Flashing unsupported apps?

OK so let's say my android phone has 716MB maximum RAM and the app I want to run requires 1GB+ RAM... If I try to force flash it with TWRP recovery, would it make any harm on my phone? And most importantly, would I be able to run it?
Thanks!

Creating Recovery for Unsupported Phone

I recently rooted my phone and I would like to make a backup before I mess around with a few things. The phone I have is a Galaxy K Zoom. It's running 4.4.2 Kitkat.

My problem is that CWM and TWRP don't seem to work. CWM tells me that my phone is unsupported, and TWRP says it will backup, but when it reboots to create it, I get an error. Is there another recovery app that is available? Or am I stuck having to restore to stock if I soft brick it? I'm ok even using ADB and/or Odin to flash it back to the phone, but I just need to make a recovery to start with.

Also, I have a recovery file that I found in a rooting thread for my phone. Won't that recovery file restore to their phone's settings? How can I make my own? I'm sort of a noob at this, so sorry for asking.

Thanks in advance :o and I really hope I get get some direction here. I'm more than willing to read through threads, I just don't know if I'm searching for the right terms. I noticed that there have been some posts on this before and there were no replies. Hopefully I can get one!

SD Card showing Unsupported and Unmounting automatically on Android, fine in laptop

Hi,

My Sandisk Ultra 32GB microsd card is not getting mounted on my Moto X Play from yesterday on. It was working perfectly before that.

Problem in Detail: Yesterday when i tried to play some music only I realized that its not getting mounted. I tried removing the card and reinserting it. But it's not showing up any notification. When I went to 'Storage and USB' settings suddenly after reboot, its showing 'Unsupported' for a minute and is getting unmounted automatically.

Possible Cause: One of my friend connected my phone with USB cable to his laptop day before yesterday for transferring data. I dunno exactly whether its infected or he didn't eject it properly.

What all I Tried: Initially, I tried connecting it to my laptop using Card Reader. Fortunately, everything was fine inside the system. The file system FAT32, all the data it had, and no memory was unallocated. Afterwards I did a quick format and a complete format as well, with file system FAT32. Both didn't help anyway. Then I installed mini tool partition wizard. But haven't done anything with that yet.

Kindly help me with this ASAP.

Adding an unsupported language to a custom rom

My phone : Alcatel One Touch Pop C5
System version was 4.2.2 and now it's 5.0.2 (custom rom of course)
So my phone sucks .. Can't run lots of games .. Can't open messenger and whatsapp/Facebook lite at the same time ... Till i found a rom .. An awesome rom which can run lots of games without closing ...
The rom is perfect but it only has 1 problem .. It doesn't have support the Arabic language and i'm an Arabian!
Is there a way to add the Arabic Language (or font) to the system/rom ?

Porting a Custom Recovery to an Unsupported Device and Flashing

Hey XDA,

Finally took the leap and started doing a little developing. I have successfully setup Linux, a build environment, and compiled a custom CWM recovery for my device. I noticed some things along the way that made me very weary of actually flashing it.

Here is some of my output:
PLATFORM_VERSION_CODENAME=REL
PLATFORM_VERSION=4.2.2
CM_VERSION=10.1-20160720-UNOFFICIAL-q80
TARGET_PRODUCT=cm_q80
TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=eng
TARGET_BUILD_TYPE=release
TARGET_BUILD_APPS=
TARGET_ARCH=arm
TARGET_ARCH_VARIANT=armv7-a-neon
HOST_ARCH=x86
HOST_OS=linux
HOST_OS_EXTRA=Linux-4.4.0-28-generic-x86_64-with-debian-stretch-sid
HOST_BUILD_TYPE=release
BUILD_ID=JDQ39E
OUT_DIR=/home/lin/cm-10.1/out
============================================
Platform version = Android Version right? This is building for Kit-Kat so I cant use this on my device.? My Target_ARCH_Variant is armv7-a-neon is this okay to use with Krait?

Here is my target device specs:
MSM8974 Krait ARMv7
Android 6.0.1
ADB rooted, I’m having issue getting SU to work properly on the device.
Build Number says dev-keys at the end what does this mean?


I attempted to re-flash my clean stock recovery pulled from the device as a test run and can’t even get that to work. Since my build says dev-keys does that mean that the keys are located somewhere on the device so I can sign an update.zip that will flash through the stock recovery? AFAIK there is no ODIN-like tool or download mode I can get into. I have the flash_image binary on the device. When I run flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img I get this message:
“Error scanning partitions: No such file or directory”

Are there any other options to flash my recovery.img? My recovery partition is located at mmcblk0p20. I have been out of the loop for a while now. Is CMW recovery dead these days? The guides I'm using are probably pretty old as well. Been having a lot of fun so far but I seem to have hit a wall. Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks!

Unsupported SanDisk SD card problem after factory reset

Hi guys,
I have hard-reset my Moto G 2nd Gen after some confusion. I have taken the SD card out of the phone before resetting it. Now after hard-reset, when I insert my SD card into the phone, it says "Unsupported SanDisk SD card" and ask me to format it to use either as a portable storage or as internal storage.
This card has some important data of mine, e.g. Photos, whatsapp backup and few other backups. How can I solve this problem? I want to use this card as is in phone. Can I take backup of it's data if it's required to format this card?
I know I have asked too many questions, I hope you can understand my situation here. :crying:

Help with building CM11 for my unsupported device.

Hi.
Im going to build CM 11 for my unsupported device LG Optimus Lte2. I need help with many steps as im a newbie.
1) First of all are the steps explained here all which i need to do or do i have to do some extra steps with my mobile's boot.img as my mobile is an unsupported mobile.

2) i am very confused with making the local manifest for downloading my mobile's device tree, kernel and vendor.
To be honest idk where to get these three files from. I found a link on github but i dont know to recognize a device tree so can someone please tell me if this is a device tree? https://github.com/zcop/android_devi..._d1lkt?files=1
Please also tell if i download the kernel and vendor file found in that link or any other?

I would be very delighted if someone can make the local manifest file for me using the above link or atleast explain to me in noob-friendly way about how to make it.

3) After that i have to make device tree compatible just by changing the name and some contents of some files as shown in this post. Am i right? But in the post it was shown for slim rom. I replace slim with cm, right?

After that i compile the rom.

Is that all?

Petition to Require Unsupported Devices to have Bootloader Unlocked

Here is my formal petition for carriers and manufacturers to unlock the bootloaders of handsets they are not providing updates.
1. Updates are not being provided for in timely manner
2. Capable devices are not being updated and consumers are left at risk or forced to pay for on open source OS.
3. Consumers are not gaining full control of devices that no longer property of carriers and manufacturers.

Selling apps on Google Play Store for developers from "unsupported countries"

Hi,
I would like to ask if anyone knows some companies that offer possibility of selling apps on Google Play Store on a behalf of a developer whose country is not supported by Google's Play Merchant system. Basically, the agents/companies should offer opening accounts on Google Play on a behalf of a developer.

Thanks.

Adding Unsupported network bands via headphone jack

As the tittle says, is it possible to add an antenna in the headphone jack that will allow all bands to be supported. Just like you can attach an infrared sensor and nfc smart pay chip via headphone jack. This would be really helpful as many bands are not supported by overseas phones.
