You can overclock your phones CPU. Just search for the how tos for your device.
think of a dvd player can u change what your watching with one without physically changing the disc inside the machine

Viagra doesn't make it bigger. It makes it harder.
Answer: You can overclock your CPU. Your device must be rooted, and you can use SetCPU to do so. To root your phone, download Universal Androot from market, and run it. Download SetCPU from HERE and put it in your memory card. Then download and install ASTRO File Manager from market, run it, search the SetCPU.apk on your SD Card, install it. Open SetCPU and play with it.
Warning: I highly doubt you will be able to root it. But good luck anyways.
I have been living in China and have been having a difficult time finding a decent phone here. Seems that most of the phones end up being clones. A while ago I bought a phone off taobao.com for 1000 RMB (about $150 US).
Anyhow; the phone looks really slick and the hardware seems to be quite nice, but it is obviously a clone. The phone works quite well except for the fact that the Google Play Store does not work at all (I have tried manually adding the most recent Google Play Store apk and that seems to make no difference).
What I am hoping for is that someone can point me in the right direction to where I can go to download a ROM for this phone, or to modify the existing stock ROM.
I ran AnTuTu Benchmark v2.4 and these are the specs it gave me:
Phone Model: HTC ONE S
Brand: HTC
CPU hardware: Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8660
CPU model: ARMv7 Processor rev2 (v7l)
Screen resolution: 540x960
Android version: 4.2.1
Build number: Dual CORE 1.5GHz HTC ONE S ROM 4G+RAM 1GB_FOR AT&T
Linux version 3.0.13
I originally tried a ROM for the HTC ONE S, but it didn't work.
It has ClockworkMod Bootloader on it but it is a weird Chinese version. I tried to put an English version of CWM on but that did not seem to work either.
I chatted (in Chinese that was not very good) with the technical support of the place that sold me the phone to get the stock ROM.
Sum up:
Where do I go to find a ROM for this phone? or what other info about the phone do I need to know to know which rom I can download?
If I can't find a rom to download, is there any way I can hack the existing stock rom to make the Google Play store work?
EDIT: Just downloaded the Phone Tester App and here are some more stats about the phone:
Device
Brand: HTC
Manufacturer: SAMI
Model: HTC ONE S
Product: HTC
CPU: ARMv7 Processor rev 10 (v71)
RAM: 473MB
OS
Version: IML74K
Release 4.2.1
Kernel: 3.0.13
SDK: 15
Firmware: eng.andrew.134276301
Lets see a pic? Amazing that they would "clone" the phone yet build with the same specs. In my employer's experience, the "clones" of our products are often built by the same people that build them for us, i.e. our products go out the front door, while the extras go out the back...
EDIT, a little googling shows the MSM8660 is the "S3" variant...odd that it also reports 1.5Ghz which is usually an indicator of the S4, but try heading over the the dev section and see what's listed under [S3]...there isn't much, but some work is being done with a Sensation dev to bring Viper ROM to the S3.
The Android 4.2.1 report is also odd as even the latest JellyBean based CM10 is only at 4.1.1. China is a freaky place for understanding technology.
As I understand it, the Google Play store is only supposed to work on phones that conform to a certain standard, i.e. Android is open source, but the Google Apps have restrictions. Have you tried flashing an entire Gapps package from goo.im...maybe you're also missing some google account stuff that comes along with the Gapps?
You should also remove the IMEI from your post. It's not relevant and can be used by bad people for bad things.

Thanks for the reply. I took some photos just now and attached them... hopefully they help solve the riddle to what this phone actually is.
One sketchy aspect of this phone is how much storage space it has. It looks like it has 4GB or memory; 1GB is partitioned to use for installing apps which leaves 3GB that has been partitioned as the SDCARD. When I put an actual sdcard in, it shows that I have two sdcards.

Yeah... I think the actual version is 4.0. Not sure how they got the 4.2 unless that have some sort of secret society going on (which they probably do... just not with Google). Notable things that don't work: The Play Store, Voice commands, Face unlock (renders the phone useless when you do this... had to do a factory reset), and CWM Backup... which reminds me... I should take some pictures of CWM.
I have tried flashing Gapps, but it really didn't change anything. Still could not use the Play Store. The only difference I noticed when adding Gapps is that when I would hold the power button, it only showed the options for Power Off or Reboot. Before I added Gapps it also had the option for Airplane mode. I tried modding the ROM a bit but every time I added or left out APKs it made it so that the ROM would not flash (my understanding of modding ROMs is next to nothing).
You should also remove the IMEI from your post. It's not relevant and can be used by bad people for bad things.

Thanks for the heads up. Thought about that as I put it on... Not really sure what the IMEI is, but I no longer have it listed.
Crazy! I wonder if it's actually a Sensation or similar? The little things like the misaligned beatsaudio logo are funny. Looks to me like it's not running Sense, but likely a CM variant (the status icons look right) with some sort of clock app to make it look like Sense (the AOSP Gallery, etc also give it away). BTW, they just added the "dual core" stuff to the build line, so it doesn't mean anything at all...I think the S3 is an overclocked single core?
Don't know much about it, but I've heard of an app called "Market Enabler" that some people need to use in other countries...could just let them download US apps though.

That is a good suggestion. I bought a tablet here, and that actually solved a problem for that tablet. Actually; my girlfriend has a tablet and another HTC fake clone. On those, the play stores worked, but didn't show all the apps. The Market Enabler (I think I actually use the Market Unlocker, but have tried both) solves that problem.
The problem with the Play Store on my phone is that it just will not load at all.
I have also tried VPNs thinking that might help solve something, but no VPN will connect on my phone. Seems a bit suspicious because I have an older HTC phone that I brought from America and using all the same VPNs work just fine on that phone.
Here are some more pictures. It shows the ROM I am flashing from the "CWM-Based Recovery."
One other thing I should note. I went to an actual HTC store here to compare this phone with a real HTC One S, and this one looks very close, but is a bit thicker.
I wish we could swap out our battery lol.

The real HTC One S does not let you swap out the battery? I guess that is what having a thin phone does for you. I think we can all thank apple for that one.

Yeah, on the real one, only a little part comes off the top of the back, maybe 1/3 of the back, to reveal the microsim and no SD slot.
Why don't you buy phones from Meizu or Xiaomi? i guess they are a little bit more expensive but at least you have a very good support from devs community. Buy a clone phone for $150 is kind expensive to me. :good:

My sister bought a clone of an iPhone and the store never worked. This was because it was nothing more than a phone, some preinstalled games and a dialer. I wouldn't be surprised to find that your phone doesnt even run android, but instead something that looks like android.

I can upload and install apk files just fine, so I think it really is Android. There are some Chinese replacement markets that I can use like the Play Store, but I don't really like any of them (nor do I trust any of them).
Interesting photos..
The flash is on the other side of the camera,
The little speaker (or mic?) next to the camera isn't there on the Ville,
The HTC logo is an outy instead of an inny.

Good question. I doubt it. For me to get into recovery mode, I have to hold down the Volume up with the power button (I think the real phone is supposed to be volume down).
Once I am in recovery mode I get the following options for reset:
Reboot - (this reboots the phone)
Recovery - (this reboots into recovery)
Fastboot (BootLoader) - (this appears to not work as it just reboots my phone)
I honestly don't know much about S-Off (had to look it up when you wrote). It seems like I can check the status in hboot, but I don't know how to boot my phone to that. I tried volume down and power but that didn't do anything.
Is there another way to check to see if I am in S-Off?
Thanks.
EDIT: I just downloaded a program to boot my phone into the bootloader. Tried it on a real HTC phone and it worked fine. Didn't work on this phone. My suspicion is that there isn't even a bootloader. I think S-Off is an HTC thing... which apparently, a fake HTC is not HTC.
Just found a review of my phone here!

What do you mean? How can I get the files from 4shared? I just want to know which ROM I can download that would work. Normal ROMs for the HTC One S don't work.
I have a 7" Proscan PLT7223G, CPU: Rockchip RK2928 1.008Ghz, GPU: Mali-400 MP dual core by ARM running Android jellybean 4.1 with Google Play in it.
(Not letting me post a url, but if you google "PLT7223G manual" you'll get a page where there's a firmware and pdf manual ready to download.)
This is a cheap device (the one I could afford till I buy a better one) that I bought from walmart and I would love to root this device but so far have found no help anywhere on the internet. I know an expensive device has many users and more chances of being rooted, but is it possible to root this fairly obscure one?
I am fairly comfortable with using Android SDK and JDK or any one-click installer.
Can any one help and/or point me to the right direction? It's overwhelmingly info-rich and confusing for an android newbie like me around here :S
I would be super super grateful if anyone can help me root this one.
Thanks guys.

Go here then:
http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/
If you need help installing adb driver try www.snappea.com. Just install on Pc, then when program prompts you connect phone to PC with USB Debugging enabled and it will take care adb driver for you.
I purchased the same tablet PLT-7223G-4K from Woot two weeks ago.
I can confirm that Cydia Impactor will successfully drop SU into /system/xbin. From there, I was able to get a # root prompt in ADB shell and do whatever I pleased. (Thanks to the persons above me for pointing that out, I was getting a little frustrated with this thing.)
I can also say that the generic Google USB Driver will work for connecting to this tablet. I am running Windows 7 SP1 x64 and had just updated the Android SDK prior to trying various methods to root the tablet.
If you need any more specific information, I would be happy to help, since I have the exact same tablet and purchased it for the express purpose of poking it with sticks.
Success!
@Klown80 and @jfmajo Thank you very much! I've successfully rooted the device with cydiaimpactor without a single hitch. Got SU through adb shell and all! . Took less than 5 minutes!
Am loving this tablet now! It's actually quite fast and smooth now that I've been using it much.
Next stop: how to remove bloatware and make my inexpensive device even faster and show it off to my friends who got expensive ones eh!! Any suggested readings? Please do share!

