Hi
I installed Blackhawk kernel sm t211 so now I feel my device works slowly and was not that I wanted.
Please upload stock kernel of SM T211 for me.
Thanks.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
I need it.(stock kernel SM-T211)
Since no replies to you yet, I'm new to all this so there might be a better solution but what I would do is either:
1) If you did a Recovery backup of your Stock or before you installed the kernel in either TWRP/CWM, flash it.
or
2) download mode and use Odin to install the STOCK Firmware. From my experience, it doesn't erase your user data and apps just reverts your device to stock along with the bloatwares so you'll have to do it again if you've debloated previously. Also, you also need to redo installing the recovery and rooting.
Good luck! I have blackhawk installed and didn't encounter problems with lag. :angel:
Thanks man!
Although I knew that I should flash a ROM.(I'm not a beginner)
My T211 performs not bad but it isn't stable like before flash kernel! also battery life is less than before.
Now I want to flash infamous ROM and try it ! is this ROM attractive?

The blackhawk kernel writes to system so the system.img is one that you need to return to stock kernel. It's too big to share lol and it's in the stock firmware anyway.
Sadly our device doesn't have many devs yet and most of them has stopped. I have tried infamous, it's stock, debloated, and with other apps included. You can see how it looks like in this vid. Skip near the end to see how it looks like because it's a tutorial on how to install it.
The SEAL ROM, never worked for me so I didn't try it. The most promising for me is 4.2.2 port, sadly it's stopped for now.
Personally, what I just did was to root, blackhawk kernel, debloat (you can use this script to debloat it), install adw launcher, uccw, and zooper for added visual. I've also tried these since I play games mostly GLtools and Pure Graphics HD. Mine wasn't lagging so far so I haven't notice the difference yet.
Tnx
but now I think that Tab 3.7 is a very poor tab,sadly!! and we should uninstall,flash,debloat until this device become a acceptable device!
but another......even cheap china devices(lenovo) or dell are better performance and cheaper.
But, I love my Tab 3.7 like my M8,nevertheless
Hi! First of all, I speak french, so my English isn't perfect, I understand 99% of what you say, but you will probably only understand 50% of what I say...
My HTC One V is very slow and lags alot. I want a custom ROM that will makes it way faster! Which one?
There are many things that I don't use on my phone, so maybe there are some ROMs with ripped features? For exemple, I don't have a sim card, so I don't need to be able to talk, I only use my phone to go on the internet, use messenger and listen to music.
Once I find the ROM I want, I need to install it... but how?
Can someone give me a link or explain me step by step how to do that? I'm a nood with phone/android, but I'm very good with computers, so I will probably understand easily.
Thanks!
Interesting.. If you read a little in android and maybe extract a rom once in a while, you could come pretty far in removing the features you don't need. So you make your own slimmed down ROM.
I am currently running Ignorance: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400633
But I think of switching to Shpongle: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230656
Cheers
You could try shpongle, it is a fast ROM. Also you could use apps like greenify, lagfix & Seeder to keep your phone at peak performance. Personally I think it is a good practice to flash a ROM every 4-5 months to maintain optimal performance. You could use ease backup for backing up data before flashing.
ROM for daily use
I would suggest Ignorance ROM for daily use (as per your usage).
Also read and read more about rooting and flashing custom recovery and custom ROM before you jump into rooting.
That will help you not to panic

Hi all,
Personally I'm running CM on an Xperia device, so I'm already golden.. but my flatmate has a Galaxy W and is about to trade it in for a *gasp* iPhone, because her W is too slow and outdated.
I've told her that she could probably get more life out of it with a custom ROM, but I've never had a Samsung device so am not sure what the best ROM to go for would be - particularly on this older model.
Can anyone recommend what I could try installing for her? She's not an advanced user in any respect, and will just want something as fast and as stable as possible. I instinctively though of CM for her W too, but didn't know if that was necessarily the best option or what the most stable version would be.
So - what do you suggest?
Cheers! schnide
cm9 is the most stable cm rom for galaxy w
download it here
Yea, CM9 is the most stable ROM around here next to Gingerbread. The guides to flash recovery is also available for you to check out and to flash it can be done right on the device itself :thumbup:

i'm still using gb, i too want to upgrade a new phone since there r many cheap power models nowadays.
i've tried many custom roms, tweaks n enhancement apps, too many bugs, annoyances n will take up too much resources.
always rolled back to gb afterwards due to bugs, annoyances n lag lustre.
i did compiled a few tricks from xda to make gb run fast n smooth together with holo launcher update it comparable to new.

