Dell Venue 8 Pro 5855 works perfect!
Just installed cloudready the lastest version on the tablet Dell venue 8 pro 5855.
It works great with almost all the functionalities.
Touchscreen, bluetooth, wireless are all functional.
Even the stylus is working great!
The only thing it doesn't support is the screen rotation. you have to use Ctrl+shift+F3 to manually rotate it.
I have a usb-c dock from dell too and it also works. Now I have it hooked with a external monitor.
Absolutely recommended for Venue 8 pro users.

Hi Forrest,
Thanks for your reply.
I don't see the brightness control bar in tablet mode nor in the plugged mode. There is just the volume control.
However, if I press F6 or F7 on a bluetooth keyboard, the brightness control shows up at the right bottom corner of the screen, but the actual brightness doesn't change accordingly. It either 100% or just completely shut off when slide it to the very left.
I usually keep it off, which is ok for me because I mainly use it as a chromebox.

Ah ok - yeah it sounds like the adjustment is just not working at a deeper level - even if you could access the brightness bar in the system tray, it would work the same as the F6/F7 buttons on your bluetooth keyboard.
Glad it's nothing big and that you can get some use out of the device anyway. Enjoy!

I am having difficulty installing CloudReady on my DV8P. When booting off of the USB i get a black screen, and after about a minute it makes a short sound as if it booted, i just get no video. The install USB works on other PC's that i have. Are there any tricks to installing CloudReady on the Venue 8 Pro?
