Hi all, I'm a newbie. I currently have three things I want to learn how to do to my Samsung Galaxy SII (Epic 4G) 1) Root it 2) Install Jelly Bean 3) Install SIII theme This is a Sprint phone flashed to Page Plus. Will it cause me to have to get the phone flashed again? Thanks in advance and I would appreciate help.
If you go here you can read and download everything you probably need to stock root via PC Odin one clicks (much thanks to devs theyre awesome and make it easy)
Once you've one clicked and green light for pass then you should be able to boot up and find super user or super su and have root.
Then search threads and forums for the rom or roms you want and read, read, read the how to's..then read some more.
Find the rom you desire and follow the op and should be good.
SG3 style rom that is crazy good is gdings touched by sgs3 its awesome as well as this jellyverse is amazing.
When in doubt..read...read...read..dont guess or you'll [email protected]#$ your phone...thats my experience.
Have fun and good luck

I would go to the dev section and read ALL the Sticky threads thoroughly, then use sfhub's auto root in case you're not rooted to gain ROOT. Then I would go with a tw rom like calkulin's Fe22, or if its themes you like you could go with wicked sensations from dazed and confused (team venum) or any of the team rejects roms. Just please read the stickies like 5 times.

I am not a dev at all just a flash junkie. I would read up on "FULL RESTORE ROOTED EL29" you can search the for the forum in the development section. Check out all of the roms and just ask questions. One you are rooted its pretty simple if you follow directions well. I'm running Dazed and Confused romantic now but I switched between him and Mijjz roms like his Goodness rom, he has a ton of roms and all of these are themed already.

I mean Dazed and Confused rom not romantic. If you have any more questions just ask man. Good luck and have fun. Just remember to read and follow directions
Just a tip
I would also recommend watching some of QBKing77's youtube videos as well if you have never flashed a Rom before. He pretty much goes step by step through the entire process. He has videos that show you how to root, how to install clockwork mod and then videos on how to install many of the Roms that you will find in the development section as well as reviews for each. QBKing77 was pretty much invaluable to me when I was getting started myself. Thanks to him and following the advice to read through the development section over and over before I started I've stayed brick free and flashed most of the ICS Roms safely.
Had my S2 flashed to cricket. Want to Root and use this beautiful ROM I found. Is this possible? Need a safe way to Root..

you are going to have to do your homework my friend and get your hands dirty.I see people in here flashing roms from other carriers all the time. The most I see is fixes for mms. Honestly its a great forum but if you want to root your phone then you should also learn how to fix it if something goes wrong. With that said there are plenty of tutorials int he development section. Plenty of wikis in the development section and plenty of questions already asked and answered. Take some time skim through and enjoy.
I could of easily of pointed you in the direction you needed to go but quite honestly finding it yourself and learning a little something is a great start. Not trying to discourage you just trying to get you going the right way...

one other word of advice please read up on the brick bug and there are safe versions of CWM to use. That's important my friend
So i finally rooted my LGOG v9. Finally!!! Now i want to flash because i cant wait for jelly bean. But im like so clueless. Like what are gaaps?? can someone please show me how to flash a good cm roms. Or make a vid!!!!
You should google first, I know everyone was a first timer at one point, but at least try googling how to use recovery to flash roms.
Do that, and follow the OP installation instructions, and you'll be fine.

Don't think that Rom will work for him. Chances are he has upgraded to the latest version of LG's firmware. And I doubt he will have luck trying to downgrade. Maybe link him to Houston's jb leaks. They flash problem free without having to downgrade.

Your best bet is to read, read, read. Each device may respond a little bit differently to each ROM, and what apps you install can have an effect as well. It can be a long process, but the only way to say what ROM works for you is to try it
Closing thread
Hey guys, I know I'm new, I mean, like ONE DAY new, but I've been posting around, and trying to help people out.
So, my question is, how in the H*ll do you install a custom ROM?
I've been seeing things ALL OVER the place about "Oh this ROM is Soooooooo coooolll!" but I have yet to find a decent tutorial on how to install one.
Do I just flash it on? And, if so, should I even get a custom ROM if I have no Nandroid backup?
Also, what's the average size of a ROM, and in your opinion, what would be the best ROM for this phone?

Follow the directions there after you read and do the stickies in the top threads of that forum.

so to add a bit more to this you should go in and read the everything about the Glide.
read that will pretty much walk you through the rooting of your glide and backing up of your special esf folder and the backing up at your ROM.
then you're going to update your rom to the latest version that's available which is 4.0 4 and then you're going to follow that thread that I linked
that will get you to the light ROM and the light kernel.

Thanks.
I'm already update to 4.04, so hopefully it'll be easier.

no two diff fone models with same specs. makes no sense dude.
I don't think those 2 are compatible. but pls report back
Agreed, glad there are mods to unbloat devices
Great, works well!
Thanks for taking the time to create the mod.
Testing - I put this mod and tested the StockNE4 Lite mods on my Samsung Tab3 Lite and they have both worked really well. I used the "Philz Recovery" to flash my device. Though I also tried CWN and it works well too.

Been using this for over 6 months now. Seems okay. Not the fastest, but works well and is a solid build to work off.

Yea cyanogenmod is a ROM.
CriskeloROM is also a ROM.
CriskeloROM ROM is available for SM-T110 but Cyanogenmod hasn't build a ROM for SM-T110 Samsung Galaxy Tablet Lite 3.
I had this ROM installed, but a few things turned me off of it and decided to go back to stock.
A. i can root stock ROM myself
2. I therefore wont have a big ass paypal button in my settings (which is a bit ****ty since removing the module with titanium backup doiesnt get rid of it)
C. It still has the stock 'light' touchwiz UI, which is horrible as. Take a page out of AOSP's book and use holo dark
Hello!
Thanks for this rom, it feels a lot better than the stock one.
Everything is alright except two problems:
1. I've updated youtube app and it crashes everytime i open it. I tried to reinstall it but it still crashes. I guess this problem is because of "black youtube" addon. So is there any way to remove it?
2.This problem maybe not concerns this rom: Tablet often reboots when i lock the screen after using it for a while.
Thanks in advance
PS: Sorry for my bad english if i've made some mistakes
The download link no longer works. Is it possible to get a new one?
The instructions say you have to install with Full wipe and root fix and stock recovery then it says after first reboot you can flash Phil's recovery. Does that mean il be flashing multiple files at once? And is there a special way to do that?

I think I know how to do it now, all I need is a download link to the root fix. The link on the op is dead can anyone else upload it please?
