Ordered a Samsung Tab S6 lite 2022 (self.android)

I switched to apple years ago but I’ve been craving android. My mac book screen broke so I took that as an excuse to buy a tablet. I didn’t need anything too expensive so I thought that was a good choice. Bought a new one off eBay for $200. I’m still waiting for it but I’m excited.

I was even thinking about setting up Remote Desktop and using my tablet for my computer lol. I also use hoopla for comic books but my phone screen is too small for it so I’m also excited for that. Overall I’m hyped to have an android device again.

I know it’s not the greatest thing in the world but that’s not what I’m looking for

It's been a while. I just followed the XDA guides. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/howto-unlock-and-root-the-galaxy-tab-s6-lite.4132289/

Check around that site to see if there isn't a more recent method.

Thanks I’ll check it out. What did you do with your device with the root?

Also any chance you have tried the keyboard with trackpad for it?

[–] eric3a 2 points 1 year ago

Titanium backup and Ad Away are my fave but plenty of other things.

I've got a keyboard with track pad. I bought it a couple years ago, so I don't remember where I got it from. Pretty sure its not a Samsung one. It's decent and works to write longer emails on the road.
