First step into android... and open source too! - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

Hi,
I will be getting my galaxy W in about a week but im totally new to the open source world AND android. So first i want to know if you can inform me of any web pages which can get me started ( i know the first thing i have to do is root the device but how?)
And secondly, do you advise i upgrade the version to another ROM? What ROM do you recommend? And its important for me that the ROM is Farsi (Persian) capable too.
Thankyou very much

You can start with AOSP (Android open source project). It is free for everyone. It is provided at source.android.com
At here, it provide you most of thing that you need to build a new android version for your device. Of course, you must have a skill in developing.

I'm not sure if there are Farsi-capable ROM here... most are either based on European ROM or SEA ROM... you'll have to try them all...
That said, before doing anything : root your (stock) ROM. Then, install CWM. And finally, do a full Nandroid backup.
Afterwards, feel free to experiment; if you don't like a Custom ROM, you can easily get back to Stock.
Happy Wonder-ing!

CWM is abbreviation for "ClockworkMod", a custom recovery for Android. There's a version optimized for SGW here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446593
'Nandroid backup' is the term used to describe the act of backing up *everything* in the internal storages (except the Recovery), including the ROM (stock or custom), the apps, all settings and databases (phone book, etc.)
Performing a Nandroid Backup allows you to quickly return to a 'known good state' through a Nandroid Restore. (E.g., you accidentally flashed a bad or corrupt ROM).

Installing Stock ICS ROM

Hey community,
I am still a newbie to HTC, Flashing, Custom ROMs and rooting in the first place.
I managed to install a custom ROM a while ago, now I wanna go back to the stock ROM (ICS - Icecreamsandwich 4.0.4)
What I need now, is the orignial stock ROM, which I am not really sure where to find via google etc. (Since i found hundreds of different links everywhere)
Further I'd like to know how to install it correctly. Can i just put it in my storage, and flash it via the phone?
Or do I need any special software or anything else?
I hope you can help me and explain the process nice and easy, since I don't have much experience as mentioned before.
Greetings,

[Q] Help me out with my Xperia Arc :/

Hey, i want to root, flash a custom kernel and install a custom rom on my Xperia Arc. So far i have only unlocked the bootloader. Can someone refer me to threads of where i can proceed with root, flash a custom kernel and install a custom rom, that would be so great. I get so confused with all these threads and instructions.
Also if someone out here with a Arc / Arc S could give me some advice of good kernels and roms for my device that would also be great. Thanks.

You should try the ROM and kernel combinations yourself. Go to the development section, read a few of the ROM threads and try them out. Since everyone has different requirements for the ROM, there is no 'best ROM' out there that everyone can agree on.
If you're not sure about the instructions here, search on Google instead. They should have newbie guides there.
僕のLT18iから送られてきた
You do not need root to install custom firmware. Just flash the appropriate kernel for your rom then boot into cwm and flash rom.

Just get out. People who ask questions in General section should be instantly banned, that kind of retarded behavior creates chaos and it's a cancer of xda forums. Actual answer: read sticky threads, you will find there everything you need and if you have problems with following guides then there is no hope for you just buy an iphone.

Just get out. People who replies with these kind of answers in a thread about a guy who simply wants someone to refer him to a simple recommended root, kernel flash and custom rom guide, should be instantly banned. Look at the other two answers and maybe you have somewhat of an idea of how to send a reply with a proper answer. What's so wrong about posting this in a General section about Xperia Arc? Please refer me to the rules regarding that, if so, then i have clearly missed something.
Well i can't really blame you, i guess it's that time of the month, right?
Hi bro !
- First, give your phone a good full charge and let's go !
- If your bootloader is unlocked flash Lupus v16, you'll find it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867265
In this kernel, CWM is included.
- Then download an ICS ROM (ICS needed with this kernel). There is a huge number of ROM on DEV section, just download the one you prefer ! (Personally, I recommend you jader13254's one :angel: --> look at my signature :good: You'll find it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920207)
- Put the zip on your SD card and boot into CWM (by pressing VOL DOWN during boot)
- Do full wipes (data + factory reset + format /system + battery stats)
- Install the ROM (install zip --> Choose from SD card --> ROM.zip)
- Reboot twice !
And enjoy your BRAND NEW PHONE !!!
Hope I helped you !

Stock ICS was so laggy, i couldn't stand it anymore. Now it feels like a whole new phone, love it But which ROM would you personally recommend between Viper and Ultimate HD? I've tested them both and it's very hard to pick one :/
Up to you, if my memory is correct viper is more customisable, uhd gives better performance ( subjective) but theyre both great.
And btw, yeah these threads go in Q&A, not the general section...

Everything. What's the point in having a separate sections for different kinds of threads when people just don't give a **** about this? When I want to help people I go to Q&A and when I need a custom kernel I go to Development section, this feels logical. People who can't keep their posts in the right place create a mess which is frustrating and gives moderators extra work. If you keep your milk in a drawer and bread in a refrigerator then good luck with your life.

I see your point, well excuse me then. Honestly i didn't even see that section, even though it's right below General. I just registered and was in a hurry and I just picked the a section that made most sense to post in apart from Q&A. On top of that, i'm new here as well, i dont know my way around yet, of what's allowed and what's not allowed apart from the rules. But that's probably not an excuse here. Actually, sometimes i keep both in the refrigerator and my life is going pretty well.

