Hello everyone,
I have received my CDS CD1000 phone. Looks and works great but sadly I noticed that it does not come with the Play Store installed. Also it's not rooted. Does anyone know of available information about this phone about custom roms, rooting and installing the Play Store?
Here a link to a site with some general info: http://www.gizchina.com/2012/09/06/galaxy-s3-clone-mtk6577-with-45-inch-hd-retina-display/
Would love to hear others opinions and findings about this phone.
Thanks for reading.

Hi G64,
for rooting you should try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
The latest version of the script can be found in the first posting. Bin4ry did excellent work here. It should work on most MTK6577 phones and worked for my B92M which has Android 4.0.4 and MTK6577, and I heard from a lot people with MTK6577 that it worked for them too.
After rooting you should be able to install the Play store by yourself with the help of ES File explorer and PhoneSky.apk (the latter one is the Play store) - just google for it, there are quite a lot tutorials for this task around the net, e.g. here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582422
The tutorial implies that there is already an unmodded version of the Play store installed in the phone, maybe it works anyway. But be sure to rename the Vendig.apk to Phonesky.apk before installing, as told in page 2 of the link above.
I am interested in the phone, too, so please be so kind and answer to the following questions:
1) does it have dual sim support? Your link says only one sim is supported.
2.) battery size in mAH?
3.) does it really have (about) 1 GB RAM?
4.) does it really have 1.2 GHZ?
5.) could you please tell me the AnTuTu benchmark score?
Thank you very much.
Hi asskicker,
Sorry to get back a little late. I don`t have the phone here atm. Do you know perhaps if i can install that Play Store thing on a NOT rooted phone ? Because the most important is the Play Store.
I`ll try to answer your questions here:
1) does it have dual sim support? Your link says only one sim is supported.
- It has 2 SIM slots
2.) battery size in mAH?
- Battery says 2100mAH
3.) does it really have (about) 1 GB RAM?
- I can`t install Apps a normal because it lacks Play Store at this moment (for Antutu).
4.) does it really have 1.2 GHZ?
- I can`t install Apps a normal because it lacks Play Store at this moment (for Antutu)
5.) could you please tell me the AnTuTu benchmark score?
- I can`t install Apps a normal because it lacks Play Store at this moment (for Antutu)
When i can install the Play Store i am happy to post the questions ant further. But i need to have the phone first so i can try the Play Store install.
But if you know that the Play Store installer can also be used without Rooting than it might be quicker to have the info.

