how to upgrade mashmalow coolpad 8297-L100 full step
Do you have marshmallow rom?If not you can't update your device.
Unfortunately due to the nature of these type of Android devices it is unlikely that they will receive the newer versions of the Android OS as the OEMs/Manufacturers usually ditch them shortly after the devices creation. Your best chance would be to keep an eye on this thread here to see if anything develops regarding Marshmallow

Hello
Here is a little question, is it possible to create a universal android rom.
Today, cyanogenmod allow us to have different flavour of android for many devices. But cyanogenmod is not universal and requires specific hacks for each device.
I know that Android is based on a linux kernel, that kernel should beallow an automatic detection of the devices specifications....
Moreover, Motorola initiates its Ara project. This new concept should be linked to an evolutive version of Android.
Is there anyway to see one day an android repository to upgrade and costumize your phone/phablet/tablet. With an essential package (OS) and options (launcher/Touchwiz....).
An universal evolutive OS should be a way to solve
- android fragmentation.
- security update
- Easy update without formatting your device
- OTA update for all devices (Samsung, Cube, HTC....) even for olders or chinese models

I'm not going to be the one to say its impossible but its very unlikely. Different devices use different modems, kernels, and other system requirements. The CM team may be able to come up with something like that but you won't see it anytime soon if it happens. There are some ROMs out there that are in 1 big AROMA zip file and they all have the same features but the bases meet the requirements of the specific device.

I doubt it's possibility. Different phones have different kernels/coding for hardware. All Android phones uses Linux kernel, but are coded differently, and that's why we have different/custom kernels. Phones/phablets/tablets have different UIs, which will result in larger updates. Furthermore, u said "essential package" which is hardly possible due to large file size and company issues. For example, Samsung has TouchWiz (and all it's bloatware ), while HTC has Sense (and the bloatwares ), and to stuff everything in a single ROM /Update, it's simply too much. (A update from Samsung would cost 100-300mb, and if what u say is true, OTA updates would cost 600mb~. (Take into account the stock Android launcher.)) I doubt Samsung would like this idea too. Companies like Samsung and HTC have their own launchers to differentiate themselves from others, and if consumers have a choice, they might use other launchers other than their own. (E.g. a Samsung user wants to use Sense, while preserving the Samsung hardware.) Though I would very much like to see this in the future, this is technically impossible. Hoped this explained your question.

This is literally impossible, All devices would need to be designed to perform for that rom. Not only that but not a single one of those companies would agree to it. They'd actually attempt to make their own os before doing that, and the reasoning is simple, each company is in this race for themselves not as a team effort. For this to happen would be going the route of IOS, which android is not.

Ok, so let me tell you some information about my situation first.
I recently have made a deal with a manufacturer of Android Tablets.
I want to be able to develop and add features & fix bugs and push the updates to my customers Tablets and have them be able to easily download & install them. The Tablets currently run stock KitKat 4.4 but I can always ask my manufacturer to install certain modded software (roms?)
Thanks,

Who will bring this low-end OS to our device? First?
I was gonna ask the same question. Android GO is going to be the best way to put Android O on the moto e 2.
Android Go will be more stable and lag free. It'll reduce the need to use RAM heavy OS like the newer CM Builds. I hope they release the source and builds soon so that someone can port it to Condor.
Yes I know that our device is low end it really need this type of ROM but Don't expect this ROM any time soon before Q2 2018, as this project is expected to release by 2018. So be patient and wait for Android O.
After reading into details: GO will be a flavour of O. You can get a similar setup with existing custom ROMs and microG. Only GO feature i haven't seen yet: Restriction of recents to four apps.
Hello!
I have been following annual Google I/O 2017 and heard about all the benefits of Google's Project Treble.
I cannot help but wonder how are developers (for example here at XDA) able to create custom roms or unofficial Android updates. Why Google can't make official Android Nougat update for Nexus 7 2013, but you here at XDA can. What is different between your work and Google's when it comes to these things, as far as neither has access to hardware manufacturer's code support.
I have to say I am not a professional software developer, so I understand if this topic is beyond my comprehension.
Thank you!
"Why Google can't make official Android Nougat update for Nexus 7 2013"
Planned obsolescence.
"neither has access to hardware manufacturer's code support"
Google is obliged to release kernel source code because Linux(the kernel powering Android) is released under the GPL. The kernel is responsible for letting Android "talk" to the hardware. Developers at XDA can then modify the open-source kernel to "fit" newer versions of Android.
I'd like to chime in on this.
Let's use the Nexus 7 2013 as an example. The difference between what an official build of Nougat from Google would be and what a build of Nougat from XDA is that the Google released one will have updated devices drivers that are made specifically for Nougat, while the XDA released one simply uses the older device drivers and hope they work. In some cases they work flawlessly (mostly on Nexus devices), however other times there are things that don't work so they either need to be disabled or worked around. So essentially a Google released OS has everything updated and tested to work with the new OS, while XDA releases are more 'hacked' together to work (simply because the device drivers aren't Open Source). Google may not have access to the hardware drivers, but they still get them updated.
Now let's touch on Project Treble (and why I am so excited about it). Instead of each and every device driver needing to be upgraded and tested for each new OS version, the OS version will specify which version of the drivers (HAL's) will work with the OS. This means there will be a separate space where all the device drivers will reside, and the OS will simply load those when booting (no more proprietary binary blobs to include in the ROM! hopefully...).
This means on any Project Treble compatible device (all phones that ship with Oreo, and some that update to Oreo) with an unlocked bootloader, a user can simply compile AOSP and flash it directly to the device with no modifications and have the device work. I believe this is actually a requirement to pass Google's certification process for new devices with Oreo. That means, say, with the LG v30 if the bootloader is unlocked, there can be an AOSP ROM on day one of its release.
So instead of Android being strictly a per device compile, it is just a general compile (sans device specific features). However, this doesn't remove the old driver issue. If the drivers in their respective partition no longer are updated by the manufacturer, the later AOSP code will need to be modified to work around these (and accept them). This is still easier in my opinion than the binary blobs.
As for official updates, Project Treble allows device hardware manufacturers to work on updating the device drivers while the OS Dev (Samsung, etc) works on updating their OS. So it is a parallel development instead of a serial one (hardware AND os instead of hardware THEN os).
A question.
Do the Nexus 5X devices have the Treble system or project incorporated with Oreo?
I do not understand the other manufacturers that cheaper excuses are giving, it is true that they are not obliged but I think it would be good practice, maybe they think as before that you will not buy them a phone.
Does someone make a Change.org or similar campaign to ask all Android manufacturers to make a minimum effort?
Where to find the Lollipop firmware for Huai Asсend Y210 pro? There is one search garbage on the network regarding this model. Thanks.
These custom ROMs are available for Android 5.0 Lollipop
CyanogenMod 12: The probably best-known manufacturer for custom ROMs has already announced the first Nightly versions for around 30 devices. However, the system is not yet ready for daily stable use at the moment. Especially the material design is a problem for the developers.
AICP: The Android Ice Cold Project currently supports more than 20 devices and is based on CyanogenMod. Again, these are only nightly versions.
LiquidSmooth: This custom ROM series is not yet as well-known, but it focuses on speed. Currently, more than 50 devices are supported in the nightly versions.
OmniROM 5: Currently, there is only one version for the Nexus 7, but it is supposed to run stably.
SlimRoms: The developers have announced the especially slim custom ROM SlimLP. However, there is currently no usable version available for download.
Paranoid Android 5: The development of the custom ROM unfortunately stalled a bit and will therefore take a bit longer.
Always follow install instructions for your device specifically. Otherwise, you risk bricking (breaking) your device.
