JXD S18 Mini Pad Questions - General Questions and Answers

Just received my JXD S18 Mini Pad and was wondering what ROM I can install on it.
It's running Ice Cream Sandwhich, Version 4.0.4
This device is already rooted, so that is not neccesery.
Is it possible to install Cyanogen mod on this device?
Are there custom ICS 4.0.4 roms with less bloat?
If I install a custom ROM e.g. Cyanogen mod, will the tablet still be rooted??

heres mine

Hello, I'm quite new to android and
I was wondering if the skelrom for jxd s601would be compatible with my JXD S18 tablet version 01? Because I have been looking for a custom rom for my JXD S18, and sad to say that can't find any. I find using the S18 with the jxd provided firmware a hassle as the battery drains very fast. I'm looking for 3 or 3.5 hours (minimum) to 4-4.5 or even 5 hours (maximum). And since the S601 is very similar to the S18 in terms of specs, perhaps i can use this rom as a base for me to modify into something for the s18, or even use it directly on my s18. Any ideas? Thanks & Regards,

Is there a way to add a change apps button?
Hello.
Does anybody know a way to add the virtual button for overview / switch between apps and selecting which ones to close, so you release some RAM? I uploaded 3 images to show there's no overview button on the home screen.
I recently bought a S18 tablet from a small store in Bogotá and despite being so limited in functions, RAM and battery life it's not that useless, at least it's good to read some texts and listening to music (I just installed AIMP, which i consider as the best offline audio player for Android).

[Q] Custom ROMs on Tablets

Is it possible to install a custom ROM on a tablet that is NOT listed on many of the sites listing customs ROMs for cell phones or on the app ROM Manager list? Is there a way to compare a cell phone ROM (native OS?) with a tablet ROM?
Is there a way to install Android 2.2 (Froyo) on a tablet running 2.1 (Eclair) w/out installing a custom ROM?

You can't install a cell phone rom on a tablet. If you do.. then something bad will happen. You would probably have to wait for the official froyo update for your tablet since you wouldn't want a custom one. If you did, then you could get froyo the unofficial way. And for the cell phone rom.. you would have to be a developer/hacker to modify it (key mapping, resolution, etc.) and customize it to make it able to run on your tablet.
Ugh. Wished I'd have asked two days ago! Wasted hours stumbling around websites. No hope of an official update for the SmartQ T7.
What do you mean, ..."get Froyo the unofficial way"?
Oh, and thanks for saving me more hours and a bricked tablet.

Glad I helped. Anyways by getting it the unofficial way, is to get a custom built rom from a developer, but the bad news is that your device is not a category around here so no developer would publicly make a custom rom for it here.

How to force ICS to tablet mode?

Hello every1. My question is quite simple and I have searched for it for quite a while now.
I have a chinese 7" tablet with 800 x 480px resolution using 240dpi, ICS is in phone mode. Model: FreeLander PD10 Deluxe.
My question is, how can I force ICS to use tablet mode? I love the tablet statusbar, that is the only reason I want this.
Please can anyone help me with this?
You need to change its dpi to less tham 213 i think. If your rooted there are apps on the market to do it
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
you can search for a custom rom which supports tablet mode and/ or pm a dev for whom it would be easy to fix it
Changing dpi works, but also try to find if there is a PARANOID Android for yours tablet, I don't know if they are doing it for small tablets too. Else just change dpi. Look there. I think this app will work on every rooted device.
Okay so actually the solution was 120 dpi, half of the original one.
Unfortunately there is no custom ROM for this tablet and I do not know how to port roms
Could any1 help me with that?
128 is the limit for tablet UI, i also looking the same. The tablet is fine and speedy but takes minutes to boot.

Have you searched for parandroid rom in your device section...

Rom: CodeBox 1.4.0 Unofficial

If you like my post please hit thanks button...
Too bad but for my device, there is no Custom ROM yet.
this is my device: http://devdb.ru/freelander_pd10_deluxe
There is no custom rom yet, and even the CWM has been ported a few days ago, it's not a new device, but not much people have it. I would love to get some help with porting CM10 or Paranoid Android to it...

