Ok, this is my first time posting on the forum. A little bit nervous!
My question is...where can I find an android rom, I mean, original, not modified, no crapware, clean like the android AVD.
This rom I am looking for should be a gingerbread...but I am not sure that the OS can be handled by the phone. My phone is a China-made one, 416 mhz processor, 191 MB RAM, ARMv5. Modified to look like an iPhone but I hate that.
Please note that it is android but not iOS.
The android rom that I mentioned above...does it really exist? I google it for the whole day but got no luck.
Otherwise, modifying the rom is my second chance.
I don't want to brick my phone! Data inside the phone was nothing important so I rather loss it.
Thanks a lot if I got that android rom! Note that I don't have clockworkmod because it is not supported.
There is no "universal Rom." every device has a different stock or original Rom. The stock Rom is the unrooted, untouched Rom that you get when you first use the phone. You can't have a universal Rom like ios because every phone is a different size, shape, and different specs. You could root your phone and look for the gingerbread version of your Rom. Hope this helped.

Nonono, I mean the rom like the AVD. Wasn't android roms will suit the size of the screen of the phone like the apps?
Looks like I need to modify the rom...pros please.
OK, I went to modify the stock rom. I use the AVD's settings.apk, phone.apk, mms.apk, browser.apk, calculator.apk, music.apk, launcher.apk, and lots more...will that brick my phone? I know that is a little risky so I got an update.zip that can rescue my phone.
Yes you will most likely brick your

The pure. Original rom is aosp.... I doubt your device has it

when everyone will be able to install the fckn OS he wants on his fckn phone, it will be a better world...for the moment there are very few devices with official aosp support (read: only nexus)...I bought an xperia s because it was the only non-nexus device in aosp project, but it seems that google kicked it out...your only hope is community...try to search more on forums...
and listen to me: buy a nexus
Ok, I gave up... China made phones are not so good at finding custom roms as they also don't have clockworkmod. So, I started modifying one by one, from the music (changed to musixmatch), email (use the avd's one), camera (use procapture free), launcher (use 360 launcher pro with android 4.0 theme) and now it looks like a device which looks like aosp! Decided to change the app icons in the update.zip to make it fantastic!

As I understand it, there is a linux kernel that android sits on. I thought the ROM was like a virtual machine running inside of android and then we loaded apps onto that. I read something that indicated that each custom ROM comes with a kernel. Then we can replace that kernel with another one if we wish. I understand that the kernel must be compatible (although I don't know how to tell) but that seems confusing. It would seem that if the ROM is running in android then as long as the kernel can run android, any kernel should suffice. Clearly that is not the case so what exactly is a ROM and why does it interact directly with the kernel?
A ROM in this case is a system image (full or partial) containing the Android operating system, drivers, applications, and/or kernel.
Like with regular PC OS not all kernels are compatible with the larger OS, primarily across major versions.

Rom futures
does anyone know where roms are going? read somewhere 2.3 and 3.0 are forks. that makes sense if 2.3 continues focus on phones, small devices etc and 3.0 continues down the larger tablet track. I am currently running 2.3.3 on gtab and it runs great. it seems to be very tablet friendly. does 2.3 provide much of the functionality of 3.0 for the small screen. can we expect 3.0 to bring additional utility to tabs like the gtab? just curious where we might be headed. keep up the great work. i stay excited about the next build!

Hi!
I have a ZTE Racer Phone, and I would like to have pure Ice Cream Sandwich running on it. The only trouble is, I have no idea how to port a rom like ICS.
I have tried porting it from a CM9 ZTE Skate Build, but the rom did not work. I tried several methods, but that did not work, either.
So if you are a ROM Porter, please read below what I need and then please PM me.
I NEED:
* A ROM Porter/Developer with plenty of time
* Someone who is happy to help out for this low-end device
* Pure ICS. No extra apps, no extra addons, just pure ICS.
I can make allowances for builds of ICS Based on CM9, but it must be ICS.
I also need it to work with these specs, and if you can see that it will not work with these specs, you can go ruin someone else's question because anything is possible if you actually try.
SPECS:
Model: Racer
Manufacturer: ZTE
Processor (GHz): 600
Internal Storage: 140Mb
MicroSD Card: 8Gb
3.2Mp Camera
Dedicated Volume Keys
Dedicated on/off/sleep key
Dedicated Call/End Call buttons
resistive Home, menu and back buttons
(Currently Running CyanogenMod-7.0.0-Mooncake)
So would one and/or some of you rom devs/porters please make an ICS ROM for the ZTE Racer?

