So I just got this tablet as a cheap add on to my phone contract with EE in the UK. I've searched the internet and the XDA forums and can't find a specific place where any developers working on ROMs in the same way I have had with all of my Samsung phones in the past.
Is there any hope for something like linage 14.1 or just a stock 6.0 or 7.0 ROM for this tablet with TWRP?
I can see that it has a Snapdragon 615. Is there something about this that's hard to develop for or is it just that not many people have the tablet?
Any respone would be helpful. Thanks!
I join in here. Same situation for me.

Hi Everyone,
Not sure if this is the right place (did not find a specific ZTE tablet forum - but i guess all the chinese tablets are pretty much the same).
I recently got this device, It's pretty nice, not strong or anything (like the nexus 7 i initially wanted) but it was given to me for free.
My only problem with the device is the operating system version, android 4.2, I have also nexus 4 device and going back to 4.2 feels a bit how to say, laggy, old fashioned.
Can someone guide me please / link and also explain if it's possible somehow to get this tablet to android 4.4 or even 4.3.
Thanks you very much,
Anyone knows maybe? even a general answer not only to the zte tablet, regarding the chinese tablets and firmwares.

I am hacking this same tablet right now. ZTE is just a clone brand. Really, it is a Rockchip rk3188 processor, and some GPU. I hope this helps you find the right ROM. The bootloader is already unlocked, so that's not going to be a problem. Download this to identify your HW further:

Best of luck!
Hello to all my beloved developers of XDA. I am here with my request to please get a general procedure of porting lineage OS ROM for Snapdragon 210 processor installed on them it will be of great help and Snapdragon 210 is one of the most reliable and cheapest LTE processor that has created a storm in the below 5K market like India, Bangladesh, Argentina, etc.
Honestly speaking I own a l y f flame 8 model having Snapdragon 210 and lollipop install on board point so I request if somebody has developed anything like TWRP recovery for this model is also appreciated to submit his ideas or developed files in this thread
So is there anyone looking at the post interested to develop a ROM for our device, the suggestions are also welcomed
Since the commencement of this forum on XDA it is likely to see that the newer devices are the devices which are lacking a very good and good user base and having trouble time to find out the right developer for it but Snapdragon 210 is not a problem that needs to be explained it when you, as it is very popular chipset. Still I am surprised to see that even after so many days of opening the form I am not getting a single response from the people on XDA I am very disappointed about it
Same 2 me i have a lyf flame 8
Me also I have also lyf flame 8
Dear reader,
After many year or lurking XDA and flashing countless phones I have finally create an account! I quickly wanted to thank everybody here in the community to allow me to get most out of my hardware despite phone manufacturers bloating my phones to pieces. (btw I hope I am posting this in the correct place - please correct me if I am not)
I have recently purchased the Oppo K1 (version: PBCM30) on my trip to China. I am very happy with the hardware. Dual sim, MicroSD slot, in-display fingerprint sensor, 4 gigs of ram and runs on a Qualcomm SDM660 Snapdragon 660 with a 6.4inc display. All for a bit over $190! My previous phone was a OnePlus 3.
The phone runs Oppo's ColorOS which is fairly ok. However, the pre-installed garbage has brought tears to my eyes. Out of my 4GB, over 2GB is consumed in idle state. Not to mention the battery life (although it has a 3600mAh battery).
Now my question;
Does anyone know if there is already development going on for custom ROMs for the Oppo K1. Is there perhaps a different ROM that is compatible with the Oppo K1. I tried searching the web but could not find anything.
Many thanks in advance,
Kind regards,

I have this phone for around a month now,
love every bit of it, really cool phone.
but the annoying thing is there is literally nth about it anywhere on any site,
neither this nor the Rx17 neo or R15x
I thought since they're the exact same models there should be a global ROM for the k1 as well,
but didn't find anything.
the closest I got was an Indonesian site giving a tutorial on how to root it, but honestly couldn't convince myself to trust it
I bought Oppo K1 aswell and the phone is pretty cool. But there are no ROMs at the moment in the development.
Is there any method to root the phone?

Not that i'm aware of. It should be possible to root the phone and remove the unwanted software, but I don't know which root program would be suited.
Good afternoon group I have the same team the rooting process is the following
First Connect internet on your pc
Download The Kingo Root Computer Or Pc Version Software.
After Download the Kingoroot Software Then Install the software on your computer Or Pc.
Now Download your Mobile model USB Driver And Also Install It on your Computer Or Pc.
After Complete the Installing all software on your Computer Or Pc.
First Your mobile Power On.
Then Need Mobile Battery Charge 80%.

