Hey guys. Over the last year I have marveled at the tech products that have been coming out of China. I used to be like most Americans, and labeled a brand junk if it was not a well-known name. After brands like Oppo, OnePlus, and Xiaomi have had such great feedback from customers in the West, I did some research. I was amazed at how affordable great tech could be.
Now recently I have wanted a tablet and have done a lot of web surfing. Ive come across many brands like Teclast, Cube, Onda, Pipo and others. I've watched a lot of videos, I've read forums in Russian and Chinese, and havent been able to make a brand choice. For the price these things go for coming out of China, I know its a risk. And of course I still have my doubts about customer service and warranty concerns.
Just looking for some guidance. Please sharing your experience with one of these or other affordable Chinese brands. Im interested in knowing about customer support (if any), warranty (if any), but most of all reliability and longevity of any Chinese brand youve used. And if you could direct me to vendors, thatd be great too. Right now Im on aliexpress reading feedback reviews for different sellers. All this said, I know its risky going with lesser known China brands...but I wanna test things out. Losing a couple hundred bucks wont kill me.
I figured after seeing how popular Teclast is here, that it may be the choice. But Ive seen praise for other brands as well. I feel a thread like this can help people in the future.
PS - Shout out to Hendrickson for his informative videos. They were a great resource.
24 hr bump
Final bump.
Right now Im leaning towards Onda and Cube because of the numerous issues the Teclast X98 has according to the thread here on XDA. Threads over on Russian and Chinese forums cite the same issues.
Please discuss and vote.
Instead of bumping (check the n00b's guide!) you should go and ask here.

Thanks for the advice...but that thread is centered on mainstream devices. I specifically wanted to discuss Chinese brands. I really wish the Teclast had its own subforum now. Its thread is already huge with over 7000 posts.
Hello everyone,
I am coming from Samsung phones , Xiaomi, HTC and there have been many custom ROM's and development and everything was FREE , and I find Mate 9 forum very empty and and even those who developed something ask for money and very complicated procedures, why is this happening in huawei forums?
I plan to sell my Mighty Mate 9 because can't seem to find support in forums or everywhere else !
What do you think will this forum change or it will be this way , I am new to huawei and I don't know much about this...

Obviously should have done research before investing into the mate 9.
There is forums for previous devices that would have given you the information about the modding community with Huawei.
You don't buy Huawei and other manufacturers not listed above for the modding community.
The funkyhuawei stuff is only the dev. He invest his time and pays for the server's out of his own pocket. Nothing wrong with asking for donation. This is not samsung, HTC etc where things are widely available and 100s of devs jumping on board.
Most of these type of niche devices are better supported by dev community overseas.
Now since this is the first official mate for the usa things might happen with a little patience.
USA sales has just started! which is a good thing for future development... Hopefully we will see what's cooking!

Can't be much different, especially in comparison to Xiaomi. Xiaomi doesn't release source until the device is 6-12mo old = no development for newer devices.
Just picked up my new Honor 6x(BLN-L24) from Best Buy because I'm tired of only having 2GB RAM on my Honor 5x. Unfortunately I didn't come here before ordering because if I had I would have noticed only a fraction of dev support compared to what is available for the 5x, and I would have not purchased the 6x.
Anyway, I tried flashing HassanMirza01's LineageOS 14.1 but after letting it sit 3 times on animated boot logo screen for over 30 minutes each time I wiped everything and read through the rest of the ROMs in the dev section. Either the ROMs have currently reported install problems, or in the case of all Meticulus ROMs the download links are gone. None seem to be working correctly or near stable for daily use unless I'm missing something here.
At this point I'm following the dload method to go back to latest stock and honestly thinking about just returning the phone to Best Buy. It's quite disappointing seeing such a small amount of support for it. Is that because there is something wrong or difficult with this phone when it comes to development?
The weak development is because Huawei/Honor hasn't released source code yet (I guess, but I've seen a link for my BLL-L23 source code some time ago).
A thing I don't like about H6X devs is that lately they have (strangely) "spammed" their ports from other Huawei devices, maybe without improving the ported codes. I mean, about 6 ROMs in just a few days, with the same ported S.C... That's suspicious
But, since I'm not a dev (sad reaction only) I can't judge their work without considering all the variables involved into their work.
I guess all this happened because of the unreleased S.C, but I'm confident this has a near end.
Cheers to all devs btw, ur work is really appreciated
I can't even return to stock. I tried the dload method, and then I tried the full return to stock where I fastboot flash boot/recovery/system and then dload the update.app. Keeps saying Software install failed! on the part where I do vol+/vol-/pwr and try the dload flash of update.app.
Have I completely bricked this phone?

