2.2 To 4.3 help - General Questions and Answers

I have a Samsung Galaxy Precedent (SCH-M828C) running 2.2. I would like to upgrade it to 4.3. Is this possible?

I could be wrong, but I do believe in order to get to 4.x You have to already be on 4.0+. I assume 2.2 is too big of a leap. Though I could be wrong if a ROM has been developed for your phone, though after a quick google search I find nothing =\
Sorry bud, may have to invest in a new phone.

Ya I think its possible but u have to download custom rom for 4.3....

2.3.4 flashed on i9000 or i897?

Has anyone flashed this on i9000 or i897?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055591
that is for nexus s.
nothing more needs to be said. would never work
I guess no one has ever ported app's to other devices?
since it is really only the update to google talk we are interested in not the radio and other b.s.
apps yes, kernels (from complete different devices) no.
so the 2.3.4 rom is useless without the kernel
otherwise we would have 3.0 honeycomb ported from honeycomb devices, and then we would say screw 2.3.4
its more than just the gtalk. otherwise it would just be an app update!
not saying that it would work but, there is no kernel in that update.
we would need top modify it EG: take out the radio.

Unless you installed a front facing camera on your galaxy s, 2.3.4 would be pointless (even if it was possible). Stick with 2.3.3 for now. I hear some very un-official rumors about 2.4 coming late this year or mid next year.

Custom ROMs

Hello all,
Has there been any word on any custom ROMs for this device? Things like MIUI, Cyanogenmod, for example. I wonder if maybe the ROM developers are waiting for official 7+ ICS builds to be available. Anyway, just wanted to check and make sure I'm not missing anything. Thanks!
Sent from my Droid Incredible using XDA App
Hello
i am going to be working on a custom ROM based on stock very soon but i think im the only one as not a lot of people see a point on working on honeycomb as ICS may be available in Q2 but we are not 100% sure as of yet.
and yes you are correct about the matter on waiting for the official ICS update but its also a matter of retrieving the sauce codes from Samsung inc. they seem determined not the share them with the public as they have made an ICS based tab similar to our tab in appearance but totally different as far as the hardware is concerned. The new Samsung galaxy tab 2 it a low grade tab with extreme affordability allowing everyone to taste the sweet ICS within haha
but now Google are saying their is a new version of android coming some time this year called android 5.0 jellybean so that may even boost the development on our device as everyone will be wanting some jellybeans in the tab + haha
kindest regards Joseph Marshall
If you need/want any assistance when you start working on that please let me know, even if you just need a tester.

thanks very much i have added a thanks to your thanks meter
MIUI and CM7 are both Android2.3 based (definitely not including MIUI v4), we already get superior firmwares.
Actually most custom roms are just modifications of the official firmware. There is only 1 feature I want and the official does not provide. Just to remove items in the recent task list by swiping/clicking X.
Galaxy tab 7.7 ROMS
Has anybody tried to flash one of the galaxy tab 7.7 roms? I think they have about 3 roms over there. It seems as if they're almost identical in hardware, probably the only difference is the screen size.
i tried flashing entire /framework folder and a lot of system apks. bootloop
then I tried flashing only phone and settings .apk, booted but wouldnt open FC.
p6200 Malaysia.
They would need to be ported over. I kind of remember how to do it with an HTC device (EVO and Incredible had almost the exact same hardware) but Samsung I'm not sure of. Need the Android kitchen up and running on your pc to do it. With an HTC device it was pretty much just taking the boot img file off the device with the ROM you want to port and putting it into the other device. There were step by step instructions somewhere on here but I can't find them.
No thanks, not putting anyones boot.img on my device. I'm sure it could be ported. Ive been checking them out, and they are very similar.
I do have dsixdas kitchen. But Im busy with other things at the moment.
i'm playing around with 7.7 touchwiz... because they can delete the unused page... and we cant... wth samsung... want to see what is the different with their version and ours...

For ICS to run on our tabs you would need an ICS kernel, I don't believe the current one will work. My Incredible had to use an EVO ICS kernel in order to use an ICS ROM. The kernel from the 7.7 could be modified since they have similar hardware but I believe you have to have the source code available to do it. I also do not know how to make kernels though there is a tutorial on xda somewhere.
I am also not familar with the my tab or Samsungs software architecture enough to experiment with mine just yet. The only way I know how to make ROMs is using a ROM.zip file found in an RUU, you can use a nandroid backup but they tend to be buggy. The android kitchen pulls the needed images (boot, system, recovery) out of the ROM.zip file (or nandroid backup) to use in building ROMs.
I would suggest that anyone who really wants ROMs for this thing head over to Chef Central on XDA and start learning how to do it themselves. It took me the better part of a day getting the andoid kitchen up and running on my windows laptop and it is a good learning experience. There is a step by step tutoirial on how to get the andoid kitchen installed and how to build roms.

only can playing around with simple thing... no source code... kind of hard... my day job already killing me...
Yeah, I've got the kitchen running on an Ubuntu VM on my PC. I've only used it for my inc though. I guess what I hadn't realized was that Samsung never released the code for our device. Its a shame, I wish I would have looked that up before I decided on this tab. Do any other Samsung devices have similar architecture, besides the already mentioned 7.7?

i feel like i made the exact same mistake. has samsung ever released source codes due to owners demanding it? i know they don't have much reason to do so, but i was just wondering if it's happened in the past before.

