Is there a way to get a different ROM on MT6589T device - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I bought this phone fro china it seems to be a decent phone, but I can't help it when it comes to the software. This phone is called Lenovo s820T( of course it is a reproduction) but is there any chance to get other ROM on it? Because the Hardware has some potential:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And this is a snap of a section 'About phone'
Original ROM is not really stable, after using camere in HDR the phone reboots ant etc. I have some experience with Android, but when it comes to these kind of devices which do not have certain model, I am totally new . I would like to know from where to start (phone is rooted).

Help needed
I think I bought the same equipment right if the friends of the forum can help, I would be grateful.

There really is no where to start as most of those companies never release the kernel source code. So not a lot you can do. Not to mention they are known for lieing about the hardware

Time to petition them to make one for the best phone ever!
I'd be willing to pay in excess of $100 for that! (AUD)
Post you comments and / or email your interest.
The Touch HD is almost identical size to the 3G iPhone so perhaps they may produce one for us too.
Don't bother putting a xenon on one of the worst camera phones aka iPhone.
3. Is it available now? Where can I get it?
Snapture Flash is still a prototype, and Snapture Labs is actively seeking manufacturing partners to bring it to market. We are taking pre-orders now, you can sign up today and we will reserve one for you.
Looks like you may have a long wait as they haven't even made one yet !!

Can anyone compile libskia.so or libharfbuzz.so for Atrix?

SO here's the problem! CM7/Gingerbread cannot render Bangla/Tamil/Hindi and a handful of other languages. However, when Samsung released their smartphones they specifically compiled those two for their devices and that could render Bangla/Hindi/Tamil.
Let me explain clearly. The Tamil character "தி" is a conjunct of two characters and instead of getting displayed as "தி", it will be displayed as "த ி" without space in between. So we can't read anything on facebook/twitter. Only way is to use Opera Mini which everyone doesn't like.

The solution is simple in my mind. Just to take those libskia.so or libharfbuzz.so from any Samsung Specific firmware (Suppose Y Pro Duos: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-B5512&pcode=INU#firmware) and compile them for our Atrix.
It can be done in my thought. As Krystian/Epinter/mmountouri already have done so much advanced work! However, if this problem is solved, it'll be a huge milestone for Asia specific countries because 50% of the majority still use Gingerbread. And if I get the support, I will need JB a bit less.

Alcatel pixi 4 "6" defect: Black screen after flashing a custom ROM

Hello guys, My phone's screen stays like this (see image below) every time that I turn it on since trying to flash a custom ROM. The phone is fully operational(receive messages, calls, etc...) the touchscreen seems to work despite I can't see anything. I've tried reinstall the stock ROM several times but nothing seems to work.

Yestel P30 upgrades or alternative ROMs

Hi,
I recently got a hold on a "Yestel P30". Nice perfs for a really, really cheap price.
Here is some technical information on the device.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, I'd like to update the beast (latest security updates puzzle me, Android 9 or even 10 ould be nice), or even better, switch to LineageOS.
Does anyone know if that was done before? I see no company website/forum or no info regarding anything close on the web.

The settings menu that you show doesn't look like Android 8.1 i t looks like Android 6 (maybe 5).
This phone is not legit with its Android versions, sorry that it happened.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, you mean they somehow counterfeited the Android Version variable?

Noob Question: U5 or U6?

First of all, this is my first post, so hello all and good to meet you
I've been browsing this community for a while, and in my travels I come across these two numbers: either U5 or U6. I've searched my phone settings far and wide but I have no clue where it is or how to find it. Doing a search here or on Google hasn't come up with any results yet either.
Most people who talk about these numbers seem to just know, and it's making me feel mighty silly (which I most likely am)
Thanks for taking the time to click on and answer my question, it's much appreciated
First of all,
Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information
Then look for Baseband Version and you will see a number after U or after S.
I have attached a picture showing the same.
Hope this helps...
