I have a HTC Wildfire E Lite as a backup phone. I realise it's not like the old HTC devices in the rest of this forum - it's pretty generic hardware I suspect.
It runs Android 10 Go Edition, which I really don't like. Ideally I'd like to install a fully-fledged version of Android. To this end I've managed to unlock the bootloader, and now require a (stock) Android 10 image. Failing that, even just the right boot image for rooting (I've tried Kingoroot - no luck).. But after searching the web I can't find anything for this model of phone. Given its generic hardware, is it possible to use an image made for other devices?
Specs:
Android v10 (Q)
Quad core, 1.8 GHz, Cortex A53 processor
MediaTek Helio A20 Chipset
2 GB RAM
32 GB internal storage
Hi.
I might have an idea on how you could go about this.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not a tech guru but the info I have should be able to get you what you want.
I got most of these info because of my desperation for optimization when I owned a potato (Infinix Smart 3). It literally had no Dev support, even in XDA. My recent phone has no support either but it's smooth enough for me so I'll just share my knowledge with you!
First, I'll advice you to backup your stock ROM. Have you heard of Wwr MTK? Or SP flash tool? These are the Mediatek tools you'll need to backup your stock images. JSYK your processor, Helio A20, is codenamed MT6761D. That'll come in handy!
Use this video to learn more on how to use them:
And please I'll have to beg you not to use Kingoroot. It's a very dated root method so I'll advice you to use Magisk. Here (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk), you'll get all the info you'll need to install Magisk.
Also, if you're looking for a stable custom ROM to use, you can use Android 10 or Android 11 GSI system image from XDA recognised Phh. Find them here( https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases)
Also, if you want to have the same experience as on Google Pixel devices, you could also use Pixel Experience or Pixel Experience+ GSIs. Find them here (https://github.com/ponces/treble_build_pe/releases)
If you run into any issues, you could contact me on WhatsApp (https://wa.me/2348107260090)
Or Telegram (https://t.me/si_nach) or just search @si_nach
Hope this helps! Have Fun!
Awesome! Thank you! I'm going to give it a go in the next few days and will update with the results. Much appreciated

The reports I've read online suggest the Legend doesn't ship with Flash Lite support as the Hero does. Also Adobe have said you need a snapdragon cpu or higher to get Flash 10.1 support.
Does this leave the Legend with no flash ?
The post be Adobe....
Hi all,
You can expect the final release for Android to be available mid-year. All Android devices that meet our minimum s/w and h/w requirements will be supported. Unfortunately, I cannot say a lot more publicly about our port to the Android platform at this time.
As for WinMo, we have made the tough decision to defer support for that platform until WinMo7. This is due to the fact that WinMo6.5 does not support some of the critical APIs that we need.
As for your other questions:
* Yes, we will support the Motorola Milestone.
* No, the HTC Hero will not be supported b/c it does not have the correct Anroid OS version and it’s chipset is not powerful enough. We require a device with an ARM v7 (Cortex) processor. Examples include the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets and TI OMAP3 series.
Best regards,
Antonio
i have this question too but i can't get an answer anywhere
well the pre-release one i saw could not play bbc iplayer programs (it crashed the browser) but it just about managed to play youtube, although quite slow and jerky.
It seems to have flash lite at the moment, but this was a pre-release device which didn't even have Sense on it yet.....
all the early reviews I've read said it does have flash and it works:
http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/0,39030107,49305224,00.htm?s_cid=82
http://gizmodo.com/5488019/htc-legend-review-frankly-it-feels-expensive
http://www.slashgear.com/htc-legend-review-0876928/
well playing "Restaurant City" (Facebook Flash Games) works - very slow but working...
Hi all,
Just thought I'd bump this as I haven't found a definitive answer just yet [please provide the necessary link if I have missed it!].
1] I presume Flash Lite is shipped & working with the Legend...?
2] Any news on 'full fat' Flash 10.1 support? As per OP, Adobe suggest a snapdragon processor is required, is this still the case? Will we ever see Flash 10.1 on the Legend?
Thanks in advance
Yup it comes with flash lite.
No news on Flash 10.1 for the Legend.
the legend must have flash lite flash works but it seems to be completely cpu based which leads to performance problems.
im surprised they would say that 10.1 needs snap dragon. the desktop flash10.1 added GPU acceleration i was under the impression that android 10.1 would bring the same which had a huge potential to increase flash performance making it close to if not perfect
also flash 10.1 will be in FroYo (2.2) chances are htc will update to 2.2 (least i hope) so we should get it anyway if not then custom rom it up!
hi guys, I am trying to port flash lite into LG optimus one. since the htc legend and Optimus one has the same processor and OS, it might be possible to just dump in the files into system\app and system\lib. So can someone extract the flash related files from these 2 folders?

