Hey.
I recently purchased a Gigabyte Gsmart Akta A4 smartphone for 130 euros.
Gigabyte as a company is only known in PC market, but they're very trustworthy and they make quality PC parts.
And for 130 euros I've got:
Octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU
Mali-450MP4 GPU
8GB of internal storage
1GB of ram
13 mp camera and 5 MP front camera,
A bit small resolution but good screen with good color reproduction (540 x 960).
At this price point I couldn't find any other phone which would match these specs (at least in Lithuania).
In AnTuTu it gets over 26K-27K score.
So I went through a lot of searches and I didn't find any custom roms or anything for it. It's like it's a non-existant phone.
How such a superb budget phone doesn't have any android developers around the globe? :[
Any news? Did you found something?
You most likely won't. Devices like that almost never get any development due to no kernel source and having minor specs. Most developers go after flag ship or near flash ship devices.

Hi,
I know that the Iphone 3GS has ARM 600 MHz processor and the HERO has a Qualcomm MSM7200A 528 Mhz process.
But what really is the difference between them??
Why don't we have more games running on android as apple for Iphone?
If we had iphone games on android from the best one s would it work on HERO?
I know that Iphone s games are more developped cause apple is older but the games for android are so rubbish for most of them.
In fact, I had two questions in one
1. processor differences hero VS Iphone 3GS
2. available and quality games differences ANDROID (Hero) VS Apple (Iphone 3GS)
THX A LOT GUYZ!
Hi there. I too am annoyed at the lack of development for games for Android. It is the fault of Google and Android handset manufacturers.
However it mostly comes down to this:-
1. Very limited internal memory to install apps on (512mb etc)
Some of the games on the iPhone are quite big. A couple of 100mbs. 1-3 games at that size will mean you have no room for other apps on Android and you will see 'low memory' all day long.
At the moment most people use Apps2SD but as this is an unofficial way no 'big' games developer is going to see this as a base for creating a game.
However new phones coming out have a few gigabytes of internal memory so hopefully we can get things moving.
2. GPU's or lack of one. (Proper)
Hopefully with Android taking off as it is, we won't have to wait long to more Android devices with a GPU (e.g. PowerVR SGX .. .Like the iPhone has) thus enabling proper OpenGL ES 2.0 support. The Milestone has one. Nice !
I want proper 3D games like the iPhone has. So until we get proper GPU's in our Android devices we are still lagging behind in some ways to the iPhone.
The Motorola Droid’s GPU, a PowerVR SGX 530 is similar to that of the iPhone 3GS yet with no proper application storage capability it seems quite a waste and one that will make sure the Motorola Droid isn’t an iPhone Killer.

Kind of sums my thoughts up really... We need at least 8GB internal memory as standard (My N95 had this 4 years back). So 32GB should be the norm. That is why we don't have iPhone type games & as apps2sd is unofficial people won't make games like the iPhone for Android.
Also the Milestone is relatively new compared to the iPhone 3GS yet the 3GS has a PowerVR SGX535 GPU whereas the Milestone has an older PowerVR SGX530 GPU. oMg !!!11!!!1
That's pretty poor too.
As much as I hate to say it there are some features of the iPhone that would not go a miss on an Android device.
Also we need a music equaliser !!1!1 Argghhh
Otherwise I love my Android phone. Hero ftw.
The MSM7200 processor in the Hero is based on the earlier ARM11 architecture whilst the processor in the 3GS is a Samsung SoC based on the ARM Cortex A8 architecture. Clock for clock, the Cortex A8 architecture is a fair bit faster than the ARM11 architecture.
Both chips have GPUs for 3D acceleration, but again the 3GS's chip is a more capable unit. In the Qualcomm range, the Snapdragon is closer to the 3GS's chip, as it is also a Cortex A8 core, and has a better GPU.
Also, another reason why iPhone games are "better" than Android games is because all iPhone games are native applications, whereas all Android games are interpreted Java - although the NDK allows certain parts of an Android application to be written in native code, and in the latest NDK this includes the OpenGL ES subsystem.

the N95 8Gb's internal storage is different than main storage, that was pretty much equal to having an SD card inside the phone you couldn't change
the external storage was slow and the internal storage was fast enough not to lag but there was very little of it but you could store things on the 8gb memory chip it'd just be slow as all hell
I know because I currently still run that phone along with my Hero
THX all
SO now my question is : What is the evolution part for Android to concurrence Iphone in the future?
Which base Android is "fighting" on VS android with?
Happy to be french but my English might me incorrect, sorry!
will anyone be developing for the above device?
it may be a budget device but everywhere for months sells out as soon as they are in stock so it is going to be fairly popular if not already.
it runs 2.3 but has a 1ghz cortex a8 i think it is and 512mb ram so i think it could run android 3.2 or even ICS.
there may be a generic rom for the type of processor it runs(not sure??) but i wouldnt have thought that would be ideal.
i am not a developer but was curious as it is an excellent budget device and recently won the gadget shows budget tablet award.
any ideas anyone?

Checks all the boxes (if you can find the dual sim for a decent price, the single SIM is certainly in your price range). Quad core. 1 GB of RAM. All the typical sensors. 4.5" screen. USB OTG. Plus it has a decent build quality vs a lot of budget oriented phones, as well as the software is already on 4.4.2 is a bonus. Tons of magazines and websites have reviewed the phone and all of them were thoroughly impressed with the overall package for the $$$. The camera would probably be the weak spot, but does fine in normal shots if you aren't expecting Nokia Lumia 1020 pictures or anything.
Well gsmarena.com is your friend just scan and scan or search...

can you tell me where i can change the specs to the real informations that i can use it as it really is and not with fake information?
i'm not allowed to put some links. that suxxx! -.-
can send screenshots and it's link from aliexpress. i need real help. i'm no n00b to android and hardware.
This is one of the things with using devices from there. They have modded software that lies about the hardware. Not really alot you can do. Without wiping the device and rebuilding the os from the ground up
HI XDA folks,
So i wanted to get my kids a budget tablet for christmas, but not junk. Something that would be ok. Now for me Android needs atleast 2gb RAM. All of the devices i have tried with 1GB of RAM are slow as hell.
https://venturer.com/product/venturer-voyager-7-android-tablet/ The device is from ventuer which is a rebrand of RCA which is also Alco. So there are a few devices on XDA already.
It as 10 Go and is ok for its spec. But i know from my own experiences tinkering with Dev options and Build prop etc, different Firmware I know it can be made smoother. It has the full google suite for starters...
Anyways, I installed Android Assitant which gave me this information.
So a bit of info.
Model = VCT9F78Q22EU
Android = 10 (go version)
brand = Venturer
Manufacturer = Alco
board= tb8168p1_bsp
Hardware= mt8168
4 cores 2ghz each, armeabi-v7A, armeabi
MediaTek MT8168 Processor - Benchmarks and Specs
Benchmarks, information, and specifications for the MediaTek MT8168

Anyways, any one come across this device so far? Any chance of rooting?
