Thanks again aleks!
Haven't come across any yet.

This is really a great device. Amazing price-quality ratio. I just bought one as a second phone and I'm very happy with it.
Performance is comparable to Samsung Galaxy S+ but with a nice 4.3 screen.
And Alcatel has promised an ICS update so fingers crossed.
@ whigga: yeah, it's really a great device with such cheap price. it's a steal!
hopefully devs can look into this phone. it's something like LG Optimus X2 of some sort.
Available here now for $280
I really like the 4.3" over my 4.1" phones,
Strange they made no 850MHz 3G units for countries that have the stronger frequency like Australia, USA, Thailand, China etc... for those that dont know 850MHz can penetrate into buildings to allow better indoor reception.
Just like to bump this thread. Any update of development?
Heey guys!
I just bought this phone 2 days ago, after my Galaxy Gio died 1,5 week ago.
I'm very happy to hear there are more satisfied users of the OT-995 who want a custom rom and XDA thread
Let's hope a good developer will also get this beautifull device!
By the way: does someone know a good way to root the Alcatel OT-995?
@ markvann: that remains the question. I still got an unrooted OT-995. tried those rooting procs, nothing works atm.

Hello Petalotis!
I just looked, and it seems there is not 512mb ram. It's exactly the same as it is with Xperia Neo V I guess, because my telephone says there's something like 370 mb ram. Normally I'm a heavy device user (except for my last one, the Galaxy Gio), but I have to say this smartphone can handle all the apps I want. I'm really happy with it, and on Quadrant Standard benchmark it even scores better than Galaxy Nexus (and on Antutu they have around the same amount of points). So I hope you don't get fooled by the 'not-so-high' amount of ram, and that you can participate in searching for OT-995 root methodes and ROMs!

I want to buy a new Android phone and this one catch my attention, i have a ZTE Blade and want to upgrade .
The launch of this phone in my country (Portugal) will be in 7 of May with the name of "Optimus Madrid" and the price maybe would be €229,90, i was searching here if anyone begun to developing custom roms to him, will be an asset.
+1 for development of this device
also I would ask the people who bought this device if they try to connect mouse or keyboard in mini usb gate ?
already seen a guide to do this in galaxy s (in this forum). Hub must accept external power because there isnt enough power in mini usb
is it possible that this works ? can you try to connect keyboard and mouse in hub or a usb flash
i would appreciate that
thank you very much
I also have the alcatel ot-995.
I''ve tried things like superonclick and z4root.
Is there any possible way to root my phone or do I just have to wait for a new rooting way.
Hello! I just bought is phone people , has as nice price!!!
And I hope someone considering spend some time to make the root possible!!

Just like to bump on this thread again.
To Devs: Hopefully someone out there who has the heart to develop a ROM for this nice phone would be love by all who bought this amazing price-to-performance phone.

This phone is perfectly capable of making 3g video calls. At least it works in Holland, where I live. Do realize that this functionality also depends on your network provider if they allow it.

Yeah, you're right! Software implementation is defenitely not as good as the hardware should allow it to be. Processor and ram are more than capable, but still there is lag where similar speced phones have none. Hopefully the promised ICS upgrade will fix this or otherwise hoping for some good 'ol custom rom development.
OT995 Potentials
I'm a freak of speed for low cost and the alcatel OT995 will definetly be
my next one!
Hopefully does developers see the potentials of this low budget device,
and make a masterpiece ready to challenge with high-end non-price-quality
phones!
I keep fingers crossed, once a project gets started, I buy one !
Anybody know how? I'd move this to the A110 section but there isn't one..

has anyone rooted the acer iconia tab a110 4.1.2 update yet? if so how? i already had the 4.1.1 rooted with the universal root tool v17
I get the feeling, we're not going to get a thread of our own. Sad to see such a powerful device avoided. I've owned a Nexus 7, Galaxy Tab 2 7", and many others. None of them compare to this tab. The Nexus 7 has major screen issues and no sd card is a no no. The tab 2 7" is extremely laggy, and Samsung is taking years to release JB. This tablet combines everything I need, Just wish it had more dev support.
New year is coming lets just cross our fingers and hope for the best for the sake of our Iconia tab A110. lol =)

Would really love to see a section dedicated to this device. I just bought it today, I wasn't able to buy a nexus 7 (being out of stock everywhere). First impression, it is such a great device! I am very impressed
I just bought the A110 as well and am very very impressed with it. I would love to see a dedicated thread to this beast.

