can some developer to port a rom jelly beans to Newman n2? it have the same SoC Exynos 4412. Is sufficient for porting?
Newman N2 sounds like some cheap Chinese knock-off. Doubt anyone would want to port to that, even though it may be possible.

The same capabilities of the galaxy s3, rather something more but much cheaper. I bought it from http://android-sale.com/newman-n2.html.
See the specs.
Please help!

Seems the only thing that differentiates this from the GS3 is that the Newman has a better camera. Porting would be possible, I think, but the problem would be getting the camera to run as the GS3 "only" has an 8MP one.

Freelander i20
Mine arriwed. Not N2 but Freelander I20. Same except the name. I love it. And I'm hope it will be possible to port. I'll post a little review tomorrow.
Newman N2
I have just ordered the Newman N2, and I hope to see a custom rom in the near future (preferably based on CM10 or CM10.1, or even AOSP or AOKP)... I have not developed or modified any ROM so far (although I'm using Disarmed Toaster on my HTC Evo 3D), but I know my way about programming on a PC and in Linux. So I might be of some help in the process...

:good:
I'm still waiting
Freelander I20
Ok. Maybe if some of you interested in a little review. I'm share my experiences. First, sorry for my english.
Hardware
I'm pleasantly suprised. The assemblage is very good. No crakckilngs. The buttons are good. The backshell is simple plastic, but it's a little rugged, so has better hold, not so floppy. The black is normal, but the yellow is all-gloss-plastic, I like it.
There is a little glitch in my case, over the resistive buttons a little light-leak visible on dark screens. It is still reasonable. I don't know is any way to swith this button light on-off, but I will looking around.
The camera making good photos, but the burst mode is a little slow. Maybe the memory access is not the best. I'm hope it will be fixed in the next FW. The speaker sounds good and clear.
It doesn't recognised my CL10 ADATA SD formatted NTFS, but working well formatted FAT32, I think it will be fixing also in the future, and maybe no problems with slower class NTFS formatted cards.
The display is superb. Good colors, and viewing angle. I had a super amoled Samsung before, so I think I say it without fear or favour.
The WIFI is fast as it can be. And the BT also working fine. I will test GPS later.
Software
The phone started on my mother language, thanks Pandawill. Isn't installed any needless chinase program, but comes with Play Store. Untill this time been able to install any programs I want. It isn't rooted. I'm hope the devoted community will do it fast.
Antutu v3 scores 12700, not the best, but I don't care still all the games going without lag. (Updated: dunno why, but after a restart it scored 14900) Eternity Warriors 2, Zenonia 5, Crazy Fist2 goes well. Asphalt 7 has a small lag, but don't know whats normal, it doesn't work on my tablet. Pinball Arcade goes fine but Zen pinball has lag just like on my dual core tab with same gpu. Trial xtreme 3 goes fine.
I will test more games later. Another apps. What I'm using installed. TFS Shell goes like a charm. Youtube, Facebook OK. All tool working in Smart Tools.
If you have any questions, let me know.
PS: I'm still very happy with this phone.

