Hey everyone! I am Ryan and I just came across this thread when googling some android related questions. I like to tinker around with old electronic devices in my free time and find ways to get use out of them.
My current project is to see what I can do with these 32 inch context media tablets that run an old version of android 4.4. I discovered how to sideload apps but would like to upgrade the android version if possible to expand the possibilities.
Wish me luck!
Ryan
good luck bro !
also plis xperiment on stb zte B760h (switch powe button model) which android 4.4.2 installed. I have no succes to unclock it so far.

Hi guys.
I'm a product manager at a UK based electronics company. We have a new Android Tablet launching in Feb, and are very keen to work with an Android developer to customise the UI and develop some custom apps.
The device will have the following basic spec...
8" capacitive transflective display
256MB RAM
8GB Flash
Front facing camera
Android 2.1
3G
If you are a freelance developer, or looking for a full time role please reply with your details.
Many thanks

Well this is a very old thread, but still I am posting in here, so as to be in touch for any future opportunities.
I have been working on Android application development since 4 years, and looking for any such freelance opportunities.
Thanks
I'm sure this question has probably been answered, somewhere, but it's proven impossible for me to find locate a definitive answer. There are so many different variables.
For the love of all that is good, would somebody please lay it on me: am I SOL or is there some slim ray of hope that I can downgrade my device so that I can use Towelroot? This latest time I've found a little new material so dumped 3 hours chasing down dead ends to no avail.
There are so many half assed or antiquated tutorials out there, many of which weren't carried out by their creators or they'd have found they missed a step. One points to chainfire downloads but the 870A is not supported. Geh.
Thanx for whatever help you can give me!
Has anyone got a guide to rooting a s5 active on android 5. The at&t software is driving me nuts especially the TV remote. Has anyone got a guide to rooting a s5 active on android 5.
The at&t software is driving me nuts especially the TV remote it's hideous and sits in the background.
Many thanks

Unfortunately we don't have an experimental firmware to flash on the Active. This is preventing us from developing a reliable and safe rooting method at the moment.
There's a small chance you'll have some success with Kingroot on Lollipop, but (as with all chinese one-click root things) Kingroot is very sketchy and I would factory reset before trying to use it, since it is known to send data to China.
Sorry we can't be of much more help The actives have always been significantly harder to root.
Greetings nerds, proud geeks, smart pc-freaks and talented tinkers,
i guess my question is pretty easy to answer for all of you ^^;
but a friend of mine told me about dxa so.... i will try to give it a shot.
i already browsed the forum for a answer... but sadly couldn't find one.
so a link to "the site the girl can't find" would also be great ^^;
buuuut my question:
i got a sony Z5 compact and want to use my old samsung galaxy gear (first gen i guess ^^).
buuuuut i don't want to use the galaxy gear os from samsung.
is it possible to use android wear on this device?
i was browsing trough the forum and only found roms about lolipop and kitkat... or is this "andriod wear" as well?
i thougth this is a seperate os for gears...
my first try (i guess pretty stupid) simply downloading the app android wear and was trying to connect it with my z5... sadly it always says: updating... but don't move on...
so i guess i need to install another rom on the galaxy gear?
is this necessary? possible? and when yes how? ^^;
thanks in advance :3
love
acy <3
It is currently not possible to use android wear on the Samsung Galaxy first gen. Someone has been trying to develop it and is still trying to work out all the bugs. Which is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ip-android-wear-lollipop-galaxy-gear-t3341116
(This above is an incomplete OS) (It is still a work in progress)
If you want to use your gear with your Z5, try using this guide and installing all the apk files inside the zip and see if it works:

Ebay App no longer work on android 4.0.4, I haven't updated Android because if it work why fix it...
I have alway used ebay on my Mobile phone, but till Monday all I get is update E-bay then when I do I am told
that Android 4.0.4 is no longer compatible.... your making waves on calm waters
Is there any App work around for this problem, I have had to use a webpage shortcut to my home screen.......
thank you
Update your phone
Hi @Exorcist74,
I'm with you, generally on this... if it aint broke, dont fix it. That said, most of the more updated roms are rather mature on our device now. And anything is an improvement over ICS 4.0.4. Even if ya only go upto KitKat on 4.4.4
That said, there is only 2x outcomes with this....
Downgrade the App via APKMirror and look for an older version of the App, before it refuses to run on ICS 4.0.4. And if the nag is Server side, and not built into the App...
... Then ya either gonna have to upgrade the OS on our Note... or find another device?
Hope that helps, Lister
Thanks Lister Of Smeg,
fearmongering sell's that is the bottom line..
I'm not spending large amount of money for the sake of a free app
nor take the chance of Bricking for the same app
I have been thinking of updating my android (Galaxy Note N70000 with Brickbug) but every time I research the Rom it always end up defective in some way or other, so back to why fix it if its not broken...
Thanks again Lister for the good advice...

Unfortunately, some important apps, like Amazon Kindle, were not working anymore for me as well. I did update my android system, and in case you're willing to try the updating route, I can testify that retired developer bauner has made a fantastic job on our good old N7000. I installed Phil's recovery, then installed his 7.1 (!) rom and the appropriate gapps, and I am very satisfied with the result so far. He also made and maintained 5.X and 6.X versions which are maybe even safer. He's bravely fighting planned obsolescence, and competently so. I did have to resize my partitions following his guide so that there would be enough space for the upgraded OS before installing it.
I find that it's also easy to find parts for the phone at a very cheap price on aliexpress, so I see no reason why I should stop using it in the next few years.
Hey all, I recently get my hand on a Lenovo IdeaPad A10 (S/N UB02130810). Obviously it's quite an old device already, but it's in a really good shape and I may find it quite useful on my daily routine.
However, it's currently running an Android 4.2 and I was curious if there is a way to manually update it/install from scratch any new version, preferably Android 10 I think.
A friend of mine tried to look for something online but couldn't find a definitive answer or solution in how I could do that, so I though I may ask here, I hope I chose the right thread, my first time posting here
