I've been learning too. Best advice is search.....I have found the answers to all my questions here in the last number of months searching.
Short answer is the rom is basically the software that your phone runs when you boot it up. All your apps and settings....they are built into the rom. So, if you decide to root the phone, you have the option to install custom ones, not made by samsung or your carrier. I'm currently using the Jedi X6 rom, and its awesome IMHO.
And I took the easy way and grabbed the galaxy note 2 toolkit to initially root the device.
But there's guides and all that to help you.....just read before you just try doing anything.
Best advice: Don't do it.
Enjoy what you've got for at least a year. Then root.

Just look at the guides link below!
"If i have helped you, just hit the "thanks" button pls"-sent from my GT-N7100...some guides here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055827 .... drop some question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055736
and most importantly, keep your phone safe, that screen is what makes the phone worth its name and price. Get something to protect the whole phone. I bought mine 3 months ago, and i am babying it like a MOFU.

Hi,
A rom is just a customized firmware, that u flash to the phone. But if u don't know what a rom is, I would just stay on a stock rom, as it's the most stable.
Enjoy your new toy (i am already waiting for the galaxy s4 )
Cheers

this rom looks cool but its for the att s3, I have seen several post saying that we can flash their roms and vice versa but i have also seen post that says that it cannot. so I want an opinion from an expert.
can we flash this rom to our t999 with no problems? back on the s2 we could flash from the skyrocket and to make it stable we needed to flash a tmobile kernel with auto rotation fix and a call echo fix. and that it.

So nobody is interested
Seems pretty similar to Pac-Man ROM, no?
Or am i missing a key feature that "JellyBam" has that Pac-Man doesn't?
I'd stay away from ROM's on other CELL Phones. (at best you might be able to download their ROM and sneak out some of thier MODS, I do it, but u need to know what your doing)
stick with TMOBILE ROM's...Or you'll be posting lots of POSTS like...
Help, I screwed up my SGS3 ....IS it just Soft bricked ?....I didn't follow directions, please help me!...
and then recieve Reply's like "WE TOLD you so, stay away"
your best bet, is to find the MODS you love and try to get a DEV to incorporate it into a MOD or a ROM!

Hi folks
Just came across this which sounds just what the doctor ordered

Hi,
after years with different versions of Cyanogen I'm so used to it that I'm really a little worried that noone ported it for the Galaxy Fame.
Rooting is easy with motochopper so apps lite Titanium are working but I'm really missing some of the CM goodies.
Or any other ROM that has more customizations available.
Would be great if a coder could go for it
Bye,

Rooting with the motochopper and installing the clockworkmod recovery goes very smoothly and easily if you follow the instructions. At that stage you at least have the benefits of being rooted such as Titianium Backup and being able to create a clockworkmod recovery.
It is a bit frustrating not being able to find any customer overclock/undervolt kernels and a nice juicy Cyanogen custom rom for it, but hopefully it will come in time.
Hey guys. Just wanted to know if there's any progress going on with custom roms??
Thanks for any info.
Aparently no activity for this terminal, guess many of us have to buy another model.
hi i have been reading all these galaxy fame threads and searching further a-field for any detail too on a new rom, really interested in tweaking one myself but being a newbie im not sure how to get the standard one in zip format to start working with and altering, can anyone help me with that part so then i can start tweaking it a bit to test please?
cheers in advance

I rooted my fame with motochopper and it was super easy (rooting it with this automatically installs supersu aswell which is handy), then root checker to test that rooting worked, (i deleted root checker afterwards).
i put on titanium backup which is a very good app, and helps alot, and helps to get rid of unwanted apps and widgets.
i also used pimp my rom which is quite a nifty app, but can cause allsorts of problems if you tweak too much, i did get it running better than normal after changing settings several times.
i couldnt get the clockwork mod stuff working to be honest.

You can flash cwm from my thread (check latest posts) and make a backup. After that you can give it a try.
I suppose that it works because those terminations are most of region codes or something eg, B for Brasil, L for Latin and P for the nfc version. But the boards are the same...
Cheers!:good:
I'm going to try this... Soon. Thanks!
:fingers-crossed:
corsicanu, ok now i can confirm, you rom is compatible with L series, so i done your tutorial, installed CWM, from the right post, and them the costom rom....alas it still a "stock rom", is very stable and very lightweith compared with the provider rom. so, kudos to you, now, is time to test and to help in the case i find a bug......thank you so mutch for this, galaxy fame deeded it so mutch i'll keep in touch when somethin happends.

It's not any more complicated. Don't worry about odex and stuff. Just stay in the development threads here and flash what you like. Not trying to be mean here but these types of threads are not necessary. Just make a nandroid and flash away and see what best fits your needs. Each rom is subject to opinion. I use slimfast and have had no issues with it.

I keep asking questions, and you give me other replies rather than answers... If might be straightforward and easy for you. and maybe screwing around with a $350 phone is no issue for you.. but me.. not so much.
"In theory you should be fine if you do dirty flash from another 4.3 rom such as DN3 v1.0 or SN10
We recommend TWRP 2.6.3.1 to flash this rom.
You need 4.3 boot loader.
Have both TWRP and latest CWM on your external SD Card along with Ditto Note 3.1.1
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.1, go into Wipe and slide to do the Factory Reset."
This is not straight forward to me.. since I have no idea if I have a 4.3 bootloader - says I HAVE TO HAVE ONE.
TWRP is at 2.7 now .. is there a reason he says to use 2.6.3.1??? on a rom that was updated 3 days ago??
These are the things that bother me.. I am not interested in bricking my phone.
If you dont want to help.. fine, But explanations for the terms used above are not coming up in searches, unless I want to read a ton of threads.. so I thought someone might answer for me.

If that's what the developer says to use then use it. I would say he knows why to use 2.6.3.1 but that's not really important. Samsung phones are very hard to brick if you follow the directions. I'm no expert dude, all I do is follow the directions in the OP. If you do that you will be fine. What were you running prior to slim fast? If you're not sure you have the bootloader you can just flash it again.

Hi guys, I was looking at rooting my phone. However there are some issues I have with it that hopefully you guys can rectify.
How can I update?
What is the most popular rom?
Is it worth rooting?
My main reason for rooting is getting rid of the bloatware from samsung and optus on my phone. I also want to customize Nova launcher with icon themes but I can do that without a root. What other things can I do with my phone with a root?
Is rooting hard? And how do I backup my phone before I do it? Searching around on here I came across an app called Titanium Backup but you have to be rooted to backup with that?
There is so many more questions I want to ask, but I will leave it at this for now.
Thank you!
Can anyone please help me?

Bumping your topic after a couple of house inst going help. Could just end up getting topic closed/deleted. This is not your phones tech support desk and nobody here owes you an answer so when you create a topic be patient. Also not putting "help me please" as topic title would help, just be precise and descriptive about what topic is about.
To answer questions..
1. You flash rom through custom recovery.
2. There is no such thing as a "best" rom and asking this question is against rules.
3. Yes.
I would highly recommend you do some reading/research.

I already answered this earlier, please try and read.
Some ROM's like Cyanogenmod for example have inbuilt rom downloaders which will enable you to download next version and then flash it automatically.
However process is same, simply download new rom, reboot into rescue and then flash next version. No wipe is needed if its same base/version. You only need to wipe if going to new rom/base etc. Wipe will only wipe data partition on internal, your external is untouched.

If anyone is interested in doing this see the sticky in the n7105 thread the guy shows you how to install a custom recovery and install supersu 2.0 through that.
It is also great to try different roms, you can backup and install multiple roms to your liking.
