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

hi guys,
i'm approching now to the world of mobile OS, and i don't understand something.
i hope someone can answer to my questions
in a computer i can install an OS , ubuntu, mac os, window, debian etc
in my mobile phone can i install just an OS without apps or something else (except for default apps)?
for example can i instal just Android 4.0.4 ??
if yes, where i can find it?
and if yes, wich default apps have Android 4.0.4?
I do not think it is possible. The OS comes with hardware drivers..
If possible then anybody will able to upgrade their OS in latest android JB.
Hi I have Hi I have galaxy s plus i9001.
I have many software bugs and an old version of Android on the device.
I want to update to the newest version of Android.
For example,when I open my gallery and try to set up one of the pictures to background. it is written: gallery application have stopped unexpectedly.
How do I upgrade the operating system to the newest version of Android that would fit my device firmware?
or alternatively may i install a good rom for that, whatever that would help.
I'm really noob in Rom and all that thing.
this is why I will be thankful if you will give me a detailed manual.
Lots and lots of thanks Leeron..

Hi there,
Since its a GENERIC TABLET made by an unknown Chinese manufacturer, it's impossible to get a firmware update. The best way is for you to create a custom version of android using LINEAGE OS, and also porting a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP. But even though you have successfully created the OS you might not be able to install it on your Chinese Tablet.
Anyways if something happened during the process here's the link to download the stock firmware for that tablet :

USE SPFLASH TOOL TO install the firmware since it is an MTK device.

Yeah i started to go that route but have been unable to find a recovery for it or a lineage version for it. is it possible to use a twrp and linage for a different but similiar tablet?

Hi there,
Yeah Twrp is just a recovery software, and Lineage is just a custom ROM, so you can use it on a different tablet. But again you have to port those two software for it to work.
However you can research it on google to see how to port them on different phones or tablets.

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.
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.
