Hello guys!
Im new in XDA Forums.
Lately i bought an ALCATEL ONE TOUCH 992D. The stock android im using (4.0.4) is having much problems such as multi tasking and app state keeping. Its also slow and many applications wont work on it cause they need a newer version of android.
So i thought rooting would squeeze a bit more out of this low-mid range device. I searched allover the web for a full guide rooting and ROM installing but suddenly couldnt find a proper one. (i found only 2 guides in Russian and Serbian, languages which I dont understand)
SO if anyone can help me with a full guide for this unit it would be a life saver.
Ill be reading this thread 24/7. Help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
Hi,
my 7 days old lenovo vibe x s960 just got auto-upgraded to android version 4.4.2 (vibeui_v1.5_1416_3_st_s960).
the new rom dose not contains google apps at all. i've tried to install gApps via recovery, but found out to my horror that the recovery is in Chinese.
so now i'm stuck with no contacts,emails,calendar and what not, but i do have a very stupid smartphone.
as i see it, i have 2 options:
1) find a way to change the recovery to english, and head on from there, or
2) find a way to install google apps & services back to my current version, and carry on with my life
any help will be greatly appreciated !
thanks,
Nir

lenovo s960 rooting
Hi all. I have a lenovo vibex s960 and want to root through kingo root. What precautions I must take so that all works fine coz I saw in some posts that after rooting gapps don't work and phone does not function properly. Help me avoid this.
Hi Everyone,
I guess you can say that I am fairly new to Android, but not. Ive had a Samsung S3 for just about two years, but after taking a few drops... that phone is dust.
My GF bought me a Lenovo a766 online and it is a great device. Only issue I am having is -- the phone itself is in Chinese, but the language settings are in English, so I can navigate around the device.
What I am looking to do is:
I want to load on Stock Android... 4.4 (doesnt have to be 4.4, but anything 4+)- right now, this device is on 4.2. And this version doesnt have the Google PlayStore...
Could anyone lead me in the right direction...
I do have the Smart Phone Flash Tool... but I am not entirely sure where to get the actual android Rom...
Honestly I would appreciate any help and advice that anyone could give.
Thanks in advance!
Hey
I have recently bought a Lenovo A1000-F.
It runs Android 4.1.2.
I have hope it will be easy to install a 4.4 ROM, but I have not time to check it before I buy it because it was a Black Friday offer.
Now I have been looking around on Google and here but I can't find one.
I hope some here can help me - also with the installation because I new to this.
Thanks for your help
Sorry if there is some error in my text.
English is not my main language and I is also dyslexic
Hi all. First of all i would just like to say that i very much appreciate all you guys do here, helping us noobs flash, upgrade and unbrick our phones
I have a rebranded inew V7 phone called NOA H4 in my country. I'm pleased with the phone. It's nicely built, robust, has plenty of storage, dual sim, ... One thing i miss is the led notification. But i can live with that.
Recently i got fed up with it's software, Android 4.4.2 and i started to look how i can change it. I found some guides and tried but no luck. I was only lucky not to brick my phone
I have some questions:
1. Is it at all possible to flash this phone so it has Android 5 (or 6)??
2. Are the Android 5 roms i found on the web real Android 5 or a modified Android 4?
3. If 1. and 2. are yes, will this http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-how-to-port-lollipop-based-roms-t3223938 help me to do this by myself??
4. Is there someone who already did this and is willing to share :highfive: ( i found that some member "did this" but he has not given a link to download the rom thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/inew-v7-owners-thread-t3036891/page3)
Ty very much.
No one? :crying:
