hey guys..this is my first rooting (and android) and I basically have no idea what I'm doing. It seems that most of these guys are for installing custom roms on android 9...? I'm trying to install lineage in order to have more control over my privacy... but I really don't want to brick/risk bricking or rendering the phone unusable. Again, I have no idea what I'm doing and have only just read a beginners guide on rooting. Please reply with relevant guides/tutorials and let me know if I should even be attempting this! Phone is still under a 30 day return policy also.

Hello everyone,
this is my first post in this forum, so i'm excusing in advance if this is the wrong place for this post.
I have a samsung tab sm-t110 which is very slow on every action. I try to format it, but I see no improvement. I then look around to know a little about root and roms.
I read several thread in this forum and i have some question.
1) I'd like to speed up my tablet and remove unnecessary apps, do I just need to root it? If yes, can you confirm is this thread the one I need to follow carefully?
2) What action do you suggest to do after?
3) If you think it would be better use a rom, which one do you suggest?
Sorry if my questions are silly, I'm new and wish to know better this world before starting manipulating my devices
And thanks to whoever will spent his time answering
As far your device, you should first root it . And thn use 3rd party soft wares to delete the unnecessary apps. This will help a lot and you can also download Lineage for your device .
I root the device successfully
Thanks for the clean and easy-to-follow guide (can't write in the thread, it's closed)
For now I'll try using the rooted device with some app.
Really last question for now, what would be the best ROM? The Lineage OS that seems will be out for the end of July?
Its cynogenmod

What version? I've looked through v12.1 to 14 and neither seems to have the T110 listed as compatible
Whats up Guys its been while since I last posted and used my Nexus.
I Iam now using it for Uber eats all day.
I have seen there is several roms running 8.1 Oreo. I wanted to know what would everyone say is the best one that would feel and perform as fast as my Galaxy 8 running 8.0 Oreo.
I am Currently not rooted yet on the Nexus 7 so I know you will tell me to get Team win recovery and root first.
Also its been years since I have rooted lol with team win.
I just want the Tablet to feel extremely fast and be able to customize it as much as the rom lets me. I wanted your opinon on how much faster and snapier it will be after 8.1 Oreo. I really could not tell how fast my S8 was running until I started using the Nexus 7 again for comparison lol.
One thing I want to add as well is there way to make a complete backup of my entire device before unlocking the bootloader as in this video I found he says you have copy all filed on your computer.
Is there not a way to backup or complete a Mirror back up before unlocking and installing the boot loader again sorry guys I have not done a root in years so forgot the entire process from what I remember there was always a way to create a entire mirror backup before rooting or installing the boot loader.
Is there any other way to do this is faster way or more efficient proof since this video was filmed in 2013. So any way to root without factory resetting?
Here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k4rCaMPSQ8
I did find this as well from wug fresh one click rooot with twrp but still how would I make mirror save of my entire device before I root and install the recovery?

Thanks guys
Hello guys not one answer yet? Please anyone that help me with tjhis it would be apreciated.

