I'm using recently bought un-rooted Galaxy Gio (S5660XXKQ5) with stock 2.3.4 ROM. The reception has been pretty bad right from the start and few days ago I read that the reason for that might be the modem of my current stock ROM.
The question is - can I just flash new modem via Odin without rooting the phone and installing custom ROM? Is there a collection of S5660 modems somewhere?
HI !!!
Hi!
same new member here...
this analogy maybe ll help you...
which one do you think is greater, the brand new car that hasn't been modified or the modified car that its components, including engine, brake, and body has been modified into the best one???...
when you play NFS or GT sure you ll upgrade your car components, right?
same like the custom rom compared to the stock...
even the stock has a lot of problems..
here mine when i bought, i got nothing special with my gio with 2.2.1 stock FW
even the galaxy mini is better comparing to gio with the stock in GPS test
so u better root you phone, without being care about the MOdulator-DEModulator stuff and going to new custom rom
there are a lot of Best rom in the Android Development forum like the one created by phiexz, search yourself
to have custom rom sure you have to root your device, and don't think it's complicated that you should get other's help
u can do yourself
1.)search the root tutorial based on your current rom (when i first root my phone i used superoneclick, but if it's kinda complicated, seach another way)
2.)then install Clockworkmod Recovery, download in the market or else by the name ROM Manager (or the customized CWM)
3.)download the rom (complete components, if existed)
4.)flash the rom by rebooting into recovery... (don't care about rooting again, u ll find most of the rom will be automatically rooted with new CWM, and a2sd enabler)
5.)short tutorial above depends on the rom you ll be flashed
i'm a bit being advisor, hope u dont mind...
I know all the advantages of having a custom ROM but this time I'm really interested in replacing my modem to get better reception. Could it be done?

Hi frendz.
Today i got my defy which has froyo 2.2..
I am already loving it..
Unfortunately it has green lens.
My battery lasts for only 1 day on this stock rom..
For example say battery is fully charged and i start watching movies say 2 hr movie
i can continuously watch on 2 movies..brightness is set to 60%.
so i wanted install custom rom which has better battery backup.I went through the forums OMG!!! so many custom roms??..Which is better with least bugs please tell me..I have few questions please answer ..
1)How to install custom rom from scratch.
2)I want downgrade option to stock rom which i have now for warranty reasons.
3)Links for cm7 rom which is best with least bugs and best battery backup..Coz i see cynogenmod defy device database has no links in it.
4)Can i upgrade to gingerbread custom rom without flashing gingerbread official rom and can i again comeback to stock rom if something goes bad for warranty claiming??
5)Is miui rom best than cm7..And if so then which version..
Please help frendz...
Thanks for everyone..
1. You need to root your phone first before you can install a custom rom. Look for Superoneclick. Once you have done this you need to either install derfy2ndInit from the market or downloaqd RSDLite 4.9 to your computer.
2. To downgrade to stock rom you will need to use RSDLite with SBF JRDNEM_U3_3.42_117-002. This will return you defy back to 2.1 then use the motorola upgrader to 2.2. Your defy will be unrooted and back to stock.
3. Never tried CM7.
4. There is no Gingerbread stock rom. You can upgrade and come back again as in answer two.
5. I have always used MIUI and the latest version is 1.9.2. There is a built in updater and the rom is updated every Friday 11.00 BST. The choice of roms is always down to the individual depending on what you want from it, as I have only used MIUI I am not in a position to make judgement.
I hope this gives you pointer in the right direction but please have a good look through the forums as most if not all your questions will be answered.
Hi Guys
I have my Galaxy Y for about 4 month now and I would like to test some new rom's.
I’m totally new on this section and have some questions about backing up roms etc.
Fist my specifications if it helps:
rooted android 2.3.5. Due to my provider (T-Mobile) im not able to flash a newer firmware thru kies atm.
PDA: BOKJ1
PHONE: BOKI3
CSC: DTRKJ2
How I make a backup from my firmware? I will test new Roms and I eventually will go back to my stock rom to get updates thru kies. I often read about clockwork mod and also I often read that cwm is not full compatible with SGY. Which version will work? Or is there another way to make a backup?
Which rom is atm the best?
I’m looking for some more performance, features and eventually a little better look and feel.
I cast an eye at Creeds rom but I heard that he is not developing it any more.. too bad...
atm this is the rom I would prefer.
Is there any other rom that is better than this? The hybrid rom looks so.. hmm I don’t know.. I think its not my cup of tea.. but maybe I give it a try
Or should I just flash a newer 2.3.6 stock rom on my device? In this case which one? There are so many and I have no clue which are the newest and which are fit my needs. I live in Germany so can I simple flash any other country firmware like India etc? Whats about the language of the menu?
Thanks for Ur help and I have to say sorry... English is not my mother language so plz don’t bash me if I spelt something wrong
First off, welcome to XDA Developers, bro.
I would suggest upgrading your firmware to 2.3.6 first. Check out Doky73's thread and I'm sure you will be able to find the latest European firmware there.
For backing up your current firmware, grab a copy of skin's CWM scattered all over the threads in the Development Section.
devsss plzz port sony xperia's rom to samsung galaxy y...timescape UI and itz widgets lookkkk cooll on galaxy y than touch wiz.......!!!

I have done that and I have no clue which are the best... thats all personal opinions. Nobody really says a thing over performance, memory usage etc..
I have read about 35-40 sites in the creeds rom thread and I give it a try but is scares me that its not developt anymore and that some people say that 2.1 is buggy.

Hello everyone!
I am planing to root my htc desire hd cause i've read lots of stunning stuff you can do when your phone is rooted.
like using the newest version of android, installing google now and so on..
But my question is, is it possible to stay with my stock firmware (and if possible stock kernel?) somehow
and use one or more custom firmwares with programs like boot manager to find one for daily use?
and what are the disadvantages of using a custom kernel? cause i've read the following, looking through your forums:
In the present case,It is hard to say which kernel is good .All unofficial kernel have the same headphone button issue,and only 5 sensors(DHD have 7 sensors).

If you use AAHK (no idea about HTCDEV method) you can simply do a full image backup of your stock firmware, including your kernel (this is called a nandroid backup), after you've rooted but before you flash a custom ROM. Then, wipe and flash custom firmwares to your heart's content. If you ever want stock back, just restore that backup. I'm not aware of a dual boot manager, though.
Usually, the kernel that came with the firmware (aka ROM) is the best kernel. Devs will post about alternate kernels that are compatible with their ROMs. (Note that if you're planning to use the latest version of Android, Jelly Bean, there is a compatible alternate kernel.)
No idea about those sensors.

Yes u can boot multiple roms using boot manager i hv seen it work but i hvnt been able to do it myself or u can say i was less intrested to pay attention. But the answer is yes u can. Head on to the boot manager in play store it gives u all the info u need to get u phone run two or more roms at the same time.
P.S: Speaking of which i think i might give it another go again but this time with interest.

This seems like a question I should be able to find an answer to myself, but I have searched all throughout the N7100 forum and can't seem to find my answer.
I have the Galaxy Note II International Version (GT-N7100). I rooted it with the Samsung Galaxy Note2 Toolkit
When I rooted, I had version 4.1.1 of android. It didn't get any OTA updates since it was rooted. I would like version 4.1.2 so I can run the Samsung Multi WIndow Manager so that I can use any app in the MultiWIndow mode.
What's the best way to do this? I tried flashing a stock rom, but I got stuck when I was required to download a stock ROM. I'm in the United States, but I don't see any region with United States so I don't know which I should get.
Sooo... Is this the proper way to update the Samsung rom if I had it rooted? Is there a better way?
What rom is best to use? Which region do I need for the U.S.? I mainly want to use the multi-window support and my understanding is that I must use a Samsung rom for that. I believe that was true when I first researched it. Is it still true today?
Thanks!
Maybe I'm being dense but did you also unlock your phone and install a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP?)
If so, you should be able to download a rom for your phone, install and enjoy the fruits of your labors. Look for roms that are based on TouchWiz and you should retain the samsung features you want. AOSP roms are base android and will not have those samsung customizations.
I don't know what "region" has to do with it though, just pick a rom that's compatible with N-7100

Thanks for the response, TrojanDroid. If region doesn't matter and I can install any TouchWiz based rom then that makes me very happy. I've used mods on other phones in the past and never had to worry about region.
Yes, I used the toolkit to install TWRP, Busybox, and Root the phone. The reason I asked about region is because I figured the easiest way to upgrade to 4.1.2 or higher would be to flash the newer stock rom. This is the webpage with an extremely large list of stock roms that the tool left me with though, which is where my question came from: http samsung-updates .com /device/ ?id=GT-N7100 (I can't post links yet)
I use the Samsung Multi Window and S-Pen features often. Is it accurate to say that as long as a rom is TouchWiz based, I will still be able to fully take advantage of those features?
You should update to any latest rom, bcoz 4.1.1 having sudden death bug and your device can be brick suddenly without a reason.
Anyway 4.1.2 stock rom itself having Multiwindow but to use any application in Multiwindow you will need to have moved version.
You can achieve it with xposed module (is simply needs rooted device +two simple apk to install)
Now what I recommend
1.You already have rooted device with cwm then make efs backup (can use Multitool from my signature for that)
2 . update latest rom (like mg1 is good in my point of view) with odin.
3.again you can use Multitool to root device.
4 . find xposed module and framework for Multiwindow mod to use any application in mw
OR
Find AnyMod from my signature and enjoy many extra features on your stock rom.
Goodluck

Thanks for the input. I have now successfully installed Thunder Lite and it seems to fit my requirements. I may investigate and play around with a few other roms in the future as well, since now I know that any Samsung based rom should work for me.
Thanks!

Hello Sir,
i have installed liquidsmooth lollipop 5.0 on Samsung sgh i747 but there are some problems in camera does not work so i want to change it but i don't want the custom rom.. I want the original one but unable to find it every link goes to some custom rom & i dont want them...i want the original one.........can i change the cynogenmod recovery to stock recovery.........
Reverting to stock recovery will not fix the camera problem.
What bootloader is on your phone? Don't flash anything until you confirm this because flashing the wrong ROM could brick your phone.

You'll have to be a bit more precise, what device do you have exactly? What bootloaders? And what was your exact flashing process?
Like Audit mentioned, it's not a recovery problem. Most likely flashed something that wasn't for your device or your device wasn't updated for (like bootloaders) but could also just be a problem with the ROM or a dirty flash.

Are you wanting a stock rom and stock recovery? Or, just the stock (original) recovery?
What you do depends on your answer to Audit13's question about your current bootloader and modem.
Lollipop ROMs as a group have had camera and video issues. Some third party camera apps have been working for two months. Following some CyanogenMod threads has had the stock camera intermittently working and then not working on subsequent updates for the past several weeks. Yesterday I read that the source of the problem was found in AOSP code. Supposedly camera issues will be fixed with the next update.
