Hi,
Im going to install this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849
([ROM][AOSP][GSM] Jellybean 4.1.1 JRO03C: Stock Rooted Busybox Deodexed (7/10/12)
But i have some minor question before i can do so:
Hi guys, im little bit confused. Here's my questions.
1. The latest version is V2 right?
2. Do i need to care about these things?
MD5 Checksum (check this if you think your download may be corrupt)
e1e4256a134df01769e0ef036d1d9c55 bigxie_maguro_JRN84D_v2-signed.zip
Root and Busybox Update (7/8/12) - The root environment is steadily updating for Jellybean. I will post the latest SU binary, app, and busybox here, as necessary.
3. I've heard there's new radio/baseband with jelly bean, should i install these aswell? I have 19250XXLA2, or is there a newer one?
4. What do you recomend for kernel with this ROM, i only want batterylife, should i run stock or another one?
5. Gapps is included in this ROM right?
thank you guys.
On the top of the page is a link to the 4.1.1 version. The V2 version linked a bit lower is 4.1.0. Both work fine but you might as well go for the latest one. Don't forget to do a full wipe though if you're coming from ICS.
Regarding the MD5's, I'd recommend checking them anyway, even if you're sure your download is good, better to be safe than sorry
Radio-wise you're not obliged to flash it. I'm running the 4.1.1 myself without upgrading the radio and I've had no issues so far. I've read that some people have experienced issues with WiFi on the new radio, but it seems to me those are pretty isolated cases anyway. If you do decide to go ahead with it, just make sure you have your current one around to revert back to should you run into problems.
Kernel wise I'm running Franco's latest nightly for JB (the stock GPU 384Mhz version, overclocked one eats battery like hell on my device) and it's running great. I've been using his kernels for a while now and am very happy with them. Can't compare to stock JB kernel since I didn't really use it, but on ICS I saw a noticable battery life improvement.
Gapps are included in the bigxie ROM yes, if you're using Titanium Backup for the rest of your apps, just exclude everything coming from Google, even the non Gapps ones like Maps, just get those back from the store.

One last question.
I've heard that you will have to have the Touch version of the CMW, or els you might get bootloop, is this true, should i get the touch version?
1. v2 is the latest
2. its worth checking if you want to be safe, it only takes a minute, but in most cases if your download goes uninterrupted you're okay
3. radio isn't a big deal, there was a new one, but i didn't notice any difference but it probably varies by location
4. franco kernel and leankernel are two that i would recommend, but i don't think leankernel is available on xda. i find leankernel interactivex governor to give me best battery life
5. yes Gapps is included

I dont have the touch version of CWM and it installed fine. There's another JB rom I would recommend flashing too if you want a few additional features,
[ROM][JB-JRN84D][7/08/12] ThunderStick Soft and Chewy [GSM] (in the android development section). I like having the quick toggles in the drop down. I flashed it yesterday and so far its been good

Well I do have CWM touch installed, but I doubt having the Touch or normal version would have an impact. Behind the scene they both do the same job, it's just how you give input to it that's different. I wouldn't worry about that too much, just make sure you're on a recent version and you should be fine. Touch CWM does work pretty well though and since you don't need to fiddle with the hardware buttons it can be 'easier' to work with
Thanks alot for the quick answers guys.
Regarding my question Nr 2, i don't even know what MD5's is and what it does, or how i check this.
Can you please explain like i was dumb, and how i check if i have the right version and all that stuff.
thanks again guys.

MD5 is a way to verify the integrity of the file you downloaded. In Linux, just go to the shell and type md5sum filename to get the hash (the string of numbers & letters) for that file. On Windows, check out WinMD5 to obtain the same result.
Once you got the hash for your downloaded file, compare it with the one posted on the forum. If they match you can safely flash the file. If they don't then you'll have to redownload the file. Do NOT attempt to flash a file where the MD5 doesn't match.
Good luck

You're right, although you could argue that the speed set by default is actually underclocked, as other devices with the same GPU usually run it around 380Mhz. Same goes for the CPU by the way, which is (if I'm not mistaken) set to 1.2Ghz while 'optimal' speed should be 1.5Ghz. Of course we could discuss for hours on these matters I bet

edit: nvm delete thread.
JellyBean isn't fully stable on our DHD/I4G just yet. There are always going to be some issues because HTC didn't give us a full 3.0 kernel for ICS. That could be the reason you are experiencing some lag. Kernels could also help you, try the KangBang performance kernel, although the kernel is leaning towards performance, so it could cause instability
I bought the xda app. Problem?
...
I can't link to the kernel (cause I'm lazy and on the xda app). But when you install a kernel wipe your cache and Dalvik Cache and then flash. That's the proper way of flashing a kernel

Hey thanks for the reply, yeah i successfully installed the stable and performance kernel from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931386
But the gaming performance still lags compared to 2.3.5. I guess its due to not being fully stable yet.
I had an idea, what if i flash the stock 2.3.5 kernel? Would i get stock performance back or not?

