Powkiddy X39 Pro

• Update image link (from this Reddit thread)
• Reddit thread for Powkiddy X39/X45/X51/X70 CFW; could be helpful for reverse-engineering the X39 Pro (as a sort of guide)
  • Mentions this GitHub repo (NOT FOR X39 PRO)

vTech KidiBuzz (original and G2)

The original and G2 have identical hardware. This section refers to both.

Uses a MediaTek MT8127 chipset.

Getting third-party apps installed without Amazon AppStore (found on some Reddit thread that I can't be bothered to find again):

1. Copy an APK onto the device (such as F-Droid).
2. Drain the battery (do something battery-intensive for a bit, like playing one of the default games).
3. At some point either once you reach a low enough battery percentage or you plug/unplug the device, you'll get a system notification that your battery is low. Swipe down from that notification to get into the default control pane.
4. Click the Settings gear.
5. Scroll to Storage, click Explore, and go to the Download folder.
6. Tap on the APK you copied over and install it.
7. If needed, you can launch DigiGoAppPermissions (either from Settings or a launcher) to add it to the device's home screen thing.
