well i tried to flash one of those i500 roms on my fascinate just for the heck of it ( i think it was for an Indian cdma operator for I500)
it was a fascinate Rom alright , didnt like it ED05 EH18
but since then i am not able to odin anything , either it stops at recovery or some other point, but mostly at recovery .
i can access the download mode , but odin flashing isnt possible now, no matter which STOCK rom i use they arent getting thru , always get stuck at this or that point.
plz help

are you familiar with ADB? you can push a stock image file that way... cayanogen website has a great tutorial on it.
TBH I am not familiar with adb at all .
but the issue was resolved , looks like my usb cable was the culprit and man !! i wasted the whole night trying to figure that out ( and LOL that too was suggested by wife )
yeah i know
btw DS , could u temme which is the better ICS build and kernel now
this all happened with me getting bored og GB
actually i thought of flashing TEAMHACKSUNG's latest ICS build , somehow when i was transferring it to sd card , nothing was happening so i forcefully removed the cable and tried a few times , but it failed , In the end managed to transfer it via WIN 7 ( previously was using XP )
but when i flashed it via CWM , following proper procedure it failed , i donno what was that and my ordeal started .
and now XP wont recognise the phone neither in ODIN nor in mass storage , so doing it all via win 7
appreciate the help.

The latest THS (7.1) has a few bugs still since it is new. I have been running 6.5 for well over a month with no problems. I don't have any experience with AOKP, but there are many people who choose it over THS. I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

Ths is like vanilla, and aokp is like...... Well it has more ability to customize than about any rom i have seen.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
Aokp 28 w/ glitch 14 b6 is the best combination of rom/kernel I have ever used...no reboots, no lag, no sod's, good battery life, and customization like you cant imagine.
Thats great !!
have some specific suggestions or advise ? coz i have never ever flashed any NON TOUCHWIZ ROM till date
or may be outline the process in short , ( btw awesome guide you hav got in general )

hey folks ,
i have been banging my head in my vzn fsc since past 10 days ,
created 2 threads about how i can upgrade the ROM and i donno what not , but my issues seem to be never ending .
i am following those threads as well if someone can help me out ,
so the crux is i am using this handset in INDIA with RELIANCE settings , Its currently on DL09 ( seems to be working only on DL09 and EB01 stock )
i have tried flashing SC , community , and evil fascination , etch , but more often then now , after doing everythingb successfully , i get stuck on first boot at SELECT LANGUAGE SCREEN , which just wont buzz despite selecting langauge
so after 4 days i have given up and flashed DL09 ( adrenalyns stock version DL09.tar.md5 (308.47 MB) )
and thats , i dont think i can install any tweaked ROM
anyways can you guyz suggest me what more i can do after installing DL09 , i mean anything else that i can flash in it like some better radio , or so fix to make it use lesser battery and improve performance and voice quality.
Why do you need another thread?

Everybody's needs & wants are different. So are likes/dislikes/expectations etc.
So if marcopolo says that he needs dualboot, I guess somebody knowledgeable on the matter needs to advise about the possibility and ways of going about it. Not push him to try a new ROM (MIUI 1.10.8 Basic, since thread # 1295089 is for it), or did bimmerrob paste the wrong URL.
I myself have tried a few ROMS - WB TW (before SE released official 2.3.3 ROM), CM7 ZMOD, FXP 028/030 & some other flavors, but I always keep coming back to Stock or it's derivatives due to one issue or another (WLOD's & restarts mostly).
I would also love to have dualboot & would try searching more on it. Will post my search results later. I've dual booted between different Windows versions & linux on my desktop & laptop for years, so why not dual boot (between ROM's) on phone.
I may be from the minority who sometimes face crippling problems with custom ROM's (since most of the users run custom ROM's without much issues). At those times, flashing another stable/stock ROM is not possible due to various reasons (not having access to laptop etc), so temporarily, switching to another stable/stock ROM would be a nice feature to have.
Dualbooting is conceptually possible and we have even tried and tested it with 2.2 ROM's combining 2.1 ROM's
so far no one tried this on 2.3.3 roms.. ITs just a matter of trying and getting it to work.

