I'm sure you're no longer searching for the answer but here it is for those that come against it.
Long Answer: It depends, if the developer supports open source on their hardware and provides everything for a complete root of the device. Then if that is the case you would need to have all the exact model numbers and hardware versions for your chips. WiFi, Bluetooth, North bridge, South Bridge, etc etc. Then you would need to compile the kernels for all of those into your operating system. After that you would need to reconfigure your bios to to boot from the medium you put the completed image on. After that you would need to carefully install the OS. My guess is it wouldn't work the first time and you would have to do some tinkering to get to work properly. After all that you no longer have support on the device. All of that would be null and void.
Short Answer: Your better off just buying a micro PC for 150 on Amazon and using that. The potential for disaster with a non IT Expert is just plan Russian roulette. At that it only may be possible your hardware vendor could not support rooting the device. Then you would need to see if others have built a root package that unlocks the boot from as well.

If you need any other specs then just ask. thank you ;D
There isn't one available yet. May wanna search for a rom and try modifying it.
Please hit the thank you button if i helped!
try slatedroid.com or other android tablet related sites
help more!!
Techno developer, as i'm not a developer at all (yet!!) i was wondering how i would go about modifying a rom to work on it, like real basics
I would ask someone with more experience than me. May try someone like hashcode or koush.... they will be more helpful.
Please hit the thank you button if i helped!
ah ok
ok, thanks anyways
Sorry man, i know how to edit roms that have already been made and make apps, but making a rom work on another phone is past me.
I rooted this device by finding an update.zip on a chinese forum, since april i see it is already here too
Now i want to use a DSLR with the Tablett but OTG seems not be correct implemented or 100% working with the camera.
I already posted a threat to DSLR Controller in this forum but meanwhile i would be interested if there is a way
to install a custom kernel or custom firmware like Venom (Viper) / Cynogen?

A Friend of mine got a Galaxy Nexus 7 and could install with no problem a windows.
Is there no way to install a custom kernel or custom rom on it, if which one could be the right one?
Any help appriciated
Primary target so far i want to make a recovery like i can do now with 4ext Recovery on my HTC Sensation with VIPERS.
If you are interested there is an English forum for the Galapad here at slatedroid.
Hopefully we get some update there.
Hi, I am considering buying the same galapad 7, for the same purpose dslr ptp.
@Ebshow: the link you mentioned does not contain any info about OTG
@cobra98: did you manage to make the OTG working?
thanks
Yes, otg works. Wireless KB and mouse also works.
If you consider to buy one, be sure to get atleast the 16Gb version. 8 fills up easy.
I can't root this device and I can't move programs to sd card. What should I do?
Was anyone ever able to get source code from the company?
Hi, anyone knows what rom to install in this device to make it run atleast android 5?
Thanks!
Hello,
A month ago I bought an iPhone 5 clone from AliExpress.
It works great and so but they are some Chinese apps I want to get rid of that you can not reinstall then I would also have the regular app store market right now I have black market.
can I fix it by root or install a different rom? and how?
The phone has 2 GB ram but it always uses 1.8 to 1.9 GB ram though I do not have anything on and just restart the phone. Will this also resolve itself if I reinstall it with a new rom?

Can some one help me with this i really need this to work !
Lol thats an improvement, an iPhone with android on it
I dont think many people have, or will have this phone ever, so unfortunately if you want anything done to it, you will probably have to do it yourself.
There are alot of threads on how to do everything you need.
You can extract your current rom, edit it however you want, then put it back

Thank you for the reply and tips.
there is not a real iphone 5 but a clone.
I will try to copy the rom and edit it etc. when im done i can upload it here so if someone else have the problem i have they just can get the rom.
Can you give me some useful links where i can read more? i guess there is some drivers that need to be copied.

As far as I know you have to make a nandroid backup, then there is some program that converts it into a flashable zip or something like that. Have you got CWM installed?
Search google how to make a backup of android rom and restore
Don't know

First off Its not a samsung. Second the N5 stands for a Nexus 5 which it is not.
You are out of luck on these devices. You will find almost no help here. Seldom is any work done on cheap Chinese knock off devices.

Hey,
This is not a right place for this.
I have a still reasonable 1,5 Ghz quad-core device with 1 Gb RAM and 32Gb internal memory that is stuck with Android 4.2.2. There are some apps (nothing CPU intensive) that I cannot install anymore because they require newer Android versions.
Is there any way I can emulate a newer android version?
Some virtualization app like Parallel Spaces but that allows me to virtualize a separate android version instead of just cloning the current one?
Hi! Can you send me theJelly bean 4.2 update and mcu files please?

It is unlikely to work without knowing your model. But for my BQ with mediatek MT6589 Turbo this is the firmware link: https://s3.amazonaws.com/tabletfirm..._Elcano2_QuadCore_1.0.0_20131219-15.50-FW.zip
As alternative, download this custom rom: http://droidcustom.blogspot.com/2015/10/romofficial442-mystic-os-for.html
Dear Support,
I am new user in our forum, I don’t have any information about Android OS. I can Reset system, but I never try to flash, unlock Android OS.
Few years ago, I bought ZaapTV(Attention to buy it ), now if you don’t pay you can not see nothing on Tv.
When I turn ON the Box, I see only ZaapTV logo, after that, they ask me to activate my Box by paying 90$ every year.
When system boot, I see [ Starting Device. RK3066 4.2.2 ]
My question: Can i install any Standard Android version 4.2.2 or other in this Device with RockChip 3066 ? Transform ZaapTV to Android Box where I can see Google Apps and download any Application ?
I hope my question is easy for you and I m waiting your help asap to know if it’s possible or no before buying a new Box ?
Thank you very much for your support.
@Zorrofes
I think ZaapTV is running Android 5..1.1 & KODI is pre-installed.

I said before: [ Starting Device. RK3066 4.2.2 ]
Now, if you don’t pay you can’t go to Kodi or anywhere.
I can go only to seetings, but I can’t see About Device to verify more options.
My question is to know if I can install a new Android OS like: KitKat 4.2.2. Because I saw some Android TV with RK 3066 Dual-Core has this Chip ?
Thanks.
