Official LineageOS 14.1 ROM Android 7.1.2 Nougat ZTE Trek 2 HD
ZTE’s Trek 2 HD not only set a benchmark for affordable tablet, it also was the most popular tablet. It offered the right mix of power and performance on a budget. Shipped with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS, there is still no word on whether the tablet will be updated to Android 7.1.2 Nougat. But for those who can’t wait for the official update to arrive, there are custom ROMs that let you install the latest, unofficial operating system right away.
LineageOS has been around for a while and has a lot of followers. I have personally used it on multiple smartphones myself and totally loved how certain things are handled on it, especially the customization options which are abundant.
The Lineage OS 14.1 for Trek 2 HD is made especially for the tablet and works really well on it. The ROM is able to boot up your tablet, take calls, send SMS, use mobile data, and use Wi-Fi, camera, and video playback among a few things. So, basically everything works perfectly fine on this ROM and it is stable.
