Can I boot when charging? Non root? T387 At&t 8.0

[hd2 head]

Hello all,

I'm trying to install this in my car and need to power on when it's charging.

I have macrodroid and it's asking for root access.

I've looked everywhere and it doesn't seem like there is much support. Anyone have a US rooted Tab A 8.0 T387?

Is it possible to power on while charging without root access?

Thanks in advance!

Sup @hd2 head, wondering if you ever got this working? I'm looking for a tablet car solution and the T387 looks perfect. Did you get it to play nice with everything? thx.

No I just ended up cutting a notch out where the buttons are :-/

I see... Is everything else working fine with Macrodroid? I need a tablet for my e90 bmw with the MOST optical system, but don't want to run a old Nexus 7 like people did 5 years ago. Are you able to charge and play music from USB simultaneously? Do you know if any tablets would support that, either MicroUSB or USB C?

How do you use yours? Just connected to your stereo BT and play music that way? With my 2006 car, that is not an option stock, we must buy a MOST adapter, then we can use BT streaming. I would however like to play music from via USB into the MOST adapter, but would need to use some sort of hub that supplies power to tablet while tablet streams to MOST adapter. From my reading, seems like USB 2.0 is not allowed to do that? Not sure about USB C though.... anyone?

thanks!

My aftermarket head unit has an aux cable input. I'm using that for audio.

I have a macro set to give me the power off option when I take the key out (stop charging)

I routed the car charger to always be charging the tablet when the key is in
