How to update/upgrade any phone to Android 4.4

Variations on this question appear to be a common unanswered question; often they have a comment or two that I don't understand. I'm hoping someone can answer with some general background information, the concepts. E.g. I see reference to "rooting". Do I need to root a phone before I can upgrade it? I've had previous Android phones that got auto-updated (either by the carrier or manufacturer: I just find a message that says: "a new update has been downloaded, click here to install"), and I didn't need to root them. E.g. Can any smartphone be upgraded to Android 4.4? If not why not? And why might a manufacturer not want users to update their phones? Are some manufacturers more open to having phones updated, and some not? Does anyone keep a list of "upgrade-hostile" manufacturers? E.g. does the phone being sim-locked (to a specific carrier) matter? I'm not going to say what my phone is because that will distract from the more general answers I'm after.

When will I get Android 4.4 KitKat update on Nexus 4 in Romania?

I am in a bit of worry because I own a Nexus 4 device, and I noticed many articles on the web stating that an OTA update to 4.4 is out but I didn't receive any notification on my device. Also, when I check for updates, the update is not showing up. Should I be concerned about this, or does it just takes more time for the update to get to me? I am in Romania. **UPDATE** For those of you who are really eager to install the new update you can check up this link: It's still an OTA, nothing will be wiped on your device and the update files are the official ones provided by Google!

ROM/MOD for pure Android experience

> **Possible Duplicate:** > Where can I find stock or custom ROMs for my Android device? I'm looking for a Mod or Rom for a HTC Desire S and a Motorola Xoom which provides the cleanest Android experience without modifications. Similar to that of the Nexus range of phones. Eventually, I'd like to put ICS on both of these devices.

How can I get the official froyo ROM for SGS to use with heimdall?

> **Possible Duplicate:** > Where can I find stock or custom ROMs for my Android device? I want to upgrade my SGS to froyo, but have given up on Kies which seems to be the most unreliable piece of software I've ever encountered. I've got heimdall running, and now I want to upgrade to the official ROM for my device (GT-I9000/optus). Is there a way of getting hold of the official ROm from somewhere? Cheers, Victor

Which current, major roms include permission management?

Current, major and trustworthy ROMs only please. I'm not implying that smaller ROMs all contain malware - 99% probably don't, but for something like this I want to be as sure as possible. A simple revocation like CM used to have in version 7 would be fine, though blank data would be preferable. I'm aware of Xprivacy, but prefer something simpler and built-in. Xprivacy's communication with its server is a negative as well.

Upgrading LG P500 (Optimus/Maximo One)

> **Possible Duplicate:** > Where can I find stock or custom ROMs for my Android device? > How to backup an Android device? > How do I backup and restore SMS Messages? I've thinking about rooting my LG Android for a long time but I've been hesitant because I use it on a daily basis and I'm afraid I might mess it up and not be able to restore it to the previous condition. The main reason reasons I want to root it are: 1. Get rid of my providers' bloatware. 2. Upgrade to Android 2.3 Gingerbread. 3. Possibly overclock it ( _how safe/risky is this [on this phone/model]?_ ). I've never rooted an Android phone before and I would like to get some answers on these questions: * * * ## How do I root it? Sorry if this question seems lame, but I honestly have no idea. I read some threads on the XDA forums and from what I gathered the SuperOneClick application seems to be the way to go, right..? Is there any precautions I should take? Also, I think I also need a to get a new Girgerbread / Froyo ROM compatible with my phone model. What is the "place to go" to get this? * * * ## Can I backup the current ROM / state of my phone? So that if anything goes wrong I can restore it? * * * ## Exporting / Importing Contacts and SMSs I'm not very worried about contacts since most of them are also stored my Google Account, but what about SMSs - is there any way / tool I can use to avoid losing them? * * * **EDIT:** Thanks to the links @Matthew posted I've managed to root and save all my phone data, however I'm still stuck regarding the ROM upgrade, I've found a forum thread on XDA that has a 2.3 ROM compatible with my phone model, but it still has some annoying bugs I would rather avoid. I see a lot of hype around CyanogenMod but it doesn't seem to be compatible with my phone ( ~~is it?~~ ). So, can I get a 2.3 (or even 2.2) ROM that works on my phone without any major problems? Thanks!

ICS on Desire HD

> **Possible Duplicate:** > Where can I find stock or custom ROMs for my Android device? I'm planning to wipe my phone and in the process I also decided to try some alternative ROM. From what I understand MIUI 4 and CyanogenMod 9 should be ICS based, but I can't find these ROMs in a pure form. On XDADevelopers forums, there is gazilion of MIUI and CM ROMS, but all of them seem to have some custom modifications. I want to go for something reasonably stable right now. So where do I find some ICS ROMs for Desire HD without crazy modifications?

Revert to official Android from Cyanogenmod

I have installed CyanogenMod 10.1.x on my Note 2, but I find it very unstable and it often goes on a reboot loop. I use ClockworkMod recovery. I would rather work with a stock android at this point. Questions: 1. Since I have ClockworkMod recovery, I presume I can use it to flash the "official" ROM? Is this correct? 2. Can someone point me to the official stock android from Samsung?

Ubuntu font cannot display latin extended characters

I changed the system font (by Font Changer) to Ubuntu font (0.8). This font has Latin-Extended support and can display Vietnamese just fine (I tested this on http://font.ubuntu.com/). However, after I changed to this font, Vietnamese chars are replaced by boxes. Can anyone explain this for me? Any idea on how to fix this?

How do I disable the data usage warning and notification in ICS?

I'm running ICS on a Galaxy Nexus and my data plan is grandfathered in from the days of unlimited data with my carrier- so I don't need any warning or notification for the amount of data I'm using. However, ICS on this phone has an annoying warning and notification when I hit either 2 or 4 gb before the month is over. The notification persists in the background and will not close. How do I disable this?

How do I get SMS messages to be sorted in chronological order?

I just got an HTC Desire HD, and it's sorting my SMS texts by what the sender has sent up at the top of the conversation page, and what I reply down below. It's almost like two conversations in chronological order, but it's not mixing them together. When it says I have a new text, it's actually the one I sent them and I have to scroll up to read the reply. How do I get the the SMS conversations to read in an answer-response chronological format?

How do I store pictures on SD card by default?

How do I move the photos I have in my gallery to my SD card? Someone told me to download an app that allows you to do this, but it didn't. Also, is it possible to save them to the SD card by default, rather than the internal memory? Someone told me to open the camera and select settings, but there was no option to change it. I think my phone is an HTC wildfire. It's the smallest white HTC on the market and it has 'with HTC sense' on the back.

Samsung Kies in Virtualbox Win 7 64bit?

I try to run Samsungs Kies in a Virtualbox running Windows 7 64bit on a Linux host ( **Ubuntu 11.04** ). After installing all updates and Service Packs I can run Kies and check for updates. I have the most recent version of Kies installed. But when I try to connect my **Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100** to the virtualbox, the installation of drivers always failed. I tried to connect the device in Kies- and USB-mode without luck. Does anyone have a similar setup? And maybe any tips for me?

AT&T Nexus S: is this sold SIM locked / boot-loader locked?

I know this is a bit localized, but I can't find ANY information on this at all on the internet, because all of the information for the Nexus S assumes the T-Mobile band version. I would only purchase this phone to immediately unlock the bootloader for custom ROM development. Is the only difference between the two phones the bands the 3G radio uses?
