Hello!
I have an iBall slide DD-1GB tablet. I have Android version 4.4 Kitkat in it. But as many applications don’t support it I want to upgrade it to Android 5.0 Lollipop.
I have checked the OTA for update, but without success. Also, I have done a lot of searching on the Internet but i fail to get what I need.
I would be very thankful to you if u help me.
Pls!!!!!

The tablet can be considered as heaviy outdated, when it comes to run today's apps/games.
IMHO it's not ready to get its Android upgraded to Android 5.x, this because tablet's hardware doesn't match the minimum hardware specs Android 5.1.1 and higher itself and apps / games require. Take note that Android 5.1.1 OS exclusively needs ~500MB RAM.
For example,
PUBG Mobile exclusively needs at minimum 2GB RAM and 2GB free storage space to run at lowest possible settings,
Call Of Duty Mobile exclusively needs at minimum 1.5GB RAM
Legends Of Lanterra exclusively needs 2GB RAM & 1.2GHz quad-core CPU
and so on - the list is endless ....

ok so i just acquired a intempo i.d. spirit 7" tab.
its running android 1.6
model number: generic
kernel: 2.6.29-00236-g4f8dbbb-dirty
build number: 1.9_710cu
via 8505+ processor 400 mhz
256mb ram
2gb flash
now, is this worth keeping or will i get bored quick?
iv searched all over for anything on this item and found very little other than the obvious, they aint anything special.
is it possible to update the android version?
can i root it, flash a new rom to it?
can i get the proper market app on it?
any help or advice on this tablet would be much appreciated
cheerz in advance
It looks like you just wasted your money and will in fact get bored with it very quickly. Compared to high end devices, this could never compete. 400mhz processor - Outdated; Android 1.6 - Outdated; 256mb Ram - Low end device. Your tablet does not have multitouch (since its not supported until Eclair). You won't be able to play any good 3D games; run any apps properly which require multitouch, and most applications no longer support Android 1.6 anymore. Also, from what I know, there is no update and no custom roms for it (but you can still check). Just search around here somewhere for the market apk.
Hi everybody, I'm Gabri, I've bought this nice Lg L9 II and I need help
The phone is branded, and out of the box I found already installed in it Android 4.4.2.
After having stopped and disabled the unwanted brand apps, I checked the resources and I had a bad surprise. Considering that the specs are 1GB of RAM and 8 GB of ROM, I have only 240 free MB of RAM and 3.07 GB of ROM available. And I haven't even installed any app or started to use the phone. Is it normal?
Thank you four your help / advices guys.
Yes it's normal. The 8 GB storage is divided in two partitions, 4 GB each. One for the android system and one for apps, music, photos etc. The pre-installed apps are using 1 GB of the second partition so you have 3 GB available.
As for the RAM many apps start running by default when the the phone boots (keyboard, dialer, sms, maps, weather etc) and the system automatically stops some of this apps to free RAM when needed to run other apps.
thank you l3t0m,
this makes me think that kitkat is very eager of resources, so how is it possible that you can find kitkat also in devices with only 4GB of ROM and 512MB of RAM? considering that my phone has 8GB and 1GB and more than half of both are already taken by the system....
One more question: the used RAM memory is 523MB (even if the processes in the list of the active apps do not reach that amount of occupied RAM at all), and the free RAM is only 240MB... so where is the rest of memory necessary to have a total amount of 1GB??
Sorry for such a kind of questions, maybe the everyday experience with the device is still satisfying and one should not worry about this stuff (yet I don't have a direct comparison with previous android versions in my device), but I simply would like to understand if everything is ok or maybe I need to changes something to have the best possible experience with this nice L9 II.
Thank you!
The devices with 4 GB ROM have about 1,5 GB available for the user which is obviously not so much considering that many popular apps are taking up to 100 mb and if you use a GPS navigator the maps also need some hundreds mb of storage to be downloaded on your device. Add to this the frequent app updates and the photos/videos you shoot with the 8MP/1080p camera and you will be out of storage.
I think that 8 GB is the minimum you need to have the best experience with a device like the L9 II.
I have no idea why the rest of the 1 GB RAM is not showing (that's happening on my device also), maybe someone with more technical knowledge could explain this. Anyway, as far as the device works fine (and it does!) there is no reason to worry about.
Hi Dear All
I have a tablet Hipstreet TiTan 2 The Memory is 512MB but I have only free memory of 180MB to run the application. I'm tired of the application crash. I"m looking for a custom rom that use less memory so I can run bigger apps. I don't mind if it is in lower version or less security. Now I'm on 4.4.2.
Hi, I have had a look at the android compatibility definition and in to "internet" and didnt find the answer. I asume the ram consumption it has to be mpre, since on android 9 compatibility definition I found an entry where it states if ram is less than 1GB it will be prompted a low ram alert, while with android 6 there are (were?) plenty of devices with just 2Gb ram. So my concern is about the CPU requeriments.
I am planning on buy a eReader (4GB) which nowadays have android 6 but its supposed to be upgraded to android 9 in the next month. I am affraid that CPU plus android 9 will make the device slow.
Any idea about android 9 cpu requeriments being higher than 6?
No one has an idea??
OK- I was recently given a Bauhn Tablet WL-101GQC, Android 4.1.2, Baseband FW8955m-V1.1.6.0, Kernal version 3.4.0+, build no. V3.1.6.0-Bauhn-V002.
I've never had a tablet before but I'm one of these people who build their own computers from scratch. So my question is is what can I do with this tablet? I'd like to upgrade the Android version but I'm told this tablet isn't compatible with the latest Android o/s. So what exactly is stopping an upgrade? What parts or components etc?
Any ideas?
This unit works fine by the way.
regards

IMHO the question is what you want to do with this device? Playing heavy video-games, watching movies/vids, compute fractals, texting ...

Thanks for the reply.
I suppose I'm looking for an excuse to upgrade the Android o/s if I can.
I don't bother with video games but I am a movie buff.
Currently I'm using this tablet for e-books and audio books.
Texting/e-mails etc word processing. Yes I'd do all that too.
What's the deal on changing any components? Is that feasible if you know what you're doing?
If I wanted to "soup" this tablet up how far could I go?

Personally don't think you can upgrade the hardware: yes, your device's bottlenecks are both the RAM and the capacity of internal storage. Even if you would replace some hardware components where to get the related drivers and how to implement these in existing Android OS?
Also it's probably impossible to upgrade device's Android OS, unless you find a Cutom ROM that matches your device.
But you can try to improve device's performance.
