Friends got this phone and hes tired of waiting for ICS. I told him id put a custom rom on there, but i want to make sure its stable because i dont want him to have many bugs.
Which ROM should i go with? Im guessing he would probably prefer a samsung based rom over a AOSP rom.
Your title of the thread and your question posted do not match. If you want the most stock and stable ROM then here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731382
If you want something else then 10 users will give you 10 different recomendations. Then they will say its great and pefect but blahblah don't work and the ROM will only FC a few times daily.
Link to the stock ROM above should be the way to go unless you and your friend want to sit down and do some reading on your own.
Too much of a noob to post to the forum where I want to but still...
I am running Omega V33.2 with Siyah kernel1.7
I was able to install Kalagas ICS like theme without problem but the Kalagas dialler didn´t work.
However, the dialler and circle battery theme both installed fine on my second ROM. The strange thing is, that my second ROM was a clone of the first ROM. So, after I confirmed that they still wouldn´t work on the first ROM, I cloned it again, installed the themes on the second ROM and then swapped them over. This all worked fine.
To me this suggests that there is a difference in the second ROM that Siyah creates and I thought it could be rather important to know what that is.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Hi all,
Until recently I have been having very unstable results with my SGS2 (gt-i9100), every time the phone would freeze, overheat, use most of the battery in 2 seconds (figuratively speaking that is) or rebooting itself.
Some people on this forum told me to try a different kernel or roms, something I did and well no real improvement, I tried combinations of ressurection remix, omega and kernels such as siyah and dorimanx (I tried more but these are the ones I still remember by name)
Luckily (or unfortunately) I love my phone and android so I didn't really want to change hardware.
Couple of weeks ago, I figured that maybe I should try yet another rom and... SUCCESS!!
Ever since flashing AOKP milestone 1 everything is the way it should be (well to be honest first thing I always do when getting a new phone is rooting it and getting a new rom, so I am not sure how "normal" out of the box operating of an android is :silly
So basically my question to you is:
does the instability have anything to do with the kernel? currently using 3.0.31-cm-00008 (which incidentally, is that CyanogenMod?)
if it is related to the kernel, anyone has any suggestions to make dorimanx/siyah work (as they seem to be pretty popular here on xda, I'm guessing it has more to do with me)
and less kernel related, if a rom is AOKP based (or CM or whatever), does that mean that this rom has all the bugs from the base + the things the specific rom has?
Thanks!

1. May or may not be, usually it's kernel related, yeah that is the usual kernel made for CyanogenMod
2. The latest dorimanx does work fine with xwlsn and so does the latest siyah for xwlss.
3. An AOKP rom has different frameworks and usually is more buggier than stock rom, because of closed source codes (blame Samsung) several features are disabled or improperly functioning.

Sorry to post this question fellow members, I've been looking for several days without any luck. I was gonna post this quetion in the ROM thread, but thought it was the wrong place.
Currently running LiquidSmooth 4.4.4 on a Verizon LG-VS895 and just NOW noticed the stock camera was gone. I was wondering how to port the stock files back into this rom. I really miss the gimmicky stuff (like magic focus) and was wondering how to eliminate the camera that comes with this rom and revert to the stock camera.
I downloaded a stock rooted rom and tried seeing if i could move files over from it to my phone, but I'm unsure of where to start. Sorry in advance if this has been posted or if I'm a stupid newb, but this is driving me bananas.
I tried flashing camera mod hoping that would restore it, but that didn't work either. So, this question is based off of a fresh install of this rom.
Thanks
So as hectic as it was for me to find a perfect rom, for some reasons i couldnt find a lollipop one. i am currently using cm12.1+devil kernel (which is giving major FCs during installations of apk's and randoms for some reasons despite clean installs) as thats the only option i had other than dokdo that got discontinued and site/server everything is just down.
Can anyone please provide me file/link/mirror if possible?
i am to use s3 for next 2 weeks and i can really use a cm based lollipop rom, so if you're reading this and can, do leave a reply, thanks.
