Running new apps on old OS - Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G

I would have simply updated the app but it is apparently not compatible with my device since this phone runs on an older OS.
The newest version of snapchat requires at least Android 4.0
Is there any possible way I can update my OS on my exhibit ii from my current version, 2.3.6. to Android 4.0?
I read a lot of posts about rooting and such but I really don't understand what it is or how to do it
If someone could provide me with a fix for the snapchat issue (running it on my current OS) or detailed instructions on how to safely root my device to run Android 4.0 on my phone then I will be the happiest girl in the world!
Please please please help! I just want snapchat back

download official ROM from sammobile.com and some servers do log your android version but that's no harm to anyone.. they just wanna know which android version is more popular..

You just flash cm's 4.2.2 like you did 4.1.....no different. Better read up on it.....sounds like you're a bit confused on how things work. Better to understand exactly what you are doing and not just blindly follow instructions.....best way to keep your device working smoothly and issue free.
The fact that you're on 4.1 has nothing to do with what you flash. Unless you're talking about a dirty flash.....which is a bad idea when changing o/s versions. You want to do a clean install. Backup your apps with titanium backup first.....then off you go.

[Q] Installed Bootloader Unlocked, Rooted, xRecovery v0.1, whats next?

Hey boys,
Finally i decide to upgrade my Xperia X8 (from the last android official update) to a new version. I past the day reading guides, looking videos and finally i got my:
* Bootloader Unlocked.
* Rooted.
* xRecovery v0.1 Installed
Now im trying to decide wich version should i try to upgrade. Some people would say as a first shoot i should upgrade to 2.3.7, but i would like to install a newer version of android like 3.X or 4.X if possible.
My question is, there is any problem if i try to upgrade from Android (2.0 or 2.1) not exactly sure to a newer version (Android 4.0)?
Wich guides do you recommend me to follow, i think that the newer versions ask you to install something called kernel, but 2.3.7 doesnt right?
Thanks for advance.

Need making a ROM for Samsung Galaxy NX Camera

Soooooooo apparently this has never been done before...
The Samsung Galaxy NX Camera is a Camera that runs full Android 4.2.2 and is the first and last of its kind for now. This camera has great potential! I want to be able to use apps to edits my videos and pictures as I do on my Pixel 2 XL BUT the problem is, it doesn't update pass Android 4.2.2. Most of the apps I want to use require the firmware to be at least Android 5.0+ and sucks because not only this device is unknown and discontinued by Samsung but there are no ROMs made for it. I can root the device I just need to get an Android Custom ROM, It would be nice to be able to run Android 9 or 10 but I don't know much about doing this, when comes to stuff like this I am a Newb. So yes I need help figuring this out. (this would be a great challenge for developers I bet lol)
The camera came out in 2014 around the same time as the Samsung S4.
MODEL #: Galaxy NX (EK-GN120a)
Android Version: 4.2.2
If you need more info just ask.
