Hey i'm somewhat new. I apologize if this has already been discussed, i did a search first...didn't find what i was looking for.
I have the galaxy sgh-i777. Just wondering if anybody knows if a version of cyanfox is available with android 4.4.2 for the i777? i've tried to flash the version i found onto my phone and everything works perfect except the phone calls, but i love the ROM and would like to know if anybody made it work on the i777.
Thanks!
Are you talking about porting the i9100 version? I haven't tried it, but a quick glance at the OP over there made no mention of phone issues, so I'm "guessing" it's something you did or didn't do when you flashed. One thing the OP states is you must use their gapp package, not the various others floating around. Did you install Cyan's? Also, check which modem you have; AOSP-based roms don't generally flash modems, but it's a good place to start.

About 4 months ago I installed a Rom to my girlfriends vibrant and it has been AWESOME compared to the stock touchwiz and compared to any of the roms I ever installed(tried all of them) for my HD2 and the few roms I have tried on my new-to-me Fascinate. The ROM just feels so cushy smooth, scrolling,resizing ect touch commands are almost iPhone-like and the stock UI has perfect icons, colors ect. I just can't say enough good things about this phone now.
I lost the original thread I got the rom from. The build shows "Simply Honey 3.5 Revolution by SGT" but I believe it's been ported from the i9000 as I had to flash a i9000 bootloader that I assume has been modified for the vibrant.
Is there any way I can get this rom onto my Fascinate? It seems hard to believe others aren't aware of this rom but a search for "simply honey" in the fascinate section and sub sections has returns zero results.
If you don't see it in the Dev forum, it's not available for the Fascinate.
The hardware on the SGS line is different enough (particularly between GSM and CDMA variants) among carriers that flashing a ROM from a different carrier is a fast track to bricksville.
Your best bet, if you REALLY want a particular ROM is to get the sources from the developer of that ROM and start working on your own version (porting it, as it were), or convince the dev to start working on a Fascinate version of it.
Also: Never ever ever flash a GSM ROM onto a CDMA phone. If it works at all, you'll be flashing all the way back to DL09 (and probably repartitioning, as well) to get back to square one.

As I said, it's not mentioned in any of the sub forums according to the search and nowhere on my google search either so I realize it's probably not available but I posted hoping someone would post with information directly relating to experience with the ROM and maybe developer inside info or information to another ROM with similar refinement.
i bought a samsung galaxy s2 just day before yesterday and i'm already in love! however, i'm having a hard time completely wrapping my head around the way this part of XDA works. i used to have an sl i9003, things were...simpler there. just a few doubts:
i see different custom roms using different stock roms as base (of course), but in the installation guides, none of them instruct you to flash the base rom first. for example, VillainROM 3.0 has KI3 as base, but it doesn't mention in the installation guide that i should have KI3 first (just put the zip in the sd card and flash in CWM). is having KI3 something i should know instinctively or can i just flash these exactly according to the instructions (i have JPKH1, which android 2.3.3, by the way)?
ditto for mods, themes, etc. except there, people often don't even mention what rom they were made for. so does that mean they'll work with any rom?
and finally, i was looking at cyanogenmod yesterday (i'll wait for the next stable release; until then, looking forward to flashing VillainROM) and one really helpful person told me that it would only work with the old bootloader. for my own convenience, how can i see what bootloader a rom has?
don't think of me as a noob, btw. like i said, i used to do all this stuff on the i9003 all the time. it's just that S2 devs seem to operate on a different wavelength
1. Once you are rooted, just go ahead and install the rom through cwm. It will take care of it's own base.
2. Rom's have different base's and some are deodexed and some not, so check before applying themes/tweaks as they will not all work on your chosen rom.
3. I don't think your friend knows a lot about CM. Just flash through cwm and make sure you are using a cm recommended kernel.
thanks! really appreciate it

Just got a P503 that I'm trying to set up for my girlfriend. I know how to use KDZ update and LGMDP. I got a custom recovery on it. I understand the difference between the basebands.
The problem is I can't make any sense out of the Development section. Also, a lot of the links are down (multiupload and megaupload).
This thread: [ROMS] Original LG Firmware list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865479, doesn't seem to work. I also have the the "Original LG Firmware" download tool, don't remember which thread I got it from, which is supposed to download the latest firmware for the phone. It downloads a V10K_00.kdz. I thought all of the firmwares were V20 by now, or am I wrong?
I'm looking for either 1) latest stock rom, preferably with Chinese language (she's Chinese), also can be slightly modified, maybe over-clockable, or 2) good stable gingerbread based MIUI rom. Can someone help me out?
If you know of another rom that is either as stable as stock, or more stable, and has an extremely easy to use interface, also please let me know. After I give the phone to my girlfriend, I don't want her calling me everyday with problems because of the phone.
Also, as far as I can tell, the P500 and P503 are the same phone with different firmware right? Any firmware compatible with the P500 can be used on the P503. I even saw a few threads where people mentioned LG customer support said this.
Dynamite
Try dynamite.. It's there in the O1 development section. It is based on the stock ROM. I've personally tried it, it's really good and I switched to other ROMs only because I missed the customisation that CyanogenMod offers...
take a look at this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1616069
it's has the iOS user interface (and i think that this one IS extremely easy to use interface),based on CyanogenMod nightly and it available in Chinese....
Now it's up to you to see if it is stable enough to your girlfriend
I looked at and installed the JoyOS. It's nice, got a lot of great features. But it just doesn't feel as awesome as the MIUI on my U8800. It might be a difference in the phone, or it might be the Chinese apps I'm installing with it for my girlfriend, or it might be the OS. Not sure. I'll try Dynamite tomorrow.
However, if anyone knows of a really stable MIUI rom, please let me know. The ones I've seen have problems with apps installed to the SD card.
Hi,
I have purchased an International S3 and am going to use it on AT&T. I have read through the forums and feel pretty confident about rooting my phone. My question(s) is:
1. Do I need to flash a new ROM to make the most out of AT&T's network, or will the stock ROM work just fine?
2. If its recommended to use a custom ROM which should I use for best compatibility with AT&T? If I must use custom I would like one as close to stock as possible.
Thank you for any/all replies.

ATT OMEGA 7.0 phone won't turn on anymore
I tried to load Omega 7.0 on my ATT S3 and everything went well until the reboot part. The screen went black and my phone isn't able to turn on now. Any advise would be great. Thanks
Sounds like you have the US version
Sounds like you have the US version, I have the international version but thanks for the info either way.
Anyone have any advice for the best radio for use on AT&T on the I9300? I'm on the latest official stock build taking only OTAs so far, but my signal strength seems worse on this phone than others I've used in the past. (Figured I'd check before I start flashing/testing for a few days)
thread closed. choosing roms is a personal thing. what is best for one person (and phone) may not be best for someone else. the best advice is to try a few.
I've just started using CM9 again haven been on stock Samsung ROMs for most of my S3 usage. I remember seeing something on Twitter about custom ROMs now supporting OTA In Android and assumed that CM9 would be one of the first ROMs to use it. I don't see I anywhere though. Is it not built into the latest Cyanogenmod ROMs out of the box (as it were)?
If not, why not? I would have expected every custom ROM to have this as part of their package. I love OTA updates and having them in a custom ROM will make the experience seem so much more professional.
Just intrigued, chaps. It's not the end of the world but I was kind of expecting to see it. I tried downloading what appears to be the official app but when I try to install it it says that the developer hasn't added support for it. Which I suppose does answer my question but doesn't provide a reason!
Thanks anyway.
