Hello, I have a Huawei U8800 Pro phone with 2.2.2 android version (is very old and can't do anything nice with my phone, because new apps requires newest version of android like 4+).
So, I want to upgrade my version to 4.0.3 or other 4+ without mistakes. I read a lot of threads already here, but I scared to do a mistake, so I always prefer better ask people with experience what to do.
Okay, my question is: can I jump from 2.2.2 to 4+ android version or I need to upgrade first to 2.3 and etc? My phone is rooted already, so I have all super permissions.
I don't have a lot of experience in this, so I waiting for anwers with links to thread what I need to do first step-by-step.
Thank you all, who can help me! :good:
Regards, Danžžžž
So anyone can help me please?
HI all , i lunched this thread after weeks of googling and usless search for a new stock or custom rom to update my phone (samsung sgh-i857 doubletime) it's a dual screen phone with querty built-in keyboard it's from at&t and it is stuck on android 2.2.2, i'm very sad that they and after years from lunching it didn't back it up with a single soft update -_- ... and i know that there are users who bought this phone like me and seek help.. i know that it's not this easy but if you are a devloper help us by creating a custom rom for it ....if you are a user of this phone please support this thread by commenting so we can get an update for it :good: ps: i attached informations for it's cpu
Hello good sir, I like you am a noobish Doubletime user who is struggling to update it to Gingerbread. So far I have been somewhat able to use the Cyanogenmod source code and I have built a CWM Recovery for the device but that seems to have hard bricked it... I ordered a new one off ebay for $15 and I'm ready to start cooking. You have my support!
Just an update.
I have a plan I have on how to get this runnin.
1. Port CWM to the DoubleTime through Cyanogemod 6.
2. Get a working version of Cyanogenmod 6 working on the DoubleTime to hopefully free up some space.
3. Find if Gingerbread can run on Froyos kernel.
From there I'll either be building a GingerBread compatable kernel or Cyanogenmod 7 depending on compatability. Any advice or help would be very appreciated.
Being new to ROM building I'm a little lost and hesitant on flashing things but here's what I know so far.
The DoubleTime uses a Qualcomm MSM7230 same as the HTC Vision. I forked it's Github respiratory and I'll be using it as a base as recommended by the Cyanogenmod porting guide.
The partitions sizes (as a accurately as I can estimate them) are:
/cache=21.05MB
/data=176.65MB
/system=194.38MB
I may need to know the recovery partition size but I'm not sure how to find that out.
I have the recovery.img and the boot.img as well as the zImage. So as soon as the repo sync is done I'll be on my way.
I'm back again today with somewhat mixed news, I can find most of the partitions and their names (I've learned a lot today) but I can not seem to find the boot, recovery or ramdisk partitions. I'm already boggled by the what seems to be unconventional naming setup for partitions. Put all of my "notes" in a text docement in the attachments section. Any help with this is very appertiated. I can type and post anything into the ADB shell you need me too.
I'm beginning to feel like I'm talking to myself, I probably am...
Upon reading forum rules and such it has come to my attension that this is the wrong forum for this kind of thread, So I have made a new thread in the Miscellaneous Android Developement Forum that will hopefully be more useful at getting more proffesional and opinionated help.

Hi all
So now that CM do Nightlys for the I9100, I would love to get the NFC part working on our lovely I9100P with this ROM.
I have done alot of searching through XDA regarding this but alot of it is old and not relevant to 4.4.2 (I think)
So I was thinking we can use this thread (MODS: close it if you do not think this deserves a thread) to collect info regarding the NFC part on our i9100P running 4.4.2 and how we can get it up and running 100% (reading tags and soo on) with CM 11 Nightly.
What i have tried:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1407808 (long shot but just had to test it)
and
With jthatch12's patch from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822447 I do get the NFC settings but it just will not read any tags. (working on that in that thread)
So If anyone else want to help let me know and share what you know here. :good:

Defy+ best stable CWM and CMs
Hi,
First post so it ends up here. I have been following the Defy user guide and have found that a lot of links are broken and when trying to locate files there is a lot of misleading info on this process.
I'm new to rooting Androids but I'm capable of following procedures as long as they don't involve too many acronyms or poorly explained sections.
I have a rooted phone via framaroot and 2ndinit installed.
I don't quite get what to do next with Clockwork Mod or TWRP? Also, there are references to recovery installations but the links seem to head to an error page. I'm in Australia if that makes any difference to the recovery file. My MB526 is currently at 2.3.6.
*** edit OK so I learned that the 2ndinit has CWM5.0? in it and I followed a guide to install Cyanogen 10.2 and Gapps which wouldn't install via the CWM recovery. So I go around again and am looking for CM10 which is referred to in another guide (then step up to 10.2) Surely there is a better way to complete this? From here there is another step to CM11... I'll get back to it in the morning...
Once I install the CWM(x) I then install a custom ROM? CM(x) which one is recommended as stable? I'm not looking to rewrite history with this thing, I'm just looking to share the SD card with the OS and strip out all of the bloatware so that my kid can call me on this thing with skype and sync a gmail calendar account. Pretty simple, but don't want it getting bogged down.
I thank you guys in advance for your helpful responses and look forward to getting this old beast humming again!

****edit I managed to get the latest nightly cm11 into my device after reading many threads with instructions buried down in the comments. Unfortunately my phone runs slowly, way slower than stock. Is this normal for the builds due to the increased resource requirements from kk? Is it a stability issue, if so what is the latest stable build? Is anyone active through this place anymore or is it a parking zone for old phones?

SBF download links broken
Unfortunately I have bricked my beloved Moto Defy Plus.. Yup I still use it.. Can somebody please help me locate this file which im sure will solve my problem..
Blur_Version.45.0.2310.MB526.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU Retail Central Europe
Regards.
Bricked defy, white LED
I'm in a sticky situation with my moto defy, tried to install cyanogenmod (done this several times) but as i was installing the rom, the phone restarted and started directly on bootloader. I tried to get it to come back to recovery (no use), and went back to trying to install an SBF file, here's where i screwed up badly, almost all sbf files for the defy are in shutdowned servers, so i couldn't download my original carrier file (personal argentina), and tried one that i found on another page, and after installing that file, i got a black screen with the LED turning white when i plug it into de pc, and it being recognized by RSD lite. after that i tried several files, all giving the same result, or showing the bootloader screen with a 4 byte error written in 2hex,2hex,2hex,2hex form.
4.5.1-134-DFP-132 - retail-en-de full Blur
Any chance to get 4.5.1-134-DFP-132 - retail-en-de full Blur ? The link to the thread doesen't work, I found some mirrors to many defy+ stock roms, but apparently I can't find this one.
This is the rom that officially comes with my phone.. so I will like to have it stored on my hard drive in case i make some mistakes while flashing - playing with roms..
Also.. right now I'm using nightly cyanogen 7.2 jordan plus rom, and it works very well.. But I would also like to try a stock rom without blur motorola services and without google apps.. any suggestion will be appreciated
Thanks
Hello, I know you would probably will send me to the proper board, but since I'm a new user I can't start threads in the a850+ board, so I thought asking here, maybe someone could get me some info.
Are there any good stable roms of omnirom for the Lenovo A850+? I've just recently discovered about custom roms, and so far I found very few roms that are actually better than the stock [Most have phone crushing bugs]
Currently I'm using the colors OS 2.0, but their forums show little to no help when it comes to the a850+, so I hoped to change into a new rom
Thanks in advance
