Its been a year since I'm using this tablet and waiting anxiously for a custom ROM. I also have a HTC Sensation with CM12 installed and its satisfying (Its freaking Awesome ?). Now about my tablet, the manufacturing company (A Chinese one "Ainol") has abandoned this product providing with no help and updates for this product and the only thing that they provided was a link to a Chinese web page to download an old firmware (Android 4.2.2 build 20140107) which doesn't work as it has a problem with the backlight (turning screen off after 3 sec of last usage until unless I take screenshots continuously or type something) even in the recovery. Right now I have Android 4.4 KitKat "Build 20140414" installed (Which I got from a Chinese forum), it has bugs and a great problem "Shrinking the Internal SD Storage from 32GB (25.5GB which is usable) to 16GB (11.5GB usable)" and the processors are heavily used and more than half of the ram (≈1.1GB out of 1.96GB) is used even with no user apps installed. Battery drainage is faster than ever (Battery capacity is 13000 mAh but it lasts for 7 hours of usage under normal conditions and up to 21 hours of standby). It also provides low fps for apps other than the stock launcher which is not good for gaming. Video playback is good, no problems with that, same with audio playback. WiFi usage is good even at greater distances. There is no support for Wireless display (miracast). HDMI quality is AWESOME but it slows down the tablet. It takes a while to turn the screen on (approx. 3 sec after the power button is pressed). Stock ROM (the one with which the tablet came) was awesome but I don't have it now. I just wanna say that a Quad-Core processor (1.6 GHz) should work better than a dual core processor (my htc's) and smoother.
All I wanna say is that someone please help me and other fellows and develop CUSTOM RECOVERIES and ROMs for this device, I would be happy and be willing to test them on my own device. The online recovery builder(clockworkmod) didn't work giving the error 404. Any help would be appreciated!!! ? Chao! ???

Hi, totally new to this technology so i'm learning from here onwards.
I have a Fusion 5 extra v2 10.1 tablet running Jellybean 4.1.1 ( purchased through amazon.co.uk)
with the following specs
Product Description
Operation System Android 4.1.1
Processor Rockchip3066 Cortex A9 1.5G; Dual Core
Processor Speed 1.4Ghz
Memory 1GB DDR3
Hard drive 16GB
Display 10"TFT HD Capacitive touch screen,1024*600
WIFI 802.11b/g/N
TF Support Micro SD / T-Flash, Max 32GB

I'm looking to root it, and possibly flash it with a custom rom.. ( all dependant on what options I have)
I don't usually like asking for help first as I like working things out, but i would just like a little nudge in the right direction would be appreciated
When loking into rooting this and backing up and updating the OS which sub forum should i be reading? the android one? or could my tablet be a re-badged other type.. ( and if so, what's the best way of finding out)
If the device has a dedicated forum, then all the stuff related to that device will be in that forum and post the questions in q&a of that forum itself.
If it doesn't have one, then use the Android section. ( Android general and q&a)

Good internal storage for some apps.

well since the moto g is out of the picture, i think one of the many BLU phones would be good for you, i have heard good and bad reports about the battery, most of them have 1g or higher gigs of RAM, its seems that lots of their devices (even with small screens) have a great cpu clocked at 1.5ghz dual core or bigger, i think most of their phones are 4.2 and up. lots of choices with 4.5" and up. as for development support, i think they only have root.

Thanks for the recommendation. Though, I have heard of the blu phone series (life, studio, etc.) but there are many negative reviews on them and the ones that are mostly positive are supposedly framed. So, from what I heard was that some of these BLU labelled phones come DOA, other complaints relate to dead pixels, insta-brick (after a week or so of moderate to heavy usage), unresponsive touchscreens, and of course as you stated, battery life.

I was stuck in the exactly same position. But I also needed a removable battery and an external micro SD card slot. So the moto g was not a good candidate. I ended up going with the optimus f7. It has specs similar to gs3. You should check out the reviews and see what you think.

Ahhh yes, I forgot to include external microsd expansion capabilities. Oh yes and thanks, the F7 may not have good dev support but I guess root access is all I need. All I'm really planning to install is Su, viperfx, and some closed modules. Also btw is it possible to skip the boost mobile activation process?

Try Sony xperia M my frirnd
Sent from my Micromax A74 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hello,
I bought phone from aliexpress.com. It should be octa-core, 2GB RAM, fullHD.
I installed CPU-Z and it shows, it has 8 cores, but only 1 or 2 are active at once, even if I run Antutu benchmark in background.
Also, every time I try to install Antutu (doesn't matter if from Google Play or apk), it always install some old, fake version from /system/appbackup/antutu.apk. If I delete this apk, I cannot install Antutu at all (it shows me that Package installer stopped working). Would it be possible to install some kind of edited Antutu, which have another name?
Also, I have never get more the 450 MB of used RAM, so I concluded, the RAM is also fake.
If I take screenshot, the resolution is only 480x854, so I guess, the display is not fullHD. (I tried to count pixels using magnification glass, it looks more like 960x540.)
What would you do? Is there any way to get true specifications of the phone?
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
You didn't mention what phone make and model it is. ?
But I'm going to guess it's a phone that won't have a section on XDA, so you will need to ask for help here...
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Also, I suggest googling it, and possibly contacting the manufacturer with your concerns.
Good luck!
It's Lenovo S960t, but I'm sure it is not Lenovo. In /system/media I found bootanimation.zip for Lenovo, HTC and Xiaomi.
Before I contact seller, I need some proof, that the components are fake.
Yes, there is no section for that device on XDA, so you should ask for help in the thread I linked. Perhaps someone can help you confirm. Or maybe contact Lenovo directly. ?
Hi, the problem with the phone appeared after installing the firmware. The phone began to detect, as you can see on the screens as a framework rather than 512mb and 1gb 1000 mAh battery capacity is 2000 mAh originally. Does anyone know how to fix it can. I have to say that the phone is running slightly worse probably due to the framework. What to do to see the entire RAM. Please help.
Uploader rom again, nothing has changed. Framework still remains 463 MB blocks enclosed map of Mtkdroid can find something wrong.
Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device, so you will need to ask for help here,

Good luck!
I'm currently searching for a new mid-range device but I am having trouble finding a great device with dev support. I was hoping that the fine people of this forum will assist me in this search.
My preferences:
- 5.0 - 5.5in screen (5.5 is generally preferred)
- At least a quad-core Snap Dragon 400 processor or equivalent (even higher if available)
- At least a 720P screen with over 240 DPI
- Custom Lolipop Roms (not a lot, just a stable one.)
- Can be found new on Amazon for $200 - $300
- Nice UI
- Great Battery Life
I know I am asking a lot here, but any help will be appreciated!

I have the LG L90 which I feel is a midrange device at a decent price. Dev activity for this phone is booming.
I got it from T-Mobile for $55. Battery lasts all day (2540 mAh I believe). IR blaster, 720P recording on rear camera. Only thing is, the screen is about 4.7 inches or so and the resolution is only qHD. However, the screen still looks great.
EDIT: MORE SPECS!!!
Qualcomm MSM8226 Snapdragon 400 chipset, Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, Adreno 305 GPU, SD card slot, 8GB internal storage, Corning Gorilla Glass 2, Bluetooth 4.0. There are 3 variants: D405, 410, 415. D415 is the variant T-Mobile sells. D405 has slightly better specs with an 8MP and 1080p camera, and FM Radio with RDS. Not sure about D410. Currently there are Lollipop ROMs for D405 and D415, might be one for D410 as well.