Well, it's up to you ! Personally, I'm using Ultimate HD and I love this ROM ! Viper is also good ! :laugh:

Before trying to use any roms, flash this Arc S firmware: https://hotfile.com/dl/167361348/43349db/LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2716).ftf.html

Mmmm... as of now the Build0722: http://legacyxperia.basketbuild.com/index.php?dir=main/cm10.1/anzu/nightlies/
Is just fine, no lags and the bug of random reboots have been fixed (Tested on my friend's Arc) It's much better if you'll partitioned your SD card and have a Link2SD on it
-EDIT-
ICS and JB 4.1 is ALOT stable than the JB 4.2 right now cause some parts of camera is not partially working correctly in 4.2 (Sorry I forgot to told u bout that)
Here you can try FreeXperiaProject's CM10 for Anzu: http://www.freexperiaproject.com/
Stable enough for daily use but I think FM Radio is still not working there (Correct me if I'm wrong, not sure about it)

Hi,
after years with different versions of Cyanogen I'm so used to it that I'm really a little worried that noone ported it for the Galaxy Fame.
Rooting is easy with motochopper so apps lite Titanium are working but I'm really missing some of the CM goodies.
Or any other ROM that has more customizations available.
Would be great if a coder could go for it

Rooting with the motochopper and installing the clockworkmod recovery goes very smoothly and easily if you follow the instructions. At that stage you at least have the benefits of being rooted such as Titianium Backup and being able to create a clockworkmod recovery.
It is a bit frustrating not being able to find any customer overclock/undervolt kernels and a nice juicy Cyanogen custom rom for it, but hopefully it will come in time.
Hey guys. Just wanted to know if there's any progress going on with custom roms??
Thanks for any info.
Aparently no activity for this terminal, guess many of us have to buy another model.
hi i have been reading all these galaxy fame threads and searching further a-field for any detail too on a new rom, really interested in tweaking one myself but being a newbie im not sure how to get the standard one in zip format to start working with and altering, can anyone help me with that part so then i can start tweaking it a bit to test please?

I rooted my fame with motochopper and it was super easy (rooting it with this automatically installs supersu aswell which is handy), then root checker to test that rooting worked, (i deleted root checker afterwards).
i put on titanium backup which is a very good app, and helps alot, and helps to get rid of unwanted apps and widgets.
i also used pimp my rom which is quite a nifty app, but can cause allsorts of problems if you tweak too much, i did get it running better than normal after changing settings several times.
i couldnt get the clockwork mod stuff working to be honest.

You can flash cwm from my thread (check latest posts) and make a backup. After that you can give it a try.
I suppose that it works because those terminations are most of region codes or something eg, B for Brasil, L for Latin and P for the nfc version. But the boards are the same...
Cheers!:good:
I'm going to try this... Soon. Thanks!
:fingers-crossed:
corsicanu, ok now i can confirm, you rom is compatible with L series, so i done your tutorial, installed CWM, from the right post, and them the costom rom....alas it still a "stock rom", is very stable and very lightweith compared with the provider rom. so, kudos to you, now, is time to test and to help in the case i find a bug......thank you so mutch for this, galaxy fame deeded it so mutch i'll keep in touch when somethin happends.

This link will help you how to root. Before you click on it and follow the steps, when you get to step 13, skip to step 18, and then go back to step 14, but skip 18 this time around. This makes a nandroid backup of your ROM (Recovery Menu > Backup).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195283
After you've rooted, download "Root Browser" or something similar to that from the Play Store.
After starting Root Browser up, browse to system/app. Then there will be a load of apps there. Simply click on it and select uninstall.
Be sure to know what you're uninstalling. If you mess up, just restore from the backup you made earlier in recovery.
As for your second option, I'm not sure how to help you with that, sorry!
Good luck!

CyanogenMOD is probably still the biggest, and if you're new to custom ROMS and rooting, it helps to be able to Google for answers. I see Jedi around a bunch here too, so you'd probably be okay getting help here, but I don't know much about it (I stick with CM). The latest out is CM 10.1 (which is Android 4.2.2).
Another step (once you get confident with using the various ROM/rooting tools) to fine-tuning your phone is updating your radio, and there's an excellent thread with the radios listed for the T989 here.

Yup he's right CM is the biggest in custom ROMs but you can start off with the ROMs based on stock like Jedi, Infamous, & Northern Touch, etc.
Then after you become comfortable with flashing you can move onto AOSP ROMs.

Samsung galaxy ace II [GT-I1860] JB help.

Samsung galaxy ace II [GT-I1860] JB help/ questions.
hey everyone today ive decided to make a thread for the galaxy ace 2 Jellybean users to help awnser your problems and lags and what causes them, and to ask my own questions...
JellyBean 4.1.2 (Stock rom) having tried this rom ive currently found no problems other than that horrible lock screen,
if you switch it off / lock it (via the power button) and then switch the screen on again and you get a black screen
thus so disabling the usage of lock screen/sleep does anyone know how to fix this or am i just flashing the wrong/unstable rom...
if you have a stable rom for the ace 2 (GB & JB) please share :good:
thank you and all the best,
-Speedtrix.
(PS. im not noob so fell free to use all terms to say what you think.) :good:
I would use cm10.1 and above because i never liked stock jb on our phone :/ as for gb theres no custom rom

slow boot-up,
and does not allow large file download (more than 200mb and i download allot of heavy apps... )
