After the release of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich source code developers and normal users rejoiced, with hopes that their device would soon run the new software or that their applications would become more feature-rich with new APIs. However, often overlooked are the details. For those still waiting for ICS on their device I've ported the latest iteration of the stock Calculator2 app to work on Android 2.1 Eclair up to 2.3 Gingerbread.
Check out the screen shots below or give it a try yourself, the APK is available here and the source code is freely available on GitHub.
phone: Xperia X10 w/Eclair (firmware 2.1)
carrier: AT&T
desired OS: Ice Cream Sandwich
I want to root (? root or flash?) my phone so I am not stuck with Eclair (which AT&T refuses to update to anything newer).
Can I do this since Eclair is many many many versions ago?
Can someone give me a starting point or some pointers where to begin, i.e. once I ROOT and get my phone back up OK, can I then just upgrade from Eclair to Froyo to Gingerbread to Honeycomb to Ice Cream? or do I just go immediately from Eclair to Ice Cream?
Many thanks!

Samsung rolls out Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for the Galaxy S II GT-I9100
Samsung has just started to push Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update to the International Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100. The Galaxy S II is the best-selling Android device of 2011 and has a very large user base that’s why Samsung keeps on updating this device with all the new Android versions as they want to provide the Galaxy S II users with their best support experience.
You might not be able to update your device to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean right away as the update is rolling out in phases. So, it might not yet be available for your country or network provider (If Your device is Carrier branded) but don’t worry the update will arrive soon.
In the history of software updates, the new Jelly Bean update by Samsung to the Galaxy S II is by far the most major update given to a smartphone yet. As we all know Samsung’s ICS update didn’t had any UI changes and had exactly the same UI which was in its Gingerbread but this is not the case with Samsung’s Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update. The new jelly bean update breathes a new life into the Galaxy S II, Samsung has completely ditched the old UI and has given the new Nature UX Interface, which is the same as the one being used in the Galaxy S III Mini and the Galaxy S III, in its latest Jelly Bean update.
Some of the Enhancements in the new Jelly Bean Update:
- Buttery Smooth Performance & Great Stability (Thanks to Project Butter)
- Full User Interface Revamp (Same UI as of the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II)
- TouchWiz Nature UX
- Samsung’s S Cloud services
- Improved Camera features
- New Lockscreen With Many Customization Options
- New Features like Direct Call, Smart Stay and Pop-up Play
- New Widgets (From Galaxy S III)
- 2 Home screen modes
- New Notification bar With More Notification Toggles
- Google Now

Well I think 4.1.2 is not the 'in' thing anymore. We have ROMs on 4.2 already.

Powered by Android™ 4.1 (Jelly Bean), the latest version of the world’s most popular smartphone operating system. Jelly Bean has fast, fluid and smooth graphics along with a new Google Search™ experience featuring Google Now™, which brings you just the right information, before you even ask.
Sundar Pichai the head of Android division at Google announced that New version of Android OS will be called Android KitKat.
From Android 1.5 launched each version of OS related to dessert-theme based. Such as
Android 1.5 was Cupcake.Android 1.6 was Donut.Android 2.0 was Eclair..Android 2.2 was Froyo. Android 2.3 was Gingerbread. Android 3.0 was Honeycomb. Android 4.0 was Ice Cream Sandwich. And Android 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 have been called Jelly Bean.
For KitKat name Google has tied up with Nestle, which makes KitKat chocolates.The KitKat will be Android 4.4. So far there is no word on when Google will release this OS but it is likely to debut in the market with the new Nexus phone in the coming months.
A question that goes throug my mind everyday:
there was:
Cupcake
Donut
Eclair
Froyo
Gingerbread
Honeycomb
Ice Cream Sandwich
Jellybean
Kit Kat.
