hi everyone
i am new to this and always will be.
I have searched the forums but i lack the attention or technical know how to digest the information. On YouTube there are videos that says "how to update any phone t jelly bean" but they all want you to contract to a prepaid service of some kind
When i had my iPhone i found websites where you just download this APP, double clicked it and it updated everything for you
SOMEONE SOMEWHERE must be able to develop a generic app which will update any phone no what size, configuration or OS is on it ... c'mon techies n geeks ya letting us all down
I am looking for something similar ... pls help me
PLS REPLY to me personally and not on the forum ... there's just too much info and threads and i can't make heads or tails of it
Many many thanks
There's no app that will update it for you sorry
Also what kind of phone do you own?
Depending on your phone there may be options to achieve and upgrade to jellybean via ROMs or possibly ota (depending on your phone)
A good step would to be root first as you'll need it to achieve custom ROMs and recovery options
Like I said first state your phone model etc
So we can help
P.s hit the thanks button!

You can't update any phone to jellybean, too many devices to create a single solution. You also appear to have a non brand phone which makes the chances of having a jellybean ROM drop down to 4%
And... I doubt a third party app could even update the iPhone... without it being from Apple

So the chances of a jb upgrade will be slim
In your case very slim but rooting will still be possible for you again I'll keep looking after work to try help you but don't get your hopes up for a jb upgrade

if u do upgrade jelly bean to the blu studio 5.3 then a lot of people will be very interested - the blu studio was quite popular

The issue is the drivers, BLU is not a popular brand so the likelihood of a developer taking the time on the port is slim. Not to mention VERY time consuming on a device that has BROAD support. Typically devices like HTC, Samsung, Motorola (the ones that aren't Nand Locked) will receive ports fairly quickly, while obscure devices MAY never get them.
Now on with the specs. The BLU Studio 5.3 features a an ARMv6 CPU, clocked at 650MHz, a PowerVR SGX531 GPU, and 512MB of RAM. There is 200MB of built-in memory

You may lack hardware support in all honesty, ICS is optimized for dual core devices, though it does run on the HTC EVO 4G (keep in mind that while this is a single core processor it is also a 1 GHz single core, and pretty powerful for a single core device)...If I were in your shoes I would either,
A) Buy a new phone, one that has more community support, if you want Jelly Bean, or
B) Find a bad a$$ Gingerbread ROM for the phone you have.
If a lot of people would be very interested perhaps they can learn to port JB...there are tutorials for the basic port.
Buying a new phone has always been an option for me but ...
there's not many 5inch+ phones out there that has dual sim options
this 5.3" blu motion phone does everything easy to use, great size and large screen for GPS and not to mention cheap as chips
I don't really care about the other bells n whistles i like a phone with a big screen
if someone gave me the iPhone5 i'd put it on eBay in a heart beat ...
... heavens knows why you would want a small phone ...
if anyone knows where i can get a 5inch+ phone with two or more sim slots and with JELLY BEAN
do let me know

I got sick of youtubing honeycomb videos and decided to try out the desire hd honeycomb sdk port - guess what? It workes on inspire too. At least it works as well as it does on desire
I found a working link to the rom http://www.r2doesinc.bitsurge.net/OMHC-port-desirehd.zip
Here is the desire hd thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958391
Be sure to have your copy of android revolution / cm7 / whatever on your sd card for reverting to it when you're done. (volume rocker down and power to get back to recovery) This rom has no data access. But it's a neat way to check out the ui for now. It runs surprisingly fast considering it's origins.
I just wanted to stick this where more inspire users might see it and confirm that it works, I am not the developer.

Still, doesn't make any sense to me. Especially when they've made it fairly clear 3.x is for tablets, 2.x is for phones. A bigger number in front doesn't always mean it's better. Not trying to start a flame war, just trying to understand.
It's highly buggy. Have tried this on a few phones.
Maybe google will come out with a phone version and simply name it something else.
Honeycomb was written specifically for tablets. Not a lot of that is easily ported to any phone.
Read xoom forums. Even it has its issues.

2.4 is Gingerbread.

im with the why not crowd.. but i would think problems would arrise from the fact that the tablet has higher pixel count and surface area. But ill prolly try this out before tomuch longer.. maybe someone will make a custom rom to runn better on the phones.. Overclock the cpu and it would help with processing what is supposed to run on 2 cores.. but then again you got the extra gpu cores that he nividia chipset uses.. Sooo.. but on tiger and newegg you can get a low priced nividia powered tablets for 300 to 349. not that much money if you can save up and skip the bar for a month.

Honestly, I'd just grab a ViewSonic G-Tablet and wait for a port. Woot's tempted me a few times now with dropping them down to $260.

