So I was wondering about Android Jelly Bean, here are my phone specs:
512 MB ROM
256 MB RAM
CPU MTK6573 650MHz+ARM116-507MHz
Android 2.3.4
if there is anything more you need to know, I will reply, since i can't post outside links.
Now what i wanted to know is if my phone could support Android Jelly Bean, if it can, how can I install it.
I really hope that answers won't be something like "I don't know" or "you can't install it"
If anyone can help me, please do. Much appreciated.

Well... you can... as long as your device has a custom rom that run based on CM10... and a swap partition with at least 512 MB ram.
LG gt540 has the same specs and it can run ICS (dunno about JB).

I read that JB demands even less than ICS, so new question:
What the hell is CM10, how can I check if I have it, or install it (if it is possible), and
What "swap partition" are you talking about, what is that?
As a PC engineer, I have to say that I have no ****ing clue what you just wrote.
If you're phones not popular enough chances are you won't be able to get jelly bean, purely because no developers have made a ROM for it.

Well my phone is from China, a site called Dhgate
I wouldn't agree with you considering that you can find plenty of phones with both JB and ICS

How do you expect to find a JB rom for your phone if nobody has developed for it ? You haven't even given the name of it.

You're right, I'm sorry. My phone name is X15i you can find it on Dhgate, just add this:
/x15i-4-3-inch-quad-band-android-2-3-capacitive/p-ff808081353bfcc301355fff686e1141.html
I thought considering that one android version can be installed on all sorts of phones the specs of my phone would be enough, since it doesn't have a company manufacturer (samsung, lg, etc.) but a Chinese phone. If they can install Android operating systems on other Chinese phones, I'm sure that there is a way for me to install another Android on my phone.
On a computer, when you install an OS, you don't look for manufacturers and developers, you look for hardware specifications. You can't install Windows 8 on a Pentium III and expect it to run smoothly, instead you put Windows 95.
The problem is I don't know whether JB is Win 8 or Win 95 and will my phone support it.
It all depends whether someone port jellybean to your device.
BTW which device do you own

CM10 is a custom after market firmware based on Android 4.1 It's basically JB with a lot of features and improvements. You can check if anyone has made it by using Google. Also it doesn't matter what company made the phone, but if no developer made a custom JB ROM for it then you're out of luck. With Android it's a bit different than with computers as far as OS installation goes. And for your swap question, the windows counterpart would be Page file.

When you install Windows on a PC you have access to multiple drivers (even generic ones) for all the hardware that comprises the PC, no driver then that piece of hardware won't function. An Android build includes the necessary "drivers" for a specific device so you need a build built specifically for your device for everything to work.
Your phone, by looking at specs would not support Jelly Bean. The processor isn't fast enough to run it very smooth in my opinion. As said before, swap partition (windows page file) would fix the RAM issue because JB would never be able to run on only 256MB. Look around on Google for a ROM for your phone but honestly, the most I see your phone running smoothly and without problem based off its specs is Gingerbread and MAYBE Honeycomb but that's it.

The specs aren't that bad to be honest. Its a dual core/CPU phone and there are single core 600MHz phones running ICS just fine.
RAM is definitely and issue although even with 256MB it should run okay provided you don't use too many apps. My old X8 runs ICS and JB decently with only 192MB usable RAM. And Thad bit about honeycomb is irrelevant seeing as its a tablet OS.
Have a look around on the Chinese forums, there should be a ROM lying around or at least instructions on how to root

Also it's impossible to run a Honeycomb ROM simply because there aren't any. Google never released the source for it.

No it got released along with ICS. One of our devs even managed to make a honeycomb ROM for the X8 lol.

Android aint like a pc you that can install any os. Android phones need os like ics or jellybean to be made by the phone manufacturer. If there's a dev for it, it can make a custom one like cm10,aokp, or muie, by hacking it, to run all hardware in phone.
Technically the stock honeycomb version is a ROM. Also, I know it's a tablet OS but I'm saying from a hardware specification perspective it would run it. And as said, source was released.

