stock gb - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So my mom has stock gb non rooted but her android is uses 80%of the battery anyone know what's wrong?

Stock ROM is the problem If I was you.. id root her device and install calkukins GB ROM as it looks stock but has many great tweaks and much better than an awful stock ROM... of course with her permission. You can always also update her phone to the latest android 4.0.4 ICS update.

[Q] Help getting back to stock or decent rom

Hi Guys
I rooted my HD last night with latest cyanogen with everything working fine.
So I then tried to overclock and flashed a kernal to do it
2.6.32.21-ck2-hrkfdn-cyanogenmod-gf01fa7d-dirty
since then the phone has been running like a dog. if i run a benchmark i get device does not support stencil buffers and I cant play games at all.
Is there a better kernal to use or can anyone explain how to get back to the stock kernal ?
Cheers
Flash your cyanogenmod rom again, then you have your old kernel back.

Back to stock
Hi guys,
I've unrooted my DHD the other day from LeeDroid 3.3.3, now back to stock (I believe?) 1.32.405.6, Android version 2.2.
When I check online for OTA updates the phone says there are no updates, but I know there is a 2.3 GB version with a 3.0 Sense available.
Any ideea how to get the latest OTA, please?
The only thing I can guess at is that something is not quite 'stock'. Did you restore your old radio and original hboot backup that was made when you originally rooted it? You might've already used this but Yoshi_523 wrote an awesome guide that I used when I needed phone fixed under warranty:

[Q] Put T-Mobile G2 back to stock Android

My G2 is rooted and I flashed Virtuous Sense 3.0 on it. It's kinda sluggish and sometimes it hangs. How can I flash the stock ROM back? Please help...
Let me ask a few questions...
What were you running previously?
Did you not do a backup prior to flashing a new ROM?
Do you want to go back to full stock, s-on, out of the box?
Thanks for the reply. It was stock, S-ON, out of the box before the OTA update to 2.3.4, then I downgraded to 2.2 to gain root, then flashed VS 2.0 first, then 3.0, and performance-wise, they're the same to me and hangs once or twice a day. My backup is now a VS 2.0. HTC Sense to me is good, but I can live without it. Just want my G2 back to stock, it was GREAT!
Search around the Dev section, if I recall there are some pre-rooted stock ROMs on there. Or you can just make the jump to CM7, maybe to CM9 (or CM9 based) ROM. I'm running Andro V13 and it runs well. As far as sense ROMs, I tried out Revolution HD for a few hours and was by far the smoothest Sense 3.5 ROM I've had.

Check out the dev section, I have a rom called g2slim. Its the newest stock ota update ripped clean with battery saving mods and speed tweaks. It has a ton of free ram at boot too, all those stupid lil apps take like 2mb ram each. I know it don't sound like a lot, but they add up!

Running AOSP kernels

Hi guys,
I'm running stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean on my d2tmo Galaxy S3. When I look up kernels and whatnot, they are labelled many different ways. Some have JB in the name, some with AOSP in the name. I'm wondering: what types of kernels can I flash if I'm running a rooted stock ROM? I don't want to flash any custom ROMs because I'm a musichead and I like the stock music player
Thank you!
First of all you can get then stock music player with a custom rom
Second you can only run aosp kernels with an aosp rom. Aosp stands for android open source project. Aosp is not stock.
You can only use kernels labeled stock or touchwiz if you are using stock based rom

3rd of all, what in the heck do you want? Haha, you say you are running a 4.1.2 rom (only aosp available on TMO) so AOSP... but you want a kernel for stock (4.1.1) touchwiz rom? The stock music apk is great and works on all stock touchwiz based roms, and in my resource guide I have a huge list of what is available and what is what, if the kernel says 4.1.1 TouchWiz then it is for 4.1.1 TouchWiz. if it says 4.2 AOSP it is for 4.2 AOSP, if it says 4.1 AOSP then it is for 4.1 AOSP... Look in my resource bible in my signature, or in the dev sections for [kernel].
See, that's where I get confused. Sorry for the noob questions. I've been looking around but can't find clear, precise answers.
I'm running the stock TouchWiz, out of the box, 4.1.1 Jelly Bean (updated while not rooted to 4.1.2). That stock ROM is not the same as an AOSP ROM or an AOKP ROM, is it? I have another Android device that runs CM10.1 so I know a bit here and a bit there about ROMs and whatnot, but I'm not so confident when it comes to my S3.
Simply put, I want to keep that stock ROM, but get a custom kernel, because the stock kernel SUCKS. I need to know what kernels I can flash, and clninja already said I can only flash kernels labelled stock or TW. Am I correct, so far?
Thank you!
Well here's a Kernel that is supposed to be supported for STOCK rooted : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785466 :highfive: But seriously you should get a custom ROM, the performance improvement is incredible and power management too ! :laugh:
There is a 4.1.2 stock ota ROM?!? I suck lol.

