Hello there and welcome to my very first post in this Forum.
First of all I would like to thank so many Devs and Hackers here to do so much work and spending time in the ROMs or the hacks for some stuff.
Without the help of this forum I wouldn't have rootet and changed firmware on so many different devices.
Up to now I did not have a reason to register or post in here but now I have been put on a task by my father
Yes as it is always you have an IT guy in family he/she is responsible for anything from programming TV to hacking mothers Tablet XD
enough blah blah here's the task:
My father bought himself a Tablet and as it always is he did not ask me he just bought the cheapest one available a
"Hannspree HannSpad HSG1297"
In the first months it was ok than he found some things are not working without beeing able to store and run apps from the SDCard because that device
has as always with this devices a extremely tiny internal storage.
Despite my suggestions he made the next mistake he bought another Tablet.
Again a cheap one but now with the newer Android 7 the only thing he listened to me... *sadface*
This time it was an "Odys Xelio HD 10 LTE"
And here is the connection we both investigated these both devices and finally come to the conclusion they are both the same Tablet Barebone I would say just different
producers name and modell name.
The Hanns is only available with Android 4.4.x
The Odys is available with Android 7
The question is if our conclusion is right would it be possible to put the Android 7 from Odys to the HannsPad?
What would be required to do this?
I would appreciate any suggestions or tipps.
Sorry for Bumping this up but at least yes or no would be enough for me

Hi,
I am at point where I would be buying a new mobile phone. I don't have budget problem, but I am looking from the point where I'll be able to use my phone as development device.
I have shortlisted some options:
Nexus S: This seems to me an idle device for development. It also has NFC. You have early access to the android flavors. But with dual core processor phone in the market, I not sure if this a good choice.
Samsung Galaxy s 2: The phone is expensive, but has many feature(except for NFC ). Do you think this can be a good device considering future versions of android might be out by November-December(speculating)
Wait for another device: Wait for a device. But then everything can't be obtained in a single device. How long will I wait?
HTC Sensation: Not much info about it.
Any other device
I seem to prefer device with NFC and dual core(may be because it a future ready).
Really confused. Just looking for a device that can be used for development on current and future flavors of Android.
Also I have read about rooting a device. Not sure if this is a proper question, but if someone roots a device can the person explore the full capabilities of the device(provided the rooting is proper).
I prefer not to wait for another device and I am confused between Nexus S and Galaxy S 2.
Please give you opinion about my choice or some other device that I should consider.
Thanks

if you need a phone for development, first choose your target audience.
i dont think a vast majority of the people will be upgrading too soon to dual core...
now if u wanna push boundaries with your programming, go ahead with the latest...
but its good to have a phone that a greater percentage of the people have...
also, do consider the major portion of people are on android 2.2 and 2.1 (more than 85% as on google site)...
think from a developer pov, not a user...
Thanks HyprGeek for the reply. Seems to give me a point or two to think about.
But don't you think if I buy what majority are buying today, then in about a month time something new will come up and the crowd will start moving towards it. Then i'll be stuck with old device.
I personally feel you need have something(especially electronics device) that arefuture ready so that you don't regret your decision in a short time.
What do you think from a general point of view, which device I should consider?
Thanks,
Prerak Desai
well, u need to detemine how big the "crowd" is...