Hi friend,
Thanks for the suggestion. I researched KingoRoot a little and it seems that a lot of unwanted software will be installed together with Rooting. Please consider these apps will gain full system access without the need of permissions so I am not taking the risk.
OxygenOS 9.0 for Oppo K1?
It would be neat if Oppo K1 could install a Oxygen 9.0 Gsi Rom. ColorOS is terrible. Hopefully there will be a gsi rom for it with in display fingerprint.
We need a TWRP build for it to start, there are existing builds for similar models but I'm wary of attempting to flash them on this device. Has anyone heard if the kernel source code for it has been released yet?

Same models

Oppo K1 4GB/64GB (INDIA)

Note about display: Oppo K1 is using the same OLED display as flagships Oppo R17 Pro & OnePlus 6T source | review
Any updates on this? I have the rx17 neo Europe version, which I think is the same as the k1. ColorOs is really a nightmare. Can we ask to some developer to help us with this? I think there is a little community around this phone, and is quite good, good specs and everything but the Os is garbage.
Hi All,
I'm an engineer looking to upgrade a product which uses an old Altel smartphone. I'm experienced in Unlocking and flashing. I have already done a search, but now in 2020, there may be new info.
Looking for suggestions for the best CHEAP android phone which has good custom ROM support for android 7+ (ish).
I need to use the back camera, and connect via wifi, bluetooth, or Cellular Data. It will be tested in the US, but may benefit from support for many globally common 3g and 4g bands.
One last thing. Would love to find something I can still buy a few dozen of NEW, or at least MFG REFURB.
Can anyone suggest suitable phones? So far, been considering late nexus line and early pixel line, knowing they're flash unlockable.
Thank you for reading! Apologies if I hit the wrong section of the forum.

There are no *NEW* cheap phones that have custom ROM support unfortunately. But used phone are an option : ) If you want official ROM support (Even to this day!), you can get a Samsung Galaxy S4 for 50$, an S5, Note 3 (Android 9 - 10 support!).
If you want a used phone at 100-150$, you can get a A5 2017, Google Pixel 1, Nexus 6 (Don't buy the 6p)
If you want to get a Brand new phone: Moto G7 and G6 Plus (200-250$). (Theese phones have a more complicated process of modding)
You can check the Lineage OS download Page here: https://download.lineageos.org/ Theese are all of the supported devices.
If you don't want to have any difficulties, you can get a Samsung but be careful with the variants! Get the international or Canadian variant because if you get a US variant, there are no methods of unlocking the device (except for the S5 and less) You can also get the Google Pixel, but do not buy the US variant. Same for the nexus devices...
Your knowledge and help are much appreciated.
Can you offer advice on USB OTG Compatibility with various phones on Lineage? I've had mixed results in the past with stock ROMs.

All of the phones I mentioned have OTG capability
Probably almost all phone supported by lineage have OTG. Don't worry about that.

I have 2 Samsung Galaxy S3 ( circa 2012 ) and while they are far from new, they are great phones to play around with.
I am far from experienced, but I have enjoyed flashing Custom ROM's , from CyanogenMod, thru various versions of Lineage, and now CrDroid. The newest O/S that I flashed is CrDroid 3.8.9 ( based on Android 7.1.2 - I think! ). Runs great. Stable. Long battery life. Ran ( 'right out of the box' ) without any need to install Gapps.
The nice thing is the Samsung Galaxy S3 is so darn abundant. Seems that everybody has one collecting dust in a drawer. And that means they are cheap ( as in give it away ). All the Samsung Galaxy S3 came with unlocked bootloader ( I think that is the term ) except for the Verizon model.
Icing on the cake is, a fellow from Montreal, alexenferman, is the genious authour of the CrDroid Custom ROM.
Good evening,
I've just bought Huawei Y6S, model code JAT-L41 (i think it's shared with Honor 8A).
Can't find any proper and specific guide or subforum FIR this device, should i follow any other listed for a regular y6 model?
Thanks in Advance
Just got my hands on one as well (sold in UK) and been wondering around ever since about custom roms for this model, seems its not very popular at the moment
