Best way to update my HD2 - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

So I recently found my HD2 in an old box and decided to use it as a "media player" for my car. Its already been rooted and modded and all that...
Going into recovering, it says "CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6"
Going into setting on my phone, it says I'm running Android version 4.1.2, and CyanogenMod version 10.0.0-leo. Kernal version is 2.6.32_tytung_jellybean_r1 and its from 2012
What would be the best way to "update" my HD2 to make it more modern but run efficiently?

Mine loves the EvoHD2 in the music player mode. Found it somewhere on this forum (e.g.:https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013189).

For those who knows no HD2 it has the power button on the front, which is the best design for the device "panellization" (integrating into a flash surface).

Blu Win Jr Windows phone 8.1 Original Rom

Hello good day, i'm looking to the Blu Win Jr W410l Windows phone 8.1 version because I tried to upgrade to windows 10 phone but it didn't do anything so i tried "Windows Device Recovery Tool" But in the menu I saw Blu win jr 410a and thought maybe it's the right one..... Later on i found out that it's the wrong one, But!!.. I didn't see any problems yet. Later i was using the internet through my cellular network and saw my phone wasn't using 3g anymore... So i need the W410l version please!!. If anyone can help if possible please share it to me and how the flash it to my phone?.
Thanks in advance...
BLU Jr 410 an Archos Cesium 40 clone
Hi,
as the BLU Jr 410 appears to be an Archos Cesium 40 clone, try the Archos firmware at update.archos.com/misc. This will start download a file russia.rar. This file includes ffutool, retail ffu and ReadMe.
The Archos Cesium supports 2G, 3G data. I do not know about 4G on this device. The newest WDRT shows fotos of the BLU devices, so be sure to choose a LTE device if your 410 supports 4G.
Best wishes,
Joachim

Sorry, mixed up 4G and 410. So this ROM should be okay.

Simplest way in my opinion is not to root just flash maleskys rom for px5 he has is already with viper4android root and xpose all you do is download his rom for px5 take out the update.img from zip place on the root of sdcard then go into settings click update and let it flash dont bother updating mcu if all is fine with your unit until either you comfortable or in need of it as that is the part that is more risk of bricking this is just my opion it is up to you i take no responsibility reed his thread but i do recommend
Is it that easy?
Just download that file - Place it on an SD Card - In the unit - and click update in settings?
Then i have working Viper4android?
Do i still have the same languages settings ? (danish)

Got working DUAL BOOT

Hey, i got working DUAL boot with my Win10 Yoga Book and Android x86.
But some functions in Android are still not working (e.g. Bluetooth).
But I am not a programmer so I have one question:
On Lenovo's Support page you can get the open source Code for Android. Is it possible to integrate this Code with Drivers etc. in the Android x86 Rom?
Thx
Hey, good news! Can you discribe, how you installed it and what isn't working?

Better solution: use MSFT android remote desktop?
Waiting for my Android Yoga Book YB1-X90F to arrive, I figure using this app to remote into my laptop @home should work same as having Windows, except of course I'd have to be online.
Anyone care to report on how usable the YB1-X90F is when not connected? That would be my only concern

Most stable rom for V410 AT&T?

hello everyone
i need best stable rom for lg gpad 7 v410
i have 4.4.2 stock. i rooted it and than unroot again but never give me OTA update
i need stable best rom for v410
can anyone help me?
I've just started going through the motions of rooting, flashing a custom recovery, and finding a ROM for my daughter's (4 year old) v410 LG G Pad 7 too. I started with the stock Android Kit Kat ROM 4.4.2 on the device of course and then updated to 5.0.2 when it was available. The device (with only 1 gb RAM) slowed to a crawl and she's been complaining about the device's speed for over a year. There is a custom build of Lineage OS 14.1 but it's been universally acclaimed as too slow. Seems there are several versions of CandyROM Five and Six floating around which are Android Marshmallow 6 and Nougat 7.1 based. I'm going to try the latest Candy Six ROM, the latest I can find from December 2016 and see how that goes. Honestly, the most stable is probably the original stock 4.4.2 though I'd take the occasional crash to get this device more up to date to it would be useful for a couple of more years.

Oh, and be sure you read this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75787067&postcount=699 to get a one-stop-fix to flash if you return the device to stock Kit Kat. The attached .zip fix there will let you avoid a lot of headache in adb trying to repartition after you flash the beta recovery image .kdz file.
________________________________________
I couldn't get any of the Nougat 7.1. Candy ROMS I'd found to load without corruption so I'm going to run the LineageOS 14.1 image for a few days. So far, it's a bit slow but no more than I'd expect with a device with only 1 gb RAM and a Snapdragon 400. If nothing changes, I'll stick with this ROM until it's badly out of date since there doesn't seem to be anything newer available.
CrDroid is by far the best and most stable rom for this device. For some reason I never see it even mentioned. It's based on Lineage and Android 7.1.2, and has a massive amount of built in customization. It was also released at the end of 2018, making it the newest Rom available to my knowledge. Go to androidfilehost.com and download it from there.

Rom will install, but doesn't come with gapps, and has wifi connectivity issues. Tried installing gapps arm-v7.1, but it will get the tablet stuck at welcome screen. Won't let you start fresh or restore from previous device. Unless I'm doing something wrong - open to ideas

I was able to get it to load all the way. I downloaded the Beans minimal gapps 7.1.x and it worked just fine.

