Hi there people.
I won a rooted NOTE 2 which I got when the note was just released.
It is SCH-I605 and it has Android 4.1.1 with a Jelly Ben's build 7 bybeanstown106
I'm currently looking for a better ROM and simple instructions to install it.
I want the camera to work, of course, and I think it's time to get kit kat, but I"m not sure if such rom is available.
Plrase help me ...
Thanks

I run Slimkat which is a very stable, awesome Kitkat ROM. Been on it since early December. I was on Beans for months and it was great, but wanted to go Kitkat. Slimkat is very stable and it flies. Check out the thread in the Android Development thread. Download and installation instructions are clear.
All the roms are good, members are expected to try them all and make their own determinations as to what is best.
As XDA is not a support site, members are encouraged to read and review all material in the development sections to learn about which rom suits them.

Hey Guys,
I'm considering buying the Xiaomi Mi2 phone but I couldn't find anywhere else on any details whether it can be rooted and if there are any developers for it (considering my difficulty in finding in it, i have a feeling there is little developer support).
Hoping to use CM10 or any stock jellybean roms and the specs of the phone are quite impressive considering it's incredibly cheap price tag.
Thank You.
xiaomi makes a stock jb rom for mi2 so you can use that. Here in xda you wont see much development for this phone since kernel sources are not open source. I highly doubt that anytime soon we will see any CM roms for this phone. The stable roms are not rooted but if you flash the "development" roms or something from miuiandroid or any other unofficial rom it will have root access.
There is already a thread related to your device.

Sorry for opening another thread, but I couldn't find the answer to what I wanted in the other ones. They were about the phone in general.
I have the first Galaxy Note (Canadian version) that I got from Bell, with the model number SGH-i717M. I've been looking to get KitKat or Jellybean on it but from what ive researched I haven't had any luck. I heard that Samsung had a Jellybean update for the Galaxy Note but I'm not a huge fan of Touchwiz, I really like stock android or something close to stock android like Cyanogenmod. So does anyone know of any KitKat or Jelly Bean ROMS for the SGH-i717M? Any help is much appreciated!
Thread moved. Please post questions in the Q&A forums.
Thank you.

In case you havent helped yourself by this point, there is a CM11 weekly build in the General forums, or you can look in the Super Everything Thread. Some links are down in the Super thread, but folk are here to help and may have the file for you. However, only you can decide what you want. Roms are a give and take. Its not Burger King. Take some for a test drive and f8nd what suuts your needs.
Let us know

Ok thanks, I do like CM11 and went and got that. I didnt know there was a CM11 for quincyatt because there isnt one over at the official download page (unless im making a stupid mistake). Thanks for your help!

There will be no 4.4 official stock for galaxy s3, never, ever.
If you need 4.4.4 like CM go to cyanogenmod site and follow the steps (easy peasy installation).
It's true, that iam a newbie in Android's world.
I own samsung s3 since 2 months & it's my first android experience.
That's why i need a little explanation
why official stock rom for version 4.4.4. isn't available for our phones.
When Win XP has arrived , it was for all PCs, isn't it ?

That is samsungs decision, after some time they stop the development for the phone, and it's been 2 years now with s3, from ics to jelly bean, and the time has come and development is stopped.
But, you have samsung kitkat ports here on xda under android development, but, since they are unofficial there might be some bugs if you don't pair them with a good kernel.
Since you are new, i suggest you to take a break and read, read all the FAQ, read every info, read about EFS backup (very important) and then, when you have all the information you need, go with rom flashing etc.
And listen to me, if you won't read and inform yourself you will mess something up and come back here to ask for help, and first response you will get is read before doing anything.
Happy readin, flashing, cheers
In this case here is my next question
On the horizon appears the next version - Android 5.0
If i understand correctly, that means once again Android x.x will not be made available for our phones and we will need to get again some custom roms, aren't we ?
Can anyone recommend a solid rom for this Note II that is solid stable with good performance?
I realize there are many. I am an experienced romer but have just acquired this for a family member and need to fully root, rom and restore.
Any guidance appreciated. I think it is stock 4.4.2 as acquired right now.
I haven't found a KK 4.4.x ROM yet that doesn't have issues. There are several 4.3 ROM's however that are rock solid...I recommend either the Jett or Jelly-Wiz ROM's but many of the others have great reviews.

Thank you. For these persons, I don't want issues. Thank you for the recommendations. Have you tried CM at all? I also thought about keeping Samsung's 4.4.2 and just rooting it and using Wanam.
No, I haven't tried CM since my Galaxy Nexus days. I never went beyond the stock 4.3 ROM as I'm rooted and unlocked...looking at the rooted stock 4.4.2 there seems to be issues with it too, at least that's what I'm reading in those threads. I tried about four different KK ROM's and they all had issues with the camera, reboots, and other nagging issues. After trying the 4.4.x ROM's I went back to the 4.3 Jett ROM because it really had all or most of the features I wanted and it's rock solid with good battery life. I have no experience with Wanam. Good luck.

Yikes, I better read. Perhaps I should have read before just purchasing these two used. I sure hope I can still root and unlock them. I appreciate the tips.
I'm pretty sure if they're on the stock OTA 4.4.2 then your bootloader is now locked...not sure if anyone ever found a work around. I think you can still quasi-root it, through some other method (Ghetto Root?). Read the developer forums below...lots of info there.

If they are using the OTA verison they can root with ghettoroot and then use safestrap to flash new ROMs. The only catch is that the ROMs have to be based on the stock kernel, so no AOSP or anything fancy. I am not sure if the ROM has to match the system kernel's version, so you may want to check, unless somebody knows???
You can find the instructions here: Safestrap on locked bootloader 4.4.2 ND7
This is, of course assuming that you have the locked bootloader in the first place.
As for a solid ROM for safestrap recovery I have been trying out quite a few, and I like Alliance, as well as Sophisticated ROM Remix. Not too shabby, although I did have some lag issues with Alliance.
I am on stock 4.4.2 so that means a locked bootloader. Uggg.
Okay...off to ghettoroot. What was the last OS that was bootloader unlockab.e?
Any other ND7 roms I should look at?
Can someone point me with links to the roms that work with safe strap 3.72 and a locked ND7 boat loader?
I am confused. Can a person run Trent's 4.4.2 rom on an ND7 device?
Thank you in advanced.
I apologize if I am not posting this in the right location. It has been a while since I posted here on these boards.
Just last week I rooted my OF1 Verizon S4, installed FlashFire, and flashed the Stang5litre ROM to my phone.
Everything works great... However I have always loved the Cyanogenmod Roms and would really like to flash this Rom to my phone.
Can anyone provide some insight as to How I would go about doing so?
Thanks in advance for the help.

If you are not on a MDK bootloader, forget about AOSP or CM roms.
For those on OF1, the best thing you can do is check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/development/stang5litre-ediition-5-0-t3132555
Stang has developed a GREAT TWZ Lollipop ROM that is stripped of all the bloat and crapware, removed the gaudy red Verizon boo screen, and has really breathed new life into our S4's.
His current version is 3 which is based on the TWZ S5 (or is S6.) I run his Version 2 only because I'm a minimalist and feel V2 is as close to AOSP for those of us on OF1 as we'll ever get!
