I'm running an unlocked G6, a US model. Still no Pie update, aside from the January 2019 security patch. Some users in other countries outside of North America have reported receiving the Pie update for the G6. I also bought a G6 Play as a backup, and that one doesn't have Pie, either. I think...

This article is from last October. Short story: the upcoming 4K fire TV may have the Nougat based OS 6 first. https://www.slashgear.com/nougat-based-amazon-fire-os-6-is-out-but-no-one-can-get-it-02502323/

If you haven't decided yet, yes, get the HD 10. I bought one to use as a daily tablet. I've done the work needed to add Google Play, and use a different launcher, though the stock fire one isn't bad. (I prefer Nova Launcher.) Great upgrade hardware wise from my older Samsung tab 4 7 inch, and...

I've had my Stylo 3 for over a week. Upgraded from a G Stylo, which was rooted. (Reworked that one to stock and rerooted, but running stock with minimal apps and system upgrade block on... backup phone now.) It's been a godsend of sorts for me. This phone performs like more expensive phones...

For Sprint phones, temp root only. You lose root once the phone is rebooted. For other models with 2 GB / 16 GB internal and the 13 MP phone, you can gain permanent root that is easily reversible.

Can you recall where exactly on the phone you did this? Mine's already flickered a few times, turning to a slightly washed out grayish tone on top of the color for a few minutes, then returning to normal. It's happened about ten times since the end of January for me. Last time was last night...

I'm sorry. While it's possible to root a VM LG G Stylo on Marshmallow, the actual method for doing so is extremely difficult to run. Also, root is lost once the phone is rebooted. You're stuck with MM on that phone. It can't be reflashed back to Lollipop anymore. As far as the using the SD...

I wouldn't delete the phone apps for any reason. IIRC, I tried this once with this rom and ended up soft bricking my V. Had to get to Mandylion recovery, wipe everything in internal memory, and reinstall the ROM, Gapps, and the apps I use via Titanium.

Forget Samsung on this count. Just root the thing and get something like Nextapp SD Fix. Must be politics but I can't waste my time waiting. I've got my tab 4 7 inch as good as I can run it with that, an oc kernel and custom rom, like the one I described earlier. Hell, I've already got a new...

Thanks for posting this link! I have yet to decide whether I should just stick to Lollipop 5.1.1 and leave it stock, or root that installation to free internal memory a bit (still no TWRP recovery... would be better with that), or upgrade to Marshmallow 6.0. (All these horror stories are...

You might have to uninstall a few apps. The update is 770 MB. I got mine a few days ago but haven't installed it yet as I want to back up a few items and data. Only thing that p^$*3d me off was that I got it while on cell phone data, and not WiFi! Had to buy a 2 GB data pack for $10, but that's...

I used that one a few months ago. Worked okay, but I personally recommend Acheron. The dev for that is fairly prompt with replies to questions about his ROM.

If you're still interested, I'm using this one: [ROM][STOCK][TEAM ACHERON]{T230/NU}[OD1] ACH… | Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 | XDA Forums It's the only one that's being updated regularly. It's a deodexed rom, so theming it to your taste is easier to accomplish. I haven't themed mine, as I like the...

Right here for 1.9: [ROM] Harmonia 1.9 Froyo (Aphrodite+Picasticks) 12June12

Great, thanks. I'm in the middle of rebuilding my rooted wifi only Tab 4. Will have to load my first nandroid backup, unroot, and see if I get an update through OTA or Smart Switch.