I tried again after completely wiping the system, and installed rom and gapps at the same time. It worked in that I got through the welcome screen, but am still having wifi connectivity issues. Though I am trying to connect to wifi at work, which requires login. It will not direct to the login site.
Edit: Used phone as hotspot, had trouble with the gapps mini package - didnt seem to have google play services/google services framework so couldn't set up google accounts. Went back again and used Beans Full gapps - up and running.

My wifi is working at home. My only issue is trying to get the carrier unlock so I can use my t-mobile sim. But I think that requires me contacting AT&T.

I hadn't tried CrDroid on the v410 as I pretty much excluded anything that wasn't newer than 2018 in my recent searches. I've had wifi connectivity issues with the v410 on every ROM, but the one I've been using (or at least my daughter) has been unable to automatically connected to wifi. It always has to be toggled manually. Rather annoying and bad for my data plan.
Speaking of the LG v410 though, there's a new ROM for the v410 that I just discovered and wanted to post it so others can take a look. I don't have time at the minute to check it out, but it's seemingly based on Android 7 Nougat and might be better than what we've got at the moment: https://tmp.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=299916 I'll post something about it as soon as I have time to test it out.
That's the new "Googleless" e/ operating system created by one of the founding developers of Lineage OS. It's supposed to revolutionize Android in a sense from my understanding, and possibly be the next big operating system. You can actually purchase refurbished phones Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy s8 and more pre-installed with this OS on it. Is very quick and it works extremely well on The V410 from my experience, but it takes a lot of getting used to. It's pre-installed with gmscore to get around Google, and contains a lot of security and privacy features. The launcher itself is extremely different, and goes by the name of Bliss launcher. It's extremely lightweight and I see huge potential in it, but it could be potentially frustrating for your daughter if she is used to relying on Google. It's based off of 7.1.2, and I would suggest trying it out just to experience it and see what you think for a bit, as it's a very quick flash and throwing magisk on it is a breeze. I know exactly what you're talking about with the Wi-Fi issues. It seems to plague every ROM for this tablet except for the lollipop ROMs like Tesla. As for this new OS, I've had no wi-fi issues whatsoever. The interface is actually perfect for a tablet! Of course you can still run Google apps on it if you choose, which I am in the process of trying out currently. I flashed this rom a couple weeks ago and it was a huge and very pleasant surprise when the boot screen appeared, but I couldn't help but take a shot at flashing the stock 4.4.2 pre-rooted ROM back to my g pad 4 a short while because I found myself in a scenario where I needed to use the infrared remote.. if you haven't heard of it already, look up E/ OS and take a look at what it has to offer! I desperately been searching for a lineage 15 ROM with no luck.

You can bypass the welcome screen by tapping each corner of the display clockwise until it Skips the initial setup, then go back and enter in any info necessary. You don't have to do it very quickly but sometimes it takes a little while and some patience to get it to work.

Side note.. I found that using magisk and flashing FDE.AI , along with the low ram enabler module which you have to search for because it is no longer in the magisk repo " AKA Android go Edition enabler" solves most of the lag issues if not all of them on this tablet.
I've come to realize after flashing every ROM I can find multiple times on my v410, that the newer android builds are just too slow for this tablet no matter what. After a fresh install, they're mostly all quick, but it doesn't take much to slow them down. Ground Zero Roms are very well built even though there are no newer builds. Tesla High Voltage is very quick and stable with no WiFi issues. Tipsy is a slimmed down version and works well but I like the features of Tesla much more. Validus is awesome but there's a couple bugs I haven't figured out yet. It comes with both Trebuchet and Nova launcher preinstalled, has a really nice dark theme and very badass boot and shutdown animations, a keyboard that adapts in color and transparency based on the page loaded, and various visual options. Using Omniswitch for recents will cause a crash sometimes which I haven't figured out, but the regular navbar can be changed in height, and various buttons can be added and icons changed. I prefer to turn the navbar off and the Pie navigation on. Systemless Xposed causes settings to crash on Validus, and so does Lucky Patcher. If I can get these things figured out, this would be my preferred daily use ROM, but out of the box I think Tesla holds up in the long run compared to everything I've tried. It just needs a few updates due to the older android version, the only necessary one in my experience is the browser and webview. Although they are larger in size, Bromite browser and webview are the quickest and most stable. The difference is so large that it is impossible to go unnoticed. I can not get Bromite webview to flash through Magisk however, but the apk installs with no hiccups. Kernel Auditor comes built in as well.
Thanks for the info and link to the unofficial E/OS. I thought it was just another boot-looping dead end when I flashed it via TWRP but I went back into TWRP and wiped the dalvik cache...viola, it booted right into a first time script.
Pros: this is fast. the tablet is so much more usable now. It has some good built in apps and the app store seems to connect directly into the google play store, so I was installing regular android apps right away. The built in maps is surprisingly useful. It has a good navigation feature that is like a streamlined google maps nav. I like the privacy aspects. While I was tempted to link to my google account, I might prefer to leave it unlinked. with a 4g sim card, this would be a great device for traveling abroad and I'd be less paranoid connecting to unfamiliar wifi or cell networks. With a couple of movies and ebooks loaded on a 200gig microSD card, it would make a great offline device as well.
Cons: I still have the same wifi issues that the lineage OS and Cyanogen mod builds had. I have to reconnect to wifi every time the tablet wakes up. Considering the privacy in traveling use case, though, this could be considered an advantage.
Now I regret canceling the extra Tmobile line that the gpad used to be on. Maybe I'll catch another add a line free promo.
WiFi is important to me. Is there anything other than stock that works?

It may not matter. I literally want this device to do one thing only -- act as a Sonos front end -- and it appears I can only choose to either have broken wifi or too-old an android version.
