Hello Community,
iam using atm a OP6 with stock OS and a OP3T with Lineage OS. Right now i got 2 old phones from my family (an old Windows Phone and a Gigaset phone) and i want to experiment with them. I read thats there is an Ubuntu Touch Version out and OS distributions like Plasma OS or Tizen OS sound like they are worth testing too. All in all, my question is: What OS do you guys use for your phones at the moment ?

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
Hello dear xda users.
I've bought like half year ago this phone. Do we have any chances of getting a custom rom for this mobile phone? To be honest the stock rom is pretty limited and annoying a bit. Lineage OS would work here? Android 7.1 or 8.0? Can't see any updates from bluboo's developers.

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 everyone, I'm wondering what specs a smartphone needs to run Android 10. I got a 2015 smartphone (Umi Iron Pro), can I flash a ROM based on Android 10?

A ROM has to be compiled for your device and its specs. You can't flash any ROM as you wish. Search if any are available.
I know that but my question was different. I'm sorry for my english but if I compile a ROM based on android 10 for my phone, would it run on that phone, who is from 2015?
So I recently got myself a Snapdragon variant of the Redmi Note 4. I bought this phone because I want to use Havoc-OS and Sailfish OS. I have real experience of using Havoc-OS before on a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, but never tried out Sailfish OS. But one thing keeps cropping my mind: Is it possible for me to dual-boot between Havoc-OS and Sailfish OS? If possible, I don't want to own two identical devices for the sake of using two completely different mobile OS. I would be more than happy if I can dual-boot between Havoc-OS when I need to and Sailfish OS when I want to.
i would love to dual boot two different ROMs too. can anyone please find out how?
