Hi friends,
I dirty flashed 3.5.2 from 3.1.2 (unbrick the phone) and it seems to have several problems.
For example, the battery life sucks quite a lot.
Is there a chance that these problems will occur during a dirty flash?

Dirty flashing is just overwriting the similar system files. SO if they might have got a major changes in the rom versions related to battery or other software , they might not be compatible with each other and cause problems. also battery drain could be due to more background processes running due to dirty flashing so it may be better if you wipe memory once.

Hi everyone,
Thought I'd share something I learned recently while installing the latest version of Devil Kernel along with Temasek ROM v28.
Firstly, I'd like to clarify that I'm a noob when it comes to custom ROMs and kernels so please bear with me if this seems obvious; this is mostly for the benefit of people like me.
I rooted my phone a month or two back and had no problems installing custom ROMs (thanks to Max Lee of galaxynote2root.com) However, I had some problems when installing Devil Kernel.
I had already installed Temasek ROM, so I booted into recovery and did dalvik/cache wipes before flashing the kernel. Upon reboot, I discovered I had lost mobile network i.e. the phone couldn't even register.
Through some trial and error, I realised that in order to restore the network, I had to:
1. Wipe Dalvik and cache.
2. Re-install the ROM and Gapps.(missed this part)
and only after that,
3. Install Devil Kernel.
Problem solved!
Hope this helps whoever has this predicament

My battery is draining faster on my custom rom 4.4.2 rather than on stock 4.3. What does a kernel?

A kernel is the interface layer between the hardware and software on your phone....
And is responsible for the core functions of the device....

Afraid your question isn't specific enough to elicit directly helpful responses. Did you flash a custom ROM and are now experiencing problems with your phone after this? If so, what kind of problems? There are far too many custom ROMs out there for a generic solution to apply and, needless to say, a good deal of personal research and caution needs to be exercised before one proceeds with a custom ROM installation.

Well yes, I did specify the ROM name. It is quite literally called Nameless ROM. The problems that I am experiencing are with the latest nightlies and this instability specifically affects the the dialler applications, sometimes it works but most times whenever I get a call on my phone I just get the pop up "Unfortunately the dialler app has stopped"
I have wiped cache and dalvik cache, reflashed the ROM and the Gapps to no avail.

Apologies. I was also being too general in my response. I checked a few Nameless fora on the web and it would appear such instabilities are not uncommon with nightly builds as is often the case with all custom ROMs still undergoing development. Your best option might be to flash a stable version or, if not out of your preference, revert to stock.

Yes I would prefer to not reverting to stock. I guess I shall be looking at other ROM's that have similar features. Thanks for your help.
Hello,
My GF's S4 Mini is 2 years old, not a single hard reset, with unrooted stock ROM.
She is happy with performance and with phone in general but battery is bust, it barely holds for 10 hours with light to medium use.
She uses her phone for WhatsApp, Messenger and occasionally taking some photos.
I am not sure though which version does she have. I can find out that later today but meanwhile I would be grateful for your advice.
It doesn't have to be the newest ROM version, it has to be reliable, with good battery and preferably with stock camera app.
Thank you!
There is no perfect rom. Keep the rom she is using. Change the battery , after 2 years is busted as u said
It could also be old problem that battery was draining fast even with 3g/wifi/gps OFF. That`s a motherboard problem that can be fixed by changing motherboard or with a custom kernel that have the fix implemented. Stupid thing is, after u install a custom kernel, u need to root phone and disable Knox apps or they will bother u. Search what version of S4 mini she have, what rom she have and start from there to search. I have for example some kernels with fixes for that problem, but first read on forums.
The above being said and valid...
... I find that this ROM: Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.8-20151026-serranodsdd
works pretty well for me. It is stable enough. You would have to root and stuff but its worth a try.

+1. RR LP 5.5.8 is very stable and battery friendly and also Blisspop 4.0.3 last two versions are good enough. BUT, in these 2 fantastic roms i have found a major bug (at least for me) that during incoming calls most of the times my contacts dont show up their names (only numbers) or sometimes very lately. I asked the devs about the problem but did not get any reply. So m back now to PAC rom KK 4.4.4, i used it for around 4 months continuously before i tried lollipop roms. Stable, good battery(05/01/2015 version) and hell lot of features.
N.B: The above is based on my experience only. It may very from person to person. And also it does not imply that other roms are worse or better, because i have not tried all of them.
What I have observed is temperature and the kernel have big impacts on battery drain. Stock 4.4. drains the battery much slower than 4.2., and the Cyanogenmod kernels also use up less juice than the stock roms.
the same
I have same issue. 2 or more years i9195 with stock 4.4.2 android. Battery drain is about 1%/hour at idle (sleep). When using it raises to 2-5%/hour. I want any other ROM or kernel that drains less battery. Please help
My phone has almost two years. Battery remains excellent. No tricks, such as calibration, etc.
In my experience the best ROM Stock based is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...t/gt-i9192-galaxy-s4-mini-duos-4-4-2-t2832673 .
I never installed another kernel, etc. in its use. I tried several ROMS CM based but always came back to this rom for stability, reliability, battery.
But lately I have been interested in Android M.
And I was already giving up again when I decided to use CM13 (feb / 21) by K2wl without GAPPS (Open GAPPS) or Custom Kernel.
My intention is to test CM13 in its purest possible code.
So far it has been amazing. No call issues, great battery (as in SilviuMik ROM). etc
I'm curious. Will this time be able to use a ROM CM based for more than two weeks without problems with Call and battery? If this happens it will be worth testing other GAPPS.

