Are you one of the savvy buyer who picked up the Coolpad F1 or F2? If so you have some great Lollipop news on the way but you have a long wait.
Coolpad have released a time schedule for the release of their next Android update, which will see the device updated to Coolui 6.0.
The first updates will roll out in February for the F1 and F2 and will bring Coolui 6.0 based on Android 4.4 Kitkat. Not all the versions will get the Kitkat update, but they will all get Android 5.0 Lollipop eventually.
Gizchina News of the week
Looking over the update release we see that all versions of the Coolpad F1 and F2 with the first Lollipop roll out in March, however some owners will need to wait until July before they see the current version of Android on their phones.

Nice to see a Chinese manufacturer actually showing ‘willing’ and updating their devices. I think ROM updates are the final piece of the puzzle for China phones to make them more appealing, and although it will be a long wait for some at least it is coming!
I agree. Now that some manufacturers are readily updating their devices, the phone wars are only going to get more exciting.
and MOAR profitable!
Nice ! I’m a lucky F1 W owner and hopefully this will be a reality ! Still to know is if some of the AOSP rom’s will be able to be ported to 5.0.
Currently this brings a big change of about 5000 points in Antutu’s performance marks.
Sounds really good.

I’m a happy user of the F1, Coolpad already did a major update from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2, and now plans Lollipop… for a chinese brand (and not only) this is a really amazing support for a device!

Don’t think I’ll be buying a Coolpad phone ever, no matter how great a deal they look. A company that puts this kind of backdoors in their firmware deserves a kick in the rear by no ne buying their stuff anymore.

Guys i’ve customized and made myself quite a few roms. Regarding the backdoor on Coolpad F1: There are COUNTLESS custom roms out there that do not include this crap. I will personally buy one more F1 as a backup…
Check out the needrom section on F1 – All aosp roms that i tried (and countless of them i did) are clean as gold. Since I also made my own custom rom and personally decompiled every apk and *.so i could think of i can safely say that if you are on a custom one you are ok.
Rom Recommendations: Laeks repack rom(oldie but goldie), the maucat roms extensively covered on modaco and the Alg0r1thm rom on myphone.gr forum. As i hear the new vanilla aosp is awesome and crap free as well. The micromax a310 (f1 renamed version for sale in idia) has a whole decrappified rom discussion on modaco. You install a310 modded roms directly from cwm after you root.
That is the beauty of Android (even on closed source mediatek kernels): We can rip the guts of the device apart and do whatever we want.
Please do yourself a favour: Root, install cwm and get rid of CoolUi completely. Before installing a new custom rom if you are curious you can simply unpack the rom and its /system folder and see if this trash exists.
And don’t bash the Chinese: To a money-savvy individual these are godsent gifts. I will _never_ buy overpriced samsung crap again. Whenever you want a chinese phone do some research first, check out the available community roms and go for it.
I have bought 5 Coolpad f1 devices for friends and family: rooted, installed AOSP roms and gave them to their owners. They are amazed and mindblown.
Thanks for your feedback above, what do you think about the new Coolpad X7 ? Will it have custom rom support like its siblings ? I am considering this phone or Jiayu S3.
I am thinking of buying the Coolpad Dashen F2. Are there roms for this model?

i think Himax Polymer (rebranded version of Coolpad F1 in Indonesia) will get Android 5.0 AOSP.
Himax released 2 AOSP Kitkat updates.
