I am new. How do i put a new rom on my phone.

Hi
I am not new to technical forums. But I am new to this phone and I want to put a new rom on this phone. The current one is so slow.
What is the best rom available.
How do i put a new rom onto the phone.
Please keep it simple or point me to step by step specific instructions. Not a set of generalised instructions.
I looked at the how to thread. It was not step by step and got lost after three clicks.
specific help would be excellent.

Yes alot, after i been using a custom rom & getting it back from repair, i'd had to get a custom rom on the phone again, its to slow without if you asking me.
But that's just what I think.

Questions About i8160L

I have a galaxy ace i8160L, and i want to install custom roms, but i see that there is a model i8160 WIthout L (and i see other with i8160P), dont know where to start, and i dont know if i can use all the tutorials from i8160 to i8160L. I dont want to brick the phone for doing something wrong, also, if there is any way to avoid flash counter that would be great (i see a flashable for CWM but for i8160, so dont know if can be use it with i8160L)
Any help is appreaciate. thanks

Search around the Ace II general forums. There was one or two guidez on how to make this possible. For gingerbread only so far. also, I'm not sure but maybe you can use the manual flash counter reset using terminal.
oh by the way, there's a q and a thread and its stickied, any further questions that are not related to this should be posted there since most of the users are monitoring that thread therefore a better chance to get an answer.
Nevermind my sig, its my sig in XDA app.
Is pressing "THANKS" to hard to do? If you think my post is helpful then click that button! Ungrateful bast***s​

You should ask in the Question and Answer Thread, not making new threads for just a single question.
And i8160L is the NFC version, there are a few ROMs as mentioned by Dro1ne and you can try installing non-L ROMs but you'll most likely to lose your NFC functions and a little chance of brickings. CMIIW though.
Should one see another pointless thread without asking it in the Q and A Thread, don't reply to it and let the thread sink to bottomless pit of hell.
EDIT: sorry for the harsh language, it's just really getting annoying when I see new threads but just asking a single question of not the same question again and again.

ok, sorry, i search first but still no clear, i will ask a last question there.thanks for your time.
Dont worry, i understand, was my mistake. i just want to see if keep the phone or not, i already have another android, but this is just because a friends need it and want custom roms like mine.

[Q] Please can someone point me in the right direction??

Hi, I am a noob at this but after looking around on the net for a day, I'm already confused...
OK, here's the situation, its fairly simple... I bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE i9305 (UK EE) but want to unlock it.
It is running Android 4.1.2 and therefore "The Trick" doesn't work as it is missing the final option...
1) I have therefore read that I can downgrade it to 4.1.1 and then use the trick...
2) or I could "Root" it....
Which of these is most straight forward. I don't mind Rooting it cos I gather it's not THAT risky...
So far, I've downloaded Odin but don't know what to do with it....I also just want to use Stock ROM and don't know where I can get that... there are too many other ROMs to choose so just want to keep it simple.
Please can someone help?? I realise other people may have asked this question before, so therefore if someone could point me in the right direction and show me a simple and easy to follow guide, I would be most grateful.:good:
Many Thanks in advance!

[Q][Canadian i317m] Hidden Menu Unlock? MK5 4.3 & NH2 4.4.2

Sorry for asking this but with lots of people making topics about same topic its geting confusing.
Can we keep a sticky on how and what works then lock it?
I'm looking to unlock 2 x Note II I317M's
# 1.) Is running NH2 4.4.2 Firmware
# 2.) Is running MK5 4.3 Firmware
So can I just downgrade the modems to MODEM_I317MVLALJ2 If so how can I do this?
Only asking because some are saying you can and some are saying you can't. Sorry again for asking this. I just don't want to brick these phones. One is for my pregnant wife and one is for me as our 2.5yr old broke both of ours and got these ones second hand but they are locked. Just don't want this to be wasted money.
Thank you all xda'ers in advance

Anyone?

Wow thanks guys your input was helpful and it works.
Oh wait no one gave input.
Anyways for others. its only the modem you flash not rom.
Some say rom but you just need the modem.
thanks again xda'ers ill be sure not to come to this site again for help.
What's rude is is that people donate $ and phones for support yet onece new device is out yiu really don't give support. If no support then refund donations.

If you down grade to 4.1.1, you can unlock the devices using the service menu. The only way you can get 4.1.1 onto the device is using Odin. There is a tutorial somewhere on xda that gives you the step-by-step.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini GT-19195 Cyanogen

Hey, guys, I am a complete noob when it comes to custom ROMs and a friend recommended this place. I was wondering if you guys could give me a step by step guide on how to root my device and put Cyanogen on it as that is what was recommend to me. It is a UK phone if that has a bearing as well. Sorry you probably had plenty of these threads
