How to install Android 4.4 KitKat on a ZTE Open

Don't get me wrong: THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH FIREFOX OS AND I HATE ANDROID. I simply want to know how to do this for future reference and to grow my knowledge of how these devices work.
I have a ZTE Open which runs FxOS 1.1
How to I install Android 4.4 onto my phone? I've looked it up a ton and I can't find a good way for my device. If you want to help me, great! If you happened to be "offended" by my request please don't feel like cho have to :P
You guys rock!

Hi Renard d'Allan,
I don't personally know how to do this, but it seems that some people have been able to do it on certain devices.
I found a video on Youtube of someone that was able to port Android 4.4 KitKat to the ZTE Open C:

Please keep in mind that this would be very experimental, and there is always the risk of bricking your device.
I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any user-related issues in the future.
Thanks,
- Ralph

    You cannot install Android onto a Lumia 520. You should have done a bit of research before buying the 520 if you feel that the phone doesn't meet your requirements.

  • How to Install Plug-in for PS cs5 to open RAW (.NEF) file for Nikon D810 Camera

    I need someone to walk me through how to install a Plug-in for PS cs5 to open RAW (.NEF) file for Nikon D810 Camera.
    I haven't used photoshop in ages and I got a new camera. I have been on the phone with Adobe (no help) and spent a couple of hours online trying to figure this out. I'm confused, frustrated and about to throw my computer out the window.
    Also, I placed this in the "Photoshop for Beginners" since Photoshop CS5 doesn't appear anymore. I know CS5 is outdated but I spent hundreds of dollars on this program and you would think adobe would still honor its product.
    Any guidance is much appreciated.
    AJ

    Odds are cs5 is too old. If you do a search on my the main Adobe website there is a list of compatible cameras for the last known update to camera raw for cs5.
    Each version of Photoshop only gets so many updates for camera raw then it is necessary to upgrade Photoshop to get the next update for camera raw.
    So you currently have 4 choices.
    1 upgrade Photoshop
    2 get Lightroom - latest version
    3 get Photoshop elements -latest version
    4 get dng converter - this will download the latest version an is the only option that is free.
    The dng converter can be found by searching Adobe website.

  • How to install medialib (very confused)

    I need the medialib headers and library's to compile ffmpeg. However, how to install medialib, I have no clue. I open the download site, I get 8 packages, tried everyone of them. Some of them contain reloc directory's, copied the content to the proper directory in my system. However, the compilation from ffmpeg still says I need medialib (which means I did not install it properly). Can anyone point me in the correct direction?
    Specs:
    OS: GNU/Linux
    Distro: Fedora Core 6
    Arch: i386/32-bit

    It does seem that you really want to get a working GNU/Linux distribution, when I first started with it, I was a student at high school (circa 1994), and there WERE no easy to use distributions, everything was a hard slog to get working.  Arch is quite simple once you work your way around it the first time, unfortunately however, it does require you to become a little familiar with the terminal and the commands available from it.
    The fundamental difference is that you need to type your commands rather than just clicking on something to get it to work as in windows.  There are downsides compared to ubuntu, but you will quickly find, that if you try to get it working, then once you have mastered it, the rest will come easily.
    On the other hand, you could try one of the other distributions, Ubuntu is generally considered pretty good for most new users, but if you have had problems with it, then it might be worth trying Fedora, again it is very easy to use and configure.  However you will likely find that there will always be something that you stumble with on any easy to use distribution unless you understand the fundamentals of how the operating system works.  This is something that a distribution such as Arch will teach you, in spades. 
    The most important thing though is to not let yourself get intimidated.  It is quite easy to just look at the wiki for example, and think to yourself that you are not capable of understanding or following the instructions, in some respects you don't need to understand them now, that will come later, but if you think you can follow the instructions, even if it means printing the pages out so that you have a hard copy that you can follow then it is worth doing, and you will find yourself with a feeling of accomplishment at the end that you would not get if you got Ubuntu or Fedora working.

    how to install adobe digital editions on android device (zt pad)

    I don't think ADE will itself run on Android.
    You need to install an app such as Bluefire (free) which supports DRM epub books.
    Make sure you authorise it with the same AdobeID you use on the PC or to buy books.
    You can get books on the PC with ADE, download them, 'sideload' the .epub files to the tablet using a file manager such as Windows Explorer, and read them on Bluefire.
    For library books, the Overdrive app (free) should allow you to borrow, doanload and read books with no need for a PC or ADE.

