Hi all,
I am in a development team which develops an app used by millions of users worldwide. We get mysterious crash log messages all the time which happens only a couple dozen or even less devices which we can not directly reproduce while the vast majority of the users can use those features without problem. We suspect that in some of these cases some custom ROM or custom kernel causes the problem. Currently we get these informations from the hardware/software environment (in the parentheses there are examples from an actual crash log):
- Android version (4.0.4)
- Board version (SPH-D710)
- Brand (Samsung)
- System build number (IMM76I.FH13)
- System build ID (IMM76I)
I have a Nexus S with ParanoidAndroid, and on the About Phone page there are the extra fields I speak about (for example CyanogenMod version, ParanoidAndroid version, kernel version). My question is that is there an universal way to extract all or some of this information which could work on any device?
Go to settings and click about phone there will be the versions...

You misunderstood me. I know perfectly what kind of ROM is on MY phone, but I don't have access to every single phone and tablet which runs our app.
EDIT: The os.version system property seems to get the kernel version, but the other properties in System.getProperties() does not seem to have much use for me.
Did you find an answer?
EDIT: After a little digging I found everything shown in Kernel version of about phone:
On a N4 with Matr1x kernel, about phone shows this:
3.4.0-cfs-gb074426 <dev_email> #4 Sun Mar 3 22:47:55 CST 2013
This gets the initial version:
Code:
System.getProperty("os.version");
I'm pretty sure the date can be retrieved using this:
Code:
android.os.Build.TIME
3.4.0-cfs-gb074426
However there doesn't seem to be any other property that leads to the remaining version information, but this file has it all:
/proc/version
Anyone found a better way to get the dev build number, eg <dev_email> #4
Hi everybody,
I am writing you to have some help with my 10'' Tab.
I bought an android tab, but I can not figure out which kind of tab is. In particular on the box there are the following information:
Epad M10
TN screen 1024x600
VMicro VC882 ARM Cortex A8 @ 1 GHz
512 Mb
4 Gb
Resistive dual touch
Gravity sensor
Webcam 0.3
But on the back of the tablet there is the following code: ZT-283
Furthermore using "Developer Device Info" app:
- Build.CPU_ABI == armeabi-v7a
- Build.DEVICE == vortex
- Build.HARDWARE == vimicrovortexboard
- Build.MODEL == MID_Serials
- Build.PRODUCT == cb7033_vortex
- Android version: 4.0.3
- Kernel: 3.0.8-vimicro
Since I would like to update botloader, kernel and Android (as I have done with my mobile) I need to find out which kind of device I have and where (if you know) I can find custom rom.
So I am writing you because using google I was not able to understand which tab I have and where to find a forum for custom rom.
Thank you,
It appears to be a generic tablet and 9 times out of 10 there is no development at all for them due to lack of kernel source code being released and lack of developer support due to it.

Hi zelendel, thanks for your reply.
So that means that I can neither use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615415
Searching a little bit I was starting to think that what matter is the kind of processor (in my case VMicro VC882).
Thnak you for your help, I need to understand this issue.

There's a lot more to it than the processor. If you can't find a rom specific to your device you most likely will brick it. I'd stay stock and be happy with what you have.
Edit a Google search for zt-283 shows it as a zenith think. You might look there.

