Hi, I am new to the new android world and so far loving it over the stupid crackberry I was stuck with for the longest time. I'm fairly certain I've rooted it (unlocked it using these steps, have superuser icon), but now I'm overwhelemed on which android version or rom to stick with and using which mods. I was hoping someone can give some recommendations based on my requirements:
- I need full camera use, twitter and social media is kind of my job, I wish I was kidding (so Im guessing ICS is out of the question, unless you can convince me otherwise)
- Flash support would be nice (I see links to it to the big sticky, but I'm simply stating my requirements and asking what version would be best for it)
- I would love it to be fast and saving battery life.
- I prefer stability over something that seems like theres a lot of work left to do on it
- I will be using it to listen to music once in a while
- I will probably use a lot of apps so ensuring theyre all on the SD card will be cool (on sticky, I know)
I sincerely hope this isn't an annoying post. Seems like I'd be fine with using a variant of 2.3.6 as 2.3.7 didn't seem like it added a lot. Thanks in advance
Try stock based roms
Battery lif way better then on cm
But cm has more speeds

I would say CM7 is for you. Battery life isn't as well as on stock is, but difference is rather small. And you will get speed and great functions
Hey guys I have galaxy w (I bought it 10 or 12 days ago).Don't worry i studied my lesson.I know how to root,flash,install apk etc.
I rooted my phone and installed REM ICS.But i'm not happy with it.Because it has a few problems
In the first place, i want to tell you what i'm looking for.
I just want proper sms app (no mms converting), WORKING gps,menu customization [not by date or title (i'm happy with touchwiz)]
Most important -> goot battery life.That's all folks.
But i can't find a rom that meets my wishes.
Now i'll install rebel rom 3.0.6.
But if you have a recommendation PLEASE let me know.
p.s. : I'm sorry if there are grammar mistakes.Thanks in advance. :good:
CyanogenMod Alpha 8 version should be good to you
but you have the SMS to MMS converter on everyrom (i think) & touchwiz
but normally in options you can adapt it
good batterylife & performance
Or BioHazard has it all (based on cyanogenmod)
just flash the ROM + extra sms file (to get normal sms lay-out) - Biohazard customisation - good batterylife & performance (& touchwiz)
has jellybean 3 features & customisation
EhndroiX is a nice rom based on cyanogenmod
but it has it flaws, batterylife isn't perfect but it's a smooth ROM
it also has touchwiz and Jellybean lay-out
Personally i'm running EhnDroix right now but i'm thinking to switch to cyanogenmod (due to the better batterylife) or biohazard
Now about the GPS function you can use Google Maps / Navigation, you can also download Sygic GPS (look on some forums for a "free" version of it )
then you will have a free offline GPS system with TomTom maps navigation
i hope i helped you out a bit

touchwiz is there on EhndroiX (i'm running it..)
and the camera function is available in alpha 8

Ive been using SGW for a lot of time now, when i had the stock rom i used ADW laucher for the menu. As for the battery life, keep 3G turned off or install JuiceDefender, it turns on 3g every X minutes, instead of keeping it on all the time. It also adjusts the brightness. My battery would last nearly 3 days that way with moderate calling.
Hugs.
Also i wonder if there is something wrong with my original samsung charger.When i charge my phone with its original charger, battery drains quickly (%85 in 2.2 hours).But when i charge it with my friend's htc's charger it downs to %97 in 2 hours.Just weird.

As I know Rebel ROM is not coming with a TW launcher, you may try Black Notes Last Page if you wish, it came with a TW launcher, just for your info, in Black Notes, you would have to reboot your phone after running the 99SuperCharger init.d script, as it may cause you unable to receive your message, but it wouldn't really affect you if you don't run the script. Hope it helps.

Are you using the USB cable as charger? That one will be much slower than the charger. For a decent battery life, I would recommend you to use a GB ROM with Juice Defender at this moment, because the battery life for CM9 may be vary from version to version at this moment.
I use its original charger (mini USB).I installed rebel rom it seems like it's okay.But i'm not sure yet.
Ok it sucks more i know it now.SMS problems,slow browsers,performance sucks
Looking for good battery life? Most of the GB roms provide good battery life. Not so sure with ICS roms, right now. If you don't mind using GB rom, i would recommend you MUTANT ROM, not bad.

If you are looking for an economical premises ROM battery GB ROM only the best in my opinion.
I myself have come back to GB after I felt in CM9 b8 only for reasons of battery.
I myself use kezra v4 final ROM, kernel xxlm8. And what you need everything works fine here.

Also, try upgrading baseband. Older baseband might have bugs that made it too aggressive and/or not smart enough to tune power usage.
Back in the CM9 thread, someone posted that he experienced a great boost in battery life after upgrading baseband.
Word of caution: make sure that the newer baseband is compatible with your country's networks.

