We got some new tablets and apparently Android 9.0 breaks functionality with a feature we need in our MDM. Anyway to flash back to 8.1?
I used to flash to and from different roms with my Galaxy S3 but that was a young mans game and I'm out of the loop now.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is it possible to get windows metro apps for 8.1 for 8.0?
I want to know as I found an app on the store that is only for 8.1 that I really want, however I don't want to upgrade as I want to keep jailbreak for 8.0
No. They added a few new API features to 8.1 which will not be present on your 8.0 device, hence why you can't deploy 8.1 apps to 8.0.
You will either have to wait for the jailbreak to come out and update to 8.1 then, forgoing the apps for a while.
Or update, get the apps, forgo the jailbreak until that comes out.
I'm still using my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 kitkat 4.4.2 ,
i know it's an old phone, but it's working fine
We're already on Oreo version android OS,
since, theres no way i can upgrade to Oreo, and i don't want to purchase a new phone,
is there an open source custom rom, operating system that i can install on my note 2,
is there such a thing as a custom operating system that can be installed on new and old phones,
im tried of not recieving any new features or security updates,
why can't android be the same as desktops,
im running linux on a old desktop and it is still supported,
is there a team out there working on an open source operating system for everyone to use and it updated?

AICP gets weekly updates (automatically).
Some other ROMs (from that table) get manual updates as soon as the monthly security patch is available.
Im going to install LineageOS and see how that goes, it seems that one is the best one that has the most support?
At least i found my way easy around their website, going to give that a shot
Hi. I own a Lenovo Z2 Plus with stock OS 6.0.1. Is there some way to install graphics API runtimes onto this device without having to flash a new ROM? Because I know for sure that most of all custom ROMs gimp your phone's true potential. I happen to like the stock OS as well. The API libraries that I need are Vulkan. The stock OS only comes with Open CL 2.0. I would upgrade to 7.0 but I'm skeptical because it might bring issues. Is there any way to do this? I'd like to keep the phone as factory like as possible. TIA.
Update to Stock N and if it doesn't fit your needs then revert back to MM
also offical Oreo might come out this month.
Just saw this on SamMobile. Anyone else heard anything about 8.1
Nothing on my end.
That's for the Galaxy Note 9 (N960), which runs on 8.1 instead of 8.0 like the S9 (G960). Officially the S9 will likely not be updated to 8.1, but will get a 9.0 update whenever Samsung releases that.
My bad... Can't believe I typed that in wrong. Had the note 8 before the S9. Thanks for the response
Samsung doesn't really apply the full security patch all in one go. They usually apply the security updates in 8.1 to 8.0. So basically it will be the same as 8.1, whenever Samsung actually get around to releasing any sort of update
Hi all,
I am the old owner of this device and was wondering to which latest possible Android version can I update it. Even unofficially supported ofc. Currently running 6.1.
Any helper links are welcome.
Thank you.

Hi, I updated my Tab S T-800 with Resurrection Remix based on 14.1 and it works really great.
Tried LOS15.1 too, but wasn't stable.

Guys, I have Samsung Galaxy TAB S (SM T805) if I update it to a newer version will it be faster?
Or if I root the tablet?

Newer firmware doesn't necessarily make the device faster. There isn't much you can do about a 9 yr old device.
Since the T800/T805 are not Treble compliant, the only way to run newer firmware is via custom ROMs, although I doubt development on devices this old gets much attention.
So what I understand is there is not much to do with the tablet to make it a little bit faster.
What about root or that is a different matter?
And last question about

Root is a different matter. In most cases, you can flash the Magisk app through TWRP, and Magisk will automatically detect the right way to root your device. If TWRP is not available, you'll need to patch the AP firmware file in Magisk, then flash to your device with Odin.

Would you be able to suggest which old tablets could make sense to flash semi-current roms onto? I tried to bring back some old device to reuse for home assistant display, but it's too old... Been thinking about these samsungs, but from this thread it's also a bit too old.

I don't have any suggestions, sorry. I have a Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (T290) at home that I'm running an AOSP GSI on, but those were released in 2018.

imho it's correct that a custom ROM doesn't necessarily make old devices faster, but I experienced it such that at least they don't get slower (except I9195).
Recently I was allowed to support development of Android 19=LOS 20 for my T325 and it runs like hell.
P600 and P900 on LOS14, T810 on LOS19 all using daily in different rooms.
I9195 on LOS18 (that is really laggy) N910F on LOS18 as backup devices.
