Could someone please provide a link the the system requirements to install and run Android v. 4.3? Is there a common repository for this. I have an old system and wish to determine if I can get the latest O/S loaded and operational. Thanks, Grego51
PS: I will need to load it via KDZ.
android 4.3 isn't official out...
The version of Galaxy S4 was just a leaked version(or a faked)
So nobody will be able to give you a link
You could try to run android 4.2.2

I want to know too. I have a Chinese dual SIM which I would like to update. Is there a standard or generic Android OS updater?

Of course not. There are many different devices, so is very difficult develop a tool like that.
To both: The updates are device-dependant, so you need to wait for updates from your manufacturer device. However, you can try a ROM developed for the chipset of your device (you can get the model using CPU Identifier). Of course, this way gives no guaranties of good functionality.
whats the difference between the old and new android os version in any rom? how can i upgrade it?
example: i have an android phone with version 4.2.2 and i want my phone to use android 4.4 upgrade, but the OEM not provide the updates, so i would update it myself, but i dunno how to make it happen, so i need your help to tell me what must i know before i make it happen
there is so much tutorial made me confused how to do
so i ask you instead who had upgrade your android os yourself ( tell me everything you know )
thanks before for your help

Hi there,
Since its a GENERIC TABLET made by an unknown Chinese manufacturer, it's impossible to get a firmware update. The best way is for you to create a custom version of android using LINEAGE OS, and also porting a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP. But even though you have successfully created the OS you might not be able to install it on your Chinese Tablet.
Anyways if something happened during the process here's the link to download the stock firmware for that tablet :

USE SPFLASH TOOL TO install the firmware since it is an MTK device.

Yeah i started to go that route but have been unable to find a recovery for it or a lineage version for it. is it possible to use a twrp and linage for a different but similiar tablet?

Hi there,
Yeah Twrp is just a recovery software, and Lineage is just a custom ROM, so you can use it on a different tablet. But again you have to port those two software for it to work.
However you can research it on google to see how to port them on different phones or tablets.

A latest Custom ROM for that phone doesn't exist. IMHO it's on you to find a Custom ROM ( more than 10 are available ) what matches your needs and is applicable to that phone.
BTW:
You can send mail to Google in order to get answered the question what Android version is necessary

Thanks for the response. I am not an expert with these. When I find a ROM, is there a way to know whether it's applicable to a particular phone?
I have been trying to find a method to update the android version on Hisilicon Hi3796 M100 android Set top box which is at present running android 4.4.2. As the android is this old, it doesn't support a good number of apps, from playstore, or by adb. I tried to find a custom rom online, but couldn't find. Is there one? Or is there any way to update the os if there is no official update available?
Moving from Android 4.4.2 to Android 5.0+ is an upgrade not an update.
To upgrade you need a Custom ROM what requires you have to flash a Custom Recovery ( e.g. TWRP ) before. Do you have a 100% matching TWRP available?
Hey,
Thank you for the quick reply. And thank you again for correcting that update-upgrade thing. Will keep it in mind.
And I am sorry I couldn't find a custom ROM for my device online. I am not sure what exactly it means by flashing a custom recovery.
Could you please explain it a little bit... or give some link from where I could find it out?
Thank you.

No. I searched everywhere I could and there is not even remotely matching TWRP available.
