Android Apps - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If an app is configured to only work on ICS and down and not on JellyBean, what would it take for me to make it so that it'll work on JB? Or you know...if someone can do it lol. But I'd prefer to do it myself. Thanks!

Android is retrocompatible, so, if an app is developed to work with ICS as minimum version, it SHOULD work on JB.

It shouldn't take you too long to port it over. Some apps won't require any modifications to work on the new firmware, while others do.

Porting? Isn't that moving something from one device to another?

A lot of developers are from countries where the SGS3 isn't available yet, e.g. the US. Give it a bit of time

I think it's quite fast to be honest. We had a ROM and root before the device was even released!
Saying that, I'm pleased with the speed and interface on the s3 as it is (for now), so finding little reason to install custom.
Once voodoo is enabled on a kernel I'll look at installing a custom one.

lols you call being rooted already even when the rooter didn't have the device slow?
you call having beta roms already floating around even when the device was just released slow?
the only time i'll say development is slow is if a certain gavin-phelan actually manages to develop something let's say the next decade for this sgs3.
come on you devs! where are your developments?!?!?! what's taking all of you so long?! it's so easy to develop something you know, even us random posters cand do it fast and easy!
you are all so ##$$&@*@ slow for gavin-phelan's sake!
very few devs would spend $700 for a device.

USA has different specs and this model is not going to get released here anyway. To the op, cm9 developers are working on this and aosp roms always take some time after release since they have to do some device specific tweaks. Right now most roms will be stock variants.

Rooting a Samsung's nothing though because Samsung wants it to be easy so doesn't include any encryption.

Samsung i577 Galaxy exhilarate.

Why is there no place on xda for this phone? I have been searching and so far I've only found a deodexed stock ics rom and the CM9 and CM10 rom. Does anyone know if there is a touchwiz jellybean rom for this phone, or a developer forum for it anywhere?

I know what he meant... but there are people working on AOSP for our phone... From what I gather as soon as the kernel is up to par and booting we will have lots of room to play and ROMs will probably be abundantly available.... just BE PATIENT! lol
Yes everyone wants that. Obviously it'd be much easier and safer to flash it is coming. Just be patient. We've got people on it.

why? other apps have been taken from Samsung devices. aNote from the Note 8 runs on my HTC One. if TW is the issue then somebody can pull the app from the Google Play version of the S4.
Learn how to then.

It seems you are only going to get flamed here. I would see if you can find the apk in the google play edition rom for the S4 and see if someone can give you a hand porting it over. My guess is if it works on that rom it will likely work on any rom/phone

Nope. You can't pull the apk from the Google okay edition since it needs the framework from tw to function. Unless you can get it ported you're outta luck.

Might as well get used to not using it. The Samsung calendar needs Samsung framework. Its call building brand loyalty. Why do you think so many still use an iphone.

I actually prefer the look of sCalendar as well. It's missing some basic functions (like custom repeating events, etc), but I really like the look and ease of view switching.
As this is getting no where and the info is easily searched for and found.

(Patience is key) I think some developers are working on it now, but it is a challenge to port a new version of stock android on to the jfltevzw because the device is different than your average nexus device. Then you also have to take in the fact that devs are working on other projects on the moment and wish not to abandoned them.
Thank you for the post. And I do understand that. Very anxious!
