Anyone can suggest a custom rom for this...??????????????????

[WuddaWaste]

I recommending doing everything you can to determine the actual brand name and model number of the phone you bought. If at all possible, only install ROMs made for your specific phone. What problems are you having with the stock firmware?

[prometheusgr]

Well contacts dont work properly,menus and apps are available only in english,over all i have battery heating problems poor wifi performance,low in call audio VERY slow performance overall for its specs.

Plus not to mention that when i try to backup the rom with mtk tools it says that the phone has unknown partition configuration.

i think whoever cooked the current rom was in a great hurry.

The stats reported i guess are fake cause simple reason if 1 gb ram is reported and you have 32 mb available with only the basics loaded something sure isnt right.

ro.product.baseband=MT6589
ro.product.board=sp6825c2

this is looking more like a spreadtrum CPU than a Mediatek
see correction my next post
2) That would explain the partition info being unknown to mtk droid as its not a mediatek

3) as soon as you know its a fake.....start complaining loudly to the seller to ask for a full refund.

[prometheusgr]

well its not a mediatek after all but are there any decent roms for this?IT IS a spreadtrum so how do i make it less painfull that thing travelled 2 months to get here...Any good roms for that?

[aus9]

don't assume I am right please.

Have you confirmed your specs indicate a fake?

if so, try for a refund first.

2) don't use spec device use playstore app = cpu-z
to check your real specs

good luck

Hey, I have just picked this same phone up from [snip] and looking to do some modifications

I desperately need a copy of the original Contacts.apk and ContactProvider.apk including their .ODEX files, as I have accidentally removed my own and I am struggling to get any alternatives to work. The are found in System/apps

prometheusgr are you able to send these over to me please?

The phone is actually the specs below

Spreadtrum SC8825 CPU Dual Core
Spreadtrum SC6825 Mainboard
MALI 400 GFX
256MB RAM
2GB ROM
Running Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 but a heavily modified version
