Hello there, I am planning on buying the Newman N2 / Freelander i20 and was wondering if there are any custom roms that would potentionally work for it. I have searched around some but couldn't actually find any.

There is one custom rom out, if u can call it custom.. not worth looking at in my opinion.
You can find it here: http://vondroid.com/forums/custom-roms.219/
There are official roms as well on that forum.
On XDA there is some activities in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082275
I like my N2 and have it next to galaxy s3. I'm cooking some stuff as well, but time is a issue.

Sounds interesting,
I would love to see some more development for this phone. It's really a good deal compared to almost any western branded phone (that is still made in China or Taiwan or Korea anyways).. I'll take a look at vondroid, I already saw the S3 to Newman n2 port discussion but it seems that it is just people wanting it at this stage. Nice to hear you might be doing some stuff too

Additional question, on some sites it says the 3G chip is 2100/900mhz but on some it says 2100 only? Which one is it? Need to know this to see if 3G would work in my country.
It worth to try, more than nothing. Btw today comes the new version of libra and as I see another one already out.

Rooting works just fine, but gapps need some more ironing out. I am not getting google account type under add accounts, but can add it just fine through gmail. Some people reported sync issues.

I think that the build quality of n2 is much better than sgs3 (feels like a monolith)..screen colors of n2 are natural (amoled is real acid)...

Newman n2 internet problem
Hi there,
can anyone help me out - give me a suggestion how to make the internet connection working with this Newman n2 phone.
My internet network is working - Virgin however i am unable to use internet on the phone.
I have contacted my virgin mobile provider and from their side the internet is ok, i can see as well that it shows that i am connected.
when i go to settings - under "about this phone" it shows that under "mobile network state" it says DISCONNECTED.
maybe this is the reason why my internet doesnt work?
can anyone please tell me how to make this work?
thank you

More ram no keyboard might as well get a different phone G1 is outdated, stay on topic please.
If someone can port this, lets get it optimized and addicted to steroids before a release. The MTSlide ports are laggy as hell after a days work, but this looks promising.
Last time devs were working on the pulse roms they quit because of things that they would fix broke other things. Soon it became something like "Fixed wifi, but broke BT" kinda thing. Lets hope this is better!
Good luck guys, excited!

I agree. That's not msm7200 turbo performance. If we get this to boot completely, we'll see. Not too much work left for that.
Here is a link for a build of mine (based on Paul's r6, so it is odexed unfortunately, because r4 was in a worse mess (seperated ramdisk)) that shows the t-mobile pulse logo with the pink circle (boot screen) but simply loops that animation, and gets stuck on a libaudio.so related problem. CM .33 kernel, compiled for this (should technically have same md5 as the one in test4). Help me out devs. This isn't signed (ignore the filename), I assume that anyone who is going to work on this at least knows how to sign a file
http://www.mediafire.com/?wmnoyzmmcdt
Good Luck to anyone who helps me. I'll continue tomorrow or on the weekend, I have a math test to study for.
looks pretty good considering its a 192mb ram phone, (though i thought it was 128mb)
A member of TMo staff (UK) confirmed the RAM/ROM as:
SDRAM with 128 MB
Flash EEPROM ROM with 256 MBI was sooo gonna get this until I saw the 256MB… will this have the same trouble as the G1 with future updates [i know 1.6 fits]Anyone know the partition size od the /system on the pulse?

Hi, I have a conquer 4g and I'm wondering if anyone is currently cooking a rom for this phone or has cooked one. If so please share.
Nope
I dont think that this phone will ever see the interest of a single dev. I have this phone as a backup (just in case) and couldn't find a single ROM for it. I think the primary reason is the low resolution of the screen coupled with the aging CPU. No dev sees this as a worthwhile endeavor.
corrected