You live in Missouri? :laugh: The Honor 5x is a Qualcom Snapdragon device and that chipset has plenty of official support from LineageOS. The Honor 6x is a Kirin 655 device and has absolutely NO official support what soever. You asked if there is "something wrong or difficult with this phone when it comes to development". Yes there is and for the same reason that it will NEVER had any official support from custom ROMs like Lineage: no source code.
So, if you bought your Honor 6x with expectation that your "custom rom experience" would be the same as your 5x, I'm afraid that you probably made a mistake.
As for "Where are the download links?". I mean absolutely no disrespect when I say that, if you can not find them, then it's probably for the best. :laugh:
Huawei/Honor should do something related to Kirrin processor, considering their massive advertisements on XDA- they're not caring any development

I do not know the 'deal' that Huawei/Honor has with XDA but it seems likely to me that Huawei/Honor pays XDA to help make Huawei/Honor devices more popular by sponsoring Honor branded contests and giving away phones to 'openkirin'. I can not say for certain but I don't think that Huawei/Honor cares about 'custom ROM' development at all. It is just a vehicle, by which, XDA can make Huawei/Honor devices more popular, help increase sales and help them build their brand.

These ROMs came about because I decided to bring up my code base to operate on EMUI 5. While I was doing that I noticed the way Huawei does things in an abstract way so that the same code base can be used to build ROMs for many devices. I decided to do things in a similar way. In doing so, other quickly found out that this ROM runs on all hi6250 devices. However it is true that I do not own an Honor 6x and where this device differs from the devices that I do own, you come in. If you help me help you I might be able to fix issues. If not, well ... the choice is yours ...

Yeah absolutely- thats d strategy
But for any device to appeal for XDA public - it should have impressive development or promising atmosphere(releasing sources,support etc)
Advertisements on XDA gonna do more harm than good if they have nill dev support as every user who purchases phone seeing ad on XDA hoping good development like OP would badly be disappointed and it hurts brand value indirectly. Basically majority phones which get advertised on XDA has excellent dev support already like One plus. Huawei is missing this point.

I am not a "business expert" and I willing to bet that you are not either. We have no idea what the nature of the business relationship is, with Huawei and it's hardware partners such as Hisilicon. Perhaps Huawei is unable to be more forth coming with its source code because of agreements they have with Hisilicon. Perhaps, Hisilicon, being relatively new to the market-place has decided that keeping their userspace code closed is in their best interest, in the face of older companies like Qualcom. Who knows? I think that companies do things by the numbers and if having "good development at XDA" could produce bigger profits for them, I'm sure they would encourage it. I willing to bet that 'custom ROM' development's impact on Huawei's bottom line is negligible. XDA is more useful to them for helping to spread the word about the brand. Also, XDA also generates revenue by advertising and although it is an unfortunate fact. When a ROM is running perfectly their is less reason to come here and post. When a ROM is half working and has lots of bugs, ppl are checking constantly while waiting for bugs to get fixes. If a ROM works well, then you just flash it and go on. No reason to stick around here....
I'm just spit balling anyway.... I could be all wrong...:laugh:

Yep, about 20 minutes from Springfield. :good:
So with Kirin, is it that they just haven't opensourced what you devs need? Has there been any 'official' discussion on that from them that would give any hope towards easier development
I didn't see links in your rom threads, and your threads don't have the Downloads tab on them like other rom threads do. Guessing you're hosting the files directly from your website you have linked in your threads?

I like to think I've done pretty well despite any lack of resources from Huawei. On the devices I own, to me at least, my ROMs are full daily drivers. Perhaps they are not perfect but without source it was never gonna be but, afaict the bugs are minor. I have never heard anything from Huawei on publishing their source. They publish their GPL stuff which is more than some companies do. I will admit that my ROMs probably run better on the P9 Lite and the P10 Lite because I own those devices and when they have problems, I can get information personally. Something I can't do for devices I don't own.