even iphone6 have bugs, will wait a bit longer for apple to straighten up thus still hold on to gw.
CM11 is a good option. It's obviously not as finished as CM9, but it's stable enough to be a daily driver, and KitKat's lower system requirements helps, too.
Hello. I used Note 2 two years ago and then I gave it to my uncle.
Now he is very much complaining about lagging and battery.
So he gave it to me to fix it.
I know most of things about rooting and flashing. I use cm13 in my other mobile.
So I decided to install custom rom.
Now my request to all that please suggest me a good rom which is complete bug free, smooth and battery friendly.
I know its not good to ask, but I have only today to download and install..
so please dont answer like check by yourself.
whatever you feel about prticular rom then please reply. If with bugs then please tell me which are they?
If bug is like fm radio or exfat support, then they dont count for me.
Thanks in advance.
dont get angry on me.
The most stable and bug-free ROM I have used is a stock ROM.
To increase battery life, you could re-flash stock, wipe, root, and remove unnecessary apps.
Dear folks,
a few months ago I brought my Nexus 5x and consigering that I was using my Samsung Galaxy S3 before a new world opened for me instantly. Now I have the Android version on my phone that is current right now actually. I have a clean user interface to interact with and the most satisfying point is that I am not forced to use my phone with such an amount of bloatware as it was the case with samsung.
In the past I used my GS3 only with custom roms like cynaogenmod (R.I.P.) because of this ugly and laggy touchwiz. With this way I was able to consume the new android versions aswell and profit from the pure stock android experience I newer was allowed to consume with samsungs software trash.
Now I owned my N5x and things changed. Now it is self-evident, that I can experience stock android. My device doesn't lag with any task anymmore and I got not too much unnecessary apps preinstalled. Well I rooted my device and finally got the best android experience since I use smartphones. No more wishes unfulfilled.
That got me thinking...
I really loved the fact, that I was able to flash any rom on my previous phone that I wanted to and I was not willing to use my phone without these. But now when I got my nexus I do not see the advantages of custom roms anymore.
I do not need to flash a custom rom to get stock android.
I do not need to flash a custom rom to get the newest android version. The opposite is even the case since the nexus devices get every update first.
Thank to the community behind the nexus series even the additional features of some custom roms aren't an argument anymore considering the fact, that most features came out as a flashable zip file for the stock roms or I use substratum or xposed (when it finally arrives in nougat :angel: ).
So I considered wether I should give lineage OS for the N5x a try or not and I do not see the point why I should flash it. I would not get anything in addition, that I miss now I guess.
So what du you think, guys? Are android custom roms still worth it? Why should I flash a custom rom? Why do you do it? Let me know in the comments.
If you are happy with stock, why change it??
I use custom ROM just for ease of theming. And some shuttle customisations.
Lineage OS does not include theming, so i won't go for it. If you want to experiment, try something with OMS7 theming baked in. My daily driver is ABC ROM.
I used the stock ROM for a very long time, and was very happy with it. In fact, switching to a custom ROM saw very little difference, esp in look/feel of the OS. You are absolutely right that the main reasons for a custom ROM are negated by the fact that we're running a stock android that gets updated very frequently.
That said, I will say that after using a custom ROM/kernel, I don't really want to go back to stock. I could if I need to, and would work fine, but there are a number of small things that I am using that I really like. I get MUCH better battery life on a rooted ROM with kernel. I can set up custom profiles for doing what I need to do, when I need to do it. Some of the Magisk camera modules for these are great, and recording video is much better (60fps with EIS). I also don't like having my /data encrypted, as I feel like it slows the phone down for no reason.
So yeah, stock is fantastic, but there are small things that do make it worth it.

