I'm trying to make changes to the Android framework as a part of a project. As ambitious as it sounds, I want to flash a Nexus S with an Android 5 image. Can this be done, or is there a limit to the Android version supported by a device?

I recently found out about Ubuntu for Android Multi-Core Smartphones and was digging around on the Ubuntu website as well as the Canonical website but have yet to find any information on if it available to the public yet ?  I am very interested to try it our on my Android and if it is available for the public am wondering where and how I can get a copy of "Ubuntu for Android" ?  If it is not available then perhaps someone can shed some lite on what sort of timeframe it will be until it is available to the general public?

My device is not listed as supported on website . I have ZTE Skate, and some other ZTEs are listed, but not mine.  Is it possible to install the mod on Skate, and what's the risk? If phone is not listed, does it mean, that it was just not tested, or the mod wouldn't work?

Can anyone tell me whether the information at "" still holds for the 2nd generation Nexus 7?  I'm thinking that there may be new compatibility issues, since the hardware/chipset changed.  If the images don't work for Nexus 7 (2013), are there any plans to migrate to and support this device?  Thanks for any help and advice.

Whenever I follow a root guide, I see a link to super su and twrp files. Is this super su and twrp file the same file for all phones or is there a different super su for each phone? Also, if it exists for each phone, is it rom specific? Do I need a seperate super su file for cm 13 and stock rom on the same phone?

I know that Adobe Flash Player is discontinued for Android devices, but is there an alternative way to continue using Flash on an Android device?  I have the APK of Flash Player 10, but I would like to use the most recent version.

Last day I got the notification to download and install official Android 6.0 Marshmallow in my Nexus 5, which is not rooted, was running Android 5.1.1 and no custom ROM. As I downloaded and installed it, from that point its gone to boot loop state (the four dot animation is endlessly running).  I have already searched the web for solution like ,  and many more, but not tried. Because all those help seekers had tried to manually OS install or phone was rooted or already had custom ROM, but my Nexus 5 did not have any of those.  I had tried "wipe cache partition" and reboot, but it did not helped. As I don't had any data backup of my phone storage, the last thing I will be willing to do is "wipe data/factory reset". As my phone's usb debugging was enabled and I had adb in my desktop, so I have also tried to copy data from my phone using the "adb pull" command in boot looped mood. But also did not got any luck, may be "adp pull" command don't work in booting mood or I am doing something wrong with the command.  Any help to backup/recover the data or solution of the boot loop problem without "wipe data/factory reset" is appreciated. Thanks in advance.....

I used Link2SD and Titanium too. Both of them failed. I want to convert a GPS Spoofer to system app. I tried to move it manually,  but in all 3 cases, the app is completely removed from the drawer. Is there any method?  I am on Samsung J200G rooted with TWRP flashing.

Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) was officially announced on July 24, 2013.  (You can review  at the official Android Developer's site or the .)  Of course, not all devices will get this update right away and others won't get it at all. Each manufacturer and carrier often choose to add their custom modifications which tend to delay the official release.  When will each device get Android 4.3, either officially or unofficially, if ever?  See also:

Galaxy S5 running LineageOS 16 (Android 9).  I'm having issues with running out of storage space, even though I have 128GB external SD card, merged with the internal storage. Is there a way to create a symlink from the internal memory to the external SD card, even though they are technically merged and aren't identified as separate storage locations within Android as a result?  I've never made symlinks on Android so I'd appreciate some pointers or resources on that as well.

I didn't backup my /efs I didn't do anything to it. What seems to be the solution? I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (I-9300)

I'm discovering the possibilities offered by persistent live USB using Ubuntu 19.10 and I was wondering if it would be possible to boot with Ubuntu on Android (i.e. using your computer capabilities through your smartphone) using those multi-plug USB sticks which have both USB3 and micro-USB2.  In other way: can I get some kind of a boot menu on an Android device in order to boot with a persistent live USB in order to access my Linux computer tools and setup from a wider range of devices?

I need to run Google Plus, and Google Plus needs the Google Play service.  Every time I install google play service from the Google Play store it fails to install with this error:     Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID   What could be the issue? How can I fix this?  UPDATE: I know almost nothing about android, so I dont know what ROM is, or such thing, I get my phone from local production and I guess, yes, it uses custom system, so I just know that I'm using Android Version 4.0.4. any help would be greatly appreciated.
