Hej,
I know that ASUS ZenPad 3S 10 is a new tablet but maybe thre is anyone here that have tested it or know more about it?
I have a Samsung Tab S3(813/2016 version) and from what I read there will probably never be any custom roms for this tablet mainly becouse of the CPU. How about the Asus ZenPad 3S? It is more likely that there will be a custom rom for this tablet?
How does these tablets compare more then what the space says?
About the zenpad
I've had my Zenpad 3S for about three weeks now and I'm actually quite pleased with it. It's fast and very responsive. The screen is awesome, with settings to adjust color temp etc. Nice feel with the unibody aluminium chassi, a bit slippery but nowhere near an iPhone. Camera is sub-par of course, the rear does ok in good lighting. Speakers are loud with surprisingly good sound for a tablet, but it's still a tablet... Battery life is excellent, I manage to go by several days with light use and at least 2-2.5 days with normal use like youtube and facebook. I mostly use mine for reading sheet music though. ZenUI is mostly bad. It's loaded with bloatware, some you can uninstall but others you can only disable. Notification tray has stupidly big icons, very clunky and ugly. Settings are pretty extensive but confusing sometimes. For example, instead of putting Home Screen settings in the settings app under Display or even as a standalone option there (There's one for the lock screen), you have to access a different "preferences" menu from the home screen in order to change something like grid size. Wallpaper options on the other hand is located both there and in the normal settings. So there's definitely stuff to improve, but at least they're working on it with pretty frequent updates.
As for rooting, I have no idea. If enough people root for it (pun intended), maybe.
Let me know if you want to know something more specific about it

Hello there!
I have this tablet from few days. I like it a lot, but asus rom really sucks
I can't find any news about custom roms. Do you know something?
The Zenpad 3S 10 finally made it to the US market. Spec wise it's a very attractive unit, especially for the price compared to the Samsung S2's. But I suspect there isn't going to be a lot of love from the XDA dev's due to the MediaTek processor.

What's the problem with the processor?
Quick googling found me a couple of guides on how to root the ASUS Zenpad 3S 10 Z500M. Just the root feature should make it possible to get places in terms of removing bloat.
I'll hold on to my v1 nVidia Shield Tablet for now and wait for further development in ROMs and rooting for the Zenpad S3 10.

I hope I'm wrong. But based on the paucity of discussions about this tablet here on XDA while trying to just general info, likes, dislikes etc. I'm not getting my hopes up. If I do go this route I'm going to purchase it for what it is now.

Those quick google results of rooting Asus Zenpad 3S 10 are fake. I did the same when I got my tablet and those articles seem very generic or want you to use an untrusted app from the KitKat or even Gingerbread days.

Have you had any luck rooting yet or finding additional hacks for the 3S 10? How about a way to keep the backlight on longer for the back and recents buttons?
I also want to root my brand new ZenPad 3s 10 but I can't find any instructional guide that actually works :S
Can somebody help us???
I think it's dead to root this model. It's a pity because this is a great android tablet with the best sound i experimented.
Cool loud dual speaker but especially the great 3.5mm audio quality. The DAC is realy good.
Root for ASUS Zenpad Z500M
Still no root or roms for the zenpad 3s 10??? Bummer. This tablet has great specs all except for the mediatek processor. I'll have to look for another device then...
I'm still hopeful that this device will eventually get root.
It's a really great tablet, even more so because of it's price point.
Yes, the only reason too root this tablet 4 me is to install adaway and any root features of apps.
I hope in future too, it gaves a guide to root these tablet
I got one for Christmas...Still adjusting to the ZenUi after years near vanilla Android on Nexus and Motorola devices.
@radon222 you can download Google now launcher.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher
Google launcher was one of the first things I downloaded. But that still doesn't change the pull down/settings menus.
C'mon is possible that nobody else use this fantastic tablet and find a root? I would like to contact some developers....do you know how to do?
Regarding to this post, kernel source was released in mid of december.
Anything new here? I would love to use lineageos on the Asus.
Lineage would be awesome on this tablet.
Hope a developer start working. It's still fun to take out my old TF300 and flash the latest 7.1.1 ROM.
Developers are great.

