Custom rom development on All new dimensity chips - General Questions and Answers

Hello community.....happy to see all are still helping needy......
Today it's my turn I request all my lovely developer's to clear my confusion....
I just wanted to buy a new phone with dimensity chipset. But as I know it's made by Mediatek, n with my little knowledge It's big a problem for developer's with Mediatek chipset to develop custom roms as they never or rarely release their source code.
So my question is now (I think) trend is changing is there any possibilities to have some custom roms based on newly launched Dimensity 7,8,10,11 & 12 series chipset based phone's.
If someone shred a your precious light on this issue will solve my problem in buying a new phone.
Thank you in advance n believe me will hit button as much I have allowed

I also was questioning the same thing. Let's hope we will get an answer

Still no answer to this? Are those chips so unpopular?

Don't know bro ...still not able to decide which one to go either with dimensity 1200 or sd695....may be my thread is not that much popular

I am using the Realme 9 Pro plus for some time now. It is a great device but I would go with an SD chipset in the future.

if you dont need custom rom , emulation , then mali gpu is fine

[Q] which rom will work on following config ?

Hi Recently purchased a tablet for which I am not able to find any custom ROM. The configuration is as follows .
processor - 1.2 Ghz Cortex A8 Dual Mali 400 2D/3D core
The model of tablet is Micromax funbook Infinity p275. I have gained the root access for the tablet but cannot find any custom ROM for it .Is there any ROM for a device that will work o this device too?
I ran the application "android system info" on the device and found the following information
CPU-ARMv7 Processor rev 2(v71)
build info-
CPU ABI-armeabi-v7a
The tablet does not have any volume rocker keys.It only have home and power keys in it and a reset button hole.
Thanks

This is why I would have found out if there was support here on XDA first before purchasing. I don't understand why People buy cheap or uncommon devices then come here asking for things like ROMs or rooting.

because not everybody have money like you to afford the tablet they wish for, and I think that's the forum for, to ask help, nobody hit your had, and nobody will, if you won't help, so stop with those noob answers.
You can always buy a used tablet that *used to* be popular and thus has development from when it was or might still have some going on.
I would not buy such a tablet unless I planned on playing it to try to make a ROM myself - if it was even possible.
You can get a decent Android tablet with decent amounts of development for like, $100 new so I don't think it's asking that much when it comes to buying a "gadget" that's not necessary.

[Q] ZTE Nubia Z5S a good choice?

im looking at ZTE Nubia Z5S (NX503A) got some nice specs for 400$ price tag.
5.0 inches, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 Quad-core 2.3 GHz Krait 400, 2GB ram, 16GB, 13MP camera, andriod 4.2.2 etc..
i have never used android phone before so im hoping u guys can help me. i did some googling and didnt find any roms or any other modifications usually go with a andriod device.
i would like to know if this is a worth buying since this phone only available in china.

Is this phone sold in country, or are you going to import it from china? Because if not, I would not recommend you a chinese phone. If it is defective you'll have a hard time returning it (if you can at all) etc.
Btw, if you come from iPhone, I strongly recommend you Google-listed devices (assume you live in the US, it would be HTC One, Nexus 5, SGS4) that come with the stock Android UI. They are updated as soon Google pushes out updates, which is closer what you experience on the iPhone.
Since chinese phones except for Huawei ones are rarely supported in XDA (they lack documentation, source etc) I would not recommend you a chinese phone if you want to try out new ROMs.
If you are ready to take the risks there you go. But as a first time Android user, no way I would go with that phone.
My recommendation for you is the Nexus 5. Hope this helps.
i have to import from china. im a symbian user im sorry i forgot to mentioned where i live. im from sri lanka and no play store available. no way to get a nexus 5. even if somehow managed get my hands on a nexus 5 it would costs me around 550-600$.

If it has to be a chinese phone then I suggest you the Xiaomi Mi3. Great User Interface (MIUI), great update support and best hardware for little money. Xiaomi is also highley popular, it is being regarded like Apple in china.
Go straight for Nubia, it has the best specs out there and far away the best price. I just order it btw.

Good question, in deed I just got a Nubia z5s 3 weeks ago.
(I used to be a Moto supporter, but got disappointed by Moto's sales policy - however, CDMA users can hardly have so many choices as others. forget HTC, bad quality.)
Somebody mentioned Xiaomi, I don't think it's a good option. Nubia's hardware spec is almost the same as Xiaomi, but Xiaomi's shipment and sales policy will drive you crazy. You have to attend to a luck draw first, then could have a chance to buy one!
Regarding the experience, herein I only talk about my experience.
1. BATTERY:
From 7am to 10pm, medium use, about 75% is consumed.
2. DISPLAY:
Much better than MOTO X :laugh: , 1080p. Also, the color is not so cold as Samsung.
3. VOICE&MESSAGE:
Fairly clear, however the location of Mic is just under USB port. sometimes your finger could swipe it when picking up.
As CM user, very delighted to see vibrate setup in "settings", SMS also designed with popup
4. CAMERA
I didn't test too much. However, the respond speed is satisfying.
5. SOFTWARE
a. I have to acknowledge that the UI design is lower than my expectation, especially the icons. Styles in default apps and system UI are not actually unique. But most Androider will change the launcher at soonest, am I right? (ps. I really hate Samsung's UI and the screen density!)
b. Furthermore, the system compatibility...there's no surprise, also no fetal bugs.
c. Seemed Nubia team learnt a lot from CM team. They just released source CODE on their website.
d. It can be ROOTED easily.
e. Some local team has ported CWM RECOVERY on it. Nice job!
f. It's said MIUI by local team is on the way. Also, some guy is working on its AOSP now.
6. AUDIO
Sorry but I never play songs via cell phone. Somebody has idea?
7. DESIGNING
I spent almost one week to get familiar with the weight - it's too light
8. NETWORK
GSM/TD/CDMA, not sure if it can be used in Verizon network?
In conclusion, it didn't disappoint me. I'd be delighted to see more improvements or 3rd party's works on ROMs in near future.
Guys, is this phone suitable for the dutch network and.if flashed with multi language you can use dutch language?

And do you have Play Store installed?
im still waiting for my phone to arrive, but i have seen CWM and Rooting on official Nubia forums. everything is in Chinese. if someone can translate and post here.
Google play works just install gapps 4.2.2 ( you need google framework )
For the Chinese forums use google translate thats how it works 4 me !
The kingnubia rom is recommended it got it all in 1 rom !

[Q] Possibility of hiring a developer for Meizu MX4 stock android ROM

Ok so basically I'm just wondering how one would about paying a developer to crack the locked bootloader and possibly create a custom kernel for a mediatek cpu.
I own the meizu mx4 and although I love this thing, I cant help but think how much stock android and an overclocked kernel would make it even better. But, as it stands meizu in their infinite wisdom decided to lock the bootloader and not release any kernel source.
Is it even possible for someone to crack those things and if so how much would it cost to pay someone to do it? Serious probably stupid question.
Cheers.
Sorry if this is the wrong place for such a query.

Search ROM for ASUS MeMO Pad FHD 10 ME302C ( Android 7 or 8 ;) )

Hi Guys,
im the new guy i search an rom for my ASUS MeMO Pad FHD 10 ME302C i found some roms for ASUS_MeMO_Pad_FHD_10_ME302KL but the hardware is diffrent.
does anyone know how i flash this tablet to android 7 ?
at the moment there is android 4.3 installed , everytime when i try to install something i get the message to old android .... but in my opinion the hardware is good enough to run android 7.
CPU : Intel® Atom™ Z2560 Dual-Core, 1.6 GHz
Graphic : PowerVR SGX 544MP
push .
does anyone know a rom for my device ?
I also want to know
Owners of ASUS MeMoPad FHD 10 (ME302C) should probably try to crowdfund a developer to get us a new ROM.
I know for me I am willing to donate to this crowdfunding drive. This tablet still has a pretty good hardware and with the new ROM will
definitely run any apps installed. So let's get a group of ME302C owners and start a crowdfund to a developer who can create a new ROM!
Absolutely agree. I'd be happy to chip in too. The only question is, how much it will cost, how many people are willing to chip in, how to spread the news and find interested parties; and, to be fair, once the new ROM is written and paid for, it should only be made available to the people who actually donated their money. gofundme.com may be a good place to start.
Maybe we can

Please, contact with me here if you planned to donate (or if you a rom developer), on insta:do_.b
I think it will be very usefull for everyone who has this tablet, but I think we need smth like a team, to coordination.
Hi guys. I'm an Italian user and I agree with you... Our tablet is still a great device. So I would like a new Rom for it because many application are becoming unsupported. Do you know if there are some differences between the different region production? Tell me how I can recognize my version Rom or kernel or something like that.
However I'm with you.

Has anyone bought generic unbranded smartphones available on ebay etc?

1) I'm hoping someone can advise pls! I'm a very light user mostly for wsapp and sometimes maps/gps when walking (no gaming and occasionally watch youtube videos) so was hoping to find something £40-£50.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M20-Pro-...var=564119885073&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649
There are others I'm looking at but they don't mention anything about the processor (sometimes it'll mention the number of cores but no name)? The specs seem way better than even xiaomi phones for the same money, I know there's gonna be no support updates etc. how important is that? Couldn't I just search for a custom ROM, try to upgrade to higher android version etc? Would it be difficult/impossible to find roms for an unbranded phone?
Also I've read that there's a possibility they could just be sneaky re-brands so potentially could be getting a xiaomi etc. phone for less?
2) I'm also considering paying a bit more if unbranded is a no-go. Xiaomi Redmi 7 3GB/32GB around £100 vs Xiaomi Mi Play 4GB/64GB if it's £6 more?
I like the extra ram and storage for only £6 more but the battery seems better on R7 and larger screen

I've seen some advertisements (on wish.com or Ali Express) for devices with no apparent name brand that mention having 10 core processors, dual sim, Android 9 and more. These are all MTK devices which pose difficulties if you want to flash a ROM into them to upgrade or change something. RCA tablets are MTK devices and I, along with many others have spent a lot of time just trying to gain access to such devices. It's been done. However, it has been more than difficult as of yet to find any compatible ROMs and these devices are extremely picky when it comes to using other ROMs. For those of us that are currently still working on it, we have yet to find anything compatible. That's not saying they are bad devices, they are actually pretty good I've had mine (the RCA Maven, Viking and Galileo) for years with little problems.

Theoretically there should be, but many here would rather work on the newest devices most of which are not MTK (Media Tek). They're not built like Samsungs and if you open one up the whole motherboard is the size of today's phones or roughly one quarter the size of the tablet which could be the reason they're so cheap. The only thing I've been able to flash into mine is the original stock firmware, anything else led to bricking. And recovering from a brick is difficult the SP Flash tool is nothing like the Odin3 we use for Samsungs.
