Hi,
So, I am buying a new tablet soon, and I will be giving my Nook Tablet (8GB) to my 7 yo nephew. I want to find a ROM that satisfies the following conditions:
1. Supports Japanese (not just a keyboard to type but as a system language)
2. Stable without any issues (he lives in Japan, and I live in U.S., so I won't be able to fix any issues for him, so I want to make sure it's a very stable ROM).
3. Doesn't have issues with Google Playstore (when I searched and read through some ROM's threads, I saw some of them having compatibility issues with apps)
4. (preferably) based on newer Android builds because nobody around him will know how to update it, so this ROM will be the last ROM this tablet will ever use till it dies.
If you can think of any ROMs that satisfy the above conditions, please let me know. I very much appreciate your help/input in advance.

Hello,
I would like to buy the cheapest tablet I can find. I found an eBay insertion featuring a Chinese tablet running Android 2.1.
While I wait for the seller to provide me (if known) some information about brand and model name to find more information about this device, I would like to ask a couple of questions that might sound stupid a little for you experts, but as I don't know much about the Android OS I'm still going to ask (if this was WinMo, I already knew the answer was NO)
1. Is it possible to upgrade Android to a newer version, ie. Gingerbread or even Honeycomb, on any device that supports it? Like, some kind of software upgrade tool? Or, how could somebody make an upgraded ROM without spending months in reasearching, experimenting and breaking?
2. Is it possible at least to root devices like the one I mentioned?
Thank you
Hello, and thanks to all who take the time to read this and offer their support.
To everyone else... just hello.
Okay.
I have a few of those cheap Chinese 7" tablets so common on e-Bay these days. For the price, most of these are okay and seem to run fairly well "as-is" without having to spend a lot of time rooting them or installing CFW. This one however is just a little bit different.
Here's the deal... The tablet I'm going to be addressing in this thread has a ROM that was not customized for the retailer very well. The particular combination of apps and services it has causes the tablet to perform horribly. I'd really like to change this. The problem is however that because there are so many of these around these days, many of these generic units have not been "developed." Because of this, rooting these devices or replacing the ROM's is often very difficult if not downright impossible. At times, even identifying the specifics of the hardware. This tablet is one of those.
I've tried just about everything I can think of to simply modify the ROM it has in a way that would make it work better, but there are a few apps installed that are locked and impossible to modify or remove. I've come to the conclusion at this point that if possible, installing a custom ROM is going to be the only way to "fix" it. I have been able to root the device, but I have not been able to replace the recovery app , nor have I been able to identify a ROM that might be able to be installed once I do.
What I need from you folks.
If I supply every scrap of information I can come up with about this tablet, would someone please be willing to tell me which ROM just might work, and how I can use the recovery app that's installed to install it? If so, thank you.
Here's the information.
Options available in the installed recovery app.
A. Apply update from ADB
B. Apply update from external storage.
C. Apply update from cache.
Here's the tablet information.
Brand: ZTO
Model: N1 PLUS (Generic Chinese 7" tablet)
Android version: 4.1.1
Baseband version: v0.4rc3
Kernal version: 3.0.8+
Build number: N1 PLUS_wifi-7601_V4.1.1 JR003C 20131202
And again, Thank you.
Hello,
this is my first thread so please be gentle
I'll start by describing my problem:
My father bought my mother this phone during their holidays in Taiwan. They forgot asking wether german was a possibility as system language. This sadly isn't the case. Also the installed Android version seems a bit laggy (can't attest to how fluid it should be but it just seems less responsive than a new phone should be).
I've never had an Android but I'm very good at doing "computer-stuff". I've tried googleing this problem and found, that I'd need to flash a new ROM on the phone. I already read about Cyanogenmod (but just a little) and this was my first idea.
Will Cyanogen run on this device? Which ROM should I use? If this is not the solution what would be? The Version I would want to install should be most responsive and with as little unnecessary apps as possible.
I hope you can help me with this problem.
Howdy all!
What is the highest OS build rom that is availble for the Springboard/303? Is it as high as 4.4? Maybe even 5? I have looked but cant find a conclusive post on what is a good and stable build for this tablet. I am running 4.01 huewei image right now.
Thank you!
For the unbranded S7 it was 4.03.
I don't whether custom roms can be flashed, but these range up to 4.4 only. The late roms of Zyr3x, the last dev, who got banned on XDA for selling his roms, had severe issues, there wasn't anything useful since spring 2014. So check the old threads for hints and links, which still work.
Any suggestions for a 4.4 rom? I searched through the forums and didn't find any that seemed to apply.
Anything up to May 2014. I'm not sure, but didn't Kitkat start with 4.3.x? In May/June Zyr3x began releasing CM11s based on a new source, which would self-destruct after a couple of reboots. I never found any evidence that these roms were working longer than a couple of days for anyone,so it was not my fault, that this happened with any new version, and an early CM12 by the same dev. With CM11 even with the smallest possible GAPPS there was only 1 to 3 MB free mem on the tiny (350MB) system partition. This was probably the cause for instability.
But I'm not sure whether you could use any of these roms on the Springboard. The free S7 has no locked bootloader, probably you first have to unlock that on the Springboard. If possible.
I'm using the 4.4.4 released from zy3ex. Some time (not often) reboot and loses something in the data partition, usually some app config.
The bluetooth has problems.
Anyway I'm satisfied.
Hello all! I've got myself a dandy Galaxy 9 plus from America that cannot be rooted (sm-g965U), I'm told it is impossible to root this phone. I am also told something referred to as a bootstrap cannot be loaded except the 'stock' one that loaded the last cycle. So, my question to the experts is what, short of a new phone (currently researching older models), is needed to achieve either/or 1. Custom ROM? 2. Rollback Android? I would like certain features unavailable in 9 and 10 to be restored. And, I am told this is not possible as long as 9/10 are running the show.
Lastly, my apologies, I wanted to get some expert advice from this site. I suspect that much like in the name Boy Scouts, you know you should probably be a boy, I suspect I should also be a developer to be here. I'm not. (in case you were on the fence (wondering)). Cheers! Weeee!