Well if you're nearby in SPFD you can always hit me up if you need a phone to test stuff on, haha.
One thing that can help revive the development is an Oreo update with treble support
As a manufacturer of phones you obviously have to evaluate a number of things in the design, capability, performance, marketing and support of any new product.
Users however, once they've bought their device, only care about one thing and that's support.
It seems clear, that some bean counters within Xiaomi have looked at the disappointing sales for the product, then have made a determination that providing ongoing support is not cost effective, that is a mistake and I'll explain why.
There maybe only a million users of this device worldwide, but turning a flagship phone into an abandonware device, within a year, is just not good business practice for a fledgling manufacturer trying to carve a niche out for for itself in a ridiculously competitive market. Not because of the million customers you'll upset, frankly in the big scheme of things that doesn't matter, but every new product you launch from here on forward has to get reviews and many of those reviews will make reference to your disdain for your paying customers, so it's not the million current users that are impacted, it's the hundreds of millions of future potential users who will read reviews that point out your happy to dump them if it suits you. That's just not good practice.
A companies reputation is the singularly most valuable intellectual property it owns, if you're happy to have a corporate mentality that will just p*ss that up against the wall you're certain to fail in the long term.
Make a commitment to at least deliver Android 10 to the platform, it'll pay you back in spades in the long term.
I can understand where you are going with this, but two things. First, Android 10 is available for perseus, not sure about andromeda. Second, Xiaomi will almost certainly never read this. If you are going to post this, I suggest putting it on their bulletin boards. I am a beta tester for Xiaomi, and I can tell you the frustration in the communication groups from users of Mix devices is obvious. Redmi "value" devices get more frequent and sooner updates, which is irritating. There are users in the communication groups used for this, almost always from India or the Middle East that demand updates, spam PM admins (including Xiaomi employees) via these tools, and the forums, asking repeatedly every week or more often for updates for their Redmi devices, and why Android 11 isn't available etc. The company is having to deal with that, and the same level of spam on the boards. Unfortunately, it seems the squeaky wheel gets the grease from Xiaomi.
I agree the Mix 3 flagship that I paid almost $700 for, not including a month shipping wait and the shipping cost, feels more like a bargain Motorola device on update frequency and speed. I hear you. This may be my last Xioami device.

Thanks for the reply, but honestly, I have better things to do then chase a company who seem intent on self destruction, if they need me to nag them into understanding what a sheeeet sandwich this is then some very senior management are just really stupido dumb frucks.
That said, they've got a lot of 'The product' end well sorted out, but haven't yet worked out reviewers remember.
Stay safe
As a blogger and as a part of the Xiaomi Staff, i must say that you're right: awful support for "Andromeda". I wish to be sincere with you, as a long time xda user. We had an internal Zoom Live Conference three days ago, i cannot reveal about what it was, but i can say you that we also talked A LOT about the Mi Mix 3 5G version. Has been said that the MIUI 11 + Android 10 update (that was supposed to come) have been pushed into very few devices but as soon as they pushed it, they just stopped it. That happened "because we found problems that may irreparably harm the device". So the missing update was because they found problems...anyway the low sales of the devices probably made them lose interest in trying to fix that problems because a lot of orher devices were launching, and nowadays they sold a lot well compared to Mix 5G. The same things happens with MIUI 12. First some rumors said that the device would receive the update, then other rumors said not...but the truth is in the middle for Xiaomi. In the Zoom call we heard that developers didn't abandoned at all the possibility to update the device and they're trying to fix problems, it may come very late...but at least it may come. I don't have any other news about that. I've seen a petition around so you all made all you can do. Me, as user, i'm really angry too because before buying a Mix 3 (4G version) i was so tented in buying the 5G version instead, and seeing that as now it has little to none suoport...well makes me feel very angry and i underatand you all for that reason. I can say that something is moving, so don't give up.
Last thing. Take this as confidential for obvious reasons. Thank you
For anyone that is interested here is my reply from Xiaomi customer support:
EDIT: See following post
Screenshot (original reply from Xiaomi 15 May)
If they are struggling with MIUI I'm sure a fair few of us on here would appreciate a stock android 10
An update would be very nice indeed but let's not forget the phone in my opinion is amazing I do love a fresh update though

Yes, they’re planning to. But as you can see the device does not appear in any of the official list avaible. They’re moving with caution. As soon as I have more concrete info (if the company doesn’t officially speak) rest assured that I’ll write them here

Yeah that's the paln. Very disappointed tough. People wanted (and DESERVED) an OS update. Also i'd like to tell everyone that on 5th September, Mi MIX 3 and a bunch of other smartphones will stop getting BETA weeklies.

