Update Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 with Jellybean 4.1.2

Yesterday I successfully updated my Galaxy Mini S5570(which was running gingerbread) to Jellybean 4.1.2, It took me 6 failed tries to be finally able to successfully update.

Ok so here's how to do it.

Make sure your phone is rooted before proceeding.

Step 1 : Download below zip files.(Just google the file names)

File No 1(Jellybean pack) : cm-10-20121020-UNOFFICIAL-tass.zip
File No 2(Google Now) : gapps-jb-20120815-KonstaKANG.zip
File No 3(Google apps) : gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
File No 4(clockworkmod recovery tool) : update-CWM-5.2.0.8-Touch2-squadzone.zip

Step 2 : copy File No 4 into your SD card. Now reboot your phone in recovery mode(By holding home button). (Use Volume Key up/down to navigate and home key to select)--> Update zip from SD card -->select the file and install updates.

Step 3 : Copy File No 1,2 and 3 in SD Card.

Step 4 : Reboot the phone once again in to recovery mode, this time boot screen should be replaced by the clockworkmod boot screen you just installed. If it does not start accordingly, repeat the Step 2 again.

Step 5 : Once loaded in clockwork boot, select Install zip from SD card --> select File no 1(cm-10-20121020-UNOFFICIAL-tass.zip) and install. Repeat same with File no 2 and 3.

Step 6 : Reboot the phone, If all steps are performed accordingly, your phone should start in jelly bean version. Please note that It may take upto 10 mins for first boot.

If anything goes wrong. use below link to roll back to gingerbread version.

Setting up environment for android application development

We will need to download/install 4 things for setting up the environment.

1. Android SDK
2. Java Development Kit(JDK)
3. Eclipse
4. ADT Plugin for Eclipse

now lets explore each requirements step-by-step.

1. Android SDK is first initial thing you need to install. go to this link to download. I would suggest to download exe file if you are windows user.
2. Java Development Kit(JDK): as android is based on Java, you need JDK. download it from here.
3. Eclipse is a platform- tool where you will be developing apps. download it from here.( "Eclipse Classic" version is recommended)

Before going ahead please make sure you have downloaded and installed all 3 things listed above(for detailed guide on how to install above 3 things click here).

Now, if you have eclipse installed, last thing is to install

4. ADT plugin for eclipse. download it from here.