You'll ruin your phone. A 2.3.X kernel I'd meant for that specific version of Android. If you mix versions (e.g. a Gingerbread kernel with a Jelly Bean ROM) you'll most likely get bootloops and your phone. At worst you'll brick your phone. Don't ever mix kernel versions. Also don't flash a Sense kernel on a AOSP/AOKP/CyanogenMod based ROM (or vice versa), you'll also have a phone that won't boot.

sullyy94 said:
Hey, thanks for the reply. Yeah I was guessing it had something to do with the kernel. I tried a kernel yesterday not sure which one it was from memory, but when I put the kernel zip onto the phone and installed it through recovery it said install complete. But when I rebooted the phone it gets stuck on a black screen. I can't do anything else unless I take the battery out. I was wondering if anyone can give me a link to the kangbang kernel and instructions in how to install properly if the recovery mode isn't the right way, even though it said kernel updated successfuly. Thanks!

The only compatible alternative kernel for JB is the KangBang (at least that i know of). If you flashed another one, that might be why it booted to a black screen.

Hey all
lately I noticed that my stock android 4.2.2 (not rooted) has become a bit sluggish sometimes. I like stock android but I feel as if the GNex is really running on the edge now in 2013 if I compare to the newest hi-tek android devices/Iphone 5 etc.
Could flashing a custom rom improve the speed and smoothness ? Also maybe I'd like to try out hybrid mode like you have in PA. I also heard a lot of good stuff about Sorcery, don't really know what would suit me the best.
Do you guys think rooting + flashing a custom rom would still my hunger for a new phone for some time still ?
Hope to have some tips that can move me into the right direction. Nonetheless I still love my GNex but I hate when it lags a bit sometimes..

Yes, it could. A new home launcher also could improve speed and smoothness.
Yeah, I think for sure you will be content with your phone longer if you try different ROMs on it occasionally, or even just recieving new updates to a current ROM.
sure dude why not.. if u root u can overclock and thus increasing your performance, rom selection is self choice related try every rom and kernel and stick to the one you love

What are the most performance/smoothness based roms ? Or is it more a kernel thing ? Although I don't want to experiment with 1001 settings and kernels on a rom before I get it right. I reckon that a developer puts a stable kernel together with the rom he makes and releases..

Everyone has their own favorites. I personally recommend you try the newest stable CM, or even the M series if you prefer the newest features before the are implemented in to the stable builds.
Stick to the prepackaged kernel so you don't develop issues from using a third party kernel on a ROM it wasn't designed for.
That's my preference, hope you find yours. "Best ROMs" or "smoothest ROMs" threads get closed quick around here.

Ok thx, should try out CM then maybe, seems the most logical step too. I consciously didn't use the words "best rom" , as that's indeed each one to its own. Though, smoothness is imo an objective thing.
One of the best things about flashing a custom Rom and Kernel is the Fast Charge support! Pretty much if you just use a standard USB port on your PC it will charge as fast as a wall charger.

First question... Have you rebooted in awhile?
Second question... How many background tasks are constantly running.
Custom ROM/Kernel makes sense only if you go for a minimalistic ROM/fine-tuned kernel. Honestly, Stock ROM is fine, unless you need features missing. Or look for just straight optimized ROMs like RasBeanJelly Vanilla and others that are only trying to fix bugs and not add bloat.
Kernel, pick your flavor, but always go with 'stable' ones and not nightlies if you want to avoid issues.
For me, I do Stock ROM (or would consider RasBeanJelly Vanilla) at best, and Franco Kernel (though stock is good enough).
Another point... Key Lime Pie (v. 5.0) will be announced likely in a few weeks at Google I/O 2013. Why deal with unlocking the bootloader, flashing ROMS, and Kernels, then to have to wait for source code to be released to get the newest and latest?
Bootloader was unlocked from the day I got it (to go from yakjuxw to takju). Now I just rooted my phone with custom bootloader, but it's still on stock takju. Do I still get the Google OTA's ? Iirc I need the stock bootloader for this ?
Have you tried to wipe data?
You can try this first if you like stock. If you want to try a smooth custom rom I recommend you xylon + ak kernel.

