Custom ROMs, anyone?

AmateurPCGuy · January 20, 2014

I'm looking for custom ROMs for the following devices:

1. T733 - A Chinese tablet. I dunno the specs on this one. So... yeah.... xda's a no-go btw...

2. Samsung Galaxy Ace and GIo (I heard that there's already KitKat ROMs for these, but only on WIPs, how about stable ones?)

3. HTC flyer p510e (actually, I'm only looking for instructions on this... Applying Custom ROMs on HTC devices is such a huge pain in the tits...

Can anyone help me here? I need help ASAP...

Actually for these custom ROMs, the instructions can pretty much be found on xda sites. I will break down the details for each device.

First off, the Chinese tablet you probably will not find any custom ROMs for it given that they aren't that famous. You can try figuring out the structure of the device (by rooting) to port Cyanogenmod over by yourself. Its a bit of a hassle but anyone who is quite familiar with Linux could probably pull it off. I did a port once on an Alcatel phone and it ran amazingly (still buggy tho).

Next for the Galaxy Ace, yes there are KitKat ports in xda and yes you can download it. Just that they are in Alpha Stage which means a lot of things will not run properly. But there are also quite a lot of stable ROMs in xda, (eg, Xperiance Ace [iCS] ) To find out if there are stable, just read through the forum thread and it shall be quite self explanatory. One thing to be careful is to check the version of your SGA (eg, S5830 or S5830i). Those little mistake can make or break your phone.

As for the I presume Galaxy Gio, it should be same as the Ace.

The basic procedure in getting custom ROM for Samsung devices are usually (Root -> Custom Recovery -> Custom ROM).

Read through the stickies there and usually guides could be found there.

As for the HTC Flyer, it would be pretty much the same as above just one more step is added, which is Unlocking the Bootloader.

Again all these information can be found in the Respective Forum section for the Respective Device.

Hope that this could help you.
