Can anybody tell me if the stock binaries/apps can be used when building a custom Cyanogenmod 10.1 ROM?
I just want to know if they are technically compatible or if Samsung or Cyanogen made something completely incompatible.
I'm referring to Camera/GPS/Radio binaries etc.
Sorry for posting here, but as i am under 10 posts i can't post in the development forum.

Hey guys, I just wanted to ask if anyone know a good post on CyanogenMod how to's and info I was thinking of trying it out.

Well if you wanna know how too flash then I suggest just going to the development section and looking at the CM7 thread by the official Cyanogen Mod account.
It says how to flash and what to flash and other stuff.
You can always visit their official website: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/
If you do end up flashing it to your phone, use a KANG, I think the lastest stable and nightly still have the 911 issue. (Because Vibrant support hasn't officially been reinstated yet)
You can find KANGs in the Vibrant Android Development section.
OK Ive scoured the development forum in the vibrant section, and I don't see any mention of anyone who has installed successfully the Liquid Smooth Rom on a T-959 Vibrant!! All Ive seen is it seems that it can only be installed on a S-3 or S-2 models!! Which sucks!! I'm currently running Paranoid Android and CM 10.0 on both vibrant,s I own, and the both ROMS are 4.1.2 versions of JB
So again I'm wondering if anyone has successfully installed without problems, my main and only REAL CONCERN is if it will write a different or incorrect primary and secondary boot loader and cause a true hard brick situation. :crying: I want to try it so badly but I don't see any mention of a S-1 T-959 successful install.
So anybody got a success and what liquid Smooth Rom and version did you use and what if any special attention to install instructions do you have!
Double posting or was this moved by a mod?

this is where I had originally posted this question, However i don't how the same post ended up in General discussions!! This is where my question needs to be, protocol wise so if a moderator would be kind enough to remove the same post from general discussion I would be grateful and many apologies for the mishap
Hey to all. This is my first post here, even though I have been using the wonderful advice of XDAers for quite some time now. My questions is this. I am looking to flash a custom kernel to my phone, but have not been able to figure out if I would require a specific kernel for my phone (techinally a T999V, but flashed with TMO rom, so a T999) or can I use any kernel from any Glaxy S3 variant? I know with ROMs you must ensure the correct one is used or you end up with a paper weight. Would the same be true for kernels as well? If I did happen to have a bad flash, would ODIN/NANdroid save my bacon?
Mmmmm...Bacon...
Thanks in advance guys and gals! Looking forward to being a contributing memer to this site, and helping out wherever I can!

Just like when flashing ROMs it is even more important to make sure the kernel your flashing is specifically meant for your device. That being said I would recommend taking a look at this guide that's lists available Touchwiz and AOSP kernels for the T999 Galaxy S3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36426656&postcount=2. Only flash kernels for your version of the Galaxy S3 and never flash an international version Galaxy S3 kernel on a US/Canada version Galaxy S3. It is sometimes possible to recover from a bad flash through a NANDROID backup, oftentimes a ODIN restore will be needed.Let me know if you still have questions .

Awesome, thanks! So in other words, I need to ensure my kernel is specifically for the T999 or T999V model of GS3, I cannot use one for ATT or VZW or anything, dtrictly TMO T999 or T999V...
Thanks!!!
Part 2 - I dont quite understand the difference between TW and AOSP, as during my learning days AOSP and AOKP were explained to me in a false way...Thanks!

Yes, you need to ensure the kernel you are flashing is specifically for the T999 or T999V model the of the Galaxy S3. DO NOT use one for ATT, SPR, VZW, etc. only for the T999 or T999V. In answering your second question, TW stands for Touchwiz which refers to the proprietary skin and features Samsung includes in it's ROM it is what the stock ROM that ships with your phone is based on. When browsing ROM threads, the threads title will indicate whether the ROM is based on Touchwiz (TW) or AOSP. AOSP stands for Android Open Source Project and refers to ROMs that have been compiled from source using the Android Open Source Project source code and guidelines ROM thread titles will mention if the ROM is based on AOSP. Many popular ROMs such as Cyanogenmod, AOKP, Paranoid Android, and others are based on the AOSP. AOKP refers to the Android Open Kang Project it is based on a combination of AOSP and Cyanogenmod source code but includes it's own set of unique features and enhancements, you can learn more about AOKP here.
Hi there, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I thought I would ask about this instead of trying and possibly bricking my phone.
I'm a semi-experienced Android user. Sometimes the terminology confuses me but I'll get use to it.
Basically, I want to install the latest KK 4.4 Avatar ROM on my i9300. I'm confused to as what files I need? I see people talking about making sure you flash the proper gapps etc?
I'm currently using Googy-Max2 Kernel 2.1.4 on Android Revolution HD SGS3 40.0. Can anyone direct me to the right files needed? Many thanks. I'm sure I'll be sticking around on these forums.
Hey Guys.
Im new at this, so i wonder if anyone could help me.
I got this old Samsung S2, and i want to have that CyanogenMod 11 Nightlies on it. I havent tryed this before, so what do i need to get this on it??????
Best regards
Alex
The information you provided is not enough .
Do you have any experience in flashing roms ? Is the device unlocked ? which version of android is currently running on the device ?
hi, you need read, read and read and ask, cheers
If it's still running gingerbread then you need to install CM9 at least before jumping to CM11.
Personally I'd install CM9, then CM10, and then CM11.
But before you install any ROMs you'll need to root it and install CWM or TWRP custom recovery.
