Your choice read the rom thread .

Hi, I am new here.
I have tried OMEGA ROM v45. It is a great ROM, however I encounter some issues.
1. Wifi direct is no longer working in my case.
2. Somehow my external SD card data is disrupted and asked me to format them, causing me to lost all my data. I am not sure whether this is because of the ROM or others.
3. My Go Weather application has an issue, when I try to reinstall them, it says that insufficient storage but my phone memory still got another 3GB left and that application is less than 70Mb.
4. Somehow my fonts are not working
Please advise whether you encounter this issue and how to solve them.
P.S. : Before installing this, I have already full wipe. in fact, I also try to reformat my storage
Thanks
Wipe phone and flash following the instructions .

as already on the same series, you need not wipe everything. if you have much patiency of installing apps again, you can wipe.

before I do recommend you make a backup (like titanium backup, rom toolbox, go backupt or other)
after the rom installed, recovery your backup apps (remember, that different system apks and/or settings would be different and can bring problems to new rom) - apps like gmail outlook need add the account to sync correctly with the servers. a tip is recover it first ... add the accounts ... test the sync ... and maybe recover just the apks data.
i really prefer a clean installation. full wipe, recover just apps ... to eliminate any doubt or "old garbages" ...
follow the instructions

Hey mate maybe you should read this post 1st before you delete something on your S2:

Here & also Stickies.
You're going to have to do a lot of reading/learning. There are no shortcuts, taking shortcuts & not reading/learning leads to bricked phones.
i still didn't get answer to my first question do i need to delete all data on my phone to flash a new ROM??
If your on stock rom then no you don't.
i don't have any rom flashed now, but i'm thinking of miui or cyanogen, do i need to wipe all data or cache for this roms??
Follow whatever instructions these roms have to the letter & you should be fine. It isn't a case of do X regardless of whatever rom you're installing. Some roms have specific instructions.
Yea but its better when you always make a full wipe everytime you change your rom to minimize FCs (errors) but dont forget to back up all your datas and apps

Thank you for helping me...
i9300 is the international phone, so yes.
The installled ROM, kernel and baseband are irrelevant if you want to change ROM.

Any recommendation stable and fast ROM for me?
Another question if I want to flash to OMEGA 7.0 ROM can I just simply flash from my phone setup now : IMM76D.I9300XXALF6? Because ROM OMEGA 7.0 they use Based on XXALF5...Should I downgrade to XXALF5 then flash rom to OMEGA 7.0 or I can straight away flash base on my current setup?
Still learning and learning and learning and learning....Please don't dont giveup teaching me...hehehe...
Read and follow directions of the Rom you choose. Make sure you do backup first then,if you don't like it you can go back or flash another. Runs are pretty subjective and cater for a variety of tastes so hard to recommend one. Most want super fast with best battery life but there is a trade off

You should always factory-reset when changing Rom's.
It thus doesn't matter what ROM and version you come from and go to.

I'm still running ALE8 with Siyahkernel. Works great after a few customizations and tweaks applied as found here in the forum. Most ROM's have trade-off's (e.g. they want to slim it down and remove libraries or features I consider worth it)
You won't see a real performance difference between Samsung-based ROM's.
Actually you _WILL_ see a difference at the beginning since your phone is then again factory-new without lots and lots of apps and background services.

Ok so i am noob with Samsung and dealing with flashing and all these stuff, i just switched from iPhone to Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, i have read so many posts and watched so many videos, all what i want is some clarification
1* I have managed to download CM 9.0.0 for my phone and installed it through ROM Manager , i have noticed that my Data service is not working, am living in Kuwait "Middle East" the wifi is working fine no issues and i enabled the Data Service through the settings, how can i fix the issues with the data plan although it is working fine after i restored to my stock ROM
2*Can u tell me what the use of the Odin except rooting and installing a stock Firmware ?
3* correct me if i am wrong but the ROM will only do some sort of interface for the phone , as we say in IT "GUI" of course not to forget to mention the speed and tweaks for hardware of the device it self, i mean it is not a complete OS "Firmware" mostly GUI with Tweaks.
4*While doing the installation of the ROM and remove it and getting back to my stock ROM , nothing from my data has been changed, does that means every time i install any ROM and get back to the old one my data will not be effected on the stock ROM?
5* what would happen if i tried to install a ROM not compatible with the firmware i have ? and how would i fix that ?
6*How can i tell if the ROM is compatible with the firmware i have? , for example in my case i downloaded CM 9.0.0 for my S3 which has 4.0.4 firmware
7* I have understand that the ROM must be compatible with my phone version , what i mean with version like International version or US carriers versions, am i Right?
Am sorry asking too many questions,I tried my best to make the questions with yes or no answer, and incase you would like to write more please do
answering me those questions will help me alot, i have been reading so many posts and it is making me go insane
Thanks so much in advance :angel:

1. try reboot

3............
4 all your data will be there unles you do a full wipe in recovery which is recomended before installing any ROM.
5 A ROM isnt specific to your firmware.If you have an international version which is GT I9300 Or GT I9300T any ROM from the I9300 threads will work. Dont flash anything made for the non international versions

Hey there,
I'm currently using a Galaxy S2, which is running stock Gingerbread 2.3.4 (no updates available through OTA nor Kies)
Baseband version: I9100XXKI1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4
And now I would like to get CM9 on my phone. Although I read quite a lot of threads and tutorials, I still have some
unanswered questions left.
Of course I would like to get onto CM9 in the fastest (and safest) way possible, but I'm not really sure how I would accomplish this.
Is it rather better (or even possible) to just go from 2.3.4 directly to CM9? Could I first root it using insecure kernel or CF-Root and then use CWM Recovery to flash CM9? And would this process actually flash all the necessary things, like the correct firmware, kernel and bootloader?
Or should I use Odin to flash it to stock ICS first and then just follow the official full update guide from the Cyanogenmod Wiki (because it is written with the requirement of stock ICS running on the phone) ?
Please help me out with this, I'm thankfull for every answer that I get :laugh:
Follow the noob-proof instructions on the first post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20841817 , and you can jump to cm9 from your current firmware, no need to go to stock ics first.

Just another question, as far as I understood it I don't need to root before applying the Resurrection Edition of CM9, right?

No. It already includes CWM recovery. After you flash it, boot to CWM and flash the last cm9 update + gapps, wipe data/cache and reboot.
Make sure you put the .zip files on your sdcard first
Great thanks!
This seems to be easy as it can get
Oh and just one more thing, should I do a backup of some sorts? Just a little bit unsure, because then I would have to root first, do a backup and then would be able to the whole CM9 thing (I don't know if the rooted kernel could somehow interfere with the Resurrection Edition later on)

Yeay, just flashed my phone and everything worked out smoothly and perfect, didn't have any problems at all
(I also didn't do a factory reset, is it necessary to that? Because right now there isn't any data left from before and I'm also not experiencing any problems whatsoever, so not really sure if I should do it and what it would do)
Thanks to everyone who posted here and helped me to finally flash my phone :good:

I'm not sure, but i think the NOOB proof method you used already wiped your data in the flashing process. So there is no need for you to do it again

Hi
Im new to rooting phones and have rooted my Samsung galaxy s3 GT-I9300. Im running 4.1.1 on it and rooted it using odin and CF-ROOT-SGS3-v6.tar.
Ive got CWM manager and superuser on it and have backed up my apps using titanium back up and backed up the rom using ROM manager.
What I want to know is can anyone recommend a ROM that is like the stock one but with added features such as multi window and takes away a lot off the added Samsung stuff thats not really needed and also runs smooth without eating up too much battery?
Can I just update my kernel or do I need to install a custom ROM?
Can I install the new ROM using ROM manager?
Do I need to move any backed up apps and current rom off the phones memory to an external SD card before installing a custom rom?
Do I need to take into account the Baseband version (mine is I9300XXELJ2) when looking what roms I can install or does it simply have to be for the S3 I9300?
Sorry if my questions seem a bit daft or if Ive not given enough information. Im new to all this and want a custom rom that will hopefully offer a bit more than the standard one but dont want to brick my phone
Thanks in advanced.

I would recommend sotmax ROM or android revolution ROM which is both close to stock ROM and my favorites. But you have to try for yourself to know.
You can use custom kernel after rooting. But read the op to see if compatible.
ROM manager can install ROMs but only with the premium version if I'm not mistaken. Alternatively just use cwm to flash. Fast and easy.
Backup apps depends on what you using. Titanium backup? Usually backed up apps are safely stored. And can restore in any ROM after flashing.
Baseband usually will be along with custom ROM.
All in all if you read the op in first post of each thread and follow steps. Bricking is usually a non issue. But as always make a full backup before flashing.
Happy flashing

No need to move the backups anywhere unless you're gonna wipe your internal SD.
Baseband doesn't matter, just flash anything for the i9300.
And don't ask for best ROMs, it's against the rules

So does the baseband in the rom have to match the one on my phone or can I install any rom and my baseband will just change and all will be fine?
This is going to seem stupid but what do you mean by op?
To install or flash a rom using CWM do I just click recovery mode in the app and continue from there?
Thanks for the quick response,
first, read the basic guides.
op means the first post

You can't have Samsung features on an AOSP (aka stock Android) based ROM. Its integrated into Samsung ROMs.
For best of both world's you can dual boot two ROMs using Siyah kernel 1.8.9 eg. A Samsung ROM (ex: stock) and an AOSP based one (ex: CM10.1)
Before experimenting copy backups to an external SD card or your PC.
