I thought I’d report this even though it has literally almost nothing to do with lightning launcher,but I thought I’d post here anyway since there’s so many android users who have had more than 1 device with various android versions. On top of this I think Pierre Hébert​ would love to read about this. But anyway, here we go…..

For those who don’t already know I’m running Android 4.1.1 and I can say that My tablet is used, it acts like it’s 80 years old when I only had it about 2 years. I’m very upset that a computer can last 15 years without needing to be replaced but I can’t keep a tablet 6 months without people telling me that it’s old and to upgrade. How can it be that old? My computer was at least 15 before it finally gave up. What upset me the most is that I wasn’t seeing features that I should be because nobody supports 4.1,which I think is just wrong. I don’t feel I should have to upgrade my device just to see the features when they should be available to me as well. My device isn’t that old. This is just how I always felt.

(Now here’s where it gets exciting) just a few weeks ago a friend of mine came acrossed a fortune and he decided to send quite allot of stuff in the mail. Well just 4 days ago my tablet was busted in a struggle with my browser. The volume up button doesn’t work anymore, this tablet acts like it’s 80 years old, I can’t get it to just work, I can’t root it….. It’s already pissed me off (and that’s saying it nicely by the way) to the point where I’m about to bust this goddamn thing over my knee, spit on it, and beat the hell out of a neighbor just so I can take his car and run this thing over a few times. It’s done, garbage, out of here…. I have had it with this piece of shit. It’s time I bought a new one. Note I’m starting to understand why nobody wants to support 4.1.

Well now I’m looking into a 5.2. But I can’t figure out what tablet to buy. One of the things I did like about this tablet is that it had 1 dedicated charger port and one micro USB port for otg. That’s kinda what I would like to get in my new tablet, though I doubt I’ll ever get that again because everything is on 1 port with these new devices.

This is how I made my decision : half of what I wanted to do required 4.3+ and /or root access so I thought I I’ll look into 4.3 just to avoid a conflict. But then I realized everyone else is on a 5.0+already so there’s still going to be people telling me that I need to upgrade. So I think I’ll just avoid 4.3. But I refuse to go with 4.4 just because I shouldn’t have to root my device just to get the only app in the play store that would write to my external storage on 4.1 to also write on 4.4 (by the way 100million apps in the play store swearing that they can write to my external storage yet only one was able to actually do it?), but I don’t think I’d be happy with 5.0 or 5.1 because too many people were having problems. So I’ll just hit 5.2 (or the absolute latest that’s out right now).

I know I need 2 cameras (1 for video chat and 1 for pictures)

10 inch screen minimum (if I can go 12 that will be even better)

Otg (optional)

I’m thinking maybe a 4 or 5gb of ram because 1gb wasn’t doing the job)

16 – 32gb internal storage (though I hear they have 64gb which would be better)

I wanna be able to root the damn thing just in case (I don’t feel I should have to, I just want to do I’ll need a tablet I can root)

The only problem I’m facing is that I’ve found only 1 store that will even sell a 5.0 and I don’t even want a 5.0. The highest any other store carries is 4.4 and like I said I refuse to get one.

Corey Spell​ maybe you can help me out here since you’re the only one I know in the community who lives near me (anyone else live in USA?) .

But there’s my story. I have some money coming in and I need a new tablet. I’m looking for help with what tablet to get and what store would sell it. I have until 6 days from the exact time of this post to find one. =-(

(it’s a help request but I’ll post this in discussion since it has almost nothing to do with lightning launcher)
