[Completed] [Q] Problem with contacts backup/restore - which forum is most appropriate? - XDA Assist

I use CyanogenMod without GApps, and Titanium Backup for backup/restore. Never had a problem with it until now.
Today I tried to migrate from CM11 on one phone to CM11 on another, and my contacts restore is behaving really strange. A few factors made me post here first:
A lot of people are only used to android with GApps, or backup via Google. So replies are often distracted by advice to use Google, or people questioning if Android can work without GApps.
The issue to focus on isn't clear - is it CM, Titanium, or Android basic structures (profiles? accounts?) that's responsible? Should I use a phone-related forum for it?
Any tips where to ask, ideally with likely high quality answers :laugh: , would be much appreciated!

[Completed] Custom/stock Android ROM's for more obscure phone(s)

My phone is an Alcatel onetouch spop 4030X and I'm basically wondering if it's actually possible to get any custom/stock ROM's on a device like this?
I'm pretty new to all this stuff. I just recently rooted my phone so that I could mess around a bit and also use some of the cool apps that need root access. Thing is, whilst my phone is no where near high end, or probably very popular, I would love to be to try out some interesting ROM's like Cyanogen, though tbh I'd be more than happy with stock android, especially if it's a newer version than mine (4.1.1).
So yeah, is it possible to something like this on a device like mine?
Thanks.
Hi,
I can find nothing relevant on XDA for your device. You could try a google search to see if anything exists out there.... And you can ask here if you wish,

Flashing stock firmware could be an option.
As there is no specific forum for your device on xda, you have to ask in a general forum.
Here is what a friend (@R_a_z_v_a_n) found:
Sorry, but I don't find anything related to your device, so you must post this question in general Q&A forum from here:

[Completed] Android Malware

I have an Android device that has been infected with some sort of RAT or trojan horse (I suspect AndroRAT or Adwind, but I'm not too sure). I have tried resetting it back to factory settings, but the malware is still there. Will re-flashing the stock firmware get rid of it? Even if it is embedded deep into the system or into the kernel? If this is the case, how can I get rid of it? There seems to be no powerful Android Antiviruses at the moment. I want to make sure it is 100% completely removed. All input will be greatly appreciated!
Sir,
Understand that XDA Assist is not a help desk and you are already posted 3 threads here with this one, hope is the last one.
Please review this thread : Some Safety Tips to Prevent your Android from Malware

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Custom ROM's are specially tailored to the device, so you will need to find a developer who has the same one. However, I couldn't find anything of that make and model.
At any rate, create an account, so you can post in the rest of the site. Particularly, you will want to the [HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly thread of the > General discussion > Questions and Answers forum. Be sure the share the same specs of the device as you did here, so they know what they are working with.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

Hello.
I would try the above links first. You may find others with the same tablet. Otherwise (and this has been done for other devices, even popular ones), you may need to give a device (same make and model) to an interested developer (as they don't like to build blindly).
Not a whole lot of options, but that is something you can tease out (if there are more) on the General Q&A forum.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Glad you are interested in helping out!
The > Android Development and Hacking > Android Apps and Games forum contains many apps, and a few questions regarding apps. But really, (it seems) most app questions will go through to the > Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum (the one I linked before - sort of a catch-all question forum for rare devices and not particular to a device at all).
With regards to the tablet, one with similar specs (read....chipset) can help a developer out as a starting point, but the ROM will still need to be customized for that device to avoid bootloop.
Time to release you out into the world! The Purpose of XDA Assist is to point those who need assistance in the right direction, not to be a helpdesk (which I am fine with providing a little extra information, like the above paragraph ). With the forums mentioned in this thread in hand, you should be off to a great start with XDA. Take care.

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
A custom ROM probably isn't going to fix any internal storage issue. Unless your stock ROM has a lot of bloatware, a custom ROM could make it worse with the GApps package. Better off removing the updates to any bloatware APK's (thus taking them off internal storage) and then freezing/disabling/quarantining them (hopefully from future updates).
But to do all that, you will still need root.
Please register for an XDA account, so you can post in other forums. There is very little resources for your device (one thread, and no ROMs), but, there is this thread:

Hi Joel
Thanks for your quick reply.
My ROM has a lot of bloatware installed. I have tried to root it with Power SU but I am not able to un-install those bloatware apps.
You are correct with custom ROM I can face issue with the GApps. Which I am facing with my another mobile Samsung Galaxy Fit GT-S5670.
My Tablet is not allowing me to installed any app due to those bloatware.
Thanks

Hello again,
Not sure if the problem you are facing is PowerSU not rooting the device, or that you have root, and the apps still cannot be disabled.
If it's the latter, Titanium Backup Pro can freeze them (or on the free side, there is "Disable Application").
If it's the former, finding a working rooting tool can be a hassle, but this page can give you a start as to which ones to try.
Unfortunately, that's all I can think of. If you need more help, I would check out and use the thread links posted earlier, as other people will have different experience on what works and what doesn't (especially for those who have your device or something like it).
Good luck!
