how to update chinese unbranded tablet? - General Questions and Answers

hello
i received a small chinese tablet running android 8.1
model cy-801g
cpu mt6753
it seems not possible to update, do you have any suggestion for update to newer android version at least to be able to install netflix and disney + apps? only youtube and prime video are available

Updates ( patches to existing Android ) get rolled out by OEM if they deem it necessary.
What you probably have in mind is to upgrade existing Android. That requires to
1. flash a suitable Custom Recovery
2. flash a device matching Cutom ROM - by means of flashed Custom Recovery

thanks
I already did it in the past, but on samsung devices
here i’m in trouble even identifying the model and brand
I was thinking it was possible to install a custom rom based on chip model

SoC mt6753 is in many devices, such as
Lenovo Vibe K4 Note
Meizu M2 Note
Micromax Canvas 5 E481
ZTE Blade V7
Ulefone Be Touch 3
LG K10
Coolpad Note 3 Plus
Infocus M808
Infinix Note 3
HTC Desire 628
LG X cam
Elephone M2
Huawei Enjoy 5s
LYF Water 10
Infinix Note 4
Gionee S6
Coolpad Note 3

each device has it's own partition layout (scatter) different hardware and different kernel. so the answer is NO
Android 8.1 is perfectly fine for up-to-date device, nearly 10% of all devices running Oreo. where did you got the idea from netflix and disney+ won't work on Oreo?

when i try to install netflix and disney+ apps they won’t even show in play store, and when I try from a link it says the device is not supported

this is most likely caused by unlocked bootloader or other reason that makes google play certification fail. try Kdragon's Universal Safety Net Fix module on LSPosed.

Problems with ZTE Blade a460

I've got my brand new zte blade a460 since two months ago. Just a good mid-low budget phone. It has a Snapdragon 210 (msm8909), and Android 5.1 (kernel 3.10.41, compilation EIG-ES-QB18S-A460 V1.0.3, hardware P890A20.H01)
I have some problem with the OS (sound, icons, wallpaper, sim disconections). I wrote to zte support and it seems, according with the answer, they are doing nothing on OS update for this phone.
My question is: could I update my phone with rom and cwm developed for another phone with the same chip (Snapdragon 210), like Huawei Honor 4a?

How to use Android Pay on LeEco Le pro 3?

Hi, I got a LeEco Le Pro 3 directly from China 8 months ago. Android pay just released in Canada and I want to use it.
But, When I open Android Pay on my Leeco Le Pro 3, it said : "Android Pay can't be used on this device - This may be because your device is rooted, has an unlocked bootloader or is running a custom ROM. As a result, Google can't confirm that your device meets Android Pay's security standards".
My phone isn't rooted! I checked it with some weird apps I found on the Play Store.
I do not have a custom ROM except if EUI is considered as a custom ROM.
Android Version : 6.0.1
EUI Version : 5.8.017S
Model Number : LEX720
Thank you for your support!

Is there any chance for note 10 lite to get a rom cook?

Hi guys, I was wondering whether it is possible for our note 10 lite to get a rom cook? Or it will be likely to have nothing? Thank you very much
+1, with at first please TWRP !!!!!!!
1. Custom Rom
OneUI based - you just bought the new released phone - which custom rom base you have in mind to bring it to note 10 lite?
AOSP based - Lineage probably will make a rom for this device - but then, why did you buy an SPEN rich feature phone in the first place, if you want an AOSP? You gotta realize how much of these oneui features you'll loose on an AOSP rom.
At the note 10 lite price point why didn't you buy an oneplus (just an example) which is so rich friendly on custom roms? And with an SD845/855 which is better than Exy9810.
@w41ru5
For me, I want stock samsung custom ROM (not AOSP, because too many lost fonctionnalities !)
Advantages :
_ TWRP : backup/restore/.....repair/....customize
_ Debloated
_ already root
_ no need to factory reset
_ already in debug mode (cool if you break your screen or screen don't work anymore ! I experience this on note 4 of my wife and can backup config/data without screen )
For example, ALEXNDR make very cool stock samsung ROM ! please ALEXNDR.... and please team TWRP for custom recovery
bad question. few people own note 10 lite. it is not possible to take root in the near future. I own note 8 for two years and I never had to root or unlock the bootloader.own octopus box and rooting is not possible.

Note 10 lite has an Exynos SoC which can be rooted because unlockable bootloader.
Maybe you have a note 8 with SnapDragon SoC for American market which has locked bootloader.

Note 8 can be rooted and there are quite a few ROMs for it, like a great ROM from @corsicanu.
As for note 10 lite, as long as the bootloader can be unlocked, where's the issue for not being rooted?
@w41ru5 : Your wrong ! Note 10 lite bootloader can be unlocked and android rooted ! See My method : xda
But custom recovery missing !!!

Google Play Services for AR not supported on Infinix Note 8i x683

Hello I am using an Infinix note 8i android device, which is the upgraded version of Infinix note 7 and infinix note 6 which are both supported by ARCore, while my device which is newer and uses a better GPU and better CPU and has and overall better camera and has same accelerator and gyroscope sensors as the inifinx note 7 isn't supported. So is there any way to install it on my device? I tried downloading the APK and installing it but then whenever I try any AR app it crashes.
I need it as I am working on an AR project and need to test it on my device to see if the application works correctly.
So is there any method to actually get the AR working? Even if rooting is needed I have no problem doing that as long as it will solve the problem.
Thank you fro your time.

what rom for a Lenovo Z6 Youth ? (aka Lite aka K10 Note)

Hello
Is there any "good" rom for the Lenovo Z6 Youth ? (aka Lite aka K10 Note)
With the official roms from Lenovo, either chinese or global, the GPS never work...
With the custom roms I tried (can't remember the name), slow-motion is unavailable, google play always gets stuck forever on "getting account details", and GPS still never work...
I find many custom roms here and on other websites but it seems that they all have annoying bugs, and I don't want to test each and every one of them...
If there are Z6 Lite users here, what roms do you guy recommend to me ?
Thanks
Try Lineage OS 12.1, pixel experience or if you want to use customization use spark os. both are available on telegram group or other you tube website. Everything is fixed now. Lineage OS pixel experience . personally i would recommend pixel rom. if you want more security try lineage os.
