I am newbie here, and planning for new android phone.
One of my friend got X10 without Android from India for few bucks less, shopkeeper said he can come again anytime to load the OS (which will be chargeable-same amount he deducted while buying). He was using his phone very well without android, unfortunately lost his phone. I really don't know what OS it was there on phone (stock or other).
My question is
1. Is it possible to get a phone without android, and if yes then what will be the OS on that?
2. Is it possible to flash/load Android (suitable to that specific device) on such device by our self?
Thanks in advance.
I think your friend got one of the infamous counterfeit phones.
Perhaps it had the Chinese ripoff version of Android on it.

A friend just bought a tablet here in China preloaded with Android 2.1. Its setup to be used in China, which has given me problems in the past on my Android phone. Is there anyway to go about updating it to the new version of Android and maybe even getting rid of the Chinese app store and adding flash support (right now it says the device doesn't support it, even though it looks like it meets requirements)? You guys have been helpful in the past so thanks in advance for any advice.

Did you try connect the Onda-Vi10 customer service?
How about they said solve about this... In China, i remember my friend told me they also improved the Android at a fast speed.
Hello.
I've searched a little and basically every thread says that android on fake iPhones are not possible. But this phone (soPhone V3) is said to run Android 2.2, but on videos it looks just like every other chinese OS.
Does anyone have this phone?
Can I switch the existing Android (it if actually have it) on it to another like .. other android ROMs (i have no real knowledge of which versions there is).

I guess. I've since this thread been looking at the GooApple 3G. It seems to be the most "stand out" (discussed) phone (iphone clone with android).
Im very sorry if this doesn't go here but since I couldn't find any forum related to custom-built phones I gave it a shot.
Ok the thing is I recieved a Custom-made android phablet a few months ago. It's a model made by a non-technological company in a political stunt to promote better education in Puerto Rico and to "modernize the classroom environment and how class is taught." And even though only public schools (I go to private) had these benefits I managed to get a hold of one and after months I decided to try it.
But the ugly truth is These "phablets" are just a somewhat mediocre 2011-12 technology with a custom android 4.3 slapped on top. The downside is that the Android version doesn't come with any of google's services and apps and because of it being custom-built No apps are compatible with it.
I managed to download the Google now and chrome apks but they don't run/aren't compatible.
After all that backstory What I mean to ask is:
-Is it possible to activate google apps and services from the phone without taking out it's original version? (After all it's running Jellybean)
If not:
-Is it possible to root the phone and flash another version of android that's a bit more "supportive" of apps?
Or do you simply have any other ideas as of how can I make it a normal android phablet? Im planning on giving it to my little brother after fixing it up.
Thank you in advance and again, I'm sorry if I posted this where it doesn't belong.
Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this but I have a smartphone i wanted to upgrade.
Alcatel A502DL which has Android 8.1 which is like horrendously basic. Was wondering the best process to upgrade. If I got to root it thats fine. I know a bit about computer software, but know very little with actual code programming other than basic copy/paste.
It's a phone I mostly would like to have on Wifi and if I can also get it unlocked (cant unlock from the service provider due to it needing to be on their service for x amount of time) to run it off of a Mint Mobile plan as well.
Looking for the best Android OS, if it can handle Android 11 or if 12 is out that would be great. The phone can be used for testing the new OS. Also got a Samsung Galaxy J3 Achieve that needs unlocked as well (same situation as the Alcatel phone) because I wanted to use that on Mint Mobile as well.