I do not think so. But this is not a problem. Just try the kernel to 95:

I believe that all you need. I never got to use debloated version of this ROM. I'd rather do it manually.

I used the official CM12.1 nightlies (& kernal) for about a year on my I9195, in the first few months I did get almost weekly random restarts, as you might expect on a nightly, but towards year end almost none. Then I installed the last Snapshot YOG9 (or whatever) and didn't get a single reboot in months.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...i9190-i9195-cyanogenmod-12-1-s4-mini-t3100159
Currently I'm on an unofficial version of same CM12.1 that has latest monthly security updates patched (which will be built until a stable release of CM13 is out) as the official CM12.1 development has stopped due to CM13. I've not had a single crash or reboot on this CM12.1 ROM, so that's about 6mths with no problems all together.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...i9190-i9195-cyanogenmod-12-1-nightly-t3300836
My wife is on CM12.1 (NightOwl) too on her old Note N7000, she has not had a single problem in the 2mths since I installed it. So long story short I'd say almost any version of CM12.1 is now very stable (provided you clear caches etc when installing and don't load dodgy apps )

I have been using cm13 nightlies ever since it came out. Almost updated every new package. Since then i had to revert it twice. For me so far it's stable. Using it with gapps pico. But do nog use any extended cm13 roms like bliss or rr, as they are highly unstable, lagy and full of buggs.
Have a nice day to all. I have an i9192 (GT-I9192ZKAAFR, S4 mini DUOS) with the latest original I9192XXUBNB1 ROM and the CSC is I9192OJVBNB1 (AFR / Kenya / AE). I have to use this phone again and it is horrible. Often becomes hot and unresponsive. Sometimes just simply shutdown itself or reboot. That is why I moved to another phone but that is in service now. Otherwise this is an amazing little device. I decided that it is time to take steps towards to a more stable ROM. Phone has Knox and it is still 0x0. Manufactured in 2013 and bought in 2014 so support has definitely gone. Therefore I am not really keen on Knox status but would be great to keep 0x0.
I am a Hungarian user and I would like to use Hungarian language on the phone. I see some ROM recommendation here. Is that true for Hungarian language as well? What about different region, modem or so? Are these ROMs working on my device? Is it possible to revert my phone to any factory version? I am not familiar with flashing ROM on this phone but read some tutorials and more or less trained.
Hi,
I'm on Exodus (+ Gapps pico) & very happy by the quality of this rom. (I haven't tried many other roms though)
I've flashed at least 7 ROMs at this point, and I have experienced nothing but boot-loops, crashes, camera issues, and random reboots. Each time that I have tried a ROM, I would have to eventually switch back to stock ROM because of the bugs. So my question to you all is, is there ANY ROM out there that has no common bugs like wifi connectivity issues, gps issues, boot loops, camera issues, etc.? I really want to find a stable rom for this phone because the stock rom is unbearably laggy and I know that this phone can be a lot faster than it is acting.
Thank you so much for at least reading this, and if you can give me an extremely stable rom, then I would be very grateful
Using cm12.1 March nightly
Hello, I have recently got this phone and mine is a d2tmo, so I searched many roms and checked out their comments section, but couldn't find any official cm12.1 topics. But did find CM12.1 Rom in the official website.
download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=d2tmo&type=nightly
have been running this rom from past 1 week, I think the battery is not good enough, but overall other issues dont seem to be popping around so freuently. Yes, I recommend it as a daily driver.
P.S: just today, CM13 Nightly has been uploaded, might not be the daily driver, but happy that there's Marshmallow for this 4 year old phone.
I've been using Slimkat 9.0 (KitKat 4.4.4) for over a year now. Fast, stable, bugsfree, minimalistic, easy on battery (24hr+ on 4yr old battery!) & efficient. http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1183-d2lte -- try it u will love it
CyanogenMod 12.1 it's work pretty well no crashing no hung camera work fine every thing work good like offical software
you need A Gapps 5.1 (ARM micro best Choose) you can download from here :
Gapps: http://opengapps.org

Been using cm12.1 nightly for last 4 months slight problems with bluetooth but dont think its the rom.
I use built in updater today and did not notice that it was cm13. system went into Update google services loop so I flashed gapps you suggested but was still unable to boot successfully .
Any thoughts? I do have nadroid backup so not urgent.

I had been dirty flashing (without really knowing what that is) the first android 6.0 rom for the S3 and it was going swell til they switched to the cyanogen nightly and everything broke on me, random restarts, Snapchat front camera never worked. But thank you for the recommendation, I flashed it (clean flash this time) and everything works and it's my daily driver now
On my M8, I'm running the ancient CM12.1 snapshot from November 2015. I've made the decision to update to the latest CM13 nightlies but I wanted to ask about their stability and any problems I will face. Thanks for your help!
I am using CM13 now more than half a year. Throughout this period, I encountered lots of great versions and only a few with noticeable bugs. Unfortunately my device sometimes crashes and restarts (on a daily basis) - I had this issue with almost every version of CM13, so maybe it is my fault and I should do a clean flash.
You dirty flashed from 12.1?

I would suggest always doing a clean flash from major version changes (such as CM12 to 13).
A dirty flash may work (don't recall if its a possibility or not going CM12.1>CM13). But if you have any issues, its probably due to migrating the data, and you should clean flash.
Not sure about the CM threads on the M8, but for my other device (Samsung Tab Pro 8.4), the thread says to not even bother posting a bug report if you dirty flashed (which I tend to agree with).
