So I bought a Velocity Cruz T410 because it was cheap and did what I needed at the time. But now that I don't really need it for work, I want to do more with it.
Does anybody know how I could go about creating/finding a custom ROM for it? I've spent the last week or so searching Google and other forums for this information but I haven't found anything yet.
Velocity Micro Customer Service has told me that this device is capable of running ICS but they aren't planning on updating it that far. I'd really like to try developing ROMs and such for this device but don't really know where to start.

Hi!
I have the T408 and has been checking the Internet for about two months for a custom ROM. Please let me know if you do find a custom ROM for your device & I'll do the same for you if I find one for mine as I believe the software would work for both.
Now, let me tell you what I learned so far:
Rooting the device is the first step you have to do.If you haven't done it, check what rooting means at this link (I'm not allowed to post the full links as I'm new to the website)
info.org/root.html
To root the Cruz,check these links: androidforums.com/velocity-micro-cruz-tablet-t408/439932-easy-way-root-velocity-cruz-tablet-t408.html
& youtube.com/watch?v=8envovRmNCw
I used the 2nd one with success & installed the recommended apps.
To install the Android market, check these links: senk9.wordpress.com/2010/12/03/how-to-install-google-apps-gapps-on-your-android-device-phone/
& youtube.com/watch?v=JM_D1YwGtbk
Hope this helps. Don't forget to tell me if you find the Custom ROM!.
Dead thread?
I have a T410 and have been rooted for some time now. I search often for custom ROMs and other tweaks for the tablet but have come up empty handed. Is this another dead T410 thread?

Pretty much
I'm struggling to find a good website that has a listing of all roms available for each android device. I have found theunlockr.com, but it doesn't even have the ROM i'm currently using!
Does what I'm looking for exist?
Thanks,
Simple answer is no there is no such site. Mainly due to the nature of custom roms. They change sometimes many times a day and just downloading and installing a ROM without doing the proper research is just stupid.

Hi guys, I've purchased a used Gsmart TUKU 2 and am having big problems with it. It has quite impressive specs for a very low price, so I was hoping to get a bargain, but oh was I mistaken. The phone either has too little memory (512mb apparently is not enough for this one), or the ROM is tragically badly optimized. I runs Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich (Kernel 3.0.21-perf; Build number: [email protected]) and it lags ALL the time. When a dual core machine lags on the home screen, something's wrong. I am trying to find a rooting/flashing guide for this phone, so I can try some better optimized ROMs on this to see, if I can improve responsiveness. I had big success doing this on my old HTC Dream (G1) when I installed a higher version (Froyo), so I'm hoping something like this will be possible here too, with an upgraded version like Jelly Bean, or KitKat.
The problem is I cannot find a single guide aimed at this particular phone and I can't find any suitable ROMs either. So please, mighty warriors of XDA-DEV, if anyone would know anything about this, have any relevant links or information, I would appreciate it dearly. This phone is supposed to be a present for my dad, as he needs a new one and I'm hoping to get it to work nicely within the next three weeks, so I can give it to him already optimized. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
So I have found something, but I'm not sure, whether it's the right thing I found this website: http://proshivku.ru/gigabyte/gigabyte-gsmart-tuku-t2-black-detail that seems to offer various ROM versions for many phones. It does list Jelly Bean and KitKat and it appears to have them available for the T2 as well. But I'm not sure, whether this is just a generic version, or one optimized for the particular phones. As well, while I can translate the website from russian, I don't understand the video on it, so I don't know, whether it needs to be rooted/downgraded first or not and so on. Anyone able to provide some more info on this?
So I'm getting back to looking for stuff to do with the Tuku T2. Found mentions of other usable roms, like the Cherry MIUI or the J77 MIUI, but can't find ANY working download links. Has anyone seen a working link for any rom for this phone?
Ok, so I have finally been able to find som custom roms for the TUKU T2
Hi guys. I have finally, after hours and hours of sifting through forums, found what I was looking for. I found actually many viable custom roms for the Gsmart Tuku T2. Found them on a russian Forum called "4PDA.ru". It is in russian of course, so your best bet is to use Chrome browser and have it translated in english. It won't translate all, but enough to find and download all that you need. Right the first post in the topic has the whole list. There are many versions plus a generic one. I have downloaded a few and will be testing them gradually. The link is here: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=471828 Right now I'm using the LolliMod_V2 with the update provided to 2.1. It is one of the first in the list and I have to say it works marvelously. I already have had root, done by framaroot and I'm using CWM recovery 6.0.1.2 I think. I did have problems using the SD card to flash as it can't mount, but from what I saw it seems it's because it's a small SD card. So I just simply copied the zip file to the internal storage and selected install zip from internal storage instead from sd card in the cwm recovery. Same way, after install, restarted phone, then again into recovery, installed the update to 2.1.
As said, it works perfectly, none of the freezing or slowdown happening, that was constant with the stock rom. The LolliMod is I think android 4.4.2, which is fine, as the stock was 4.0.4. It provides some nice options, a lot more settings, far better graphics and so on. I have noticed a few hickups, like the Volumes settings in the sound settings won't show and the settings will close, but you can still set the volume for everything otherwise. It's a brilliant rom.
So anyway, if you are looking for ROMS for the TUKU T2, definitely have a look at that site. If you'll have problems with it, let me know, I can reupload some that I have already downloaded to some file sharing site...
As always, all credits go to the creators of these roms, none are mine, but as I don't speak russinan, I can't tell it to them personally. Take care.
Hi there,
I have a Mobistel Cynus F3 with android 4.2.2 and I would like to find a custom rom and/or a way to update my smartphone.
I'm using liquid E2 port found on a German forum. Unfortunately it doesn't work wery well. It keeps "flashing" the initial screen even if the RAM seems constant (67%). This does occur when trying to play, using the magnifier 3-clicks or just browing the web. So i assume it's not a RAM issue.
Back to my request: I would like to know if it's possible to port cyanogenmod (or another custom ROM) on my phome OR what ROM I can use with mtk6577 or, again, how can I found a decent alternative to liquid. I'm pretty new to this world, but probably CPU is the first thing to check when looking for a mod, isn't it?
I read different users in different forums trying to figure it out, but their topic are dead. I'm tring to find the answers by myself, but it's very difficult.
Thanks for the help
Hey,
So I was recently thinking of upgrading my phones android, since its only a ****ty 4.2, but I've been running into some problems having never done this before, let me be as quick and concise as possible.
Phone: Its an Evolio x6, I cant post external links yet, but its a 5.5inch, 2gb RAM, 1.7ghz octa-core processor thingy, made by a romanian company so thats why its pretty rare to see anyone using it.
I'm trying to upgrade it to something around an android 5, but anything above 4.4 would work, my problems are:
1. Is any ROM gonna work? Does the ROM have to be compatible with the screensize/hardware? From what I've seen specific phones have specific ROMs they can use, but since barely anyone has this phone I cant really find anything online.
2. If I install some non-functional ROM, can I recover the old OS? Since I cant find the factory ROM anywhere on the internet.
3. I've seen quite a few guides, but most of them mention "google a good ROM for your phone", are there any ROMs that you guys think might work for mine?
4. When I go into recovery mode I dont have any Nandroid options/backups, is there another way to backup everything on the phone?
Thanks for your time, sorry for bothering you guys, and have a great day ^.^
