[Q] Android noob, Generic device, A few questions?

First let me introduce myself. The name is Darcy and I have been casually using linux and other *nix OS for about a decade. I am in school working on a programing degree ATM, and am a pretty quick study. Anyways, I without much research bought my wife a generic 7" tablet running android 1.6. I know what processor it has and Im hoping that leads me to a place to start. Ok so the device is a "Kasser Net'sGo" we didnt realize that its just a china pad with another companys name on it when we ordered it. So most of the apps dont run correctly, and in general the device sucks(on a software level the HW is fine although generic).
Anyways it apears that i can get into recovery mode to flash if i had no other choices. But since there are no official roms im hoping to find a build thats based on the same CPU or similar hardware to find a starting point. Its running the Marvell Aspen 800mhz chip and standard ddr2. Sadly thats all we have been able to find out about this device.
I have compiled custom builds for linux before, and i have now purchased a Gtab so i have a less garbage device to test some things on(i have allready flashed 2 different roms and fooled with a bunch of the settings). But we would realy like to do something with this other tablet. So if anyone can point me in the direction of some info on how to do android builds or a repository of chipset drivers and such that might help me that would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] which rom will work on following config ?

Hi Recently purchased a tablet for which I am not able to find any custom ROM. The configuration is as follows .
processor - 1.2 Ghz Cortex A8 Dual Mali 400 2D/3D core
The model of tablet is Micromax funbook Infinity p275. I have gained the root access for the tablet but cannot find any custom ROM for it .Is there any ROM for a device that will work o this device too?
I ran the application "android system info" on the device and found the following information
CPU-ARMv7 Processor rev 2(v71)
build info-
CPU ABI-armeabi-v7a
The tablet does not have any volume rocker keys.It only have home and power keys in it and a reset button hole.
Thanks

This is why I would have found out if there was support here on XDA first before purchasing. I don't understand why People buy cheap or uncommon devices then come here asking for things like ROMs or rooting.

because not everybody have money like you to afford the tablet they wish for, and I think that's the forum for, to ask help, nobody hit your had, and nobody will, if you won't help, so stop with those noob answers.

You can always buy a used tablet that *used to* be popular and thus has development from when it was or might still have some going on.
I would not buy such a tablet unless I planned on playing it to try to make a ROM myself - if it was even possible.
You can get a decent Android tablet with decent amounts of development for like, $100 new so I don't think it's asking that much when it comes to buying a "gadget" that's not necessary.

[Q] 4.7" Android 4.1 Phone "Vanern"? Could not find info.

Hello,
I am looking to buy a new android smartphone, no contract, with T-Mobile. It's for my mother; her main criterion is having a big screen. I looked around and found this:
4.7 Inch Touch Screen Dual Core Android 4.1 Phone "Vanern"
www(DOT)chinavasion(DOT)com/china/wholesale/Android_Phones/Large_Screen_Android_Phones/4.7_Inch_Touch_Screen_Dual_Core_Android_4.1_Phone_Vanern_-_3G_512MB_RAM_4GB_ROM/
(Sorry, I can't post links yet.)
I could not find much info about this phone at all except at the website where it's sold. Does this phone go by another name in the US, or is it really some foreign phone with not much info available? Would it still be possible to root and flash a custom ROM for this phone?
Also, if you have recommendations for other budget, big-screen phones, please let me know. Thank you.

Samsung s6 firmware?

Hi Everyone
Please bare with me as this is my first post on the site as it was recommended to me. Also bare with me even more as I don't know much about Android firmware.
Ill try to give you guys as much information as possible, I purchased a Samsung S6, or what I believed to be an S6. Im not so sure!
Its showing as running Android 5.0 but it seems to be lacking functions that makes me believe its not a legit phone. Could I try and put a different version of android on it to see if it will run? As I have lost lots of money
Heres what it says in the about settings to help you decide if I can do anything..
Android Version 5.0
Model Number SM-G920F
Baseband Version G920FXXU1AOBN
Kernel Version 3.10.54 [email protected] #1
Build Number LRX22G.G920FXXU1AOBN
Custom Built Version SEPG_SM_G920F_5.0.2_0008
Hope this makes sense to you guys
Is there anything I can do to salvage the phone?
Thanks very much
Ryan

I'm sorry to tell you this but that is a fake Galaxy S6. Demand your money back and post where you got the phone from to let other's know where not to buy from as well as letting everyone know what a scammer this guy is.
From the info it looks the same as the issue in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/sim-unlock-destroyed-software-t3123505
To confirm a fake though, go into Download mode (with the phone off, hold volume-down + home button + power button). If Chinese text shows up then unfortunately it is a fake.
There are many youtube video's showing how to spot S6 fakes. There's even a video of a Chinese guy who's the manager of a counterfeit factory in Shenzhen producing the newest version of a fake who is trying to market the fakes to distributors. He goes on to show how their fake S6 is the best fake S6 around showing off all the features that the inferior fakes do not have like the "fingerprint sensor" (which is just a capacitive button so accepts any finger input) etc. They even cloned the Briefing app when you swipe left on the homescreen and many other things.
EDIT:
I couldn't find the original video but found another video of the same guy here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8X1LLZkL1c claiming their model is "99% like the original". He's so proud of his fake the way he shows it off.
EDIT:
Huh, it runs on a Mediatek 6592 Octa-core CPU. I guess it's a "decent" phone if you bought it at the distributor price knowing that it's a counterfeit instead of buying it at retail price. Their S6 link is down but their iPhone 6 fakes selling for around USD$150. A fake S6 for $150 doesn't sound so bad.
