Updating Alcatel Onetouch T10

Total noob here, like grandpa grade noob.

I got an Alcatel Onetouch T10 tablet a year ago, didn't use it, got it out of drawer yesterday because I'd like to use it for internet browsing and playing simple games.

So the trouble is that Google Play won't connect with any of my accounts, even if I submit new ones (says no connection but the wifi is on and the internet browsing works) so I can't download anything, Adobe Flash doesn't want to install itself so browsing is awful... Tried looking to update the Android OS but it doesn't give me any options to update. I think the version is 3.1 or something, have to check it.

What I would like to do is update it to something new so I can connect to Google play, use Flash and browse like I browse on my PC and mobile, like a normal person. I searched and found I can put a custom ROM on it and root it and something but I don't know anything about it. Don't even know what that means. I know a thing or two about computers, top of my actions was jailbreaking my iphone 4.

Please help me with any explanations of what I can do with the tablet as now it's just a piece of junk which I can't use. Anything is better than this. I tried to read guide posts about what to do here on the forums and searched the forum for the answer and all I could find is this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2016643&page=14 (kudos to tinko) but I don't understand a thing here. It's like reading in chinese.

While installing a new ROM you'll have to factory wipe your phone, so the answer is YES :)

Sent from my A18+ with Tapatalk ^-^
[General Questions and Answers] cresch07:
Incorrect, when you install a new ROM, the CWM Wipe Data/Factory Reset option only removes personal information like gmail and game save data. Pictures and music are generally left alone. If you have game data that you want to back up, make a copy of the Android/obb and data folder.

CWM has a seperate option for formatting.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Actually when you do the factory reset/wipe data in CWM, if you pay attention it says "formatting data", so yes it does format internal storage but it only does it to the user storage and not the WHOLE thing, otherwise the system would be wiped also and you would be left with no OS or boot. So in reality the answer is a half YES. I'm not trying to split hairs, just giving a more specific answer for the user that asked, your no is a no for the system partition but its not a no for the rest of internal storage, didn't want the user to think that his user portion is not getting formatted when it actually is because I would assume that this is what he was really asking.
[General Questions and Answers] cresch07:
Yeah your right. I assumed the asker was wondering about his/her personal files.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
When you install a new ROM it actually does reformat the system partition when the new ROM is flashed, the same as if you were to do a clean install of windows or other OS on a pc, it formats the system partition as it flashes because it has to remove the old system data as it writes the new, the user partition must be factory reset to format the user portion so that anything that was saved from the old ROM does not clash with the new because the new ROM may have trouble recognizing or using data from an old ROM, when user data is stored the ROM has to "tag" it so that it knows where it is at so that when needed it can find it and read it, another ROM may not recognize these "tags" when they are from another ROM, some ROMs may recognize these tags and find the data but not be able to load it properly which can crash your system and I'm not sure about this but trying to load this old data can in some cases even soft brick your device but this easily restored in most cases.

Finding Quality Mobile App Developers

I am an absolute newbie to this so much that I have realized as resourceful as I am, finding a quality Mobile App Developer or Team is not an easy one.

In the last two weeks I have spoken with CEO's and VPs of Fortune 10 Companies here in the US as well as Forbes top five in Asia.... My company is working on a mobile app which unlike many other apps today can be monetized on day one.

Yet finding quality developers in the Washington, DC area who are both good at what they do, forward thinking and not the need to be told every step of the way to do types.... is impossible it appears.

Are there forums such as this other than elance and the like to find those young hungry developers? Any and all insight would be appreciative. Ive tried to as asked read through and do search but could not find this type of information anywhere.

If any contributors would like to reach out to me directly I am an email away: rocky@rockdeepmedia.com

Thanks for your effort and time.

You can enter recovery. Turn off your phone. Then hold the power button plus vol down till your phone boots into bootloader. Use your volume keys to navigate to hboot and choose it with the power button. Then use the volume keys to navigate to recovery, and use the power button to select it.

[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Then use ADB to flash the stock recovery. Rename it to recovery.img and put it into your ADB/fastboot folder. Get your phone into fastboot and hook it up to the PC. Open command prompt and direct it to your platform-tools/fastboot folder.

Issue the command fastboot devices to make sure you are connected (a bunch of letters and numbers/ your serial number).