and i dont think computers/mobiles can ever be future ready...
Hello everyone, I'm 35, I'll no longer have the utility of this tablet. I would like it to become the playground for my 5 year old son.
In the best case, the most convenient for me and for him, and this sister if it stings him that the tablet would be completly configured child mode ignition to extinction.
What do you think ?
I'm crazy you tell me, but there exist a custom ROM in this direction?
The tablet runs on CM 12.1.
Can you help me ? The simplest would buy him a tablet adapted to his age but I fear it is very low-end models and too closed software level.
If a custom ROM just for our children does not exist ... how do you find an effective solution that would avoid me to put this tablet to the drawer and to benefit my kid?
I tried Potati application, really no, not at all suited to a 5 year old, full of pubs, not to mention the links INAPPROPRIATE links social networks ... There are really children of this age with Facebook ?? I also tested the Kidos application, not bad, it's what I mostly search for the good of my children, but very easy to leave the mode without using the password!
I hope to have attracted your attention, you'll be able to play without me think of sucide lol. I am French I pass by Google translation (lol lol) and unfortunately our French forums are turned on new propuits Marqueting.
Good end of year party you! (But I hope to have answers before )
Hello everybody. This is my very first post and I've been on xda for something like 30 min. Therefore if the post is inappropriate delete or move it. Thanx.
Now why ask here? Well, I'm sort of developer and sys admin and I've learnt that best answers come from tech people, so here I am!
As first let start with a broad question.
I'm coming from a moto g first gen. My phone expected life is 2 years according to previous phones I've owned.
What am I searching? Well I'm focusing on a bit of security in software. For those who know linux I'm the kind of guy who uses centos on servers, ubuntu LTS or debian stable on vms or desktop, I'm not in search for the latest and greatest but proper patch level adherence in android.
I don't really bother about void warranty. Lets face it: in my country (italy) consumers devices have no SLA nor you can expect anything from repair shops, so in case of damage I still need to buy a second phone for temporary patch.
I'm asking you: what alternatives are here to nexus? I've red that sony seems good at following patch levels. Cyanogen (in case I'll buy and root a phone) seems to release stables now and then without strict montly patches. What about other roms?
In the end which are the alternatives to nexus (both stock or aftermarket) for a proper security patch coverage? I'm I "cursed" to buy a nexus or may I pick from supported devices of any of existent roms?
to narrow specs: I'm searching for something in the range € 200-250, between 4.7'' and 5.2'', 16-32 GB disk, 2+ GB ram, decent camera, wifi N (2.4 is ok, never used 5 ghz), basically don't care so much about other specs, just get good battery runtime.
Thank you,
M
PS: Potential buy is Nexus 5X (supported by google for next 2 years, and available around € 230 on some italian on line shops) but battery runtimes are not so good
Welcome to XDA!
Gee, I didn't realize it, but there are (at least) two of these well established topics (and stickied) going on now:
One is right above yours, for general discussion
The other is in the Q&A sister subforum, more tailored for asks
Since your thread is geared more for asking which to buy, I would go for the latter.
Good luck, and hope this helps.
To help promote the use of the above threads, I will be closing this one now.
Hello guys
First excuses for my bad english
Let me introduce myself, i'm a 56 years old developper, now working in an charity association, who want to sell to old persons or visually impaired persons android phones with a simplified interface and some presinstalled softs (skype, ...), and at of course really low price...
My project is to made tests with a first cheap phone i bought last week at the supermarket (brand echo, used for testing, but i would prefer using some more known brand to "reassure" my customers), with installed Koala launcher and some other really simple softs, and to clone my phone, for install new phones without having to do the same things X time. What i've done seems to work properly on the first phone, and my father, 84 yeas old will be my first tester...
Searched a lot on the internet, but i don't find any way to clone a phone without rooting, and rooted phones and warranty... you understand what i mean
So my question is: Is it possible to clone and duplicate a complete phone without rooting? I'm used with Linux but not with Android
Thanks in advance for any idea, even with paid software

Hello, I will start by admitting that I'm currently incarcerated in prison and using a jail broken tablet provided by a monopolized company called Jpay/Secures. I'm new to XDA and have joined in hopes of obtaining useful knowledge without being judged for being an inmate. We currently have two different types of clear plastic Android tablets available to us. The original model is a JP5 , a 7" tablet running 4.2.2 with an inmate safe software package running overtop of the original version of Android. Then we have a newer tablet offered for free to us , a JP6 also with a 7" screen. The jp6 is running android 8.1 with a more secure security blanket overtop. We have yet to jailbreak the jp6 , at least at this institution. A different institution may have accomplished this task, but I highly doubt it. I have been to an few different prisons so far ( my first and only bid) and this is the only one I've been to with jail broken tablets. These tablets have an apk called WiFi connection manager on the first files sent over when jailbreaking. The only way we can have Internet access is by using a mobile hotspot from someons cellphone. This is a problem because cellphones are illegal and don't have a long shelf life in prison. They are hunted every minute of the day by the cops. So without a cellphone we have no internet. However, I had a quick thought and figured it merited a post to see if it could be possible. I would like to purchase a mobile hot spot device like a Verizon MiFi 8800 and dismantle is and physically install it inside the tablet. Have it wired in to where it would charge when the tablet was charging and I could simply pay the montly service for it. We have accomplished some pretty interesting feats so far, IE; double batteries, body transplant from jp5 to jp6. I feel pretty confident that if it could be done, that in could accomplishe the goal in here. Please let me know if any information is available somewhere online or if anyone has any ideas! I greatly appreciate any help. Not that this matters, but I'm incarcerated for a armed burglary charge, I didn't want anyone to think they were helping a chomo. Again, thank you very much in advance. -M-
Lmao, how'd you unlock the jp5 trying help help family locked up