I have a Freelander I-20, just arrived today and have been messing around with it. I had tried to cancel the order but as often seems to happen with Chinese retailers, they ignored my emails and sent it anyway!
I'm quite impressed with the screen, very bright and good viewing angles. Reception with Three UK has been a bit spotty but I'm in a bad area and so needs more testing. GPS took a good few minutes to lock during a quick test.
Number one problem I've noticed is the lack of full G-apps. It has Play, so gmail etc... can be installed, but there is no initial android/google set-up and no way to sync contacts (even from settings and accounts). There's a French forum with quite a few people who have received this phone and they are all reporting the same. I noticed a link on that forum to XDA and a tool for rooting phones that use the Exynos4 processor, and I can confirm that it works with the I-20.
Using that I was then able to install Titanium Backup and restore google contacts sync and gtalk from a backup saved from my previous phone (Huawei G300). So now I have my contacts back and also gtalk so the biggest problem for me was resolved quite quickly.
Sorry for the noob question but which is the best forum for creating a dedicated post for this phone?
working fine! and the camera also working, so we love Chainfire! :laugh: rooted in 1 min, lool
I don't know what is the best place to create a dedicated post, maybe this forum?
btw as I see, Newman has better support and big community (check this, already got 8 patch? http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kw=%C5%A6%C2%FCn2), maybe later we can use Newman FW on our device
Latest Newman N2 update, dated 2013.01.12
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=190860&uk=1143976775
Thanks Kacerolo, from HTCMania, already flashed Newman FW on Freelander I20, working fine. I'm waiting how-to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6ocJeUe0dc
Don't you know guys, is it OK if I'm start the phone in recovery mode and flash simple the FW from the extSD?
And some nice infos about the phones, thanks Lares
01.11 Newman started sales of N2, and all phones have been sold for three and a half minutes. The next batch is planned for January 18.
All phones are tested by robots from the future and stationery clamps.
Package Contents is different in that N2 has the micro-sim adapter and cutter, and I20 has second yellow back cover
The phone has the Sony Exmor RS camera with a back-illuminated sensor.
The phone has a touch screen and display are produced by OGS (one glass solution) technology.
The phone has the Corning Gorilla Glass 2 protective glass and ten finger multitouch.
The phone has a dual cooling, namely graphite and aluminum-magnesium plates somewhere inside.
The phone has a second microphone for noise reduction during the conversation, and used NICAM audio compression technology.
Proof for five previous facts about this phone is here .
The screen in the phone is produced by LG Display. It is 7.5-generation LCD IPS, that is exactly the same as in LG flagships.
Despite some unresolved issues with the camera, Newman is very proud of it, and its further optimization in priority.
In a short time Newman promises release version firmware. Unofficial firmwares and firmware porting welcomed by Newman.
Something else:
The phone has not OTG.
The phone has not MHL.
3.5 mm jack corresponds to the CTIA international standard. Old headsets with OMTP standart will not work properly.

Newman N2 vs. FreeLander i20
Interesting results , as the Newman N2 and FreeLander i20 are said to be internally the same. Then what's the reason for ~10% difference in the results? A bit worse software in the i20? Or some kind of cheating?
When I get my N2, I'll run the AnTuTu benchmark too... can someone with i20 post his/her results too?
Jiri
Don't know why. First time I'm tested antutu, got 12xxx points, but after a restart, got 14900. Btw the 00.22 Newman FW on my Freelander! Just need to fix PlayStore. Still searching.

Owners were some problems with the 3D benchmarks, but only with benchmarks. According to them, the actual performance does not suffer. In the latest firmware Newman repaired the compatibility with some applications. I think this just affects the results. Freelander is so slow with updates, but Newman makes new f/w twice a week.
hey guys i need some info before buying the
canvas 2
is it having good sound quality i.e. speaker and
voice quality over 2G & 3G
what about the 8 MP camera i know it wont give
that awsome quality but is it equal to 5 MP xpera
sola 720p????
Can it run HD games
Does it give the dual core performence or its just
a trash.
Guys i have to collect money for buying this
device and i would like to know about this
device....
Speaker voice quality has been above par for Micromax phones! No need to worry about tha! 8 MP cam will be pretty decent considering it is a Low-mid range phone. It definitely can run all the HD games available in the market. It is a quad core phone, so the performance will be pretty good. All these things i said based on using previous micromax products. But the only thing that doesn't want to make me buy Mircromax, karbonn etc is they have no xda forum support which is kinda sad given that many developers are from INDIA! Currently i won an XS and i'm pretty happy with it. Will buy this phone for my mum!
Morning all,
I was wondering if anybody can help.
I'm looking to purchase a HTC Desire X or maybe even a One X. More likely the Desire as that is more within my budget. I've read good reviews about both phones, android capability is what I'm looking for and they look good. The only thing which is putting me off the Desire is the 4 GB of memory. I understand you can store extra data on an external card which the phone has a slot provided. However, I was wondering whether this is a hindrance at all. For example, moving stuff to memory card, is it easy etc
Phone use will be mainly for Camera, some internet browsing, e-mail, GPS & hopefully google nav if I can get/or download onto the phone.
Many thanks in advance.
Pedro
For your use ..desire x is good..moving data is easy n you will have good full sense Rom with file manager n more access by ckpv5 and others...you will get good battery too..but I would really suggest you to get a s3...as gaming and screen quality is what attracts more after getting an android...I got an s3..+ it has lot more memory and functions you may like...+ GPS is better and also 3g n WiFi speeds..as I tested by myself..so you can start saving money ..
Hi Hulk.
Thanks for the advice and information. It is very much appreciated. Your not the first to mention the S3 to me so will be looking at those as well now.

