[Q] Guidance to upgrade GB to newer OS topic

Hi guys, I'm quite a novice here and my XPlay has been stuck on GB till today. Because many new apps and games are not supported for GB, I gotta upgrade to higher OS.
Any recommendation for stability and lightweight OS?
Hope to have a complete guidance in the upgrading process because I'm not really sure how to upgrade it myself.

Current phone status: Rooted(Via flashtool), but boot loader not unlocked.
Android ver: 2.3.4
Baseband ver: 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-2030280-56
Kernel ver: 2.6.32.9-perf SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1
Build no: 4.0.2.A.0.42

Thanks in advance :)

New SlingPlayer app available, but only for newer select slingbox device's? topic

A new app for the fire TV has been released, SlingPlayer. This is great news for some of us who have previously used the side loaded tablet app, which required a mouse to make selections within the app.

My question is this; the new SlingPlayer app is only compatible with some of the latest SlingBoxes (M1 for example), would there be any workaround to make the app compatible with an older SlingBox like the HD?

Would really be great to not have to purchase a newer SlingBox as mine suits me well, but having the app designed for the fire TV and able to work with the native remote is a huge bonus.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

got an xperia z from coworker, loving it are the newer versions better? topic

For some reason this c6606 phone gets 4 bars better reception than any phone I have. It's a little beat up so I'm thinking about getting the newer versions (are they better?) How easy is it to install ROMs. I've rooted it and the only thing I don't like is the tmobile built in tether program keeps telling me I need to get the upgrade to get hotspot working.