This tab is an amazing device. I've had mine for about three weeks and have not found anything that I don't like about it less the fact that it has not been rooted. Everything just works! The build quality is solid and sleek, the OS is super smooth, this Tab handles everything I throw at it with NO hiccups whatsoever, from running multiple apps concurrently, playing graphic demanding games, watching hd movies and videos, reading books, acceptable battery life, HDMI port and expandable memory. The speaker is above average for a tablet, music sounds quite good at high levels with no distortion. Phone calls and Push to Talk are great over WiFi and having this tab tethered to my Epic Touch 4g means it goes everywhere I go. After using it for thee weeks I think the price has already been justified and I believe it is worth every penny I paid for it. Bottom line; the stock A110 has exceeded my expectations for being a so called " budget tablet " and this device deserves some ATTENTION in the device forum and some serious dev support so we can unleash the A110's inner-BEAST!

I agree with you 100% I just bought this device a couple days ago and I am in love. We need a a forum for this device !
I would agee that this device is amazing. Picked one up yesterday on sale for 148.00 at my local walmart. I was set on picking up a nexus 7 but since this was on sale for over 100 dollars less then the cheapest nexus I could find around here which was the 32gb version at 269 I couldn't pass it up and must say I'm very impressed. But would love to be able to root it.
As an update I am now successfully rooted on 4.1.1 using this tool. androidforums .com/iconia-tab-a110-all-things-root/662108-acer-a110-rooting-tool.html won't be updating any time soon.
Working on a custom recovery for this device. Stay tuned

Great to hear that work is being done one this great device. I would be willing to beta test if it helps the cause!
Great to see someone working on this impressing device. I would like it can be root soon.
Ditto you can count me in on that as well. My tablet has just informed me that he or she? is willing to donate it's bootloader, firmware and recovery in the name of science in hopes of finding a cure to this rare epidemic and hopefully one day all A110's can be booted with an insecure image so they can receive proper custom rom treatment and begin to live a normal healthy life........
PS
My A110 is experiencing frequent notifications in its task bar and has been offered an update several times. At this time we would rather not want to go that route......
My A110's vital signs are as follows:
Android= 4.1.1
Kernel= 3.1.10

Definitely keeping an eye on this. Seems the bootloader is easily unlocked, on this device; has anyone tried re-locking the BL, or is it a one way operation?
I'm really surprised this device hasn't had much attention, it runs extremely well with that T3! I made the unfortunate mistake of updating out of the box, from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2... Meh!
Best of luck, I'll be keeping my eye on this thread with my fingers crossed

Hey guys,
well im gonna buy a new phone with in 2 days my first smart phone and i've short listed xperia sola , htc one v and lumia 710 i'll get these models at below 13000/- and my budget is only that much. so my needs are
1)a good screen
2)i text a lot
3)its needs to get me through a day with 1/2 to 1 hour of browsing,music and gaming and ofcourse texting.
4)camera isnt super important but it should be a good shooter
5)it should be lag free most of the time
6)i'd like to play hd games like asphalt and other racing but most of the time i'll be playin games like temple run and agent dash , cut the rope etc
7)im not soo into rooting and flashing because my friend messed up his galaxy mini and i dont want that trouble but doesnt meant that i wont try it in the future
yup this is pretty much it
i included lumia 710 because it had many positive reviews and many satisfied users. does windows store have fun apps for windows phone 7.8??
i heard sola has a weak battery life and im not plannin to do the official ics update because i read it drains the battery faster but i liked the sola very much but the battery backup is the only thing keeping me away from it.
htc one v is a good hand set but i read the yellow dot problem , the over heating , lagginess and does it hav internal memory problems?
is htc one v able to run hd games like asphalt 6 hd adrenaline? and real racing 3 etc??
please suggest me a good buy and any other phone suggestions are welcome.
and thanks in advance. plz do help me

