Last week I bought an android-running tablet that looks like a clone of the Ipad Mini. My problem is, I can't seem to identify it's exact model. Being the chinese-made generic type, I can't get hold of the firmware to update it to JB 4.2.2. Although it's running 4.1 version, the wi-fi reception is just too weak for me. I heard updating it to the latest firmware somehow improves it on that department. So I attached snapshots here hoping some of you guys could identify it, and maybe point me to the updates I've been looking for. Maybe give me a hint what other firmwares I could use on it too. Thanks in advance guys!
Hi all
Just a quick question before i learn how to do it all.
I have a Xoom which is not been modded in any way, running 3.2 i think, the last update anyway that came from Moto.
I only use for internet browsing now and Mobdro for footy and would like to be able to cast/screen mirroring it to my new Roku 2.
So what i like to know is what is the highest version available that will enable casting/screen mirroring and will work on my Xoom.
Also is a stock version just a version from google and not a version that has been tinkered with by a developer?
many thanks in advance
Look in the XDA Xoom Android Development forum. 4.4.4 has been very good on mine and I see an alpha release for Omnirom 5.1.1.
Hi. Im from Europe and have a functional Y01 shield tablet 32/2 LTE with android 5.1.1. (Kill switch was killed)
I would like to ask if is there a way how to put in it the newest official android 7 without killing my tablet.
No-one can give an advice???
Read the kill switch thread?
Not much to it just keep wifi off until you are safe.
Hello everyone,
I was searching for Android One topics here and unfortunately found nothing ( probably because of the confusing name)
So can someone explain what's up with this Android One software overlay.
I read some info on wiki but still have some questions:
Is it like normal firmware that only comes with certain smartphones, or you can flash it yourself?
It's a near stock android but, which version is it based on,
does it come out every time new android version rolls out, or it just gets updated to the new one.
and lastly let's say I have android one phone, and after three years they stopped regular updates,
it's still android one compatible phone right, so I can update to the new version myself?
Thank you.

Hi, Android One are phones that run a lite weight version of Android for budget phones with small specs (under 2Go of RAM, entry level processor,...) called Android Go. It's supposed to give a fluid experience to phones with limited capacity. Each Android Go version (for each Android One device) is in consequences very specific to the device, in order to use efficiently all of what the different specs has to offer.
You can still build ROMs/TWRP for those devices, and use it as a normal device, but the experience will be much slower. So to answer your 3 questions:
1)It's firmware that only comes with certain phones, it's build to use perfectly the SoC and memory, so it's very specific (not generic like GSI)
2) Android One are phones, Android Go is the Android version. Your phone may or may not receive an update to the Next Android version, on that side it's the same as other phones. If it receives an update, you'll run (for example) Android 10 Go Version. So update exists for Android One phones, they won't stay for ever at the same Android version they had at the beginning.
3) when your phone won't be supported anymore, you won't be able to update your phone to another version of Android Go. You'll still be able to flash ROMs or stuff like that, but since Android Go builds are very specific to each devices, you can't flash them "cross devices".
PS: at the moment I've not heard of Android 10 Go Edition, it's still at Android 9 if I'm correct. But it will be updated, the goal of Android one is to support cheap and often not long lasting phone over time.

Hello all, I'm new to the forums as a member but a visitor for years. Figured I would finally join up and ask around about an old tablet I received recently from a friend.
I received a Trio Stealth G5 10 and it seems to be running Android Kit Kat (4.4.2) and doesn't have any official OTA updates to 5 or higher. Due to Kit Kat being highly outdated and what I want to use this tablet for does not support Android 4-6, I was hoping someone out there could help with this predicament, as I have no other devices except a phone that I cannot afford to root at all costs due to its importance to my life (it's a USA Samsung I use with cell service. I'm not having it confiscated or pop up as stolen on the network as it's a lifeline for me and I don't have the money for a new phone).I
Does anyone on here, anyone at all have this tablet too and know how I can get it running Android 7+, even if it's an unofficial ROM?
if anyone knows of Trio Stealth tablets and any TWRP builds and custom unrooted ROMs running Android 7 or higher for the Trio Stealth G5 10, please let me know immediately! I have a very small bit of knowledge in programming so I can also be guided for anyone who can help me build one or both of them myself!
