have not come across any roms with tablet mode but if you want a good rom with great battery life is either the one by Team PKMN or Villain Rom. but seriously though it is about how you use your phone and how you set it up and what kernel you use...not the rom specifically...i go for the normal sense roms but people have said that if you use a no-sense version rom your battery gets improved
thanks for reply
Hey,
Thanks for reply, I guess I gotta wait for tablet mode. Hehe.
See I had galaxy note before and I had tablet mode and ics stunner.
I'm gonna look at those roms you suggested and see which I like better, I reckon I may be better with a Rom without sense, I'm not really using the integration side of it anyway.
Thanks holy80 for reply

download the boot.img of the rom of your choice for to your pc.
then enter your phone in bootloader. make sure the phone is connected to the pc.
enter bootloader mode and go into fastboot.
then command window and enter this command"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
once it says ok then come out and go into recovery
make sure you do clean wipe
flash rom
reboot
enjoy
make sure you make a backup first. then make sure you have the rom file on your phone and the boot.img of the rom on your pc. follow my steps and you should be fine
hehe think you owe me few thanks
just messing if you need anything else just let me know mate
now i truly am lost
Right I proper get what I'm doing the flash boot IMG is the kernel, great I get that now. I don't know if I'm nuts but I really like domination or cm9 and ....... I think it has tablet mode so I'm excited.
I miss my galaxy note, the screen on this phone is just to in ny face I'm hoping tablet mode will sort that
Soz for late reply.

Humm,
This ROM seems not to be stable for the moment.
There is the PARANOIDANDROID EndeavorU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727657) with tablet mode also, but seems not to be stable too!
I tested the PARANOIDANDROID on my HD2 wich is really a great ROM, but nothing ready for my new HTC One X.

dose such a ROM exist?
I did the service mode check and it seems i cant unlock the bootloader.
Ive also tried using flashtool, but i always get a "device not in debugging mode" message, even though the box is ticked.
currently running stock 4.1.2, but the phone is still a bit sluggish after a while...was hoping a nice new ROM would make it a bit snappier, but struggling here!
Any advice is welcome

Yes, there are such roms. Search development forums for [LB] mark in thread title or read description. Roms that can be flashed on locked bootloaders are based on stock roms.

Im on a locked bootloader and im using it.. If u need any help pm me
Basically 95% of stock based ROMs (Trinity and eXistenZ being the most famous, and the later my favorite) works on locked bootloader.
GUYS! Thank you all!
I didnt understand the [UB] prefix, now I get it!
So...how do these perform against the stock ROM? Is there a genuine difference? I used to instal custom ROMs just to be a rebel, but the mrs is complaining that her phone is slow etc so I want to make it good for her
Thanks again!

LOL I made a mistake up there. You need to look for [LB] as in Locked Bootloader, not [UB]. I just realised that. LOL what a stupid typo.
Want an advice ? From one LB to another.... Check my Signature!
That is the best ROM for Locked Bootloaders!!!
Hi nrdl,
I took your advice, looks like a really good ROM! But I'm struggling to get root, never mind even install it!

Welcome to XDA my friend!! Alright first off themes and ROMs are two completely different things. Themes are just skins you can swap in and out on your phone without changing any software. ROMs replace phone software with newer versions. If you would like to get a theme I suggest downloading this app called Themer by MyColorScreen. For ROMs you will need a custom recovery like ClockworkMod or TWRP. I am currently using CWM (ClockworkMod). Using the CWM recovery you can "flash" roms (basically installing them). I am currently running 4.4 QuantumROM by PwnCakes. It is beautiful!! If you would like to theme go with the Themer app but if you wanna go further than just reply here!!

