[Q] Custom ROM for Ramos X10F anyone?

Hello
I recently purchased a Ramos X10F on an impulse buy on a trip to the PP last month. I had been waiting longer than a year for an 8" 4:3 device that was not Apple with expandable memory and this one just made me succumb. Also I fell for the false data in marketing it as a cortex A9 and I thought a quad core A9 should be faster than my dual core A9 in the n7000. Actually it is a A5 or A7 (device details in cpuz mention some A7 blah).
The device has great potential to be an ipad mini killer (at $165) as the hardware fit and finish is very good, the screen is IPS and it weighs only 360 grams. I can hold it in one had lying in bed without tiring myself. However performance is marred by the stock android 4.1.1. Intially I thought it was slow nand flash as when I enabled cpu stats, the nand-rw-flash process appeared to be the top process for a longish time, each time it stalled. However I later discovered, the device is very laggy when Wifi is on while actual WiFi throughput is very good - I get almost full speed 16mbs in the speedtest.net results. Unfortunately even with entropy seeder and a deadline or noop scheduler, the lagginess is only partially improved. Also the old linux/android decision of using input to randomize and seed the entropy is only good for desktops not servers or touchpads. I have to tap a few times to get a app screen to respond inexplicably and suddenly and it shows that the OS was waiting on input. The device is best for streaming as typically once the app is opened I never have a problem with lag a it is typically 15 to 30 mins of viewing before switching apps. Otherwise the poor performance means a task that should take normal time (like reading news in the morning for 15 mins) takes more than twice the time as I have to struggle with the slow app launches and screen loading mostly. But if Wifi is switched off and content is cached, everything is smooth and much better. Battery life is decent with display brightness set around or below 10% typically.
So my recommendation for a new buyer is - dont buy until a custom ROM is made available. Dont fall for the x10pro video on the utube yet. Real world performance is not the same. Once the smoothness of the 4.4.x is acheived it will be a killer product. (It is not a weak cpu either, it is responsive and smooth with wifi off. Although the chip does not support out-of-order execution)
I would like to upgrade the android from its 4.1.1 to a 4.4.x version. Also this version is vulnerable to heartbleed and the openssl bug that came after that in June 2014. The omnirom 4.4.3 on my n7000 is really smooth and I am hoping somebody will develop a custom rom for this device.
But I dont see a custom ROM or CWM for this anywhere. I installed a CWM recovery for another ATM7029 device (yarvik) and it boots, but I forgot about the display driver compatibility and I can no longer view the menu in recovery mode. Otherwise rooted it and running ok.
The specifications of the device are as follows:

What do I need to submit for a developer to build a custom rom for this device? Some kind of dump? Also need a recovery manager with the right display driver. Either TWRP or CWM.
I hope a developer will volunteer.

[q] jlab pro-7

I recently brought a cheap android tablet (JLAB PRO-7) from Staples on Black Friday. Has anyone flashed a rom or did anything with this particular tablet?
I tried rooting it even though it came partly rooted and now evey time it is cut off or it reboots it is back to as if it came straight out the box. Do any one have any idea on a fix for this?

Glad someone else is looking to root JLAB also!
I am desperately looking for info on this also. You left out the biggest surprise and annoyance with this low-end tablet...NO ABILITY TO MOVE APPS TO THE SD CARD!!! This thing is running 4.4.2 for Chris sake! After OS install, you only have 5GB internal memory. I put a 32GB card on it in order to shuffle off the app memory hogs and I can't even use it!!! <calming down...>
As a result, I get "insufficient memory available" errors for many programs. And some won't even consider the tablet for install. I know you get what you pay for, but the specs on this thing aren't awful. It just needs a decent OS on it. I tried loading into the bootloader once and almost bricked it. When rebooted, the "JLAB" opening screen came up and just stayed there...forever. I finally had to leave it on overnight to completely run down the battery to get it back from the abyss.
Please, if anyone has this thing and is able to put a decent rooted OS on it, post it here. Thank you!

+1 any headway?

I got one for xmas from a friend... I was able to root it with kingo root tool for windows.
I hope this helps.
Make sure debug mode is on in developers options.
To enable this mode clicking the "build number" a few times in system settings.
It rooted my device but i ran into a few issues. First every time the device does a full restart it makes me do the welcome wizard also
(unsure if my defective or not) my wifi signal becomes extremely weak even though i am sitting next to the router.

Kewlz now that we have root all we need is a custom recovery. Id be willing to test out a recovery if someone wants to make one.

I found out the all these cheap tablets are rebraned the manufactor is trio they also sell tablets under their own name.

For the love of God please make a room for this. It's often rebranded please let us know if it works with some other room.

I also rooted my Pro 7 using KingoRoot and am now facing the issue of a factory reset every time the device restarts or powers off/powers on. Were you, or anyone else able to solve this problem? Thanks!

I did not resolve the issue. I returned the thing and got my money back. There are much better options out there then this cheapo thing.

There are definitely better options but it was free on cyber Monday at tiger direct. It will be a decent tablet for my young son if I'm able to get it sorted.