Wow!!
That's just appalling.
Everyone who reads this should make sure that every YouTube or Online review for any Xiaomi product going forward reminds people about this abandonware policy, really is a terrible decision by a company trying to make a name for themselves in this crowded marketplace, looks like they may end up making the wrong kind of name.
This is what happens when you release 74892746729 models. You can't take care of them. I want to get back to the mi4-mi5 era where we had so many updates.
I am not familiar enough with Xiaomi naming so please forgive me the stupid question. I am looking for a category about `Xiaomi Redmi 10`, not `Note 10` but apparently there is none, I would like to find ROM (crDroid, LineageOS or sth similar) for that phone but it looks like there aren't any. Are there other, possibly region specific naming conventions that point to this device and I don't know about it or maybe there is no category for it for some other reason? It is apparently codenamed: `selene`.

There´s nothing (unfortunately) for your device, and not, it isn´t because is a MediaTek device, there are more problematic devices like Realme, and they have a lot of ROMs out there, and there are good MediaTek devices like the Redmi Note 8 Pro that had and has a lot of development, it´s probably because there’s no good reasons, in my opinion, to buy a R10 instead a RN10 for such a little difference price (in various markets), AMOLED/Snapdragon/UFS versus TFT-LCD/MediaTek/eMMC?
I could find only this as a kind of review and some useful tools that's provided https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/redmi-10-10-prime-selene-global-roms-and-flashing.4359019/. You can add to your search "Redmi 10/Redmi 10 Prime XDA" and see if something arises some time.
The most you can try by now is flashing GSI, but you must be double careful, MediaTek devices are inclined to be easily bricked.
I didn't buy it yet, I am considering it because I can get one at a very competetive price (I don't have much money) and I am not able to fix my redmi 5 plus which was flooded (touch doesn't work, I might create a thread about it later)
As for Note 10 they are not only more expensive where I live but also the ones sold are with MediaTek Dimensity 700 CPU (https://allegro.pl/oferta/smartfon-xiaomi-redmi-note-10-4-128gb-srebrny-nfc-11725153893, https://www.morele.net/smartfon-xiaomi-redmi-note-10-5g-4-128gb-dual-sim-granatowy-33252-8536262/), I believe they should be classified as 10T or sth. The `proper` ones with AMOLED screen are priced higher and they send them from China so I would have to wait a month.
I wanted to avoid flashing GSI ROMs in general.
Yeah, thanks I tried the search I thought about sth device specific though.
The thing I wasn't aware of was problematic MediaTek devices I guess.
Look at Poco M3 if its available to your country. Its pretty budget and has custom rom support. But beware of dead boot issue. Dont know if they fixed that yet.
When choosing a "cheap" phone, you should decide between two future destinies. Either look for a phone with custom ROM support, or you have to settle for a bundled system without the ability to improve unsatisfactory features. Don't hold out much hope for future change. Custom support tends to be significant only for devices that are more in demand, and it becomes apparent shortly after the device goes on sale.

The longer it takes to take it to a technician, the more parts will be compromised, the main reason for this is that you need the moisture to go away.

I did not refer to the 5G version that also has a MediaTek (not the issue here though) I did refer to the normal Redmi Note 10 which the price difference in my country is not more than 30 USD, it really doesn't worth, just to save some bucks.

If you still didn't buy it and want a developer community support, DON'T buy it, the time has passed for something to emerge, and it is unlikely that much comes up.
The RN10 is a very equilibrated device, it's not the beast but have a few good points, I had and there are better devices for benchmarks, but this is not the only that matters.

I am not familiar enough with Xiaomi naming so please forgive me the stupid question. I am looking for a category about `Xiaomi Redmi 10`, not `Note 10` but apparently there is none, I would like to find ROM (crDroid, LineageOS or sth similar) for that phone but it looks like there aren't any. Are there other, possibly region specific naming conventions that point to this device and I don't know about it or maybe there is no category for it for some other reason? It is apparently codenamed: `selene`.

There are both official and unofficial roms for redmi 10. But none of them even have a topic on xda. You can see roms and topics in 4pda and miuiturkiye forums.
Make a custom ROM for yourself

Join telegram groups. You will find many custom roms & kernels. No development on XDA. Weird, right?
