[Q] Section for android mini PC's ?

I own a nexus 7 and I think of XDA as a major component of my android device. I also own an mk808 and I would love to see a section dedicated to android mini PC's and development for mini PC's here at XDA. The handful of smaller forums that do develop for my mk808 basically suck. No offense to anyone. But every download has to be routed through an ad site which half the time doesn't work. I understand people need to get paid but it would be nice if things were functional. Any thoughts on development here at XDA? I would be willing to donate a device if need be. They only cost $60 or so and it would be well worth it for me....Thanks

[Completed] Android Versions no longer supported?

So I work for a very small cellular company (less than 40k subs) and my boss is ordering second hand devices with Android 2.3.6 OS Version. I've been hunting around online for the past few days to give him documentation on how out dated and what potential issues this can cause for customers. All I have found is from the Android Dashboards: (i can't post the link since i'm new to the forums)
So we have had multiple customer's in the last few days with this error: "Error retrieving information from server. [RPC: S-7:AEC-7 DUAS-N731-ACEW4] whenver they try to update an application. I've been trying to find a way to articulate to my management that the reason is the outdated OS of the devices we use, but I can't find any documentation to prove this fact.
I don't know if this is even the right place to ask the question, but everyone I've spoken to (reps and google, samsung, LG etc.) have pointed me to this forum. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist
Kindly register a account on XDA Forum so that you can ask/post questions in respective forums Well yes Android GingerBread Version is too old version now and many devices which were using it has now lost the development , the reason is that the many such devices were on 512mb of Ram and later on every stage of Android Upgrade System requirements too increased which later these devices lost the development , though there are still few devices which are running lollipop on 512mb Ram but is not easy task to achieve the same
Kindly post your question here Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!

[Completed] Buying advice: Asus ZenFone 2

I am in the market for a new cell phone to replace my current Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini. Given my budget, I have nearly settled on the Asus ZenFone 2. At $299 for an upper-middle tier cell phone with 64GB of storage and 4GB of RAM, it seems like a solid bet. The only real downfall I have discovered from my research thus far is the ZenUI which overlays the stock Android experience and the massive amount of bloatware that comes pre-installed on the phone.
If I were able to safely get rid of the bloatware and make the phone more like a pure stock Android experience, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
I consider myself fairly able to work with technology, although I have never actually rooted, flashed, or otherwise modded a cell phone. So, I am looking for some guidance. Do you think the ZenFone2 warrants a purchase in spite of the concerns outlined? If no, do you have any suitable reocmmendations in that budget range? More importantly, do you think I would be able to modify the phone to get rid of bloatware and make it a more stock Android experience?
Sorry if this questions has been asked previously. As I mentioned, I am very new to this, certainly new to the forums, and just looking for guidance. Thanks!

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
We cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist but fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the Asus Zenfone 2 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2 which would be a good starting place. I suggest you ask your question with all relevant details in the general forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general where experts familiar with that device will be best able to advise you.
Good luck!

[Completed] Android tablet that supports pressure senstivity for drawing?

HI
I am interested in buying a 8-9 inch tablet that supports pressure sensitity throught the screen or a stylus. I know about Galaxy Note. However Samsung does not seem to offer a 8inch model that supports Spen.
What Android devices are out there that supports pressure sensitivity? I tried searching web but the information is so scattered, I am kind of sick of following dead trails.
thanks

[Q] Help buying tablet (suggestions)

So I searched the forums for a place to write this but couldn't find so I decided to post here.
I am looking to buy a tablet, but have no idea which one of the millions to choose.
What I'm looking to in a tablet:
- Good (to excellent) performance
- Big screen (around 10 inch), and a good one
- Supported by the forums (I'd like to install all different kinds of ROMs..)
- I came across the possibility to have dual-boot with Windows, so that'd be awesome (of couse win10)
- 64GB would be great
- Nice battery life
- And, of course, the cheaper the better (I don't want to spend more than 300$ on it)
I'm pretty sure I'm asking for too much, especially with the budget price, but can you guys please do me a favor and suggest me tablets around the specs I want?
Oh and I looked at Telcast's X98 Pro tablet, it was perfect, but problem is that the tablet isn't supported by the forums at all..
Thank you guys in advance!

There's a dedicated thread for such questions here,

Many opinions to be had there, so I'll close this thread. :good:
