Installing Android on fake iPhone 4

[NGD1]

Seems like the Eris had 256 MB of RAM.

i think an older varient of android could run on 256 like 2.1 or something, i think my friends samsung transform only had 256.

Ok, so taking off the back case has not helped me at all. There is only another plastic cover, do not want to take that off as it could potentially break something I do not want to break.

surely there must be a way to find out what phone I have? All suggestions deeply appriciated.

I have downloaded an app called Android System Info and it has given me some more information.

What do I need to do from here? I have no idea what is the best way forward? I would like to have an english version of Android on the phone and then from there if an Iphone interface is practical ok, not too bothered but it would be nice.

I have a very small idea of what rooting and putting a ROM onto it means. But by no means pretend I know how to do it or what it actually does.

I'm not tottally stupid though (haha) able to follow instruction etc.

Search for mt6573. There are lots of results so you will have to do some digging.

Thank you. I will get started.

You have been really helpful.

Could I ask where I can find information on what rooting is and also what putting "a ROM on it" means.

I can guess at it, but think better to actually know.

I would feel alot more comfortable when carrying out the operations if I knew what effects my actions had type of thing.

Sorry also, is mtk 6573 the same as mt 6573 ?

What is root or being rooted mean? - Android Forums

Brilliant. I am downloading SuperOneClick v2.3.3 to root the phone.

Next step after that would be to put the ROM onto it I assume. Should I be looking for an english version of Android ? Does it matter which version of Android I go for?

Another stupid question, but I promise I am learning alot as we go along.

How do I know which ROm is for my phone if I have a fake iphone, as I do not know which phone I have....?

Given that it's a knock-off iPhone that isn't using Android in the first place, the chances of putting Android on it are pretty close to zero. Yeh, the hardware usually is quite poor with these things.

See my post #37 in this thread...

It applies for very much any knock-off iPhone.

 

[gedthea]

Welcome to the Android Forums, that's a really good question. I bet if we can figure out what model your phone is we may be able to see if it's hackable/how easy it would be to put Android on it. The thing that really matters is a dev would need to own the same phone, and depending on what model you have it may not have been tried yet.

I also have the samae problem like this
Model : A1332
EMC: 380A
FCCID:BCG-E280A
IC:579C-E2380

Or better still don't buy any fake china iphone or whatever.
These phones just make you sick and wondered why you ever bought one like i did. Well we learn from our mistake
and its a costly one. So forget about fake china phone.
They only give you headache.

when buying a china phone you really have to read or you get screwed... I bought a Star W007 and I love it... A friend wants to buy it and even tho I'm not using it anymore I still wanna keep it... It has ICS 4.0.4 on it with a 1ghz dual core, 512 mb of ram 2 gb of internal storage and was very easy to root using restore... moral of the story is make sure the wcdma or hspa has 850/1900 for north America and buy from a buyer with a excellent reputation...
