Just wondering if anyone is working with the Chinese for this phone? They seem to be putting out some interesting ROM's... I'm wondering if they're safe?
http://bbs.nubia.cn/forum-737-1.html
Managed to find a CM13 on there that actually works with Mobile Data for China Unicom....also CM14.
Every Chinese handset I've purchased has come with root level malware, so no I wouldn't trust them.
[ROM] ZTE Nubia Z11 NX531J ( International ROM )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/-t3523235
!~!
I would rather a country I will never visit intercept my calls than the country I live in... Just saying.. A cellphone IS a piece of malware... Socially Engineered into our everyday "existence" that is Acme-dubbed "Reality." And a re-partition will cure any root level anything... IMHO the AsiaPhones have always been superior. After all, that is where the tech is made, tested, and leaked....first. Case in point.. The Mi Mix, Elephone P9000, Nubia anythings... And before that Sharp Aquos... Which is ONLY NOW being adapted into the "new"curved or non-existant bezels and edgeless displays... And you don't have asshole conglamos like Samsung and Apple locking up your devices and preventing access to system partitions. Hell.. Some chinese mfgs are MOD and FLASH FRIENDLY!
Be careful where you cast the first stone of hate towards the AsiaPhones...You think that American Labeled older chinese/japanese/korean phone you call new in your hands ISN'T bugged as well?? Uhhhh... how do you think you can find a lost phone? Why do you think companies are no longer allowing batteries to be removed??? Remember.. All your "Anti Virus" software are mfgrd by either American companies, or members of the 5 eyes. Clever, no? OFCOURSE all of the software will auto tag russian and chinese scripts as malware... That is the nature of war and err'ing on the side of caution. I mean, China has been the main, major focus in Western Culture as the "evil hackers" who want to know everything about us.. Well.. Did their govt get assraped by wistleblowers on an embarrasingly high number of times? Did they get exposed to be filtering ALL data traffic EVERYWHERE including ALLIES?
Americaphilism is both sickning and blinding to the rest of humanity. And just how blind society can be to the truth staring them dead in the eyes, yets cleverly disguised with smoke and mirrors and cool flashy gadgets... Don't be a Trump!
After all, after the first, IDK, 3 years of hearing about China being uberh4x0rz I found a new country to point all of my VPNS out from..... So I honestly even wonder how much China traffic is actually CHINA TRAFFIC... It has been said and it is recorded in the Hackmageddon Archives, that I personally accounted for 3% of MALICIOUS TRAFFIC coming out of China from 2010 until I was raided in 2012 due to me scraping China IP blocks and specifically the gov blocks, then utilizing them as the Red Herrings in the operations I was conducting. So I would postulate that roughly 30% of malicious traffic from China is indeed just VPN noize from hackers/hacktavists going with the status quo...
Nubia z11 nx531j Chinese phone with international rom
Hi excuse me I have buy Chinese version nubia z11 and I would like to know it's possible to install Europe International firmware 1.15 inside? Without twrp? Thanks
I am just afraid for brick
The Chinese stock rom (2.10) is superior in all respects to the international stock even already brings google play services and you can install google play from the nubia store, I have 1 week using it and it has gone better even the sound has better Quality I think the Chinese rom is light years of the international
Do you have a link please?

Need advise on getting a Docomo Sharp Aquos Sh-01D.
Does anyone have any experience in using a Docomo phone ? I'm have the following concern:
1. Will I be able to get any updates if I'm using the phone outside Japan when I'm using another Telco sim card ?
2. Generally does it comes with built-in English GUI support ?
3. Does it support other language like Chinese ? If not can I get any chinese pack installed ?
I'm attracted to the design of the phone and thus I have got someone who is traveling in Japan to buy on my behalf.
Need some advise; and this is going to be my first android device.
Docomo smartphone question
Hi hagenuk
1. Will I be able to get any updates if I'm using the phone outside Japan when I'm using another Telco sim card ?
For updates, you can use wifi connection. If you are using other telco sim it might be possible but I cannot you give any guarantee. With wifi it is most of the cases.
2. Generally does it comes with built-in English GUI support ? Yes Japanese Phones nowadays are with English GUI. Most of the time Japanese and English are available and other languages for some models like Xperia and galaxy's.
3. Does it support other language like Chinese ? If not can I get any chinese pack installed ? With Xperia models definitely yes but other models
most likely not. With android you can purchase language pack for Chinese. Because in my case with non Japanese Android phone, I can install Japanese language support like atok from market.
for Q3.
I've tried install morelocale
And it doesn't get full chinese GUI
But in some app which support chinese(eg.google+/gmail), they can display chinese.

