[Q] Problems with Stock ROM, and recommendations for a non-android User.

Hello Everyone!
First of all I want to say that this is not directly help for me, but for my girlfriend. I dont know you guys, but she is tired of her stock ROM since it freezes a lot of times, and yes, I have checked it, I tried updating, hardreset...etc and after a week the phone gets a lot of performance issues.
So my question is, I would like a modified ROM from the official last update if it exist, I mean that everything is working on the phone and it is of course faster than stock phone. This is not a questions "which is the best" nope, I just want to hear your reccommendations because I am not a user of this phone and I dont know very well all different versions etc. Furthermore I have read a lot on the forums, and i have a small idea what could work for this case.
for example:
Since this is a mod from a Stock ROm, It shoudnt has any problem, Isnt it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400633
My big concern is that Im not the user of the phone, and you now what happens with "users" if something is not working...
Happy new Year!

You can use WinDroid 2.0 toolkit. If u want good ROM... Ignorance is really good but try something from higher shelf HTCdroid. It's the best ROM for HTC One V! The smoothest and the fastest. But a lot of ROMs has one issue. Data usage doesn't work... Why? I don't know I'm working on it but here is one ROM what haven't got it it's MoDaCo.one Ir2 here it works. But it's outdated so use newer ROM like Ignorance!
Cheers and good experiences with unlocked HOV

thanks but, the main ones have good 3G connection right?? I mean ignorance and HTCDroid right??
Im starting the process, man this stock ROM gives problems even while sync contacts

If you are tired of sense shpongle is the way to go. If you are okay with it, pick htcdroid. Both best in its classes. Htcdroid seems bugless or only minor bugs visible while shpongle got camera dead - you need 3rd party apk.

[Q] having issues on my phone ever since i installed custom roms

I checked every where couldn't find the solution sorry if someone already had this issue let me know ill go their and delete this thread.
So i rooted my galaxy s2 3 weeks ago i installed paranoid android on it and was happy with it but for two days, the phone was freezing alot and i dont use ram extensive apps just your normal calling and texting, not only that when someone would call me sometimes i wouldn't hear them and they wouldn't hear me, sometimes i click the unlock button and it would take a very long time to show the lockscreen or not show at all my batterys is alway charge so thats not the issue now im on cyanogen 11.0 rom and im having the same issue and i have the latest kernal also my recovery is cfw and its the latest version aswell.
Question: can you suggest me a stable simple rom all i would need it for is calling texting a little browsing and i would use apps like viber and candycrush literally the only two thing i use on my phone. Or tell me why this is happing would also help.

I use AOSPA and don't have any of those problems. Well technically I can't say any since I haven't tried calling yet but none if the other problems. Did you clean flash or dirty flash? Also, did you mean your recovery is CWM? I've never heard if cfw.

It's a T989, right? If so, here is the ROM link ( http://aospal.hostingsharedbox.com/aospal/roms/hercules/) and here are the gapps ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942). You need either the mini or the micro gapps for it to flash right. And here is the AOSPA thread for the T989 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313530)

You have to expect occasional bugs with any aosp roms.... The devs have done a great job keeping this device current.... Considering official support ended with 4.1.2.
If you want total stability on your phone.... Stock 4.1.2 TouchWiz might suit you best.
Just my 2 cents. ?

You might try using a stable Jelly Bean ROM that's been around for a while, such as the older builds of CyanogenMod (10.1.3), AOKP (JB-MR1), SlimBean 4.2.2, etc. If you still have a bad experience with those, you should probably go back to stock. You can always root and install Xposed on stock for extra tweaks.

Losing all the Baseband and Modem settings after flashing an AOSP ROM.

Good evening everyone. I recently got this phone from the Black Friday deal at Best Buy for 80$ and rooted and did all of that without much problem. I installed the Wicked ROM without any issues, and tested it out but I prefer AOSP. But when I flash Cyanogen or Bliss, I lose all of the mobile data , the baseband, here I include a screenshot. I have flashed a stock ROM once again, activated it again without any problem, but when I try to flash an AOSP ROM again I lose everything. Is there anything I can do about that? I have searched the forums and Google and found no solutions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you check to make sure that the md5 matched? Anytime I've had that happen either the md5 didn't match, or I needed to use a different kernel. My Goto kernel for AOSP ROMs has been BMS.

Thanks for the tip, tried flashing Cyanogenmod with that kernel and the same thing happens, I lose all of the settings related to the Baseband, Modem and IMEI. I checked the md5 and it matches completely. I have no idea what is happening. For now I settled into the Conquest Singulalirty ROM which provides an ASJOP look but on offical firmware. But still I would like to know how to solve this problem so if anyone has any tips that would be greatly appreciated.