Hi all,
Today, I proudly present GomdoLight KitKat for KOREAN LG G / G2 / G3 / G3A / G3cat6 / Gflex / GK / Gpro / Gpro2 / LTE3 / Vu2 / Vu3 / Gpad7LTE, one of the most widely used (with 20,000+ users approximately) stock-based custom firmware in South Korea.
GomdoLight is more than 3 year old already (first version released on 19th December 2012), and is very mature.
Technically speaking GomdoLight is NOT a complete ROM, but rather a large-scale patch, which modifies official stock firmware to remove all the unnecessary components preloaded by operator/manufacturer, and reorganizes key system parts to 'basic' Android OS with manufacturer's flavor. For some devices GomdoLight's own specialized tool 'GomdoLight Sideloader' can make it possible to install GomdoLight directly over the stock firmware, even without rooting or flashing custom recovery!
GomdoLight is compatible with the following devices (BOLD indicates GomdoLight Sideloader support - no root required)
LG Optimus G: LG-F180S, LG-F180K, LG-F180L ("G")
LG G2: LG-F320S, LG-F320K, LG-F320L ("G2")
LG G3: LG-F400S, LG-F400K, LG-F400L ("G3")
LG G3A: LG-F410S ("G3A")
LG G3 Cat.6: LG-F460S, LG-F460K, LG-F460L ("G3")
LG G Flex: LG-F340S, LG-F340K, LG-F340L ("Gflex")
LG GK: LG-F220K ("GK")
LG G Pro: LG-F240S, LG-F240K, LG-F240L ("Gpro")
LG G Pro 2: LG-F350S, LG-F350K, LG-F350L ("Gpro2")
LG Gx: LG-F310L, LG-F310LR ("Gx")
LG Optimus LTE3: LG-F260S ("LTE3")
LG Optimus Vu2: LG-F200S, LG-F200K, LG-F200L ("Vu2")
LG Vu 3: LG-F300S, LG-F300K, LG-F300L ("Vu3")
LG G Pad 7.0 LTE: LG-V410 ("Gpad7LTE")
A very thorough and extensive (probably, the most extensive on entire xda) manual is provided at the download page, which contains literally everything you need to know to install GomdoLight. FAILURE TO READ THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE INSTALLING WILL ALWAYS LEAD TO VARIOUS UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. Needless to say, I WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ALREADY ADDRESSED IN THIS DOCUMENT.
Due to xda forum's limits (in functionality) I am posting a link to the separate (external) DOWNLOAD PAGE. There is no way I can link to each section in the document in xda posts, since xda does not support HTML tag. However some portions of the document are also introduced here.

it should NOT be easy, and since i'm busy with my law school i have no plan to build a new rom at this time. sorry.
UPDATE - Wave 2, revision 9
UPDATE LEVEL: MAJOR / IMPORTANCE: CRITICAL
UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS:
Use the clear.root flag to unroot before upgrading if you're rooted (IMPORTANT)
You can always re-root using the enable.root flag (SEE http://gomdolight.flags.usage.gomdoli.us for details)
You do not need to revert to stock, but choose the 'FRESH INSTALLATION' option at the Installer's main menu even though you're actually upgrading. (You will go through the reconfiguration process)
CHANGELOG:
Greatly improved GomdoLight Engine scripts
Added support for a new flag: reboot.recovery - reboots into recovery environment (automatically into 2nd-init recovery if installed)
Added support for a new flag: auto.install.xposed.framework - automatically schedule installation of Xposed framework when the Xposed Installer app is installed but the Xposed Framework is not.
Improved stability and battery efficiency
Automatically restores GomdoLight Engine functionality when GomdoLight Engine can't be initialized
Removed IM+ from the Update Center
Added 'LG Tag+', and 'Privilege Terminal' to the Update Center
'Update Center' components updated
(G2, Gpro, Vu3, Gflex) Now the clock/date indicator shown when the status bar is expanded will NOT do anything if you click on it, instead of taking you to the Date/Time Settings screen.
(G2, Gpro2, G3, G3A, G3cat6, Gflex) Now you can choose between stock navbar thickness and reduced (by about 25%) navbar thickness
(Gpro2, G3, G3cat6, Gflex) Better DualWindow (SplitWindow) app support
(G3, G3A, G3cat6) Improved QuickRemote (Q Remote), now you can control some air conditioners and audio systems.

Got rebranded android device - Need to figure out if there is a custom ROM I can load
Fair warning - I'm an android noob.
I'm have a rebranded android phone and I'm trying to find alternate ROM's for it.
The phone has the following specs:
Brand: AG Mobile
Model: AG Chrome Swift
Operating System: Android 4.4.2
Display 4.5" FWVGA
Memory 4G+512MB
CPU 1.2G Dualcore
Manufacturer refuses to release their ROM's, updates are non-existent. I'm hoping this is simply a re-branded HTC or something similar that I could an alternate ROM on.
When I used the APK Installer detector app it picked it up as:
Manufacturer: HTC
Description: YunOS ACB Interface
Any assistance to figure this out will be greatly appreciated.
It is a knock off device. You are out of luck to be honest. No one develops for knock off device.
Thanks man - possibly not the right forum for this: Is it possible to get a ROM off a working model to re-flash another?
Would solve at least one of my headaches here (and thanks in advance for any help!)
No because you will need a custom recovery to flash it.
A medical device I use since today offers live monitoring by the hospital if the device can connect via an app for ios / android.
Unfortunately, there's a hard-coded list of models the app is compatible with, and refuses to run on other devices.
Is there any way to fake a model number? Eg: let my oneplus2 using lineageos 17 fake a galaxy s8 with android 10?
I know, this could be used the wrong way, but believe me, it is as pure as described here
If device's Android is rooted then you can edit its system file named build.prop accordingly.
