Long story short, I haven't flashed a ROM since june.
I know at one point you needed an ODIN patch to flash along with the new radio for most ROMs. Is that still the case?
What are the more stable options right now?
Thank you for any help.

Depending on what your running you would need newest recovery and newest radio. About the most stable ROM you would have to test them out yourself
This ^^^^^
Its all taste and what's important to you. So certain bugs are deal breakers for some and completely irrelevant to others.
So, read the rom threads to get an idea about each...and see what members are saying about it.....and start flashing away.
And soon a moderator will close this thread.....and tell you the same thing. Just a heads up.

You just flash back to stock rom to get the updates. But the point is once rooted your rom of choice will be updated probably faster than the Google update gets pushed to your phone.
^ This!!!
And why have a galaxy nexus if you want to go back to stock for ota? Its a development device....use the roms the devs release for it...lol.
Do I understand this correctly? Clockwork mod recovery with stock ICS will not give OTA updates from Google???

Yes...although im not sure why this concerns anybody. As fast as development is moving on this device, the devs will have updates out as fast or faster than google releases them via ota.

The problem with roms is that it's not 100% stable. I came from htc dinc, i havent seen any stable rom for it.

^Made me laugh.
You can flash the official roms from google with cwm. This way you have your updates faster.
But I should choose a developer rom they have awsome features.

Hello, I've worked with custom roms and such before, but only stable things. I installed the Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly builds, and I've been updating them every day, through TWRP by just flashing the rom, and gapps. A snapshot was just released, and I was wondering if I just do it the same method, or do I have to do the wipe system and all that when you first install a brand new rom. I'm pretty sure I do it the same way, but I just want to make sure there isn't have to be anything else. Better safe than sorry.
Oh my why are you going through all that trouble CyanogenMod has a built in updater all you do is go to about and then CyanogenMod update I believe it will ask you the frequency to check for updates. Make sure you change the options to nightly builds. The phone will notify you when there's an update, after downloading the phone will update itself and all your apps will still be there so you won't need to flash G apps each time.

The process to do this is called a "dirty flash" because you are flashing over what you already have without wiping again. Usually if its an updated version of the same rom you dont need to rewipe everything
However, if you come upon this in some other rom (you're updating to a new version of it), make sure that the OP's instructions dont mention a full flash, because the nature of some big updates WILL require you to do a full wipe and then flash
But for this specific case, just do what the guy above me said

It is a more stable build designation. Still not an official release. Think of it as a monthly nightly!
Thank you!

Ok now that I'm confident in my ability to flash ROMS and Kernels in the new Linux 3.0 & 3.4 versions that came with JB, is there anyone who could help me out with finding modems and flashing them and what each modem is for and etc? I really don't understand the new system as i came over from the OG EVO and from what i understand thus far, its not exactly the same as flashing radios as it was with GB or ICS. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tried looking through stickies but couldnt find anything.

This thread will guide you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38172219
Posts #1 through #5 where you will find links to modems. LJ7 and MD4 seem to work best. But these devices are not like HTC devices so don't put that much concern into it.

Ok thanks for the help. About updating the PRL on AOSP roms though.... I downloaded the script and ran the scripts using script manager exactly as the guide said to do so, but i cant enter diagnostics mode. Any idea why?

Won't really work on the S3... Best and easiest thing to do is make a nandroid then flash tw rom update prl and profile and then restore nandroid
Sent from the future via Tapatalk 4
Ok, was just curious about that. I know about the nandroid backup and all. Its basically the same as it was with the old aosp/sense system. But thanks a lot for your help. And hopefully I'll see an improvement in my signal strength and quality. Do you have any other tips that could help?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Nope other than stick to TW roms, signal strength will be better and lte, 3g exchange is much better.
Sent from the future via Tapatalk 4
Yea well it wouldnt make too much of a difference with 3G and LTE considering I'm in an area that doesnt have LTE coverage yet. And just curious here, but the synergy port from verizon IS considered a TW rom right?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
yeah no lte it makes no difference. I don't know about synergy but just look in the OP it's either TW, AOSP or AOKP. If you don't have to flash gapps it's TW.

Since the update to the 3.4.x kernel the scripts don't work anymore. Flash a TW ROM and follow those instructions
So yesterday I went looking for a good TouchWiz rom, because I got bored of AOSP. I tried almost all of them until I came acrossAxis. I noticed it's dead now, for the most part. but it's honestly the best TW rom I've found. So instead of asking for fixes, since the Dev abandoned his project, I have an issue with switching the kernels.
Since it's a verizon Base, would I have to flash a kernel for verizon? Or could I flash any 4.1.x kernel in our tmobile section?
Stay with our kernels! Do not flash a Verizon one.

Well that's the weird thing, I flashed Ktoonez TW kernel, and it wouldn't boot. I can't find any useful information in the ROM thread pertaining to kernel flashing, so Idk who to ask or turn to. Doesn't help that this rom died WAY before it's time. =\
I'm looking to buy a 2014 10.1 and something caught my attention and was curious about it. I have a s4 running 4.3 android and thanks to Knox I cant put a custom recovery on it and have to use safestrap to use a custom rom essential wasting much space. Is that a issue with the tablet as well. Or is twrp/clockwork able to be used?

Flashing a custom recovery will trigger knox. And I havent heard of any safestrap solution for Note 10.1 2014.

So custom roms are a no go for this thing? Help me understand. I mean I see the threads with rom but is it like the s4....only 4.3 tw roms will work. A lot of questions I know of but $500 on the line. Lol thanks in advance

Of course you can flash a custom recovery and custom roms, but it cant be done without triggering knox. Flashing the rom itself is harmless, its the flashing of a custom recovery that triggers knox. So if you can live with that just go a head and flash, if not.... then dont.
Good luck
Ok thanks for the clarification the knox part is still kind of new to me. Tw is a little heavy just wanted to make sure I had the option to run an aosp rom down the line.
