So i have never done anything like this before but i have gotten to a stage where i wish to do something to keep this phone going or replace it. Basically a lot of new apps and things need a higher version of android to work that i wish to use mostly 4.4 and above it seems to cover most stuff although higher version will increase its life time for longer so higher versions might be considered. i am pretty sure when i last tried to update the phone software it pretty much crashed and didn't work or got stuck and after leaving it on overnight it was still stuck so i gave up might need to recheck this.
I am also reading over everything in the fact and trying to understand the jargon used and if installing a custom rom is even right for me and just a few questions i have so far and will try to follow up best i can.
So i take it when i install a new rom i will lose all the current data on my phone sort of like formatting on a pc? so i will have to go through and save what i wish off the phone and then re-add it into the phone after a new rom is installed?.
what does v10X or v20A mean and how can i find what mine is? all i can tell its something to do with the android version but i am not to sure exactly.
Information about my phone:
Lg 4x hd (lg-p880)
Android version 4.1.2
kernel version 3.1.10
Purchased from kogan.com.au it defaults to GMT+8:00 taipei standard time after powering off which is very annoying i believe to be Hong Kong stock from memory since the phone was never officially came out in Australia. Has a few apps that i was unable to remove using basic phone interface i turned the updates for them off although it still pops up every now and then some how, would like these removed.
Thanks for any help provided in advance.
