[Noob Time] Why FLash To CM 10.1 ? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good Evening Dudes
I'm just introduced on this section and it's first time than i ve had a stuff like this awesome samsung
Smooth Fast Strong And God ! it's the beautifull customisable stock rom (it's really beautifull to compare with htc stock rom)
well the question is not here and the target also
i've never had the oppotunitities to try a CM 10.1 on any device Htc desire x hasnt official CM and not possible to port CM10.1 cauz Htc doesnt provide the kernel source.... damn
(it's was juste for put in situation)
What's the real interest -Gain can i expect with the CM10.1 on the Galaxy S4 ?
Whith this rom it's sound interesting to put a custom kernel also.
what can we do with cm 10.1 than we cannot with a stock rom ?
Yeah a know , i can make a backup on my stock rom , flash the cm 10.1 try and if doesnt like it restore to the backuped stock.
Thanks for your time
If you had any other suggestion better than the CM 10.1 (i know it s on nightlies sound like equal as alpha but
topic is open :s

Well the Stock ROM is pretty much as bloated as a whale. CM is only 200MB in size, so first of all it will save space on your internal memory. Second of all, you won't have a lot of processes running in the background like you do now, your phone will be a LOT more responsive. Ofcourse, as with any custom ROM, there will be some bugs and those ROMs will need testing and updates (that's why nightlies exist). But eventually there will be stable versions and imo, it'll beat the stock any day. On the other hand, the stock ROM has some functions like the IR blaster, the smart-pause, smart-scroll and hover function, etc. If you're a big fan of those things, stick with your Stock ROM. But if you would like to a clean, simple, bloat free and faster experience than you have now, a custom ROM is a great way to achieve it. But that's not the only thing ofcourse, CM also has some extra functions and customization options you won't find in your stock ROM, you can tweak your system quite a lot and there are some things I couldn't live without (for example swapping your menu key for your recent apps switcher, and putting the menu function on the long press ).

Thanks a lot
Sound really interesting
CM 10.1 it's more in touch with i'm looking for
The actual build of CM 10.1 can be used on a basic day usage ? or it's better to wait a few days ?
If i flash the cm now ? need also to flash another kernel or just flash the zip by philw touch recovery ?
can i come back to my stock backuped rom after if i want ? with the restore function of philz touch recovery ?

I'm using Philz Recovery too and yes you can flash CM10.1 from there (I have the latest build from June 12th on it). Before you flash, make your sure you wipe/factory reset your phone in Philz Recovery. You might also need to flash the CM10.1 rom 2 or 3 times (the second time it usually works), on the first try it always gives a Status 7 error (don't worry). Look at the thread for the Offical CM10.1 Nightlies, there's a lot information there!
It's working pretty good for me, I haven't found any major bugs so far. Just make sure you make a Nandroid backup in Philz Recovery first (and store it your external SD card for safety and to save space ofcourse ). You can always return to that backup through the restore function in Philz Recovery yes.
Also, if you update your CM10.1 with a new nightly build (for example next week, or next month), do it manually and flash it in the recovery each time. Updating it from the Settings->About->Cyanogenmod Updates menu bricked my phone today, so I guess there is still a bug there. Besides that, there are no issues what so ever according to me.
PS: You're from Liege? I'm from Genk

last question before the first try
With the original Cm we need to flash gapps separately or it's inside the rom ?
If external suppose to take the last release on goo

If I remember correctly you need to flash it separately
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

Try This one -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296266

Yeah after flash the rom 4 times finally she install correctly ( 3 times error7 but no affraid)
Ui is clear, phone running smooth and very well no issue with wifi or 3g
The first bug i ve seen was about the carrier name -- the carrier name is showed like an id on a database (think the code for showed the cells with carrier name is not correct)
For the rest no speciq issue detected
Thanks a lot for your help
PS : i ve also find a answer to one of my question
when use cm you must flsah the gapps separately and link is coming on cyanogen page.
I ve read also than the build for the S4 T-mobile seems to work fine on this phone more bugs corrected on it ?
No trying BT for the moment cauz i dont had BT device
@disturbed : i ll try the rom linked this evening . Thanks a lot

