[Q] Recently switched over to Xylon Rom

Hi guys, I'm new on this board and I just wanted a ask a few question about this rom. Currently I'm using the Xylon 2.3.3 and I'm loving it so far, running beautifully smooth. I just got a question about the gapps, I've installed the 2013-2-15 gapps with all the photosphere stuff, however there is a newer version gapp which is 20130301, should I update to that?
Also is the kernel that it came with any good? or should I change it to AK purity like a lot of user have said to make it run a lot better.

It's safe to update, just flash over the current gapps.
As far as the kernel goes, most users report great things from the AK kernel so it's worth a shot.
For future reference, please use the corresponding Pre-existing ROM thread to ask such questions. There is no need to initialize a completely new thread.

thanks I will in the future. btw I was just checking the kernel version. It seems like the rom has already built in with the ak kernel purity.030. Correct me if I'm wrong.

If that's what your about tab says then yeah.

What the most stable AOSP rom?And few more questions

I havent been on here for a while and currently on MOAR rom, i love it but i been having wifi issues with it. My wifi disconnects every hour or so, so i cant download things.
Im thinking about flashing CM/AOSP rom but would like to know which is most stable and if i can use Morphology with CM/AOSP roms.Or is there any barebone stable Twiz roms that i can use Morphology with.
Thanx in advance.

Oh, and what is AIO Aroma?Is this Aroma installer for AOSP roms? And does it have theming like morphology?

There is no "most stable [type here] rom", they're all good
But generally its a good idea to stay on builds up to the latest official version (aka 4.1.2), because anything above that will be prone to issues
Aroma installer is like an installer customizer for android...it let's the dev give you options about how to install it, what to install, etc. And no, it's not restricted to AOSP roms, it can be added to any flashable zip (rom, mod, theme, etc)
AIO just means all in one

Its not the MOAR ROM I'm on it w no WiFi issues, i think flashing another ROM will not fix your issue. I can't remember if 2.3 MOAR came with the connection optimizer or not. If it did make sure you disable it.

I was on Sonic rom before and had no problems,but with Moar my fifi disconnects and reconnects once in a while.Maybe i just had a bad flash or wrong kernel,im on latest Agat.
Is there any roms that will let me connect my phone via usb to ps3 to copy files? I remember it could before ics update, isc uses new protocol so it cant connect to ps3 as mass storage.On my JB GS2 rom they have old mass storage protocol baked in but i havent seen this on S3 roms yet.

Honestly, I can't say, it just depends on what you're looking for. If maximum stability is a must, then the old CM would do the trick . I would just recommend going through the last couple pages for LiquidSmooth to get a sense for any bugs that have been fixed or are still present

Liquid Smooth is awesome, as well as DeviantXone.

In my opinion, as of late, most AOSP ROMs will lock up your phone or won't run smoothly.
Go with older builds that don't include the 3.4 kernel. All run smooth.

I ported Pure AOSP ROM if your looking for something no bells no whistles just Google its like a Galaxy Nexus for our SGS3

I myself have been thoroughly enjoying INFAMOUS S4. It has the features I need, is faster than stock, and is very stable with great battery life. Just did a full backup of 3.3 and upgrading to 3.4 as I type this

does INFAMOUS S4 rom get rid of the bloatware?

Sure does. They also have a zip with the bloat should you require it for some reason.

Instead of giving you a particular ROM suggestion, I'll give you the best way to find the one that best suits you. First, you have to decide what features you want. If you want all the smart stays, the air move, and the other Samsung stuff, you definitely want TouchWiz. If you want a (negligibly) more responsive feel that's more barebones and to the core of Android, go with one based on/around CyanogenMod (or even the Google Edition). Before flashing any new ROMs I'd spend at least an hour reading through both the Android Development and Original Android development sections. You don't have to read every page of every thread, but at the very least read the OP. You should know within the 1st page what features are included, whether it's TouchWiz or not, if it's themed, etc. Most of the TW ROMs are already debloated and will say so in the OP. The CM bases have no carrier bloat at all. If it interests you, take a look at the last few pages. The reason you want to read the last few pages is to get a feel of what bugs are present. As the ROMs get updated and the threads grow, chances are that problems reported on the 3rd page aren't going to be relevant on page 26. If you try one you like, make a nandroid backup of it and keep the backup updated: that way, if another one pops up that you want to try, or you just feel adventurous and want something new, you'll have your backup(s) and can much more easily surf between ROMs if you so desire.

I've gone through Wicked, Jedi, Infamous S4, Infamous Google Edition, and Alpha roms. Personally, I liked Jamison's Infamous roms the best. I'm currently on his Alpha rom, which is based on the international phone's firmware(or something like that?) and has no wifi calling. But it's pretty smooth. Currently Jamison seems to be the fastest on updating all three of his roms, so if you want continual added features/bug fixes go with any of his roms. Wicked was very nice and stable when I used it, but I got flash-happy and couldn't stick with it since he updates like once a month. In the end it's all up to you though.
P.S. The Infamous S4 and Alpha roms recently have had the Samsung apps added back in, not sure why cos I haven't really read all the posts in the thread. You can easily remove them yourself though.

