Hi all
I have been searching for a decent tablet to root and flash a custom rom like lineage OS. I've tried the cheap stuff like RCA (6783w42 FYI). Bricked it. I've got a cheap chinese tablet with no brand name , a mediatek 6592 chip and it runs android lollipop which I didn't discover until it put a CPU checker app on it. (false advertising by seller). I would have like to try the amazon kindle fire 7 16 gig or Kindle fire 8 HD 32 gig but I am so tired of throwing away money. Can anyone recommend a decent device?
Android Marshmallow ( Android 6 ) was released October 5, 2015: it's absolutely out-of-date, IMO. Same with Android Lollipop ( Android 5.1 ) what was released April 22, 2015,
Today devices get shipped with Android 12 - released October 4. 2021.
Take note that rooting any device's Android doesn't require to flash a Custom ROM - what would require to flash a Custom Rrcovery beforehand.

Hello,
I relate my experience with rooting, cwm(ing), cyanogenmod(ing) 10.1 on my Samsung Galaxy plus. Done on July 2013.
Why ? : Stock firmware 2.3.5 Gingerbread, No update nor upgrade were provided by Samsung/operator. I got free this smartphone on 2011, with a operator plan for 2 years. I didn't dare to tweak on it.
How ?: Mad enough, I start to read seriously every thread and feedback on upgrading android smartphone, wherever I could.
Well, the tasks are horrible ! bricking, stalled etc ...
Hopefully I found XDA-develpers.com.

With Angst, I installed CWM, Cyanogenmod 10.1 (4.2.2 Aries), gapps), with SUCCES (my very first) , such as

A very good job from the dev.
Next, I installed framework and patch with dual Master key.
But the bluebox app still reporting danger. As far as I understand, framework is working in ram ... The protection is functionning like webroot antivirus and Rekey.
The biggest problem: getting root on the device ...
Update Tronfy MXIV to Android Lollipop?
I have a Tronfy MXIV TV box that I got from TinyDeals less than 2 months ago which runs Android 4.4.2. A few weeks ago they started selling an updated version with the name Telos with basically the same specs but comes with Android Lollipop pre-installed. Anyone know if its possible to update mine to Lollipop, either with the Telos firmware or a custom ROM?

the same story, now the mx4 telos is about $90, while my MX4 cost me more than 110 dollars, I found this link http://www.tinydealcouponcode.com/2015/08/21/android-lollipop-5-1%EF%BC%9Atronfy-tv-box-firmware-update-from-tinydeal-tech-support/ , use the official firmware and enjoy the best of Android 5.1.
Hi Jackiefire. I'm confused because the link on the TinyDeal website is for the update that has been on Tronfy's website since May. It is build number 202k, which is what my MXIV is running. It is Android 4.4.2, not 5.1 Lollipop. Is there something I'm missing?

The only real difference between them both is android 5 & the gibabit Ethernet.
The tronfy you have should soon be upgrade to android 5 so I would not worry too much about it + there are some bugs on the lollipop rom so I would advise you to stick with kitkat for now
Bugs on android 5 lollipop are

Hello everyone, my girlfriend has a Siragon tablet (local brand here in Venezuela) that is about 2 years old, seller stopped updates for all of its Android tablets but I'mm sure this tablet can handle either 5 or 6 (it's in Jelly beans right now).
However, since this is an unknown maker outside of VE, there are no roms for their products, I tried to see if I could install CM 13 and pray it worked but Recovery mode wont allow me since the rom is for Nexus 7 WIFI (flo) and the tablet is wing-s785 (???)
Any way I could force the install of CM 13 on this tablet or if there is any kind of universal stock Android to install? Or am I stuck with Jelly Beans?

Hello dear,
You can't use ROMs from other devices, because of different kernel and ROM configurations. If they stopped support for it,that is already done yet, sorry for this kind of information. :/
Thank you for visiting xda assist forum.

Hi, I have a LG X Power device model K220, its Stock ROM is Android 6.0.1 and since some important Apps for me no longer work for that version, I have been looking everywhere for modified ROMS from at least Android 8 or 9 onwards, but I do not get anything, I already checked the compatible devices for Lineage, Resurrection RMX, among others and nothing, if anyone has the knowledge of any modified ROM for LG K220 that is Android 8 or 9 onwards it would be of great help to me