1st mate welcome to stock community of android, that happen when you buy a nexus(pixel now) , stock rom is perfect!! i change time to time roms, now i use stock/lockbooloader. there 2 reasons,well if you like more..... the are 2 tipes of ppl...
lets start form the basic.
1) why you pick a nexus? the most classic answer to this is.... cose i like the stock experience(true that is great) and cose is the only devices that take 1st and fastest updates for 2 years(true that too )
2) and now comes the question. sould i root my nexus? and why i do this, the phone feels great, is fast and not lag at all.
the answer to this is cose with an unlockbootloader a new world opens to custom roms,kernels,mods/apks/themes. yes the icons and feels is more or less the same... but is not the same 100%!!
so in your case think what realy you want from a custom rom before you unlock the bootloader, the reason that some times i root my nexus is 3....1)cose i like to have a tone of customaze in settings/nav bars/themes etc 2) i like the daily or weekly updates God i love the icon in notification bar when i see it LOL.. 2)and finally some better battery life with a custom kernel!!
so next time think what you want from a custom rom!!
i have test a lot of them!!
if you like customized settings etc LOS(lineage os) is not good! los is stable/daily rom with daily updates/support with some extras in settings but not big deal, is close to stock when it comes to customized!!
full customazed roms and good for daily use is DIRTY UNICORNS D.U // RESURACTION REMIX A.K.A RR // TESLA,VALIDUS ROMS // BLISS ROM // AND OFC PURE NEXUS P.N
but other roms like android ice cold project a.k.a A.I.C.P and Mokee rom is good fast or daily support updates.
p.s sry for my bad english!! i hope to help you!

You cant use custom kernel on stock rom? or mods like the 60 fps recording? I thought you could
I always use custom roms because of the personalization. Not themes but features, some of them are great. Also updating is so easy just download zip and flash from recovery.
Stock rom OTAs encrypt data and install stock recovery and I dont like that, also It is said custom roms are smoother. I still have to try pixel rom though, which is based on stock rom
I wrote this question for my pixel last week. It's probably bc I've been flashing for a long time but it's nice when things work correctly which sometimes doesn't happen with custom ROMs. For me I've been happy with stock but with a custom kernel and root. I still use root and a customer kernel cleans up the performance but stock rom is good for me.

I think you mis-read what I meant earlier, or (more probably) I wasn't clear. When I meant "stock", I meant 100% stock, meaning stock ROM, stock kernel, locked bootloader, no root, etc.
If you used a stock ROM with a custom kernel and Magisk, you could get a lot of those same things, I'm sure. There are still small reasons why I like Pure Nexus ROM, tho, like the battery bar tweaks (removing the icon and having a thin bar on the top), night mode, the Pixel launcher, etc. Plus, I don't have to have the FULL gapps suite, I can only have what I want installed.

Coming from flashing ROMs and kernels on an HTC EVO, Galaxy S2, S3, and S5, it was nice to finally be on stock and not feel the need to do it anymore. I was going to after a few months but updates really improved the experience for me compared to it's original release.

I won't buy a phone that doesn't have the ability to run custom roms. Particularly, CM / Lineage. So for example, the Pixel is out.
1. I get to choose what starts up with during boot up.
2. I get to stop unnecessary apps from running in the background. Guess what I don't want an app running if I don't have it open. Turns out my wife doesn't either for most of her apps. Do you need apps chew through mobile data or tracking your every move even though you don't have them open?
3. I block many apps from data / wifi entirely. They can't load junk like ads, phone home etc.
4. I easily block various applications from my data, as needed. A game does not need access to my contacts, etc.
5. There is still a lot of customization that can be done in the custom roms in regards to layout and such that is not in stock roms.
I realize that some of those things can be done in the stock ROM once you are rooted, or there are work around ways to do sort of do these in other ways without root, however many those are just some of the things I can list off the top of my head that you can only sort of do or only partially do in stock form.
(It's been a long time since I've run a stock ROM, so let me know if it's changed, I could be off base?)
We're not talking kernels, but once you starting tweaking the kernel, plus keep all the crap from running in the background you can get decent battery life out of this phone.
