[Completed] Aoson M1013 Custom Rom

Dear Devs. I purchased an Aoson M1013 tablet. Basically it is a 10.1 inch cheap quad-core tablet with A9 Cortex processor, 1GB of RAM. Although the specs are not bad, I have the feeling that the software side is responsible for the tablet's weakness. Under weakness I mean several things and symptoms. The tablet died on me twice in a way that it was only willing to boot into its factory recovery which didn't let me move on to any direction. First I sent it to a tablet shop where they refreshed the factory firmware. Then it was working for a time but the the same thing happened again. I managed to reflash the factory rom by myself, I didn't want to pay any more for maintenance, I'm not a wealthy person. Overall there is the experience that it partially freezes for shorter-longer periods of time. It is exactly like it's lagging or something. It freezes at times and then continues operating with hectic window movement while it's trying to make up for the touch input done while it was temporally freezing. It seems to be a processor issue but I believe it is the question of software and governors maybe. Upon activating wifi these freezes mulitply and the tablet gets really slow. Other times it is really smooth and quickly running, this is why I think it is a software issue. It feels as if it had a soul or something, like there was a ghost in the machine or something. Therefore I would like to ask devs to compile a well-working custom rom for this device. So far I haven't found any of these online, although I was able to root the tablet and install CWM on it. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Yes, that's correct that we have no forums or threads about your device.
But if you want, you can build your own CWM recovery with these guides
XDA University: Porting ClockworkMod Recovery to New Devices
Android Development and Hacking > Android Software Development > [GUIDE] Compile CWM Recovery
About root, you can use Framaroot => [ROOT] Framaroot, a one-click apk to root some devices
Good luck

Root and CWM done
Hello
Thank you for the quick reaction, CWM and ROOT are already done. Now what I really crave for is a simple custom rom with no special requests, just a smooth responsive ability to operate the hardware of the tablet. It really seems like the factory ROM is not doing what it is supposed to. As for custom ROMs, I don't know if ROMs for other devices can be installed to this tablet or not. I would like to know if there are any compatible possibilities.

For the last part of your request, I really don't know. It seems that you're the only one with this device here.
But if you follow this guide, you can build your own rom for your specific device

Good luck

[Completed] Gsmart saga s3 root?

Hi all,
Searched everywhere and simply cannot find a solution. Google throws up many fake sites and not much else.
I've purchased a gsmart saga s3, which I'm seriously impressed with, considering my history of a s5 (stolen) both variants of note 2, note 1, mega, s2 and various other devices, all of which I've successfully rooted and done minor development for, so pretty competent though not an expert
I cannot root this device in any conventional method as far as I'm aware. I've tried framaroot, playing around with backups and updates (come to this in a sec) and ADB. I've even gone Into engineer mode and turned root options on and off, as well as engineer mode. This is not dev options, its a function accessed by pressing *#*#something#*#*, can't remember offhand.
The interesting thing is, the phone has a kind of custom recovery already. I can download the firmware directly from gsmarts website and flash it from recovery. This may be a back door?
Anyway, I'm looking for any pointers in the right direction. I wish to remove the bloat mainly, but also try to develop a vanilla ROM for this phone.
I'm happy to try any suggestions at my own risk, have access to a PC, lubuntu, have adb configured but will need step by step, and anything else that may be needed ill try my best.
If there's a solution here I have a feeling a lot of people will love you guys.
Cheers for any and all replies!

Hi,
I can find no discussions on XDA about your device. You would need to ask for help here...

Good luck!

Thanks, don't know how to do that so any chance a mod can do that?
Cheers!

[Completed] I want to root an LG VK700. Where do I start?

I would like to learn how to root a device but I'm not sure where to start. Pretty much I want have a more streamlined system that is more secure. It's currently an android device. LG G Pad VK700. The carrier is Verizon. I have used Linux a lot and done live builds along with kernel builds. Nothing really custom though. I was told this was the forum to hit up.
Where do I get started? Any recommended books?
I'm more interested in learning the entire process of rooting a device and developing and installing a custom ROM than in a quick download this app.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist.
Please check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
It should work as reported here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60319213&postcount=170
Good luck!

[Completed] Custom ROM Suggestions for HTC One S

I rooted and installed a custom ROM on a ZTE Blade, a good few years ago now but for the last 5 years I've happily just made done with my un-rooted HTC One S. I decided today to try and root my device using Kingo and it didn't work, from what I can see, the bootloader needs to be unlocked which will wipe all my data even if i determine how to actually do this.
So if I'm going to do that i figured i should go the whole hog and put on a custom ROM but I've pretty much forgotten anything i previously knew and finding it a bit overwhelming to fish through all of the information available so i am hoping someone can help me and point me to the guides to do the following:
- Unlock the Bootloader (there is also something about S-On which i'm not too sure about?)
- Root my phone
- Install a custom ROM (ideally i want something similar to the standard HTC ROM that I'm currently using just without all the crap and something specifically tuned for extended battery life)
I'm hoping by doing this I can get some life out of my HTC One S for another year before eventually casting it a side.
Any help, guidance and opinions would be welcome!

[Completed] blu studio c super camera flashing and rooted questions

I got this phone, I used kingoroot to delete the bloatware. The build version is D870U_V10.
A few questions:
1. I accidentally deleted the calendar scheduler so I can't use the any calendar and re downloading doesn't work. How do I get it back?
2. I want to flash the new Android Nougat, or at least Marshmallow for now. (I never flashed a ROM before) Is there a version out there for my specific phone? Are ROMs model specific? Same with Kernels?
3. It seems custom recoverys are model specific as I can't find one for my phone. Is this the case and I just am out of luck or is there something I can do?
4. Also, I want to get the stock camera back. How do I find it? It is nowhere on the app store. The stock camera had the fastest shutter speed I ever seen, like an iPhone. So I want it back! haha
I am using kingoroot because it seems that is the only way to root my phone. I just want to make my phone faster and use less space as the BLU super camera doesn't have a super amount of RAM or space...
