just few questions with my old rk3188t tablet - General Questions and Answers

Hello. I have my old tablet based on rk3188t with 1GB RAM and android 4.4. The model is WM-BR8150.
It's made for the education so it is really slow.
this can't even run the educational app properly. So im trying to upgrade the android version and i think it would perform much better than before.
But i couldn't find any firmwares for this model.

2. Will it become more faster than before?
3. If avobe questions are positive, what are the procedures to upgrade?

IMO how fast an Android device runs basically isn't related to Android version in use, but mainly depends on its hardware components like CPU/GPU, RAM & monitor, and, not to forget, utilization of device's internal storage medium.
Also, Android can get speed up if it gets de-googled.

Thanks for the replay. I just rooted this tablet and installed some apps to increase the performance like setcpu.
But it is still slow. I cant degoogle it since im using few google apps too.. Also i have some few apps to run in this tablet but because of old android version, i cannot install those apps. It would be great if i can upgrade to androd 5 or 6.
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure upgrading Android will not speed up this tabet. But of course you can do so if you find the needed suitable softwares as these are: Custom Recovery and Custom ROM.

Object with this ROM is speed and extreme performance by 16% boost. Brand New sharper looking graphics but that doesn't overwhelm the tablet. Features a couple of idea's I had but this one P1 and sure to follow other P versions. I wanted to release it as to show you want can be still be done with this tablet. New Enhanced Stylish Keyboard included.
Here are some samples of the new appearance have created some objects are gone and some new mirror finish has appeared.
I've added YouTube for Android OS 1.6, Skype, Android Calculator, a cool Farm game and Virtual Piano Keyboard. HoneyComb features are improved and are included in this package if you want to use them are optional. Everything works in this full version. Your getting the best I offer here and with all the members feedback I've fix a lot of stuff. Note: Nook is no longer available.
Hope you give this ROM MOD a try and let me know what you think of it? But remember this is P1 and with good feedback more improvements can be made on it.

[ROM] TabTronics FT10 rk3188 - Custom ROM Firmware

If you have bought one of these tabs and are as unhappy about it as I was then read on.
THESE ARE IN NO WAY 'FLYTOUCH 10' MODELS!
I know what it says in the about page but anyone can spoof a model name in build.prop. These are in fact SuperPad 10s http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/10-RK3188-quad-core-android-4_1622115746.html Look familiar?
TabTronics lie about the spec of these devices (NO GPS and only 1.4ghz NOT 1.6)! I got mine for free because they wanted me to keep my mouth shut about their false advertising. Just shows how dodgy some people can be.
Anyway, I now have a FREE rk3188 tab to play with. First off spec. The parts inside this tab seem to be a mix of rk3066 and rk3188 gear (Notice the Flytouch 9 is the same form factor and an rk3066?).
Ive seen 2 versions of this firmware now. the one it came with (which was a mix of an M8Pro and a TV stick firmware) and the one on their site (the better one).
Ive built a basic version of the firmware on the site and it runs well!
spec:
2Gb Internal storage (More games/apps) at the cost of external storage (12Gb Free)
De-Bloated
De-Odexed
init.d support
CWM Touch Recovery v6.0.3
Cant remember if its fully rooted but I can show you how if it isnt
Antutu score is around 18k depending on what im doing. Boot time seems to get longer and longer, not sure if its the apps im running or an issue with the firmware (more testing needed). I usually get above the Samsung S3 so that keeps me happy
I fully intend to develop this rom and maybe at some point expand it to other platforms. If anyone is interested in helping me with this project then please pm me
Anyway, here is the link, use batchtool and do a restore (may need to format the internal card on first boot), takes about 10 mins to do the initial setup so dont worry, it hasnt stalled
DOWNLOAD
I hope this helps someone somewhere get the best out of this device. Feel free to comment, good or bad

Bad performance

Hello all!
Well, I know that our XT925/XT926 is outdated, BUT about 3 years ago, every rom on my XT925 ran perfectly fine.
Now, I just can't use my smartphone, freezes 80% on usage, take ages to navigate via Chrome, take photos, back to home screen. I can't execute 2 apps at same time, or I listen my music, or I open Messenger/Whatsapp/Telegram..
Recently I've been installed many roms (Dirty Unicorns, CM11/12/13, Omni, SlimKat), and the performance problem persists
Occours too if I flash stock with RSD(4.1.2) and let him via OTA upgrade to 4.4.2.
Is anybody with same bad performance?
Thank You!

