Hey guys, I wanted to install AOKP or another mod. The thing is, when I go on their website, I can't see a build for my phone(or it might be there, I just don't know what to look for). I have a t999v with videotron and it's currently running stock 4.1.1.
I should be fine once someone points me in the right direction since I do have some knowledge and experience with technology. Android just isn't my thing. Thanks!
First you need to root go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687 and read next install what ever rim you want
Hi
right now I'm at 4.1.1 official rooted rom from ATT but would like to upgrade my i747 to 4.3 . (I know everyone wants to)
Can anyone tell me the exact procedure how can I achieve that by building a rom for myself.
or is it not possible until google releases some special code
I know this question is a little vague but I wish to start learning development for android by building a rom for my phone

No one is going to tell u how to "build a rom" in a single post! U have to research, read everything that u can. I'm sure people will be glad to help with questions u have along the way after u have learned the basics of what it takes, but it's sort of ludicrous to ask such a vague question.

Might want to check out this thread for starters...
It would be easiest for someone starting out (like myself) to wait for cm to get 4.3 booting and then start..so you know if you broke it or not. That's what someone told me. Feel free to do what you want

Ok so I'm curious of why I'm not able to update from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2 or 4.3. Any time I try to update, it tells me that I'm already up to date. Now I'm wanting the new CyanogenMod, I'm craving it...
When installing gapps is it a MUST to use gapps for 4.1.1 or can I use the ones from 4.2.2? I use Clock Work Recovery Premium but it's not installing google apps with it. It kind of erks me in a way...
So I'm at a complete loss... is it possible to get 4.2 or am I stuck with 4.1?
I'm running a SGH-I747.
Please hit me up asap!

Ok...you are not ready to do what you are asking. Are you even rooted? If you have no idea then you need to stop because you are not even close to being ready to install custom roms. You need to do some extensive reading. Everything about installing custom roms has been covered beyond extensively on this forum and many others. XDA is not designed to hand you the answers on some quick and easy to use instructions and for good reason. You need to know what you are doing and to do that you need to search and read...a lot. If you have a specific problem that has not been addressed in these forums then we will try to help you but don't expect a step by step walkthrough to your post here.

Oh boy.... where can I start... Welcome!! Now, The reason why you can't update to 4.1.1 to 4.3 is because currently, 4.1.1 is the latest update on your phone. But you should be able to update to 4.1.2... I am guessing you are using an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3.
In order to get 4.2.2 (or later 4.3), your phone has to be rooted and you need to have a custom recovery (ClockworkMod or TWRP). Rooting basically enables root directories so that you can modify your phone.
Here is a place to get you started.

Keep in mind that rooting your phone WILL VOID your phone's warranty.

OK...Now for me not to sound totally like an @$$. Welcome!!! These are definitely some of the best places to start but please do not let it be the only ones you look at. Before you plunge in to root and install custom roms please read peoples experiences and issues they have had throughout the various threads. This will aid you in resolving any problems you may have during the processes you are trying and helps you get a better understanding of your phone. Please make sure that prior to trying to root, you look up information about losing and restoring of your IMEI and tripping your flash counter. As stated above, rooting will VOID your warranty so this is done at your own risk. If you follow instructions closely you should not have any major issues.
I'm sorry gentlemen, this was typed so quick I may have sounded ignorant to the "rooting world".
I know how to successfully root and install custom roms, but my question was so distorted and didn't make sense because I had just got off a 17 hour shift.
I am currently running Cyanogenmod 10 on my SGH-I747, with 4.1.1 gapps. I was having an issue installing Cyanogenmod 10.1 because my phone was 4.1.1.(why it wouldn't work) I was trying to question the fact of, is it possible to upgrade to a 4.2.2 rom and keep the latest version of Cyanogenmod?
Just hearing rumors about a 4.2.2 ROM excites me, but it being a ROM in its self, how can I run Cyanogenmod with it?
I love the feel of mod but if 4.2.2 is better, flexible and faster... I would love to have it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm still a little confused as to what you are asking. There are several versions of Cyanogenmod. CM 10.0 is a 4.1.2 ROM. CM 10.1.2 is a 4.2.2 ROM.

I don't really understand what you are trying to say. You can't install CyanogenMod 10.1 at all? What does the error say exactly? Please be a bit more clear so I can help you out
Are you installing the wrong gapps version? If you are flashing Cm10.1 (4.2.2), you need to flash gapps 4.2.2, not gapps 4.1.1.

That clarifies everything I needed to know...
I was trying to install 4.1.1 gapps with 10.1 cyan...
Thanks man, I have to try it out!
Hey Guys,
First off, thanks to all the devs on here for working hard! Without you guys, we wouldn't be anywhere on our phones.
I haven't flashed my GNexus in a year now.
I am currently running 4.2.1 (JellyBean) JBSourcery-V4.3 and my radio bandwith is I515.10 V.FF02/1515.FG02
I would like to update this bad boy to the latest Radio, as well as run a bug-free ROM/Kernel.
I know that JBSourcery didn't create roms for KitKat. But I did love their work and will miss them!
What would you guys recommend?
Btw, I have the GNexus with Verizon Wireless!
Thanks!:fingers-crossed:
P.S. - Any links to the downloads would help out so much!
In addition, should I flash the Radio first and then the ROM/Kernel?
How do I flash again? It's been over a year I haven't flashed and don't want to brick my phone as I am going from JellyBean to KitKat.

I'm not sure about the radio as that is not something I am familiar with, but a quick snoop around XDA lead me to the main GNexus Q&A forums (
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help) and this thread which includes a section about installing ROMs, Kernels and Tweaks (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/guide-ultimate-nexus-4-root-guide-t2018179)
Thanks for your response!
However, I'm still trying to figure out when I am going from JellyBean to KitKat, how am I supposed to install a radio/ROM/Kernel?
I read those instructions and I think it pertains to only if your on the same operating system (like going from JellyBean to JellyBean).
Also, I'm not sure if I should update the newer VZW radio or should I keep the one I am on? (I515.10 V.FF02/1515.FG02)
Can anyone else please help me?
Hello all,
Not new at all to rooting and roms, the problem I'm having is trying to figure out what I might need to do in order to get my phone up and running the way I want. I'm currently rooted running Android version 4.4.4. I'm still on the stock TouchWiz. I was wondering if there are any roms out there for this android version. All I can really seem to find on the site are 5.0 and above. I really don't want to upgrade if I don't have to, but I really want something highly customizable if it exists. There have always been plenty of great roms out there for Samsung devices...was hoping maybe someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks to all in advance!
Look in the development section. You'll have to drill down but there are Kitkat roms there.
Your missing out on some great stuff staying on Kitkat.
