I am about to flash my galaxy nexus to convert it to yajku, but for that i need to be sure if phone is running stock rom, and i don't know any way to determine if it is on CUSTOM or STOCK. Can anyone please help me how to check for CUSTOM or STOCK.
Thanks
simply
simply go to settings and the about section of your phone and you would know.....most custom roms have a specific signature.... for example it will say neox rom or paranoid rom ...............stock roms just simply have the android version your running and version numbers........hope this helps

If software number is 4.16.401.10
can't anyone upload a custom rom with that signature?
For my samsung galaxy S4 you go into settings>more>about device>status>and on device status it should tell you if you are on official or custom. If you are on custom you are likely to be using some kind of different ROM. I had custom on 4.4.2 when I rooted but when I upgraded via Odin I got official.

Hello all,
I am a super newbee in this field ( please dont laugh ) ! I apologise if i have failed to see the solution for my queries in other threads
I own a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 with the following config:
Android version : 4.0.3
Baseband Version : I9100DDLPA
Kernel Version : 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913 [email protected]#3
Build number : IML74K.XWLP7
I have already rooted the device with the help of posts on xda. I aspire to put a custom ROM of Jelly Bean in my phone. I have certain questions abt it.
1. Can someone suggest me an apt choice of ROM to suit my current build?
2. will i be able to come back to my stock firmware incase of any problem with the custom ROM. If yes, how ?
3. can i partition my ROM and have to Androids running ? Custom ICS and JellyBean ?
Please help. Thanks in advance.
JB ROMs are still in development stages and need some time to get fully baked.
If you want to try one CM is great.
And you can return back to ICS anytime.
To dual boot JB and ICS you need to flash Siyah kernel.
I would suggest you to flash (install) CM9 for few days. Bcoz its better to be using known stable build for regular use. You will get an idea of what to expect of AOSP ROMS and what are their limitations.
Then you can plunge into exciting world of flashing nightlies (less stable) builds.
You can always go back to default samsung roms if CyanogenMod roms dont suite you. There are lot of custom Samsung rom based roms to choose from with very good customizations.
But before you do any flashing of rom, BACKUP YOUR CURRENT ROM.

Better flash Siyah first...

Hi,
I have my GS3 rooted, and its currently running a Custom ROM (FoxHound 0.7). What I want to do is move away from this and head back to the official Samsung stock ROM for extra stability.
I wasn't sure on:
a) Where to get the latest Jelly Bean releases for the UK i9300
b) How to go about flashing an official Stock ROM... Is it the same as flashing a Custom ROM, like through CWM??
c) Whether I will still be able to update OTA when new official update releases come out from Samsung?
Sorry for the questions but I've searched through a few threads and I can't seem to gather a definitive answer.
TIA

Can i know why did u root your GS3 in the first place if you planning to run stock rom.
Maybe try some custom roms which might gives you more benefit than stock rom.
Anyhow, if you still want to install stock rom, try finding it here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
Thanks. I'm downloading that now.
I rooted to try out different custom ROMS and also so that I could do things like hook up my PS3 control pad via Bluetooth but I've found the Custom ROMS I've tried (Foxhound, CM10, Omega, Paranoid Android, Resurrection Remix) all to be a bit flakey in different areas
This is the reason I want to go back to a Samsung Stock ROM, at least then I'll be on a completely stable platform and can still customise with a different launcher.
So do I flash this Samsung firmware in the normal way I would flash a Custom ROM?? Through ClockWorkMod recovery?? And will the official OTA updates still be available?

I found the easiest method to flash a stock ROM is MobildOdin till now as you directly can inject root (super user) and do not have to root later on again. Otherwise download your rom, and flash via Odin, after that flash again CF Root to get root.

U cant flash the firmware but u need to install it.
After that,you can receive ota updates as usual...
OK thanks guys. I'm not too fussed about Root again right away, so I presume I'm heading into ODIN to flash the official Samsung Firmware then?
I've downloaded the latest JB Leak for the International variant (i9300), however I've just been reading that you can flash/install the OFFICIAL POLAND JB FIRMWARE to the phone and just change the language settings? Don't suppose you know how true this is do you?

Don't get the leak, get the officially released version DLIB. The languages are built in and you can CSC change if you so wish.
Can I ask what CSC Change is?!
Also, presumably I'm just installing through ODIN?

An app to change CSC .

What I meant was... "What is CSC"
Is it some kind of Kernel/Radio??
CSC some specific settings in your country for network I think.You can change CSC for your country by this app but remember your device will be wiped.

yes, as said beforehand, CSC includes region specific settings whereas you can run the rom also without CSC (did this with CSC unknown for quite some time, to not get CSC unknown just flash the rom twice, to change the CSC you can use an app from the market designed to change CSCs easily).
Kernel/Radio is not included in the CSC, here you can flash, if you wish, any kernel suitable to your region of that gives you best reception.
Thanks all, looks like I'm up and running again with Stock.
Only thing in my SETTINGS then ABOUT PHONE then STATUS, my device status just says 'scanning'

Hi.
I have a quick question regarding loading a custom ROM onto my i9300. Do I have to load a new kernel with the ROM or can I use the stock 4.1.2 kernel that came with the device?
Thanks

Not really as long as the custom rom you'll be using is based on 4.1.2 you can either use a stock kernel or a custom one. However most custom rom developers recommend a custom kernel to be used since it provides better customization.
I'm currently running cyanogenmod on my S4, and I want to try out the 4.4.2 version of touchwiz when that becomes available for our phone, but I probably will want to go back to cyanogenmod afterward. So is there a way to do this without my phone being completely locked down upon installing touchwiz. For instance will using a custom rom based on Touchwiz made by someone else still lock down my bootloader and such?
Thanks in advance.

If you flash a custom rom then it should not; but if you make a OTA Update with the stock Touchwiz, then you will lose
Hope this helps

don't do ota and just wait for some developers to update their touchwiz based custom roms that runs 4.4.2 and install.
if you update the ota, you will lose the ability to get a custom recovery that works with aosp or cm.

That's what I was planning to do, I just wanted to make sure using a custom touchwiz rom wouldn't have the same result on my recovery that the ota would

No it wouldn't because the devs remove all the stock OTA options. Not that they'd take an OTA anyways cuz you'd be so far from stock anyways. The only updates you'd be getting would be directly from that roms devs only

Hi all, I've tried using the search function and looked through the similar threads. However, I am unable to find a thing about it. I was wondering, for my own device's safety, if I am able to flash a custom rom on baseband g900tuvu1gpe1 (if baseband matters). It's been a while since I've actually flashed any custom rom and have never flashed a custom rom on my tmo s5. Oh and I am using TWRP for recovery. Thank you!

I think you need to work on your search skills. There is a whole sub-forum for ROMs for the SM-900T:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/development
And, you can flash international ROMs for the phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5
There is a link in my sig for a Stock Rooted Deodex ROM, that I'm using.