Is your phone the L710T model by any chance? I had the same problem with every rom I tried EXCEPT for Gummy 3.0. For some reason Gummy 3.0 recognizes my baseband/modem but if I try Gummy 4.0 or any other AOSP rom, no baseband.

Flash the file here: http://androidforums.com/threads/mo...apn-fix-wip-cm-aosp-4-4-x.840298/#post6516416
It will modify necessary files in the system to allow you to connect. Also, dial ##72786# to reactivate after flashing. That all worked for me on my Virgin S3 running Carbon. Good luck!

The SPH-L710T is what was on sale at BestBuy for $80 (as I found out after running into a similar problem), and it's a pain in the ass. It seems that TW ROMs are the only ones that don't break the radio... and the M10 snapshot of CM11 apparently (except rotation is backwards). I'm looking for a fix as well.
It seems that all of this can be fixed by a custom kernel, but there's no AOSP/CM kernel (that I know of) that fixes both.
I wish I knew something about kernel development...

That is exactly the one that I have, the 80$ Best Buy from Black Friday. Yeah, I tried what metalhead131 said and it did not work. Hmmm, M10 snapshot worked for you? I will try it out them to see how it goes. In what way did it break the rotation? It does not rotate or is it inaccurate? It is a pain in the ass that we have so many ROMS available but we can't use them. I have been using the Conquest Singularity by Moon Knight. The one that is here in XDA is kinda of outdated but if you Google it you will find his blog with the latest update. He created an AOSP looking ROM but it is TW underneath. That combined with Gravity Box has satisfied me for now, but I hate no being able to flash AOSP ROMS. I know nothing about kernel development, but if someone wants to help with this I can provide anything they need in order to fix this problem with this T version of the phone.
I will try to take the kernel of the M10 and flash it with another ROM to see if the rotation works. I will update as soon as I do that.

Yeah, the radio worked with the M10 snapshot. I was able to get the latest version of ParanoidAndroid to work with the M10 snapshot kernel as well.
When I say rotation is broken I mean when you hold it sideways, it rotates the wrong way, so it's upside down.

Excellent. Thanks for the good news! That doesn't bother me that much, so I will do that with the Bliss ROM that I wanted to install. I will keep investigating and trying things to see if we can fix the rotation issue. I will keep the thread updated.

Semi-Fix for the rotation issue on the M10 kernel.
After checking some apps out, I found one that worked well for the rotation problem using AOSP ROMS on the troublesome SPH-L710T. The app is called Adaptive Rotation Lock and is available for free on the Play Store. What it does is that a little button pops up everytime you rotate your phone, and if you don't click that button the screen will not rotate. So once you put your phone horizontallly, click on the button that pops up to allow the phone to rotate upside-down, then rotate the phone so it is not upside-down anymore, but do not click the button, so it stays in the correct rotation. It is a little cumbersome, but it beats always being upside down while using the phone horizontally! I think this is a good option while we find out how to fix this issue in the kernel.

Greeting kdude63. Thanks to your tips I was able to test many roms and as you settled on Paranoid Android. The only problem I have right now is that intermittently point I lose cell coverage for like 2 minutes, but then I get it back. Does that happen on your phone?
I have also tried many kernels to see if I find another one that works but no go. I am still using the M10 boot.img. Have you found another one that works?
And thanks for helping out with the ODIN tar for this phone! It makes me feel a lot more safe when I am experimenting.

I don't currently use PA or CM as my daily driver, so I don't know. (I don't like dealing with the rotation issues)
I was testing some other kernels earlier, none of them worked before I got careless and accidentally flashed an i9300 kernel, so I can't use my phone for the time being.

Yep, I flashed it normally. Using Philz I got the Wicked 8 zip file and a couple of the addons that are available without any problems but since I don't like the Touchwiz UI too much I am currently running Conquest. Maybe try the full Wicked 8 zip? I did not try the barebones, but I can confirm that Wicked 8 works on the T model. It has the rotation issue but a couple of post ago I described how to get around that. Let me know if it works!

I'm glad! At least we can use Touchwiz based ROMs while we can find a way to create a kernel that is completely compatible with the T model. Is your rotation working correctly?

Yes rotation is working and with the next few updates on CM side they will be fully working on the T model cause CM already updated a fix for the T model

I got spooked when the baseband disappeared and rotation was not working. Went back to stock. Of course you also seem to need the special 2.7 twrp in order to mount system. But the price was right.

[Q] Why won't this work? I'm clueless.