Hello everyone,
For like 2 year now I still have iPhone 3G which was very relaxing (but now slow) so when I thought of update I thought about getting Android
So I got the Galaxy S2, It's a great phone with great hardware but I really guys dont know what exactly to tell you or what to say
but I find iPhone way more relaxing than Android and I really can't tell why
maybe the colors maybe the design of the android it self I really dont know
even though a lot of apps are available and everything is customizable but still
something is wrong for me and I dont know what it is, the motion and effects of the iphone are smoother or just better and gives you this great feeling and its not what it is on android
Also the keyboard, even though my screen is 4.3 inches and the keyboard is larger but I find that iPhone's keyboard is better it just feels good
My hope is very high with ICS 4 that Google would take care of UI and UX better than that, also organizing everything to make it easier or something
I know I'm not accurate but I just wanted to tell you guys to tell me what you really think and if its me only or everyone and also if you have a solution for this
Thanks

Iphone uses a very high resolution IPS LCD screen ("retina" is just a fancy marketing word for that), not AMOLED based like the Samsung phones (thus color reproduction will not be the same). If you don't like the default colors, try another theme (system themes require root to change, launcher themes do not).

Try a different launcher. Something like Go Launcher is pretty close the iphone. If that's not enough, try the MIUI ROM (requires root) for your phone if you haven't. MIUI is as close as you will get period to having an iphone while still having an android phone.

Try another keyboard than the one the phone comes with (such a swype or swiftkey)? Generally the stock keyboard sucks.
Most iphone users that just start on android are not aware of the many replacement options (or if they are, they're not aware of specific ones that would solve their issues).
There's a saying that goes something like "If one is given infinite choices, some people will never be happy (since that they will forever think there is something better than what they currently have), but if one is told what choices they have, then they just grin and bear it, because that's all there is."
First thanks for your reply
but I already have Go Launcher and its okay for now
but actually I would like to install MIUI but I have a problem, I dont have a SD Card on my Galaxy S2 its just the internal memory so is there's anyway to install it without SD Card just using the internal memory ?
in both ways I will wait for android 4 I read about it and its really interesting that Google noticed that they have issues with their UI and I hope they solved this issue
I loved my Nexus 5 but my power button was starting to be erratic and I had the US version that was lacking 4G as I live in the UK. Vodafone were selling the G2 at only £150 ($230) on black Friday so I decided to take the plunge.
I was hoping the G2 would be like a Nexus 5 with a bigger battery and better camera but feared the bloat. I’m into my second week of usage now and I’m pleasantly surprised for the following reasons:-
-Getting double the battery, (double standby, double SOT, all with much higher brightness.)
-Some of the bloat is actually useful like Quick Remote and Wireless Storage.
-The UI doesn’t feel that much slower.
-Vibration feels nicer.
A few things I’d wish they would sort out:-
-No recents button, (WTF where they thinking?)
-Some bloat can’t be disabled or uninstalled.
-No ART.
-Firmware has to be updated by Google, then LG, then Vodafone.
I know that many of my wishes would be solved by rooting but I’m unable to find a download for the Vodafone UK 20e firmware. (If i need to go back.)
Has anyone else come from the Nexus 5? Do you regard it an upgrade or downgrade? What are your thoughts? Are you a G2 owner thinking of going the other way?
I created this Thread for discussion and not a, “mine is better than yours,” etc. :angel:
Thanks.