Pedro. HTC Desire X is a nice performer for its price tag. But it has, in my opinion, 2 main disadvantages: bad quality pictures (compared to competition) and lack of front camera (for video chat or auto-portrait pics).
In the same price range and size, a SGSIII mini is a good choice nowadays (under 300 euros).
HTC One X and SGSIII are bigger and more powerfull phones with great specs (over 400 euros).

Hi Pedro,
I went with the Desire X for budget reasons as it was on offer during the New Year's sales and I like HTC's designs. I thought I'd get a fairly basic phone with many limitations. I couldn't have been more wrong. The phone is very good considering the price. Sure it doesn't have a powerful processor or super duper specs, but I found it to be surprisingly adept at handling anything I throw at it. It might not be able to play some of the higher end games (there's a thread in the forums detailing people's success with those), but it's more than adequate for all-purpose smartphone use including the sort of things you mention.
ROM development for the phone is still in its infancy, but there are already some great ROMs to choose from. And moving things to the SD card is trivial. You can also get a utility app like App2SD to inform you whenever you install an app to move it to the SD. Android's 'Move to Storage' feature makes it super easy.

Sorry. But my older Samsung Galaxy S (released in 2010) take better pictures, specially video recording.
I don´t know about Xperia Sola, U, etc... but I was expecting much better pictures than a 3 year old smartphone (SGS).
However, I´m still happy with the Desire X cause is fast, nice looking and very handy with a 4 inch screen.
HTC desire x has da best 5mp camera so far...I have shot most insane piks...burst mode..is damn awesome...one thing everybody forgets to mention is da sound quality....the beats audio which u won't even get in Samsung s3...sound matches..well it outruns actually to dat of apple...desire x won't let u down u can definitely go for it

Well if I do so ..will HTC kill me or you ...huh ..I don't care..btw my friend I didnt lol at desire x..its one of best in midrange
I sometimes hate this type of question no offense.
I assumed you have the budget? So if you have the budget to buy one x, then duhhhhh go for it. its obviously has better specs. There's no point to check on a midrange smartphones like desire x over high end devices if you have $$$. When in the end you will say "I'm regret buying this midrange device I should have gone for one x ohemg I'm stupid blablabla."
Add: to answer your questions, trust me 4gb of internal memory are more than enough to store apps and games (1gb to be precise for free use). I have 40 games and over 20 daily apps and I still got 340.18mb of internal storage and I haven't move a single of apps and games yet to my sdcard not even once.
If you're that worried you gonna run out of space which I doubt on desire x. Check out link2sd. Seriously guys check it out. It's somewhere here on xda and google play.
Oh btw, as much as I love HTC now I suggest you go for the S3 instead of one x. One x has A LOT of battery complains than S3.

