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
Steve Goral

I've bought a Samsung Galaxy A710 from china and it doesn't have any of the google services on it. i was wondering if there is a way to get them?
I have tried installing the APK, but after the app installs, it does not run properly.
I was also wondering if the was a way of getting rid of the chinese news page and the rest of the chinese notifications the randomly popup. Maybe by getting a different rom?
Device:
SM-A7100
Android Version:
5.1.1
Thank you

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.

So I have a tab 2(not sure which version as I dont have the box anymore) it's a pt3110 or 3100, which i have installed umbuntu(I think) on a while back, I dont have any backups anymore as I have deleted a lot of stuff from my pc but I wanted to re-install android on the tablet as I wanted to use the tab.
I have looked on the web but I could only find tutorials on how to UPDATE the tablet but as it has been wiped clean updating is pointless(right?).
The version of android doesn't matter as long as the tablet can be used again.
regards

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)