Actually I had the Nexus 5 since the release and then went for a G2. Gotta say its a nice upgrade from Nexus 5 but you will have to be patient for Android updates as LG is being late on firmware updates. Then when the Android L was released, i got impatient and sold the G2 just to get Nexus 5 and use new android version .....but i regret this, I miss the G2 and I'm looking to get one soon.
ps. I watched a leaked video of official Lollipop on G2 and they have added the recent button instead of the Menu button(which i didn't liked it either).
Best regards.
Of course G2 is an upgrade. LoL, OMG, what question....
PS recents buttons will be present on Lollipop official instead of menu button. Well have G3 UI.
Its funny that when choosing a phone after the Nexus 5, I only thought of phones that came out in the Kit Kat era due to not liking Lollipop.
I tried it on the Nexus 5 and it only lasted about a day before I went back to KK. There are too many bugs, too many bad decisions and the memory leak that make Lollipop dreadful as a daily driver. When they sort things out I'd like to use Lollipop but the good thing about the G2 is that I can always go back to KK if I chose. The Nexus 6 for instance doesn't give you this option. :crying:
And yes, overall I do think the G2 is an upgrade. :highfive:
as soon as you root install xposed and then g2 tweakbox and you can unleash its powers
and i wanted to get a n5 but the battery life scares me on that phone

Number 1 and 3 will come when LG pushes Lollipop. We'll get G3 UI and with that comes recents button.
Only question to that is, will KitKat which we have now be better than future and possibly buggy Lollipop.
2 can be fixed by root but I think you already know that
And also, you can flash ROMs with [All Variants] on the thread title. So you can have G3 ROMs now. And yes, they are stable
For the 20E Vodafone firmware go here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/firmware-Lg+G2-Tutti-36.html
Now you are all set. Enjoy!
I've made this move too
G2 over N5
Double or more battery life
More megapixel on câmera
5% more screen
option to have an 'stock' and 'pure' ROM
video 1080p60Hz and 2160p30Hz
32GB (some)
N5 over G2
little bit faster
camera with PkmX/lcamera alow to have full control and much better low light photos
Here in Brazil, N5 is more expensive to resell
For the 20E Vodafone firmware go here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/firmware-Lg+G2-Tutti-36.html
Thanks, thanks and thanks again!
Yea Root is mandatory for the G2 IMO. I've stayed on the stock experience because I really love the perks and features of the LG rom.
I personally use a G3 Rom Port. Works beautifully and has options for changing the nav buttons to include Recent built into the rom.
OR just install Xposed and G2 Tweakbox or G3 Tweakbox (depending on what you are using).
AND CHANGE THE DPI to 400! So much better at 400 (or 380).
The NavBar keys do not require root. Just download the APK and install:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795853
The G3 rom ports DO have ART support... but XPOSED doesn't support ART... so half dozen 6 in the other. Xposed > Art so I stick with DALIK
Thanks for the post. Trying to decide between N5 and G2.

I also had to make that decision I suggest the G2 since its actually in almost every way better and it costs now around the same pruce but you get better hardware and software. If you want the nexus feeling just flash a aosp rom on it.

Thanks. I keep going back and forth. The specs on the G2 do seem superior. I guess I just need to see how hard it is to unlock bootloader and flash roms on G2. I'm pretty comfortable using Fastboot.
Do the buttons on the back of the device bother you? I just don't know anyone with a G2 and I know several with a Nexus 5.

They don't at all. Only issue i have with them is that when my phones on a table, i cant change the volume. Otherwise, they work much better than standard buttons. The first few days are awkward though, specially when you keep pressing the camera lens instead of the power button
I also LOVE the fact that they allow for the amazingly thin bezels. Truly makes this phone look and feel amazing.

Well you can't unlock bootloader yet this isn't only the fault from LG because Providers also want the bootloader to stay locked but we can flash normally roms now using loki/bump so it's not the biggest issue anymore but it will be alot easier if it will get unlocked. Well you could use fastboot but then you need a mod from savoca to acces it like that. I was also used to fastboot on my nexus4 but I will tell you once you have the G2 you wouldn't care much anymore. I was a big flashaholic and now I am mostly staying on the CloudyG3 rom because of it's great features and camera app which aren't fully working on AOSP roms. But once we will get multiboot fully working on the G2 we will feature lollipop and G3 stock rom :good:
It doesn't bother me at all, first I thought that it was going to be a big obstacle but I really like them at the back, easy to control for me and with knockon and knockoff it's perfect, although like alb3rtt said before, volume changing when the phone is on the table is sometimes annoying but it's not a big deal since you got the volume slider in the status bar when you are on stock atleast.
again like alb3rtt said, the first days were indeed awkward because I also touched the whole time the camera when trying to press the buttons but you get used to it fast :good: You gotta decide, much development but kinda boring (nexus5) or the LG G2 just a awesome device with enough development which is even increasing. I was thinking about which phone for 6 months so I suggest you the G2 since some bugs from the Nexus5 and the bad battery life isn't worth it.

