[Q] How do I find the right ROM?

I'm trying to put a better ROM on my wife's GT-I9100M I really just want something which much better battery life and speed for her... mostly battery life though.
With so many different kernels out there, I'm a little wary of installing something now, in case it'll brick the phone. Does it matter what kernel these roms are based on?
Her baseband is I9100MUGKG2
and her kernel is 2.6.35.7-I9100ZSKG2-CL361136 [email protected] #6
and build number is
GINGERBREAD.UGKG2
I'm sorry if I'm posting a redundant thread, but I've spent a few hours on here, and Have still no idea what get.

so i imagine ur wifes phone is stock right?
then ur going to need to root the phone first :L
Then i wuld recommend speedmod kernel or siyahs kernel for the best battery life.
Im running Checksrom with speedmod kernel, and usually get a decent 2 days out of it

It's rooted, so that's done... I don't have to worry about bootloader or anything?
I'll grab what you have and see how she likes it, since it sounds like it's working for you.
Thanks!
Silvercloak
PS. I got the Speedmod kernel, but where do you get Checksrom?
Same here: CheckROM v4 and latest version of Speedmod kernel and the battery life is around 2 days. Smooth, no FC's, no issues!

No no worries about the bootloader
just install Checks rom, and it comes with a kitchenapp and u can change the kernel to speedmod from within that.
BUT
make sure that the i9100M is compatible with the rom!
PS
if ive helped dont hesitate in saying thanks
Edit: my bad, just googled I9100M and found out its indenticle to the 19100 except in the name xD
so u shuld be all gd to flash, but make sure u backup before just in case.

Ok this is weird... I installed it using CWM and rebooted... it looks exactly the same as before except under about phone it says Build # is CheckRom RevoHD v4... And where do I find this kitchenapp? I don't see it in the app tray. Gonna do a reinstall of the ROM, I'm not sure if it really... took.

yeh, its a stock samsung rom mate
and the kitchen should be in the app drawer under the name kitchenpro
Well. So far so good. She hasn't really noticed anything different. In spite of my backing things up with titanium she's still swearing at it and setting some of her stuff back up.
We'll see how it goes now for battery life. That'll be what she wants most. The regular stock had the phone dying within less than 10 hrs or standby.

Yeah I discovered I had to download the kitchen thing seperately. Ended up using CWM anyways. I guess we'll find out how good the battery thing works out tomorrow when we run it down from a full charge.

How do you find the right rom ? You try out a bunch of roms until you find one that works well for you. If you think you're going to have the same experience as someone else with a given rom or kernel you're mistaken.

Hey ! I have a soft brick Prob can you help me out.
Heres the Prob: Phone recovered from soft brick through Odin (FIRMWARE=KI3). Flashed ChainFire's kernel for KI3. Added CheckRom v4 and my own rom to the external SD card. Got into recovery, Wiped everything including BatteryStats booted Check ROM. It boots up but as soon as it's up error msgs come (Force Close ones).
Need help in fixing! PM if you are willing to tell me ! Plz Reply!
Why are you hijacking this thread ???
jje
Not sure how you got 2 days battery on that ROM. My wife is only getting 12 hrs. . Might have to try something else.

+1 Pretty much nailed it. Won't know how good a rom is until you try it out yourself.
The problem is, not every rom for samsung GT 9100 seem to be the right ones... What I'm saying is, I can't just grab any ROM from this site and slap it in, it seems like they have to have the right kernel or combination of stuff to work. I don't want to soft brick it, so it would be nice to know exactly what would be safe for my phone.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to these roms.

[Q] please help! Gmail & HTC email!!!

the HTC email app and the Gmail are giving me problems.
when i open the Gmail app it begins to flicker and becomes unresponsive. the HTC email app just FCs every time i click what mail provider i'm going to use. also I've never tried to use the HTC email app until today because of Gmail acting up. my cache is cleared and I've never had any problem with any of the DERP themes until now. i had Tickle Pink but switched to DEEP PURPLE b/c i thought Tickle Pink was causing the problem.
please help me! i'm posting this here because of the theme & ROM(warm-deodex) i'm running on my phone. you can reply to me here or send me a PM. thank you in advance.
i also flashed the Rom again and it did nothing to fix the problem.
please help!
I'm assuming you are rooted? If so, either the rom itself or the themes could be to blame. What rom are you running/what rom did you re-flash? Did you flash the rom without the theme? Have you tried just flashing a stock rom?
of course i'm rooted . i have Warm TwoPointThree. most stock roms dont have good theme choices. i never had the issue with this ROM until yesterday.i have not done anything different.
yes i flashed the ROM first, i let it fully boot up & set up, and then flashed the theme. didnt work.

