Hi, hope I´m posting at the right forum Q&A , I have two Samsung 10.1 Galaxy tabs and two Samsung Galaxy phones, I am also 61 years old and my memory capabilities are degrading, it could be an Alzheimer start or maybe just getting older and forgetting some things such as which of my phones and tablets did I flashed with a custom ROM , I look at my Pc and see the Philz touch file and some other rooting and ROM files, the problem i I can´t remember what I did, all four devices are working fine, also they are rooted but I am quite sure I flashed maybe otwo of them but cant remember which one and what ROM I flashed.
Is there a way to know this, just for my mental tranquility.
Regards
My tablets are :
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT - P7510 with Android 4.0.4
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT - P5100 with Android 4.03
My Phones are .
Samsung Galaxy GT - I9300 with Android 4.0.4
Samsung Galaxy GT - I9100 with Android 4.1.2
I am fairly new to this and I am unsure if I can load Android 4.4 onto an A12. I am getting a new phone and was hoping to get a phone which would have Android 4.4. I couldn't find one with my provider. I'm kinda inexperienced so any help would be great. If it makes any difference I would be buying the phone and a plan through T-Mobile.
This is the phone I would be getting: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone/samsung-galaxy-a12?sku=610214668899
Dear Npet2301,
you cannot flash Android 4.4 ("Kitkat") on a Galaxy A12.
It's simple: Android 4.4 was released in 2013-2014 for most devices back then. The Galaxy A12 comes pre-loaded with Android 10.
I'm a member of this forum for more than 6 years now, having more than six Android Phones, and I have never seen that you can flash a version, which is older than the one your phone was shipped with. Not even a custom Rom will make that possible and I also think that no developer will ever try that out either, since
a) Why Android 4.4? It's old and a total waste of potential on a phone with 2021 hardware on
b) It doesnt support the 64 bit Architecture processor of the A12
So, before you ask if any version after 4.4 (5.0- 9.0) can be installed on the A12. Simple = No.
*Some of the last Galaxy phones of the several Android versions were:
Android 4.4 (2014): Galaxy S3 Neo, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note 2/3/4, Galaxy S5, Galaxy A3/A5/A7 2015
Android 5.0 (2015): Galaxy S4, Galaxy S5, Galaxy Note 3/4/5, Galaxy S6, Galaxy A3/A5/A7 2015/2016
Android 6.0 (2016): Galaxy S5, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S7, Galaxy Note 4/5, Galaxy A3/A5/A7 2015/2016/2017
Android 7.0 (2017): Galaxy S6, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S8, Galaxy Note 5/FE/8, Galaxy A3/A5/A7 2016/2017
Android 8.0 (2018): Galaxy S7, Galaxy S8, Galaxy S9, Galaxy Note FE/8/9, Galaxy A3/A5/A7 2017, Galaxy J4/J6
Android 9.0 (2019): Galaxy S8, Galaxy S9, Galaxy S10, Galaxy Note FE/8/9/10, Galaxy J4/J6, Galaxy A10/20/40..

Please explain the steps to me to follow to be able to have an updated phoned with compatible application

Hint: Add Samsung Galaxy J1 ACE to this tread's title thus mainly owners of such phone get addressed.
Hello everyone, my question is when I root my Samsung Galaxy Tab E (SM-T560), then I can for example install roms from other models , for example Samsung Galaxy J5 2017 ROM, and use it as normal? Because this 4.4.4 KitKat is boring and have got not enough functions.
Flashing a ROM doesn't require current Android OS got rooted: a Custom Recovery is needed to do so.
Hello,
Are there any custom ROMs for the Samsung J1 Ace that will allow me to upgrade to android 6 or 7?
