updating android version

Guys all of the Custom ROMS says 4.1.2 but my Android version is 4.0.4 if i flash any of those ROM will get problems?
will update the version automatically? or do i have to upgrade version before instlling a custom ROM with 4.1.2 version.
if so, how do i upgrade to 4.1.2 from 4.0.4?
Info
Model Number
SGH-T989
Android Version

You can just use a custom recovery to flash a 4.1.2 ROM, make sure you full wipe (in recovery do factory reset and wipe /system)
Before you do this make sure you back up any data you want to keep.

I will have mercy on you, cause I asked this as a noob also. First, above all, wrong section. Please ask a mod to move to Q&A. Second, the android version is part of the ROM. ROMS are built in a paticuler android version. Upgrading android versions is a non issue.

You have a whole slew of options. You can search 4.1.2 in the thread titles in this very section. You can also grab CM10 for the Hercules from get.cm or Goo Manager by searching Hercules.

Cyanogenmod is always a good choice. I'm using all star liquid smooth ATM, its rock solid and has the best battery life of any ROM I've ever used on my t989. Jedi mind trick is pretty awesome too...
You've got a lot of reading to do

This going to be really fun for you the next month or so. Try every rom type so you know what's best and don't forget to backup the ones you like. Then after you find you a cool ROM (AOKP ) try messing with different kernels.

And what ever you do DO NOT FLASH ANY ROMS OTHER THAN T989 AND SKYROCKET ROMS ANY OTHER WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE but stick with our ROMs for awhile till you get the hang of flashing since theirs a couple things you gotta flash for skyrocket roms

Most probably with a computer because any of his indicated phones can do that speed if their not LTE. Even our hercules can only do H+, 2 times the 3g speed in the USA T-Mo network, that is ~40Mb.

Says at the bottom he is on U of Chicago server. So it must have been a wifi connection and universities consistently have fantastic connections.
@OP
Look others have said this already but I'll reiterate. Dont worry about the version of the ROM. You can install a ROM with whatever android version and it will run so just choose one that you think will be stable and fast. The thing that you have to pay attention to is the google apps package you flash. Google apps are NOT included in almost all ROMs and have to be flashed separately, after the ROM is installed. Each version of android has a GApps package specifically for it and they will not work properly if they are mismatched. So it is very important that when you DL the GApps you pay attention to whether it is for 4.0.x or 4.1.x or 4.2

Go check out Moon ROM

This ROM is in the N7105 forum. I love it. TouchWiz with tablet/phablet mode. Any app floating windows and plenty of options to choose from with Aroma Installer. Just thought I would sharewhat I think is a great ROM and different from what we have in our forum.

In Aroma there are options for modem and kernel. Just check do not change for both and you will retain your current modem and kernel. After i set the ROM up i flashed the new Saberkernel. Just my preference. No mirror. Sorry download was slow for me also.

The speeds are about the same. That's about average for me on the south side of Chicago. I usually get about 20 -25 on the north side. Battery life is good also. I'm oc'd at 1.7 and gpu at 733. I will post a battery screenshot later.

rlee----I would seriously advise on not flashing v8 as that is for the 7100 from what I have read, the original link on this thread to the v1 works for our phones. Like I said I read through the forums that is linked to the original one on this thread and when you go to the thread for the v8 op Tmobile users are stating they don't have data etc on tmobile and they stated that the v1 from this thread link is for our devices as I wanted to install. But.... if you get it working fill me in I would be interested to run this, I installed the v1 and all is well and works good thus far.

Been using this rom, great concept, totally reversible to use in regular phone mode via built-in ui app switcher. There is a youtube on this something galaxynote2root
First time the rom would not boot - likely because of all the aroma options I chose. I wiped and reflashed again using mostly suggested options and it all went well. Will try saber kernel for o/c as the rom is a bit demanding at times.

can anyone post a mirror of v1? goo is taking upwards of 11 hours

thanks for the heads up, i flashed the V8 first and everything was working ok except for data, (i kept my tmobile mode). as long as u dont flash the included modem you should be ok (no bricking). so i then flashed the V1 and everything worked fine, except that i was experiencing some lag while scrolling through menus and websites, i tried flashing with different kernels as well but always got the lag. i flashed back to my DD for now. Moon looks promising but its not what im used too

Thanks for.pointing this Rom out looks nice

Wipe/flash ROM/wipe dalvik/reboot. That's what I did. Don't change kernel in Aroma. How long did the boot animation stick?

How long did you wait? Usually, at least on my device when I flash a rom it could take several minutes to load. But as stated above if it takes over 5 min then do the steps.

I tried it several times and it stay for like 10min on the alien logo, and yes I wipe before and wipe after

no. let your GE ROM boot first. then reboot to recovery and flash. wipe cache and dalvik cache.
it is compatible with any I9505 running a Google Play Edition build, including SGH-M919

at the moment i don't think anyone has an official build except for the GPE phones. there is a full dump but i don't think it has been made Odin flashable yet. when this happens, then yes, i believe you will be able to.

