Suggestions welcome

well depending on if you want to stay on GB or go to ICS, I haven't moved to ics yet probably wont until source code is out, but so far my favorite rom has to be the tnz blend 3.0 by mijjah. has no bugs that ive found, and is very snappy. been using it as my daily driver for awhile now. think for fun im going to run blazer today. ill let you know what i think

Make sure to read up on this before looking at ICS builds:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525495

I would take the jump and try out some ICS, its really all there for the most part and is more fun to play with than GB IMHO. Check out "The Goodness" by Mijjah, by far my favorite ICS rom out there.

HyDrA tablet/phone hybrid is very nice if you want ICS. For GB I would stick to TNz Blend or Calkulins ROMs as they are both tweaked to be fast ans smooth.

Try out Blu Kuban by Rujelus, he offers both a GB and an ICS version. Any of Calkulin's work for either GB or ICS. Agat63, Venum (Anakonda and Ice are fantastic), MIJJz. Of course the safest route is always sfhub's one-click packages to get a taste of the OS before adding in the extra sweetness of custom ROMs.
But as garwynn said, please read extensively before you do anything in ICS, heck even in Gingerbread.

The Hydra rom is nice, but I wouldn't suggest that to someone that just got an E4GT. Too experimental for someone that hasn't flashed a few roms first. But like I said, a very nice rom indeed! Everyday It seems I wake up to different "goodies" and I'm truely feeling the addiction. Finally I'm seeing a great community which makes it easier on everyone and leads to great roms. You will love this phone if you don't already

be care full when flasing from one ICS rom to another
I just recently bricked my epic when going from one ICS rom to the Slim rom below. The page where this rom is is just below. The phrase at the beginning of the page was not put there when i was first looking at rom but now has been updated. Always flash back to a stock rom before you flash to another ICS rom for sure. Not even just flashing an EL26 kernel is enough to keep it from getting bricked. Other than that your going to really like this phone XDA has been really active in creating mod roms for months now and there a lot of GB and ICS options now. Patrick

Sorry about your luck. Did you flash he el26 kernel through a ICS recovery or Odin/Mobile Odin? I have flashed almost every ICS ROM including Slim-N-Trim with no issue. You MUST ALWAYS use el26+cwm to avoid bricks, but bad dl or flash can still happen even using it. I always do an MD5 check before flashing anything, even if I have flashed it before as data can become corrupted over time. You don't have to go back to a full GB ROM, but can if you choose. I just Mobile Odin the el26+cwm tar and reboot into recovery, then wipe and flash as usually instructed in the OP's.

Yup I flashed the el26 kernel though the mobile odin.. I have used this same el26 in the past on many many flashes and have not had an issue like this at all. And it has the CWM 5 embedded so i can boot immediately into recovery to use calkilins format all. Thats why i cant figure out why this happened to me in the first place.

That's what I'm on now is the Blu Kuben- and I must say the Dev is right there to solve any issues that come up!! Been uesing it for a few days now - gist flashed the Fe21 modem and so far so good! + it is the only rom I found so far that lets you customize as you wish-
I have ran the other roms that are in the above post and have had very good luck with
all of them.
---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------
Let me clear that up - the Dev AND Others in the Development thread are there to help and since I don't post much ( have thanked and donated to a few) I look at all the post and the Op - this has helped a lot as I really haven't had many issues to begin with , with this rom, but the ones I have had - have been addressed by just looking at others solutions - so far I love this rom and cannot wait for the new update to drop - soon maybe?

Question Blu Kuban 1.0.3.5
If the Update and the download the same , I am on the 1.0.3.4 but don't see the update, can I download the full and use that to update without doing a wipe.
Thank you

I think I will be trying to use Odin for my flashing until the bug gets worked out as my memory is susceptible to brick error. Probably after that too, I do like it.

Best ICS touchwiz Rom?????????

So I am asking cause I flash these Roms for a friend of mine at work he is a good friend but I don't have time test all these roms for him and I hate doing it at work with him . So what I am asking in everyone's opinion is what is most importantly the most STABLE ics touchwiz Rom as close to stock tpuchwiz as possible, he likes aosp but is a noob and I think a rock stable touchwiz ROM will suit him better since I can't test these roms out myself what Rom do you suggest also as close to stock please

Its one thing flashing your own phone to ics but why would you risk someone elses phone? Its not worth bricking a good friends phone, stay with GB until the release of ICS is final, stable and SAFE. (do as I say not as I do )

Back in May I installed the "leaked" ICS rom but it seemed a bit jumpy. I watched a lot of QBKings Rom reviews and installation instructions and decided to flash the Frankenstein Rom. I was pleased with that and they just released a new version that ironed out some bugs they had with the previous version (I did not install that). All this being said I really was intrigued by the Blu Kuban Rom and used ODIN to get to CWM and flashed this particular ROM.
They have a lot of testers with this ROM and now are part of Team Venum and have the support of them as well. This ROM has a built in ROM updater and the updater is very smooth. As was mentioned before, if this is your friends phone, well you know I had a samsung moment that I played around with before getting my E4GT. I was hesitant to do anything with it until the "Official" ICS build was released, but Jelly Bean may come out before that is ever released. Good luck.

You should have your friend look at qbking videos since you can't test them your friend can watch the review and how to videos have him search through threads so he can see which roms are stable and suitable for him. Everyone is different and every rom is different I think it's safer that way so he can't blame you if something goes wrong which 9 times out of 10 if your following the easy steps nothing should go wrong.

Ive tried many roms.. so far im having good luc with calks tw ics v1. 6.. then flashed the ff09 kernel. And modem so im up to date.. its very stable and so far no issues. And its rooted.. just tell him not to flash anything in recovery and you will be fine.. if he wants to flash things show him the right way (get to gb kernel with recovery).. and yes you take a risk of bricking the phone, but not if you know what your doing.. or u can listen to others and tell him to wait.. calks is great tho, mhl adapter works, 4g, 3g, mms, sms, wifi etc etc.. can even flash kobridge tweaks etc..

I have already flashed ics on his phone so I am not worried about that I am pretty good at reading up before I do anything and no all the basic commands, I just am tired of doing it for him and he is afraid to do it himself so I am going to find a stable ROM and tell him ill update it when I can I put aokp on his phone now but he doesn't like that he can't toggle the 4g like on a touchwiz Rom ,,,,, anyway I have read and team venom does seam to.be pretty stable but it is heavily themed I don't like that and neither will he thanks guys ,,,, on th team calk I flashed that before v1.3 I think but he could not install certain apps

Not to be rude about your friend, but someone scared and unable to flash their own phone, should not have root access. There are just too many user errors that they could make and then try to hold you responsible. Significant others is different, but a buddy at work just seems to risky. Like I said not trying to be rude, I know your just trying to be a good friend. The 1-clicks are idiot proof and maybe you can offer him advice and help him learn so that you are no longer responsible for his phone.

I would have to say, the stock Koodo 4.0.4 ROM. It's the only ROM that I'm able to flash on my phone through Odin that is completely clean of anything custom.
Helps when trying to troubleshoot installing custom ROMs with pretty much a clean slate on the phone. Cheers!

Hehe nice to meet a fellow O1 owner. I came from the Optimus One P500.
Oh, this phone can run on Skyrocket ROMs. Just flash a rotation fix and bam.
On topic, I think I prefer the CM10 nightlies as I keep going back to them over and over. However, I'm starting to use the Touchwiz 4.1.2 UCLL3 leak for the skyrocket. And also the stock Koodo ROM mentioned above was alwaysy previous choice. I still want to go back to it because its clean, no bloat at all.
Enjoy your stay!

wow good news. I didn't know we can run skyrocket rom
what is d2tmo? I thought that is for galaxy SIII ? as I am reading in liquidsmooth dev thread
I like vanilla aosp experience but I will not disregard stock samsung touchwiz rom either
I consider stock samsung rom as vanilla experience in it's own world
now that you mention 4.1.2 leak from skyrocket I may try that if it stable.
on second thought maybe I stay with koodo rom
I still got a lot to read in this whole new phone...

You are correct about 'd2tmo' being a GS3 ROM. Whatever you do, DO NOT FLASH IT! There are already enough posts on here with a person saying they 'bricked' their phone.
If you are still planning to flash a custom ROM, my recommendation would be trying one of the All-Star Devs ROMs. There are too many ROMs to link, but if you search up for threads created by Tmogalaxys2 or android88 in the 'Development Section' you will find any of the Team's ROMs.
Hitting the image on the right of my signature will also lead you to one of the ROMs. Good luck!

Correct, the All-Star version is basically the same as the official Liquid Smooth ROM with extra features. If you are asking your question in regards to flashing the ROM through internal memory, yes, it is possible. Just place the ROM files on the root of your phone.
Also, rather than using CWM recover it is recommended to install and use TWRP 2.3.3.0 on your phone as it is a more up to date recovery system.

If I understand you correctly, you want access to settings through the 'notification bar'? Almost all custom ROMs now should have an option to add "Power Widgets" in the notification for quick access to certain settings if that's what you're looking for.

To the OP, I keep going back to PACman rom. In my opinion it is the best of cm10, AOKP and ParanoidAndroid, though going through the settings can be a little confusing to a newbie since AOKP's Rom Control and CM10 seem to redouble some of each others settings including toggles in the notification drawer (you will notice two sets of toggles active when you first boot the rom). That's the only problem I have with it. (Isn't it great when you can complain about having too many options?)

