What is Jelly Bean?
Jelly Bean is the next major update to Android O/S(Operating System) and is due out some time July 2012, and that is just rumor and speculation but it seems to be spot on. If you haven’t played with Ice Cream Sandwich, it is about time to consider going out and buying a new phone. Check to see if you can upgrade you plan [Affiliate Link] to the newest Operating System, Ice Cream Sandwich! If it can you should consider doing that in the next few weeks!
Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean)
With the recent activities about Jelly Bean, I came across a post about CyanogenMod going to start working on the newest release Android 4.1. I have been thinking to myself, it would be nice to have it on my HTC Inspire that I just got done putting Android 4.0 otherwise know as Ice Cream Sandwich. I must admit, this is quite fascinating when it comes to how I would need to do this. Although if your running ICS then you shouldn’t have any major problems installing Jelly Bean! That is at least what I’ve heard.
Backing Up!
Don’t let it be said, that I never have told you to back up your stuff. I’ve already talk about some of the Cloud service backups but that is different from just backing up your device. Now here are a few good App’s that you should always install to back up your important data off your device.
- App Backup & Restore — Huge time saver for me. If you have several apps that you must have at all times, this will back them up onto your SD card or Micro SD card for you to restore later. I can’t say much more than this. It won’t back up your contacts but I’ve got somethin for that also!
- SMS Backup & Restore — Another Great little app for when you want to backup your text messages. This is one of those that I keep on my phone. You never know when you need that text message.
- Backup Contacts — Great little App that lets you backup you contacts and upload it to Gdrive. The only thing is that you have to have Gdrive installed to upload it to your Google Drive in the Cloud! You can’t do an automatic backing up of contacts but that isn’t really a need for me. I don’t build contacts every day but I do it once a month or once a week depending on the need of backing up my contacts!
- Titanium Backup — This little app does all that and more but the only caveat is that you have to buy it for $6.58 to have to be able to have cloud support, and you need to have Root Access so this can be a downfall to some of you. That is why I gave you some other options that are free to use to backup all you important programs!
With These apps, I can get my HTC Inspire ready to upgrade to Jelly Bean version that is coming in the next few weeks from what CyanogenMod is predicting. Although there isn’t an exact date just yet. When I find out I’ll post it as soon as I can. This is will be a major update to my system. I’ve heard from others that the Jelly Bean O/S is really responsive and I hope the mod will be also be as responsive. Are you ready for Jelly Bean? or do you need to upgrade you Phone first?
