I just grew generally tired of all non related talk in the main CM threads, and decided to create this Q&A for those non-dev related purposes.
The forum rules from FXP still applies to this thread.
Do not ask for ETA's.
Hope this wil clutter the dev thread less, and that people will actually use it!
Fire away with questions, and they will be answered!

Thanks, now I can ask my question without feeling guilty:
I was just wondering, if I will be able to import stock rom stuff after flashing CM 10, like the dialer and the calendar... I really like their look and prefer it over CM look.

No, at least not in full. It needs Sony's stock framework.
Hi guys, i am very new to android device, I have a few questions about kernal and custom roms.
Lets say after i flashed cm9 into my phone, and I want to get back to stock ICS, how can I do that?
Is it using the recovery function provided that i have make a backup before or I have to flash the stock rom and kernel,which 1 has to be flashed first?

All the ROMs in the dev section except a couple are touchwiz ROMs. Please read the OP of the threads

Which one do you recommend that is close to the stock Rom, thanks.
Your question is confusing, and, like most first-time posters, doesn't include enough information.
What do you want this ROM to do? Do you want a "vanilla" ROM (without TW)? Do you want the stock ROM (stock ROMs for the GT10 all have touchwiz)? If you just want a stock ROM, why not just go with the one thats on your GT10 now? If you want a custom ROM, you need to say what you want it to do to get recommendations.
Bah, just look in the development section. There's only 4 or 5 ROMs there. If you don't know what you want then just pick one and try it.

Though it cannot be said close to the stock ROM, I suggest Galaxy Task ROM
Galaxy Task is the only one not themed so it is more like stock Touchwiz than other ROMs.
There are only 2 ROMs in the Dev section that are not Touchwiz and they indicate that. Alterbridge, Task650, and DutchDanny all have created awesome Touchwiz ROMs based on the current release of Honeycomb 3.2. Out of the 3, Task does not theme his anymore and is actually done by bOOsted in a separate thread. Dutchdanny released KMN stock without theme that you can check out.
Both are great and really it is up to you which to keep after flashing them.
Is there a reason it HAS to be stock? Just curious...
So as I was reading some of the new roms they have tags like RootBox Jelly Bean is a "pure" AOKP/CM. I'm not sure what AOKP/CM is and when i read some of the comments they started talking about the rom being hellraised. Could someone help me understand what they mean by hellraising?

Aokp and cm are open source based roms based on vanilla androids with a few tweaks. Hell raise means the rom was originally on the i9100 but was ported to our phones

does it matter that it was designed for the i9100 vs the i7777? alos I just saw the post here that say DON NOT USE clockwork rom mangers for I7777. If we cant use that application how do we go about installing new roms?

No it doesn't, hellraising makes it 100% compatible. And you do it through recovery. If to don't know that then you have some reading to do.

Our kernels come with recovery built in. So flashing a ROM gives u the recovery.
so I went ahead and flashed to a new rom, pretty diffrent. But I noticed it doesnt seem to have goole play for downloading apps. is that normal?

Its normal if u flashed an AOSP based ROM that requires gapps to be flashed afterward.
So when I go to the apps I see an icon for goo. In when I click that there is an option to download gapps. When I download it, it askes if I want to flash. Do I reflash?
nm, IM still pretty new to this. when i tred flashing the one that they had in the goo.im manger i think it was the wrong version since it just keep crashing the apps so I can to the newest version and now it seems to work. this new rom is kinda cool!
THanks for you guys help
im sure ill be back with more questions
Hello guys, I have a question regarding this MIUI ROM
http://translate.google.co.in/trans...a=X&ei=XqZNUKyCCcXqrQey7IHQAg&ved=0CCIQ7gEwAA
check out the link and scroll down, Galaxy S3 i9300 is supported and is currently based on 4.1 Jellybean
I now wonder how I can install the rom to my S3, and what do I need to flash it.
I'm also curious about the ROM's bugs, is there any if ever? is it stable?
since this one came directly from MIUI devs, I thought this one would be better?
I really like the simplicity of the ROM, I also wonder if the its okay to flash the kernel fix in this rom so I will not have the Sudden death issue?
I hope you guys can answer all of my questions ~
thanks a lot in advance!
1) To install a custom rom you need custom recovery..clockworkmod recovery is the best...search in posts for cfroot+cwm(clockworkmod)..
Steps to install will be found in its official website
2)miui rom is an excellent..it is stable...few bugs will be there...even the official release has bugs...but a very few only..
3) kernel fix is safe and is recommended to prevent dead devices
Hope it helps...

It's not. You need to try them for yourself to decide which one is the best for you.
I prefer TWRP

That s true.
I like CWM better because of the sobriety.
TWRP is more feature-rich, but a little more messy UI wise, in my opinion
Hello guys i am very new to gingerbread devices i use a Samsung galaxy grand and my friend has a galaxy ace S530i i have rooted it using universal root but now he wants cwm recovery and also a stable infact best custom rom,,,can cwm be flashed via stock recovery as rooting can be done via stock???if yes pls guide me with the linkd for cwm and also the best custom rom it wud be damn helpful and appreciated:thumbup:
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2
There isn't a ''best'' custom ROM here. If u want perfomance, flash CM. U basically flash CWM via stock recovery, and in CWM flash ROMs, kernels etc.

It seems you are new to this forum.
So listen,
There isn't any best rom for any devices. Every developer tries his best to make his rom best. Head over to development section to search for roms.
See features of rom and watch their screens and decide which rom you are gonna flash.
Whatever rom you choose their are instructions given in first post of thread how to flash , what are the bugs, how you can solve some bugs etc etc. So you have to read that. You can't ask everything.
Now about CM,
CM for ace I is not fully stable yet, it has some bugs but they may get fixed in future. Instructions , download links to flash CM is also given in CM thread or in discussion thread.
You can always go back to stock rom ( if anything goes wrong or you don't like any particular rom ) by flashing stock rom with odin.
Important thing,
Whatever you do with your phone is completely depend upon you. You can't blame developers if anything goes wrong.
I hope all your doubts are clear now.

I told you bro,
You can't ask for best rom here. Go to Ace I development section and choose rom which suits and fullfills your needs.
Latest version of stock rom can be found on samfirmware.com
But that doesn't matter. You can flash any version of stock rom. Not much changes comes with latest version.
To know how to flash stock rom go to General section and refer stickied threads. You can download everything from there. Instructions also given there. You have to search little bit bro. I can't provide all links. I hope you understand.

Hi guys,
i trying to find a stable rom rooted for my galaxy s2. I looking for 4.1.2 release but if you know of a newer stable version it's better.
The important things is that is stable.
Thanks in advance
Go for NeatROM xwms2, or flash WanamLite if you want pure stock.
Or take stock Samsung and flash philz kernel if you want 100% stock with all the bloatware.

I think it is falling under the category of "what's best rom".
Try yourself and test.
See which one suits for u

Try CM 10.2. it stable and most sorted out. but as one member said there are many options so look for things you dont like in CM 10.2 and search which ROM has them. it a big world. you have to do some reading.
Thread closed as its a best ROM thread.
OP please do not be lazy, and also remember that what works best for one person may not work best for someone else due to differences in how you use the device and what for.
