[Q] What is a suitable ROM for Galaxy Fame S6810p?

Hello,
after having had a HTC Desire HD I have upgraded (actually downgraded) to a Samsung Galaxy Fame S6810p.
However, as I am not very satisfied with TouchWiz and the bloatware on the phone I would like to flash a 'vanilla' ROM on the device, a task which is quite new for me, but something I would like to learn.
Having read myself into ROM Managers, Goo Managers, etc. I have not been able to find any ROM suitable for the S6810p. Therefore here few basic questions before I continue reading on:
- can I only used ROMs that have been adapted to my phone?
- Is there a vanilla ROM for my phone (Samsung Galaxy Fame s6810p)
- and if not, how much is the effort to port one to my phone?
I had used the search function looking for entries for Galaxy Fame etc and have not found anything (apart from rooting the phone)
Thanks
CM

1st yes you can only use a rom adapted to your phone
2nd vanilla rom? I don't think there is any custom rom for this model
3rd you have to try anyway first find a phone that suits your hardware specification and port a rom from that device

nobody knows a suitable rom for this device?

Did you try this to see if it will work?

So...
So has anyone found a CWM for this phone yet? It's driving me crazy! I'm starting to regret buying this phone because of this. How is it that nobody has done a port yet? The phone has been out for more than a year.

I'm wondering what else will pop up for this.

I'm in the same situation of many other users: this phone is really slow with the stock rom after some months of medium usage. I'm not a developer, I really don't know hot to create a new rom, but I can use my Galaxy Fame as a tester for a great new rom made in xda :good:
A pure Android experience like Cyanogenmod should be very useful for this phone, it could be much more light and smooth than the stock rom.
Many others phone (for example Galaxy W, Galaxy S Plus...) has some good roms that are CM based. It's a pity that Galaxy Fame hasn't any specific section on this incredible Forum I'm sure that many people will find interesting and useful a Galxy Fame Section with Android Development, Q&A, ecc...

Once you root the phone you can at least disable/freeze some of the bloatware that comes with the phone using Titanium Backup Pro, but yes, a clean custom ROM would make a world of difference and hopefully help with the freez-ups.
Also an overclock/undervolt kernel would be useful.

anyone tried the cwm posted?

CLOCK WORK MOD, or CWM, is not a rom, so does not count, i also am regreting buying this phone for the lack of custom roms..........gues we can't have anything, and have to move along to other devices.

[Q] Which Rom/Region?

This seems like a question I should be able to find an answer to myself, but I have searched all throughout the N7100 forum and can't seem to find my answer.
I have the Galaxy Note II International Version (GT-N7100). I rooted it with the Samsung Galaxy Note2 Toolkit
When I rooted, I had version 4.1.1 of android. It didn't get any OTA updates since it was rooted. I would like version 4.1.2 so I can run the Samsung Multi WIndow Manager so that I can use any app in the MultiWIndow mode.
What's the best way to do this? I tried flashing a stock rom, but I got stuck when I was required to download a stock ROM. I'm in the United States, but I don't see any region with United States so I don't know which I should get.
Sooo... Is this the proper way to update the Samsung rom if I had it rooted? Is there a better way?
What rom is best to use? Which region do I need for the U.S.? I mainly want to use the multi-window support and my understanding is that I must use a Samsung rom for that. I believe that was true when I first researched it. Is it still true today?
Thanks!

Maybe I'm being dense but did you also unlock your phone and install a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP?)
If so, you should be able to download a rom for your phone, install and enjoy the fruits of your labors. Look for roms that are based on TouchWiz and you should retain the samsung features you want. AOSP roms are base android and will not have those samsung customizations.
I don't know what "region" has to do with it though, just pick a rom that's compatible with N-7100

Thanks for the response, TrojanDroid. If region doesn't matter and I can install any TouchWiz based rom then that makes me very happy. I've used mods on other phones in the past and never had to worry about region.
Yes, I used the toolkit to install TWRP, Busybox, and Root the phone. The reason I asked about region is because I figured the easiest way to upgrade to 4.1.2 or higher would be to flash the newer stock rom. This is the webpage with an extremely large list of stock roms that the tool left me with though, which is where my question came from: http samsung-updates .com /device/ ?id=GT-N7100 (I can't post links yet)
I use the Samsung Multi Window and S-Pen features often. Is it accurate to say that as long as a rom is TouchWiz based, I will still be able to fully take advantage of those features?

You should update to any latest rom, bcoz 4.1.1 having sudden death bug and your device can be brick suddenly without a reason.
Anyway 4.1.2 stock rom itself having Multiwindow but to use any application in Multiwindow you will need to have moved version.
You can achieve it with xposed module (is simply needs rooted device +two simple apk to install)
Now what I recommend
1.You already have rooted device with cwm then make efs backup (can use Multitool from my signature for that)
2 . update latest rom (like mg1 is good in my point of view) with odin.
3.again you can use Multitool to root device.
4 . find xposed module and framework for Multiwindow mod to use any application in mw
OR
Find AnyMod from my signature and enjoy many extra features on your stock rom.
Goodluck

Thanks for the input. I have now successfully installed Thunder Lite and it seems to fit my requirements. I may investigate and play around with a few other roms in the future as well, since now I know that any Samsung based rom should work for me.
Thanks!

