My friend has an xperia m single sim model running latest official firmware and its is very slow. Hangs quite often and takes 2 to 3 swipes to unlock the screen. So i thought ill flash the phone with a custom rom.
Im good with flashing phones and have done it a lot. I always do my research before flashing to get the best rom for the phone. But with this phone i am stuck. I dont think i have found a stable rom yet. I know i should not ask which is the best rom but still can someone suggest a rom which can be flashed to this phone.
The problem is that after i will be meeting my friend for a day and i cannot flash it for a long time. So i dont want to put a rom and then after few days he finds serious bugs.
So some suggestion please. I usually go for omnirom or cm11.Some advice regarding rom,kernel,recovery would help me a lot
Thanks

Try Latest build of CM11 FXP, that is most Stable Rom according to me.
I'd say it's latest build from FXP (it's 326 so far). No serious bug or annoying UI. go for it. :good:
i will go with cm11 then.Thank you guys one more doubt. Does cyandelta work with fxp builds?

Guys I just received my phone from service after the SDS syndrome.
I flashed to PACman ROM and PRObam 4.4.6 and 4.3 nightliy but with all three I am having problem with WiFi.
It seems to not been able to connect with all three.It says saved and then does not connect.
Any ideas? Otherwise what would you recommend me to flash to right now?
Please help me because I need a solution asap. I don't even have the stock rom and I need to download it, so I'd like to hear your opinions before I do.

well try phoenix rom if want the 4.1.2 as for me the default sometime created problem connecting to wifi which still does and temporary solution solves it but its irritating when phone takes time or does not connect,which I found that the phoenix rom used to connect in a sec as it should be and never had problems connecting
Yeah,being this your first flashing experience,i suposed,why did you chose the 4.3 builds?I think wifi thing is 4.3 issue,if you want fast buttery smoth everlasting juice deliciusness flash thunder lite rom...

Thanks I will try it, I am out of solutions for fixing this weird issue with the CM 10.2 custom based ROMs. Just in case that 4.1.2 creates issues as well, can you recommend me your best 4.1.1 which works like a charm for me now?

No this is far from my first flashing experience even with Note 2. It's my first flashing experience as I said after receiving my phone from SDS syndrome (mobo was swapped). Why shouldn't I flash to the newest build if I can?
It had 4.1.1 and worked great as it works now with a custom 4.1.1 rom. The problem is with other custom ROMs and yes everything works amazing except WiFi connection with the CM 10.2 based that I tested (Nightly,Probam,PAC).
It should be a software issue with some devices in this code.

well stay away from 4.1.1 rom as its prone to sds so avoid it and yes thunderlite is even an amazing rom fast and stable now its upto you what u choose plus thunderlite has the battery advantage too if you go for phoenix choose 240dpi mode in aroma and enjoy the beauti of the beast ,the choice is yours, earlier i have tried N7100 Resurrection Remix® but in that case too wifi worked fine for me ,I would suggest a complete wipe install ,even wiping your system but do a backup of your current before proceeding in case.

Also tried 4.2.2 RootBox before and it still gives me the problem with WiFi. There's definitely something fishy going on with anything from 4.1.2 and above for me from what I've tested with 6 different ROMs..About the SDS syndrome I checked with eMMC program and it says it's a sane chip this time, before it warned me it was an insane one and after some time my phone had died on me.
Anyway I've had enough, just finished installing Phoenix V13 and tweaking the basics. Works amazing thus far and it looks like a great rom. WiFi works great and I think I'll stay with this one for the time being.
10 days without this beast were A LOT, I'm bored looking even further I hope this one will serve me well..

Which kernel are you using and what params for that ( if any ?)...?

well, right now i have franko kernel installed , no params adjusted... not even sure where i would find the section in settings.. on a stock Verizion JB 4.2... im not even sure what would be the best rom to try
some one suggested MetalC.. but i cant find the Gapps that work with that one... so what i need is a solid ROM, Kernel and Gapps..
i was able to root via the Nexus Root Tool kit... that went well... but now i need to decide what Toro version rom i need to use.. and im keeping an eye out to see if the Franko kernel brings any joy for those random reboots and shutdowns... the guy i bought the Gnex from said he will do a full refund but i want to sort this out if possible... this little machine is too cool just to cash out on...
time to research on roms and stuff i guess..

For 4.4 go for cMetal / Playfulgod / dhacker's CM builds, for a 4.3 experience i dunno any one for toro and for kernel i think you can try out MpoKang as it can be flashed on 4.3 and up just have a look in the official thread and you'll be able to find zips plus use trickster app for the kernel control :good: !!
well, a bit of a followup friday swapped out the stock kernel for Franko kernel... and i have had it on for about most of the day yesterday and zero random shutdowns and no SOD.. this little thing is great and its a lot more easy to have this around then a remote for 2 google tv a roku and an xbmc box... i have not delved into new roms, the JB stock seems to be working fine im getting at least 10 hrs out of the battery... this is be best micro tablet i could ever find for 70 bucks... and the screeen is quite nice.. im sure i will be moding soon enough... but for now just a kernel change seems to have put an end to the sleep of death and random shutoffs..
Hello, name's Mike, have been in the android side for a while and it's my first time actually owning an US version of a phone, the N900T (T-Mobile Note 3) running 5.0 stock TW. (I don't live in the US)
So please, enlighten me!
ROOT AND RECOVERY
I have tried to root it and did it successfully, however when I tried to get a custom recovery on it, I only got boot loops so far, tried various tutorials, none of them have yet worked out for me.
CUSTOM ROMS
Are there any current custom rom development for this phone? I've seen lots of KK roms but I was looking to get a stable lollipop AOSP like rom like CM12 but without crashes or battery drain. Does anyone know any good roms that are stable?
PORTING
Also! How do you port a N9005 rom to a 900T? I've seen some methods by flashing a BT+Wifi fix or something like that but it seems outdated and I don't want to brick my phone just yet.
Please, please help me out, I am really out of it. Used to Custom rom on a Huawei U8650, Galaxy S2 and on my G2, but this is harder due to it being a carrier phone.
Thanks for your comprehension.
Did you download the right TWRP? Get the tar file and odin it.
https://dl.twrp.me/hltetmo/
Did you check the N900T development forum? There is quite a few to select from. I.E. Slim
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2638116
Sorry can't help you with porting.

Personaly I received my phone a week and a half ago. I used stock for a week to be sure that all works and then I unlocked the bootloader-unlock, installed twrp and flashed jaguar. I think that this rom is even faster than stock without any delay between the button press and the action. And even if a rom is less powerful I think that with sd820 there is no risk that it can be really felt. Just choose the right roms and you will not have any problem
Its a good phone i have one

There is no N rom for this phone with battery life or stability even close to any stock KK or LP rom. All ROMs after LP are experimental and buggy to some degree. Also, since there is no official stock rom after LP, anything else would require a computer to unlock bl.
I would suggest flashing the MX ROM as far as I know this is the LP with best battery life now. It can be installed on locked bootloader and is as stable as stock LP.

Thanks for ur suggestion. Yes i know mx rom. Been reading the forum for a litle while. Worth to try
And not to forget that there are no security patches for stock LP since.... a long time. That is why a lot are using new roms although the battery life is not so great in comparison to stock roms.
Guys forget about MX rom! There is new ROM by munjeni out there. It is based on Lineage OS 14.1. It has decent battery life, good camera (almost like on stock), great stability, all security patches and is smooth like butter.

Im straight to it now
Thanks mate
yes, that rom from munjeni also looks the best for me. When I have time I will upgrade fom to Jaguar ROM to that one.
If you have stock KITKAT you CAN'T flash 5.1 or newer roms via recovery.
This is because from android L the partition scheme is changed, so you MUST use flashtool to flash first the stock LP ROM.
If you flash a LP rom via dual recovery in kitkat you'll brick your phone!
And I'm surprised that no one said it to you.
Once you flashed stock LP, rooted, installed REAL RECOVERY and unlocked bootloader, you can install any custom ROM.
If you don't unlock your bootloader you can flash ONLY STOCK BASED rom.
Cheers, and good luck. (I hope you didn't brick you phone)
