Yestel P30 upgrades or alternative ROMs - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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_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?

As in app developers, probably to get more into their market. Usually no one is too quick to help with actually getting AOSP and newer kernels working
I actually filled it out tho i am not -currently- working on an app,
the one thing that i saw that MAY look interesting is,, they were asking about ICS development. so maybe the tablet will get updated to ics over the next 6 months or so, probably when they introduce the nook tablet "2" with updated spec since the Google Nexus is supposedly due out at the end of july running Jellybean (android 4.1) with comparable specs to the current nook tablet & at ...the same price.

Is there a way to get a different ROM on MT6589T device

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:

}
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

Question Your MIUI 13 experience?

So Stable has status of public beta. I believe some of you are already on it. Any opinions please, how does it look? Any changes? What you like, what you don't?
There is a global stable version out ?
im using the MI11Lite5G_V13.0.4.0 and its ok, I dont use nothing else about phoone, banking, messenger services and come apps to remote work, so, its ok, a little faster and a little better battery life, i dont use and I have not tried the new options from android 12

I used it for a few days with xiaomi.eu. Didn't found any big differences in the UI using Nova launcher. The only thing that I noticed was it SPAMS all kind of security alerts. "This app use this and that, yes or no?" It was frustrating.

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...

Directions are in Korean. Anybody have an English translation?
You can use Google Translator. I will work anyway about
So Android 13 just came out for Verizon in the United States. and the battery life is horrible.
I would say my phone uses at least 30% more battery per day. Hopefully somebody will figure out how to root this Beast soon although if it hasn't happened already it might not sadly. I would go back to Android 12 in a second if I could make it stick.

A settings reset helped most of the problems. Doesn't look like it helped battery drain much if it all though.
