Hi
I have a zopo Zp990, C7.
The phone quickly demonstrated a lot of bugs, so, long story made short, the zopo was so buggy I tried using it for about a month, fiddled with it for a couple more and then put it back into its box.
I recently got it out to use as a wifi device (because that's all it is good for) and got to thinking... Because I am a complete "Beginner" I figured I could use the zopo to learn a little about the multitude of options available to Android users.
Unfortunately I cant find much in the way of info/resources that are zopo zp990 specific.
The device zopo is 2x32gb Captain S model running 4.2.1 and it is rooted (with eRoot).
My next step was going to be the installation of CWM or TWRT, then do a backup and try installing a 4.4.2 rom.
The problem is that I have been completely unsuccessful in finding a CWM or TWRT version that is stated as being compatible with the C7 Captain S. I understand (have seen) that some people use variants intended for other devices but I don't have the competence/experience (nerve) to try that path.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Fred.

Hello everyone, first of all thanks any help would be greatly appreciated.
I recently got this. iBall Q9703 (cant use links yet sry iball.co.in/Product/Q9703/474) tablet, it has a badly ported rom and noticeable lag. Now I own a few mainstream devices with custom roms and this lag is not acceptable.
The chipset is Allwinner A31 which supports JB 4.2 and up(acc to wiki). Im assuming the lag is cause the stock is running badly built jb 4.1
I know that most Indian(and other) brand tablets are actually re-branded clones of Chinese tablets, so i went searching and found this Allview Alldro 3 speed quad. Its the EXACT same tablet from Romania.
I tried finding custom roms for it (or even CWM recovery ) but failed. Many suggested ONDA tablet roms but some ppl flashed it and wireless services stopped working. So got fed up and decided to handle things by myself.
I have a few questions so plz bear with me. (BTW I know there are detailed guides for most of the questions but I just need some direction)
( note: current rom was pre-rooted out of the box )
1) Is there any way using just root to speed up the rom? (tried launchers, removing apps, task killers)
2) Should I be able to compile and use CWM for this device or any other recovery.(None of them officially support the device)
3) Would I be able to take a backup image of the current stock rom inc. kernel(as a zip) on my system and flash it using recovery in case i screw anything up?
4) Would I be able to create a rom from scratch by extracting and using the current kernel and base-band? If so can I use jb4.2? (current is 4.1)
If i flash the rom and something goes wrong, i assume i can boot into recovery and flash the backup?
5) Would I be able to use a CWM intended for ONDA tabelt since its both based on allwinner a31?
6) Can i use a jb 4.1 kernel with jb4.2?
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

i also have the same problem and yea it also has serious heating problems
I recently bought a Chinese android 4.1.1 phone and dont really like the look of it and was goolging around and found about these things called ROMS. I know the phone has to be rooted and I found this program called SRSRoot and was able to root the phone. but now I am confused, can I install any ROM found on this site? does it have to be compatible with android 4.1?
which model?
You cannot just install any ROM. If you do, you might end up bricking your phone.
Try googling 'phone model + Rom' .
It would also be wise to know about recovery.
Hi there,
I have a Mobistel Cynus F3 with android 4.2.2 and I would like to find a custom rom and/or a way to update my smartphone.
I'm using liquid E2 port found on a German forum. Unfortunately it doesn't work wery well. It keeps "flashing" the initial screen even if the RAM seems constant (67%). This does occur when trying to play, using the magnifier 3-clicks or just browing the web. So i assume it's not a RAM issue.
Back to my request: I would like to know if it's possible to port cyanogenmod (or another custom ROM) on my phome OR what ROM I can use with mtk6577 or, again, how can I found a decent alternative to liquid. I'm pretty new to this world, but probably CPU is the first thing to check when looking for a mod, isn't it?
I read different users in different forums trying to figure it out, but their topic are dead. I'm tring to find the answers by myself, but it's very difficult.
Thanks for the help
Hello,
I own a Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus and I have a CWM recovery. I recently installed CM11 and there's a huge bug: can't make phone calls. And the development was terminated because of the lack of Broadcom's drivers. :crying: So I was already planning on reinstalling the stock rom, then I did some research online and I found a solution: dual boot! I could have stock rom and CM installed at the same time.
I went searching online and I only found guides/apps/videos for specific devices or for Android and Ubuntu, but I want two android roms. Since my phone isn't very popular, I found out there's no guide for it. :crying:
My question is: is there a way to dual-boot/multi-boot/dual-rom/multi-rom for this device/all android phone in general?
Best regards,

Hey,
So I was recently thinking of upgrading my phones android, since its only a ****ty 4.2, but I've been running into some problems having never done this before, let me be as quick and concise as possible.
Phone: Its an Evolio x6, I cant post external links yet, but its a 5.5inch, 2gb RAM, 1.7ghz octa-core processor thingy, made by a romanian company so thats why its pretty rare to see anyone using it.
I'm trying to upgrade it to something around an android 5, but anything above 4.4 would work, my problems are:
1. Is any ROM gonna work? Does the ROM have to be compatible with the screensize/hardware? From what I've seen specific phones have specific ROMs they can use, but since barely anyone has this phone I cant really find anything online.
2. If I install some non-functional ROM, can I recover the old OS? Since I cant find the factory ROM anywhere on the internet.
3. I've seen quite a few guides, but most of them mention "google a good ROM for your phone", are there any ROMs that you guys think might work for mine?
4. When I go into recovery mode I dont have any Nandroid options/backups, is there another way to backup everything on the phone?
Thanks for your time, sorry for bothering you guys, and have a great day ^.^
