Xperia C5 downgrade to jellybean, possible? - Sony Xperia C5 Ultra

Phone is Xperia C5 e5553
Is this possible?
Im really not familiar with custom rom, rooting or jailbreak, however i hear these terms whenever i ask about it.
Finally a friend adviced me to visit xda and register. I would highly appreciate if someone could help.
BTW here are the apps im trying to use, but it installs a messaging app which disables the default messaging app, if youre using kitkat and newer OS.
Extreme call blocker
Shady sms
Thanks in advance!

No bro this is impossible for 2 reasons :
1- this phone is new and first firmware was 5.0 so any custom rom will be on 5.0 or up ...
2- this phone is based on mediatek chipset ... And i think no developer will make a custom rom for it ... As you see the android development part of this phone is empty ... Only official firmware is available for now
No hope for jelly bean custom rom ... Why you need it ? Lollipop is much better and more beautiful and faster than jellybean (except battery usage )

Because pre kitkat the apps im using for messaging works fine.
Now i would have to download a different messaging app for it to work.

I need help to flash a rom on lg l9 p768g

:good: HI FELLAS, i am a newbie around here and i barely have knowledge about what the custom roms really are.
The part i want to be helped is that i want to install a custom rom on my LG L9 P768g , because i do not want to be on stock rom which is ICS 4.0.4 though ..so i want to install a rom with all of the cool features(settings like theme customization, CPU and GPU overclocking, etc) of jelly Bean OS or if its can to be installed a Kit Kat based rom.
I need to know what roms would work just fine without any minor bugs or some bad thing in my specific device.
Thanks:confused

Before you can do anything, you have to root your device and then unlock the bootloader. Without unlocking the bootloader your options are very limited. Just search the L9 forums. There's plenty of threads about all this. Here's a place to start. And another one to check out as well.

you need to root first if your manufacturer does not provide any update then u can update to 4.4 through recovery...

It first needs to be rooted. The easiest way I found to root it is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276
You can then install a custom recovery using Odin or any alternatives, or look for a way to install a .zip from within the phone (I can help with that once you root it and find a ROM.
After some "Googling", I found some ROMs and many guides on YouTube, but none was for the 4.4 KitKat.

Root doesn't magically give you access to updates that have never come out.
OP: There's a good chance there is no version of 4.4 (stock or custom) for your phone, but without knowing WHICH Q Mobile phone you have, no one can tell you what is available for it.

It shows in the screenshot that it is QMobile A7. I searched a lot but didn't find any KitKat based ROM (stock or custom). The latest I found is 4.1.2, and they are very unknown and I don't recommend trying them.

LoL Sure does say it right there. Looked right past it. But yea, no Kit Kat love for that thing.
well i have tried rooting but don't know about rooting i install app (root checker basic) and it says ( this device does not have proper root access )
so is there any way to deal with it ?
i have one more mobile and that is a4 but its way slower than a7
a4 spec is
processor = 1 ghz
ram = 256mb
rom = 128mb
os = andriod 2.3
i guess a4 need 4.4 badly

This app doesn't root, it only checks if the phone is rooted.
For help rooting your device, I suggest seeing this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332768

There will be no 4.4 official stock for galaxy s3, never, ever.
If you need 4.4.4 like CM go to cyanogenmod site and follow the steps (easy peasy installation).
It's true, that iam a newbie in Android's world.
I own samsung s3 since 2 months & it's my first android experience.
That's why i need a little explanation
why official stock rom for version 4.4.4. isn't available for our phones.
When Win XP has arrived , it was for all PCs, isn't it ?

That is samsungs decision, after some time they stop the development for the phone, and it's been 2 years now with s3, from ics to jelly bean, and the time has come and development is stopped.
But, you have samsung kitkat ports here on xda under android development, but, since they are unofficial there might be some bugs if you don't pair them with a good kernel.
Since you are new, i suggest you to take a break and read, read all the FAQ, read every info, read about EFS backup (very important) and then, when you have all the information you need, go with rom flashing etc.
And listen to me, if you won't read and inform yourself you will mess something up and come back here to ask for help, and first response you will get is read before doing anything.
Happy readin, flashing, cheers
In this case here is my next question
On the horizon appears the next version - Android 5.0
If i understand correctly, that means once again Android x.x will not be made available for our phones and we will need to get again some custom roms, aren't we ?

Hello and welcome to XDA Q&A section of the Forum.
I assume you have some knowledge in the android world of modding (some people don't and some people do) and that you have rooted your phone, here is the thread to the ROM.
Goodluck and hopefully I helped you, if I did, hit "thanks"

True but who likes Samsungs stock ROM any way? It is buggy, full of bloatware and eats your RAM like Google chrome.
May be.but I have hugucrespect for stock ROMs since I experienced all custom ROMs in so many devices.
If you have rooted your stock ROM,Its enough.
And I really love stock samsung and LG ui.

Question Custom ROM or alternative Rom

Hello Everyone
This is my first question so if I make any mistake please tell me and I will correct them.
I love my Oppo Find N, is the best I have ever had and it fit my life style perfectly. However I'm not happy with the software in general.
My questions are
- do you know any custom ROM for this phone ? If not Do you think that if I flash a Z fold 4 ROM on it would it work ?
thank you
The rom of other device will never work

Do you know any custom ROM for the find N?
At this moment there is no custom ROM because no one was able to root the device nor unlock the bootloader. Without root and bootloader unlocked, it's impossible to have a custom ROM.
