i{m try to put any rom in my wizard but only 3 give me results the faria rom the mb rom and the core rom so tellme what is the best rom for wizard
in advance thx
How on earth are we meant to tell you what rom is the best?
Faria's and xplore rate highly, molski is also up there, at the moment im investigating mfrazzz's rom. It is a matter of personal preference, there is no definitive best rom because all wizard owners are recycling the same poo.
Im not flaming you but it would be nice if you pulled your socks up before you thought about posting a question such as this again.

1. Decide what programs you really want to use.
2. Decide what programs you really don't want to have.
3. Decide which base OS you want to run - stable or bleeding edge.
4. Pick the ROM's that are a close match to your choices in #1 & #2.
5. Read the entire posts for those ROMs, and decide from user feedback on which to use.
6. Try a few, get a feel for what works best for you. No rom is right for any one person. It just depends on what kind of base you want, and how much customization you want to do.
Best bet is to stick to the high profile roms, such as Faria's, Xplore, Crossbow Reloaded, etc... while you're checking things out. Test, test, test...
Then when you're ready, build your own
Is there a (mostly) complete list of released ROMs anywhere?
I'm having trouble learning what is the latest WM6 version is, seeing as some ROMs have a v10.2.xxx and some a 15.x.xxx and others a 6.2.xx. What on Earth do these version numbers mean?
Is there a thread I simply haven't found which explains this?

What features do you like?
What do you use your phone for?
What do YOU like?
No one can answer this question for you. You need to research each ROM and see if it has the features that you like. If you want to know what others are using then look at their signatures and you will see what they like. But that of course is no indication whatsoever that you will like it too.
All of the dedicated cookers on this site do outstanding work and each has their own style. There is no "best" ROM, they are all top notch in their own respects. Try them out, use them for a few days, see if they meet your needs.

I haven't looked at the Wizard WIKI lately because most of my focus has been on my Hermes of late. But at least for the Hermes there is a page that lists all available roms with links to the release threads and to the download sites and mirrors. If there isn't something like this for the Wizard you could always start this yourself with the information that you research and hopefully others will contribute and keep it going.
OK, so here's the thing... I'm kind of new in the Android acknowledgement, so I hope that here will be the place where I will get my answers. So here's what I know...
At first I didn't know that Android was Java-based, using a modified Linux kernel which we all know it's C-based (entirely). After a while, I found that there were different firmwares (ROMs) from the original ones, called Stock ones and also different kernels. After reading lots of info about how things actually are, I've decided to root my stock and then I moved to a custom MIUI for my SGSII with a JB implementation. At first it was great, but I had some issues which left me disappointed. Then I moved on to the official MIUI (China - English one). Things got better after I got used to it. The major bugs disappeared, only small ones left and a few crashes, but in time most of them got fixed. Later it crossed my mind, "Why are there so many different kernels and which is the best one for my phone or ROM to be precise?" Well this is where I need your help. I've read some topics that siyah kernel is probably the best kernel, which fits the MIUI rom. The pointing of concrete kernels isn't the kind of answer I was actually searching for. To be honest, I need answers to questions like:
How many kernels are there ?
Which ones are safe ? (I've read that there are badly written ones, so yeah, it needs to be asked)
Statistically, which is the best kernel and is it for the MIUI rom ?
How can I tell that it's suitable for the MIUI rom ? (Since I've read that not all are)
What are the risks of changing the kernel?
How can you test the kernel's behaviour, an app which makes statistics in time or some other methods ?
Believe me, as annoying this topic might seem, lots of us (the newbie users) are burning up the google servers, just to find these answers. I'm really hoping for a reply spam with answers (if possible , spare the trolling ones). Thanks for reading my annoying topic, anyway
Since most of the source is available, basically anyone can build their own kernel at home, so it is hard to tell how many kernels are there.
what isn`t available as open source are most of the OEM-specific drivers. Samsung, for one, doesn`t make most of the drivers' source publicly available, so kernel developers have to make a binary kernel around the binary drivers and literally pray their work well together.
Siyah is safe, but I prefer the stock kernel (I like the stock ROM... go figure). The stock kernel is the only one that is sure to work properly with all the hardware in the phone, because it is the only built from sources for the drivers as well (read my previous paragraph).
Which ones are safe (other than stock and Siyah): you gotta try them for yourself, read other users' remarks and feedbacks, and so on.
Risks:
Very low. As long as the bootloader is good, if the kernel totally malfunctions, just reboot in download mode and flash something else.
Some app may work very well in one kernel and bomb in another. It may crash in some kernels. It is very empyrical.
The problem is that custom kernels don't undergo the same type of quality testing as stock kernels. Developers have very limited resources to do that, and some developers are more interested in having a short time-to-market than a quality product (well, many large corporations act like that as well). At the end of the day we - power users - are the beta testing and quality assurance teams for the kernel developers.
Well, I'm working hard on a entirely pure custom GB rom and I don't know If the best it is use the stock firmware or cyanogenmod, anyway, I really like the freedom of cyanogenmod gives to his users, and I like to try, but I can't see on list devices of CM wiki my device, an Xperia U ST25i, after all I saw this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/general/guide-how-to-build-cm9-cm10-cm10-1-t2315488, I almost cry, because I always wanted to use cyanogenmod on my Xperia...
BUT one day I write this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41714663#post41714663. I wanna know that there is some risk of bricks if I build a cyanogenmod... I'm really scared... Could someone take this doubt for me? Maybe someday I will help you guys too.
And I really like to try some lowend versions of Android (< 2.0) is that possible to do on my device?
Thank you, and sorry about my english. See ya :fingers-crossed:

1- You'll probably be my hero if you bring CM7 to the U
2- That brick looks like the partitions were set incorrectly in the configuration and something ended up over a bootloader partition... a full JTAG backup would probably have fixed it
3- Probably, but it's not worth it IMHO -- Android had less features and stricter expectations about hardware back then, while performance wise stock 2.3.7 with AOSP keyboard and some services disabled already easily gets over 120MB RAM free...

