Hi there
I'm pretty new with my alpha, cause before i've had only xperia devices (from xv till z3) and i dont have any experiences with flashing on samsung devices.
Anyway i'm going to my questions. Is there something like bootloader which i have to unlock before flashing any mode ? I've read something about g fix could you provide me a link. Do you have any suggestions what to flash i'm still on 4.4.4 and i think after my experinece with lp i'm not going to update soon ?. So do you know any good stock based rom with good battery life and such a good ported stuff?
Thank you for everything my lovely xda comunity. I apreciate every answer and help !!
PS: my model number is g850f

You dont need to unlock your bootloader like sony xperia.
Do you want 4.4.4 rom or lolipop rom ? I don't clear about it.

Hello,
3 weeks ago,I got a GT-19100G galaxy s2.Pretty happy with it,everything is great except for TW of course So I need advice at whether I should get the official ICS update when its released in march(also thinking about giving the LB leak a try) which will use TW as far as I know or root my phone and flash the CM9 and get andy's costum ICS.Andy's ICS looks pretty nice but I don't wanna root my phone specially that I never rooted any device before(my previous device was nokia n81 8gb LOL).Or maybe I should just wait for the official release and get some sort of ICS themes or something.I'm currently running Android 2.3.6 baseband I9100GDZKK1 and Kernel 2.6.35.7.So what ya think ?
root..flash CM9..after ICS offiaclly released..flash back stock rom and get OTA..easy right??
Would be easy if I knew what the hell is OTA
Edit:Oh,I googled it.Its over the air.Well,why would I root it if I will flash back stock ROM again in 2 weeks ?
Personal view would be wait for ICS then wait for the modders to mod the official release .

I was thinking about that too...I think I'll just do that But just to be on the safe side,is it completely safe to root my phone and install CM9 ? Bcuz my phone is new and if anything happened to it,I'll kill myself.
FYI, the i9100G is not the i9100, therefore ICS leaks and CM9 will not work in your phone. If you do flash CM9 or one of the leaks your phone will be damaged. The i9100G is sort of crippled ROM developement wise from the start due to it's lack of Exynos in favour of some old TI-OMAP. Your only choice is to wait for Samsung to released ICS for your phone.

Lol,how is that possible ? O-o Does that mean I can't install any custom roms or its just the cm9 ?

IIRC, there is only one ROM available for your phone and that is SuperROM (Android 2.0.3). All other ROMs will brick your phone.
That's right. You can only install custom roms that are specifically written for the I9100G. And there aren't many of them. Someone on here said a couple of weeks ago that there are two (don't quote me on it tho).
If you flash a rom meant for any other SGS2 variant, as Xethor said, you run the risk of bricking your phone.

Damn...I had to get it since its the only S2 version available here.Why samsung ? Why would u make different versions of galaxy s2 ??!!! :/ Well I guess I'll just have to depend on launchers.I got Go launcher EX,launcher7 and ADWLauncher.If you by any chance know a nice ICS theme,can u give me the market link ?
At first I also didn't knew the difference between I9100 and I9100G. I bricked my phone by flashing one of the I9100 ROM. Then I figured it out, unbricked it again. And now i'm running SuperROM with ICS Domination v2.0 theme.
I9100G sucks big time, both in hardware and software.
Only four ROM's are available for 'G' variant:
SuperROM
Juffo ROM
Galaxyrom rc4
Darky ROM
Can't believe it took 6 replies for someone to point out to the OP that the G version is different to the International model. Lucky he didn't brick it. So glad the T version is the same except it requires its own modem.

Hello guys, I have a question regarding this MIUI ROM
http://translate.google.co.in/trans...a=X&ei=XqZNUKyCCcXqrQey7IHQAg&ved=0CCIQ7gEwAA
check out the link and scroll down, Galaxy S3 i9300 is supported and is currently based on 4.1 Jellybean
I now wonder how I can install the rom to my S3, and what do I need to flash it.
I'm also curious about the ROM's bugs, is there any if ever? is it stable?
since this one came directly from MIUI devs, I thought this one would be better?
I really like the simplicity of the ROM, I also wonder if the its okay to flash the kernel fix in this rom so I will not have the Sudden death issue?
I hope you guys can answer all of my questions ~
thanks a lot in advance!
1) To install a custom rom you need custom recovery..clockworkmod recovery is the best...search in posts for cfroot+cwm(clockworkmod)..
Steps to install will be found in its official website
2)miui rom is an excellent..it is stable...few bugs will be there...even the official release has bugs...but a very few only..
3) kernel fix is safe and is recommended to prevent dead devices
Hope it helps...