Can't guarantee best/fastest but I have been having good luck with the UNOFFICIAL lineage builds at that link. They aren't necessarily 100% bug free but work very well for my usage (mostly browser, a few apps).
I used wugs unlock way back when and assume it would still work. I don't believe he still keeps it up so you may want to verify or check with other options.
This thread has way more than you will want about the rom and related issues;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ne...ment/rom-lineageos-15-0-nexus-7-2013-t3673103
A few key things to pay attention to:
- Find the updated twrp(s)
- Read about repartitioning so that system is large enough for the ever-expanding gapps
- most use magisk for root now rather than su
All I can think of right now. I'm far from expert. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in
Thanks man I just read your message now. I do have a question what about the oreo version?
I also have my asus prime running kitkat and it is just slow laggy and buggy as hell it not running like a smooth tablet at all. On the prime I have it rooted with team win 3.0.0
I just want both to be running as fast as my galaxy S8 or as close to it as possible. It seems crazy that Prime feels so slow in comparison when it has quad core processor.
Link and thread I linked are both Oreo
This is an unofficial oreo rom
For starters, I am new to android. I have used an android for 5 years, but I have yet to tinker with it extensively. I have a lot of experience with Linux and command-line tools though, so my knowledge level is whatever transfers over from that.
I am getting a new phone, and I want to keep my s9 to do cybersecurity work on, particularly running kali nethunter (https://www.kali.org/docs/nethunter). As I am aware, for the version I will be running (lite), I just need TWRP (docs say root not required, but I thought installing custom recovery required root).
I read a bunch of threads on here, and it seems that it is indeed possible to root a snapdragon S9, is this still the case? If root really isn't required, how would I install a custom recovery? Would I run into any extreme issues?
Please excuse the ignorance, the information is kind of overwhelming to a newcomer.
Hi ,
Need advice on the best way to upgrade Android version on my new (really new) Pixel 3 XL- still waiting for it.
In the lights of latest news on "EDL Bug" bricking lots of Pixel 3 phones( just search the Internet for last few days ),
I started to doubt if purchasing it was a good idea. So either I return it right away (EBay purchase- 14 days return )
or try to risk it and install Android 10 only and then wait for stable Android 12.... from all of the research it looks like
security update for Android 11 can be the culprit here? Is it possible to jump /omit upgrading to certain versions like jumping
from ver 9 to ver 10 and later straight to ver 12, or does it have to be done in sequence ?
Sorry for a noob question ,,, but until now i was using only IPhone , and now decided to try Pixel devices.
If upgrade HAS to be done in sequence, then risk of Bricking it is too high and I rather return the device , loosing on
shipping only.
Thank you very much,
Lino
Anybody ?....
Please , I will need to make a decision as soon as I receive the new phone!
I am sure that there is a lots of people here, for whom this question is very trivial...
Can I upgrade from Android Pie straight to Android 12, OTA... or should I go in steps..
Thanks. Lino
you can flash the full factory image of android 12 beta, or android 11, whichever you prefer, and google made it easy using the online android flash tool. when using this, you don't need to go in steps whatsoever.

Im running the Scorpian Rom right now. Really do not know whats causing the bricks but im gonna stick to custom roms from here on out.
I'd go with Android 12. Either Beta 4.1, or wait a week or so for the public release. The EDL thing I read is only happening on Android 11, so I think you'll be safe updating to 12.
Ok , thank you all
I think when I receive the phone, I will update OTA to version 10 first , then I wait for official stable version 12
and Sideload it ? Yes? ....Sorry i am totally new to this...
So I have to unlock the bootloader first, do i have to root it ?... like using Majisk ? in order to sideload the stable
version 12 ?
Anybody has a links to good step by step tutorial ? Will appreciate it !
Anyway watching lately lots of you tube videos about unlocking etc,
Will appreciate any general pointers how to go about it, egz. what to do first , second etc.
Thank you, Lino
Hi,
I love my galaxy A70 with one ui 3.1, but i prefer pixel experience or some other aosp roms. Has someone hard bricked his phone by installing a custom rom? This is my main phone, and once I've tried to install lineage os from some 3rd party site, and i have successfully flashed twrp but when i've installed lineage os it was automatically booting into recovery . Can someone tell me, is custom roming a70 good and easy, and recommend me a rom?
i want:
- good look
- good battery life
- good performance
- android 12 maybe
i was looking at pixel experience 12 thread but it's closed and people had problems with it. i've heard that you cant install android 12 roms on galaxy a70. is that true?
sorry for my bad english
what rom do you recommend (calls must work)
It was quite hard to Hard-Bricked this phone if you followed the instruction.
As this is your main phone, I would suggested you to download a offical firmware (as backup in case something goes wrong) and remember to backup all your data. Also read what DOES work and what DOESNT work.
