Root Is it possible to install Jelly Bean on Triumph?

[Meerky]

I'm currently using stock ROM on the rooted phone (I had tried others, but stock worked the smoothest for me, plus I preferred the phone dialer and contact list on it). But my bank app just upgraded to requiring at least 2.3.3, so was thinking of trying to push it further for a few other apps I've never been able to use because of requiring 4.0.

I've seen videos on YouTube about installing Jelly Bean on the Triumph, and 2 websites, but not really much mentioned here on the Android Forums about it. The sites are:
How to install Android 4.3 Jelly Bean on Motorola TriumphAndroidNectar
Upgrade/Update MOTOROLA TRIUMPH to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean | Samsung KitKat JellyBean ROM

Is it safe and stable? Or would you recommend another rom? I just want it to be stable and not sluggish. My current setup works near flawlessly, very fast response to everything. I guess I could live without 4.0+ for awhile longer, but I've been looking into other phone plans. I really hate to give up the $25/month Virgin plan though.

JB didn't pan out. The kernel kept evolving and even while still in ICS range it got really hard to keep the modified FroYo kernel working. BSydz knew way more about it than anybody else I knew.

As far as the $25 plan, hit my up if you want me to tell you how I've been paying less than $54/month for all three of my phone.

Consider yourself hit up! I've been contemplating switching to the new Cricket, which would end up costing $35/month and be unlimited phone and get me a reasonably priced Android 4+ phone (was considering the LG L70). Since the $25 plan at Virgin then has taxes added on making it $29.something (Cricket's plan includes taxes), it would only cost me a little over $5 more per month and I'd probably have better service than I'm getting with Virgin.

So how are you getting 3 phones for $54? Ting possibly?

Edit: I should add I really really like my Motorola Triumph phone, but there's starting to be some good apps I have to pass on that require Android 4+, and the $25 price I'm sure will end sooner or later.

Well if you look at my link you would see that with Ting I have the three phones, use less than 500 minutes, less than 500MB and less than 2000 messages. The total with taxes is $53.72.

When I was by myself I was running about $20/month. And I have the bennifit if someone uses my link I, and they, get $25. I sarted with the original Samsung Epic and had a buch of fun with that. Moved to the Epic Touch and am now on the SGS3.

I had looked at Ting, but from what I could see, the phone selections were pricey unless you wanted a used phone, which I didn't want. The phone I'm looking at with Cricket will end up costing $49.99... $99.99 discounted price plus a $50 VISA card rebate on it. That seems hard to resist for the LG L70.

I'll take another look at Ting though in case I overlooked something. The monthly billing plan does seem pretty nice though.

Edit: If anyone has any experience with Cricket and their phones, if rootable or not at all, I'd appreciate it. The 2 phone choices are LG L70 and the Moto G. I like the Moto G except for not having any SDcard expansion slot, so that's mainly why I'm favoring the LG L70.

Theses phones are well known for being hard to root and even then they are really hard to ROM well.

By the way, the Epic, which is on par with the MT, can be had for about $40 off of eBay.

By Epic Touch, you mean the Samsung Galaxy SII, right? While it looks like a pretty nice phone, it lists Gingerbread (or can it be upgraded to JB?), and if I stick with the same version of Android, I might as well just install CM7 or MIUI on the MT that I have. If I do get a new phone, I want at least Android 4, and not a used or refurbished phone. I'm pretty anal about my devices, phone included, not having any scratches.

Officially it can have JB. With ROMs you can get KK.
