Adjust CPU Governor

Due to the tablet's age, thermal throttling is aggressive. Use a kernel manager (like Kernel Adiutor) to set the CPU governor to ondemand or interactive. Do not set it to "performance" – the Snapdragon 400 will overheat and shut down. Sm-t365 Custom Rom

To begin this process, you will need:
