[Q][Help] ROM recommendation (BEST FIT) - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
A few days ago I've found my old M8 in a drawer. I thought that I might revive him with a new custom ROM that will fit my needs.
I'm planning to use this phone only in the car. I still have to decide if I will use it with a SIM card or I will set up a Hot Spot from my main phone.
The ROM that will best fit my needs:
GPS Navigation - Waze/Google Maps
Music - Youtube/Spotify
I don't need phone calls, sms, whatsapp, camera or anything else.
My phone runs on:
Android Version: 6.0
Htc Sense Version: 7.0
Kernel Version: [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
PS: I also need a tutorial/how to set up the new ROM.
Best regards!

[Q] Help Please :-)

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to submit a post about changing my rom but it keeps saying I can't add outside links although the post does not have any links?
Any ideas?!
Post:
Hi Everyone,
OK first of all I am new to all of this but I have a Desire HD...
Basically the phone is very laggy and a friend has told me to look at installing a new rom as that is the way forward...
So here I am, I have had a good luck around the forum but there seems to be so many different guides...
I am probably going to look at installing:
[ROM] Android Revolution HD 4.0, 3.1 Gingerbread & HTC Sense 2.1 Android 2.3.2 - posted my mike1986...now my first question, is this stable and are there any problems with it?
My desire is:
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernal Version: 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d

Build Number: 1.39.161.1 CL278886 release-keys
Software Number: 1.39.161.1
Browser Version: WebKit 3.1
Now is there any major impact at changing the rom?!
Also is there anyway in which I can backup my text messages (most important) and also the installed apps and restore these once the process has been completed.
Thanks in advance!

hi.
Flashing a custom rom is a straight forward thing.
Here is the guide where you need to understand.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964996&highlight=guide
But before you flash, also check out your rom-to-flash thread on pre-requisite too.
There are lots of rom out there, if you like stable release, in my opinion, go for Android Revolution HD 3.2, or LeeDroid, or Core HD which run on Android 2.2 (Froyo)
Major impact : smoother , faster, customizable, etc .. (tried it !)
To backup :
1. SMS backup - install from market. it will back up all sms and send to your gmail.
2. Titanium backup - to backup apps and data (saved games, and everything). after flash new rom, you need to install back all your apps. restore from titanium backup is the easiest part.
However, I would recommend only restoring selective apps. That too "Data Only" option.
Found out the hard way that a full restore can have some adverse effect (For me heavy battery drain).
Why start two new threads with the exact same post?
Thanks for the replies guy's however I am still a little confused...just want to clear one thing up if you don't mind.
When I go to the guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964996&highlight=guide
Do I do it in this order:
1. Complete the works.
2. Flash the recommended radio.
3. Flash my rom - with which instructions, the one in the post above or the ones attached to the rom? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984045
4. Job complete, big sigh of relief?!
Also as I am looking to upgrade to gingerbread, the rom above looks to be stable from what I have read, will I then be able to easily change the rom in the future to either newer or older versions of android os?!
I know people go on about the radio s and eng-s I think it is and saying they need to be turned off but after a certain version they aren't...will the custom rom's keep them turned off?!
Thanks for all of your help.

[Q] New Nexus Problem

Hey guys! First off i just wanted to say hi to my fellow nexus owners. I just got mine today and i can't wait to start using it. Here's the problem. When i bought the Nexus the previous owner upgraded it to 4.1.2 since it was rooted. The issue with what he did is that there is no google account on my phone. This means no google play, gmail, google waller etc. To make it worse i went to the rooting app (super Use I think?) and clicked unroot. I thought it would unroot my phone and all the google related apps would come back. They didn't and i deleted the rooting app I am now stuck with a rooted phone with no rooting app and i can't get any apps including marketplace. I know i'm supposed to flash a rom that will have google but the problem is that all the tutorials ask to make sure you have one of the 10 - 15 build numbers and phone models the phones come with. But my phone doesn't have them because it was rooted. What do i do?

do you have any basic flashing skills? and which carrier?
I have the basic skills. I've did it on my old galaxy ace. But when i did it everything was on the factory defaults. I'm worried i might mess up because he already rooted and flashed a rom on the phone. I just need some instructions on what i should do first. I was thinking i should re-root my phone and then just apply another, more reliable rom. Maybe the 4.1.1. Another problem is that on the tool kit there is no option for 4.1.2 and the weird build number i have.

Just return the device to factory settings by flashing the Google images. I'd never trust the firmware that someone else put on a phone.

[Q] Need help urgently: Note behave very weird, auto open apps, freeze, not response

Bros,
I have tried to search our forum as well as search on google but could not find any clue. So I post here hope to get your help. Thank you very much in advance.
My Note II, suddenly behave very weird and strange. It open apps by itself; at times, when I open my phone, I saw Gmail openned, new mail created ... by the phone itself. And it freeze quite often, but for a very short while. Especially every time I go to all Apps then return to home screen, whole machine freeze for about 10 seconds then resume. At times at lock screen, I can't unlock the phone, the interactive screen still response but did not unlock.
I have Factory Reset the phone, it still the same even when I had not installed any software in yet, bare stock rom.
I have installed EMMC check and looks like it's not ESD for my case.
My phone:
Model: GT-N7100

Not enough space, NFC not working

Hello friends,
I flash my s4 mini LTE to that info:
Android version: 6.0.1
CyanogenMod version: cm-13.0-20160418-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO2NJ-serranoltexx
Baseband version: I9195XXUAMF5
Kernel version: 3.4.0-cyanogenmod-gaafcf07 [email protected] #1
1. Since the first day I saw that the NFC is not working.
2. I can count my apps on my two hands because of the ROM that took more than 3GB for the installion files (GAPPS not take so much as far as I know), the bottom line that I don't have enough free space, some numbers: when I connect my phone to laptop I can see that I have less than 100MB free space from 5.32 GB. As you all know the phone have 8GB memory.
When I had the stock ROM of samsung those problems wasn't take part of my day
I'm thinking to flash again to stock ROM-it will help? it will destroy the phone (return from 6 to 4)?
Any solutions?
Thank you for your time