I'm on the same page as you. I'd like to test a few things out while still having one ROM that I KNOW works as the primary and boot a test ROM to see if it would even work for me.
Been meaning to research and play with the old method and modify it a bit to get this idea working but never have the time.
I'll be a guinea pig for whoever gets this in alpha.
I personally need dual boot to avoid the hassle of backing up and restoring data/apps everytime i try a custom ROM
its annoying when u are not satisfied with the new one and has to switch back to an old one
so............ guys in the ur group as well !!!

I just bought a SAM Ace.. i had a Htc Magic then a X10 mini and now i turned to SAM.. heard that it was a good machine.. so..
I've been using XDA to root, and install new roms to my previous phones..
But in this SAM, unfortunately i am a bit conserned.. So can any1 help me in this questions:
: I'm running Ginger 2.2.3 updated throug Kies
1 - My mobile is sim locked.. i can't use any other sim.. I already searched that is possible to (root) the phone and then install an apk that unlocks the sim lock.. has any1 tried this? is it safe?
2 - I'm a bit worried to (root) this phone, does any1 report any problem after with network, battery and general stability of the device?
3 - Is the best stable official rom at the moment the one i have now or is there a better one ? Though Kies i can't find the 2.2.4v u guys are talking about.. so .. This isn't really an official rom right?
4- Since i've got my phone from Vodafone, it has some operator aps that i don't really use and they are using needed space, is there a way to remove them somehow.. like.. instaling a official rom from elsewere, but still upgradable through Kies? Or do i really need to (root) the device? After rooted, can i still install a official 2.2.3 rom.. but.. without all the operator crap?
5 - There are a few custom roms as i can see, i used to use de Cyanogen in my X10 mini, but i had some issues with sending and receiving mms.. , at the moment.. is there any stable and fully operational roms ? including the mms solved problems..? cof cof.. and good battey usage time ?
6 - Sorry for any bad english.
Thank you !!
Welcome to the community!
For question 4,I have used 2.2.1 and 2.3.4.felt ok except the wifi died occasionally which was a documented problem.
For question 5,I am currently on cyanogen but its a rc version.I am quite happy with it as performance boosted.but it came at the price of battery life.haven't tried mms though

1. No idea although I don't see why it wouldn't be safe.
2. Rooting is easy. Like everything else, be careful and follow instructions to the T and you'll have no problems.
3. Correct. There is no 2.3.4 update through Kies...I think. Plug your phone in and find out.
4. If you want to remove bloatware, root your device and use Root Unistaller. Alternatively, flash a new ROM.
5. There are two variants of CM7.1 at the moment. One was made by BehradGH the other by Grif_07. Both work wonderfully.
6. It wasn't that bad =]

You should really be cautious when trying to unlock your phone. A lot of people bricked their phone by doing this. Since I have no personal experience in this; all I can do is direct you to threads on XDA but I'm too lazy to look them up for you so I suggest you to use "search".

I am using Icecream Sunday by Jusada. It's an ICS themed CM7.1 ROM but it has been stripped down to the bear minimum. Jusada initially made it as a foundation ROM for developers to then customize as they saw fit but it has become very popular amongst forum members as a day-to-day ROM. It is very stable and more importantly (for me) it is FAST!
Also, because it has been stripped down, I have noticed a lot better battery time.
Granted, the battery life on almost all Android phones is crap, but if you're looking to be more conservative with power and increased speed, use Icecream Sunday.
So to answer your question - I get about half a day's SOLID use from my battery.
As far as MMS goes, I am not sure. You'd have to ask one of the devs.
Hope that's helped

Welcome to XDA!
1) It can be quite tricky to unlock the Ace, and can brick/reset it. First check if it really is locked.
2) There's risk involved in rooting, but it's minimal - if you follow the instructions. There are pros and cons of rooting, but the pros outweigh the cons.
3) Kies sucks IMO, so you're better off upgrading with ODIN. Look in this section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1167.
4) The best way to remove the bloatware/crapware is by rooting and then uninstalling them, or by flashing a custom ROM.
5) There are a lot of stable ROMs available, take your pick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194358, there's supposed to be an official Cyanogen for Ace(cooper) in the works, but if you can't wait that long, I recommend this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263292