Then issue the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

After that, you will have your stock recovery installed.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I think you need to realize that developers are a fickle bunch, they are like artists and you'll find that you're gonna have a hard time trying to find an artist to do things your way instead of following their own creative vision, there are many talented developers that do good quality work but they don't take too kindly to being put in a box. The good ones have gotten good by thinking outside of the box, if you try to put them back in it then you limit their ability to do what they are best at and if they can't stretch their wings in what you want from them then they're gonna look the other way.

You gotta go to them on their level, not the other way around. You wouldn't go to the doctor and tell him what treatment you want and how you want him to do it, would you?

Another thing, if you are so new to this, then how can you be so selective in judgement of who is worth it and who isn't? Development is not easy and is not a smooth fast moving thing, even for the best of them out there, its time consuming stuff and sometimes takes a while to even work out minor issues, it takes more than one person because its too much work and brainpower for just one person, this is part of the problem, getting what each person in the group does to mesh cohesively, it takes hours, days and even weeks or months to iron out kinks. Even if you have a forward thinking vision of what you want does not mean that it can easily be done, that is the m ain thing that limits technological advancement, many times people have come up with an idea or vision that just doesn't fit in with the technology of the times, that is where patience is necessary because when these situations occur then some new technology or process must be engineered from scratch to innovate the means to carry out the vision.

You spoke to the CEOs and VPs of Fortune 10 companies as well as the CEOs and VPs of Forbes top 5 in Asia?

Did you just give the compaies a call and make an appointment? Like, you just got right in to meetings with the top dogs without having to meet with low level, mid-low level, mid level, high mid level, high level, and just jumped right up to the CEOs and VPs, huh?

While entirely possible, it's far, far from probable. I think whatever your idea is, those top level executives don't even deal with that type of stuff.

I have been using Kaspersky for Android for almost a year now and I have never gotten a warning, until today. I was doing a regular scan when I was interrupted by a pop-up warning message. It had a Kaspersky logo, but I've never seen a warning message from the app so I'm not sure if its genuine. I'm a pretty paranoid person *-*

Then there was this message:

"This app can be used against your interests by criminals: not-a-virus:HEUR:RiskTool.AndroidOS.SMSreg.hc"

Any android antivirus app will find problems with something. Gotta just take it on a step by step basis when you get those pop ups. Honestly kaspersky is junk for any os. Get Avast if you're going to use an antivirus, less problems.

Stock (Nexus Experience) Lollipop Rom for Samsung S5

Hi, I'm looking for a stock I AOSP rom built off Lollipop for the Samsung Galaxy S5 with GAPPS. Basically the closest thing possible to a Nexus experience on the S5. Does a stable version of this exist already? If so can someone point me in the right direction? If not what are the remaining obstacles?

The closest thing I've been able to find so far is CM12 builds but they still seem to be experimental rather than full release and obviously also somewhat modified from stock.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
What you are asking for "technically" wouldn't be a stock ROM. Some variation of CM12 or another based on CM12 is probably all you'll find. There's not much actual development that can be done to a stock ROM and it still be "STOCK".

Also you didn't list what model S5 you have, nor did you list who your carrier is, these are the most important factors in knowing what ROMs to suggest for you because you cant just use ROM for S5, only one for your specific model or carrier unless their are unified builds for the S5 like the d2lte series ROMs for the S3.
[General Questions and Answers] db579:
Thanks, for your reply. Why do you say what I'm asking for wouldn't be stock? I'm not looking for any development or additions beyond what's provided by Google already other than to have it work on the S5. The way I'm picturing this is that the AOSP part effectively stays the same no matter what you're building for but would be compiled with the various hardware binaries depending on what you're loading it onto, is this not correct?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
What are you trying to achieve? What resilts are you looking for? Is there a specific reason you want AOSP stock?

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

You asked for something built "off" of lollipop, something built and pieced together from something else is a custom build not a stock, even if it emulates stock
[General Questions and Answers] db579:
Well I love my Nexus 4 but I also have an S5 lying around. I like the bigger screen, removable/better battery etc on the Samsung but I can't stand the touchwiz/samsung stuff on it. Ideally I want it to run software as close to identical as a Nexus does (I don't care about the extra features Samsung has that stock doesn't). What's the closest I can come to this and how would I achieve it? Still CM12? In which case presumably I should wait until it's stable?

