Just a few questions before buying :)

Hey Guys

Thinking of upgrading to this tablet from my Samsung Galaxy Tab S due to the much higher performance when gaming.

Was just wondering if anyone has an ETA of Root access for this tablet? I use multiple root apps like Six Axis controller, folder mount, greenify and titanium backup.

Does the playstation 4 controller that you can connect to it work with all android games or does this only work when remotely playing playstation 4 games?

Last one.. Can every app be opened in 'small window mode' I have installed a root app on my tab s called MW Commander that enables me to use any app I want in a pop up window.

Any help would be most appreciated

Thanks

There is root access, check one of the threads here in the Q&A sub-forum.

Controller should be usable for all games, but haven't tried since I don't game much.

Not every app can (by default) be opened as a smallapp. Only designated smallapps can. I don't know of the root app you're speaking of, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

The mw app is samsung touchwiz devices only. Might be a dev thats done a sony version somewhere on The playstore though

1. Yes There is Root Access for it Just check the Dev Section
2. Play Station Controller is Only for Remotely play PS4
3. There is Just Small Apps & Widget that you can Open via Small App Manager. Like

Thanks everybody for your help
The only thing I can find on root on here is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/z4-tablet/help/enybody-root-t3154926 though it doesn't seem to be a simple/easy process and I wouldn't feel comfortable doing what has been suggested. I was hoping for a flushable .zip of some sort and a custom recovery. None of which seem to be out yet which is a shame Have any of you guys successfully rooted? How did it go?

That's a shame about the PS4 controller. I'm guessing though with root if you use the app six axis controller from the plaster you'd be able to hook up a Playstation 3 controller to play standard games all ok?

Thanks for that, as far as I can see I can't find an app that would do the same as MW Manager (I can't seem to add any app to work with small apps) which is a shame but could be overlooked if the other two would work ok.
