Hey so I have this spare Acer Liquid MT phone lying around, the phone lags like heck, it's still on android 2.3 something....(all is its very old and havent been charged for awhile). I was wondering if anyone here has any links to rooting and installing a newer version of android onto this phone. I've been using Iphone a lot so I don't know any technical terms for android or in fact much about android. Hope you guys and give me some links and mods that will go well with this phone =] I wanna experience android first before actually buying another android phone! Thx!!
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.
Hi all,
i'm new here and new to rooting etc completely...I bought 2 kid tablets from Fanx with the RK3026 chip set but I've heard that this probably isn't enough info to root it.
I'd like to know what more info is needed and what i'm looking at from level of difficulty point of view..Like i said, i'm new to all this.
The reason i'd like to root is simple; it's some sort of weird hacked android version that keeps pushing these Chinese apps to install.. My kids don't really understand Chinese since we're dutch speaking. Another disadvantage to these is that the battery runs out fairly quick so i'm hoping that a cleaned up version of Android will help out there a bit as well, not expecting miracles though!
What i'd like: A cleaned up version of android, it says it's 4.4 now but i'm not convinced i should believe that.
Unfortunatly i can't post links to the products website but it's from Fanx, the 7" kids tablet and has the RK3026 chip set
Thanks in advance
I had bought the Droid 3 to use as a mini computer to run a few offline apps. However, the process of getting it to Android 4.4 seems impossible. While it boasts of a decent screen size and nice keyboard, all the work that has to be put into it is very discouraging to put it mildly. The rooting, removing bloatware, unlocking the bootloader, installing recovery and finally updating to the latest possible version of android is very daunting. At this point I would even pay for someone to do this. Is there another phnone that I could get for cheap (less than $50.00) where there would be less work and more straight foward.? Or any other suggestions?
Thanx so much

Hi all
Thanks firstly I've found this site excellent for rooting and flashing my samsung tab2/nexus7 etc 5*
But now I'm stuck and I have a challenge
I have a 10 inch nurvo tablet that is rooted (SuperSU etc)
But I cannot find a custom ROM that will make this thing any good!
Specs::
Model number:nurvo10dcb
Android version:4.2.2
Firmware:2.1_20140213
Kernal:3.4.39+
Build:a20_k1001_k1001L1c_1402051.20140305
I'm trying to get some use from this tab other than a slow inaccurate TV remote(YouTube via Chromecast etc)
Its so bad!(touch drivers are very slow
I really want something more refined like slimkat or just something that works rather than whatever this was designed for (picture frame maybe
Huge thanks and sorry if I've put this in the wrong place.
It would be nice to have the same flexibility my Samsung tab2 with 6.1 and nexus with slimkat

Hello and welcome to xda-assist,
as this is an unpopular device, especially compared with the Samsung tab2, you won't nowhere get equal or only nearly the support of a popular device, that's the hard truth..
If you can't find anything on simple Google search or on the forums
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
there's non and you're bound to xposed & root, just like many other people, long not all devices are supported by development, only a few selected and that's why it is so important to research the device before you buy when you're in to flash & stuff..
Good luck
Hi
I thought it was pushing it with this nurvo and if I had the time to check it out before I bought it I'd have avoided it
I did see some info about someone and custom ROMs but cannot find it.
Its rooted fine (kingo)but without a decent ROM its just junk as its just too slow
Its fine for kids to play with and slowly using as a remote but that's it
Thanks mate
I will keep my ears open just in case but I won't hold my breath: (