Understood, there is some FULL stable CM for XU?
It could work with my Galaxy Mini? http://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/...ad-mode-fix-galaxy-s-s2-s3-s4-note-note-2-_JM
Hello, my stock OS and other software on my phone is S**T, together with my phone, it lags a lot etc.... I was wondering if there's a easy way to make my phone support CM, or it would also be nice if u know a way to change my os or firmware or smth like that so it's a bit less lagggggyyy... I don't even know what I'm talking about, it has a freaking Snapdragon 410...
Easy way? Not sure about that. But if there's no current development for your device, here's a good place to start to find a guide on porting, and learn yourself. :good:

Good luck!
Redmi note 3 ROM Uploaders please read!
I have been flashing stock roms for a few years now and I have noticed with this device that many of the uploaders are not providing all the details just some of the following:
Detailed description
Is bootloader to be unlocked first
Is a custom recovery needed
Full instructions on how to install
Screenshots
bug list
Which Gapps package to use
Please provide all (the above) the neccessary information so we can make the decision is this ROM good for us to flash on our phones.
There needs to be a template for ROM postings so it can be easy for the end users. (Forum moderators will know the formula so I ask ye guys to sticky a template)
Thank you (ordered mine 3 days ago come on gearbest I wants my precioussss)

First thing, its not stock rom, its custom rom.
Second, the developers are not being paid, and thus whatever thay are doing, just accept it and ask for help, not post post like this to command them to list things that are obviously common sense.
1. CM13 Nightly, this 2 words give enough description, what more do you need. In this time, if you don't know what cm13 is then don't buy an android. Nightly means that there are still bugs, both minor and major, and sometimes it means that there are some things broken too. The devs also list whats working or whats not. They can't list every single thing.
2. You are flashing custom rom, thus you must have custom recovery like twrp, in order to install it you must first unlock your bootloader. If you have custom recovery, then it doesn't matter whether your bootloader is unlocked or not.
3. Did you really just asked if custom recovery is needed, are you a fool or what. Let me make this clear, if you want to flash a rom, how are you supports to so without a custom recovery. Stock recovery can't flash rom, neither it can make backup, restore backup and lots of things. The most basic thing to do even before rooting is to flash a custom recovery. Without custom recovery you can't even properly root. Well you can root with some apps, but custom recovery makes it easier, just download supersu and flash it with recovery.
4. Whats there to know. If you have custom recovery, then first create a backup. Almost every thread that i have ever read on xda, it is stated every where to always make a backup before doing anything, even rooting. Then, wipe data cache dalvik system, and then flash the zip file. After that if you wish flash the gapps.
5. What do you need screenshot for. Haven't you ever saw CM13 or ressurection remix. Just google it. they are not obliged to post it here for your convenience.
6. They do provide bugs, whats working or what not. And its not like they know a bug and haven't told other about it. They, in most cases don't know how many bugs there are, the other users tell them the bugs and they fix it.
7. Why would they tell you which gapps package to use. Do they work for google. Anyway, just google gapps, your rom version, ie cm12 or cm13, you mob architecture, arm64 or arm32 or whatever, and just download it. There is no geek stuff behind it that you can't do it yourself.
And finally, you are not paying them do anything, they are doing this because they like doing this. They are not even getting paid by this. So you ordering them to these things which you can do yourself after some googling and using your brain a bit, is just unjust. Just accept what they are doing, thank them, enjoy the rom, and report the bugs, etc etc, and have fun.

1. I know what CM is this is about description not quick copy and pastes from another website.
2. Some modified roms can be ran from the stock recovery.
3. You are a fool this is information for the end user I will slap you with a fresh wet fish!
4. Information is key.
5. Screenshots show people what they are flashing very helpful to the end user
6. They don't always bub!
7. Again inofrmation helps to clarify lot's of things.
Not all the guys that post are the actual devs THAT DO IT RIGHT, some are just bad copy paste jobs coz they wanna be cool n **** and don't Fu(&ing tell me not use andorid you little pretend dev snot! :victory:

If you are using a 32bit windows, then do you ask others which application to install, 32bit or 64bit. Man you are a joke, it's not information, its common sense. information is which partition is used for what purpose. How to restore imei. How to unlock lte band, not which gapps to flash. And there is no stock recovery out ther which flash custom roms. The only roms you can flash with stock recovery are ota.

So if you are not a noob then why are u asking for such things that are common sense. Nobody ask these things now. I just passed class 12 and i know most of the procedure for tweaking an android. I can even write partition table. You just have to search. Not post like this and expect the dev to post them too. Do a little bit more work to achieve something.

Coming from a Huawei g510 where i got my roms on Modaco, and The zenfone 2 here at xda the posts were well put togther with all the info needed , I have found quiet a few here with very little and it's kinda lazy on the posters part.
That is all. I ain't a programmer (although i touched on some c++) but I ain't a noob just like details and not everyone is well informed and there a newbies to flashing roms it's to help them too not brick a device.

From what I see it's mostly non devs just copy paste guys who are doing it.
Does it hurt to have a small guide or at least the fundemntals of requrements for the installation of each rom?
Waiting on my redmi still order prcessing, hurry gearbest hurry I am back on my g510 as my asus went for a swim in my tiolet!
