Many thanks Ghost45. the storage is fine now. However, I find that google play store keep prompting the infamous (rpc:s-5:aec-0) error for me now. Tried remove the google account and add it back and it worked for a while but then it keep happening again. Not sure if it's related to the firmware or not.

Thank you very much ghost. I installed the rom and I love it. Very nice:good:
I have two questions:
1- Why don't you provide us with recovery installable zips?
2- I had purchased and installed navitel app before I flash your rom. After flashing your rom,my device id is changed and my app cannot be registered. I don't know what this device id is. But I am pretty sure that it is not the phone serial number nor the android-id. Navitel support says that the device id is not changed if we update the official OS and this happens only in the case of custom roms. Do you have any idea what is changed in your rom and if we can restore it from official OS?
Sorry for the long question, and thank you again for the perfect work

//I AM STILL TYPING AND WILL TAKE TIME << SO DONT REPLY
i had typed and mistakenly deleted the tab before clicking post :|...i will delete these two lines once i am done with everything//
guys!
something we are all familiar with on galaxy grand forum is spamming!
indeed there are still many users/new users who post WRONG POSTS in WRONG SECTIONS..
still u can find questions which are off-topic/not related to forum/which have been answered several times/which have been asked several times by making new threads etc.
it not only takes up unnecessary space on server, but also lowers the value of GALAXY GRAND DUOS community..
developers getting pissed by day to day ETA's and helpers pissed by posting same and same answer, to several people !
i do know that xda's search option on top right might be not that accurate for some here,
SO
here i am here making an illustrative thread,(after discussing and opinions from many on xda)
WHICH will not only help you to solve ur problems regarding roms, but also day to day frequently asked multiple times answered questions....
its possible that it does not contain everything that u need , but seriously guys, it will at least decrease number of SPAMS on our threads...
all problems will be mostly illustrated below.........
just read it once please before posting in all other forums....
Few Information better read before any Posting!! (most Important..)1. AOSP based Rom/ Non touchwiz Rom (cm11/carbon,resurection remix, paranoid android,Pac-man ,Omni,and others)DO NOT support DUAL SIM Functionality..(it Requires Broadcomm Specific Codes which are not released as Open Source)...
you want Dual Sim , be On any touchWiz based Rom(Stock, Gennxt , etc)..
2. Difference between Touchwiz based Roms and AOSP Based Roms of our Device
1. AOSP Roms DON'T HAVE Dual sim functionality.
2. these are small in size as have only basic android Framework and Do not include bloatwares.
(Roms size~198mbs+)
3. AOSP Roms don’t have TW features, (but have their own**)!
4. they are Highly Customizable and meant for performance.
5. Lower RAM Consumption compared to TouchWiz.
1. Touchwiz Roms HAVE dual sim functionality
2. TouchWiz Roms are Larger in size
because of heavy Framework and Bloatwares*
(ROM Size~844mb+)
3. Touchwiz Got its own specific Features and its own apps for Music/camera etc.
4.they got polish and looks (in own way).
5. High RAM consumption Compared to AOSP. * Custom Roms based on Touchwiz are mostly Bloats free.
**Features varies from Rom to Rom.....get a quicky info in Roms Section!
Recovery Mode and Download Mode
recovery mode- it is a mode used for multipurpose uses.......described below..
switch off the device..hold (vol. up +powe+menu) combination...and let device start..once device start...remove hands atleast from power button else it will switch it on again!!!
How to operate it???
use volume buttons to navigate up and down...
use power button to select!
stock recivery(by default samsung recovery has limited options below....
-reboot system now
(Reboots the system).
-apply sdcard:update.zip
(Install diverse updates like themes, custom roms etc.)
-wipe data/factory reset
(Deletes all the apps, data and system settings(Files on the external SD-card will stay untouched)
-wipe cache partition
(Only wipes (formats) /cache partition (sometimes used as temp storage for updates, market downloads, etc) it hasn't anything common with Dalvik-cache which is in /data by default and it implies that the following boot after wiping cache partition will not be any longer than usually.)
beacuse stock recovery is limited.....custom recoveries are important which have got special features like backup/restore...and many more..
I use CWM...and it is easy to use..i will tell in later section
Download mode- it is used to flash firmware by Odin...
Combination - (vol. down+menu+power button)
once it boots ..there will be a screen ..
volume up to confirm that u want to go ahead and flash by Odin.
volume down to backoff and restart if u did it by mistake.... using ODIN
(lifeline of Samsung firmware installers )
it is really simple app fpr windows PC to flash firmwares/kernels/recoveries etc.
when you brick your device, dont panic and post anywhere...just re-install the firmware by Odin for developer's sake
it will remove everything and simply will install the Samsung's firmware and will make your device like a fresh new one!
an app for saving asses of guys like me who unwillingly/unknowingly brick there device!!
Odin download
link~ http://bartztech.com/wp-content/uploads/YP-G1/Restore/Odin3v1.7.zip
Odin Prerequisites:-
When you need to flash using Odin, you need the Samsung drivers, so that Odin can detect your device while attached to PC via. USB cable....
- Samsung USB Drivers
linky~ http://www.mediafire.com/download/hzlnda0l5t8qyes/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones(3).exe
download drivers
