Custom ROM problem (Please help) - General Questions and Answers

Hello everyone!
My problem is probably simple for you, but seems an impossible mission for me. I am a not-so-proud owner of Prestigio Multiphone 5400 . I spend two days in searching how this particular device can get a custom rom running on it, but there wasn't even a topic which suggest roms. No youtube videos. Not a topic even here.
So guys if you can help me a little bit here. What ROM should I put? How to make the recovery (TeamWin says that there aare no recoveries for my phone;ROM manager says there are no Compatible ROMs). What is good for me, how to do it? It would be great if you help out a brother in need. Thank you!
*My phone specs are:
1ghz quad core
512mb of ram
**I am rocking a Jellybean 4.1.2, but it is some kind of slow distribution. No updates (just some custom firmware from Prestigio) The ROM can't handle the RAM (I know it's little but i need something which gives more performance.

[Q] dreambook w7 root or develomemt

Hey guys,
I've tried searching everywhere, this while site, Google, androidslate.com etc
But I can't find anything on rooting the Syrngic Dreambook w7, or anything about custom
Roms for it except the official updates from synrgic.com
Do any of you wonderful experts know anything of any rom's or any cooking in the process?
I just really want to get off this stock rom!
Thanks in advance!
Dreambook W7
Hi,
z4Root seems to work as I tried it on my Dreambook last weekend. I got Superuser installed and running but, there is no overclock so far.
As far as Custom ROMs go, I'm still working through the Chinese User Forums to see if there is anything out there. If I find anything I'll post a link here.
yup Z4Root works well.
Custom roms? that would be cool, let us know if you find anything.
Also if anyone has got their dreambook to connect to an ad-hoc network? I would like to know. There are instructions around on how to hack the Hero for ad hoc so I think it must be possible. I want to connect/tether it to my HTC TP2 (WM6.5) for internet rather than having to swap my sim card over whenever I want internet.
Thanks
hi ! i just ordonned mine on chinistore, so do you think the specs can run honeycomb on it?
(sorry for my poor english am portuguese )

hello guys
I saw the official site in the online shop ... there are two types of dreambook w7.
change the price and specifications, it's all written in Chinese ... but from what I understand, there's a w7 GPU Graphic: OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenVG 1.1 (amd z430) ... I think ...
else in the gpu (PowerVR SGX 540).
is possible that there are two versions with different GPU?
thanks
Hi, I am using DB W7. It is running smooth. But some Program crashed (automatically off).

The Dreambook W7 device based on freescale IMX515 processor, have most features like samsung galaxy tab P1000, hope there's custom firmware or an upgrade firmware for that device based on the great Cyanogenmod, coz the official lack of performance, and many trouble with hardware, and the mech. button (back and menu) sometimes bothering when used it with tons of android apps (hope can be modded into soft button such:honeycomb or cyanogenmod firmware)...someone can help or maybe this forum can help us according to dreambook w7...sorry my english is not good enough,
Download Link can be found on orignal forum post
Maybe can build cyanogenmod firmware based from the official one
Cyanogen Mod
Hi Guys i have just found a post about putting cyanogen mod on the Dreambook W7 my handle for that forum is RingoCrazy i am always up for testing new mods i will keep everybody informed

[Q] Denver Tablet Tad 97052

Hi, im kinda new here on xda, so go easy on me.....
I bought a Denver Tablet TAD 97052
9.7'' (24cm) tablet with 1.5 GHz dual-core processor
1GB of DDR RAM memory
8GB memory (expandable)
Android 4.0
I was wondering if there is a way to root it and if there is any custom rom available for it.
Ive searched the whole forum and didnt find anything related...
Best regards..
I also have this tablet and found that there is a lack of information regarding CWM installation and Roms (official and custom ones).
I read on another forum that someone managed to install a cyanogenmod on it...

I Can`t FIND any info

What Up Guys!!!
the phone that I have is galaxy AMP SGH-I407 and I wanna Have a custom Rom on it.
I can not find info anywhere on how to customize this phone, I DID root installing kingo and samsung kies on my computer(thanks to a post in this forum) .
does not have CWM installed.
I'm not sure if this phone supports a custom rom (told you , no info about this model)....or if you can guide me for another phone that shares similar specifications.( I have seen that galaxy SIII mini looks like to have almost the same specs, or galaxy Ace 2 as well)
These are the specs that I think are important

CPU Model: ST-Ericsson U8500
GPU Render: Mali-400 MP
Resolution:480x800
Cores :1GHz (Dual Core)

Never ever try flashing a rom that's not meant for your specific device model cos that's bound to brick it. As for the recovery you'd be better off searching the place where u found the rooting method for it. But remember never to flash anything that's not meant for u abd always have a backup at hand.
THANKS

That's exactly what I thought and THE REASON I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING YET, THANKS A LOT to confirm what I was thinking, I guess I have to wait a professional guy keep an eye on this device I doubt it, though

By then I suggest you download android tuner pro. Its a paid app available on the play store and is capable of doing almost everything that you'll expect a custom rom to do. Also have a look at the thread in my signature. That'll help you a lot too and with much lesser risk of damaging your device.

General information about flashing unknown devices

Hey, I wonder if someone can give me some detailed information about what is important when flashing some unknown devices. I've read one important thing is the CPU has to fit to the ROM. So after some research I found for example cm11 for allwinner A31 CPUs. however I'm a little confused . is is really that simple to have a fitting cpu or do I have to think about other stuff as well? And how is it with cwm? Can I flash any cwm or does it also has to be a specific one?
It'd be nice if someone could point out the most important stuff or maybe give me a beginner friendly link, cause I didn't find something what makes everything clear to me.

There is a lot of things to be consider.

You cannot flash ROM just by only checking CPU. Each ROM is device specific and must not be flashed on another device. It will probably brick your device.
Here is a guide about flashing ROM in general.

Well actually I thought so, I'm used to it cause of my galaxy s2. I just wonder how it works with Roms for unknown devices cause often the ROM isn't made for specific devices.
Looking at this site for example:
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/874...inner-a31-by-christiantroy-update-2013-11-30/
It looks for me as if I could flash it but I know there is more than CPU so I'm confused. In another forum (something with China devices) I also read it's possible not flash stuff not belonging exactly to ur device. Trick would be to take care for some specific specs.
Well idk. Actually I wouldn't even search for something like that if my stock system wouldn't be so buggy

Okay. But I don't think you can flash ROM even searching something common between two devices. Because there's more to it then just those similarities. Because sometimes even variants of the same mobile phone does need some changes in the ROM to work properly.

Hi,
I coudn't find much information about your device here, as you can see from this search result
You're the only person on XDA who's ever asked about this device. :laugh: I'm afraid you're out of luck here then.

Yes, I know no much information about it. Howerver I want to try some ROM for similar hardware like ASUS Memopad 7 or Odys Intellitab 7. Thanks anyway!

It just means no one else is developing for it. If you're hell bent on using a custom rom then you might consider porting one yourself. That's what XDA is about anyway. It's not a rom factory, it's a knowledge factory.
If you're keen then check out the twrp porting guide and the cyanogenmod development wiki. You'll have to also find a root method that works.

Thanks! I'll check the wiki and I'll start to get involved with cyanogenmod development. :fingers-crossed: I'll let you know when I crashed the tablet Thanks again for the orientation!

No worries mate. Just make a new thread in Android General when you're ready. I'll have to close this one now that it's been answered (xda assist limitations.) Good to go!