I'll give it a shot...THanks!!!
Ice Cream Sandwich (still not used to the new name) will be the honeycomb+gingerbread mash up for phones. But seriously this is XDA we can do anything. If we had source code there would be honeycomb phone roms popping up left and right with phone apps pulled from gingerbread. The size of the interface can be scaled for lower resolution phones. It can work. For those of us with wives that cant go out and spend money on a tablet without first spending more money on jewelry to bribe with - this rom is a neat way to peek at the latest hotness.
How many phones do you have? Do you buy a separate phone to install custom ROMs?
I have only one and for last few months I am playing with custom ROMs. It is great when you give new life to older phone, like mine. Motorola Defy+ with Quarx custom kernel and CM10 4.1.2. Like new phone. :good:
I just have one, but I change my custom romantic weekly. it's fun

Think my signature says it all.
Back from the days of WM it's always been a thought before purchase.
Ignore current device as it's a get thru.
Previous have been s620/Rhodium/Rapael/ZTE Blade/DHD/SGS2/XT910 "there are others"
All of them had been customised and not just via flashing ROMs as back when time was not so valuable my time was taken in Kitchens editing resourses but now minimal I'm happy just to have tether work lol

Wow we have shared alot of the same devices
Now to stay on post. I never buy a phone based on custom roms. Why you ask? Well here is the thing. Developers are always looking for the next big thing and change phones often. No promise that there will be custom roms for it. So I set out to get a phone that will suite my needs. Making sure it has an unlocked boot loader is all I need. If I want a custom rom bad enough then I will make it myself.

The phones I've got are Sony Xperia S, SGS2 & SE Xperia X8.
Although I only use the X8 now and again when I'm bored and wanna test on it. Apart from that, it doesn't get used
I definitely don't buy a phone based on the custom ROMs available. The Xperia S kinda proves that because there's not too much available for it really.
When buying a phone, it's gotta have whatever I'm specifically looking for at that time. In regards to ROMs I'm not really too fussed because a good phone with a crap ROM is still much better than a crap phone with a brilliant ROM.

yes, because Arc stock ROM has lot of redundant apk

HD2 was legendary dual booting device. I just wondering if HTC 8X would have similar dual boot capabilities.
No clue but if we can figure out how to crack the internals the One XL and Droid DNA will be the devices that we can use for kernels and ROMs to some extent.

Doesn't really work like that... you have to build a hybrid kernel from the ground up with the engineering unit and they specs are totally diffrent on all the devices you listed
Who is this we
Sent from my LG-LS855 using xda app-developers app
We is the developers in this forum.
The 8X is kind of different but kind of not different. The audio subsystem is shared with the Droid DNA, as is the front and rear camera (most likely), and the Evita/One XL shares the same display resolution and same SoC and such, so those two devices will likely provide everything needed for a hybrid kernel that will run Android on this device.
The problem is actually getting the firmware to load that kernel. From what little I understand about the WPx devices, there's a TPM module inside that needs to be side-stepped and the bootloader system is different from the Android variants, which makes life a lot harder.

2 very different phone,s.
And if you want android, dont even look at WP8.
No offense, just my mind speaking at loud.
8X is a beauty and i would never put android on it.
And last but not least......HD2 is a whole different ball game.
Thats just a monster phone that left out a lot of phone in it shadows.
That will take some phone to beat and i dont see that coming soon.

because if you wanted a Android device, you should of just gotten one...
Well friends I have read on many forms that if anybody wants android then they should buy android device, & those want windows phone should buy a windows device, BUT LET ME TELL THE NEW SMARTPHONE members,
" its not stupid to ask for dual OS on a newer device, most of us have our PC with dual OS whether win95se & win98se, or windows Me & win XP or vista or XP & win7, and Linux" so it should be promoted at an open resourse like xda forum, rather than asking to buy particular is device, its just matter of interest for experienced developers to work for these multiple OS. On one device,
I can just say a tag from one of our famous xda developers 'BePE' " ITS Our device & we are the one to decide what we wish to run on our purchased devices, we paid a handsome money to buy these devices, &its not Microsoft or apple or google or Nokia or etc to lock up our options just in the name of security and putting so many locks(developer lock, root lock, interop unlock) its a free world
For those who think its absurd I will just say that (HTC magician &ppc2k)
I Have seen happen from early devices, right from k-jam to jasjam to to JasJar(aka universal) to HTC tytn to HTC diamond to HTC topaz to HTC Blackstone & finally to the legendary HTC hd2 every user who believes that user is the person who decides what he wants to run on the device, as they pay a handsome amount to buy the devices

I am currently using 2 phones (both with Custom ROMs) and on my SGSII the buttons start to not working so well,...doesn't matter
I looked a long time for a new phone which got Dual SIM, cuz I have one phone for calling and writing to people and the other one just for Whatsapp and some apps.
Well after a long search I finally found this phone: Phicomm Passion (details below)
http://www.phicomm.com/eu/products_details.html?id=34
Recently a review came up (German) where it turned out that the software is still quite buggy n laggy and needs to be reprogrammed for best function.
I looked here at XDA about this phone but I found absolutely nothing ?
Cuz I don't know when Phicomm is going to release another big updates that fixes the rest of the bugs, so I thought about a Custom ROM for this phone, but still nothing unfortunately.
It got 2GB RAM, an Octa Core CPU, a Full-HD Display... that should be a rocket with these specs compared to my older 2 phones (Xperia S and SGS II)
If someone knows more or can led me to the right direction, that would be great.
In a month or so my mother is about to change carrier and I'll give her my old SGS II, when this happens I need a new (Dual SIM) phone
I already made a post on What phone to buy next:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59753407#post59753407
But I don't know where to ask exactly ?
