Clone Phone FAQ

[aus9]

Hi

How do I root my clone phone? (extra suggestion)
"Most"phones with mediatek chipsets and therefore I assume clones as well can be rooted with framaroot


suggested extra FAQ under .....I already have a clone. Now what?

My clone did not come with google apps (=gapps)
######################################
1) go into system settings -> Security and tick (or turn on) "Allow unknown sources"

2) google your android version and ultra slim gapps
eg 4.2.2 ultra slim gapps
----The first google hit should be for a forum so click into it and download the zip file

(Ultra slim means download is maybe 10 Mb instead of some which can be closer to 100 Mb)

3) unzip the file will reveal an apk file.....use the file manager to move it to the top level of your SD card.

4) click on the file should give a menu to install it.

5) Optional, turn off trust for unknown sources in System Settings after install.

My phone does not have my language
############################
Once gapps is installed search playstore for locale
----there are at least 3 locale setting apps here but depends on Android version

My phone has bad keyboard or wrong language input method
##############################################
Not quite the same as locale, your keyboard may be able to be changed with gapps

Go into System Settings -> Language and input
Choose a different input app if available

Otherwise go into playstore and search for keyboard and your language
---keyboard layouts may exist under one app or need a specific app

Optional-----search for talk to text
---> there are a number of apps that can convert your speech (or claim to) as an input method

good luck
