I'm new to the whole android world, so please forgive me if my question is sorta stupid I'm not exactly sure how this whole installing custom ROMs of android works, but I researched a bit and seems like you gotta find a custom ROM for your device first and then install it. The device I want to try is a Fly Eclipse 3 IQ4514 with 1 GBs of RAM and MediaTek MT6582M processor, running Android 4.4.2.
I might be a long shot, but I'm just curious to know if it's possible to force a higher version of android on this device? If there are any custom ROMs out there that I could use.

You simply can't install a new android version of the original (Stock) Rom for your device unless your phone manufacturer gives the update for that particular device.But if your phone is rooted and bootloader is unlocked,you could search for custom roms for you device which could be flashed to your device use clockworkmod or by any specic flashing software for your device

so in order to get a higher version of android the carrier you have has to accept a update from the oem (Original equipment manufacturer) or you can root it and get a custom rom which is pretty much the same thing only its less professional and opens source so people can do whatever they want with it. i found a guide on xda on how to root it and get a custom recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2215966

actually my phone is already rooted and im already using teamburst rom.. and there is no other rom around there so what iwanted actually is to maybe install or developed a kitkat for my device cause it says that kitkat can run smooth even at a low spec phone like mine. .anyway as for the update from my phone manufacturer it seem it will never gonna happen they seem dont care about any of that , what important to them is to sell the phone and that is that.. most people here seem dont mind that but i do. .i know the answer to my question i know also what to do. .i just dont have the resources for now. .a lot of people use the same phone as mine that looking for the same answer as i do if only we could unite to do this project. .but maybe they just buy new device
Hey guys I am fairly new to android and really new to this rooting and custom rom thing and I've been doing my research with what a rooted android w/ custom rom could look like and what it could further do.
I was hoping that my rooted phone is compatible with Custom Roms like Cyanogen Mod, AOKP, etc. Unfortunately my phone isn't listed in any listed devices in the well known Custom Rom Sites but I still proceeded with installing Cyanogen Mod since everyone seems to be using it. I don't even know if there are more of these eye candy useful mods that makes the ios look miserably locked up while hoping at least one of these custom rom is compatible with my crappy awesome phone. But upon installation process of Cyanogen Mod WITHOUT awareness that it really isn't compatible, it stated in that page that I could (STILL)use their Custom Rom at my own risk. Beyond that I stopped the installation process in fear of destroying my phone.
I was wondering whether you guys could enlighten me about the compatibility of Huawei Y220-U10 to Custom Roms. I've seen Huawei Y210's on youtube that's using a custom rom but unfortunately ALL of them who's demonstrating their phones are speaking in Spanish. I also installed ROM Installer but I can't seem to see 'FEATURED'? Maybe because it's the free version?
Now I am willing to take the risk, starting from the bottom meaning derooting my phone, wiping it clean, rerooting it and flashing that Custom Rom but I'm seeking advice from much more experienced users because if you guys tell me that it is a BIG NO NO I guess I'll just have to stick with the Go Launcher and wait until I get a much better, stronger, faster android smartphone which has a friendlier compatibility to everything android. And how come I can't access facebook nor yahoo from any web browser in my phone? is it a virus? Please clarify my theories.
Much Regards, Jom
P.S. Phone is running at 2.3.6 and rooted with Kingo Android ROOT
Hello @Jom Apa Welcome to Android / XDA!
"BIG NO NO!" You can't flash ROMs not made for your device because of the underlying hardware incompatibilities. You might completely kill your phone.
Give me a few minutes while I search for ROMs you can use
UPDATE: Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any custom firmware for your device nor Github entries for the chipset used. Seems you'll either have to stick with stock or create your own custom ROMs there are a lot of support here on XDA, Let the learning begin!
Cheers!
So basically i got a little bit tired of being stuck with my good old Zopo ZP990+ and it's stock Android 4.2.2 and want to do something about it.
I dug a little bit through xda and other sites and found out that there are lots of official KitKat ROMs and custom Lollipops (Marshmallow even) for devices with the same processor (MT6592).
Some info about my model:
Zopo ZP990+ running slightly customed Android 4.2.2 with kernel 3.4.39. Got myself a TWRP so no problem with custom Recovery.
Wherever i go i see that in order to port ROMs i need to upgrade my kernel to 3.4.67 (or smth like that) so:
1. Do i really have to update kernel in order to flash custom 4.4.4 or higher? (Might be stupid question for some of you, but i just can't let go of hoping that it might run with 3.4.39 as well)
2. If i do have to then is there any way to know HOW can i update it? (Or mod it, whatever is fine with me as long as i will know how to do it or where to find info about it)
3. I also found a guide which shows how to create completely new CyanogenMod, so i was wandering whether i should go in that direction and then maybe just update that?
It seems like there is no official release of kernel source code (found something on github, but it's not official and i think it's for ZP990 not ZP990+).
Simply put i just want to ask about modding kernel, how to and what to do with it in order to get it working with better firmwares.
Thank You all for any kind of support given. If nothing is possible, then don't worry. I'll somehow deal with this harsh truth.
Hhi, idk if this is right forum but ya this is my question and please answer me.
so, i have my old mtk6582 phone based on jelly bean. (also it is my first ever phone i got)
always since childhood i am trying to have it upgraded to al least android 4.4.4 (kitkat) but i also know it is not possible because it would require an upgraded kernel.
i manage to find similar phone with similar specs but problem is phone boots up and but touchscreen doesn't work and require to be used using mouse.
so my question is, is there any ways to make or porte kernel for aosp based stock ROM (android one) phone.
if method is for Linux (ubuntu) system it would be grate. thanks for help.
sorry for posting this on a wrong thread but i dont know where to post, if someone can redirect me i would appreciate it.
I got my hands on a Qualcomm reference device with a Snap dragon865 its called kona for Arm64 and i want to know if there's someone who could help me out. It has android 10 and has an unlocked bootloader but thar version of android acts weird and drains alot of battery and i can't factory reset the device to check if it fixes the problem so im looking into installing something like android 12 but have no idea if this is possible. I have almost no experience in installing custom recovery or flashing roms but i can definitely follow up instructions if flashing rom is possible.
Don't know if a device needs to have specific Roms developed for it or if there's a generic ROM for any device, etc. Hope someone can help me out
yes that is a samsung galaxy tab s7 oplus wi-fi the iink to latest firware the hardware has 2 downsides it has only 8gb of ram on 256 gb nand space and just 3 video cores so it is defenetly not a gaming setup the battery is quite well but y diont care about such if it cam keep at max performance 8 houst is ok is true that de device camed preinstalled with android 11 but you wont have a better configurationcause even on android 13 you will have the same kernel s if you want latzest features youz will have to compile it on your own for example if you want a 6.x kernel supporting latest koodies
