Hi all,
I own a JXD S7300b Android gamepad, which is 'locked' at Android 4.1.1 at the moment, but i've been looking
around and saw that the tablet actually uses a GT-I9100 'host body', with 1 GB of ram. If that device can be updated unofficially
to Android 8.1 ( i really need just Android 6 actually ), would that be possible, and, more importantly, would
the joysticks still be supported? ( which is actually the most important part )
I've been looking around but couldn't find a decent answer to this, so any tips, advice is very welcome.

Hello everyone... currently I have a Moto G first gen.. that doesn't suits my need anymore, so i guess i'll be buying a zenphone 2 by the end of this week, but I have a few questions, and would really like if someone can clear some stuff out
Zenphone 2, 4GB ram, 16GB rom, Intel 4x 2,3Ghz
1 Is it possible to cast it's screen to some TV? hdmi, USB tv out, or even miracast or DLNA?
2 Is it easy to root the phone? will lost data? can unroot? need to unlock bootloader? will the warranty be void if so?
3 I've heard the update is late, but will it get android 6.0? and 7.0?
4 Intel leaving the atom mobile market, will turn into a problem for owners of Zenfone2
5 Are the bloats a serious problem? hard to remove / affects performance?
6 How does it stand againt of some phones of the same price? maybe moto X 2014, Xperia Z1, LG G3,moto G4 plus?
7 Can I run some linux on it, or even windows reasonably? (was able to boot winXP on moto G with Qemu, but it was so slow, that turned to be useless, but linux was kinda better)
8 Is there some real difference beetween 4x1.8Ghz and 4x2.3Ghz?
9 Can i expect some not oficial android 8? will it have enough performance for it (I understand it's a guess)
10 How long does the battery last with screen on and wifi? (with moto G a can get something beetween 3H40m ~ 5H according to use and brightness, in other words, 2 netflix movies with a single chage)
and here's the last one, thanks for reading
11 Do you like it's indoor/night/artificial light photos?
I undertand it's a lot of questions, no need to answer what you are not confident about, but please use the numbers to make it easier to read and understand
Thank you very much for any help
Today i see someone succesfully boot Android N on Xperia L. Which is Xperia L has a same proccesor with Redmi 1S (snapdragon 400) Maybe we can port the ROM into our device. What do you guys think about?

That's music to my ears...awesome

As far as I could gather, yes, it is possible to get Nougat.
Things we will NOT GET, because of the GPU we have are: OpenGL 3.1 / Vulkan. Those two are only embedded in Adreno 400 and upwards.
This would mean that there is a chance for problems with games that might migrate above OpenGL 3.0 (which we have).
As far as I'm aware, the differences between 3.1 and 3.0 are in the addition of new libraries, so if the game needs those new libraries 100% and doesn't offer a fallback option, we won't be able to play them.

Actually not a problem of xiaomi but of **** Google.
This is Android (and OEMs and Qualcomm) not looking far ahead to support devices. They don’t care about customers. After sale support non-existent.
Why is Apple able to support iPhone 5s (same age as Nexus 5) with iOS 10 and later? Because Apple made it compatible with METAL apk from day 1. Because it has hardware encryption since day 1.
Why is Apple able to support iPhone 5 (4 years old) with iOS 10? Because Apple is willing to!!! IPhone 5 does not support METAL nor does it have ARMv8 chip…yet iPhone 5 is getting iOS 10…minus raise to speak to Siri…it is getting 99% of iOS 10 features.
Remember, major software updates also bring with it security features beyond “monthly patches.”
So, with all the resources of software (Google) and hardware (OEM’s and Qualcomm), Android cannot support Nexu 5 and the likes?! It is like buying a laptop (since most phones cost the same) and can only use it for 2 years. That’s insane!
When will Android community wake up and demand more? Google, OEMs, and Qualcomm will only listen if money talks.
And it is this crap that explains horrible re-sale value of Android flagships!
Hello,
I am searching for a phone under 5 inch for current lineage os (and likely with support for next versions). It seems to be nearly unpossible. It is quite hard to check all supported phones for the display screen. Does someone knows if there is somewhere an overview of lineage phones where I can sort or filter the display size? Does someone uses such a phone with lineage?
I use moto e 1St gen condor. 4.3 inch and cheap. Will upgrade from mokee marshmallow as soon as audioFx is fixed or replaced by viper.
Edit: official resurrection remix seems to be the better choice in terms of stable updates.

