My question about my P1000:
I've used this device for 2 years now and yesterday I received my new phone (i9505).
The P1000 isn't going to leave, as I have changed my sim to a new dual sim card (for both devices... unfortunately one at a time...).
Now I want to install the P1000 into my car's dashboard, therefore I need another ROM, but there are so many to choose from!
I'm not asking for what is the BEST rom version, but:
I hope someone can tell me, what rom is the cleanest (least installed apps)... essentially I want only android (v?, what's the fastest and most stable version that Google had made so far?) and I want to use the play store, so I can install my bought apps... this to ensure nothing is installed that won't EVER be used... can anyone tell me, what ROM I can use best? (and what android version? 2.3 or 4, I know 3 is slow and the currently running 4.2 (nightly) isn't stable enough, yet...)
You can look for a forumer called RED ZMAN

He has his tab in his car dashboard.
I am sure he has some interesting input on what is ideal for car dashboard mounted tab.

Hello every one.
I'm the proud user of a HTC Touch Diamond. It has served me well since day one, and now i want to make it even better.
I need the phone to work. And i need Android (read: want). So i'm asking everyone which version do you find more stable. What i need:
Phone. Must work. Must work well. Cannot wait 20 seconds for the device to wake up (while ringing) to show me who's calling me. When i decide to pick up, the other guy gives up, or the call os forwarded to voice mail.
Wifi is a must, that sim has no data plan.
Battery, though superficial due to a 2400mAh bat, it takes alot of calls and sms's.
Market. Must work.
Camera is a bonus, helps here and there.
The rest is rest. i don't need bluetooth, GPS, or anything like that. Anything from 2.1 forward is enough. So... i'm open to suggestions.
I did this same question of the kaiser section, and was greeted with 2 very stable versions. One Eclair and one Froyo.
froyo b ver 6
it is very stable
and the 3d performance is better than the old version

I'm getting 21FPS (diam100) and 20.2FPS (raph100) with NeoCore with no overclock and camera+camcoder works great
I'm currently using that one.
Though "snappy", its quite slow. Market is a pain. (Wifi)
Takes too much time to wakeup and show the screen (i actually have to unlock to see the screen).
Looking for something else maybe. 3D isn't a must.
I've got three different Android ROMs form different developers and the fastets and most stable ROM would be http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907509
additions like camera or WiFi works fine for me.
Can someone who already owns a captivate tell me if SPP bluetooth is available as a profile in the stock firmware (2.2 I guess is the current version).
I really just need a terminal for the moment to do external system control via the phone, and I am picking which smart phone to get now, not sure I want to go the full ROM route right away... It is a little overwhelming (there are so many choices I know nothing about).
I haven't updated my SCH-I800 in a while and I notice that there is now a stable "cm-9.1.0-p1c.zip" on the cyanogenmod site but also CM10 builds (cm-10-20130714-NIGHTLY-p1c.zip) as recently as last week. The forums for the I800 aren't up right now so I thought I'd ask here if these CM10s are actually functioning well or if they have lots of missing features. And as much as I dig, I seem to only find half working ROMs or extremely experimental ones that have basic things like WiFi missing. Is there a solid stock Samsung ROM and a solid AOSP ROM that everyone uses at this mater point in this tablet's lifespan?
And is there a new method for flashing at all? Or is ODIN still the way?
Thanks!!!

I have spent the last week or so trying to get an SCH-i800 to run something OTHER than the stock gingerbread well and just haven't found it yet. The closest I got was a build of CM9 but still have sporadic reboots.
It's frustrating since the only thing I want this to do is run some OBD apps for my car. The problem is that apps detect Gingerbread and run in phone mode vs. tablet mode, wasting a bunch of screen space.
Cubed has been pretty much the only non-stock rom that didn't have FC's and random reboots. I don't even use the cellular feature of this tablet - I'd be happy just disabling the modem entirely and running on wifi if it meant it being more stable.
I'm considering just getting a Nexus 7, but the problem is that this thing would need to live in my car and I don't feel like doing that with a new tablet which is why I was trying to get the i800 to work
Got my hands - ( don't ask how ) - on what appears to be a fake S5 Mini. Everything about it says Samsung, however neither Kies nor Odin detect the phone and the specs are all wrong anyway. Attached are screenshots from Device Info and CPU-Z.
The phone actually works OK, though it's not nearly as good as a real S5 Mini. But there are several glitches in the system: some apps or options just don't work, multi-language support is deficient, etc.
Nothing surprising from a clone.
Question: is there a ROM I can try to load to that device to see if I can make it work better? I was reading up on MoKee (because of the serrano3g identifier in the model name displayed by CPU-Z), would one of those ROMs work? The phone/wifi/BT portions all work correctly, so I guess there's no need to flash a new radio. Then again, I haven't flashed an Android device in a couple years, I'm basically like a newbie at that stuff, so if anyone can provide me with information on what/how to flash, I'd be grateful.
Thanks!
neat
Any pictures of the phone itself?
SOC seems to be a MediaTek MT6572 if correct see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687487
@protogenxl: Visually, it's an exact replica of a Samsung S5 Mini, with the brandname and all. So if you check out the Samsung site, you'll find plenty of pictures there!
As for the thread you mentioned, I had already read it but I'm still not sure whether that particular ROM can be installed on my device, even though it's a MT6572 ROM. And keep in mind that I am a newbie on flashing devices, so I'm not even sure where to start, what tools to use and what I should be looking for.
Thanks for the suggestion, though!

I have a S5 Mini G8800-F, so the most interesting part would be the layout of the inside of the battery compartment, is the dead space for a second sim there etc....
I would say first order of business is getting a custom recovery installed and getting full backups of original OS in a safe place, after that should be relatively hard to completely brick it as I seriously doubt the clone company put any effort in to boot security
@protogenxl: I'll try and upload a picture of the battery compartment later today. Don't recall seeing a second SIM slot in there, though.
And I agree with you that the clone company didn't put any effort on securing the device. It was rooted when I got it, it's got one of those chinese bootloader menus (I found a video on Youtube explaining what each option means).
As for the custom recovery, should I just pick any of them or are there any recommendations specific to this chipset (or do I even have to care about the chipset at that stage)?
@protogenxl it has been to long since I messed with sisters then boyfriend's phone to get it usable but if memory serves I got a custom made version of CWM from the ChinaPhoneArenea forum.
@protogenxl: here's a youtube video I found which describes the exact device I have: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_-OoKhkD_0
It shows it with its back cover open around the 2:30 mark.
Hi, I have an old ZB450KL from 2017 that I left for another phone due to the battery dying and it being not fit anymore for my daily use. I recently just found it while spring cleaning and I intend to use it as a work-only phone after the replacement battery I ordered for it arrive.
I haven't found a single custom ROM designed specifically for the device. I assume it's due to the phone being not very popular as it's pretty weak as performance goes. However, it should work fine for me sending and receiving email and some WhatsApp. Not with the current ZenUI version installed on it though.
Has anybody found any custom ROMs that work or at least boot on the device? I don't need much, I mainly just need wifi + data to be working and a fairly recent version of Android. Everything else is a bonus.