Just download one of the Froyo ROMs in the Development section + dsixda's kitchen (check Chef Central -> Android) and extract all files you need.
thanks for the info.
Hello everyone,
So basically I own a very nice phone with decent specifications but not many people know it, so I decided to come here and Ask
First of all, it's the Vodafone Smart mini, aka. TCT Vodafone V875, It has 3.5" HVGA screen, resolution 320x480, MTK 6575 1ghz single core cpu and a PowerVR gpu which gives amazing performance
So, I've been looking all over internet for a custom rom for it, I was able to root it using the amazing Framaroot and I got custom recovery from smartmini.wordpress.com, that website has a custom rom stock based for it but that's not what I'm looking for
I'm looking for something like AOKP or CM or Paranoid for my device, that gives me an android version higher than 4.1.1 since that's what the device comes with
What I'm asking for is a custom rom with android version 4.1.2+ that is the same as CM or any other famous roms so if there is or if there are people working on one(s) please give me link and thank you
Also a little link to help devs looking forward to develop a rom for the device : http://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/VF875_20130619.tar.xz/download
It's the device's source code
i too would like this.
Good luck
It actually seems more responsive than my droid4.

I think the problem is that the phone isn't sold in the US and most of the big countries. It's mainly sold in 3rd world countries like the one I live in and no one gives a [Mod edit: profanity not allowed] about custom roms around here.
it also sells in europe, i realy doubt there are no develpoers in europe
It's not too bad then that I bought the mediatek version then Jokes apart, this situation is strange indeed

Upgrade/Update HTC Desire 820 Dual Sim to 5.0 Lollipop
Leave a reply
I rewrite this tutorial from forum.xda-developers.com :
The users of HTC Desire 820 Dual Sim can now update their handsets to Android 5.0 Lollipop using custom ROM. The new Android 5.0 Lollipop comes with many new features :
– Up to 4x performance improvements.
– A battery saver feature which extends device use by up to 90 mins.
– It has a faster, smoother and more powerful computing experience.
– Support for 64-bit SoCs using ARM, x86, and MIPS-based cores.
– OpenGL ES 3.1 and Android extension pack brings Android to the forefront of mobile graphics putting it on par with desktop and console class performance.
– Responsive, natural motion, realistic lighting and shadows, and familiar visual elements make it easier to navigate your device.
– More intelligent ranking of notifications based on who they’re from and the type of communication. See all your notifications in one place by tapping the top of the screen.
– New devices come with encryption automatically turned on to help protect data on lost or stolen devices.
– SELinux enforcing for all applications means even better protection against vulnerabilities and malware.
– State of the art video technology with support for HEVC main profile to allow for UHD 4K 10-bit video playback, tunneled hardware video decoding to save power and improved HLS support for streaming.
– and other cool features.
Here are some more aspects that users should know before trying out the custom ROM :
– Users need to have proper back-up for their personal data on the phone.
– The handset should have at least 80 percent of battery power.
– The users also need to ensure that USB Debugging is enabled on the phone.
– During the installation, if the device gets stuck on booting, users can perform wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik before rebooting the phone.
Tutorial :
1. Download Android 5.0 Lollipop ROM from link below :
The ROM File size is 128 MB, so I split the file into 3 parts :
ROM Part 1 : http://goo.gl/7pyL97
ROM Part 2 : http://goo.gl/ffHU2x
ROM Part 3 : http://goo.gl/l1zKh5
To combine 3 parts files above into 1 file just use WINRAR, then extract the files into ZIP format.
If any problem with the ROM, maybe because the ROM have corrupted during the download process, you can try to re-download the ROM.
2. Install the ROM Manager on your HTC Desire 820 Dual Sim. Get it from Google Play Store, then install the clockwork mod recovery. You also can use ROM Installer application from JRummy Apps Inc.(Get it from Google Play Store).
3. Connect your HTC Desire 820 Dual Sim to your PC employing the USB information cable. Copy the “ROM.zip” file you downloaded to the SD memory card.
4. Restart your device in the recovery mode using ROM Manager. As soon as in Recovery Mode, go to ROM Manager and select backup/restore to back-up your information.
5. From the Recovery Menu do a total data erase (including Delvik Cache). When completed, go back to Recovery Principal Menu and choose Flash ROM from SD Card. Navigate the location you copied the ”ROM.zip” file and follow the directions for installing Android 5.0 Lollipop on your HTC Desire 820 Dual Sim. As soon as the installation is over, just reboot your HTC Desire 820 Dual Sim device, and here you go, you’ve just upgraded it to the new Android 5.0 Lollipop.
look at comments they successful...how they do it there is survey on download link..i try to download i got part 1...but the second and third part of the rom file...they take my mobilephone load. try guys analyze its true or not.
The Lollipop Rom is definetly fake. How did the users comment if there is no option on the webpage to login?