Hi Everyone, can anybody tell me how to port CM10 A100 to Iconia A101, coz I always use A100 ROM but I lose my 3G capability?
Thanks Before
Well, I you'd need 3g drivers. Etc maybe drop the 3g apps in? I may not be possible. Might also need source changes.
Sent from a Soviet base in Indiana
I know this thread is older... But to answer your question: it must be built into the source before compile it - just to sum it up. But that's what I want to do.
I planned some projects for A100/101
- build an existing Rom (cm9) with 3g to serve a101 users (cm9 is most stable)
- recovery with dual boot (and run Ubuntu n near android)
- start 4.2 builds
This is lot of work and will take a lot of time, any help appreciated.

Eh. 4.2 was booting just no WiFi and lots of little UI stuff.

How are things progressing? I found the following old info:
pio_masaki said:
It can have 3g just fine, I've asked a few times for the 3g ril files from 101 users wanting me to build for them, they always vanish and I never hear back about it.
A100 just had its rotation for builds last night / this morning so it'll come up again sometime between wed-fri I think. Been looking at updating the black bean build and maybe adding AOKP as well, I'll use them for testbeds. I may go ahead and just do an extra day on the A100 and see about getting a potential 3g build up for you.
Side note, sosei will use gps if you use the newer cm10 boot.img.
Current rotation is:
Nexus 7 holds priority as I've been invited to Team Sorcery as their N7 dev.
Toshiba Thrive 4.2 development, 4.1.2 updates and kernel work (voodoo sound) comes second as they've been extremely generous to me.
Droid DNA aosp porting as the device was pretty much donated
Slight GNex work as needed, rare
A100 is bottom/last as I don't own one, luckily fixes from the thrive usually directly move over to the A100
Other devices I don't own.
I have a few things planned for the A100 for some nice updates and releases to jeep you guys in a variety of ROMs, like AOKP and some updates to the cm9 kernel I use.

Things are going slowly... Too much work in the office. But I set up a working tree some weeks ago for CM9 and a kernel. As soon as I have some more time I'll continue this. I was also busy with a kernel for the moto razr. Once I had a whole team, but now I'm alone... Will take time.

sorry for revived such an old thread,
i've managed to port cm10 to iconia a101, 3g and other is working properly.
but it still got a couple of bug,just wanna know if there someone here who could help me fix some bug left (let's say like gps) :fingers-crossed:
What is your base and port ROM that you used? ie what CM10 rom did you use or did you build from source? What kernel did you use?
Also you need to be more specific on the issues that you have, as well as logcats otherwise there is nothing any of us can do.
I port the rom for a500 from tegra owner forum and using gm kernel with it,
So far bug that i noticed just the gps and flash,
The gps won't start, in the gps log it mention something wrong with the hal configuration
And i noticed that the file in /dev/bus/usb/002 doesn't exist which were the configuration was set to look.
I'll explain more specific and take a logcat tomorrow,it's already 2 am here got to work in the morning,
Thanks btw for your reply
Edit: for the base i mainly using your rom,and take some other part from some different rom
here the logcat and gps log when i tried to used gps.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Your logcat is also indicating that you don't have 3g connectivity. I'm pretty sure the GM kernel does not have 3G support so no matter what you do and try to get working on this build, you won't have 3g connectivity. The first step to getting it to work is to find a kernel that has 3g activated on it.

A stock a101 ICS kernel should function well enough for testing this in 4.1.

3g was working just fine, i've tried with several kernel including stock ics,
I'm interested in helping out fauntelroy, was going to start porting a rom, but there seems little point in re-inventing the wheel.
No idea if you're still working on it though, let me know, thanks!
Need help picking a ROM. Right now I have the AT&T GS3 JB Stock Rooted. I am looking to try something new to make the most of this awesome phone. There are a few features that I can't live without. I am having trouble identifying which ROMs support all of these features. Most seem to support some, but I can't confirm with support all. I am hoping that people that have tried these can confirm.
MUST HAVE FEATURES:
NFC + Google Wallet (I have this working now via the Google Wallet fix)
A2DP Streaming
Tethering (I have this working now via AT&T paid legit)
Camera
Wifi and LTE (4G speed)
GPS
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IN THE ROM:
Stability!!!
Great Battery Life
Pure Interface Minus TW
Premium Suite (This is a plus, though not essential)
Fast, Responsive UI
Any Eye Candy is a Bonus
Thanks in advance for any help!
Task aokp has all that and so much more. Give it a try, you won't regret it.
I've tried every single rom and I keep going back to this rom.

