The ones on XDA have dead links or have no workable instructions. Anyone have a complete repository with proper insructions? My T220 was very affordable but honestly, it’s brutally slow. OneUI is too heavy for these resources. I don’t want Lineage, since it does not allow moving apps to SD.
A solid generic Android with Root would be just ((((chef’s kiss)))).
The device already has Developer options set to allow OEM unlocking and I have adb etc. on PC.
I hope someone has something good for me. Thanks.

Following this. I got one as a gift. Buttfucking slow even after i disabled everything through adb. Thank fuck my wife aint the one to complain as long the tab can stream movie without much lag.
Yeah the weird thing is it can run smoothly on occasion but when you start doing things it slows down to a crawl in seconds. I stripped so much out of it via ADB and still the simplest things do such awful weigh-down, like even keeping zoom level at minimum the settings app won’t even paint itself and you have to use shortcuts to go to a settings page specifically.
I want an Android that is as minimal as possible. I don’t need gaming hub or game optimization engine running but it seems to sometimes cause a problem if it’s disabled. Like they cross-referenced all these modules within the base elements of parts of the OS so disabling some things that are totally unnecessary can still break things in the foundation because from the development standpoint they always assume it’s all there. I’m not entirely positive of this, I could be mistaken, and I hope I am because it seems extraordinarily sloppy.
This unit is an exercise in unrealized potential because of being bloated down by an unreliable overcoat.
I think it just suck at multitasking due to shit cpu. I noticed the moment i tabbed out from a video player mid playing it starts to lag.
Yeah. I disabled most of the thing and it still lag. I had to reduce animation and transparency. Change the launcher too. Its better than stock but it really gets on my nerves knowing modern devices can still get this lag out of the box.
I’ll tell you I think with this specific device it’s just poor planning but there are plenty of bottom rung devices that suck because yeah, they’re made to be worse than all the other devices by that manufacturer in that product line. Manufacturer ABCo wants you to buy their product. They want everyone to have their product and no one else’s. But there’s a price level that’s below anything they make, and so, in order to still get you to buy their brand, they market this bottom of the barrel quality product for just this kind of scenario. They can’t make it good because then why would anyone pay for the next tier up? So they make it appealing-seeming, but sucky enough for you to eventually want something better. And then they’re hoping you’ll buy one of their better products.
But with this device even without multitasking, just browsing the web in Firefox is sometimes so bad that I tap the address bar and it takes like 5 seconds for the keyboard to come up.
So yeah… when I bought this I had in mind that I would mod it in whatever way possible.
Since it’s a mediatek + tablet it will be hard to find roms
The non-Lite version is supported by LineageOS but tablets are kinda hard yeah
I don’t want Lineage on this thing anyway.
