Hey.
I currently owning ZTE V5 Redbull, with CM12.1 ROM.
I am very pleased with the device, its design, its construction quality, and in general.
Despite that, I have one major problem, and it is a problem that I just can not ignore it:
Its hardware specifications is simply low (1Gb of RAM, and 4 Gb of internal storage).
This causes the device to be slow in launching applications, and navigating within them. Due to the fact that it hasn't enough storage space, I'm using Apps2SD (just like Link2SD Pro, only free, and even more features!) in order to 'link' most of the apps to SD, which slows the device even further .
Therefore, I am looking for a device with similar features, but enhanced specification.
It is important for me to have at least 2Gb RAM, and 16Gb internal storage. More features, such as NFC, IR, etc. can add to the attractiveness of purchasing.
In the meantime I found 2 reasonable options (limited myself to 300-350 $ ) for me: ZTE Nubia Z7 Max, and Xiaomi Redmi Note2.
I noticed that the Xiaomi is much cheaper (for example, $ 180 in Geekbuying, compared with to Z7 Max with a price tag of 300$ in AliExpress) and I have no idea why. I wonder also why there's no Xiaomi Redmi devices for sale on AliExpress...
I would love to know why the difference in price, despite the fact that the hardware seem to be nearly the same.
If there is another device that I need to consider in these rates - would love to hear about it.
Thanks in advance!
Take a look at gearbest.com , u can find here ZTE nubia z 7 (flagship,QHD,3GB RAM...) for 199USD
So I just got this tablet as a cheap add on to my phone contract with EE in the UK. I've searched the internet and the XDA forums and can't find a specific place where any developers working on ROMs in the same way I have had with all of my Samsung phones in the past.
Is there any hope for something like linage 14.1 or just a stock 6.0 or 7.0 ROM for this tablet with TWRP?
I can see that it has a Snapdragon 615. Is there something about this that's hard to develop for or is it just that not many people have the tablet?
Any respone would be helpful. Thanks!
I join in here. Same situation for me.
Message to member who is not Thai
According to the issues about the storage memory (ufs2.0,2.1) on Huawei Mate9/P10 and P10 plus. Rishard Yu,CEO of Huawei has said that huawei use mix storage memory ufs 2.0 and 2.1 on Huawei Mate9/P10 and P10 plus.
Presently, Huawei Thailand doesn't have any respondsibility to the customers who get the storage memory not the exactly one that shows in the advertisement for mate9. And P10/P10 plus that coming after mate 9 was released for many months. It should have a new technology or the same technology with Mate9 , because it uses the same CPU (kirin 960).
I am droidth who support and help many people who uses Huawei mobile, I may stop support or help anything with Huawei mobile until we receive the best respondsible from huawei.
I am getting a new phone for under 200 dollars new and i'm deciding between the Honor 7x vs Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus. Does anyone know which option is better? Sorry if this type of question shouldn't go here, im new to this site.
That is exactly the comparison I did before to buy Redmi 5 Plus, my second candidate at that time was Honor 7x.
In your case I recommend that you see the compatibility of network bands first of all.
It seems that in some version(s) gyroscope is not present, some users froms US variant report that it has, model that I saw from China it didn´t have.
Battery: Honor 7X=3340 and Redmi 5 Plus=4000
Honor 7x has dual camera and according some reviews a better camera but contraryly some users are disappointed in this point. (not much important for me)
There should be more details but summarizing gyroscope and battery was determinant.
Watch this
Dear reader,
After many year or lurking XDA and flashing countless phones I have finally create an account! I quickly wanted to thank everybody here in the community to allow me to get most out of my hardware despite phone manufacturers bloating my phones to pieces. (btw I hope I am posting this in the correct place - please correct me if I am not)
I have recently purchased the Oppo K1 (version: PBCM30) on my trip to China. I am very happy with the hardware. Dual sim, MicroSD slot, in-display fingerprint sensor, 4 gigs of ram and runs on a Qualcomm SDM660 Snapdragon 660 with a 6.4inc display. All for a bit over $190! My previous phone was a OnePlus 3.
The phone runs Oppo's ColorOS which is fairly ok. However, the pre-installed garbage has brought tears to my eyes. Out of my 4GB, over 2GB is consumed in idle state. Not to mention the battery life (although it has a 3600mAh battery).
Now my question;
Does anyone know if there is already development going on for custom ROMs for the Oppo K1. Is there perhaps a different ROM that is compatible with the Oppo K1. I tried searching the web but could not find anything.
Many thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Banaan001
I have this phone for around a month now,
love every bit of it, really cool phone.
but the annoying thing is there is literally nth about it anywhere on any site,
neither this nor the Rx17 neo or R15x
I thought since they're the exact same models there should be a global ROM for the k1 as well,
but didn't find anything.
the closest I got was an Indonesian site giving a tutorial on how to root it, but honestly couldn't convince myself to trust it
I bought Oppo K1 aswell and the phone is pretty cool. But there are no ROMs at the moment in the development.
Is there any method to root the phone?

Not that i'm aware of. It should be possible to root the phone and remove the unwanted software, but I don't know which root program would be suited.

First Connect internet on your pc
Download The Kingo Root Computer Or Pc Version Software.

Hi friend,
Thanks for the suggestion. I researched KingoRoot a little and it seems that a lot of unwanted software will be installed together with Rooting. Please consider these apps will gain full system access without the need of permissions so I am not taking the risk.
OxygenOS 9.0 for Oppo K1?
It would be neat if Oppo K1 could install a Oxygen 9.0 Gsi Rom. ColorOS is terrible. Hopefully there will be a gsi rom for it with in display fingerprint.
We need a TWRP build for it to start, there are existing builds for similar models but I'm wary of attempting to flash them on this device. Has anyone heard if the kernel source code for it has been released yet?

Note about display: Oppo K1 is using the same OLED display as flagships Oppo R17 Pro & OnePlus 6T source | review
Any updates on this? I have the rx17 neo Europe version, which I think is the same as the k1. ColorOs is really a nightmare. Can we ask to some developer to help us with this? I think there is a little community around this phone, and is quite good, good specs and everything but the Os is garbage.
