Its running Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread with 1GHz processor 256 ram and 512 Rom and has really decent smooth touch sensi on a 3.2' screen and awesome music quality as well! it may not be upto some people's standard but its definately a bargain in my point of view cuz ot its really low pirce!

hi i've got a samsung omnia hd i8910... i think that symbian sucks and i've seen that there are a lot of porting for other mobile phone. so i ask you: can you create a way to install wp7 or android on i8910? the hardware of this phone is not bad and now there is also the overclock made by HyperX (up to 900MHz) .. so, someone can try to find a way to upgrade this phone to a really OS ? sorry for my bad english.
please help us, we are a lot with this problem!
up... please help us!
up please... help
hello everybody!
i am an omnia hd's owner too!
i think this smartphone is superb!the only limit is the symbian 5th O.S. infact i'd like to know why samsung team put this instead of android and didn't released any important update.
if android porting isn't possible, anyway i hope symbian 3^.
thanks for any help in advance!
i've knew that in past the problem was the boot loader. but i've read also that it was unlocked.
so where is the problem now?
the cpu is the OMAP3430 so i think that there is no problem to a android porting because the motorola droid has it too...
or maybe a porting of the maemo os, infact n900 has a OMAP3430.
help us... we want that our phone rise again, because we paid it a lot not so time ago.. and it has a very good hardware...
AFAIK No one else on this forum has one and no one is going to buy one to dev for you unless you donate.
i will donate if you could find codec dark edition room for me
I have this now. Great phone. I still use it mostly for the speakers.
I would love to see Symbian 3 Belle on. It's near impossible I guess. I wish Samsung had not ditched dual speakers.
Samsung really bombed this phone. A little more wide spread release and support with update to later versions of Symbian and it would have been soooo much better.

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 !
Hi guys, I am Syed Ahsan Ali Gardazi from Pakistan. Heard of this site from a friend of mine he said you guys could help.
I am really new to this Android business, so I have a Galaxy s II, with Android 2.3.5 and its model is GT-I9100T. I wanted to know that should I upgrade my android software to 4.0 or ICS? Will the apps of later versions work on the current version. Is there any difference in power or RAM consumption? What is the most optimum Android software for GS II?? And it would really help to know some good apps for the device, useful apps not games and stuff (God knows I have enough of those ). In general I want to stay up with the world and I also want the optimum for my mobile but I don't wanna slow it down.
Please I am in dire need of help!!!!!!!!!!!:crying::crying::crying::crying:

You should see this post before updating:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1511578.html
I updated my GT-i9100 to ICS (ice cream sandwitch) a.k.a android 4.0.x a few days ago and all my apps remained intact. Still some of them did not work anymore. Like "loops". I tried to reinstall it and it said cannot install on usb drive or sd card. I found a simple solution googleing it. Just unmount the sd card and install the app, it will work, then you can mount the sd card back. It must be a 4.0.3 issue.
You could try flashing 4.0.4 or even jellybean 4.1. If you find it works for your model.
So i havent found any app that does not work on this new version. Except for iHelicopter which has a 1 second delay on sending the control commands to the helicopter, so i cant really use it anymore, but i guess its the developers fault.
About the performance... i would say that its a lot better. A game called crime city runs a lot smoother now for example.
You should try the go launcher ex, which i use, or maybe other launchers instead of the tw launcher.
Root your phone and install super manager and os monitor or some other app of this sort to see what really goes on in the backround like running services. That way you can uninstall apps or disable services that you dont need and uselessly consume power, then you will have a fair battery life. I only have ics for a few days now and i cant really compare the battery life yet, but i dont see any drastic change.
And about the ram: unused ram is wasted ram. If you exit apps they remain in ram in sleep mode they dont consume power, but on reopening they save some startup energy needed.
Other cool apps:
Hackers keyboard
Pudding camera
Android sensor box
Sensor music player
Flashlight
Google sky
Nasa

Thanks guys
Thanks alot guys you were great help specially you Frank, you sorted out all my problems so this morning I rooted my phone and installed android 4.0.3 on it and I love it. Its awesome. There was no differemce in the apps just the whole outlook changed. Loved almost all the apps you posted but i have a wee problem with the sensor music player: I type horizontaly and so all of a sudden music turns on. I saw that my RAM went from 250 mb to 330 when i am not using any stuff. Also I felt that the battery consumption only rose a bit. Thankn you guys you were real help. Cheers.

Hello, i have an atrix 4g, but i'm afraid of it because it can be defased. Because didn't have official update... Than, what do you guys think??
Sell it? Or invest in it? Because i really want another phone. But im not rich haha..
Thnks guys!
Getting a new android is always fun.

personnaly , i just buy a atrix : why .
because hardware/price is actually the best . i know that no new update coming soon from motorola but , the xda dev work hardly to create a good rom.
another thing, i haven't got any android but i think that with GB it will be sufficiant for me .. yes ICS / JB are pretty great but for me the ui is not important for me ...
the security is , so i will install avast when i got it to prevent virus and othe hole problem ...
for the rest it's pure commercial
If you can afford another phone right now then thats on u, otherwise atrix is good with decent hardware.:thumbup:

Hardware: excellent, gorilla glass, fast processor, 16gb, decent camera
Stock software: terrible and unstable
Gingerbread roms: awesome battery life and stability.
JB roms: good battery life, good stability, very pretty.

Hi, depending on your budget. |You could get a Smasung S2 or one of the Xamio M1 phones.
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.
