android apps?
i think its the nook.. but im unsure..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1OubHD3y6Y
neither... go get an Asus Transformer or something similar... you have more flexibility to do what you want with apps. The Nook only has like 1 GB for "personal user" space and the Kindle allows some side load stuff, but if you have to root you can say goodbye to Amazon video. At least that's what I rememeber reading lately.

When you say "sideloaded" apps, I take that to mean you are not planning on rooting the device. If that's the case you almost have to go to the Nook Color because of it's SD card slot where you can add media at will. The biggest weakness of the NC is the lack of a microphone, but it's the best 7 (meaning very handy and portable) tablet around (IMO). If you can go larger, then the Asus Transformer is the best - although quite a bit more money as well.
My personal taste for a small, knock-around, tablet is the Nook Color, rooted and overclocked and install apps like Netflix and it's a terrific tablet. You could do the same with the Kindle Fire but you would be lacking that SD card slot.
Either one would be a neat device. Used you can find Nook Colors on ebay for around 150.

[Q] Scrolling Lag

Hi,
I bought yesterday my galaxy s6. Everything was going fine, the new touchwiz looks really beaultifull, the screen was the best display I ever seen, the fingerprint sensor works great, etc.
Nevertheless, i noticed a stuttering/scrolling lag in almost every app. For example: scrolling up and down on whatsapp chats stutters every time. It is not smooth as my old iphone 5. On instagram, facebook, contacts, playstore, occurs the same problem... they are not heavy apps, I can not really understand why it is happening. It is bothering me and I will come back to apple if this problems persists.
Anyone have an idea about how to make it work perfectly as a gadget called "the next big thing" and that costs US$ 800 should?
I'm thinking in try to root and install a debloated room, but I will probably lost my warratie if I do this
Hey so while playing with some settings to try and prevent my apps from being killed so aggressively, I noticed that by limiting the amount of background process you can limit the amount of stutter. I have it set to "at most 4 processes" and I've noticed a vast improvement in the stuttering in apps. Just enable developer options and scroll all the way to the bottom and it should be there. Hope that helps!

1.Turn off power saving mode it causes glitches
2. Iphones have smoother scrolls than android becoz of optimisation of ui
Sent from my SM-G920I using XDA Free mobile app
in general, iphones are smoother in 3rd party apps, because of the optimization, and in facebook if you give it a couple of seconds to make it load everything then it wont lag or stutter, in twitter it does stutter......in contacts app there is no lag at all.....i am using the phone for about two and a half weeks.....
Hi everyone! I tried all the solutions that you mentioned... yesterday I tried many configurations and I realized that the main cause for the scrolling lag seems to be the google apps... I reset the phone 3 times and in my last try I installed whatsapp, configurated my e-mails, instagram and facebook was ok. But when I installed the play store, everything start to have lag/stutter.
Does anyone also noticed this?
It is important to mention that, even when the system was "good", when I was scrolling, I realized a slight stutter. It is really hard to accept that android will never be smooth as iOS. This galaxy s6 has a much much better specifications than apple's phone costs the same price.

I tried to find a solution via xda and other forums and didn't the solution. I understood that this stutter is caused by the UI of Android, which loads the information different from in iOS. However, I didn't find any solution as you mentioned. Could you please post the link?

You should stop comparing android and ios, what ios does is loads everything first then displays and android does both at the same time, ios has too much optimisation to solve each and every smallest issue and they have enough time too as they have only 2 devices a year , though when you get a highly functional and customizable UI like android some stutter is understood in fact we users dont even notice it. Both ios and android are made differently they funtion differently and are made to please different types of customers android focuses more on funtions and features which are at much higher level than ios! Let me give you an example , even if you buy one of the best laptops you will still find stutter because the UI is too complex to work smoothly on the level of ios! If you know a little about coding you would have an idea that smaller the code smoother the program is and thats what ios does plus it has optimisation. My advice would be you would get used to it just ignore it and you will stop even noticing it plus you wpuld admire theore functional andrpid UI!

