I have rooted it and am looking for a good custom ROM (Jelly Bean preferred) for it (one which can enable all disabled kernels and more importantly the kernel which supports RAM swapping. Can some one help me get one?. I also have the firmware (update.img) for it and am ready to share it with someone, who is willing to create a custom ROM out of it.
Thanks for all your help....
Have I posted on the wrong place? Or is it so that there is no one kind enough to help me? It has been more than 24 hours, but I have not had any responses.
Please help....

Hey,
I'm quoting some fellow RCs I asked about this:
Oh a Rockchip tablet?
Oma's ROMs for the RK2918 should be able to help

I used to own a couple different rockchip tablets, only place I know of developers working on those is freaktab.com have him talk to finlessbob who knows the ins and outs of these.
Or here on xda have him search for the nextbook premium 7, there are a couple devs who worked on that tab here and made a few custom ROMs, I and a few others tried to get cwm on it and failed but the way you flash those things it isn't needed for custom ROMs kernels etc, its all done with the flash tool.

Let me know if you have other questions, and I'll forward them.
Good luck
Hi Germainz,
Thanks for the reply....
I tried Oma's ROM and my tab was unable to move any further to first screen during boot. I also searched a lot for other custom ROMs but could not find one which is the reason I decided to prepare my own custom ROM with at CWM recovery. For this I extracted recovery,img from updated.img (obtained from vendor) and uploaded it to builded.clockworkmod.com.
The question now is: Is this the correct way of obtaining stock recovery image for upload to builded.clockworkmod.com or should the recovery.img only come from device?
Thanks for you help...

That is the correct recovery, but even if you get it to build, you may have a tough time getting to work on your tab. With the other rockchip tabs a fellow RC used, no one could get it working. Again, a recovery may be nice but it's not needed for what you's looking for.
Also, even though these may all be similar tablets, flashing custom ROMs from one to another most certainly won't work, so try to port the ROM you wants to your tab using your vendor's ROM as a base then flashing it with the flash tool.
There are some useful tutorials on xda about porting ROMs, too. Good luck again.
Thanks...will get back to you should I need any further help....

Some good news
Hi Germainz,
Finally, I have a working CWM recovery on my device now, it is a generic one and has been obtained from androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/rk2918/. The only issue now is I am unable to use mouse with it and am looking for ways to resolve it.
Thanks,

Custom/ Unofficial Jelly Bean 4.2.2 ROM for Penta IS709C
Hello Everyone,
The 1st Custom/ Unofficial Jelly Bean 4.2.2 ROM for Penta IS709C is available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2361857
Please click thanks if I've helped you ever
Enjoy....
I have seen one or two similar questions, but no solution.
I have two identical Noname Chinese A10 based tablets. One works, one doesn't boot and I can't find firmware to successfully boot the non-working one - I've tried several.
The etching on the board is A721-MAINBOARD-V4.2.0 2012/03/26 with an A10 CPU.
Model number: MID
Android version: 4.0.3
Kernel version: 3.0.8 [email protected] #2
Build number: 20120731-LY-F2S.0.7.1
It's cosmetically this: pandawill.com/lyf2s-tablet-pc-7-inch-android-23-new-12ghz-cpu-4gb-2160p-hdmi-white-p59372.html but with 1GB RAM. It was sold as a Tabtronics ICE White I believe.
Most flashed ROMs allow me to boot the tablet, but then it either freezes before getting into the OS or shuts down/locks up after about 20 seconds into the OS.
So... I'd like to clone the working one as a flashable image to use in Livesuite. Is this possible? If so, how?
I've used the Allwinner A13/A10 Dump tool to dump the working tablet and I've got 5 files - boot.img, bootloader.img, data.tgz, recovery.img, system.tgz
How could I create an image to flash using LiveSuite? I can't use Uberizer as it requires the target tablet to be booted...
Cloning the working one must be possible in some way, even if I have gone about it all wrong?!
Thank you for any help in advance.
Hi again. Can anyone offer me any advice at all?
Thank you.
Is this possible?
Thanks.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you.
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone with a Ramos i8/i9 has experimented with other custom roms and/or are aware of any stable roms that worked well with this Intel driven device ?
Thank you !
I have bought the Ramos i8 tablet (Have not received it yet though) and I am interested in testing custom roms as well. It has similar hardware with the Ramos i9 for which there are some custom roms around already (I think) so I suppose it could be ported from there (?)
There is an androidx86 project that has already released a 4.4 KitKat android for x86 devices (netbooks etc.) Could something like that be used in Ramos i8, i9 or similar Intel processor devices somehow? I suppose the install process is the hardest part...
Here is the link to the project:
http://www.android-x86.org/releases/releasenote-4-4-rc1
FYI I already asked in their group and there is a problem with the drivers of the PowerVR GPU. They are proprietary so it is not supported by androidx86.
Since there is no forum subsection for the i9 I could not post but I have some custom stuff running on my i9. I was asking the Slatedroid community if they wanted a release (which I could work on polishing) however not if only a few people will use it and help it keep going.

