Thanks again aleks!
Haven't come across any yet.

This is really a great device. Amazing price-quality ratio. I just bought one as a second phone and I'm very happy with it.
Performance is comparable to Samsung Galaxy S+ but with a nice 4.3 screen.
And Alcatel has promised an ICS update so fingers crossed.
@ whigga: yeah, it's really a great device with such cheap price. it's a steal!
hopefully devs can look into this phone. it's something like LG Optimus X2 of some sort.
Available here now for $280
I really like the 4.3" over my 4.1" phones,
Strange they made no 850MHz 3G units for countries that have the stronger frequency like Australia, USA, Thailand, China etc... for those that dont know 850MHz can penetrate into buildings to allow better indoor reception.
Just like to bump this thread. Any update of development?
Heey guys!
I just bought this phone 2 days ago, after my Galaxy Gio died 1,5 week ago.
I'm very happy to hear there are more satisfied users of the OT-995 who want a custom rom and XDA thread
Let's hope a good developer will also get this beautifull device!
By the way: does someone know a good way to root the Alcatel OT-995?
@ markvann: that remains the question. I still got an unrooted OT-995. tried those rooting procs, nothing works atm.

Hello Petalotis!
I just looked, and it seems there is not 512mb ram. It's exactly the same as it is with Xperia Neo V I guess, because my telephone says there's something like 370 mb ram. Normally I'm a heavy device user (except for my last one, the Galaxy Gio), but I have to say this smartphone can handle all the apps I want. I'm really happy with it, and on Quadrant Standard benchmark it even scores better than Galaxy Nexus (and on Antutu they have around the same amount of points). So I hope you don't get fooled by the 'not-so-high' amount of ram, and that you can participate in searching for OT-995 root methodes and ROMs!

I want to buy a new Android phone and this one catch my attention, i have a ZTE Blade and want to upgrade .
The launch of this phone in my country (Portugal) will be in 7 of May with the name of "Optimus Madrid" and the price maybe would be €229,90, i was searching here if anyone begun to developing custom roms to him, will be an asset.
+1 for development of this device
also I would ask the people who bought this device if they try to connect mouse or keyboard in mini usb gate ?
already seen a guide to do this in galaxy s (in this forum). Hub must accept external power because there isnt enough power in mini usb
is it possible that this works ? can you try to connect keyboard and mouse in hub or a usb flash
i would appreciate that
thank you very much
I also have the alcatel ot-995.
I''ve tried things like superonclick and z4root.
Is there any possible way to root my phone or do I just have to wait for a new rooting way.
Hello! I just bought is phone people , has as nice price!!!
And I hope someone considering spend some time to make the root possible!!

Just like to bump on this thread again.
To Devs: Hopefully someone out there who has the heart to develop a ROM for this nice phone would be love by all who bought this amazing price-to-performance phone.

This phone is perfectly capable of making 3g video calls. At least it works in Holland, where I live. Do realize that this functionality also depends on your network provider if they allow it.

Yeah, you're right! Software implementation is defenitely not as good as the hardware should allow it to be. Processor and ram are more than capable, but still there is lag where similar speced phones have none. Hopefully the promised ICS upgrade will fix this or otherwise hoping for some good 'ol custom rom development.
OT995 Potentials
I'm a freak of speed for low cost and the alcatel OT995 will definetly be
my next one!
Hopefully does developers see the potentials of this low budget device,
and make a masterpiece ready to challenge with high-end non-price-quality
phones!
I keep fingers crossed, once a project gets started, I buy one !
Hello guys just one question: I'd like to buy the RAZR MAXX but I can't understand one little thing. Which roms can I use? It's the same if I choose a "RAZR" rom? Does even exist a "MAXX" specific one?
I saw that MIUI is going to support the XT910 (which should be the RAZR)... will it be compatible with the "MAXX" one?
Thanks!

The MAXX uses the same ROMs as the regular RAZR.
Hi guys
I currently have a SGSII t989 and I love it except for little things I noticed, one is this behaviour [1], I'm planning selling it to buy another cellphone with similar specs. What I'm looking for is:
- 1.2 GHz processor or more
- 1GB RAM
- TV output (via MHL or dedicated port)
- [Desireable] Removable battery (I know Droid Razr doesn't have it)
- MicroSD slot
- Screen range: 4.3" - 4.5"
- Good ROM's support
- Price range: US 250 - US 300
I'm considering buy one between Motorola Droid Razr, SGSII i777 (AT&T's) and HTC Rezound and want to know your thoughts being Droid Razr owners. I have some questions for you:
- Is this device bootloader locked? (I had a Defy and it had that issue)
- Is the non-removable battery an issue for you?
- Have you tried GTA Vice City? In my T989 it doesn't work apparently because of processor-chipset combination. I want to use the most of games that the device can support and this is one of my favorites games
- Will you recommend this phone?
- If you use CM 10.1, does HDMI out working?
Thanks in advance

- BL was locked,but no need to worried about that.
- Not an issue actually,if you buy a RAZR MAXX,you can use for more than 4 days with D-WIZ ROM.
- Almost every game works.I tried GTA,Real Race,MASS EFFECT,Tample run,doodle jump,Angry brids,Fruit ninjia,they all works perfectly.
- It's a great phone.
- HDMI seems not working with CM10.1,but you can use both STOCK SYSTEM and CM10.1.No need to be worried.

Hi 我顶你个肺隔膜,
i have even the opportunity to by an razr droid.
Actually i use my HD2 since 4 years nearly. There was a very huge dev community. And i got everything to configure.
Now my question:
Is there a rom without the motorola implemented stuff, like a pure android rom without modifications of motorola, which runs stable?
(On HD2 i had 100s roms but only some roms worked without problems and with all functions and features.)
Go for iut

For the specs you need. I'd suggest it a go..You can buy it and won't face a problem.
As for your questions,
Yes.! The BL is locked but that ain't an issue for me.
Non-removable battery doesn't cause any problems.
Yes.! And it works..so does most of the games.
Already answered.
CM 10.1 is in development state right now so many things might not work. You gotta wait for a stable build.

