[Q] selecting custom ROM

ok i have read a lot of these posts
but i need something that will keep my battery at least for 2 days. with stock rom i need recharge it every day
from my research i wanted to install oxygen ROM but download links as their site is broken, so i need another suggestion
only important things are
- STABLE
- battery life
- GPS WIFI 3G working
- usage of android market

Try the rom in my sig. Super fast, good battery life, and very stable.

should i use that MW4 or MW5.8 stable?

They are two different roms. Try the exact one in my sig. It's smoother.

Here is Oxygen on my Box.

do you know how to change alarm ringtone, this default is just way quite need put other sound i saw some goods in ROM but cant find change sound for alarm
also is there any way to set sound, silent, and vibrating mode
also i tried link2sd and it just crash my phone, i used 4ext recovery for partitioning my sd card

Fast and stable ROM

I know that such threads aren't welcomed, but friend of mine just brought me stock 2.3.6 Galaxy W whining that it's so slow. Since I've never flashed I8500 yet, I have absolutely no idea which ROM and kernel should I pick. Idea is to get maximum performance and stability as possible. Could you please help me with recommendation? Thanks

stock rom is still the best.
always row back to stock after tried out those new roms.
u need to know w i8150 hw limits, even with swap n zram, still wont let u play ram hungry apps/games.
i have done my own script n add a few to boost performance/battery saving (no enhancement apps).

Thats simply based on your personal needs I clearly won't use it anymore, if i had to use stock rom. For me a slimmed 4.4.2 works pretty well

yes, is my personal choice after all i did tried out all those custom roms n still row back to stock rom.
tried 4.4.2, no 3G, no over-the air radio, does not wait up when i plugin my headset, very hot when play games......etc,etc,
back to stock rom with some tweaks, faster n cool (never hot up), run with no bugs, never once fc (force close).

Thats just what i would say about my phone, too Stable, fast, ui that doesn't hurt my eyes badly (That's really important to me!), not noticed any f/c or (random) reboots yet, temperature is good during use. Of course mobile network works. I feel happy using it
To be fair i have to add that DarkCM 03/19 was first release without issues noticeable for me. All other versions had AT LEAST one bug: ProCapture camera didn't work as it should. May be i find issues while using it. we'll see

I used OneOfAKind Rom now, pretty stable but some apps are just slow and eat a lot of ram. I blamed the apps, not the ROM. You should try it.
I know Stock is great but I upgraded mine because some apps doesn't work on Gingerbread.

luv to share but .......many (cyberbullies) here didnt want it, want latest fads.
GB is old n past just like XP (eol), which to me is the best OS. :angel:
use at ur own risk.
requirements:
basic knowledge
rooted phone
init.d support
(if unsure wat to do, search n u will get ur answers).
i only use these two on stock rom, no other enhancements or tweaks.
attached r two files zipped:
1) build.prop.GB.Addon - copy all texts n paste to end of line build.prop, if u have duplicate, just remove the sentences.
(mount read/write b4 edit if u cant edit).
2) VMscript140309 file is a script, u can use script manager if u want but i preferred to copy n paste to etc/init.d.
remember must set permission, chmod rwx,r_x,r_x n chown root,shell, else it wont work.
(mount read/write b4 paste if u cant paste).
edit 03/april:
deleted these lines from build.prop.addon file, becoz GB orig apps - music, gallery n video will not update with new add music, videos n pics.
media.stagefright.enable-player=true
media.stagefright.enable-meta=true

original lines in GB build.prop has two portions:
top portion is this:

Click to collapse
i'm using this bottom portion, becoz the last entries will be log-in, replacing the first entries.
another concern is the read ahead for the rams/cards, it seem to speed up but when i tried use clockworkmod backup, the md5 is mismatched. backup is useless, if u have this problem, remove those read ahead sentences.

most games with installation files below 100mb runs good, board games will just fly thru.
those power n ram hungry games, i dun recommend play games with installation file above 100mb (hw limitations).
candy crush sage is quite power n ram hungry even its installation file is below 100mb, it runs without problem.
edit:
i played magic mania for more than an hour on GB, generated less heat than when i played candy crush saga on KitKat for less than 10 mins. :silly:

I'm looking at flashing my W too. It has GB still, but I modded it by CWM recovery, root and debrand plus stripped out un-needed bloat. What I want to do with it is flash it to possibly JB and run VIPERaudioFX and either Poweramp or Neutron audio player and mostly keep it as a smart music player for my car. I run a modded quad core phone as my main device now because it is a great multitasker and has a big screen for my failing eyes. The W is a nice, small size for a music front end though. So pocketable or fits nice in the centre console. I still have a thing about that phone despite it being old now. So, a modern and light OS is needed. Must be stable but it's not going to be a main phone. What are the recommendations?
If it's not practical, I will keep GB on it and see if I can slim it down further and if I can get a version of Viper that will work with it.

in general, i recommend stick with GB becoz its less buggy than the new android OS (ics/jb/kk).
if the app(s) cant run on GB, its becoz the app(s) need more RAM (hw limitations).
new OS have swap n zRAM which makes it laggy (in one way or the other).