Hi G64,
thank you for the answer.
I am pretty sure that it will not work to install the Play Store without rooting the phone. But rooting is really easy if you follow the link in my post.
About the RAM: Android will tell you the free & used amount of RAM if you go to settings -> apps -> active tab. The two values will tell you the complete amount of RAM installed.
@GaMeR64 - Did You root'ed phone success or not?
I'm very interresting answer for @asskicker question 3, 4 and 5
Unfortunatly no. People can't miss their phones for like 5 minutes these days
Do you know if GPS works ok?
hello , i have this item about 4 weeks and its real fine
all works great , better build and hardware quality as the star b92m or my umi x1 ( No GPS on this devices , and netwok suppot real poor )
this thing for moment price round 170 $ , is the best alternative on dual sim sector ... which have MTK 6577 :good:
i ordered here : http://www.aliexpress.com/item/4-5i...core-1GB-4GB-Dual-camera-5-0MP/668733010.html
really good seller , but others have the phone cheaper at the moment .
sorry for my english
greetings
@dynamo4ever - why CPU freq on screen max is 667MHz??? antutu result test with this freq?
How long phone work on full charged battery?
Some new (and proofed) informations about the phone. I'm very interested in this phone.
I've just ordered one from here:
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181036120686
£117.86 GBP.
The ebay advert says it's Dual Sim and judging by an earlier poster's screenshots it supports two sim cards as the notification area shows wifi + mobile reception + airplane mode (for the other sim).
I was about to go for a Star B92, but I'm hoping this phone works out better as it has 1GB ram instead of 512MB and better GPS.
If someone could post a step-by-step guide on how to root and install the play store app that would be awesome.
Thanks!
This phone goes by another name Chigon A720. I think those who are interested can find more info searching for Chigon A720 as there seems to be a russian community owning this phone
Mine finally arrived today. However I forgot to order micro sim -> sim adapters so have been unable to test the phone side of things.
It seems pretty fast, the 3d graphics are not great but for non-gaming use it's great. The screen is clear,nice and bright. Good resolution.
The touch screen works well to, better than i was expecting, no problems typing on it at all.
The phone is definately DUAL SIM as there has been some confusion. The two sim card slots are on top of each other.
The GPS works great, I just went snowboarding and used alpine replay to record my tracks with both my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the CDS CD1000 / Chigon A720 and the results are very similar. Neither device lost GPS position. Out of the box the GPS took almost no-time to get a fix.
The speaker seems OK, music was listenable to, but suffers from the usual lack of bass as every phone I've ever had has done, no suprise there.
I made a call using Skype and CSipSimple and the person on the other end could hear me just fine.
My regular 3.5mm headphones fitted without issue.
The wifi and bluetooth worked just fine, i could connect to my home router and pair with my other devices quickly and easily.
The device came with Android 4.0.4 and had the Play Store already installed along with AppCloud, a chinese app store. I disabled the latter without issue.
Everything I've run on it so far has worked perfectly.
Very happy with it so far, total bargain for the money - however bear in mind i've not tested the dual sim functionality yet. I will post again once i've had the chance to test it.
hi;
my phone arrived last night. I have a problem. my phone's flashlight is very weak. it does not take any photographs in the dark. Even the display light is better than flashlight. there are no images in the darkness. all of the cd1000 are the same or my phone is defective? can I improve light intensity with any programs. how can I fix or repair? if I take a new flashlight led, have be compatible with the phone? does it work? Is there someone who can help? sorry for my bad english.

Just following up on this thread now I've had the phone for a while.
Had no issues with the phones, it's still working great. I have installed a french SFR and a UK GiffGaff SIM card in the phone, one card in each slot. The dual sim functionality works great. Both sim cards are on-air all the time.
The battery life is great. I leave wifi and 2g/3g on all day and it's fine.
It also survived an accidental drop onto a wodden floor from hand-height just fine with no scratches to the casing.
Overall I'm still very impressed by the device. It's a total bargain.

Hi all,
i have the phone here now and have tried to get GApps installed but i can`t get it fixed. I have also installed the latest PlayStore but that immediatly quits when opened. For this i found we need the GoogleFramework that is inside GApps. But how do i install this ?
I also found a guide that said to extract all the *.apk`s from the downloaded gapps zip and then copying them to the device and then manually install them. Doesn`t work. It just says: App not installed.
Do we need Clockwork Recovery Mod to get into recovery or is there also a "Normal" Recovery ? I tried to get in recovery mode with Power button + Volume down but then i enter Factory Mode (not recovery mode) and this has no options to install something from Zip (which Recovery Mode should have i read somewhere).
Hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction.