Hello all ,
Recently I purchased an unbranded Chinese Tablet with Tegra2 chip which is running Android 2.2 At the moment.
I have found out there is no Software lock nor restrictions on changing the ROM on this tablet. So I would like to put a custom ROM on it if possible.
I have two questions :
1- Is there any system requirements I should be aware before putting any custom ROM on my device? for example any specific PBC board/chipset or other component?
2- What is the best custom Adnroid 3 series ROM ( with the most stability and functionality ) which is designed for Tegra2 chipset?
Please go easy on me as I am new and would like to expand my knowledge with productive help of people here
Thanks
If you run an Android 2.2- 2.3 then there's certainly no. At least none with more then a tegra2. I think you could simply run like all ROMs.
Because I am looking for ROMs also, I think I saw something interesting.
But is your tablet copied? Just, tge chinese made it cheaper?
Then you should search on that tablet on XDA
Regards
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Yea the tablet is copied from other ones , obviously does not have the same specification hence the cheap price. And it has only 512MB RAM which is not a problem for me as I am not a gamer.
But I am sure some ROMs work with certain hardware and setup better than others.
I have to get more hardware detail when I have the tablet in hand.
However I prefer to have more information first. So any help and suggestion is appreciated.
I'm specifically looking for android 3.0 and newer version which is compatible with the device
** Any assistance? ***
Sorry for late reply...
I am really sorry, but I have no experience with tablets and Chinese tablets. I am sorry.
But if you flash recovery with ROM manager nothing can go wrong because you can always go back!

From what I've heard, I believe the G1 is receiving the JB update and that's the 1st ever android device so from that, I've concluded you don't need any kind of serious hardware for the update. I could be totally wrong though so take it for what it is... an assumption. But I'm pretty sure updates for specific devices are decided by the manufacturer based on what they feel like maintaining and what they don't. I'm sure if you checked you devices manufacturer's website, it will tell you if you're device will receive it.

In the sense, you are totally wrong if you mean a stock ROM. The g1 may have a custom jellybean ROM, but I hear no jellybean update at all. And also, few phones will be receiving official jellybean, such as the galaxy s 3 or maybe the gs2.

Yes, I believe you're correct. MSM8255 should be the bare minimum to update to ICS or JB, I don't think Hummingbird should be for JB, because the Galaxy S isn't getting updated to ICS. Even though phones below this requirement, there will always be ROMs that you can install

Hello folks, i'm new to this forum and new to the world of smartphones. own a windows phone but have an inquiry about android which i'm sure my genious brothers here will have an answer to. if i buy an android device that has android 2.3 gingerbread and is not upgradeable to version 4.0 ICS, will the apps work fine on the phone. i have the habit of using my phones for atleast 2 years. so if i'm using an android 2.3 version phone for the next 2 years, will the apps work on my phone? like they wont ask for update of the operating system of the phone?
like in Iphone you need to have the last ios to install and use instagram. is the same case with android too?

Google will be phasing out old versions of android, and developers may make the switch to newer android systems as well. Currently, about 60-80% or more of the apps currently can support Gingerbread, since Gingerbread devices make up 50% of android devices in the world. (More info here.) I figure, your phone could probably be supported for another year.
If you are clinging on to a phone for 2 years, get a good one! Most ICS Android devices are not too expensive. If your phone is a popularly branded one (Samsung, HTC, Motorola), and if you are willing to take risks, you might be able to upgrade the firmware in your machine, unofficially though.
Now let me type this out for you....
Every time Google releases a new os they release the platform sdk along with the actual source code.... Next developers download these and start building their apps.... Assume that you are a developer and you set the build sdk to a higher android version say ICS then if your phone is on gb you can't run it so it is at the helms of the developers to decide to support an older platform or not.... And forward compability is possible in android reverse compability may or may not work.... Any doubts post it below I would be happy to respond sir...

imho ace is not what op is looking for. by todays standard, amv6 phone is a big no-no.
PLEASE KEEP TO TOPIC
This thread is about the actual functionality of the New Jelly Bean update for the Desire X
and not whether you have it or not. Thats discussed on other threads.
I have come from Froyo on the Wildfire to the DX with ICS...well i can still do all what i have done in the past, but much better.
What improvements will JB bring to the DX. Can some one explain what we should see.
I have seen some one already explain, but it would be nice to get another point of view.
Some have issues and some dont, it confusing for us noobs:silly:
What is the hype behind it.
The reason why i am concerned is that some guys want to revert back to ICS, and thats not what it should be. JB should be an improvement.
lastly, the few hicups people have with the latest JB, could it be to an app or user related issue.

Same as you I have came from Froyo to Jelly Bean itself first of all the update was great Speed improvements were there (example is scrolling wallpapers in personalize its feels like the HTC One. Second the new software We all know Beats audio got screwed up by the OTA but HTC fixed it with anothe OTA and now bass is back This Update also enables us to test new software and to discover new things with Sense 4+ and also a feel of Jelly Bean, remember not all devices could get an update from their own manufacturers so were lucky enough to get this lol now we just need to deodex the stock JB ROM and custom ROMs would be all over the forum (I could do one now just no time to deodex the JB Stock ROM).