Last night I got 0.4%hr battery drain, 96.3% deep sleep, after 8 hours, with wifi on 24/7 and my VoIP app running (Sipdroid). This is on par with the best I've had to date. ROM is running quick and snappy so far with no problems at all.
More later.

Night #2 dropped to 0.3%hr drain with the same specs. Really nice kernel. No problems noted.

And night #3. Just for giggles I turned off my VoIP app and got 0.1%hr battery drain over 8 hours, and 99.4% deep sleep. Excellent.
Final post on this kernel.

thanks. i never use TB. when i flash a new ROM, i make sure i'm at home on wifi so everything restores from the market on its own. takes me a few min or so to set my phone back up.
4.3, imo, is more polished now. the lock ring is fixed/centered, less TW stuff, and the kernel seems to be performing better (stock vs stock) to name a few things i've noticed.

GPS problems 4.4.4

I've been using c-rom for a while. I wanted to upgrade when some kernels started dropping after 9-10-14, but it seems like every ROM I try, I can not get my gps to lock. No matter what. I tried upgrading my modem to nd8 but that hasn't helped either.
I'm at a loss now. Any tips or anyone else experiencing this?

I'm having the same problem. I'm on MK3 and it has been a hit or miss with getting GPS to lock. I can get Slim rom and Octo to lock but it looks as if anything that is based off cyanogenmod kernel does not work. I was wondering if it's related to MK3, Or I needed to update my bootloader, Odin the new stock rom with Knox or something. I've tried updating PRL and profile, tightened all the screws but to no avail. Its Driving me nuts.

Never had this problem, but i do remember reading from someone that they fixed their issue by turning off location services under google settings?
You may also want to check under app manager, and uninstall any updates to maps?

That and signal problems are widely known issues on AOSP ROMs that aren't for AOSP devices. AOSP's RIL stack just can't hold a signal as well as the software that was made for the device.

Yeah I try going back every now and again, but I usually get 1x signal and no GPS with AOSP so I think I've officially given up on this device. Kudos to those that don't have problems, wish I could say the same but it's Touchwiz only for me until I get a new device.

Download the latest stock .tar file and use Odin. It will update your bootloader and modem. FYI.... I did this a couple weeks ago and it didn't work with any CM bases ROMS. GPS not working is a know problem with AOSP on the S3.

Sorry about noob questions but doesn't Knox block flashing or updating of the bootloader?

Why can't you take the RIL from Touchwiz and put it into an AOSP ROM? I can't be the first to think of this.

Put simply, it doesn't work that way.
My ROM: WICKED X

Ok. Thanks. So as of late, the only way to get GPS working is by going back to stock?
Just another reason to get a nexus...

KNOX is extra security for your device and is not needed to run your ROM. Many TW ROMS have removed it. Its also used for warranty purposes.

It also prevents downgrading firmware, resulting in a brick.[emoji6]

Pizza doesnt like lp thats why he chose kk

now we are talking.. KitKat will never die. PA will be always in my heart (a bit emotional huh?). just because i am getting bored of Lollipop and its memory leaks, bugs and all that.. i will test this. thanks.

Yeeesssss! I've been looking for a kitkat rom for so long ... Sorry for the newbie question but can i install this rom just by following those instructions? I mean, I'm coming from Lollipop, should it give me problems?

Well to install coming from LP, wipe system, data, cache & dalvik-cache, then flash the ROM + GApps and it should work just fine

There already is Lollipop PA, but Team PA hasn't released another Alpha since Alpha 2 so there's nothing new to make

WOW!!
Thanks SO MUCH!
Always hoped this would be available one day. Downloading it now!!
Two questions @Pizza_Dox:
One, how'd you get the source? I don't remember where I saw it, but somebody asked for PA 4.6 and there was a reply that they had taken down the source.
Second question to all - Does anybody know of a nice Lollipop styled theme that won't make me miss it so much? Because as far as stability goes, KK is the best!
Oh, and how's your hand BTW?

Great port Pizza very smooth and stable. I wanted to ask if it's possible to fix some translations, in spanish language some options still remains in english (just saying) and in another release add the possibility to change the screen off animation :good: Great work and thanks for your effort, really loving Kit Kat again

Animations lag a lot
For me, the animations are very buggy - other than that, very stable.
Can someone confirm this?
But I can't use it with that :/ - temporarily back to BlissPop.

I'm facing these problem when Dynamic Status Bar gets enabled. Did you turn on that option?

Thank you
I really dont want to divert from the roms current state, like no extra features n stuff, keep it PA, , but translations are very easy to patch by hand, just decompile the specific apk with the issue and there are tutorials on exactly how to add new languages to the xmls and etc...
