Need help identifying a no-name brand to a name brand

If possible I want to know if anyone can identify h t t p : / / w w w .chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/evolution-windows-mobile-smartphone-32-inch-touchscreen/ to another brand name phone.
Main reason is to check which if any ROM's i'm able to run on it.
I'm interested in running Manila based ROM's and normal WM6.5 WM7.0(future) ROM's with it.
It has
■Processor: Marvell PXA 310 624MHz + NXP 5209 (104MHz)
■Screen: 3.2 inch WQVGA/Touchlens
■Wi-fi: Yes (IEEE802.11/bg)
■Bluetooth: Yes (2.0)
■GPS: Yes (SiRF Star III GPS Chipset)
■Memory
- ROM: 256 MB (106MB Usable)
- RAM: 128 MB
- External memory: 2GB micro SD/TF card included (Supports up to 16GB TF Card
■Camera: 3.0MP + Macro Focus
■Video Camera
And currently runs WM6.1 Pro
CE OS 5.2.20758 (build 20758.1.4.1)
Any help in the right direction would be appreciated as I don't want to brick my smartphone.

you wont be able to run custom roms on it unless someone builds a kitchen for it.

Does anyone else have a similar device and flashed it allready?

[Q] TechPad 7" Tablet upgrade from android 1.6 to 2.1

Hello,
I bought The TechPad 7" Tablet with android 1.6 from chinavasion.
Is it possible to upgrade to android 2.1?
If yes would it be slow?
As it is now video performance is not good!(tried almost every player)
Specs: arm11 800mhz cpu, 256MB ram, 1GB rom, (i discovered it is actually 2GB),
wi-fi ,7" 800x480 lcd screen etc.
Thank You.

me too
I believe in very others locking for this, me too. Please if anybody to find it answers us. Thanks

I had some initial success with putting Android 2.1 from JetPlatform-experimental-binary-100624-2.6.29.tar.gz or JetPlatform-0.3pre1-binary.tgz while retaining the original linux kernel 2.29 on the inbuilt 1GB card. To do that I had to open the device.
Some things were not working 100% correctly with the new android so I put back the original card. 2.1 was faster than the 1.6, but home screen was blinking from time to time.
Also my chinavasion model did not had volume buttons, so I added them from an old Lexmark printer, pictures here: slatedroid . com/index.php?topic=7344.0 (scroll to page 15).
PS>Did you notice some software upgrades on this page: download . chinavasion . com ?,
look for device code PC07, some users said the wifi update is helpful.

as for the video, use mp4 to allow for the inbuilt hardware acceleration. Follow the howto by tenzen2, can be found here: dealextreme . com/forums/Default.dx/sku.41984~threadid.730189

Yeah I had same problem with android 1.6, got from chinavasion. Its dead slow. I wonder its not possible to upgrade and if it is, i wonder if its clarity and performance will be good?. I have a new android 2.1 directly got from ChinaBuye. It has faster and clarity is excellent. So upgrading will not be effective. I find rate is also quite low here, and buffering is faster. Check with chinabuye if you decide to get new 2.1 android.

[Q] Flashing of Chinese MTK6516 phones

Hi,
I have Chinese clone with MTK6516 chipset (Smasung i9000 mini). I need to flash a new ROM to this phone to fix some problems. I have all the SW I need, but I'm having problems to connect the phone to my PC.
The only information on flashing the phone I found was on some Chinese forums. If I understood it correctly I need a cable with USB on one end and 3,5mm jack on the other side. I could do such cable by myself, but I need to know the pinout. Do you have any information regarding this?

Anyone here??? I want to know the same too.

I asked the supplier and they told me that I need to have a special cable. So I ordered it and it should be on it's way. I expect to receive it next week.

What is the cable ?

It's a special cable with USB and miniUSB connectors. But there is some electronics attached to the USB connector, it's not just a cable.
If you connect it to a computer, it creates a virtual COM port.

Where I can buy it ?

For example here, but it's quite expensive.

A8000 Led Light Working?
Whoever has one of these phones, have you been able to use the led camera light as a flash light? None of the apps on the market work. I know for like the A5000 or related phones, you have to change the camera lib files, but would they work for A8000? I just dont want to brick my phone.
Right now all I have is rooted, nothing else has been done, no backup or nothing because I don't know what program to back up stock rom. If anyone reads this, thanks for the help!

[Q] Maybe someone cah help and point me in the right direction!

Hi
I have a question. It is to do with a Chinese Mobile phone. Branded "European Phone 5" it is an Apple iPhone clone. It claims to have 32 Gig memory but I can only see 84 MByte. There are no Apps Download facility and or Marketplace.
The specifications include:
32 Gig
Dual SIM
Analogue TV (With Ariel)
FM Radio
Bluetooth
WiFi
GSensor (Which I cannot get to work)
It has Java installed but again, it does not run.
Connectivity side, even though I have WiFI enabled and connected through my router, it still insists on internet access through GPRS only (So why have WiFi)
The reason for this post is these are becoming ever popular devices in Europe and need someone far cleaver then me to manipulate,
I do not know the Processor, Radio or OS of this device. I presume some form of Windows (UGH) because of Java, but cannot be sure. There is no website for the device and no markings inside except for two EIME Numbers for the SIM's External markings are:
Apple Logo
iPhone
32 Gig
Designed bt Alooc in Celifaci Acimbled on China
Model NO:C1203 pcc ID: BCCA1203 Serial No.: 7572740SNH8
I have successfully Rooted my HTS Kaiser and run Android 2.2 (Froyo) successfully on it. I am comfortable with Rooting mobile devices but I need somewhere to start.
If anyone can help - that would be great.

I have since been able to correct the problem of English icons, I have also found that it is a I5 not an I5S. However the phone will not send SMS/text messages (the SIM card has credit and works in another phone)...as anyone else had this problem? Thanks.
