Hi
I recently bought a vibe x2 from a guy in aus who flashes them with a rom so they can run andriod. Long story short my brother updated the lenovo ui so its back to CU operating system (chinese) the guys overseas for the momeng and tried to walk me through reinstalling the rom he uses but i cannot get it to work. Im going to send it to him when he gets back.but during my trawling for lenovo drivers i came across this
]https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/phones/vibe-series/vibe-x2/downloads/DS101342
According to the guy its a complete ROW rom, it has everything youd need to use it but its beyond his skill level.
Ive looked around here a bit but have never seen domeone use this. Does anyone know how to??
(I am a complete noob by the way when it comes to this sort of thing, hardware i can do a little not software/programming, so layman terms appreciated )

I just ordered the A916 from Amazon and I want to start a forum for this device once i make a new kernel and rom. I have always wanted to do this but I always had a phone that there were already excellent roms for. So I should have my device by the middle of the month and I would like to get a head start but can't find any sources for it. I'm sure that where someone got the A850 stock roms should be able to direct me into the right place.
Emm..A916 and A850 is not...the same phone, you might end up bricking. And kernel for A850 is nearly impossible to even find.
This was sent from my fully-Xposed-modded Lenovo A850 rooted stock ROM via XDA mobile app.
I know that their not the same phone or chipset but was just trying to see how and where about you got your sources. There is not alot of info out on the internet right now about these devices. After I posted I found https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/mediatek/ but I don't think mine is listed or I'm looking at it wrong. I will just extract the kernel from the device and modify it from there.
These are the source codes for Android one devices
Any Luck? I bought my nephew the A916 and Havent been able to find much on it for a custom rom. i didnt realize that all of the settings are in chinese and no way to turn on english. I guess thats why it was so cheap :-/

Hi to everyone, I'm just new here and I am not a developer or anything, I only wanted to ask for some help to anyone out there who also facing the same problem as mine and got solved if ever.. Recently I just got this smartphone from cherry mobile (Cherry Mobile Life 2.0) a chip phone which I can say atleast good at daily usage, when i have decided to root it because i have read so many blog telling that rooting your smartphone brings out the full capacity and customization to your phone, luckily i find some way to root my device using some specific software called "KingRoot" but when i decided to go for installing and using custom rom (if ever theres some custom rom for this device) i found nothing, ive searched the web over and over and yet I cant find anything, hope you could help me guys.. sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance for the help..
Still porting.
I'm still working to port CWM on that phone. Since I'm also working as a CE. By the way, I think I was the first one to post the rooting for that phone in Symbianize and Pinoyden #leejinhee #keivinlee
I'm a complete newbie in the Android world (iPhone user), so I'm so sorry in advance if I'm asking a stupid question. So today I bought an Alcatel Hero 2 from Amazon. The device hasn't arrived yet. The device has Android Kitkat on it and from some youtube review videos I knew that the customized Android version installed on the device is chubby so I thought if I can upgrade to vanilla Lollipop then the performance will improve.
There is very little information on the web about the Hero 2. I only found a webpage (can't post a link here because I'm new but google for "upgrade alcatel hero 2 lollipop" and you'll find it) that says one can upgrade to Lollipop, but it seems to be SCAM. Thus I thought it's better to ask here to get trusted answers since I don't want to get into security problems.
I know what ROMs are and have a little background but I don't know where to get trusted ROMs or if it's possible at all to upgrade my phone. I appreciate any answers.
Many thanks in advance!
Probably not, unless Alcatel comes out with its own Lollipop update or more threads appear here for Hero 2 ROMs.
The Hero 2 isn't very popular, or at least well-known, in the US. I'm surprised you even found it for purchase. Was it on the US Amazon site or a foreign version? Got a link? I was interested in a Hero 2, too, but I could never find it, and now it's getting a little long in the tooth.
Sorry this isn't the answer you wanted. Is it an all right phone overall, though? Reviews were generally favorable.
I don't think there is Lollipop rom for your device.
Hi guys,
any news about lollipop update? Im choosing between Hero 2 and LG G3, but Hero 2 is cheaper for me and it has little bit bigger screen. Any advices please?

My Hero 8 D820X is bricked (tried to factory reset and sth gone wrong) system crushed, i need to flash anything but can find nothing.
Hero 2 has same CPU, so hopefully it would work

This is weird, I looked all over and cannot find any links for original flashing files, not even 4PDA.
But, the rom I ported has no sound (unless you wear headphones), and camera is not working. This was basically just an experiment on trying to port it for first time, but sadly I do not have the device anymore so I won't be able to help much. If you still want to try it, here's the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/resurrection-remix-5-8-5-alcatel-t3913051
Meanwhile I'll try to keep looking for the original stock ROM for your device, there has to be something.
I'll let you know if I find anything.
Hello, guys. Newbie here. I just bought a few weeks ago a Huawei Gplay Mini (chc-01) with the ideea to install a custom rom and use it day by day. But, suprise, my favorite place with custom roms, xda, don't have anything for my phone. The phone is very good for the his price.. But i like to try some custom roms, but no one is developing one . Can anyone help me? Maybe the moderators can make a special category for this.. I don't like the roms made my huawei, but the phones are good and cheap. I had a huawei, and after that samsaung s3 + s4, and now again to huawei. The samsung phones are broking too easy. So anyone can help me with a custom rom light (maybe clean android) and maybe a special category for the phone? I know they are many guys who owns the phone, so xda please, do something. I'm watching this forum everyday for something for my phone., but nothing. Sorry if i post in wrong category, or my english sucks.Have a good day, greetings from Italy.
Nothing for me?

It recently sent Official Marshmallow update to G Play Mini devices to Asian countries. But sadly there are no custom ROMs for this device.
ROM Needed
Wow, we sure have no update on this one. Any one working on custom ROM for Huawei G Play Mini, i.e, CHC-U01?
Hey guys,
I recently bought the cheap, but pretty fast "Dragon Touch X10" from TabletExpress. However, I had some troubles with the Android 4.4 installed and I was thinking to give it a try with a custom ROM. I have to say, I have been reading here for some hours, but I am kind of lost. I realize that most of the tutorials here are speicifically adressing more well-known models like samsung etc.
I think, what I want is something like the "Kangapop", a ROM which is basically like the plain android stock version from google.
Can I find somewhere instructions of how to flash such an unknown model?
Unfortunately, I cannot post the link for this tablet as a new user... The brand is "TabletExpress" and the Model is Dragon Touch X10.
Thanks in advance!
Does anybody have at least a hint where I could read or learn to figure it out by myself? I am a bit overwhelmed with the information out there.
Thanks!

Hello dear,
ROMs is specific for every device model, that means that you can't use rom from other devices for yours. :/
Thank you