S4 Mini is good if you are happy with a small midrange phone, but be careful you get a version which has official Linage support ie I9195, i9192, I9190 and NOT variants like i9195L (though it's normally possible to get it running on those but support is limited)
Droid 4
Really happy that I can keep my Droid 4 running through several major version of CM and now Lineage OS 14.1. 4" screen and a nifty sliding keyboard (O where have they all gone?).
I only use it a music server now so I can't speak for it's cell capabilities but it's solid performer anyway.

I own a Wileyfox Swift, as I looked for a Dual SIM device with LTE at an affordable price.
It is 5 inches, which I consider too big now, so I wonder if you found a smaller one in the meantime?

Honor 8 Pro is indeed a beast but this company is not for ROM development or atleast this phone.
Stop trying to Degrade/Root or anything else than updating through the stable channel. I have myself destroyed the device multiple times, although I did not hard bricked it, thanks to the almighty and was able to recover phone with that good old download folder method, but still, don't try anything with this device, use it if you have one and if you can't live for a day without root (there is no point rooting this device anyway, most modules won't work and the development is ceased anyways) sell it and get something that has developer support, OnePlus for instance.
OpenKirin ROMs are good. I am using OmniROM Pie Alpha 2 and it is great!!!!! It has all goodies (Pie + Honor Camera + no junk etc etc).
To be honest, it is always work in progress and thanks to developers (OldDroid and team), they are still coming up with best possible , stable ROMs for this beast!
It always depends on what you are looking out for!:good:

I have a Honor 8 Pro. 8.0.0 android and 8.0.0 EMUI
Model: DUK-L09
I have never rooted a phone before. The only thing I want to root it because it dose NOT recognize xbox360 controller with OTG cable which is ridiculous. Could you recommand me something ?
I have owned many Honor phones, and you're totally right.
The decision of not providing bootloader codes is somewhat good when it comes to this.
Seeing how even the Samsung Galaxy S II has gotten a port of LineageOS 12, I wondered if there's anything that would prevent the Galaxy Nexus from getting it as well.
A developer already told me privately that it would be theoretically possible and that it would probably be better off with Android Go settings, but I wondered if there could be anything else that might prevent it. Because I see little discussion about this phone and I've seen no Custom Roms that go beyond Android 7.1 Nougat.
As a smartphone of the Nexus line, shouldn't it be even easier to support than something like the Galaxy S II?
I just know that it'd be awesome to see newer Android versions on it, just as with several other older phones that already got them.
Are you serious??? There is no way Galaxy Nexus can run Android 12. Even when this phone run on Android 7.1.2 (latest custom rom) it run poor and gets hot quickly, so i don't think anyone will build any custom rom for this device.

I'm just curious whether it is possible or not. The Samsung Galaxy S II seems to be able to do it, even though it's still in an early phase.
"As a smartphone of the Nexus line, shouldn't it be even easier to support than something like the Galaxy S II?"
for ti Omap chipset it isnt really easy to port twrp or lineage 19.0
"A developer already told me privately that it would be theoretically possible and that it would probably be better off with Android Go settings,"
no, you don't bringup and you can't make android 12 for this device. remember TI OMAP processors are close source afaik. and android 7 on this device RUNS VERY POORLY. so it's impossible to port a12 on this device, unless you try to port LOS 15.0 first.

Oreo actually runs way better than Nougat, at least with the holy kernel 3.4.
Can someone port Lineage OS 15.1 for the Galaxy Nexus maguro?
Don't forget, Android 12 (as well as 11, possibly also 10) is 64 bit only.

That's not right, we are running A11, A12 and A13 on many other arm chipsets like the Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy S3 and also many others...
Yes, it can be compiled for these chipsets, but will it be compatible with new software?

Yep, everything seems to work fine .
its theoretically possible, the omap 4460 is armv7 and has over a gig of ram, which are the bare minimum system requirements for running android 12.
however, it would be a major undertaking to port the crusty code over to android 12 AND it would run like garbage, unless someone were to try and speed up that code, which would be a whole other story.
if the community had continued like it had on the galaxy s2, this wouldve already happened, but it didnt for likely many reasons.
im guessing one of those is the lack of mainline linux support, which is because of the SGX540 in this phone.
