Sorry, I'm sure this will have been posted before, but I used the search function and couldn't narrow the results to what I was looking for.
I have a UK EE spec S3 LTE (Kernel - 3.0.31-1153417, Build - JZO54K-I9305XXBMF1). I have seen MSkip's excellent S3 Unified Toolkit and I am close to getting the courage to root my device, ready to put a different firmware on it to get rid of all the crap that Samsung "think" I want.
I have a couple of questions first though:
1. Can someone recommend a ROM that is the closest to stock Android (JB of course) as I love the feel of the Nexus devices. Unless 'proper' stock Android is an option.
2. Does anyone know is installing a custom ROM will affect how my 4G data reception/operation.
3. How likely am I to make a total arse of it and brick my phone?
I'm sure I'll get a few "wrong thread". "Q&A"."Theres the door dimwit" responses, but I'm big enough and ugly enough, with a heavy duty flamesuit so I can take the insults!! I'm sure someone can help :fingers-crossed:

Well, bricking your phone is nearly impossible, just do whatever the instructions says and you'll be fine.
And the 4G reception won't be affected, since the only thing affecting data is modems, and AOSP ROM got no modems.
And as of question number 1, there's a ROM called SuperNexus, it's exactly like a Nexus 4. But it's rarely updated and sources from CM might be a bit old. I suggest using CM or Carbon since they're being frequently updated.
I hope I answered all of your questions!
Cheers,
Sebastian!

Thanks Sebastian! Not heard of Carbon, i'll have to Google that one. When it comes to CM, would you recommend going nightlies or a more stable version? I've heard Paranoid Android is decent too, any opinions on that one?

Cheers, what do you use; nightlies? How often do you have to flash a new one? Are they as full of bugs as I imagine them to be?
This might sound like a stupid question, when you flash a new ROM, so you lose all your things like email settings, apps and stuff. Does the Google Play app come with a new ROM or do you have to get that as an APK from somewhere and manually install it?

CM is updated every night, hence calling them "nightlies".
CM is very stable, and I often flashed a new nightly every morning.
And question about google apps; you download a different zip file, this file contains all the Google apps.
So you first flash CM then the zip file with google apps.

hello everyone.
i have just one question. are ics custom roms any faster or smoother then the gingerbread custom roms ?
i'm currently on surface 9.1 with the latest semaphore kernel and, other then the lag that occurs after a few days, it's fast and smooth in every aspect. and, really the lag doesn't concerns me because a simple restart takes care of that.
i don't care about enhanced multitasking or face unlock or any other of the gimmicks that came with the ics just about the speed and stability of the rom.
current combo is great, but most of (if not all) devs are working on ics roms, and, in some way, i feel left out.
tnx in advance.
There is only one answer ... YES !
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Yes, ICS is definitely faster than GB.
+1 ICS
ICS is definatly faster and smoother.
ics
Hi All ,
just debating whether to install ics 4.0.3 , I have been running 2.3.6 , with semaphore and it has been perfect - whereas ics is definitely more responsive are there any downside/bugs and lack of functionality ?
thanks in advance
I Would say yes!
I'm on ics for a few weeks. I think it's incredibly fast and smooth.
Af least 2 thumbs up for ics

Yes, but which one? I know people are here like, "Oh try them all it only takes a few minutes to flash", but I'd rather not. I'm not sure how to back things up and I don't want to mess around with all the settings that I have going on now every time I flash.

You will need to have a back up of your EFS folder before flashing to ICS as the IMEI number can be wiped. it is a simple operation to restore but if you have not backed it up first you will be flashing back to gingerbread to recover the EFS folder.
Google backing up IMEI/EFS folder and you should find a guide on how to do this (if not PM me and i will send you a link).
Most of the ICS ROMs are now stable enough for everyday use.
I am personally using ICSSGS 4.2 with semaphore 0.9.1 kernel and it is stable, nice and smooth to use.
If you are not wanting to have a few little issues then have another look in a month or two as there are still some small issues that present themselves to a small number of users. Just search/read the thread for each ROM/Kernel for the known issues and make a decision based on your own reasearch. The threads are long but worth the read to identify issues that would stop you from using ROM X over ROM Y.
We all use our phones differently and then therefore have a different set of required features/stock apps

I was on teamhacksung latest build for while. Currently running on slim 2.8. Definitely smoother than GB.
Gingerbread is much more stable. Speed is about the same. I don't recommend ICS, at least for the time being. Check back 1-2 months later.
Much smoother than every GB Rom that I tried out

The stable ones I have tried so far are Dark knight v3, elite v6 which are ics 4.0.4 versions and codenameandroid 1.4 ics 4.0.3 by daxinfinity.

Weird. Reading all the ICS threads I haven't come across to something like this. I thought it'd be a simple flash like to Cyanogenmod. Which ROM for ICS has the most updates because I'm sure that's the one that will be the most stable and widely used.

I might have to take you up on that offer, thanks. I know it's not that hard, but I have zero idea of how to do a Nandroid backup and from what you guys are telling me ICS ROMS aren't good enough for day to day use. I hate the odd Force Close so to put up with them more than needed doesn't sound like an advantage for me even though it'd be nice to have 4.0.

+1... I went back to GB bcoz of the camera, hope fix wil come pretty soon. On ICS when i use 3rd party camera apps, lot of features are disabled and says that the phone is not supported.
Also in stock camera (AOKP M4) there's no option to save to the external sd
My buddy has a cappy and the poor soul is still running 2.1. Now that he no longer has a warranty on it, he wants to root and upgrade it.
My question isn't what's the best ROM because I understand that is highly subjective, but rather, what is the most stable ROM?
ICS on the HTC Inspire only recently hit mile stone release status and, while fairly stable prior to this, still had it's bugs. This was fine for me, but I don't want to bring my friend into this awesome world with a ****ty experience right off the bat plagued with random reboots, bootloops, or non working functions.
So what ROMs are rock solid stable and are good for daily drivers?
And like I said, I'm not looking for "I like this ROM" and I'm not trying to ask what is the best ROM. Only asking about stability.
Thanks guys
Still subjective...but my 2 cents --
Stability wise I would suggest that he upgrade to the Gingerbread 2.3.5 i897ucKK4 release, get Root and then Debloat it completely. Let him run that for a while. He will be pleasantly surprised i think, especially compared to eclair 2.1 that he has been running. Afterwards if he wants to move on to a Developer's Rom, then there are plenty of KK4 based Roms to choose from. He will just have to do some diggin in the Dev forum.
The other Roms ICS, JB, AOSP, CM, MIUI and those similar are very good...but still subjective to each individual user as to what is stable and fit for a daily driver, etc.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
Sounds good. I appreciate the reply.
I do have one last question though. As far as doing this, it looks like I just need to get him updated via the Samsung website updates and then use SuperOneClick for root. Is this correct?
I ask because holy crap are there a lot of traps to accidentally fall in to...
He could do the mini kies route to froyo then gb Or he/u could use the kk4 one click odin or heimdall with bootloaders and then get Root through the [Utility] KK4 Easy Root by Red_81 --- both of these u can find in my signature link below.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
The Heimdall followed by Easy Root seems the best way to go then (less steps). Thanks so much. I appreciate it.

But after reading the Heimdall page and that post you pointed me to, it seems I was looking in the wrong direction. I know the SDK won't hurt anything though, so that is still getting put on there, if for no other reason than ADB. (I'm a fan of ADB. It's gotten me out of more than a few binds before.)

Completely agree with this. Your buddy will need to experience and learn a lot of stuff through this transition, therefor, making the jump to JB from Eclair could make a mess.
Although, once he reaches that point, I have to say that I've been very pleased with AOKP (now on milestone). I was quite hesitant to use it as my daily ROM cause I was so used to stability over tweaks with ROMs made by The Family and The Collective. I've been on it since JB was ported to our cappy and I'm seriously loving it! Can't imagine flashing anything else as my daily ROM unless it's as stable and that coming from a flash addict!
Anyway, hope the transition goes well!
Me too. We were gonna do it yesterday, but after the mayhem of my truck (took 4 hours to rotate TWO tires....), we decided that luck was not with us and decided against it lol. Hopefully I can get him to man up about it today.
Thanks for the help guys! Now to produce another convert... muahahahaha!

Hi all,
So yes, I'm a prat. A massively lucky one. Earlier in the day, I managed to successfully root and upgrade the firmware on my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 to CM9, specifically cm-9.1.0-n7000.zip from the Cyanogenmod website. I got it working, and all was happy, shiny and right with the world.
And then, it all went Pete Tong when I tried to flash gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip on it, which promptly tried to make it go back to the stock firmware, and then it soft-bricked. I managed to recover from this minor boo boo, but I would love to know how I get my Google and Facebook contacts on there... any hints?

