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. 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!
It hasn't been built/ported to this device. If you tried to flash a build from another device it would almost positively brick your vibe.

Can any phone running android 2.2 be updated to 2.3? Or is it just a specific list of phones. The phone in question here, is a Samsung Galaxy Q. It's running stock 2.2. I would like to update it but there don't seem to be too many instructions on the internet.
Any ideas...?
I think Samsung didn't make an OTA for your phone so there could be the possibility that they dropped your phone... . Nevertheless if you root it, you can put 2.3 on it manually by flashing a rom. (but this depends if there is one available of course)

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Can we upgrade micromax A35 to its os 4.0.1 ICS
if there is any solution to upgrade this
Unfortunately, Samsung did not upgrade our phones to 2.3. They dropped support altogether. I owned this phone and there is no way to upgrade it since it isn't a common or high-end phone. However on the bright side, you can root your phone and even unlock it (I did this). Depending on where you live, you probably bought it unlocked .
There is a thread here that discusses this phone. At most you may be able to flash a version of the same ROM without carrier apps if you're in the USA. Other that that, there really isn't anything for this phone. I might be able to search up the links for rooting and that XDA thread if you're still interested.
Good luck!

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
Hi Guys,
I installed the latest FoxHound 2.2 ROM on my Galaxy SIII and its fantastic. I'm loving it so far.
Before installating the FoxHound I was running OMEGA ROM and wasnt too happy about the customizations it allowed however it worked fine with Kies. I know you guys must be thinking why in the world I'm using Kies .. well mostly because Ive only owned the phone for a month and I havent read enough about the alternatives. But ever since FoxHound installation Kies doesnt seem to connect. Im using the latest version of Kies v2.5. I assumed this version supports custom ROMs. If you experts out there can let me know what i'm doing wrong Id really appreciate. I'm using the Siyah kernel by the way.
Thread moved to proper forum
Gave up on Kies and stuck to Titanium.
Not even sure why Samsung cant work on a better client for a top of the range phone.
because it's supposed to be very simple and intuitive and not include too many features hard to understand

Hi all, I'm enjoying reading lots in this forum in order to learn how to unleash my S3. One massive thank you to all who make this community such a great and rich resource. Thanks!
After reading a bunch, I took the XDA plunge. Here's what I've recently done (maybe this will help someone who's considering taking the plunge too. I was surprised at how easy everything was). I rooted my i9300 by flashing CF-AutoRoot via Odin. I then downloaded GooManager from the Market. It installed an open recovery script for me, TWRP. Next, I rebooted to TWRP recovery mode and did a backup and then a factory reset. I flashed temasek's build (v20) of Android 4.3/10.2 with the latest gapps zip (20130813). Then came the moment of truth. I was nervous when my phone took a bit longer to boot. The sweet Cyanogenmod logo just kept swirling. Finally, it booted and I was in love.
I have just a few questions about my phone now.
First, is the TWRP backup I did adequate to get me out of serious trouble if something goes wrong flashing updates? The backup ended up being over 2gb!
Secondly, have I done anything to the kernel? If not, should I?
Thirdly, have I done all that rooting and custom roms have to offer? Do I now just update my rom when new builds come out and continue enjoying my phone? If so, that's great. Just wondering what if anything I could do next, apart from trying other custom roms.
Lastly, what's the proper way to get help troubleshooting glitches/bug with the custom rom I'm using since I'm not yet able to post in its development forum thread? For example, my bluetooth won't turn off and in some apps the screen flickers or doesn't seem to render the window properly.
Thanks in advance.

1. A backup is always adequate on almost all situations and that size is acceptable since most of my backups are around 1.41 gb but I recommend that you also backup your efs since it's one of the most important things to backup on our devices. More info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
2. As far as I know any cyanogenmod based firmware installs it's own custom kernel however this is highly reversible as soon as you flash a stock firmware again.
3. Well the possibility of having a rooted phone are endless. In xda you'll find vast amount of tweaks, roms, kernels etc that you can flash on your device. Even I still keep on flashing things (with precautions of course) whenever i find something interesting.
4. Until you can post that thread just keep posting your question here in the Q & A but search the topic you have in mind first since it's most likely been asked before, just to keep the forum clean as much as possible.

No its not It has note backed up EFS .
Secondly, have I done anything to the kernel? If not, should I?
Your choice .
Thirdly, have I done all that rooting and custom roms have to offer? Do I now just update my rom when new builds come out and continue enjoying my phone? If so, that's great. Just wondering what if anything I could do next, apart from trying other custom roms.
Your choice as to try other roms or mods .
Lastly, what's the proper way to get help troubleshooting glitches/bug with the custom rom I'm using since I'm not yet able to post in its development forum thread? For example, my bluetooth won't turn off and in some apps the screen flickers or doesn't seem to render the window properly.
Some roms have a Q&A thread or discussion thread . Usually problems are posted in the rom thread .

Thanks for the replies. I booted into recovery and used TWRP to do an EFS backup. Super easy.
Years ago a friend installed CM7 on my Atrix and now it's pretty unstable. I would like to reinstall the ROM fresh. The question is, which ROM should I install. (He didn't backup before installing CM7)
I'm thinking it would be nice to go back to an official ROM but, there is CM10.1. I'm leary of going back to CM because the 10.1 ROM is not official and it doesn't seem there will be much improvements for CM on an Atrix 4G.
I'm leery of going to an official ROM because I see all the banter of bricking it with Gingerbread.
Suggestions?

The real question is what version of android do you want to run? CM7/7.2 is the only official CM ROM. CM10.1 is not official b/c of the kernel issues, which is still being worked. Does it really matter if a ROM is official or not? No. "Doesn't seem there will be much improvements for CM on an Atrix 4G."? Really? I'm not even going to post the link, I'm just going to say go google android version history and see what CM9, 10, and 10.1 have that CM7 does not have, and then restate that noob statement. Seriously, you have no idea what you are talking about.
Multiple users, including myself, have unlocked, rooted, restored to stock, many times over the past 3 yrs. In addition, there are guides readily available to help you through the process of preparing your device for custom ROMs. So the concern of bricking is a non issue unless you don't know what you're doing. Banter of bricking it only exists if you flash the incorrect sbf. Its not that hard. Sit down, read guides, ask questions as needed.
Let me be the first to admit that I am a noob and have no idea what I'm doing because this is my first foray into the world of smart phones (we all have to learn somewhere).
I went ahead and put CM10.1 on there and after adding the fixed gapp package it seems to be working fine.
Does anyone have a working link to a gingerbread ROM that works for an AT&T Atrix 4G? The links on this tread are dead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163342