It's not. You need to try them for yourself to decide which one is the best for you.
I prefer TWRP

That s true.
I like CWM better because of the sobriety.
TWRP is more feature-rich, but a little more messy UI wise, in my opinion

Omega is a custom ROM.If you want a stock ROM you will need to flash one via Odin so let us know where your from.If you want you can update Omega instead.
Custom ROMs give you more options and more mods/themes etc. than stock ROMs also.

im just a little mad about Omega's rom speed its annoying
as i saw its abut 800 mg size and its too much i think and may be thats because it is slow
i just find a link "Guide to Install HyperLight ROM on Samsung Galaxy S3 l9300" its just 187.09 mg
whats your idea guys?
im a lil confused
please help me out
AOSP based ROMs take much less space than Samsung based ones, has nothing to do with speed

You can try the new AOKP build. Vibrantmtd is once supported again instructions for installing the rom are listed in the thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208126.
As far as GPS is concerned it is either a hit or miss...might work or it might not. Unfortunately I am not able to test it since my vibrant is bricked
But I can tell you that AOKP is an excellent rom I been using it for nearly a year now since I bought my Galaxy Nexus. It is far much better than ICS passion in every aspect. Never had any problems with it.
As for the kernel I can't really say which one I would recommend since I honestly can't ever recall flashing a kernel for my vibrant...I've always used the kernels that are included in the ROM(S).
Just remember to backup your apps...because you will lose them in the process since this is not an update...it is more of an upgrade(4.0.3 to 4.2.2).
Good luck and feel free to ask any more questions.

The ROM will update you straight to 4.2.2. I don't think you need to be on 4.1 to update or any other version for that matter. Just flash the ROM through recovery and you should be good to go. Good luck.
You can use my cyanaosp build which is reported to have good gos from many users http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167819

Hello everyone,
I have now been using Cyanogenmod 13.0-2016127 for awhile and I need something simpler. This ROM is full of bugs and I really just want something that works.
I am looking for a stripped-down (no bloatware, optimization tweaks would be a plus) stock Kitkat 4.4.4 ROM for the Moto E (1st generation). I think it's the XT-1021, it only has one SIM card slot.
I found this page, but it's only for the XT-1022
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/development/flashable-zip-stock-deodexed-rom-moto-e-t2823368
I have been poking around but so far all I've found is SlimKat 4.4.4, another version of cyanogenmod, and clockworkmod. I don't know how stable any of these are and I'm not interested at all in any custom ROMs at this point. All I want is a slimmed down stock ROM. Can anybody please help me find one, if it is out there?
Alternatively, a regular old vanilla stock ROM would be acceptable if no stripped-down versions are available. I haven't been able to find this either, I can only find it for the XT-1022!
Thank you.
Lollipop roms are very stable . you can use stock lollipop ROM or mokee ROM which is odexed and very stable . http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?uk=675898618&shareid=3414102494&third=0&adapt=pc&fr=ftw

Thank you very much satanas. I will try installing that 4.4.4 ROM for US retail XT-1023 tonight and I will post the results.
I was trying a cyanogenmod 4.4.4 for the past few days, but mobile data is completely disabled and it cannot use a SD for internal storage so those are two major problems.
Here's a couple more simple questions.
1. Is there a stripped-down version of the stock ROMs that satanas just linked to? That would be awesome!
2. Is there anyway to relock my boot loader and restore my warranty after I reinstall a stock 4.4.4 ROM?
Thank you all!

Seems to be some tutorials but never tested...by the way, keep in mind that Motorola already knows your phone is unlocked !!! They gave you the code to do so !!!
That's the game, in fact...don't be to worried, these Moto's are really good stuff...Of course, you have to follow procedures carefully if you want everything perfect
