Root it if you want. Yes, it can help in many ways. See here: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/top-10-reasons-to-root-your-android-phone-2/. To root your device, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853672 or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955061. You choose whichever rom which suits you.

Probably CM7 but you could still try some of the others.
after installing cm7 can I downgrade it to my stock rom which is 2.2.2?
Whats the best app to back up my files?
And when I back up my files do the apps that I've downloaded from market also get backed up?
And what do u mean by flashing?
sorry about the noob qs
You shouldn't root your phone until you have a full understanding of what you're doing, how you're doing it, and the reasons for doing so. The best advice anyone can give you is to read, read, and read some more.
Before you do something to your phone, read everything you can find about it. If you don't understand something in what you're reading, research that further.
Your questions are easily answered, and if you can't find the answers yourself then you really shouldn't be rooting and flashing. I'm not meaning to sound rude, but you'll get yourself and your phone into trouble by not understanding what you're doing.
Head over to your device's specific section here on XDA. Read the stickies in each of the sections, you should find helpful information there.
When I was learning, I read through the Q&A and General sections to get more information. When I hit problems, I already knew the answers.
And if you can't wrap your head around all of this, that's fine. Not everyone can understand it. If you read and read and still can't understand, then maybe you should stick with your non-rooted phone. Again, I'm not being rude, I'm just being honest. Because if you go ahead with it and don't know what you're doing, you're going to get stuck in an uphill battle... and possibly brick your phone in the process.
Good luck with your search!
Ya m not gonna do anything without understanding what it is!
There are so many forums that m not able to find the exact answer I need !
Anyways I'll keep searching
about the battery,almost all android maybe smartphone,now only last a day...dunno...
depend on using ofcourse...sory bad english

Yes, you can turn off usb debugging (although there is nothing wrong with leaving it on; some people would even rather leaving it on). You can install apps like Setcpu, root explorer, terminal emulator, titanium backup, sd booster, script manager, etc. Instructions to flash a rom (for your device) can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654.
M thinking of installing the stable cm 7.1!
Is it really stable it should I try the unofficial versions?
my stock froyo is 3.4.3-36-1.7
Can I install cm 7.1 directly or should i flash another froyo before installing?
And how is the battery life in the 7.1?
I read in a few forums that people getting 6hrs or so of battery ??

Well, that's why its called stable . You can try the nightly versions (if that's what you mean by "unofficial"), but don't expect the best performance. It's best if you perform a full wipe of data and cache before flashing (also make a nandroid backup).
P.S. It's better if you post in your device specific forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=852; some of your questions have already been answered.

If I want to go back to stock should I restore the nandroid back up and then flash the fixed sbf or should I just flash the full sbf?

If your stock rom was the nandroid backup, then yes, you can just restore it and you'll be back to stock.

Hey all,
Today, I'll be picking up my new P500, after deciding to get a phone before my trip away.
I was considering flashing franco's rom and kernel combo, but seeing as I leave tomorrow, would it be worth the risk? This would be my first attempt at anything like this, and while I know I can get it to work eventually, would the benefits outway the risk of not having a proper functioning phone in time for my trip?
I'd be using my phone for video and music playback, and some pic taking, while keeping me connected to Facebook the whole time, if my priorities make a difference.
if u are good with nerd stuff, do it.
or stay away! u wud end up asking ur friend for a spare phone
with this phone yes absolutely it makes a amazing performance difference with the right ROM and kernels
The answer: YES.
It's pretty easy, root with gingerbreak, install a recovery, make a nandroid and that's it! Now jflash a nice rom/kernel combo and you will benefit of a much better battery life and performance overall. Enjoy!
Btw, welcome to the party here
sure the feeling of constant crashes and a bricked phone (that used to work perfectly on stock) is awesome.
I suggest this:
use your stock phone for a little while, get used to it, and then flash a custom rom and see the differences; you won't want to go back again

Well that depends on how many beta things you try
Go, no problem at all, it's easy. You can try what you want and you can always come back.
It's good to install a custom ROM and Kernel, I use [ROM] devoid. #froyo-final & franco kernel. Very fast, smooth .
If you just get the phone new, I will recommend your stay with the original firmware. That way you dont have to worry about it during your trip, and you will have something to reference to when you try the custom ROM/kernel later.
Okay, here's my personal opinion. Having bought my Optimus T (P509) brand new in November the week it came out, I had no option but to keep the original firmware for a while. It's not that bad. It's very stable, and it honestly isn't that slow. I was only getting about 460 on my quadrant, and I was disappointed, but quadrant has come to mean nothing. Despite my consistent 1000+ quadrant scores on other ROM's, I was disappointed with the appearance. Appearance has come to mean almost everything to me now. This all being said, I would advise keeping the stock for a while and messing with ADW Launcher (found in the market for free) and some of it's themes. Although it's totally worth the minimal risk of bricking, as has been previously stated, you'll fully appreciate custom ROM's more if you keep the original ROM for a time.
Go Launcher Ex will give you a great overhaul as well on stock ROM.
now day it is very easy to:
1. root Use GingerBreak, just click and click reboot, all done.
2. Install recovery, For 1st recovery u can use ungaze zip and terminal emulator with very short command for Amonra, or use Rom manager to install CwM.
3. Flashing Custom Rom, just go to recovery Wipe all and then Flash it.
its just take 1-2 hour to finish that... very different with me when i install Custom Recovery on Last Feb... you must use ADB.

Well yes it is, but the main idea is that he won't understand the pros and cons of a custom rom if he doesn't get to really know his stock phone.
For example when I bought my phone I couldn't find a reason to mod it. I was coming from Symbian & WinMo and I was perfectly happy with the phone the way it was; only after I got bored with it and got tired with it being rather slow I decided to mod it and I could perfectly see and understand all the differences.
Why am I telling this? Because he's asking if he should risk moding it. The answer is no, you shouldn't risk this if you're happy with it the way it is now and if you can't tell all the differences and improvements.
Grow some balls and do it ours worth out trust new lol

And how about I have tried almost all of them? I'm even testing Ciaox's ThunderSense Rom. We're not talking about testing here, he isn't here to be a beta tester. He can just use stable roms like devoid.final and enjoy his phone.
And yes I do agree, he should use his phone for some time before rooting to really feel the benefits of customs, unless he already had an android phone before.

Tough. That's what you're going to have to do if you want an answer to your question. Quit being lazy. Takes all of 5 minutes to flash a rom & another 5 minutes to restore a backup if you don't like it :-|

As stated, tough. If you dont want to use restore thats your problem.
You can backup/restore all your apps/app data easily in one with Titanium Backup pro or restore back to a backup of entire system with recovery.
Stop been lazy and try roms like we all do. Also go and at least read the MIUI rom threads before creating topics like this.
i want some simple answers, and u kids are beeing all assholes ? srsly.. this forum has sinken low:/
all u had to do was: tell me how it is atm, in its current state.
but that was 2 hard wasn't it..?
nothing about beeing lazy, is called workaholic. u'll understand when u grow up
thanks for nothing. ill search somewhere else.
and no, i asked here because this forum used to be alot better than the MIUI community.
The engish miui always has problems. MIUI US and MIUI UK are always accusing each other of various things. I checked it almost 3 weeks ago. Wasn't stable. Launcher crashed the very first run. Updates are released on Friday only.
Use CM9 for time being. Updates are very frequent. And its very stable. I am using it now.
Helped? Just press thank button to let others know.
Hi all,
I have a stock S2, detailed as below. I've been reading over these forums for a day or two, but tbh it's approaching information overload time. I'd like to root my S2, and load a lightweight rom to get some decent battery time by cleaning off all the unwanted apps that are preloaded.
Please advise what firmware / rom I should use?
Never rooted a phone b4, so any advice is welcome
Model: GT-I9100
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: I9100XXLQ6
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-I9100XWLPT-CL941023
Build number:: IMM76D.XWLPT
Hope all the above helps
Ta
Okay, in those 2 days you read this? You are...on 4.0.4
So now we gotta find the best way to get you rooted.
You wanna flash a kernel? root thru recovery with a zip? wanna try exynos abuse?
Take your pick.
What i'm trying to say is that you need a little bit more of the reading thing. Go on you tube, read some posts, you get the idea.
Now, on the ROM subject, you want either a custom rom or an unbranded stock rom.
Which one?
Well...that is up to you.
The one hes got is unbranded.He just needs root to remove all the crap.
or titanium buck up to freeze it all up.

When you know as much as you do now, it's most unwise to root your phone and touch anything of the software.
First read and learn a whole lot more about the whole rooting-and-stuff process, but please start with the forum rules. So, search before asking, and don't ask subjective questions.

hi there,
all of us have been newbies at this at a time.
My suggestion:
Get clear about what you want.
A different interface?
Longer Battery life?
Just removing crapware?
- If you want another interface, check out various launchers from the market first. No real need to flash at this point.
- Battery life is a problem on the SII, I've got a 3500 mAh one (from ebay), which will last a day of playing and surfing. The stock battery is only 2000 mAh.
- to remove bloatware, just root the phone, use titanium backup to freeze an application you don't want anymore. (Make sure to use the Preferences in TB to set a backup path on your external_sd. Using the internal SD isn't so useful. In 'Freezer settings' you may want to remove market entry, so IF you flash a new rom, at least the old bloatware will not be downloaded automatically).
Hope this helps.
Yes, that does. My main aim is to remove all ths bundled apps that come with the s2, hopefully improving battery by doing so.
Which firmware should i use?