Hey Guys, not to thread-jack, but I've also been considering the Droid RAZR and, like OP, had some questions so I thought I'd just post them here.
I was wondering if there are any general hardware problems with the phone. For example, I used to have the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant, and it had a hardware bug where the GPS basically never got a solid lock, I also had a Motorola Defy, and I heard some people had problems with the earpiece sound quality, although mine didn't have that problem. So I guess my question is, are there any flaws in the design of the phone that can't be fixed by software?
Also, how do AOSP-based ROMs run on it? I saw that CM10.1 has a couple bugs, of which the random reboots is the only one that worries me (though I'm sure the devs are hard at work on it!) but is there another version of CM, like CM10 (ICS) that runs better? Are the reboots actually often?
Finally, is anyone here using the XT910 on AT&T? if so, is it detected by AT&T's system as a smartphone? I'm using a Lumia 710 right now that doesn't get detected, so I'm not being forced into getting a data plan, and I'd like to stay that way .
Thanks a lot in advance!, and sorry for the noobish questions, I'm still relatively new to the Motorola scene.
PS: Is there any reason why I shouldn't consider the RAZR? I'm just trying to get the best bang-for-buck that works with AT&T 3G without requiring a data plan, so top-notch performance isn't really my goal.
phantomsniper773, your questions are more than welcome in this thread, it can help me too for choose my next cellphone (already sold the S2 Hercules). Right now I'm thinking more in HTC Rezound that in Razr because of few reviews and the battery thing, I think that eventually in some time (1-2 years) the battery become useless and there will be no replace (worst scenario) and I'll have to sell the phone for a very low price

Ah, well I can't speak for the Rezound myself, but a friend of mine had it and hated it (he exchanged it for a Galaxy Nexus). He said it had really choppy performance and felt too bloated, even with a Custom Sense-based ROM. Of course, this was before they had S-OFF and AOSP ROMs, so I'm sure a lot has changed since then. I just thought I'd mention it.
Hello,
first at all, I'm sorry if my English is bad, I'll try to be clear as possible.
So, I do this thread because I'm a bit confused, I have a HTC Desire 620 since 2 month and I'm really surprised because it seems that nobody is working on it. This phone has pretty decent specs (5" 720p S-LCD screen, Quadcore 1,2Ghz, 1Gb Ram, 8Gb ROM) and you can found it in my country, France, for only 1€.
So I have some questions :
Why is this phone so unpopular ?
Is there a way to root it ?
Do you know if someone will port Cyanogenmod on this phone ? :highfive: This might be cool.
From my opinion, this phone deserves more support from the community !
Thanks in advance for your answers, cordially.
Why someone has bad rated this topic?
I'm just asking some questions, this device would be perfect with Cyanogenmod.
A31ul Patrik.k serch tread . its good and all u need
I know it's all suppositions for now and nothing has been announced or can be confirmed but following Sony's support for its previous tablets, do you think the Z3 Tablet will get N ? I just bought one and although I already prepared myself to accept the fact that if N does reach the device, it will probably be its last major update, I could reconsider my purchase if you guys say "no way, period". It'd be a pity to miss the long awaited multi-windows update...
Thanks !
Not likely. With the impending release of the X series, our Z3TCs are now 4 generations old.
Considering these bad boys launched with JELLY BEAN (!!!) we're damn lucky to have marshmallow.

I wouldn't be so pessimistic. Xperia Z3 currently running as testing platform for N Developer Preview, most like it will receive N-update in the aftermath. And Z3 Tablet is younger than it's phone counterpart.
And we still have Z2-series, which are still receiving updates. And I highly doubt that Sony will simultaneously cut two generations of Z devices from updates
Yes, actually i'm 99% sure we will get it:
- Sony releases a line each 6 months so the X series doesn't make us "4 generations old"
- There is a N preview for the Z3 series, so they are working on android N for the Z3 (if not they would have released the preview for the Z5 or the X)
- If the Z3 recieves android N then we should get it too, because our tablet is from the Z3 line with the same processor very similar hardware and actually newer than the Z3 phones
- The Z1 got Lollipop but not Marhsmallow, the Z2 got Marshmallow (and it's very unlikely they get android N) so the Z3 it's going to stop in Android N.
The thing i don't have hope is for Android M
it's difficult to say that the tablet will get "N", but if the tablet get it, will be in 2017. only we have to wait..
Sorry for my english.
We certainly have the horsepower, but perhaps not the user base to justify it? So, let's yell real loud!
I would be sad if we don't official get N simply because the custom development of this device on XDA is one of the worst I've ever encountered. I noticed that this beautiful powerful device is really underrated in the Android community. Currently, even though several regions have already released Marshmallow for this device, nobody knows a reliable way to root it, nor can anybody confirm that it is successfully rooted on 6.0.1.
Furthermore, since NUTs XZDualRecovery development has stalled completely, I really don't know how long a bootloader locked root method will stay alive. On YouTube most of the videos of this tablet is about the unboxing after the release but that's all. I really like this tablet and it has received good reviews, but the popularity is pretty much non existent which I find it strange.

I agree the development for this tablet is almost nonexistent, but you can have root on android M, you just need to flash 5.1 root with kingroot, install XZDualRecovery, flash prerooted zip of android M and done.
I really hope there will be an update to N. As of now, my tablet is completely stock and I hope to keep it that way. Just easier.

Sony already confirmed Android N for this tablet.