I believe TWRP and CWM will allow you to install OTAs, but you need to have stock kernel and no other system apps that are not apart of Google's stock Android. However, you wouldn't wait anyways for OTAs since you can just flash the updates that appear on XDA once they arrive. Either via fastboot or the custom recovery (if they work).
If you go to a custom ROM, you will not receive OTAs, (or shouldn't if the ROM was built right). You will have to wait for the ROM to be upgraded by the maintainer of it.
dude try something new other than stock..
CM 10.1 + ak diamond
governor = ondemand
stable,good speed..

Not sure if by mistake but, (as of the date of this post) there's no custom bootloader for any of the GSM/LTE variants of the Google Galaxy Nexus.
What he's talking about is a custom recovery. (This needed correction so as to not to mislead readers.)

Good point you're right, sorry should have been more clear.
I'm indeed talking about a custom recovery, not bootloader. Atm I only have lockscreen policy with clock hack and SuperSU/SuperUser apps who use the root. Is this enough to prevent me from having google OTA's ? Still didn't get to flashing another rom lol, I guess I like stock. And it might be between my ears but having rebooted + rooted the phone made it feel snappier again.
Thanks for all the feedback guys.

Again, if you alter system files the OTA will fail, if it needs to update those.
Well my (noob) question was if above mentioned things such as ClockHack who need SuperSU permission altered my system files?
I am using Purity with Leankernel. Gives me a smooth experience and great battery life.
Also it has the PIE and you can use XPosed framework to get Per App DPI with any ROM like I do.
But I have tried almost all the ROMS in the development section except for a couple maybe. I keep returning to Purity, Vanir and Cataclysm most of the time when I have something important come up and I cannt flash a new ROM every other day.

Hello there,
I'm running CM 10.1 currently and looking into flashing a new kernel (KT747) for better battery performance. I am still new to kernels but I was wondering how I would go about backing up the current kernel so that I can restore it if anything goes wrong, or if I am unhappy with the new one.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Mike
I just flashed stable cm 10.1.3 and am in the same position as you. Let me know if you find a kernel for us! I'm going to continue searching tonight.

This is the kernel I'm looking to flash, looks like a great one with lots of options for performance tweaks and battery saving:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756776
Also, I found an app called Trickster MOD from the Play Store that allows you to backup your kernel... however I'm not sure if that's the correct way to go about doing this, I just want to be sure to have a backup of the CM kernel in case things go awry with this one.

Hey man, if that kernel fails you there's another kernel called leankernel, which I actually prefer over kt747. I can usually overclock higher with better stability. Though, it's all up to how your phone handles it. Try making a complete backup of your rom if you can to save your kernel. Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm still waiting to find out if there's actually a way to backup just the kernel without having to backup the entire ROM. If I should happen to want to go back to the CM kernel I don't want to have to restore the whole ROM, I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.

I'm kinda screwed right now. The file system on 4.2 is awful, and if you restore a previous rom and install 4.2 again it creates more of a mess. I'm in the process of fixing all of these directories currently. Just be careful.

Try to just reflash the rom, or flash a new nightly over it. That's usually what I do when I have a kernel I don't like, it flashes right over it back to the stock cm kernel.

The kernel is great, it's just the file system from 4.2 creating duplicates of my directories.
Ok so I've searched and read up on all these great kernals, but my brain is so boggled and confused on everything, I'm hoping 1 of u great devs can advise and or gimme your opinion on what's right for me considering what I'm looking for:
I'm running stock rooted rom 4.4.2 sense 6, twrp 2.7.1.1 verizon
Basically I'm just looking to stay as close to stock as possible while at the same time enabling wake gestures (double tap to wake) etc… I don't really mess with over/under volting at all. 1 more thing I'm looking for is the system to mount as r/w automatically on boot. (im pretty sure I read the kernel is what controls this) if anyone can guide me on which kernal is best for what I'm looking for, it would b much appreciated…
Kernels are all a matter of opinion and what works best for the end user. Try each one for a little while and find what works for you. They all should have system r/w access by default. The only one I think doesn't is the actual stock sense kernel which none of these roms use. I would suggest however that you upgrade your recovery to version 2.7.1.2 from here. http://mdmower.cmphys.com/twrp-m7vzw/