Hmmm? I'd start all over.
Is there a reason why youre using CM9? [since CM10.1 is out and pretty stable].
Anyway, the Gapps you installed was meand for Gingerbread [GB] [CM7] and CM9 is based on IceCreamSandwich [ICS].
If you decide to use CM10.1 which is Jellybean [4.2] youll need to use the latest JB based gapps with that.
Anyhow, if you use the proper gapps and sign into your google account on the first boot, itll synchronize with the google server and recover your google contacts. [it probably didnt work because as you said yourself the wrong gapps was installed.]
About facebook: Im not a bookfacer myself but i reckon when you install the facebook app, the contacts will be [MAGICLY] added to your contact list.
Goodluck!

I think if you look around in android development youll find quite some interesting roms.
Most if not all roms are pretty much always under construction; however that does not mean theyre not stable enough to use as a daily driver.
That being said, i myself am quite happy and impressed by Paranoid Android 3, which is based on Android 4.2.2(JB).
Make a backup using cwm recovery and just give it a try.
Goodluck.

I have three questions I was hoping you guys could help me out with in regards to AOSP roms:
1. What is the safest installation method coming from Sense based rom (I see this varies a bit from thread to thread.)
2. After flashing AOSP and wanting to restore a nandroid of Sense are there any special instructions?
3. Highly subjective question: what do you feel is a combination of the most stable and well supported AOSP rom currently out?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I know there are a handful of you guys that can offer some insight. C'mon guys, I'm AOSP phobic. I need some assurance that it's safe to take the plunge.
Sent from my HTC ONE which so far seems like a big downgrade from my Note 2!
1. Click wipe in twrp and swipe. Do not set any custom settings just use default.
2. The only issue is AOSP creates a 0 folder due to the multiple user accounts in 4.2.2. This will mess up your TWRP by hiding backups and new downloads in Sense based roms. Sense downloads things to root/download and if twrp detects a 0 folder it will try amd load everything from 0. This isnt a big deal as you can always copy everything from 0 folder onto root and delete the 0 folder. This will make TWRP read from root of sdcard.
3. Ive always been partial to CM. They seem to be the closest to stock you can get without tweaks and stuff added in.

I haven't been able to get an AOSP-based ROM like CM working on my Sprint One at all yet. If I load any of them I can't wake the screen once the device is locked. I'm still running a stock ROM with a custom kernel until I can figure out what's going on.
Yeah, so far, I haven't found an AOSP ROM worth staying with. They're all somewhat buggy and as mentioned, the 4.1 > 4.2 causes issues. Painful ones.

I wanted to try Slim as well but I couldn't get it to boot. I ended up running out of time to figure it out and went back to Vanilla.

Point of interest, Kyler's Froyo Rom lacks the Cellbroadcastreceiver.apk so I don't know what I'd have to rip for it to work/

Ok, I hear what you're saying, but i'm a little confused. As an end result, what ROM are you trying to use?

I use Nottach as my perma install. It's what I prefer, but I would like to have the Cellbroadcast option installed. I visit some areas where I need to know about tornados, shootings, hurricanes and the like. Plus it would be nice to have just in case.

ok, so with that said, you are looking for a CellBroadcastReciever.apk that is designed for GB (2.3-2.3.7), not for Froyo, ICS, JB, or KK (even if KK isn't available for our device just yet)

Yes one that works on the Atrix 4G because the Nexus ones are for a GB device if I am reading correctly. I've tried just flashing those (Stupid I know) and no result. I've tried swip-swapping some stuff around and Iv'e come to the conclusion I cannot do this myself with just the froyo rom, the apks and nottach to mess with.
Both of those versions (this one and this one) work on JB and above only (one is for 4.1, the other is for 4.2).
As you noticed yourself, Kyler's stock Froyo does not contain it, and I was unable to find a version that works on Froyo. Where did you find one for Froyo?

One of his links takes you to a thread with a few posts. The last post has a download link.
I get that we have a froyo version based off of his searching, and that we do have JB versions based off of experience with epinter's ROMs. I don't know about GB or ICS versions, but he's definitely looking for the GB version.

It was in Kyler's Froyo settings, The APK is not there but the item is in the settings and fully customizable.
Well I'm trying out CM 10.2 right now but having a flashable version could work well if I switch back.
I examined Kyler's Froyo. Sadly it seems this functionality has been hardcoded into Settings.apk and BlurPhone.apk.
Ahhh, it seemed like that when I tore it apart.
I just examined the latest AT&T firmware (2.3.6) and I found the same thing therein. That means the same functionality should exist in the latest official GB as well?
I can't test this myself, I'm running a custom ROM and I don't really want to reflash now, plus to my knowledge none of the networks here offer cell broadcast.
I know florida has it, Due to ya know, all the high emergency weather and dangerous child kidnappers