    For Contacts and Calendars use SmoothSync (Play Store) you will need to buy both versions, one for Contacts and one for Calendars.
    Please note that iCloud has nothing to do with Google so what yu want to do won't work. iCloud mail is a standard IMAP system, consult the instructions for your phone.

  • How to install Windows 8 on Mid 09 Macbook Pro (10.8.3)

    So i loved the new Windows 8, and even had it installed before bootcamp supported windows 8 on my new iMac, i waited to buy a bigger hard drive and more ram for my mid 09 Macbook Pro.  The day i bought the new hardware, Apple released 10.8.3, and an updated bootcamp to support Windows 8!  Yay!  I got my install disc out (iso file burned to DVD), opened up bootcamp assistant, only to get an error saying apple dropped support for my mid 09 Macbook Pro and Windows 8.  Making the install impossible through bootcamp.  Do not fret, i have the solution, and EVERYTHING works perfectly.  Here we go.
    Gather your Windows 8 install disc AND a Windows 7 install disc (you can surely find one by searching the net, use your old one, or borrow a colleagues... we are licensing Windows 8, NOT 7, this is just for my trick to fool bootcamp assistant and no i do not condone piracy)
    Inside BootCamp Assistant, the driver download may hang,it did for me, twice..could be heavy usage due to the popular new update...so i recommend downloading it faster, and manually here http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents  and get 4.1.4586  yes this is for windows 7, ALSO while you are there, download the windows 8 support pack 5.0.5033, as we will need that later as well.  As a matter of fact, DO IT THIS WAY and dont bother
    That being said and done, in BootCamp Assistant (OSX), only check off Install Windows 7, leaving the download support software unchecked
    Partition your hard drive as youd like, this splits up your storage space however you like, keep in mind which OS you plan to run the most, and obviously give that one more room, i.e you do all your Photoshop work, and app development in OSX, and only use Windows for office stuff, you'd want to give yourself more room on the OSX side.  I however bought a huge new internal drive to split them basically in half, as i use them both frequently.
    This step is where the trick comes.  OSX 10.8.3 / BootCamp will advise you there is no support for Windows 8..only 7 with your Mid 09 Macbook Pro if you have put your Windows 8 disc in, upsetting you as it did me...possibly bringing you to this post, thats not FAIR is it?  Your 09 MacBook Pro is still JUST AS GOOD as a lot of PC's running Windows 8, why they excluded this model i have no idea...im sure they had reasons, but i dont care at the moment..lol
    INSTEAD place a Windows 7 install disc in, and click next.  BootCamp Assistant will now partition your drive, make the windows side bootable and restart your  MBP.
    Let it do its thing, and eventually you will land at the Windows 7 installation interface.  We don't really want that, we want Windows 8 right? 
    Click the "x" to close the installation for Windows 7, it threatens your MBP will restart, and allow it to do so.
    **IMPORTANT**  Once you hear the beloved Mac chime, quickly press and hold the "option" key.
    This brings you to an area where you can select a startup disk.  At this point, lets get rid of the trick.  Hit your eject button and get rid of the Windows 7 install disc, we are done with it now.
    You now, well in my case anyway, should only see your Mac HD, and the Recovery Disk. 
    Insert your Windows 8 install disc
    Now WAIT.  Eventually, you should see a new DVD looking icon that says Windows pop up next to the MacHD and Recovery Disk.  (depending on what you called your iso, it may something else...not sure, but you cant miss the new entry)
    This is where a wired mouse will be needed, or use tab/space/enter to navigate to the new Windows Disc icon and launch it.
    You are now in Windows 8's installation interface, cool!
    Follow the steps until it asks you where you want to install it.  You should see a partition about equal to what you set earlier in BootCamp Assistant, and it SHOULD say Bootcamp right on it.  Select this partition.  (mine was the last one, the fourth i believe)
    OH NO, it says you cant install it to that partition, this is normal.  You need to highlight/select this partition, and click format.  I cant remember, but i think you have to click "options" to get to a the spot where you can format it.  Pretty straight forward.  Safety check, obviously make sure you have the Bootcamp partition selected, dont format your Mac OSX partition!
    After the quick format is done, Windows 8 installer will then allow you to click "next" and from there the magic happens.
    Go through the whole Windows 8 install, and setup how you would like, this takes awhile, and im not covering that, as its a hand in hand walkthrough like any other install.
    Once your inside your new Windows 8, you'll see a bunch of things not working, like tap to click on your trackpad, no on screen displays for brigtness, volume, and possibly other stuff.  Not cool right? 