If you know what you want your just being lazy. Go read the romss your self buddy. However if you want my advise which you did ask for .
Rootbox and Jellybam have the most to offer. There not perfect but bolth simular.. of the two root box is updated Often but minor updates. (nightlys) so expect be flashing a lot.
Jellybam is updated once in awhile (*might be more to your taste*) dunno depends what you like bro
if want something more normal get Cm10
Hello,
I've got recently this phone and I kind of like it. The only reason was the qwerty keyboard.
The biggest problem I have with this phone is the sound. Every messenger app (skype, yahoo, viber etc) has the same problem. The receiving sound is slow and ununderstandable.
The current ROM installed CM 10.1 Kernel 3.1.10 android 4.2.2
I am a newbie in installing ROMs, but if I could I'd go straight to android 2.3.5
CM 10.1 is very laggy, with lots of problems (missing calls, GPS connectivity, maps, performance etc).
Anyone had this problem and solved it?
Thank you
P.s. I searched in the forum about this issue, but didn't have much luck.
Whos CM 10.1 are you using? Also CM 10.1 is no longer being updated,I suggest you use CM 10.2 by Bubor or a 4.3+ ROM
If you need more help please post back
The sound issue is with voice recording, any action with VoIP, dictaphone, voice dialing etc. will make sound playback distorted for some time. This issue exist in any ROM after stock ICS, so if this is very important for you, you'd better stay with stock. Here's the link: Stock UCLJ3.
If you wish a newer ROM, such as CM 10.1.3 or CM 11, there is workaround with VoIP sound called Tinyalsa stack, but it broke GSM call receiving sound. You can look here.
Also, I should say that CM 10.1.3 and CM 11 I linked have almost no issues beside this VoIP. GPS working great, no missing calls, no reboots, great performance and no battery draining. But I recommend to try and find what will suit you best.

Hello,
Yes I use skype calling a lot, I need this feature working. So you are suggesting me to install the android 4 stock version from samsung, but from what I red, there is an issue with the qwerty keyboard light. If this is true, it confirms my first idea to go with android 2.3.5
Thank you for your replies!
Samsung fixed the keyboard issue and a lot of other stuff in their 2nd release of stock ice. If you see those types of complaints, they are from the first revision.
I'm running stock and the only two issues I have is general UI laggieness (which is expected since its stock with bloat and not really optimized, also running on an older phone with no project butter). Along with messaging notifications failing to make any noise at random. I'll get a new text message and the screen will light up, but doesn't viberate or make a sound at random. Incoming calls still ring just fine though.
Other than those two issues (lag really isn't an issue for me), stock works just fine for me.

Yes, I recommend to install stock 4.0.4, it's the best way I know to have working GSM and Skype calling at the same time without needing to switch alsas stacks. j.asir here using new CM with tinyalsa fix and terminal shortcut - that's a bit inconvenient, but at this time there's no better way to go if you wish to have newest android and skype calls.
I newer tried 2.3.5 ROM on this phone, so I can't comment anything about it. If you try vanilla 2.3.5, please write about the results!

Hi @Makshow, have you considered using a 2.3.5 ROM? I have considered the possibility of doing so as I've heard that our device running GB has no issues at all... or so I've heard, but I honestly haven't had the time to test it. I was considering the possibility of using Inception (Back in black), but the download links are not available. If my Glide would work smooth and with no issues with GB I'd be glad to use it. If you decide to go for a GB ROM could you please provide me with some feedback? I would really appreciate it if you do so. I am not so cool with using ICS as stock is very battery & RAM consuming. And I was not so convinced using Litekernel or literom. Literom is really cool, but it has some issues and glitches that I found very disturbing. If you do go for GB please provide me with some feedback :highfive: Regards
I got this phone with new ROM already installed, so I won't try flashing 2.3.5 GB Android, I have no experience with this at all. Sorry. And I doubt that there weren't any issue with GB, one can search older posts in these forums and see that there were many bugs and bloat and troubles.
As for working download link for INC3PTION 2.3.5 ROM, there is one from Androide3 here. You can try it.

its a third party app which you can use.. its very easy to use and one time setup only
just get any kitkat rom..
its stable and only stops working if the app gets killed but otherwise i have tested it extesively
try it out and i would suggest omnirom to you if u prefer simplicity.

Finally I did it!
Finally I did it!
Ok, it was very easy and I feel kind of stupid :laugh: but as for the first time I'm still proud.
The major problem I couldn't install the stock rom was because of twrp. I had a old version, 2.4 I believe.
I managed to over install cwm v 6.whatever which was compatible with i927 and re-tried to install the stock rom and IT WORKED!
The stock rom is great! the phone is much much much quicker than with cm10.2. All features work! skype calls, voice recording, map, camera rotation, etc. Will see if I will lose any missed call.
The problem, I'm facing now is the sd card and internal memory which were inverted during cm10.2, but I am sorting things out.
I'm a bit disappointed that I lost all the installed apps with cm10.2. and I can not re-install them again. I have only the option to update it which won't work. Any idea?