Same with T01d, the settings is still in default language.
for Q1:
If it's a software update you must be in Japan with a ntt docomo sim card to update.
If it's a major update you must first have your phone updated to the latest version before you update using wifi or PC, i.e. software update (if ever exists) is a prerequisite of a major update. Changing proxy as on SH-12C might work but who knows.
hi i just got this device for my bro in Singapore
Its great and all the hardware features easily knocks competition out of the way. Its fully software unlock means any sim card can be used and data / 3G / WIFI / tethering all fully working. My bro using it in english not sure about Chinese.
Only disadvantages are I feel is during gaming the phone heats up (due to duo core and its amazingly thin design its brightness would be forced lowered to reduce temperature but other than that not problems. it will not force restart like what those folks are experiencing with the LG optimus 2x ) Battery drains super fast hahas (might want to consider the optional 2500mhz battery ). But I play Dead Space on it a graphics intensive game its awesome. Also I dun think anyone on xda is developing this device so it might be hard to get it rooted. But who cares!! its great!!!
PS: If its really hot you can do this watch the video

Yeah, it does heat up! It takes about 25 minutes playing a graphics intensive game (I was playing The Last Defender HD) for it to start getting very hot. And the game sometimes hangs or gets choppy.

Playing any game or browsing drains the battery amazingly quickly. I think it's more than 15% in 30 minutes.
Hi all!
How about changing proxy? I need to check if there's an update.
Phone reboots like 3-4 times a day and receives text messages late...
Maybe there's some updates that can fix it...
Regards
Kappa
PS: i've already tried to wipe it, but persist. I buyed it in Akihabara and made the unlock with a Japanese friend in a NTT Docomo shop...
Hey:
I can totally relate to you. I love the Docomo design.
However, IF you live anywhere besides Asia, I would actually not recommend purchasing it.
I lived in Beijing for a year and I bought the phone. I used it there for a few months then came back to the States. Back home in Colorado, the thing is just for looks. The phone would constantly lose connection; I had to keep CPR-ing it everytime it hit a place with low signal. A lot of the programs, cool quirks of the phone is disabled anywhere outside of Japan. You can basically just do the simple text and call. It may have improved now, but I wasn't even able to connect online with the phone.
Yes, you can get Chinese installed. My phone had Japanese, English, Trad. Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.
If the price was not so high ($500+), I would've be more inclined to suggest you buy it.. I mean, their designs are gorgeous. BUT... Personal experience, my phone was priceeeey and I used it for no more than 3 months before I finally forfeited and used an ugly Tmobile phone.
Just my two cents; let me know what you decide either way!

Any success to get OTG working on an SH01D?
Im very sorry if this doesn't go here but since I couldn't find any forum related to custom-built phones I gave it a shot.
Ok the thing is I recieved a Custom-made android phablet a few months ago. It's a model made by a non-technological company in a political stunt to promote better education in Puerto Rico and to "modernize the classroom environment and how class is taught." And even though only public schools (I go to private) had these benefits I managed to get a hold of one and after months I decided to try it.
But the ugly truth is These "phablets" are just a somewhat mediocre 2011-12 technology with a custom android 4.3 slapped on top. The downside is that the Android version doesn't come with any of google's services and apps and because of it being custom-built No apps are compatible with it.
I managed to download the Google now and chrome apks but they don't run/aren't compatible.
After all that backstory What I mean to ask is:
-Is it possible to activate google apps and services from the phone without taking out it's original version? (After all it's running Jellybean)
If not:
-Is it possible to root the phone and flash another version of android that's a bit more "supportive" of apps?
Or do you simply have any other ideas as of how can I make it a normal android phablet? Im planning on giving it to my little brother after fixing it up.
Thank you in advance and again, I'm sorry if I posted this where it doesn't belong.
1) I'm hoping someone can advise pls! I'm a very light user mostly for wsapp and sometimes maps/gps when walking (no gaming and occasionally watch youtube videos) so was hoping to find something £40-£50.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M20-Pro-...var=564119885073&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649
There are others I'm looking at but they don't mention anything about the processor (sometimes it'll mention the number of cores but no name)? The specs seem way better than even xiaomi phones for the same money, I know there's gonna be no support updates etc. how important is that? Couldn't I just search for a custom ROM, try to upgrade to higher android version etc? Would it be difficult/impossible to find roms for an unbranded phone?
Also I've read that there's a possibility they could just be sneaky re-brands so potentially could be getting a xiaomi etc. phone for less?
2) I'm also considering paying a bit more if unbranded is a no-go. Xiaomi Redmi 7 3GB/32GB around £100 vs Xiaomi Mi Play 4GB/64GB if it's £6 more?
I like the extra ram and storage for only £6 more but the battery seems better on R7 and larger screen

I've seen some advertisements (on wish.com or Ali Express) for devices with no apparent name brand that mention having 10 core processors, dual sim, Android 9 and more. These are all MTK devices which pose difficulties if you want to flash a ROM into them to upgrade or change something. RCA tablets are MTK devices and I, along with many others have spent a lot of time just trying to gain access to such devices. It's been done. However, it has been more than difficult as of yet to find any compatible ROMs and these devices are extremely picky when it comes to using other ROMs. For those of us that are currently still working on it, we have yet to find anything compatible. That's not saying they are bad devices, they are actually pretty good I've had mine (the RCA Maven, Viking and Galileo) for years with little problems.