I'm very happy with my Desire X, especially with a custom ROM installed. Plenty of memory left, no problems for me at all. Also the size and thickness of the phone is imo perfect.
I don't use a front camera, so I won't miss one.
For me it's well worth the money.
Hello everybody.
Didn't realise a full scale debate would erupt after my initial post! However, I am on a technology forum :laugh:
To answer a few questions, I am on a budget and the S3 did look good coupled with the reviews but I've purchased a Desire X today for £153 inc P & P which I think is a steal. I'll be in touch with my findings once I receive the phone.
I appreciate everyone's comments and views especially vogonpoetlaureate. I won't be using the phone for games. (I just don't play them at all). So in theory, I shouldn't have any issues.
Would I be able to use google nav as sat nav in my car? (Should I be able to download of course.) Apologies if someone has already answered that If I can, is there an accessory to mount it?

I believe you can use google nav in your car. There are a lot of accesories to mount your device, but most of them are universal.
I don't know if there's an official mount yet, but the others will work fine.

For that price, HTC Desire X is the best smartphone you can buy!
Another minor flaw it has... no compass. If you are using a nav app, when you stand still, it may get a little bit lost cause it does not know in which direction you are heading, until you start moving.
So, in my opinion, the 3 cons it has: lack for front camera, lack of compass, bad speakerphone (BTW, I don´t like Beats Audio) are really minor for a great looking, nice screen, fast and handy smartphone. That´s why I bought it.

Pros:
Low price dual core phone
multicolor light bar
front cam
ICS
5 MP main shooter
Mali 400 GPU
Bravia Engine
Cons:
Avg. pic quality
Only 4 gb user accessible memory
Not upgradeable to official Jelly bean
No external memory card support
3.5" screen but looks kinda small 'cause of 16:9 aspect ratio
Thats all i can think right now.
If you can live with ICS then instead of U go for Sola-great phone but if you crave for JB then go for P.
Here's a HEADS UP
Sony will release a 16k INR priced budget phone with a 4 inch display (FWVGA) and Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean in the next 2 months, wait for it and BUY IT! Better than any 2012 phone
This phone will pack a Dual Core Krait and 1 GB of RAM as well.

Great bang for the buck, bought mine for 170 euros brand new last year. Lack of storage is not an issue for me, the only thing i wish it had is a bit more RAM (380MB is a tad small, at least real 512MB would be fine)

TERRIBLE touch screen quality
a lot of people like me had to get it repaired because the touch screen missed some letters etc.
really disappointed, I didn't expect such a low-quality component on a sony device.
I am waiting for my phone to come back from the repair center
great low cost phone. beautiful.

Really good phone _for_it's_price_! I mean every game I tried on it is smooth-semi smooth. To be honest on Gingerbread, the games performs much better than on ICS. Not just because there are more RAM available on GB, but I think the ICS driver for the GPU is a littlebit off, and it presents much slower/laggier gaming experience.
Not to meniton Camera... Ah, yes. So on ICS there is only MONO audio recording while recording video, and on GB the stereo is quite good! It's even got surround, if you watch the videos with headphones on, you will be surprised that you can easily know where is the sound coming (binaural recording, someone?).
To be honest I think Sony not made qiute a good job with ICS. So for me this phone is better with GB.
The manufacturing quality is good, really good. If you not get the cap off the phhone, it will never get lousy. Screen quality is awesome too.
Sony showed me that they have really good designers. OK, it's my own opinion, but I prefer sony design over any other brand's.
So far I love this phone, and the LED bar is just the tip of the iceberg
The phone specifications are definitely great however I was quite disappointed after ICS update, it took them so long to release it and it simply looks ugly for me. I rooted it, disabled a lot of programs so I get ~125 MB free ram and now using Holo launcher with stock lockscreen. Very nice bang for the buck.

Here's a HEADS UP
Sony will release a 16k INR priced budget phone with a 4 inch display (FWVGA) and Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean in the next 2 months, wait for it and BUY IT! Better than any 2012 phone
This phone will pack a Dual Core Krait and 1 GB of RAM as well.

