Out of the box, Samsung Galaxy S1 ran on Android
2.1 Eclair and the updates ended with Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Many of the
Galaxy S1 owners want to get their hands on Android 4.0 or higher version on
their Galaxy S1 but since the official updates have ended, this is not possible
through a stock firmware. The only way to play with your device beyond the
boundaries is getting root access and installing a custom recovery, and than
getting the higher version of Android through custom roms. Root access does not
only give you a way to get higher
version of Android through custom roms, but only allows you to modify your
device, install themes, play with the clock speed of your processor and
increase battery life using root applications and much more.