Hi Seven I'm quite keen on experimenting and would love to give ur concoction a try and I'm sure panpapad would too...
and what better place to share it than on XDA as it might draw other devs to help contributed.
Thanks heaps if you do share it on here...! :victory:
im very interested
Hey seven2099. I'm very interested in a custom rom. Was trying to post on the slatedroid forum but have to wait for the damn approval before I can post. So soon ill be n there with you. I was also wondering if anyone as found a custom recovery which works on the i9.
Hey guys! Sure I'd like to experiment with custom roms but I got the Ramos i8 not i9 tablet. It has very similar specs but still its a different tablet. So if anyone wants to work on i8 I can test .
Ramos i9 post-root issue
Hi guys,
Total newbie here.
Can anyone provide assistance on a root gone wrong?
Long story short: bought Ramos i9, rooted it in order to remove all the Chinese apps, and now no sound is coming through the speakers (only headphones).
Have tried rebooting, factory reset, and a second root. No luck.
Adb I used is adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321. I tried Nexus 4 drivers after the second root, still nothing.
Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated!
Cheers,

Ramos i9 firmware-Update goes wrong
Hi, I have a problem with my Ramos i9.
I have loaded and run the latest firmware from the ramos.com.cn website. After I start the Update-Process the screen goes black and the device will not boot again. I think I install the wrong firmware for a Ramos i9 with GPS. Can somebody help me to reinstall the firmware by using a Windows-PC. Thanks!

Hi Seven2099,
This tab is rebranded and sold as digiflip xt901 in India. Please share some of your ideas on firmware mods for this.
Thanks
Suren
Hi everybody I have Ramos i8 branded as polypad i8 in Turkey.
I research whether there is another ramos i8 that is branded diffrently in an another country.
I have found one in india.
called Digiflip Pro XT 801 Tablet and with sim card Digiflip Pro XT811 Tablet.
XT 801 and XT 811 are the same configuration except 3G.
There are some who achieved to update XT811 to kitkat(4.4) but what about XT801(i8) ?
Here is link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/kitkat-firmware-update-procedure-t2984011?nocache=1
Is it worth to try? What do you think.
Edit:
Not working becuse has different Rom.
Not try.
---
No you cant......the firmware of xt801 is different from xt811......this may brick your device

XT801 AND XT811 ARE BELOW:

The Dell Venue 3830 tablet (8 and 7 inch-3730) is to my knowledge the only z2580 based android tablet that has an official kitkat release.
Since there are so many different z2580 devices out there without updates newer than 4.2.2 it would be a great project for many people (including me) to see if that Dell rom can be ported and optimized for other z2580 devices.
My major issue is ram on my 1GB z2580 tablet (only ~200mb free after clean reboot). A kitkat update would in many ways solve that issue and make the tablet a solid useable device. (No my kernel does not support swap.) The cpu is quite fast and a shame to waste.
Edit: Asus Zenfone 5 and 6 are both Intel z2580 devices with official kitkat updates, (and cyanogenmod seems to be supported, surprisingly). Their roms could be useful for the z2580 community. Possibly moreso than the Dell Venue since reports show the kitkat firmware to have some stability issues for some people.