Have you bothered to look at the system requirements for ICS?

yes, but then again, it is possible. If one low-end device can do it without some requirements, then surely another can.
Then again, maybe I am wrong...
Would you know anyone who can help me, though?
Thx in advance
if it helps I have roughly 50 cents... lol no mate, im broke sorry

Hi everybody,
By advance, I apologies for the long post, but I thought it would be necessary.
I'm the proud owner of the S3 (GT-I9300), and I actually run on Darky Rom, with a few audio mods (beats, noozy, ...) installed, and I'm right now interested in DualBooting the smartphone, but I'm kinda lost between the kernels and Roms I could be needing, the way I could have a "GRUB" like on my smartphone that could let me choose the rom to load on machine boot, or anything else I should know.
I'm explaining myself : I chose the S3 for it's possibilities in terms of everything, I mean that the games are beautiful, the quad CPU not fully exploited in my opinion, and I wanted to know if I could virtualise OS like windows or linux inside that powerful device. I've been a [email protected] cruncher since 5 years, and I always thought that when people sleep, there is wasted power, that could be used for bitcoin, SETI, FAH, or any project like that... and beacause software for theses programms are on windows or linux, why not virtualizing them?
I'm a pentester too (backtrack... love that thing!) and I saw that the galaxy S2 wifi chip now have drivers for monitoring mode, but I still don't know if that is possible for S3, but I hope so :fingers-crossed: and I was planning on testing it on the phone, but I don't want to have a "non-phone" smartphone without an android on it.... So here came the dual booting idea...
And recently, I heard about this :silly: : ubuntu as primary phone OS
So I'm hanging on the news about that ubuntu, and so there is my problem :
I don't know what to do about all of this...
So, I'm gonna ask things clearly, now that I'm done speaking about my life:
1. Is there a way for me to install 2 (or maybe 3) OS at the same-time and being able to choose which is gonna launch ?
for example :
-1st ROM : Android stock ; 2nd ROM : Android Custom ROM;
or
-1st ROM : Custom Android ; 2nd ROM : backtrack ARM;
And for this, which ROMs or kernels should I use ?
2. Is there a virtualization solution on android, where Android is the HOST and some others The guests? (like a virtualbox or vmware player?)
And a few other questions :
3. Is there a thread on the forum where I could pick up the best MODS for the S3? (like a stack of mods maybe?)
4. Is there a way to theme Touchwiz by myself ? (like restyling the notifications like this : CM deus ex human revolution , or can someone help me seek all the already done Themes by telling me what to write in the search box ("touchwiz themes" or "TW theme" is not concluding).
5. which are, in your opinion, the best 3D games that shows the power of the S3 at it's best? (I'm seeking fun ^^)
Here! finished.
Thank you for reading, and please MOD, I beg your mercy for this post ^^.
Install Siyah kernel and you will get dualboot for two (or three with a mod) Android roms.

Well, I'm working hard on a entirely pure custom GB rom and I don't know If the best it is use the stock firmware or cyanogenmod, anyway, I really like the freedom of cyanogenmod gives to his users, and I like to try, but I can't see on list devices of CM wiki my device, an Xperia U ST25i, after all I saw this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/general/guide-how-to-build-cm9-cm10-cm10-1-t2315488, I almost cry, because I always wanted to use cyanogenmod on my Xperia...
BUT one day I write this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41714663#post41714663. I wanna know that there is some risk of bricks if I build a cyanogenmod... I'm really scared... Could someone take this doubt for me? Maybe someday I will help you guys too.
And I really like to try some lowend versions of Android (< 2.0) is that possible to do on my device?
Thank you, and sorry about my english. See ya :fingers-crossed:

1- You'll probably be my hero if you bring CM7 to the U
2- That brick looks like the partitions were set incorrectly in the configuration and something ended up over a bootloader partition... a full JTAG backup would probably have fixed it
3- Probably, but it's not worth it IMHO -- Android had less features and stricter expectations about hardware back then, while performance wise stock 2.3.7 with AOSP keyboard and some services disabled already easily gets over 120MB RAM free...

Folks
Which is the best lollipop stock rom for this phone? I take it google doesn't have a rom out for this and I have to choose amongst cyna and others. Right? I have a nexus 6 and looking for something that most closely resembles that and plan to use xposed module on top of it
Thanks
@sam008: the one&only for S3, therefore the best, you find here. The actual version is made by @mcgi5sr2 (download link in post 94). Xposed is not recommendable.