I agree with you. But logically it's been a year and these China tablets see no dev love. Unless you know the inners of android OS... I wouldn't suggest it because you will be taking on issues like this alone. ebay the Toshiba Thrive. They are really cheap now and run so much better. If i remember right someone made custom kitkat for it. It's really durable and strong perfect for a kid.

It's been several years since I had an android device but I go the same black friday deal and figured that it would be a great ereader (free). Now I need a little more room so I'm trying to root but both kingo and king root failed for me.. Any ideas? I'm on a mac running windows through a VM but I don't think that is the issue.

Your version is obviously newer as this thread was made last Xmas. As I stated these devices have little to no support so finding a working root would be hard. Your computers os shouldn't matter. If you want an easy root return the device and get a name brand device.

Apex Solo7i TM772 By TMAX Digital

I purchased an Apex Solo7i (TM772) By TMAX Digital from OfficeDepot this past Sunday.
This is an 'Intel Atom' based 7" screen device.
Since many of my recent Android devices already came with access to the SD CARD for app/storage I did not expect to run into app install issues once I added a SD card. I chose this device due to very low price ($40) which I could afford to loose, so that I could read my eBooks while on break at work.
But is seems that I need to 'ROOT' my device to give me this access.
I have tried a number of PC/USB and on tablet based 'ROOT'ing programs and none completed the task or gave on screen message that the device was not supported.
Many of the 'ROOT' routines list they would work with firmware older than July 2014 and per the info screen this device has firmware dated September 2014.
I have read where others have been able to 'ROOT' this tablet, but I have had nothing but failure.

Please help!
[[ I am a former owner of a "Dell Streak 7" and while the device still works from a power source, the built in battery was only lasting >30 minutes. ]]

Hey, I have the same tablet!
Hey, I have the same tablet! Just got it for 40 bucks at officedepot. So far I am SURPRISED at how snappy it is. It scored higher in Antutu than my 150 dollars LG90.
Anyways, I would like to know how to root it too.
In the meantime, I would like to share a helpful tip. You can increase battery life greatly by going into recovery and wiping cache. I got into recovery by holding down power and volume down. Standby time now lasts way longer for me.
Other than the bad battery life and crappy screen, it's a decent and FAST tablet for 40 bucks.

Alcatel One touch pixi getting completely useless

Hello everyone,
My brother have an Alcatel one touch pixi 4007D running on android 2.3. It is a low end phone with the following specs:-
1 Ghz cpu , 256 mb RAM , 2 MP camera , dual sim support and so on.
The problem is that I can't use the device now for anything. The device is getting laggy just by using an app for a few time. Also, when I browse or use hotspot in it for about just 10 min it gets heated up and will shutdown automatically. To cool it again I have to wait an hour by taking of it's battery.
The specs of this device is moreover same as that of a Galaxy Y which works quite fine.
The device is now completely useless. Please help and thanks in advance.

When I used CPU Z on the device and I saw that the core of the device is stopped. This is stopped on every time I checked. Can this be the reason for the problem?

UNEXPECTED SHUTDOWN UMI ROME MTK6753 Octa Core 64Bit 4G

Hello
I have UMI ROME MTK6753 Octa Core 64Bit 4G
From about 1 week, the phone turns off suddenly even if the battery level is above 90 % .
Even not hold a charge even if it is connected to the charger .
I bought the phone in January.
I Wind operator .
For six months there have been no problems .
Suggestions ?
Stefano

Same here.

Which firmware are you on? I have two Umi Rome phones, one on 3.03 and another on 3.04, and neither have this issue. I suggest you go to the umidigi forum to get the latest version (currently 3.05)

I ordered a new battery. Now it works fine...I hope for almost a year...

Hi.
Same here, bought a new one!!!
Firmware 3.01.
Now i have another UMI Rome problem!!!
Everything i touch on the display, do another process, menu or letter!!!
Made a factory reset and stays the same shi...
Thanks.

I had the same problem with my UMI Rome. Noticed the charge dropping very quickly, or the phone randomly shutting down and then after re-enabling the smartphone it was like 40%. Also, battery got a little swollen and I got a new one. It's working but the battery life / time on is not as good as was the stock one (even though it looks 1:1 the same).
I am on Firmware 3.04, updated via UMI software.
I also have a problem with the touchscreen, it's like its getting inaccurate, I have to press way lower than I actually need (like press below a big button to actually click on it). I have to look into recalibration.
On another note (sorry for a bit of an offtopic), anyone tried unrooting / magisk / phh's su to successfully play Pokemon GO? I haven't updated since their 0.35 version because I heard of the root checks and now that they enforced 0.39, I'm looking for a way to play it...
I am really unhappy with the UMI Rome, they promissed way more than they delivered. Battery life since the beginning wasn't satisfactory, now it's super bad. Screen isn't amoled, and there are multitouch and generally touch issues... the metal parts get scratched very easily, the plastic case I got is lowering my wifi reception really bad... Everything seems wrong.