    Grab your USB stick, or Burnt disc that you applied the bootcamp support downloads to in the begining of this tutorial.
    FIRST open the Windows 7 Bootcamp install, 4.1.4586, open the folder and find setup.exe and run it (we are in windows 8 now)
    It takes a while, but Apple's BootCamp will install a bunch of drivers, etc, and eventually restart your MBP, which is cool, let it do it.
    Upon finishing, lets go back to the USB/Burnt Disc where all your support software was saved, and lets get the newly support BootCamp 5.0.5033 opened up.
    Big Thanks to a post by ErikVanD i seen on this forum for the next step.
    If you want, try and click setup in this latest BootCamp support set, and you will get another sad error claiming x64 is not supported, something awful to that nature.  Awww man, this far, only to get let down.  Nope.  We are going to fix that.  And this is where ErikVanD's post pointed me to what we do next.
    It was said to navigate in the BootCamp 5.0.5033 folder to something of the effect of BootCamp/Drivers/Apple and run the MSI file "BootCamp"  (MSI file will say Windows Installer in its description, and not necessarily MSI for anyone not too savy with Windows) **note - NOT .bootcamp (notice the period in the front) and it should work and install the new Windows 8 support for your MBP...but in my case it didn't, which is why im posting how i fixed this.  Your setup may somehow be different, but mine gave me an error say it "needs elevated permissions to run, use setup.exe instead.  We tried that remember!  And it gave us the x64 not supported error.  Oh man!  Blabbing aside, this file needs to be ran as an administrator, which yeah your the only user, but Windows is funny like that.  Normally youd just right click, and select run as administrator, but out the box, that option isnt there when you right click, only install, repair, open with etc.  Here's the next trick, you need to add a registry file to enable running as an administrator, dont be afraid, this is an old trick, and really easy. 
    Open notepad in Windows, and create a new doc, call it Add_MSI_run_as_administrator.reg
    Paste this following code into the new doc
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Msi.Package\Shell\runas] "HasLUAShield"=""  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Msi.Package\shell\runas\Command] @=hex(2):22,00,25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,\    00,25,00,5c,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,6d,00,\   73,00,69,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,63,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,22,00,20,00,2f,\   00,69,00,20,00,22,00,25,00,31,00,22,00,20,00,25,00,2a,00,00,00
    Or download the file already made from my company server at http://www.theprojectdev.com/public/pub.html  **i put this there as a courtesy to help others like me, its just a complete reg file, so either create your own through copy and pasting above or download it.  Either way, put it on your desktop.
    Now double click the new registry file, and allow/ok it to do its thing. 
    Once done, you can discard the file from your desktop, or keep, your choice.
    Guess What!?  Now we can do the impossible!  Lets revisit that solution from before by going to the newest BootCamp 5.0.5033, and navigate to BootCamp/drivers/Apple and select that tricky BootCamp MSI file that wouldnt allow us to run, this time RIGHT CLICK it.  Because of our new registry entry we placed, we now have an option to "Run as Administrator"  Click that option.
    WooHoo!  We have done what coudnt be done, BootCamp will now walk you through the installer, and add all the great support for Windows 8 on your mid 09 Macbook Pro that they for some reason neglected!
    After the update, you will endure yet another restart.  From there, most likely using a wired mouse still, navigate to the system tray icon on the bottom right corner of the screen (little up arrow) and click it.  It will pop up a little menu, showing system processes/stuff running, click the gray squared diamond (this is bootcamp) and it will bring up the newest BootCamp control panel.  From here, you can nav to trackpad/touchpad and set tap to click (finally) and gestures, etc.  This control panel has lots of good stuff to make a MBP user feel comfortable in Windows 8.  There you go!  You did it!
    I really, sincerely hope this helps someone, as it really made my day to get this resolved.  I want to add that all On Screen Displays will work (your volume/brightness etc)  they keyboard backlighting, and so much more, it really works great.  I upgraded my hard drive to 1tb, and installed 8gb of PNY RAM from best buy ($40) and it runs Windows 8, AND OSX fantastically.
    My company http://www.theprojectdev.com designs and develops mobile apps (iOS and Android) and web design and development, so im a heavy user of both OS's, and this setup is just the best thing that has happened to me in a portable sense. Runs so so so fast!  Enjoy everyone! 

