[Q] Google Fast Touch 10" tablet - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know anything about this tablet? My wife just got one and wanted to see if porting KitKat was possible on this device?
It comes with Android 4.2.

The tablet appears to be just another no-name brand tablet , the Google in the branding name is misleading as the device has nothing to do with Google (It's not at all an official Google branded product) other then it runs Android. As far as porting KitKat is concerned, it is possible but it will unforutnately be difficult without an official kernel source from the manufacture or your own knowledge of compiling AOSP KitKat or say Cyanogenmod 11 for an unsupported device.

If I was able to obtain kernel source would it be possible for you or anyone to build KitKat for it? How do I obtain kernel source?

In the case of your device you would have to contact the manufacture and ask them to provide you with the kernel source code, and even then if they did you would still have to undergo the process of extracting the files for your device and fixing any broken features that would likely arise during the KitKat building process.

[Q] How to build CM11 for a legacy device?

I have a LG P350 which development has stopped but i want to keep it updated, i have my computer ready for building, also i have kernel sources, Cyanogenmod 11 and 10.1 sources too, (I don't know exactly if 10.1 sources could help) and i know that i need to apply patches to work on Armv6 but i don't know how to apply them to the source code, also i don't know if i would just need the pure source code to build or i need to do more modifications to it and finally, i don't know if the rom would work with 2.36 kernel which it's the most stable one for this device, i'm very new in this but i know that i can keep update my little phone, thank you all in advance for help.

Hello, looking at your situation here is what I can conclude. First off you will need to change things for building on ARMv6 architecture, check this out for example. But your biggest problem will be that Android 4.0+ uses Linux kernel version 3.0+, and with the 2.36 kernel you have a lot of things will be broken and need fixing. That being said if your up for the challenge for it cause that's what were all about .

Well, i got this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144790 that is the most similar phone talking about hardware, it has 3.0 kernel working well so i thought i could port it, i found this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15961306/porting-kernel-from-another-device so i think i would have less problems due hardware similarities (Look here http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3516&idPhone2=3735 ) so, if i have cm11 pure sources, i add this kernel sources and some patches i would have it booting? Sorry for this very dumb question but, i didn't get at all about the armv6 part, how to apply patches, which i would need and all that, i really want to learn about this so thank you for this answer and the next ones :good:

The best way to start is use the ARMv6 branch of Cyanogenmod 11, replace the CM 10.1 in the previous linked build guide with cm-11.0 ("repo init -u git://github.com/androidarmv6/android.git -b cm-11.0"), and then to direct the build to use your kernel take a look at this guide on integrated kernel building with Cyanogenmod.

[Q] Upgrading a Handset OS from ICS to Jellybean

I might be talking out of the sky, but here it goes,
I have a handset Xolo X900 which was abandoned and I want to help out everyone whose Handsets were abandoned by the Companies but still able to run on latest Software so Here is my General Question
Suppose I have a Set with some version of Android and I want to upgrade it to latest , but the Phone Hardware vendor wont release it or upgrade it.
I want to be able to use the Android Source Code from Google to create a ROM or an Upgrade and bring the Handset to the Latest Version
I suppose It needs a lot but would be helpful if get some guidance from the Community to be able be free from the Vendor provided Updates for our System ,
I am ready for a Deep Dive to achieve this , but not able to find the correct Tools or Guide. , Please advice

Yes , its an x86 Android. I wonder if I can flash latest Android on it.
Its far fetched, but I wont mind trying if , someone hints on where to begin.
Custom rom will the biggest issue.
I have not found much resources on how to build one. Just couple of people who launch it and then we all use it.

Compile CyanogenMod For XOLO BLACK

Hello everyone, can somebody compile CM12.1 or CM13 for XOLO BLACK? I know that there is already a CM12.1 ROM out there for this device but I've heard it's buggy. So, can someone come out with a bug-free ROM?
This device has decent hardware but TBH this HIVE ROM is ****ty, laggy and also very buggy, they don't even push out any OTA updates. Also, the kernel for this device could be found here: https://github.com/hiveinside/xolo_kernel

No source code for this device. Don't waste your time. If you've just bought this phone and it's returnable then take my advice, return it.
I've already moved on from this device now I own a OP3.

Custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy Tab E (SM-T560)?

Just yesterday I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab E (SM-T560) and immediately I rooted it. The device is running Android 4.4.4 KitKat. While I think for the price this tablet is fantastic, I want Marshmallow on this device. I don't believe hardware is a limiting factor here based on the research I did, although I am very aware that the tablet is not a flagship by any means. I got the tablet as a device to mess around with, but after hours of searching I cannot find any custom ROMs for this device. Cyanogenmod don't even support this device. This came as a huge surprise to me as this tablet is pretty popular and from 2015. I kept on looking and apparently a lot of people had trouble rooting this device, so I'm wondering if this is why there has not yet been any ROMs released for the device. The device is just about usable in this state, but coming from someone with three phones all running Android 6.0 and above (two of those devices being Nexuses) using KitKat and moreover KitKat skinned with TouchWiz is a lot to get used to.
Does anyone know of any custom ROMs for the SM-T560? Maybe I'm just blind and missed something. If there aren't any ROMs, would building a version of Cyanogenmod 13 be the best option? Also, I am very curious: Why have we not yet seen any ROMs? Popularity isn't an issue, neither is specs, the rooting process was painless for a newbie like me, so I'm really interested to know.
Thanks!

Yoga Book Nougat kernel source code petition

Lenovo is the only company to have released an Android Nougat update for an Intel Atom Cherry Trail SoC powered device.
If Lenovo releases the kernel sources for the Android N version created for its Lenovo Yoga Book (Lenovo YB1-X90F/L), developers can start working on Android N upgrades for other devices powered by the Intel Atom Cherry Trail SoCs.
Lenovo has previously released the Android Marshmallow kernel sources for the Yoga Book (https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/yoga-series/yoga-book/downloads/ds118515 Thus it shouldn't be a problem abiding by the General Public License v2 (GPLv2), which requires Android device makers to publish the kernel source code.
Please consider signing here: https://www.change.org/p/lenovo-kernel-sources-for-lenovo-yoga-book-android-n-7-1-1 . Thank you
True, we really Need to make Lenovo release the source Code, i hope you could edit your Petition by adding that also we Need Infos about how to use the source Code.
Greetings
I'm not sure that it would make a difference, but has anyone tried posting on their support forums or contacting them directly?
It might help our case to note that the device (the Android version, anyway) has been discontinued. I doubt we'll see any further official updates from Lenovo.
Take a look , Hope this will work for you:

Only via Facebook. Got this answer:
"Thanks for reaching out. Currently, this the only open source http://lnv.gy/2DMoObI we have for Yoga Book. You can keep an eye on the support website as it will be updated if a new open source will be released. Let us know if you have other inquiries."
Feel free to post the link to the petition on the Lenovo forums or even ask them via Facebook/scoial media. The more attention, the greater the chances.

WOW! I've passed this information along. Thanks a lot, this hopefully opens some doors
What did you do exactly?
UPDATE: It's another Marshmallow kernel source code. We need the Android Nougat kernel source code!

True, i open it and it was another MM sources, i will rewrite to them again, however, i figure it out how to use it, for example specially for yoga Book Windows owners, i tried to install Android distro (Phoenixos, blissos,......) but some Drivers were missing i mean no Sound, no Bluetooth,....... but today i understood how it work, in lib/Firmware we Can add this files in any Android distro to get some or all Drivers work, but im trying to figure out how to copy-paste them inside System.sfs under Windows enviroment :fingers-crossed:
