[Q] Custom ROM for Gigaset QV830 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
Has anyone of you started any work or done any research on this cheap, but good tablet?
I'm willing to create a custom ROM for it, but I'm quite new in ROM making area, although I have experience with Linux, software development, etc.
So first of all I would need to root QV830 somehow, then copy current ROM, as there are none available to download, and then play long time with, say, Android 5.1 version and get it working on QV830, if possible.
This thread could be like knowledge base for this device or something.
Where would you recommend to start looking for rooting solution? I could try to create my own rooting app/procedure since I couldn't find anything for QV830 on this matter.
Thank you!

Hi,
I just bought a second-hand QV830 and I am in the same situation as you, wishing to get a custom ROM at hand.
So I thought about making a custom ROM but this is obviously a huge amount of work, especially if you have no experience in that.
From what I understand, one to compile a kernel with the right config. CM seems to have kernel for every device. I don't know if it's just different config or patched ones. Then integration of CM/android.
As for rooting, I simply used framaroot and choose Boromir, I think. Done ! I didn't even fear to brick it as I guess it just works or not. Am I wrong ?
To get a backup of current ROM, you just need to install a custom recovery like CWM with may be RomManager (?) (You don't even need root)

Thank you, zebul666 I managed to get the tablet rooted with Framaroot and Boromir setting, just as you said, but I'm still struggling to backup the current ROM. ROM Manager reboots into boot menu, but there are no backup options, only reboot device and reset ones.
Flashify app backs up current kernel and current stock (both weights 6.0 MB).
Also tried to copy /system folder with ES File Explorer with root permissions, but it always stops copying on run-as file.
Will keep trying, but if/when I will succeed, I have no clue what I'll be doing next

I understood that if you flash CWM with ROM Manager, this new recovery should enable you to make the nandroid backup. Has it failed for you or you did not do it ? I have not.
Now that you have root, you can already directly tweak the setup without custom ROM. For example, i have removed that annoying loud sound when it boots by renaming /system/media/bootaudio.mp3
If you wan to go the custom ROM way, there is tutoriel in this forum on how to compile a kernel and customizer rom

have you or anyone else installed Xsposed framework on these little qv830?

New to this. Any way to get 5.0.2 on this gigaset
Sent from my Gigaset QV830 using XDA Free mobile app

I'm also interested in getting a more recent version of android installed.

Has anyone found anything out about installing a custom recovery yet? I think if that could be established then rom development may begin.

Yes, I have had xposed on this device and it works well but you have to be cautious as to what you do because if you happen to mess it up, the fact that we haven't figured out how to put CWM on you can't flash the xposed recovery zip. So min short yes but be careful.

Anyone figure out how to get cwm or any othe other recovery image omn this thing cause I've got a rooted qv830 that is stuck on the gigaset boot screen and can't get adb or anything to get int o it??? Any help would be appreciated!

I'm sorry for the late reply.
Yes you can flash the phone with an unbranded rom, you can even flash it with the monosim rom, if you don't want the dual sim function.
Yes I know a lot of people who did it (they liked the phone features bu they don't need the DS functionality.)

Well, ONE TOUCH Upgrade S 2.8.0 says that my soft is up to date so it didn't flash anything. What way of flashing did you mean? Nandroid backup or flashing with a tool. And do you know a place where to find any ROMs?
Thank you for reply
any thread on this phone?
Anyone has a rom for this phone? I can't use upgrade S coz it says I have latest ROM available... Is there any workaround for this ?
Hi, anyone can give me the folder "/system/app" of OTS it's urgent ...
Thanks beforehand.
I'm uploading...
Why do you need it ?
system/apps from One Touch Star:

I deleted some app by inadvertently and I haven't notifications...
Thank you for it but for the moment the server is full. :cyclops:
PS: Can you give me your "/system/build.prop", mine is so changed.. ?
Mine is also heavily changed... I can share it anyway but like tommorow (you should remind me via PM).
One guy should have sent me the clean prop but still got no message from him ...
Can anyone confirm for me they have been able to successfully install a custom recovery (like clockworkmod) or a custom ROM onto this phone?
I am looking to get a phone for 6 months of international travel coming up and this one or the One Touch Mini seems perfect. (I like this one better though cause it has an AMOLED screen = better battery life )

Ok well I installed CWM and rooted my phone. I went ahead and got this one. Let's see what's cooking...now if only I can get that boot.img...
I am very happy to report I have created a flashable rom(via CWM or TWRP) which is essentially the same as the default rom on the star, but it has some of the junk apps alcatel pre-loads on the phone like game-loft removed and SuperSU installed.
I created it by getting the firmware.info file for our device, creating a custom update-script (getting the correct partition mounts from the firmware.info) using some pointers from DorianX's AOTI Lite Rom update-script, taking the system directory and boot.img from a nandroid backup after a factory reset, and getting the custpack directory by using a root file explorer to copy it to my sd and subsequently my computer editing the custpack, and finally packaging it together via dsixda's kitchen.
I am still working on slimming it down a little more as there are apps in /system/ that can be removed as well, but I just wanted to see if creating a custom ROM was doable. And it seems it was after 3 days of experimenting
Also got rid of that default hideous white theme by changing a setting in the build.prop.
I can upload it if anyone would like me to.