Hi there,
i am about to buy a new phone sooner or later.
My old SGS III (I9300) is still running quite fine (thx to the dev´s in here), but after 2,5 years i looks kinda awfull by now because of the bad build quality (cheap plastic crap) of the body.
So the next should have better build quality = metal frame if pos.
So i figured out 2-3 possible phones:
Samsung Galaxy Alpha or Samsung Galaxy A5 (wont be released in the US/Canada as far as i know)
As an alternative:
Phicomm Passion
The most important point for me is the longtime community support from CM,Omni, etc. This tbh is the only reason i still use and can use my quite old S3. And i can´t even tell you how much i hate Touchwiz and crap UI´s like this.
Might it be easier to get a good working CM for the A5 because it will have a Snapdragon 400 or 410. I often read about Samsungs Exynos making it hard to develop for.
So do you got any thoughts what device will have the better community support? Yeah crappy question i know, just wanna hear your thoughts

Yeah i know the the Alpha has a stronger SoC, and is intended to be a flagship device. But tbh as long as the system runs smooth i dont give a damn at antutu scores and dont even play any games.
But i think the best precondition for a good longtime support from the community is a high popularity and alot of sold devices. Atleast i think thats the reason the SGS3 for example, is still up to date.
I dont really care about the support from the producers like Samsung, HTC, LG etc. They all do quite a bad job at holding their devices up to date. (Sony might be a exception) The community does this job alot better in my eyes.
As far as i can see it the Galaxy Alpha didnt sell this great and the active dev´s and roms are quite rare (sadly).

For long and good community support, this device is not it for various reasons example high price, battery performance, uncommon and exynos chipset.

I run a CM developer build and my battery lasts for 2-4 days. I never had a device with such good battery life. The exynos chipset is great, cause the modem is separated from the main system. They don't share any memory. So the modem can't access the android filesystem.
same hire,2-4 days moderate use
our phone is optimised as iphones
normaly coz we dont have every week to flash custom roms hehehe
rorian & leripe are quite right,
if you check Alpha's sub forum u will notice that is already half dead
that's sad cause Alpha is a truly strong device, will an excellent design.
It has its flaws -as all devices have-, but that's expected.
The phone went live on the market with a high price, because was directly compared with S5,
so customers expected the price to be lower than s5.
The competition was already high in this range with cheaper models.
Then finally sammie put the tombstone on the device by announcing the end of production.
The device is good , im happy to own it, and i would buy it again for sure, but it hurts when im
clicking in xda and see no interesting from the community, i blame 101% samsung for this, EPIC marketing/scheduling fail.
Sorry if my englisch isn't that good.
I'll get my Alpha tomorrow. I think the forum is quite dead at the moment because everyone is waiting for the release of the cyanogan mod custom rom. I hope that with the release of CM sooner or later (maybe with lollipop) more and more different custom roms will be made for our device.

You hate it, i love it, and the other way around. Just personal preferences. What i hate about Samsuns is just their update politics. They even got probs keeping their flagships up to date for longer than 1 year and even if they do, the updates are delayed for months.

Are they even working on an official cyanogemod 12 for alpha or is there any dev in here working on an unofficial port yet? If yes it would be great news and it would be a big argument to buy it over the A5.

They at least have it running but probably have a ways to go. But im glad we have a devs working on it.
Since the Galaxy A5 ain't going to be launched in the US I shouldn't get my hopes up to see a custom ROM right?

That is funny I gave up my nexus 5 for the Alpha and I cannot be any happier, and Im a developer developing games for android and they run very nicely on my alpha also looking forward to the Lollipop update.
Here's Antutu Benchmark for Galaxy A5
I've just come from iPhone 6 then note 4 and then decided I wanted a smaller device but android so I purchased the alpha after looking into buying the a5 the alpha is a better device by far. I'm very happy with this only wish it was abut heavier and so slot that is all but for now I'm enjoying this little beast

Hello,
I have bought this phone due to its hardware specs.
But after i have realized that software part is seriously bad and buggy.
Firstly the touch response is as good as redmi series
Secondly ui experience is buggy and much slower its seems m using 1gb ram phone
Battery is 3850mh which is quite great but my device juiced battery really fast
It would be great if we have custom roms for this device but still no one is working on that.
Is there any solution to make this phone amazing? I really don't think any one is making a custom rom like miui,flame,lineoage,cm is there anyone who will save this device as we cant trust on umi digi developers

i wanna buy a phone and i wanna know that will you suggest this phone or not?
By hardware perspective.. You should buy this one.. Otherwise software has glitches n bugs.. Their developer's aren't good so far.
Plus still no custom rom available yet.
