So im currently running the most recent version of cm7 stable version but i want to flash over to a nightly build. I currently dont know which nightly build to go with. Also i have tiatmat kernel with my cm7 version. I dont know if i should just flash the nightly build rom over my current one or what? If anyone can give me some pointers on how to do this. Im just looking to not having to set up everything again than what i did. Also im trying to figure out the best setup for overclocking my phone in terms of undervolting or anything that saves battery but pulls out the beast out of my phone. My phone currently runs at about 1113mz. Any tips are appreciated. Thanks!
Just go to the link for your device and download the latest cm7 nightly. Flash like you would any ROM, since you're already on cm7 there's no need to wipe

Yes. Do this UNLESS the nightly is a different android version. If it is a different android version, then it is recommended to wipe data before flashing.
Well i just flashed over to a different rom. I flashed over to Gingerbread-Evo-Deck [1.3d][2.3.5 beta] with SalvageZen kernel. Im having a bit of a problem though the phone heats up to around 41 C. Thats with the phone running at around 1113mhz. I wanted to know if theres any way i can do a set up to keep it at a stable speed & temp?
Have you tried setting profiles in Setcpu?
Yeah ive tried setting down some profiles but the phone heats up with minimal use. Since before i had the tiatmat kernel & flashing over to the salvagezen kernel has helped.

Hey all,
I've been trying to install custom kernels and do the following:
clear cache > clear dalvik cache (to be safe) > flash kernel
but every kernel I try gives me random reboots, even without applying OC/UV. Could someone help me figure out what it is about my atrix that causes this ? would greatly appreciate it.
rooted, boot loader unlocked, stock ATT atrix on GB.
Flash a custom rom, your running stock GB with a custom kernel never really turns out 100% also faux's kernels seem more stable atm

was trying every update faux released, was really hoping there was a way to get it working without a rom since none really catch my eye / are to early in development.
that being said i'll probably end up manning up and doing it or waiting for cm7 to be done.
New SG2
Home home, it was running 2.3, did a OTA check, it said 2.6 was available. Didnt do it, researched on here first. Noticed alot of battery issues with it.
Rooted with superoneclick.
Flashed Sihyah kernel with odin
Flashed STOShock
Flashed ICS Theme
Charged to 100%, wiped battery stats
Now its my first day running the phone. The battery is really sucking right now. Its been dropping like 1-3% just when i reboot the phone. Seems to drop about 5-10% an hour of the phone doing nothing/turning screen on for 1-3 minutes a couple times to check notifications every hour. I checked wake locks etc, nothing is holding it up.
Now i noticed the version of the system is UCK6 and the kernel is 2.6. Dont these versions have problems?
Is there any other suggests Kernels or roms to flash? I'll even goto a stock rom if its battery life and performance is near the top for all roms. All i really care about is a solid stable long lasting phone with a ics theme and having root.
Perhaps the crappy battery could be from this being my first charge too and the battery not going through any charge/drain cycles yet?
there is no version 2.6 for android....
kernel version and android version are not the same thing. 2.6.x kernel is normal for EVERY version of gingerbread.
what you need to do is have a look at the threads, specifically one called [REF] Known identified battery drainers and check at what apps are eating up your battery.
Doh, what i meant was 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 i believe. And i followed that thread, there are no wakelocks keeping the phone up.
Maybe a better question is. Should i be running UCK7 and not UCK6? Im reading it has some wifi bug that drains down and i use wifi alot
Im thinking of maybe going stock. As long as i can be ics themed.

shostock is a great rom, i have had excellent battery life.
try unnamed 1.3.2 and see if it works out better for you.
Alright ill give that a try i suppose.
Does it matter that im running the latest Siyha kernel? I dont have to reflash any kind of different kernel do i?

a kernel will be included with the rom.
you can flash any kernel you like, but it could be whats causing your battery issues.
I see, i thought you had to flash a custom kernel first before flashing a rom. Because on the SHOstock page for installation it said "You must be running a kernel with CWM."
So i thought i needed to flash a kernel first.
But anyway, if roms include kernels, which im guessing the rom is optimized specifically for that kernel thats included. Whats the point of having them seperate to flash? So you can run a different kernel for some reason after you flash a rom thats using a different one?

You only need the kernel beforehand for CWM. The mentioned roms have kernels included in their package, so it'll be changed upon flash. After flashing the rom, you then have the choice to change to the kernel of your liking. The kernel included is typically the developer's choice for what they think is the best for their rom (perhaps PirateGhost will chime in on this part). Your experience may vary though, which is why you might change to something else.
Gotcha, totally understand. I looked around trying to find a thread that explained the different Base versions.
UCKK6
UCKH7
GWK74, etc,
Im trying to understand the order of oldest to newest release, and what the differences are.
Also, im guessing these bases are official samsung coded items right?

A friend of mine asked me to flash his phone with a new ROM. He's still on the original ROM that came with the phone, rooted. But is complaining about the phone being very laggy.
Would you suggest to just update the phone to the latest stock ROM, or which stable ROM would you suggest to flash?
Any nightly build is out of question, as well as any ICS ROM, since I believe they are all in Alpha/Beta version. He will no be playing constantly updathing his custom rom to the latest build, so I just want to flash an already stable ROM, better than a stock solution.
Thanks for your input.

Cm7 rc1. Enough said lol.
Custom rom of course. I prefer nottachtrix, since its stable and 2.3.6 android with blur.
Sent from my MB860
Unlock bootloader and flash Nottachtrix 1.3.1.
If you flash that, also flash the fixed 2.3.6 webtop afterwards.

CM7 RC 1. No blur to slow it down.
I would like to install a rom on my recently purchased galaxy facinate. I need to use the bluetooth and gps a lot, so I need a rom that has both of those working very well. What is the best stable rom to use for this? I have installed roms on previous phones and have had troubles with various functions, but I'm certain someone out there must know a good and stable one that noob like me could use.
Thank you for your time.
First take a look through this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2132986 as it's a recent discussion about the same thing. Anyway, I would personally recommend CM 10.1 as I've been on it for a while now and it's rock solid (I've used BT and GPS on it too).
I want to make sure I use the proper instructions/files, I have found mixing up the roms can cause me troubles in past builds. I found these instructions on the forums, are those links still accurate for the CM10.1 build or do you know of a better installation method. Im focusing mostly on ...
--------
Step 2: Download ICS Teamhacksung Build 1 or 2 to the root of your devices sd card.
--------
but if you don't mind setting my mind at ease that I should use those files and then flash CM10.1 on top of those files/steps it will save me some headaches I'm sure. Again thank you for your time.
Step 1: Download these files to your pc:
Odin- http://www.mediafire.com/?5y0vkhz85w3j4cz
Samsung Driver- http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25089906/SAM...ile_Phones.exe
CWM4 fixed for cm7- http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...2&d=1311907538
Stock EH03 rom- http://www.imnuts.org/downloads/fasc..._GB_CM.tar.md5
Atlas_v2.2 pit- http://www.mediafire.com/?r2mi80911vgjjjz
GB bootloaders- http://goo.gl/6aJ1N (this needs to be extracted with a program such as 7zip)
Step 2: Download ICS Teamhacksung Build 1 or 2 to the root of your devices sd card.
THS Build 1- https://dl.dropbox.com/u/69414229/fa...eng.BUILD1.zip
It looks like you pulled that from droidstyle's guide, which is exactly where you needed to go and everything is accurate.
About the THS flash... well, different people here seem to have different experiences. On my device I don't flash THS before installing anything, I go directly from flashing CWM4 to flashing whatever I want to and have no issues, but there have been people on here who get errors that way. If it makes you feel better to flash THS before CM 10.1 then go for it, it won't hurt anything, it'll just take longer.
This whole process is not something you should have to do again unless you really mess something up, once you're on CM 10.1 you only need to reboot into recovery, wipe data/davlik/cache and flash whatever other rom you want to. There are a lot of good roms available that you might want to check out, in fact one of the more popular roms Paranoid Android just came out with a new version that looks pretty good.
This phone is hard to break, just don't get careless and you'll be fine honestly.
do you need to install gapps in addition to the cm10.1 nightly? and to verify you installed cm10.1 directly after cm7 skipping gbbootloader and teamhack installs?
I also found these set of instructions that seem easier, would this be the better way to go?

