Hello,
I am looking at sub-$100 android tablets, and am wondering if any of them are any good. I know not to expect $300-$500, but some of these things have to be alright. Which ones can you install clockwork mod and which ones have custom rom support? How would you even find that, considering how inaccurate most of the descriptions can be?
I am looking at a specific tablet, but XDA rules prevent me from posting links because I havent posted enough.
Thanks!
(yes, i have done some searching, if there are any threads i have overlooked, can someone please link to them, instead of just telling me to search?)

I have been looking around, trying to get a general idea on how to get started in the wonderful world of Android ROM development.
It seems that information is spread out amongst different sources, and that there isn't really anywhere that has all of this information together (to my knowledge at least).
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction, and or assist me in any way. It would be much appreciated! ^.^
I have been following stuff here on XDA for a while, and just finally decided to make an account. So, I apologize if this is posted under the wrong section, and/or this question has been asked a million times before. I know how annoying that can be. I searched around before I made this post, so I don't believe I am re asking a common question, unless of course I missed something.
Thank you all!
Here are couple of sources
I think these might help get you started.

Those Links are exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
Anyway, I'm glad you've found that, but notice that on future you'll have to make some research to look what you've benn looking for, about certain things at least... you can found tweaks and "how to" on devs general section, but you can also find some in device's forums... there's no one section in wich you'll find all you need while working on a ROM
I'm running baseband version from 07-15-2011
and rom Bionix Reloaded v1.4.1
Not saying I dont like it but I dont see any new roms that I can try
I really dont know know how to what cm roms are besides the name. and no idea what port roms are.
no gingerbread roms have been updated or made since last year from what I can tell by the Ref guild listed on the front of Development and im not sure how to or if it is a good idea to upgrade to ICS
any advice?
Seems like you're new to modding, I highly suggest you stay with the ROM you're running if nothing is wrong (don't fix what's not broken).
If you decide to flash other stuff,PLEASE for the sake of everyone,READ READ and READ some more. Abuse Google to find out what cm7 stands for and other terms you don't know.
Don't assume
Yeah I've got a lot of problems with the phone (most are described on"Google" as problems with this model). And like my past phones changing the Rom changes/fixes the problem because good developers know how to fix problems. Yet by the list, nothing looks new and exciting. Sorry I've only dealt with roms and rooting along with minor other things.
I believe the benefit of a forum is to be correctly informed. Info on Google may not always be up to date and or correctly relate to you. That's why I ask questions (only an idiot acts without thinking) in a forum about my phone so people with the same phone can input not disregard. Searching on this site doesn't answer basic questions. Out of all my other phones I work on this site does how ever have topics that keep me informed vs having to go over pages looking for Rom updates.
If there was another forum that specialized in my phone and was as knowledgeable I would go there. But as far as I have found, most sites just use links/content from this one.

Also, don't use the reference guide, manually go into the development forum and look around.
The reference guide tends to be outdated.
Some developers also use rootzwiki as their forum, mainly faux, so be sure to check there too.
Before I begin, I'd like to say that I do indeed have 8.3.1 firmware. I know there isn't much if any thing out for that firmware. If not, then please answer my questions under the hypothetical situation that I am running an earlier version so that I may have a better understanding of how everything works and apply that knowledge for future occasions. I know there are many other tutorials out for similar devices, but I'd like advice and tutorials as specific as possible for my device. I like details and specifics when I learn different things. I'm meticulous like that. Thank you.
Okay. Apparently I am special like the noob registration video says I am, but I am totally and utterly confused. I am no way savvy when it comes to modifying Android products in even the slightest way, and I request help even though my problem has already most likely been addressed multiple times elsewhere...
As the title of the thread says, I have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" device running the 8.3.1 firmware, but I don't know where to even begin! I am seeing terms strewn everywhere like "root", "bootloader", "twrp", "go launcher", "CM10", etc. Some hacks bundle different things together, while others require one to manually install the other components yourself whatever they may be. My question(s), as vague as it is, is what in the world do all of these mean, which ones are recommended for my device, and in which order do I install them? I have looked at many tutorials how to do different things for different devices, but they seem to fail to explain all the pre-requisites and/or all the possible alternate paths you could take to further expand on your android experience. If they do, they fail to do it layman's terms where someone like me could even understand.
With all of that said (and asked), I would like to throw out one more question. Is there indeed anything for my device yet? I searched in the device search bar, but it only recognizes the 7" device, not the 8.9". Also, as far as what generation I have if that is even a concern, I don't know how to find out. I'm aware this is probably a handful to sort out and answer, especially in such a way that won't confuse the living daylights out of me, but if one courageous soul manages to do so or at least attempt it, I will be grateful. Thank you in advance.
Hi,
I'm new to this as well, but found the posts below very helpful. HTH.

Hey everybody,
I'm totally new to this forum, and first would like to apologize if I have posted this in the wrong place. I searched for a A31 forum but couldn't find one I thought would suit this post.
Anyway,
I've recently received a Prontotec Tablet with KitKat 4.4.2.
I successfully rooted the device following instructions I found regarding the A31 processor in a forum I ran across. Woot!
My problem now is I'm not finding anything regarding a Recovery or any Roms that would be suitable for this device.
Any help you are willing to provide would be greatly appreciated.
I had posted links, but since I'm new I'm not able to post them it seems -__-'
Lemme know if there's any clarifications you need, search Prontotec on Amazon or Google and you'll see what I'm talking about
It's one of those many, low budget Chinese tablets, but its rather good considering. I'm not expecting miracles, but a point in the right direction (what other tablets are similar/or have compatible roms) would be a great start.
Thanks everyone!
I really really hope this is the right place to be asking this, I don't want to flood a place i,ve only just discovered, but I've tried to figure this out on my own and have had little luck, So some insight would be very much appreciated.
So The situation is: I have a budget tablet that came pre-installed with adware and (i think) malware. I've heard of people fixing these sort of things by "Rooting" the tablet and removing the issue. Well my tablet came Pre-rooted, so after looking around some more, i found out about Customs ROMs. Further investigation revealed that most customs ROMS don't support my kind of Tablet, Which is a Tagital (That's where the no-name comes in) T10 10.1 inch tablet. My purchase of this tablet was mostly my fault, as i bought on impulse and didn't look at the reviews at all, which blatantly expose the issues with the tablet.
Now, what I'd like to know is: Is there a way for me to apply a custom ROM even though my tablet is unsupported? I'd like to avoid returning this tablet, so i'd like to get the best out of the situation.