Hello everybody... I've had my Bedove HY5001 for a few days now and I thought I'd do a little review on it and enquire about these MediaTek 6589 Processors. First off, I bought it off OrientDeal for 190 USD. Shipping cost me $30 and I had it in about 3 days from the time it was sent. Took about 5 days to reach me in total. Not bad! The packaging isn't bad and it comes with a couple of screen protectors, some earphones that I haven't tried and two batteries.
On start up it looks a bit Engrish (only reinforced by the text on the back of the phone that says 'Create a Smart Times'. Has a kind of pixelated Android logo but once it boots up it looks pretty good. It runs JellyBean but it's not exactly stock. The most noticeable modifications are: A transparent status bar, a transparent launcher background and color icons in system settings. All pretty minor and rather unnecessary, I'd rather have stock everything but oh well. The display is really nice. It's pretty big though (5"), not uncomfortably so but if you have small hands I'd go for something a bit smaller. It's smooth, runs without lag and for the price, rather nice. The camera is great in decent lighting but not so great in dim light. The build quality is pretty decent and I very much like the aesthetic.
It came with a bit of bloatware but rooting it is easy... There's some funky stuff in there to do with the MediaTek processor and I haven't touched that stuff, but I'd assume it's necessary. Battery life seems ok. Cell standby seems to suck a good bit of battery but I've yet to collect good stats on this. Just don't expect week long battery life. A couple of days is more realistic at best if you use your phone a bit...
As far as I know, the MediaTek processors are quite new and from what I've read, it seems tricky to get CyanogenMod running on them. I don't think it's been done successfully but I really hope it is ported sometime soon (on this note, I'm happy to try and extract my ROM and whatever else I can from my phone to help with development). CyanogenMod would probably fix the Cell Standby battery drain issue but I'm doing some testing to see if I can get it to be a bit more efficient. These new MediaTek Quad-Core based phones are really promising. The processors are great and they're unbelievably cheap. Comparing this to a Nexus 4, I'd say there's not a huge difference in the quality of the display nor in the responsiveness of the screen. The Nexus 4 wins hands down in the battery department, but for the price, this is a very nice phone and I'm sure most others are! Any questions? Can anyone shed some light on what would be required to build a custom ROM for these chips? How about custom base bands? How can I contribute to the development of a custom ROM?
According to my phone, my baseband and build are as follows:
Baseband Version: MOLY.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V6, 2013/03/21.
Build Version: HY5001.130425T0.JB2V1.2.V01.MP.EN

About as much chance as there is of CM, AOKP or Paranoid Android supporting the I9500. Which is to say little to none, or at least in anything approaching a stable fashion and in the near future.
And isn't this BMarko's build off this very forum? If so you should link it on the opening post.

Didn't know how it was pronounced. I usually just pronounce it as "My UI" or I actually spell out the letters "M I U I". "My UI" sounds logical because you are able to customize it however you like so it can be your UI.

You will lose all the gimmicky features of touchwiz and the UI of course. That's about it though. You will gain custom abilities! The camera and gps work fine. If you flash it right you will get really good performance and battery life. I actually believe it was snappier and it had better data connection than stock touchwiz .

As of a few hours ago I shattered the screen on my beloved Mi2, for the second time, yet again resulting in an inoperable screen. I've decided to end terms with it, as much as I love it, but my contract is nearing end and I am considering getting an S4 recontracted tomorrow.
Have been looking up reviews and everything all night, especially for MIUI on an S4, as I've become ever so hooked with it on my Mi2.
How's the ROM going for you on that device? I noticed how unresponsive TouchWiz on the S4 was which really bestowed me, but seeing the CM videos and MIUI being run on this device, I'm feeling it!
edit: Backed up many theme settings such as iPhone font and emoji keyboard does the graphical emoji show on this ported MIUI, or is it the plain black/white variant made by Android?

I also replied to your comment on YouTube but it does run very nice on the S4. There are no serious bugs at all that I've encountered. I switch between MIUI V5 and CM10.1. For reviewing purposes I will be reviewing other ROMS.
Updated the OP with a quick case review! I know its not a rom but it is a really nice case that you should check out! I have a ROM review on the way though!
Hey guys, I'm planning to buy this phone because I found a great deal and I really love the phone after watching reviews. But I'd like to have some advice. What are your experiences with the device? My main concerns are display, camera and battery. Also, I noticed It doesn't have much support from devs, which is very important to me. I saw there's a cm12 ROM. How does it work? Is it smooth? Bugs? Also any chance of getting cm13?
Thank you guys, I'd really appreciate some help!!