I used to be flashaholic when I had the Galaxy Nexus, but this changed when I moved on to the Optimus G and now the G2.
I find LG ROMs amazing and have everything one needs.
The increased screen size over basically the same phone size is a great plus.
Personally I, as well as people around me, think that the back button arrangement should be on every phone. They really help keep the footprint down.
I didn't have problems hitting the keys as they perfectly placed for my hand(which is average in size).
For me, I don't change my volume while it's on a table or something so it's not a problem, and it's more useful as I can easily change the volume while my phone is in my G2.
CloudyG3 + Dorimanx kernel = best combination I have ever used on any phone.

I'm actually starting to prefer the back buttons on the G2 :silly: When I'm trying to take a photo on holiday, I can fire up the camera whilst the phone is still in my pocket and not attract attention to myself. Knock on and knock off rule also.
I'm now using the most upto date LG stock rom (20H) and dont believe a stock rom will ever be as smooth as the Nexus 5. Just ask yourself this, which is better, A smooth phone with a joke of a battery or a 10% slower phone with a 100% better battery. Its an easy choice in my book. :angel:
US..ONLY..So after an extensive research ...I bought the biggest Smartphone I can get...An 8 inch screen phone with a good battery life. For starters, here is what I found out...
Huawei has several models that are very confusing and even their customer service were not that much informative. models I have encountered are the following:
Huawei T1 8 Pro Honor - 823 L - 2 GB RAM and 16 GB Storage (Limited Bands for LTE but 4G speeds were fast enough for my use, got it from ebay)
Huawei T1 8 Pro Honor - 821 L - 1 GB RAM and 8 GB or 16 GB Storage options (More bands for LTE but 1 GB of RAM only)
Huawei T1 8 Pro Honor - 821 W - 1 GB RAM and 16 GB storage option (I think the W stands for WIFI...this I cannot confirm)
Huawei T1 8 Pro Mediapad - 2 GB RAM and 16 GB Storage from gethuawei website...out of stock as of this writing)
Huawei T1 8 Mediapad - 1 GB RAM and 16 GB Storage
This one has 4.4 for Android OS...I do not know if http://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...ot-huawei-mediapad-t1-8-0-pro-lte-t1-t3262608
has found a way to upgrade to Lollipop and remove bloatwares.
personally, the hardware is decent and battery life is great. I used it for 1 day and end fo the day still had 50% of battery life. I do need to have big pants though. Is there anyone trying to develop an updated OS for this system?

Too Bad, this is a good device and the battery life is good for a phone with an 8 inch screen. It is also good for those who have problems with vision and not wanting to be bringing 2 devices for travels.
I may have to learn programming to see if I can update this...
I have the MediaPad T1 8.0 Pro and it has the best radio/modem for T-Mobile coverage. It even covers their HSPDA+ 750 MhZ band which only a few phones cover; this is the band that T-Mobile calls the "building buster" for its ability to penetrate most buildings. So yeah for all that.. I'm now waiting for an 8-inch phablet that's octo-core and features Lollipop or Marshmallow. So far I have been unable to find one..
So which one of the above did you get? 823L, 821L, or the one from Gethuawei website?...i m like you impressed with the build but needs a pure Android OS to maximize it's potential.
A have the pro8 t1-821L its rootable and bloatware can be removed this way I have also unlocked the bootloader but there is no custom recovery or ROM which is a damn shame because it's nice bit of kit a can watch movies all night long on it and still not need to charge it also am not locked to EE either so if any devs r reading this post please help this phablet out? cheers
Agree

I would have wanted the 821L also but there were no 2GB available anywhere. Only 1 GB. But even with my 823L and connecting at 4G, the speed is negligible in our area which is Central Florida. I get to watch Netflix, and Youtube also with not much lag. And I do not have to squint from a small screen. Agree, also that if anyone can build a custom ROM that's plain Android Lolllipop would be nice.
Would a T1 8 Cutom ROM work for the T1 8 Pro?

