Hi.
I picked up a cheap second-hand 7" tablet on ebay that I want to use as a car jukebox and I was hoping to get the ROM updated from its current 4.2.2 custom thing. The tablet is marked up as a bitmore and the model number is tab785 but I can't find any custom ROM mentions via Google or on here.
If needs-be I'll just use it as-is but if anyone can offer any suggestions about better ROMs or ways to use it as mentioned then please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Anybody?

Hello
I just bought gigabyte maya m1 v2 and rooted it (4.2.1). Now I need custom roms. I couldn't found any. Are there any phones similar (like Nexus), so I can us that rom or it wouldn't work?
Looking forward for your answers.
The question is what phone and what model of the phone do you have.
There is no way to give answers without a thorough explanation of details. To tell you the truth, less popular phone models will have lesser people modding.
The most you can try is maybe other launchers, and the xposed framework.

Yes sorry. I forgot. Phone model is:

Hi!
I want to buy a P780 from AliExpress, and some stores told me the versions they use, which you recommend I buy?
I use the Portuguese language.
VIBEROM_V1.0_1347_3_ST_P780
P780_ROW_S110_130629
You bought from a store in Aliexpress and can you recommend any?
Thanks a lot!
In my opinion the ROM version does not matter, because you are there can give any custom ROM that suits you the most (on the net or this forum are many guides how to do it). You chose differently by price and chiefly by the seller of positive feedback. Distributor who has about 99% of the positive-going feedback can be measured reliably. I bought this phone from pandawill.com (etotalk is good too). On alliexpress may be some fakes.

Hi!
Thanks for the reply.
What you bought in Pandawill.com came with which version?
And, I really wanted a pure Android ROM, it exists?
What ROM you use?
Thanks a lot!

I dont remember which ROM was there when I bought this phone (but I know there was some ROW multi language ROM) because now I have changed to custom ROM because I preffered pure android.
I am using ROM : LiFe 0.7 (Its a pure android). http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/life-rom-lenovo-p780-t2666626 This ROM is in English (not problem for me, I am Slovak, but understand english) , but when U use app more locale most of installed app will be in selected language.
VIBE rom feels like an IOS ripoff (at least VIBE 1.5)
The interface is not Android-user intuitive, and the icons look childish.
Also, I noticed that VIBE doesn't work with a magnetic case.
If you prefer the more standard Android interface, don't choose VIBE I'd say.
But it's very easy to flash anything else on the phone
Good luck!

My sister bought a silver one from lenovo-lephone.com and it seems in good quality. The ROM version is more universal.
I'm new in Android world, and I have to buy cheapest Android phone that will be able to handle Android 4.4 or newer.
I have found that the best option is Galaxy S3 and that there's one on Aliexpress. I'm aware that it might be a clone but it will not be my primary phone. It just has to be able to handle newer Android.
Can't post a link, search for the top ordered Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 on Aliexpress.
Has anyone tried it? Will software see it as genuin S3? Thank you!
if it's a real i9300 then you are only able to upgrade via custom rom. Official support via samsung stopped at 4.3
If You need official KK (4.4), then You must search form S3 4G/LTE (9305). Basic S3 ended with 4.3 (as maultasche said).
This must be S3? If not, try search Moto E - it's cheap and small chance to buy fake one - in S3 (generally in Samsung phones) it quite ease to buy fake/copy when your search for cheap phone.
You are right, thank you! And I will check Moto E but what about S3 Neo?
S3 Neo has 4.4.
You can check every Samsung phone here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Just type model name/code (S3 or 9301) and it will find all/latest version of firmware.
It you want a phone for calling/texting (and using in general), you should list your needs/requierements/max price and ask what to choice - XDA probably has a place for it.
If you want a phone for testing/development Android apps, you should think about Motorola/Nexus or some new models with offical long support (ie Xperia family).
I just need a >4.5" phone for general use, with at least 4.4 (to use with smart watches and bands). With as low cost as possible. Galaxy S3 Neo is my leader now.
I don't know where I You from, what models ara in your country and in what prices, so it's hard to suggest any model.
I suggest You to use some kind of price comparation site (in our country), choice your requierements and list devices. Then choice what you like (what looks nice to You) and has a good price.
Then paste list of interesting devices.
For example there are couple of cheap models named "Core" or "Grand" (from Samsung) with screen size obove 4.5 inch and new Android.
Downsides are: not so "strong" CPU/GPU (for games) and lack of light sensor - it shoudn't be a issue as You want to use smartwatch anyway.
In my opinion s3 is best choice As long as there is ANY chance to get some cm (official/ unofficial)

You can upgrade it even to marshmallow why KitKat?
As we are expecting the official cm to release tomorrow so I think that s3 is the best choice. And if you just like touchwiz s3 has 4.4.4 ports from touchwiz and you can install them. But I recommend you to install lollipop 5.1.1 rom if you buy a s3 device. You chose the best device if you want any help on how to flash these roms just reply my post.
If I helped you hit the tnx button.:good:
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.
Hi folks,
Could someone please help with the following?
I have the tablet in the subject. Haven't used it in ages, as I have an iPad Air 2 from work which I prefer.
My daughter is now a teen and keeps pinching my tablet to view all her shows on my tables, although she has a rooted Nexus 7 I gave her with CyanogenMod installed.
This is driving me up the wall. Can't afford to get a new tablet at the moment so I dug up my old Sony Tablet.
My Xperia Z tablet is stock with the latest update Sony pushed out - I think it's version 5.1.1 or something.
I see a lot of roms available for this device on xda.
Is there any benefit to root the device and install one of those or is the device outdated? Will it stream Netflix, etc in HD?
Many thanks!
