A - General Questions and Answers

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

[Q] Need Help with any Compatible Custom Rom for Measy TV Box

Hi all,
I'm new to the XDA-Dev Forums... and i'm desperate :crying: .
I recently purchased a Measy B4K android TV-Box / Stick. I want to upgrade this to at least android 4.2.2 or 4.3 if possible as it came with 4.1.1, but I cant find any custom roms for this product anywhere. It's supposed to support up to 2160p output, but for some reason even if i set it to a 1080p display setting it still looks like its just upscalling from 720p. Would really like to get a true 1080p kernel on the device.
Is it possible to use a "Generic" 4.2.2 or 4.3 android build? I unfortunately don't have a lot of experience with custom rom builds or installations, but i really want to learn if ANYone can assist I would REALLY appreciate it so so much!
i know this an old thread but i'll answer anyway as we just found some intresting stuff & upgrade that helps a lot
also to be sure it's this a31 device we have and i'm guessing your talking about the same thing : http://www.measy.com.cn/product/showproduct75_en.htm
not a custom rom but we've gotten hold of a developpers 4.2.2 RC3 firmware for measy b4k. We had trouble getting installed but another person found a way to do it. You need phoenixcard 3.09 (http://www.freaktab.com/showthread....S918S-firmware&p=131526&viewfull=1#post131526)
this rom https://alimail.alibaba.com/alimail...eb961&[email protected]
burn the rom as product using phoenixcard, install terminal app, erase nanda then, insert phoenix burned sdcard in measy b4k box, reboot. because the boot is gone (nanda) it will try to boot from sd card and start the firmware upgrade the normal methods using the hidden reco button on the left did not seem to work. but this did, i did as well as someone else.
To give you an idea with original firmware that came with the device i had around 10000 - 11000 antutu score with this dev build firmware i have 19000 antutu score and everything feels a lot smoother & faster.
1st succes upgrade

how to erase nanda on it
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread....S918S-firmware&p=132947&viewfull=1#post132947
do note if you fail at doing something but you erased nanda your device will not boot ! it's a bit risky but worked without a problem with me
Thanks for the info!

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

[Q] need help unbricking tablet Trio Stealth MST10-21

Hi all,
I've never installed android on a mobile device & I'm not sure if I can use any flavor of Android available
or if it's advisable.
Google's dev site, has Nexus 7 4.1.1 kernels available for download. I don't know if I should install it for
my generic tablet. I'm a bit hesitant in installing, even though it's what's installed, because this device
is my baseline for testing a game that I'm developing for low-end hardware.
My problem is that the company pushed updates that BRICKED my tablet.
If anyone has thoughts or can help me I would really appreciate it.
The company's support is atrocious! This will be the 2nd time I'd have to send a device back to them for
an RMA...once is enough.
Specs if it helps: 1GHz dual core Cortex-A9, Mali-400 MP GPU, 1Gb RAM
Thanks in advance...
Have you fixed it, I have the same problem, I need the original rom to flash. At Machspeed they simply won't do it. If you happen to have yours working I heard that there is a way to extract and zip the rom for future flash in case you need it.

Can I install a newer version of android on a Fly IQ4514 phone?

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.

Custom ROM Choice

Hi , I'm a Galaxy A51 user with 6GB RAM and 128GB Storage. I've been facing alot of lag and freeze and slow animations with Android 11 and the downgrade to Android 10 is no longer possible.
So I'm looking for a stable Custom ROM (Camera , Fingerprints working etc ... ) .
Any suggestions ?
you have a powerhouse.....you should not be facing lag at all so that in itself is weird and yea it could be the os
Custom rom suggestions could be suggestive, why not visit the awesome threads by our devs on here and see which one you like.....thats what xda is about after all.
Your device especially is spoilt for choice with one ui ports and a dev is even planning on android 12 support.
Explore xda....
all in all you asked for suggestions and mine is always lineage os...and i can see your device is supported by the latest lineage 18.1 so unofficial builds are unnecessary but since your device is samsung i would HIGHLY suggest you go for a port (by port i mean those one ui 3.x roms that still give u that samsung look and feel) Lineage strips your samsung completely and i find that to be an injustice cause samsung one ui is quite beautiful and since your device has a port of one ui(unlike mine)....go for it dont go for lineage.
Am a hundred percent sure not all are buggy....and just flash one that catches your eye and give it a spin.