That ROM is labelled Jelly Bean in the title but underneath that it says it's only compatible with ICS. Question mark.
Question: when you're running a custom ROM, if there's an update for it, say from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1, you can just flash the update right over and not worry about problems right? Or do you need to factory reset through recovery and wipe the caches all over again?

There are a couple of touchwiz kernal's around, Ktoonsez is one that I would recommend, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871946
Usually the general rule of thumb with upgrading custom rom is full wipe and flash, but some users has dirty flashed and had no problems so it depends whether your phone likes you or not.

Most of the times when you flash a ROM that is built off itself, you can "dirty flash". Example--> That means if you are already on a RootBox Nightly 2/17 with a clean install and RootBox 3/6 comes out, all you have to do is wipe /cache and /dalvik-cache and then flash the new version of the ROM. If any bugs creep up, then if you dirty flashed, chances are that is why.
If you are going to go from a TWiz ROM to an AOSP/AOKP ROM then I suggest a full factory reset and wipe accordingly. That way you have a clean install.
Read the OPs of the ROMs

Yup. Thankfully my phone likes me, plus I kind of know what I am doing with regards to diagnosis.
@OP Can you please post exactly what your Build Number says in Settings>About Phone?

You could install the update, but seriously I never do updates. I manual flash the whole new ROM. ( and I never had any accidents or bugs)
For the kernel, its was a example kernel chose the one you prefert ( THAT SUPPORT TOUCHWIZ STOCK ROM ) or just flash a new ROM with build-in kernel like the ParanoidKANGdroid 10.2 ROM !
I flashed the FrostyJellybean ROM with Xone kernel and it's been good so far. I'm a religious person when it comes to battery, but so far it's about the same as the normal drainage on the stock ROM, no noticeable improvements.
Another question (whoop): if I run a Nandroid backup, does that backup include the ROM itself? In other words, if I'm running the Frosty ROM, and there's a ROM I want to test, will creating a Nandroid include the Frosty, or will it just backup the system image excluding the ROM itself? I'm asking this because I have wanted to restore my Nandroids but didn't know if that backup may overwrite my existing ROM with the previous ROM.
Thank you guys for taking your time to help me out, I really appreciate it!

I have flashed a new ROM, so I no longer have the stock Build Number. It now says FrostyJellybean v11.6. I can tell you for a fact that I was previously running 4.1.1 rooted but without any customization or mod whatsoever outside the phone's original settings, so as stock as you can get.
A Nandroid is essentially a snapshot of your ROM at that point in time. You can back it up, try a new ROM and if you don't like it, then restore your Nandroid. A Nandroid should be done before you flash anything. You don't necessarily have to keep them all except your latest, but at least have one for when you try something out.
You can flash and restore just fine from ROM to ROM. Only thing is, you can't restore across platforms. Meaning, if you are on JB 4.1.1, you couldn't restore to ICS 4.0.4. Likewise you can restore a JB 4.1.1 if you are on a JB 4.2.2 ROM because of the file structure. There are ways to do it, but I won't go into that right now. Moral of that story is you can flash and restore laterally as far as builds go, but you cannot restore across different base builds.
*************
I just wanted to see your Settings>About Phone>Build Number because in your OP, you stated that you were running "stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean". We don't have a stock 4.1.2 ROM, so I was making sure you didn't have another phone. Sure, could be a T999 but there are Canadian versions out there that require different things.
Oh, about the Android version, yes, it's 4.1.1. I wrote 4.1.2 because I thought there was some stuff going on, like wireless and whatnot, and had previously read somewhere that 4.1.2 was rolling out and my phone was doing the "Android is upgrading" thing when it booted up and I didn't check the version before writing that. No worries, it was the stock 4.1.1.
Thank you so much for answering my questions, you guys are awesome!

[Q] GT-l8160 downgrade to JB

Hello everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 GT-l8160. After upgrading to JB experience with the phone was much worse than with GB. Then i decided to tweak it a little, so i did that trick with Odin to get 628mb RAM and installed D-Kernel to speed things up. After that, phone was quite faster but still i had MUCH better experience with GB rom and i would rather downgrade the phone to 2.3.8.
Is there anyone who could make a guide or something? My phone firmware STOCK is I8160XXMF1 (Baltic, SEB).
And as i mentioned there is D-Kernel installed in Stock rom and the phone is not rooted.
Thanks for help!

Which custom SOTCK based rom for T-320

OK, Have rooted my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 (T-320) and installed CM12. Found that camera is not saving photos so I would like to revert back to STOCK rom which has been modified. The Android Development thread is a bit unorganized due to being mixed with CM roms.
So, which ROM STOCK customized ROM would you suggest? I am currently downloading Average Joes ROM.
Thx
OK. Never mind. Installed stock ROM. Needed something that is not home made.
