Hi all,
I have a star a3 which I've had for about a week, I am having trouble getting market place to work and also getting rid of the chinese apps. I have read the threads and even posted in another thread but I have not got any help. I have rooted the phone but the qqmobile security is not allowing me full access to superuser and I cannot install apps. Does anyone maybe a back up of the original software but minus the chinese apps with market place ready to go. I'm on 2.3.5
Thanks in advance.

I don't have a copy of the ROM, but i can help you out with a copy of google play and root explorer. Using root explorer you should be able to delete the security app along with all the other Chinese applications (I do have a list of whats safe to delete too)
I bought 12 of these phones, from 2 different suppliers and none of them had this qqsecurity which you are talking about so I am not sure exactly what it does or how to get rid of it. But I can point you to a 2.3.5 ROM for the star A3 that is also minus all the crapware you don't need if you want to go down that route of re-flashing the whole phone.
I would like to have this ROM. How can I find it?

Hi, I live in China and recently bought a Galaxy S3 (China Unicom version). What I didnt expect is that none of the google apps or even Google play come pre-loaded. Itried installing them individually, but after intallation it doesnt open and just goes back to the homescreen. I am just not able to open any google related app even after idownload and install APK files. i ahve VPN and can access allsites, VPN won't solve the problem.
I went through some other posts and saw suggestions around rooting and installing custom roms. can someone give me some specifics please, maybe some links? THis is not about blocked access to google play, i just cant install it and get it working on my phone. I can't return it to the store (since theres no prob with it) and I don't even care about the warrantly anymore. I just want to ensure that if i root it and install something, it be the right one that doesnt clash with the version i have and doesnt brick my phone. Partiuclars below. could someone please please help?
I am desperate now! Samsung china apps are the worst!

Hi there from China..go to the stickies from this section..you will get all the information you require about rooting..then go to android development section and there you will get most of the roms you will need..now read the OP very carefully before flashing..all the instruction will be there in the op..most of the stock based roms have gapps included..for aosp/aokp Roms also flash the gapps package..

Yeah, they kinda suck ... except for their camera software ... It kind of rocks.
You will need to root and Rom your phone. There will be advice on how to root in the stickies as mentioned. I did it as a noob and found the task nerve-racking but in the end quite fun. I also cheated a bit and practiced on cracked open an old HTC desire and popped its cherry with Cynogen nightly. Anyway, once you root then you will be able to back up, although I don't know if there is any point to backing up instruction as your phone kinda sucks at the moment and I imagine you probably can't even get a back up app onto your phone.
This whole deal could take up a day of research and downloading and messing around. Be prepared to be without your phone for a day and to put in some time and effort - even if you are a genius, you'll have difficulty. Also, despite people saying doing it with a mac is easy - I found the opposite to be true and I use my mac waaaaaaaaaaay more than my pc. Set aside a Sat or Sunday to get lost in the world of Android. Hopefullly, it will only take you a short time, but just in case... Anyway, it is worth it.
I am using Omega ROM - you can find it in this forum somewhere. I love it - it has Google play App. I initially tried others but I found I missed the samsung camera software functionality too much.
I still need my foreign sim card for some apps and a vpn is useful too. but there is no way that I know of easily getting around the Chinese limitations... Unless you can read simplified Chinese well enough to use the Chinese versions of Google Play that must be plentiful.
Lastly, If you are a complete techno spaz. Scrap what I said, and just find a black market and get it rooted there. I don't know what it costs, but it should be cheap.
Good luck.

Oh and make sure your phone is compatible with the rom and directions ... mine was a GT-i9300 there are other models and apparently it makes a big difference. It should tell you in settings/about device/model number.
Hi have a vigo7 android 4.04 tablet and trying to root it no software works and google comes up with nothing i think it might be special to new zealand so no one in the world has rooted one need help i got it to browse net but is so damn slow unberable any help in advance thanks.
There is absolutely no info evan on vigo website vigo.co.nz pls help
You know, Id pove to know the same thing. My Vigo 7 factory resets when I boot up and I cant install apps or anything. If anyone out there can do it, it would be nice to hear from them.
Also the Vigo is just a knock off from a weird chinese brand but I can't remember which.