remove old ones installed by control panel(if any)
reboot
install the drivers given
reboot
ready to be used
A stock Samsung USB cable (it seems to give better result than other USB cable bought on third party sellers.)
Flashing by Odin
Note- An Odin flashable file is supposed to be in .tar or .tar.md5 format only.
1.Run Odin.
2. Put your device in download mode(switch off then press vol down+power+menu button altogether.....once it starts..leave buttons else will switch off again coz u are holding power button remember !!)
3.You should see a yellow/blue rectangle with COM:xx and saying ready. that is your device ID actually.. It means that your device is ready to be flashed! (It is important because it means that device connected is recognized by Odin )
4.Go into the PDA section and take your .tar file.(if single file is given.)
if multiple .tar files are given then put CSC in CSC...phone/modem in PHONE section respectively
5. if there is also a pit file then make sure that re-partition box at left is UNCHECKED>!!
6. meditate for a while and ensure once again hat files u have selected are for galaxy grand duos only !!
obvious if you flash s3 files by Odin..you will end up in boot loop..
7. hit start and pray to god that all goes well *kidding*..it will
8.When it's finished, it should say that it's done with a green box saying PASS..if it says fail.....i.e. your USB is not accurately detected...or is detected but disconnects in between.... it happens sometimes if it is not THAT GOOD usb cable...dont panic..remove battery and repeat all steps again!! .just dont let it touched even by air if that happens..keep trying and it will work...once work is done..the first thing u do is get a good USB cable (its i am talking about extreme cases , there will be no problem else )
once it is done , device will be rebooted ( if reboot is checked in left box(u will get what i am talking about once you open app and see by yourself)
Note:- if you have flashed a firmware..first boot might take time from 3-10 minutes...just keep patience and wait....
if still it doesnt start after 10 minutes ....remove battery...re-insert...go in recovery mode..clear data/format and clear cache..now reboot..wait again.... and you are good to go
ROOTING and CWM
basic reason why most of people come on XDA is how to root!
thanks to @chotu222 who already have made a thread so that people can follow and acquire what they wished!!
i will be short and still descriptive!!!
(as it is already mentioned in forums and its pain to type so much :/)
PROCEDURE:
simply for quick pickers.. install CWM and then flash superUser through it!!
is it really that difficult to do??
there is a cwm given with SeLinux support(which is must for installing kitkat roms ), so why not just install that CWM and be carefree (whatever u flash, it wont give any problem)
simple two steps.....
Step 1: installing CWM...
here is SeLinux supported CWM file..(thanks to @pawitp \m/ )
linky~ http://goo.im/devs/pawitp/i9082_cm11.0/recovery_20131210.tar
download it and flash via odin
NOTE- while flashing by Odin , untick auto reboot Option(because rebooting device makes stock recovery to over-write over CWM recovery....)
once the flashing process is done....simply remove and re-insert battery, and go to Recovery Mode, flash the Fix-Recovery.zip given below...
that will fix your problem
Fix-Recovery link- http://www.mediafire.com/download/74mmd1x4af6hlo4/Fix-Recovery.zip.
Step 2: installing superSU: SuperSU allows for advanced management of Superuser access rights for all the apps on your device that need root.
linky~ http://download.chainfire.eu/376/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.89.zip
just flash the superSU by CWM.....
reboot the device...
and your device is now rooted(check it if there is a superSU app in ur app drawer or not).
that is it!!
that's all it takes to root your device...
just 5 minutes :/
NO..You wont loose any data..its just that you simply installed an app in system root directory
Custom roms
Custom Roms are customized Roms for devices..providing us with various different options/advantages over stock Rom what we have Pre-installed by company!..it could be a de-bloated same stock rom w or w/o extra features,/ a whole new version of android/ a ROM based with UI built for different mobile...
simply..there are many Roms and the list is actually long..i cant simply explain but still tried to....
They are mostly based on Aosp/Aokp format(in simple words, with look of nexus UI), or OEM's based(in simple words like Samsung's touch wiz, htc's sense)..
every rom has its unique specialty..unique UI and Unique features.
OEM's are heavily programmed and sized, bloated with factory apps pre-included..
that is the reason that nexus based Roms (~250Mbs+) are twice smaller than the official firmwares(~800Mbs+)!
thanks to all respected Developers who did put such their efforts, and have provided us with so many ROMs !
i am enlisting all ROMs down here with short descriptions, so that you can find everything under one thread here!
AOSP BASED ROMs-
Kitkat (android 4.4.2)
CyanogenMod 11-
thanks to @pawitp for developing this Rom. i dont think i need any explaination for CyanogenMod
its basic AOSP Rom based on Kitkat(4.4.2)...used as base rom for many Custom Roms, It is considered as standard Rom by many Users...Good battery backup,performance and less RAM consumption is speciality of this Rom..it don't implement much extra features except basics, as try to be as near to Nexus stock rom!
developer is always trying to update it as soon as CyanogenMod releases any update...
pawitp has also given delta update Option if you are using limited mbs and internet..its like update and patches which are directly supposed to be flashed (and are <20mbs)..just the modifications made are given , so that you dont download the whole rom...
NOTE- just read FAQ section in cm11 thread for more information on Delta updates.

