JaggyROM 3 for HTC Explorer- Giving a nice makeover to your Explorer
Hey folks, JaggyRom 3 is out for your HTC Explorer. This newer update looks very cool (turns majority of your phone icons to blue, bluish glow in scrolling plus Ice Cream Sandwich (android 4) icons in setting menu).
I just tried it on my HTC Explorer and it turned supercool. Apart from this color transition, this newer update for Explorer has some new features for better user experience, like Auto-brightness, Auto-rotation, Wi-Fi, GPS, Auto-sync and Power Efficiency links have been added to the quick setting menu.
Adrenaline engine for better RAM usage and faster processing and sd-card read/write speeds has been integrated into the newer update.
Also users can flash Bravia engine and X-loud engine onto the ROM. Bravia engine is for better graphics quality and X-loud is for music. Seriously speaking, I couldn't make out a difference with Bravia engine but yes X-loud factor has done a good job with my audio.

-Now, select 'Apply update from sdcard' >> Yes- Install /sdcard/update.zip
-Once done, reboot your HTC Explorer by selecting 'Reboot system now'.

Transfer the file to your sd-card. The process is same as above but this time DO NOT WIPE DALVIK CACHE. Just select 'Install zip from sdcard' >> choose zip from sdcard >> navigate to the file and select 'yes'.