The page you linked is not good. The download links are there just to make you send money. Currently there are no custom recovery for huawei t1 8.0 neither to t1 8.0 pro without that installing custom roms are not really convenient. And also I wasn't able to find any custom rom especially on XDA, so I'm pretty sure thereare no "hints" on xda as the page says....
Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 Pro GSM Unlocked 4G LTE US
Yes I do agree with everyone here. It is a very great device and a lot of bang for your buck plus more. The great thing about it is that you can basically make it however you want it. I manually updated mine to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Which took some time because Huawei is a very new brand and I had to get used to there EmotionUI. Which didn't take long because its Android too. Just without the app drawer. So its kind of ahead because Android N is going that direction from what I hear. Also after rooting and installing BusyBox I tried to install xPosed. But the Huawei device wouldn't take it because they already have there own framework. So I started to tinker more with it and found out that yes indeed they have framework already. That's why it reads a message error when trying to install xPosed and it says something about xPosed not being compatible. I believe it has something to do with their EmotionUI. Not sure though because that's my first Huawei experience. The device is really solid though. Resolution can be tweaked and the display looks so gorgeous then. Values for everything can be tweaked to make the OS run liquid smooth and fast with very little noticeable lag or hiccups. Also the volume values can change as well giving it a more premium sound. Camera resolution was turned up along with high quality pictures. So the pics stayed sharp looking. Also when some values are entered it gives the gaming experience so much more life through the CPU and the GPU. Rendering gets way better too. Also changing the data values gives it more LTE speed too. Along with other values that make the browser loading times instantly. Even when being on the mobile data network seems like you would be connected to WiFi. It saves a lot of data too. And the battery is amazing. I'm trying to remember what other tweaks worked perfect for it and it ran with no problems. Oh yes it can multi task with up to four things going on. I got the app where you can, watch YouTube and Google something. And watch something on eBay all in different windows at the same time. It got warm but handles it very well. You should overclock it and have the battery set on smart mode. Oh yes and change the font. I had Disney font on it and went to a more modern font look. I'll let y'all know what else I did if I can think of anymore things. Just reply I will come back to this forum. It is my most favorite device of all at the moment. And Huawei is so new too.

Yes I do agree with everyone here. It is a very great device and a lot of bang for your buck plus more. The great thing about it is that you can basically make it however you want it. I manually updated mine to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Which took some time because Huawei is a very new brand and I had to get used to there EmotionUI. Which didn't take long because its Android too. Just without the app drawer. So its kind of ahead because Android N is going that direction from what I hear. Also after rooting and installing BusyBox I tried to install xPosed. But the Huawei device wouldn't take it because they already have there own framework. So I started to tinker more with it and found out that yes indeed they have framework already. That's why it reads a message error when trying to install xPosed and it says something about xPosed not being compatible. I believe it has something to do with their EmotionUI. Not sure though because that's my first Huawei experience. The device is really solid though. Resolution can be tweaked and the display looks so gorgeous then. Values for everything can be tweaked to make the OS run liquid smooth and fast with very little noticeable lag or hiccups. Also the volume values can change as well giving it a more premium sound. Camera resolution was turned up along with high quality pictures. So the pics stayed sharp looking. Also when some values are entered it gives the gaming experience so much more life through the CPU and the GPU. Rendering gets way better too.

The page you linked is not good. The download links are there just to make you send money. Currently there are no custom recovery for huawei t1 8.0 neither to t1 8.0 pro without that installing custom roms are not really convenient. And also I wasn't able to find any custom rom especially on XDA, so I'm pretty sure thereare no "hints" on xda as the page says....

So sorry the link is not working...I guess it's up to this thread if we can have enough people to put our thought and reviews together about this device. As of today, I started looking at battery life, Pulled out the charger at 7 AM, Now its 7 Pm and I still at 70%.