If you want to start out with themes go to the Play Store and ckeck out Colbalt themes by dustinb. They come in many colors for cm 9 & 10. I also liked killer blue, has nice graphics. If you are going to flash roms use the CWM recovery. Not as pretty as TWP but TWP is not compatable with 4.4. Also i am currenty favor the PAC man rom. Nice, fast and stable. It is a 4.3 rom. I have tried a few 4.4 roms but a little unstable for a daily driver. Also.if you start with the PAC rom it is a hybrid and has several varieties built in and has tons of options to play with.
Thank you both for the help. I will probably just start out with different themes until I understand ROMs a little more. :good:
Rooted Need to get CWM
Hi everyone,
Complete Noob here. Just rooted my I747-M AFTER getting 4.3 OTA using Mr. Robinson's root method! Don't know what to do after this step.
How do I get CWM? Can I flash it through Odin?
Also is it possible for me to get CM 11? I really don't like the Samsung OS.

Hey there, first off you are on 4.3 OTA. So if anything goes wrong you may not be able to revert back to stock, it comes down to your bootloaders. Also go on over and check out QuantumRom by PwnCakes. It is 4.4 and is just beautiful. To get CWM go to the play store and download the cwm recovery app.
Thanks for the Response

Hey,
Thanks for replying. So I can't get the Recovery App because it does not support my phone (AT&T). So I ended up using terminal and the .img file to get CWM onto my phone. So is it possible to get CM 10.2 then?
Will a release come out later allowing me to revert to stock? In the meantime can you walk me through CM?
Thanks so much from this hopeless noob.
First off, welcome to XDA. Like everyone else has said, Quantum is the way to go. For good themes, Mianogen and Gem Flat are my favorite. There's a free version of Mianogen and a paid, and for Gem Flat, it's $1.88, but well worth it. If you wanna give it a shot, custom icon packs are also really nice. Mianogen comes with its own icons, but hands down, Nox by Kovdev is the best with 1000s of really nice icons.

The app for CWM is called ROM Manager, for now, I don't know about the 4.3 update since I've been on Quantum for a few months. What would you like to know about CM? Its the easiest ROM to learn to use and is close to vanilla, while still being useful.

This post makes absolutely no sense. First you mention themes for a custom rom, which the op and question at hand obviously have no experience with. Secondly blindly stating that TWRP doesn't work with 4.4 is beyond ridiculous seeing as I just flashed Beanstalk 4.4 today just fine with TWRP 2.6.1.1. It is wonderful that you are trying to help someone with a problem or question, but i makes me sick when people casually throw out advice without any regard to the issue at hand or the ramifications of their words.

I Somewhat agree, IIRC, TWRP became compatible with 4.4 about a week or so after 4.4's release, right? As choosing one or the other, I've never even tried TWRP, but I've never had any issues with CWM, so I'm happy. And as for the ROM, I think the simpler it is, the easier it is to get used to. Sometimes having hundreds of customizations can be a bit overwhelming.

Personally i was using CWM recovery when it was the only option besides stock, and it always did a fine job at what it was intended to do. In the last year or so i started using TWRP solely for the purpose of its free touch based UI. Yes you can find CWM touch on the net for free, but they are asking for payment for it so i opted out. Both work great at what they do, and although one or the other may lag a bit from time to time keeping up with changes in the android world, as fast as things move these hiccups are to be expected.
Hello Everyone!
First of all I want to say that this is not directly help for me, but for my girlfriend. I dont know you guys, but she is tired of her stock ROM since it freezes a lot of times, and yes, I have checked it, I tried updating, hardreset...etc and after a week the phone gets a lot of performance issues.
So my question is, I would like a modified ROM from the official last update if it exist, I mean that everything is working on the phone and it is of course faster than stock phone. This is not a questions "which is the best" nope, I just want to hear your reccommendations because I am not a user of this phone and I dont know very well all different versions etc. Furthermore I have read a lot on the forums, and i have a small idea what could work for this case.
for example:
Since this is a mod from a Stock ROm, It shoudnt has any problem, Isnt it?

My big concern is that Im not the user of the phone, and you now what happens with "users" if something is not working...

