TESTED ON PANTECH SKY VEGA R3 aka IM-A850L
Dear All,
Pantech Sky Vega A850L is a great phone at an amazing price but unfortunately most of its help on the internet is in Vietnamese language. I have this phone running on Android 4.2.2 (using this guide you can change your Stock ROM to a Custom International ROM which will remove the 80 characters SMS Limit) and I wanted to update it to Kit Kat (4.4). There are many ROMs present here for this phone. I found a KitKat based Custom ROM with good rating here and thought of trying it.
This video also helped a lot. Though its not in English but from 1 minute and 20 seconds onwards it shows how to install a Custom ROM.
Your phone must be ROOTED. Follow this guide to root Pantech Sky Vega R3 aka IM-850L.
