Hi All,
1st time poster, 1st time ROM flasher.
I have a GTN5120 and would love to install a lollipop based ROM. Either Pac-Rom or CM12. I have looked at several guides but am struggling a little bit with the amount of options.
Can someone who has done this successfully on GTN5120 point me in the right direction.
Starting with the best software for recovery on my device?
Thanks.
Don.

Hi Folks,
sneaking around all the Forums and Threads about HTC-Desire I came to the conclusion that I urgently need a new ROM on my smartphone. OK, to be honest, it is more-or-less because off this permanent message that my memory is running low.
So I started to gain knowledge about 'root', 'S-Off', 'HBoot', 'Recovery' and all that stuff. It took a while by I managed to 'root' my Desire without any issue.
Bye the way I learned a complete new language and had to jump between several threads to understand all these abbreviations.
Now I struggle with myself as I am not able to decide on which ROM to choose. My favorites are MIUI and Oxygen. But, what confuses me most are the different versions of each ROM. Yes, I read all the threads of most every single ROM but that made the decision not easier.
Is there someone around who can provide some experience with MIUI and/or Oxygen ROMs.
What I really looking for is a nice looking, state-of-the-art, stable and fast ROM as I am not of that kind to flash updates every day.
Did I ever mentioned that my grandchild is laughing at me, so please help me proof that even someone not familiar with all that new stuff will be able to flash a new ROM.
Cheers !!
My suggestion for MIUI is this one:
http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/archived-miui-versions-desire-gb.16551/
It's stock version from MIUI England, without many modifications. You can also check out on MIUI Germany site.
In my signature you have something I made that's based on CM7 with just a few mods.
I'm using the MIUI ROM too, the response I get is way faster than the stock HTC rom. Although it's a shame that development stopped at GB (I really want the scrollable widget in ICS), but some of the guys here are working on ICS/JB ports, might jump onto one of those when they mature.
Hey guys,
Ive had the S3 long enough (couple months) that its time to root it, so i can tether and get rid of this lag (which a phone this powerful should not have). I have the Tmobile version. Ive rooted all my previous android phones, so this won't be my first.
Is this the easiest way to root?

Also, can you give me a couple suggestions on which Rom should I start with (most stable and smooth)? Please note, I am not asking what is the best, most featured packed Rom. Just asking for a couple of options on the most stable and smooth easy rom to start with....(guessing something that is 4.1.1 or 4.1.2?)
I realize that asking which Rom is best just gets old as it has been asked and constantly changes every couple of days and just pisses everyone off, so please don't think I'm just asking for the best rom, just asking for a couple suggestions on a very, very, stable and smooth rom?
Thanks!

thanks, i actually did look before i posted. that is where i got the link for the root information.
Also, your resource guide is awesome, but i know these rome get updated every few days, and it looks like its been a little over a month since some of the rome in your guide were updated; which is why i was asking for suggestions on the most stable/smoothest rom out now.
Thank you
Kennyglass,
thanks for moving it. i just now noticed i posted in general instead of Q and A...
Any more opinions on if that is the way i should root, or which are the most stable/complete/smoothest rom would be appreciated
I say root is best by Odin and then using goomanager to achieve the latest recovery.
best rom is up to you, what you are looking for is in my resource guide and further more in the dev section. Reason there is no best rom is because that is an opinion, these threads all get shut down cause it is a pointless question, that ALWAYS gets sidetracked and goes south. Every thread ends with a mod letting you know, flash and see which works best for you. So, do just that, read and flash which looks like you will enjoy the most. Use my guide as reference or starting point, and read from there.
Hi guys, need your help. I am coming over from the iPhone. Just ordered a used S3 for my first Android phone and very excited.
It should arrive this week and I would like to have it rooted. I would like to also install the latest stable Cyanogenmod release for this phone. Is it 10.2?
I have never rooted a phone or loaded any roms. I am having trouble finding the CM rom that's the latest most stable one. I just see a bunch of different names and have no clue which one I need. Can you guys recommend something?
Can someone point me in the right direction? I would like something quick, good battery life, and good for a daily driver. I saw a youtube video that showed Cyanogenmod as most closest to stock and very stable.
I would really appreciate your help. thanks in advance

That's a one-stop shop for S3, rooting and flashing custom recovery. Check that thread and follow the instructions there. You need to root your phone first and then flash a custom recovery like TWRP, before you can flash Custom ROM's like CM 10.2
Yes CM 10.2 is the latest version of CM with Android 4.3. CM 11 with 4.4 Kitkat is also in for S3, but dont expect it to be stable.
Also, release that there are lots of ROM's based on CM source, so they should work fine too. There are other very good custom ROM's like Carbon, Paranoid Android etc which offer unique features, while there are hybrid ROM's that combine features from all these. You need to try different ones to see what works best for you.
Also, refer to this video and others from that channel.

I suggest you take time to read, then take time to try all the roms here, as they are all good.
As we do not encourage arguments over which rom is best or is "most stable" I am going to close this thread, please take time to read what is being offered in the development areas, and welcome to android phones.
Hi I'm not sure if I'm poasting I'm right place. I'm a new member to xda.
