I want to keep my Fascinate around as a Backup phone so I want to install the most stable ROM. Would that be Stock (EH03 Gingerbread), or is there some Jellybean or KitKat ROM which would be quicker?

A friend of mine asked me to flash his phone with a new ROM. He's still on the original ROM that came with the phone, rooted. But is complaining about the phone being very laggy.
Would you suggest to just update the phone to the latest stock ROM, or which stable ROM would you suggest to flash?
Any nightly build is out of question, as well as any ICS ROM, since I believe they are all in Alpha/Beta version. He will no be playing constantly updathing his custom rom to the latest build, so I just want to flash an already stable ROM, better than a stock solution.
Thanks for your input.

Cm7 rc1. Enough said lol.
Custom rom of course. I prefer nottachtrix, since its stable and 2.3.6 android with blur.
Sent from my MB860
Unlock bootloader and flash Nottachtrix 1.3.1.
If you flash that, also flash the fixed 2.3.6 webtop afterwards.

Hello everyone .
I don't know what to do . I am sitting a lot , trying to update my version (4.0.3) to 4.2.1. Also, i am looking for a stable Rom with working GPS.
Do i have to update my version in oder to put a Rom that based on a newer Version?
I got Ics Passion v13 with 3.1.10-ICS Passion Kernel.
I tried to update from Kies but it doesn't recognize my Phone (There is no option in the ICS ROM to put the USB connection in Kies mode )
I really need help - how to update the version and what Kind of Rom and Kernel are the bests in your opinion ?
Thanks for helping =]

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
Or you can use my rootbox port which also has great gps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167857

Finally i had time to do the upgarde. Unfortunately i tried to flash the Rom but it says eror.... Before the step of Flashing the rom, in the guide has been written that i have to wipe system... but i didn't find this option.... What should i do now ?
What's the most updated stock rom (with the new update i keep seeing around these threads)? And how can I install it? I'm coming from a custom rom already and want to switch back to stock, or maybe close to stock.

I'm looking to update from Android 4.0.4. My SGH i777 is rooted from last year.
I have the clockwork mod recovery installed from last year. Using AOKP I think.
There's ROM's for 4.3 but I don't see any kernels posted here. Can someone point me in the right direction? Apparently the sg2 has left the limelight for a while now.
Once I get the kernel updated, does anyone have any good ROMs to recommend?
Thanks
ps You guys are an awesome community.
Which rom is a personal matter. You should try them yourself to see what you like. If you want Samsung Touchwiz based firmware, the latest version will be 4.1.2. To get 4.2.2 or 4.3, you will have to go with one of the AOSP based roms.
Since you have a custom kernel with CWM Recovery, just pick the firmware you want to try and flash it in recovery. You don't need to install another kernel first.
Wait, so all I have to do is pick another ROM? That's it? No firmware update?

firmware update? no. Whether 4.0.4 or 2.3.whatever, you already have have root/cwm; all that's left is a some recommended housecleaning*, then flash whatever ROM you want.
*either:
rom-cleaning-script
or:
factory reset
+format system
Mind = blown. Thanks so much guys!
In my experience with custom ROMs, I found that ShoStock3 v4.0 and UCMD8 v2.2 COOKED give the best battery life and stability, but I use the stock kernel for ShoStock and AJK v4.9 for UCMD8 COOKED. CM/PA/AOKP have given me subpar results in terms of stability and, most importantly (for me anyway), battery life. This is not to say that those other ROMs are bad, but for me, those haven't been working out. Your mileage may vary. Just my $0.02.

So you're looking for a rom. The rom you use will all depend on the type of software you like. If you like touchwiz, I recommend Shostock 3 4.0 or the Cooked Rom. If you're looking for a AOKP Android 4.2.2 rom, then I would use the Resurrection Remix rom, but remember, all roms differ on every phone. Not everyone gets the same results. I wouldn't use a 4.3 rom because its fairly new and pretty unstable on some phones, but if you really want to, I got the best results on the Carbon rom, but the battery life wasn't so good. Also, a lot of the 4.2 and 4.3 roms require you to flash gapps, which are the google apps for you phone. If you're looking for kernels, the usually come with the rom you download, so you don't really need to get a kernel. If you really want the extra customization and tweaks, there are some kernels out there, including AJK, Jeboo, and STI, that you can flash. I personally use AJK on a lot of my roms because I found it to be the most sucessful. I am running Shostock 3 with jeboo kernal right now. Shostock 3 has good performance, stability, and battery life and is touchwiz. So yeah, keep all this in mind when flashing a kernal. You don't to connect your phone to the computer or anything to flash a kernel. If you're rooted, you just have to have the rom in your phone storage or SD card and go into clockworkmod recovery and flash. Hope this helps and good luck on finding a rom that's right for you!
Hello Gents,
I moved a while back from Sola (Bought a LG G2), but now I'm thinking about giving my sola to my dad.
Can you tell me at this time which is most stable ROM that we have for Sola?
He wont be using much apps, mostly browsing and phonecalls, so I'm trying to prepare the phone to be stable enough so that I won't need to flash it every month.
From my experience before I "left" the Russian Cyanogen 11 was the best for me.

Since you want your dad to use it and he will be making very basic use of it supposedly, I would suggest to go with stock rom, root it and remove the bloatware, it will make it lighter. All custom roms will have more stability issues than the stock one.
