[Completed] [q] want to know basics of rooting and flashing of gionee m 2

GIONEE M2
Iam totally new & curious about cons. & pron.of rooting & flashing. I want to know which will help me to have required features in my phone with least risk either rooting or flashing------------
01. Some sites say that it supports full OTG (pen drive support) which is disabled in it. I don't know wether it is true or not. If it is true than how to unlock this feature.
02. Its original 4.2.2 along with bloatwares consumes about 550+ ram this makes a trouble to me for multi processing in it.
03. Is custom ROM for android phones are developed on basis on of hardware or is similar to windows for pc & laptops. Like using any windows OS and after that installing audio,video,graphics,connectivity,Bluetooth,etc drivers for it according to hardware.
04. In my phone bloatwares also asking for update thus going to increase my phone's RAM.

CM 11 = CyanogenMod..
CyanogenMod (pronounced /saɪ.'æn.oʊ.dʒɛn.mɒd/) is an enhanced open source firmware distribution for smartphones and tablet computers based on the Android mobile operating system. It offers features and options not found in the official firmware distributed by vendors of these devices.
Features supported by CyanogenMod include native theming support, FLAC audio codec support, a large Access Point Name list, an OpenVPN client, an enhanced reboot menu, support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB tethering, CPU overclocking and other performance enhancements, soft buttons and other "tablet tweaks", toggles in the notification pull-down (such as wi-fi, Bluetooth and GPS), app permissions management, as well as other interface enhancements. CyanogenMod does not contain spyware or bloatware. In many cases, CyanogenMod may increase performance and reliability compared with official firmware releases.
CyanogenMod is developed as free and open source software based on the official releases of Android by Google, with added original and third-party code.

You should better read/ask in your phone's section.
Here is a short preview of the "advanced" android world :
- In order to backup your phone data you need a recovery.
- The most known recoveries are CWM and TWRP (in most phones you get into recovery pressing power and volume buttons while the phone is off).
- From the recoveries you can install a new ROM (firmware) to your phone, make a backup/restore or flash zip files (that run commands and move files)
- Cyanogenmod / Cm is a famous ROM with different versions for many phones. Cm11 is the Cyanogenmod kitkat version (10 jellybean, 9 icecream etc)
I hope you got the main idea

Sorry I am not getting the backup and restore option in my cwm as it shows in the videos

kitkat for honor 6x

i know this is stupid question but is there any chance to get kitkat for honor 6x because kitkat is pure android it supports everything without restrictions.
after lolipop we lost support for many apps
all of my favorite apps will no longer work.
is there any possibility for kitkat?

so many apps i will give you few apps list xposed framework not full supported. gravity box with 1 brightness level. multiple hayday accounts app. selinux not permissive. screenfilter not work. overall os size is very less this device will work like beast on kitkat.
simple comparison is difference between windows 7 and windows 10

but windows 10 doesn't support all drivers we have to reboot pc with disable driver signature enforcement something like that. i have faced lot of issues when flashing os and with fastboot drivers which works awesome on w7. most annoying thing is microsoft spying on w10 and u cant stop it.

Erm.. I never had issues with drivers on my windows 10. I think you need to install the universal android drivers that are widely available on the internet. Regarding spying then since you are using an android which is a Google ptoduct, you cannot escape spying. Google is synonymous to spying

I even have this dream . Kitkat use dalvik vm and i feel it is smooth and easy to modify apps . Art has brought a lot of changes . If u want kitkat , u need to build cm11 . But this wont work in 99% cases ad u use a device tree from mm

Unfortunately no, because every smartphone (let's take the Galaxy s8 as an example), can't have a ROM That have an older version with what it came with, even if it came with 7.1, it can't have a custom ROM of 7.0

Excuse my low english level i al not native english.

Try to use GSI

GSI?

i think you cannot get to android 12 as the scammers never made the image for it.
p.s. it is prob not part of project treble, so gsi wouldn’t work (probably)