Guys
Can someone point me out to a stable and fully functional MIUI rom for galaxy s2 ? . I could not find any info regarding the rom on MIUIs website as well
I use Galnet Miui (galnetmiui.co.uk) 2.11.26 and have had minimal problems.
Now...
Just because it works well for me does not mean you will have the same experience with this rom. Your phone will have been built ever so slightly differently to mine so far as the "quality" of the components go, you will have different apps installed on your phone and you will have different usage patterns to me.
So what I'm saying is by all means try it out, but also try out other roms & see how they work for you.
I find it impossible to believe you went to Miui.com, clicked on the english site & couldn't find the downloads. That tells me you didn't try hard enough, so I suggest you go back there and have a proper look. Also, you can have a look at Miui US, their rom is a different take on Miui again.
If you're not the sort of person who's prepared to do a bit of searching and experimenting with your phone, and you want a rom that's always stable , I suggest you leave your phone on stock firmware & just enjoy a fantastic phone (the phone is brilliant just running stock).
Thanks mate for the detailed reply . I did find the download section ! , however i did not find any help on its forums regarding the quality of the ROM ( what is working and whats not ) . And i still cannot find it
And i can search and experiment . Running CheckRom V4 for a while now and its pretty nice !
"Quality" is a subjective thing. It gets back to what I was saying about different people having different experiences with different roms.
So far as what works & what doesn't, there should be a changelog with every version of the rom, I know there is for Galnet's roms and I'd be very surprised if there's not for Miui's roms (which means I'm not going to do the searching for you).
I installed the miui.us rom . Apparently everything is working . Just the video in 720 or 1080 is not working !
is that working in the Galnet`s rom ? you can atleast tell me that

Miui.us? May i know which version you installed?
Rom : MIUI ICS XGT 'EXTENDED'
Kernel : Xcell-69X
Modem : XXKP8
Sent from Galaxy SII
It was 1.12.30
But i am back to CheckRom . Was having a few problems with the Rom
* SMS app was giving constant FC ( even after trying the fix )
* Camera app was closing randomly without any errors etc
* Phone was running too Hot
* Quadrant score went down from 3600 to 2800 ( not bothered that much with that )
Just for you (because I've come to like you somewhat during the time this thread has been in existence), I tested 1080HD video just now and it works quite fine.

Do you mean that all roms here are not always stable?
Yep that's exactly what I mean. It's pretty rare to run a custom rom and not have any issues (mostly minor issues tho, mind you) at all. So many different apps, some of which work perfectly with some roms/kernels yet are nothing but trouble with others.
Stock has had the absolute living crap tested out of it by Samsung and if you want (almost) absolute stability with almost no problems whatsoever, then stock is what you want to run on your phone. On the other hand, if you're spending time on a site like this chances are stock just isn't your thing and you're more than prepared to put up with little issues that come up occasionally running a custom rom/kernel.
I know I am. I can't see any reason why I'd ever go back to stock, I can't think of a "gamechanger" or feature Samsung could put in a stock rom that couldn't be made to work in a custom rom by the *really* talented devs who post here that would make me go back to stock.

