How to Install Android 4.1.2 XXANA2 on Galaxy Star Duos GT-S5282

Galaxy Star Duos GT-S5282 on its own won’t be able to experience an improved battery unit, performance, new features and so on. Only the presence of Android 4.1.2 will make that possible. The update to this OS can happen if you read the guide today.

XXANA2 came out especially for the Galaxy Star Duos GT-S5282. And especially for India. Going around and installing the new firmware on another smartphone will lead to only one thing: the bricking of your device.

For those of our readers who would much prefer to use Samsung’s KIES: the KIES logo comes turned on. To be able to use this alternative method with success, your handset must have a running stock ROM. Our tutorial doesn’t ask you for this sort of ROM.

The update will deliver many new things. The ones that matter the most: sync and connect email updates, Google Now and touch anticipation. But wait, there’s more: extended Vsync timing, a fixed frame of 60 fps and triple buffering. A new keyboard, free style widget, group cast, all share and automatic adjustment for the size of widgets should also be added. The last novelties to be specified here: pop up play as well as mini apps.

For all of these goodies to be experienced, some cons will have to happen. That is, if the smartphone is rooted. If it is, root access will become revoked once you update your device. The system partition will be erased, but the internal/external SD cards together with the important data won’t suffer damage.Galaxy-star-DUOS-GT-S5282
