Hello,
I bought a smartphone (Polaroid PROG40D) with a strange OS . It looks like Android, but I can't install Android market, and nothing exists to install any application.
So, I would like to found the complete way to format my smartphone memory , and install Android OS.
I suppose that it's possible... (isn't it ?), but it's not easy for a beginner to found the different steps to do that.
Thanks to every one who can put the light on :fingers-crossed:.
Hey guys,
I would like to buy ZenPad Z580CA - 8'' IPS - 64 GB - Wifi and it will be my first Android tablet. Can you tell me if it's "rootable" or not? And if it is, Are there any ROMs available for it?
Anyone guys?
Yes, it is easily rootable. Just follow instructions in "Zenpad S root achieved". You will need a 8gb sdcard in fat2 format to put the chainfire updated su zip file on.
I actually bricked mine already by removing bloat with titanium backup. Fortunately asus provided factory image on their web support site soi was able to restore it with root method above.
The tablet is great after you freeze thd bloatware. I kind of like the asus enhancements. I disabled lock screen and configured wake up when double tapping the black screen, could not do that on my nexus 7.
However i dont like asus launcher so i use nova launcher instead.
mulperi, thanks a lot for the info and the reply, very helpful. I have a question: you said you bricked your tablet when you tried to uninstall Asus apps, should I avoid it and try to freeze the bloatware? The SDcard should be formatted FAT32?
Titanium Backup hung when trying to restore my uninstalled system apps. So my recommendation is to forget titanium and instead use the android built in ordinary application disable. I was able to disable everything i consider bloatware, also many google apps.
Yes avoid disabling/freezing asus apps (color, ui...) and especially asus launcher.
I think the flash tools use an old version of cwm, that can only work with max 8gb sdcard formatted as fat2. At least my other 64gb sdcard was not recognized at all.
Go luck, its a great tablet!
Thanks a lot man for the help and the good advice!
Cheers!
Guys, have you tried to install xposed on it? I'm trying but I've failed so far. I get a message "Xposed int not (yet) compatible with Android SDK version 21 or your processor architecture (x68)". Any ideas?
I succeeding in installing xposed-v79-sdk21-x86.zip using temporary cwm recovery. Before rebooting remember to clear cache and dalvik cache. Then install xposedinstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
Now it has been a year the tablet is rooted but still nobody has thought to port a new rom. It's a shame, because it is a good tablet but even rooted, Marshmallow sucks and the tablet has a lot of lags. Furthermore, I have been seeing to buy a new tablet, but I realize that the specs of the new ones, are not that different than the specs of this one. So, I'm asking to those great creators of Lineage OS, who ported the Z380 could you please port the Z580CA? thank you in advance
So I have a tab 2(not sure which version as I dont have the box anymore) it's a pt3110 or 3100, which i have installed umbuntu(I think) on a while back, I dont have any backups anymore as I have deleted a lot of stuff from my pc but I wanted to re-install android on the tablet as I wanted to use the tab.
I have looked on the web but I could only find tutorials on how to UPDATE the tablet but as it has been wiped clean updating is pointless(right?).
The version of android doesn't matter as long as the tablet can be used again.
regards
I've got an X89 Kindow with Android 4.4 on it, and I was wondering if there was any way to bump it up to something more recent. I thought I'd found an updater, but it turned out to be nothing but an ad-spam app that only seemed to exist to show me advertisements.
Any advice?
Advice is don't use it. It comes with spyware installed. There are some tutorials around to delete the Android partitions and just use the space for Windows. Sorry dude, I have the same tablet.
Hi,
I have the LG G W100 watch. I'm using the latest Wear OS on my cell, and I can't update all the watch faces. I did research and found out I may need an older version of Wear OS. I want to install it on my old Samsung Galaxy player 5.0. It's using an older android version, gingerbread. I'm not very familiar with android hacking or troubleshooting.
Basically, I need an older .apk for Wear OS, that I can install on the Samsung Galaxy player 5.0. I went to apkmirror.com, but there is so much crap there, I can't seem to know how/what to download, let alone know how to install it. I know with .apk, you just press it, and it goes thru the install process. I tried doing that but I got an error. So I don't know if I downloaded the correct .apk from the site, or some junk file that's part of the advertising of the website.
Can anyone help?
If that's not complicated enough, many years ago, I rooted the Galaxy player 5.0. So I don't know if that complicated the process.
Tell me the APK you need and I'll try helping.
