[Completed] Orientation support in Android Box - XDA Assist

I am new to this community and Android devices. I have recently bought Android Box device in which I want the following 3 features.
Orientation switching
I need a switch from where I can change screen orientation between landscape and portrait
I tried installing apps that claim to enable orientation rotation option but does not work. How do I get this feature?
Retain time
This device has American Trends BIOS version 2.16.1242
Core BIOS version 5.008
When I set the time in BIOS and start the device, wrong time is shown for a few seconds and then the time is corrected automatically. I think the OS gets the correct time from BIOS
I don't want to device to be dependent on time for BIOS. Can anything be done about this?
Remove scrolling wallpaper
There is not option to remove the scrolling wallpaper and have the good old single screen wallpaper. How do I get this?
Here are the details of the device.
My wintel Box firmware detail:
- Model no. w8
- Android Version 4.4.4
- IFWI version 5.6.5
- Kernel Version 3.10.20

Thanks in advance

[Completed] [Q] Huawei Y511-T00 Rom in English

Hello All,
Long time lurker but finally I have not been able to find a solution to my problem.
I made the mistake of purchasing a Y511-T00 on a recent trip to china after quickly reading the box which said WCDMA. There was a sticker on the side however that said TD-SCDMA. Anyway finally home I realise no 3G. Which I can live with 90% of my time online is via wifi and mobile wifi device.
The issue has come now where I need to get a better ROM for the phone. I have some half baked english rom that is laggy and does not save credentials for facebook etc. In fact I am at a point where I would not mind getting the Huawei stock with emotion UI. The details of the phone are as follows
Model Number : HUAWEI Y511-T00 (China Mobile)
Android version : 4.2.2
Baseband version MOLY.WR8.W1319.MD.TG.MP.V4.P18 , 2013/07/31 15:37
Kernel Version 3.4.5
Build Number : Y511-U30V100R001C328B120
Hardware version : VER.A
If anyone can assist with a guide on how to change the rom and maybe confirm if i can use the y511-u00 roms as I need something in english I would greatly appreciate it. Also any directions to a forum for support for this phone with other users in English would be great
Thanks so much

[Completed] [Q] How to flash TY_Q8H generic chinese tablet

Hello,
To start with, I'm new to Android. I work in IT and have always been a windows/linux desktop user with combination of Windows phone/maemo/IoS for mobiles.
Basically my Nannu has handed me a tablet he picked up cheap and wants me to set it up. All seems to be running ok, set up a gmail account, checked wifi/camera etc are working. Then noticed that when launching the browser it defaults to google.com.hk. If I change the homepage in the browsers settings it reverts everytime I exit the app and relaunch.
Also little problems such as signing into skype fails, despite correct credentials and if i select the "trouble signing in" option I'm taking to a chinese version of skype website.
I've reset to factory defaults but this doesn't make a difference.
So I'm looking to flash the device with a ROM as suspect one currently loaded is custom Chinese ROM.
I've rooted the device and was looking at Shuame to flash it but unfortunately my Chinese is a little rusty/non-existent.
I thought maybe I could remove the default browser using Kinguser but it won't allow me to remove as its a system component.
There is no model info on the exterior of the tablet. Here is from the "about tablet" section in settings:
Processor: DualCore -A23
Model Number: TY_Q8H
Android Version: 4.2.2
Firmware Version: v2.0.8
Kernel Version: 3.4.9 [email protected] #365
Build Number: TY_POLARIS_ENG 4.2.2 JDQ39 20140528 test-keys
If anyone can advise or point me in the right direction for where I can find a ROM and a good tool to use to apply this I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I couldn't find anything relevant on your device on XDA. You can ask here for help and perhaps someone knows of something.

[Completed] Updating OS on a Visual Land VL-107?

Hello. I'm not sure if this is a good place to ask, but at this point, it can't really get much worse. I know that this is a good, reliable site, and I figured that if anyone could help me, they'd be here.
I got a VL-107 (Visual Land Prestige 7) the other day and it's been a nightmare. I can't use Pandora because it crashes constantly, I can't use my favorite texting app because it freezes and crashes the moment I start typing, I can't use Snapchat because "my device isn't compatible". I spent several hours yesterday just getting the Play Store installed and working.
I suspect that the OS is the main problem (4.1.1, but I've never seen such a horrible Android OS, so I don't know if it's clean), and I'd like to update to a more recent Android version (hopefully 4.4.2 or so). I've seen a lot of stuff talked about, like Clockwork Mod, something called LiveSuit, etc but the most recent .img file I've seen was I believe 4.0.3, so obviously that's not what I'm going for.
In some places (maybe tabletroms), I've seen talk of people being able to make modifications by treating their VL-107s as "Allwinner tablets", but I didn't fully understand whether that would still be valid. I'm willing to do some experimentation with updating if need be, since at this point I basically consider the tablet as good as bricked.
I have a basic understanding of installing ROMs, and my tablet is rooted. There are no system updates available.
Specs (I don't fully understand these, so go easy on me):
Model Number: VL-107
Android Version: 4.1.1
Baseband Version: inet1.0_20121016
Kernel Version: 3.0.8+, [email protected] #19, Fri Jun 21 14:04:01 CST 2013

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Based on the kernel version, looks like you have been upgraded to something custom already, and it's buggy. You may want to go back to 4.0.3 for some stability. At that point, some of the failed apps you tried may start working (assuming they don't have a minimum requirement of JellyBean or KitKat).
I would, check out this thread, it's the best place where your device experts can be found:
> General discussion > Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking > Creating a Backup/Recovery/Dump
Note, in order to post there, you will need to have an XDA account.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

Thanks a lot, I found out that I'm registered already so I'm going to head over to that board right now and see what I can find. I'm happy to go back to an older version if it means a working tablet.

[Completed] Can't view videos with the YouTube app on Android Car

I have an Android Car Device in my Suzuki S-Cross SX4.
In the first 6-7 months I had it the YouTube App worked properly with no issues.
Since some time back (maybe it was an automatic update to the app and I didn't notice) I get a black screen with colorful sparkling dots when trying to play view and the sound IS playing properly.
What I've tried so far:
1. Delete the app and reinstall.
2. Clear Cache / Delete app data.
3. Force stop and then start it again.
4. Reboot the device (with mixing 1-3 steps again and again).
Nothing seems to help!
When I try to run YouTube with the Chrome app I get video output with no issues at all but of course I rather use the App itself than Chrome.
I get the network connection from using HotSpot from my LG phone.
The device is not some known company is a custom Rom that I didn't find on the internet from a company called "Road Rover".
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
When I try to attach images for better understanding and more info about the device from settings I get this message:
"To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!"
