Hello folks,
I am fairly new to the Android OS so please be gentle
I took the plunge and finally got a smart TV from Haier which came with the 2.3.4 Android system. All is fine an cherry in 2.3.4 town as of now (apart from its horribly looking user interface design). But was wondering if i could install the 4.0 update ?
Isnt the android system like any other where you have one default version of the OS that comes from google and then there are variants from the open-source community ? If so then which is the best stable version and where can i find it.
Installation of the 2.3.4 OS is on an MMC that i copied from the technicians that came home to fix the TV so i am fine with a backup and the procedure for the install from an MMC. But i assume that if i download the OS from the internet then the procedure will be a bit different ?
I'll update more of the details (Kernel version etc) when i get home. All this because the manufacture - Haier - does not provide updates online or on its website or anywhere on the web. Appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Gaj - I have the same question which you have. Did you get any response from anyone or have you now upgraded to the latest version ?
If you have the latest firmware to upgrade , please share it with me or else please share the OS back up what you have as I don't even have it
please help me
Regards
Sri

If you have an MSI windpad 7 or 10 and want to update its firmware, here is the link to the latest : http://event.msi.com/nb/enjoy/enjoy7.html#/?div=Firmware
Fair warning : This 2.3 gingerbread update doesn't improve performance much, it looks better than android 2.2 but people report different bugs that I didn't experience myself.
A bug I am experiencing with it is that its bluetooth and wifi are going crazy, not detecting devices like they used to do on android 2.2. be warned if you use this tablet with your car's bluetooth, it probably will stop connecting to it after the 2.3 update.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE : if anyone just bought this tablet and still has android 2.2 on it, please be cool and catch an image of it to share with us who updated to the buggy firmware. MSI customer support sucks, they don't keep old firmware on their website!
Here's how you can make an "image" of your firmware : http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/
You should end up with a .img file that you can reinstall later if you find out the update is buggy for you.
Don't hesitate to post or PM me if you need help.
Hi adilator, just found this post via a google search. I have a windpad 7 that I havent updated yet. Am happy to do an image of it when I get home later.
Was hoping to find a way to get Skype video working on the damn thing but guessing this firmware update doesnt help so wont put myself through it
Hi leemako.
The normal skype you download from android play (market) doesn't work on this tablet, you need to use the one bundled with its original firmware. if you updated skype and it's not working, you can easily revert the update and go back to the original installation by going to the applications management page and click on "unistall updates".
is your tab on android 2.2 or did it come with 2.3 preinstalled?
I'd really appreciate your help if you can share the img with us.
Btw, if you must root the tab, don't do the root img available on a thread in this forum, it will install a new version of the firmware with the bug I'm trying to avoid. You should test the various froyo root tools available such as Z4root or gingerbreak, look here : http://www.itsmyiphoneworld.com/android-device/howtorootandroidversionfroyo222
ah sorry, I just checked and it was bundled with 2.3.1.
Hey it's ok leemako.
For anyone landing on this page after a search, if you're looking for the best custom rom for this tablet, here's where you should look : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668786
It's a great rom based on the latest official rom but with an ICS skin that makes it look a million times better.
Hello everyone! I bought the M811 device of China Mobile. It is running on Android 4.3. Most of the Google apps are not working and even if you put the language on English, still lots of information is still in Chinese, which I do not understand. Therefore, I want to put another Android operating system on it, preferably Android 4.4 KitKat. I am not familiar with this at all, can someone help me?
4G
I have the same phone with the same problems as yours, also even if i have the "Network Mode 4G/3G/2G(Auto)" i can't get 4G and my friends next to me with other phones they can. So, is this 4G fake or what?
Also i made it to root it but i can't found any compatible custom rom.

I do currently have this device in my hand.
You can try rooting it and then you should be able to install gapps.
As no source code is released by CMCC(or at least I can't simply find it), upgrading to another version of Android requires a lot of work - possible in theoretic and possibly only possible in theoretic.
could someone please point me to a place that shows me how to root this phone

I have a zte open c from eBay , U.S. model. It shipped with stock comebuy ffos 1.3 , I didn't like the ffos software so I updated to the comebuy kitkat rom which disappointedly did not have any Google services installed for whatever reason still baffles me. I tried for weeks to figure this thing out, not being experienced in programming does not help. I noticed the android kitkat ran much smother on the device, however without the Google apps it seemed quite useless to me so I went back to the ffos rom, the apps from market place in comparison to the android apps are like going from an xbox 360 to a sega genesis, android being the (xbox 360) of course. A few days ago I came across the zte upgrade tool and updated with the ffos us eBay rom with root. Now I cannot update OTA from phone nor can I update back to kitkat version nor any others, I get signature failed errors. I am not a programmer so if some one can explain how to fix this with detailed steps I would really appreciate it.
Hi,
Here is a thread you could ask for help in,
> Firefox OS > Firefox OS General > AOSP 4.4.2 for the ZTE Open C
Good luck!
Hello,
first time poster here. I still use an old HTC One S C2 phone with the S3 processor. Currently I am running 4.1.1 on it. It was the only version offered to me by the update system.
On a whim I decided to google for "HTC one s c2 lineageos" hoping to find a more up to date operating system. I stumbled on a video (youtube dot com/watch?v=hgcdJkGM4cY) which is supposedly showing Android 7.1.1 on my phone.
In the video description it says this tool (apkplanet dot net/app/download-autoroot-tools-apk/) can update my phone to 7.1.1. However when I use a bit.ly link expander website the link in the video description is not pointing to apkplanet.net but to some other website which sounds a bit shady, so I wont post it here.
My questions are: Has anybody here used autoroot tools on this phone and will it be able to put 7.1.1 on my phone?
and secondly, what is the most up to date Android I could put on this phone?
Thank you and kind regards,
Fritz.
Hi, I got myself a smart projector running on Android. Unfortunetely the deveopers installed a really old version and it seems there is no way to update them. When trying to add an account to the system or let alone update the system tells me that it can not communicate with the google servers. So, I am planning to install a new Android version on the smart projector.
Can anyone point me towards a good resource (on the net) that tells me what information I need to have, which files from the current installation I need to keep (i.e. drivers) before installing whoch ROM?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Sounds familiar - having the same problem: My Philips Picopix 4935 is a splendid device but its Android 4 isn't much fun (especially with newer audio/video-formats).
What model do you have?