Carbon Rom
One of the most appreciated Rom Built for galaxy Grand i9082 @xenon92 did put some serious green lantern efforts here (the reason why it has got amazing battery backup and performance)
personally, have used many Roms built for the device,but carbon Rom was the one with least problem when Run by ART compiler..
not only its RAM usage decreased from avg. 300 to 210, but also it supports Gapps in ART (while many Roms conflicts with gapps and give FCs in ART)
it has got many add-on features then just plain kitkat Roms...With the possibility of Halo getting Implemented it Near future(Depends on Carbon Team), lockscreen blur, notifications on lockscreen and Active display comprised as its one of good add on features, there is a Good battery backup (actually good,), with performance..
just give it a shot and u will love it

SlimKat
One of best thing about @xenon92 is that once he starts rolling new roms, he just cant stop ....
so again, introduced slimRom with kitkat power..
slimRoms are most light weight code based Roms , for performance!..they don't add any extra features(Halo and all) because performance is MUST
good when it comes to battery backup
just install and u will never regret it

Posting in the wrong section
@raghavsharmaxda you are posting in the wrong section!!!!
Post this in the general section.
The main reason I postes this here is coz many do come here for FAQ thread..
So its better that they read it here near FAQ thread (so that ppl think twice before posting noon kinda qsns in FAQ too and helpers do save sometime !!).
Still if its a trouble I will surely move it..
Thanks for advice...

