Hey guys,
I've been flashing and restoring my phone like 3 times a day trying new things for the last week. I was just wondering if anyone knew if there was a limit to how much this can be done. I mean, if I keep doing this will it eventually cause any damage?
Thanks!
If CWM , no .
If Odin , limit yourself to 5 times a day

Is this based on some type of information? I've never seen this and i have flashed many ROMs using odin.
..edit.. Not doubting the information by the way, just wondering if there was more supporting information?

Need help selecting custom rom for galaxy ace for a friend. This is his first android. He bought the phone just thinking it is cool to have an android and for free apps. His phone memory was full first day and is unable to move to card. I convinced him to root and install custom rom. If you suggest the stablest and fastest gingerbread on ace with most features as in stock it would be helpful. I am quite sure that he would not go for an update for next 6months atleast after I install gingerbread on his phone. Thanks in advance.

Got a lot of Sods with CODEROM V2X-2B
As I have heard sod is mainly associated with wifi. He is not a frequent user of wifi. Will that help?

Then nothing much will happen to his phone . he's free to flash any ROM he wants

Haven't received an SoD since I flash fla.sh ROM over 24 hours ago. I run WIFI constantly at work and turn it off when I leave. If he has a habit of forgetting to turn WIFI off then he may well get them.

I'm SoD-free since forever. EmoBoiix3, you're a singtel broadband user I believe? It may be related to regional network... do you get Sleep of deaths?

If you have wifi turned off, the ROM works fine.
Any idea when official gingerbread update to ace will be rolled out in India? As I'm sure he wont be using wifi but if sod also happens with Bluetooth then it may be a problem to him. I don't think I'll be around him to fix it for him.

I m using SanGinger ROM v2.0 and its pretty good.No SODs from last 4 days
Well. I guess they are all good roms, you should just try them, but since your friend doesnt seem very interested on it, well just chose one randomly (dont know if this phrase is well made, or even that ahaha).
I'm using coderom v2x-2b, and just like someone told you, sod is caused because of wifi. i'm using kph with L modem, and I have no sod at all since... well since i'm using it (2 weeks, maybe more).
All of them offer you almost the same... cf-root, a2sd and ext4 compatibility, etc etc. I use a2sd to put apps on the sd card, even dalvik cache. Now my internal memory keeps between 129-136 mb free (dont know why it changes ahhaa ).
Cheers!

It might be a hardware issue, like a loose connection on the motherboard. Shove stock on there and take it to a service centre.

I do not think it is wise to flash software to an SGH-I727 which is made for i9300 hardware. It's different hardware, different drivers, etc.

so I heard about ROM FoxHound for SGS3 that the RAM doesnt get higher than 400mb when working with this Rom!
im using stock s3 and my ram goes up to 667MB which is lretty low because I got the international version of s3.
so what is this foxhound Rom? how can I install it? and is it better from stock? what are the advantages and disadvantages?
sorry for long post and many questions.
thanks

Hello.
I need 3 Parts Firmware+PIT.
I have a problem,after repair EFS with EFS.img from i9300,the Device restart and hang on i9305 Logo,I have tried Wipe Data and flashed with original Fimrware via ODIN,but same Problem,I think I need repartition,can anyone help me?
ask faryaab from here or sammobile.com i think he would know if 3 part fw is aviable
So let me get this straight you didnt do the i9305 backup properly, so then some thing went wrong and you lost your imei. And then you tried to repair it with a i9300 efs ??

hahaha I love that bit of your signature .... you know what Its funny how some of i9300 users hate us talking about how the i9305 is better then the i9300 in a few different ways, they get so angry and envious it makes me laugh. Idiots
The only thing they can come up with is ohh ohh well that device doesnt have as much support! well i guess they are right for now but Id really like to prove them wrong so come on guys lets try port as much as we can over haha and the more users we have the more support will get, so if more people get enticed to get this device because they starting to see the dev support is growing... well the quicker the support will grow
But anyway like you said my stock rom runs smoother then my favourite tweaked up nandroid i had on my I9300, which was Foxhound rom haha.
And right now I am close to tweaking my rom as close to that... so just imagine how smooth its running now
Do you guys have your devices rooted sucessfully w CF root? bc all i really need is root. we are working on porting a (edit) heavily tweaked v of cm10 currently
