Trying to find out how to root my Coolpad 8730L

Hi, total n00b here.

I have searched these forums for my device, a Coolpad 8730L, but cannot find any reference.

It is a Chinese phone which was given to me to replace my Galaxy Note, but it comes with what I presume is a modified Android 4.3 for the Chinese market.

Q1. I heard that the Chinese Xiaomi phones have a Google Installer package that can be downloaded, but cannot find anything on whether that is available for Coolpad too. Does anyone know or have a link to an apk file?

If such a package is not available for this phone, then I assume that I have to root the device. Problem is that I am on Max OSX (Mavericks) and again I cannot find any references on how to do that and to get Android 4.3 on it once rooted.

Q2. Is there a n00b tutorial that shows how to root such a device for Mac OSX resulting in a phone that can be used by a non-Chinese user (i.e. full access to all Google apps) running Android 4.3?

Would be awesome if someone can help me out! Thanks in advance.

Best choices to maximize android performance

Hello fellas

I really need your guidance for my problems

I want to maximize my android performance. I've been searching around xda threads and i found some options that caught my interest

My options are :

1. Install init.d script tweaks (Operation Killjoy ,Thunderbolt, crossbreeder, etc ). Btw, have someone compare init.d script ? Who is the best among them ?

2. Install tweaking application (System tuner, android tweaker, android tuner, etc ). Again, can you give me suggestion for the best tweaking app ?

3. Install xposed framework and modules.

Do i have to install all of them ? can i combine all of them ?

If not, can you guys give me suggestion ? Which one shoud i choose ?

A lot of thanks from me :good:

download play store apk if you dont have it: https://mega.co.nz/#!YgoG3AwC!qWcJR7_SqyvKGjMeTDtbml0cTJAMPVpaqrh9e3y3H7g

or better flash gapps

you may need to change the country:

1. Firstly you need to login on your Google account

2. After that go to settings

3. Then select edit profile

4. There you will see the country option with drowbox

5. There select your country which you want
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Seems as you already did the most important changes to speed up your system. I think xposed modules are meant for modding your system but not especially for speeding up your phone in the way you want. I don't use any scripts for my phones but really slimmed roms. You can try using scripts but i haven't noticed real improvements doing so. That does not mean scripts are useless at all, its just my opinion. You should not try mixing different scripts as your system will propably become unstable. Slimming down the rom is a really good way. Setting a higher SD Read buffer e.g. 512kb or 2048kb can be usefull. Also setting a lower "swappiness" value can bring a speed buff. A real speed improvement is provided by using a custom kernel if its available for your phone. You can also try different combinations of scheduler/governour

matching your needs.
[General Questions and Answers] kopi 03:
Thanks a lot !!

Unfortunately i cannot find custom kernel for my phone.

According to my knowledge, in order to change governor and scheduler i have to install either script or tweaking app. They have options to change that. So i think i will try to install them.

It will be nice if someone can give me another advice :good:
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Available governours/schedulers are based in the installed kernel. You can use "performance control" found in "fdroid" to change my suggested settings.

Be careful suggesting rom manager to anyone/everyone....It has a tendency to break more than it helps... Google it...
[General Questions and Answers] PiethB:
Unfortunately that is not going to work. This phone has a special Coolpad UI that does not allow for any Google apps. It is a Chinese specific UI and the China Mobile people told me today that the only way to get rid of it is to root the phone.

So, let's assume there is no Google Installer package available for my Coolpad and skip my first question altogether:

I need to root the device (Coolpad 8370L). Problem is that I am on Max OSX (Mavericks) and again I cannot find any references on how to do that and to get Android 4.3 on it once rooted.

Is there a n00b tutorial that shows how to root such a device for Mac OSX resulting in a phone that can be used by a non-Chinese user (i.e. full access to all Google apps) running Android 4.3?

Hey, I am a Samsung Galaxy S 4 user, and a noob, with the 4.4.2 update. By the way, it is an ATT phone, if it helps. I tried rooting my phone using, "The ULTIMATE All-In-One Guide..." ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2314494) and failed after many desperate attempts. First, my computer didn't have a SGS4 driver, so I had to download that, then when I opened the 'Casual' program it said my phone was connected and all was well. After I 'Did it' I reboot my phone and expected to see a blue-ish logo, but instead I was sent to recovery mode. Now I'm stuck without a clue on what to do. My baseband version is I337UCUFNB1. Basically, the question is what do I do when I am in the recovery screen?

Nearly busted my phone

Hi,

I have a Galaxy S3, and regretfully it's running Andriod 4.3. I did not know the bootloader was locked before I started this attempt so now I have a dysfunctional phone. I started by using SuperU to grant root access. I then used Saferoot to root my phone. I then installed goomanager and tried to a reboot in to recovery mode and on boot up got a error kernal message. I was luckily able to get back in to my os by going in to download mode and then rebooting from there.

My problem is now my phone is running like crap. It's very sluggish, numbers take a while to come up, applications are delayed in opening, and worst of all I can't do a factory reset, I get that same kernal error. Is there anyway to get my factory reset to work so I can get it to the condition I purchased it in? I have never tried to install a custom rom so I know now I did the steps wrong, but I am hoping I can get back to where I started even if that's just a fresh install of 4.3 from verizon. Thanks for any help.

S3 on 4.3 has KNOX'ed bootloader. It does not mean locked, you just probably voided your guarantee now, if the Knox warranty is 1, it can't be reset to 0 anymore.

If the hardware is otherwise fine, you don't need it anyway. There are enough threads here how to de-knox it.

After that, you can flash some nice custom ROM, there are plenty enough around here. Just save all your personal data elsewhere before all this.

Pantech seems to originate from South Korea, just like Samsung, and they seemed to have decent cellphones. LG however is more known and Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 is made by LG, so yes, LG is a good phone manufacturer in my opinion, since Nexus's are proven to be solid quality and Google's pure Android makes them smooth as silk performance wise.

If you're looking for budget phones, you should look what OPPO has to offer, their Find 7 is a very affordable phone and has almost the same specs as Note 3 and Nexus 5. It's CPU is even a little better compared to Nexus's Snapdragon 800, because Find 7 has Snapdragon 801.

Noob xperia pro

Hello everybody,

first post in this forum. I successfully followed all instructions for the booloader unlocking and rootinfg of my girlfriend's Xperia Pro (iyokan).

I was about to try out the Carbon ROM for that device, but CWM (installed through x-Parts) keeps telling me that I don't have iyokan, but anzu.

Where is the issue? Can you help me?
[General Questions and Answers] tetakpatak:
There are two likely reasons: either you have managed to install anzu's recovery image, or you have freshly released proper recovery for iyokan where wrong device lines were merged (anzu's instead of iyokan's). It won't allow you to flash anything else but anzu's build what could brick your device if it is iyokan.

The solution: flash another compatible recovery in bootloader mode, TWRP or PhilZ if your device is supported. Flashing zip won't work now.
