Q. ok so i have a LG OPTIMUS android phone and it has 2.2 froyo. i saw an app called gingerbread and searched some videos its the 2.3 right so if i download this app does it just change the look or does it add all the new things that were added in 4.3?
A. Gingerbread isn't an app, it's a whole new version of Android - 2.3 to be exact, so it's a newer version than the 2.2 Froyo that you currently have.
However, because it's a complete operating system and not just a normal app, you can't just download and install it like you can with an app.
Instead, you have two choices:
- Wait for an update to come from your phone company; if that happens, one day your phone will show a message telling you it is ready to update to 2.3, and if you accept it'll all happen automatically in a few minutes. Whether this will ever happen, and when, depends on LG and your phone company. To find out more you could google "LG Optimus 2.3 update" and see what you get.
- Root your phone, then install a 2.3 ROM specifically for your phone (if one exists - there are different programmers out there who - because they are cool and have the time to do it - make
custom updates for phones). But rooting and installing ROMs is a lot more complicated than installing apps and if you make a mistake, you can mess up your phone permanently. Rooting also voids your phone's warranty, even if the phone is still working fine.
P.S. Rooting is the same as jailbreaking. It's just that in Android-land it's called rooting, but in iPhone land it's called jailbreaking. Either way, what you are basically doing is breaking through the safeguards that are normally built into the operating system to prevent you from making too many changes to the phone.

PLZ tell me am i doing something wrong? (all of these attemps to get android 4.0 or higher) My mobile have 1ghz cpu and 500mb ram and i am sure it can handle android 4.0 because galaxy s4 wich has an android 4.3 has the same specifications as my mobile. Whats going on? PLZ help me i need to upgrade it as fast as possible. Any links to download an android upgrader? (Without survey) you can also give me torrents plz?

A. An android upgrader? If a file you're looking for you can only find it with surveys it means it's more than likely a scam. Sounds too good to be true anyway if the phone can't run it, it can't run it. You can't magically change it to an extremely good phone.