See it this way,
Jelly bean is the LATEST android OS (although 4.2 > 4.1) but still, the CURRENT SUPER PHONE (HTC ONE) which gives Galaxy IV a scare, was also on 4.1.2 and will get 4.2.2 in a few days. So technically, after JB update, we are having one of the most updated devices around for such money.
Think again what happens to similarly priced samsung n sony phones, (believe me, most are stuck at ICS officially forever).
ON-TOPIC:
JB Sense4+ might not be what you expect, BUT the kernel source code, and libs will enable atis112 and others to port FULLY WORKING CM10 ROMS with Project Butter.
We'll soon get kernel 3.4 source which will be a platform for YEARS to come and keep this device alive. believe me.
My cousins with xperia U/sola, galaxy duos, etc will be stuck @ ICS officially.

Although i dont understand your last sentence, but it does sound good any way.
I said yesterday that Jelly bean is not so cool..i was stupid, its f....n awesome. Its faster than ICS, web browser and downaloading too. Right now my download speed is 2,5mb/s. With ICS it was hardly reach 1mb/s. Google Now is really good, i can search the nearest restaurent with my voice and it supports hungarian so its good for those who dont speak english (like me )

I'd like to say something on this thing since Yasir already mentioned it(sorry op kind of off-topic)
the 3.4 kernel is actually very exciting because currently barring HTC jb devices this is present on only the latest nexus devices(4, 10) only even nexus 7 is on 3.1 and Samsung devices(yes even s3) is on 3.0 .Thus we are currently on the latest version (officially not true android on 3.8 but we are one of the top few and latest currently) . Also this proves that HTC put a lot of effort (yeah was a Samsung Guy so I know what I'm talking about) thus according to me we should get 4.2 also(surity of about 83%) the real question will be if we get 5.0 or not.
PS I like the stripped down sense.

Well, it did just come out. CM hasn't even started on it. Can't say I expect a build for at least a month, could be wrong though.
It doesn't run better on lesser hardware per se, just uses less RAM. I don't think we've really been having issues with memory, and we're still stuck with our slow Snapdragon S3.
With the amount of devs the TouchPad has, we are relying on just a handful of people to get 4.4 on it. I feel 4.3 barely made it to the TouchPad. I would love Kitkat on my beloved tablet but I hate to say that I have my doubts.

If someone does though, I just hope its as usable as it is currently. I have a Galaxy Nexus and I am already seeing bugs with ports to that device. Which isnt normal with a Nexus device. So the TouchPad may not be any better. Dont get me wrong, I really hope we see something though.

The galaxy nexus is a problematic device. First, google already said no-kitkat for the GN. Second, it's cpu and TI demise.
Your galaxy nexus is now on the list of abandoned nexus devices.
Now, regarding out tablet, first it's a qualcomm so we're not all alone on this one, but it's a very unsuported and old-unknown-binaries rom.
MAYBE someone figures out how to get the camera and bluetooth working. I keep my hopes high.
Not ready
I'm still having problems getting 4.3 settled on my TP. Too many issues (including repartitioning) still need to be solved first.

I am positive that someone will be get Android 4.4 to work especially with the fact that it uses less RAM for running the applications. Usually XDA and Rootzwiki member drmarble helps at getting the initial work for the next version of Android to work. He helped get Android 4.3 (CM 10.1 and 10.2) to work on the Touchpad. And of course JCSullins will help with developing for Android 4.4.
I am sure ROM builders like Milaq and Shumash will provide CM 11 ROMs that are Android 4.4 based although I wouldn't expect to see a CM 11 ROM until January/February at the earliest and until the official CM 11 development has begun.

It seems to be more of the integration of other devices and their data harvesting than any user advantages.
Despite the name, and an actual marketing contract with nestle this time, i personally think they chose the right theme colour.

6.To transfer files to PC, turn on USB mass Storage from the USB connection notification on the Android device.
Note(Important): Backup and transfer all your SDcard files to PC. This is a testing build and could wipe files from your SDcard data.
[Note(Important): I would recommend increasing the size of your System Partition for this build. After my install I had 398/400MB free, so Flash the 512MB zip below or use Tailor to adjust the size.
Note(Important): This is an Android Open Source Project (AOSP) rom not a CyanogenMod (CM) rom. Dirty flashing an AOSP rom over a CM rom can causes errors and rebooting issues. Always do a clean install when moving from CM to AOSP and vise versa.
Flash through recovery to change the partition size to 512MB(Gradular&codycoyote)
