[Q] Novice Question regarding Android OS updates and Rom Development - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok I am not sure how to ask this question so I will explain exactly what I want to do and why I'd like to do it if possible. I have an iReadyGo Much G2 android phone and it is running Android 4.2 but I really want an Android Wear watch which requires 4.3. I don't expect this phone to receive an update anytime soon so I want to know if it would be possible to develop a ROM to bring this phone up to speed and put Android 4.3 on it.

[Q] About updating to JellyBean 4.1.1

Hi, i just want to know if i can just straight away update my phone to Jellybean from Ice cream sandwich because my phone is rooted. Am i suppose to unroot it or can i just update? Thanks in advance.
Nope. It's device specific. A developer has to adapt drivers and other software to allow android to work with your hardware.
If you can find your device model on XDA, you'd probably find some jellybean ROMS (software) for your phone.
P.S. Go read android terminology and stickies!

[Q] Tmobile Samsung GS2 (JB OTA hits what should i do before update?)

Hiya all
I'm new to these forums but ive lurked for a bit off and on.
However I felt it was time to join up as I am getting more and more involved with android development.
Here is the current scenario: I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 (SGH-T989) Currently running the stock firmware (ICS).
I am also rooted and fully enjoy the device and it's flawless operation. But I want to move on to Jellybean as I have heard quite a bit of positive feedback from many users of the newest flavor of android. As such this brings me to my first question rooting after the update.
As I understand it when I update with the OTA JB (that's constantly prompting me) I will be back to a out of box device, No apps, no tweaks, and even worse no root? (if my understanding is faulty or not on point please correct me)
Secondly Has anybody rooted the stock JB with this model of the SSGS2? if so please be as so kind as to direct me to relevant documentation or guides.
That being said Thank you all for your time and I look forward to geeking out on android with all of you from here on out.

Cheers!

How to get Android 4.3 on my phone

I see a theme here says Android 4.4 has been released, currently only a small number of the phone will likely install Android 4.4 system, I just bought the THL W8S phone, it is Android 4.2, although it can not upgrade to Android 4.4, I think it should be able to upgrade to Android 4.3, You tried to put his mobile phone to upgrade to the Android 4.3? Is there any way? Can any one know how to get that? Please guide me, thank you

4.4 isn't out.. yet.
It's a chinese dual chip phone, isn't it? It'll be hard to find decent developers to get their hands on it.
I don't think it's just a matter of "BLAM! ANDROID 4.3 INSTALLED!". There are drivers, frameworks and stuff, things that'll surely be hard to find. Maybe if you look into a chinese xda-developers like forum?

Android 4.3 ?

[Q] How to "un"flash a custom ROM.

Hi, I currently use a Rooted Nexus 5. After looking on the internet I could not find any guide regarding this.. I currently run CM 11 on it and I really want to try Android L/5.0 and I want more stability since CM 11, for me has quite a few bugs. However I want to keep my device rooted due to all of the beneficial features associated with it. Since the recovery menu is not default anymore as well, I have no idea how to make that happen since I can't find anywhere how to flash Android L. So I ask for help on this matter, hoping that one of you takes the time to respond.
Thanks in Advance, Ingazi (CM Version: 11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-hammerhead)

I loved the holo ui on android jelly bean, and i own a phone with android marshmallow, my question is can i make a android 4.3 rom for my devices, if yes can i just follow a guide on the internet about compiling your own rom, or no, why not? I can't find anybody who don't want to update and just wants the newest possible, i have been googleing for a couple moths but i really can't find anything,
