Hey so I've been trying to get pokemon go on my android device. I have a 4.2.1 Blu Life One. In order to run pokemon go I need 4.4, or at least my phone to say it is 4.4. I mostly just want to see whether or not my phone is capable of running it, or how well it can run it.
I've tried changing the build prop to say I was a galaxy 4, which runs 4.4, and I've tried doing it on the market helper. Neither seem to change what type of phone google play thinks I have. Any suggestions or help? I'm willing to provide any information that is valuable to helping me out here.

The most sure fire way of doing is by upgrading your android ,if there's no official update there's bound to be some custom ROM for your phone with android4.4 or higher.
As for changing build.prop the things you need to change are
Ro.build.version.release and api level but changing this could cause problem with already installed apps so pls backup before trying anything.(don't blame me if things don't work out well)

Hey guys this app lets you install up to 5 roms at the same time, however our phone is not supported yet, you can enter in the information manually. Has anyone tried this? I don't want to mess anything.
Nice forum you got here, i was a passive user since about a year and now i'm going to be active:
I have a iconia A700 and i'm thinking about flashing it with cm10.1. I found some tutorials and it seems to be not too hard to perform.
But before i do it, i have some questions:
1) What backup tool do you suggest? I want to keep all my files, programs and progam settings!
2) Is CM10.1 running smooth and good / better than the stock rom?
3) Someone tested the tapped out simpsons game on cm10.1 on the a700? It does not work with stock rom (maybe because of the resolution). Is there any chance to change the resolution with cm10.1 or maybe the game works fine without any change of settings?
I believe it's taking too much time to wait for an official 4.2 release and i don't like all these Acer Apps. So can you recommend flashing with cynagonmod?
1. Titanium backup. Though you need root, it's the best back-up tool you can get.
2. From my experience, I'd say yes. Though pawitp (the person who made CM possible) says the following:

Performance may be worse than stock due to the additional navigation bar introduced in 4.2.

3. I didn't try it. I think there is a way to change the resolution, though when you've installed the CM ROM, you should try to run it first. I thought I read about changing the resolution somewhere in the CM forum, but I'm not sure how to do it.
Yeah, Acer said it's going to be there, but it's releasing somewhere in the summer.
I can certainly recommend CM. I had to get used to the new navigation buttons place, but you'll get used to it too, I'm sure.
I really like the OTA feature in it. You can get updates right on your tablet without having to reflash or stuff. I'm not sure if it'll install future Android version updates, but I think it's possible (like Android 4.2.1).
With the release of Android 4.4 coming, I'm thinking of flashing the latest Cyanogen rom. But, this is my first time owning an Android phone, or any smart phone at all. So I was wondering:
Can I upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S2 SPH-D710BST to the latest version?
If so will I have to reinstall my apps and etc.?
If I use custom firmware can I still activate and use my phone to call? (This is all assuming I still haven't gotten around to activating my phone)
If so will i have to use Boost Mobile to activate my phone? (As indicated by the model number)
Thanks in advance for any advice!

hey there, welcome to the world of android friend! so if you were to have cm 10.2 (android 4.3) on your device and decide when a stable version of 4.4 comes out you want to flash it, you will have to reinstall all your apps, if you were to come from android 4.1 to 4.2 you wouldnt have to reinstall them. android 4.1-4.3 dont have very much changes, just a little of ui change and hardware changes to use left memory. now to see if your galaxy s2 will get 4.4? nobody will know, i dont think anybody knows if cyangenmod will make more roms, they recently annouced something that sounded like they were making their own android handset. if you use custom firmware, yes you can still use it as your phone and activate it, im sure not allot of people would flash roms to not be able to use their phones . i looked up the model number and it looks like the carrier is boost mobile. hope you figure out what you want man, please if you have any questions i would love to answer them, i love to see the notification numbers go up xD
Thanks! I already knew my phone was from Boost, I was just asking if activating it with them was a MUST. Also my phone has that manufacturer's error with the dropping cell signal repeatedly activating the menu. I tried the fix where you clear the cache partition, but that was only a temporary fix.
So, to fix the phone I have to get it repaired at a Sprint?
If so, how much?
Or, alternatively, could re-imaging the phone with a new "OS" fix it? (Only asking since the cache wipe worked for a while.)
It seems like all custom roms include root. I'm trying to get around SafetyNet so I'd like to find one that doesn't. I currently have CyanogenMod 13 with virtual repartition version of TWRP. Are there ROMs like this? I'm currently reading through the development forum but most don't say one way or the other, probably because they include root.
If I can't find one, are there some that can be unrooted? I don't think CyanogenMod falls into this category. I can try to hide root if nothing else and have done a lot of reading on that using SUhide, Xposed, Root Switch but I think it would be a lot easier if there was a stock-ish kit kat or higher ROM I could use and unroot.
Thanks!
Depending on what you need to pass SafetyNet for, I'd say you are probably out of luck on the S2.
The last official ROM (from Samsung) for the Skyrocket was Jelly Bean (4.1.2), which is too old. Unfortunately, I don't know of any third-party ROM beyond that which doesn't come with root support pre-installed, and given the S2's curious bootloader configuration, it might not pass SafetyNet even if you could find one. Then, there is the minor fact that the S2 is old enough that it might be not be approved by Google even if you could get past all the other issues.
If you really need this, it might be time to consider an upgrade. However, if you do manage to get it to work, that would be a pretty cool find for this old phone.
I have a rooted SMT350 Galaxy Tab A. I really want to install TFT on it. However, its flagged by the playstore as a non-eligible device. I was wondering if there is some way to circumvent this, and force the game to install. This tablet can play hearthstone which is about as graphically as intense, its its annoying to me. The device is not flagged because of the root, it was like that before, i rooted in hopes to get around this. Thank you.
The game only installable and working on devices running Android 7 and higher.