A lot of custom roms eat up your battery more.You want to stop unnecessary stuff running as that adds to battery consumption.
Youd also be safer to flash LP7 stock rom(4.0.3) as that dont have the brickbug......either that or just flash a rooted kernel.
I run LP7 with dreamkernel and all the crap removed and its basically my display that runs away with the battery,other stuff dont use much.
So,there is loads of permutations you can try,any of the stock roms GB/ICS x 2/JB leak,and then theres custom roms.
For now,you should prob just flash a siyah rooted kernel(root + cwm),make a nand backup,also use hktool for efs backup.Then you can get TB and remove the unneccesary things that run and eat battery(theres a thread about whats safe to remove).
Thanks for all the info, I'll jump on later and have another read up

In that case flash Siyah kernel (this will root rom), Then reboot inro recovery and make a backup.
Once you have backed up rom, install something like SystemApp Remover. There is some info on what is safe to remove, use search.

Bit more responsive? How fast do you want? I've never had such a fast and responsive phone. I've always been a flash junkie but I don't even feel the need to root not alone install a custom rom. The speed and battery on this phone is simply amazing.

Get TWRP recovery 2.6.3.3. on it and flash you some CM11
Of course, first make a back up of your current rom so you can always go back to it.But you just got it, I enjoyed the stock rom for a bit before I starting flashing other roms. Then again we didnt have many to flash in the beginning
Houstonn's 4.4.2 PA has been good to me. 12/24 release is very smooth and great battery life.
OP enjoy your new device, go check out the Development section for all the great work....ensure you are in the correct Model forums.
So guys, I have finally rooted my s3 (international version) after the warranty expired a week ago.
Have installed CWM and am in a search of ROM for it now.
For now I have decided to flash CM 11, but have few doubts about it:
Should I install m9 snapshot or m10 snapshot? I read it on reddit that m10 is not stable, so should I go for m9 instead for now?
And the zip file from their official site is around 212 MB, so does this zip file contain gaaps? If no, then where can I find the gaaps file for cm 11 m9 snapshot version?
I am kinda new to these things so sorry for being so noob.
And since I am flashing a rom for the first time, do I need to do anything else other than these steps:
1. Backup current rom using recovery.
2. Copy the zip file of the cm 11 rom in SD card.
3. Reboot into recovery, clear data, clear cache and clear dalvik cache.
4. Flash rom and gaaps(if not included in rom).
Any help regarding the above post

I have actually read a lot about it, have done all the prerequisite steps (nandroid backup, efs folder backup etc), have downloaded cm 11 m9 and gaaps for it, now the only thing that is stopping me from flashing is rootSU post here which says:
"Note that Cyanogenmod is very controversial for the international version of the S3, there are technical issues, and newer stable version is always behind, I would NOT go for Cyanogenmod at the moment.."
So should i go ahead and flash cm 11? What do you guys suggest. I know i am being too preventive but this is my first time so i think this is understandable.

That was made 2 years ago. Ignore that and flash cm if you want to give it a try. Countless number of us use it no problems. If you don't like it you can always flash something else.
Thank you for your reply. So alright I will flash cm now, and will keep you updated about my experience of flashing my first rom. Lol.

tHANKS How much FREE RAM do you get in CM11 Snapshot.
I will be doing the EXACT Same thing as you today or tomorow .
but I have a question , I'm stuck
How did you BACK UP your EFS folder/file?
I cant back it up suing the APP KTool Hack?
There is not much difference in free ram, but that should not be a problem I guess.
And for tha efs I actually used a app called Samsung tool (there is thread here on xda, go ahead and search it, else I will provide you tha link once I get on pc.) But after I read about k-tool, I even used it to backup it again and it worked for me fine. So you can try Samsung tools or may be some expert can help you in this regard.

Have successfully flashed CM 11 M9 snapshot, and everything is good as of now.
And I also didn't mount anything, just follow the simple steps ( wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, flash rom and gaaps), and everything should go fine.

Hey!!!!!! THANKS!!!
I USED Samsung TOOL
I JUST PUT THE FIRST EVER ROM ON MY PHONE!!!!!!
IT WORKS!!! :d
Im so happy I didn't screw anything lol!!!
How are you finding it?
only 1 stupid thing I got charged for a GPS because my phone automatic used mobile data!
CM11 Snapshot, is like Normal Stock Andriod. Has a few new things? like DPS and some terminal setting - Not sure.
It felt a bit laggy ,first but then speeded up.
WAHOOOO I GOT KITKAT!!!
Lol nice.
For me it wasn't laggy at all, buttery smotth. And yes as of now I haven't found any drastic changes, although haven't used phone much after updating but still I don't think my battery life is gonna improve :/ So most probably would be dead soon, will have to research on it though but thats out of topic now
Android operates differently to windows so the theory about free ram doesn't apply here.

Hello, so how are you finding it, after a week?
Unfortunatly, I am now trying to find a new ROM
The problem I have is the battery life, is TERRIBLE
I lost 10% on stand by over night

Don't blame the rom. Install betterbatterystats and find the actual cause.
