Hello, I have a new Asus_X550 (the Pegasus 2 Plus), running Android 5.1.1.
Since I bought it in China, there are pieces of it in Chinese, which I don't want. Therefore, I'd like help with *one* of the following, in order of preference (the best being #1)
1. Can I flash Android 6.* onto it? How?
2. Can I flash some other custom ROM? How? I checked, and it doesn't seem to be supported, at least not by CM. I've seen the one article all over the place claiming to do it, but I'm unsure of the legitimacy of the ROM given, esp since the download requires surveys and such.
3. How can I replace the Chinese app drawer and UI?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a phone that's offbrand, from a chinese company I believe with the brand "JHM" on the back.. It runs Android 5.1 Lollipop and the ROM that came factory installed on it has adware built in and it slows down the phone tremendously.. I have a screenshot attached if anyone can point me in the right direction of the stock ROM for my phone.. Also I am a newbie and this whole Android Modding / ROM thing, however I have installed CM on a Nook before haha.. I appreciate any replies and help, thanks!

Hello guys, I recently bought an Asus Pegasus 2 Plus (X550) and I wasn't aware that it had only been launched in China.
It has the official rom for android lollipop and since it was released in china it has a lot of chinese apps (launcher included).
My question is: Is there any custom rom that I can use to flash this phone and have the google services, playstore, maps as i want or am I stuck with this chinese launcher?
I've googled a little bit and I oonly found some suspicious threads with the same comments all over and a survey download that seems not safe.
If I root the phone and decide not to flash it, can I uninstall this launcher and install another one instead? I've been doing some research and I think that if I do this, I still won't be able to install the google apps. The launcher is asus shengshier.
Thanks in advance.

Hi There,
I've just got one of these Chinese phones and the stock ROM is terrible, has anyone else had one and put a better version of Android on it? For some reason it is forcing me to install certain apps from some random website rather than the Google Play store, and also if I do manage to install an app it puts the icon in a little box rather than displaying the correct icon. It would be nice to get Cyanogen Mod on it but I can't find it in their supported devices list, I'm hoping that as with most of these Chinese devices it's just a generic device that has been re branded by Xgody and therefore compatible with Cyanogen.
Cheers

Hi,
some time ago i bought a 50€ chinese tablet to mess with. It has android v4.0.4 on it and is very slow/ has a lot of useless stuff. In my attempt to educate myself on Android OS, I'm trying to build my own custom rom for it using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801690
I'm at the point where I could repack my work and flash it to this tablet, but all i've achieved so far is simplified version (less random apps) of existing rom.
I want to update this tablet's android version but I'm completely unsure how I'm supposed to do that and google isn't being of any help as the search results are just bunch of those irritating blog posts that in nutshell just explain how to plug your usb cable into your pc.
No updates are provided by the manufacturer himself (duh).
Do I have to get desired android version's source code and integrate it with existing files or something?
Any help is appreciated.

OK so I'm trying to get a cyanogenmod ROM for my tablet, but it's so generic that one hasent been created for it. I need help from some developers because I'm a complete noob at android os development. I'd prefer to be taught, but all tutorials I have found say I need a previous cyanogenmod (which isn't developed yet for it). But if teaching is to much work than I'm happy just getting the rom developed. Thanks in advance and anything you need relating to the device I'd be happy to supply (is a generic all winner a23 tab with 4.4 installed, but I also have a backup for 4.0.4)
