Hi,
I’m asking your help because i’m getting lost, i explain :
I’ve got a Acer Liquid Jade S (Acer S56) with a MT6752 CPU, it’s currently on Android 5.1 and i want to « port » higher Android from another phone with the same soc.
I already tried in august and july to build my own rom for this device but i never did it before, it was my first « rom building experiment » and nothing so far, it’s too hard for me, there is no device tree at all so ^^’
The good thing as i already said, there is a lot of other phone with the same CPU like Lenovo K3 Note, Lenovo P70, Jiayu S3 with latest android version custom rom.
I ported a 5.1 stock rom from the Lenovo P70 and it’s work (but still 5.1..) because the rom was x86 and that’s the issue...
There is a lot of rom but they are all x64 and i only got a x32 rom with my Acer (the cpu is compatible x64, strange choice from acer).
So i’m asking, how can i port if i don’t have a x64 kernel and « x64 base stock file », like lib64, it is possible ? Acer guive the Kernel Source, but for Kitkat, i’m asking if there is no way to « upgrade it » to support higher Android version and add x64 compatibility, but will it work (probably with some bug but don’t care ^^) ?
Because i don’t have the lib for 64, I know it’s possible because i look myself on lenovo website and they provide Android 5.1 x32 and not 64. Someone ported the stock rom to x64 but i didn’t find how…
Can you please help me ? I know that phone start to be « old » but it’s good for me, i’m not a Android « gamer », just want most recent android because apps starts to be not compatible with 5.1
Thanks
Any idea ?

Hi,does anyone know if there s any way to boot remix os on intel x86 android tablets? I have an Asus k016 and lollipop here is very sloooowww even with root and removed bloatware. I wish on a marshmallow update but sadly I m sure it will not happen. So it would be great to run remix os on those tablets
Is it a purely Android tablet? It may not have a traditional bootlader/EFI to be able to boot RemixOS.
Besides, i doubt that you will gain much more in terms of speed as Remix OS is also based on Android 5.1 Lollipop.
Asus K013 is commercially sold as MeMO Pad 7 (ME176C). Specification-wise, it's pretty similar to the Asus Fonepad 7 (ME372CG) that I own. I gotta admit it's somewhat surprising to see that a device with a better SoC running Lollipop poorly...guess I made the right choice by not upgrading from KitKat!
That being said, while I haven't found my KitKat tablet to be slow, it would still be nice to have features like proper multi-window support and such, which are coming to upstream Android in Android N or later, which likely won't me available for my device anymore. Hence why it'd be interesting to try out Remix OS.
On a related note, unlike the OP's MeMO Pad 7, the Fonepad series supports telephony (hence the name Fonepad); does Remix OS support any kind of telephony features at all or is it purely a PC(/tablet)-only OS?
I already tried to install RemixOS on my Dell Venue 8 Pro, but it fails to boot, because it has an 32-bit UEFI.
The 64-bit processor would work like a charme, but the the 32-bit UEFI is blocking to install 64-bit operating systems.
Very sad story...
Kit kat was faster on k016 too but I upgraded to lollipop and removed all the bloatwares from Asus. Now android is almost stock but sometimes is sloowww, almost like a nexus 7 2012 with lollipop. After the upgrade to marshmallow and with greenify ,nexus 7 is great, but sadly I think k016 will never get it.
I would like to try remix OS on this tablet because it could be a little better maybe, and multitasking on a 8" screen would be great
I want to ask that why the remix os doesnt support the tablet or smartphone because i think it can bring the android to the pc and ultratablet so why cant it bring itself to the android smartphone or tablet?
If you mean "why can't remix be made fpr arm devices?"
Then it has as RemixOS started as a arm ROM, and there are version for there own hardware (although some are stuck on 1.0); their partners and some nexus devices.
As arm is different to x86 chips remix would need to be built specifically for each arm device; whereas 1 ROM (kernel&modules) can work on many x86 chips/devices.
Hi all,
Been toying around with putting a full blown multitasking Android OS on my X8 which runs on an Amlogic S802 SOC.
I found Phoenix OS (http://www.phoenixos.com/) which supports some ARM devices as well as X86 devices.
My question is whether it will work on the X8 as it states on the Phoenix website that the only ARM devices currently supporting are the Nexus 7, 9 and 10.
Any help would be appreciated in terms of attempting to get this running without bricking the device.
TIA.

Hello,
I have an Archos 50 Helium 4g (running MIUI 7 v5.11.27 founded on ArchosLounge.net, but I have also an unnoficial CM 11 founded on ArchosLounge.net and a stock rom Android 4.3).
I want to port both CM 12.1 and MIUI 8. The Moto G 4g LTE (the 2nd generation) have the same specs (same CPU, same GPU, same RAM, same screen resolution) and CM 12.1 and MIUI 8 are available on this device.
I read a lot of guides and it's written "you cannot port an Android version higher than yours".
I dont know what do to and how can I port them (I am a newbie in ROM development/porting and I really want to do it).
Can anyone help me ? It will be awesome, thanks.
I don't know if I posted in the good section
i bought Lenovo Tab 7 Essential TB-7304I - 1GB RAM with Android 7.0 (Nougat) pre-installed. the device is too slow and i believe that the 1GB ram cannot handle Android 7.0 at all!
i searched for lower Android version (6 or even 5) to install it on this device with no success.
maybe becuase i'm not familiar with Android anyone can help me finding Android 6.x or Android 5.x that can be installed on Lenovo Tab 7 Essential TB-7304I. Or the available CUSTOM ROM if any also i would appreciate if you can suggest a page for the downgrading steps
Anyone can help!!!
No one can help me with this issue??

Any update please
Have you unlocked bootloader and installed custom recovery?
There are no custom roms for this device. Even 4pda has nothing and this tablet is popular amongst the Russians due to the price.
