Hello foks,
a good friend of mine is looking to buy a dual sim phone and would like to have android on it, so he asked me if I could do some researches but I can't seem I have found any so far, rather than a bunch of fake mytouch 3g or galaxy s dual sim phones on ebay...
do you guys know any specific one to suggest???
I have this same question!!

i think that you can browse ir by yourself...
DSTL1 has android 2.1 eclair (you can root and install froyo )
at some countries the name of this device is Sciphone n21...
super lcd screen with wqvga... 5mpx + flash led...
16 gb sd card...
and of course dual sim...
but XDA is not developing this device... you must browse for it in another site...
but if you are really interested in a quality device you can try SAMSUNG GALAXY S i9000 and buy here an adaptor for dual sim!!!
http://www.simore.eu/en/Dual_SIM-168-Dual_SIM_Platinum.php
or buy the S.GALAXY S copy (i9000) with dual sim integrated... its exactly the same phone and the same processor (arm cortex 1ghz gpu plus)... i ensure it...
Hi Recently purchased a tablet for which I am not able to find any custom ROM. The configuration is as follows .
processor - 1.2 Ghz Cortex A8 Dual Mali 400 2D/3D core
The model of tablet is Micromax funbook Infinity p275. I have gained the root access for the tablet but cannot find any custom ROM for it .Is there any ROM for a device that will work o this device too?
I ran the application "android system info" on the device and found the following information
CPU-ARMv7 Processor rev 2(v71)
build info-
CPU ABI-armeabi-v7a
The tablet does not have any volume rocker keys.It only have home and power keys in it and a reset button hole.
Thanks

This is why I would have found out if there was support here on XDA first before purchasing. I don't understand why People buy cheap or uncommon devices then come here asking for things like ROMs or rooting.

because not everybody have money like you to afford the tablet they wish for, and I think that's the forum for, to ask help, nobody hit your had, and nobody will, if you won't help, so stop with those noob answers.
You can always buy a used tablet that *used to* be popular and thus has development from when it was or might still have some going on.
I would not buy such a tablet unless I planned on playing it to try to make a ROM myself - if it was even possible.
You can get a decent Android tablet with decent amounts of development for like, $100 new so I don't think it's asking that much when it comes to buying a "gadget" that's not necessary.
I ordered a iNew I2000 from geekbuying http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Inew...-Android-4-1-OS-3G-GPS-Grey-White-314413.html
It's got decent specs:
-1.2 Ghz mtk6589 soc
-sgx544 gpu
-5.7 inch IPS 1280x720 720p screen
-1GB ram
-8GB nand
-bluetooth 2.0
-wifi b/g/n
-3.2MP front camera
-13MP rear camera

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU1PMoILCl4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Udo4KNdSgmg
All in all it looks like a very solid device. I expecting to use it as a tablet replacement with phone and possibly 3g if I choose the right network.
I'd like to start modding it right after I finish reviewing it.
I'm most excited about this 720p phone...the only other phone I'm interested in the iOcean X7(1080p, 2GB ram, and CHEAP!)
I'm located in NY and only speak 3 languages so I''m limited to google translate for the info I do find.
Does anyone have any advice on how to root or use cwm on this cheap chinese beast?
Does anyone have a link to the stock rom for it?
Thanks in advance!
I need the root system too, please help.

Great! Work fine. Thank you. But don't work PlayMareket. Any idea?
I'm waiting for mine to get here, when it does I'll look into that.
I'll also post up a full review.
I've posted up a review of the iNew i2000 over on armtvtech.

GREAT(!!!) review. Thanks.
You wrote GPS connection takes 3-5 minutes. Surprising as A-GPS enabled devices usually work connect in around 20 secs.
But then again - you said GSM reception is bad in your area, so mabe few antennas.
for comparison - how long does it take the S3 to connect to GPS? Is it much quicker than the i2000?
Around my home area the GS3 also takes 3-5 minutes and GPS Test shows only picks up 5 satellites.
The iNew i2000 picked up 6 satellites although one was a bit weak.
So I'd say they were about equal on the GPS reception front.
I've also got a OG Motorola Droid, Acer A100, and Motorola Photon. All except the Photon take 3-5 minutes...the Photon takes 10 minutes to connect and I have to hold it to the sky like I'm pray to some sort of sun god.
I posted up a flashing guide, stock firmware, and my own rooted firmware with cwm installed at:

i get about 200kbp through put. ONCE it ACTUALLY said 'tmobile 3g' under network operators scan but it failed to connect. does anyone know the absolutely positive correct settings for this phone to get 3g on tmobile? is it possible?
thanks for any help!!
Hi
Im thining of getting this phone but I can only get the 1gig ram and 4gig nand Basic version.
Do you think the 4.2 rom will flash\work ok with this version?
thanks
EDIT= I got the N7300 EX coming soon. The phone and hardware look the same as the i2000.
may take a chance on seeing if the 4.2 i2000 rom works with it
no 3g signal on T-mobile
I see there have not been any posts on this thread for a couple months. I hope there are some still reading it. I bought a iNew i2000 a couple months ago from Aliexpress.com and couldn't get any signal with it so
I sent it back to them. After about 30 days I received it back and it gets signal now but only 2g Edge. I use
T-mobile USA. and I would really like to get a 3g signal with it. Aliexpress said they worked on the antenna
but I don't think so. I think it is a software issue. I have read that only AT&T will give this phone 3g in the
USA. I hope not because I love this phone.

