Hello friends, excuse me if my question is very basic , but recently, I'm entering the world android, a month ago I bought my android phone. My phone is probably dualsim Chinese, the model name is STAR A9000 Dual Sim (in the last part I attached a photo and their characteristics), this phone has 2.2.1 Froyo Android, the phone is very good but has many limitations when installing applications, for example when trying to install the application SetCPU, I can not run the application because the kernel does not support my phone.
My question is, if this cell STAR A9000 can update your kernel or rom, and as I could find these updates for my model phone. Because the Internet is not much information on the kernel of the Chinese android cellphone
I have attached information on my cell phone
Thank you very much for your help. Sorry but my English is not very good.

Hello ! I have a STAR A5000 with the same cpu . You need to root your phone with Z4root but it won't help because i can't overclock cpu with any app. We need to wait for a solution ;(
Hello I have A5000 too , I did a test with AnTutu Benchmark and I saw that the CPU speed is just 207.66 MHz . What is the truth about ΜΤΚ 6516 ?
Hello:
So is it worth to buy the Star A9000 for Android Development ?
Thanks for your time,
I would like to know this too, got the same phone and theres no custom ROMS for it out on the internet. And its very slow, would be nice to have someone that will give us a ROM thats faster than this stock 2.2.1

Hello, what Release of Skype can be installed on this phone?
Infinite Boot Loop
Hey everyone,
I got an A9000 phone a month ago, and since then, I slowly emerged into the Android community. Right now I have a problem:
I get the infinite boot loop after modifying services.jar and framework-res.apk. Another problem I have is that i cannot select anything in the system restore settings. Any cure for this?
Thanks in advance.

Does anybody know something about developing roms and mods for brilliant tablet carrefour ct704 wich is equipped with a processor A9 cortex of 800 Mhz, 512 Ram and 3d core, capacitive ?.... i'm wondering that...i have searched all the forums and google it ...but in vain...please, if anybody know something about that let me know...or even we can open a new thread forum for owners of tablet carrefour ct 704....hope i will get any advice or answer...thanks in advance to anyone willing to help!
It happens that I own this tablet and maybe somebody will find this useful...
You can find this device under many names, like Carrefour CT704 or Win Accord CT 704, so this means it's built by some other OEM manufacturer under a dozen or so brand names. I haven't tracked the original manufacturer yet so I can't say more about this.
It's hardware and software aren't impresive but they do their job well. Here are they:
Screen: 7 inch, 800x600 capacitive multitouch touchscreen
Processor: 800MHz ARM Cortex A9 with 3D Core
RAM: 512MB
Internal Storage: 2 GB
OS: Android 2.2.1 Froyo
MicroSD slot that accepts cards up to 32GB (I use a 8GB one and it works well)
It's equiped with a accelerometer, mic, stereo speakers and Wifi. On the box it sais that it's capable of 1080p HD video playback (I haven't tested this yet)
One thing you must know is that the usual Google apps (like market, docs, maps) are not included, they prefered to use Getjar instead. You have to install the Google apps yourself (Took me about a day to do this since I'm a noob but the whole process takes only 20 seconds).
I found both the original ROM image and the Google Apps update but the forum doesn't allow me to post links...so if anyone needs them I'll pm the links to both files.

Hi ! I think it's too new and it's not popular to have custom roms, if you use W700 instead w808, you will get custom roms ^^ sorry for my bad english. About google play store, i have no idea but you can use Tegra zone to install app and games for Tegra 2
Xie Xie John (sorry my Chinese is very bad )
Unfortunately installing Tegrazone application still use Google Play (crashing on my phone) and it seems that Chinese based phones are either consider non compatible or get a "This item cannot be installed in your device's country". Apparently somebody is working on a ROM at bbs.mumayi. com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=408006 but my Chinese is not good, so I will have to work hard on it... Any help welcome
got something
Hi Joe,
I bought the same stuff 2 days ago in a shop in Guangzhou and I got a cool chinese guy to install something that kind of works.
It is not quite clean and I am struggling to get quite a few things straight (the keyboard he installed is from "Baidu" a sort of search engine super popular in China and I am 300% sure it logs every stroke to update their databases with email addresses and passwords, the contact system does not allow me to see/edit the group for my contacts, etc.), but the google play thing works kind of ok.
If you want I can try to get something better from him and share.
Please specify better what exactly you have and what you need.