And they scroll much slower / more limited. Try to scroll through a long list or webpage with just one or two swipes - it's almost impossible on iOS because there seems to be a hard limit how far you can go with one swipe. This can be really annoying in daily usage if you want to get to the bottom of something, but also means that it has to load less content at once which makes it look smoother.

So the android will never be smooth as iOS? It's really hard to understand the reason. For example, windows phones is smooth as iOS and was made to work with several hardwares.
There is any way or app that could help the scrolling by slowing down as you told?

See stutter is only seen in 3rd party apps which are made by other developers and not google ,you wont see them in preloaded apps,so it would be wrong to blame android for that and there is no connection to hardware, windows again is less complicated than android and hence better smoothness so the best would be ignore it you wont even notice after a few days !

I'll never stop comparing android with ios.
My old galaxy s4 (FlexOs rom) was as smooth as my girlfriends iphone 5, and faster opening apps.
unfortunately wifi and bluetooth stopped working after 2 years
So, what I did?
I bought the new galaxy s6 hopping it was smoother than galaxy s4.
Everything is really faster. But scrolling is driving me crazy.
I Don't care if both ios and android are made differently and function differently and are made to please different types of customers.
I could scroll with s4 and I can't anymore with s6.
Its not true that Android never became smooth as IOS.
I switched from Nexus 5 to S6 and its a Samsung Problem. My Nexus 5 ist smooth all the Time! On Play Store and Facebook.... I compared with Iphone 6 and its really Smooth. Xperia z3 ist near on Nexus 5 smoothnes. Try it by yourself you will see.
Maybe Samsung have to ask Sony how to make the you UI smooth as Xperia UI in my Opinion.
Totally agree, it's Samsung causing the stutter.
My girlfriend has Xperia Z3 Compact and it runs smooth.
S6 stutters a great deal compared to her Z3 and especially my Nexus 5.
I still use the Nexus 5 although the S6 has a better camera, display and sound.
Stock android fully optimized for S6 (option to use Samsung camera app) is what I'm looking for, any tips?

What new android phone should I get?

Hi,
I'm using since many years a LG Optimus 4X HD rooted but with the stock Rom,
I did not find any custom ROM that would be half way up to date and would run well on it.
Now there is kind of a security SNAFU the Stagefright bug (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagefright_(bug)) that king of makes continuing the use of the phone a No Go that is unless some one points me to a reliably working ROM that would have that bug fixed....
Anyways What new phone should I get to ensure I will not find my self in a similar situation for at least 5+ years using that phone. That means a long therm community support must be to be expected.
Yes I know thats a long time, but for me any non x86 device is just a toy that does not have to do much:
1. Navigation (Navigon)
2. VPN
3. RDP, VNC, ssh client
4. taking pictures
5. playing mp3
6. surfing the web
What I would else require would be a micro-SD card slot.
Now what sounds really well is the http://shop.fairphone.com/fairphone2.html but lets be honest for 530€ I can buy 3 to 4 reasonably cheep smartphoens each time with an up to date android on it. So the price is simply to high.
I would say that a reasonable price for me would be around 300€
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

I give up

I've been trying to root my Kindle Fire without success for several days as well as my Galaxy 4 tablet, and it is just too much to deal with for a couple of tablets.
However, I've decided I do want a rooted tablet, something without all the bloatware and that isn't tracking every search I do or order I make to Amazon, or even an email I send to my doctor for all I know. So I 'm asking for help deciding what to buy, as you guys all know way more than I do about this stuff.
What is the best tablet to own if you want a rooted device? I'll be using it for gaming (Clash of Clans, nothing to graphic intensive) and the standard things like watching YouTube videos or maybe a movie on Netflix.
I kneel before the great android sages and ask for your guidance. What tablet would you buy if you wanted a quality device that was easy to root?
Thank you!
