I searched everywhere but coundnt find a succesfull way. I prefer S5 themed roms to stock rom. But there is a problem new snote is AWFUL i hate it i so i cant have new rom and s note 2012 at the same time. Old snote is very very important for me. Isnt developers found a way to use it with new roms. And yes i did look old posts about that some guy asked same thing and nobody answered it he posted it a year ago in another post someone gave link for flashable snote.apk but i tried that and it kept crashing every second so i had to reflash rom. I hope you guys dont look and skip this post.

This might be a stupid question but since I am new to Android world I gotta ask...
Is there a link where I can see step by step on how to install a new ROM on my Evo? Also a place to find all the ROM's avail...
I cant find it anywhere....
I'm not sure how updated this is but it does have quite the list of available ROMS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
There's quite a few vids on youtube regarding backing things up and flashing i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvWcIBcZvxw
Post back if you have any issues and I'll help you.
Im going to just put this out there.
I have to post ten times here? to be able to post on a different area of this website? Bogus. Just because I havent posted doesnt mean I do not know anthing about the process. I follow instructions as they are posted and end up with very few questions if any, and almost always find the answer in this forum by reading my butt off. It just seems lame that after reading a thousand pages of a forum on a ROM I cant post a quick question on that forum. Anyway, Its ROM specific and this thread has nothing to do with it.
Enough crying like a 3 year old........
I downgraded a GS3 I747 from 4.1.2, to 4.1.1 root injected (Mr. Robinson), installed TWRP v.2.6.3.1 and did a flawless flash of Hyperdrive 16. This was my first smartphone, first flash, first anything when it comes to this world and I love the ideas, concepts, and especially this community. I am now wanting to venture out into some other ROM types, i.e. AoCP, AOKP. But after reading through the entire 214 pages of the AoCP collective project. I would like to try it, I need to post questions in that post related to that ROM though. What I have gathered is that I need to flash the bootloader, and modem before I flash the ROM or it will fail. Coming from a Stock Mod, I am wondering about the specific steps involved for coming from Hyperdrive to this.
Thanks and I should have just busted this up into ten posts huh?
I cant post in the rom thread because im a new member but from what i was reading the rom is Verizon compatible but when i flashed it didnt get any service. Someone said R49 made the rom compatible but i have been on iPhone for the last 3 years i have no idea how to flash the R49 fix. If someone could help a N00b out it would be much appreciated.
hi i have updated new rom venom viper 3.1.0 ...
after installing my wifi is not working ...i even cant press it ..
please someon help ..
its written that if i dont update it wifi will stop but after installing new rom wifi is not working
please help
You have to update your firmware it literally says that you must update your firmware otherwise it stops working go back to previous version or update and next time read before flashing if you dont you might mess up a device one day
Here is the rom thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705292
Asking there would have been your best option.
But... Reading roms opening posts, or however many posts they have at the beginning is a good way to find info.
And another tip.... Reading the last few pages of any rom thread will often tell you what issues people are having... If any.
But again... Asking for help with issues after installing a rom are best asked in the rom threads. ?
Well lets get this off by saying im not a noob at rooting or flashing.
but with the differences between how the s3 acted and the s4 id like to ask for basic help which includes:
1.) Which roms work with the tmo version of the phone. (this includes the unified section) i know the d2tmo worked with the d2att amazingly is this still true?
2.) Kernels which is best for the tmo version (what works with tmo with little worries of breaking device
3.) any other help on the matter of flashing roms or other stuff what works with jfltetmo version. (sorry if the acronym is wrong please correct me)
4.) this post isnt just for me but for everyone who recently changed to this device. (remember most may be noobs. so go noob friendly when replying with answers thanks.)
reason for making this thread is simply for fast help. not to be thrown to the "wolfs" (.zip) and left to fend for our selfs. thanks again for reading and thanks for replying will love to see other "basic stuff to know" posted here.
I see the s4 community is of no help to anyone .
Sad. . . I could get more help from a dead fourm but not here
Probably the reason nobody answered is that we saw you have something like 400 posts, and more than 100 thanks, so by now you should know that most of your questions are easily answered by perusing the Tmo S4 General forum (for basic info on flashing ROMs and such, locations of recovery downloads etc.). "Which is the best" (ROM, Kernel etc.) discussions aren't appropriate, because we all know that situations differ and best for you may be different than best for me. It's best we avoid the religious wars that can start up.
As for which ROMs work, go to the Tmo S4 Android Development and Original Android Development forums. They all work, some better than others, with plenty of info in the threads devoted to each one. And, the "best kernel" will to some extent depend on the ROM you pick.
Nobody threw you to the wolves, but based on your post/thanks count you should have been able to better position your questions. Maybe show having done the minimum of research first (well, you did reference jfltetmo which is why I bothered to respond).
If you're interested, my M919 is updated to the OH3 firmware via the stock firmware (from Sammobile), plus TWRP 2.8.7.0 (got it from thread in the General forum) and the GPE 5.1 ROM posted by Danvdh (from the Android Development forum). Not sure if it's "the best" but it has been very stable for me for the last few weeks and I'm quite happy with it. It runs whatever kernel it came with.
Thanks for the reply. An no I'm not a pro I just find helping people better then being quite.
With the new phone I have no clue as I have came from s3 and before that was the sidekick 4g so I know the big differences and I know to be careful. The sidekick 4g I have bricked a few times with a experimental update to 2.3(sad that the development is dead now)
And also the s3 worked with atnt almost 90% of the time. Which is why I must ask for help here. As no other thread seems to recognize which ROMs (variants) worked with the phone and it seems like there is no kernel for the phone 5.1.1
I see some post about i9505 working for m919 is this true..? Prefer not to lose anything right now
There has been no official T-Mo release of Lollipop (either 5.0 or 5.1x) for it. There is a thread about using the i9505 firmware in the M919 but I haven't tried it.
Most people just flash one of the more popular Dev-created ROMs such as the Google Play Edition (GPE) 5.1 ROM that Danvdh posted... there's probably half a dozen or more very popular ones that work well and include a working kernel as part of the ROM that gets flashed. Plus lots more less popular ones.
I'm with AT&T also... the GPE ROM came with an ATT APN that automagically got selected the first time I booted the phone after flashing, and I had no problem using ATT using this phone/ROM/firmware [OH3] version.
Best of luck to you. I'll be departing the S4 sub-forums pretty soon. Just a little while ago I killed my S4 phone. it slipped from my hand, hit the floor hard on the corner, and cracked the screen. It still works but I'm going to buy something a year newer. Sigh.

Thanks for the reply it just seems like s4 tmo is dead.
Also I ask about a separate kernel because its been one of the things I don't trust just the ROM itself to do as right now the ROM dies faster then the charge is (just typing this.)