Im using Infocus M530 [MT6595] i saw lots of that for MT65xx but only few is worked on MT6595. There is no specific guides for MT6595 for development etc and Mtkdroid,SP flash tool both also not work on my device. Only found "How To Root".Please Respective MTK devs do anything for MT6595 also n help others..
Thank You !
Sorry for my RIP english.

Hi,
Lenovo Vibe X2 is having same specifications as you said. I think it is possible to port that rom in Infocus M530 but, before that I want to say that the lenovo X2's L update is having some serious bugs. Please check it. And one more thing, in order to port you need custom recovery. Did ported any custom recovery into your M530. If yes, please let me know. Because I tried lot times & failed to port CWM & as well as TWRP.
No update for our device yet?
No custom rom,No recovery..... Is infocus m530 support dead?

Nope. Since it is rooted you can directly write to the raw partitions for "flashing" a rom, thus no need for a recovery. But it is too dangerous. One tiny error would brick the device.

so better to buy a new phone than waiting for a os update...
I have a zopo zp999 (with a shattered screen so I'm back on ol' faithful - Galaxy Note 2 n7100)
The whole MT6595 I think suffered from being relatively closed source. Even though there was an ubuntu version of the mi3 I think and its source code released, other manufacturers didn't come to the party - like zopo.
Manufacturers are really their own worst enemy for slitting their own throats by being so restrictive with source.
It also might be partly associated with the MT6595 containing a PowerVR GPU.
Non-Mali (ARM) gpus tend to be more closed with their drivers too.
Whereas ARM have been releasing the drivers for their mali gpus for years now.
the MT6595 was the targeted at being a super-mid SoC. The top of its time. I think the last 32-bit CPU, and once the 64-bit MT697x cortex A57 & A53 based product well everyone lost interest really.
It's a good modem. They have a pretty good engineering mode - eg ability to choose LTE/HSPA frequencies.
beyond that... eh...
Hello,
So I got a Lenovo Smart Tab (yt-x703f) and really want to flash TWRP to it, so I can flash LineageOS rom, but it seems like there's no support for it, or even a subthread on XDA.
(I tried various twrp images)
Anyone got some experience with that tablet and have something working?
Cheers
For some reason this device gets the silent treatment on all fora. I can't figure out why, this could be a great multimedia device with some adjustments. batt life is great as is the sound. Screen is ok ish and the speed needs to be tweaked, but no one is willing to tweak
You can root the device and even flash a GSI on it. Tested myself and everything is working
Yoga Smart Tab - Iron GreyPart Number: ZA3V0005US
Not sure if we are talking about the same device but lenovo does not support their mid tier devices with OS updates and would like to install a bloatless OS also pie is really dated and wondering if i will run in to issues with app compatibility. There is also that issue where it won't run HD in netflix because netflix is a static app and can not be removed and reinstalled. Hence bloatware and would love a clean google experience.

Flashing a GSI might help if the device supports Project Treble. Basically any device launched with Android 8 and above should support Project Treble.
Hi, I have a Lenovo Yoga smart tab (YT-X705L) and I want to install a new rom on it. I’m not an IT wizard so I need help with that. Would you find anyone who can give step-by-step instructions from start to finish with download links.
And if you can find experiences on how anything works (which is GSI). Thanks in advance.