There's no need for that mate. There are many stupid questions here, but calling someone stupid is just not necessary.
Wouldnt it need NFC as well?
My bad thinking of wallet...
Unfortunately Honeycomb and below is "dead" development, people are focused on doing more on ICS than anything.
When Eclair rolled out, development stopped on Cupcake and Donut, and now its quite hard to imagine someone still working on those old versions of Android. Well, looks like GB, HC, and Froyo is in that boat.
I suggest you get a new phone. (I need one too. I'm still stuck on gingerbread)

There was a Jellybean port to ARM6 devices tested on Galaxy Gio by some guy, Im sure we can make a Google Now port.
Well coming from a jelly beaned phone, you do need an arm7 and unfortunately, your phone doesn't have one. You can try porting it but it will come out with bugs.

This might make you feel better:

I think you would still need to get ICS on your device, but at least your ARM6 is being shown a little love.
I'm still holding out on a gingerbread port of it, though.
How to install Google Now on my rooted Tmobile Galaxy S2 ?
I'm having a T-mobile rooted Galaxy S2 running ICS custom ROM (Jedi Mind Trick V4). I wanted to install Google Now and I hope that is possible in my device. Can someone send me the link, where to look for it ?

I believe Google Now is JellyBean specific. However, it's up to the devs to have it in a flashable zip or apk format for ICS devices.

Yes, I agree Google Now is specifically for JB. But trying to find out if anyone has ported it to use with ICS.

Ewww...that's disgusting.
But as many people feel, I do not feel that someone will actually take the time to figure out how to do it. Do remember that the framework is VERY different. But I am not losing hope that someone....someone...will take the time and get this working. ICS is not as fast as GB on my phone. However, GNow is enough of a reason for my to flash ICS to my phone every few days.
(OG Evo 4G running Decks ICS - 7.09.12 build flashed with GNow)
So GNow is a ploy to get ppl to just buy new phones, that have ICS or better?
Well that's how I see it, the majority of ppl use gingerbread, why not cater to them gooooooooogle?? Its A shame they keep creating new os's like every year or so when phones last so much longer then that.
Offline dictation should of been available back back well there never should of been a connection dependent voice(voice search, dictation, voice anything from google) or w/e.

How To Update YP-G1??

Hi, First sorry for my bad English... Im Spanish.. I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S wifi Player 4.0 YP-G1.When I bought it the firmware was Froyo 2.2.2
Kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Number Compilation FROYO.XXKE1
and the Samsung Kies Gave me this:
Firmware: PDA:KE1 CSC:KE1 (XEE)
I want to update to Gingerbread But the OTA and Samsung KIES says me the I have the lasttest firmware... I want to update to One Rom of Gingerbread or other Rom because i think that its better than this FROYO... I can update the android with any Rom?? *****How I can do this?****
I read in other post that only USA devices can do Root or can put other ROM but I Dont know if my device is USA
Sorry for the post Im very noob but I want a faster device...
Sorry for my bad English too..
Thanks For All
Looks like you're in the wrong device forum... though there isn't actually one for yours, since it's not a very popular model. However, there's a thread in the Galaxy S I9000 Q/A for people to share their information. Might have better luck trying those ROMs.
I don't even think it's a phone. Sounds like a media player.

[Q]Can PS3 run Android OS?

Like Google Play store and all the other perks of Android? With all the jailbreaking/PS3 hacks now a days and the ability to run OtherOS(Linux) on any custom firmware is it possible? What a way to breath fresh new life into the PS3 lol. I know the PS3 runs some crazy hardware so it's probably not possible. I apologize if the threads been made and I was just curious. Anyways here's some links I found

http://code.google.com/p/android-ps3/
Please don't respond with rude comment just let me know how you feel. Thank you for info and comments.
i dont think its possible anymore. After that big hacking scandal on psn, sony created an update that stops people from installing other os's on it.
Yeah it does work "in" a ps3 through virtual box , but since Sony removed OtherOS from settings you can't install it anymore , but I think you can restore OtherOS if you have 3.55 firmware

Now the PS3's can run CFW custom firmware where you can use the OtherOS. They(PS3 hacking community) also have a hack where you can downgrade your firmware to run OtherOS as well. My question is that if you can run Linux is it possible to run an Android build off of that? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks for reply.
