Hi there,
I currently own an HTC Desire Bravo and was thinking of upgrading to a china phone with a MTK6577 CPU. I haven't made up my mind which model in particular to purchase yet as I would like it to have some level of rom support in XDA. A while ago, I had bought a china tablet (P10AN01, also going by brand names: Advent Vega, Viewpad 10s) and chose this model *because* it had it's own section in the XDA forums. These china stuff is really amazing as if you choose carefully may land you a device rivaling it's more expensive branded phones at a fraction of the price.
I don't expect there will be a section for every variant of china phone as even searching for MTK6577 CPU based phones returns a myriad of phones with different specs.
I would basically like to know if it is possible to use ROMs designed from other popular (and supported on XDA) phones on a made in china phone... If so, how would i know which would work?
am I correct in assuming that a ROM for a supported phone with similar specs would likely work? for example, an HTC phone with MTK6577 CPU 1GB ram and 4GB rom would work on a china phone with MTK6577 CPU and 1GB ram and 4GB rom?
Many thanks in advance for your support

Dual sim.
Could anybody help me with rooting this phone please. i have had alook on the forums and it appears no one has one of these.
FYI a new version of this Phone is due for release towards the end of april.
it will have a 1.2GHZ processor dual sim and ICS
Try searching online. You probably won't have any luck posting here as probably no one owns those kind of knock off phones in this forum.
Out of curiosity though, did you know it was fake or did you buy it thinking that it was a Samsung galaxy note?

Rooting unofficial versions of the OS are tricky mainly when most knock offs don't really have the specs it says it does. And the OS is not one Google released
Try searching in russian forums like 4pda.ru & china-iphone.ru
it might help you.....
if you find an answer there post it here ...it will help others like you!!
Best of luck!!
Hi everyone!
Some time ago I bought my current device (SGs3 i9300) and unfortunately I discovered too late that the international version was absolutely not CM-fliendly because of the exynos cpu.
So now I'm selling it and I want to buy a device absolutely CM-compatible.
I have already identified 2 device within my budget that are officialy supported:
LG Optimus 4X HD
and
Sony Xperia T
What, in your opinion, is the best supported device?
If they are both perfectly supported, between them what's the best?
Is there another good phone in the same price range that i'm missing?
PS I live in europe so i need a device that I can find here.
Thank you to everyone!
Get a nexus device instead of either of those you mentioned.

Qualcomm processors is your best bet, no matter which phone... Just make sure it's a new one...
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has ever owned one of these versions of the i5 clone. Is it any good or should I stay away? I would buy a better mtk i5 but it seems like there isn't any other gold & white model available, at least none that I can find. I can't find any information on this i5. Is it possible to root? Are there any roms for this model? You basically can find one of these on youtube if you search gold iphone 5 replica. It also seems to be on 4.2.1, which isn't common on this model.
I have a Vertu Aster P Chinese clone, purchased from here https://www.luxuryvertu.cn/ProID473.html and since buying it, I've been desperate to try and update it from the Vertu-themed Android 6.0 Marshmallow that it came with.
They lie about the phone specs on their site that I got it from. It doesn't run Android 8.0 and it doesn't have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC .The genuine Vertu Aster P runs on Android 9.0 Pie, which is what this clone should have really come with, being a late 2019 phone and to stay true to the genuine Vertu. Trouble is, being a Chinese replica, and having an MTK SoC, there is no support for it. The manufacturers refuse to provide me with the kernel source code, so I'm at a dead end in terms of any Android development.
One thing I did notice is that the 'Device Info' app shows the device as being a 'gionee6755_66_m'. See the second attachment that I've uploaded. Does this mean anything to anyone? Is it the model of a specific Gionee handset? Could this be a clue as to what the Chinese clone makers based this phone off? If so, I do know of a few threads here and there on XDA related to Gionee development.
Also, in the third screenshot attachment that I've uploaded, you can see that the icons for data connection and aeroplane mode are rubbing up against each other, suggesting that someone has made a 'quick and dirty' fix to try and get both of the icons to fit the width of this phone's screen. Which also might suggest that this ROM was actually pulled from another device. Any thoughts?

Note that you on every Android device can fake its brand and/or model: you can even make it think to be an Apple iPhone 11 Pro. You also can fake its version of Android OS. What you can't (easily) change are descriptions of installed hardware components .
So one can't really say your device is a Vertu Aster P or Gionee6755_66_m or whatever.
What I think happened is that you got screwed.

I wasn't 'screwed' as such. That's a bit of a crass term. The device is of premium quality, feels as heavy as a genuine Vertu and really does look the part. And it performs perfectly fine on Android 6.0. The phone is fast and responsive and does whatever I need it to do.
That said, it wouldn't have caused them any more distress in putting Android 9.0 onto this phone. The MT6755 Helio P10 chipset that this clone has is more than capable of running 9.0. Why they didn't is a mystery to me.
Hello there,
Im using smart tv on android 4.4.4 but want to upgrade to 5.0.
