Hello
I have this rom in my rom slot 3, just as I been told trough the official thread.
If I do a full backup of the ROM in Safestrap after installing all my programs and settings, can I then Restore it to the Stock Rom Slot?
I have always done this with all the other custom rom's with no problem, I do not want more than one ROM on my phone, call me weird...
Wouldn`t do that if I were you... These custom roms are hard coded to only work on specific slots. In case of Liquid Smooth, it only works on slot 3 for now, but that will probably be fixed soon.
BTW, I`ve flashed CM 10.1 accidentally on my stock slot (Was on custom ICS rom) and now I can`t boot on stock slot, only on CM 10.1 (slot 1) and Liquid Smooth (slot 3).
Facing some issues, trying to solve them, but no success so far...

When this happens to me I always swallow my pride and go back to stock via RSDlite.
But I have always done like I said with all the custom roms, I have never had any problems after but the whole restore on stock rom slot.
But let's say, If I continue to use rom slot three. If I then go into Safestrap and format the stock rom slot, this will free up the space on mye phone right?
Not sure about that, but since you have usb working, you`ll always have RSD,.. My usb isn`t working, but I don't know if it's hardware or something messed up with stock slot...

What about making a backup file from the one rom you have working and restore it to stock rom slot? It will not boot on this slot at all?
I have been out in the dark maybe 100 times before, but I have never had usb not working??? Strange..
My case is that I'm on ICS on stock and on JB on rom slots...
I was wondering, did I mess my CID by installing JB over LATAM ICS, since there isn`t a LATAM JB release yet?
Anyways, sorry, completely out of topic here, so, let`s go to the point:
If you see me as a lab rat, you should know that I just tried flashing my working LiquidSmooth backup on stock slot, and didn`t work... At least for me...

Maybe you have to let the stock rom slot be, until there is a rot or rsd for Jelly Bean
Haha, lab rat!
I jus tried the same myself, but the device would not start so this does not work.
For now I have formated and wiped my stock rom slot, and I have liquid smooth in slot 3 wich will be my daily rom waiting for things to happen.

Yeah, but in my case no usb, so it`ll have to be via stock recovery...
Well, for now, since there`s no use for my stock slot, I`m gonna do the same as you...
Yeah, thinks it's the best when your stock rom is out of order!
But liquid smooth is a pretty neat rom, it makes me not wanna go back to the regular ics roms.

Btw, when I think about it I once had a usb not working with the first razr maxx I bought.
I do not remeber everything, but I fixed it trough a guide I found trough putting some files on my SD card and installing from there?
You know what tutorial I mean? Have you tried this?
No, haven`t seen it!
I was wondering, what happens if I install both TWRP and CWM recovery?

Some custom roms can be updatet sort of like your asking!
But you should make a habbit of always clean install custom roms, this way you get into troubles less often and the stability will often be better,,

It's great to read this, inthe future with this situations follow the advice of chr15j it's good to!
i did a few ICS roms as well but went back to GB, am now on >> PhonandroidRom v1.0- Siyah Kernel -Based MIUI. Pretty stable for me...
this is completely unrelated and i'm an absolute nooblet but I just need a quick answer. I have this rom on my phone but I want to unroot and go back to stock. Am I right in thinking I can just flash a stock samsung gingerbread rom onto the device just using odin and it will unroot it and be fine? Just want to check before I steam ahead and because this is an ICS rom.
Thanks guys.