Kooodo stock rom that I have customized a tiny bit (deodexed with a couple simple mods). Its fast, stable, and has great battery

I always go back to darthstalker version 4. Favorite rom so far, only feature i really wanna keep that no other rom(touchwiz roms) has (maybe i'm wrong) is the ability to record phone calls, and the crt effect. I love touchwiz from the s3.

Which Rom are you running and why?

Tell everyone which Rom you're running and what you do or don't like about it. I figured the thread would be nice for people looking for roms to try and hear personal experiences with them instead of just a description.
I tried pacman last night but screwed something up (there is an insane amount of options) and went back to stock for now. I know how to change what I did no so I'll probably reflash later. Happy flashing!!

Nothing yet, but definitely Venom/Viper when available for Verizon One. I had the HTC One for a bit and was able to try many. This one just plain out rocks. You can see a thread about it just a few down from this. Watch the video about it as well. So many mods, tweaks etc and just plain out runs...

I'm currently running v2 of hawknest ' EclipticONE. It is based off the stock rom so it runs 4.2.2 and sense 5 with tweaks. It is *inverted sense*. I love it there because of the dark colors of everything. It is very stable with only slight issues so far with the play store but nothing that can't be fixed!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46261233

Currently running CM10.2 and I like it a lot. I've used AOSP on my previous 3 smartphones. Everything is working great for me except I cannot get a GPS lock whatsoever. The fix according to some forum posts would be to flash a Sense ROM to get a lock and reflash CM. I'm going to flash GPE to play around and see how that is.

running CM10.2 until Liquid can gett calls working on that rom. I much prefer liquid (a couple more tweaks) but I need my phone to be a phone

PAC-Man here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455127
I really like some of the features from Paranoid, and this is the closest to getting them. Plus I have a soft spot for the mix type of Roms, having a similar one on my HP Touchpad.

I just installed and am setting up VanirAOSP. So far, so good. I tried CM 10.2 yesterday but it was a little flaky. I'm looking forward to trying Venom.

Also running EclipticONE. Love the inverted sense and I really wanted to keep the stock camera since I'm crazy about the zoe feature. Using Apex Launcher anyway so blinkfeed is not an issue for me. The ROM has been zippy and bug free.

VanirAOSP because it has PIE, Halo, and IR blaster support. I absolutely love this ROM. Plus, Sonic is the dev behind it and he is quite awesome!

No clue. Maybe because Vanir is built off AOSP while PAC is built off CM? That's a stretch though.

I'm running Vanir at the moment. Very simple, great customization options and everything works well without any major hitches.
Looking forward to trying out Carbon soon; loved the ROM on my DNA and would love to see how it fares on the One.

Vanir is going to be different than stock ROM and Bonestock in regards to TiBu. Vanir is on 4.3 AND it is built off AOSP. You need to change the backup folder for those ROMs otherwise it will not work. I just cant remember if changing the backup folder is because of 4.3 or because its built off AOSP. Its one of those (or both).

As I posted in the CM10 thread:
FYI - I learned that there's an issue with restoring apps with Titanium Backup and Android 4.3. You have to change your backup location to: /storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup from /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup otherwise your restore will get stuck at 0%.

Question On Moving To A KitKat v.4.4.x ROM

Hey Everyone,
I'm currently running [ROM][TW4.3][MK3] ヅ Wicked Sensations Rom as my daily driver.
I am now considering moving to a KitKat 4.4.x ROM. I've done a bit of research and I've narrowed it down to the following:
1. - CandyKat 4.4.4
2. - **C-RoM** -***4.4.4***
3. - [ROM] [4.4.x] CyanFox Rom [OFFICIAL]
Now, for a few questions/points:
- Will I have any compatibility issues moving to one of these ROMs, coming from Wicked Sensations TW4.3/MK3?
- Do I have to flash a special version of either the Kernel or Modem to make these work correctly?
- Does anyone know if there are any glaring issues with these ROMs, more specifically, Bluetooth issues?
- As usual, looking for a ligh-weight, yet powerful and customizable, kick-ass ROM.
- I love the way that CandyKat uses the Aroma installer for custom theme options, that's pretty awesome.
- Any thing that I should consider before moving to one of these ROMs?
- Any feedback from those that are currently using one of these ROMs or perhaps suggestions on another ROM that I should also consider?
Thanks!

Cyanfox is on it's dead end. There are many others like PA,Carbon, CM, (The two I'm developing) Schism & MerkMod. I'll start at PA

You might consider Wicked X v7.3. Clear instructions in the OP on how to odin the nd8 rooted ROM. Comes with custom kernel and a boatload of themes. If you like tw and are familiar with wicked sensations this is well Worth a look. Been running this for quite a while and get great mileage on it and the modem is better than the mk3 IMO.

