Hi.
I'm looking for info. on rooting this device and flashing the best compatible rom.
For root, a step by step if possible...
For flash, which rom is best for the device ( I understand it is pretty weak and may not handle cm series or the like. I did hear about a rom that was like a supped up version of the stock or something but lost that info.
- as well would appreciate a step by step if possible for flashing.
The device is completely stock at the moment.
Moocho Appreesheeosho!

Hi guys. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do I install the 2.3 Android while i have the 2.2? Where to download and how to install it?
You can't as it's currently for the Nexus S and soon to be the Nexus One
You can get a cutom made 2.3 ROM by looking at Oxygen in the ROM forum
Thanks. Well since I don't know the risks of "rooting" or installing custom roms, I want to ask you: is it worth it? Do I lose my phones warranty?
At this point the risk of rooting is minimal (but still there is a risk) and there are good tutorial you can use. Especially this one: Turkeys' Ultimate Guide to Root Desire.
Technicality you lose your warranty when you root your phone but there are ways to revert that. However that is not possible on every phone and depends on the branding and software version.
There is some great development on the gingerbread roms, but they don't full work jet, so at this point I would not root my device just for a gingerbread rom.
On the other hand there are also enough other great froyo roms to try out.
But first thing to do is write down your software info and check if you can find a matching RUU here.
I'm using recently bought un-rooted Galaxy Gio (S5660XXKQ5) with stock 2.3.4 ROM. The reception has been pretty bad right from the start and few days ago I read that the reason for that might be the modem of my current stock ROM.
The question is - can I just flash new modem via Odin without rooting the phone and installing custom ROM? Is there a collection of S5660 modems somewhere?
HI !!!
Hi!
same new member here...
this analogy maybe ll help you...
which one do you think is greater, the brand new car that hasn't been modified or the modified car that its components, including engine, brake, and body has been modified into the best one???...
when you play NFS or GT sure you ll upgrade your car components, right?
same like the custom rom compared to the stock...
even the stock has a lot of problems..
here mine when i bought, i got nothing special with my gio with 2.2.1 stock FW
even the galaxy mini is better comparing to gio with the stock in GPS test
so u better root you phone, without being care about the MOdulator-DEModulator stuff and going to new custom rom
there are a lot of Best rom in the Android Development forum like the one created by phiexz, search yourself
to have custom rom sure you have to root your device, and don't think it's complicated that you should get other's help
u can do yourself
1.)search the root tutorial based on your current rom (when i first root my phone i used superoneclick, but if it's kinda complicated, seach another way)
2.)then install Clockworkmod Recovery, download in the market or else by the name ROM Manager (or the customized CWM)
3.)download the rom (complete components, if existed)
4.)flash the rom by rebooting into recovery... (don't care about rooting again, u ll find most of the rom will be automatically rooted with new CWM, and a2sd enabler)
5.)short tutorial above depends on the rom you ll be flashed
i'm a bit being advisor, hope u dont mind...
I know all the advantages of having a custom ROM but this time I'm really interested in replacing my modem to get better reception. Could it be done?
Hello there!
I purchased the new HTC One M8 and it is just AMAZING!
I came from Galaxy SIII... and the differences are huge and I don't regret my move
Anyways, when flashing something on SIII and rooting the device was VERY simple and user-friendly..
I could change ROMs without any problem and knew every step and step.
But after checking how to install a costum room on the M8 I feel like I don't understand anything.
I need a really detailed guide to how to flash a costum ROM? what do I need for it? how to root the device? what is S-OFF S-ON..?
I really know nothing about how to flash costum ROMs to HTC device ...
And I don't know where to start from and which ROM to choose, so please i'd like to have a very detailed step by step guide for rooting + flashing costum ROMs
Thanks!

The information contained in the mammoth AndroidHD 10.2 thread is all you could ever need ... :silly:
It's also the slickest, most stable ROM I have ever used.

Dear all,
I wish someone could help me here.
I recently bought a second-hand Note 10.1 2014 (P605) which seems running on Cyanogenmod 13. First i noticed that it doesn't recognised my sim card, then camera is also crashing.
After reading around, i found out that this is the issues with CM13
hence i'm thinking to move to other stable rom.
my question would be:
1. Can recommend me a good and stable rom? i don't need anything fancy, as long as stable and light. currently i'm in progress downloading David's rom, is that ok?
2. Moving from CM to other rom, can i simply follow instruction on the ROM's thread? for instance, if i am going to use David's rom, just follow the steps there? any prerequisite things to be done first? i just want to ensure that i will be on the right path. because i read on the cyanogenmod website, this system had it own recovery and heimdal and stuffs, i'm a bit worried that it is somehow created a different things in the system (i don't even know how to say this correctly).. is it alright for me to simply flash another recovery and ROM?
sorry for the dumb question. hope someone will be kind enough to guide me. thanks in advance
There are many knowledge about custom roms and root but mostly not understandable. I am on stock rom. Samsung galaxy a505f one ui 3.1 i wanna learn all steps of installing custom rom and rooting. The people who know well are passing some steps and we are not able to understand well. Can someone order the full steps for us?? Please. Unlock oem,twrp,magisk,wipe,cache,recovery,flash,custom rom,root..... most of us do not know what are theses. But we can do with a step by step guide. For example 1:do this 2:do this 3,4,5..... some guides explaining like flash this. I have no idea about what is flashing. But we can follow steps of guide.
