i wanted to know if an android device does not have the android market ; is it possible to put .apk files on the phone even though you do not have the android market? And can you install the apk's on the phone using a PC?
Thank you,
HTC 5588 Pure (clone) WinMobile 6.5
Whether it is possible to load Android through haret on it?
I have in console after haret run:
HaRET boot
Shutting down hardware
Turning off MMV....
In preloader
PSR=600000df
wait ~20min -> no changes..
P.S. Is any custom ROMs for htc 5588 pure (clone)
Thanks..
ROMs are created to work on specific devices. I doubt if anybody is developing for clone models!

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.

[REVIEW] Phablet/Console Much i5 (5" Quad-Core)
Note
Due to the limitations of this forum, i cannot put the full version of the review. THIS IS NOT THE FULL REVIEW ARTICLE
For the complete version of this review visit my blog .
Package contents(Unboxing y full description of the package contents)
When the package is opened, we found the following elements that, i understand, are part of any standard shipment for this product.
Much i5 Device
Quick guide
Guarantee sheet
MicroUSB cable
USB Wall charger
3550 mAh Battery
Serial number sticker
About first impression
My first impression of the device was so good. I really feel that the device materials and quality is distinct that other devices i tested.
There is lots of details that make a difference, from the device design, or the software included, or the customization made on the system, etc.
The first time you boot the device, you get a screen to register an iMuch account. This is not required really, but you can do these steps to gain access for Much services (note: most in chinese). In my tests, i remove my Much account, and i can use the device without problems.
(First boot)
There is a icon called Much Helper, that really is a quick guide to use the device, that is so interesting and helpful (this come in english), and show you in short steps the main features of the device and how to use.
Is really nice get a device like this that manufacturer take care about heir users, and provide ways to get familiar and comfortable with the device like this (and in english, a common language).
Another thing that i get may attention is that this device come with no much bloatware, and the games listed are to download from the google playstore (instead of a separated store with software from a non clear origin)
Most of this games are free, or demo versions.(and i thanks for it, because the system come with no unecessary software pre-installed)
Product information
According with the manufacturer, or searching info on web pages, we can found many sources of information about the device and sometimes these information may be not consistent (may be different from one web page to other), and this may cause some confusion for anybody that wants to get info about this product.
On this section i will post the info i get from the manufacturer (or is not possible, the web page that i consider more reliable), listing only the relevant points for a tech analysis of the product, and omit these points that don´t get any relevant info about the device (as many time we found on many pages, things such video capabilities, mail capabilities, etc, that really are software based features that we can install on the device, and not a real feature of the device itself)

ClockWorkMod Recovery (Custom Recovery)
Android have a special mode called Recovery, that is used many times to recover the device if this have problems to run properly, but there exist an alternative Custom Recovery that add a lot of new functionality and tools, and one of the most popular is one called ClockWorkMod Recovery.
There is a full functional version of this recovery that run on this device.
One of the most important features of this custom recovery, is the NANDROID generation, a way to generate a full backup of the nand (where the operating system resides) to a directory, and can be used as a recovery point for the device in case of semi-brick, or simply if you want to get a clean firmware on it.
Take note that this backup (nandroid) is a image of the NAND, this means, there will be stored all your configs, users, passwords, accounts, etc. Is a good idea to get a clean firmware insatlled on the device, and install and configure all your base programs (file admins, cloud services, google account, etc) and then get a nandroid for your personal use. When you get back to this image/backup, you will get a clean and configured system, saving lot of time on basic configurations and installing basic software.
The installation of CWM on this device is easy. For this, i follow the next thread on XDA forum:
How to install CWM on most rooted mtk devices
This method is based on Rua1 tool (a russian guy that develop a specific MTK took), and i will try to explay step by step.
First, you need the drivers ADB installed on the system. If you don´t get yet, then download and install PDANet (for windows, there is the 4.12 installer).
Then install PDANet, and when the program ask for connecting the device (USB), connect your Much.
Program will install drivers (if ask to you, select "other manufacturer" for generic drivers)
When you get installed this program, then go and download "MTK Droid Root & Tools | MediaTek Android Smartphone" ver 2.4.8 (from this thread on XDA)
Run the program. If the antivirus or firewall warning about a unknown thread, ignore it.
The program will run adb and connect with your device. No matter if you set root for ADB and Apps in System Settings, the program will inform that the device is not fully rooted. (there is a yellow rectangle)
Press ROOT button.
When finished, the rectangle will be green
(I will do a copy paste from XDA thread, because is well explained what you must to do)
Click on the tab 'root,backup,recovery' and select 'to use boot from phone' then click on 'recovery and boot' and shortly after a dialogue box will appear asking if you want to 'make cwm recovery automatically' click yes
System start to generate the CWM version.
Is possible that the tool show a dialog with a warning "ATENTION! There is a probability to damage the boot block!". Select "Yes"

