Now after many of you guys who could have the tablet already were able to root and remove your bloat , so after rooting and being able to customize your tablet and DPI etc. how is it with the tablet going for you ? Would appreciate you sharing your experience so far
p.s ... this baby will cost a solid 1000$ in my country for LTE model .
It's definitely more responsive after freezing a bunch of unnecessary (for me anyway) applications.
For me my primary reason for purchasing was for s-pen in a large form factor. Based on that I expected to just de-bloat and use stock s-pen applications. I have no interest in any other Android tablet at this time.
Question is sort of odd though; I wouldn't expect a lot of people to have gone through the hard decision of rooting such an expensive device and then say they felt it wasn't worth it.

well its not that odd bc its not just about the money etc its about the whole experience etc and what could you get out of the tablet with the more real estate and i have seen some people regretting buying it etc. am a junior architect and i was waiting for something that big to use it with the s-pen too .. in my place you wouldn't be able to resell the tablet if you didn't like it or didn't get what you expect from it etc even i watched many reviews about it and sounds pretty interesting the limitations around me makes me have some concerns thats it
Right, my point is the "is it worth it" evaluation for a person who has rooted their device will have already occurred before rooting so of course you'll get more responses in the affirmative. I suppose it's not impossible that some will chime in to say that even after rooting it's unacceptable. ...perhaps odd is the wrong thing to say...just don't expect a majority of people who have rooted to tell you that they wish they hadn't.

I get your point and edited the post of course we all root to get more out of the tablet
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
the lag is the same! i remove some of the bloat and not freezing. and im using nova prime launcher.
i guess we need to wait for the dev to release some ROM
and by the way, why are you guys freezing your stuff when your knox is already tripped?

It's sometimes good to freeze (at least as a test-bed) because some apps no matter how innocuous they may seem could be an integrated part of the system. Removing them might break functionality within other apps or even the system itself. For example, on some systems if you remove the pre-installed file manager because you prefer another (Solid Explorer RULES!), it might break the Gallery app which could interfere with setting wallpapers even from other apps. That example - from my phone.
I want root to address the following things...
1. Remove multiwindow application restrictions
2. Use LMT or similar launcher for home, back, menu, etc.
3. Change the DPI (smaller icons, more real estate).
4. Backup/restore with Titanium Backup
5. freeze/remove system apps/bloat.
6. Install AOSP browser w/Flash
Rooting I noticed nothing different. I installed xposed and wanam to get the things I like. The main thing that changed was I lost the symbols on my keyboard. I can still get them by hitting the sym key, but can't long press the letter keys to get the symbol. It doesn't matter what language it's set to, they are not there.
Also, my video player developed an issue when it set to fullscreen. Lines through it and very choppy.
So I have un installed wanam and exposed, and video is normal, but still no symbols. Had them out of the box.
Thinking about Un rooting to see if it fixes the issue on the keyboard.

Update: I reinstalled xposed before I Un rooted, which I will not be doing. Installed the alternate keyboard symbols module, and they are back. I'll try wanam again, but leave the current module running.
Thanks for all the suggestions! Back to the rooted fun.

For me, personally, no device is "worth it" without root access. So, I guess you can put me down for a "worth it." An unrooted device just... feels... it just plain feels wrong, man. *shivers*

Was able to get a ROM built and running based on LRX21V straight from source. Just trying to get a feel on how many people would want to run AOSP. There are some bugs present such as video recording causing the camera to stop working. I think there are binaries missing that Google didn't include in the binaries that are available. Same problem happened on the Nexus 5. Didn't test it much as I just purely wanted to see if it booted.
Also there is a lack of gapps available so I won't be rushing to get anything out. Let me know what y'all think and I'll try to tackle this to get some other options out for us.
Here is the test build for those that want to have a look. This is just a test build so bugs are to be expected. Video recording does not work. Haven't tested it completely as I need a fully working device this weekend. This is for those that have free time to just nit pick and find all bugs in this. Please report back after you are done and let me know what else you may have found that is broken or not working right.
Stock Google kernel (so if you flashed the kernel image to remove encryption your phone WILL be encrypted again)
Built off 5.0.0_r7 from AOSP
Flash ROM, flash gapps and flash SU that is linked below. This will allow root access on the stock kernel.
You can also optionally flash the custom boot image after flashing the ROM, gapps and SU by rebooting to bootloader and fastboot flash boot the custom encryption kernel. That is optional. Be sure to go back in to recovery after flashing the kernel to reflash the SU to make sure it was not overwritten.

That is pretty offensive. It is a new device and isn't in the developers hand so releasing work without testing their work leads to quality problems.

I know the reasons behind it, which was the point of the "no offense." I wasn't whining. I was trying to help motivate and encourage OP. He, as well as others, are working on making things happen and I'm excited for it and waiting eagerly for the kernel source to drop.
You took what I said the wrong way, so step off of your soap box, zephiK.
Edit: That reminds me. If any devs need testers, PM me. I'll be happy to help the community out.

No. Minor bug fixes for the particular device it was made for but that's it. I did notice on the N5 that there was a significant "miscellaneous" battery drain on r7. Might roll back to r3 if its present since r3 is the one for us (its also the same build for the N5).

Most of us here don't care that Google tells us our device is uncertified, blame it on the custom ROM, will ya?
However that isn't enough, many are ignoring the fact that while we have safetynet passing, Google play still sees our device as uncertified. This can create problems for safetynet bypass in the future and should be solved. Also, why did you pay for the device if you're going to live with uncertified? If the device shows up as uncertified in the play store, some apps may not work
Below is a magisk module that corrects this bug
It may also fix an issue for some users who are simply not able to bypass safetynet after repeated attempts
After flashing this module, check your play store. It will show Device certification true
If you're a ROM dev and want to include this patch in your ROM go here: https://github.com/anupritaisno1/an...mmit/b388c3b0265b0ab7697505d1ac618421654e46b1
Source code: https://github.com/anupritaisno1/op2_certification_bypass/commits/master
Before somebody argues that magiskhide works and fixes this issue, it doesn't
You can check the current certification in the play store setting
Tested here and does change it to certified.
Unfortunately not working here, using the newest OpenGapps and your ROM.

Thanks Char_G! I've been running this rom with the Pixel2 modded launcher and after the initial setup, it smoothed out nicely. It's been running great! I love all the features that are in it even in the early stages of this rom. Everything is working well for me so far. Kudos to the Dev on this one!
can i install official opengapps? on this rom?
Has anybody tried Android Auto with this ROM? It seems to connect just fine, but I only get a black screen on the head unit.
This was a great running ROM for me. But Android Auto is a deal killer for me. I am attaching a logcat for you guys to look at to see if you see any issues with it. It should be something do to with gearhead I believe.

The problem isn't Oreo, but the unlocked bootloader tripping safety net, Netflix also blocks rooted devices now. You can try magisk for root, I don't use it so I can't help you out with that.

Are NFC and Bluetooth working. Aside from some jankiness here in there, I think those are the only 2 things I've ever really had issues with on all the Oreo ROMs so far.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I've installed Assistant, uninstalled both Google app and Assistant, set them up again, checked permissions and default app settings...
This screen is as far as I can get. As soon as I click Get Started, it goes back to the screen showing "Ok Google" any time is still off.

I can get "okay Google" to work from the home screen and during Maps, but I haven't been able to get it to work "anytime" yet.
OOohhh, I was assuming we were talking about the same thing. Ok.

What extra are you all getting out of installing the Assistant app? Without it I'm able to use the hot word on the home screen.

Welp... through some combo of messing around I'm now at this screen...
So today I found out that the latest version of Swipe for Facebook (I think, pretty sure) created major problems. Pixel launcher would constantly crash, phone became semi useless cause of that. Then a couple reboots later, screen would go black after unlocking pass code. So I had to factory reset it. I reinstalled swipe and bam Pixel launcher crashed. So I used Google assistant to open Google play store and Uninstalled the app. So far no issue. My phone is a Google version and unlocked bootloader.

Ya very true. But ya know some of us can't live without it. I'm now using Friendly Facebook app. Seems to have no issues. I did email the dev team for swipe to let them know though.

It is that simple. Plus it smells more like a problem that the developer of the app needs to resolve, rather then being beware for the "pixel".
So report it to the developer instead of just ranting here, I think that might be a lot more productive. Or don't use it. Either way, not a "Pixel" issue....

How do I get this app off my phone now.

Dude....what the **** did this app do. I can't even boot into ****ing safe mode.
I have never seen a user app do this to a phone before.
I am so beyond ****ing pissed right now.

Google support is a ****ing joke. Literally was in a chat and the only thing they could tell me to do was restart the phone over and over until giving up and telling me to factory reset.

Did you try restarting in safe mode then uninstalling the app?

Yup, several times. I've never seen a user app from the play store brick a phone like this. Completely unrecoverable.

I think this is a good thing to post. If the phone has to be factory reset from this, it isn't just a program crashing.

actually, i have had issues where it was the programme's fault for the un-usable galaxy nexus (back in mah day (puts teeth back in)), i was able to pull the apk off via other methods. and soon after an update to that app was pushed. cant remember the app, but it was a big company. turns out, it was several devices that had this issue with similar chip types or something along that line.

I'm not saying it wasn't a problem with the app. What I am saying is that it is not a run of the mill app crashing, where you just uninstall and everything is good. Having someone or now two people mention it took a factory reset to fix things after installing the app is useful. Then people can decide to take a chance or wait.
Ignore them, uninstalling swipe made my pixel great again so we know it's not fake

He probably lucked out and got the 7.2.1 update instead of 7.2. From people's response here as well as reviews on the Play Store, this **** was no joke.
This was horrible for me. For some reason even though my phone was setup 48 hours prior cloud backup did not back up my texts. So because of **** testing on a Play Store app I lost all my messages. I'd like to know exactly what the **** did the developer do to cause this. I've never seen a Play Store app this damaging before. I've honestly never had anything like this happen on a stock device. Only back when messing around with ROMs and mods.

Yeah, crazy. I've never seen this happen on a stock rom before either. I actually enjoy friendly Facebook better than swipe. Seems to work better with notifications and seems smoother than when swipe used to work.

So true. It's amazing to me that with all of Facebook's resources and with how much they rely on mobile users, that their mobile app is still so f***ing terrible. I was having some lag/stuttering issues on my LG V30 and after uninstalling facebook and LG's built in facebook installer app, my phone started running buttery smooth and hasn't hiccuped since. Now I just check facebook occasionally when I'm in front of my computer.
Uninstalling it from your phone immediately shows you how little you need that crap feed in your life.
Facebook is and always will be coded like garbage.