Yes, you may need to go back to a suitable kernel also. Using Odin should be very easy.
hello
I tried all the roms remis since 8.5
i find remix 9.4 verry good .the main problem is about chainfire kernel which has to be more developped
for ICS roms, I don't find kernels like Siyah or nymphetamine which are good with GB
now we must wait a new version of XXLPH rom
I tried yesterday Remix 9.5 but too much bugs with CWM and I went back to R 9.4
I tried others roms than Remix (omega,Criskelo,CM9,Foxhound) ,I found Foxhound 0.3 good but still more buggy than R9.4 ( cannot synchronize contacts with outlook)
br46
SGS2 with remix 9.4
Well, not only the chainfire kernel has to be more developed, but also all the custom ones...
i especially miss a perfect working siyah and neak one on ics!
hoping the devs are on it already! ^^
Try :Resurrection Remix ics v1.0, it should be out any moment now.....
Hey I luckily got my hands on 9100 and not the 9100g. As there are too many roms I got confused on which one to flash. I downloaded miui ics version and flashed it via CWM it got stuck on boot logo. I had a nandroid so I just restored it back
The phone is on 2.3.6 so can I directly flash ics roms via CWM? It's rooted. I like cyanogen but I have heard its got bad camera app. Can someone guide me to the best roms and also to some must have apps for a rooted phone. SGS2 is my first REAL android experience.
And also the phone runs real hot.
PS : I have used search button.
Hang on to your stock for a week, then Westcrips 1.2 (4.04) gets released.. use the time in between talking on your stock phone, and reading up the 1900 pages on that rom
There is no perfect or right ROM.you have to test what fits you best.
Try different ROMs and kernels and you will find your personal perfect ROM.
I tried many different GB and ics roms and my personal favourite is Turkbey ROM v37 SE.
Very stable, fast and awesome looking

So, using that search button, you must have found the dozens of posts saying that going from GB to ICS ROMs, if you're stuck in boot logo or boot looping, then to try a full wipe, right???
Maybe not.

I would say go Cynaogenmod their ics rom is running very stable, but it is a matter of personal taste, but as a first time custom rom i would stick with Cynagonmod. You can find the latest release here. As for flashing roms while on 2.3.6 will be fine, just make sure you do a nandroid backup and do a data wipe, cashe wipe befeor flashing as this will cause bootloop.
I can recommend hydrogen-ics with latest siyah kernel because it is my current setup
If you are new to rooting and flashing roms then i would recomend get more experience before flashing a custom kernel. Although i do use siyah kernel and it's wicked, so if you do venture into kernels as well i would recomend Siyah kernel the same as gent.xda
stay on ur stock rom ,untill u kno ur phone well an read xda too,an abt roms there is no perfect rom (define perfect)i don think anything is perfect///////well as for roms spikes,omega,ics remix,hydrogen are good ,cm9 is always updating but if ur a teck geek miui ,cm9 is it...........cheeeerz

There is no best ROM it's like everything in life depends on the needs...
Read / backup / Flash and return to back up if needed
Since this is a discussion and not "plz can i haz the best ROM"
Post what rom you're on and the reason for it!

Hi, I successfully flashed my T-mobile Vibrant about twelve months ago to a custom 2.2 Froyo rom (Trigger 3.2 Final). It's a great rom and EVERYTHING works. However lately I've read rave things said about newer roms such as ICS passion. It's been a while and I'm still a noobie at this so my question is:
What is the easiest way to get to ICS passion from my current custom Froyo rom ? Thanks ~ Chris
hi,
Its very easy to get ICS running on your vibe. There may be various ways to proceed. I ll give you what I did (AFTER failing for 5-6 times )
Odin back to stock (It may be not necessary. But I started from the beginning which is better AFAIK )
Then stored ICS ROM (ICZen which in my case) and update.zip (CWM) on internal SD
then flashed GB Bootloaders (It also may/ may not necessary. But I did it b/c I already had many failed attempts)
Then flashed CM7 first
After that flashed ICS on top of it
Worked at last for me
NOTE: Please read relevant instructions provided by ROMs b/c flashing one may differ from flashing another.
You can find more information if you run into problems in my thread [SOLVED]Cannot install ICS ROM--please HELP

You may just want to read this before flashing ICS. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580902