[ROM] Lenovo a760 clean android rom wanted

I'm looking for a clean android multilanguage system without china applications and letters for lenovo a760. Have anyone tested customs ROMs for this phone? Android system which is installed on the phone is not userfriendly and I have a problem with many applications and Aero.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434453 Try to root with this method. Remove ONLY HAVIEST CHINESE SYSTEM APPS, we still don't have a rom to flash if we delete important stuff by accident. . Use more locale 2 until maybe a ROM is developped. As an alternative market use www.1mobile.com
When I get my phone I will try to build a rom for it. I kind of know how to do it...never built one before though Any help would be appreciated
Any update on this? I've been searching for days to find any sort of modification for the a760 but to no avail.
I like the current stock rom, however some apps are in Chinese and i would like for these to be translated so i can use them.
I'd also like the latest firmware, i downloaded it several times via the OTA updater but it just sticks on 100% and if I try to access the file through the file explorer it says it's corrupt.
Thanks.
Sent from my Lenovo A760 using xda app-developers app
Once I receive it i'll start experimenting I should get it in about 1 week I guess...
I've managed to download the latest firmware for my a760 I downloaded it from my pc as when I did it on my phone it hung at 100 %
However I don't know how to install it. It's currently in the googleota folder (where the phones OTA updater downloads it too) but nothing happens in system update menu in settings.
I've tried to flash from stock recovery using sdupdate but it says no file found.
Do I need to rename the zip? Or move it elsewhere? I've had it on the root of the sd too.
I'll be more than happy to share the file with you so you can tinker with it, just let me know if you want it. However I'm guessing the majority of it will be Chinese like our current rom.
Thanks
Sent from my Lenovo A760 using xda app-developers app
Right considering this is the only thread on xda in regards to the a760 I will list my problem here.
I download the ota update, I couldn't install it via the phone so I flashed it through Cwm recovery, it worked and put me on the latest version, however I think I may have pressed a few wrong buttons in Cwm as it was in Chinese and i installed it blind using previous knowledge of Cwm from other devices,
Anyway the phone is operational but the new version won't allow me to use anything Google, not sure if this is fault of my own or the Chinese rom makers want us to only use their app stores.
Each time I open play store it just closes instantly, not FC it just won't load. Also when I open some apps they do FC, such as titanium backup, play services, superuser (English one) ect.
My final issue is that I cannot mount system as RW, i am rooted but still can't mount RW.
I don't know if my problem lies with the recovery image, the one i flashed before all this was a Chinese Cwm image for A706 (many reports of it working for the 706 and it did for me)
My logic is that if I can flash the stock recovery image all will be back to normal.... After the update Cwm has gone, I have android stock recovery 3e now. Any opinions on this?
Also if anyone has or knows where to get the older firmware that'd be great as I preferred it over this new one. I have asked the seller to source it for me but no reply as yet.
Thanks, and sorry for the massively long post!

i was also trying to flash the recovery but no luck.How did you manage ? I was trying to push it with adb...We have exaclty the same issues..Have you try to flash the gapps threw the recovery ?
This is wthat am trying to do..Flash the recovery in order to flash the gapps
I flashed the recovery using an automated bat file, I think basically it was just fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or adb flash recovery
I do not have Cwm any more, since I updated I lost it and ended up with stock android recovery.
I've had a 15 hour shift at work and have only just got home so haven't been able to get on the PC and try n fix it. But I will have a quick go now before I go to bed.
Can you link me to or upload the gapps? Are they the correct ones for a760? This may fix my Google issues

That's the reason I found this topic. I tried to update via OTA and it was installed other system completely chinese and without google play, for this reason, i'm afraid to try to update again...
This update: A760_1_S_2_001_0133_130828 (418MB), but I don't know if it'll install the chinese firmware without google play or not...
I also installed it and it gave me too many problems. It's more Chinese than the current rom and would not support anything Google. Gmail / play store / play services all blocked.
My advice will be to stick with the firmware u have at the moment and wait for someone to modify it. Or have a try yourself. The link a few posts back will restore ur device if anything goes wrong