their official site doesn't exist anymore
are they producing this phone anymore
and there is no Jellybean for this device as i have checked
i was thinking to buy Zte V970 MTK6577 which has lower resolution and battery but comes from popular manufacturer and it has Jellybean ports already
at fist: sorry for my english. i am from germany and this will be my fist thread in english^^
please answer in simply english, so i can understand what you mean.
thanks for that.
so, i want a chine phone because prices are nice and my old samsung i9001 (slimbeam rom) died by an horse ( sorry buts its true, falling down, and horse say: I DONT LIKE IT --> BÄM) i will ever remember it^^
my broblem is -clearly- which I should take?
1. i dont want to spend more than 300€ with shipping. (a little bit over is not important)
2. i need minimum 5,5 inch (better more (phablet)) but max 6.5 inch(i am 200cm and have long fingers for one hand use as mobile phone)
3. full HD 1920x1080 is needed
4. 2gb ram
5. minimum 16gb rom
6. sd slot (max 32gb is enough)
7. changeable akku/battery (also needed to order 2 or 3 with the phone)
8. custom-rom support
/edit 9. ANDROID phone clearly^^ XD
i will use ist by work also as mp3 player for often more than 10 hours. and between in the breaks as "tablet" for videos and games. also about 2 hours by traveling to work/home. thats why i also change the battery all times, because sometimes i just have 2 hours at home and then i have to go again away for 12 hours. so in the worst case i need up to 35 hours running with max 3 batterys.
for example, i have an eye on:
THL T200
ZOPO ZP990+
INEW - i6000+
i dont know whitch manufacturer is good and hope here i can find professional help to decide the right decision.
it will be also nice, if you can show me an serious shop to order the mobile phone (and 2 extra batterys) via paypal and express sending.
thanks a lot for helping!
Take zopo zp990+

Hi
Got a European model from vmall and installed Google fit,.
It set to high accuracy mode, however it does not seem to log activity, I walked 1/4 mile and it registered nothing, I walked a mile and it registered about 0.1 of a mile.
If I have runkeeper running as well it tracks alot better.
Anybody have the same issue and know of any resolution?
I always found Google Fit weird. For instance, when you have a smartwatch connected with google fit installed too, the two devices have separate statistics. It has only been fixed a few weeks ago.
Your problem is weird anyway. I'm gonna install Google Fit back and see if I have the same problem. I'll keep you updated on the results
yes I had lg g watch and nexus 4 and it did get in a muddle, sold the watch in the end.
bought a honor 7 to replace my nexus 4, but google fit not tracking properly on the honor, might have to get rid and get then new nexus due out within a week.
Hi,
Yesterday I received the new Chuwi Hi8 Air but after some testing i'm really disappointed!
As you can see on videos bellow the Wifi is so so so poor but it's almost impossible to reach any web page and when it loads the speed don't go higher 5mbps!
https://youtu.be/hsigiJMad64
https://youtu.be/DyS9fU6QxLY
I have two Chuwi Hi10 Pro and it's not like this... they are much better!
Already open a case on Banggood and they ask me to wait until they reach the vendor to know what should I do...
Does anyone already have a Chuwi Hi8 Air that can provide some feedback? I liked the device and want to know if I should ask for a replacement or a complete refund to go to other model...
PS: I tried this on both Android and Windows, tried as well after a complete factory reset on both OS issue is the same... besides that the tablet have dust inside screen do quality check skipped this!
Regards,
Nuno Silva
Did You ask on official forum?
Yes I did... already return the item to China for a refund... waiting now...
same problem!!
i bought one from aliexpress, same problem, weak wifi (windows and android) if you are little bit away from router, signal bar is full, but not loadng a web page even, could not load FHD videos without so much buffering...(20mbps network ) very disappointed with the purchase,
now opened Dispute with seller...waiting for reply
I'm still waiting... Arrived to China last week... Don't know how much time it takes for customs to clear it...
Good Afternoon
I have at home waiting for me a new Chromebook , since ordering it i have been at odds with myself over the spec , my main concern being the processor - Celeron N3060 i believe.
I have used windows for years and have also used tablets since i got my hands on a galaxy tab back in the day .. but Chromebooks are completely new to me.
I am just after watching some NOW TV , amazon prime , Netflix together with the odd playstore game. I can only find a review on this model from youtube for the same chap so a bit one sided.
Will i be pulling my hair out with the performance ? the processor is pretty much bottom of the charts from what i can see. I know Chrome OS is supposed to be very light ... i have a fairly decent PC and recently sold my galaxytab S3 so used to fairly good performance.
The rest of the spec looks Ok , 64 emmc , 4 GB Ram , not fussed about having a full HD screen and it mimics my old lenovo yoga laptop in terms of tent mode etc.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Congrats and welcome aboard! I have a Acer book and luv Chrome os! My Microsoft notebook is permanently retired. Your going to like it...
