Such asinine planning. Literally regressed after being able to change it for decades in any device that offered expanded storage.

I guess maybe I could format an sd as internal use, since it just mounts it seamlessly as part of internal storage. Sucks to have to do that though.

I don’t think ZTE are banned in the U.S. I’ve bought and sold them on eBay. I haven’t used one but I think the carriers attached were ordinary American cellular companies.

It’s fine I think I have what I need.

I have no fear the way it was stated seemed to imply that’s where the root had to point. Glad it’s not the case. Seemed odd to say the least but it was referenced absolutely so that’s what I thought. Not a problem.

Ah ok it seemed like it was immediately that the root had to be there.

If that’s the case then I probably don’t need gui but I would prefer to be able to put files wherever I want. Like if I want the web root to be somewhere other than /var/www/ that’s actually not really gonna work for me.

Many thanks!

Indeed. I will find out what commands are necessary. Thank you.

Excellent thank you I’ll look more.

Does Thunderbird have unified inbox? And how well does it deal with Exchange? Just do imap mode?

I’ll figure out something. 👍

That’s cool. I have adb on my machine.

So did you do any alternative rom or just flash to get a clean copy? I’d love to put something else on there it’s actually a pretty nice device. I usually don’t love Motorola but they have their gems here and there.

Cool, I’ll look into that as well. Thank you.

Cool, thanks! I will take a look at it.

Lutris seems to offer a lot of easy setups for games, but I want to use some windows apps from my own installation files, and it seems to be not very intuitive

Thank you I appreciate it!

Yeah I’m kinda the same way. The problem is I want this Android device I just need to gain root and take out google’s always running always spying stuff. That’s all I need to change.

The entire mobile device market is an organized crime enterprise at this point. So it’s a matter of just getting what you need out of it as easily as you can. I definitely don’t allocate any time to this stuff for fun. I used to, but now I just want to do what I need and that’s it.

I want to own what I have that’s why I wanna root. I also want decent battery life and performance. All the hardware manufacturers seem to cram as much in there as they can, so you’ll quickly find yourself wanting something better. I got the Zenpad to be able to give me like 20 hours of battery life when using it as an e-reader. I wish rooting and super user etc. steps for this were as easy as that device was.

My phone is iPhone but this is tablet and I want more privilege on this thing. No justification for me not to be able to do absolutely anything and everything I want.

The forums are insanely difficult to navigate. Every post is a collection of abbreviations. Every instruction guide refers to steps as though you already know how to carry them out as in “pumf your giget then wink the boop then skit the yump”

I wish there was a tutorial that was step by step with detailed articulation of exactly what each thing is. Used to be they’d do that.

My product is SM-T220NZSPXAR sku SM-T220NZSPG. I’d like to root it and debloat things I don’t want running, I’d like to be able to move apps over to my sd, and I want to be able to disable automatic starting of junk.

I did this years ago on my Zenpad and it was pretty clear and easy. I guess I’m getting old.

I wrote my first program on an Apple IIe when I was like 9. This is just overwhelming me with info that isn’t really coherent at all.

I found a is this what I want?
How to unlock & root Tab A7 Lite T220/225, install LSPosed, Magisk, Mods.

It looks like Lineage actually might be available although I don’t need it.

I gotta tell you I can’t make heads or tails of the xda forums. Every post has a half dozen abbreviations and I have no idea what I want. What’s the difference between root and TWRP.