+1...i also somehow feels the same......with grand becoming older and older down the line.......there wud be probably more activities in Q & A section with no more stock firmware upgrade and amazing devs developing new roms ( hopefully ) and new probs wud arise if any......
it's great someone has decided to write down all the important things we need to know of our phones in one place... Thanks a lot @raghavsharmaxda :d

I also suggest adding site-specific Google search, it's a lot better than XDA search. It should help a lot of newbs.
Add "site:xda-developers.com" after the keywords i.e. "battery drain problem site:xda-developers.com" and type it into Google search. It also works on other sites, not just XDA.

Hi everyone, i have a Xperia S from 2 year ago. I have bootloader unlock and i tried a lot of roms. But since a 9 months my xperia S is very lag, and freeze very often. For example if i exit of any app the icons launcher and the app menu are slow to appear. Apps like Instagram get unexpected close if i watch very image. This problems was happend with any rom that i flash. I don't know what happen.
I made a full format, format the intern storage and nothing was better. What do you recommend me? Stop to flash roms and flash the original from Sony with flashtool?
Thanks from read. And apologize for my english, it's not my native language.

Have you tried to change the kernel?, because maybe that's the problem...
I can't help you with that because i've locked bootloader, but you can try stock based roms to try if continues working slow... I've just now using Nature Xperia and works fine.
Greetings

A factory restore would definitely help you identify the issue. If it is software related, you will find out once you flash with the stock firmware. If it is still slow after you do a full stock flash, then it might be hardware related, in which case, it might simply mean that your device has had it and it is time to get a new one! You can't rule out that either...
Try an AOSP based ROM or a ROM with it's own kernel like Carbon ROM. Maybe that will help.

Yes try Android 4.3 from CM10.1 use MAKO version and not the CAF version. This is really decent rom. And make sure you move apps regularly to sd after installation
do not use and clock widgets or live wallpapers. Install ES Task manager and have shortcut in homepage so that you can kill all instantly and freesome space if reqd.

I would recommend a Android 4.4 as they have more support plus what He said about widgets and live wallpapers.
Thanks to all. I gonna try with Carbon ROM.

Try v5, because v6 is buggy.
Hey forum!
I'm looking for the best combination of some key functionality:
Stability
Camera (activate/snap with button as on stock ROM), is this possible out of stock ROM at all?
BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) support but I guess that it is supported in newer ROM versions? Hardware should support it.
Most amount of memory/space available for apps, more than stock ROM possible?
Has to be Android 4.3 at least
Any suggestions of a good ROM which fulfills the above?
TIA!
If u want stability + camera + memory for apps and games then u need a ROM that is naosp 6.0 by mickybart's
but u need to reparation your device memory table to use this ROM

Sounds great!
I have a couple of follow-up questions that I hope someone can answer quite quickly:
1. Should I choose version 5 or 6 (I just want the functions I listed and speed and stability are important)?
2. I understand that I need to re-partition the phone but does that apply to version 5 as well?
3. Is there a *complete* guide if you're on stock ROM and have done zilch/zero/nothing yet to the phone?
Thanks!

1. Choose version 6, it has more updates.
2. Nope, it doesn't apply to version 5.
3. You wouldn't find a complete guide in one place, but I can give You pointers here which will lead You to correct searches.
Rooting : use towelroot app. Not available on playstore, search for "towelroot by geohot". It will root Your phone.
Backup TA partition: backup Your TA partition using tool here.
Unlock bootloader : Link.
Then try following the guide from respective ROM thread to flash the ROM!
I am also in the exact same situation, before I start though I was wondering if there is a way to "easily" back up and restore sms messages & whatsapp messages (along with pictures, though I can copy all the pictures easily on the PC and restore them - but I am unsure if this places them back in the correct order etc) - the rest should be easy to backup and restore just not sure about these 2
thanks in advance
p.s. @verma.arun833 & @Mirhawk
as per the original post I am looking for the most STABLE rom out there to date that is android V4.3.1 or higher - I am also a complete noob too and the easier the better but priority is stability - is naosp 6.0 the best choice here still?
Yup naosp 6.0.1 is best and stable at the moment and updated tooo bro try that ?