You can use WinDroid 2.0 toolkit. If u want good ROM... Ignorance is really good but try something from higher shelf HTCdroid. It's the best ROM for HTC One V! The smoothest and the fastest. But a lot of ROMs has one issue. Data usage doesn't work... Why? I don't know I'm working on it but here is one ROM what haven't got it it's MoDaCo.one Ir2 here it works. But it's outdated so use newer ROM like Ignorance!

Im starting the process, man this stock ROM gives problems even while sync contacts
If you are tired of sense shpongle is the way to go. If you are okay with it, pick htcdroid. Both best in its classes. Htcdroid seems bugless or only minor bugs visible while shpongle got camera dead - you need 3rd party apk.

It's not any more complicated. Don't worry about odex and stuff. Just stay in the development threads here and flash what you like. Not trying to be mean here but these types of threads are not necessary. Just make a nandroid and flash away and see what best fits your needs. Each rom is subject to opinion. I use slimfast and have had no issues with it.

I keep asking questions, and you give me other replies rather than answers... If might be straightforward and easy for you. and maybe screwing around with a $350 phone is no issue for you.. but me.. not so much.
"In theory you should be fine if you do dirty flash from another 4.3 rom such as DN3 v1.0 or SN10
We recommend TWRP 2.6.3.1 to flash this rom.
You need 4.3 boot loader.
Have both TWRP and latest CWM on your external SD Card along with Ditto Note 3.1.1
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.1, go into Wipe and slide to do the Factory Reset."
This is not straight forward to me.. since I have no idea if I have a 4.3 bootloader - says I HAVE TO HAVE ONE.
TWRP is at 2.7 now .. is there a reason he says to use 2.6.3.1??? on a rom that was updated 3 days ago??
These are the things that bother me.. I am not interested in bricking my phone.
If you dont want to help.. fine, But explanations for the terms used above are not coming up in searches, unless I want to read a ton of threads.. so I thought someone might answer for me.

If that's what the developer says to use then use it. I would say he knows why to use 2.6.3.1 but that's not really important. Samsung phones are very hard to brick if you follow the directions. I'm no expert dude, all I do is follow the directions in the OP. If you do that you will be fine. What were you running prior to slim fast? If you're not sure you have the bootloader you can just flash it again.

I've tried every method, but nothing seems to be working for me!
Can someone post a video or a very specific step by step guide with download links and all?
I am on version 4.4.2 (V50020d) and have access to both a PC and a Mac.
I can work with either TWRP or CWM, doesn't matter. I just need a custom recovery!
Thanks to all in advance!

You can follow step 3 from [HTML=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698267]this[/HTML] thread. This is vor the V50020a, but you'll have to edit the runme.bat like the guy over [HTML=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53587417&postcount=2]here[/HTML] did. That's what worked for me at least.
I was in the same boat, but after some searching, I've finally managed to flash TWRP on the V50020d. I can confirm this method is working

I didn't test them myself yet. I've only had this tablet for a few days and I'm pretty satisfied with the stock ROM at the moment ?
However, I did notice that CyanogenMod officially supports this device and that there are CM 12 nightlies on their site, so maybe you should try those.

Yup, that's what I went with! You should give it a try (Unless there are certain features that you like on stock ROM)
Lollipop runs super smooth on this thing! Seems to be just as smooth as on my OnePlus One. Now I just need to find a way to make the colors on the Gpad look less warm. The whites looks extremely yellow compared to my OPO

There are some kernels around here with the gamma fix. I've flashed one for stock ROM and that fixed the colors. There's probably one for CM 12 too.
About stock ROM, I really like this knock-on feature and the QuickRemote app. Those are some really handy features. There are also other features I like about it, but those are the most important. I'll probably flash CM12 somewhere in the future

Hey guys, I followed your guides and edited the bat. file so that it would flash and then reboot the tablet. The trouble is when I try to reboot into recovery it just gives me the error "secure booting error. cause: boot certification verify". I'm also on 4.4.2 rooted (towelroot) on 20D stock so it is really frustrating that I can't get it to work!