LoaderBoy,
I'm currently running [ROM][TW4.3][MK3] ヅ Wicked Sensations Rom as my daily driver. Can I go from Wicked Sensations TW4.3/MK3 to any of the 2-3 KitKat ROMs that I initially listed?
Do I need to flash any special kernels or mods in recovery in order to make my phone work correctly with those ROMs?
Thanks,
BJ

ROMs usually come with a working kernel. Anything special they need should be posted in the OP of each ROM thread.

The rom that I suggested Requires that you take the OTA update or odin ND8 stock Kit Kat. This might not be what you are looking for.
The ones you listed I am not familiar with but at a glance you should not have any trouble flashing those. All roms need the occasional tweak or trying different kernels or modems. The best I can tell you is READ and then read some more.
I usually get about 50 to 100 pages into a thread before I flash a new rom.
Best of luck, Mark

If your going with touch wiz go with wicked x if your wanting to go aosp give vanir a run,I ran just about all the ROMs here and I have to say for touch wiz is great but vanir right now is so smooth and fast.I can't believe no one talks about it.latest nightly is 08/13/14 .its 4.4.4 , anyway which ever you try iam sure you will be satisfied. Good luck!

Just another heads up, switching to any AOSP or CM based Rom will cause lower signal strength Than touchwiz. While on Touchwiz, I get LTE in a lot of places but, when is switch to any CM based Rom, I'm usually stuck with 3g.

Everyone,
Besides 'Wicked X' and the 'Vanir' Nightlies...are there any rock-solid and stable KitKat v.4.4.4 ROMS out there for the Sprint SGS3? Last night for example, I flashed 'C-RoM'.
It booted up once and all seemed perfect. Then while I was going through the setup process, it rebooted for no apparent reason, then got stuck in an endless boot-loop cycle. Nothing I did worked to get it unstuck out of that boot-loop cycle.
Then as a desperate attempt, I went into Recovery and chose 'Fix Permissions'. Somehow that did something, because afterwards it rebooted perfectly.
I then finished up the setup process and began installing apps. I did a reboot (I forgot why) and then the boot-loop cycle began once again.
Now, even if I do 'Fix Permissions'...nothing will get it out of the boot-loop cycle.
Any ideas/suggestions? I sure hope that the hardware isn't damaged. Has anyone ever seen this type of an issue?
Thanks!
BJ

That would be a question best asked on that ROMs thread.

Yes totally, but I wasn't being ROM specific on my last post. I was just curious if anyone has seen this in general. My concern is that perhaps there could be some damage to the actual hardware.
** Also, are there more issues w/ 4.4.4 ROMs than 4.4.x ROMs? Which are the most recommended KitKat ROMs? I really liked the feel of C-RoM, but their Forum is fairly dead so they may not have much of a community.

Did you do a clean flash when installing?
Also, what recovery are you using? I recommend Philz recovery.

Also, to answer a few of your questions in the OP: I am on CM11 20140812 Nightly and all features are bug-free for me.
When flashing, you needn't worry about modems or kernels, unless you want a custom kernel. (I'm using the DKP kernel.) I would avoid modems altogether, as flashing more recent modems will not function without Knox.

Higgs_Boson,
Thank you very much for responding. Could you please give me the link to the thread to the 'CM11 20140812' ROM that you're using? I'm having a heck of a time finding the right ROM for my device and I want to make sure that I don't brick my phone. As far as 'Recovery', I currently use TWRP v.2.7.0.0.
Also, is there a current version of Paranoid Android (KitKat) for our phones? I thought I found it, but the thread is closed and the ROM download link isn't working and the groups website has vanished.
Thanks!
BJ

Yes, Paranoid Android does work on our phones. I used to run it as my daily driver and loved it. Recently, I moved to CM11, as I wanted some of the features on CM11 that PA didn't have.
Paranoid Android:
http://aospal.hostingsharedbox.com/aospal/roms/d2lte/
CyanogenMod:
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2lte
FYI, in the future always look for ROMs for d2lte, as most have moved to unified builds.
So, just Google your desired ROM and d2lte and you should be able to locate a download link.

Thank you Sir!!

+1 on Philz recovery. Seems to have the least problems of all of them. Also when switching between touch wiz and asop be sure to wipe everything. Dalvic cache, data and internal SD card.

No need to format the sd card, as wiping personal files will do nothing to assist in flashing a ROM. To flash a ROM, one needs only to wipe /system, /data, /cache, and dalvik cache.
(Formatting /system wipes the OS and system apps off the memory partition; /data wipes user apps and data; /cache obviously wipes temporarily stored data off the partition; and dalvik wipes the pre-compiled drawings and app info.)
That's why I like PhilZ. There is a format option solely for the purpose of erasing partitions to flash a new ROM. It removes the guesswork.