Hello! I broke my phone Where I can get new or used LCD panel for my I2000? Model SM-057APKP02A-14. :crying:
okay so here's the deal. I recently bought an off-brand tablet that i have never heard of, it is a maxwest 7370 tablet. I have a joke about it i call it a samsing lol. It seems like a good deal, it came with a 7" screen, 1.2 gigahertz dual core ,800 some odd mb of RAM, 8 gigs of storage, HDMI output, microSD slot, and Flash support, it runs on jelly bean 4.2.2 It was only one hundred and seventy dollars. And I'm happy with it so far but on the other hand I have had no success even finding this model of tablet on the Internet. Today I attempted several times at rooting this device with no success. I use software downloaded on my laptop one called kingo root the other was one click rooting. the only thing I was planning on using the rooted tablet for was supporting interface with my playstation 3 sixaxis controller. If anyone can help me figure out how to root this or just pairing my controller it would be greatly appreciated. I don't know much of anything about Android or rooting them but I would love to unlock more potential out of this thing! I use it mostly for fun but maybe some listening and learning will allow me to do much more.
im looking at ZTE Nubia Z5S (NX503A) got some nice specs for 400$ price tag.
5.0 inches, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 Quad-core 2.3 GHz Krait 400, 2GB ram, 16GB, 13MP camera, andriod 4.2.2 etc..
i have never used android phone before so im hoping u guys can help me. i did some googling and didnt find any roms or any other modifications usually go with a andriod device.
i would like to know if this is a worth buying since this phone only available in china.

Is this phone sold in country, or are you going to import it from china? Because if not, I would not recommend you a chinese phone. If it is defective you'll have a hard time returning it (if you can at all) etc.
Btw, if you come from iPhone, I strongly recommend you Google-listed devices (assume you live in the US, it would be HTC One, Nexus 5, SGS4) that come with the stock Android UI. They are updated as soon Google pushes out updates, which is closer what you experience on the iPhone.
Since chinese phones except for Huawei ones are rarely supported in XDA (they lack documentation, source etc) I would not recommend you a chinese phone if you want to try out new ROMs.
If you are ready to take the risks there you go. But as a first time Android user, no way I would go with that phone.
My recommendation for you is the Nexus 5. Hope this helps.
i have to import from china. im a symbian user im sorry i forgot to mentioned where i live. im from sri lanka and no play store available. no way to get a nexus 5. even if somehow managed get my hands on a nexus 5 it would costs me around 550-600$.

If it has to be a chinese phone then I suggest you the Xiaomi Mi3. Great User Interface (MIUI), great update support and best hardware for little money. Xiaomi is also highley popular, it is being regarded like Apple in china.
Go straight for Nubia, it has the best specs out there and far away the best price. I just order it btw.

Good question, in deed I just got a Nubia z5s 3 weeks ago.
(I used to be a Moto supporter, but got disappointed by Moto's sales policy - however, CDMA users can hardly have so many choices as others. forget HTC, bad quality.)
Somebody mentioned Xiaomi, I don't think it's a good option. Nubia's hardware spec is almost the same as Xiaomi, but Xiaomi's shipment and sales policy will drive you crazy. You have to attend to a luck draw first, then could have a chance to buy one!
Regarding the experience, herein I only talk about my experience.
1. BATTERY:
From 7am to 10pm, medium use, about 75% is consumed.
2. DISPLAY:
Much better than MOTO X :laugh: , 1080p. Also, the color is not so cold as Samsung.
3. VOICE&MESSAGE:
Fairly clear, however the location of Mic is just under USB port. sometimes your finger could swipe it when picking up.
As CM user, very delighted to see vibrate setup in "settings", SMS also designed with popup
4. CAMERA
I didn't test too much. However, the respond speed is satisfying.
5. SOFTWARE
a. I have to acknowledge that the UI design is lower than my expectation, especially the icons. Styles in default apps and system UI are not actually unique. But most Androider will change the launcher at soonest, am I right? (ps. I really hate Samsung's UI and the screen density!)
b. Furthermore, the system compatibility...there's no surprise, also no fetal bugs.
c. Seemed Nubia team learnt a lot from CM team. They just released source CODE on their website.
d. It can be ROOTED easily.
e. Some local team has ported CWM RECOVERY on it. Nice job!
f. It's said MIUI by local team is on the way. Also, some guy is working on its AOSP now.
6. AUDIO
Sorry but I never play songs via cell phone. Somebody has idea?
7. DESIGNING
I spent almost one week to get familiar with the weight - it's too light
8. NETWORK
GSM/TD/CDMA, not sure if it can be used in Verizon network?
In conclusion, it didn't disappoint me. I'd be delighted to see more improvements or 3rd party's works on ROMs in near future.
Guys, is this phone suitable for the dutch network and.if flashed with multi language you can use dutch language?

And do you have Play Store installed?
im still waiting for my phone to arrive, but i have seen CWM and Rooting on official Nubia forums. everything is in Chinese. if someone can translate and post here.
Google play works just install gapps 4.2.2 ( you need google framework )
For the Chinese forums use google translate thats how it works 4 me !
The kingnubia rom is recommended it got it all in 1 rom !