[Q] rogers's rom alternative

Hi, what rom do you use for your rogers i747m? I am looking for one and can't decide, must of them look good and seems a good choice (for at&t variant)... I am looking for something stable with good (least as stock) battery life. What make you chose this one.
THANK's for your input
JS
Hyperdrive and wicked are on top of my list, supernexus (can't remember if compatible) is too

I just loaded CyanogenMod 10.1 a few days ago. Can't believe I waited so long.
I was experiencing lag (the ten seconds to dial issue, slow typing, etc) all the time, instability and overall a crappy user experience.
After loading CM 10.1 it was like I'd bought a new phone. It's remarkably fast (I can never remember it being this fast and I've had it for a year), the new android 4.2.2 features are great, and the battery life seems to have improved slightly.
I forgot to backup two apps so I may have to reload the old ROM, but I'll switch it back to CM 10.1 as soon as I have that data in hand.
Highly recommended.

Hmmm It really depends on what you are looking for. I also own a rogers Galaxy S3 btw. Keep in mind battery life differs for every people because they use it differently. Use Greenify on the play store to save some battery life.
The smoothest Rom I ever used was CM10.1. That was the first rom I've ever flashed on this phone and I rarely had problems. For the battery life, it depends on which rom I flash. I usually do get a slightly lesser battery life than usual.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778270
I also enjoyed Task650's AOKP Roms. It's similar to CM10.1 except there's more features on this rom. I admit I haven't flash this rom for a while so I don't know how smooth it got. Last time I used it was almost smooth as CM10.1. Battery life also depends on which version you flash. Sometimes I get terrible battery life or sometimes I get a similar stock battery life.

I've tried Hyperdrive rom..... and this thing has a LOT of features. I think its almost too much but it can't hurt I guess. You get similar battery life to stock, if you don't add too many features (Only thing I added was AOSP features and a bit of Samsung features). Only painful part about this rom was waiting for the rom to finish download because of it is large file
link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176793
I'm currently using Dandroid. This rom is basically running a mixture of Touchwiz + Cyanogen. You get a pretty similar stock battery life AND you get an AOSP experience. Since you like the SuperNexus and Hyperdrive roms, I think you'll like this as well.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2121506&highlight=multi+window
I haven't tried SuperNexus yet, but I will get to that when they release a newer build.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219944
And then there's liquidsmooth, ParanoidAndroid, PacMan, RootBox, etc..... So many to choose from
If you want good battery life, you probably want to use a rom that is based on Touchwiz (Android 4.1.2).
In my experience, roms based on CM10.1 or AOSP/AOKP tend to be smoother than touchwiz based roms, but Touchwiz based roms have better battery life. Not sure about other people. I would love to hear their experiences!

Sorry for wrong section. thought was more an opinion wanted than i need an answer.
I know that battery life will differ from one user to the next, since not the same usage, but if someone see an improvement on that manner than i should see an improvement.
Thanks for the imput, and keep bring them in

No worries. When you select "yes this is a question" it puts a [Q] in the title and all Qs get moved to Q&A.

gapps there, but do i need to installed them (gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip) or included in the dandroid rom. Running stock de-bloated (app freezed atm), do i need to reinstalle stock and than flash dandroid or cmw recovery flash dandroid (after clear cache/dalvik and all)

Download gapps from the ROM you downloaded. You can try flashing gapps but if doesn't work, you have to reflash your ROM. Factory reset, wipe cache /dalvik, flash ROM, flash gapps.
You don't need to go back to stock. Just clean flash

There you go

OP, if you are installing a TW ROM you don't need to install any gapps. The gapps are included in the ROM.
For AOSP, AOKP, etc type ROMs you need to flash a separate gapps package that is usually linked in the ROM thread.

You can download http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip which is for 4.1.2 or you can just ask which gapps can I use in the OP.
Information from the developer
All apps updated to 4.1.2 versions.
Google Play Store updated to 3.9.16.
Should be backwards-compatible with 4.1.1.
Does NOT contain the leaked Gmail with pinch-to-zoom. GApps do not include leaked/test versions of Play Store applications, especially when the signing key differs from the Play Store version(s).
--From wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps

Getting a no and a yes...... confusing it is for my noobish brain....

[Q] Just got my phone after SDS syndrome, have some questions if you could help

Guys I just received my phone after the known problem with the SDS syndrome. My mobo was swapped..
Anyway I am a little rusty since I haven't been into ROMs/kernels lately so I have some questions as to the correct order and/or what I need to do.
I have seen that 4.3 is available through Cyanogen MOD so I am thinking about updating into this.
So I have some questions.
1. First and most importantly is Cyanogen 4.3 a stable release w/o issues? Do you have anything else to recommend (go for 4.2.2 for example)? I know this is personal preference but I'd like a rock stable ROM w/o issues, tested and fast if possible! And what about a reliable kernel? Should I keep stock or use another that you could recommend?
2. I had the swap internal/external memory mod with my previous builds. Is it compatible with Cyanogen or maybe is there any better way that I am unaware of to install apps on SD w/o the mod?
3. Do I need to have something else in mind ?
Thanks in advance for your help and patience.

1.Yes 4.3 is little mature now but not ripe as 4.2.2 are..and yes 4.3 is stable now as far as I know.
I'll personally go for 4.2.2 since these are stable builds now and most of the custom aosp roms are based on 4.2.2..but PAC and Probam(4.3 based) are quite famous now and bugfree too!!
For kernel I prefer perseus or neak in 4.1.2. For 4.3, probam has its own cm modified kernel
2.No idea regarding this coz I didn't used this mod
3.Yes..If u r planning to flash roms then always use sds patched kernel+recovery..
Sent from my AweSoMe ☆♥Note2♥☆

Thanks for the answer. Anyone knows if any kernel/rom from the PAC/Probam has issues with swap/internal external memory?
