This is the most stable and feature-complete ROM for this tablet.
No custom ROM is perfect due to proprietary MediaTek drivers. Here is how to survive the glitches:
| Bug | Solution | | :--- | :--- | | Camera not working | Use "Open Camera" from Play Store with API2 enabled. For Oreo builds, accept defeat. | | Mobile data drops | Go to Settings → More → Cellular Networks → APN settings → Reset to default. | | YouTube lags | Install YouTube Vanced (old version) or use NewPipe. The official YouTube app is too heavy. | | Battery drains fast | Install Kernel Adiutor → CPU Governor set to "Powersave" or "Conservative". | | Wi-Fi MAC address changes | This is a bug in MTK RIL. Use a static IP in your router settings. |
