So I've had the A9 tab for a while and its pretty much a paperweight in my house but I'd like to turn it into a gaming (emulation) and E-Reader machine for myself. However, I looked online and in the sub (yes, I did use the search feature before asking) and XDA as well, and what I've seen is that people prefer to root the device and some want to just debloat...
I like the lineageOS look and wanted that, but, I've so far only seen posts regarding the A9+ and its a different model.
Going back to my original question, Do I root the device (if so what are the benefits), or do I debloat? I'm personally leaning towards installing a custom rom (not sure if I have to root it to do that), but what options do I have and is there any custom rom support for the tab or nah?
Any and all answers are welcome, I just want to breath some new life into the device.
