Does anyone have the Tab S 8.4 16gb, rooted, in order to store and run apps from the micro SD card? I really like this tab, but worried about picking one up if I can't put a significant amount of apps/games and on it.
 
I'll bump this since I'm somewhat interested in the subject and the 10.5 is my first Android device and while I've heard of "rooting" I don't know much about it.
 
I'm not familiar with rooting. It seems the Tab S can move game/app into SD card without rooting. I just tested it. Not sure if this answer your question, Aredubu.

Thanks. It answers it a little. My Nvidia Shield 32gb Tablet allows for moving all of an application to the sd card, with a few exceptions, unlike a lot of other devices. Since the Tab S only hasn16 GB of internal storage, although I really like it more than my Shield Tab, I am trying to figure out if I can root it and increase the storage, via SD card for applications.