[Q] How to update from 4.1.2 custom rom to 4.2.2 or higher

Hi Everyone,
I do know how to flash a new rom however I had issues flashing from stock 4.1.2 to custom 4.2.2 before (device wouldn't pass the boot screen). So do I have to be on a specific 4.1.2 rom to upgrade or I need to upgrade to a stock 4.2.2 first and then upgrade to a custom one?
Please recommend a fast 4.2.2 custom rom. I would like to keep dual sim feature if possible although I know most roms only support single sim.
My current rom info:
4.1.2
Baseband: I9082XXAMC4
Thanks in advance.

simple one line if want dual sim,(stock based roms only)..u can install stock rom 4.2.2....or balliboxers GENNXT rom based on latest firmware...
NOTE: RAM USAGE OF STOCK AND STOCK BASED ROMS IS HIGH....SO LESSER MULTITASKS HANDLES!
if u can compromise with dual sim ..then u can install slimbean roms...(as u mentioned u want lightest and fastest)... but as they are small and fast, they dont have many extra feature lik halo..bt are lightweight..less ram usage...
bt i wonder why u want 4.2.2 rom when u can installl latest kitkat 4.4.2 (cm11,slimkat rom, carbon rom)..
they all are kitkat roms..........
with cm being a base rom for every rom and a light good rom...so is slimkat...and carbon with good future updates including halo features....
if u still wanna stick to 4.2.2 ....then u got slimbean rom...cm rom....(both dont have halo feature),.bt light...or u cn have PAC,resurrection remix rom(for halo multitasking)...
(gaming is better on kitkat roms)
its all ur choice....
if u want any qsns u can ..
hope i helped ..

First of all, thanks for your awesome reply
Basically I'm on stock rom without useless Samsung apps. Instructions for Pac/resurrection says I need to be on stock rom in order to upgrade to 4.2.2. So am I ok to flash their rom or first install a stock rom?
You mentioned kitkat roms are better and I agree, however based on instructions I need to be on 4.2.2 first before upgrading
Which recovery is the best for making nandroid backups? clockworkmod seems to have issues occasionally creating bad backups.
Kitkat roms seems to have app2sd enabled by default, right? and no issues with Xposed framework modules?

xposed is working fine on dalvik runtime(as google introduced new runtime with 4.4 named ART ,WHICH CONSUMES LESS RAM, BUT IS UNSTABLE)...

so flash 4.2.2 rom by odin..and den install kitkat...if u face any problem ....just pm me ...and ya..
always do wipe cache,dalvikcache and data(if told) , whenever u flash anything(before and after flashing)... u can ask any qsna u wanna ask..hope i helped.

one question from my side as well.
I am on stock rooted 4.1.2 rom and I want to upgrade to stock 4.2.2 rom. what would be the best method?
can I install 4.2.2 latest version by flashing via odin directly or do I need to unroot first?
or it will be automatically unrooted when I install 4.2.2(stock) latest over my 4.1.2(stock) by odin?
I hope you got my question.

But it does worth a try..i mean why not ... Give it a shot and i am sure u will find something unique about it...

First of all is difficult to port grand 2's stock room for i9082. It's difficult not impossible.... Don't know if any developer working on it or not....... Grand i9082 has many dual sum supported custom roms..... Like cm 11,cosmic cm etc. Etc. They are much better than the stock rom..... Even better than tw kitkat rom..... So use any of them...
Hit thanks if it helps you......

but does those rom work

But does the dual sim function works on those rom.. cuz most of them i've seen doesnt work.. there is extra code to be run eg. su:.... which they say isnt fullproof. and the reason i say grand 2 is cuz its a stock rom and has dual sim functionality inbuilt which many rom developers cant create since its proprietery

The extra commands to edit build.prop were required in older versions of cyanogenmod as the developer wanted to make sure it works without any problems. After testing and feedback he enabled it by default in the new version as it works well. So in the newest versions you don't need to do anything after installing the rom to make dual sim work.

Thanks a lot

I'm new here and to the android modding world. I have a galaxy tab3 8.0 (sm-t310). I have already rooted and installed a backup utility on it. Now, I was going thru the rom section of the site, but can't figure out which rom is the best stable one to use. I just want to upgrade to lollipop or maybe marshmallow if possible. I want all the features, including the sd card and Bluetooth to work. What is the best rom to use and possible instructions to upgrade?

I really like gr8nole's Lineage OS 14.. He has retired, but cuberio is the new dev. Give it a try
