Hi
I got a K-Touch W808. K-Touch is a major phone manufacturer in China. Unfortunately its ROM is completely customized and I even do not have Google Play Store. Is anybody know about this phone and if a compatible ROM exist?

TEGRA2 Cortex-A9 1GHz CPU
1 Gb RAM 8 Gb ROM
Micro HDMI
4.3-inch touchscreen 480*800

Note: I tried installing Play Store manually. I can start it but it crash when I press "Install". After an installation crash, Play Store crash at the start-up. If I erase the Data of the Play Store it runs again up to the Install point.

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.

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

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.

Pokemon GO requirements
Hi there,
i found this,
Supported devices
Android
Android 4.4 to Android 6.0.1
(Android N will not supported until the official Android release)
Preferred resolution of 720x1280 pixels (Not optimized for tablet)
Strong internet connection (Wi-Fi, 3G, or 4G)
GPS and Location Services
Intel CPUs are not supported
Source : "https://support.pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/hc/en-us/articles/221958248-Supported-devices"
Personaly i know that you need at least 2gb of RAM to run this app
Best regards
Well you are right about that, but im asking if there is a way to run it with low end phone with kitkat and maybe somehow reduce the ram usage so it can launch correctly not crash
EDIT: guys i actually found a good settings for gl tools to launch the game try you guys too, this may help the crash
P.S. idk xda app doesnt let me to upload screenshots so i will type all of this (oh boy this will be long :c)
Disable anti alliasing
Force 16 bit rendering
Optimize glsl shaders
Enable texture decompression-all
Enable texture recompression-all
Downscale textures-0.5x
Enable simple mapbuffer emulation
Enable use packed stencil buffer
Enable fix fbo attachment sizes
Enable decode sRGB
Enable Lower depth buffer size limits
Thats it! You can thank me later and tell if you still have problems
I again forgot to mention, dont worry about the long loading and it might crash the first time like i got when i tried to enable gps, but i rebooted the phone and wolla!
Doesnt recompression actually take more CPU? Because it has to compress graphics.
Might be better for RAM but worse for CPU.
Please correct me.
Well yes and no. You see pokemon go has a big requirement to run the game, and you also need more ram to just open the game. So the only option here is to use the recompression that will free more ram to launch the game, but the only thing i need to solve is how to fix the lag for now :/
Ok, so I am quite new to these cheap Android TV boxes, so far its doing really well. I have changed the home screen to TVLauncher and removed all the bloatware apps which came with the device.
However I am wondering if there is a better Android build I could install, one which knows I am not able to use touch at all and I am just using a remote (although one with a touchpad and keyboard on it). Most things work fine, however anything which requires touch (for scrolling etc) is a pain to use.
The box I have is; Coolead CQ9
I am unable to post the Amazon link due to being new, but a simple search should return the product
Specifications:
OS: Android 5.1
CPU :Amlogic S905 Quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 up to 2GHz
GPU: Penta-Core [email protected]+
FLASH: 8GB NAND FLASH
SDRAM: 1GB DDR3
Does anyone have any suggestions to modding the boxes version of Android to make it all work a little nicer, or if possible an alternative version of Android which will work on this box? I believe the parts inside the box are basically the same as the thousands of other boxes going by different names which seem to be identical.. So I guess this means the hardware itself is rather generic.
If the answer is a simple no, I am tempted to build my own to see if I had more freedom with it? Ideally I would want to build a box capable of running Android rather than Linux, so I have more options of Apps.

Hello, I have bought TV Box from China,
Model Vontar X3 Amlogic S905SX3 4GB/64GB Android 9.0.
I have a few problems with this TV Box:
1. I cant install any apps from Google Play Store. I dont know why...
2. There is problem with overheating.
3. Software installed in tv box comes from 2018 year. There is newer version on local disc. Should I update to new version?
I hope that someone help me
Regards
Hi, you may need to update google play services and the play store, you can find the apks on apk mirror,
What are your overheating symptoms and temps?
Where did you obtain this updated firmware, issue being sometimes these devices are clones and dont work properly so there is always a small risk when installing a firmware, I would reccomend using a usb A male to male cable & usb burning tool and read about Mask Rom Mode as this makes these devices recoverable from a bad firmware or flash, means you can try custom roms for S905X3 too, often the aweful factory firmware is aweful, I have my own android 6 s905x box running the official Android 9 Mi Box Firmware (with my modifications) and it makes these devices very usable, performs like a proper mi box, no lags ect, point is firmware can make a world of a diffrence

As my threads, topics etc here are unreachable for the moment (due to the forum changes) please go here to see about the playstore problem (Note2 of 1st page): https://forum.freaktab.com/forum/tv...-transpeed-x3-air-bqeel-y8-max-amlogic-s905x3
For the overheating just place your box above a USB fan base. That is what I use for all my TVboxes and I get a temperature 10-15 degrees Celcius lower, which is more than enough. You can make it by yourself or buy a ready made.
Installing also a custom rom will give you "another" box (meaning with more capabilities).
Have a look at my custom rom, especially if you need a preinstalled Magisk and TWRP.

Hello, I ve found solution for overheating problem: Its Vontar C1 cooler. I get a temperature 20-25 degrees lower. It should be enough.
How to update google play services and play store in Vontar X3?
I can make update here: Settings -> System Update. I have XR1.180610.011_release_keys(20200822_0033). X - I dont know what sign is before R.
And there is another problem: some channels in smart TV are in 16:9 forrmat. In Vontar the same channels are in 4:3 format.
And frame is cut on the left and right. So for example, number 123 - I see only 23. Just like XR1.

Probably you didn't read my note 2.
Install the latest app of Playstore from apkpure https://m.apkpure.com/google-play-store/com.android.vending
Reboot and try again.
Also try in addition this : Playstore-Settings-version number and click upon the version number 7-8 times. You will become a developer and probably get even newer updates.
You may have to reboot again and click once more upon the version number!!!!
As far as your mother I have ginen one to my mother (she is 87 years old !!). Having Launcher Square Home she is happy/and easy to use !!!

First of all look at Settings-Device Preferences-Screen and look/change what it is in "Screen Resolution" "Screen Position" (you can make smaller/larger the image shown).
Also you may have to alter something in your TV preferences.

Thank you for solving problem with Play Store. Works great and perfectly.
About screen - I dont have "Sceen" option. The only option with screen in the name is " Screen Saver"
Anyway. Thanks again.

Hello, I think that you must update your play store, it happens a lot when Chinese dud taps a standard google android system. It's outdated and reconfigured for first use. Chinese craps. One thing you need to do is update play store as a .apk . Download it on your PC and put in SD CARD or direct with USB cable and transfer and install in device. Restart system and you should have a updated play store and no limitations.
I know this is a month old topic but maybe it will help others.
