Hey guys,
Recently I flashed my galaxy nexus from a yakjuux running 4.0 2 to yakju 4.0.4 then ota'd to 4.1 1. Everything is running fine however every now and then an app (particularly launcher but others have done it too) will force close on me. I'll go check the logcat app to see what happened but nothings in the log it starts again as if just booted. And as I said it's not only launcher, engadget (updated) will close and wipe my logs too. Has anyone else experienced this or know what is going?
Thanks in advance!

Usually doing an ota from a rooted rom will cause issues. You might have to re-root and flash a rooted 4.1.1 rom.
I'm new to flashing ROMs though I already rooted my S3 and have Mobile Odin installed.
Am I right in assuming that most ROMs ate better than the stock Android 4.0.4 firmware for the S3? If so, which is the best ROM that I should be flashing to my device?
A ROM is somewhat of a modified firmware that is based on the stock one, right?

Yup. I just read in the stickies about the correct section. I am very sorry, mods. I'm using Tapatalk which is why I did not see the stickies right away.
Kindly move this thread to the Q&A section. Thank you.

You will notice this question has been asked 1000+ times before
And always results in the same answer
No-one can tell you what the best rom is as each individual has a different opinion or specific needs for a ROM
Are you looking for a Ice cream sandwich ROM (AKA ICS) latest official release for S3
Or a Jelly Bean ROM (AKA JB) Based on leaked S3 builds
I personally use Hypergalaxy 1.6 Jelly Bean ROM
All you can do is try a few ROM's an see which one works for you best
Here is a list Of all ROM's and kernals mods etc.

My experience with WanamLite is awesome. It's based off of latest XXLDI5 and is amazing.
BTW, you can get Galaxy Note 2's gallery and Camera app from Themes & Apps forum.

Thread closed, the only person who knows what you want in a rom is you, use them, try them, and make your own mind up.
I have been waiting patiently on the Jelly Bean update for the SGH-I777, and finally got frustrated and decided to root and get a custom rom. The walkthrough that I followed apparantly had the I9100 kernel linked so after I finished, I had no modem. I found a flash to stock, but it put me back to Gingerbread and rooted. Also, CWM does not work properly either, I keep getting errors when trying to boot into recovery. So, my question is, how can I fix this or how can return the phone to ICS and wait for Jelly Bean official?

Install mobile odin lite, and flash Siyah gingerbread kernel. That should give you cwm. And then you can flash whatever rom you want.
Ok, got Siyah installed. Now, can you recommend a solid Jelly Bean build?

Just flash a few and find one that meets your needs. Lots to choose from. Good luck, happy flashing
Ok, things have progressed a bit, I have now gotten Siyah to run and downloaded/flashed AOKP's Jelly Bean build but the phone seems to be stuck on the unicorn screen "Initiating Swagger". Any ideas?
Update: After wiping Dalvik and Cache and Data, I have a successful boot!

Dude. Replying to answered threads or replying with non useful info isn't a good way to increase post count. I've seen you do this on like 4 threads today.
Just a heads up. Your chancesnof getting official JB armless then 1% as att has dropped all update support for it.

Hello everyone. Ive been running the AOKP 1/22 JB ROM for a little while which I believe is 4.2.1 and wanted to try some other 4.2.2 jelly bean ROMs like cm10 and nexus ROM, but every time that I try to flash it I get an error 7. I remember running into this problem before but I don't remember the solution. Does it have to do about this new MALI driver I've seen mentioned so much? What is it? Please help!
Thanks
First, this should have been posted in the Q & A section.
Second, error 7 is a common issue which you should easily be able to learn about by searching.
It means the flashing firmware is checking the buildprop on your phone for phone model (I777) and finding a mismatch.

Anytime I run into this issue, I revert to a really old backup (rooted-stock, CM, etc.) and then wipe and flash the ROM. That usually fixes it. Hopefully you have a backup that's compatible. If not, there's a thread around here that explains how to use Heimdell or something to flash a rooted-stock image that you can then use to update to the CM ROM.
It definitely can be done, and it's not too difficult. I've had to do it a time or two. Good luck!

Flash Siyah 4.3.3 kernel-> Reboot recovery-> Flash the 4.2.2 ROM zip -> You are good to go now.

If you are already on Siyah 4.3.3 then Reboot into recovery-> Wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik-> Format system-> Reboot recovery-> Flash the 4.2.2 ROM zip. Hope this helps.

I constantly have this problem. I download my ROM of choice, open the zip, edit the updater-script, and delete the asserts inside for get.prop

Hi all, thanks for having such a helpful support forum. I just picked up a new Note 2 and it is on FW 4.1.1. I want to unlock and root/ROM and was wondering about the recommended sequence.
Should I first use Casual to unlock, or should I take the OTA (which I believe updates the bootloader) then unlock? Is there any benefit or detriment to using one way or the other? Thanks for any help.

Over in origional dev section adam has the new root,jailbreak, recovery for the new 4.1.2 ota. So if you want stock 4.1.2 with root and all that you would be safe to take the ota on stock then run CASUAL. I beleive either way your reallywanting 4.1.2 unlocked so you can have custom roms and ive seen some of the roms being updated for the vramc3 base anyhow. So if want you could run casual now with 4.1.1 that you have (you just picked it up so im assuming its all stock) and flash a cust9m rom that has 4.1.2 already implimented. cheak out the rooting/custom rom guide and the jailbreak thread and decide. In the end both paths will lead to the same place.
Just root/unlock 4.1.1 and flash a 4.1.2 VRAMC3 rom of choice in recovery...
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. I thought it might be six of one half dozen of the other, but after recently going through OTA he11 on the DNA I'm really leery of any updates.

Yes, it was 4.1.1 stock. I took your advice and unlocked/rooted in 4.1.1. What is the difference in having a base of vrall4 vs. vramc3? I flashed Jelly Beans and am showing 4.1.2 on vrall4. If I went to a different ROM based on vramc3,would it cause any issues? Thanks for the help and sorry for the n00b questions or if they've been answered a lot, I haven't modded Samsung in a while.

Jelly Beans builds 15 and 16 are on the new base, VRAMC3, which is 4.1.2.

Many sites have a change log of all the changes that vramc3 brings to the Note 2. I flashed a stock vramc3 ROM that VZW pushed OTA. The only difference is that the Jelly Beans developer (beanstown106) rooted it, replaced the secure bootloader and made it flashable. So I've basically accepted the OTA but I'm still rooted and unlocked.

Here's what I did: Stock 4.1.1 VRALL4 -> Unlocked/rooted with Casual --> Flashed Jelly Beans build 16
Now in my "About Phone" setup, i have this: Android version 4.1.2; Baseband version I605VRALL4; Build number JZO54K.I605VRAMC3
The build flashed just fine and it appears I'm on VRAMC3. However the baseband remains at VRALL4, I assume because JBeans doesn't update the baseband. Is there any reason to care about the "mismatch" between the baseband and the build? Should I go through the work to update the baseband, and if so what is the best method? I've been looking around the net and have found a bunch of conflicting answers to this question, so hopefully someone can straighten things out regarding the Note 2 specifically.
Thanks for the discussion.
Baseband is the modem. Just download and flash the zip.