My main concerns are display, camera and battery. Also, I noticed It doesn't have much support from devs, which is very important to me. I saw there's a cm12 ROM. How does it work? Is it smooth? Bugs? Also any chance of getting cm13?
Thank you guys, I'd really appreciate some help!!

This is my honest opinion coming from a Nexus 6 (RIP)
This phone is actually not bad, battery life is good, camera is good to me in good lighting.
Display is excellent in my opinion.
One, two or three Roms is better than none.
CM is pretty stable and smooth for daily use, just make sure you follow the install instructions.
But just like any Roms out there, there's always gonna be bugs lol
There will be Cm13 as soon a few minor bugs has been fix.
No need to move on quick without taking care of those first that way we'll have a better experience on Marshmallow
Hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply. I think the hardware is ok, I come from a Galaxy S3 so I don't expect too much from it. What I really love is the processor and RAM. But the most important to me is being able to run cyanogenmod. So there is no limitation in terms of rom development? Lack of sources or something? And by bugs I meant important bugs like nfc not working etc.
Thank you again!!

Well,sources arent a problem!
And the current bug is the fact that the phone isnt "reversible" anymore on CM(only one side-the upper one-can be used for calls),and that the dual sim variant has to settle with using only one sim(for now).
As for the roms,there are CM,Vanir and AICP,and I am working on bringing even more roms.
But I suggest buying this device only if you are planning on buying the 5.5 inch variant,and not the 4.7 inch one.
I am glad roms work without major issues. I'd even try to build some if it's not too difficult for me(I'm a begginer dev). And yeah, I bought the 5.5 variant, waiting for it to arrive. I think the phone is great, the only downside I find is the video recording. Anyway I don't use that too much.
i got 6039
display, speakers, sound on headphones, performance, call sound quality - verry good
camera is good on sunny days. indoors hdr a little help. but there is one small fault - volume microphone. its too quiet from videos or dictaphone . does not apply to calls.
Screen resolution, speakers and ease of use is great on this device.
Can be a little laggy, but not too bad. For $200, it's a great deal for the money. It's no Samsung G6 or an iPhone 6, but it'll hang with all the other mid range phones.
Just be sure to be careful of the glass screen, is vulnerable to crack and a repair will set you back $100 unless you can fix it yourself.
I can only recommended it if you plan to install CM or other custom ROM. Stock ROM lags. Make sure you also flash the camera MOD from @Androidcid. Phone has band 12 but not sure that it works when used on T-Mobile.

Thanks for the tips. Does the camera mode improve quality?
Can the device be overclocked?

The CM ROM degrades the quality. The camera MOD restores the quality.

I don't know is it just the 5.5" variant, but I've seen few devices running on the same SoC and they stutter way more than my 4,7" variant on the SD 410. So if you already unsure if you should get one,get the smaller one. The display is good, the sound is amazing and the camera is meh, it gets the job done. As for the battery, I usually get 4h and 30min SOT,when it hits under 20% .
Thank you guys, I already have the 5.5 variant on my hand and I have to say it's awesome, the display is great, and it's super light for its size. I installed NOVA launcher and the device is pretty smooth. But I'm really disappointed with the camera, it's just awful. I'm really struggling to get any detail on people's face even with flash. Does it also happen to you guys?
In my opinion the camera is quite correct for the price. I think the word "awful" is a bit exaggerated.

Funny, I switched to Nexus 6, lots of good deals of late ($260 64GB), & of course, v6.0.1 & many cusom roms. I've relegated this phone to kid's multimedia. Night & day speed difference.

I don't know if it's because I updated the firmware, but now the camera performs much better than when I first tested it. This is an awesome device!
BTW, do you know if I can take RAW pictures somehow?
I see there are many variants of this device. Mine is 6045Y. What is the difference between them?
For the camera : yes since the update it performs much better.
For the raw pictures : I don't know, I'm an "awful" photographer.