DroniX

Hi
im new to android ..
i own a ideos u8150.........and i have rooted it with z4 root
I also have managed to install clock world mod 3.0.2.4 i flashed it through pc (works perfectly)
now i want to change my stock rom ..i' heard ideos HD and droniX are good roms
i'd like to install droniX 0.6 raw ginger ..
but can anyone help me in flashing the rom i need a guide..
also how can i make full backups so i can revert to my stock rom anytime i want..
Does switching to custom roms affect baseband of my mobile ..
because of a picture i saw in a blog that says "baseband version :unknown" in mobile settings .
i have been a apple user and to jailbreak you need to preserve your basebands so is there anything like that in android
i have also read that after flashing dorinX .6 many see a black screen ..how can i prevent that..
i've also installed rom mangaer free version from market but its useless because everytime press any option it tells me to install colckworld mod and when i press install a list of phones comes up but u8150 is not in the list only 7 options.......
Thankyou
You won't get much love here as this is in the wrong forum, but here is a link to my rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375289
You dont need to use my rom, it just has flashing instructions in the first post.
*Good luck with ginger, it is still not stable, so maybe stick with 0.5.4.
*Baseband is not changed by flashing roms in CWM, only by official huawei update software, find a copy of yours before flashing if you can.
*CWM has the option to make a NAND backup under backup and restore.
*Dronix is good, Leandroidmod is ok, Ideos HD seems to be deprecated as I had bugs which I reported and have not been fixed so I switched roms. Has not had an update in months.
Here is the wiki page for u8150, have fun:

Ill be straight to the point.. most of us have been using cm9 which is ics 4.0.0 since august 2012,each week, well sometimes every two weeks, since they are missing weeks. Cm9 is a nightly, which means there are bugs and issues, since teh rom is not stable. However, most of the problems have been fix and I have had not had any real issues with it, I do use it day to day, till a new custom rom (based off a previous cm9 nightly release) comes out that I want to try. but the roms has come a long way since build 1.
If something went wrong? like you bricked your phone. There is two ways.. create a back up in cwm before you flash cm9... or you can used kdz, which is used to recovery your phone if your brick it or you want to upgrade or download your firmware.
Also please give me more info about your phone. Like what baseband you are using, what country etc.
Also there are some stock custom roms, which are modified version of stock (2.3.6). With features like 1000 GHz overclock,new launcher,file manager and other useful tweaks/mods

. Are you taking about using the SDMerg Mod to increased your memory? I dont have a problem with it, I can transfer video,music and images to my phone... as well as apk files.

Upgrade to the latest firmware using the Lg firmware site. Also make sure you do a back up when you install cmw, before you flash cm9. Also you might want to download the 1GHz Kernel, even if you dont plan to overclock, it will get rid of the battery bug on start up.

[Q] Where to find AOSP/CM ROM for Xiaomi Note 4G dualSIM (aka GUCCI)?

Hi,
any Idea where to find AOSP/CM ROM for Xiaomi Note 4G dualSIM (aka GUCCI)? Many ROMs here are specifically saying they are for singleSIM (aka DIOR). And others dont specify at all. I tried asking in a few threads (in about three) and Im still awaiting response, but I still want to ask here .
Any ideas, please? I would like larger phone, larger battery and dualsim but I dislike MIUI ... Thanks for any response!
PS: I found this AOSP ROM which I would like to use but first I need to know if it is for dualSIM or not:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note/general/aosp-rom-4-4-4-redmi-note-4g-t2984542
http://redminotezone.blogspot.cz/20...sp-mooke-kitkat-444-for-redmi-note-LTE4G.html
i need to for this rom. thx
Search for gucci
Hi,
i thing its not for this device. You need to search for (phone code name) gucci, not dior! I am looking for this right now. There is cwm, but in Chinese. I found englisth cwm, but i need to test it. CM12 rom is here from this forum.
The mobile data on that CM12 rom doesn't work.
I only have one SIM but I tested on both slots and was not able to get data to work at all.
The only CM rom that I have had any mileage with is the CM11 rom by Ghostly Doctor
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636001100
There's a bit of crapware in the rom but you can open the zip and delete the apk's before flashing.
The only other issue that I have encountered after ~2 weeks of use is that the mobile data periodically disconnects and reconnects, this would normally be a deal breaker but I just cannot hack imitation iOS on the official roms to go back.

[ROM] [WIP] [P600] [TW 5.0.2] [help needed] Iron ROM port for Galaxy Note 10.1 2014

In this Thread I will port the Iron Rom from the Tab S to our Note 2014
Thanks to Tkkg1994 for making the awsome Iron Rom and xluco for the Kernel
Just to be clear: I didn't developed the Iron Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/prerooted-stock-touchwiz-rom-t2973107) nor the xluco Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2725193. I just put them together.
Ok, first how you install the Iron Rom: Download the Iron Rom for the T800 and the xluco Kernel for SM-P600 first and put them on external SD Card. After that go into Recovery and wipe EVERYTHING exept external storage. Maby you can also wipe system only but i highly recommend yout to wipe everything. Install now the Iron Rom and DO NOT CHECK REBOOT AFTER THE IRON ROM INSTALLATION, when it has finished, install the xluco kernel. Than do a Reboot. for me, the Rom took some time to boot, and often did some random reboots. when you see the assistant, you have to be very fast, dont configure anything, as I already said before, it will very likely crash after some time.
So, now why I opned this Thread: I'm not a developer, so I cannot do this by myself. Hope I will get some help, I know everybody is waiting for a Lollipop Custom Rom
good point mate ... Maybe I'm going to give other CRs of that a Try ... have you tried that with other Custom ROMs like AOSP ones or others ?
Yes, I did. In the past I could get a KitKat Rom from our big brother P900 running on my device using the same method as I used here.

@wulkanat @hitman1376 were either of you able to get this ROM running on your device? If so, which build did you use? I've tried at least a dozen different configurations via Aroma Installer on both the 2.4.5 and 2.5 builds, but the SystemUI crashes on me within seconds of booting up every time.

To be honest , I didn't try it out ... but , as the devices have so many things in common , it wasn't so odd ... but , does it happen the same on the MM ROM ?

You would think so. A couple years ago, it seemed like most apps/features were interchangeable between the Note 2014, Note Pro, Tab Pro, and Tab S on Kitkat. I distinctly remember my go-to ROM was originally designed for the Note Pro.
As far as IronROM V3.0 (MM) goes, the Aroma installer detected my device right away and put the kibosh on that experiment... not that it would have worked anyway seeing as how we don't have a 6.0.1 kernel... I was just hoping to get enough of the ROM installed so I could use TWRP's file manage to extract the files I want while still in recovery.
Anyway, now that my Note7 will be stuck with a non-rootable, unsupported, firmware for eternity; I figured it'd be fun to grab my old SM-P600 and see what havoc I can wreak on it.

Well , if you just want to play around , you can try out the stock Lollipop with my Prime Kernel and get better Performance and Battery or even CM13 / CM14 ... about the aroma , you can disable the device verification ... also I guess you can force the TW MM boot with Lollipop Kernel like it boots CM13 and CM14 ( I don't mean booting without any problems and also don't forget T-805's MM Kernels !! ) the Biggest problem is that we don't have a MM Bootloader which is the biggest problem ... anyway , this device is still so powerful to play newest games and OSs ... It's not fair to abandon it :laugh: ... You know ? I had a very busy day and I have been awake since around 6 AM when I woke for salat till now which is 12:41 AM :crying: !! so , My brain doesn't have any more juice and I need to get some sleep ... I hope you like my kernel ( esp. In case you'd like to test it out :laugh: ) ... I Updated it just some minutes ago

Xiaomi Redmi 2 2014811 Best Rom?

I am currently on MIUI 7, the one just before it updates to MIUI 8. What I want to know is, what is the best possible custom rom I can flash to that will work with this device? I have Team Win Recovery 3.0.0.0 installed.
I have installed Redmi 2 2014811 for my casual user (no root or else) with this base rom : miui_HM2XWCProGlobal_V8.0.7.0.LHJMIDG_3240991baf_5.1.zip via CWM

Major issues?which ROM r u talking about?there are so many ROMs those are pretty stable.Only minor bugs(miui also have this)
BTW devs work very hard for these ROMs and they got nothing but our thanks and encouragement. These custom ROMs are way better in performance and customization than sluggish and heavy MIUI rom.
My phone is 8months old and this phone is still with me because of efforts of devs.
So don't be so demanding about 200% no bug and be thankful to them.

Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful. I worked on Windows Mobile roms back in the day so know what type of work goes into it. I have only started to look at custom roms today and am so completely lost, guess I chose the wrong word being major. When i said major I had camera and Gps in mind, as I saw some of those roms had issues with those. So again, no disrespect meant from my side and I apologize if It came out that way. I was just kind of hoping someone could bump me in the right direction. The last time this phone was flashed the previous owner flashed it in such a way that the sim card could not be detected, after fixing that I flashed a MIUI rom, but that was sort of the Chinese version and stuff like google services did not work properly and push notifications would not work unless you turn the phone on and go into the app. So yeah if you can point me in the right direction I will appreciate it a lot.

Video recording was a issue for Nougat based ROM but it has been fixed.And about gps, it is working fine (i like to use waze)with Marshmallow based ROM.I don't know about nougat as I didn't fully moved to nougat.I have downloaded Tesla (N) and sodamod(cm 14) today .So I will report you soon about GPS in Nougat.
Till now I have tried cm(M),RR(M),DU(M),Tesla(M),orion(M),zephyre(M),AICP(M),AOKP(M).Most of them has kept my expectation.Now I am on project-x(M).It is also suberb with almost no problem.
If you want to stick with miui based then there is also"thunder-miui" by @gkalen.
Try these ROMs and see which is suitable for you.I like to stick with cm based for C.M.T.E.
Edit:-GPS works fine in nougat.
Lollipop (5.x) - CM 12.1
Marshmallow (6.x) - MoKee
Nougat (7.x) - I only tested Suda not good for daily driver