You can backup Your sms using this app, I use it and it is the best so far. For WhatsApp, backup using the in app backup and copy the WhatsApp folder from internal storage of phone to PC. Then after flashing the new ROM, copy the WhatsApp folder back to internal storage, install WhatsApp and it will automatically restore it.
And yes, nAOSP 6.0 is still the preferred ROM as it is stable as of now and is receiving constant update. If You want extremely stable but above 4.3.1 ROM, then I would suggest last updated version of Carbon ROM(4.4.4). It is of KitKat version, but has many features and doesn't require re-partitioning of device.
Hi guys ,
I don't know if this is the right place to be posting this , so please forgive me if im doing anything wrong (im a noobie and this is my first post)
Im looking for a stable/bug free Rom with Move to sd option right there in the normal settings . Im really tired of using the official rom for so long .. unable to play any good games and even being limited to choosing either one or two of my fav games since low storage message always shows up . Im willing to try any rom you suggest as long as i'll be able to use both my sims. when i looked around i saw that some ppl say that lollipop doesn't support dual sim.. and even if i flashed it , i'll be limited to single sim . It might not seem that bad for most people but it does to me lol. So im also asking to clarify if i flash the patch file provided alongside the cm12 rom will i be able to use full function of my phone. My main goal is gaming so even if there aren't any bug free Roms there i hope you can suggest me a working way to install games and move em to my sd card.
Currently my phone is running on Android 4.3 , Stock 15.5.A.1.5 ( Rooted with towlroot)
So thats why im looking for a new rom , I hope you can indeed help me with my problem and Thanks for all your help in advance :fingers-crossed: !!
Look first of all there is no rom without bugs for the xperia m, but that doesn't meant there are no good roms for xperia m.There are some good roms with some major and minor bugs . You have to decide for what purpose you want to upgrade
If you are bored of your stock rom and looking for some better performance and new look then there are good number of roms available here like official cyanogenmod kitkat,lollipop,marshmallow and also some other third party roms .(Just go through Xperia M Android Development and Xperia M Original Android development )
And you are asking about rom with move to sd card , but i doubt there are not so efficient roms in that aspect but i recommend you to use apps2sd and create partitons in sdcard and use it , it is one of the best method . You can use it on any version of android you like (with some basic knowledge on partitioning , just watch some videos on youtube or search in internet..,)
If you are not intereseted to do experiment on your sd card use CM13 marshmallow , here we can set our sdcard as internal so that you can install big memory games , apps etc.., and also latest android version .There are quite a few bugs but that doesnt really matters for daily use if you are a dualsim user you will not get internet on 2nd sim . Just once go through the link and read everything carefully , and have any doubts post here there are lots of people here to answer you
You can use ArchiDroid v3.1.5 ROM. It lets you move apps from device to SD card. Also it has the less number of bugs as I see. Install recovery and Flash a single file to get started. No need to flash GAPPS, Dual-sim patch etc.. it's already in the package. Choose options wisely while installing it.

@hemanthvarma Btw if i use the partition method will i be able to move apps and games to sd card even though my phone doesn't even have the option to move apps in the settings ?
also has this method worked in xeria M dual yet , cuz one of my friends had tried to do it on my phone and he only managed to currupt google playstore on my phone
Finally will i be able to reformat the sd card into a normal sd card again ?

Yes you can move apps to sd card by using apps2sd and also in future you can come back to normal sdcard by again repartitioning it . Watch some videos about how to create partitions in sdcard and how to use apps2sd in MM
Dont simply partition and insert it in your phone you have tofollow some extra steps to get it done , refer xda forums also