About Battery
Some words i must to say about this point. This device is the first handheld gaming console that i forgive to take care constantly about battery level. In fact, using as a normal smartphone and as a gaming console, is a heavy use for me, more than my normal smartphone (i like to use a Motorola Razr), and my phone, only as phone, battery is not longer than Much device.
I don´t know how many hours it can be working, but i´m sure is enough for most of users that want a good duration.
Check the following screenshots:
These 3 screenshots was taken when i get in home, in night (well, really when i remember to take these screenshots)
The most important of these screenshots, are that the device was working as normal usage, with WIFI enabled, one SIM card enabled, and most time (when i´m in train or bus) with Bluetooth enabled (for bluetooth audio), with all normal options for a smartphone standard enabled (GPS, Vibration, etc), and most important, playing normally, and the battery, well, you can see the images. For this reason i can mention that i forgot to check constantly the battery level, to calculating how many time i can play, or anything.
And of course, the battery is replaceable, then if you really need more battery duration, simply buy another battery pack, and carry with you to replace when you go out of power.
Final words
Apologize for the mistakes i did writing in english. As many of you know, this is not my natural language, but i did my best to try to bring to you a readable and understandable article that, sincerely, i hope is useful.
And remember this is not a full article review. It is only a Summary.

The device itself deems its model number: T9703H whereas the product page deems it TS-560. It seems most likely I have been shipped the wrong tablet. In any case site search will not return matches for "turcom", or "T9703" or "T9703H".
As I do not have a windows license how can this tablet be root'd ?

Hi I have a DM08 smartwatch and I'd like to do a little more with it than as it comes as standard, I bought it from amazon and kinda wish I'd bought something a little more reliable/pliable. so far I have found no apps that work with it, the manual is very limited.
What I have found out is the following:
If I plug it in via usb to my macbook pro - I can locate mass storage which contains the section of the data on the watch that holds the photos, I'd like to find some sort of usb drivers or software to allow me to access the rest of the data on the watch so I could explore the firmware.
I can access a folder set up on my phone from connecting the watch via bluetooth that appears to contain the watch faces which are .vxp extension and also some xml files that must carry data relevant to each .vxp being that the names are similar.
I have downloaded quite a few vxp files to test out different watch faces but to my dismay most of them don't work and if they do, they don't display the hands or work correctly.
The notification sound on the watch is awful and horriblly annoying, I'd like to find a way to replace that sound file with another of my choosing so if I can find a way in maybe I can locate that file and edit it using some music software.
I haven't found any method of decompiling these .vxp files nor any method of opening them in any text editor, I have seen reports of some people managing to find some kind of sdk for them but sadly usually its only available to run on windows.
to find the watch on amazon search the following:
Yarrashop® Smart Watch,Luxurious Bluetooth 4.0 Smartwatch with Leather Straps WristWatch for Apple iphone IOS ,Android…
The specs I can find on the watch are as follows:
