Hello there,
Im using smart tv on android 4.4.4 but want to upgrade to 5.0.
Hardware is not so crap i think: Armv7 2 cores 1,3GHz, Mali-T720, 1GB ram, board manufacturer CVTE,
Branding company will not make any updates (i have spoke them).
Is it possibile to make update by myself?? Not asking is it hard but is it possible.

Hello. I'm a new here and i want to say hello to everyone !
I'm a SG2 user. My friend told me that android 2.3.5 doesn't support dual core processor of SG2 and uses only 0ne processor. Is that true? Always i was told that android 3 supports dual core processors and samsung galaxy s2 must work faster. Is there android 3 version rom on SG2? Thank you =)
Your friend has no idea what he's talking about, and Android 3 is for tablets.

Hi, I'm new here too
AFAIK 2.3.5 partially supports dual core. Android 3 is for tablets only and fully supports dual-core processors. Android 4 will be for phones and tablets, with full support for multi-core processors. We all are waiting for ICS
And android 4 is really just around the corner for sgs2 users.
Just enjoy your device. It will get the official ICS (Android 4.0) update soon as far as I know. It will be an OTA update, and you will get ice cream sandwich with no problems.
Talking about the usage of the cores requires a deep knowledge. Don't trust in everyone. Read and study by yourself instead. Welcome to the Android world, I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Hi there,
I currently own an HTC Desire Bravo and was thinking of upgrading to a china phone with a MTK6577 CPU. I haven't made up my mind which model in particular to purchase yet as I would like it to have some level of rom support in XDA. A while ago, I had bought a china tablet (P10AN01, also going by brand names: Advent Vega, Viewpad 10s) and chose this model *because* it had it's own section in the XDA forums. These china stuff is really amazing as if you choose carefully may land you a device rivaling it's more expensive branded phones at a fraction of the price.
I don't expect there will be a section for every variant of china phone as even searching for MTK6577 CPU based phones returns a myriad of phones with different specs.
I would basically like to know if it is possible to use ROMs designed from other popular (and supported on XDA) phones on a made in china phone... If so, how would i know which would work?
am I correct in assuming that a ROM for a supported phone with similar specs would likely work? for example, an HTC phone with MTK6577 CPU 1GB ram and 4GB rom would work on a china phone with MTK6577 CPU and 1GB ram and 4GB rom?
Many thanks in advance for your support
As a general question on the availability and delay of Samsung upgrades; how good is Samsung in making the latest Android OS available to legacy devices? Do they support one, two or more generations? I know that there are sometime HW constraints that prevents the owner from upgrading, but suppose that the HW supports the latest OS version?
The reason for asking is that I currently have Apple and I might consider getting an S5 but at least in regards to OS upgrades, i am a little spoiled as Apple makes the latest OS available to all devices.
Hi
Came across an article which states that Samsung will be producing a low-spec smartphone for sale in third-world countries
According to this article, the specs are quite low...with the handset only having about 1Gb memory
It also states that this handset will come out with Kit Kat, but will update shortly after release to Android L
My question is this....how is it possible they can update a brand new unit with the same specs as the Galaxy S3..., yet still remain ignorant of the S3 itself (which is most probable the most widely used handset I know of here)
Surely if they can get Android L running on this smartphone (Android One), then we could possible port it to the S3?

PS:
Even the S3's processor looks better?

Its possible when it becomes available of course. No guarantees however.

I have a Vertu Aster P Chinese clone, purchased from here https://www.luxuryvertu.cn/ProID473.html and since buying it, I've been desperate to try and update it from the Vertu-themed Android 6.0 Marshmallow that it came with.
They lie about the phone specs on their site that I got it from. It doesn't run Android 8.0 and it doesn't have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC .The genuine Vertu Aster P runs on Android 9.0 Pie, which is what this clone should have really come with, being a late 2019 phone and to stay true to the genuine Vertu. Trouble is, being a Chinese replica, and having an MTK SoC, there is no support for it. The manufacturers refuse to provide me with the kernel source code, so I'm at a dead end in terms of any Android development.
One thing I did notice is that the 'Device Info' app shows the device as being a 'gionee6755_66_m'. See the second attachment that I've uploaded. Does this mean anything to anyone? Is it the model of a specific Gionee handset? Could this be a clue as to what the Chinese clone makers based this phone off? If so, I do know of a few threads here and there on XDA related to Gionee development.
Also, in the third screenshot attachment that I've uploaded, you can see that the icons for data connection and aeroplane mode are rubbing up against each other, suggesting that someone has made a 'quick and dirty' fix to try and get both of the icons to fit the width of this phone's screen. Which also might suggest that this ROM was actually pulled from another device. Any thoughts?

Note that you on every Android device can fake its brand and/or model: you can even make it think to be an Apple iPhone 11 Pro. You also can fake its version of Android OS. What you can't (easily) change are descriptions of installed hardware components .
So one can't really say your device is a Vertu Aster P or Gionee6755_66_m or whatever.
What I think happened is that you got screwed.

I wasn't 'screwed' as such. That's a bit of a crass term. The device is of premium quality, feels as heavy as a genuine Vertu and really does look the part. And it performs perfectly fine on Android 6.0. The phone is fast and responsive and does whatever I need it to do.
That said, it wouldn't have caused them any more distress in putting Android 9.0 onto this phone. The MT6755 Helio P10 chipset that this clone has is more than capable of running 9.0. Why they didn't is a mystery to me.