Okay so I'm trying to help my girlfriend flash CM11 on her Galaxy S3 i747 (US AT&T). Everything is just fine. I did not use the installer. I rooted, flashed TWRP (latest from the website), downloaded CM11 M12 from official download website and flashed it. Everything is working. Except for Skype. When it's a voice call, it's just fine. But as soon as she turns her camera on to start a video chat, it works for about five seconds, then Skype crashes. Here's the weird (and very irritating) part. This isn't limited to this ROM. I've tried CM11 M3 (yes. I went that low), I've tried AOKP (which got stuck in a bootloop at first boot, gave up), and Paranoid Android, LiquidSmooth, SlimKat. All from XDA, and the latest versions possible. They all have the exact same problem. Stock camera app works fine in all (except for a few times in which case a soft reboot fixed it.) I'm at a loss of ideas here. I've even tried a combination of running a different kernel. I tried running ParanoidAndroid with a Quantum 6 kernel. But still the exact same problem. Nothing I try seems to work.
I would go back to stock, but she likes iPhone emojis. So I wanna flash a 4.4.x+ ROM so I can change the emojis after rooting. Colored emojis aren't possible on Android 4.3 and below. And there is no official 4.4 ROM for this phone. What else should I try? Am I missing something?
Also, if I turn MY camera on, then her Skype shows my video stream just fine. Never crashes. It's only when she turns HER camera on the S3 that it starts to be stupid. All other apps work fine. We've been working on this for two weekends now.
I'm not new to flashing and rooting. Been doing it for a long time now with my phones and other people. But this is driving me nuts.
Bootloader and modem work fine. I flashed the bootloader to I747UCDMG2 and the modem to the same I747UCDMG2 before flashing CM11 for the first time. I don't wanna update the bootloader to I747UCUEMJB because Knox. (I had to deal with that on my phone, so no thank you.) Plus I don't think the bootloader has something to do with this, does it? If it's any help, I run an unofficial CM12 5.0.2 on a GT-i9500. I'll be grateful to anyone who can at least give me an idea of what Skype's deal is.

Don't I need a Samsung kernel for that? And do you mean like a port from the stock i747 OS? I think it has something to do with the kernel and not the ROM since this bug is not ROM exclusive. It happens on everything.

The CM camera isn't the most stable ever and all those roms build from the same tree if I'm not mistaken. Also there is an official 4.4 update for the S3.

ok , here is a stock 4.4.2 with root and busybox (i think the only changes) as OP says you will have to flash ktonnsez' kernel since on lower bootloader. maybe a stock ROM could get skype to work. OR maybe your tired of flashing. lol. dont know what else. (clean skype's cache and if that doesnt work clean data(?) thats weak , but.....

What is the best custom ROM for N900T?

Hi guys. I have bad network reception on my N900T after upgrade to 5.0 Lollipop. I didn't want to install custom roms but I decided to try some to see how will my phone work with custom rom. Some custom rom with all working options will be awesome to try. Ty in advance

First your going to have reception issues with majority of custom roms. But it is easy to fix most issues that can occur.
My faves in order for 5.* sm-n900t are
Pac-rom - very easy to customize and tweak. Also light and fast. It's built from the best parts from many different roms.
Dompop - cool to use lots of different mods and such. Haven't used the latest nightly but one from a month ago had issues with lte signal but was simple to fix.
Cm 12.1 - although not as good as cm10 or cm12 was, 12.1 is a great Rom that shows off the experience the developers have gain over the countless roms for countless devices they've done.
Reply back and I can do you a quick tut and direct links to files needed. Currently using twrp and pac-rom 5.1.2

AryaMod is an awesome ROM that works with the N900T. It's stable and fast with tons of features (OTA updates, Aroma Installer, etc.) and development continues. The link is in my signature.

If you want to do official 5.0 the just use Odin and open up lollipop in it and flash. If any force closes the clear cache and stuff followed by reboot. If you going to kitkat I usually install tw lp clean then do the down grade since I find that note 3 will usually have issues any other way. Make sure you do backups of you modem and efs always in case of corruption.
Personally I just use full backups so I have all my apps logins and such on booting.

To be honest with you it was FC a lot and I couldn't get it to work right. I somehow erased my backup and needed a ROM to work "now" LOL so I gave Alliance 1.2.1 a shot and this puppy is sooooooooooo smooth fam! I haven't had an issue yet. I don't know if you'd tried it, its really nice and enough customizing to satisfy me so I stayed here.

Which Kernel are you using?
Which camera did you choose in Aroma - N4 or S6? I was thinking to pick the N4 because it might have better S-pen support, on the other hand maybe the S6 has more advanced features being of the newer software.
I was wondering if in general Samsung might be trending to lighter apps, less menu options, etc in the S6/N5.

I had stock official 5.0 on N900T. First I installed Norma S6 but a lot of bugs. I only do full wipe format from stock 5.0 to Norma s6 and then I have done same from Norma S6 to DarkLord N5. Kernel is DarkLord, thats I got when I installed DarkLord N5 RC.