Can we use a T1 10 Pro Rom for this device? Any of our XDA programmers chime in...?
So I just bought a Huawei ascend mate 7... finished using the tablet phone as I am almost done with my school... It was a nice piece of hardware and convenient in not having to bring two devices... But now I need mobility so I will be selling this one soon on eBay. If only it had a good following to install a updated os ....

Hi. I recently bought an Xperia 1 III, coming from a Xiaomi Mi 9T. I didn't realize how many things from MiUI I would miss straight from day one, namely the following.
Things I miss from the MiUI "recent apps" screen:
- The 2x2 layout. The stock Android horizontal layout is almost useless on a 21:9 display, I can't see to the side of the current app.
- The ability to pin apps to prevent them being closed when pressing "close all".
(- The ability to blur apps, but this isn't really an important one.)
More general concerns:
- Native support for scrolling screenshots.
Somewhat stupidly on my part, I did not factor in the UI before buying a Sony phone and now my experience with it is somewhat frustrating. I also just now realize that the scarce popularity of Sony devices means that few custom ROMs will likely be made. I invested in this phone and I intended to keep it for several years (it has everything I might need, hardware-wise) but the software experience is currently a let down.
Since I am still in time for a refund, what do you recommend? Are the custom ROMs (for other devices) that solve my issues, besides of course MiUI, that I might hope to see on the Xperia?
EDIT: I only now find out that you can, in fact, change the recent apps screen since Android Pie. I had read you could not, but the article was from 2017. My bad.
I guess my question now becomes: is there a way to install the MiUI recent apps screen?
I wouldn't think that you can install the MiUI recent apps screen without having to have full MiUI on it through some sort of custom ROM (though I may be completely wrong about that). Hoping to see some sort of ROMs start to exist in the near future.
I've been in a similar boat too though. Coming from a Oneplus 8 Pro, the software experience is very much lacking by comparison.
For me personally, one of the seemingly minute, but still noticeable things that really bothers me, is the old-school looking Android font. Sony doesn't allow you to change it, either. Also, even with an 888, the phone also struggles a lot when it splits two apps onto the screen, where the Oneplus (on an 855) didn't.

OPPO’s Find N foldable is more compact and cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3
The OPPO Find N is a new foldable featuring a large landscape screen and an affordable price tag. Read on to learn more.
www.xda-developers.com
Anyone has Any idea on how to link my oppo find N to an external monitor for desktop mode?
There is an integrated oppo proprietary option to replicate the phones screen to the PC (also works in big screen mode). This is called PC Connect and can be accessed via the toggles. Probably not what you were looking for but if its to use your phone on a PC, it will be ok. If you look for something like DeX.
Looking at the Fold 4, I still see our beloved Find N ways ahead. Hope we will get the AA issues solved with Android 13 but chances are small.

I have my Fold 4 on pre-order. After struggling to do anything semi functionally with the Find N since release I have had enough. I will be sad to see the size, build quality and colour (purple) of the Find N go, but I am ridiculously excited about regaining seamless functionality (along with my sanity). On top of the lack of user friendliness / simplicity aside, not having Android Auto and Google Pay has almost killed me (haha)
I am just looking forward to everything seamlessly working out of the box, not to mention what Samsung have achieved with 4 generations of folding devices. S Pen / crazy multitasking / independent cover + home screens etc.
Oppo might have Samsung up against the ropes regarding innovative design and build quality, but they have a hell of a lot to catch up on in terms of user friendliness / software / functionality (which at the end of the day I have come to realise is far more important to me)

BTW Google Pay works seamlessly on the find N.
But I get your point. At the end it's android to support big screens and multitasking. As such I guess we will see a lot of improvements with the A13 release for the Find N as well.

I see people saying it works fine, however I found that it kept on automatically removing / deleting my cards (which got pretty annoying)
Also, it completely stopped working once I installed Android 13 developer preview (which I am currently running), as the firmware isn't officially signed by Google and it thinks the device is compromised / rooted / custom ROM etc
