Samsung Galaxy Victory custom ROM - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hey all, first post here.. easy on the noob.
I just rooted my Samsung Galaxy Victory (SPH-L300) from Virgin and it's working great, but I was hoping to install a custom rom on the device. I searched on Cyanogen and turned up with nothing under the Victory. Could someone please point me in the right direction to where I could find some custom roms for the Victory? I can't seem to find much on the Victory at all apart from just general rooting of the phone.
Thanks guys.. any info's much appreciated.
Cheers.

Headset controls not working in MIUI 1.9.9

Hi,
I am currently on MIUI 1.9.9 on my galaxy S I9000. My headset buttons are not working.
I found this old post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15626582&postcount=1638 which says flashing the platypus neo kernel solves the problem. Has anyone tried this as there are no comments from users. I haven't found any satisfying answer to this problem on the forum till date.
Has anyone got a solution to this problem. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Sorry for posting here.....I am new to this forum
Appreciate your quick response. Just a couple of queries.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17339717&postcount=2986
I hope the neo kernel at the above link is the latest one. And there are 2 files there to download CM7_SGS_20110907_NEO_17-stock-color.zip and CM7_SGS_20110907_NEO_17-voodoo-col.zip . Do i have to flash both these files to my Galaxy S I9000. i am a bit confused about this. Also if you can....tell me how to flash a kernel. The info i have so far is all in bits and pieces. I don't want to end up bricking my phone. If i can just get all the info in one place it would help.
Thanks once again.....

there is a Q&A section mate....wrong one here.
sorry guy, my mistake.

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to say hi to everyone, I have been jailbreaking iPhones and iPods for years but I decided to switch to an android so I went with a Galaxy S3
I am new to the ROM/rooting experience and I am looking forward to learning!
I did root the phone but I have not flashed any ROMS yet. I want to find the best one out there for the T-mobile S3 before I flash my first one. Could anyone tell me which, if any, improve signal strength? I have very bad signal in my area and was hoping that I could improve that this way, Gotta appreciate all of the developers who put so much time and work into this stuff for our benefit!
Well I would recommend Wicked rom if you want stock experience, if you want aosp, most are based on CyanogenMod 10 builds. If you want better reception, there is a flashable modem that SHOULD improve reception, but its dangerous I've read, I have not done that, but its what I've read. Some heads up tips, backup in recovery before flashing anything, read the original post of anything you'll flash and search before posting, you'll probably find what you need

Where did you hear that flashing modems is dangerous? As long as you follow directions and don't use one for another device its really no more dangerous than flashing a kernel or recovery.
If you guys want to learn more about modems this thread is as good as any place to start!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880987
Just please make sure you read and understand what you are doing before trying this or any other mod!
@op
The thread I linked to is stickied in the development section. Next to it is the firmware thread. I suggest keeping a copy of the stock fw on hand in case you run into problems. Sometimes odin flashing back to stock is the only solution.
There is no best rom. What is the best for you will most likely not be the best for me. You should get an idea of what you are looking for base-wise. Try a cm or aokp and see if you prefer it over stock. Say you prefer stock, then focus on the roms that are based on stock builds.
Read the op thoroughly! Find one that has features you want. Then while downloading read the first few pages and the last 5 or so pages to get an idea about any bugs or other info.
The rom you choose will rarely have any bearing on signal stregnth. There are lots of modems you can choose from.
Finally, do NOT flash anything that was made for another device!
Good luck and welcome!

Well as actually you can flash most att ROMs to the t-999 as long as they are not updating the modem then you should be fine
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I'd flash the cm10 latest nightly

Welcome all member of Xda-developers forum
Nice to meet you
As far as modems go it is going to be a testing process. While most modem updates are aimed at better signal it is not always the cases do to area. So what gives me the best signal my not get you the best signal so try one and run a speed test use it for a day then do another speed test before changing the modem again until you find what works for you.

I'll take a leap of faith. Which recovery are you using. What method did you use to flash recovery. If I were you I would start simple and flash a touch wiz 4.1.1 ROM. Also, 2 things to remember before someone else tells you. 1 - CAPS aren't necessary for someone to read your post. 2 - asking for a ROM recommendation is generally discouraged due to what I like may not be what you want, per xda rules. For rom info just goto the development section and read. Find one you are interested in. Make a backup using your recovery method, follow guidelines set by developer and flash. Google and you tube are your friends when learning to flash. You might want to find a app backup utility like titanium backup to restore your apps after you flash your new ROM. Then read, read, and read some more and when you think your ready read again. Flashing wrong ROM can cause a bricked (locked and unusable phone). Also, if you were sorry for the caps you could have change prior to submitting post. Good luck.

[Q] A Few Newb Questions

OK I don't want you to think I am lazy, I read through many threads n tried to figure it out on my own first lol
I just bought a Virgin Mobile Galaxy S2. Which I have been told is the Epic 4G Touch on here so I hope I am in the right place.
Basically I just want to know how to flash the Jelly Bean update assuming it doesn't have it on there yet, Then also how to root it and what the consensus 'best ROM' is? Or if there is not a consensus best then maybe the top couple? Want one that is fully operational. I am coming from the Verizon Droid Charge and I know most of their ROM's weren't fully functional so pardon me if that doesn't apply here.
So how to get it on Jelly Bean.. How to root.. ROM? 'Must have' tweaks n mods?
I greatly appreciate any/everyone that helps! Thanks in advance!! :cyclops:
You are in the right place just look through the development forum some roms use a ics modem so read the download instructions. here is a link to the stock rom page http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...tory - Find/Download Them All Here (SPH-D710) also watch qbking77 how to root and how to flash clockworkmod.

[Q] Noob Feast Here

Hi Everyone,
As the title says I am a noob to rooting and have been researching the various roots,kernels,roms and add on packs, and some answers on what would be the best package for my phone to accomplish the results of what I would like to do,
My Phone Specs:
Samsung Galaxy SII
SGH-T989 (T-Mobile)
4.1.2 (Android Version)
3.0.31-1003885 (Kernel Version)
What I would like to accomplish is remove a bunch of bloatware that came with phone (mainly all of the T-Mobile bloat)...and I would like to connect my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet to the phone and be able to use the phones data connection as a wifi connection via usb tethering.
There it is, let the feast begin...
Thxs in advance for all the answers and comments

This link will help you how to root. Before you click on it and follow the steps, when you get to step 13, skip to step 18, and then go back to step 14, but skip 18 this time around. This makes a nandroid backup of your ROM (Recovery Menu > Backup).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195283
After you've rooted, download "Root Browser" or something similar to that from the Play Store.
After starting Root Browser up, browse to system/app. Then there will be a load of apps there. Simply click on it and select uninstall.
Be sure to know what you're uninstalling. If you mess up, just restore from the backup you made earlier in recovery.
As for your second option, I'm not sure how to help you with that, sorry!
Good luck!
EDIT: I found a person you had a problem while he was rooting. This thread will take you there and show you he solution as well

CyanogenMOD is probably still the biggest, and if you're new to custom ROMS and rooting, it helps to be able to Google for answers. I see Jedi around a bunch here too, so you'd probably be okay getting help here, but I don't know much about it (I stick with CM). The latest out is CM 10.1 (which is Android 4.2.2).
Another step (once you get confident with using the various ROM/rooting tools) to fine-tuning your phone is updating your radio, and there's an excellent thread with the radios listed for the T989 here.

Yup he's right CM is the biggest in custom ROMs but you can start off with the ROMs based on stock like Jedi, Infamous, & Northern Touch, etc.
Then after you become comfortable with flashing you can move onto AOSP ROMs.
Have fun flashing