Hello friends.
I am new to this wonderful community and very happy to be a part of it.
I am facing a very strange problem. I am trying to update my WT9i Live with walkman from Gingerbread to Ice cream sandwich. Problem is .. whenever I flash an ICS rom my touch doesn't work !! Everything else works fine (physical keys / network / audio). Then if I install GB rom again it works flawlessly.
I have unlocked bootloader.
I am using Flashtool to flash stock roms.
* WT19i_4.0.2.A.0.58_(1254-1868).ftf = works
* WT19i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1254-1889).ftf = works
* WT19i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.ftf = touch doesn't respond
* WT19i_4.1.B.0.587_Generic.ftf = touch doesn't respond
* WT19i_4.1.B.0.587_CUSTOMIZED CE3 WORLD I 1254-1889.ftf = touch doesn't respond
I have no idea what could be the reason. Any GB roms works smoothly. Any ICS roms bricks the touch screen. I have tried custom kernel (mesa .. kappa) and many custom ICS rom .. same problem. But at any moment I flash GB rom .. everything works.
I did all the research I could (for last 4 days) and read many threads .. tried many things. Nothing helped.
Please help me! Please Please Please.
I have seen many threads with problem "touch does't work because of flashing wrong rom or kernel".
I don't think that's my case. Because whenever I flash a stock GB rom .. it works just fine. Problem happens with ICS roms .. custom or stock.
I am going to try some custom GB rom with custom kernel. I'll post if that works.
This thread is most likely my last hope of finding a solution .. please help!
Just out of curiosity downloaded the 587 ICS generic rom from flasstool website then flashes it .. same touch problem.
Now downloading latest Nightly CM10 coconut. I'll try it. CM 9.1 stable did not worked .. same touch problem.
Please Help ! I dont see a clue ! Why ICS roms would freeze my touch when everything else works? I am on the verge of throwing my phone out of window !!!
Latest CM10 Nightly build = same problem .. touch screen is not working.
Flashed Stock GB = everything is fine !
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Now I am downloading every regional roms of stock ICS .. its all I can think of.
I know its a very old phone and update / development for it completely stopped. Its forgotten. Still I love this little cute handset and I would love to get ICS on it (for app support .. many app do not work on GB .. like google chrome).
So please help !
Hello there!
Quick question: has your LWW ever been repaired? Like, had it's touch digitizer replaced or manipulated in any way?
I know some replacement parts can conflict with non-stock (or "comes-out-of-the-box" to be precise) software. I bought a replacement display for my Mini Pro and it would just freeze on CM10.1 but worked (kinda) on stock ICS.
And yeah, it's and old phone, but a good one. Development for it and it's 2011 brothers has clearly slowed down but has absolutely not stopped

Hello. Thank you for replying. Its a second hand phone .. my brother purchased it from a friend then gave it to me. So it may have a replaced display or digitizer. I just checked with my brother and he said his friend never repaired the phone.
So GB and ICS use different digitizer drivers? Is it possible to use GB touch drivers with ICS?
No idea. Your problem is truly rare haha.
I'm out of ideas here, most of the time flashing a stock ftf does the trick, but not here.
if I were you, i'd sell that phone to someone who woulndn't care about software updates hehe.
Hello Friends.
I am posting this in case someone else face the same problem and find this thread. In my opinion ..this is a very rare and strange problem.
This problem should never happen with an original handset.
If your touch only works with Gingerbread stock roms and even after complete wipe other stock roms freeze your touch .. then you can be sure that your touch was replaced with a cheap one. Go to a servicing center and replace it with a good touch or sell the phone to someone else who doesn't care about updates.
I went to a servicing center today and replaced my touch. Now it works smoothly with stock ICS rom. I am sure it will work with CM too. It costed me around 25$.
1 tip to recognize low quality touch. Low quality touch will not have transparent bottom-left and bottom-right button. You wont be able to see the key lights through it. Good quality touch will have transparent button. Another warning .. after market touch is most probably not scratch resistant like the original touch .. so you may want to use a good screen protector (plastic film) on it.
This is not only for WT19i. Whenever you buy a secondhand set .. make sure its touch wasn't replaced and best to check if its upgraded and working properly.
Thanks to "Pixelado" for hinting me about the replaced touch issue. Then it made sense to me .. there was no other logical reason for the stock rom not working.
I am very happy with my upgraded ICS But kinda sad about the money loss ! Anyway loss is loss. This is a good handset and I hope it will serve me good. Now looking for a way to root it.
i'm always more than glad to help
Now, on the rooting issue, I strongly recommend unlocking your bootloader and flashing a pre-rooted kernel. Why, you ask? Well, you'll find out eventually
Custom kernels often pack a bunch of optimizations and the ability to overclock. I strongly recommend Rage kernel for stock ICS. Once you flash it, i'll take care of rooting your phone on first boot. If you're not able to unlock your bootloader/don't feel comfortable flashing kernels, rooting by exploits is your only choice.
By the way, I strongly suggest giving LegacyXperia CM10.1 a try. Its awesome

Thanks a lot Pixelado. I have unlocked bootloader and using mesa kernel 4.8. Would Rage 3.2 would be better than Mesa?
I'll try LegacyXperia CM10.1 .. appreciate the recommendation.
I've never tried mesa, so no comment there. Quie frankly, rage 3.2 seemed to be all i ever needed when using a stock rom. I tried lupus, but stopped using it when they switched from CWM to TWRP.
