Android Upgration!!! - General Questions and Answers

I am not a developer. I am using a android jellybean 4.4.2. How can I install the new version of android MM. Tell me in details plzz. thanks in advance.

First of all Android jellybean is from 4.1 to 4.3.x so you are running on KitKat. Not all of the phone support marshmallow, so first of all check if your phone has some system update. If not you can search on Google about rooting, changing recovery, and installing ROM in your phone.

AND remember:
“If it ain't broke, don't fix it.” :silly:
Cheers

Question about Roms, Android Versions, and my GT-N8013

Okay, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013. I have rooted the tablet successfully and installed Omnirom on it, except Omnirom cam with Android 4.4.4 when my device's stock version is Android 4.1.2. After downloading Omnirom I would like to switch to Paranoid Android so I can access the pie feature on my tablet instead of the omnibox.
However, being very new at this, could I use a Paranoid Android Tablet Rom based on Android 4.4.4 instead of the standard 4.1.2? I don't want to go back to 4.1.2, it wasn't fun. I would like to keep Android 4.4.4 and have the updated version of Paranoid Android for my Galaxy Note 10.1 Is this possible?

your question seems odd for some reason im not understanding i guess.
so, you flashed a 4.4.4 rom onto your device and you want to know if you can flash another 4.4.4 rom onto your device that is made for your device correct?
if that is accurate^^, then yes, you can just flash the new rom.
the only possible problem i could see is, if there is an official update to kitkat for your device? if no then there will be no issue.
if there is an official kk for your device, say so and i will elaborate on the possible issues.

TWRP on Galaxy E5 with Android KitKat 4.4 (SM-E500M)

Hi
I've read this post where I can download a TWRP build for SM-E500H with Android 5.1.1 and it says it has been tested with SM-E500M successfully.
I have a SM-E500M but with KitKat 4.4 Installed (Lollipop hasn't officially arrived for my device and I don't want to install Indian or Russian update since I don't know if it will break something).
Does anyone know if there is a chance that it will work with my device without loosing my data?.
I'm not interested in rooting my device, I only want to install TWRP.
I thank you for your time. :good:

[Completed] Lenovo A7000 update from Lollipop 5.0 to 5.1

A couple of hours ago, I downgraded my Lenovo A7000-a From Android Marshmallow ( can't remember what version it was cause it was hell of a **** ) to Lollipop stock Android version 5.0, Baseband version( A7000.ROW.V15,2015/11/27 ), Build number ( A7000-a_s153_151127_ROW ) as described in the ( Device information ). The reason for that is that Marshmallow is a **** garbage and made my phone ****, laggy and the UI was full of bugs. When I bought my phone out of the box was Lollipop 5.0 and I got update from Lenovo in the system update to 5.1 Lollipop - Before the Marshmallow was officially released in the system update - and just until the official update for Marshmallow came out, and I wish I had not updated it.
I used the SP Flashtool and the version found on this Link : https://cloud.mail.ru/public/HiQB/FY5XGcn89 . Everything went fine and I was able to downgrade to 5.0. The thing is, I want to update to 5.1 ( the most stable version, and avoid the ****ing Vibe **** UI ) and the update I have in the system update of the device is directly to the **** Marshmallow and of course I want to avoid that at any cost. I have some questions about that : Will I be doing the same process ( with the SP Flashtool ) to update to 5.1, hence it is no more available in the system updates ?. and I'm not an Android geek so I do not where to find the Lollipop version 5.1 ( it is not mentioned the Lollipop version it just states like that : A7000-a_S152_150917_ROW_TO_A7000-a_S153_151127_ROW_WC1E.zip ) on this website in the OTA section : https://boycracked.com/2016/03/07/official-lenovo-a7000-stock-rom/ .
So where to find the most stable version of Lollipop 5.1 ( without the **** Vibe UI ) for Lenovo A7000-a ? and How to properly update my device from the current version 5.0 Lollipop to 5.1 Lollipop ( without loosing applications and of course without ****ing up my phone and losing it forever ), if I'm going to use the SP Flashtool ?
PS, I want to do this update because Lollipop 5.1 felt more intuitive, Not that Lollipop is bad in any way - oh God Marshmallow was the only and most ****ed up experience - , but 5.1 felt better for me.
Thank you in advance for your help

I am sorry **** Put but until a compatible android version has been developed by Allwinner, you are stuck on Android 5.1.1. No custom roms are being made since Allwinner is so closed about themselves. You can however root the device with "Kingoroot" and install xposed framework and install a module called "Android N-ify."