Good news.
When i ask ramos firm, they said that they will issue new rom as soon as intel issue a rom apropriote for x86.
They blamed intel for not issuing new rom app to x86.
For more ram you should use greenify. It makes the ram free up to 460 mb.
And not to mention nova launcher with dcikonz theme.

Mayb your device is ramos i9 3g not the normal one if 3g i can help u root it or provide u the official firmware
Hello guys.
I bought a Chinese phone it suppose to be ( Lenovo A8) but when i got the phone i found it where totally different on the Lenovo A8. and it come with android 4.2.2 so i tried to upgrade the phone to 4.4.2. and i found a ROM for CUBOT s208 run on my phone with some problems.
* Camera Not working, even there was no icon for camera.
* No wakeup and air gesture in this ROM but i was have them in my Original ROM.
* Notification light keep working all the time.
MY PHONE SPECS are( 1.3 cpu MTK 6582, 5 inch screen qHD, 8 gb ROM).
is there any programming way to make the phone working 100%.
Or can i get the Camera source code/driver from my Original ROM.
Regards and thanks.
Dose any body have the answer ?

Camera is not working because you are using ROM designed for some other device. I dont know what type of ROM you flashed, but you can find out about porting Cynagenmod ROM to your device at Cynagenmod's website :
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
BTW Jumping from one Android version to another just by flashing the ROM is risky business. If the preloader gets overwritten with mismatched type, you can hard-brick the phone.

Even the auto-search after entering thread title returned only threads with 0 replies...
So i have some no-brand chinese MT6580 running Lollipop 5.1 - not KitKat.
All the automatic and semi-automatic recovery porting tools work only for GB/JB/KK
Sadly the MT6580 kernel source was never leaked, so no compiling also.
Any way to get anything working? i would be even happy with a non-Touch CR...
Bumping this one as I am also looking for a way to port TWRP to my Galaxy S7 clone. And yes, it seems that none of the recovery porting tools seem to work on my end either. :/

I've hacked together a TWRP image for a FiGO "Virtue 2", 512MB, 8GB, MT6580, 5.1 but it is larger than the upload limit so I can not attach it for you. It seems to work with the possible exception thus far of not finding OTG storage, an issue which shall not keep me up at night. Installs, backs up, recovers ..... so far so good.
DISCLAIMER: As everyone says, use at your own risk. If the aliens come and take away your house pets or you experience any other device related or coincidental calamity of any kind, there's nothing I can, should, or will do about it.
Used the Carliv Image Kitchen, my stock recovery image, a TWRP image I found for an Infinix "Hot 2" and the general procedure found at this URL
http://www.xposedgeek.net/how-to-port-philzctrcwmtwrp-recovery-to-your-phone/
If you have the flash stuff for your factory build like I did it is probably a piece of cake, because I am pretty new at this sort of thing and if it can be screwed up I usually can find the way to do so. Took about an hour including thinking time before hitting the button. I was either brave or stupid and didn't even set up a virtual test first, but it works :cyclops: The Almighty must approve of my actions at some level.
Proceed with appropriate caution.
Hope that helps.

The lack of OTG support is indeed something of a shame, but at least this is something. Thanks for the tip mate!
EDIT: OK, so I managed to port TWRP to my device. Only problem is that I had to fiddle with the partitions, and for some reason there seems to be no other way to flip the screen back other than compiling another TWRP image or google my way through a compatible prebuilt by some kid online. I'll post my flipped-screen version ASAP when I get to compile that thing myself.
Sorry for the double-post, but here's the source-built port I made for inverted framebuffers:
https://github.com/huckleberrypie/android_device_alps_z6u030
I made it for clone devices in mind, but feel free to port or fork this in case you need to use this on your phone.