^^^ Truth
And I would suggest staying away from Passion. It is based on 4.0.3 and there was a pretty significant code upgread when ICS went to 4.0.4.
IIRC, Passion is the last ROM that still uses 4.0.3 and is probably why it is dead now (but for some reason lives in infamy on YouTube and Google Search).
Haarsh's way works just fine but here is another method as another option too.
Thanks
Thanks for the replies. This is why I subscribed to the forum.
mmm... I see a few pitfalls ahead.
Background info from me is that I can't use Odin on my Linux computer. Never really got into Heimdall. I flashed my first rom by downloading the rom zip file and put it on my phone's internal sd card then let clockwork do the rest, ie nandroid backup and flash the rom from the update zip. I'd like to do the same again.
Ok, it's my understanding that anything above 2.2 needs the GB bootloader so the first step is to install that over my Trigger rom. I think Trigger would still run with the GB bootloader at that stage. Next download an update zip of a rom of my choice, put it on my phone's sd, then flash it with Clockwork.
Seems to me that should work or am I missing something I wonder ?
You can flash the GB bootloader. Its backward compatible so it will work with any ROM currently available.
Download the .zip of the ROM you want, and any Gapps if applicable. Then just follow the instructions on page 1 of the ROM (OP).
The usual would be Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Clear Cache, Clear Dalvik. Flash ROM, flash Gapps, restart. The instructions will tell you all you need to know.
If something goes wrong, give us a shout. That's what we're here for.
help me plz
hi mate i know this is quite outdated maybe but im searching for Samsung T959 stock rom Froyo 2.2 that i search everywhere but didnt find. Can you help me for any link ?

Hello people. I think the title says it all.
I want a quick tutorial to know how to install a custom ROM on my XT910 without using Safestrap. I dont like the 3GB storage at all.
Also, I would like to know wich is the best ROM for a noob user like me. I mean, I root and nothing else, then I download APKs or from Google Play. That's all.
Thanks!
You need either Safestrap or BMM to flash a custom ROM.
Not sure what you mean by 3GB storage.
Also, don't ask for best ROM. Its against XDA rules.

You can't flash a custom rom without custom recovery like Safestrap or Boot Menu Manager.
About the storage,you can flash the rom on stock slot but I recommend that you flash the rom on second partition,try it and if everything is ok then you flash it on stock.
This 4.4 Kitkat roms are pretty good,I had the best battery time with Liquidsmooth 03/11 build and it's smooth and fast.

Sorry, I think I said it in the wrong way. I want to delete the stock ROM so the one I download has the 8GB for storage.
I dont want 2 ROMs, i want one that replaces the stock one.
So to do this I need to flash the rom on stock slot?
Also, wich do you think is a nice gapp to have with LS + JBX? I think slim minimal gapps but i would like to hear your answer.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
EDIT: I have just downloaded the last Liquidsmooth ROM named "LS-KK-v3.2-2014-07-19-umts_spyder". Would you recommend me to use JBX Kernel with this ROM? Or just the ROM and not changing anything? I want the best battery time and also a fast and smooth phone, so you tell me.
I'm currently using Revolution HD V52 (4.3) on my rooted s3, TWRP recovery, boeffla's kernel. used to be on 4.4 before it as well.
I plan to go back to omega V50.1 rom, which is based on 4.1.2. but before i do, can i make a downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.2? will do a full wipe of Course & fresh install. I'm worried about EFS problems etc...anyone have an idea if it's safe or not possible and will brick phone?
Provided the rom base is EMG4 or later then efs is same version.
Backup efs then format internal sd card and preload as well as your normal wipe.

I don't know what it's based on to be honest, don't know how to check this.
this is the current rom's official page.
& here's the official page for the new rom i want (v50.1).
also, I'm currently using boeffla's kernel for 4.3. when i make full wipe and install the new rom, it will be back to stock kernel? i think it does, just want to be sure (forgot).
i second the question. S3 gained little-to-nothing with the 4.3 update, so i want to roll back to 4.1.2 too

you can backup the efs, I myself never had any problems with upgrading or downgrading.
you can follow the following tutorial to backup the efs, in case something does go wrong

from my experience, 4.1.2 was very stable, worked great, no bugs, no lags.
4.3 buggy as hell
4.4 just doesn't feel right in general, something always isn't working, camera is crap etc...
from 1 days experience on 4.1.2, I'm happy i downgraded. it isn't the fastest or shiniest, but it's stable and everything is working just fine, good enough for me.

Have you tried Archi 1x ROM? Rock solid and stable as anything. Ive been using it for nearly a year now and not had any issues. give a try before going back to 4.1.2...you wont be disappointed. lots of option in Aroma to personalize the ROM to your needs.