Also give the below kernel a try. It has some more bells and whistles for battery and performance optimization. I don't know if it specifically has gestures, but it does have dt2w s2w s2s in it. I get amazing battery life compared to stock kernel with absolutely no loss in performance. Post #214 that I linked has the 4.4.2 version of the kernel and is up to date with kernel.org version and security/stability fixes. (Just read the OP of the kernel threads to see if they upstreamed the kernel version patches, like that link for 4.4.2 is kernel version 3.4.99)

If you get bored... And want yet another to try, I did post one in the stock thread a while back, just search that thread for wake gestures.
I'll wind up giving both Kangaroo and Santods a try eventually… Definitely more confident now that I've flashed roms kernals boot splash screens, recovery's, etc…
custom ROMs for HTC one V (differences, bugs, info)
Hello,
I am new to this site, and new to this thing, but I am interested to update my HTC one V with some custom ROM (jellybean or higher) and I wanna know some info about which one is the most stable and popular one, with no bugs or trivial bugs.. It is frustrating because they are plenty of ROMs and kernels here.. and what is the difference between AOSP and AOKP version? somewhere I read that aokp is less stable but better... I actually want features included RAM and CPU clocking, because this is the coolest thing in these custom ROMs.. :cyclops:
- I have HTC one V (GSM) rooted and bootloader unlocked
- I have CWM recovery 6.0.3.3 installed
- I have official android v4.0.3
so which ROM you guys prefer to me and which kernel that goes along? and is my CWM version OK or I need other one?.. I really want to get more of this phone than I am getting now.. it's a really nice phone but it's a bit lazy when operating tasks, so it's not for impatient users
I am new to this, but I somehow succeeded to root my V, thanks for detailed instructions on this site, so thanks to you guys ..now I just have to update my ROM, and I will be more than happy
Get kitkat and you'll be happy
It's really fast, mostly bug free and gets security updates...
I use lollipop personally and I like material design to much to go back.

You can't (you really can't) brick your phone by installing a recovery, rom and a kernel.
It's really easy. If your still using the stock rom (rooted or not), you first have to unlock your bootloader. This is important because with a locked bootloader you can't overwrite to parts of your storage.
Just search for some guides (like this one) and only do the unlocking of the bootloader, not the rooting.
After unlocking the bootloader, flash a custom recovery (this is the newest version of TWRP, a popular recovery).
Then you reboot into the recovery and install any custom rom you like. Then you reboot into the bootloader again and flash the kernel for this rom, because the recovery can't do this.
And now you're finished. Just reboot and you'll have your new system.
If you need help with something, just use some guides here in the forum, those things have been explained thousands of times
Oh, and don't forget doing a backup of your data before. It will be deleted when installing the rom.
By the way: "rooting" means gaining root access on your system by using some vulnerability in the system. Root access is a bit like the admin user on windows, it can do everything and has no limits. But rooting only affects your current rom and is only needed in the stock rom. Most custom roms already have root access enabled.
can with only TWRP flash CyanogenMod 11? I see in the post is written that need latest TWRP to flash this ROM..
but I have already CWM recovery 6.0.3.3 installed. So shall I delete it? What is the difference between TWRP and CWM?

TWRP has much more features and has touch support.
Yes, you need twrp, because it's much newer and has selinux support, which is required for installing.
Install this TWRP by rebooting into bootloader and flashing with: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (replace recovery.img with the image you want to flash.
which kernel shall I use after installing your CM11 ROM? which you prefer is better or stable in general?

There is only my kernel (included in rom-zip) and Shoaib05's kernel which isn't developed anymore. Try out which one feels faster.

I have used dedicated kernel in zip, it is ok without issue, pretty fast, running for a day now.
btw... I was just considering if I could push the clock of CPU a bit more.. is it possible or it's already done OCed with this kernel? ...is there some app for that maybe?

If you enable developer options you get a performance settings menu in the settings. There you see the kernel is overclocked to 1200 MHz by default, which is still ok on most devices. For my phone it's no problem to go up to 2 GHz, but 1200 MHz is enough for me.
all good, but MMS messages don't work, can't download them.
is this a bug in CM11?
