Hi,
I have a Micromax Dual 5 (E4820) smartphone. The phone hardware is actually good. However, there are certain software things in it that I am concerned about. It will be great if someone could provide some solutions/details.
The thing is, this phone is actually a rebranded version of a Chinese smartphone "Qiku 360 Q5" and it has an Android Chinese OS (Marshmallow 6.0.1) version which is called as 360 OS. It seems that this OS has been developed by Qihoo 360.
I came to know that this OS has a malware but I am not 100% sure. Here is the link to the actual post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...inge-ad-system-application-on-mt6735.4208933/
Now the things I need help with:
Does this OS really have a malware?
When I connect this device to the PlayStore, the app automatically updates itself. In normal Android version there is an option to uninstall PlayStore updates by going to App Info section. However, the 360 OS doesn't show the three "..." dots at the top right corner. Is there any way to uninstall the PlayStore updates?
I actually did not like the 360 OS and its UI at all. Hence I thought to replace it with a custom ROM which is closer to normal Android OS. I searched for it on the XDA forum but couldn't find any that can be installed on this device. Is there any Custom ROM available for this device?
If there is no Custom ROM, is there any way to replace the default Settings app that (comes with the 360 OS) so that I have more control on the APPs and their settings and permission ?
Can this phone be Rooted safely to have more control on this device and apps?
It will be great if someone could shed some light on the above mentioned things/issues.
Thanks in advance.

Hello XDA Community,
long time not see..., anyway, i just learned how to root, customized my phone with PussyFap2.5 (Custom Rom) to look like the Android Lollipop 5.0.1 Update. And there one little problem starts to begin. I have the exact same phone, you can call it Mircomax A104 or just Canvas Fire 2. My Android Version was 4.4.2 since i got the Phone. The only problem was, that it had NEVER any Android Update. So i just googled a little bid and found this Custom ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-*****-fap-v2-5-fire-2-t3104349).
My Questions
1. When i go to Setting --> Android Version it say's "5.0.1" and on Model Number "Android One", so my question is, is my Version now still the same (4.4.2) or is it really 5.0.1, cause I don't think so (just a Custom ROM). About the Model Number we dont need to talk :laugh: it's still the one and only A104.
2. On the Original ROM, so when i got the phone fresh out of the package, Vanilla Android 4.4.2. It had on Settings --> Keyboard and Input --> an Application where there was 20 Indian Languages. But ufortunately I dont know it's name or anything about it. I want only this App and no other like Swiftkey, or a cheap App on the PlayStore, because this Keyboard was so good.
3. I found a lilttle "HINT" on question 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5g9WihZf0Y This guy uses this Keyboard, whats it's name please?
Sincerely
Los Kirat
Use Xperia keyboard its simple and easy to use and also has various features in it
Well hello XDA community members and enthusiastic developers.
Well I flashed the ***** FAP ROM v2.5 for Micromax A104 and there are some problems.
1.the touch interface is working opposite. I.e if you touch on the down right then the notification bar pops out.
Any fix for this issue
Please let me know
Hi There,
I've just got one of these Chinese phones and the stock ROM is terrible, has anyone else had one and put a better version of Android on it? For some reason it is forcing me to install certain apps from some random website rather than the Google Play store, and also if I do manage to install an app it puts the icon in a little box rather than displaying the correct icon. It would be nice to get Cyanogen Mod on it but I can't find it in their supported devices list, I'm hoping that as with most of these Chinese devices it's just a generic device that has been re branded by Xgody and therefore compatible with Cyanogen.
Cheers

Hi all
I have a Tecno Spark 5 kd7s, which I now immensely regret buying.
I bought it after hearing a sales pitch from the lady, even so the specs are still impressive, and I love the camera.
Only thing, is HiOS (on which the Android system is based) is filled with adware, and bloatware, and there is no way of uninstalling the apps. The phone is sluggish, and certain apps simply crash. If there would be a way to remove this rubbish HiOS, and install a generic version of Android. If that was possible, this phone would be an incredible device, I've just had it with HiOS
If anyone is able to assist, it would be great.
Thanks in advance.
GSI (Generic System Image) is what you are looking for.

There are GSI(generic system image) ROMs, but they are built specific to your hardware architecture. Find out what your device's CPU architecture is and then try finding GSI ROMs for that CPU architecture.
Some devices require some modification before they can install a GSI ROM, you'll have to do some researching to discover whether or not you need to do anything to prepare your device to be compatible with the GSI before you try installing the GSI.
GSI ROMs themselves are "generic", but that doesn't necessarily mean that it works on all devices with the CPU architecture that it was built for and the process of installing the GSI is not necessarily the same for all devices.
Hello,
I have experience on building Android app and system app but now I wish to try to build a new ROM to update my device.
I am using a Chinese GPS device (GPS, sound, led, 4G) with Android KitKat. I have the ROM , can add/remove apps in the ROM but it's not enough, I wish to upgrade Android
I am a bit lost in what can be done or not.
I think it's not enough to build an Android ROM because it's necessary to have the drivers, I should be able to retrieve the drivers from my current rom ?
Anyone can give me some leads, maybe recommendations about how to start ?
If it can help, the chipset is SL8521E
Dear All,
I am using Color OS 13.0 official version and I installed the Android Auto app but when I plugged wire in to my car it said as the pictures and it doesn't work even I choose File Transfer / Android Auto or anything else.
How can I fix it???
There are two solutions.
One is to root your phone and make Android Auto an native app. I don't have the details but you can google and find it.
The other one is to flash Oxygen OS.
thank you @peteve
Finally I came back to Google Pixel ;P