Hi to all, My GF's daugther just got an 7" OMY Q88 tablet with 8Gb flash, 512Mb Ram, 1GHz A13 Cpu, running (Android version 4.0.4 - Baseband 1.5 - kernel 3.0.8+ [email protected] #95 - build number nuclear_evb-eng_AL_4.0.4), from her mother and I'm trying to see if I can get it to work with SMS and phone calls.
So I'm using Globe tattoo usb stick E1552 & E153(rebranded Huawei) attached by USB dongle. Both work fine for internet using PPPwidget and sending SMS through GO SMS Pro, but is unable to receive SMS or make phone calls(I tried most dialers from Play store).
Thoose things work perfect on a pc, so what is Android missing?
She needs this tablet when starting in college this comming june, and there is no public Wi-Fi on campus.
Here in the Philippines, things we take for granted in other countries, are scares to be found.
There are plenty of apps for windows and pc but eventhough I have used 5 days and looked though hundreds of google pages using different search criterias, I have not been able to find a solution for Android.
As I see it, there is connection, otherwise I would not be able to send SMS.
A few examples for pc:

http://www.ozekisms.com/index.php?owpn=384
http://mobiforge.com/developing/story/sms-messaging-android
The last one is alien language to me as I'm not an programmer.
I even installed the JB Messaging app from XDA - but sadly it had no effect.
What I need is offline SMS, there are plenty of apps for online SMS but her money is not enough for constant internet.
Hope someone can help
with kind regards
JBJ
Allmost 1 year later and no-one has a solution??????
You guys are briliant in any other way, can't one of you figure out to make an app that can tap into the phone/sms functions of a usb modem - just like it works in windows?
Please
JBJ
Ps. this guy made it work for Pc. Maybe his work can be converted to android?

Hi Developers,
I just wondering if anyone working on a custom ROM to turn old Android phone such as Xperia X8 into a Wearable Android SmartWatch device.
It would be nice to have, since I believe most of have have at least an old Android phone lying around unused.
Already had the same idea of yours.For software, you can just install two things to make it a clock and save battery, eco home launcher and anolog clock widget or live wallpaper. Then set screen timeout to the max, disable lockscreen and set brightness to auto or the lowest. Disable all data connections and set it to airplane mode since youre not using it for calls. For the hardware part you could just buy an armband for phones in amazon. But if youre sear hing for roms for your xperia x8 then ask in its development forum
i had the same idea and will buy a Alcatel Vodafone 541 (2,4"). not android
for testing i will strip it to only core apps.
daydream should be a good clock app. clean and good readable.
for remote accesing my phone i will use
Client: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=android.androidVNC
Server: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.onaips.vnc
With Android smart wear now out I'm hoping something like this can be possible. Anyone else know of any one working on anything like this or any apps that will allow smarty watch function's on an old phone
Maybe this is a Longshot, but hopefully someone sees this. I have an old bionic, it's got a great battery, perfect size, I'd like to know if there's any rom to make it a WearOS device, just bluetooth it to my vzw s9+ and make it fully functional as a watch, music player, and middle-man when I get texts and calls but don't have my actual phone within 10 feet of me. I know it's a weird request and setup, but I can't always have my phone on me, but the bionic is the perfect size for a wearable device.
where can I download Adroid 6 for my CuBot phone ?
What's your CUBOT phone's model?
thanks for the reply jwoegerbauer, its the Quest lite.......
Id even be happy to change phones to something like a redmi 9c or that price range to be able to run Android 6 for my apps and less intrusive/easyer operating system
This phablet runs Android 9 out of the box. Wondering why the need to downgrade it to Android 6?
Hint: Change this thread's title to Cubot Quest Lite - Downgrade to Android 6 thus mainly owners of such a phablet get addressed.
I feel I have less control here is a quick list before work:
Wifi turns itself on if close to strong signal
no details in call logs only days shown (cant change)
google stop my call recorder showing a number (i used heaps for work)
only two colours for background (black or white)
there is a favourite tab under contact not needed
there are more can list later........
