[Q] My Device? - General Questions and Answers

I recently bought a smartphone. Its 'GFive G9'. It is also rebranded in some places as 'Cherry Mobile Blaze 2.0'. I was wondering if there was any custom roms like miui, cyanogenmod etc.?
The specifications are as follows:
Processor: 1209 mhz Quad core armv7 processor (rev 2 v7l)
Screen: 5.7 inch ips capacitive touch screen, resolution is 720 x 1280
Hardware(according to AnTuTu CPU Master): MT6589
P.S. If you require any more details or anything related to this phone just reply on the thread :good:
EDIT 2: I found a miui transplant for the phone. Usable as a base maybe? (not able to post links so if you need in just pm me)

What is The Best 4" Android Phone?

Hi..
What is the best 4" Android phone in the market? I used to use Galaxy Nexus but that phone is HUGE!
So I am looking for a beast performance phone with 4" or 3.7" screen and ICS on it.
Lava XOLO X900 but it is available in India Only
Don't know the best on the market now, but my friend has a HTC Incredible S and that on is 4". The processor is 1 Ghz, but instead of standard 512 mb ram, this one has 768 mb ram instead.
If you were willing to go a bit bigger, like 4.3" display, then the HTC One S. 1 gb ram and 1.5 Ghz dual core processor.
These are the only ones I can think about, and both has got official ICS.
Go for a 4.3" and I'll recommend the HTC One S.
yes lava xolo is beast ....
atom processor and 400 MHz of gpu.....
and $400

If you really need it to be exactly 4", then I would suggest the LG Optimus 2X (or G2X).
Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX(You know it's a beast if they had to name it in capital)
Lenovo lephone k800 shipped from China.
Meizu MX also from China(retina display )

Your better off looking in other forums for this as clone devices are not supported on XDA.

[Q] iRulu 10.1 tablets and their chipsets

Found these cheap android tablets. They seem like pretty good compared to their price. But different devices are confusing me. They are many almost same devices but with a little different hardware and still they are named the same. I'm about to buy an iRulu 10.1 tablet. I'm not sure if there are 2 or 3 different versions of it.
iRulu's site was laggy but these charts are the same what I found on their site:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/iRulu-10-1-...90625890613?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item5af31e1135
http://www.ebay.com/itm/iRulu-10-1-...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item7b74f03c58
The first one: CPU Processor: "Rockchip RK2928 Cortex-A9 1.5GHz; Mail-400 Quad Core"
And the second one: "CPU Processor: Allwinner A20 1.5GHz; Mail-400 Quad Core"
What's the difference? Which could be better?
This one doesn't tell about 1.5ghz: http://www.ebay.com/itm/iRulu-10-1-...50886874301?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item51b27cccbd
"Allwinner A20 ARM Cortex-A7 Dual-Core; ARM® Mali400MP2"
According to many other sources, clock speed of that allwinner A20 cortex-A7 is only 1ghz or 1.2ghz. What are those Allwinner A20 1.5ghz processors then?
Moreover, I have seen iRulu 10.1 tablets with resistive screens that are not good. I also found very large amount of 10.1 tablets with some kind of allwinner 1.5ghz processor and seemingly same body. MAny of them don't even tell name or brand. I will be most likely buying the first or second one, but first I'd like to know about the processor differences. Only thing I know about android processors are the clock speed and number of cores.
Just realized that Rockchip RK2928 Cortex-A9 1.5GHz is not dual-core. Also, with further investigation, I became even more convinced that the Allwinner A20 dual-core 1.5ghz doesn't exist. Many are still selling that. Not sure if it's 1ghz or 1.2ghz.
Again found new models:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/iRulu-10-1-...90630383490?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item5af3629f82
"Allwinner A10 1.5GHz Mali-400" (single-core, but is it better or worse than RockChip?)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/iRulu-10-1-...90691725632?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item5af70aa140
"iMAPx15 ARM Cortex A5 Dual core 1.2GHz" (this vs Allwinned A20 Cortex A7?)
1.5ghz single-core or 1.2ghz dual-core, which is better? 1ghz dual-core?
This is really confusing.
EDIT: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/44034-atm7029-an-arm-cortex-a9-or-a5/page__st__40 + many other sources seem like telling Allwinner processors are not as good as advertised. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockchip Wikipedia says that that RK2928 would be single-core 1 to 1.2ghz. Odd

Stick with name brand. I got an infotmic imapx15 noria 7" for Christmas. The most I was able to do was root it. I just found flashing software from the manufacturer for it after searching for 3 months. Trust me, the Mali-400 GPU isn't that great as far as I'm concerned. Mine is also a dual core 1.2GHz and is still quite slow compared to my Galaxy S3. Just my .002

[Q] ROM development questions!!!

Hey guys!!! 8 months ago I bought a phone which was great for the cash i had collected at that time. I bought a ZTE Blade III Pro. Here are the specs:
Networks: 2G and 3G
Screen: 4" Capacitive TFT Touchscreen, 480x800, 233ppi
Memory: 4GB (1.8 usable), expandable to 32GB via MicroSD card, 512MB RAM
Sound: Dolby Mobile Sound Enhancement
Camera: Primary:5MP, 2592 х 1944, autofocus, touch to focus, geo-tagging, panorama, timing mode, camera filters, 480p video recording | Front:0.3 VGA
Chipset: Snapdragon S4 Play MSM8225
CPU: Dual-Core 1.2GHz Cortex A5
GPU: Adreno 203
Battery: 1600 MaH
Android: 4.1.2 Jelly Bean
Since there are no custom ROMs available for this device I decided to port but no success. Then I tried my luck and started to learn how to build AOSP ROM from source. Then I found out that I need a kernel-source and device-tree available. Since ZTE hasn't released kernel-source and device-tree for this phone that was a no go.
So I'm here to ask you can I build my own kernel-source and device tree? And How To Do It? I have read on other forums that you can use drivers from other devices with the same hardware ( there are a lot of them ) but I don't know what to do right now. There are KitKat builds for phones with the same hardware ( HTC Desire X, Huawei Ascend Y300... ) but they have a lot of developers and there are a lot of custom ROMs for them! Please Help Me!!!

Without the kernel source there is nothing you can do. This is the reason developers never touch off beat devices or devices from from China based OEM.

Hello Friends ,
Im new to xda (not new to android , i have used xda for reading before but first time asking something) , i wanted to compare two processors and to know which overall configuration is better. the processors are Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 MSM8212 and MediaTek MT6582
i searched alot on google but there wasnt any comparison about these two processors and which is better . what i found was detailed information about these processors , im confused about some terms in it so cannot decide which is better and am asking here for help.
MSM8212:-
1.2 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7
28 nm LP
ARMv7
Adreno 302 (WXGA/720p)
LPDDR2
I couldnt find data of on chip cache
MT6582
1.3 GHz Cortex A7, QC
28nm
ARMv7
Mali 400-MP2 500 MHz
LPDDR2 533 MHz, LPDDR3 666 MHz
32 KB L1, 512 KB L2
While telling me which processor is better , i would like consideration of heating , stability , gaming and power consumption .
Now in order to decide which phone two buy , here is the link for full comparison of both phones (sry i cant post a link i try to copy paste data ) (Im removing specs which are same for both phones )
General Info________ Micromax Canvas 2 Colours A120 _____ Micromax Canvas Elanza 2 A121
OS________________ Android OS, v4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) ______ Android OS, v4.3 (Jelly Bean)
Processor_________________ MT6582 ____________________ MSM8212 Snapdragon 200
GPU___________________ Mali-400MP2 _____________________ Adreno 302
RAM ___________________ 1 GB RAM _______________________ 1 GB RAM
Display ____________ IPS LCD Capacitive _______________ TFT Capacitive Touchscreen (both at 294 ppi)
Colors __________________ 16.7M colors ____________________ 16.7M colors
Prize of both is almost same about 10k
Any kind of help will be appreciated
