[Q] Best rom and best kernel for T999V

Hi all! I want to know what is the best Rom and the best kernel for the SGH-T999V. My carrier is Videotron.
Thanks

Define best. Are you looking for best performance, longest battery time, coolest custom features, etc?

Battery life and coolest feature
Sent from my SGH-T999V using xda app-developers app

^ I have same question. Whats kenrel comparati with T999?

AOKP tends to have the most custom features out there and is pretty stable from what I've read. CM10 has the biggest community and the most support so it'll be the first to get a fully stable release.
And for battery life, I'd suggest Lean Kernel and don't overclock anything.

How can I install Leankernel without bricking my phone?

Put the .zip file on your SD card then use ROM Manager to boot into CWMR. Wipe cache and then wipe Dalvik cache. Flash from there. I would assume since Videotron is combined with the T-Mobile forum all the ROMs and kernels for T-Mobile would also work for your phone. The only difference that I can tell from T-999 and T-999V is the 999V is Canadian. Other than that just don't flash any T-Mobile specific modems or radios and you should be good.

Ok so the kernel and the radio are not tbe same things. Im sorry I am totally noob in this.

Don't sweat it. We've all been there before. There should be a sticky in one of these sub-forums with a TON of information about what everything is.
And yes, the kernel and radio are not the same. Think of the kernel as the engine powering everything and the radio as what interprets the signal you get from your provider. It's a bit simplified, but it's an accurate description. As long as you avoid flashing T-Mobile modems and radios you should be in the clear. To be honest, I've messed with radios before and it's really not worth the hassle 9 times out of 10 so you're really not missing out being with Videotron.

I have no doubt that stock kernel is and always will be the best kernel possible for this phone. Sammy has done a great job! Kernel devs will do their job(fix and break what they fixed before then break it again so you become a flash addict) but stock kernel will remain the best choice at the end.

SmartassV2/SIO. Not to mention overclocking and other optimizations.
Your argument is invalid.

And flash some roms and kernel just to try can break the phone? Will the performance will stay the samdme?
And thank you for all your answer.

Sorry if it's it's off topic . I want to flash my kernel with Trinity
I'm wondering which is compatible, due to many many files for different roms and etc, for my phone which is Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999, rooted and stock everything. I'm also a noob , too. Brick my phone once and i don't want it to get replaced . LOL .
And I also want to install the AwsomeBeats v3 mod . Is this mod compatible for all Android phone ?
Any suggestions or help will be much appreciated .

It's possible, but not likely. If it was that easy to break the phone there wouldn't be such things as nightlies (ROMs that are updated pretty much every week night). I've had a few instances where I flashed the proper kernel, but it wasn't compatible with my phone. It's a simple enough fix, but nothing close to soft or hard bricking my phone just by flashing. Just make sure you don't do anything stupid like removing the battery mid flash, run out of battery mid flash, flash a ROM for a different carrier, flash a kernel for the wrong carrier (although kernels aren't TOO picky).

To be honest I was interested in trying Trinity myself, but gave up on that. I couldn't figure out what the hell was what and which was the most recent due to the naming of the different versions. Unless there's something you REALLY want that only Trinity offers my only recommendation is to move on. Or find someone here who has a signature saying they use Trinity and ask them which version you want.

I'm glad you are happy with the stock kernel. However, not every kernel works the same for everyone. Therefore, stock is not the right choice for everyone.

Coolest Rom?

I tried to install latest illusion and liquid JB 2.4 but dont like them, internet doesnt work on liquid jb and there is also no market app on either one, not sure if its the ROMS or my installation.
Now can any one plese help me to find the rom that has best features (good bettery life could be a bonus).
thanks in advance.

Your install process is way off. There are support threads and q&a's and instructions in the OP of the thread... No such thing as a "coolest rom" try them for your self with proper install procedures before saying they're ugly or don't work.

Coolest ROM?
That made me laugh.
You need to go through and pick which ROM or ROMs fit your needs. No one can pick a ROM for you, another members ideal ROM may not be your ideal ROM.
As for the installation process and having certain apps not being there or not working properly, you need to read the first post of the thread, also know as the OP. Reading it will let you know what to download and how to install/flash it through recovery.
Here's some advice that will save you in the future:
-read the first post/op of each thread
-have questions or problems with the ROM? Read the first and last 10 pages of the thread, if the problem isn't addressed or your question isn't answered, then politely ask for help.
-Google is your "friend", usually typing your issue followed by xda in the search bar and you'll find what your looking for

Ok thanks for your help guys. i'm not sure what i did wrong. here are the steps that did and one of you might be able to help me.
Downloaded odin and rooted and installed cwm through GalaxyS3RootUSCanada.zip (http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/)
Downloaded the Rom and installed it --> cleared cache etc.
Now is there a problem with installing CWM throuth this file?

Why didn't you just use the toolkit stickied in development? I know nothing about the software you linked to.

Maybe you should read the op before installing something.
Clearly says you have to flash gapps after flashing liquidsmooth. This is why you don't have the playstore.

Agree here. Never understood why folks would go to that site, then come here to find support for it.
Either root66 or cf-autoroot is the best and easiest imo.

Beats me but I won't give support for things sourced outside of XDA. Not just because XDA always has the best but because I know nothing about external offerings.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Khanbaba59, there is no "cool rom" so to speak. You have to read up on which is best for you, then try them. Be sure to READ the OP on installation process to avoid anything going wrong.
As your questions have been answered, I will close this now as it will cause confusion and bickering about roms.

What he's trying to tell you is that there are many 4.2.2 ROMs, and they're all a little different (some are very different), so he can't send you a link, because there are like 20.
There isn't one from Samsung (official, in other words) yet -- there may never be -- so if that's what you're thinking, you're at the latest version available already.
soupysoup, is there a COOK 4.2.2 ROM for *some* manufacturer (e.g., Jedi Mind Trick is for T989s)? I'm wondering if he means ROOT, but I thought I'd ask.

I would be scared to point a finger in any direction. LOL. Probably a language barrier.....but if the OP doesn't read exactly what to do AND understand it, his next thread will be about a brick.

It's not any more complicated. Don't worry about odex and stuff. Just stay in the development threads here and flash what you like. Not trying to be mean here but these types of threads are not necessary. Just make a nandroid and flash away and see what best fits your needs. Each rom is subject to opinion. I use slimfast and have had no issues with it.

I keep asking questions, and you give me other replies rather than answers... If might be straightforward and easy for you. and maybe screwing around with a $350 phone is no issue for you.. but me.. not so much.
"In theory you should be fine if you do dirty flash from another 4.3 rom such as DN3 v1.0 or SN10
We recommend TWRP 2.6.3.1 to flash this rom.
You need 4.3 boot loader.
Have both TWRP and latest CWM on your external SD Card along with Ditto Note 3.1.1
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.1, go into Wipe and slide to do the Factory Reset."
This is not straight forward to me.. since I have no idea if I have a 4.3 bootloader - says I HAVE TO HAVE ONE.
TWRP is at 2.7 now .. is there a reason he says to use 2.6.3.1??? on a rom that was updated 3 days ago??
These are the things that bother me.. I am not interested in bricking my phone.
If you dont want to help.. fine, But explanations for the terms used above are not coming up in searches, unless I want to read a ton of threads.. so I thought someone might answer for me.

If that's what the developer says to use then use it. I would say he knows why to use 2.6.3.1 but that's not really important. Samsung phones are very hard to brick if you follow the directions. I'm no expert dude, all I do is follow the directions in the OP. If you do that you will be fine. What were you running prior to slim fast? If you're not sure you have the bootloader you can just flash it again.
