Hey guys I'm new to flashing ROMs and xda developer thread so I apologize in advance for any blunders about where to post this.
I've got a few questions.
1) Can I install the stock ROM of a device made by the same manufacturer as my phone ? The purpose being getting the latest android version. Given that the device is almost identical to my mine. The only difference is in terms of RAM, Camera and the number of cores of the cpu. Otherwise the cpu architecture is the same.
2) if yes, will I face performance issues since the processor of the target device is slower?
3) if not, is there a way to port its operating system manually to be compatible with my phone ?
My device : HTC 626g+ running android 4.4.2. 1Gb RAM OCTA core 1.7 GHz cortex A7 processor. Mediatek chipset. Mali 450 MP4 GPU
13 MP main camera. 5 MP secondary.
Device I want ROM of : HTC 626s running android 5.1.1 upgradable to 6.0.1. 1.5 GB RAM.
Quad core 1.1 GHz cortex A7. Snap Dragon 210 chipset.
8 MP main 2 MP secondary.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys I just got the android one varient Infinix hot 2 X510. It cpu is the same as other sprout 4 and 8 devices.
1.3GHz quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU, MediaTek MT6582 chipset, Mali-400MP2 GPU
However it has 16gb internal storage a a 2gb ram.
Would this be considered sprout 16 and how would I port cm12.1 and other roms to this device.

I have stumbled to what seems like source code for the MT6580.
Any one with experience could you look into this and see if we can compile aosp to this android one device

It says MT6580 though

I missed that, all the spec websites said it has MT6582
Could you cpuz your processor so I can see the difference.
Do you think this would mean I couldnt port Android One Sprout 4/8 roms to this device?

Yesterday I stumbled upon what seems to be like the source code for the motherboard mt6580

What do you think now?
MT6580 for some reason uses a single-core version of the Mali-400 GPU. It's curious how it can handle 720p when there's another MTK chipset with MP2 GPU configuration but can only handle qHD screens.
Hello,
I bought a used htc. I wan't to know if it's fake or not ?

Hello,
This model is not fake. HTC make some model with MTK processors. Below some ROM :

Hi,
I recently bought a SWM8802 7 '' 2 DIN Quad Core Car MP5 Player.
I would like to flash another rom on it, unfortunately I can not find out which I can use for my unit.
Who can help me with this?
Below the specs that I know of my HU:
Model: SWM8802 Android
Type: MP5 player
System: Android 7.1
Decoder chip: MTK
GDR: 1G
ROM: 16G
CPU: 4-core, 1.3G
Version number: ALPS.LD-KK1.MP10.V1.4
Memory: 1GB DDR3
ROM: 16 GB
Android OS: 7.1 (is a lie, according to the build.prop it is 4.4.2 and according to cpu-z 5.1.1).
Sincerely,
I moved the question to Android Head Units.

Hello.
Any custom rom made a updated version with latest drivers? OpenGL v331 / Vulkan 1.1.95
Updated drivers improve system / gaming performance
Tried some custom roms but still OpenGL v2xx
I don't think at this point we'll really get any driver updates cause the SD 652 is a very rarely used chip and very few phones with this chip actually got any update till Nougat, let alone Pie.....couple that with the fact that we don't have the official latest kernel sources by Le Eco / Qualcomm, I would say that getting driver updates is next to impossible......then comes the other hardware limitations.....I would even be happy if this phone gets an android Q custom Rom update, hence ending it's lifespan with 5 major android OS updates.....But if any devs want to develop new drivers then I guess that's a completely different story....but unfortunately right now that's not the case.....

Thanks for answering...
I think Adreno 510 it's not an old GPU.
For example, Adreno 506 supports new drivers and received a updated port, maybe some developer can port it for 510 too :fingers-crossed: will be a good thing to all custom ROMs
Hello to all,
For t715 with Exynos processor, it is a 64 bit ROM on XDA?
I don't find any thread with...
Anyone know about this?
I appreciate any feedback.
Hello,
While the Exynos processor is compatible with 64bit instructions, Samsung never enabled it from the kernel. No device with this processor was ever released with a 64bit version of the kernel, thus, all custom ROMs are forced to use what's currently available: 32bit ARM instructions.
Since the processor first got used inside the Galaxy Note 4 (which was launched on Android 4.4, before Android supported 64bit instructions) Samsung had to use a 32bit kernel. It was not worth the extra effort in rewriting the entire kernel from the ground up just to make it compatbile with 64bit instructions. And now here we are, 6 years later.
Hope that cleared up any question you might have had left. Have a nice day!
