The one in this parent forums sub forum, try launchers like nova, apex, go, hold the phone differently or move your router or use 2.4ghz not 5g if that applies to you, I've heard wifi fixer helps.

T999 roms should work. Just have a nandroid handy and don't flash any of the Tmobile modems.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

All the T-Mobile roms work on the T999v (I have a t999v on Wind). This includes AOSP roms, TouchWiz and the JellyBean leaks. Same goes for kernels. As mentioned before, just don't touch any radios/modems as they will not work.

Good battery life will be ROM dependent. The ICS roms based on touchwiz should have similar battery life. I also have decent battery life on the AOSP Jellybean roms. The Jellybean touchwiz leaks are a bit more touchy. Some users report lower battery life on some ROMs though it has been improving gradually

That's ypur baseband/modem. It will remain the same when you flash roms. No rom should affect the modem in any way (as far as flashing is concerned).
So yes you can freely flash roms. But do not flash any modems not intended for your model phone!

No you do not need to reflash your modem. They are independent of each other.

Exactly. They are on different partitions. When you flash a rom the baseband will remain the same.
The only time this matters is when you are flashing an ota patch. Then you must be full stock, modem and all.

Thanks a whole lot guys i will be flashing my first custom rom today !! I want to try a jb/aosp but how is camera quality ?
Sent from my SGH-T999V using xda premium

AOSP camera has less features than the touchwiz camera but it's not like you're physically changing the camera itself, so the quality should be the same.

This cm10 aosp rom is loaded whit win !

Opinions On Best Rom (Battery/Performance)

Hey everyone, I will be getting this phone (T989D Koodo) in the next few days and have a question.
I am coming from the LG Optimus One, a lower end smart phone. This will be my first 'major/higher end' phone.
I mainly use my phone for the essentials; texting, talking (and Camera now that I have a good one lol), and a bit of social media.
I don't play games on my phone. My phone will come with 4.0.4. I prefer stable roms with basically everything working.
What roms/kernels would everyone suggest for me? Focusing on battery life, but not decreasing performance to laggy.
Thank you in advance.
Edit: Thought I posted this in a different area(general). Mods please move to appropriate area.

I would put this on q/a

I'd try the Plain Jane ICS ROM for stability and speed. It's beautiful and minimal with performance tweaks. I personally use the MIUI ICS ROM. A lot of people are having sound quality issues in phone calls, but I have none of these issues. I have yet to jump to JB.
Good luck

Why does every thread on XDA turn into a pissing match? Yeah he posted in the wrong area, if you politely told him that and answered his question, none of this nonsense would happen. Just food for thought.

Hey, is this thread in the wrong area? Can someone help me flash a JB radio? Who can link me the guide to rooting my phone? Hey dev, you need to do this. I said now. See what I did there? Trolling like a newb.

Honestly, I'd recommend CM9 if you want solid performance and everything working properly while keeping solid battery life. It doesn't have a few of the bells and whistles that Touchwiz ROM's have, but the performance and stability are amazing.
However, if you'd prefer using a TW ROM, try out any of the 4.0 ROM's. 4.1 is neat, but still has problems no matter which one you go with. As for which one of those ROM's... I can't really say that any of them truly shines above another, so the best thing you can do is look for a highly rated/used one and try that out. Worst case scenario, you end up trying a different one instead.

First off, I'm not saying one devs work is better than the other. They all work dang hard for sure.
As far as ur preferences, mine are exactly identical and from personal taste I like jovy's darthstalker. Battery is great, its very stable and very smooth. With the same uses I average about 16 hours before needing a charge. I haven't had a chance to flash version 4 and play with it yet as I'm still enjoying version 3. Other than that, you can always flash all the roms and pick one that suits ur needs...cuz that's what I did. Good luck bud.

You obviously flashed the wrong rom.. JTAG or samsung repair can fix this. I recommend Sending it to samsung cuz its free

I sent off Samsung today 2 day air its free assuming they don't find its rooted. I was excited getting sg3 & didn't realize so many different versions. So long as I flash correct sgh-i747 roms i should be fine right?

Exactly! And the tmobile version is almost exactly the same in terms of hardware so you can flash sgh-i747 for sure, and sgh-t999 you just gotta remember to change the apn if your flashing a tmobile rom. Other then that. You cannot flash international roms or sprint roms or any other variant to this baby. But im sure xda will find a workaround to this. Till then Goodluck and take care of that phone

I would imagine that if they do find out, they'll still fix it for free. I doubt the people actually fixing the devices care too much as it doesn't really make a difference to them whether or not it's rooted. Best of luck!

Wouldn't it be ok if you put in a spare, charged battery, and booted into recovery or bootloader and flashed the right rom?

No, even with a spare battery it is highly doubtful that the device will come back to life. He tried to flash an incorrect ROM to his phone and the phone has shut itself down to prevent physical damage to the circuits. i/e Burn outs. This is one of the MAIN reasons to be sure of what you are doing BEFORE you do it.
Patience is an overwhelming virtue when your thinking to flash a non stock ROM. Read it, understand it, ensure it, then do it but ONLY if you are 100% sure of what you are doing.

Can anyone recommend a stable rom i747 att
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app

can any1 recommend what to do with a 6 day old 747 that got water damage everything works but the speaker??

Take the battery out.... And sim card/sd cards.... And put it in rice for 24 hours.... If you have not already fried the speaker/circuitry then this might help.... Rice absorbed it weight in water 10 times over... Or something like that.... Give that a try and see what happens

Roms battery life?

I was wondering what you guys found as a good ROM was for battery life. I know everything is different for ever phone but I would like to know which ones had general success in that aspect.

I use the goodness rom and it is great and it looks really good also

And of course there is The People's ROM. I think all are good choices. I am sure a moderator will close this, so I'll say you need to just try the different ROMs and see what works best for you. Be sure to give each ROM a couple days to settle and then make your comparisons.

In reality ROMS donr set the precedence for battery life. User and kernel are the determing factors. So like stated find a Rom that works well and then start reading and learning what tweaks users are doing to elongate battery life. But by asking this question I feel I should ask why not leave your device on the stock rom?

Root it, Flash rom, Test drive to see what it's going to do for you. That's the only true way to determine. Yes, this will soon go to rest with the other threads started like it. YMMV on ANY ROM.. Stock or Not.

Flash, and try some of them! It depends on the usage! Also gotta give the ROM time to settle, and do battery cycles. The only way to find out is trying.

Absolutely a MUST do!!!

Everyone that is looking for a more pure android experience must go and download the lifeless rom with jokers kernel!!!
I just want to say thank you so much to the devs, honestly I was dying to find a rom like this and was about to downgrade to a galaxy nexus until I found the lifeless rom!
Only complaint is that there isn't Google now.. Damn ics
Phone looks just like my nexus 7 now just much fast I love it
I really feel like everyone should be running this rom it's absolutely amazing! :good:
