[Q] Use Cyanogenmod of Galaxy Note for ZTE Blade Q Maxi - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
Is it possible to use the Galaxy Note N7000 version of the Cyanogenmod for ZTE Blade Q Maxi?
Hardware-wise, the only difference I could see is that the Note has a Cortex A9 and the ZTE has a Cortez A7.
I'm assuming that resolution, screen and camera sizes are irrelevant.
I have rooted the phone and have made a back-up of the current firmware to the card (which is Orange bloatware weighing a massive 1.1GB).
Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

I think it's impossible, why don't you search for a custom rom and kernel that are built specially for your device?

yeah they are still very different phones, same with OEM, Samsung is not ZTE they have different bootloaders and such and would brick your phone if you flashed that.

Damn...I thought it was just like on the PC
@Ferris Cruiser : As far as custom ROMs for it go, there aren't any at the moment.
Stock Android 4.2.2 has about 450MB. The back-up made with CWM to the zip card is...drum-roll please...1.5GB, because Orange bloatware. I didn't install any apps except something to root it and CWM.
Can I just flash stock Android 4.2.2 on it? I mean, the Google Nexus 4 ROM. Or would that brick it too?
I'm searching for something, anything, any Android version that might work for it because in the Orange branded version you don't have :
Options for calls/keyboard/home-screens etc. It's very very limited.

flashing any rom that is not ment for your phone will brick it, this goes for almost every devices. there are a few phones suck as the (t-mobile)T989 Galaxy s2 and skyrocket galaxy s2 (at&t) are able to flash each others roms with a mod i think, i have yet to try to flash one of their roms. it looks like your phone has almost about stock android, with a new keyboard or a new launcher. got a perfect status bar already. other than that it should look like a nexus 4.

I understand now, thank you very much for your help.
I've done some late-late-night research and was unable to even install Clockwork Mod on it, it still has the basic Android system recover (3e) from Orange.
I will keep on searching for a way to install recovery on it and flash it. The phone is good, the firmware ruins it.
So thank you all once again for your help.
Love&Peace!

There are in a special thread for S7560/S7560M (Trend and Ace II x are the same phone with different names) here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2019146
I've put in a suggestion to make a master thread called Samsung Galaxy Ace (all models incl. Trend) with a subforum for each model since they are different and incompatible as far as firmware, kernel etc. is concerned. There's not much out there yet, the only one that did a JellyBean (unsupported and buggy) and then a KitKat (4.4) firmware stopped since he switched to another model. I've tried the Kitkat but it's simply not finished and will probably never be unless other people take over and give the Ace 2x/Trend a go since it seems they seem to become very common as they are often sold in great bundles around the world.
My thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2605722
There are root-kits that flashes CWM-recovery while unrooting in a kit.
Even if your (and mine) phone is named Samsung Galaxy Trend you'll need to get used to call it a Galaxy Ace II x. This is the name of the rootkit with CWM-recovery: Galaxy_S_Ace_2_X_Root_kit.rar
And there are some ROMs (Australia and Guatemala versions with higher firmware version numbers) that can be flashed on any Trend/Ace II x since they aren't country locked or something like that.

thanks for your reply man but that thread was posted long time ago i already tried cm11 and cm10.2 for this device but now i manged somehow to fully brick this phone i cant enter in recovery or download mode when i try to turn it on the phone just shows the samsung galaxy trend and shuts down itself...dont know what to do i lost my warranty paper and threw away the box so i dont know what to do
Hmm, if vol up & down & home & power doesn't take you into recovery or vol down+power+home doesn't take you into download I'm not sure there's much you can do without leaving it to someone with a full JTAG-rig that can read and backup your system partitions (esp. the EFS partition that store your IMEI etc.) and reflash it with a stock ROM + stock partitions.

[Q] Samsung galaxy ace q/appeal

The phone i am looking to get is called the samsung galaxy appeal in USA, or the samsung galaxy ace q in canada.
the main draw to this phone is its design - a real slide out keyboard.
but im just confused as far as which directions for rooting i would follow? I cant find any directions specific to that phone model, only the "samsung galaxy ace" but that and the phone I want are quite different. the model number for mine is sgh-i827D, if that helps.
My plan was to play around with it and put the latest (stable/recommended) version of android onto the phone before adding any personal touches. I know its operating system is older now but i really do enjoy the physical style of the phone itself.
Any advice would be great, thanks!
If it helps, once i root, as far as i know the only thing id want to do is upgrade the android version.

Latest official Rom--> NOT AVAIABLE (or may be i'm dumb)
But i thought that was the point of rooting, so that way technically every rom is available to every phone?
Ive seen people say they got their regular ace running version 4.4

Ace on 4.4 is possible but not recommended as its just a bit too slow for KitKat. The point is that custom roms are communtity made and if there is no community, bacause of neraly no one owns the phone you have, there will be no custom roms.
I was not even able to find the stock rom for i927D provided b samsung on the internet. I would always inform myself about the abilities to mod a device before buying it.

[Q] - [NOOB] About rooting the Nexus 5 (not tutorial)

I need opinions and this is what you need to know
Recently bought a Nexus 5 and I am coming from a Galaxy S4 that was my first android phone and I don't know a lot on how to root but my friend taught me how to install new roms after he unlocked the bootloader
I really like how "pure" the system is on my Nexus 5 and how stable it is compared to the roms i used to install on my Galaxy s4, I also like that it doesn't require me to install a new rom everytime the old one becomes buggy.
problem is, I also liked the extra features on the roms i used to instal, like PIE and all that stuff
now... my questions are, Is it worth rooting the nexus 5(also got a nexus7) or am I better off with it like it is ?????
also, do I need to look for a rom for my specific carrier (the phone is unlocked) or any rom will work?
thanks for the help

Any rom will work (easier with a Nexus device right? ).
Rooting is worth as per your needs. Rooting will allow you to use LMT Launcher (PIE Controls and other cool stuff).
Anyways you can root then unroot if needed.

Unlike Galaxy devices, where there are a million different carrier versions of the same phone, each incompatible and with different hardware to each other, there are only 2 models of Nexus 5 and EVERYTHING is fully compatible with both.

[Q] Stock 4.4.4

Hi all, it's been awhile since I've done any ROM flashing (older phones) so I'm a little rusty now. I'm currently root, unlocked, CWM with stock 4.1.2 (never flashed any custom ROMs on my S3). I'm wanting to get closet to stock 4.4.4 as possible. Can I use the Nexus 5 4.4.4 firmware on my phone? Or will it not work due to it being GSM?
If this won't work, can anyone recommend a ROM of the latest android version that is closest to stock as possible? Thanks.
I wouldn't recommend flashing anything on an s3 that isn't made for s3, unless of course you happen to like buying new phones to replace a brick that you made.

Wrong firmware = BRICK
Before you flash ANYTHING read, read, read,...then read some more.

The current CyanogenMod 11 nightly builds for the "d2lte" device are mostly-stock Android v4.4.4 and very solid on this device.