OK, here are a few thoughts that can help you....
1. Are you aware of Knox? If yes, then good. Because installing custom recovery on your device will trip the Knox security fuse on your shiny new phone. If no, please read the thread entitled something along the lines of "survey for those who tripped Knox," and the thread devoted to rooting and not tripping Knox.
2. What is your software version? Please show your about phone screen (settings, general, about device). If you're not on the latest firmware, we'll get you there.
3. Your general trajectory of things once on the latest firmware version NC5 and you're OK with tripping Knox, which your question implies, should be...
-->Install recovery (TWRP or PhilZ CWM), latest versions can be found in the original development forum and Android development forum, respectively. Both are outstanding, none is best, neither is cross-compatible. Pick your poison.
-->Install a pre-rooted rom or just root your phone.
-->Have a blast
In closing, I highly recommend choosing a TouchWiz based rom before you flash any AOSP based variant, mostly because these will give you the closest to familiar feel without losing features.
There is no best except that which you like most.
Please report back with the info requested herein and we can block and tackle this, with the incredible resources hewn and stored here on xda.
No reason to depart from these fine forums to do that which is rightly done and freely available only here.

I would suggest as micmars has said you do a little reading on KNOX first. Then to get your feet wet, if you decide to go ahead and root your device. I would go with rooting the stock rom in your phone first, then add a custom recovery ( TWRP or PHILZ CWM ) . I run PHILZ CWM works great and its easy to use. Now once its rooted you can disable KNOX and remove the extra apps that you are not using that clog up the operating system ( OS ) of you device. This is called BLOATWARE go to this XDA site to get lists of safe to remove apps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770729 . Once you have done that now make a backup of your slimmed down De-Bloated OS. Now your ready to go and start installing custom roms, and if doesn't work out you can always recover your backup and get back to square one. Then try a another rom till you find one you like !!! :fingers-crossed:

OK so is it not recommended to use the all in one than and what is the latest version on these devices. Are there the same recurring issues with these as the n2 where once you update to the latest version bootloader you can't go back I.e. on n2 you couldn't downgrade to mk4 once you booted into the ne2 bootloader

[Q] Vietnamese FPT tablet Wi-Fi III

hi boys - may I ask, is there any better ROM for this device than stock one ? is anybody familiar with this brand of device ?
many thanks
I've been looking for a better rom too. Currently managed to root it, but while trying to build CWM from source, I managed to brick it pretty hard. I've tried restoring using a combination of PhoenixSuit, DragonFace, and anything else I've been able to find/build, but currently don't have it running again. If you find anything like an official stock recovery image or a working CWM/TWRP port, I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks. I already dumped the fw from a coworker's tablet, but it hasn't helped as much as I was hoping. If I manage to recover the tablet, I'll be more free to experiment with building the recovery and then possibly a clean build of 4.4. However, it's still a big IF.

Need help making a couple choices

Hey guys, so the last phone I rooted and had a bootstrap on with custom roms was the Motorola Droid x2. We couldn't even get into the kernel. So with that being said I've acquired super user on my g3 months ago to freeze apps. But now I don't depend on my phone like I did then for work. So I want to do the whole thing and I'm unsure what choices to make. I'm not looking for a guide for installing stuff (at least not yet ) just trying to get suggestions and hopefully good recommendations.
So here's the main point for the post
TLDR!!!!!
Current android version 5.0.1
kernels- unlock it? Change it? Not sure what all you can actually do with that.
Bootstrap- clock work mod? Or any other one can't think of names but need something to load roms
Rom for battery and power- cyanogenmod is what I use to run on the x2 not sure if it's still one of the best?
Anything else I missed that I should get and check out?
Thanks in advance
Put TWRP custom recovery on your phone with the autorec TWRP app by @bender_007, in the General section of the non-variant specific G3 sections. Once you give the app superuser permissions it looks like it's hung up but give it 10-30 seconds because it's backing up your current recovery. Then click the button to install TWRP. Download the latest TWRP v2.8.7.0 from its thread also somewhere in the G3 sections, and flash it from your current TWRP.
I use @xdabbeb 's VS985 v2.0 ROM, which is based on the latest official LG ROM, build 35B, based on Android 5.1.1. Very happy with it, very smooth and great on battery.
I haven't heard the term bootstrap with regards to custom recoveries. I'd suggest just calling them custom recoveries.
Thanks for your input it's been a while after I read it I was like yep it's custom recoveries lol thank you again
