i have in my possession and dodgy old android tablet.
model number - generic
firmware - 1.6
kernel version -2.6.29-00236-g4f8dbbb-dirty (really does say dirty)
build number - WMT1.9_710Cu
Now i no that its a piece of S##T.
BUT......
for the love of god has anyone cracked the thing yet.
I cant root it (it must have a magic hamster blocking it somehow.)
app market looks like it was made by windows 95. and doesn't work.
the manual says it plays a few audio/video formats (mp3,flac,avi,mp4 etc etc) but that`s just a big lie.
please please please help.
i just wanna use it as a e-reader/watch the odd movie and listen to some tunes but it wont even do that properly.
ideally. . . .
1) i wanna root it.
2) flash a new sexy rom onto it.
3) maybe read a book on it.
thanks everyone
EDIT. . . . .
in the last half hour ive managed to root the thing with z4root but cant flash rom manager as it wont tell me its generic model . . . . .grrrr

ok i have had for about 3 or 4 weeks cyanogenmod and it doesnt always pick up my email...if i go into an app while listen to music (like ip cam or even the browser) the music app crashes (just stops and when i load it up again its rest back to where i was when i loaded the music app that time) so i want to change roms
heres the details
network: t-mobile uk (dont know if that makes a difference)
model number : T-Mobile g1
firmwareversion: 1.6
baseband version: 62.50s.20.17u_2.22.19.26i
kernalversion: 2.6.29.6-cm42 shade_at_toxygene ) (the _at_ is actualy the at email symbol but i couldnt post this thread with that there)
mod version: cyanogenmod-4.2.9.1
build number: DRC83
wow thats a lot of digits!
ok so what custom kernal/firmware do you guys recommend? (i know its down to personal taste but i need an alternative, im tired of my phone being so sluggish)
the requirments i have
apps to sd (as easy as possible!)
extra home screens
thats all i really need in a kernal (the ability to go to the next track with the hangup button on my bluetooth headset would be fantastic, but i guess that will never happen )
Thank you very much in advance

Look in the dream -> android development section and pick a good one after reading about it.
Someone always posts a dump topic every week in general/q&a asking which is the best rom so you could even get an idea from those.
try updating to the newest CM rom. see if that fix's anything for you.
if not there is always Dwang, Super D which are 2 roms that are said to be pretty good
dear user be careful while playing around codes ,and don't try to update you phones touch by the code *#*#2663#*#* and don't update over wifi if it is unsuccessful then you will lost your touch forever. you have to change it ,it happens to me one time and i don't want that it will happen to you too
lol real android users/know ledge users/ devs know what to do ...
FLASH NEW BASEBAND, WORKING -.-
ya you are right but it takes time to be real android user , no one born by knowing that i will be android user and dev is dev don't talk abt that
pff google is ur friend xD
ya you are rite Google is my real friend , it tell everything and you know Google brick my phone 3 times and don't replace it .so i love Google
Hi all , im lookig for some info on a android tv box I bought a few weeks back ! First of all I want to say im relatively new to this whole notion of rooting , firmware , flashing etc etc and to be honest from reading or viewing videos im all mixed up as to where to start first ?
This box is a android b351 box , R-box is what appears on start up !
first off I noticed that the box was telling me im not connected to the net even though I was .
I tried factory reseting it but it made no difference .
I bought the box to use xbmc on it but when I installed (xunitytalk) version it seems very buggy and crashes alot or films dont play very smoothly .
I have updated my connection to a fibre powered line thinking my speeds where not up to scratch but that wasn't it ..
So after researching a bit ive learned that the box needs 1 : rooting 2roper flash/firmware 3: updating the os to 4.4 kit kat as 99% of these devices are not properly set up to run xbmc ..
Another term ive heard is kernaling it ?? I now know these things need to be done first before a proper build of the unit can commence but I dont know where to start ?
Thats where I hope someone here can help ..
Thanks..
Is their any point in posting on this forum ?
Hello you bunch of geeks android doctors !
I am the owner of and Samsung Note 4 phone & I want to talk about a problem that is frustrating me since I got the phone .I must admit I switched from and Iphone 4S to Note 4 ( to android operating sistem ) .I like the build qullity of the phone & I can say that I am very impressed with the new android 5.1.1 I never had an experience with android before .When I bought the phone it didn't had 5.1.1 but an older version .This new version of android is EPIC ,I like it a lot .It made apple look like dumbasses .THey keept braging about they'r hones and operating sistem doing all kind of **** but look android is doing it to now with 5.1.1 even better .
OK with all of that say'ed and done there are 2 problems that I found frustrating !
The first and the bigest is that I was listening to musing on my windows 7 PC with iTunes .I don't want to listen to music on no other player because this one is the best in the world period . Back in the day when I had my Iphone I could sync music to the phone ,and then while having it Jailbroken/rooted could navigate to my music library into PPPPLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAYYYYYYLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSTTTTTTT select multiple files in there or the entire playlist and share it like send the files on whatsApp / Facebook etc.
It's 2016 soon and this F.......ing android operating system didn't created an windows + phone player that could do that .I don't whana know the alternatives that you know already exist .They are crap . I need to sync music and share it period .
Curently I do something close to this I sync music with Double twist .I found this is the best ,there are alternatives I know ( Syncr ... etc . ) I then can actualy see the playlists on my phone and listen to music .But this DoubleTwist used to have an sharing option that was a scam ,directing me to by the freaking song .But now they removed it completly ! because it was cheap to think like that .So i can sync music but can't share it .Of course afther I sync this music to my phone ,syncing from iTunes PC plibrary - I can then veiw it in an other phone app " PowerAMP or Roketplayer " Roket player dosen't have a sharing option to but suprize PowerAMP has .But it has 1 problem - you can share files from playlist but you can't select only 1 file at a time ... from the playlist .Why would you make the option to share files possible and didn't made it possible to select multiple files then press SHARE ?!!! ?!!???!!! Again its the end of 2015 Android has 5.1.1 with all it's freaking magic and **** but I can't do that .
Can someone help me with this problem ? Can you create a F...ing app that can do this ?
And the second problem I'm not even going to start discuse'ing it because it's beyond you .It's about Google play services that's drayinging up my batteri life .Did everything there is on google to sold it & still didn't succeed . Whys is this happening on an top smartphone with the latest operating system " Android " . Why the F ! I still have the felling that I whana take my Note 4 and smash someone head with it ? to se how many peapole I can kill with it because it's well made and I can sure kill many ppl with it than an Iphone 6 / S and **** .But still I can't share music and my battery is draining like hell .
Great rant! :highfive:

Actually, this is my first thread but I need some help. I'm using an android device with Jellybean (4.2.2), 1.2 GHz Dual-Core CPU and 1 GB RAM. I updated Instagram to latest version exist at all (10.33.0). But I don't have the option to create live stories or even watch them! I also don't have the option to face filters . I think it is something they added to apk file. It probably detects that I have low spec phone and it hides these options . I have a theory actually. I think it is possible to mod that apk and enable these options. Because I know my phone is capable of streaming and watching them (i can watch live streams on other apps). I tried to edit apk but i couldn't . So I need someone experienced at modding apk. Can u guys help me? (Pretty Please )
Edit: I also want to say that I was able to watch streams for few hours (I did nothing). I thought it was a bug and it is fixed but then, it disappeared again.
Hi , i think this serious problem of Instagram ,I recommended see Youtube and find your solution .Its time you should contact experience man .I hope you will find solution very soon .