Hey mate I'm leaning to compile ROMs ...
I will make my first CM ROM for my SG s2 then I will definitely will look yours ...
ROM : CodeBox 1.8.5 Official
Kernel : Horsepower 3.1.0 - Fuss
I'm working on a custom rom....
But my usb conector is dead (my kid kick it), so the develepoment will be a little slow.
So far i have ported some of the xperia apps... (launcher, widgets, keyboard). works very nice even at 240 dpi.
Well my usb is broken, so i can't continue (until i manage to solder it). but the only missing part is systemui (the menu button don't show so i wan't ala nexus solution)
if i set qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in build.prop. The button bar appears, but it's layout is not the standar android layout, with apktool i try to change the status bar and navigation panel with the aosp ones, but it crashed...
Maybe if someone can continue and port a standar system ui, (status bar on top, navigation on bottom), i will really apreciate it, to complete my work.

[q] [rom] [4.2] chuwi v10

How much does it cost to develop ROM (android 4.2), especially cyanogenmod 10.1? To be able to carry it in tablet "CHUWI V10" (10.1 "-quadcore-2gb ram-Allwinner A31).

hey there,
so i managed to get 4.2.2 off the official chuwi forum.
1. If you don't have it yet, here is PhoenixSuit to flash it (let it update, it'll work faster)
2. click on the anchor and point to this file on your PC (it's Android 4.2.2, not rooted, i'm working on that)
3. power off your tablet
4. press and hold volume up (+)
5. connect usb cable
6. press on power button multiple times untill PhoenixSuit asks if you want to flash - IT WILL DO A COMPLETE FLASH OF YOUR TABLET, not the memory card, if you have one.
7. Enjoy Android 4.2.2 with longer battery life, no youtube crashes and better gaming performance
I'm discussing with Christian Troy, dev for tablets, to help port 4.3 or even 4.4 kitkat.
hope this helps and don't forget the thanks button
Great!!!
It workshop soooo good!!! Thanks
hello i need the rom for my v10 !! but the links is not good.
someone can upload it again ?
many thanks !!
Hi there!
Well, I'm gonna have to look to see what happened to the files... I don't own the V10 anymore and forgot about this thread.
I'll get back to you with a response either way.

New rom doubt

Hello, I have a samsung Y tv with its stock rom with android 2.3.6. I found a custom rom with android 4.2.2 and I installed it hoping that I could download the apps that I could not download with the 2.3.6 version, but I could not anyways. I imagine that its not a problem with the android, but one with the hardware, am I right?

i assume the play store is saying your device is not compatible with the apps you want?
it could be hardware, but most likely software.
its difficult to some times not possible to make apps work with every version of android ever made, so there is usually a cut off as to how far back it will work. this information is frequently posted with the app, but not always. look near the bottom.
usually will say something like "requires android 4.4 or newer" but the backwards compatibility varies from app to app. one might be compatible back to 3.0 where another might be only 5.0 and up.

Can i update my desire s?

Newbie here! Hi! My question is. Had a desire s sitting in a drawer for ages because the battery wasn't holding a charge. Bought a new battery, but its running really slow even after i did a factory reset. Are there any new updates i could download for it please? Its currently running android 4.0.4 TIA for all and any help!
Look at the Desire S Android Development. There are a lot of good ROM choices. Just need to be S-Off or have an unlocked bootloader plus a Custom Recovery installed like TWRP or CWM. If you do then you can choose between the ROMs available. There are a ton of it. Just need to try which one fits the best for you.
I'm currently using Sagasation V2.0. I just removed the Samsung stuffs in the ROM even the Launcher and installed Nova. I also did some CPU Overclocking. I can say this is the best ROM I've ever tried. Really fast and can stand to be a daily driver. It's Jellybean 4.2.2 by the way.
Thanks! Will give it a go!