Source? And how is that better than any 2012 phone? The Xperia S, Ion, Acro S, V, T are all better
All I know this laggiest phone I ever had even on GB settings lag and games perform way worse than they did on Live with Walkman.
Best phone for GB.
if you can tweak it a little and get rid of all the useless apps that sony gives in it, its quite a beast! at least for the money you pay for it! There are some great light custom ics or gb roms for it, works great whith those.
Mine runs better on ICS..I didn't tweak even a bit. Its close to jelly bean for me.
I m using generic .54 build by pipi..
Awesome phone and love the media apps!
Just a little tip guys, Enable FORCE 2D ACCELERATION in dev settings and your phone will fly.
When I bought it, I was thinking it will get nice ICS, and later good JB update. Now Im disappointed - ICS is laggy as hell, camera quality and speed is poor, game performance is low, even with ~150 free ram there are trouble with some games. Old GB is wayyyyy better.
I make mistake and didnt check bluetooth before buing - its only 2.1 and theres no way connecting phone to elm327 car adapter.
I regret selling my GalaxyS...
I'm looking to buy a phone for around this price. The Flipkart sale lets me buy this phone for around 11.5k, and spec wise it seems worth it.
Do any of you have any horror stories about this? (Mainly after sales service issues)
Any major faults with this phone because of which I should avoid it?
Any suggestions for a phone under 13k?
After sales is horrible..... I got the phone after 60days.

I am using this phone for about 4 months and its working excellent. If you r not a fresher, then you can tackle most of the issues yourself.
I'll recommend this phone.
Go for it!

As the above post said if u know your phone completely you can solve any software issue on your own you just gotta know it! and even if you dont then you can always ask on xda and also google your problem....there is always a solution for software probs
All in all cHD is an awesome phone....never gave me any problem
Its the best phone in market. Trust me i have bought it after researching like for 6 months. Its been 2 months now and it works fine no issues yet. Did all experiments like rooting, custom Roms and it has a active developer community. What more do you wish for?
Happy to help.

which model??
Guys I plan to buy this & want to the following.
How good is the A-GPS? I plan to use this for map navigation.
Does it support 2 way call recording natively or does it have a patch to support 2 way call recording? I use Galaxy call recorder app on my 2 yr old samsung (Chinese rom) & it works fine I need this feature to be working before deciding for this phone.

A-gps and navigation are good I used it to reach my exam center once in my city worked really well. I wouldn't say its best but its gets the job done. And about call recording, it support call recordings during call you get the option to record.
Happy to help.

Thanks for confirming that it supports call recording with native dialer, I am reading lot of negative reviews about micromax service support which is holding me from purchasing as of now.
Whats your experience with micromax service support, how long have you been using this phone?
Best deal for 13k approx.

If you are willing to spend 13k, this is the best phone. I purchased this phone 4 months back after lot of research. Even if you are a fresher, this phone isn't bad with its original ROM. If you know about playing with Custom ROMs nothing like it. Only drawback is the poor customer after sales service. If you are ready to risk that, just go for it.
After sales

I know after Sales Service is damn poor. Still I took the risk. I haven't found any problem since last 4 momths.
I am happy with this phone. In performance this phone is better than many Sammy and lg and HTC phones. My only unhappy points are:
1) the camera could have been better
2) cpu architecture, we don't have cyanogenmod
3) the speaker positioning is horribly wrong, added to the weak speakers makes it difficult.

A-GPS work better then in Samsung Galaxy Grand, but Samsung Galaxy S4 find satellites much better the A116
If possible I would suggest holding off buying the phone for now, since the latest contender(the moto g) will be available from January with an affordable price tag.
The development(custom roms, kernels etc) of the phone would be immense. Though the lack of an sd slot might put off a few buyers.
Another option though would be lenovo p780. If you can save up another 5k or so this would be the best phone you can get keeping battery life in mind. I charge it twice a week! It is one of the most hassle-free phones Ive brought. I get screen-time of ~16-17 hrs on a single charge, this is with wifi on always and screen brightness >50%. My canvas HD struggles to reach ~4 hrs of screen time with the lowest brightness!
The only disappointment is the lack of development for the device.
Id say dont go for it as LG optimus L9 is a much better option you will love it and development on xda is very good i currently have the device and im running cm11 on it