try doing the same thing but setting up the htc and gmail before you install the themes and see if they work.... i dont use that ROM but maybe there was an update even in the themes that may have caused an issue?
lol that's what i did with gmail when i had to flash it again...
i didnt bother with the mail app because i didnt think i would ever have to use it. now that i HAVE to it wont let me.
i'm running the updated theme, and i have the latest version of Warm, which was last updated in November.
do you have any other rom recommendations. also i have yet to upgrade to 2.17.651.5. i have CWM recovery is there a way for me to upgrade using that recovery?

for your sake id say flash the 2.17 RUU and let it install first to upgrade the software version....and no... you have to use that stock recovery for te upgrade... but do a backup and then the file recovery.img that is saved in the clockwork/backup folder is the CWM recovery and its easy to reflash through fastboot... then unlock and reinstall cwm again then reroot and then from there try to reinstall the rom.... i personally use different roms... i use boot manager pro and flash between the stock rom... CM9 ics version... and also steal 25 inbREDed 4.2 rom
that's gonna take a long while.
i've been wanting to switch from CWM to TWRP. are there any links you can recommend to help through the transition?
i like steal 25 inbREDed 4.2 rom it's just too dark for me.
uuum

Having the same issue with Gmail flickering. It's also been reported here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...on-keeps-trying-reload-screen-flickering.html
Apparently this issue is brand new and is affecting people across different kinds of phones.
I'm running Meanrom 2.7 with Anthrax RLS58 stable. Been running it for a couple of hours, no issues with gmail until about 10 minutes ago, and then it started flickering. We'll probably just have to wait for an update to fix it. Can any coders tinker around with it and come up with an idea as to why this is suddenly happening?
damn!!!
the HTC email client isn't working for me either. never had to use it until today and EVERY SINGLE TIME I OPEN IT.... IT FCs on me!

Hi, I saw your post in our theme thread too, but figured I would breifly respond here (please keep future theme discussion in our themes thread )
PLEASE provide a logcat of the FC in our theme thread, I will do what I can to fix it. It's ONLY on deep purple correct? You said it worked ok with pink?
...
/goes back to theme thread for your response and LOGCAT
...
Hey just an idea go ahead and flash your rom and then your theme like normal. Then flash gapps in theory you will be flashing the basic Google apps like email and play store unthemed versions over the themed ones. Seems to be an adequate solution for now. Hope it helps

Stuck On HTC logo !! Nighrmare Sense 1.6 !!

Hi all,
I have unbranded version of htc version and its came with preloaded T-MOBILE ICS 4.0.3.

When i have flashed Nightmare sense 1.6 via 4EXT, my phone stuck at Blue HTC Logo and vibrating every 5 seconds.
i have waited at least 15 minutes but no result.
Before i have flashed i have done , wipe cache,wipe delvik cache etc..

Thanks for replying.
I am gonna try it today. Let you know if works !!!
:angel:
First off, are you positive it was on ics (4.0+)? Sounds like a common problem that happens when people try flashing a custom ics rom straight from GB. If it is for sure already on ICS, then it sounds like the kernel isnt flashing, which would be odd since you say you are s-off.
Did u try flashing another rom? You should always try flashing a different rom just to make sure if its something wrong with that specific rom or if something else is going on.
Hopefully its just something weird with the rom that doing what the guy above me said to do, will fix it

Yes, ics is pre installed when i have bought a phone. its 4.0.3 rom from t mobile.
Stuck on htc logo but still i can boot into recovery.
one strange thing is that when phone came, bootloader marked as "Locked" but still i was able to use all sim cards.
thanks.

No. Dont do that.
There is a video on the op for that rom for a how to install guide. Follow it to a T. If that doesnt work then install a different rom.

Bricked?

So, after my landlady put my Evo 3D through the washing machine I borrowed an Xperia X10 mini pro. It was ****.
So, I decided to stick another ROM on it.
Flashed CWM, tried a few ROM's and then the bad thing. Overclocking.
I was blinded by the thought of running 4.0.4 on an overclocked kernel so tried to flash it with Flashtool and bang. Nothing.
Now I can't boot it, can't get recovery, can't connect to the PC... er.. pretty much can't do anything at all.
The main problem here being that I borrowed it and now I've killed it.
Anyone got any ideas?

If the kernel you flashed was the x10blrelock.ftf then your phone needs a JTAG.

It was either U20_nAa-ics-04_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-04.ftf or EPRJKRN_X10MiniPro_v1.0.ftf but not sure which.
What's a JTAG?
I think the problem was the recovery messing up (somehow) so do you know if there's any way to get it back on there or do a factory reset if it won't boot?
Ah. Sorry :-S

Yep! It's all sorted and now running 4.0.4
I ended up using the Sony update software here http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/software/phones/xperia-x10-mini-pro/
That got it up and running again and get the recovery working again, then I was able to use Flashtool to flash the nAn-ics-04 kernel and CWM recovery to flash MiniCM9-3.0.5-mimmi which is really good. Was hoping for a little more overclock but hey, can't have anything...
Hope this helps at least a little