+1 confirm for this method of root.
I've got the PLT7223G-K8G, It also runs on rk2928 This version has a 8gb flash and suppose to be clocked at 1.2ghz (more on that in a sec)
Got this at walmart blackfriday came with a KB case, suppose to be a Christmas present for my sister but I wanted to test it out
before giving it to here, I Just got into android my self 2 week ago.
Anyway I used I ran SRT appguard and it said it was vulnerable to 9695860 & 9950697
I tried detecting device in Cydia Impactor but it just said "requested resource not available" file missing?
So I used this USB driver here: ** Wont let me post links / See attached picture**
Cydia Impactor rooted successfully in about 30seconds, Funny srt appguard was still running and complained but it went thru anyway lol
Installed SU, all is good.
I was running WinXP x64
I could not find a firmware download for my particular model.. although you can find a list here:
** Wont let me post links / See attached picture**
Here's a list of firmwares for the 7223g model line
** Wont let me post links / See attached picture**
Now as for my particular model, I would not have bothered rooting it since it was suppose to be a gift however it has 2 problems.
1. The device is suppose to run at 1.2ghz.. mine is locked to a range of 800-1000 (awesome range huh?)
2. The governor seems to be really messed up.. no matter what type of load I put on it I could not get it to crawl out of 800mhz.
So I rooted to get Cpu tuner installed and working.. So now I've got it properly scaling ot 1ghz but that's still not right.
I've emailed CS but im not expecting much given the price and judging from their poor support on their website.
Debating if this shouldn't just go back to the store.
EDIT: Oh ya one more thing.. These tablets do not have a volume rocker.. just power button.. thought that was kinda on unusual other tablets I've seen all had volume buttons, I know that's usually how you boot them up into recovery.
EDIT2: LOL Well, dont bother emailing support.. I've tried twice both times bounced back fialure to deliver.
First time I thought it was because of the screen shot I attached, but 2nd one came back also.
Takes about a day for it to come back though, to lazy to look at the headers which are epic long.
Give them a call monday, probably gonna just return this tablet though.
EDIT3: Well I just realized the phone number is to Canada which counts as international on my cell.
So .. sent a email to their sales email hopefully that one don't get bounced.. If It does im probably gonna return it.
EDIT4: Ok sales address also bounces back, so both the email addresses on their site are borked.
EDIT5: Took it back for a refund, It developed a problem with charging on the 3rd cycle, it said it was 100% but the battery was flat dead and would turn off soon as I unplugged it.
I think the battery was bad I noticed it was warm right before this happen even when not doing anything..
To bad, tablet actually felt pretty solid in the hand.
Won't Show Up
I can't seem to get my Proscan to show up, I have all proper drivers installed, USB Debugging enabled, but it still doesn't show up

Use app guard to check and see if the device is vulnerable to 8219321 or 9695860
If it is then Cydia Impactor will likely root it.
I posted how I did it on the proscan I had 2 posts up.
Should be same process if your device is vulnerable to either of those security flaws.

wondering how hard it would be to get a working custom recovery, would have to be something touch without keys, probably like TWRP. wouldnt mind doing some theme for this device.

I think this is the only thread on the device.. or at least the biggest.
My unit was suppose to be a present for my sister.. but it turned out to be trash.. at least my particular one was
CPU was capped at 1ghz not 1.2.. broken governor never let the cpu get above 800mhz (lowest freq)
and battery quit taking a charge on 3rd cycle (despite it saying it was 100% charged.. it was a lie)
Support is basicly non existent for proscan, some units don't even have firmwares on their website, support/sales email addresses just bounce stuff back.
Ended up returning it and getting a azpen a700 from micro center for 40 bucks, smaller outfit but at least they have something resembling support.
android 4.2.2, technically inferior ot the proscan I had but since the unit I had was garbage I guess that's moot.
It's surprisingly snappy for what it is Allwinner a13 @ 1.2ghz, kernel allowed up to 1.5ghz but the unit I got was unstable even at 1250 so they must run those tabs at the ragged edge of stability, no issues at 1.2 though.
If you got a good proscan I graduate you, The one I had actually felt very solid and good in the hand.
Slightly above average screen for cheap tabs.
I updated my proscan plt-7223g with the firmware from curtis international now i dont have touch capability or internet connection. I'm still able to navigate with the keyboard. What i'm asking is if anyone has the stock image or stock firmware for it? It would awesome to get it back to out of the box state.