[General Questions and Answers] db579:
Yes GSM. Thanks for the link, it still seems fairly heavily modified from stock though and crucially still based off KitKat rather than Lollipop so not really what I was looking for. I'm wondering if someone can explain to me - since AOSP is available open source and since these roms exist I'm assuming Samsung binaries are also available somehow or other. Is it not possible just to combine them directly, without any major code modifications and load it up? I was expecting this to work more like Ubuntu on laptops just with the hardware drivers needing to be added rather than coming pre-loaded but this doesn't seem to be the case at all?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, these things are pretty specific, even down to the chipset that you have, in some cases you can have two identical devices of the EXACT same model number but what works on on won't work on the other, they can be sitting side by side on the shelf and bought from the same place but still be different. I'm looking at something else

If you don't like the touchwiz stuff then you're not looking for anything stock, you're gonna have to go with something heavily customized to get away from touchwiz.
[General Questions and Answers] db579:
Ah okay, not sure if this is the right place to ask but I'd love to know more about how that has come about/why it's ended up being so specific when laptops and desktops don't seem to have that problem at all.

Okay I guess I'm using the wrong terminology, by stock I meant the bare bones android provided by Google (AOSP as I understand it), not the stock rom that came with the phone. Thanks for claryfying
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
From what I've learned AOSP is just a flavor of android, I don't think it has anything to do with being stock or not, I think some

stock stuff is AOSP. AOSP is Android Open Source Project, then there's AOKP Android Open Kang Project, kangs are just pieces of code that are modified in a ROM like kernels are just a part that can be modified. Theres more than one Android Open _______ Project. All are android, just different flavors, from what I've seen developers say AOSP is cleaner than ROMs like CM.

---------- Post added at 01:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 AM ----------

Well, there are various companies that manufacture android devices, android is a google product, its their baby, just everyone else uses it, the different manufacturers also like pc use different components on the same device it just depends on what region its manufactured in and who they are getting the compnents from at that plant, for example Samsung can have a certain device that is assembled in one region and that plant will use Qualcomm components then have another plant in another region using Exynos components instead and the devices will be the same model but have different parts which then changes certain elements of what can be installed on the device or it may just affect HOW you install mods, it all depends, their is nothing universal of any kind when it comes to android devices.

---------- Post added at 01:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 AM ----------

I forgot to add that not only are devices different from company to company like Samsung or HTC or LG, but each service provider has their own mix, that is why a device of a certain series such as your S5 in America would be different from carrier to carrier, Verizon would be different from AT&T, Sprint would be different than both of them, T-mobile would be different than all of them and so on, just because its an S5 means nothing, the carriers themselves could even have two, three, four or even more different models of the same device on their network and they would all be different. I don't know why they complicate it so much, but its probably got to do with them not wanting us to be able to take one of their phones to a different network or them releasing a device of a different model in an effort to stop people like us from doing our mods.

My T211's CPU temperature stuck on 80 degree celsius.!!!!!!!!

I don't know what happened but the cpu's core temperature is stuck to 80 degree, please help........(after flashing the kernel called werewolf v007)

I am using the app called CPU-Z and even tired on CPU temperature (free)......

I am even afraid to on my tab for too long and that's why I have kept it off.:(

Is it because of overclocked to 1.42 Ghz or because of any other reason?

Any possibilities of getting the cpu temperature low and get it back to normal like 30 to 40 degree.....

Yes before i didn't had this cpu temperature or i wasn't using it at all.....

I used it because i just felt a bit hot and the saw the temperaure , and was damned :crying:

Please help as much fast as you can.......ok?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If flashing the werewolf kernel is what caused your issue then flashing another ROM and doing a factory reset in recovery should have solved it.

Have you tried going back to stock then rerooting/recovery/ROM?

---------- Post added at 02:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------

You should be able to find some kind of application that can tell you what is using so much of your CPU, I have CM security and Cleanmaster on my device and it prompts me when something is draining my CPU, it also prompts me when its too hot also, in both cases just a click of a button kills what is killing CPU and/or turns whatever is causing it be hot off, sometimes things in the background stay running even after you close them or exit, with an OC kernel and a few things in the background on a device that had limited CPU to begin with wouldn't take much to cause an issue, turn your performance control for your kernel down, did the kernel remain after you flashed a ROM over it?
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
I think the problem is your terminology. By stock, we usually mean what comes installed on your device. I believe what you are meant to say is vanilla aosp, which is stock only to Google.

I'm not on Samsung anymore, but CM based builds will be your best bet, as already stated.
