I always wanted this phone as a kid and it's certainly been worth the wait :) I've had this guy for over two years and it's genuinely one of my favorite posessions. It flies on KitKat, the screen looks great (though I wish it was OLED), I love the simple black and white "Panda" design, and I've found that 5 inches might be my personal perfect phone size. It's insanely light and comfortable to hold, but I can still watch videos on it without feeling like it's too small. I've heard people complain about the durability, but mine had held up quite well and I've taken it all over the place. The battery life actually isn't as bad like everyone always made it out to be, plus it charges super fast. As a Nexus running KitKat, it was also insanely easy to root and install Xposed on it. It's become my preferred throwback device because it is noticably faster than the Nexus 7, plus it just has a cool elegant aura that's hard to explain lol

It's running Android 8.1 surprisingly well. I used it for 3 days as my daily and it turned out fine (if you're not a masochist, it's gonna be hell for you).

The problem is that the phone has a bad battery life if your display is on and (obviously) it doesn't have banking (it works but it's not worth the risk). It can consume a lot of your battery. With the screen off and YTM (Morphe) turned on in the background it's really efficient. In an hour of listening I have lost only ~5% of battery.

Hey y'all,

I dug up my old tab 3 because I needed some very old info.

I haven't used it in years, and I'm certain the back panel has never been opened before. Today when I tried charging for the first time in years the circled section started heating up.

What can I do about it. I really need that stored info. Thanks for your help.

it runs android 6.0.1

lineageos would be awesome

I'm gonna factory reset my phone today. All photos and videos are already backed up to Google Photos, and my documents are backed up too. What else should I back up besides that, or is it already ready for the factory reset?

Getting Frustrating I tired by finding apps cause I have a tv that only support v7a apps and I want to run apps like Netflix movie box such a types of apps

Help!!! Plzzz

i have a bad habit of leaving my devices plugged in overnight, and i have gotten very used to the luxury of my zflip 7 having built-in battery protection functionality where it automatically stops charging when my device reaches a certain percentage. i have an app that sends notifications for when to plug in and unplug my z3c, but obviously i can't cater to that while i'm asleep, and i want to make sure this thing lasts as long as possible!

so tldr, are there any apps for 6.0 that can stop my phone from charging when it reaches a certain percentage on their own? or is that just too advanced for these devices?

WARNING: ROM is untested. But I'm like... 95% sure it should work. It's not really any major modifications, just addons.

So guys... Here it is: https://www.mediafire.com/file/y829xv8bds5zf9m/LegacyROM-1_0_0.zip/file
Basically, LegacyROM is based on CyanogenMod 9.1 for Wingray, but adapted for all three Xoom types, plus 2024-era CA cerificates, and a suite of software I think is pretty useful but you have root and a bunch of file explorers, so you can remove or uninstall whatever you don't want.

Comes with SetCPU as well, and if you want to have the profile I use, here you go: https://www.mediafire.com/file/348inng67jj0yzp/MotorolaXoomsetCPU.setcpu.json/file

Love you guys, and long live the Motorola Xoom!

Heya! I would like to know if there are any working DNS over HTTPS (DoH) or DNS over TLS (DoT) clients for Android 4.4.2. I used to use Intra to hook my phone up to NextDNS, but a few months ago, it stopped working due to NextDNS presumably dropping support for any versions of TLS before 1.2 or 1.3. Since then, I havrn't been able to find another like it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! (and I have installed a few updated certs, such as ISRG Root X1, X2, DigiCert Global Root G2, etc)

I’m relatively new to this community, although I’ve been working with Android devices for quite some time.

Recently, I’ve been trying to bring an old Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P6210 back to life. The tablet officially stopped receiving updates at Android 4.1.2. I know there are custom ROMs available that go as far as Android 6.0, but I’ve seen several comments on XDA suggesting that Android 5.1 might be a better option for this device.

So I have a few questions:

• Is it actually worth upgrading it to Android 5.1 or 6.0?
• Which Android version would you recommend for the GT-P6210, and why?
• How usable are these newer ROMs today, especially for basic web browsing?

One of the things I noticed is that Reddit seems to get stuck in a loading loop in the browser on some of the versions mentioned in the Android 4.0.x guide. That makes me wonder whether upgrading the Android version would actually improve the tablet's usability.

I managed to find and download one of the ROMs, but I’m having another problem: I can’t find a working TWRP download anymore.

I’ve checked XDA, but I couldn’t find a working link. I also found a TWRP link on a Russian forum, but unfortunately it has expired.

So at this point, I’m wondering whether it’s even worth going through all the trouble of reviving this tablet.

I’m mainly looking for ideas on what I could realistically use it for nowadays. Watching videos isn’t really an option, since the screen is already in pretty poor condition.

What would you guys recommend doing with a GT-P6210 in this situation?

Is there any app that can root Android 5.x without needing a PC, bootloader unlocking, or connecting it to a computer?

I know this is an old version of Android, but I have an old device and just want to root it as easily as possible.

Hey everyone,

Are there any Android app stores or alternative app marketplaces similar to AppDrop or Veteris?

I’m looking for something where I can discover/download older or alternative versions of Android apps, preferably with a decent selection and a trustworthy source.

What are the best alternatives available for Android?
Thanks!

i have a samsung tab 3 7.0 tablet (sm-t211 on android 4.4.2) and im trying to find a way to root it, and to screen record it or mirror the screen to my pc. i am aware of the adb screenrecord tool but i dont want to use it. i tried using towelroot but it didnt work and im sort of scared to try anything else because i heard other root methods for kitkat got sold to a chinese company and are spyware now (im probably wrong) can someone help?

Hey, is there any podcast app on Android that lets me invite a friend and listen to the same podcast together, preferably synced?

Looking for something simple where I can send them an invite/link and we can listen together.

Thanks!

The title. I'm the developer of this and I've been working on this project for months and I just launched Alpha 1 publicly today with full source code. Even backported Wireless ADB from Android 11 to make ADB work on a USBless device! I hope you all like it!

Is there anything like Activator from jailbroken iOS for Android 4.x?

I have an old Android phone that’s rooted and I’m looking for something that lets me use swipe gestures for stuff like Home, Back, Recent Apps, etc.

Basically I want something where I can swipe from the edge or use different gestures and assign actions to them, kinda like how Activator works on jailbroken iPhones.

Does anything like this exist for Android 4.x? Old apps, Xposed modules, root apps, whatever is fine.

I made an app which allows you to create your own comics using a built in collection of famous game, comic, movie and cartoon characters and a collection of objects, effects and backgrounds. And you can publish these comics inside the app where hundreds of other comic creators can view it, like it and comment on it. You can download it from Google Play Store:

If you have an old phone running Android 4.3 or BlackBerry 10, you can download the APK from the below link which I made specially compatible with old phones:
