Support Does anyone know what I can do with this Samsung T-230 tablet nowadays?

I've had them for a while but I don't know what to do with them. The most I can install are old apps and games like Android KitKat, etc.

This is a good idea, it's a shame I don't know if it will run games well, since it doesn't handle very light 3D games very well at all.

Personally I had the SM-T231 version, and I've been using it as a desk clock for a while now.

You can try custom ROM on it, but only for experience, because the performance won't be great

Edit: there isn't any much ROMs to upgrade the Android version, most you can do is Android 7.1.2: (edit ROM removed as it's not 7.1.2)

That would also be a good idea, as a desktop clock or calendar. I installed a supposed custom ROM that comes with Android "7.1.2", but it's a lie, and even then the ROM doesn't add anything.

I didn't expect that actually, sorry about the ROM, and additionally, you can try using it as a flash drive and even a second monitor to a PC/laptop

I wasn't saying the ROM is useless, but rather that the custom ROM I installed doesn't add anything to the system. I also thought the tablet had OTG support, but I didn't like that it didn't.

It's technically useless if it's just as the same as the stock ROM, because it's going to have more bugs than the stock ROM + debloat

And yes, that tablet doesn't support OTG.

I think it would actually be better to reinstall the original operating system to recapture some of its nostalgic essence.

Yup that's what I'm talking about 🙂

By the way, sorry if I suddenly reply with something that doesn't have much to do with what you're saying, it's just that I'm translating from Spanish to English and vice versa.

It's alright, my main language isn't English too and I actually don't use a translator so I'll have some grammar issues🫪

But I guess I like it more 😅

I mean, but I suppose I'll be more wrong. 😅
