In this tutorial, I will show you how to install the official ICS Beta ROM on Xperia™ Arc S/ Noe V/ Ray handset. Being an official release, you should be getting the Ice Cream Sandwich update via OTA (Over The Air). In case you don’t, this tutorial is going to teach you how to manually install the latest version of the Android platform on your own Xperia™ Arc S/ Noe V/ Ray smartphone.

Have a look at the video demo below to know what the ICS update gives you.

A big advantage of going for Android is that you can enjoy millions of third party apps and choose from thousands of custom ROMs developed for various Android devices. One Android device is as different from the other as one manufacturer from other. Thus different styles run over the same hood. Since Android OS is open-source, it can be modified by a developer to suit the taste of a certain type or class of people. You can not imagine of an Operating System for mobile phones that is more generous and flexible. Of the ROMs that are most popular among Android users, the two are most popular: the CyanogenMod ROM, and the MIUI ROM.

USB Driver is a compulsory thing to be installed on you PC so that your mobile device can interact with your PC. These drivers help us to connect our phone to the computer and perform tasks like data transfer, syncing, use tools like Odin and SuperOneClick, and root and flash firmwares on our device. Almost every manufacturer provides USB drivers with the handset package. Here, we are providing the links to USB drivers for most Android device manufacturers like Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson, Google, HTC, Motorola and ZTE. We found them at ClockWorkMod official site and are sharing here with you all. 

Some days ago I wrote a guide on flashing custom firmware on Symbian Touch devices by Nokia. While some people are adventurous enough to try various custom firmwares available on the web, some people  remain satisfied with the official firmware. Most of them even know  nothing about a firmware update, custom or original one. They buy a brand new phone and forget about it. It is always a good thing to know certain things about your mobile device. By updating the firmware of your device to the latest version, you can make most of it. It can give you more free space, more RAM, better battery life, user interface tweaks, new apps and lots more.

The HTC EVO 4G for Sprint  is the first WiMax-enabled phone available to U.S. consumers. It has a 4.3-inch display, a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, 8 megapixel camera and 1.3 megapixel forward-facing secondary camera, and 3G/4G mobile hotspot capability, all running on Android OS 2.1. All these specs make it a powerhouse in your hands.

Here is a list of some of the best ROMs for HTC EVO 4G available on the internet. Before we begin, we would like you to note that flashing custom ROMs not only voids the warranty of your phone, but might also brick it. Therefore, proceed with your own responsibility.

The Galaxy Nexus is the first full-fledged Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone. Since the device is endorsed by Google itself, it’s naturally the strongest claimer of any upgrade to the Android operating system. In this way, the Galaxy Nexus is a privileged device . No wonder it received the Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich update first while others are only craving for it. It’s somewhat ironical that upgrading to he latest Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich voids your previous root privilege, and rooting again voids it’s warranty.

Anyway, rooting a privileged device has its own privileges. Thanks to XDA member adrynalyne who has created a patch that enables Galaxy Nexus CDMA users to root their device running Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich. This tutorial will escort you to  root your Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Galaxy Nexus is undoubtedly one of the best Android phones. It is a powerful device with stunning features, still the adventurous users would not be satisfied with the stock ROM. While surfing on the internet I found some of the best ROMs for the Galaxy Nexus. I, therefore, thought of posting a collection of custom ROMs for your convenience.
