[Q]Custom Rom for MT6577 phone of same specs - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
Have been reading and back reading for quite some time already ever since I got this android phone from back a month ago. Phone specs are as follows : O+ 8.9 Android (ICS 4.0.4) 2 GHZ MT6577 CPU 512 RAM and 4GB internal memory with 8GB SD card. 5MP rear camera and unknown front cam resolution. It has all the bells and whistles, able to run and download apps smoothly, have it rooted and flashed CWM 6 afaik.
My main concern here is that its advertised as upgradeable to Jelly Bean and have asked from manufacturers support page how soon we could get jelly bean with no luck. I've been trying to get different custom roms, but I fear that the bootloader is locked therefore 'am unable to do any custom roms. I don't care what special rom features so as long as I could get jelly bean and run it. I'm sure I can tweak it to my taste and mod from scratch if need be. So my question is are there any "Similar" same spec'd phones that have a stock or custom rom with jelly bean on it that I can experiment on? keeping in mind I have MT6577, dual core and 512 of ram, then I'll be one happy used. Hope someone get's to reply on this thread as I've noticed users aren't that accommodating on these forums. I've been a forum member/moderator on various forums whether gaming, modding etc. But so far this is a new scene to me and I'm doing my best to cope up with the technology, but clearly someone needs to help us with the ropes on here otherwise, people can just call noob on everyone.
Thanks in advance and would do my best to contribute here as well.

Hi,

Hi, Which sub forum should i be directing this question?

Hi, totally new to this technology so i'm learning from here onwards.
I have a Fusion 5 extra v2 10.1 tablet running Jellybean 4.1.1 ( purchased through amazon.co.uk)
with the following specs
Product Description
Operation System Android 4.1.1
Processor Rockchip3066 Cortex A9 1.5G; Dual Core
Processor Speed 1.4Ghz
Memory 1GB DDR3
Hard drive 16GB
Display 10"TFT HD Capacitive touch screen,1024*600
WIFI 802.11b/g/N
TF Support Micro SD / T-Flash, Max 32GB
Battery 6400mAh
I'm looking to root it, and possibly flash it with a custom rom.. ( all dependant on what options I have)
I don't usually like asking for help first as I like working things out, but i would just like a little nudge in the right direction would be appreciated
When loking into rooting this and backing up and updating the OS which sub forum should i be reading? the android one? or could my tablet be a re-badged other type.. ( and if so, what's the best way of finding out)
If the device has a dedicated forum, then all the stuff related to that device will be in that forum and post the questions in q&a of that forum itself.
If it doesn't have one, then use the Android section. ( Android general and q&a)

[P999 CAN HOPE????]Android 4.4 Support To Devices With As Little As 512MB Of RAM

If you've used Android 4.1 or later on a phone or tablet with 1GB of RAM, you know things can get a little tight in the memory department. That's what makes newer and slightly underpowered devices like the Lenovo Yoga a little disappointing. Google has decided to trim the fat with Android 4.4 in an initiative they've christened "Project Svelte." This isn't a single change, it's a wide range of additions to the Android API and optional hardware configurations designed to make KitKat run smoothly on devices with as little as 512MB of system memory.
According to the new 4.4 developer page, Project Svelte starts with recommendations and options targeted at device manufacturers. Specifically:
Dalvik JIT code cache tuning
kernel samepage merging (KSM)
swap to zRAM
tune out-of-memory levels for processes
set graphics cache sizes
control memory reclaim
When it comes to pure software, core processes have been trimmed to use less memory and protect system memory from hungry apps. Android will also launch concurrent services in sequence instead of all at once to prevent slowdown. Imagine it as cleaning out the Startup folder in Windows, except that it's all happening behind the scenes. Developers also have access to the new ActivityManager.isLowRamDevice API, allowing memory-hogging features to be enabled and disabled as needed. Google will be integrating this feature into its own first-party apps, so even those with more powerful hardware should see at least some benefit.
Project Svelte isn't going to magically make older devices compatible with 4.4 - even Google's own Galaxy Nexus (with 1GB of RAM) isn't getting an official update, likely because of the aging OMAP SoC. But this will hopefully help devices like the original Nexus 7 and Nexus 4, not to mention upcoming low-end phones that will launch with 4.4, to better handle resources as apps become more hardware intensive.
Not happening man lol

You shouldn't expect anything from LG, and now that almost all the Devs have given up on the g2x, I too have realized that there is no hope for the g2x.
But although this phone got screwed pretty bad, if it wasn't for this phone I would have never known about the xda community and the joy of rooting, and for that I am grateful.

Same here, Knotes. If it wasn't for stock 2.3.4 gingerbread driving me insane with its lag, inconsistency and overall weak performance I would have never stumbled upon XDA and have rooted my phone to make it a somewhat halfway decent device (thanks to the amazing devs we've had) lol.
Sadly, I don't use my G2X anymore, I've gone back to using my Nokia E73/Mode Blackberry clone semi-smart phone which uses the obsolete Symbian OS, doesn't have a touch screen, has a real keypad, and does what I need adequately such as Skype, GPS with maps (I recently used it in Italy for a month), Wifi and phone calls. It has great battery life, very good audio quality, great cell radio range, easily fits in my pocket, is extremely well made and durable ( it fell from the roof on top of the 3rd floor of my house, while I was trimming tree branches, onto a concrete sidewalk and bounced into some bushes and only had a few scratches on the bezel at the top left corner. I do use a currently cheapest available Asus Android 7" tablet, that cost $150 new and runs Android 4.2.2 and it has had 3 updates since I bought it 2 months ago. It gets used when I need an app that runs on Android and to surf the net. I will never buy a new Android phone again and definitely not an LG at all, even used, because of what happened to the G2X.
No no and no g2x is dead period

Build a new CM11 ROM
Hi there !!! What if someone could actually build one Rom for p999 .... Even Huawei y201 Pro that is working on 512 MB ram has a CM11 based kitkat 4.4.2 rom available. It would be great if someone comes out and do this.:good:
It can be done but nobody can figure out the radio issue so it would be WiFi only. That is what killed this phone.
ROM for P999
Hi !!! This looks real sad. I am using CM 10.1 based on Jellybean 4.1.1 and it looks stable enough and so does the WIFI. Is there any newer version than this that is more stable? I checked the All ROMS thread but the newer ones are all buggy

No that's pretty much it. There's a trick you can do to flash p990 roms, I'm not sure how much development they have going on over there. I actually don't have this phone anymore but if you use one of their nvflash utilities you basically can repartition your phone like theirs except for the radio which doesn't work anyway. If you're up for it there's been a few people who have done it. I make no guarantees. Godspeed.
Thanks For the heads up !!! I will head to the Optimus 2x section and see what i can find there ....

Will.i.am iAm+ Puls loading another ROM

Hey,
I recently acquired a Will.i.am iAm+ Puls, and want to see if I can load full android on it (it's currently running a forked version of 4.1). It's an awful product, but heck figured it might be fun to try to load full android on it or even android wear and see what I can do. Problem is, it does not look like it has any USB connectivity, so would need some suggestion on how to load a ROM on it otherwise as I'm unfamiliar with how to do it.
If anyone could provide any guidance that would be great
For the curious here's some specs:
1.7-inch PMOLED Display
dual core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon
1GB RAM
16GB of storage
GSM 3G
WiFi
Bluetooth 4.0
GPS
pedometer (not actually sure if it has it.. isn't surfaced in UI)
accelerometer (not actually sure if it has it.. isn't surfaced in UI)
Sorry.. I'm new, but should this have actually been posted in Q&A?
