I'm considering getting this tablet for my wife. tabletrepublic.com/forum/teclast/teclast-p81hd-released-99.html (cant post full link until 8 posts, so u will have to copy paste it)
But before getting it I was curious if anyone has rooted it, and if not which direction should I look to get the device rooted. It runs Android 2.3 and uses a Rockchip RK2918 processor. There is also supposed to be an ICS update coming for tablets running this processor. If I get it rooted and ICS is released will this cause issues in rerooting the device? I'm not a pro but I've rooted several devices, so I can follow the sh*t out of directions. Thanks
My wife's fully stock (4.4.2) N5110 started getting update notifications from Samsung Software Update.
Per the info, it's a 7.61 MB 'device stability and bug fixes' patch that includes security enhancements and StageFright fix.
Is there information on everything installed with this patch?
Will installing this block any future attempts at root / installing a custom ROM? (If she ever lets me; this is solely her device and doesn't care about root/ROMs )
Since this is a wifi only note8 - how vulnerable is it to stagefright if I don't patch? Everything I've read says 'stagefright is more than an MMS vulnerability' but then the details only go into the MMS vuln :|
Thanks in advance and sorry if this has been covered elsewhere - I searched and didn't find anything.
I noticed the update today and decided to install it. It did not take very long to install and the Android version number is still 4.2.2, so it doesn't seem that there is anything major. I have yet to notice any changes, but I haven't used my tablet much today I should note that I am also using the wireless version of the Note 8.0 and I have never rooted this devices.
If I learn anything else I'll post here.
It's too bad that they didn't decide to bump things up to 4.4.4 (could use those Bluetooth fixes that were introduced in 4.4.3) while they were at it.
Anyway, I just noticed that there's a new stock rom posted for the USA variant on Sammobile.com and samsung-updates.com. So this is officially "a thing." Haven't flashed it myself yet and I probably won't; I've moved on to Cyanogenmod 12.1. But it's nice to know that Samsung is still pushing out updates for this thing.

As I mentioned on the headline, I am currently using los 14.1 and my device has vulkan. But unfortunately, games etc still doesnt recognize it.
I want to share screenshots but have to spam some posts for that
This should be the last one
Yes I faced this issue with my previous device too.
The main problem is that app devs and playstore is working with a list of compatible devices. And the Mi5s might be listed as incompatible.
You can try to download the apk and app data but for these apps licence check will fail.
Maybe if our device supports it officially on miui we could get access to these apps.
You know the weirdest thing is, I had vulkan working on a rom (an official one I guess, I'm not sure though), but now I cant manage to use it. I also tried ppsspp which should have vulkan option but, mine doesn't have anything other than opengl
is there a way to maybe make the playstore recognise our device as a different one?
There is a vulkan pack that can be flashed through recovery. That makes the device name note 5 or something. I will try that again now and will report if it works.
Edit: My phone is sm-N930F now but, apps still say unsupported.
Okay more of a weird thing, I can download vainglory now but, galaxy on fire 3 manticore still says unsupported. Tried ppsspp also and there isnt a vulkan option
GOF3 was available before on MIUI, but now it isn't. I guess they made a whitelist.
Yea, I was playing gof3 2 weeks ago on mi5s nad it was compatible. Now it isn't because of developer.
For those of us who have the snapdragon versions, our ROM options are limited. For that reason I`m running stock ONE UI and i must say it`s actually good, i haven`t do any rooting/unlocking procedures yet but as i have searched so far there are some tools available for that.
The question is? IF i set up a custom kernel on my device will it run GSI roms? And if it does, is it worth to run it (performance, features)?
That should be a very straight forward way to get something like LOS16 with root and gcam running
I need help on updating OpenGL and Vulkan drivers. Has anyone tried updating and may I ask how you did it?