Thanks for the reply. Any MTK processor devices are difficult/unlikey to have custom roms or tweak/upgrade in any way?

Theoretically there should be, but many here would rather work on the newest devices most of which are not MTK (Media Tek). They're not built like Samsungs and if you open one up the whole motherboard is the size of today's phones or roughly one quarter the size of the tablet which could be the reason they're so cheap. The only thing I've been able to flash into mine is the original stock firmware, anything else led to bricking. And recovering from a brick is difficult the SP Flash tool is nothing like the Odin3 we use for Samsungs.

I have also bought uhans u300 and took a look at the Development & Support topic here, there's absolutely no way to upgrade it from Android 6.0?
Hi!
First of all, sorry for posting in this thread , but there is no other thread for the Huawei matepad paper.
My question is if there is or will be any custom firmwares for this tablet, because even if its a good e-reader, notetaking device, i don't trust it for handling my private documents, because its Huawei and also it runs Harmony OS.
Maybe my answer comes after 1,5 a month, but I'll give You my 5 cents. Unfortunately, as there is no way to unlock Huawei this days do not count on any custom roming.
It's stupid of them, but sadly that's the way they choose to do it.

Thats sad to hear but i have no other choice then. The hardware in my oppinion is perfect for an epaper tablet , but im not a fan of the Chinese spyware preinstalled in it

I love this device. Got it somewhere in September and have to say it crushes any other eink Android tablets (got few, mostly made by Onyx). It's superresponsive, doesnt lag at all and, with help of Aurora, has access to Play Store and all ebook apps available there.

sorry, bro... but our tablet is dead as a "custom-rom-enabled" device
it works good (yes, with old Android 10 VM and old HMOS 2, but good) without modifications.
I hope our chinese brothers makes HUAWEI to release some sources and some unlock-software that helps us make our device great again!
Price was good, so I've bought it.
If I knew that it will not receive an upgrade to HMOS 3 and not able to unlock and flash some custom rom, I didn't buy it
Are You sure?
On their HOS3 site I see that Paper is included: https://consumer.huawei.com/en/harmonyos-3/
They are still updating other devices and Paper is not the flagship device unfortunately.
And even without HOS3 it's great device. A10 won't be forgotten by Google for few more years, so not a problem for me.
Hey all,
Preamble: I have a European bought Oculus Quest 2, and during my trip the US I bought the D-Link VR Air Bridge. To my dismay when I returned home I found out it only worked occasionally, due to it using U-NII-3 WiFi 6 frequencies which haven't been approved in Europe yet. However, the Quest 2 should still be able to pick them up - but is probably firmware/software limited.
My idea of a solution is asking a US friend with a Quest 2 for a rip of their relevant software/firmware, and enable these frequencies on my device.
My question is - what exactly do I need to rip out of their device (firmware, modems file, etc.) and how, and how can I flash it to mine? AFAIK the Quest 2 is just an Android device.
Thanks in advance!
Sadly, you can’t. In order to due any sort of firmware build changes or upgrade/downgrades/custom os/etc you have to have the bootloader unlocked.
Everything on the oculus platform (especially the standalone vr) is governed by a sort of “guardian/permission/spy type program. It has to approve any and all device function and requests and it totally locked off without having the bootloader unlocked.
Unfortunately a wild bootloader unlock is Mia. I’m sure someone managed it. But no one spoke up aside from a hoax.
Facebook did release firmware for the oculus go though once it came to the end of its production and sales cycle. This firmware was explicitly programmed with the bootloader auto unlocked. You can install whatever you want within limits if the arm chip on board.
I’m sure if you knew a little about hardware and software dev on the mobile sector, you maybe able to find a work around using the huewei models. Essentially HUAWEI deidtributes for Facebook overseas in some Asians markets to bysoass bans imolimented on Facebook by the countries. They are the exact same device. Same hardware. Different firmware. And most huwawei models have indeed been bootloader unlocked with reports of it being done asap before by tech support while on phone. So yea. It’s a rabbit hole. Good luck
As a workaround, try occur using something like virtual desktop. Super low latency. Make dang sure you are wired the entire way.
The. You can emulate whatever distro you want and view it in vr mode. I have done this with some steam games. Sometimes it works awesome. Some times it sucks utterly. But more often than not it surprises me with performance assuming you have a realivaly decent vr gaming setup (no a rx 589 or gtx 1650 or 1660 doesn’t cut it). I’m talking a ryzen 7 (preferably 9) paired with a rx5700 or higher for amd or ideally a 2060 super or higher for nvidia. Even at these specs, expect barely 50 fps
