[Q] New Android User!! - General Questions and Answers

firstly, these fake, knock off phones generally don't get much attention in terms of roms and rooting.
nobody would put time and effort into making roms for a fake knockoff phone.

Pantech Duo roms/alternative OS

Does anyone know of any development being done to port Android or any alternative OS to the Pantech Duo or has anyone cooked any other roms for it? Stock Windows Mobile is much too sluggish on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I vaguely remember there being a Pantech Duo sub-forum on XDA. No?
Just reminding you we will deal with HTC devices.
you might not get an answer at all.
sorry

Thanks. I do appreciate the reminder. XDA is the best place on the internet that deals with Rom development so I was hoping someone might know something about the Duo. Thanks again.
Sorry.. i can't personally help.. hope someone can tho
I just bought a Pantech duo. Its actually not a bad little phone. I figure they allowed the Palm Treo and Sony Erricson here, hopefully they will allow the Pantech.
One problem I found though, is there is no way to get to the ROM image in the install file. Winrar or 7 zip won't open it.
If Pantech allowed their phones to be hacked like HTC does, they might be more popular.
As it stands, there is hardly any info out there for this phone.

Pls Help on Rom Flashing

Hello lads... I am new here and i have a hard time figuring out what to do...
Here it goes.. I bough an Iphone clone almost 1 year ago and i want to flash it.. the problem is that i only know its brand (its a Daxian x999+) and it has WM..
I dont know what tolls to use and furthermore wich OS is compatible... any help will be great
After a quick flick through the forums I'd say you wouldn't have much luck here, particularly as the main focus is HTC Phones. I don't know how compatible the hardware on your phone would be with anything manufactured by HTC. You could always try searching the forums with "Daxian" and see what you can turn up, there seemed to be a little bit of discussion but no real solutions.
Best of luck.
I doubt very much, in fact im pretty sure, that you wont find any roms that will work with your device im afraid, your best friend here is google......

[Q] Hey all...so how's work going on jail-breaking these things??

Hi. Been a looong time since I visited the forums. I was unhappy with the performance of my Fuze, so I came here to try some tricks with it. Pretty much did it all just short of installing the Android OS on it...which I think was just starting to be developed before I gave up on the Fuze.
I followed the development of the best roms and radios back in the spring/summer of last year, and the Fuze's got a TAEL rom on it now, and radio "1.12.25.19". The phone worked/works just fine...but I wasn't happy with it, and the large bill that arrived every month, so I ditched it long ago for a simple tracfone.
I'm wondering now though....is it possible to unlock either or both of the phones in a way that would allow me to use the tracfone SIM in the Fuze?
A simple enough question I think....and I tried the search....but I don't exactly know what to search for.
Appreciate any help you can offer. This has been a great forum for me in the past. VERY informative.

Thanks. I've seen that page, and followed the links. However that alone doesn't answer my question. I need to know if this can be done at all first, before I start buying software and codes for a 2? year old phone I don't even use. =)
Where are all the pro hackers and chefs for these things? Maybe the Fuze really WAS that bad, that noone even uses it anymore?

[Q] i've searched and searched

hi folks, i used to come to this forum all the time back in the day when i had my original G1 and then my HD2 and other phones (i dropped off the face of the planet and also forgot my password to my old account, the captcha system is horrendous BTW)
my question is is there any root options and custom rom options for the motorola DROID PRO (verizon)/XPRT (sprint?) -- YES, i've searched and any information i've found is pretty old and seems outdated. i rather not risk bricking my phone with something that no long works. so if someone could pretty please point me in the right direction i would appreciate it so much.
other questions: if rooting is possible on my droidpro -- what custom roms can i use on it?
thank you so much for any help you send my way.

Cubot C9+ OS Options

Hi there, firstly I hope I'm posting in the correct place but if I'm not please accept my sincerest preemptive apologies and feel free too relocate me to the appropriate thread.
Here's my saga, I recently got a Cubot C9+, it's a genuinely good phone which I'm quite happy with however it's not without problems. It came with Android 4.2.2 installed, after getting it I ran the manufacturers update however a lot of my SMS messages are not getting to me, I have tried everything including new sim, alternative SMS apps etc and still no joy at all. On top of that it is a little laggy, I'm wondering if theres any alternative Operating Systems I can use on it? I found some fantastic roms for my old Xperia X8 and X10 mini pro but there doesn't seem to be much for this phone, I wouldnt mind downgrading to an older operating system either. I would prefer not to have to mess about with the firmware if possible as I managed to brick a phone or two in my past and just dont have money for another one right now.
Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated and again sorry if I have posted in the wrong place.
Many thanks
-Larry
