Having updated countless android tablets & phones in the past, this is one of the easiest of them over all. Google play store comes enabled , and we can't disable it on the settings like before (but can be disabled with other programs) Installed feedly for rss reading, kindle for android for my collection on amazon, audible, files by google , telegram (for certain book groups) , kiwi browser (to be able to use desktop chrome extensions), voice aloud (for tts with other programs) and hidden settings for disabling enabling some programs easily (like play store) and of course tachiyomi for mangas
@patientxtr
- how to instal those "hidden settings" - it will come in handy to disable battery consuming stuff for sure!?
- also what launcher are u using?
- is KWGT widget possible?

Another interesting option once rooted is to monitor any suspicious app sending data in the background. Now you can debloat/disable unwanted apps and have full control of your system.
@2rl So how can we get rid of those battery sucking apps other way if Your idea doesn't work as we know?

ps. how is the battery life after upgrade (nd does anyone have original 6v. rom in case of failure?)

ps. @Motobylette am also thinking how are doing marses with 8.1 already installed while purchasing them o.o is it the latest good v or...
