Hi there, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I thought I would ask about this instead of trying and possibly bricking my phone.
I'm a semi-experienced Android user. Sometimes the terminology confuses me but I'll get use to it.
Basically, I want to install the latest KK 4.4 Avatar ROM on my i9300. I'm confused to as what files I need? I see people talking about making sure you flash the proper gapps etc?
I'm currently using Googy-Max2 Kernel 2.1.4 on Android Revolution HD SGS3 40.0. Can anyone direct me to the right files needed? Many thanks. I'm sure I'll be sticking around on these forums.

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. :crying: 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!
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
Hey XDA guyz need your expertise , I have rooted my S2 GTI9100 phone and now running siyah kernel.
Can someone please provide me the link to download the below listed JELLY BEAN ROMs. I'm too scary of bricking my phone by running corrupted file.
And Do I need to change my kernel to Install these Roms?
1. Paranoid Android 3
2. Neat ROM
3. Wanamlite Cleant& Fas
4. Resurrection Remix
5. Vanilla Rootbox
Provide you with links to those roms when you're more than capable of finding them yourself ? Absolutely not. What did your last slave die of ? Go look in the development sections or do a search :-/
To flash any rom or kernel, follow the instructions for flashing that rom or kernel which are always found on the first page of the development thread for the rom/kernel and/or the discussion thread of same.
If you're scared of bricking your phone, leave it stock & enjoy it. Every time you flash anything you run the (normally very small if you follow instructions/learn before you do) risk of breaking your phone. That risk increases depending on how lazy, unable/unwilling to learn & careless you are. In other words, it all depends on you.
No one is here to spoon feed.
Use logical thinking and search for them.
And don't worry, finding corrupted files of ROM's is highly unlikely

I'm sure this has been asked but I just wanted to verify I had my information correct, I have rooted and put custom roms on a gs3 in the past so I have little experience but don't want to brick my gs4 and it seems it may be a slightly difference process.
Essentially I want to get CM10 on my Verizon GS4
I found these root directions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798
They seem pretty straight forward. I would assume I follow these directions and install TWRP or clockwork mod after its rooted then just flash my roms, however I saw something about Loki on another thread and getting around the bootloader. Do I have to do anything special involving that or once I am rooted can I just install the custom recovery from the app store and start installing roms...
Also how do I check if I have the update that just came out that prevents flashing roms.
Sorry if this was asked but I didn't see my specific question anywhere and I would really appreciate the help.
Also would you recommend going with the google edition or CM10?

Im fairly certain TWRP is pre-loki'd now, so you wont have to worry about it.
In about phone, look under baseband version, If it doesn't say i545VRUAMDK then you have the new update that isnt rootable yet.
And for your last question, i havent tried either of them yet (I'm on hyperdrive).
Hi all,
A few newbie queries, if anyone will indulge me please?
I've just got an S3 international verison, having had various Nexus's and HTCs in the past, which I've rooted & used custom roms on. I got this s3, rooted it, then started looking for roms, but i'm a bit lost. It's tricky when you're new to a model of phone and have to re-learn the root nuances.
One of the apps I need is ARLibertator (for pionieer's appradio) which doesn't play nice with any ASOP roms, so I presume I'm going to be stuck with stock.
So far, I've rooted, but haven't updated from mb5>mg4. I've backed up the factory state with a clockwork mod backup and i've done a dump of the EFS using K tool.
Can I update from mb5 > mg4 without any issue using KIES, or do I need to be careful about the change it makes to the EFS?
Also, if i decide not to bother trying to use ARLiberator, am I good to try Cyanogen or similar now, or have I missed any steps or done the wrong thing?
There are stock based custom roms .
Kies will remove root .
Thanks - when you say 'remove' - perfectly safe to re-root the same way again after the update?
Also, what terminology would I need to search for for Roms based on stock - something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334
Thanks for the help - really appreciate it.

Mostly Samsung based roms but not all of them

Yep as jje linked "android development" is mainly samsung based roms where as aosp are mainly in "original android development" as they're original, not reworks if existing work.
There are some aosp roms in "android development" as they are unofficial cm builds for example.
Samsung rom threads usually have the samsung build number in the thread title, eg XXEMG4

Hey guys
I am using this ROM on my S2 (Intl.) and yeah it has some bugs, but thats okay, but today i saw in the CM download section that there is CM11 available for the S2, butonly for the T-Mobile version.
So my question is, whether I can flash the T-Mobile version or if that would brick my phone. And if I can't, can I flash ROMs from the Note 2 for example? I have one S2 in use and one only for testing ROMs, so i could copy a stable S2 ROM on my sd and then copy the CM11 T-Mobile, too. Then I'll flash the T-Mobile ROM and if that wouldn't work i can boot in recovery, clear all data and flash the stable version? Or is thisimpossible and I am just a silly dude?
thanks for answering
Merry Christmas!
Do not flash non-I9100 firmware on the I9100, yes, there's a fair chance you'll brick your phone if you do.
I suggest you learn 'the basics' given your question (read the guides/tutorials stickied in the General section for starters), 'messing' with your phone in any way (particularly if it involves flashing, even with CWM) is risky without knowing them.
no no I know the basics including that you should not flash not appropriate firmwares, it was just a question, but okay, I understood, so I#ll keep waiting until an official version of CM11 for the normal S2 will be uploaded

Exactly. I know it seems a madness that the Galaxy S2 has not yet been updated (it is enough to think that the Galaxy S already has the CM11), but more of install the CM11 not journal cannot we do.
P. S: Merry Christmas