Although you're using the same ROMs you used 3 years ago, you're using different, newer versions of almost every app.
These newer versions all have many more features then the old versions, and the creators expect users to have newer phones with much more memory and much faster processors, thus these newer apps will place greater load on the RAM and CPU.
This is why your phone has worse performance than before.
You can try solving this by finding an APK archive site and installing much older versions of your apps, then going to the Play Store and disabling "Auto-update" for those apps, but you will lose all the newer features of those apps, too.

Best Smartphones - that are rootable & have nice Custom Roms?

Hi Guys,

Especially looking for one with a Superb Camera.

(obviously only Android - Iphone Users don't have much advanced control over their phonse..)
Because for Example Galaxy S21 isn't rootable (yet?) - I mostly used rooted (&optimized) Samsung Smartphones (now still having the S10)
Wich one you would recommend these Days?
Because I never want to use a Smartphone, wich lags root possibillities (without it is too insecure, too many ads, too many ****/spy apps etc etc)
Probably you are also looking for one, so we would be happy to share our Knowledge.
My Candicate for now:
Galaxy S21 Ultra
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/02-06-21-g998b-i-dr-ketan-rom-i-oneui-3-1.4247357/
See you:
It seems, there aren't many users watching this.
I think many would be interested, but I also know, that many pro users are only interested in their smartphones forums, not this one.
However when you have an better Idea, please let me know.
not sure that package falls entirely in one phone. OnePlus lots of roms but cameras... Pixels maybe, but it's not top tier SoCs. I think Samsung is doing everything it can to block unlock but it still be done on non updated phones. GSIs might be the future of decent roms for many.
if Samsung release the rumoured S21FE it might be a snapdragon that's unlockable on international versions.
For me, I vote Pixel #1 and OnePlus #2. I won't buy anything else! I've owned everything at one time or another but these devices use custom AOSP roms as if they were born with them. Current using Pixel 4XL stock rom August 2021 build along with few magisk mods and Sultan kernel. I couldn't ask for a better experience really!!

Question Pad Plus (TB-J607F) new ZUI 14 issues

Hi all,
I just updated my Pad Plus to ZUI 14 - v14.0343 ST (original china ROM), and I noticed a few changes:
*I had to use VPN to get the OTA update, and after update, I did a factory reset just to have a clean install
- First off, it took me quite some time to figure out how to run google play store, as it didnt allow me to sign in, eventually found out I had to go to Settings > Apps management > 3 dots on top > Google Basic Services > and enable it
- After going through the settings, some things are slightly better, the UI feels nicer, but not much difference, main differences I noticed:
- PC mode is gone, now it only works when you plug an external display
- Some new improvements for the Lenovo Pen
- Improved taskbar
- Some keys of my PS5 DualSense controller don't work, and the right analog doesn't work either (Is anyone also encounternig a similar issue? what about on the Global Rom
Has anyone seen similar issue as above with mismapped controllers on same version or on global?
Also Im considering installing the Global version of TB-J607Z on my TB-J607F, can someone confirm if its better and I see here these versions:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Are those the last two? or is there another update received via OTA?
For whoever has TB-J607F but is running the version of TB-J607Z if you could let me know, please, Im just a bit concerned as the process seems a bit complex, and am afraid of loosing W L1
Much appreciated, thanks
"Global" versions from 607z model lets say they just bad, stick to your zui rom.
Can you give me Pad Plus to ZUI 14 - v14.0343 ST (original china ROM). I need an backup rom.
I was update TB-J607Z rom but fail
does anybody have a link to download zui 14? maybe a guide on how to instal it over the TB-J607Z rom?
