How to check rom version and which ROM is optimal for LineageOS 16 (Pie)?
Any advice?
If you go to settings/about phone you can see what ROM version you have. The recommended version is always in OP of every custom ROM.

What you mean by "OP"? The newest firmware for chiron is V10.3.5.0.ODEMIXM. Is this the best FW?
No you have to read first post for the ROM you want. (Marked OP) in here the developer of the ROM stipulates what firmware you need.

I just opened the box for my new E988 and I am wanting to load Cyanogenmod or a KitKat rom but not sure where to start. I checked the threads but they implied prerequisite knowledge which I don't have.
Is there a tutorial available to get from completely stock -> CM or a KitKat rom?

I've been looking for the thread for the latest stable version (3.99?) of PA, but can't find it. When I go in from the AT&T ROM section it goes straight to the 4.0 beta. I also went on their website, but the ROMS are different names and I don't know which one I would choose. It would be better if I could get a link to instructions too, so I don't run into problems since I have never installed PA before. Thanks!
The paranoid android team doesn't officially support your device. You need to find a port for your device

Go here;
http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/d2att
The latest version is pa_d2att-BETA-3.99-RC2-20130921 and it's pretty stable. You'll have to flash it using TWRP instead of CWM. Make sure your bootloader/modem is I747UCDLK3, otherwise it won't flash. It works with the latest 4.3 GApps as well. Hope this helps.

Hi, I have a note 2 n7100, I want to install the assassin resurrection custom rom but I'm not sure if I can.
My android version is 4.4.2 , currently on stock rom ( I just finished installing a fresh stock rom from sammmobile) and rooted my phone.
The rom is android version 4.1.2, will it cause any conflict? is there a way to avoid the conflict if possible?

I doubt there would be any conflict. The only thing that would remain from your stock rom would be the latest bootloader ND3. It should practically be safe to switch to an older version as long as you follow steps for your rom, but it doesn't harm to make a nandroid just in case you want to switch back
Alrighty Ill try it out

installing rom atm wish me luck
I've just bought a used Ace 2 which has come with:
GT I8160 (im in the UK)
android v 2.3.6
baseband - I8160XXLL2
2.6.35.7-1218501
build number gingerbread.XXLL2
The threads about flashing a custom ROM have 100+ pages and a lot of links are out of date. I wanted to try a custom ROM, eg CM 10.2 but I have a couple of questions.
I just want to be able to use modern apps, eg Tom Tom app. Google maps, Chrome, and I need to be able to use the phone in different countries, eg France, Portugal, Croatia. The current 2.3.6 is not compatible with some new apps so I need to upgrade.
Should I just update to the Jellybean Samsung provide via Kies?
Should I update to a custom ROM eg CM 10.2 ( i think this may be a stable release), if so will this be stable and have less bugs than the stock ROM?
Should I upgrade to samsung Jellybean and then root and remove bloatware?
I would like to try CM but I think it might not be as stable as the stock ROM, is that correct? Also there are questions as to the process and correct files I will need but I will ask that later if needed.
Thanks!

I think you should try it yourself. For my needs, I can't live with stock anymore lol. With my needs, I multitask a lot, needs speed and stability and so far I'm quite satisfied with CM11 built by ace2nutzer with his kernel or ChronoMonochrome's kernel.
For another option, I also like liquid smooth, but I kinda missed some features from CM (kinda forget what was that).
By this time, we already have everything that we could use from stock with alternatives, and some better. But again, try it yourself to know which suits your needs.

Ok, cool. I guess I can revert back to stock if I dont like it.
So I guess I just use the ROM from this link with the latest build date?
http ://xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-files/ace2nutzer/Kernel/
which is ace2nutzer.kernel.4.4.x_20150620_codina.p.l.zip
Just built 2 days ago, 20th June 2015?
Also what gapps do I need?
Thanks!

Nope. That's the kernel only. For the ROM, follow this link: http://xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-files/ace2nutzer/CM11/codina/cm-11-20150610-UNOFFICIAL-codina.zip
GApps: http://d-h.st/hrsq
After flashing the ROM, you could flash the kernel with the link you found.
That is really helpful, I would have never found the right files on my own

decided to start another thread about problems I'm having.

Try it. Then you'll know whether it is stable or not.
Anyway, so far no one has got serious issues.
Yes, ROM first, then kernel. That is assuming you are at least from stock Jb or any other custom kk or lp roms

Download CM11 by Chrono and ace2nutzer. Choose better one for Your phone, You know, ROMs works different on each phone.

My wife has a T-Mobile Samsung GalaxyS3 model SGH-T999L running stock 4.3, which supposedly Samsung/TMobile doesn't offer any update for (she's tried update but if says she's up to date) So I'd like to install onto it, whatever the latest, most popular, stable CM version ROM is. I like the ability of Android 6 to limit app permissions so if that is stable and not too sluggish, great. (I understand nightlies are less stable so I think I want to stay away from those).
I'm not sure what the EOL "label" is on the ROM descriptions, end-of-life I imagine, so no further development? But if what comes after EOL is only experimental beta releases of a newer CM version, (until a final stable release), then I guess EOL is fine?
Anyways, if there's a well-written procedure for newbies on doing this upgrade, which also explains how to back up the original Samsung OS, proper active links for the right downloads, and most importantly step-by step directions, if you can point me to it, I'd appreciate it. Searching for her exact model # from the homepage of this website finds no hits....
Thanks,
Fil
There are custom ROMs for the T999L but it can take a lot of experimentation to determine the most stable ROM for your purposes. What works well for one user may not suit another user at all. ROMs for the T999 will work on the T999L.
In order to flash a custom ROM, you'll need to install a custom recovery and I recommend flashing the latest tar version of TWRP with Odin.
Just in case you need to go back to stock, download the latest stock ROM here and save it for future use: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-T999L/TMB/
TWRP here: https://dl.twrp.me/d2tmo/
Odin 3.07 which has always been stable for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168421

I use my T999L as a spare and it's running pacrom 6.01. I haven't had any problems with it aside from OCCASIONAL slowdown (I'm not talking all the time or super major, just every now and then for all of 2 or 3 seconds).
I'm happy with it
Link to ROMs?
Thanks but can you provide a direct link to the various t999 or t999L ROMs you refer to, so I can peruse them?

here's the link to to the MM PacRom, You'll still need to flash gapps afterwards as usual. I recommend micro or nano.

You can for a ROM under the development forum. Take the time to look at screenshots and thread comments.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-t-mobile/development
The most stable are always stock roms.
