Modding
Due to the obscure and highly undocumented chipset used in this phone, there were not many custom ROMs or mods for the Xcover.

Two very unstable builds of CyanogenMod 9 (Android 4.0) are known to exist for this device, as well as ClockworkMod recovery and some work on an overclocked kernel.
