I Can`t FIND any info - General Questions and Answers

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)
Architecture: ARM Cortex-A9.

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

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.

[Q] General Questions about ROM´s

Hey,
in the last Time I deal with modifying CustomROMs and I want to know what are the prerequisites so that an ROM works?
So, why I cant install a Nexus4 ROM on a SGS3?
I love the new UbuntuOS but I have a MT6577 processor phone, what are the Requirements that I can run the UbuntuOS
I hope this Question is not so stupid
Thanks..

Each phone has different hardware and so a kernel compiled with the drivers for this hardware, as well as changes to suit the hardware within the ROM (for example screen sizes, different sensors etc)
Android is not like windows/linux you can not simply install one ROM from one device to another
the current system requirements for UbuntuOS are found here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone/operators-and-oems
Thanks for this Answers
is it possible to extract the Kernel and put it into another ROM.
And if my Phone bricked caused by a false ROM, cant I flash the Old ROM or at least flash the Recovery?

Sure you can install Ubuntu Desktop on an ARMV7-based android device.
See this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1872752
What is more, Ubuntu for Phone may be released soon. Just wait for a few months.

It's going to be impossible unless you are a programmer yourself. That's the cost of buying a knockoff phone I'm afraid.

That's "permanent".... or you can "find" someone who can do it for your device. What you can read by "it never gonna happen" ^^
Thread moved to General Q&A.
Aside from the name there is likely nothing in common with the other devices. I highly recommend not flashing anything made for the S4 as there is a good chance it brick your device.
You'll need to look for android exploits that work on your specific version of android and create a custom version of your devices own ROM and recovery.
Bloatware kill without root????

[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...

[possiblity?] firmware port

hi guys
just wondering if it is possible to port the tab 3's firmware to our tab 2.
i know that samsungs last update for our device (and all other dual core devices) will cease at 4.2.2 due to the future O/S requiring quad core processors but think it would be cool if we could port the latest O/S
sorry if this is in the wrong section
and i have looked through google before asking but cant find nothing on the subject.
thanks in advance

I think it depends on which rom you use, rom cook or stock.
If you use rom cook then you can find a rom in I9500 Development section.
If you use stock rom then you can download the suitable version here: www.samsung-updates.com/‎
You're gonna need odin, Kies to flash the rom. Further instructions you can search in the forum I think.

Hi,
Thank once again for your help. I´m not sure what rom is used because I buy the phone from a guy that was selling in a small market, I am pretty sure is a copy, the brand is SPRD. I do think that Samsung rooms are no suitable for this device so It as to be one used by this brand and model. The room in used is jdq39.i9500zsuamdf.
I´m new in android area, up until now I´ve been used IOS phone, so I be thankful to any help I can get to put this phone running.
Regards,
Carlos

Sorry I don't really get it. Basically is your phone Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 (causer there are different version for Galaxy S4 I9505, I9506...).
You can check this by going to Settings ->More-> About Device-> MOdel number to make sure.
Regarding the SPRD, where is it on the phone ? I think it means Singapore.

Hi,
The phone is a clone, not an original Samsung, it was made in china. The SPRD I think stands for spreadtrum. After some research it came to a conclusion that this phone are also known as Feiteng.
So my main problem is not sure what rom to use.

Well. sorry Carlos, in this case i don't know which rom to use to flash your phone cause Chinese Branded Phones are not well supported on XDA.
Let's wait for someone else who may know the solutions.
Good luck !

Hi Charles, I have the same mobile than yours, if you want I can spend the rom, but has a couple of problems, 1-supuesamente this rooted but using apps as root unninstaller, the app gives a message that says "your device is not rooted ... "but with other apps like SET CPU if that is rooted out. if still want it I'll pass, but could you tell me the exact steps to extract the rom. and you could send your rom that you will try to fix that problem of yours. PD maybe the problem is that you put your other launcher and you selected as the default, and surely this launcher is not supported by your device which produces a black screen. ee had problem when you install a miui launcher. regards PD2 if accomplished putting on the ro stock or you fixed your problem I pray you send me the link to download the rom or I upload the back up of your rom.