Yes, you do flash gapps after installing cm10. You do it immediately after flashing the ROM in recovery, no need to reboot first (better not to, in fact).
Process-wise, I've never reached for Heimdall, always used Odin, but the cm wiki article looks like a more tedious process to me...
Once you've got the USB drivers + Odin installed, and the various flashable files handy, we're only talking a few steps to go from stock to cm10.1.
Do note that after you've got JT's clockwork recovery installed, the cm instructions say to flash your cm ROM directly without flashing the older THS ROM first .

I just bought a Samsung Fascinate and was also wondering what people are using.
I tried the latest 4.22 versions of Hellybean and JellyBro. about the only thing I noticed was that the overclock setting on Hellybean had a top range of 1.4 GHZ and JellyBro topped out at 1.2.

I'm looking to update from Android 4.0.4. My SGH i777 is rooted from last year.
I have the clockwork mod recovery installed from last year. Using AOKP I think.
There's ROM's for 4.3 but I don't see any kernels posted here. Can someone point me in the right direction? Apparently the sg2 has left the limelight for a while now.
Once I get the kernel updated, does anyone have any good ROMs to recommend?
Thanks
ps You guys are an awesome community.
Which rom is a personal matter. You should try them yourself to see what you like. If you want Samsung Touchwiz based firmware, the latest version will be 4.1.2. To get 4.2.2 or 4.3, you will have to go with one of the AOSP based roms.
Since you have a custom kernel with CWM Recovery, just pick the firmware you want to try and flash it in recovery. You don't need to install another kernel first.
Wait, so all I have to do is pick another ROM? That's it? No firmware update?

firmware update? no. Whether 4.0.4 or 2.3.whatever, you already have have root/cwm; all that's left is a some recommended housecleaning*, then flash whatever ROM you want.
*either:
rom-cleaning-script
or:
factory reset
+format system
Mind = blown. Thanks so much guys!
In my experience with custom ROMs, I found that ShoStock3 v4.0 and UCMD8 v2.2 COOKED give the best battery life and stability, but I use the stock kernel for ShoStock and AJK v4.9 for UCMD8 COOKED. CM/PA/AOKP have given me subpar results in terms of stability and, most importantly (for me anyway), battery life. This is not to say that those other ROMs are bad, but for me, those haven't been working out. Your mileage may vary. Just my $0.02.

So you're looking for a rom. The rom you use will all depend on the type of software you like. If you like touchwiz, I recommend Shostock 3 4.0 or the Cooked Rom. If you're looking for a AOKP Android 4.2.2 rom, then I would use the Resurrection Remix rom, but remember, all roms differ on every phone. Not everyone gets the same results. I wouldn't use a 4.3 rom because its fairly new and pretty unstable on some phones, but if you really want to, I got the best results on the Carbon rom, but the battery life wasn't so good. Also, a lot of the 4.2 and 4.3 roms require you to flash gapps, which are the google apps for you phone. If you're looking for kernels, the usually come with the rom you download, so you don't really need to get a kernel. If you really want the extra customization and tweaks, there are some kernels out there, including AJK, Jeboo, and STI, that you can flash. I personally use AJK on a lot of my roms because I found it to be the most sucessful. I am running Shostock 3 with jeboo kernal right now. Shostock 3 has good performance, stability, and battery life and is touchwiz. So yeah, keep all this in mind when flashing a kernal. You don't to connect your phone to the computer or anything to flash a kernel. If you're rooted, you just have to have the rom in your phone storage or SD card and go into clockworkmod recovery and flash. Hope this helps and good luck on finding a rom that's right for you!