I found it laggy on GB anyway. Removing Touchwiz and various Sammy apps after installing Legacy Launcher improved things. Also Smart Launcher2 Pro is nice. I'm actually running that one on my W200.
I was thinking getting rid of the Samsung account and extra software plus Keis etc would help things. strip out as much as possible without breaking it, do CWM backups before any major change, just in case.
I do know what you mean by the RAM, despite newer ROMs running well, they do need a lot of RAM. Minimal widgets, only the Gmail account etc will help.
I'll have a play with it. Mine is an i8150T, not an i8150, the Australian Vodafone version. Does the phone support 900MHz 3G in hardware? It's not accessible on my Vodafone ROM as they run 850MHz 3G. Maybe I could use a ROM meant for a different country. I did that with my Garmin Asus Nuvifone a50. Installed a Canadian ROM and got it working on 850 instead of the 900 it was supposed to be on as it was an Optus phone originally.

This tutorial is divided into two parts
1)For users using my Ultimate Rom V2
2)For general users (Even though i recommend using My Rom For Best Performance)
1)For Ultimate rom Users
i)Go To system>etc And Delete init.d folder and delete all the folders in etc which were created in 1969

Then uninstall the modules and uninstall the framework FROM INSIDE THE Xposed APP
iii)Copy and replace my build.prop in system folder from the second post(Dual Sim Only)
add ro.debuggable=0 at the end of the build.prop for all versions
iv)*Only for Dual Sim Version( Download The TWRP Recovery/Kernel from this link from the second post
v)After flashing go into recovery and flash the Fly on Mod Tweaks zips provided in the second post
vi)download no frills cpu from playstore and set performance/ondemand and noop (Dont worry if the phone restarts without warning just check if the governer and I/O Were set)
vii)If you did everything write you will have a lag free fast phone now
2)For General Users
i)Go To system>etc And Delete init.d folder if it exists and delete all previous tweaks that you may have enabled
ii)*Xposed framework is the main reason for your lag and i learnt it the hard way so if you have installed the framework and any of its modules
Then uninstall the modules and uninstall the framework FROM INSIDE THE Xposed APP
iii)Copy and replace my build.prop in system folder from the second post(Dual Sim Only)

Xposed doesn't cause any problems. This ram problem would occur even without Xposed. I have been using my phone since 72 hrs with Xposed and a lot of heavy multi tasking and gaming.
Adding ro.debuggable=0 to the build.prop is of no use as the value needs to be changed in the default.prop (you need to unpack the ramdisk). It will continue to remain 1 even after adding it to the build.prop. Try running the "getprop" command in the terminal emulator app after adding the line in the build.prop. You'll still get the output as [ro.debuggable] : [1].
The Performace governor locks the CPU freq to the max. It would certainly smoothen out the UI but it would cause a lot of battery drain. And when your phone restarts automatically after setting the cpu governor, it means that a kernel panic has occured. You can check /proc/last_kmsg for the error log. After your phone restarts, it will revert back to the default governor.

Yes I agree.
Tried many times your fix instructions on my d5322 (ex xm50h) dual sim but no results... Waiting for @abcdjdj release with fixed ramdisk :good:

Why is Sony T2 stuff being posted in the Z2 forum?
The T2 and Z2 are very different devices. Different CPU, different GPU, different RAM capacity, different screen size etc etc.
If any Z2 users flashed T2 ROM's or followed advice that was meant for a T2 they would likely brick their phone.
It seems VERY bad that T2 devices specific things are being posted randomly to the Z2 forum?!

you probably got your phone with a contract so you have an unlockable bootloader as far as i know there is no way to unlock the bootloader if it is locked with a telco you may try asking your telco where you bought it if they can help

try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-u...-dual-t2806708

B634 much better than B510, B511, B512, B513.

After pass through all KK versions availables, my conclusion is that the B634 is the best version in performance, battery consumption, etc..
My method has been the installation through local dload and local upgrade option.
Immediatly after installation, do a "factory data restoration" to guaranty a clear implementacion (radioFM its there).
Before installing my applications,
Disable all applications preinstalled that you do not use use, not forgetting Google apps those are particularly resource-intensive consum.
With Protected Apps option disable all of them, except Whatsapp.
With networked application option, disable all of them except those you want (browser, mail, whatsapp, ...).
Later install your apps and restrict them access to network and protected as you want.
You only need to be root if you want to hide the name of the carrier from the notification bar.
This is my experience i hope it helps for somebody, as the excellent entries this forum has helped me to understand this crazy and funny terminal.

+ as you say
- after B634 the P6 is for all Time a Turkey Phone (see /data/custum.bin after downgrade to other rom)

It is true, I forget to say in my previous post that ONLY INSTALL THE FIRST UPDATE FILE !!!
It seems according is indicated in another post that the second file contains something not so good ...
Luckily I have only installed the first update file ....

This firmware is much better than all of the other ones i have tried.
Much smoother.
I flashed the part 1 and part 2 and then i read the post about the fact that it changed it from Europe to something else "vodafone/trso" I flashed the file from the other post Vendor Westeuropa_for B51x.zip which puts it back to standard European branding.
The only minor issue I have is that the boot animation is the stock "Android" but I don't care that much.
All fine so far.....

I flashed the first part.. start up logo , theme is the same as from previous. Radio etc works as before.. only the now it is B634. Cannot feel any special change. I think the best ROM which has GPS fix was from the B511. This is okay'ish like B513

i also did same thing,,, but carefully observe the battery consumed by cell standby...before it's take 4% per 7 HOURS,,,now it's take 4% per 1HOUR,,,,

Part2 have included and write a new batt.img. i have not found a Huawei original batt.img to recover it with my patch.
But, i`m now back to B512 with my patch and Batterydrain in Deepsleep(3G and Wifi on)) is 0,5%/h.

The battery life for me (still early days) seems to be ok, I even managed to improve it by turning off "Always-on mobile data" and it reduced the battery usage a lot.(and I still seem to get push messages etc)

Do not use Automatic Tool more than once for each kernel (boot image).
If you did that by accident and device can not boot. Just reflash original kernel then use the tool again.
HOW TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER WITHOUT FREEZED SCREEN?
- Unlock Bootloader Tool (2 recommended options: 1-1-5 or 1-5-5)
- Root your device.
- Enable USB Debugging.
- Extract and run this tool (Download) - READ INSTRUCTION WHEN TOOL IS RUNNING.
- From your device, using any File Explorer to copy cmdline file from /sdcard to /d/osip
- Reboot device.
CHECK IF TWEAK IS APPLIED OR NOT
- Use any File Explorer to get into root folder
- Check if value in /proc/cmdline has "... intel_idle.max_cstate ..."
READ THIS OR I WILL NOT CARE WHATEVER YOU COMMENT HERE
- Who used my tool and get thing fixed, help the others if you can.
- If you tried all options of unlocking bootloader and applied tweak but your devices still get freezed and automaticly reboot, get last_kmsg by using Kernel Auditor (right after reboot) then post in the comment section.
- Just like above but if it's freezed without reboot then I'm sorry that I can't do anything for now.

You mean "unlock" by unofficial tool or asus's app? If it's unofficial tool does not cause any problem in kitkat base but not lollipop then I need to talk to that "guy"

Im sure for 99% unofficial unlock doesnt couse freezing on 4.4, i used official only one time, but unofficial is just flashing ifwi and dnx from officiall firmware.

The fact is that if unofficial unlock doesn't cause freezing on 4.4 then it won't cause freezing on any base.
And the official one, pretty the same except that it can detect your unsupported devices if you're using later kitkat rom.
For example, If anyone buy a new device with 2.20.40.13 manufactured rom, official tool will tell you exactly that your device is supported or not. But if you downgrade to any rom earlier than that then it won't, because it just simply can not realize your new device with new mainboard and stuff inside.

Which tool did you use? How long do you use kitkat to ensure that it won't freeze?

My bad then, I forgot to mention fastboot of later base than 2.21.40.44 does not allow flasing ifwi so official tool's not supposed to work proberly.
And about your case that it's just freezed in 5.0 instead of kitkat, it's hard to say but it could be caused of 2 reason:
- not compatitive bootloader (dnx) version. Because after all if.bin file and also official tool are made for kitkat but not lollipop.
- if frequency of freezing is low, then it could be something else that I can not say for sure without logs.
Conclusion: Can unlock bootloader or not, it's based on the result we got from kitkat rom. That's why I do not mention 5.0 here.

thanks to you im so happy u made this thread..
anyway i had some question...
we know that disabling 2 cpu core will fix this freeze issue..but with a cost of performance and broken camera
and... "sometimes" if i play a game especially the heavy one,ex:vainglory... the freeze is gone
i wobder why that things can prevent the phone to freeze??

I think it is first problem what you mentioned, anyway why asus didnt make if.bin for 5.0 it is impossiblle or it is beacuse they are lazy as moct of time?

Disable 2 cores won't fix freeze issue but just decrease frequency of it. You don't need to throw away performance and camera for that.
And yes, some game will not cause freeze when you play. If I'm not wrong, how your figure touch the screen in game could be the reason. For clearly, it won't be freezed or least freeze when you play a game that one or more than one figure touch the screen continuously when playing.
VainGlory is an Moba game which is perhaps required 1 figure touching continously to move characters right?

Hello there , saw about kernel panic . I too experience sometime reboot due to kernel panic . Then i disable kernel panic and everything is fine for me. You got any idea to fix ? And i am totally confident its bug in kernel not in bootloader

It depends on last_kmsg you get after panic. There are quite a lot reason for kernel panic that I can not say for sure.
