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?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682
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 there, I'm new as galaxy note user and I saw a lot of custom rom. I'd like to know which one is the best custom rom for you for the p600 version.
Thank you so much

You are not going to get an answer to that question on XDA.
1. "Best rom" is a personal opinion
2. People are not going to claim a best because it kinda takes away from some devs who put a lot of hard work into their roms.
Download the available ones and try them all out. That's your answer.
The best advice we can give is to try a few and see what works for you. Different set ups give different results. Even with the same rom. It's why we don't allow comparison threads on xda. Our devs out in a lot of work to give users choice.
I've closed this, but enjoy trying some different builds.

Noobish question, but how does an Official build differ from an Unofficial? IE, CM12 vs DU, is DU considered Official because it is unaltered AOSP?

if i'm not mistaken, official builds are done and maintained by a group member from the developing team of any given rom. Unofficial builds are done by any member who does not belong to the developing team and who decides to build any given rom. Also i believe that any lines of code used are not officially submitted and supported and any support would have to be done by the unofficial rom builder and not the developing team.
hope this makes sense and helps in any way.

My last phone was running CM 7.3 Gingerbread, so please bear with my noobness. I'm not big on flashing new ROMs. I like to find a daily driver and run with that.
Right now, I'm trying to decide which ROM to try after stock. I'd like to get rid of a lot of the bloatware and gain more customization. I've heard great things about your ROM in the past on other phones, so am leaning towards it.
Things I absolutely want:
HDMI/Slimport out. I don't know if this feature is ROM specific, or if the G3 does it automatically thru hardware. It works great on stock.
LG's IR Controller apps. I like that the G3 has the IR feature. I have it programmed to replace all my remotes currently.
I'm with MetroPCS. They use TMobile's towers. Should there be any problems (I haven't seen anything on this in search for the 851 and don't think it would be, but thought I could ask people smarter than I).
Do those features work on your ROM? If not, does anyone know what ROMs those features/apps are functioning?

Do not ask about other ROMs, this is NOT the thread for that, flash and find out, you don't like it? Uninstall it, it's simple. Also, regarding asking about if d851 supports METRO, ask the carriers, not in this, this is for the ROM questions, nothing else, please keep the OT to the minimum
Oh, I am sorry. I thought I was in the Q&A thread, not the developer section. Oh wait, I am.
I apoligize for asking about other ROMs... but asking about this specific ROM in it's specific Q&A thread?
Yeah. Replies like yours will definitely keep a lot of stuff to a minimum. Keep up the good work.

freezes
For some reason it freezes when doing heavy task. For example on the web or listening to music it freezes and the system slows down to the point where lock screen takes about a minute to lock. A simple reboot fixes the problem. I am coming off a Clean flash but stock kernel.
Anyone have any luck with using a slimport out to HDMI on this ROM?
Just checking...
I've got a Lg G3 D851 (32GB) but its not the T-mobile version. Does this still mean that I can flash this rom? Or is there anything else I should do?
Can't wait to use this rom so reply as soon as you can people.

What you just said made no sense, if its a d851, its T-Mobile, doesn't matter what carrier its on, its the T-Mobile version

I'm kinda new to all this so please don't mind the 'noob' questions. I was under the impression that its not a TMO version if it doesnt say T-Mobile on the phone. :silly: Thank you though, will flash rom right away.
One more question... Is this a stable version of the rom or a test version? Cuz I couldn't figure out which one it is; stable or test version.

its not worth the typing but official says it all....
Bluetooth...
Just installed the rom and its awesome. Just one problem, the Bluetooth doesn't seem to be working properly. Can't connect my smartband. Whenever I try to turn off Bluetooth I get an error saying that Bluetooth has stopped working. Any solutions?

The only reason it would be doing that is if you dirty flashed from another ROM

Nope... I'm 100% sure I did a clean install. Did a clean install again for a second time around 30 minutes ago... still no luck.
It's probably a BT LE device. If you read the last page or two of Bliss Pop or Resurrection you'll see they have issues. Probably something in the base code. I know the Bliss Pop dev says he might have a fix but hasn't released an update.

This may be a stupid question, but does this rom support the knock code?
Thanks!
Hi guys,
I've just bought my HTC 10. I'd like to know which is your experience with the available N custom Roms.
I've read their OPs, but I still cannot figure out which the main differences in daily use are.
I had the A.R.I.S.E. sound mod on my old Z3. I'm planning to install it on this device too.
Which is your feedback about those different custom Roms and Firmware combinations?
Thank you all in advance

Some like rom "A", some "B" and again some others "C"...you won't find the ultimate answer if you ask for user opinions.
best is if you try them yourself and make yourself an opinion.

For sure I would If I had time for it.
It's a big hobby for my but I'm really missing free time to enjoy it fully.
I'm just looking for a good one where people experienced compatibility with A.R.I.S.E.
Please be kind
@j to the 4n is 105% correct as what makes one user happy isn't what will make everyone else happy. (whispering) I'd go for the one in @j to the 4n 's signature, that's what I'm using.
I have no experience with "A.R.I.S.E.".
Do you know if it's compatible with A.R.I.S.E.?
Can anyone explain why is good to use custom ROM on new android phones?
As far as I know once you have installed custom rom there is no way going back to original.