thanks i got my kids tablet rooted this way proscan plt7223g.. i want to installed a custom rom now any idea on speeding this tablet up ?
Hi,
This thread will probably die unanswered, but if you think you can help me identify my phone, you're amazing.
I got this phone by buying it from a friend of a friend. Not a good way to start off, I know.
The reason I first wanted to identify it was to find a custom ROM. But I've now understood that this may never happen.
Things I know for sure about the phone:
It has 4G
It has 2 SIM slots
Charge is done through normal micro USB
There is 1 micro SD slot
It has "3D Sound" (if that's any helpful)
It has 1 back and 1 front camera
It has an audio jack (definitely not the iPhone 7)
It runs Android 4.4.4
Things that don't really help
The brand: "Zuka" -> didn't give many results on Google. I did a reversed search by taking a picture, a Chinese reselling website showed up. I can't post links yet.
The sticker behind the phone's battery. It displays 2 IMEIs. I've checked both but it turns out they're probably fake, because the results corresponded to old LG flip phones. I'm not sure what to trust at this point!
I cannot post the Chinese website link unfortunately. It gives info about the processor, memory etc. (1.66GHz eight-core, 2GB RAM, 4800mAh power...)
Anyway, that's probably all the info I can give. If I forgot something, ask me! Sorry if my English is bad, I'm French!
If you have an hypothesis of what this phone is, post it below!
Thanks!
You could try to get more info by installing some hardware identification app from play. If you're rooted you can also check the build.prop for more info.

There should be a model number to identify it but from what you're describing it sounds like a clone, which means it actually can't truly be identified as "that" or "this" device.
The reason why it has misleading IMEI information is probably because, as I said, it's a clone which means it was not manufactured by a typical manufacturer(where it would get its own IMEI and model number), it has probably had the IMEI from another device written to it.
You're right, you'll probably never find anything to get a clear picture of what it is or what you can do with it.
In my opinion, I'd put in a junk drawer and get another device that CAN be identified.

Thanks for your answer
That's close to what I was thinking of. This phone has nothing official. On the sticker where I found those 2 misleading IMEIs was a line saying "S/N: Zuka". That's it... No serial number whatsoever.
Not to mention I don't have any package coming with that phone, of course
Anyway, I'll keep using it for now because it works, has 4G, a decent battery life, and is rooted! :good:
I'm in Hong Kong right now and would like to be able to use VOLTE. Both models are on sd835, but the g9550 has 2 extra gigabyte of ram and dual SIM, also the modem might be different too. So I'm not too sure if this is possible.
seems no one has answered you as of yet. I am currently investigating to see if some parameters of devices rom could be edited. Not sure as of yet, but, will have an answer for you soon enough. will keep in touch.

Definitely not possible, completely different partition tables and the Chinese variant has some extra CDMA and LTE band support to be used in China only.

Actually, China used the GL CP for an earlier firmware it has. Ive been seeing a lot of "cant do's," on this forum and am amazed at how people has set everything to be IMPOSSIBLE. I and another person thats part of these forums have been secretly investigating and am coming up with ideas on how to do things. you are correct as China uses only 2g and 3g on their basebands but are incorrect as to it not being able to work. Research and dig and dig and dig and you will then find the answer. And although my posts and thanks are low does not mean i am a noob. Name change to create a better name for myself with more logic and optimism to contribute what others may feel wont happen. Thank you and have a good evening and its not an attack but a formal gesture to do a bit more research before claiming not possible= impossible.

To answer this question, "YES." Yes it is possible to flash the US version AP, CP( it works but has its issues and wouldn't recommend it) CSC should be able to install. !!NOTE!! Please do not attempt to flash BL as it has different settings scripted into it such as ram, storage,etc. G9550/128gb6gb ram G955U/64gb/4gb ram.
Also Note that if G9550 with G955U firmware boots properly, it has been said to be a bit choppier than normal. What is recommended is using the G955U1 firmware. Also, same as above is ONLY able to be flashed and updates with either version have to be done manually, I, have not tried this myself as i am in the process of this attempt. It has been discussed in foreign forums and has been done.
Please do not attempt if you are unable to come out of a brick or soft brick. I am in no way responsible if you mess up your phone. Good luck
tried flashing through normal odin and a no go. trying the modified Odin,but, before i do further readings say the AP and others have to be slightly modded. will look into this more once i finish up here.
Volte probably won't work if the carrier only supports g9550 though, yeah? Would probably give it a go on the weekend. Cheers.