    **********************IMPORTANT EDIT TO THE TUTORIAL***********************************************************
    Everyone im sorry, i made a mistake informing you which BootCamp support drivers to download from Apple.  You see I originally downloaded my Windows 7 Support from the BootCamp Assistant, and had the version number completely wrong. 
    The first BootCamp install packahe you should down load from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents is actually 4.0.4033 
    That will be your first BootCamp installation in Windows 8 that works.  Im so sorry Markeez for wasting your time, my excitement had blinded me last night.
    Also be sure to copy both 4.0.4033's folder and the latest 5.0.5033 folders to your Windows 8 desktop as well, dont run them off your USB stick or DVD/C, whatever media you copied them to.
    So Markeez, after you download the correct Windows 7 Support Software 4.0.4033, simply click setup.exe and it will run without any trouble.
    Then after the inital BootCamp install is complete, your MBP restarted and all is done, you need to perform the "Run as Administrator" trick i posted above.  Its real easy.  Open notepad, and copy the EXACT code i posted in the tutorial in a fresh new doc, and save the file to your desktop EXACTLY how i posted it Add_MSI_Run_as_administrator.reg 
    Now close notepad, and double click the newly created registry file, and allow it access to do what it needs.  What this does is allows your run the new installer in BootCamp 5.0.5033 as an administrator, which you wont have the option to unless you use this registry file.  
    Ok after the registry part is done, go inside the latest BootCamp 5.0.5033 folder, to BootCamp/drivers/Apple and find BootCamp --- probanly the ottom most MSI file, and again it will not say MSI on the right side, it will say Windows Installer or something to that degree.  Also do NOT confuse it with a similar file in that folder called .bootcamp  this is not the one we need.   OK, so now, using a WIRED MOUSE, right click the BootCamp MSI file, and you will now have the option to Run As Administrator, if you did the registry bit.  IF YOU DIDNT do the registry bit, you will only see Install, Repair, Uninstall etc.  If thats the case, just download the zip from my company site, it contains only a completed copy of that reg file.
    Running this file in the Apple folder as an admin is the key to making this work, let me know if you have any further issues, im watching.  Also i apologize everyone, but for some reason i cant edit the tutorial to fix my mistake, very sorry about the confusion.
